Because Zhao Tong threatened the families of the county officials in Shicheng, and also promised to forget about it once the matter was accomplished, he still reinstated all the officials to their posts.

This also made everyone decide to cooperate with the Han army's plan.

The Shicheng county lieutenant then rushed to Didao City on Zhao Tong's order to inform him that the reinforcements of the Western Qiang thieves had arrived in the suburbs, and persuaded the general Fei Yao to lead his troops out of the city to attack the Baima Qiang.

After Zhao Tong wiped out all the iron chariot troops, he gathered his troops to follow closely, ready to launch a general attack on Didao at any time.

Many days later.

The Shicheng County captain also entered Didao City safely.

However, in order to complete the show, Zhao Tong also specially asked him to dress up and pretend to be sneaking in.

When Fei Yao heard the news from his mouth that the Xiqiang reinforcements had arrived, he was in disbelief for the first time!

Especially now that the people outside the city are besieged by the White Horse Qiang, how can he return to the city alone?

Is this not a treacherous plot by the Han army?

As soon as the thought came up, Fei Yao stared at the Shicheng County Lieutenant standing next to him with a look full of suspicion.

"How did you get in through the enemy's defense lines outside the city?"

After saying this, Shicheng County Lieutenant suddenly felt a bit of fear in his heart, but for a moment he seemed to recall Zhao Tong's instructions before leaving.

If that was Fei Yao's way of dealing with suspicion.

Thinking of this, Shicheng County Lieutenant quickly calmed down and said without changing his expression:

"This is General Fei, although the White Horse Qiang forces outside the city should not be underestimated!"

"But their discipline is average, and every stronghold outside the city is laxly defended."

"I just disguised myself as a Qiang person and spent a lot of money on it, so I was able to sneak into the city."

"General, please don't be suspicious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shicheng County Lieutenant's tone was extremely sincere.

Having said that, Fei Yao glanced closely at the county captain standing next to him. Seeing that he was indeed wearing Qiang clothing, the wariness in his heart gradually dissipated.

But there is still some vigilance hidden deep in my heart.

Upon seeing this, the Shicheng County Lieutenant knew that what he had just said was not enough to convince him to lead his troops out of the city, so he loudly reported again:

"By the way, General Fei, before Xia Lin's departure, the Xiqiang reinforcements' iron chariot troops have already stationed themselves near Shicheng, northwest of the Longxi border."

"Based on the distance, I estimate that we can reach here in two days."

"The leader of the Xiqiang said that if you, general, don't lead the attack, they will definitely not take action!"

As soon as he said these words, Fei Yao was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Didao is now surrounded and looks like an isolated city.

The contact with the outside world was completely cut off, and he did not dare to bet whether this was a conspiracy of the Shu army.

If you fall into the trap, everything will be lost!

But if the iron chariot soldiers really come to support him, if he doesn't show anything, I'm afraid the other party will really walk away.

This is not good,

After all, according to the itinerary, it will take some time for the main force from the rear to arrive. Without the help of the iron chariot soldiers, they would be trapped in the isolated city and would be waiting for death.

"You go down first!"

"Let me, general, think twice!"

After the words fell, Shicheng County Lieutenant saw that Fei Yao did not agree quickly, and his face seemed a little worried as to whether this matter would be successful.

However, he did not dare to offer any more persuasion, fearing that this would alarm the snake and make him wake up.

So I can only give up and retreat!

After the Shicheng County captain who delivered the letter resigned, Fei Yao then walked back and forth in the military mansion, with an extremely anxious look on his face.

What to do this time?

Should I go out of the city to attack Baima Qiang?

After thinking for a long time, Fei Yao indeed gathered his troops, but he did not immediately go out of the city to attack the White Horse Qiang people.

He was quietly waiting for the opportunity.

If the Xiqiang reinforcements really arrive here, there will definitely be quite a commotion among the Baima Qiang outside the city.

When the time comes, it will not be too late to lead the troops to respond.

…

When Zhao Tong arrived at Didao with his infantry and cavalry, he also met Yang Wanwan, Prince of Baima Qiang, and asked both parties to sing a play for Fei Yao in the city.

Yang Wanwan was well-read in military books and had good strategies.

He quickly understood Zhao Tong's intention and agreed.

After waiting for the Han army to approach the outskirts of the city, with the cooperation of Yang Wanwan, the Baima Qiang tribes indeed mobilized, and one by one they dispatched to the north of Didao!

On the contrary, the encirclement on the other sides seemed to be gradually weakening.

Naturally, this scene could not be hidden from Fei Yao, who was always paying attention to the battle situation.

Upon seeing this, he no longer doubted his presence, thinking that reinforcements from the Western Qiang had arrived.

He ordered the assembled main force to attack the weak side of the Baima Qiang in the south of the city, hoping to attack each other with the iron chariot soldiers in the north of the city.

As soon as they came out, the Baima Qiang people outside the camp were in an emergency. They didn't expect that the defenders in the city would suddenly come out, but they were killed by surprise.

Fei Yao led his troops to fight for a while and then repelled the Qiang soldiers.

This moment undoubtedly made Fei Yao more and more convinced of the news of the arrival of reinforcements.

Deep in his heart, his pride doubled, he waved the sword in his palm and shouted:

"Soldiers, the Qiang people have been surrounded. Our army will go over and annihilate them all!"

"Kill, kill!"

As soon as this roar fell, the morale of all the soldiers under his command was also high, and they raised their sharp weapons and shouted loudly.

At this moment, Fei Yao's men pursued the Qiang people all the way away, getting further and further away from the city.

After chasing him at least ten miles away, something unexpected happened.

The Qiang people who were still being chased suddenly turned back to kill them.

Then there were sudden shouts of killing from all around, and troops and cavalry were attacking in a steady stream.

They wanted to surround and kill Cao's army from all sides.

The general, Zhao Tong, also stood prominently in the cavalry formation, galloping ahead with his horse and spear drawn. He even had a look of joy on his face and shouted loudly:

"Fei Yao, you have fallen into my general's plan. If you don't surrender now, how long will it take?"

With one word spoken, Fei Yao heard the roar directly. He suddenly thought something was wrong. Looking at the surrounding Han and Qiang coalition forces, he did not dare to show any slightness and quickly ordered:

"Retreat, retreat quickly! Retreat to the city."

After the order was passed, Sergeant Cao's soldiers, who had been fighting high just now, did not dare to have the slightest desire to fight and retreated towards Didao.

But when they retreated to the city, before Fei Yao could say anything, he saw the general's flag with the character "Liu" hanging high on top of the city.

After a while, a general walked up to the battlements and looked down, laughing loudly: "Hahahaha..."

"Fei Yao, you have fallen into the trap of our general, and Didao has been captured by our army!"

"You are like a lost dog, why don't you surrender?"

After saying this, the general on the city was naturally Liu Yin who was ordered to take advantage of the situation to seize the city.

Long before Zhao Tong wiped out the Western Qiang bandits and returned to the army, he had ordered Ma Zhong to prepare to lead his troops north to besiege Didao.

Liu Yin led an army north, and after Fei Yao was attracted out of the city, the whole army wore Cao's army armor and pretended to open the city gate.

Fei Yao was undoubtedly shocked when he saw the city fell!
Chapter completed!
