Although a group of subordinates firmly believed in Wei Lian, Zhou Yuanan was still a little worried.

But--

Everyone trusts the Lord so much. If he doesn't trust him, isn't he too unsocial? So later, Zhou Yuanan also believed.

However, he said that the Marquis of Xuanping had sufficient preparations this time. All the troops originally sent to expand the territory to attack the city were recalled by him, and the base camp also left enough troops to prevent sneak attacks from other surrounding forces.

Looking at the world, except for the strength of King Xiliang who can fight against him, other forces are far from him. Even the 200,000 soldiers of Wei Lian, Xuanping Marquis did not pay attention.

After learning from Xuanping Hou that Wei Lian was the one who deceived him, Mr. Qingfeng, he could not wait to immediately lead his troops to attack Tongzhou, and then smash this little thief who dared to fool him into pieces!

And the traitor Yan Song, he will cut off his head, hang it on the city wall, and expose it to the sun for three days and three nights, so that everyone knows what the fate of Marquis Xuan Ping will be if they betray him!

Now the main force of Wei Lian and the Wei army are in the area of ​​Cangzhou Hucheng. If they want to return, it will take two days to get back, not to mention that the Wei army has many infantry and lacks horses the most.

In seven or eight days, the main force of the Wei army would not be able to come back at all.

As for the reinforcements of the city near Ancheng, Xuanping Hou did not pay attention to it.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was deceived by the little thief Wei Lian, and asked Yan Song to take away 50,000 elite soldiers and a group of war horses, it would be extremely difficult for this little thief to get so many soldiers and horses if he knew how to calculate.

Hehe, Wei Lian is just a thief, it's hard to get into the elegant hall, and the group of soldiers under him are just a group of rabble.

Seeing that his army was about to arrive in Tongzhou, the Marquis of Xuanping and his advisors together decided to take Ancheng in Tongzhou without avoiding it.

Ancheng was the first city captured by the small thief Wei at the beginning, and it was of extraordinary significance to the Wei army. The Marquis of Xuanping planned to destroy the prestige of the small thief Wei.

What's more, Marquis Xuanping has received the exact news that Ancheng has only a mere 10,000 people stationed in the city, but he has an army of 300,000.

"When Ben Marquis takes Ancheng, all the supplies in Ancheng will be robbed by Ben Marquis! And all the men in Ancheng will be killed by Ben Marquis, not a single one is left!" Xuanping Marquis said.

Ancheng is too far from Xuanpinghou's base, and his influence has not yet spread here. Even if Ancheng was captured, Xuanping Marquis would not be able to control this place. After all, Tongzhou was Wei Lian's territory, and Xuanping Marquis could not leave his base camp and run so far to fight Wei Lian for a long time.

The reason why Xuanping Marquis chose to attack Ancheng at this time was just to catch Wei Lian by surprise, in order to avenge the revenge of cheating soldiers and food that day. Therefore, after taking Ancheng, he will turn it into an empty city!

Several counselors looked at each other and couldn't bear it.

A counselor said: "Master Hou, the grass people think that children under ten years old and old people over fifty years old should not be killed."

The Marquis of Xuanping said angrily: "If you don't kill it, leave it to the Wei army to make up for it, and then turn it around and kill us? You can kill the enemy in two or three years at the age of eight or nine, and you can participate in the war even if you are in your fifties. This Marquis did not order the massacre. , is already kind!"

"But Lord Hou—"

"You don't have to persuade him again! Wei Xiaoqiu is too deceiving. This time, this marquis will make him regret what he did that day!"

Several counselors did not think so.

Although Wei Lian pretended to be Mr. Qingfeng and defrauded Marquis Xuanping of 200,000 stone grains and forages, and took away 50,000 elite soldiers from General Yan Song, Wei Lian also made a plan to help Marquis Xuanping seize several The city has saved a lot of manpower and material resources.

In this way, it can be completely offset.

However, for Marquis Xuanping, he only remembers one loss in terms of gain and loss.

"Yuanyuan, that dog-day Xuanping Marquis really intends to attack Ancheng." Xiaotang said in a loud voice.

Nan Yuan reminded, "Don't speak dirty words, little brat."

Xiaotang changed his words, "The vicious Xuanping Hou Ruyuan, as expected, was about to attack Ancheng, and the army was already stationed ten miles away from Ancheng. After capturing Ancheng, he would bring his soldiers into the city to burn, kill and loot, especially to kill them all. All the men in the city, even the elderly and children are spared!"

Nan Yuan's eyes were slightly cold, and she said lightly: "It was expected."

She lurked beside Xuanping Marquis for many days, for more than the 200,000 stone grain and 50,000 elite soldiers of Yan Song, she asked for more.

The character of Marquis Xuanping has long been figured out by Nan Yuan. Not only Marquis Xuanping, but even the advisors and generals around Marquis Xuanping, what is the relationship between each other, the strengths and weaknesses of each person, she knows very well.

Just as the Duke of Xuanping came to attack the city this time, which city he wanted to attack, and who the people he was bringing with him were all as Nan Yuan expected.

Therefore, Nan Yuan's statement that the Marquis of Xuan Ping would lose everything is not a big deal.

In the middle of the night, someone suddenly shouted in the military camp where the Marquis of Xuanping was stationed: "It's not good, the grain and grass are running out of water, the grain and grass are running out of water—"

It is customary for the grain and grass in the Xuanpinghou military camp to be stacked separately, the grain is stacked together, the hay eaten by the war horses is stacked together, and then sent to guard.

Tonight's water, the soldiers first rescued food, after all, horses are not as good as humans.

So that, in the end, the food was put out in time to put out the fire, but there was not much hay left for the horses to eat.

The Marquis of Xuanping was furious.

The soldiers guarding the food and forage had no idea that they strictly guarded the food and forage and never let anyone approach!

Unless, there are traitors in their barracks!

The Marquis of Xuan Ping was furious, and on the principle that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one person go, he executed the group of soldiers on duty guarding the food and grass, a total of more than 100 people.

More than 100 people, said no, no. In the military camp, people were panicked for a while.

The food and grass were burned, so Xuanping Hou had to fight quickly.

Before the siege of the city, the war horses should have been fed again, but now, there is not enough hay, and the Marquis of Xuanping did not feed the horses.

In the view of Marquis Xuanping, the city is only a mere security. With an army of 300,000 people, he can take the city in half a day.

The next day, when the Marquis of Xuanping ordered people to beat drums to invite battle, the guards of Ancheng stayed behind closed doors, but erected a row of large shields on top of the city wall. After blocking it so that they couldn't see the shield, what the guards were doing.

Marquis Xuanping didn't think too much, no matter what these people were secretly planning, his army of 300,000 people would destroy this city today!

"Capper ready!"

After Xuanping Hou gave an order, an exhaust of catapults drove into the range, and the boulders were thrown out by the catapults and smashed onto the city wall.

But the next moment, Xuanping Hou was dumbfounded.

The boulders were thrown out, all of them smashed onto the large shield erected on the city wall, and then rolled down from the city wall, and some of them even bounced back and hit his soldiers.

Even the few catapults in his army with a long range and a high range, the stones thrown only barely hit the top of the big shield, and they still couldn't get past it!

Between the lights and flint, Xuanping Hou suddenly remembered something.

When Wei Lian was still Qingfeng, this man often went to his army to observe various drills and drills of soldiers.

The Marquis of Xuanping was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Ah ah ah, God-killed Wei Xiao thief, this marquis will smash your corpse into ten thousand pieces!
