Golden City.

At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, however, there was a tragic siege battle taking place above and below the city wall, and there were constantly attacking sergeants climbing up the wooden ladder to climb the city wall and fighting with the soldiers of the Ma family army defending the city, and from time to time there were sergeants who fell down from the city wall and wooden ladders and died.

The shouts of killing were heard from far away on the city wall, and the drums of Han Sui's army outside the city never stopped, and the soldiers could only keep attacking.

This siege battle has been fought for eight consecutive days, and the Ma family army in the city is on the verge of collapse, the materials for defending the city have almost been exhausted, and the casualties of the sergeants are very large.

The situation of Han Sui's army outside the city was not very good, although they were the attackers and held the initiative, but since ancient times, siege warfare has been a last resort.

In the past eight days, Han Sui's soldiers and horses have suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and many large pits have to be dug every day to bury the corpses.

"Work harder, let the soldiers step in, Ma Yi can't parry it!" While observing the battle, Han Sui gave the order.

As a result, the attack of the besieging army was a little more fierce, and the defenders' defense was crumbling, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Until dusk, Han Sui's army still failed to break through the defense line of the city wall, and Han Sui could only order to withdraw back to the camp and fight again tomorrow.

The army slowly retreated, and the last rays of sunlight disappeared from the horizon.

Han Suijun camp.

In an inconspicuous tent, Huangfu Li was reading a book when a middle-aged man walked in and hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Huangfu! ”

Huangfu Li raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

Huangfu Li was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”

"Just the news I received just now, Han Sui definitely doesn't know yet!" The middle-aged man swore and said.

Huangfu Li stood up and paced inside the tent, thinking about what to do next.

After half a cup of tea, Huangfu Li immediately whispered to the middle-aged man: "Clean up and prepare to evacuate!" ”

The middle-aged man immediately said: "Understand, as long as you leave the camp and someone outside answers, the villain will go and prepare!" ”

"Okay, let's meet here in a moment!"

After Huangfu Li and other middle-aged men left, he immediately returned to the bookcase to sharpen the ink, polished the ink, he took the pen and dipped it in ink and pondered for a while and began to write hard, and after a while, he wrote a letter, and after writing it, he pressed it with a paperweight, and then he got up and put on a piece of armor, and then put a long sword on his waist.

"Sir, you can go!" The middle-aged man walked in and whispered.

"Put this armor on!"

"No!"

The two put on their armor and walked out of the camp tent, pretending to be the Xiliang army armor soldiers walking in the camp, and the patrolling Xiliang army sergeants did not interrogate them when they saw them.

In this way, the two came to a wall at the edge of the camp, where there was a drainage canal, and they went out of the drainage ditch one after the other, and soon disappeared into the night.

After a stick of incense, the two came to a mound, the middle-aged man whistled, and four strong men walked out with six horses.

"I've seen my brother!" A strong man clenched his fist at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man immediately said: "Without further ado, hurry up and get on the horse and go, if it is late, I am afraid that I will be overtaken!" ”

So the six of them mounted their horses and galloped all the way to the east.

In the big tent of Han Sui's army, Han Sui frowned.

Yan walked in and hugged his fists and said, "Lord, the casualties of our army in the siege of the city these days are too great, do you want to hold off for two days and let the soldiers rest and recuperate before attacking?" ”

"No, we must take Jincheng in one go!"

Han Sui turned to look at Yan Xing and said: "Now I don't know how the battle between Qin Feng and Ma Teng is, so I should hurry up the time to break through the Golden City, only by taking the Golden City, no matter whether Ma Teng wins or loses, he will definitely become a lost dog, and if he wants to fight with the old man, he will lose his qualifications!" ”

Yan Xing said: "The lord's concerns are indeed reasonable, but now that we have been attacking the city for eight days, the defense of the city wall has not moved at all, and the casualties are so great that many of the soldiers have become war-weary, and their morale is a little low, and continuing to fight will only increase the casualties!" ”

This is also a fact, it is not Yan Xing's nonsense, Han Sui also knows this very well, he thought of Huangfu Li at this time, and thought that this person has a lot of tracks, maybe there will be some good plans, so he ordered: "Come on, go and invite Mr. Huangfu!" ”

"No!"

It didn't take long for the soldiers to walk in from outside and report: "My lord, Mr. Huangfu and his entourage are not in the tent, the villain has searched the camp but has not found it, and he has found a letter to the lord on his bookcase!" ”

"Oh?" Han Sui was quite surprised, but he noticed that something was wrong, and immediately said, "Take it quickly!" ”

The soldier handed the letter to him.

Han Sui took it and immediately looked at it, Huangfu Li left a message in the letter, saying that he had just received the news, Qin Feng and Ma Teng had ceased to fight, Ma Teng had led the army back to Jincheng three days ago, and according to the speed of the march, there should be two days to arrive.

Seeing this, Han Sui realized that he had been fooled, fell into Huangfu Li's scheme, and was provoked by Huangfu Li to sow his relationship with Ma Teng.

Thinking of this, Han Sui immediately ordered Yan Xing: "Huangfu Li has run away, but he shouldn't have run far yet, quickly lead someone to chase him and chase him back!" ”

"No!" Yan Xing clenched his fists and agreed, immediately turned around and set up some men and horses to go out of the camp and chase after him to the east.

However, this black light is blinding, it is pitch black outside, and I can't see it clearly, so it's a matter of whether I can catch up.

After Yan left, Han Sui immediately read the second half of the letter, and after the visit, he was thoughtful, and Huangfu Li gave him a trick in the second half of the letter to deal with the situation of Ma Teng's return with the army.

Yan Xing led people to chase after twenty or thirty miles, and still did not see the shadow of Huangfu Li, so he could only lead the army back.

"Lord, the last general is incompetent and has failed to catch up with Huangfu Li and his party!"

Han Sui waved his hand: "Huangfu Li, this person has some schemes, he is a rare talent, the old man is a cherished talent, so he asked you to chase him back, since he has the heart to leave, he must not be able to catch up!" Since you can't catch up, forget it, you come here, and you'll be like this later······"

Yan Xing was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this is okay?

"Remember?"

"Remember!"

"Go get ready!"

"No!"

In the middle of the night, the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun who were sleeping on the wall of Jincheng were awakened by the sound of fighting outside the city, and everyone stood up one by one and stretched their necks to look in the direction of Han Suijun's military camp.

I saw that the Han Sui army camp was on fire everywhere, and it seemed that a group of men and horses were rampage in the camp, and countless Han Sui troops were scurrying around.

"Han Suijun's camp has been attacked, go and report to the general!" One of the lieutenants shouted.

At this time, a voice came: "No need, so-and-so is here!" ”
