Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Under the city of Chang'an, there are flags like a forest.

The west-slanting red sun renders the white clouds in the sky into a blood-red color, and thousands of golden lights pass through the gaps between the clouds and spread on the vast and endless land of Guanzhong.

Such a beautiful sight is unappreciated.

Teams of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as majestic as tigers, galloped back and forth under Chang'an City, holding the unique blood-colored banner of the Xiliang Army, giving momentum to the allies attacking the city.

The city of Chang'an is high and deep, the average width of the moat has exceeded thirty feet, and the height of the city has also exceeded five feet. Arrow stacks are scattered every step on the tower, and the archers of the Han army have already taken their positions. The master will issue orders and deal head-on blows to the invading enemy!
But it is a pity that the Xiliang army has been bluffing under the city for two or three hours, and has not yet crossed the moat. To be precise, it has not yet filled in a road on the moat.

In the era of cold weapons, the moat is almost an insurmountable moat.

Even if the moat is crossed, breaking the city gate is a worldwide problem. In a big city like Chang'an, the four gates have a second fortification, which is the Wengcheng. This defensive method makes it difficult for the enemy to enter through the city gate. Full.

Therefore, in most cases, the siege party will choose the road of hard climbing the city wall, and climbing the city wall requires the use of siege equipment, such as siege vehicles and ladders.

The defender's most effective countermeasure against climbing the city wall is the arrow stack.Many methods of defending the city are based on arrow stacks.

In the era of cold weapons, regardless of cavalry or infantry, generals were extremely reluctant to lead troops to attack the city unless it was absolutely necessary.Don't look at the soldiers riding the ladder, climbing up like ants, they are very brave, but what greets them is the rain of arrows like locusts, bright spear points, heavy rolling logs, huge rocks, even lime powder, plant ash, Boiling water, boiling oil, golden juice...

The soldiers who attacked the city were almost equivalent to screaming and rushing to hell. The siege battle was much more tragic than the confrontation on the plain.Every time a city is captured, there are basically mountains of corpses under the city.

Therefore, since ancient times, many generals, such as Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, Cao Cao, etc., would connive at the soldiers to slaughter and loot the city after they broke the city, and vent their anger during the siege.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" also said because of this: attacking the mind is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom.

Even when most smart generals have a big advantage, they will deliberately leave a gap when attacking the city, shoot a few arrows in advance, state their strength, shake the enemy's morale, give the defenders a chance to escape, and avoid death. Only by knocking down can the city be taken with the least casualties. This is the must for a siege.

However, there are still some not-so-intelligent generals who try to be brave by force, or are provoked by a word from the opponent, regardless of military common sense, they just want to attack the city with iron fists...

For example, at this moment, Ma Chao under the city of Chang'an.

For such tough generals, Ma Su's consistent principle is to teach them how to behave!

There was another hour when it was getting dark, and the Xiliang Army finally filled in a few ridges on the moat for soldiers to pass through. Countless soldiers held up ladders and approached the city wall in a dense mass.

Seeing this, a young lieutenant in charge of dispatching the archers immediately came to Ma Di and reported to him nervously: "Major General, the enemy soldiers have already begun to attack the city, do you want to attack?"

Ma Di glanced at him in surprise, shook his head, and made a calm gesture: "When their first soldier is about to climb the city wall, the ladder must be full of people. Do it, understand?"

"Yes, the general understands, is that archery or rolling logs and rocks?"

"Your first day in the army?"

Ma Di glanced at the general in surprise again.

What else is there to ask?Of course, it is the most lethal way.

"Back to the young general, the last general has been in the army for five years." The young general replied, and just as he turned to leave, he was stopped by Ma Su again.

"Tell the soldiers in the army, don't panic, I will make them come and go in this battle!"

Speaking of this, Ma Di raised the corners of his mouth slightly, trying his best to make an expression of Zhizhu in his hands, and conveyed his composure and self-confidence to every soldier who could see his expression.

As a king-level general who has led troops to fight for many years, he knows that the performance of the general in a war directly determines the performance of the soldiers.

Just like Zhuge Liang, who has healthy limbs, insisted on sitting on a slow-moving wooden wheeled cart to convey to the soldiers that "this battle must be won, if not, I, the coach, will be the first to be unlucky." From that moment on, Ma Di has been standing proudly on the top of the city, with a calm expression on his face, not only conveying confidence to the soldiers with his own actions, but also letting some of his own soldiers spread his prestige everywhere.

Who is the major general?To kill Dong Zhuo is to put down Lu Bu's bloody man Tu Ma Su!
As soon as these two words spread, the eight thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of people in Chang'an City immediately had a backbone.

It is not the first time that Ma Di has led troops since this era. He just drove away Lu Bu in Guanzhong not long ago. There is absolutely no need to use this method to instill confidence and boost morale in the soldiers.

However, among the [-] soldiers, [-] were soldiers from the Northern Army of the imperial court, who hardly knew him; the other [-] soldiers did know him, but they were all recruits recruited in Luhun County, and they were on the battlefield for the first time.

Therefore, it is not without reason that Ma Su did this.

Soldiers have their own unique set of criteria for judging their own generals.When they serve under a certain general, they only look at what the general is doing and what he has done; rather than looking at his background and what he said.Only when the general's performance meets their expectations for a good general, will they swear to follow.

A general with a good background and no achievements may be admired in the court, but he will never gain the respect and trust from his colleagues and low-level soldiers, and this kind of trust is crucial in war. Replacement.

The defeat of Jieting in another time and space came from this. It is not so much that the "Ma Di" lost on the mountain of Shedao and was cut off from the water source.It would be better to say that he lost because of the failure of orders. Whether it was the deputy general Wang Ping or the low-level soldiers, they were full of doubts about his orders from the very beginning, and their execution ability was greatly reduced. How can the army win under such circumstances? Combat power?How can it be undefeated like this?
Ma Di understands this very well, and because of this, he is particularly sensitive to changes in the soldiers' mentality and morale.

details make a difference.

Therefore, even if the other party is just a bronze and silver-ranked reckless man named Ma Chao, while Ma Di contempt verbally, he also pays enough attention psychologically.

Soon, the Xiliang army's siege began.

Under Ma Chao's urging, the Xiliang Army's siege operation was astonishing. Hundreds of ladders were deployed, and nearly a thousand people launched an attack at the same time—climbing the ladders.

The climbing operation went very well at first.Ma Chao saw that the soldiers of the Han army on the city seemed to have been frightened, and they let thousands of soldiers approach the city step by step without any hindrance.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Ma Chao's mouth twitched slightly, as if he had seen the scene where the young general who humiliated him with outrageous words was pinned to the ground by him and rubbed mercilessly after breaking through the city...

Then he saw the soldiers of the Han army on the top of the city grinning grinningly, throwing the rolling logs down the ladder mercilessly.

The screams of Xiliang Army soldiers resounded through Chang'an City in an instant.In just a moment, more than half of the more than 1000 soldiers who went to attack the city died, and the rest were basically disabled.

"Hahahaha, Ma Chao, you're useless if I give you a chance..." Ma Di looked up to the sky and laughed, the triumph in his laughter could be heard half a mile away.

The smile on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth froze suddenly, his heart felt as if someone had punched him hard, and he was in so much pain.

Ma Teng glanced at the young son, didn't say much, but waved his hand and gave the order to retreat.

The Xiliang army receded like a tide.

Tranquility quickly returned to the city of Chang'an.
