Bursts of shouts of killing erupted from the towers of Wuwei City. For two whole days, Ma Teng led his army without any pause. During the two consecutive days of attack, although the towers were about to be breached several times, Han Sui failed every time.
They all led their soldiers to rescue at the last moment.
The fierce battle caused heavy losses to the soldiers on both sides, and the entire city tower was dyed bright red.
"Damn it, Han Sui's soldiers and horses are so invincible that they have persisted for so long." At the north gate, Ma Xiu wiped the blood on his face and looked angrily at Han Sui's soldiers and horses on the tower and said bitterly.
"Come on, I don't believe how long they can hold on." Matthew shouted loudly and charged forward again. Even he was extremely exhausted after two days of fierce fighting. How could the soldiers on the tower hold on for so long?
"Damn it, is this Ma Xiu really desperate for his life?" Cheng Yi looked angrily at Ma Xiu who rushed forward again.
The battles at the other three city gates were also fierce, but the most intense was at the west gate where Ma Teng personally supervised the battle.
A series of well railings stood beside the city tower, and dense rain of arrows poured down on the city tower. The number of soldiers on the city tower was nearly twice as many as that of the other gates, but even so, they were still blocked.
He was beaten so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
In a room above the city tower, Han Sui was looking out the door with a gloomy face. At this time, he no longer had the confidence he had before, and his whole body was even covered with dirt, and he had no time to clean it.
"Is there any news about Cao Hong's reinforcements?" Looking up at everyone, Han Sui couldn't help but feel a bit cold in his voice. He had asked Cao Hong for reinforcements yesterday, but he had not seen any reinforcements until today. Even though
They wanted to consume his strength, and the goal had been achieved. Did Cao Hong really want to sit back and watch his fall?
"Lord, our connection with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has been completely cut off by Ma Chao. These days, Ma Chao has led his cavalry to fight everywhere, and more than ten cities have been surrendered. If things go on like this without that Ma Teng, we will not be able to break through the cities.
This place will be destroyed." Cheng Yin said with a bitter smile.
"Hmph, Ma Chao only has 10,000 cavalry under his command, and his strength is far inferior to that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. If Cao Hong wants to rescue us, he is naturally not afraid of Ma Chao. I see that Cao Hong clearly wants to sit back and watch our defeat," Cheng Yingang said.
After that, a cold snort sounded, but it was Han Sui's general candidate.
"That's enough. Since Cao Hong wants to sit back and watch our defeat, how can he succeed? Although the army in the city suffered heavy casualties, Ma Teng's army outside the city also suffered heavy casualties. Who among you is willing to go on my behalf to persuade Ma Teng?
Retreat and fight the enemy together." Han Sui waved his hand to stop the argument.
Several people looked at each other with hesitation. They also knew Ma Teng's temperament. If he was irritated by his capriciousness, he would lose his life.
"The general is willing to go." Just as Han Sui's face became increasingly gloomy, Li Kan stood up and said.
"Okay, go and tell Ma Teng that if he wants to withdraw from Liangzhou, he will have the final say in the future. Whether I leave or stay is all up to him." Han Sui's face softened slightly and he glanced at Li Kan with appreciation and said.
.
Hearing Han Sui's words, everyone was shocked, knowing that Han Sui had already planned to leave Liangzhou, and he had clearly lost his interest in Liangzhou.
"Lord, don't worry. Even if I die, I will convince Ma Teng to retreat." Li Kan said with his hands in hand.
"Uncle, would you like to let the army rest for a while? We have been attacking for two days. If we don't rest for a while, we will have no power to resist once Cao Hong sends his troops here." Under the city tower, Ma Dai was trying to persuade Ma Teng.
"Humph, what do you know? It's hard to force Han Sui into a desperate situation at this time. If Han Sui is given a chance to breathe, it will be difficult to capture Wuwei City." Ma Teng shook his head with determination in his eyes.
He was not shaken at all by Ma Dai's words.
"Huh?" As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Teng suddenly raised his head and looked to the side. He saw a rope slowly falling from a gap in the tower. Ma Teng's sharp eyes recognized it as Han Sui's general Li Kan.
"The landscape is really exhausted. Even if it is a rescue, there is no need to let him go. This Han Sui is really dizzy." Ma Teng chuckled and said: "You go and capture that Li Kan, I want to see this
What exactly did Han Sui pay attention to?"
"Yes, uncle." Ma Dai cupped his hands, turned his horse's head and rushed over with several people.
After a while, Li Kan was escorted over.
After breaking free from the two men who were escorting him, Li Kan looked at Ma Teng: "The last general has seen General Ma."
"Why did you leave the city this time?" Ma Teng looked at Li Kan coldly and said.
"I have come to discuss matters with the general on my lord's orders. My lord asked me to tell the general that if the battle continues, it will probably be a lose-lose situation for both sides. Now the Jingzhou soldiers and horses and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry are watching eagerly. General
I'm not afraid of sudden intervention from these two parties, and my lord also asked me to tell the general that if the general makes a truce now, Liangzhou will belong to the general from now on. As for whether my lord leaves or stays, it all depends on the general's thought." Li Kan
Gongshou Road.
"Haha..." Ma Teng sat on the horse and laughed wildly: "This Han Sui is also today?"
Li Kan looked at Ma Teng angrily, but did not dare to say anything. At this time, Ma Teng had an absolute advantage, and he had to endure it.
"Go back and tell Han Sui that if he is willing to go out of the city and kneel down to beg for mercy, I might leave his whole body." Ma Teng looked at Li Kan with cold eyes and said fiercely.
"You..." Li Kan stared at Ma Teng and was speechless. He did not expect that Ma Teng was so rampant. Although Han Sui was at a disadvantage, if he really defeated Ma Teng to the death, there would be no good results.
"What are you? If it weren't for the sake of your loyalty, I would have chopped you in half. Get out of here." Ma Teng said with a cold expression on his face.
"Humph, general, don't regret it in the future if you are like this." Li Kan snorted coldly and turned towards Wuwei City. When he looked up, he saw that the rope lowered from the city tower had been cut off by Ma Teng's soldiers and horses, and he took it out.
The empty space was also filled with countless soldiers.
Knowing that he would not be able to return to the city in a short time, Li Kan simply sat on the ground and watched the fierce battle between the two sides.
In terms of casualties, the one who attacked the city suffered far more casualties than the one who defended the city. Even if Ma Teng was stubborn, it would only be a matter of death. Li was not a person who was afraid of death. Even his master would definitely not
yield.
"Hmph, do you really think you can win a big victory? Call all the soldiers and horses in the city. I want to see how Ma Teng can capture my city." Han Sui snorted coldly on top of the city tower and turned around.
Walk into the room.
I originally thought I could keep some of my troops to protect myself, but now I have to use them to fight Ma Teng. I hate Cao Cao extremely in my heart.
"Haha, why should General Han be angry?"
As soon as Han Sui walked into the room, he heard a voice. Han Sui was immediately startled. Who could reach this place because of the heavy defenses?
"Who are you?" Han Sui squinted his eyes and asked coldly as he looked at the man in black hiding in the shadows not far away.
"Haha, the general encountered some trouble at this time?" the man in black chuckled.
"Hmph, Ma Teng wants to conquer the city but he is not strong enough. But if you don't want to leave this room, you can continue to talk." Han Sui said coldly.
"General Han is indeed very courageous. I am here to ask a question from my lord, General?" the man in black said in a solemn voice.
"Oh, who is your master?" Han Sui asked.
"I'm from Jingzhou."
"Liu Qi, is it him?" Han Sui was shocked. He was really surprised that Liu Qi's people were here.
"My lord asked me to ask the general, if you are willing to submit to me, Jingzhou?" The voice of the man in black did not waver at all, and was extremely cold.
"Haha, don't you know that I have joined Cao Cao?" Han Sui laughed.
"It's submission, not submission. General, can you understand?"
"So what if I surrender?" Han Sui chuckled.
"Submission means that the general has no retreat in the future and has no choice but to serve the Lord. Submission means that one can still get rid of control." The man in black said coldly.
"Haha, let your lord defeat Cao Hong's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry first." Han Sui shook his head and was really not optimistic about Jingzhou. Facing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, he was at an absolute disadvantage.
"I'm afraid the general will only have one corpse left by then, right?" The man in black pondered for a moment and said.
"You are looking for death!" Han Sui shouted coldly, pressing the hilt of his sword with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Haha, I had no intention of leaving in the first place." The man in black sneered.
"The choice is entirely up to the general," the man in black continued.
"That's enough, you can leave." Han Sui said coldly.
"I'll take my leave now." There was deep disappointment in his tone, and just a black shadow flashed past the man in black before disappearing into the room.
"Huh, Jingzhou? I underestimate you. But compared to Cao Cao, you don't have an advantage." Han Sui shook his head to shake off the thoughts in his mind. At this time, he should think about how to escape.
"What is General Cao thinking? If we don't send troops, Ma Teng's troops will attack the city." Du Xi said anxiously in the post house. Han Sui's attitude towards them has become increasingly bad in the past two days.
, even he felt that Cao Hong should send troops at this time.
"Perhaps there are other plans." Yang Xiu also frowned and his brows were full of worry. If Cao Hong did not come here, then the day when the city was destroyed would be the day when they would die, and Han Sui would never let them go.
……………………………………………………
Thirty miles away from Wuwei City, smoke billowed and the sound of horse hooves shook the sky. From a distance, a long dragon was seen galloping across the wilderness at extremely fast speeds.
This long dragon was the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Hong. They were paying close attention to the situation in Wuwei City. When Han Sui was about to lose his hold, Cao Hong finally no longer hesitated and led his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry towards Wuwei City.
"General, in another twenty miles we will reach Wuwei City."
"Order the army to speed up and triple the number of scouts. Ma Teng must not be able to find any trace of us." Cao Hong ordered. He chose this time to attack because Ma Chao was already far away from Wuwei and it would be difficult to return reinforcements in a short time.
