That's not going to work."

Ma Shilong, who was standing in the rear watching the battle, frowned, never expecting that Jiannu's resistance would be so fierce. The army tried to storm the city wall several times, but was forced to drive it down. As for the crashing car, I don't know what was behind the city gate, but it didn't move at all, only a rumbling sound.

"If I had brought a few artillery pieces, it wouldn't have been like this."

Ma Shilong let out a sigh of helplessness, and in order to move forward lightly, he deliberately abandoned such a bulky thing as artillery. Now that I think about it, if a few cannons were to rush into the heavy door, there would definitely be unexpected gains.

Ma Shilong lamented that the attack was not going well, and Jiannu's resistance was fierce. But Brother Hao, who was defending the city, felt the pressure doubled, and a few Ming soldiers who rushed to the city gate from time to time made the army scramble, and he was like a machine to fill the gaps, where he needed to go.

Think about it, the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom have always only attacked, when they were so aggrieved, waiting for others to fight in the city.

The attack lasted for an afternoon, and as the time was delayed, the Ming army's attack gradually relaxed.

Taking advantage of this gap, Brother Hao looked around. The people under his hands were also out of breath at this time, but because they were standing on high ground, they were not exhausted, and they had no power to resist.

"General".

Ma Dazui, who was injured, came to Ma Shilong with the support of his guards, looking ashamed.

It was a shame that a full 15,000 elite soldiers could not capture a city guarded by only more than 5,000 people, and he was seriously injured.

Ma Shilong sighed, looking at Ma Dazui, who was full of injuries, he couldn't bear to blame, after all, Ma Dazui had just fought bravely on the city wall, and he was also in his eyes, so he couldn't say that Ma Dazui was incompetent, but he could only say that the other party was really resisting too fiercely.

"Mingjin retreats."

Regardless of whether Ma Shilong was willing to watch the army attack, he was already a little depressed, so he could only reluctantly order the withdrawal of troops.

In the middle of the night, a pair of Ming troops under the leadership of Xiaoqi kept shuttling around the camp, and the army occupation under the command of Ma Shilong was brightly lit.

Ma Shilong and seven or eight thousand households were sitting in the camp tent with sad faces, looking at Shengjing not far away, and couldn't think of any good way to take Shengjing for a while.

"The army still has a few days of food and grass."

Rubbing his slightly swollen temples, Ma Shilong asked the counselor beside him softly.

"There are less than 15 days left".

Hearing the counselor's reply, Ma Shilong suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart.

The grain and grass on the 15th, that is to say, I will stay in Shengjing for three or two days at most, once the time is too long, the grain and grass are likely to be unable to sustain the army and not return to Shanhaiguan.

I was a little too optimistic at the beginning, I thought that I could take advantage of the emptiness inside Jiannu to quickly win Shengjing, but now it is really difficult to ride a tiger.

Zu Dashou's camp.

Zu Dashou, who had already fallen asleep in wide clothes, was woken up by his relatives beside him, and his fluffy left hand was pleasing to the eyes, thinking that Brother Hao on the opposite side had attacked again, so he hurriedly sobered up.

It's just that there is no movement outside, and the surroundings are quiet, looking at his relatives with a puzzled face.

"Master, Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Zuo Qiantun, has sent a herald."

Zu Dashou muttered to himself, not understanding what kind of herald he sent to Ma Shilong, who was sitting in the rear.

"See General".

Due to the fear of being intercepted by the Jiannu cavalry on the road, several Ma Shilong's heralds went out day and night, constantly looking for Zu Dashou throughout Liaodong. It wasn't until half a day ago that I met a few scouts from the ancestor Da Shou Yinzhong in the process of searching, and then I came to the camp under the leadership of the scouts.

"Tell me, what did General Ma send you for?"

For Ma Shilong and himself on the same level, Zu Dashou still respects him very much.

"This is the general's letter and the order of the overseer."

Hearing Zu Dashou's inquiry, the herald hurriedly took out two things from his body and handed them to Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou, who was puzzled, took the letter from the herald. When I opened it, I was immediately shocked by the plan in it. I never imagined that the courage of the highlands and Ma Shilong would be so great that they would take advantage of this gap to directly attack the Bible, this idea was simply earth-shattering, and I never thought of it, nor did I dare to think about it.

No wonder Gao Di asked Ma Shilong to stay at the beginning, it seems that this plan had been arranged at the beginning, and even he and the other horses were treated as a magnet by Gao Di at all, a magnet to attract Shengjing people and horses.

"You came down from Shengjing City"?

After reading the letter, Zu Dashou suppressed the shock in his heart and asked softly.

The herald also nodded hurriedly.

Zu Dashou continued to ask: "How is Shengjing doing now?"

Zuo Dashou also had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't know if Shengjing had been captured. After all, according to the current strength of Jiannu, Shengjing is only three or four thousand people, and the 15,000-strong army attacking Shengjing, although it is not easy to capture, but it is also an easy matter, not to mention that Ma Shilong, a veteran of a hundred battles, is in charge of command.

The heralds scratched their heads a little embarrassed, it turned out that these heralds had actually been sent out by Ma Shilong when the army had just besieged the city, because Ma Shilong's army was moving forward in concealment, he couldn't receive the news from the rear at all, and he didn't even know where Ma Shilong's army was now.

Even these heralds wandered around Liaodong for two whole days, and they still needed to be careful of Jiannu's cavalry along the way. If it weren't for Zu Dashou's scouts, maybe he would have to go around Liaodong for a few more days.

Zu Dashou nodded, and the people under his command first took the herald down to rest, and he found a few thousands of households under his command to come to discuss.

Except for two thousand households who were keeping vigil tonight, the rest of the people had already fallen asleep, and when they heard Zu Dashou's order, they hurriedly dressed and came to the camp tent.

For these thousands of households are his confidants, Zu Dashou doesn't need to hide anything, so he tells the contents of the letter one by one.

Several thousands of households were also like Zu Dashou, stunned by this earth-shattering plan.

"I'm relieved to see you all look like that."

Seeing that the people under his hands were the same, Zu Dashou suddenly felt much more comfortable.

"This plan is good, once it succeeds, it will definitely shock the entire government and the opposition."

A thousand households were full of surprise.

"That's right, that's right. Even if Ma Shilong eats meat in the future, we can still drink a mouthful of hot soup. You must know no, let's hold Dai Shan's men and horses here, and if we give him twice as many elite soldiers, we won't be able to capture Shengjing."

Regarding what the thousand households under his hand said, Zu Dashou also agreed very much. However, the people under his hands actually said that they could only drink a mouthful of hot soup, which made Zu Dashou feel a little unhappy, and he had to sit at the same table with Ma Shilong.

When I thought that I only needed to confront Dai Shan here, I didn't need to lose my troops at all, as long as I prevented Dai Shan from withdrawing his troops and returning to Shengjing, my mood was very good.
