Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 415 Ma Chao Injured
As soon as the defenders at Tongguan began to exert their strength, the pressure on the Yizhou army increased sharply, and they could not even go up the wall of Tongguan.But Ma Chao in the rear has never called for gold to withdraw his troops, so even if the soldiers of the Yizhou Army knew that Tongguan was a cave of dragons and tigers, they could only bite the bullet.

In fact, Ma Chao did not forget Ming Jin.As an excellent general, although Ma Chao would occasionally be irrational, Ma Chao could still see the current situation where soldiers' lives were wasted in vain.

It's just that Guo Jia stopped Ma Chao Mingjin's order in order to attract the defenders of Tongguan.As for how many of the [-] soldiers can survive, it depends on their own lives.

However, before the Tongguan defenders could wipe out the Yizhou soldiers under the pass wall, two elite crossbow carts were pushed to the top of the city.

"My lord, can this thing really hit Ma Chao?" Qu Yi had long known that there were these two ballistas in Tongguan, but Qu Yi didn't really believe in these two strange things. power.

After all, the big man is not without ballistas.It's just that most of the ballistas are very old, even if they can still be used, their power is greatly reduced.After all, the big man has been at ease for too long, but the research and development of some war equipment has been neglected.

When Ye Mo heard Qu Yi's question, he immediately rolled his eyes at Qu Yi.Good guy, he didn't have many elite ballistas. He put two in Tongguan, but Qu Yi thought they were useless.

"The power of these two crossbow carts, Qu Yi, you have to take a good look at it!" Ye Mo looked like he hated iron but not steel. Qu Yi also brought a group of crossbowmen, so why would he ignore it? What about the role of the ballista?
Randomly find a few crossbowmen summoned from the system to operate the two ballistas. For the crossbowmen, it should not be too simple to use the ballista produced by the operating system.

Xu Rong and the others saw that Ye Mo was fiddling with the ballista, and seeing that the pressure on the defenders on the wall was not too great, they also squeezed into the vicinity of the two ballista.

Under Tongguan, Ma Chao and Guo Jia also saw two ballistas protruding from the pass wall.

"Military officer, look, the defenders on Tongguan have even pushed out their ballistas. It seems that their defense equipment is about to run out." Ma Chao looked at the two ballistas, his frowning brows suddenly It stretched out.

The range of the ballista is only five or six hundred steps, and with the height difference of the Tongguan wall, the shot of the crossbow can reach eight hundred steps.But Ma Chao and the others are a thousand steps away from Tongguan.

Therefore, after seeing the defenders in Tongguan pushing out the ballista, Ma Chao thought that there were not many rolling stones and trees above Tongguan, and he could only use the ballista to seek luck.

However, Guo Jia looked at the two ballistas pushed out from Tongguan, but for no reason there was a sense of urgency in his heart.

Although Guo Jia is a first-class strategist, but after all, his background is not very good, and he has only heard of things like ballistas but never seen them.

According to the few words left over from the period of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, it is not difficult for Guo Jia to see that the ballista is extremely powerful.Even if there are enough ballistas, the trend of a war can be changed.

"My lord, the defenders at Tongguan will definitely not be aimless. Let's take a step back." Guo Jia looked at the two ballistas in Tongguan and the dazzling light reflected from the huge arrow body, and turned to Ma Chao. suggested.

When Ma Chao heard what Guo Jia said, he smiled indifferently. "Military commander, don't worry, Tongguan has only pushed out the ballista at this time, which means that Tongguan has reached the point of exhaustion. As long as we persist, Tongguan will surely go down!"

"It's just..." Guo Jia wanted to say something, but the unease in his heart didn't change at all because of Ma Chao's words.

But Ma Chao didn't give Guo Jia a chance to speak. He interrupted Guo Jia directly, and said, "I've seen ballistas too. Its range is only six or seven hundred steps, and its accuracy is extremely poor. Now we are about [-] meters away from Tongguan." A distance of a thousand steps, why should the military commander be afraid of it?"

Seeing that Ma Chao refused to listen to him, Guo Jia could only sigh.It's just that Ma Chao didn't leave, so Guo Jia could only stay by Ma Chao's side.

Above Tongguan, those strong crossbowmen had already finished the preparations before launching the ballista. As soon as Ye Mo gave an order, the two huge crossbow arrows would rush towards Ma Chao and the 3000 people.

Qu Yi looked at the two ballistas, although he said he didn't believe in their power, but at this moment, Qu Yi was still quite excited.When did Ye Mo say something false?
"My lord, give the order quickly, so that we can open our eyes." Not only Qu Yi, but also Dian Wei stood aside and booed at this time.

Unlike Qu Yi, Dian Wei has seen the power of the system ballista.After all, Dian Wei was also a person who used to live in the military camp in the west of the city, and was even the leader of it at one time.

It's just that watching the ballista shoot at the target is obviously different from watching the ballista attack the enemy.

Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Ye Mo naturally wouldn't hold everyone's appetite.

"Aim at the two men riding horses in front of the opponent, let them go!" Seeing Qu Yi and the others, Ye Mo was looking forward to it, so he directly gave an order to the soldiers manipulating the ballista.

"Huh! Huh!"

Two sounds of piercing through the air sounded in succession, and the crossbow arrows flew straight at Ma Chao.

If you think about it, you will understand how fast it should be to be able to fire a crossbow bolt of 1000 or [-] paces.Especially the crossbow bolts are specially made, and the weight is much heavier than ordinary crossbow bolts.

Ma Chao was still joking about the two ballistas displayed in Tongguan, but when he saw the arrows being fired, Ma Chao's expression froze, even seeing a ghost was nothing more than that.

Looking at the trajectories of those two crossbow arrows, they could really hit him.

"Military division, get off the horse!" However, Ma Chao reacted quickly and yelled at Guo Jia.

However, Guo Jia is not as good as Xu Shu.Even if Ye Mo hadn't asked Xu Shu to bring the Taoist priests to Yizhou to treat Guo Jia, Guo Jia might already be lying on the hospital bed right now.

Seeing that Guo Jia was unable to react in time, Ma Chao immediately rode up to Guo Jia.

At this time, one of the crossbow arrows also came to Ma Chao.Seeing this, Ma Chao could only swing the tiger-headed golden spear in his hand, and stab the flying crossbow arrows.

However, the range of the crossbow is 1000 or [-] steps, plus it was shot down from the city wall, a distance of [-] steps, and the power of the crossbow is not something that Ma Chao can stop in a hurry.

With just one blow, Ma Chao was directly knocked away from his horse by the powerful potential energy of the crossbow. After hitting Guo Jia, he brought Guo Jia down to the ground.

The crossbow was hit by Ma Chao, and the device inside the crossbow was activated immediately, and the iron pieces on the arrow immediately scattered, and more than a dozen of Ma Chao's personal guards nearby fell into a pool of blood.

Even Ma Chao was hit by a piece of iron in the chest.However, fortunately, the chain mail on Ma Chao's body was not ordinary, which canceled out most of the power of the iron plate, but made the iron plate stuck between the two ribs on Ma Chao's chest.

Seeing that Ma Chao was injured, Guo Jia's expression suddenly changed.At this time, Guo Jia also didn't care about his own strategy. If Ma Chao hadn't blocked Guo Jia just now, Guo Jia would have become one of the people lying on the ground at this time.

"Proceed with the order to protect the lord and retreat. Have someone notify General Ma Dai and General Pang De to come to meet him!" Guo Jia looked at the injured Ma Chao and immediately ordered.

However, after hearing Guo Jia's words, Ma Chao gritted his teeth, resisted the pain and said: "Military Master, I don't need to respond, and the plan doesn't need to be changed!"

Guo Jia looked at Ma Chao like this, it seemed that he was joking, and after thinking about some of the key points, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Leave five hundred soldiers, and the rest, escort the lord to retreat!" Guo Jia gave the order again, but this time, Guo Jia's tone was more murderous.
