These soldiers guarding the gate are the soldiers of the county and the people who are temporarily recruited, how can they be the opponents of the powerful Flying Dragon Battalion, not to mention that the main general Cao Cheng is dead, coupled with He Man's big drink, although they don't know whether it is true or false, but it also makes them afraid.

He Man rushed left and right as if he were in a no-man's land, and in a moment he reached the city gate, while letting people open the city gate, and on the other hand, he turned back to block the enemy army that rushed over.

"Squeak! The city gate was finally opened, and He Man led ten elite men to rush out while letting the city gate be guarded.

"Sonorous! Sonorous! With the sound of dozens of gold and iron strikes, the broken bridge was put down with a "clang".

"Kill into the city" "Kill" Seeing the fire in the city, Zhang Fei, who had already arrived, shouted: led five hundred elite horsemen to rush into the south gate, and the south gate guards, who were originally evenly matched with the Flying Dragon Guard, were suddenly killed by Zhang Fei and turned over on their backs, and they scattered and fled for their lives.

The rise of Zhang Fei's killing, rushing left and right in the city, made the already chaotic Cao Bao army even more chaotic, at this time Liu Bei, Mi Fang, Gao Ping led the main infantry into the city.

In the chaos, Cao Bao's army had just woken up from sleep, and some of them had not even worn all their clothes and armor, coupled with the more than 20,000 rabble people who ran around and trampled on each other, Cao Bao restrained for a long time and only gathered a few thousand elite soldiers, and was driven by Liu Bei to rush and kill, and fled out of the north gate in a hurry, and there were less than 10,000 horses when he collected the defeated soldiers all the way and fled back to the East China Sea.

The fighting in Xiapi City in the middle of the night finally subsided. After the war, the inventory found that 15,000 enemies were killed and more than 10,000 surrendered, most of which were miscellaneous soldiers temporarily recruited by Cao Bao. And Liu Beijun also lost about 3,000 people, so the 10,000 horses brought from Xuzhou were only more than 6,000 left, plus the original defenders of Xiapi were only 8,000. Zhang Fei and others were very excited about this result. However, Gao Ping secretly frowned. In the end, the losses are so large, it seems that Liu Beijun's combat effectiveness is still too low. This has not yet faced Cao Cao's elite soldiers, if you face Cao Cao's men, I am afraid it will be the end of the annihilation of the whole army, no wonder in history, Liu Bei and Cao Cao always lose, the combat effectiveness of this army occupies a large part of the reason.

After cleaning up the remnants of Cao Bao in the city, Liu Bei convened everyone to discuss the matter.

Liu Bei sat in the center, Gao Ping, and Zhang Fei sat on the left and right. Under Zhang Fei are Mi Fang and He Man. Gao Ping was the only one under Jian Yong.

"Although Cao Bao's talent is not good, he has also commanded the army for many years, why was he turned around by Ziqing, and finally the army was defeated" Jian Yong asked puzzled, and at the same time, this was also a question in everyone's hearts.

"Hehe" Gao Ping smiled and explained, "Do you know what is the most powerful of the thirty-six tactics in the Art of War?" ”

In all fairness, each of the 36 strategies is a classic of war, and it is really not easy to distinguish which is stronger and which is weak.

Everyone shook their heads and said nothing.

"Thirty-six strategies, go for the best plan" Gao Ping stood up and explained: "The so-called walking, to distinguish it from running away." Our army secretly infiltrated Xiapi, took it by surprise, and defeated the enemy vanguard Feng Huang, at that time, Ping Xin thought of using Feng Huang's defeated soldiers to blend into the enemy army in order to make internal responses. He selected 400 elites in the army, plus He Man's 100 Flying Dragon Guards, disguised as enemy soldiers and blended into Cao Bao's camp. ”

"But why didn't Cao Bao find out?" Jian Yong asked puzzled.

"Xianhe, don't be impatient, listen to me explain slowly" Gao Ping waved his hand and said: "This is the advantage of walking, walking is not our deliberate running, but leading the enemy to go." When the defeated army returns to the camp, it is inevitable that the enemy is impersonating, and they are usually carefully interrogated, and if there are too many unfamiliar faces, they are the enemy. But as soon as He Man and the others arrived at Cao Bao's camp, the three generals led their troops to chase and kill from behind, so that Cao Bao's suspicions were reduced, and He Man and others entered the camp from the rear of the camp, and at this time, Cao Bao saw the tired color deliberately disguised by the soldiers of the three generals, and the elite in the camp pursued and killed our army, so the attention of the principal in the camp was also all on the battle in front of the camp, and he didn't have the heart to interrogate He Man and the others at all.

"But with so many strange faces entering the camp, why didn't the enemies who stayed behind in the camp find out?" Mi Fang shook her head and wondered. At the same time, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others also looked at Gao Ping in confusion. I think everyone wants to know why.

Gao Ping smiled and said, "In fact, this is due to the recently formed "Flying Eagle" special forces, the formation of "Flying Eagle" is mainly to carry out some special tasks, such as spying on intelligence, fighting against special terrain, as well as siege, assassination, discord, rebellion and so on. But now there is no system, the scale of completion, there is only one 'Shadow', and after the rebellion in Xuzhou is quelled, other departments will be added, and it is the Shadow people who have sent back these information, and I have formulated this strategy after comprehensive analysis."

"You must know that in addition to Cao Bao's Danyang soldiers, the remaining enemy troops are from all directions, so much time, how can they get acquainted with each other, not to mention He Man and others, I'm afraid that the soldiers who sleep in a camp tent at the same time are not familiar with it, and even if Cao Bao's Danyang soldiers stay in the camp, it is not enough to worry, although Cao Bao single-handedly formed and trained the Danyang soldiers, but in order to defend Langya, the remnants of the Yellow Turban in the area of Mount Tai, and the East China Sea area are not in danger to defend, so the troops are scattered in the counties, and they are urgently called, It is also impossible to get to know each other."

"Since Ziqing has already made arrangements, why don't you just let Yide introduce Cao Bao into Xiapi, and set up an ambush halfway to waste military strength," Jian Yong asked.

Gao Ping shook his hand and said, "Alas! Brother Xianhe still doesn't understand' The true meaning of the word 'go', the first only three generals are not enough for Cao Bao to catch up, I set up an ambush halfway, that is, to let Cao Bao see the lord in person against him, think that Cao Bao saw the defeat of the lord and go, will inevitably chase after him, second, is time, if Cao Bao all the way into the city smoothly, then his troops will have plenty of time to rest, my purpose is very simple is to let Cao Bao's troops always tighten a string, third, Cao Bao led the army to chase and kill the three generals in the ambush, although due to the terrain the strategy was not too successful, but also effectively dragged Cao Bao's pace, and then with the lord as bait, let Cao Bao chase to the city of Xiapi, I put down the empty city plan in Xiapi, which made Cao Bao suspicious and did not dare to enter the city. After entering the city, Cao Bao had to carefully search and interrogate everywhere, so that most of the time had passed, and Cao Bao had already forgotten He Man and others, which bought time for He Man and others to hide smoothly, because they were the key. And Cao Bao's rear camp is full of grain and grass, and he didn't dare to rest assured that it would be handed over to the 20,000 rabble, so he had to desperately let them rush to the city, so that Cao Bao's 50,000 people were always running by our noses, how could they not be tired. ”

Gao Ping took a sip of water to moisten his throat and continued: "At midnight, He Man created chaos from the city, and my army attacked from the outside, if the city was only Cao Bao's Danyang elite, we might not be able to take Xiapi, Cao Bao's mistake was that he put the good and bad armies together, and the chaos in the city was together, then the more than 20,000 people became our help, trampling on each other, chaotic, and finally taking Pi lightly."

"Haha" Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The tall boy has a lot of ideas, unlike me who can only fight."

"It's well prepared, why worry about big things!" Liu Bei also praised, but then frowned and said, "But there is still something I don't understand."
