Han Sui, Ma Wan, and Cheng Gongying ascended to the city of Lufu and waited for Zhang Hengye's attack to succeed.

But the scene was depressing, just listening to the sound, Han Sui knew the result of this night raid, and closed his bloodshot eyes weakly and desperately.

Ma Yu said anxiously: "Lord, it seems that Jin Ma Chao has been prepared for a long time, and Zhang Heng has been defeated!" ”

Han Sui just sighed and didn't answer.

Ma Yu said anxiously: "It's better to send another department to rescue Zhang Heng, Jin Ma Chao may be focused on ambushing Zhang Heng, let's send troops to attack again, it's easy to succeed." ”

Han Sui was still silent.

Cheng Gongying said: "General Ma, don't think about it, since Jin Ma Chao is prepared, he will definitely have a back hand." Our army will divide another part to sneak attack, I am afraid that it is right in the middle of the game, feeding wolves with meat. ”

Ma Play became more anxious and said, "Huh? So what to do? Do you want to sit and watch the Xiliang Iron Cavalry capture Anmi City? ”

Cheng Gongying said: "It depends on Zhang Heng, if he still remembers the instructions of the lord, he will not lose Anmi City." But if he panics, it will be difficult to secure the city. Let's be prepared for a lonely city. Alas! In the end, Cheng Gongying couldn't help but sigh.

Han Sui suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of An Mi City again, watching Ma Dai lead the ambush soldiers, chasing Zhang Heng's remnants and defeating them.

In the end, seeing that An Micheng was still guarded by Zhang Heng, Han Sui spit out the turbidity in his chest and laughed happily: "Hahaha! The old man's Ammy City is still there! The old man's Ammy City is still there! ”

Cheng Gongying and Ma Wan also breathed a sigh of relief, and were glad for Zhang Heng's decision. The three of them didn't think that even if Anmi City didn't lose, they would be the losers.

Han Sui said with a smile: "Zhang Heng really did not live up to the trust of the old man, and he should be rewarded heavily!" ”

Han Sui said again: "Bo Ying, after this battle, the morale of our army is bound to fall to the bottom, what should we do?" ”

Cheng Gongying said: "Jin Ma Chao has been looking forward to our army going out of the city. Therefore, our army will not be able to hold out in the future. Jin Ma Chao attaches the most importance to the death and injury of soldiers, and will not easily risk heavy losses and come to attack the city on a large scale. So as long as we hold on for a few more days, the soldiers will gradually understand one thing: Jin Ma Chao does not dare to attack the city, and the morale of the soldiers will naturally rise. ”

Han Sui thought so.

…………………………………………………

In the next few days, Han Sui really couldn't hold out, and let Ma Chao use any tricks to lure him out of the city, and Lufu City and Anmi City did not move.

This made Ma Chao really a headache. Although Lufu City and Anmi City are only rammed earth walls, and the city walls are not high, they are more important in the defenders, and the least Anmi City also has 4,000 defenders, which is enough to hold the small Anmi City; Lufu City still hid from 30,000 enemy troops, and the city became stronger and larger.

While there were many defenders, Ma Chao did not have the ladder trucks, trebuchets, rammers and other equipment needed for the siege. Under such circumstances, he could do nothing but sneak into the city while the defenders were unprepared and the gates were open, and throw ropes on the walls so that the soldiers could climb them, or use rudimentary ladders to climb the city. The former method is no longer possible, because Han Sui and the others have learned the lesson of the fall of Leyun City; The latter two were bound to suffer heavy losses and were severely beaten by the defenders. Such an ending is not what Ma Chao wants to see.

For a few days in a row, he could only look at the city and sigh, Ma Dai was also anxious, and said: "Brother, just don't worry about it so much, let's suffer heavy losses, just attack the city directly!" ”

Ma Chao said calmly: "No." ”

Ma Dai said anxiously: "Why, brother? Now, if we don't capture the two cities earlier, time will pass slowly, and if Huangfu Song receives the news and attacks the land of Longyou, which is only garrisoned by 20,000 people, we will be trapped in the Hexi battlefield again, and we will not be rescued, then we will be finished! ”

Ma Chao sighed and said, "Such a simple reason, don't I know? But has Brother Dai thought about it? Han Sui's defenders were still numerous, and it was impossible for our army, which lacked siege equipment, to capture the city under the resistance of the defenders with siege equipment. ”

Ma Dai stopped complaining.

Ma Chao said again: "Thinking about the heavy losses of our army, Han Sui's soldiers did not suffer much losses. Han Sui's strength was already more than 18,000 cavalry, twice as large as our army. The reason why Han Sui did not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field was because he knew that the combat power of our army was far above it. But what about what if our army suffered heavy losses in a siege battle? Han Sui naturally had the strength to defeat our army in the field. Then I will be defeated. ”

Ma Dai woke up and said, "Brother is wise, it's my brother who is too anxious." ”

Ma Chao pondered for a moment and said, "At present, the only way to do this is to let the enemy army out of the city." In this way, the order went down, and ordered the troops to curse angrily under the two cities, to provoke the defenders, and see if they would fall for the trick and leave the city. ”

Ma Dai said: "Obey! ”

The people of Xiliang were already relatively vulgar, and after getting Ma Chao's order, they came to Anmi City and Lufu City one after another, and scolded Han Sui and Zhang Heng's ancestors for eighteen generations.

was scolded by a group of enemies, and Han Sui was not provoked. Because he held on for a few days, Ma Chao really did not dare to attack the city easily, as Cheng Gongying expected. Originally, the number of his troops was 34,000, and seeing that Ma Chao did not dare to attack the city, the morale of the fallen was slowly rising.

At this time, Ma Chao wanted to use the method of scolding and fighting to provoke him to go out of the city for a decisive battle, but he didn't know that this would make his soldiers hate the same enemy, but instead boost his own morale.

However, the scolding was so ugly that Ma Wan, Zhang Heng and other generals were filled with righteous indignation, and their anger made them want to open the city to fight.

Han Sui stopped the generals and said, "Our army is twice as numerous as the Xiliang army, why don't you scold back the same?" ”

So the defenders on Lufu City and Anmi City also ridiculed each other and scolded the Xiliang soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that the city wall couldn't accommodate too many people, the Xiliang soldiers would have a good voice, and the Xiliang soldiers would have been scolded and lost by the enemy army with a large number of superior numbers. The two armies just scolded to a draw. In the end, Han Sui and Zhang Heng didn't have to go out of the city to fight.

On this side, Liangzhou did not know that Ma Chao had led the army on a quiet expedition to Hexi, and was still carrying out reforms and recuperation in an orderly manner.

However, Tu Gehu and the evil people had already received Han Sui's information and began to move, gathering their troops, gathering cavalry, and secretly preparing to attack Liangzhou. The Lu Shuihu people had already felt the pressure of Tu Gehu and the Hun evil people, and reported to the Liangzhou Assassin Mansion and asked for troops to be sent to protect them.

Pang De, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Yang Fu and others who were in charge of garrisoning Liangzhou received information, and finally Ma Teng made the decision and first sent Yang Fu as the captain of Lu Shuihu to lead the cavalry of Lu Shuihu. Ma Teng decided to follow Ma Chao's strategy, first push Lu Shuihu in front of Tu Gehu and the evil people, and when Lu Shuihu's blood dried up, Tu Gehu also lost a lot and was exhausted, and then dispatched Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack him.
