Chapter 409 Tiger and Leopard Riding
"Kill!"
There were bursts of shouts on the tower of Wuwei City. For two days, Ma Teng led his army without stopping at all. For two consecutive days, although he was about to break through the tower several times, Han Sui led his men to rescue at the last moment every time.
The fierce war caused heavy losses for the soldiers on both sides, and the whole tower was dyed bright red.
"Daw, Han Sui's soldiers and horses are all iron. They have persisted for so long." At the north gate, Ma Xiu wiped the blood beads on his face and looked angrily at Han Sui's soldiers and horses on the tower.
"Give it to me, I don't believe how long they can last." Matthew shouted and rushed up again. Even he was extremely tired from the two-day fierce battle. How could the soldiers on the tower last too long?
"Daw, is this horse really desperate?" Cheng Yi, the voice of the city tower, looked angrily at Ma Xiu, who rushed up again.
The other three gates are also fierce, but the most fierce is the west gate where Ma Teng personally supervised the battle.
A well railing stands on the side of the tower, and the rain-dense arrows pour down on the tower. The soldiers on the tower are nearly twice as many as other gates, but even so, they can't lift their heads.
In a room above the tower, Han Sui was looking out of the door with a gloomy face. At this time, he had no confidence at all, and even his whole body was covered with dirt, and he didn't have time to clean it.
"Has there ever been any news about Cao Hong's reinforcements?" Looking up at the crowd, Han Sui's voice couldn't help but be a little cold. He had asked Cao Hong for help yesterday, but until now he has not seen any trace of reinforcements. Even if he wants to consume his strength, his goal has been achieved. Does Cao Hong really want to sit and watch him die?
"Lord, our contact with the tiger and leopard rider has been completely cut off by Ma Chao. These Tianma Chao led his cavalry to fight around, and there have been more than a dozen cities looking at the wind. In the long run, if we don't need that Ma Teng to break through the city, we will also die here." Cheng Yin said with a wry smile.
"Well, there are only 10,000 cavalry under Ma Chao, and his strength is far inferior to that of tiger and leopard cavalry. If Cao Hong wants to rescue us, he is naturally not afraid of Ma Chao. I look at Cao Hong and obviously want to watch us die." As soon as Cheng Yin finished speaking, a cold hum sounded, but it was the general under Han Sui's command.
"Enough, since Cao Hong wants to sit and watch us lose, how can he succeed? Although the army in the city suffered heavy casualties, the Ma Teng army outside the city suffered heavy casualties. Who is willing to persuade Ma Teng to retreat and fight against the enemy on my behalf? Han Sui waved his hand to stop the dispute.
Several people looked at each other and hesitated, and they also knew Ma Teng's temperament. If the capriciousness annoyed him, wouldn't he lose his life?
"The last general is willing to go." Just as Han Sui's face became more and more gloomy, Li Kan stood up and said.
"Okay, go and tell Ma Teng that if he is willing to withdraw from the army, Liangzhou will have the final say in the future. It's all up to him whether I leave or stay." Han Sui looked at Li Kandao with a slight admiration.
Hearing Han Sui's words, everyone was shocked and knew that Han Sui had planned to leave Liangzhou. It was clear that he had lost his mind about Liangzhou.
"Lord, don't worry, even if I die, I will persuade Ma Teng to retreat." Li Kan arched his hand.
"Uncle, have you let the army rest for a while? It has been attacking for two days. If you don't take a rest, we won't have any resistance once Cao Hong sends troops here." Under the tower, Ma Dai was bowing his hand to persuade Ma Teng.
"Well, what do you know? At this time, it is not easy to force Han Sui into a desperate situation. If Han Sui has a chance to breathe, it will be difficult to capture Wuwei City again." Ma Teng shook his head and his eyes were full of firmness, and he was not shaken by Ma Dai's words at all.
"Hmm?" As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Teng suddenly looked up and looked aside. In a gap in the tower, a rope was slowly falling. Ma Teng's sharp eyes recognized that it was Li Kan, a general under Han Sui's command.
"It's really that the mountains and rivers are exhausted. Even if it's a rescue, you don't have to let him go. Han Sui is really dizzy." Ma Teng smiled and said, "Go and catch Li Kan. I'd like to see what Han Sui is paying attention to?"
"Yes, uncle." Ma Dai arched his hand, turned the horse's head and rushed over with several people.
After a while, he escorted Li Kan and came over.
The two people who escorted him broke free. Li Kan looked at Ma Teng: "The last general has seen General Ma."
"What's wrong with you going out of the city this time?" Ma Teng looked at Li Kandao coldly.
"The last general came to discuss something with the general under the order of my lord. My lord asked me to tell the general that if we continue to fight again, I'm afraid it will be a losing situation. Now the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders are staring on the side. The general is not afraid of the sudden interference of the two sides, and my lord also asked me to tell the general. If the general is in a truce now, Liangzhou will be the general in the future. As for whether my lord leaves or stays, it is all in the mind of the general. Li Kan arched his hand.
"Haha..." Ma Teng sat on the horse and laughed wildly: "Han Sui also has today?"
Li Kan looked at Ma Teng angrily, but he didn't dare to say anything. At this time, Ma Teng had an absolute advantage, and he had to tolerate it.
"Go back and tell Han Sui that if he is willing to go out of the city and kneel down and beg for mercy, I may leave him a whole body." Ma Teng looked coldly at Li Kan and said fiercely.
"You..." Li Kan stared at Ma Teng and couldn't speak. He didn't expect that Ma Teng was so rampant. Although Han Sui was at a disadvantage, if he really broke the net, Ma Teng would not have a good result.
"What are you? If it hadn't been for your loyalty, I would have cut you with a knife. Get out of here." Ma Teng's face suddenly turned cold.
"Well, General, in this case, don't regret it." Li Kan turned around and went to Wuwei City with a cold snorting. He looked up and saw that the ropes put down from the tower had been cut off by the soldiers and horses under Ma Teng's command, and the place where he took out the gap was also filled by countless soldiers.
Knowing that he could not return to the city in a short time, Li Kan simply sat on the ground and looked coldly at the two sides of the fierce battle.
In terms of casualties, the party attacking the city can suffer far more casualties than the party defending the city. Even if Ma Teng is obsessed with it, it's just a broken net of fish, and Li is not a person who is afraid of death. Even his lord will certainly not give in.
"Hmm, do you really think you can win? Transfer all the soldiers and horses in the city. I'd like to see how Ma Teng captured my city. Han Sui, who was on the tower, snorted coldly and turned around and walked into the room.
Originally, I wanted to leave a part of my troops to protect myself, but now I have to take it out and fight with this Ma Teng. In my heart, I hate Cao Cao even more.
"Ha ha, why should General Han be angry?"
As soon as Han Sui walked into the room, he heard a voice coming out. Han Sui was immediately shocked. Who can get here?
"Who are you?" Han Sui squinted at the man in black hidden in the shadow not far away and said coldly.
"Ha ha, the general is in some trouble at this time?" The man in black smiled.
"Well, Ma Teng wants to break through the city, but it's not heavy enough. If you don't want to get out of this room, you can continue to talk." Han Sui said coldly.
"General Han is really brave. I came here on the order of my lord to ask the general?" The man in black said solemnly.
"Oh, who is your father-in-law?" Han Sui said.
"I'm from Jingzhou."
"Liu Qi, is it him?" Han Sui was shocked that Liu Qi's people were really surprised to come here.
"My lord asked me to ask the general, would you like to obey me, Jingzhou?" The voice of the man in black did not fluctuate at all, and he was extremely cold.
"Haha, don't you know if I have attached to Cao Cao?" Han Sui laughed and said.
"Is it obedience or not attachment, can the general understand?"
"How to be submissive and how to be attached?" Han Sui said with a smile.
"Concilience means that the general has no way out in the future, and he has no choice but to serve the Lord, but to obey means that he can get rid of control." The man in black said coldly.
"Haha, let your master fight off Cao Hong's tiger and leopard horse first." Han Sui shook his head and was really not optimistic about Jingzhou. He was at an absolute disadvantage in the face of tigers and leopards riding Jingzhou's soldiers and horses.
"At that time, I'm afraid there will be only one body left for the general, right?" The man in black pondered for a moment.
"You are looking for death!" Han Sui shouted coldly and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Ha ha, I didn't plan to leave or leave." The man in black sneered.
"How to choose is all in the mind of the general." The man in black continued.
"Enough, you can leave." Han Sui said coldly.
"So I'm going to say goodbye." With a strong disappointment in his tone, only a shadow flashed past the man in black and disappeared into the room.
"Huh, Jingzhou? I underestimated you. But compared with Cao Cao, you don't have an advantage. Han Sui shook his head and threw away the thoughts in his mind. At this time, he should think about how to get out.
"What on earth does General Cao think? If you don't go out, you will attack the city. Du Xi said anxiously in the post hall. In the past two days, Han Sui's attitude towards them was getting worse and worse, and even he felt that Cao Hong should send troops at this time.
"Maybe there are other plans." Yang Xiu also frowned and was full of worries. If Cao Hong did not come here, then the day the city was broken was the time when they died, and Han Sui would never let them go.
.....................................................................
Thirty miles away from Wuwei City, the sound of thick smoke and horseshoes shocked the sky. From afar, you can see a long dragon galloping across the wilderness at an extremely fast speed.
This long dragon is the tiger and leopard horse under Cao Hong's command. He pays close attention to the situation of Wuwei City. When Han Sui was about to hold on, Cao Hong finally did not hesitate to directly lead his tiger and leopard to Wuwei City.
"General, in 20 miles, it will be Wuwei City."
"Order the army to speed up and triple the number of scouts. We must not let Ma Teng find our trace." Cao Hong ordered that he chose to attack at this time when Ma Chao was far away from Wuwei, and it was difficult to return to help in a short time.
