"Wen Yuan, in order to buy time for the troops who set up an ambush in the south, I want you to lead the army to hold on to Manbo City for three days, and drag down the pace of the Xianbei people going south!" Zhao Xing, who led the army to break through to Manbo City, said to Zhang Liao.

"Don't say three days, even thirty days!" Zhang Liao said confidently, "I don't know how many men and horses to garrison Manbo City?"

"There are only two thousand Crouching Tiger pawns!" Zhao Xing said expressionlessly.

"What? Let me command the remaining 2,000 foot soldiers of the Crouching Tiger Army? Doesn't the new Crouching Tiger Army have 7,000 foot soldiers available?" Zhang Liao almost jumped to his feet.

"The 7,000 Crouching Tiger New Army will join forces with the 10,000 vanguard army, divided into three routes: left, center, and right, and cooperate with the 8,000 cavalry led by Lu Bu to set up an ambush near Meiji and fight a decisive battle with the Xianbei people!" Zhao Xing explained to Zhang Liao.

"As long as the Crouching Tiger New Army participates in the decisive battle, I thought that the main attack would not have the part of the Crouching Tiger New Army!" Zhang Liao scratched his brain embarrassedly.

"Manbo City is different from Wuyuan City, the defense is weak, there is almost no danger to defend, you must not be rash, once you can't do anything, abandon the city, and go south to join the army!" Zhao Xing said with some unease.

"Third brother, don't be verbose, hurry up and lead the army south, I have two thousand heavy armor iron army guards, forgive that and Lian can help me!"

"Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao, the two of you will lead the two thousand Crouching Tiger Army to temporarily fall under the command of Commander Zhang, and all actions will be under his orders, and there must be no slackness!" Zhao Xingcheng and Deng said to the two.

"Obey the general's orders!" Cheng and Deng hurriedly got up and said.

As soon as Zhao Xing led the army to leave, Zhang Liao immediately entered Manbo City with 2,000 foot soldiers, and the army of Helian Eastward was only a short day's journey from Wudu City, thirty miles north of Manbo.

After Zhang Liao entered the city, he immediately ordered the soldiers to dismantle the wood and masonry from the houses in the city, and pile them all on the city wall, so that they could be used as simple sandalwood rolling stones. Thinking that there were 50,000 or 60,000 Xianbei people, Zhang Liao was a little worried, and wanted to drag the Xianbei people south, and the only way was to completely anger Helian and let Helian attack Manbo City. But if you really want to be angry with Lian like this, I am afraid that the situation of the two thousand brothers in the city will be in danger.

Zhang Liao, who was thinking about it, suddenly remembered that when he was studying in the Crouching Tiger Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Xing once introduced a tactic called "tunnel warfare" to everyone, and he immediately remembered it.

At noon the next day, He Lian led nearly 60,000 troops to Wudu City, as Xianbei people expected, it was an empty city, and there was not even a figure in the city, and as for food and forage, don't even think about it. All the way south, the Han people made this set of tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, which made Helian very annoyed. The strategy of "fighting to nourish war" proposed by Helian was not created by him, and this was what the Xianbei people did in the past. But this time, seeing that more than half of the grain and grass have been consumed, and the army has not yet picked up decent supplies, how can he not be in a hurry?

Angrily, Helian did not enter Wudu City with his people at all, but led a large army to rush towards Manbo again, and arrived at Manbo City in the evening. He Lian then passed down the order: "The army will rest in the city for the night, and tomorrow it will march east to take Shanan!"

Didn't Zhao Xing let Zhang Liao garrison Manbo City? Where did Zhang Liao and the two thousand foot soldiers go? The answer is that they went underground!

Located on the edge of the desert, the city is not difficult to excavate due to its soft soil. Zhang Liao used two days to organize his subordinates to dig tunnels in black and white, and took out a big D-Ng under the city of Manbo in one go, and hid all the 2,000 soldiers in the D-Ng, just waiting for the Xianbei people to drive into the city carelessly, and suddenly came out of the D-Ng at night, killing and even catching one off guard!

The Xianbei people, who had occupied several empty cities in a row, did not expect that there were still 2,000 Han troops hidden under their feet. At night, the Xianbei people were left with only a few troops to guard the four m-n, and the rest fell asleep, losing their due vigilance.

In the second half of the night, that is, when people are most likely to be sleepy, Zhang Liao climbed out of several exits with 2,000 soldiers, killed people and set fire to Manbo City, and stirred them up, making the Xianbei people suffer a lot.

Helian, who was sleeping peacefully, suddenly heard shouts outside the tent, and quickly got up to ask what was going on. The incomprehensible soldiers only said that there were a large number of Han troops in the city, and asked Da Danyu to leave Manbo City. He Lian was shocked, thinking that he had been ambushed by the Han people, so he hurriedly led the men and horses out of the city, and when he was about to walk to the north m-n, he suddenly rushed out of the Han army in the oblique stab, and he didn't say much, and he killed people with a knife.

Because it was night, and Zhang Liao ordered people to set fires everywhere, 1u-n in Manbo City was in an uproar, and no one paid attention to Helian's whereabouts. The hundreds of people who rushed out of the oblique stab were the death squads led by Zhang Liao, and they charged to the death towards Helian.

The left and right guards of Helian were all warriors in the Xianbei clan, and when they saw a group of Han soldiers rushing towards their own leaders, they naturally tǐng their bodies correspondingly, and they had to protect Helian well. Zhang Liao, who was on the rise of the killing, suddenly felt that the movement of the troops was a little sluggish, and when he looked up, a group of Xianbei people in front of him were obviously better at hand-to-hand R-U fighting, and they were actually inseparable from his own Crouching Tiger soldiers. Zhang Liao roared, and rushed forward with the "Yellow Dragon Hook Scythe".

In the past year, Zhang Liao has fought dozens of battles with the Xianbei people, and he is very thorough about the scimitars and attack paths of the Xianbei people. In Zhang Liao's view, in fact, the Xianbei people are also fathers and mothers, in addition to being good at riding horses and sh-arrows, if you really put the right child in hand-to-hand combat, it is better to cooperate with the tacit understanding of the Han army. Because the Xianbei people will only be a personal hero, once they get off the horse, they will be like a tiger with their teeth pulled out, so he dared to say to Zhao Xing that with two thousand heavy armored infantry, he was not afraid to fight with the Xianbei army of tens of thousands of people.

Carrying a big knife, Zhang Liao rushed up like a mad tiger, and there was no enemy under his command. As long as the Xianbei people who are involved with him are either dead or injured, but Zhang Liao, on the other hand, is fighting more and more fiercely, in addition to being covered with the blood of the Xianbei people, the Xianbei people who fight in close quarters are difficult to even touch him.

Because of Zhang Liao's joining, the soldiers of the Crouching Tiger Army suddenly increased their confidence, and the big shield soldiers in front withstood the attack of the Xianbei people, and the spear throwers in the middle kept throwing short spears in the North Korean Beiren pile, and the longbowmen behind fiercely pulled the full bow to kill the Xianbei people.

With the help of the faint firelight, He Lian saw that the Han soldiers not far away were frantically killing the Xianbei people, and he couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart, because he couldn't understand the situation, He Lian had to rush out of the city under the desperate protection of the guards, and slowly gathered the panicked people.

That night, Zhang Liao used a trick to hunt and kill more than 4,000 Xianbei people, and the Xianbei people trampled on each other in a panic 1u-n, and injured another 4 or 5,000 men and horses, while Zhang Liao's Crouching Tiger Jīng soldiers were rarely injured by mistake due to night combat training, and only lost 10% of their combat strength.

At dawn, the city of Manbo fell into the hands of the Han army again. The Xiongnu Da Dan Yu was provoked by Zhang Liao's sneak attack, and quickly ordered people to gather the routs everywhere, and at noon they counted the number of people, and now they have lost nearly 10,000 horses. He Lian then prepared his men and horses to start the siege on the morning of the third day, and annihilated all the Han troops in the city of Manbo.
