"If you dare to retreat from the battle, you will be killed without mercy."
A roar seemed to ring in his ears, drawing Ma Chao's gaze back into the battlefield.
Looking up, I happened to see a tall general leading a supervising team to snatch out from among the thieves.
Ma Chao saw the general rushing into the retreating defeated soldiers like a mad dog, roaring and slashing with his sword, followed closely by hundreds of soap-coated soldiers who were supervising the battle team.
The first few dozen soldiers who ran back did not die from the flying arrows of the Fufeng County soldiers, but died from the swords of their own people.
Ma Chao watched quietly: There is no ladder, the rush car is destroyed, and the thieves are still stranded under the city, isn't that their death in vain?
I saw the remaining soldiers being driven back to the city by the general to withstand the arrows, stones and boiling oil fired by the Fufeng County defenders.
Ma Chao shrugged and asked Ma Dai: "Does this kind of thing happen every time?"
"Yes, brother, that general is Li Kan.
According to the reports from the scouts, Li Kan is superb in martial arts, ferocious and unruly.
He often kills soldiers for fun, and many of his subordinates are dissatisfied."
Ma Dai suddenly felt dissatisfied when he saw Li Kan's behavior.
I couldn’t be more angry.
"Well, that's fine."
Ma Chao smiled, the light in his eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, the horn blew urgently from the city.
After killing many soldiers, Li Kan ordered the second wave of siege troops to attack, and the frightened thieves swarmed up like ants.
However, up to now, the fierce offensive and defensive battle has been going on for an hour.
Although the first wave of thieves maintained a sharp offensive, our own response has become more and more proficient.
The second wave of attacks was easily crushed.
The city was littered with dead and wounded, and the rebels tried to climb onto the city several times, but were met with desperate counterattacks by the defenders, and they were never able to secure their foothold for a moment.
After more than thirty repeated attacks, the siege thieves were exhausted both physically and mentally.
In the last half hour of the offensive, not even one person climbed onto the city.
They were repulsed directly under the city.
The flames under the city gradually extinguished, and there were still a few scattered flames dancing weakly, like will-o'-the-wisps, illuminating the dead faces and broken limbs of the soldiers under the city one by one. , the broken ring-headed knives and spears reflected the glimmer of light, and the gray-yellow city walls were mottled by the smoke and fire and the blood-spattered fighting.
As the flames extinguished one by one, everything faded into darkness.
And through the darkness in front of him, it seemed that he could still see the huge outline of the city wall, as well as the corpses covering the ground like fallen leaves above and below the city.
"Go back."
Ma Chao has seen too many deaths since he traveled through time, but this siege made him even more numb.
"Brother, you haven't met with uncle and others yet.
Is this true?"
Ma Dai naturally couldn't understand what Ma Chao was thinking.
He thought that this eldest brother came to the city to watch the battle in the middle of the night, but in the end left without saying a word.
It was really not like the eldest brother before. style.
"No need to say more, I already have a plan in mind."
Ma Chao didn't want to say more to Ma Dai, but seeing Ma Dai's sincere look, he couldn't help but add another sentence: "You will have to stay here for the rest of the night.
It’s worth it, but in my opinion, the enemy will not attack the city again, but if there is any change, remember to report to me tomorrow.”
"Nuo" Ma Dai has been assigned to Ma Chao by Ma Teng.
After hearing Ma Chao's order, he agreed.
Originally, Ma Chao wanted to leave, but when he glanced back unintentionally, Ma Chao paused for a while: Far below the city, Li Kan seemed to be angry and wanted to organize a third attack on the city.
However, he was persuaded by a man dressed as a scribe.
Since he was far away, Ma Chao could not see carefully, but the scribe seemed to only see With a few words, the irritable Li Kan calmed down and gave up the idea of attacking the city again.
Ma Chao looked intently at the man: At first glance, the man seemed to have no power, but the more he looked, the more unclear he became.
He seemed to be floating high into the sky.
Although he didn't hear what the man said, Ma Chao was deeply convinced that the man who had made Ma Teng and others so confused and miserable these days must be this man.

Only if there is such a person among the thieves, can the thieves have some strategies for attacking the city.
It is even more likely that it is because of this person, or the power behind this person, that the thieves can have enough food and grass to support them.
Now.
Although he didn't give people the impression of being as mysterious and ghostly as Jia Hu, nor as bright, resourceful, confident and proud as Meng Da, looking from a distance, Ma Chao felt that the man had an ethereal appearance that was peerless. .
"Dai'er, spend more time on that person.
If what I predict is correct, that person should come up with a plan tonight.
Remember to ask your father to be more careful."
Ma Chao already felt that his weak body could not withstand this.
The night wind was blowing, and after giving some hurried instructions, he asked Ma Dai to help him back to his room.
There has always been a shortage of counselors in Xiliang.
Who is that person and what is his relationship with Han Sui?
In his daze, Ma Chao seemed to have filtered through all the characters in his mind, but he could not remember any character in history. , and got very close to Han Sui.
Han Sui himself liked to use conspiracy tactics, but the main thing was that Han Sui's temperament was not very good, and compared to that of Boss Cao, he was even worse.
Therefore, there was almost no counselor around Han Sui like the one in the city.
From this, the identity of that person has become a mystery.
After thinking about it, Ma Chao still couldn't think of any number one person who could compete with that person.
Unfortunately, he was feeling sleepy, and as soon as his eyelids closed, he fell asleep again.
But before Ma Chao could sleep peacefully, he heard Ma Dai's somewhat excited voice ringing in his ears: "Brother, can you wake up?"
"What's the matter?"
Ma Chao opened his eyes and saw that it was already dimming outside the window, and Ma Dai looked tired.
He knew that he might have slept until dawn: "But there was another war last night."
Seeing Ma Dai's natural appearance as a general, Ma Chao guessed from Ma Dai's excited expression that something interesting to Ma Dai must have happened last night, so he ran away without even taking a rest.
Come and see yourself.
"As expected, the thieves launched another siege after midnight.
No, no, to be precise, it was a psychological battle."
Seeing Ma Chao's calm and unpredictable appearance, Ma Chao Dai couldn't help but admire his elder brother even more.
In fact, Ma Chao was so calm and calm, it was obvious that he had not woken up yet, and his mind was still too confused to react.
"War on the Heart" Now, when Ma Chao heard the words popping out of Ma Dai's mouth, he felt something interesting.
"Well, yes.
If my uncle and Uncle Pang hadn't spied on the enemy's plot, it's hard to say that Uncle Huang would have led the Xiliang cavalry out of the city for a decisive battle."
Speaking of last night's battle, Ma Dai's eyes lit up: "Later in the night , the enemy suddenly lit torches and wanted to The third siege was launched, and I woke up immediately.
I was about to fight, but I saw Uncle Pang holding Uncle Huang and refusing to let Uncle Huang fight.
Later, my uncle came and took one look at the enemy and gave the order.
No fighting allowed, let the soldiers sleep peacefully."
"Hmm" Ma Chao said incredulously: Ma Dai couldn't explain clearly, and Ma Chao was not at the scene, so he couldn't tell what was going on.
At this moment, a loud and friendly voice came from outside the door: "The thieves lit torches and made noises to march.
The momentum in the southeast and west was overwhelming, but there was no movement in the north.
They clearly wanted to fight a psychological battle.
Explore the reality of our army.”
Ma Chao turned around and looked happy: it was Ma Teng who was here:
