Qiangdao City.

South City Gate.

Outside the dense forest outside the city, at this time, a group of Qiang soldiers were unkempt and drenched with knives to chase and kill here, and they were all a little embarrassed.

At this moment, they were faltered from the city, and their eyes were a little suspicious as they stared up.

I wonder what happened?

"Hey, no, just now Ben Shuai vaguely heard the sound of a fight in the city, why is it so quiet now?"

At this time, the middle-aged Qiang Qu, who was in charge of camping outside the city, waved a long knife that had already been stained with blood, and his eyes were staring at the movement on the city, a little thoughtful but suspicious.

However, the city was quiet and quiet, and a group of soldiers dressed in Qiang military uniforms were coming to inspect, and there was no movement in the city.

This also caused a strong suspicion in the Qiang Canal below?

"Could it be that the Han army didn't attack the city at all, and the surprise attack on the stables outside the city was just a false shot?"

"But that's not right, I've seen the enemy penetrate into the dense forest, so if they didn't take the opportunity to attack the city, then why is there no news of the Han people now?"

"Or is it that the Han army has already attacked in a sneak attack, but failed to escape?"

Qiang Qu thought about it for a long time, and all kinds of thoughts appeared in his mind with the slightest suspicion.

Above the city.

Several Han generals in the clothes and armor of the Qiang people stopped above the city, staring closely at the thousands of scattered Qiang soldiers below were a little uneasy, Liu Jia's eyes turned, his face was a little nervous, and he couldn't help asking: "Young General, is this strategy really feasible?" ”

"Most of our army has followed Ling Ming and the little general to control the main city, and now if the Qiang people under the city see through this plan and do their best to attack the city, then it will be extremely difficult for our army to resist!"

When these words fell, Zhang Bao, who was about the same size as Guan Ping and had a body of about eight feet and five inches, also showed a trace of worry, and said in a low voice: "Brother, will this move be too risky?" ”

Hearing the words between the two, Guan Ping couldn't feel their worries and worries, but he still smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm sure!" ”

That being said, he was still very apprehensive in his heart.

On the surface, if you want to motivate the generals, you have to be very confident, but in fact, he has no bottom, and secretly mutters: "I can only gamble for today's plan." ”

"As long as I can trick the Qiang people back to camp outside the city tonight, then I have a strategy to break the enemy."

The capture of Qiangdao City was only one of the temporary expansion options in the established plan, but it was not the final strategic plan.

For a long time, the main goal of Guan Ping's surprise attack on Yinping was to defeat the Qiang soldiers and destroy all the military supplies where the stables and others were located, but now because most of the Qiang people are stationed outside the city, their own forces tend to be weak, and they want to compete with them on the plain, how can they win?

Rao is able to win a big victory with his bravery, it is bound to be a situation where he kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, and how can he deter the Cheriji Department who has led the main force south, once the Cao army commander Xiahou Nan swept away, how should he maneuver?

These are all problems that we are facing at this stage but must solve.

Not only must we completely annihilate the Qiang soldiers, but we must not lose too much of our military strength!

After hesitating for a long time, Guan Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, his face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Light the torch, you should avoid retreating first so as not to see the flaws in the Qiang Canal below." ”

As soon as the words fell, the generals retreated one after another, the torches were tied up all around, and the vast night at the head of the city seemed to be illuminated as a dawn like day, and the hall was incomparably bright!

"Qu Shuai, the villain is the captain of the night patrol, an hour ago there was indeed an unknown sergeant attacking the city, although the enemy was taken by surprise but helpless by the desperate resistance of the brothers, Niu Qu Shuai and led the army in time to help, the enemy saw that he could not break the city, and he had already fled."

Guan Ping's face was calm, slowly stepping on the stomping wall and looking down, and bowed respectfully to Qiangqu.

"Did you really defeat the Han thief?"

When the words fell, the Qiang army below couldn't help but talk about it, and they were all a little incredulous.

They had only thoroughly comprehended the combat power of the Han army before the evening, and they were by no means so easy to match, and when the captain of the city patrol said this, they couldn't help but talk about it.

It's not suspicion, it's just incredible.

After thinking for a while, Qiang Qu looked down at the city, looked directly at Guan Ping with sharp eyes, and shouted: "You really repelled the enemy? ”

"You have to know that it was the Han army who came to attack at night, and this sergeant raided our army's camp outside the city before the evening approached, and they are indeed incapable of fighting and should not be underestimated."

After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "It's better for Rukaicheng to let our army enter and stabilize the situation in the city for a period of time, can you?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Guan Ping in the city still didn't know Qiangqu's plan, and he was still suspicious, and wanted to enter the city to find out if it was true.

Gradually calming down, Guan Ping's complexion solemnly counted a few points again, and arched his hand: "Qu Shuai, Niu Shuai has an order, if you hear the movement and lead the crowd to help, then you don't need to enter the city, go back to the city first and continue to camp to prevent all military supplies such as war horses." ”

"Although the enemy was taken by surprise, but the scale is not large, and now the city has been cleared of bandits, and there is no need for a large army to enter the city to deter."

"On the contrary, Niu Shuai warned that war horses, forage and other military supplies are the foundation of our army, and there must be no mistakes, lest the Han army Kecheng not be angry, but instead plunder the camp, Qu Shuai also asked to return to the town as soon as possible is the best policy!"

The words fell slowly, Guan Ping's words were neither humble nor arrogant, not only the instructions of the ruthless commander in the city could not open the city without authorization, but also for the sake of the military supplies where the camp outside the city was located.

This statement is reasonable.

After hearing this, Qiangqu below slowly groaned, and looked around the city again to find out if there were any flaws, but after observing it for a long time by the light of the fire, he found nothing.

"Is it really handsome that people are worried?"

After thinking about it deeply, he was worried: "But the combat power of the Han people is indeed not weak!" ”

With this doubt, he waved his sword and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, withdraw and return to the camp." ”

The order was passed down, and the Qiang soldiers began to form a formation through the dense forest, riding the peripheral war horses and leaving on horseback.

When the Qiang people left, at this time, Zhang Bao and the other generals all showed joy and laughter, and then looked at Guan Ping in unison, with no concealment in their eyes, full of admiration!

"Brother, you are extremely skilled in dealing with changes in the world and the ability to be calm."

"The sword-like remarks of the Qiang Qu just now, and even the order to enter the city almost made me unable to calm down and draw my sword to fight, but I didn't expect my brother to turn the danger into a disaster so easily."

"Little brother really admires!"

At this time, Zhang Bao was full of smiles, and he sincerely admired it.

At this moment, he also knew how big the gap between himself and Guan Ping was.

On that alone, he could not have responded so calmly.

Seeing the admiration of the people around him, Guan Ping smiled, then looked at the back of the Dao Dao Qiang people in the dark night, and said softly: "This is nothing, you should remember that this is just the basic skill on the battlefield, and it is the best policy to calm down and find a breakthrough in case of trouble!" ”

"Now it depends on Ling Ming, the situation on Ah Xing's side, as long as no one from the enemy leaves the city tonight, then there will be a good strategy to annihilate the Qiang people outside the city."

Guan Ping thought.
