The Wei army had hoarded grain and grass in the city of Mayi for two months, and now that they were retreating, they naturally couldn't take these things with them.

If you want to take it away, the first time is not enough, the power of the return cannon is too great, before sunset, you can blast the north gate of Mayi, and it takes time to load the grain and grass to take away, not to say that you can put it in your pocket, and take it away.

Second, even if these grain and grass baggage have been prepared, the Wei army can't take it, because there are Han troops eyeing them on the side, if they bring grain and grass baggage, and the Han army catches up, these things will become a burden to the Wei army, and no one will be able to leave at that time, let alone these grain and grass baggage.

Therefore, Qin Lang ordered that in addition to carrying a set of weapons, each soldier should take some food that would not affect his movements, and burn all other things that he could not take away.

What the Wei army could take away was only one-tenth and two-tenth of the total amount of grain and grass, and the remaining eighty percent could only be burned.

By noon, thick black smoke rose from the city.

The Han army was arrayed not far from the city, and when they saw the black smoke in the city, they laughed and said, "What is the situation?" Why is there still water in the city? ”

Ma Chao said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, it must be that Qin Lang is about to retreat, and he can't take away the grain and grass, so he burns it, and I don't want to leave it to our army after the city is broken." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said: "Well, it seems that Qin Lang is planning to withdraw from the army, he is also ruthless, so much grain and grass will be burned if he says that he will burn it, but since he is willing to burn it, I can't say that he has to suffer." The order went down, and immediately let the Marquis of Tho Luo lead his troops back. ”

The Marquis of Tho Luo was not far from here, but after a while, he led his troops over.

"I don't know what is important when Your Majesty is urgently summoned to come down?"

Liu Chan pointed to Mayi City and said, "You saw the black smoke in the city, right?" ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Hou Luohou looked at Ma Yi, looked at it for a while, and said, "Your Majesty's return cannon is so powerful, presumably you can break through the north gate before tonight." Qin Lang will definitely retreat before this, and he still has a lot of grain and grass in the city, which he will definitely not be able to take away, and now the black smoke is billowing in the city, could it be that he is burning the grain and grass? ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "What the leader of the Marquis of Tho Luo said is good. ”

Tho Luohou's face was a little worried when he heard this: "Since Qin Lang has burned the grain and grass, he must be planning to withdraw from the army, His Majesty summoned me over, didn't he want to ......"

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "It's not to pursue the Wei army, you think about it, now that the Wei army has burned the grain and grass baggage, the soldiers must not have much food, if I block the Wei army in the city, their grain and grass baggage cannot be maintained."

It will take three or five days to be slaughtered, and such a result will definitely be greater than the pursuit of the Wei army, don't you say? If you can inflict heavy damage, or annihilate the soldiers and horses in this city, in the future, the north of Wei will no longer be able to stop my Han, nor will it be able to threaten you Xianbei. ”

Hearing this, Hou Luohou's face became even more unsightly.

Qin Lang withdrew from Mayi, if he led his troops to pursue, it would be relatively simple, and the battle would not be fierce.

Now that Qin Lang has burned the grain and grass again, Liu Chan wants to block the city gate and trap the Wei army in the city, the scale of the battle will be large, and the Wei army's will to survive is super strong, and it will definitely resist fiercely and desperately break through.

Now that Liu Chan has called him over, doesn't he want him to go to block the Wei army?

Liu Chan glanced at Hou Luohou, and when he saw his face, he knew

Hou Luo Hou was reluctant to contribute, Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "This time, you Xianbei and my Han alliance agreed to send troops together to deal with the Wei State, now this is a great opportunity, how can you miss it?" You Xianbei is unwilling to contribute, could it be that he has no sincerity to form an alliance? ”

Hou Luo Hou was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the Wei army has no grain and grass, if the door is blocked and trapped, they will definitely break through desperately, and I Xianbei will definitely suffer heavy casualties." ”

Liu Chan smiled: "You don't have to worry about this at all, I guarantee that there will not be too many casualties." ”

Hou Luo Hou asked, "Then I don't know what Your Majesty plans to do?" ”

Liu Chan muttered: "I have a hundred return cannons, each of which can be arranged with twenty-five guns, to bombard the head of the city, so as to prevent the Wei army from shooting at our army at the head of the city. We each sent 20,000 cavalry, 10,000 men each, and took turns to resist the Wei army breaking through.

The rest of the soldiers and horses in your camp can continue to collect boulders to maintain the return cannon. In addition, you Xianbei did not have a fierce general to suppress the formation, and when your Xianbei cavalry went into battle to block the Wei army, I will send my Han general to suppress the formation. ”

Tho Luohou looked at Ma Yi City, Ma Yi City said that it is not big, it is not small, twenty-five trebuchets, if arranged on both sides of the city gate, one every ten steps, can prevent the Wei army with the city gate as the center, within two hundred and fifty arrows.

As for being far away, it is more than 100 paces, and it may not be able to shoot over, even if it is, it is not very powerful, and the leather armor can completely defend and cause no damage to the soldiers.

And the city gate of Mayi is not big, and there are not many soldiers and horses rushing at one time, there are strong generals of the Han Dynasty to take the lead, and the cavalry under his command can't kill or wound many people.

Thinking of this, Hou Luohou nodded and said, "Your Majesty is clever in using soldiers, and you are willing to obey Your Majesty's orders." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Chan smiled with satisfaction, and immediately ordered: "Order Wei Yan, let him leave twenty-five return cannons at the north gate, and the other three guns each carry twenty-five return cannons, and on both sides of the city gate, set up one in ten steps to prevent Wei archers."

Zhao Yun, E Huan, you two led 5,000 cavalry to the south gate, responsible for blocking the Wei army from leaving the city through the south gate. Lin Xiao, Ling Tong, you two led 5,000 cavalry to the east gate, responsible for blocking the Wei army from the east gate, Ma Chao, Zhao Tong, you two led 5,000 cavalry to the west gate, responsible for blocking the Wei army from the west gate. Lin Yuan, Zhao Guang, you two led 5,000 cavalry to stay at the north gate, responsible for blocking Wei from leaving the city from the north gate.

The rest of the soldiers, horses, and generals defended the Chinese army and acted at the opportune time. ”

"No!" Eight generals came out, these generals are all fierce generals of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Lin Xiao, Lin Yuan Needless to say, they are fierce generals at the level of five tiger generals, and they are invincible in the world in martial arts. The rest of Ling Tong, E Huan, Zhao Tong, and Zhao Guang are also first-class generals, and they are responsible for leading troops to block the door, and the Wei army cannot go out of the city at all.

After Liu Chan gave the order, he looked at Hou Luohou.

Hou Luohou hurriedly ordered to his generals: "Divide 20,000 cavalry, and send 5,000 cavalry from each gate." ”

"No!"

Immediately, the Han and Xianbei soldiers and horses took action.

However, after a while, there were 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the four gates of Mayi City, and Wei Yan also mobilized seventy-five return cannons from the north gate to the other three, each with twenty-five return cannons.

In the center of the city of Mayi, soldiers came with loads of grain and grass and threw them into the fire.
