Anding County, above the head of Linjing City.

Yang Qiu was actually a little skeptical about Wei Yan's words. He thought that since Ma Chao had withdrawn his troops, he shouldn't come back. Even if he knew that An Ding's incorporation into the Sili School Office was fake, he also knew that Pei Qing had taken this matter in his investigation. How brave could he have to fight Pei Qing? Besides, even if he did not care about Pei Qing's future revenge, Wei Yan would have tens of thousands of troops on the surface.

At this time, Yang Qiu didn't expect that Ma Teng's intelligence network was wider than him. He had known about the serious shortage of food in Guanzhong. Based on this, it was judged that Pei Qing would not be able to increase his troops. With Ma Chao's current military strength, it was not difficult to deal with them.

However, at this moment, a dull sound of horse hooves came from afar, and smoke and dust were rolled up on the distant horizon.

"Are you really here?" Seeing this scene, Yang Qiu couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't expect that Ma Chao would actually come back. It seems that he is not as good as Wei Yan's judgment.

Then Yang Qiu did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered the alarm to be sounded, and at the same time ordered the soldiers guarding the city to immediately climb the city to guard, and never let Ma Chao succeed in his treacherous plan.

Not long after, Ma Chao led his army to the city, but did not launch an attack immediately, but shouted loudly: "Yang Qiu, Wei Yan is still in the city? Let him come to see me quickly."

After knowing that a meal was over, Wei Yan came to the city leisurely and smiled at Ma Chao, "It turned out to be a major general. I didn't expect to meet again so soon. Haven't you retreated before? Why are you back again this time?"

Ma Chao shouted loudly: "Good you Wei Yan! You have brought thousands of people, but you actually tied branches behind the ponytail to deceive me, which made me think you have brought tens of thousands of people. Also, the stability of the present still belongs to my Yongzhou, but you said that you have been assigned to the Sili School Commander's headquarters. Where is the emperor's edict? You dare to lie to me, and I have discovered it today. What else can I say? If you know the image, you will tie yourself up and open the city to surrender, and maybe you can spare your life. Otherwise, you will definitely die without a place to bury!"

Seeing this, Wei Yan sneered and said, "Surrender is not an easy thing. This matter needs to be discussed carefully. Can the Major General give me a few days to consider it?"

Ma Chao nodded and was about to agree, but he saw Pang Shu next to him immediately said, "Major General, don't be fooled by him. He is deliberately delaying time. If there is any change during this period, we will go for nothing. Besides, the lord is very anxious about the attack on the city. He wants the Major General to capture Linjing within three days and completely control the entire Anding County within half a month. Twenty days later, he will attack Guo Si's Wuwei with General Han."

When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly woke up and pointed at Wei Yan and said loudly: "My son Wei Yan, you dare to use fraud against me until this time? How many days do you give you? Don't think about it, I will give you at most an incense stick of time to consider. If you don't agree to surrender after one incense stick, I will immediately order the city to siege. After the city is broken, I will definitely order the city to slaughter, so that the whole city will not be kept. All this is thanks to you. Even if they die, they will be caused by you."

Wei Yan laughed loudly after hearing this, "This is your usual trick by Major General, right? Since you have already murdered, even if I surrender, the people in the city will inevitably be massacred by you. So everything depends on you, not me, Wei Yan. All we can do is to defend the city so that you cannot attack the city. Only in this way can the people be truly safe. So, give up, we will not surrender!"

Ma Chao was furious and said to Wei Yan: "Hmph! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. I will definitely fulfill my promise. Just wash your necks and wait for you to be killed."

"Wash your neck? This is OK, but I wonder if you will give us the time to wash your neck? There are tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people in our city, and the wells are very limited. If you line up to wash your neck one by one, it will probably take at least half a month..."

"Shut up! You dare to spend time with me now? After the city is broken, I will ask you to pay twice the price!"

After Ma Chao said this, he immediately ordered the siege.

Then, tens of thousands of troops immediately launched a fierce attack on Linjing City like a tide.

Yang Qiu and Wei Yan did not dare to be negligent, and immediately led the army to defend. In an instant, they saw fierce fighting around Linjing City. For a moment, only the sound of clamoring, shouting, the sound of weapons, and the screams of dying soldiers were left. The scene of this scene was really unbearable to look at it.

Although Ma Chao ordered an attack, it was a bit hasty this time. Because when he was evacuating, many bulky siege equipment could not be taken away, so he burned it. Therefore, this time, the siege only brought some light siege equipment. Although Ma Chao had the advantage of military strength, it was impossible to break the city if there were insufficient siege equipment. Therefore, although Ma Chao had siege for nearly two hours in this battle, the final result was that except for leaving two or three thousand corpses, he did not achieve any effect.

"Hmph! Let's deal with you after I have built the siege equipment. See you tomorrow!" Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops and then prepared to build the siege equipment.

However, after they returned to the camp, they were surprised to find that the trees around several miles had been almost cut down. If they wanted to build siege equipment, they had to go further, and in this way, they would be destined to be unable to continue siege tomorrow.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that Wei Yan was so cunning. He cut down all the nearby trees and made you live one more day. But that doesn't matter. I will definitely conquer Linjing City the day after tomorrow. This is not considered a misleading father's order."

Ma Chao was ruthless in his heart and ordered people to go to a faraway place to cut down trees, build large siege equipment, and prepare to siege the city the day after tomorrow.

At this time, Yang Qiu and Wei Yan were naturally not idle either. They knew that this was a brief calm before the storm was approaching, and they had to seize this limited time to actively defend, so they also actively repaired the city defense and repaired the equipment, and prepared for the battle.

The third day came soon. This time, Ma Chao built many large siege equipment, in addition to siege crossbows, towers, sieves and other objects, even giants such as wells.

Ma Chao relied on these powerful weapons and became even more arrogant. He sneered and said, "I will give you another last chance. If it is not too late to surrender now, otherwise, today I will definitely keep you all Linjing City without leaving any family or family!"

However, a feather arrow flew over with lightning speed. If Ma Chao hadn't reacted quickly enough, the arrow would have already hit him in the face.

Ma Chao looked in shock and furiously, and saw Wei Yan holding a bent bow in his hand and shouting: "Stop talking nonsense, I will never surrender. If you have any skills, just use it."
