Chapter 62: Let the Hu people in, and then we can beat the dog behind closed doors

"The enemy is still about ten miles away from us. At their speed, it won't take long for them to get here."

"You 1,000 engineers must organize the people in the city to evacuate to the military camp outside the city immediately, especially the family of the lord. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" The captain of the engineering corps left the meeting room with the order.

"Military Advisor, why do you want to let all the people evacuate Gaoliu City? Aren't we supposed to defend the city?" Zhang Fei asked in confusion.

"If the enemy cannot take the city after a long attack, they will definitely retreat. But considering the violent nature of the Hu people, what do you think they will do after they retreat?"

Zhang Fei frowned and didn't answer, but everyone knew the answer.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "This group of Hu people must be wiped out at all costs."

"We can't destroy them just by defending the city, so what I have to do is let them in."

"Gao Liu City is very large. It is a suitable battlefield and a perfect place for us to annihilate the Hu people's troops in one fell swoop."

After saying this, Zhang Liang immediately arranged personnel. He asked Zhang Fei to lead a thousand Wei Wu soldiers out of the city immediately and find a place to hide.

Once the Hu people entered the city, Zhang Fei led the thousand Wei soldiers to block the city gate and cut off the Hu people's way.

Zhang Liang said that this tactic is called closing the door to catch the thief, which is the 22nd strategy among the Thirty-Six Strategies.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, his eyes flashing with anticipation, and then led a thousand Wei Wu soldiers out of the city.

A stick of incense later, Tustan and his army arrived outside Gaoliu City.

They were not surprised to see the city gates closed. They were so powerful that they could see from afar that Gaoliu City had no choice but to close its gates and defend the city.

"General Tustan, I am willing to lead 5,000 troops and lead the charge."

"It is the shame of my life to be defeated by the Marquis of Zhenxi. I will make his subordinates and family pay for this shame together!"

Tuoba Wu clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

Tustan laughed and agreed to Tuoba Wu's request.

He was the commander of the army. Even if Tuoba Wu captured the city, the greatest credit would go to him, Tustan.

When he arrived at the Ying Mansion, he had the priority to enjoy the gold, silver, jewelry and beauties in the mansion, while Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Xuan could only play with what he left.

Moreover, there was a scapegoat willing to lead the charge, so why would he refuse?

Tuoba Wu led five thousand Hu soldiers and horses forward a hundred meters. He raised his sword and pointed at some of the defenders on the city wall and shouted:

"Listen up, everyone in the city! General Tustan of our tribe is leading an army of 10,000 and is determined to capture Gaoliu City tonight!"

"If you guys are smart, you should surrender early, so as to avoid a fight later and have everyone go to see the King of Hell!"

Tuoba Wu knew that the defenders would never surrender, so he just shouted a few words as usual. If he wanted to get in, he had to break into the city first.

However, after hearing his words, the defenders on the city actually pulled down the military flag and threw it down.

Tuoba Wu was stunned for a moment, and Tustan, who was not far away, was also stunned when he saw this scene.

"Surrender! We surrender! Don't kill us!" said the defenders on the city in a trembling voice.

After a while, the city gate opened. Tuoba Wu looked at the wide-open Gaoliu City and didn't know whether he should go in or not.

Tustan came over with another 5,000 soldiers and horses. He laughed and said:

"It seems that the defenders of Gaoliu City know us, the Hu people, otherwise they would not open the gates and surrender directly after hearing my name."

Tuoba Wu frowned and said in a deep voice: "General Tustan, it's going so smoothly, could it be a trick?"

Tustan smiled and shook his head: "Hey, let me explain."

"First, the information given by the Han people is that the Marquis of Zhenxi only has 10,000 troops. Now that he has gone to Jiarong Pass, if he wants to deal with Tubilie and Kubiyan, he must take all the troops with him."

"So the defenders in Gaoliu City are just useless soldiers, at most only a few hundred people. How can they defend the city against our 10,000-strong army?"

"Secondly, they would never have thought that we, the Hu people, would appear here. If the Hu people showed up in such a swagger, it would mean that Jiarong Pass had been breached."

"These defenders will only think that their Zhenxi Marquis has been defeated or even dead. What are they defending then?"

Tuoba Wu nodded repeatedly and flattered him: "General, you are right. I am grateful for your advice."

"If you had half of my wisdom, you wouldn't have been defeated by a young boy in Jubei City. Learn from this."

After that, Tustan led the team into Gaoliu City.

But what they didn't know was that shortly after they entered the city, Zhang Fei led his men out of their ambush.

They looked at these Hu soldiers with cold eyes as if they were dead people.

After entering Gaoliu City, Tustan did not rush his subordinates to burn, kill and loot at will, but instead thought about finding Ying Mansion and completing the task assigned by the Chanyu first.

As a veteran, he knew clearly what he should do first. The city was already in his hands, and none of the people inside could escape.

The 10,000-strong army walked for some distance, and because the streets and alleys in the city were relatively narrow, the entire team's formation was stretched out.

"General, there is someone in front!"

Tustan immediately stopped his men. He squinted and saw a handsome man standing a hundred meters away from them.

"Looking at the attire, he must be one of the Marquis of Zhenxi's men."

"Go up and bring him here. This general has something to ask you."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the two Hu soldiers immediately stepped forward.

Just as the two of them walked not far, a whistling sound suddenly came from the city.

Tustan was suddenly startled, and when he came to his senses, dense arrows were shot from both sides, heading straight for their team.

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!" Tuoba Xuan drew his sword and shouted, and the entire Hu army was in chaos.

Tuoba Wu quickly looked forward. The elegant man had long disappeared, and the two Hu soldiers he had sent out had become corpses.

The arrows rained down like raindrops, and Tustan initially thought it was just a drizzle of attack.

But as the arrows rained down, he realized that he had made a fatal mistake. This act of opening the door and surrendering was simply a bait!

From the beginning to the end, they were never hunters, but prey!

"Ah! Ah!"

A lot of screams were heard in the city. Although the Hu people's formation was stretched out, the ambushers in the city also shot arrows according to their formation.

"Don't panic! Don't panic!" Tustan shouted while blocking the arrows.

"The rear army becomes the front army, the front army becomes the rear army, retreat in an orderly manner! Retreat in an orderly manner!"

The Hu soldiers immediately carried out Tustan's orders, but most of them were cavalry.

On this narrow street, these horses undoubtedly became an obstacle to their retreat.

Moreover, after the arrows fell, the horses were also disturbed. Even the war horses that had been raised since childhood would inevitably panic.

Once the horses panic, it will be a devastating blow to the surrounding infantry. Many Hu people were kicked to death because their horses were frightened.

"A bunch of fearless people dare to invade Xiliang. Do you really think that the Marquis of Zhenxi doesn't have anyone under his command?"

Zhang Liang's voice came from above. He had already climbed up a tall building, with a faint light surrounding his body.
