For the Han soldiers on the city, the thick smoke was the arrival of reinforcements, and for them, the reinforcements were naturally the hope of victory. In other words, with our own reinforcements, is there still a need to be afraid of the Liangzhou army?

Therefore Wenpin continued to shout, "Brothers, our reinforcements are here, kill me, victory is ours!"

Ma Dai frowned when he saw this, and he knew that today's situation was over. He clearly had already taken good care of Wei Yan, but Wei Yan still had a way. He really should not underestimate him.

Ma Dai had no choice but to shout to the soldiers, "The whole army retreated!"

The other party had a strong morale. Even if the soldiers of his side came up, their morale had declined when they saw the thick smoke in the distance. This was definitely not what Ma Dai wanted to see, so he made a quick decision and retreated directly with his men.

Wen Pin didn't chase him, after all, he knew that it was useless. It would be better to clean the city and think about what happened next.

-----------------------------------------------------

When the smoke rose, Ma Chao also discovered it, but it was not him who discovered it first, but Guo Jia. He turned around inadvertently and discovered the situation.

"Lord, look, it seems that the war is happening today..."

As soon as Ma Chao heard Guo Jia's words, he looked back, and he immediately understood. It seemed that today is really timeless. God did not give him a chance. Although he did not expect to break the city today, it was too unworthy of giving him face. Wei Yan clearly said that he had not allowed him to convey the message, but he used another method to notify Wenpin from Lingyang City.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly at his lord, "Lord. It seems that this Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang are indeed not easy to deal with. We have to be cautious when confronting us in our army!”

When Ma Chao heard this, he kept nodding, and Guo Jia said again: "Lord, General Bo Zhan has already led his troops down. Our soldiers are not in good spirits, so it is better to withdraw early!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Ma Chao had no choice but to order the soldiers: "Ming Jin, stop the troops!"

"promise!"

Not only Ma Chao, but even the generals and many Liangzhou soldiers saw the thick smoke behind them. Although they were not close, it was not difficult to think of anything. If you couldn't even think of this, then don't hang out in the Liangzhou army. Ma Dai brought his troops back, and Ma Chao called out and everyone retreated.

Seeing Ma Chao retreat, a burst of cheers erupted from the head of Lingyang City. "The enemy has retreated!"

"The dog in Liangzhou has retreated!"

...

Wen Pin clenched his right fist and smashed the battlement of the city wall hard. He thought he was finally leaving, otherwise he would not know how many casualties would be. The news of the reinforcements came in time, fortunately.

-----------------------------------------------------

Ma Chao brought everyone back to the camp. As a result, Cui An and Fei Yi from the camp saw that their lord were coming back with their men, they also recalled the thick smoke from the past. Obviously, because the other party knew that their reinforcements were coming, under the high morale of the Han army, their side naturally did not get any advantage.

Everyone entered the tent and sat down. Ma Dai said indignantly: "Lord, if it weren't for the thick smoke that caused the morale of the guards on the city to rise sharply, our army wouldn't have been defeated so quickly!"

Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "Bozhan, don't complain. The situation on the battlefield is changeable and ever-changing. This is not a strange thing or impossible thing. So what I mean is that today our army's three battles failed, but it is not a bad thing. At least it made me and everyone understand that even if it had a little advantage before, it may be fleeting. This is also considered our army's "learning one's mistakes and gaining wisdom"!"

Everyone said in unison: "We should follow the words of the lord!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Ma Chao nodded to everyone. To be honest, this was something he had never expected before. However, although he had not expected this, it did not bring much harm to his side. This was good. Moreover, he could be said to have learned some lessons, which was good.

Later, someone said that since Wei Yan notified Wen Pin from Lingyang City, does that mean that the person needs to take other actions? Ma Chao smiled and said, "If the enemy does not move, I will not move. I want to see what Wei Yan wants. In fact, what I am thinking now is Wen Pin. What do you think about at this moment? What do you think?"

In the eyes of everyone, Wenpin already knew that their reinforcements had arrived. So under normal circumstances, he should have taken some measures. After all, he could not let the reinforcements come in vain. But from the current situation, what would he do? At most, just talk to their guards, it would be over. Could it be that he really dared to burn his boats and fight with his own side?

It’s not that people like me look down on him, at least judging from the current situation, they have not reached the end of their lives.

-----------------------------------------------------

Wei Yan had ordered his soldiers to cut branches before, but although the soldiers didn't understand why his general was like this, the military orders should not be violated, so they all went.

In fact, Wei Yan was just preparing enough things to attract fire. If he had wolf dung or something, it would be better to light up the wolf smoke directly, which was better than anything else. But unfortunately, there was no one. After all, Wei Yan was in a war and he really didn't prepare the wolf dung. However, he only used local materials. Today, there was only a breeze. It was sunny and it didn't rain, so there was no problem ignition. After pouring oil, as long as the branches were enough, then are you still worried that there would be no fire?

When the branches were almost ready, the soldiers came to report: "Report to the general, our army has prepared all the branches, so please give the general the order!"

Wei Yan nodded, and then said, "Okay, let's order everyone to pile up the branches, almost... it's enough!"

When the soldiers heard this, they wanted to ignite the fire, at this height. The branches were finally piled into half a hill, and they had to pour oil on them.

-----------------------------------------------------

The soldiers did not dare to be negligent and went down to pass the order. After seeing the soldiers leaving, Wei Yan felt that he had to go out to see it, so he personally left the tent. Although the place where the fire was lit was far away outside the camp, Wei Yan was still worried. Even if there was only a breeze today, if everyone could control the water and fire, there would not be so many disasters. It was flood and water flowing.

When Wei Yan left the tent and then the camp, he didn't go too far, and saw his soldiers piled up with branches. It seemed that they were almost done.

When Wei Yan walked closer, the soldiers saluted Wei Yan, "General!"

Wei Yan nodded and said to the soldiers, "The Liangzhou army is blocking my passage now. But this matter cannot help me. I asked you to light the fire to notify General Wenpin in Lingyang City. Tell him that we have arrived!"

At this time, a soldier was busy flattering, "The general's brilliant idea will definitely surprise the Liangzhou army, who is still attacking at this time!"

Even though he knew that the soldiers were deliberately flattering themselves, Wei Yan still loved to listen to this, and he nodded repeatedly.

-----------------------------------------------------

If there are a few people who don’t like to listen to good things, especially Wei Yan, who is not that old and is in his twenties, so it’s true that in the other party’s flattery, although he won’t be able to find Bei anymore, he is really proud. He thought to himself, he has to be himself. If he tried another person, he might not have such a good idea! His lord asked him to lead his troops, then that’s right, can anyone else? Haha…

Not to mention that Wei Yan was content with his sanity here, he said that the soldiers had piled up branches and poured oil on them. Then everyone stepped back and finally threw the torch in their hands towards the pile of branches.

At this time, Wei Yan looked at the burning branches, and he smiled slightly, thinking to himself, let's burn, even if the distance is far, Wen Pin will notice it. After all, Wen Pin is not an ordinary general. Not to mention so much smoke, even if there is something wrong, the other party can definitely see it and know what happened to him. If Wei Yan may not have such great confidence in others, but for Wen Pin, he does have it.

-----------------------------------------------------

The soldiers next to him said to Wei Yan with a smile: "General, it's already done now! Compared to General Wen's sight of such thick smoke, he would definitely know the situation here!"

Wei Yan nodded with a smile, "It's right, but it's not too late for you to put out the fire again, let it burn for a while!"

"promise!"

"Okay, watch more and control the fire very well, and do not make any mistakes!"

"No! Please don't worry, General!"

"Okay! If you have any questions, go to the big tent to report, I'll go back first!"

"Greatly send me the general!" shouted the soldiers.

If Wei Yan was really not at ease, he was watching the fire here. He was mainly thinking about Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army, so he went back to the tent first.

-----------------------------------------------------

"I've seen it all for me, I'm extremely controlling the fire! Don't let the general go, you'll relax, know if it's not!"

"promise!"

Even if this is "no tiger in the mountains, monkeys dominate the king". As soon as Wei Yan left and walked away, he was of course the small leader with the greatest official position. Therefore, he was ordered by his own general before, so he could enjoy it at this time and instruct others. However, the soldiers still had to take this trick. After all, if the general left, he could only listen to the leader. Otherwise, would you like to rebel?

Wei Yan didn't hear anything, but even if he heard it, he would just smile. At this time, he returned to the camp and his big tent. He really didn't like to watch the fire there. At that time, it would be better to go back to the big tent to be quiet.

It’s not that Wei Yan prefers quietness. The main reason is that in a quiet place, this is indeed more important to make him think about the problem clearly.

-----------------------------------------------------

He knew that he had cast such thick smoke, and Wenpin knew everything. He might not know who brought the troops to Lingyang, but he must have known that his reinforcements had arrived. As for why he used this method to notify him, it was not difficult for him to think of him. After all, Wenpin is a capable person, and others may not do it, but Wenpin Wen Zhongye and Wei Yan knew that there was no problem.

If this is not the case, he would not be enough to make his lord value him so much. This Lingyang is definitely an important county in our side, and this Lingyang City is even more important to us, so there is no need to say more.

However, at this time, although Wei Yan knew that he had notified Wen Pin and he also knew about his situation, how should he do it? This is a problem.

So at this time Wei Yan couldn't help but say to himself: "What should we do? Liangzhou Army is not Yiyu, Ma Mengqi is even more a figure in the world, this..."

-----------------------------------------------------

After thinking for a while, Wei Yan felt that his current solution was to take one step at a time. The other party had no movement. Did he want to see what he was doing? He felt that this was really true, not impossible, but very likely.

But think about it, what do you want to see them? What do they want to see them? Then it would be interesting if both sides remained unmoved. But what would happen to Wenpin?

Or, Wei Yan would not think that Wen Pin was going to kill him, but maybe if he took action, it would be time for him to act with the Liangzhou Army! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
