Chapter 352 This set again?

Although he was very unwilling, after seeing Liu He's army arriving, Ma Chao had no choice but to announce his retreat. However, after his army retreated more than ten miles away, he discovered that although the enemy soldiers' shouts of killing shook the sky, there was still no I found that half of the enemy soldiers were catching up.

"Nephew, it seems that we have fallen for the trick. This time, it is definitely not Liu He's main army that came to support, but a small army. However, there is a smart man in this small army. Liu He's banner is deliberately creating momentum, making us think that Liu He's main force is coming to help, scaring us away so that he can enter the city for support." Han Sui slowly came to Ma Chao and said softly .

"Until now, my nephew just woke up like a dream. Alas, I really didn't expect that we were deceived by an unknown person, and I didn't expect that Liu He's subordinates were all shameless people who only knew how to deceive people. If this is the case, then we immediately Lead the army to fight back, no matter what price you pay, you must break Lintao City, and kill all the troops and people in the city. Hmph, those troops should be killed, but the untouchables in the city should also be killed, if it is not for them Help, I guess this city has been taken by us long ago." Ma Chao gritted his teeth in hatred and said loudly.

But Han Sui waved his hand and said: "Now the soldiers are exhausted, let's set up camp here first, rest for one night, and wait until early tomorrow morning to attack the city."

"Alright, I'll follow Uncle." Ma Chao saw that it was getting late, and the soldiers had fought hard for a day without grain of rice. It was really hard work. It would be difficult to fight immediately, so he nodded and agreed with Han Sui. suggestion.

So the army set up camp on the spot, rested and reorganized, and waited for the dawn of the next day to launch a general attack on Lintao City.

Han Sui's judgment was not wrong. The people who assisted Yang Fu this time were indeed only a small number of troops. They were [-] soldiers led by Wang Yi, the prefect of Tianshui.

In fact, according to the previous agreement, Wang Yi should have been transferred to Chang'an long ago. However, because of the people's efforts to persuade him to stay, Wang Yi couldn't bear it, so he wrote to Liu He and asked to delay his return for a year. Liu He understood Wang Yi and the local people very well. The people immediately agreed and praised Wang Yi's conduct.

However, he did not expect that not long after, Wang Yi heard the news that Ma Chao and Han Sui led their troops to attack Lintao. Although Lintao belonged to Longxi County and was not under the jurisdiction of Tianshui County, NetEase deeply understood Chen Muzhihan also knew that both Lintao and Tianshui were the territory of her lord Liu He, and they must not be allowed to invade at will, especially warlords such as Han Sui and Ma Chao who had left a bad name in the local area.

So as soon as he received the news, Wang Yi dispersed his property, recruited soldiers, and rushed to Lintao City.

But after all, she is only a civil servant and has not been awarded a military post. In addition, after repeated battles in Tianshui County, the economy is now sluggish, and the labor force is seriously insufficient. There are very few soldiers who join the army. Wealthy families enlist in the army, and most of the labor force is relatively abundant. In fact, most of them refer to families with two males in the family. In such families, after someone enlists in the army, only one elderly father remains. only male workforce
It was also thanks to Wang Yi's high prestige here, otherwise even these people would not have been able to be recruited.

And these 3000 men and horses rushed to the front line after only three to five days of emergency training, so they could only barely ride horses.

Because of this, Wang Yi knew that relying on her small number of troops was not enough to pose any threat to Ma Chao, but would lead to death, so she had an idea and sent troops to rush to stop Liu He's attack, beating Liu He The banner went to support, and ordered the sergeant to tie branches behind the horses, and ran quickly on the road. The huge smoke and dust rolled up by the horses made the enemy mistakenly think that a large number of soldiers and horses came to support.

Wang Yi's method really deceived Han Sui and Ma Chao. They were already frightened and fled without a fight. It was not until Wang Yi's army entered the city that Han Sui finally reacted, but by this time it was already too late. I believe that if he goes back at this time, the opponent must be prepared, and the loss outweighs the gain, so Han Sui decided to wait until the next day to launch an attack.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Chao and Han Sui led the army to launch another fierce attack on Lintao City, and this time the attack was completely different from the previous ones. All the soldiers fell into a frenzy, mainly because Ma Chao An order was issued that whoever was the first to climb the city wall would be awarded the Marquis of Guannei. At the same time, after breaking the city, the soldiers were allowed to plunder freely for three days, whether it was jade or women, no matter how much they robbed, All belong to the snatcher.

After hearing such an order, the soldiers naturally looked like crazy tigers, and their morale and combat power were rising rapidly.

However, the pressure in the city at this time was much lighter than yesterday. This was naturally the ancient time when the three thousand soldiers brought by Wang Yi participated in the exhibition.

Although these soldiers have not received systematic training and have very little combat experience, with Yang Fu's skill bonus, their combat effectiveness is not much worse than Ma Chao's elite, and in a desperate state, they are even better than Ma Chao The elites are even stronger, and with the cooperation of Yang Fu's soldiers, Lintao City is now like a meaty bone that is very difficult to chew but has an attractive aroma.

But after all, these 3000 soldiers are recruits, and their fighting power is enough, but they don't have much combat experience. In just two hours of siege, Wang Yi's 1000 soldiers lost nearly [-] soldiers, accounting for more than half of the total casualties today. .

"Haha, the bandits have suffered a lot of losses today. Let's continue tomorrow and try to conquer Lintao City in one go." Ma Chao is now very high-spirited and extremely proud. He believes that if he comes again tomorrow, Lintao City will be able to conquer it. Captured by him.

However, at this moment, only the rumble of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, followed by flags covering the sky and the sun, earth-shattering shouts of killing, and smoke and dust being rolled up all over the sky. In addition, in the team, In the middle of it stands a large insignia with gold embroidered characters written on it: "General Liu"...
"Huh, I've played this once before. I didn't expect the other party to still play this kind of trick. If I let you enter the city today, my surname will not be Ma! Pass the order and kill the other party's reinforcements. Catch that sneaky man behind him!" Seeing the "reinforcement army" on the other side, Ma Chao felt furious, and immediately ordered the army to chase after him.
