The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Chapter 283: Three-Line Combat: Poison Separation

After the letter turmoil, Ma Teng's army attacked the city as usual in the next few days without any slack.In order to prove his innocence, Han Sui also worked extraordinarily hard when he led his subordinates to attack the city, which made Ma Teng feel more at ease.As for Cao Jun, they have been defending as usual for the past few days, but Cao Jun didn't do anything special other than that. The letter seemed to be forgotten by them, and they never mentioned it again.

The progress of Ma Teng's army attacking the city was still slow. Several times the soldiers managed to reach the top of the city, but they were all beaten back by the Chang'an defenders.

This Chang'an city has been standing in front of the Liangzhou army like this, as if it is unshakable.

However, no matter how strong the city wall is, it is impossible to keep it under long-term attack.Ma Teng brought a full 20 troops on this trip, so it can be said that he is not afraid of consumption.After a few days, although Ma Teng's army suffered heavy losses, they still have more than 14 soldiers who can devote themselves to the siege at this moment.

The defenders in Chang'an City have also been reduced from the original [-] to less than [-], and the reinforcements brought by Xia Houyuan outside the city have also resulted in a reduction of tens of thousands of people.

Although Chang'an City still looked impregnable, Ma Teng knew that he had already seen the hope of breaking the city.It can be said that as long as he can persevere, it is only a matter of time before he captures the city.

Now Ma Teng couldn't care less about rushing into Xuchang before Sun Jian. Now he only wanted to take Chang'an, and he could get a share of the pie when the army entered Xuchang, so he was satisfied.

The only thing that made Ma Teng feel a lot of pressure was the problem of food and grass. The consumption of the 10,000+ army was too great, and the logistics were already too much.But for this dilemma, Ma Teng also came up with a way to deal with it.

At the beginning, Ma Teng brought 1 Liangzhou cavalry, all of which were equipped with one man and two cavalry. Now the Liangzhou cavalry has been destroyed, and many horses have been taken away by Cao Jun, but there are still more than [-] army horses left on his side.

Anyway, I don't have cavalry here now, and even if I have it, I don't need it. The ten thousand war horses are just idle in the barracks.If there is really no other way, just kill the horses and use them as rations.

Although the act of beheading a war horse is very bad for a soldier, Ma Teng has already seen the hope of capturing Chang'an City, and he will not allow this hope to slip away from his fingertips.

Of course, if the city of Chang'an can be captured before the rations are exhausted, that would be the best ending for Ma Teng, but judging from the current situation, there is still room for resistance in the city of Chang'an, and he wants to achieve it within a few days. The goal of breaking the city is extremely difficult, almost impossible.

Just when Ma Teng was ready to kill the army horses for food, a sudden change came.

One day, when dusk was approaching, the whole day's siege had ended, and Ma Teng had already returned to his camp to rest.

Suddenly, a guard came to report and arrested a man who was visiting at the gate of the barracks. He was acting suspiciously, suspected to be Cao Jun's spy.

Cao Jun's secret work?When Ma Teng heard the news, he ordered the man to be taken into the account.

"Who are you?" Ma Teng asked directly after the visitor was escorted into the big tent.

"The villain is an old acquaintance of General Han Sui, and I am here to pay a visit to General Han Sui today." The other party replied respectfully.

"You look like a person of low status. How could it be Wen Yue... an old acquaintance of General Han?" Han Sui's old acquaintance?No matter how Ma Teng looked at the other party's appearance, he didn't feel like it.

Although Ma Teng is not a man of resourcefulness, he has been in a high position for many years, so he still has some ability to judge people.The person in front of him looked like an ordinary trafficker and pawn at first glance, and Han Sui was born in a noble family in Xiliang, and he was also somewhat arrogant, how could he befriend such an ordinary person?

"Earlier, I had met General Han a few times, and we didn't have much deep friendship. However, this time I heard that General Han was fighting Cao Jun here, so I wanted to meet my old friend." Faced with Ma Teng's doubts, the visitor said replied.

The man's words didn't sound too flawed, but Ma Teng always felt that something was wrong.

But what is the problem?

Suddenly, Ma Teng thought of the letter Cao Jun sent to Han Sui a few days ago.

messenger?letter?Old friend?Suddenly, Ma Teng seemed to realize something.

This person lied that he was Han Sui's old friend, maybe it was Cao Jun's secret work, and he was here to discuss the letter with Han Sui.

The more Ma Teng thought about it, the more he felt that his deduction was correct, and a burst of sweat dripped down his back.

"Er'an dares to lie!" After Ma Teng calmed down his mood, he suddenly shouted at the man with a stern voice.

"Little, little man didn't lie." The visitor was frightened by Ma Teng's fright, and said submissively.

"Then do you know who I am?" Ma Teng continued to ask.

"Small, the villain doesn't know the general..." the visitor said with trepidation, his tongue was even a little knotted because of nervousness. .

Although Ma Teng is the coach of the Liangzhou army, as the coach, he would naturally not go to the front line in person. Therefore, many people in the Cao army have never seen his face, and it is normal for him not to know himself.

If this person is really from Cao Ying and he doesn't know himself, he probably doesn't know Han Sui either, so he looks around in front of the camp gate.

"I...it's Han Sui!" Ma Tengsui said, already thinking about it.
