Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Ma Su smiled slightly and said calmly:
"It seems that my unconventional approach has unexpectedly worked."

Looking up from the tower, all the generals showed expressions of amazement.

Their eyes were filled with admiration as they watched Ma Su's retreating figure.

"Digging tunnels is correct, but it's not a traditional tunneling method."

“I chose to stop digging the tunnel down to the city, and then hollowed out the surrounding underground space and supported it with wood to prevent it from collapsing.”

"This way, the amount of work is reduced and it is less likely to be discovered."

"When the time is right, burn the pillars with kerosene. Without the support, the hollow walls will naturally be unable to bear the weight of the city walls and will collapse."

"In this way, Nain City will fall without a fight!"

"This plan is truly ingenious and astounding."

Lu Xun murmured to himself, his heart filled with emotion.

At this moment, Xiao Fang had already descended from the watchtower and mounted his horse.

He drew his sword and pointed it directly at Nain City:
"Sound the bugle! All troops, charge! Enter Nain!"

A chilling bugle call rang out, shattering the tranquility of dusk.

The camp gates swung open, and Zhuge Dan and his generals charged out at the forefront.

Tens of thousands of Han soldiers, like tigers descending the mountain or wolves unleashed from their cages, surged out of the camp gates and rushed straight towards the west gate of Nain.

With the city walls collapsed and the morale of the surviving Parthian army shattered, how could they possibly withstand the fierce offensive of the Han army?

In the blink of an eye, countless Han soldiers poured into the city from the collapsed ruins.

Large flags embroidered with the Chinese character "汉" (Han) fluttered in the sky above Nainsi.

……

Inside the county government building, Ibrahimovic and Sari were raising their glasses in a toast.

Ibrahimovic took a sip of his drink and began to paint a grand picture of Fritz's future.

It seemed as if the Battle of Nain was already a foregone conclusion, and Xiao Fang's defeat was also a foregone conclusion.

His gaze was no longer limited to the battle before him.

Sari listened with great interest, his eyes filled with admiration, and he would occasionally pour wine for Ibrahimovic.

"Mr. Ibrahimovic is truly like a god, able to control the entire battle situation with ease!"

Upon hearing this, Sari was completely convinced and bowed deeply with his hands clasped in respect.

Ibrahimovic's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of smugness, and he was about to say a few words of modesty.

Just then, a soldier rushed in and fell to the ground.

"Something terrible has happened! The west gate has suddenly collapsed, and the Han army has taken advantage of the situation to storm into Nain City!"

The soldiers shouted.

Ibrahimovic's smug expression vanished instantly, and he lost his grip on the wine glass, which fell to the ground.

A flicker of terror crossed his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Nonsense! How could that be?!"

"The enemy hasn't even attacked the city, how could the west gate have fallen!"

Sarri grabbed the soldier and roared in fury:

"You dare to lie about military intelligence, spouting complete nonsense! I'll take your head right now!"

"How dare I lie about military intelligence?"

The soldier, trembling with fear, explained in a tearful voice:

"I'm telling the truth, Ximen didn't just fall in, it collapsed!"

Ibrahimovic and Salah looked at each other, their eyes filled with bewilderment and astonishment.

If it falls, it falls; what is meant by collapse?

Just as they were puzzled, Hesha, wounded by an arrow, stumbled into the hall.

"The west gate has been captured by the Han army. Xiao Fang has led his troops into the city. Nayin City cannot be defended!"

Hesha fell to the ground, his voice hoarse with excitement, and said:

"We have to break through, we have to break through quickly!"

Seeing Hesha's horribly injured state, Ibrahimovic and Sari turned deathly pale. Westgate was undoubtedly lost!

But that just doesn't make sense!

If Xiao Fang attacks the city, He Sha will definitely send someone to warn them and ask them to send reinforcements to the west gate.

Why did Xiao Fang break into the West Gate so quickly without giving any warning?
Even if Hesha is useless, he couldn't be this useless, could he?

Even if Xiao Fang is a genius in military strategy, he couldn't be that genius, could he?

Ibrahimovic staggered to his feet, rushed forward, grabbed Hesha, and roared almost hysterically:

"Since Xiao Fang has already attacked the west gate, why didn't you ask me for help sooner?"

Hesha cried out:
"I want to ask for help too!"

"But before I could call for help, our city wall suddenly collapsed."

"Our soldiers were caught off guard and fell one after another."

"That's when I realized that the cunning Xiao Fang had somehow dug a big hole under our city wall!"

Ibrahimovic was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

Hollow?

Xiao Fang did not resort to the old tricks of digging tunnels and sending soldiers to sneak into the city.

He actually dug a huge hole under the city gate, causing the city wall to collapse without warning!

With such an unbelievable and shocking method, they easily conquered Nain City without losing a single soldier.
"This is an unprecedented and ingenious strategy for breaching a city!"

"This must be another of Xiao Fang's tricks."

"Only he could come up with such a wildly imaginative and astonishing scheme!"

Ibrahimovic suddenly realized what was happening, staggered back several steps, and stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

His face froze, frozen in that moment of shock and despair.

The sounds of killing were already faintly ringing in my ears, chilling me to the bone like a death knell.

Sari was immediately thrown into disarray, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Ibu, didn't you say with such confidence that Xiao Fang was planning to dig a tunnel to sneak into the city?"

"The tunnel hasn't been dug in yet, but the city wall has collapsed. What exactly happened? Answer me!"

Ibrahimovic's face was filled with despair and shame as he sighed deeply:
"Xiao Fang is truly a man of extraordinary wisdom and unpredictable abilities; we are no match for him."

"I still can't figure out how he did it."

Sarri was speechless, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

At this moment, soldiers rushed in one after another, presenting urgent reports that came in like snowflakes.

The Han army infantry and cavalry that entered the city were unstoppable and were rushing towards the prefectural capital.

"The enemy has 50,000 troops. Now that the west gate has been breached, Nain City will surely fall!"

"The most urgent task is to abandon the city and break out of the siege, in order to plan for the future!"

Hesha's voice was hoarse as he earnestly advised her.

Ibrahimovic stiffened, a wave of sorrow washing over him.

The outside is full of Han troops, and whether a breakout will be successful is still unknown.

Even if they manage to break through, how should they face Fritz's criticism?
Losing Nain ruined Fritz's entire plan and destroyed his grand vision.

This would allow Xiao Fang's troops to reach the Gu'an River, posing a serious threat to Parthia.

"Ibrahimovic, as long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. Stop saving face and stick to your life."

Hesha also earnestly advised him, his words sincere and earnest.

Ibrahimovic was jolted awake, as if suddenly jolted back to his senses.

"Pass down the order: abandon Nain City immediately and break out through the south gate!"

Ibrahimovic yelled hoarsely, drew his sword, and strode away without hesitation.

Sari and Hesha breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly fled, fearing that if they were a step too late, their lives would be in danger.

So the three men, leading fewer than a thousand Parthian soldiers, rushed out of the south gate of Nain and fled south in a desperate, fleeing manner, like stray dogs. (End of Chapter)
