Wei Yan's attack on Jincheng this time was to encircle Wei and save Zhao, attack it must be saved, and directly attack Han Sui's lair, so he couldn't help but not rescue, but Han Sui also knew that if he withdrew like this, his hard work for many days would be in vain, so Han Sui left his son-in-law Yan Xing to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard Guzang, and he led the remaining 10,000 people to rescue Jincheng urgently.

However, he didn't expect that not far from Guzang had just left, and Han Sui encountered Wei Yan's ambush.

In fact, Han Sui also thought that he would encounter Wei Yan's ambush soldiers, but in his opinion, when he wanted to meet the ambush soldiers, he had to reach Jincheng as soon as possible, but he did not expect that the ambush soldiers would be less than two hundred miles away from Guzang City, which was really unexpected.

It is precisely because of the lack of preparation that the soldiers of the whole army will be so flustered when they encounter an ambush.

This time, Wei Yan was fully prepared, he made full use of the terrain, set up an ambush in a valley, shot the enemy from both sides of the valley, and then threw thunder stones and rolling wood down the mountain, and then threw dry firewood, and then threw torches down.

The loss of more than 2,000 people before made Wei Yan really angry, although most of the more than 2,000 people were newly recruited Xiliang Army and Xiangyong, but they were also soldiers under Wei Yan, representing Wei Yan's achievements and face, so Wei Yan was so ruthless and launched such a ruthless ambush on Han Sui's army.

In this battle, Han then suffered heavy losses, about half of the 10,000 people died here, these soldiers were either shot by bows and crossbows, or stoned to death, or burned to death by fire, one by one, as miserable as hell on earth.

"I was careless and caused such a heavy loss, I really regret it at the beginning." Looking at the dejected appearance of the soldiers under his command one by one, and seeing that his own losses were so heavy today, Han Sui sighed and regretted it, his carelessness caused irreparable losses, not only failed to save Jincheng, but caused such a fiasco, it was really shameless.

After Han Sui led the army to retreat, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What should we do now?" ”

I saw the general Cheng Gongying said: "Lord, so far, we have no other way, we can only turn back to Guzang, Wei Yan wants our family to let him go, we take the opportunity to occupy the entire Wuwei County, cut off his retreat, cut off his grain route, even if he gets our family, what can he do?" Is it not a dead end in the end? ”

Han Sui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had to say that this was a good idea, but Han Sui was deeply worried that Wei Yan controlled the families of the officers and soldiers in the army, which was a very dangerous thing, and if he was not careful, he would repeat Guo Yan's mistakes, and the whole army would fall apart overnight.

Han Sui said his worries, but saw Cheng Gongying smile and said: "At this time and that time, it was Wei Yan besieging the city, Guo Yan had no way to retreat, but once the lord occupied Wuwei and cut off Wei Yan's retreat, it was Wei Yan who encountered difficulties, and at that time, he had to guard against the attack of our army outside, and he had to guard against the rebellion of his family members inside, and at the same time he would face the dilemma of lack of food and grass, and its defeat was inevitable, we only need to guard against Pei Qinghui and lead the army to help, and we will definitely win the final victory in this battle!" ”

Han Sui was overjoyed when he heard this, and clapped his hands and praised: "Gongying, you are my brainchild, so let's take a break, and then return to Guzang, as for Jincheng, then give it to him, anyway, we will not suffer a loss by exchanging Jincheng for martial arts." ”

At this time, I saw Cheng Gongying and said: "Lord, according to the last general, we still try to rest as much as possible, and rush directly to Guzang in one go, the last general always feels that this Wei Yan is not simple, he is afraid that he may not necessarily attack Jincheng, in case he leads the army directly to Guzang and takes the opportunity to defraud Guzang City, then we will work hard in vain, and we will have to take so many years of losses." ”

But he saw Han Sui and said: "Wei Yan'er has always liked to blackmail the defenders with his family, which quickly led to the collapse of the other party, Guo Yan was an example before, and we are now defeated, seeing that Jincheng County is at our fingertips, and it is not so easy to occupy Guzang, because there is my female patrol Yan Xing guarding there, not to mention anything else, with his bravery and the thousands of soldiers in the city, it is no problem to hold for three or five days, once our army arrives, the inside and outside of the city will be flanked by the back, he is at risk of annihilation, compared with the two, one is easy, One is taking a huge risk, what should he choose? So in my opinion, Wei Yanxiao'er will definitely choose to attack Jincheng, besides, our army is newly defeated, and the morale has not yet recovered, even if they are asked to go all out to Guzang, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it. ”

"This ......" Cheng Gongying was silent for a moment when he heard this, because what Han Sui said was also the truth, with the current state of the generals and soldiers in the army, it was indeed a little unreasonable for them to march in a hurry, so Cheng Gongying then sighed: "I hope I was blind and worried about the sky before, but no matter what, our marching speed is better as fast as possible." ”

"This is natural, if we are fast enough, Wei Yan may not have time to occupy Jincheng yet." Han Sui did not object to this, so he ordered the soldiers to rest for a day and return to Guzang immediately tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, Han Sui did not directly tell these soldiers that they were going to return to Guzang, otherwise these soldiers would definitely have mood swings, and maybe someone would flee in the middle of the night, after all, their families were still in Jincheng, and they were also worried about the safety of their families.

However, Han Sui didn't know that it was the delay of this night that made him lose the opportunity to control Wuwei forever, because Wei Yan didn't stop at all after the victory, and immediately led the army to take a detour to Guzang, although he also knew that this was an excellent opportunity to occupy Jincheng, but Wei Yan knew that occupying Guzang and controlling Wuwei was the biggest goal of his trip, as long as he firmly controlled Wuwei, Jincheng would be his own sooner or later.

Because the soldiers under Wei Yan's command had just won a big victory, their morale was at a high level, and the soldiers under his command had the dry food and bacon prepared for them by Pei Qing, which was easy to carry and could quickly replenish their physical strength, so they were able to set off immediately without feeling tired.

Because it was advancing at full speed, and because the war horses were well rested during the ambush, Wei Yan's army marched quickly, and it only took one day to reach the city of Guzang.

At this time, it was twilight, because Wei Yan and they were wearing armor picked up from Han Sui's killed soldiers, and they were also under the banner of Han Sui's generals, plus it was at night, and they couldn't see it clearly, the surname Yan stationed in Guzang City thought it was his own person, and he just asked about the name and purpose of the main general under the city, but he was easily fooled by Wei Yan, after all, there were a few people in this team who surrendered to Wei Yan, Wei Yan could naturally easily know the name of Han Sui's general, as for the purpose, it was actually very simple, Wei Yan only said that Han Sui was worried about the weak defense of Guzang City and was uneasy, so he transferred them into the city to cooperate in the defense.

Yan Xing did not have the slightest suspicion and ordered the city gate to be opened.
