After four months of development, Ma Feng was naturally much stronger than before.
The three thousand soldiers of the 'Wei Back Camp' that he had brought back from Guzang were Ma Feng's most elite troops.
The 3,000 Xianling Qiang cavalry was led by Lei Ao and was under Ma Feng's command.
In these four months, he had also recruited 5,000 soldiers.
However, these 5,000 commandery soldiers had limited combat power, short time, and insufficient training. However, they should be able to defend the city.
Ma Feng estimated that these 5,000 soldiers, together with the commoners, could defend Di Dao even if they had 40,000 to 50,000 people, without any large-scale siege weapons.
An army of more than ten thousand soldiers were all under Ma Feng's command.
If they were to add in civilian workers, regardless of quality, it would not be a problem to gather 30,000 people just by looking at the number.
There was indeed a gap between them and Han Sui's 50,000-strong army, but there was no other way.
Ma Teng patted his butt and left irresponsibly.
As a result, Di Dao's large families did not want to cooperate with Ma Feng at all. They actually had many men of sacrifice and servants.
However, because Ma Feng had no hair on his mouth, he felt that he was not doing his job well. Naturally, he was unwilling to hand over the armed forces in his hands to Ma Feng.
Ma Feng didn't dare to force these large clans too hard.
If he was forced to go to Han Sui, he would have nowhere to cry.
Ma Feng chose to stabilize these large clans first. As long as they did not cause trouble, everything was negotiable.
Because of the recent harvest and Ma Feng's efforts to buy grain, Di Dao's current grain situation was not bad.
It could last at least four months.
However, the weapons and equipment were not as satisfactory.
There were all kinds of weapons. Although the quality was not good, at least everyone could have one.
However, the armor was a little disgusting.
There were less than 1,000 sets of armor in the army of over 10,000.
This was the stock that he had found in the treasury. The good armor had been taken away by Ma Teng, leaving behind some tattered armor.
After Han Sui's rebellion, Ma Feng had wanted all the Xianling Qiang to come to Di Dao.
If that was really the case, it could increase the combat strength of 20,000 people.
However, Ma Feng did not expect Lei Ao to be so arrogant as to run over and occupy Lintao.
Lintao was originally the place where Ling Zheng's official army was stationed. The city walls were high and thick. If it was not because Beigong Boyu had been instigated to defect, what about those bandits?
They would not be able to break into the city even if they fought to their deaths.
After Ling Zheng was killed, Beigong Boyu and the others went to Jin City after snatching the rations. Lintao became an empty city.
Lei Bo was very arrogant and directly occupied Lintao.
The entire Xianling Qiang had moved over and occupied the city as king.
When Ma Feng sent someone to contact Lei Ao, he was already moving.
He even got someone to pass a message to Ma Feng," If Di Dao can't hold it, bring people to Lintao. His uncle will protect him."”
Ma Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he found out. This cheap uncle of his was using him as a shield.
Lintao City was about a thousand miles away from Jin City.
Di Dao was less than 200 miles away from Jin City. No matter how stupid Han Sui was, he would definitely attack Di Dao first, and the Zero Qiang would be the first to be safe.
Lei Bo was still loyal. He didn't call Lei Ao and the others back, but let them stay by Ma Feng's side.
Lei Bo understood that it was now a dead end. If Ma Feng could win, then everything would be fine.
If Ma Feng was defeated and Longxi fell, then the Xianling Qiang would not be in a good situation.
Ma Feng had brought Lei Ao's Qiang Cavalry this time.
What he wanted was speed.
If he could take advantage of her, he would. If not, he would retreat quickly and focus on self-preservation.
……
Zuo Chang led his army to the city of Jin City and stationed ten miles away.
On the day they arrived, they couldn't wait to lead the army to Jin City to show off.
Zuo Chang even ran to the front and shouted at Han Sui and the others.
"Han Sui, Bian Zhang, you two are officials of the Great Han Dynasty. How can you rebel? Be sensible and surrender quickly. Otherwise, you won't even have a corpse left.”
"Brother Zuo Chang, how have you been? We are not rebelling, we are here to eliminate the eunuchs. I want to advise you to join us. We will lead the army to Luoyang and kill the eunuchs.”Han Sui said with a smile.
"F * ck you, who's your brother? Let's not talk about anything else, I'll give you one night to consider. Tomorrow, I'll give the order to attack.”
Zuo Chang led the army back to the camp.
Zuo Chang knew a little about military affairs. He knew that a siege needed a ladder, so he sent people to make the ladder overnight.
There was no reckless attack.
The night passed peacefully. Early the next morning, Zuo Chang led the army and the scaling ladder to the city of Jin City.
"Han Sui, have you thought it through? It's not too late to surrender now." Zuo Chang shouted again.
"If you want to fight, fight. I won't surrender."
Zuo Chang waved his hand, and a few commandants began to attack the city with ladders.
Han Sui was prepared. He had wood, rolling stones, bows, arrows, and spears.
Zuo Chang ordered his men to attack more than ten times in a row for the entire day.
But without exception, they could not even get up to the top of the city.
In one day, almost 5,000 people had died, including three commandants.
As for the rebel army, not a single person was injured or killed.
Zuo Chang cursed in anger, but it was useless.
Zuo Chang felt that there were still not many rolling wood and stones in Jin City. He passed down the order to attack the city overnight and take down Jin City in one go.
After continuously attacking the city for a day and night, Zuo Chang's army was all gathered at the front line, and they were exhausted.
He wanted to do it in one go, but he could not take it down.
