Chapter 396: Ma Chao deceived the door

Yan Xing persuaded Han Sui to just repeat that the Wei Xuan army was strong, the generals were like clouds, the strategists were like rain, and several main generals knew the art of war before the father and son of the family were easily controlled by Wei Xuan, and then used the father and son of the family to dig pits for Yan Xing and others, and let Han Sui gather the young and strong people of the various tribes in front of him, and then annihilate them in a battle, resulting in the Qiang people that Han Sui relied on could not form combat power at all within three or five years. So much so that Han Sui had to face Wei Xuan's purge alone in the next few years.

Han Sui looked at his once high-spirited son-in-law, and now when he talked about the fear and admiration on Wei Xuan's face, Han Sui knew that his son-in-law, who had once wanted to dominate Liangzhou, was afraid that he would not be able to find it back, and he and his son might lose a big arm forever. Sure enough, seeing that he persuaded Han Sui not to move, Yan Xing proposed to go out of the city to inform Wei Xuan of the result, on the grounds that his parents were still in Wei Xuan's hands, and if he couldn't get out of the city in time, his family might be affected.

What made Han Sui even more depressed was that Yan Xing left in a hurry without proposing to take his daughter Han Ying out of the city together, although he would definitely not agree, but this also proved Yan Xing's fear and ???????????????? for Wei Xuan Han Sui's lack of self-confidence stimulated Han Sui again, and he fled to see how Wei Xuan could break through this Yunwu City with so many strange soldiers.

However, Han Sui did not stop it, since the people's hearts are no longer here, it is still a disaster to forcibly stay, seeing Yan Xing leave, Han Sui felt an indescribable loss in his heart. He didn't know if he had missed another chance to make peace with Wei. He didn't regret not agreeing to Yan Xing's persuasion. If he really wants to say that he regrets it, he shouldn't believe in the father and son of the family, if he now has forty or fifty thousand soldiers in hand, why should he be afraid of the seventy or eighty thousand people who came from the original way of Wei Xuan? If you have 50,000 people to defend the city, and then the cavalry of the Qiang tribe does not need to come here but harass Wei Xuan's grain route from afar, I am afraid that Wei Xuan will return home in less than a month, but unfortunately everything is late. Damn the father and son!

The next day, the situation of Wei Xuan's offensive really changed, Zhang Jibu moved to the north gate, the east gate was empty, and the south gate was still Tai Shici, but a large number of ladders had been prepared to climb the city. Han Sui thought that Wei Xuanwei was missing three things, thinking that he couldn't withstand the pressure and fled from the east gate, and then ambushed outside the east gate, but what Han Sui didn't expect was that the direction of the lord today turned out to be the west gate.

Ximen Zhang Liao led the heavy cavalry gathered by Tai Shici and Zhao Yunbu and the five thousand heavy cavalry of the headquarters to press the formation on both flanks, and from time to time came to shoot a needle. In the middle, Dian Wei and Xu Chu are in the back, and Gao Shun is in the front! These more than 7,000 infantry are the most elite in the whole army, except for the heavy infantry weapons are inferior to the Modao, the rest of the equipment and the quality of the soldiers are the best in the whole army. As long as those who are familiar with Wei Xuan know that this is the main battlefield today, Wei Xuan must also make up his mind to attack.

The first to attack was still Tai Shici at the south gate, this time it was different from the first day, along with the heavy infantry there were also a large number of infantry carrying the ladder, they quickly came to the city wall under the cover of the divine arm archers and locked the ladder on the battlement of the city wall, and then four or five people hugged the ladder, so the heavy Mo knife had been abandoned and carried a horizontal knife.

Han Sui quickly discovered the problem, because the number of divine arm archers at the south gate today seems to have decreased a lot, if according to this intensity, the direction of the lord is like this, it will definitely be no problem for him to hold on for three or five days, as long as he withstands Wei Xuan's crazy attack in the previous few days, it is impossible to say that Wei Xuan will let go, and when the time comes, he may be able to leave some soldiers and horses.

When Han Sui was thinking about why he didn't attack directly, Simon Sima came to report that Ximen's attack was fierce and asked for support.

Han Sui was taken aback, he put 4,000 people at the northeast and west gates, 6,000 at the south gate, and the rest except for the cavalry, the infantry was used as a reserve and reserve. Even if the 4,000 people are divided into two groups, it is impossible for one group of 2,000 people to be unable to withstand it so quickly. You must know that the news he got before was that the south gate took the lead in attacking, and the west gate couldn't stand it as soon as the war started.

So Han Sui handed over the command of the South Gate to his subordinates, and on the one hand ordered to send additional reserves to the West Gate, and on the other hand rushed to the West Gate in person.

When he arrived at the West Gate, he found that something was wrong, because Wei Xuan's handsome banner was also here, and the general banner of Zhang Liao, the first general under his command, was also here, and at the same time, there was also Zhao Yun's general flag in the distance. It turns out that Simon is the focus of the attack?

Look beyond the city walls, except for those ???????????????? Lying on the ladder and holding the ladder and standing in front of the archers with shields, the attacking infantry did not have the iron armor of the ship, Han Sui absolutely did not believe that the soldiers under Wei Xuan had no armor, and looked at the heavy cavalry next to him who were shooting could completely exchange the armor for these infantry.

The only explanation for these people is that they don't need it, and the chance encounters that don't need it are also sufficient, and that is the need to climb the city walls. Almost every breath, Han Sui could see the heads of people emerging from outside the city wall, and they climbed the city wall very calmly under the cover of their companions to fight with Han Sui's soldiers, who also had no armor. Han Sui quickly understood why Sima said that the battle was very frustrating, to be precise, his side needed two or three people to block an enemy who climbed up. And there were at least 7,000 infantry, and more than 10,000 shots at both ends of the city wall. Four thousand people is really difficult to hold for a long time.

There are probably more than 30 ladders erected on the entire West Gate city wall, and now there are four or five hundred people standing on the city wall, and of course there are about 100 people who have been hacked to death by their own side. But Han Sui did not hesitate to line up in reserve, he knew that he had to take the enemy off the city wall as soon as possible. Otherwise, just wait until the enemy occupies half of the city wall, and the only thing that awaits him is a rout.

Soon Han Sui found out that this was indeed a carefully prepared attack by the enemy, and after the light infantry continued to gain a foothold on the city wall, some heavily armored infantry also appeared on the city wall, and as soon as they appeared, they immediately caused a commotion among the defenders, because it was obvious that on the flat city wall, these heavy infantry were difficult to repel with ordinary swords and arrows. Wei Xuan is determined to fight to the death!

Under the persuasion of his own soldiers, Han Sui had already retreated to the city, and he ordered to draw 2,000 men from the east gate to support the west gate, and then let those Qiang people who fled into the city dismount and prepare to go to the west gate to participate in the battle.

At this moment, the young Zhuang of the Qiang nationality also knew that in the past ten days, Wei Xuan's troops had looted the Qiang people's residence, and the losses must have been heavy. Now they can only rely on Han Sui, Han Sui has an order, and they have to give up the advantage of war horses, take the big sword, and prepare to enter the city. Only the army that held the city and the imperial court would retreat, and they would have a chance to return to the tribe.

It's just that the speed of his own losses is beyond Han Sui's imagination. In just half an hour, the 4,000 people originally arranged at the West Gate had already taken turns to play, and the 3,000 infantry and more than 5,000 Qiang young men who were later dispatched were also piled up at the West Gate. However, with the walls suppressed, the archers of the defenders were no longer useful, and they retreated to the city and fired blindly, but in this way, the range advantage of the Divine Arm Bow was fully exploited.

So much so that there were a large number of casualties on the city walls and inside the city. According to Han Sui's estimate, according to this offensive intensity, he can't withstand it for two hours, and now it depends on whether Wei Xuan is determined to take Yunwu in one fell swoop.

Just when Han Sui was thinking about whether to send all the soldiers stationed in the treasury to the West Gate for the final gamble, Sima from the East Gate hurriedly came and whispered in Han Sui's ear for a while.

Han Sui frowned, then fell into deep thought, then stood up and explained a few words before following Na Sima towards the east gate.

When Han Sui climbed the city wall of the East Gate, he saw a cavalry team of about 10,000 people parked in the distance,???????????????? Han Sui fixed his eyes and saw that it was not his brother Ma Teng, but Ma Teng's son Ma Chao.

Han Sui has an opinion about Ma Teng's late arrival, but it's better to be late than never, maybe Ma Teng is also worried that Wei Xuan will turn to clean up Ma Teng after cleaning up the father and son, especially at this critical moment, although Ma Chao does not have as rich combat experience as his father, he is invincible in bravery, and he seems to have more combat effectiveness than his son-in-law Yan Xing.

Han Sui thought that if Ximen, who had fought fiercely, let Ma Chao lead a wave of people to counterattack, he would really be able to defeat the Wei Xuanjun who had climbed the city wall.

Seeing Ma Chao, Han Sui thought of Yan Xing again, and yesterday he didn't feel that there was any loss in letting Yan Xing go, but now Han Sui hated Yan Xing even more, because if Yan Xing appeared in the west gate with Ma Chao in the city now, the chances of counterattacking would definitely increase exponentially, thinking that his son-in-law was not as good as the son of a nominal brother, Han Sui felt really uncomfortable.

Han Sui was thinking wildly, Ma Chao had already come to the city gate, sat on the war horse, and shouted to Han Sui on the city wall: "The little nephew encountered too many scouts and harassed me on the road, and my aunt was late, please ask my uncle to instruct, should I go to the south gate to drive the attacking imperial court soldiers and horses, or go to the north gate?" ”

Although Han Sui was late in his heart, he still smiled on the surface and said: "Virtuous nephew has worked hard all the way, hurry up and go into the city to rest, and there will be a chance for you to show your skills." ”

Ma Chao scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression: "Uncle, all the little nephews brought are cavalry, I'm afraid it won't help you when you go to the city?" It's better to stay outside the city and contain the enemy. ”

Han Suixin said that you have 10,000 people, and there are 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry outside the city, and if you stay outside the city, you will be scared away sooner or later. I'll trick you into the city first, and then we can run together even if we want to run. But his face was very kind and said: "No, no, the virtuous nephew came from afar to participate in the war directly, he must go to the city to have a good rest, needless to say, the old man will let people prepare wine and food." ”

Ma Chao nodded helplessly: "Then listen to my uncle's arrangement, it just so happens that the brothers are tired of running for stocks, so it's time to take a good rest." ”
