"Dare to retreat in battle, there is no mercy!"

An angry roar seemed to sound in his ears, pulling Ma Chao's gaze into the battlefield again.

When he looked up, he happened to see a tall general leading the overseer team out of the thieves. Ma Chao saw the general like a mad dog, not without pride, into the retreating defeated soldiers, roaring and brandishing the ring head knife and slashing, and hundreds of soap-clothed soldiers of the overseer team followed closely behind. The dozens of soldiers who ran back at the front did not die from the arrows of the Fufeng soldiers, but died under the swords of their own people.

Ma Chao watched quietly: Without the ladder, the car was destroyed, and those thieves continued to stay in the city, wouldn't that be in vain?

I saw the remnants of the soldiers being driven back to the city by the general, to bear the arrows, stones, and boiling oil of the defenders of Fufeng County. Ma Chao shrugged his shoulders and asked Ma Dai, "Does this kind of thing happen every time?" ”

"Yes, eldest brother, that general is Li Kan, listening to the reports of those scouts, Li Kan is excellent in martial arts, fierce and reckless, and often kills soldiers for fun, and his subordinates are not convinced." When Ma Dai saw Li Kan like that, he was suddenly angry.

"Hmm... That's it. Ma Chao smiled, the light in his eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, the horn under the city blew sharply, and after Li Kan hacked down many soldiers, he ordered the second wave of siege troops to attack, and those frightened thieves swarmed up like ants.

However, by now, the fierce offensive and defensive battles had been going on for some time, and although the first wave of thieves maintained a sharp attack, their own side became more and more proficient in their response. The second wave of the offensive was even more easily crushed. There were many dead and wounded in the city, and the thieves and soldiers landed in the city several times, but the defenders fought back desperately, and they never got a moment to hold.

After more than thirty repeated attacks, the besieging thieves were physically and mentally exhausted. In the last half hour of the offensive, there was not even a scene of one person landing the city, and he was repulsed directly under the city.

The flames under the city gradually went out, and there were still a few scattered flames that were beating faintly, like ghost fires, one by one illuminating the dead faces and severed limbs of the soldiers under the city, the broken swords and spears reflected the faint light, and the gray and yellow city walls were mottled with smoke and fire and blood splashing. As the flames went out one by one, it all disappeared into darkness.

Through the darkness in front of you, you can see the huge outline of the city wall, and the corpses that are scattered all over the ground like fallen leaves above and below the city.

"Let's go back......" Ma Chao has seen too much death since he crossed over, but this siege battle has made him even more numb.

"Big brother, you haven't met with the uncle and the others yet, isn't this ......." Ma Dai naturally couldn't understand Ma Chao's thoughts, thinking that this big brother went to the city in the middle of the night to watch the battle, but in the end he left without saying a word, which is really not like the previous style of the eldest brother.

"Needless to say, I have a plan in mind." Ma Chao didn't want to say more to Ma Dai, but when he saw Ma Dai's sincere look, he couldn't help but say more: "You still have to be on duty here in the second half of the night, but, in my opinion, the enemy will not come to attack the city again, but if there is any change, remember to come to me tomorrow to report." ”

"No!" Ma Dai has been assigned to Ma Chao by Ma Teng, and after listening to Ma Chao's order, he made a promise.

Originally, Ma Chao wanted to leave, but he had no intention of glancing back, but Ma Chao paused for a while:

I saw that in the distance under the city, Li Kan seemed to be annoyed and angry, and wanted to organize a third siege again, but he was persuaded by a person dressed as a scribe, because of the distance, Ma Chao didn't look carefully, but saw that the scribe seemed to see only a few words, which calmed down the irritable Li Kan and dispelled the idea of attacking the city again.

Ma Chao looked at the man fixedly: at first glance, the man didn't seem to have any power, but the more he looked, the more he felt that he couldn't see clearly, couldn't see through, and seemed to be floating high into the sky. Although he didn't hear that person speak, Ma Chao had deeply determined that the person who had made Ma Teng and others clumsy and embarrassed these days must be this person.

Only if there is such a person among the thieves, it is possible to make those thieves attack the city in some order, and even, it is more likely that because of this person, or the power behind this person, it is possible to make these thieves have enough food and grass to support until now.

He gives people the feeling that although he is not as mysterious and ghostly as Jia Fox, nor is he as bright and resourceful, confident and proud as Meng Da, but from a distance, Ma Chao feels that that person has a kind of ethereal posture.

"Dai'er, spend more time on that person, if what I expected is good, tonight, that person should come up with a plan, remember to let my father take more precautions." Ma Chao already felt that his weak body couldn't withstand the night wind at this time, and after hurriedly commanding, he asked Ma Dai to help him back to the room.

'Xiliang has always been short of advisers, who is that person? What does it have to do with Han Sui? In a drowsy state, Ma Chao seemed to filter all the characters in his mind, but he couldn't remember any figure in history who was very close to Han Sui.

Han Sui himself likes to play conspiracy, but the main thing is that Han Sui's strength is not good, and compared with that Boss Cao, it is even worse than a few floors. Therefore, there is hardly a strategist like the one in the city around Han Sui. As a result, the identity of that person has become a mystery.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao never remembered that any number one person could match that person, but his brain was sleepy, and as soon as his eyelids were closed, he fell asleep again.

But before Ma Chao could sleep peacefully, he heard Ma Dai's somewhat excited voice ringing in his ears:

"Big brother, can you wake up?"

"What?" Ma Chao opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawning outside the window, and Ma Dai looked tired, knowing that he might have slept until dawn: "But there was a war last night?" ”

Seeing that Ma Dai was born with the appearance of a general, Ma Chao guessed from Ma Dai's excited expression that something must have happened last night that interested Ma Dai, so he didn't even rest, but came to see him.

As the eldest brother expected, the thieves really launched another siege battle after midnight. No, no, to be precise, it's a battle of hearts. Seeing Ma Chao's calm and unpredictable appearance, Ma Dai couldn't help but worship his eldest brother a little more.

In fact, where is Ma Chao not shocked? It's clear that I haven't woken up yet, and my brain is still confused and I haven't reacted.

"Heart-to-heart warfare?" Now, hearing the words that popped out of Ma Dai's mouth, Ma Chao also felt a little interesting.

"Well, yes. If it weren't for Uncle Pang and Uncle Pang to peek into the enemy's tricks, Uncle Huang would have to take Xiliang Tie out of the city for a decisive battle! Speaking of last night's battle, Ma Dai's eyes lit up: "In the second half of the night, the enemy suddenly lit torches and wanted to launch the third siege battle, I also woke up immediately, and was about to engage in battle, but I saw Uncle Pang holding Uncle Huang and insisting on not letting Uncle Huang fight, and then the uncle came, and after taking a look at the enemy, he ordered that the soldiers should not be allowed to engage in battle, so that the soldiers could sleep peacefully......"

"Hmm......" Ma Chao hesitated: This Ma Dai couldn't speak clearly, and Ma Chao was not at the scene, so he couldn't hear what was going on.

And at this moment, a loud and friendly voice came from outside the door: "The thieves lit torches and marched noisily, and the south, east and west were all shaking the sky, but there was no movement in the north, clearly wanting to fight a battle to explore the reality of our army." ”

Ma Chao turned his head and looked happy: it was actually Ma Teng who came......
