Chapter 70: The Empty City

In the afternoon, at a loss.

In the northwest direction of Gaoyuan City, rolling dust appeared.

Looking up, I saw a thick black line rolling from the other end of the horizon, getting thicker and thicker.

Immediately afterwards, two huge battle flags appeared at the end of the vision.

The characters "Liu" and "Shan" are written respectively.

Under the flag, the sharp sword, halberd, spear and spear pointed directly at the sky, as cold as a forest.

That was the eight thousand Youzhou troops led by Liu Bei and Shan Jing, who were rushing towards Gaoyuan at this time.

The rumbling sound of iron hooves gradually stopped, and eight thousand Youzhou infantry and cavalry drove to five hundred steps outside Gaoyuan City and stopped, forming a siege.

The area within a radius of ten miles was covered by strong murderous aura, and even the birds did not dare to land and rest.

But the moment they stopped, the brave soldiers widened their eyes and looked at the city ahead with an incredible look.

There are no imagined rolling stones and wood, no golden crossbow, and not even a decent flag.

But there was no battle flag on Gaoyuan City, and no one was seen. Only a few old men at the gate were casually sprinkling water and sweeping the floor, and a few children chasing and playing, who did not even put the murderous intent of Lin Ran. The state army takes it seriously.

It was a single sutra that was sure to win, but at this moment, he suddenly tied the horse rope and felt a deep sense of surprise and confusion on his face.

It was as if Zhang He's army in Gaoyuan City had all withdrawn, and at this time there was only an empty city standing here.

A gust of south wind blew towards us, and the city in front of us was so quiet that it was strange that it was so strange that it made people feel a little radiant on their backs.

Shan Jing called the scout and asked for guilt, "What's going on? How did you find out the information? Didn't you say that six thousand soldiers poured into the city?"

The scout looked nervous and bowed tremblingly, "Go back to General, in the next two days, I have indeed seen nearly 6,000 soldiers entering the city gate."

It can be seen that the scout did not lie, but if this happens, Liu Bei will be even more confused.

Pan Feng led his troops into the city with great fanfare, and then showed a strange scene of no one in the empty city.

This series of contrasting operations really made Liu Bei frown and he couldn't understand what trick Pan Feng was using.

Shan Jing rolled his throat and turned around and asked, "Xuande, the layout in this city is quite strange. Do you think it is to attack the city or not?"

At this time, Zhang Fei, who was standing beside him, couldn't help it, waved his arm and shouted: "Brother is waiting for what? The city gate has been opened for us. If you don't rush in, you'll still rush in. When will we wait!"

Liu Bei frowned deeply and judged: "Pan Feng is not an incompetent person. This person likes to win with surprise soldiers the most. Such a false layout is probably just to lure us into siege. Then when we enter the city, he ambushed. The soldiers and horses in the city suddenly came out and caught us off guard."

"Brother is over-thinking. Maybe there are no soldiers in this city, so this may be just a trick to doubt the military."

Guan Yu stroked Piaopiao's beard with one hand and dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Sword with the other hand, sneered confidently: "Whether you have any troops, please let Guan lead a soldier into the city and fight to the front, and you will know the truth."

"How can I take risks with my second brother?"

Liu Bei's eagle eyebrows were fixed, then he turned his eyes to the scout who was exploring the way, and ordered: "If you know the truth of Gao Yuan, you will lead thirty horses and go to the city to inquire first."

"Ah?" The scout was startled and said with a panic look on his face: "General, the youngest one is just a way to explore. If the soldiers and horses in the city are fighting out, wouldn't they die without a place to die?"

"Ye! Just go if you ask me to go. If you don't dare to go, I will stab you to death!" Zhang Fei's eyes widened and shouted like thunder.

Liu Bei's face looked like ice and he was speechless, obviously not in the mood to listen to the scout's plea.

The scout had no choice but to lead thirty cavalry and horses straight towards the city gate.

After more than ten steps into the city gate, the scout gradually calmed down and thought there was no ambush. Just as he was about to turn back and report, a cold light flashed.

An arrow broke through the wind and penetrated directly through his face.

Immediately afterwards, a cavalry general came from the inner city with a spear in his hand, and the soldiers and armor were surging like a tide behind him.

Looking further back, there was dust and sand that overturned the sky and the sun. Suddenly, thousands of battle flags appeared, flying all over the sky, as if more than ten thousand soldiers were rushing towards them.

Seeing this scene, Liu Guanzhang and Shan Jing, who were watching the battle in the distance, were shocked to change their color.

Who would have thought that the fierce soldiers and horses were actually ambushed in this empty city.

Looking at the momentum, the countless battle flags in the dust, there were at least nearly ten thousand soldiers.

In other words, the soldiers who the scouts saw in the past two days were not a trick, but Pan Feng had really led his troops back to the rescue.

Then he deliberately set up an empty city for him. When Liu Bei entered the city, he led his army out and killed Liu Bei.

"If there are ambushers, retreat quickly. If they don't retreat, they will come out!" In a panic, Shan Jing immediately pulled out his sword from his waist, shook his sword and ordered the three armies to retreat.

Otherwise, the ambushers nearby would emerge, and they would inevitably be in a state of entanglement.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't care about the thirty knights in the city, and immediately turned around and rode their horses away.

Zhang He in the city led a light cavalry to kill all the thirty cavalry.

Then he stood proudly under the city gate and saw Liu Bei's army retreating in a panic manner, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The big-eared thief is really afraid to fight. Don't slap them, just close the city gate!"

Zhang He raised his hand and sniffled, and the dust behind him gradually dissipated.

Looking at this time, there were not nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses, but only a thousand soldiers and horses behind him.

However, every soldier held a battle flag in his hand and tied a battle flag on his back. Then he waved the dust and sand with the battle flag to disguise the rushing force of thousands of troops.

Before Guo Jia left, the strategy that he left was to ask Zhang He to restore Dong Zhuo's method first and then use the empty city strategy.

If it is empty, it is real, and if it is real, it is empty. If it is empty, it is real. In this way, Liu Bei will definitely not dare to enter the city in a short period of time.

......

After the Youzhou army retreated in front of Gaoyuan, they retreated for more than ten miles in a row.

Confirm that no soldiers were chasing him, Shan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Liu Bei, and sighed: "If it weren't for your Xuande's discovery of Pan Feng's trick, we would have been in great danger at this time.

Surrounded..."

Guan Yu narrowed his penis and bowed his hands and said, "Fortunately, my elder brother used cavalry to explore the way, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable."

Listening to the flattery of Shan Jing and Guan Yu, Liu Bei gently stroked his short beard, and his eyes flashed for a few moments of undetectable pride.

That pride seemed to be saying, even though you, Pan Feng, had some tricks, but I could see through your ambush plan at a glance.

It’s a mere trick to make me foolishly foolish, Liu Bei, is simply a dream!

Zhang Fei asked loudly, "Then won't we attack the city? Wouldn't this be a waste of time!"

Now the news that Liu Bei and Shan Jing attacked Gao Yuan has spread like wildfire.

This means that Liu Bei, Kong Rong, Shan Jing, and even Gongsun Zan behind him have officially broken up with Pan Feng.

Liu Bei's thoughts were surging in his mind, thinking about a way to break the situation. At this moment, a cavalry scout came from the direction of Yecheng to the west.

"General! Yecheng urgently reported—"
