Anding County, the head of Linjing City.

Yang Qiu was actually a little skeptical of Wei Yan's words, he thought that since Ma Chao had already withdrawn from the army, he should not come back, even if he knew that the matter of Anding's merger into the Sili Lieutenant Department was fake, but he also knew that Pei Qing had checked this matter, how dare he have to deal with Pei Qing? Besides, even if he didn't care about Pei Qing's revenge in the future, Wei Yan had tens of thousands of troops on the surface.

At this time, Yang Qiu didn't expect that Ma Teng's intelligence network was wider than him, and he had already known about the serious shortage of food in Guanzhong, so he judged that Pei Qing would not be able to increase his troops, and with Ma Chao's current strength, it would not be difficult to deal with them at all.

However, at this moment, I saw a dull sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and on the distant horizon, a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up in the sky.

"Actually, it's really here?" Seeing this scene, Yang Qiu couldn't help but feel shaken in his heart, he really didn't expect this Ma Chao to really come back again, it seemed that he was still not as good as Wei Yan's judgment.

Then Yang Qiu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the alarm to be sounded, and at the same time ordered the soldiers defending the city to immediately go to the city to guard, and definitely not let Ma Chao's treacherous plan succeed.

Not long after, Ma Chao led his army to the city, but he did not attack immediately, but shouted loudly: "Yang Qiu, Wei Yanke is still in the city?" Quickly let him come to me. ”

After knowing the time of a meal, Wei Yan came to the city in a good time, and smiled at Ma Chao: "It turned out to be a young general, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, didn't you have retreated before?" Why did you come back again? ”

Ma Chao shouted loudly: "Good you Wei Yan! You obviously brought thousands of people, and you actually tied branches behind the horsetail to deceive me, so that I thought you brought tens of thousands of people, and the current stability still belongs to my Yongzhou, but you said that it has been assigned to the Sili School Captain's Department, where is the edict of the Son of Heaven? How dare you lie to me, and I will see through it today, what else can you say? If you know each other, obediently tie yourself up, surrender in Kaesong, and maybe spare your life, if not, you will definitely die without a place to bury! ”

Seeing this, Wei Yan sneered: "Surrender is not a simple matter, this matter needs to be discussed and discussed, can the young general give me a few days to think about it?" ”

Ma Chao nodded, and just wanted to agree, but when he saw Pang Shu on the side, he immediately said: "The young general must not fall for him, he is deliberately delaying time, in case there are any variables during this period, we will run this trip in vain, besides, the lord is very anxious about the siege of the city, and wants the young general to capture Linjing within three days, and completely control the entire Anding County within half a month, and after twenty days, he will attack Guo Yan's Wuwei with General Han." ”

Ma Chao suddenly woke up when he heard this, pointed at Wei Yan and said loudly: "Wei Yan'er, until this time, you still dare to cheat on me?" Give you a few days? You want to stall, don't you? Don't think about it, I'll give you a stick of incense at most time to think about it, if you don't agree to surrender after a stick of incense, I will immediately order the siege of the city, and after the city is broken, I will definitely order the slaughter of the city, so that the chickens and dogs in the city will not be left, all of this is thanks to you, even if they die, it is all caused by you. ”

Wei Yan laughed loudly when he heard this: "This is your usual trick Major General, right?" Since you have murderous intentions, even if I surrender, the people in the city will inevitably be slaughtered by you, so everything depends on you, not me Wei Yan, all we can do is to try our best to defend the city, so that you can't attack the city, only in this way can the people really get safe, so, you die, we will not surrender! ”

Ma Chao was furious and said to Wei Yan: "Hmph! In that case, then don't blame me for being rude, I will definitely fulfill my promise, you can wash your necks and wait to be killed. ”

"Wash your neck? That's fine, but I wonder if you give us time to wash our necks? There are tens of thousands of troops and 100,000 people in our city, and the wells are very limited, and if you line up one by one to wash your neck, it is estimated that it will take at least half a month......

"Shut up! At this time, you still dare to entertain me? When the city is broken, I will make you pay twice the price! ”

After Ma Chao said this, he immediately ordered the siege of the city.

Then I saw tens of thousands of troops like a tide, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Linjing City.

Yang Qiu and Wei Yan did not dare to slack off, and immediately led the army to defend, and suddenly saw that the two sides launched a fierce battle around Linjing City, and for a while, there was only the sound of clamour, shouting and killing, the sound of the impact of weapons, and the screams of the dying soldiers.

Although Ma Chao ordered the attack, this time it was really a bit hasty, because when he withdrew before, many bulky siege equipment could not be taken away, and he was burned, so this time the siege only brought some light siege equipment, although Ma Chao had the advantage of troops, it was impossible to break the city in the case of insufficient siege equipment, so although Ma Chao attacked the city for nearly two hours, the final result was that in addition to leaving two or three thousand corpses, no effect was achieved.

"Humph! I'll deal with you when I've built the siege engines, and we'll see you tomorrow!" Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and then prepared to build siege equipment.

However, when they returned to the camp, they were surprised to find that the trees around them had been cut down for miles, and that they would have to go farther to build siege equipment, and they would not be able to continue the siege tomorrow.

"Hmph, I didn't expect this Wei Yan to be so cunning, cutting down all the nearby trees, and actually letting you live one more day, but that's okay, I will definitely conquer Linjing City the day after tomorrow, and this is not a mistake in my father's order."

Ma Chao's heart was ruthless, and he ordered people to cut down trees in a distant place and build large siege equipment, preparing to attack the city the day after tomorrow.

At this time, Yang Qiu and Wei Yan were naturally not idle, they knew that this was a short calm before the storm was coming, and they had to seize this limited time to actively defend, so they also actively repaired the city defenses, repaired the equipment, and actively prepared for the battle.

The third day came quickly, and this time Ma Chao built many large-scale siege equipment, in addition to siege crossbows, watchtowers, and other things, even including behemoths such as wells.

Ma Chao relied on these sharp weapons, and he was even more invincible, and said with a sneer: "I'll give you one last chance, if it's not too late to surrender now, otherwise, today I will definitely let you leave the entire Linjing City chicken dog!" ”

However, he saw a feather arrow flying towards him with lightning speed, and if Ma Chao hadn't reacted fast enough, this arrow would have already hit his face.

Ma Chao looked at it angrily, only to see Wei Yan holding a curved bow and saying loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll wait until I die, what kind of ability do you have, just use it." ”

"Siege the city, siege the city, you must not kill Wei Yan after you break the city, you must capture him alive, I will personally cut him to death!" Ma Chao was furious and gave the order loudly.
