Han Sui didn't notice Ma Chao's depressed expression at all, and was still stroking his beard proudly.
"Look, Meng Qi, although the Yizhou Army's attack is fierce, its method is extremely simple! All our soldiers are concentrated below the city. What will happen if thousands of arrows are fired at this time?"
Ma Chao looked in the direction of Han Sui's finger and found that this was indeed the case.
All the soldiers gathered under the city and waited to climb up the ladder, but the defenders of Yuzhong City seemed unable to see the enemy troops below the city, and still only used stones to hit the Qiang soldiers on the ladder.
"What my uncle said is absolutely true. Why did Liu Zhang do this?"
"Is there some conspiracy?"
Ma Chao exclaimed, thinking of Liu Zhang's previous treachery, and suddenly became worried.
"Don't worry, Meng Qi. There is only one reason for all this, and Liu Zhang was forced to do so!"
"what reason?"
Han Sui's expression became even more proud, and he was sincerely amazed at his sharp eyesight.
"Yuzhong City's defense supplies are insufficient, so he can only use them sparingly!"
"Liu Zhang knows that we will not give up. He must be planning to hold on for a long time, trying to use time to delay us until we can't support it any longer!"
Ma Chao agreed very much with Han Sui's statement. An army of 300,000 was good, but the daily consumption was astronomical!
Han Sui could only sustain it for a while, but could never sustain it for a long time.
"Hey! Liu Zhang is so cunning and difficult to deal with!"
Ma Chao didn't understand Han Sui's joy very much. He really felt that there was nothing worth being happy about.
Liu Zhang's thinking was right. If the stalemate in Yuzhong City continued, it would undoubtedly be Han Sui and the Ma Chao coalition that ultimately failed.
"Hahaha, Meng Qi doesn't have to be like this, Liu Zhang's ruin has been exposed!"
Han Sui burst out laughing, which immediately attracted Ma Chao's attention.
"Oh? How can uncle see you?"
"Meng Qi, don't forget that Yuzhong City's supplies are limited, but as the attacker, our military strength is almost unlimited!"
Han Sui is not exaggerating. In fact, for Yuzhong City, there is really no difference between an army of 300,000 and unlimited troops.
"No matter how much Liu Zhang saves, the supplies will definitely become less and less as they are used! We can also increase the intensity of the attack to help Liu Zhang consume the defensive equipment!"
According to Han Sui's inference, the first tentative attack on the first day often requires the momentum of the defenders.
But Liu Zhang was so timid, it must be because he had so few supplies to defend the city!
At this moment, the 20,000-strong army that attacked for the second time also reached the foot of Yuzhong City!
There is nothing else under the entire city wall. It is densely packed with people, almost a thousand people, waiting for a ladder.
"Uncle, if that's the case, why not send more ladders to increase our attack methods?"
"Hahaha, heroes really think alike, that's exactly what I meant!"
Han Sui looked up to the sky and laughed again. He saw that Ma Chao really liked him more and more, and he wished he could make him his son immediately.
"Come here! Send 20 more ladders and 10,000 troops to capture Yuzhong City in one fell swoop!"
But just when Han Sui was extremely proud, the situation under Yuzhong City suddenly changed, and endless screams were heard.
"what happened!"
Han Sui yelled and quickly looked towards the city wall.
I saw that the Yuzhong City Wall was no longer just throwing stones up the ladder, but the entire city wall was throwing huge stones down the city!
Han Sui had just concluded that Yuzhong City was short of supplies, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face by reality.
The Yizhou Army's offensive was far from over. While huge boulders were being thrown down, arrows began to be thrown from the city.
Because the Qiang soldiers were too dense under the city wall, almost all the arrows hit the bodies of the Qiang soldiers.
Qiang soldiers do not have the iron armor worn by the Yizhou army, and even leather armor is very rare.
Nearly ten thousand arrows were poured out from the top of his head, causing heavy casualties immediately!
In order to avoid the rain of arrows and boulders, the Qiang soldiers began to rush around under the city, and the entire formation was instantly in chaos.
"this..."
Faced with the sudden change in the situation, Han Sui was so shocked that he was completely speechless.
The slap in the face came too fast. Just now I had concluded that Liu Zhang was reluctant to part with supplies, but in such a short time, thousands of arrows were fired!
"..."
At this time, Ma Chao was extremely speechless. He had long felt that something was wrong, but he did not raise any objection because Han Sui was so confident.
Unexpectedly, Han Sui had reached this level of incompetence and was completely unworthy of his title of Nine Songs of the Yellow River.
"Uncle Han, what are you doing now? Should we march or retreat?"
The tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers below the city are already in chaos. If they don't intervene, they will all be destroyed soon.
Ma Chao couldn't help but feel anxious. Even if there were 300,000 troops, he couldn't let the soldiers go and die, right?
"We can't withdraw! Liu Zhang must have arranged his troops. Once we withdraw, he will definitely cover us up!"
Han Sui quickly woke up from his shock and had a very clear insight into the current situation.
Once the Qiang soldiers below the city receive the order to retreat, they will definitely run back like crazy.
If Liu Zhang sent troops to pursue him, I am afraid that more than 20,000 people would directly attack the formation out of fear.
By that time, not only the 30,000 troops will be in chaos, but also the entire Qiang-Han coalition will be in chaos!
"Yan Xing!"
Upon hearing Han Sui's call, Yan Xing immediately rode forward.
"Lord!"
"Immediately lead your troops to outflank Yuzhong City from the left!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
Yan Xing did not hesitate and immediately led the Jincheng soldiers to march as ordered.
"Meng Qi, could you please lead the mighty troops to outflank us from the right?"
Ma Chao didn't understand Han Sui's intention and showed a trace of doubt.
"Uncle, what's the use of outflanking the city?"
If Yan Xing raised a question, Han Sui would immediately scold him and ask him to execute the order.
But it was Ma Chao who asked him the question, and no matter how anxious he was, he could only patiently explain.
"Our biggest advantage is that we are five times stronger than Liu Zhang's army. It would be a waste to attack just one city wall!"
"You and Yan Xing will go around on both sides. If you encounter enemy troops, destroy them on the spot."
"I will send a large army later to surround Yuzhong City on all sides!"
Han Sui paused for a moment, and then a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"Doesn't Liu Zhang not care about consumption? Okay! I will surround Yuzhong City and then attack from all sides at the same time! I don't think he cares!"
I originally wanted to show off my wisdom in front of Ma Chao, but I didn't expect that I would end up losing the rice instead of stealing the chicken. Instead, I would lose all my face!
Han Sui could not admit defeat under any circumstances. He had to rely on military power to regain his face by force.
It is indeed a good idea to besiege the city on all sides. Ma Chao's side can attack fiercely on all sides, but Liu Zhang can only disperse his troops.
Ma Chao really had no objection to this order and immediately accepted it.
