Chapter 61: The Drums

Han Suijun chased very closely, and Han Sui saw that Ma Chao was really afraid of being chased and beaten by his army, so he had to turn around and fight him again. Han Sui immediately issued an order to turn around and flee, and Han Suijun, who was about to engage with Ma Chao's army in hand-to-hand combat, immediately reined in his war horse, and then shamelessly fled behind him.

As soon as he escaped two miles, Han Sui turned his head and saw that Ma Chaojun had also stopped, and it seemed that he was about to retreat. Han Sui was about to lead the army to post it immediately, but he saw that Ma Chaojun's movements were a little slow and sluggish this time, and he was suspicious. Instructed his subordinates to be vigilant, and then led his subordinates to paste them.

Ma Chaojun's movements were very slow, as if he had just finished stopping and turning the horse's head. Han Sui led the army to kill, but Ma Chao suddenly ordered his troops to immediately rush towards Han Sui's army. Han Sui had long known that Ma Chao had ulterior motives, and seeing that Ma Chao was pretending to retreat, in fact, he was luring him to come, so as to take advantage of the situation to meet in a short fight, Han Sui was so anxious that he shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

With Han Sui's reminder, the rebel soldiers all had more eyes, and when they heard Han Sui's shout, they saw Ma Chao straddle the horse with a gun, and the white robe flew over, so they immediately turned their horses' heads and withdrew behind them.

Ma Chaojun pounced and failed to catch up with Han Suijun. Han Sui chuckled, it seemed that his harassment really made Ma Chao unable to move. If Ma Chao was smart enough, he would know that if he continued like this, no matter how hard he struggled, it would be useless, and he would never be able to escape to rescue Ayang City and Wating.

Han Sui immediately led the army to stop, advancing and retreating three times twice, his 60,000 light cavalry and Ma Chao's 50,000 thousands of light cavalry galloped back and forth, rolling up a piece of wind and sand, so that Han Sui ate several mouthfuls of dust.

Han Sui had to squint his eyes, look behind him through the heavy dust, and see Ma Chaojun retreating again. Han Sui guessed that this time Ma Chao should learn to be obedient, and would not play the game of "you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance" with him again, but retreated to the camp to rest and recuperate, and then plan for the future.

When Han Sui led the army to catch up again, he only saw Ma Chaojun slowly entering the camp. In order to prevent him from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, Ma Chao personally supervised the army and postponed it. Han Sui originally wanted to take this opportunity to make a sneak attack, but seeing that Ma Chao was in the rear army, he knew that he would not be able to get any benefit in his hands, so he had to give up. Han Sui thought to himself, as long as Ma Chao was still firmly restrained by him, whether it was in the strong camp or outside the camp, it would make no difference to him.

Therefore, Han Sui ordered the army to build another camp five miles in front of Ma Chao's camp to facilitate the monitoring of Ma Chao. In case Ma Chao planned to flee from here again to pursue Cheng Gongying, he could also react quickly and intercept Ma Chao.

Han Sui watched as his soldiers quickly went to the woods not far away to cut down trees and set up a fortress that was even narrower than his Weishui camp. The soldiers were full of energy, because Han Sui passed on the word early, saying that as long as he could hold off Jin Ma Chao this time and make Cheng Gong Ying's department attack Ma Teng without distraction, he would definitely be able to completely defeat Jin Ma Chao. The soldiers had been defeated in every battle for several days, and they were all happy to hear Han Sui's promise.

The camp was established, and it was close to Ma Chao's camp, five miles away. Han Sui was very satisfied, this time Jin Ma Chao couldn't escape from his palm no matter what.

However, what made him a little irritated was that Ma Chao seemed to want to confuse him, and kept beating the drums, and the drums were still very chaotic and fast. Han Sui guessed that Ma Chao must have wanted to use the drum to scare him: the drum was the order to attack, and the non-stop drum sound meant that Ma Chao's army might rush out of the camp at any time and attack him.

Han Sui ordered his troops to closely monitor Ma Chao's camp, and even if he waited for him, he would never relax his surveillance of Ma Chao.

Little by little, the time passed, and soon it was evening. At this time, the drums in Ma Chao's barracks have been beating from one o'clock in the morning to now, and they have not stopped for a moment, but they have sounded quieter. Han Sui could feel from this that there were fewer drums that should be beaten. Han Sui felt suspicious in his heart, even if he was eager to save his father and was ready to attack the camp at any time, who would continue to beat the drum all the time? Not to mention that the drum can't withstand this long beating, and the strong man who beats the drum can't beat the drum for a long time, how can the body be able to eat?

Just as he was suspicious, the generals also felt a little strange and came to see him.

"What?" Han Sui asked.

Ma Yu said anxiously: "Lord, Ma Chaojun's drums have been beating non-stop, I'm afraid there is something strange." ”

"Well, I hear you." Han Sui replied lightly.

"It's better to give the last general 10,000 foot soldiers, and the last general will go to attack the camp and see what is going on." Yang Qiu said that he was good at commanding the infantry.

Han Sui was also a little moved, but after thinking about it again, he said, "No need. Since Ma Chao's drums are non-stop, it shows that he is still in the camp and has not left. It would be unwise for our army to attack a garrison of 50,000 men. ”

"But this drum is ......" Zhang Heng wanted to argue a few words, but Han Sui said: "Okay! When it was late at night, Ma Chaojun wanted to rest, so he would naturally stop drumming. ”

"Yes."

Han Sui and the other generals were gone, and he had no intention of sleeping under the sound of drums, so he walked out of the big tent and looked up at the bright moon. He watched as the moon in the night sky slowly moved from the east to the center of the night sky, and from the center to the west. The stars are changing, time flies, but the drums in Ma Chao's barracks have not stopped.

Han Sui was shocked to realize that it was already midnight, but the drums were still beating! Looking at his own soldiers, they didn't know the reason for the sound of the drums, and they wandered around the camp in a panic.

At that moment, Han Sui suddenly realized something, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Go and call the three generals! The old man wants to see them! ”

The herald ran immediately. Yang Qiu, Ma Wan and Zhang Heng rumbled because of the drums, and they didn't fall asleep, so they hurried over.

Han Sui said anxiously: "It's not a good thing! Quickly organize the soldiers and horses, and enter Ma Chao's camp with the old man! ”

"What?" The three generals were stunned, it was a camp garrisoned by 50,000 thousands of people, and it was built tall and strong, where could it be easily attacked? If you are not careful, it will lead to huge casualties, and it will be difficult to attack.

"Didn't you hear clearly! The old man wants you to wait for the camp! Han Sui said impatiently.

"But the lord ......"

"No, but, hurry up and sort out the soldiers and horses, it's too late and it's too late! Just go! ”

Under Han Sui's reprimand, the three generals hurriedly went to order 60,000 light horses. Han Sui was so anxious that he took three thousand guards first, and eagerly rushed to Ma Chaojun's camp.

Along the way, the moonlight sprinkled all over the land, and the vast loess plain, although a little dim, could still be seen clearly. It's just that the vast and flat terrain is equally conducive to the transmission of sound. The sound of the drum "dong dong dong" spread widely in the wilderness.

Han Sui's body also kept jumping as the war horse under his crotch moved. He gritted his teeth and stared at the stronghold where the strange sound of drums came from, hoping that his worst fears would not happen, and that he would rather suffer some casualties than to find out if his prophecy was unfortunate or if he was wrong.
