    After listening to Shi A¡¯s words, Ma Dai¡¯s expression changed several times.

    How could he not understand what Shi A just said?  Liu Bei's army was only strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and was no match for the King of Han.  What's more, there are also large armies stationed in Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng. Their retreat has been cut off, their food routes have been cut off, and now they can only sink their boats.

    "But the Han army had sufficient food and grass and complete defensive equipment, so they had no confidence that they would be able to capture Chengdu.

    If we fail this time, the Ma family in Xiliang may really be gone.

    "I am willing to listen to the advice of the King of Han!" Ma Dai bowed his hand to Shi A.

    "My master once said that General Fubo Ma Yuan made great contributions during the reign of Emperor Guangwu. Since then, the Ma family has been loyal and loyal for generations. Especially General Ma Teng, who led troops to serve the king during Dong Zhuo's rebellion and when the princes of the Central Plains were fighting.  , fought against the invasion of Xiqiang and other foreign tribes in Xiliang, even if His Majesty does not remember these achievements, the King of Han will never forget them."

    "Thank you, King Han!" After hearing these words, Ma Dai was deeply moved.  The Ma family guarded Xiliang, and many of their sons gave their blood and lives, but the court never gave any reward, not even an explanation.  But now the King of Han remembered it, how could he not be moved?  At this time, he also remembered that when the King of Han was the governor of Jingzhou, he gave them a lot of grain and grass, which was indeed a great favor to the Ma family of Xiliang.

    "My lord has said that Ma Chao is brave and invincible, and General Ma and Pang De are both wise and brave. You are all the pillars of my great Han Dynasty. As long as you surrender, I will let you be the generals of the Western Expedition in the future, and lead the troops independently to fight against the invasion of foreigners and carry out expeditions."  The Western Regions opened up territory for our great Han Dynasty, honored our ancestors, granted us wives and children, and left our names in history."

    Ma Dai was extremely excited. Everything Han Wang Liu Cong promised them was exactly what they thought.  He knew that his eldest brother Ma Chao did not want to compete in the Central Plains and conquer the world, but wanted to be his powerful general in Xiliang and impress the foreigners.

    "General Shi, please tell the King of Han that I will definitely convince my eldest brother Ma Chao to live up to the great kindness the King of Han has given us!" Ma Dai saluted Shi A again, "I don't know, how can I get in touch with Shi Jiangjun in the future?"

    "Don't worry, General Ma. Someone will definitely come to you when you need him!" Shi A smiled.

    "Are you from Tianwang Camp?" Ma Dai seemed to understand.

    Cao Cao¡¯s Ghost Soldiers, Sun Quan¡¯s Sky Eye, and Han Wang¡¯s Sky Net are the three most famous lying organizations in the world today. Their abilities are much greater than the previous scouts.

    In contrast, although Skynet was established later than Sky Eye and Ghost Pawn, it is more famous, and its ability to detect intelligence and the speed of transmitting information are higher than those of Ghost Pawn and Sky Eye.

    From Shi'a's words, it is not difficult to tell that the people from Tianwang camp have infiltrated into Liu Bei's army.

    ¡°General Shi, I¡¯ll take you away!¡±

    "No need!" Shi A smiled, "General Ma, your military camp must have been monitored by Liu Bei. You still have to be careful in everything you do. I can come and go at will, so you don't have to worry!"

    After Shi A finished speaking, he turned around and left the camp.

    When Ma Dai came to the gate of the camp, he found that Shi A had disappeared, and his four personal guards were still standing at the gate.

    "The King of Han really has a lot of talents under his command!" Ma Dai understood that Shi A's skill was considered the best among the rangers.

    The rapid sound of war drums outside the city rang again, and Liu Cong, Deng Ai, Fazheng and others came to the tower.

    "My lord, Ma Chao is about to attack the city!" Zhang Xiu, Meng Da and others were already prepared at the top of the city.

    "Ma Chao wants to attack the city?" Liu Cong frowned.

    News just came from Tianwang camp that they have made contact with Ma Dai, and Ma Dai is willing to surrender.  But why does Ma Chao want to attack the city at this time?

    The 10,000-strong army outside the city was divided into two teams and slowly approached the city. They were fully equipped with arrow towers, catapults, ladders, rams and other attack equipment. The two generals in front of the army were Pang De, Ma Dai and Ma Chao.  In the rear army.  Next to Ma Chao, there are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Wu Tu Gu, the leader of the Ugo Kingdom.

    All this shows that this time we are going to attack Chengdu City.

    However, the soldiers on the top of the city did not have the slightest fear. The siege was a war of attrition, in which the lives of soldiers were used to consume the equipment and soldiers of the defenders.  The Han army's defense equipment is fully equipped, and they are not afraid of wasting it at all.

    Ma Dai and Pang De led the front army of 5,000 troops. After arriving at the city, they quickly lined up the catapults. After loading the stones, they ordered to launch towards the top of the city.

    On the top of the city, Zhang Xiu and Meng Da directed the Han soldiers to carry out protection in an orderly manner.

    About a quarter of an hour later, the catapult stopped,Teams of soldiers pushed arrow towers, carried ladders and other siege equipment and rushed towards the city. The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides began.

    It was unclear whether the sound of the war drums was from the Han army or the soldiers outside the city. The cheers and shouts of encouragement were mixed together, and it was impossible to hear a single word.  Only the sounds of weapons clashing and screams were so harsh that it made people's hearts tremble involuntarily.

    Corpses filled the moat and began to pile up under the city, with blood flowing everywhere.

    As the war drums continue to beat, this primitive and barbaric killing will not stop.

    Although the people in the city had great confidence in the King of Han to defend Chengdu, they were also filled with fear at this time, closing their doors tightly and huddled in their houses.

    Finally, after losing more than 4,000 soldiers, the sound of gold was heard outside the city.

    The battered siege soldiers retreated like a tide.

    Despite the victory, Liu Cong was not excited at all. These casualties were all soldiers of the Han Dynasty!

    Next, both sides sent people to clean up the corpses and clean the battlefield as usual.

    Liu Cong, Fazheng, Deng Ai and others came to the study room of the Han Palace.

    "Ma Chao is really stubborn and has caused the death of many innocent soldiers. I will not spare him!" Liu Cong was furious.

    "Lord, calm down, something is a little strange today. No matter how ambitious Ma Chao is, he only has 20,000 troops under his command. Attacking the city regardless of casualties will not do him any good. My subordinates thought that this must be Liu Bei forcing Ma Chao to attack.  City." Fazheng said.

    "Yes, my lord, my subordinates discovered that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were beside Ma Chao. They must have been sent by Liu Bei to supervise the army!" Deng Ai also said.

    "Liu Bei!" At this time, Liu Cong hated Liu Bei deeply, and he even hated Zhuge Liang a little.

    Having reached the end of the road, does he really think there will be a turnaround like during the Battle of Chibi?  Now that the situation in the world is clear, doing so will only increase casualties.

    "Could it be that Liu Bei discovered that Ma Dai and Pang De had rebel intentions?" Liu Cong thought for a while and asked.

    "My subordinates thought that maybe Liu Bei was suspicious!" Fazheng also thought for a while, "If he really found out, he might directly seize Ma Chao's military power. After all, Liu Bei's men have an absolute advantage, and he has Zhang Fei,  A fierce general like Guan Yu."

    "What Xiao Nao said is right, you should hurry up and get in touch with the outside of the city, and take action earlier to avoid long nights and dreams!"

    "No!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
