Ge Liang's shouting and screaming seemed to have really come true.

An arrow letter was shot from the city, saying that Cao Pi was determined to defend the city to the death, and in order to reduce food consumption, he would send all the people in the city out this evening.

Aren't you Liu Bei known as the most merciful to the people? Then please feed them!

And there is also a letter in it, saying that in fact, tonight Cao Pi will take advantage of the Han army to settle the people, launch a surprise attack, take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city, I hope the Han army is ready, then I Cao Tai will call you loudly to come and intercept, I hope you can spare our family's lives.

Zhang Fei shouted: "This is impossible! Why do you let people scream casually, and Cao Ren's son really wants to respond? ”

Ge Liang couldn't react at once: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts here!" ”

"Fake, it must be fake!" Zhang Fei shook his head.

Ge Liang took a deep breath and said slowly, "The thing may be true. Otherwise, they would not have waited until evening to drive the people out of the city. Obviously, I want to make trouble while it's dark. ”

Zhang Fei couldn't figure it out: "Since they want to escape, why do they have to notify us first?" Is it really that you have been fooled, Cao Tai is afraid of death and wants to surrender? ”

"It shouldn't be possible. They told us in advance just to make us have some scruples. Ge Liang sighed, "This is really troublesome. They don't care whether the people live or die, and we really can't ignore it. ”

In the evening, the Wei army in the city began to shout: "The people are about to come out, are you ready to accept it?" ”

However, the gates were not opened immediately, but it was not until dark that the people of the city were able to help the old and the young out of the gates.

The Han army shouted and guided: "Don't crowd and panic! Please go to the place where the three red lanterns are hung in front of you! Camp has been set up there! Follow the instructions, go into the camp and rest for the night, and tomorrow at dawn we will provide you with food! Please don't panic and crowd. Causing a riot at night can hurt innocent lives! ”

The people marched in order, but soon after, there was a riot.

"Kill!" A group of Wei soldiers followed closely behind the people, rushed out of the city gate with a loud shout, and slashed a few knives and put a few arrows at the people in front.

The people suddenly fell into a panic, crying for their father and mother to flee in all directions, trampling on each other for a while, and the chaos was incomparable.

"Bang! Boom! Bang bang! Many braziers were lit in the darkness, and the Han army shouted: "Please run to the elevated highway to take shelter!" Note! When you get under the elevated highway, don't move around! Anyone who runs around will be shot as an enemy! ”

The scattered people found a place of refuge again, and quickly surrounded them.

The Wei army, which was following behind, also rushed over, and wanted to continue to cause a riot, but immediately shot a rain of arrows from the elevated road, repulsing them.

It didn't take long for the unrest at the south and north gates to subside, and the Wei troops who had rushed out quickly retreated into the city and closed the gates again.

The Wei troops who rushed out of the west gate were particularly numerous, holding shields, shouting loudly and rushing forward to kill.

And some of the "people" who walked in front and had already entered the Han army's resettlement camp also slashed and set fire everywhere at this time, driving those unarmed civilians to flee in all directions, and met the Wei army rushing from behind, struggling to break through.

In order to prevent the chaos from expanding and being attacked by the enemy, in addition to the Han army releasing arrows at high places, the soldiers of each battalion held the camp and did not dare to move easily.

This Wei army quickly broke out of the encirclement and disappeared into the darkness.

They fled all the way, and after escaping more than ten miles, they changed direction and headed north.

Stumbling until dawn, they still didn't dare to stop, and they were still quickly evacuating.

At this time, a large number of Han troops suddenly appeared in front, and they shouted: "We have been waiting here for a long time!" ”

It turned out that in order to prevent accidental injury to civilians, Ge Liang and Zhang Fei had to deliberately open a few passages to allow the enemy to break through, but they sent men and horses to wait in advance.

When the Wei army saw it, their legs were a little weak, and they still couldn't run away!

The leading Wei generals shouted at the right time: "Don't panic, everyone, now we can only work together to break through!" Don't run for your life. Can't escape! Don't forget, whether you are killed or captured, the treasure you carry with you is no longer yours! ”

It turned out that Cao Pi took out a lot of Yecheng's treasures in advance, distributed them to the soldiers, and repeatedly told them not to surrender, so that the property would be confiscated, and if they were taken prisoner, they might be beheaded and killed.

This trick really worked, and those soldiers were reminded by the leading generals at this time, and one by one they cheered up again, followed behind the general's horse, and rushed forward together to kill the Han army blocking the way.

The two sides immediately fought into a mess.

However, the Han army was here to wait for work, and after all, the Wei army was in a panic and fled for their lives, and it didn't take long for a stalemate, and they soon fell behind.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and under the twilight sky, a huge thunderous roar sounded: "Where is the thief going!" ”

It turned out that Zhang Fei led the cavalry to chase after him again.

The Wei army suddenly lost all their fighting spirit and fled in all directions.

The leader of the army, General Wei, sighed, and had no choice but to flee for his life.

Zhang Fei led the army to rush over quickly, and when he saw that dozens of horsemen had fled in a concentrated manner, he left behind the scattered enemy troops and chased after this group.

The Wei cavalry fled in a panic, and suddenly one of the horses running in front lost its front hooves and fell to the ground, and almost all the horses behind fell with it.

The Han army swarmed up and captured all these people alive.

Zhang Fei came over and identified them one by one, but there was no one he knew.

Zhang Fei was very angry and slapped the leading Wei Jiang is face: "What are you?" Where did Cao Pi die? ”

That Wei Jiang turned his head away, and suddenly opened his big mouth to bite Zhang Fei's palm, but this palm fanned over, it was too fast and too powerful, and he failed to bite people, but was beaten so that his eyes were swollen and his nosebleeds spurted out.

Seeing that the other party dared to bite back, Zhang Fei was even more angry, kicked the man to the ground, and pulled out a knife to cut someone.

The prisoner next to him hurriedly shouted: "The general spares his life, he is our general Xiahou Jiquan!" ”

Zhang Fei's knife stopped at Xiahouwei's neck, it turned out that this was Xiahouwei.

After a pause, he still kicked again: "The guy who is blind and doesn't know what to do is sacrificing his life to cover the Cao family again." ”

Seeing that all the Wei troops were basically captured, Zhang Fei hurriedly returned to Yecheng to find Ge Liang: "Fooled, Cao Pi didn't flee from there at all." ”

Ge Liang was also a little helpless: "It should have escaped from the east gate." Most of the people who came out of the east gate last night were pretended to be Wei soldiers. As soon as they waited for the West Gate to make a big commotion, and when we were distracted, they suddenly echoed with the Wei army in the city behind and broke out of the siege. ”

"No way. At that time, it was impossible to distinguish between the common people and the enemy army. Ge Liang was busy asking people to arrange for the people to return to the city, "But it doesn't matter, didn't we already arrange people far outside the city?" It is hoped that Zhang Nan and Gao Xiang will intercept Cao Pi. Besides, aren't there still Zhang Wei and Wei Yan in front of them who can intercept them? ”
