This time, Wei Yan attacked Jincheng to plan to siege Wei to save Zhao. He must rescue him. He directly attacked Han Sui's nest. He had no choice but to go to rescue him. However, Han Sui also knew that if he just evacuated like this, his hard work for many days would be in vain. Therefore, Han Sui left his son-in-law Yan Xing to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard Guzang, and he led the remaining 10,000 people to rescue Jincheng urgently.

However, he did not expect that Han Sui was not far from leaving Guzang, and he encountered Wei Yan's ambush.

In fact, Han Sui also thought of meeting Wei Yan's ambush. However, in his opinion, when he wanted to meet an ambush, he would have to arrive at Jincheng at all, but he did not expect that the ambush was less than 200 miles away from Guzang City. This was really unexpected.

It is precisely because of the lack of preparation that the soldiers of the entire army were so panicked when they encountered an ambush.

This time, Wei Yan made full preparations. He made full use of the terrain and set up ambushers in a valley, burying crossbows from both sides of the valley to shoot the enemy, then threw thunderstones and rolling wood at the bottom of the mountain. After that, he threw dry firewood and torches down.

The loss of more than 2,000 people before made Wei Yan really popular. Although most of these more than 2,000 people were newly recruited Xiliang Army and Township Warriors, they were also soldiers under Wei Yan's subordinates, representing Wei Yan's record and face. Therefore, Wei Yan made such a cruel decision and launched such a fierce ambush against Han Sui's army.

Han Sui suffered heavy losses in this battle. About half of the 10,000 people died here. These soldiers were either shot to death by crossbows, stones, or burned to death by fire. They were all terrible, just like hell on earth.

"A moment of carelessness caused such heavy losses. I really regret it." Seeing the soldiers under his command, seeing his side's losses so much today, Han Sui sighed and regretted it. His moment of carelessness caused such irreparable losses. Not only did he fail to save Jincheng, but he caused such a disastrous defeat. He was really shameless to see others.

After leading the army to retreat, Han Sui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What should we do now?"

The general Cheng Gongying said, "Lord, at this point, we have no other way. We can only turn to Guzang. Wei Yan asked our family to ask him for it. We took the opportunity to occupy the entire Wuwei County, cut off his retreat, and cut off his food route. What if he got our family? In the end, isn't it a dead end?"

When Han Sui heard this, his eyes lit up. He had to say that this was a good idea. However, Han Sui was deeply worried, allowing Wei Yan to control the families of the soldiers in the army. This was a very dangerous thing. If he accidentally repeated Guo Si's mistakes, the entire army would fall apart overnight.

Han Sui told his concerns, but saw Cheng Gongying laughing and said, "It was Wei Yan's siege at the beginning, and Guo Si had no choice but to retreat. However, once the lord occupied Wuwei and cut off Wei Yan's retreat, Wei Yan would be the one who encountered difficulties. At that time, he had to be on guard against the attack of our army outside and guard against the chaos of his family inside. At the same time, he would also face the dilemma of insufficient food and supplies. His failure was inevitable. We only need to be on guard against Pei Qinghui leading the army to help, and we will definitely win the final victory of this battle!"

Han Sui was overjoyed when he heard this and clapped his hands and praised: "Gongying, you are my think tank. Since that's the case, let's take a break and then return to Guzang. As for Jincheng, I'll give it to him. Anyway, we won't suffer any loss by exchanging Jincheng for Wuwei."

At this time, Cheng Gongying said, "My lord, as far as the general is concerned, we should try to minimize rest and rush to Guzang directly. The general always thinks that Wei Yan is not simple, and he may not necessarily attack Jincheng. If he leads his army to Guzang directly and takes the opportunity to trick Guzang City, then we will have a waste of hard work and will have to suffer so many years of losses."

But Han Sui said, "Wei Yan's son has always liked to threaten the defenders with his family, which quickly led to the collapse of the other party. Guo Si was an example before. Moreover, we are defeated now. It is not so easy to occupy Guzang, because there is my female patrol guarding Yan Xing. Not to mention anything else, with his courage and the thousands of soldiers in the city, it is still fine to guard for three or five days. Once our army arrives, he will be at risk of being wiped out from both sides and outside the city. Compared with the two, one is easy and the other takes huge risks. How should he choose? So in my opinion, Wei Yan's son will definitely choose to attack Jincheng. Besides, our army has been defeated and morale has not yet recovered. Even if they are allowed to go all out to Guzang, it may be difficult to do it."

"This..." Cheng Gongying was silent for a moment after hearing this, because what Han Sui said was the truth. The current state of the soldiers in the army made them marching urgently, so Cheng Gongying then sighed: "I hope I was just worried about everything before, but no matter what, our marching speed should be as fast as possible."

"This is naturally. If we were fast enough, Wei Yan might not have time to occupy Jincheng." Han Sui did not object to this, so he ordered the soldiers to rest for a day and return to Guzang early tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, Han Sui did not directly tell these soldiers that they would return to Guzang, otherwise these soldiers would have mood swings, and someone might have fled in the middle of the night. After all, their families are still in Jincheng, and they are also worried about the safety of their families.

However, Han Sui didn't know that it was the delay of this night that made him lose the opportunity to control Wuwei forever, because Wei Yan did not stop after his victory and immediately led his army to Guzang. Although he also knew that this was an excellent opportunity to occupy Jincheng, Wei Yan knew even more that occupying Guzang and controlling Wuwei was his biggest goal of this trip. As long as he firmly controlled Wuwei, Jincheng would sooner or later belong to his side.

The soldiers under Wei Yan's command had just won a big victory and their morale was in high spirits. In addition, the soldiers under him had dried food and bacon prepared by Pei Qing for them, which was easy to carry and could quickly replenish their physical strength, so they could set off immediately without feeling tired.

Because he was advancing at full speed and because the war horses were given sufficient rest during the ambush, Wei Yan's army marched very quickly and arrived at the city of Guzang in just one day.

It was the time to dusk, because Wei Yan and the others were wearing armor picked up from Han Sui's killing soldiers, and they were beaten by Han Sui's generals. In addition, it was at night that they could not see clearly. The Yan surname, who was stationed in Guzang City, thought it was his own. He only asked about the name and purpose of the commander under the city, but was easily fooled by Wei Yan. After all, a few people in this team surrendered to Wei Yan, so Wei Yan could naturally easily learn the name of Han Sui's generals. As for the purpose, it was actually very simple. Wei Yan only said that Han Sui was worried that Guzang City's defense was weak and he was uneasy, so he transferred them into the city to coordinate the defense.
