Chapter 62: The Goat and the Drum

As the distance got closer, Han Sui's heart beat faster. Because the 3,000 horsemen he led, and the 60,000 horsemen after him, were no more than a few hundred paces away from Ma Chao's camp. For cavalry, it will soon be within range of bows and arrows. It stands to reason that in order to prevent a night attack, Ma Chaojun will definitely rise up and resist, arrange a large team of crossbowmen on the wall, and reorganize the rest of the troops to prepare for a defensive battle.

But Han Sui took the lead, and he had already entered the range of bows and arrows, and he could see the camp of Ma Chao's army clearly. The camp of Ma Chaojun was brightly lit, and there were many figures on the wall. But there was no sound in Ma Chaojun's camp except for the sound of drums. Han Sui was shocked, could it be that his conjecture was unfortunate?

But Han Sui still had a fluke mentality at this time, thinking that it might be that Ma Chao deliberately used a false plan to lure him to the camp. Han Sui secretly thought that Ma Chao was treacherous, and maybe this was a false plan. So he planned to fight hard, even if he lost his troops and generals, it would not be a pity.

Han Sui gritted his teeth, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and led the army to rush towards the Ma Chao military camp. When he got closer, he could see the enemy camp clearly, but Han Sui almost passed out from his horse. Because when he got to the gate and looked up, it turned out that the figure of the walled wall he saw from a distance turned out to be a straw man! What this means, Han Sui knows very well.

Han Sui was stunned on the spot. Yang Qiu and the others hurriedly surrounded them, and they also knew that Ma Chaojun was definitely not in the camp at this time, and said, "Lord, Ma Chao led the troops and fled." ”

"Alas! Let the horses run away again! Zhang Heng spat and said angrily.

Ma Yu exclaimed: "Aren't Mr. Cheng Gong and Yan Xing dangerous?" ”

Han Sui was silent. Han Sui closed his eyes unwillingly at this time. The drum beat of "Knock Knock" was still ringing, but Han Sui couldn't hear it, and his brain was going blank. Ma Chao has already abandoned the camp and fled, there is no doubt about it. With the variable of Jin Ma Chao's design to escape, Han Sui began to worry about whether Cheng Gongying could successfully complete the task of sneaking up on Ma Teng and capturing Wating. Maybe Cheng Gongying and others, who are not as wise as Jin Ma Chao, will be defeated by Ma Chao.

The feeling of remorse gradually came to his heart, Han Sui really regretted it, why didn't he surround Ma Chao's camp on all sides during the day? In the final analysis, it was his 80,000 troops that were not enough to surround 50,000 thousands of horsemen, and it was his negligence that allowed him to let his horse slip away super safely.

"Lord, what can I do now?" Yang Qiu asked.

Han Sui came back to his senses and heard the rumbling drums still coming from Ma Chao's camp, and said angrily: "Go into the camp!" The old man wants to see that this brocade horse has clearly led the army to withdraw, how did he make the drumming? Could it be that this Jin Ma Chao will leave a few unlucky ghosts to beat the drums in the camp? ”

"The lord is right, and Ma Chao retreated in a hurry, and he must not have time to take away the military materials looted from our military camp. There was no smoke in his barracks, and he must have not burned it down. Our army can also get back those military funds. ”

As he spoke, Han Sui ordered the sergeants to open the door. Han Sui rushed in impatiently, he wanted to see how Ma Chao kept the drums beating. Because it was all the drumming that confused him and made him mistakenly think that Ma Chao was still in the camp.

As soon as they entered the camp, Han Sui, Yang Qiu, Ma Wan, Zhang Heng and all the rebel soldiers were stunned. I saw that under the illumination of the moonlight, Ma Chao's camp was empty, and there were dozens of big drums in the middle; In front of the big drum, there is also a bracket, which is as high as the big drum; In front of each drum and on each stand is tied a goat with a rope; The goats were hung from brackets and drums, and had to struggle and kick desperately; With this kick, the goat's hind hooves hit the drum: that's why the drum keeps beating.

Seeing Han Sui and others rushing in, the goats thought they were saved, and they "bleated" vigorously, and there was a sudden sound of sheep in the camp.

Han Sui and the others were petrified on the spot. It turned out that it was only a few dozen goats that scared them to stop?! Surprise, regret, humiliation, anger, adoration, fear...... The rebel soldiers were filled with emotion.

When Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng and Ma Yu were stunned, a figure fell in front of them, and when the three of them saw it, it was Han Sui who fell off the horse and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The three of them hurriedly dismounted and helped Han Sui up. "Lord, are you alright?"

Han Sui didn't answer, but left the three of them and ran towards those big drums alone as if crazy. Running to the nearest big drum, Han Sui glanced at it hatefully, and his heart was extremely angry, it was such a simple plan to easily deceive him. Han Sui didn't want to believe it, he immediately quickened his pace, walked between the drums, and saw that each drum was struck with sheep tied high, and one of his hearts seemed to be roasted on a fire.

As he walked under a large drum, he looked up and saw a sheep bleating at him. But Han Sui was furious, and the goat suddenly turned into a smiling face in his eyes. The bleating of the sheep penetrated into his brain and was also imagined as Jinmachao's wanton laughter.

Han Sui was shocked when he saw that it was actually Jin Ma Chao, and he ran away, he wanted to escape Jin Ma Chao's ridicule. But when he ran between dozens of drums, the sheep on both drums were like street lamps, and when he ran closer, the two closest sheep on both sides would automatically transform into the smiling faces of Jin Ma Chao. The more Han Sui saw it, the more frightened he became, and he ran for his life. Han Sui was tired of running, so he stopped. He looked around, and all the sheep were transformed into Jinma Chao. Countless Jin Ma Chao's smiling faces were facing him, and the laughter was full of mockery. Han Sui's eyes widened, sweating all over his body, his heart beat faster, his breathing was short, and then he lost his mind and passed out.

When Han Sui woke up, he opened his eyes slightly, and the three faces of Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng and Ma Wan came into view.

"Lord, you are awake." The three were relieved.

Han Sui slowly sat up from the couch with the support of the three of them. Han Sui stroked his forehead and said weakly: "Water, water......"

Zhang Heng hurriedly brought the water over. After drinking the water, Han Sui sobered up a little and looked around, it was his big tent, and the sunlight projected a pillar of light from outside the curtain.

Han Sui sighed, it was already daytime, it seemed that he had been in a coma for too long, and Ma Chao didn't know where he had chased him now.

Han Sui asked, "How many days has the old man been in a coma?" How did you fall into a coma? ”

"Just one day."

"Lord, you forgot, you suddenly fell into a coma after looking at the goats and drums left by Ma Chao."

Han Sui suddenly realized and remembered the events of last night. Looking back now, it turned out that he was too angry at the time, so he saw those goats as Ma Chao's smiling face, and heard the sheep's cry as Ma Chao's mockery of him.
