Chapter 178
Ma Yuan hated Geng Yan more and more. Although this little boy Cao had outstanding skills and was good at fighting, he was just like his uncle Geng Chun, who was different from the inside and outside and was shy.
He actually said something to Ma Yuan: "Ma Fujun Zhao She did not conquer Wu'an at the beginning. Later, Qin Wu'an defeated the second Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo and killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers. This shows that Wu'an naturally defeated the horse and subdued it."
Now Ma Fujun's descendants Ma Yuan came to fight Wu'an. According to the military Yin and Yang family, they promoted the morality of punishment and attacked with the fight. Because of the five victories, it was absolutely impossible. It would be better to give him the command power, and Ma Yuan retreated to the second line to escort the food and grass...
These words aroused Ma Yuan's competitive spirit. After all, he was the commander-in-chief appointed by the fifth rein, so he happily ordered Geng Yan to attack the Li family fort twenty miles away.
Geng Yan left with five hundred soldiers, which surprised Wan Xiu: "Wenyuan is not a person who ruined business because of a small holiday. Now our army is short of people, why do we still have to divide the troops and let Geng join the army leave?"
Although they easily attacked Shexian County, Wushi mainly caught the enemy off guard. However, now there are bandits who escaped into the forest and have not yet been cleared, so the thief Cao Cao's clerk Zhao Shi must lead 500 people to guard Wushi.
As a result, Geng Yan was sent away again, and Ma Yuan and Wan Xiuhe soldiers were left at the city, and they could not surround a corner of Wu'an.
On the other hand, the enemy was the old nest of the Li family. The family had been operating and reproducing for hundreds of years. The foundation was very solid, with more than a thousand disciples. It also promoted the royal army generals to slaughter Wu'an, and took over the county soldiers and mobilized the Haoyou inside and outside the city to resist. There were at least four or five thousand people behind the four walls.
The military strategy is ten to surround it, and the attack is twice as big as the enemy. Attacking the city is a tough battle. The attacking side is ten times more powerful than the enemy, and it is often useless, let alone this number of people?
Ma Yuan smiled and said, "Don't I know that two thousand people can never conquer Wu'an."
Wan Xiu said: "Is it not too late to attack again when Bo Yu arrives with his soldiers and soldiers?"
"Boyu must be on guard against Zhao Liu in Liangqi. If he can't escape, even if one or two thousand people are sent, he will still fight for a long time and suffer heavy losses."
Ma Yuan was actually a little embarrassed to say that he was a good player in the field of Sebei, but he had never attacked the city before.
Even if he deduced it in advance, it was just the "paper talk" mentioned by the fifth reunion. Although Ma Yuan didn't know what paper was, he didn't know that his son-in-law was also insulting Ma in front of him.
Wu'an is actually a basin, with Mingshui surrounding the city, surrounded by rivers on the south and east sides, and has a natural moat. The city wall is as high as three meters high, almost comparable to the county city.
No wonder hundreds of years ago, Lao Ma's subjugation Zhao She would rather go to the throne and fight head-on than spend money in Wu'an and the Qin army.
So it is impossible to attack hard. It is also a dream to attack the heart and wait for the city to change. There is only one way to attack Wu'an before the autumn harvest in August.
Ma Yuan said: "Show the enemy is weak and let him take the initiative!"
Wan Xiu suddenly realized: "Wenyuan deliberately drove Geng Ganjun away for this reason?"
Ma Yuan told Wan Xiu: "Not only Geng Yan left, I will leave too."
He pointed to the tilted high ground in the northwest and said, "I will take a thousand tribes to attack the iron official slaves twenty miles away from the northwest."
Iron smelting is the pillar industry of Wu'an and the main source of iron tools in Weicheng County. The Li family spent more than a hundred years in charge of the cast iron industry. As iron officials for generations, they have managed thousands of iron slaves. They are also prisoners, digging iron ore in the dark mine pit, blowing wind beside the high-temperature stove, and picking up iron hammers and hitting iron thousands of times.
Li Neng armed these people, and should not be underestimated.
But they did not pull the Iron Official Slaves close. On the one hand, they did not have complete trust in them, and on the other hand, they wanted the Iron Official Slaves to occupy the high ground and support each other with Wu'an County.
This soldier is a hidden danger from the rear, so Ma Yuan decided to pull it out first.
Ma Yuan looked at the military officers who were in charge of the tribe with tattoos on their faces, and they were criminally-born: "Some of them worked in the Wu'an Iron Workshop and were familiar with the road. The people of Wu'an County were afraid of our slaughter, so they followed Li Neng to resist. However, the iron slaves were already treated harshly and would not serve the Li family just because they suddenly had a few full meals. Bo Yu would not mention anything else, but the reputation among the slaves and prisoners is very good. Let me try it if they can turn against him."
In this way, only Wan Xiu and more than a thousand pigs will be left behind by the Wu'an City.
Wan Xiu understood that he was the "weak" that Ma Yuan wanted to show.
Ma Yuan handed over the most important task to Wan Xiu, and he had his own reasons: "The Li family did not understand the reality of our army. The militiamen had not long been formed. They fought casually in Wushi, but they still had a chaotic battle and could not withstand the tough battles and the enemy, but Zhu Tufeng was brave and brave."
"Those who were brought up by Bo Yu, and they followed Jun You to fight against the Huns in the frontier. Their training has not been lost. They have experienced a big battle."
"Even if I heard that the morale of the army was a little disintegrated later, the journey from Xin Qinzhong to Weicheng County was thousands of miles but it had not collapsed, and it was once again tied up."
The future of the Zhu Tufengshang people has long been associated with the fifth relationship. In this strange land, they have no way out.
"I use the pig to bravely lure the enemy out of the city. Once the wolf smoke comes here, I will turn back immediately, and the chariots and cavalry are taken away by Geng Yan. He is good at cavalry battles and can return to help at any time."
But before the reinforcements came back, Wan Xiu had to hold back the powerful armed forces who could leave the city to counterattack at any time. The enemy might have two thousand, three thousand or even four thousand. How long does it take for them to hold on? Maybe it was one hour, maybe two hours.
If Seventh Biao was present, he would definitely rush to agree, because he was full of desire to compete with the newcomers around Di Wulun.
But Wan Xiu didn't care much about those, and he couldn't bear to be killed or injured by Zhu Tufeng, and some of them could not accept that they had to bear the tough battle alone after traveling thousands of miles. He was easy to say, and perhaps some soldiers would be confused in their hearts: "Why?"
This battle requires Zhu Tufeng to work together, but how can we persuade his subordinates to fight this battle with huge military disparity?
"Boyu also agreed to this combat strategy. He asked me to hand it over to you."
Ma Yuan handed the letter sent by the fifth reunion to Wan Xiu. After Wan Xiu took out the bamboo slips and looked at them, he opened his eyes wide.
Above is a promise, a promise to the Pig Tufeng Warriors.
Wan Xiu had always been steady and steady, but at this moment he was a little excited, even his hands were trembling, and he only bowed to Ma Yuan.
"Wenyuan, don't worry, and hand over Wu'an to us."
"In this battle, Zhu Tufeng must fight!"
...
At the same time, a transaction has just begun in Yecheng.
The head of the family of the first hero of Yecheng, the old man Ximen Yanshou, personally took the horse and came to the county government with a dove stick. As soon as he met, he complained to Geng Chun.
"This is a letter sent by Li Neng. This rebel traitor actually wanted to use this hot thing to harm the Simen family."
"I didn't even take it apart, so I immediately sent it to Geng Juncheng."
Geng Chun took the letter and found that the seal on it had not been revealed yet. Of course, it might have been forged after reading it.
Since the other party intended this, Geng Chun didn't read the content above and threw the letter into the fire and burned it into charcoal: "Since that's the case, what content in the letter is no longer important. Instead of being spoken by Li Tiehuahua's sweet tone, it's better to let them all turn into ashes."
Ximen Yanshou raised his head and looked at the young county magistrate in surprise. After being attacked by the fifth reunion, Li Neng not only asked for help from Zhao Liu, but also the old relatives of Wei Cheng County sent people to cross mountains and rivers to walk along small roads to help. The content of the letter was nothing more than the Wei Cheng powerful men who were dying of their lips and teeth. Today, the fifth reunion can defeat the Li family and tomorrow they can also deal with the Ximen family.
But Ximen Yanshou felt that the reason why Li Neng was today was that his family was too greedy and wanted to compete for power with the county magistrate and control the Wei territory, so he remained with the fifth reunion. As for the Ximen family, they were willing to consolidate their original status and did not intend to go further. The fifth reunion has been respectful to his family this year, promoted their children to be officials, and sent silk to Ximen Yanshou during festivals. They also visited the Ximen Bao Dafu Temple many times, erected stone tablets to express their achievements, and served the Ximen family very comfortably.
The Ximen family was not known for their force. The legitimate son Gongcao Ximen Ping and several children were deliberately taken by Di Wu Lun as hostages. Li Neng wanted to pull them back and stabbed Di Wu Lun, but he was really ill and rushed to seek medical treatment.
The reason why Ximen Yanshou immediately betrayed Li Neng was because...

When Zhao and Liu did not help the Li family, the fifth family still had a better chance of winning. After entering the Dihuang for the third year, the foreign counties became more and more chaotic. At this time, his internal strife gave the foreign thieves the opportunity to enter Wei territory. Those who suffered losses were still the powerful people.
Compared with the civil war in Wei County, they hoped that the fifth man could be the agent of the powerful and keep the peace in the country.
In addition, the fifth reunion did not make drastic reforms in a year, but everything was the same. But the only thing that worried the powerful was that the fifth reunion would be able to manage these people well in the future?
After expressing the attitude of the Ximen family to Geng Chun today, Ximen Yanshou also wanted to say goodbye, but he looked back at Geng Chun, who was born in the Songzi family.
"I hope the fifth duke can pacify Li Neng as soon as possible, and then foster Xiongjie, and join forces with great talent like Geng Juncheng, as well as the right-ranking county of the county to govern Wei together, and control the red eyebrows outside and the thieves inside!"
...
As Geng Yan and Ma Yuan's soldiers left one after another, some noise sounded in the originally quiet Zhu Tufeng brave army.
"Aren't you going to attack this city together? Why did Captain Ma and the Geng leave?"
"Didn't you notice? Those who left were all newly recruited soldiers from the fifth duke in Wei. Those who stayed were all our Zhu Tufeng brave veterans."
The fifth relationship is indeed a boring old man. Later generations come to the forefront and ask horses to take the new recruits from Wei to pick up soft persimmons, leaving the hard city for them to chew.
Who doesn’t know that if you fight such a strong city, you will suffer heavy losses. Seeing this, everyone feels uncomfortable.
What's more, there were only more than a thousand people left in the city, and there were several times more people. What if Li Neng took the opportunity to send troops out of the city to attack?
The next morning, after confirming that Ma Yuan had indeed left, with a drum beat, the Wu'an city gate opened wide. Li Neng could not help but leave the city. The powerful armed forces and the apprentices, the county soldiers were mixed together, and their equipment was not bad. They lined up in front of the city walls, and there were crossbowmen on the top of the city.
Wan Xiu also made people beat the drum beats. Even though the Zhu Tufeng brave men had their own ideas, they still quickly as they trained and fought in recent years. They just watched the more and more enemy soldiers gather outside Wu'an City, and they were still a little scared.
"Reinforcements arrived in a short while!"
Wan Xiu asked Di Seventh Biao and others to inform the teams to prepare for the battle, and also announced the promise of Di Fifth Reun to them.
"The Fifth Duke said that as long as you can win this battle, everyone will be rewarded by Zhu Tufeng brave men who travel thousands of miles to help!"
What would they reward? Everyone looked at each other but their interest was not very high. They were no longer hungry prisoners and servants three years ago. After a few good days, their demands also increased. A few mouthfuls of full meals could not coax everyone to work hard.
"Is it cloth?"
Money is no longer money, cloth is hard currency.
"Is it because they were like talking about kissing the military officers in the New Qin Dynasty, each of them was sent to each other?" Someone laughed and said, most of the people who came to Wan Xiu were bachelors.
But they never expected that what the fifth relationship promised was to make the hard-eared pigs and brave men even more eager for something that was out of reach.
Something that can make them fall into madness and temporarily forget life and death.
The enemy has formed a formation and will rush over at any time, and Wan Xiu also let someone tell the soldiers loudly.
"The Fifth Duke said that as long as you destroy the Li family and seize Wu'an, Zhu Tufeng was brave, everyone can get a piece of it according to the contributions of this battle."
"Own...land!"
