He looked at the last hilltop of Gaodu City, his face extremely pale.

If the reinforcements from the traitors at Tianjing Pass arrive, then all of my efforts these days will be in vain.

However, the soldiers were already tired from attacking the city in a hurry.

In addition, because they suffered a lot of casualties when attacking the mountain, their morale has become low and they are in urgent need of rest.

Wei Yan's eyes flickered as he looked in the direction of the engineering camp.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came, interrupting Wei Yan's train of thought.

"What's the matter?"

Before Wei Chang could speak, he heard Wei Yan suddenly ask a question. He was stunned for a moment and quickly answered:

"General, reinforcements from the Shangdang are coming!"

"finally come?"

Wei Yan, who was looking deep in thought at Wei Chang with his hands behind his back, turned around hurriedly when he heard this:

"Where are they now?"

I thought Shangdang reinforcements would arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

Unexpectedly, we arrived one day early.

The military situation is on fire. If we can get one more day, we may be able to turn the tide of the war!

Wei Yan felt that the dullness he had felt these days was gone.

Probably seeing Wei Yan's doubts, Wei Chang explained:

"The Shangdang reinforcements were urgently summoned by the general and did not dare to neglect them. They traveled at double speed yesterday and this morning, so they arrived one day early."

"Okay, okay!" Wei Yan was overjoyed and ordered impatiently, "Let them gather immediately, eat some food, take a rest, and attack the city today!"

"Ah?" Wei Chang was stunned when he heard Wei Yan's words.

"Ah what? Why don't you go quickly?!"

When Wei Yan saw his appearance, he couldn't help but shouted.

Wei Chang's lips moved and he wanted to turn around and leave, but in the end he reminded him:

"General, the soldiers have traveled a long way and are exhausted. How about..."

Before Wei Chang finished speaking, Wei Yan's anger that he had been suppressing all these days suddenly rose.

He suddenly kicked Wei Chang and knocked him to the ground.

I saw Wei Yan pointing at Wei Chang and scolding:

"I have been leading troops for decades. Do I still not know this and need you to remind me?"

Besides, he brought out the Shangdang soldiers with his own hands. Is there anyone in the world who knows them better than he does?

The soldiers are really tired from coming all the way.

But the rebel army has been fighting continuously these days, which will only make them more tired.

Wei Chang didn't dare to say anything anymore. He got up from the ground silently, without even daring to pat the dirt off his body, and walked towards the back.

At Tianjing Pass, fifty miles away from Gaodu City, Sima Shi was standing at the highest point of the city, looking to the north, as if listening to the killing cries coming from Gaodu City.

There were footsteps behind him, and Niu Jin walked behind Master Sima with a slightly anxious look on his face:

"General, according to reports from spies, Gaodu City is in danger. The general has led his troops here for more than a day, why did he stop moving forward?"

Master Sima did not look back at him, but said in a calm tone:

"The soldiers have traveled a long way and are overtired. Naturally, they need to take a good rest first to restore their physical strength."

Hearing this, Niu Jin had an incredible look on his face and stretched out his finger to the north:

"But……"

"No but." Master Sima also stretched out his hand, pointing in the same direction as Niu Jin, "What we are facing is one of the leaders of the Western Bandits, Wei Yan."

"Wei Yan is a rare and powerful general among the Western thieves, and he is also an experienced general. He is only inferior to Feng Thief."

"Therefore, we should not rush into Gaodu City without knowing the situation."

Hearing this, Niu Jin opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

Because what General Sima said is not wrong.

But he always felt that something was not right.

However, since the coach has made a decision, it is naturally difficult for him to comment on it.

In the end, he just choked out one sentence:

"General, how about I personally lead someone to check on the situation?"

Master Sima finally turned around and glanced at Niu Jin expressionlessly:

"General Niu, your current duty is to restrain your soldiers and arrange for them to have a good rest so that they can cope with the fierce battle in the near future, instead of taking risks yourself."

Seeing Master Sima's appearance, Niu Jin seemed to have some understanding, so he excused himself to go down to arrange the soldiers and slowly retreated.

After Niu Jin left, Master Sima looked steadily to the north again, silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

I don’t know how long it took, but a guard came over quietly and whispered:

"Sir, the scout is back."

"Oh?" Master Sima's expression changed, and he quickly turned around, "Have someone come over quickly."

"No need to salute, tell me how the situation is?"

The chief scout was halfway through his salute when he heard the words and quickly stopped his movements and replied:

"General, the Western Bandits are attacking the city very urgently. Although Gaodu City has not been completely lost, it will only be possible in a matter of seconds."

"The villain followed the general's instructions and sent people down the mountain to venture to the side of the bandit army to investigate the enemy's situation."

"After losing nearly ten masters, we found out the news. The thieves' reinforcements seem to have arrived..."

"Okay!" Master Sima shouted and smacked his fist, "It's finally here!"

Seeing that both the scout chief and the bodyguard looked shocked, Master Sima did not explain, but just said to the scout chief:

"I will mark the loss of those brothers under your control and provide double compensation after the war."

The scout chief, who was still a little ashamed at first, did not react for a moment when he heard this.

He originally thought that the disappearance of his brothers would leak military information.

Unexpectedly, instead of pursuing the case, the general gave him a meritorious deed.

Sima waved his hand and told the guards and scouts to retreat.

Then when he turned to look north, a smile finally appeared on his face that had been expressionless all day:

"Wei Yan, Wei Yan, you have fallen into the master's plan after all..."

After murmuring this sentence, he snorted with a sneer:

"The mere Gaodu City has not been captured so far. It seems that you are no more than that."

Although he didn't hear Master Sima's sarcasm towards him, Wei Yan was already like a gambler whose eyes were red at the time.

I saw him wearing armor, standing in front of the Han soldiers who had just arrived from Shangdang, shouting loudly:

"The thieves are exhausted, you young talents, if you don't defeat the thieves now, when will you wait?"

"Today, I will personally lead you to attack the city. If the city is not broken, I swear not to retreat, but rather to die on the mountainside!"

Wei Yan was good at raising his soldiers, and he basically brought them out personally.

At this time, when they heard that the coach personally led them to attack the city, the crowd couldn't help but get excited, shouting "Destroy the thief! Destroy the thief! Destroy the thief!"

"Follow me!"

The war drums sounded, and the Han army once again launched a charge towards the last high ground of Gaodu City.

The defenders, who had not waited for reinforcements, could no longer hold on this time.

The Wei army flag at the highest point of Gaodu City was finally burned.

Wei Yan deeply hated the Wei army for refusing to surrender, which resulted in the death of many soldiers.

So he ordered that all the captured defenders, regardless of whether they were injured or disabled, be killed.
