Ma Chao was outside the city and yelled and cursed for a whole hour.
On the city wall, Wang Ding, Xu Huang and others have already left.
He doesn't want to go out of town to meet Ma Chao now, out of sight and out of mind.
It's just a pain to the soldiers guarding the city wall.
Wang Ding and the others could go away and not listen, but they had no choice.
Many people had angry faces. If it hadn't been for Wang Ding's order, they wouldn't have left the city. I'm afraid they couldn't bear it long ago.
A few who couldn't bear it picked up their bows and arrows and shot at Ma Chao.
But Ma Chao knocked away the arrow with a casual shot.
In exchange, Ma Chao laughed even more unscrupulously.
The Qiang cavalry behind Ma Chao even shouted to cheer for Ma Chao, while simultaneously laughing at the defenders on top of the city.
The defenders on the city wall listened to all the ridicule and abuse from below, feeling aggrieved but helpless.
Ma Chao yelled and cursed for an hour before retreating.
However, the army did not withdraw. They just traveled two miles and rested in the shade.
In the city, Wang Ding and Xu Huang are still waiting.
Wang Ding has sent spies out from another city gate.
He wanted to see if there was anyone behind Ma Chao.
It's just that the faces of generals such as Fan Chou and Xu Huang are not very good-looking.
They can't hear Ma Chao's insults now, but if they think about it, they are called into battle by a young man, but they don't dare to fight. If word spreads, their reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult to lead troops in the future.
No soldier is willing to follow a courageous general.
If one day we are against someone, and the other party says, it turns out he is the coward who dared not fight after being called into battle by a child.
Amid the laughter of the other side, the morale of the troops they led was probably going to drop by 30%.
Neither Xu Huang nor Fan Chou quite understood why Wang Ding was so cautious.
They just went out of the city to defeat Ma Chao, not to hunt down the opponent.
Han Sui didn't think Wang Ding was too cautious. He knew Ma Chao's strength best.
In the past two years, he could still play a few rounds with Ma Chao. Starting from this year, Han Sui is no longer a match for Ma Chao.
In Han Sui's opinion, Wang Ding's not taking action was the wisest choice. At the same time, he felt a little happy, which showed that Wang Ding believed what he said.
He can guarantee to God that what he said on the top of the city today was really not an exaggeration.
Several people were in the meeting hall, and every half an hour, soldiers came to report the situation outside the city.
When they heard that Ma Chao had temporarily withdrawn, Xu Huang and Fan Chou's faces looked a little better.
However, the two of them were not happy for long. After noon, Ma Chao came to the city gate again to start a fight.
And the scolding was different from the one in the morning, and even worse.
It is also mixed with many Qiang people’s swear words.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, the number of soldiers on the city was also changed.
Wang Ding came to the city alone and looked at Ma Chao below the city with interest.
He was afraid that Xu Huang and Fan Chou couldn't help it, so he didn't let the two of them come up.
Wang Ding stood on the city wall and watched Ma Chao cursing under the city wall without getting angry.
Instead, it felt like watching a show, as if he was not among the people Ma Chao scolded.
Ma Chaoyue's scoldings became more and more unpleasant, and the Liangzhou cavalry behind him burst into laughter.
Another hour passed, and Ma Chao seemed to be tired of scolding, so he led his men to retreat.
This time, Ma Chao withdrew directly, bringing with him the billowing dust, and soon disappeared.
The spies Wang Ding sent out in the morning finally returned.
There was no other army behind Ma Chao, but there was a newly built camp ten miles away.
"Ma Teng isn't here." Wang Ding felt a little strange after hearing the spies' report.
Ma Chao doesn't have many men and horses, so why would he dare to attack Chencang?
Fan Chou said: "My lord, when he comes back tomorrow, I will definitely take his head off."
Wang Dingdao: "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world."
He is not worried that Ma Chao will break through Chencang.
Now that the army and the people in the city are united, Ma Chao can only exceed 20,000 men, and there are no siege equipment. Unless Wang Ding opens the city gate himself, it is impossible for Ma Chao to come in.
The question Wang Ding was thinking was how to subdue Ma Chao.
Xu Huang's force value is very high and can be tied with Xu Chu, but it should still be a bit lower than Ma Chao.
Wang Ding said: "Han Sui, what does Ma Chao like?"
Han Suidao: "This boy is a martial arts fanatic. He has no other hobbies except practicing martial arts."
Wang Ding had a headache, but he was also a little happy inside.
If Ma Chao was like Lu Bu, easily persuaded and bribed by high-ranking officials with gold and silver, Wang Ding would no longer want him.
No matter how troubled they were, they were blocked in the city by Ma Chao. The roads could not be repaired and the food could not be transported out.
Gao Shun, who is already in Wudu, will not be able to survive for long with food and grass.
Gao Shun is now outside Wudu, still asking his soldiers to cut down trees and build ladders and other siege equipment.
At night, Wang Ding then sent spies to explore Ma Chao's camp ten miles away.
Outside the camp, soldiers from Liangzhou were patrolling and were heavily guarded.
Spies can only explore the outside and cannot get close to the opponent's camp.
The night was very peaceful, and the people in Chencang City had all gone to bed.
No one is worried about the Liangzhou soldiers and horses outside the city.
But early in the morning, as soon as Wang Ding got up, he received another report from his soldiers that Ma Chao was provoking a fight in front of the city gate again.
This is really persevering enough.
Wang Ding was speechless.
One night passed, and Ma Chao actually thought of many new curse words.
It is also possible that Ma Chao collected it from the Liangzhou soldiers in the camp last night.
Fan Chou, Xu Huang, Han Sui and other generals also came to the city.
Han Sui knew Ma Chao's character and didn't find it strange.
But when Xu Huang and Fan Chou looked at Ma Chao at the city gate, their anger suddenly rose in their hearts.
"Gongming, leave the city." Wang Ding said.
We can't let Ma Chao scold them in the city all the time. I really think they are scared.
Today, we will have a head-on battle with Ma Chao.
After hearing Wang Ding's order, Xu Huang and Fan Chou immediately ordered a group of soldiers and horses.
Wang Ding also rode a bay-red horse and came to the city gate with a Mo knife.
The city gate slowly opened, and Wang Ding and the others immediately walked out of the city gate and formed a formation at the city gate.
Ma Chao also did not intend to take advantage of the city gate to open and attack suddenly.
"Hahahaha, you little turtles finally dared to come out." Ma Chao smiled wildly, not taking Wang Ding and the others seriously at all.
"I thought you would still be unable to get out today, so you are a bit brave."
Ma Chao looked at Wang Ding and others and said, "You guys, who dares to fight with me?"
"Someone comes."
Without waiting for Wang Ding's order, Fan Chou couldn't help but rush over.
He raised his gun and rode his horse, heading towards Ma Chao to kill him.
Seeing this, Wang Ding had no choice but to shout behind him: "Be careful."
Fan Chou had been holding it in for a whole day, and now he could finally take action. He shouted: "My dear, Ma Chao, you must die."
Fan Chou's strength is not weak.
In the previous Xiliang army, he was also ranked high.
