In Jiaozhou City, Xie Min looked at the tens of thousands of Jiaozhou troops who rushed back overnight, and he was anxious.

He approached Hu Chun and asked, "The whole army has withdrawn to Jiaozhou City, what is this trying to do?"

"Reliable information, the barbarians are going to attack Jiaozhou City." Hu Chun said helplessly.

"Then you can't withdraw the whole army to the city, what if the barbarians find out and invade other counties?" Xie Min stomped his feet anxiously.

Now in Jiaozhou City, there are 15,000 Jiaozhou troops, 2,000 Royal Forest Army, and 1,050 bandit troops. The troops of the entire Jiaozhou are all gathered here.

At this time, in case of barbarian invasion, those county towns and villages in Najiaozhou can only be slaughtered!

"Lord Shen said that he had a way to hide from the barbarians." Hu Chun scratched his head.

Di Xingchang, who was outside, heard the conversation between the two, so he broke in and sneered, "General Hu, you are really dizzy. You dare to listen to that kid for such a big thing?"

Hu Chun was speechless for a while.

Di Xingchang continued, "I heard that that kid is accumulating military merits for himself, so we don't need to die for him. You hurry up and give the order now, let the Jiaozhou army go back to garrison, don't listen to that kid's nonsense!"

Xie Min pondered for a moment, then nodded, "This is indeed the most appropriate way, and when we find out the situation of the barbarians, it is not too late to make a transfer!"

"This ......," Hu Chun hesitated.

At this moment, the bell of Jiaozhou City suddenly rang loudly, and someone shouted, "Enemy attack!!"

"What?" The faces of the three of them changed.

Hu Chun immediately went out and asked, "Who knocked?"

"An army of barbarians!"

"How many?"

"More than 8,000!"

"Eight thousand??" Hu Chun's eyes widened in disbelief.

The whole army of the barbarians is only more than 8,000 people, so they really raised the strength of the whole army to attack the city!

Di Xingchang and Xie Min in the back were a little flustered, they couldn't figure it out, how could the barbarians make such a move?

But after thinking about it, Xie Min breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that Lord Qincha has really concealed the barbarians, and our whole army is gathered to meet the barbarian army!"

"This ...... That's okay too?" Di Xingchang was dumbfounded.

Hu Chun hurriedly took out the envelope given by Shen Yunfan last night, and after looking at it carefully, he looked serious and said loudly: "The whole army listens to my orders and prepares to fight!"

……

Outside the city, Marriott rode a sturdy war horse, and he was imposing.

Behind him, 8,000 soldiers lined up!

"Little guys, that dog official is acting in Linxi County today, and he must have set up an ambush to trick us. That's why I'm sure that the troops in this Jiaozhou city are empty, so let's kill them today!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this time, Hu Chun stood on the city tower and shouted: "The soldiers in Jiaozhou City are strong and strong, and you, a defeated general, dare to come to die?"

"Don't bluff, there's a kind of you letting the defenders out!" Marriott shouted.

Hu Chun's face was nervous and flustered.

Seeing this, Marriott became more confident and beckoned, "Siege!"

Although the barbarian soldiers lived in the mountains and forests, they had been dealing with the Jiaozhou army for a long time, and they had also learned a lot of technology, and now they set up siege rams to charge.

The battle was about to break out, and the 8,000 barbarian army stormed the south gate of Jiaozhou City.

The defenders did not dare to come out, but only dared to rely on the city to defend, and arrows rained down.

The barbarian army suffered a lot of casualties on its side, but with the help of siege equipment, it still managed to break through the first layer of the city gate, and the army smoothly poured into the urn city.

They only need to break the second layer of the city gate, and they can enter the city of Jiaozhou and act recklessly!

But just when Marriott thought that the victory was decided, a thunderous rush suddenly sounded all around.

"What's going on?" His face changed dramatically.

The spies behind almost crawled into the urn city and shouted, "Chief, there are many troops coming out of the east and west gates of Jiaozhou City, and they have surrounded us!"

"How many?"

"More than 10,000!"

"Impossible!" Marriott frowned. But when he withdrew from the urn city, he was stunned.

I saw that the outside was densely packed with all the Jiaozhou Army, and there were indeed more than 10,000 people on such a scale!

And the army of their barbarians was surrounded by this urn city and became a turtle in the urn!

Now, you can't beat it, and you can't run away!

Marriott's face turned pale with fright, but at this decisive moment, he knew that he couldn't mess up, so he pretended to be calm and commanded, "The barbarian soldiers are the bravest, rush out for me!"

The rearguard of the army turned to the front and rushed out with a roar.

However, the formation of the encirclement had been formed, and the Jiaozhou army set up heavy crossbows for shooting horses, and hundreds of people were shot to the ground in one volley.

The charging troops were forced to retreat.

In fact, whether it is in terms of number or strength, the barbarian army is far inferior to the Jiaozhou army. In the past, the barbarian army relied on flexible maneuvers and the cover of the western mountains and forests to play with the Jiaozhou army.

But today, they fell into a trap and were besieged by the whole army of Jiaozhou, which is already a certain death!

Marriott knows it's all over.

"Why? Why are all the Jiaozhou troops in the city?" He said in despair.

At this moment, Hu Chun walked out of the city gate alone, and while walking towards this side, he said, "Lord Shen, everything has been calculated."

The barbarian warriors around him raised their spears and were about to make a move, but Marriott stopped him and said, "Don't touch him!"

Only then did everyone get out of the way and let Hu Chun pass through.

Marriott asked in a hoarse voice, "So, he asked you to set a trap and wait for me to attack the city?"

"Not bad." Hu Chun nodded.

To show the enemy weakness, first put people into the urn city, and then divide the troops to attack from the east and west gates, and surround the enemy army in one fell swoop, this is exactly the tactic written in Shen Yunfan's envelope.

Marriott leaned against the city wall in a daze, his expression a little depressed.

In three days, seven defeats, he lost completely. And in the last battle, he lost all the barbarian army.

A soldier next to him shouted, "Don't admit defeat, leader, let's kill you!"

"No." Marriott shook his head.

Besieged in this kind of plains, no matter how strong they are, they can only be used as targets for heavy crossbows. If you want to break through, there will be a river of blood, and no one will be able to escape.

He's already a failure!

But just when he was desperate, Hu Chun said coldly, "Lord Shen also asked me to tell you a word."

"What?"

"Are you taking it now? If you don't accept it, I can let you go."

Marriott was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. It looked like he was going crazy.

It was only after a while that he fell to his knees.

"I'm convinced."

"The barbarians have fallen!" Hu Chun was overjoyed.

The defenders of Jiaozhou all cheered. The big trouble in my heart for so many years has finally been solved!

Marriott said seriously: "I don't obey you, I only surrender to Shen Yunfan alone."

In the past three days, he has been completely impressed by Shen Yunfan.

"Whatever you want." Hu Chun didn't care, anyway, Shen Yunfan was a great official of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and surrendering to him was equivalent to surrendering to the Southern Wei Dynasty, there was no difference.

But just when everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, a Jiaozhou soldier suddenly ran outside, almost hysterically shouting, "Oh no, Lord Shen has been taken away by the barbarians!"

Rumble!

This bombshell news made everyone's faces change!
