The big man is on the run

Chapter 132 There is not much time left for Ma Chao
At this time, Liu Yi couldn't help but frown slightly after he didn't get the news for a long time. He could tell that Ma Chao had gone crazy, and even nine cows couldn't be pulled back.

Although my troops are not far from Yangcheng, it will take an hour or two to get to Yangcheng from here.

After all, the marching speed of a large group of troops, even if they are dominated by cavalry, is faster than the desperate Cyclonus rushing in.

Moreover, in addition to the troops he brought, he also joined Li Kan's troops, and Li Kan himself did not let Liu Yi feel at ease.

If Ma Chao really intends to attack Yangcheng by force, then not only Ma Chao, the attacking party, will suffer losses in the end, but Yangcheng will suffer even more. After all, the people in Yangcheng are all innocent. If Ma Chao really gave the order to attack the city, then the people like them would definitely go to the city as auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands, and they would definitely be implicated.

The reason is also very simple. Yangcheng's defensive force is insufficient. Even if Cheng Yin is the general of the Tuntian Army, the theoretical staff given by the imperial court is only 500 people.

This number was set by Liu Yi himself, and he could not be more clear about the rules set for the tyrants in Guanzhong Sanfu and the refugee leaders who are willing to be recruited.

"It seems that Ma Chao is not a brave and resourceful general!" Liu Yi sighed softly and muttered to himself.

No wonder, if Ma Chao could really understand the situation and really had a brain, he wouldn't have done the thing of tricking his own father into recognizing Han Sui as his father.

It's like when negotiating, only a fool will be furious and reveal his cards in the first place.

If he is really a calm and wise man with a lot of cards in his hand, he really can't do this kind of thing to avenge his little brother by himself, and he is so irritable and irrational.

Although Liu Yi didn't have a good impression of Ma Mengqi, he also knew that at such a time, there should be no further complications, otherwise, the situation would probably be worsened.

At the very least, it is necessary to control the situation and prevent the situation from becoming an enemy of the coerced Ma family and the entire court.

If the situation does become that way, the final result will be disastrous.

Liu Yi's recuperation plan will be completely interrupted, and at the same time, his efforts in the layout of Yongliang and Liangzhou will also be in vain.

"Hey! Forget it, since Yang Xiu can't mediate, then I will do it myself!" Liu Yi sighed softly and said with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, Ma Chao, the general of tigers and wolves, should not take personal risks." Fazheng hesitated.

"It's okay, call Gongming. He is the oldest and most experienced. If he can hold back Li Kan, he should lead the army alone. Old Wang, Hu Che'er, you two are going to lead someone to go ahead with me."

Not long after, Xu Huang was called over.

"Your Majesty, I would like to lead the army and go with you to Yangcheng to resist Ma Chao! I also hope that Your Majesty will not personally risk it."

After listening to Liu Yi's order, Xu Huang cupped his hands and looked at Liu Yi firmly.

Liu Yi nodded and looked at Xu Huang appreciatively.

"I know Gongming's loyalty, but I can't mediate this matter. How about this, you lead this thousand cavalry to guard Li Kan, lead the army to Yangcheng, and report to me immediately if Li Kan behaves abnormally!"

Liu Yi exhorted in a deep voice.

Seeing that Liu Yi had made up his mind, Xu Huang couldn't say anything more. At the same time, Xu Huang also realized that it was His Majesty who gave him the opportunity to be alone.

Although Ma Chao was reckless when he sent troops in anger, what Cheng Yin and Li Kan, the generals of Yangcheng, did not necessarily make sense. Therefore, Li Kan can't use it with confidence.

Realizing such a meaning of Liu Yi, Xu Huang felt Liu Yi's trust, and his words became a little more heavy.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the final general will live up to His Majesty's entrustment!" Xu Huang said vowingly to Liu Yi.

"Okay! It's hard work for you." Liu Yi nodded, then turned his head to Fazheng, Wang Yue, and Hu Che'er and said, "Let's go, we will go there on Qingqi, hoping to save the people of Yangcheng. In the disaster of extinction!"

Fazheng, Wang Yue, and Hu Che'er all said loudly to Liu Yi, "I would like to go with Your Majesty!"

"Hahahaha~~~Okay! Let's go together!"

Immediately, Liu Yi rode his horse and raised his whip, while Xu Huang, Fazheng, and Hu Che'er led dozens of personal guards to follow closely behind, and galloped towards Yangcheng.

Yangcheng, before Ma Chao.

"Damn Cheng Yin, hateful Yangcheng, you still dare to defend and refuse my army to enter the city! It's just a mere city, and you alone want to stop my conquest? Huh, don't be wishful thinking! Send people to continue attacking!"

Ma Chao looked resentful. Yangcheng's defense strength exceeded his expectations. Ma's cavalry were not very good at attacking the city.

"Report!"

Looking at the silk script passed by his personal guard, Ma Chao asked suspiciously, "Who sent it?"

"General Pound."

Ma Chao opened the silk book that Pang De sent someone to gallop over, and his face turned livid after hastily reading it.

"Pang De is even more hateful! He even ordered me to strike a truce in the tone of my grandfather, I am so disgusted!"

Ma Chao cursed verbally, but even he knew that this was a sign of his powerlessness.

He had personally led the troops to attack the city just now, but he was still forced back by the rolling logs and rocks from the top of the city.

At this time, Ma Chao's heart was also icy cold, and now he also deeply understands what it means to be helpless and what it means to be helpless!
There is not much time left for Ma Chao.

He originally thought that his army was enough to crush Yangcheng, but unexpectedly, Yangcheng actually carried it to the end and refused to give in, which made him very angry!
What made him even angrier was that the pressure from all sides kept coming to him, and this pressure was completely beyond what he had imagined at the beginning.

In other words, when Ma Chao sent troops, he never thought that Yangcheng would be so difficult to fight.

It is precisely because expectations are too high that when encountering unexpected setbacks, Ma Chao will feel serious frustration.

"General, what should we do now?"

"Yeah, if we can't take Yangcheng, I'm afraid General Pang De will come with a warrant, and then I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

The confidantes under Ma Chao's command all began to persuade him to make a decision early and not delay any longer, otherwise, once the soldiers and horses of the court, and even Pound's soldiers and horses arrive, it will add countless variables to the matter, and it will be impossible at that time. Packed up.

The most important thing is that if Pound came with Ma Teng's warrant, then as long as the warrant was revealed, Ma Chao and his confidants would have no reason to continue to attack, but had to obey Ma Teng's orders.

Ma Chao also knew this, so after hearing the remonstrance from his subordinates, his expression was cloudy.

"General, what do you think?" A deputy general looked at Ma Chao's expression, secretly worried, and asked hastily.

"Hey, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't take responsibility. You don't have to worry about grandpa getting involved with you. I'll do things by myself." Ma Chao shook his head, sighed and said, "I know what I did on impulse this time. It's a bit reckless, but now I can only continue to attack. Before Grandpa's warrant comes, I must take Yangcheng quickly, otherwise, how can I be reconciled? What strategies do you have to defeat the enemy? List them."

Hearing Ma Chao's words, all the people present showed solemn expressions, because they didn't know the layout of Yangcheng at all, and they didn't know whether the defense of Yangcheng was really so tight all around. They just heard or glimpsed it, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, so as not to make Ma Chao unhappy.

"General."

A partial general stood up helplessly and said that he had the highest seniority among these partial generals, and he was also Ma Chao's confidant. The key to the battle, no matter how you say it, someone has to come up with an idea.

So, after thinking for a while, he said to Ma Chao, "General, I have an idea."

"Oh, is that so? Let's talk about it quickly. If it's feasible, it may solve our urgent need." When Ma Chao heard that the general said he had a solution, he immediately became interested and asked hastily.

In the current situation, as long as the uncooked rice is cooked, and the imperial court and Pang De are not here, and take down Yangcheng first, then everything is easy to talk about.

"In Yangcheng, there are only a small number of bed crossbows, and the number of crossbowmen is not too many, so if we can raid the small gate at the corner of the city, then maybe we can catch them by surprise!" The partial general Said.

"Huh? This idea seems good. However, if you want to attack the small gate of Yangcheng, you must have a rush car. If you just make a surprise attack, it is impossible, and as long as you rush out, I'm afraid it will arouse their vigilance. This is not easy!" Ma Chao said with some hesitation after pondering for a moment.

"Don't worry, general, we can go around the mountains around Yangcheng, and we have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in our hands. As long as there are no accidents, it should be no problem to conquer Yangcheng!" Chest assured.

After hearing this, Ma Chao nodded, then glanced at the towers on the city wall, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "In this case, then I will follow what you said, you are responsible for attacking the small gate, and I will attack the main gate." The gate. Attack! I want to see how difficult Yangcheng is to capture!"

"Here!"

When everyone heard the words, they agreed one after another. They also wanted to break through Yangcheng, but they never had a chance. They had already been repulsed several times by the Yangcheng defenders.

"The order goes on, everyone listens carefully. This time the siege is not allowed to take half a step back without permission. Anyone who violates this rule will be beheaded to show the public! Remember?!" Ma Chao faced his subordinates With a loud roar, he shouted loudly.

Ma Chao's voice resounded throughout the front of the formation, allowing everyone to hear clearly.

"Obey!" A group of soldiers responded in unison.

"Proceed with the order, the whole army will attack, there must be no mistakes!" Ma Chao nodded in satisfaction, and then gave the order to attack.

Immediately after Ma Chao gave an order, all the soldiers mobilized and began to approach Yangcheng slowly. Ma Chao also came to the front of the battle, looking at Cheng Yin at the top of the city from a distance, his expression full of fear.

On the city wall of Yangcheng, a group of generals were also watching Ma Chao and the others in the distance, their eyes were full of panic, and their faces were full of confusion and uneasiness. They knew very well that the army led by Ma Chao How powerful it is, and this time it's all desperate, under such circumstances, can the defenders of Yangcheng, who have already lost a lot, be able to resist again?
When the soldiers of the Yangcheng garrison saw Ma Chao leading the team again and heading towards Yangcheng with a murderous aura, some of the forced laborers were even frightened.

"It's not good! Ma Chao is here!"

"It's over!"

The ordinary people who were dragged to the top of the city to serve as civilian husbands and auxiliary soldiers watched Ma Chao's entire army attack, their faces were pale, their eyes were terrified, and their hearts were full of fear.

"What are you panicking about!"

Cheng Yin reprimanded displeasedly.

"The walls of Yangcheng are so thick, if Ma Chao wants to capture our Yangcheng, he will have to pay a huge price!"

"Yes, I think it will be impossible for Ma Chao to break through within ten days and half a month. The imperial reinforcements have arrived long ago!"

After hearing the words, all the civilian husbands gradually calmed down.

At this moment, a small school in charge of the southeast corner suddenly came to report.

"General Qi, in the south of the city, there is a cavalry rushing towards Yangcheng."

"How many horses are there, and whose banner is it playing?"

"There are only dozens of riders. I don't understand the banner. It looks like the banner of a general with a heavy number."

When Cheng Yin heard this, his face brightened immediately, and he said, "Hahaha, it seems that the imperial court has not abandoned our Yangcheng, and actually sent reinforcements to help us!"

There was a hint of excitement on Cheng Yin's face. He was ready to be killed by Ma Chao, but he didn't expect that Yangcheng, the Heavenly Immortal, would have another support army!
Even if it's just the reinforcements who came to mediate, that's reinforcements!At least give him some time to recuperate and breathe.

"Continue to pay attention and report at any time."

"Yes, Commander." Hearing the words, the little school immediately responded with clasped fists.

"The order continues. All soldiers are not allowed to leave the guard post easily. They must resist this round of offensive, understand?!" Cheng Yin ordered.

"No!" The surrounding soldiers clasped their fists in promise, and then turned and left.

Looking at the scarred city wall and the wounded soldiers all over the place, Cheng Yin sighed heavily, hoping he could survive this round.
