The training on the first day went very smoothly, and most soldiers were able to use stirrups to skillfully drive horses and run.

On the second day, the soldiers were trained for crossbows, and the soldiers brought out a large number of targets from the county government warehouse. After the senior taught the use of crossbows, the soldiers kept loading arrows and shooting.

The learning of a continuous crossbow is much simpler than a bow. After all, a continuous crossbow is direct shooting, while a bow is parabola.

The bow needs more experience to accumulate to accurately judge the location of the arrow.

The crossbows have much lower requirements for this, and Liu An doesn't need their heads to be as high as they are. As long as they can accurately shoot the enemy dozens of meters away, it doesn't matter whether it is the enemy they are aiming at.

Even if every ten people can only kill one enemy with a volley, those five thousand people can take away five thousand enemies in ten rounds of shooting. It is not a big problem to use the advantages of cavalry to knock down kites and shoot a hu of sixty crossbow arrows to kill 20,000 Yellow Turbans after shooting one hull.

Even if the requirements cannot be met, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing about this tactic is to disgust the other party, attack its morale, and make it unable to advance or retreat.

After training in this way, the two thousand five hundred people were able to complete the shooting skillfully immediately after one tenth.

After Liu An checked the training results, he asked the two soldiers to alternate day and night to exchange for another one for training.

During this period, Zhang Liang sent people to challenge more than once, and he also criticized and insulted Liu An. However, there were very few scholars in the Yellow Turban Army, and there were only a few words to scold.

At first, Lu Bu and others were yelling to kill Zhang Liang's guy. After being persuaded by Liu An, they found that Zhang Liang had only a few words back and forth. Although they were still angry about his own Ming Gong being scolded, they could suppress their impulse and ignore the other party's call.

Fifteen days after training the elite army, Liu An asked the elite troops responsible for night duty to replace the recruits.

The recruits began another training arranged by Liu An - relying on the narrow terrain of the city gate, and the formation of shields and spears to resist the enemy.

Simply put, there is a row of large shield soldiers in the front, two rows of spear soldiers in the back, followed by large shield soldiers and two rows of spear soldiers, and so on.

The main training is how shield soldiers are closely arranged, how spear soldiers kill the enemy at the fastest speed, the cooperation between the two sides, and how to quickly replace them when there are shields or spear soldiers in front.

Liu An had the same amount of shields and spears in his inventory. He took out five thousand shields and the recruits began training.

On the 20th day, Liu An ordered two days of meals at a time, and at the same time, the entire army reduced the meal volume to 70% of the original one.

After three consecutive days, the smoke from cooking in Linping County was less and less. By the fourth day of the ceremonies, even the smoke from cooking had not even risen.

At this time, there was only a lot of cooked food left in the preserved food, and the soldiers even ate half full for a meal.

Liu An had to take out all the compressed biscuits and lunch meat in the system inventory to replenish energy for the soldiers. In this way, a small number of people were half full by the raw sweet potatoes provided by Liu An.

Zhang Liang outside the city did not pay attention to these details. Instead, the dog-headed military advisor who had followed Zhang Bao escaped and surrendered to Zhang Liang. He thought about how to make contributions and clean up the stains that had left Zhang Liang alone before before.

After realizing this phenomenon in Linping County, he hurriedly ran to report the good news to Zhang Liang.

"General, you're so happy! You're so happy!"

"Why are you happy?"

The dog-headed general shook his head and said, "The general doesn't know anything. I'm looking for the flaws of the lackey day and night, and now I've finally found it."

"Tell me in detail." Zhang Liang responded coldly.

He was not interested in this dog-headed general. If he had really had the ability, how could he let his brother be defeated?

"There is a place in Linping County where a large amount of smoke rises every morning and evening. I concluded that there was a place where the lackeys cook for the soldiers. A few days ago, the smoke in that place suddenly decreased a lot, and the next few days became less and less, and it has been completely cut off today. Can the general know why this is?"

The dog-headed general didn't have the leisure to stare at the smoke every day, but he accidentally noticed that the amount of smoke in the cooking was wrong two days ago, so he started to think about it.

The reason I said this is just to exaggerate my contribution.

Zhang Liang was active in his mind, and the tactic of three missing one was deployed by him, so he naturally knew the premise for the success of this tactic.

Hearing the words of the dog-headed military advisor, his eyes lit up and shouted, "Are you serious?"

The dog-headed military advisor was about to show his saint in front of him, but when Zhang Liang shouted, he was shocked, "Do it, take it seriously!"

"Okay! OK! Pass the order..." Zhang Liang stood up excitedly and was about to pass the order, but suddenly hesitated, "Wait a minute, that Liu Zhe was cunning, maybe he was cheating me."

"General, General, have you already known the reason?" At this time, the dog-headed general who came to his senses asked again without giving up. He has not yet appeared.

Zhang Liang only replied: "Go out and continue to stare at the thief army."

"Hey...hey!" Seeing this, the dog-headed general could only withdraw from the central army's tent apart.

On the other hand, Liu An, who was ready, finally ordered to make more than 10% of the food in the evening on the basis of restoring his appetite.

After all, the soldiers were hungry for several days, so it was appropriate to eat a little more.

As night falls, the moonlight spreads a thin layer of light curtain.

Just when Zhang Liang and General Dogtou wondered why Liu Thief had food to cook, the sound of drums that shook the sky and earth, even Zhang Liang, who were outside the East City Gate, heard it.

The dog-headed general said in surprise: "Has the thief left the city? They really dared..."

Zhang Liang waved his hand, interrupted the dog-headed general, frowned and thought, "I'm leaving the city... they are afraid they want to break through. It seems that they have run out of food and grass, and the possibility of breaking through at night is even greater, so they consumed the last food in the evening!"

The more Zhang Liang thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely. After only a moment of hesitation, Zhang Liang made a decision.

"Send the order and the whole army will attack! We must wipe out the thieves tonight, don't let anyone go!"

Then, with the help of his subordinates, Zhang Liang also put on his armor and rode his horse to Linping County.

But even though the other party had made a breakthrough, Zhang Liang, who was afraid of death, still did not dare to get too close to the city wall, but just observed the situation three or four hundred steps away from the city wall.

What if I suddenly shoot an arrow from somewhere and take away my name, what should I do?

It was dark and surrounded by hazy things. Zhang Liang was not sure whether the sharpshooter was standing on the city wall.

After observing for a while, Zhang Liang found that there was only the sound of drums beating at the west gate, and the soldiers who broke through were gathered there.

This is normal. Since it is a breakthrough, we must concentrate our troops to break through a little bit. It is still a breakthrough if we disperse the troops.

So Zhang Liang decisively summoned most of the soldiers to the Xixi City Gate, leaving only 10,000 soldiers to guard the camp.

The Yellow Turbans that were resting at night also rushed to the battlefield with their tired bodies that had just fallen asleep and were awakened.

At this time, the city gate of Linping West was wide open. Liu An stood on the city wall. There were two war drums on his left and right. Two soldiers were beating the drum face with all their might.

The dense drum beats of dongdong dong aroused the blood in the body and also ignited the soldiers' fighting spirit.

Below the city gate, there were dense new recruits, and three thousand new recruits spread far outside the city gate, all neatly lined up their military formations.

The big shield soldier at the forefront was the most elite soldier Liu An picked out from this group of new recruits.

Their tasks are also the heaviest, because once the formation is broken for the first time, they will be broken countless times afterwards.

Therefore, the longer the first wave of large shield soldiers persisted, the greater the success rate of breaking through this night.

Zhang Liang rushed to the west city gate and saw that the city gate was wide open, but no enemy rushed out. The deputy general who had arrived here before had ordered his subordinates to attack and was about to fight with the enemy.

Seeing this, although Zhang Liang felt something was wrong, he couldn't order to retreat directly.

After all, both sides are approaching. If they retreat at this time and leave their backs to the enemy, this wave will only lose their troops in vain and cannot find out the reality of the enemy's troops.

"Run!" The Yellow Turban's front vanguard general yelled at the city gate.

Because the moonlight was dim and the torch could only illuminate a small piece nearby, he did not notice the shield erected in front of the formation, nor did he find the murderous intent hidden behind the shield.
