At this moment, the North Gate City was in panic and chaos.

Zhang Fei took away most of the soldiers and horses, and the defenders who remained in Fancheng were no more than [-] people, and at most [-] were allocated to the North Gate.

The two hundred or so defenders were naturally panicked in the face of Cao's army who suddenly appeared outside the city.

Jia Xu arrived in a hurry, climbed to the top of the city to look north, and couldn't help gasping for breath.

In the northern wilderness, the dust and fog covered the sky and the sun, and the banner of Cao Jun was looming, at least as many as a thousand faces.

In such a battle, at least [-] troops would attack.

"Then what means did Cao Cao use to secretly transfer so many troops to Xinye?"

Jia Xu muttered to himself, astonishment and confusion flashed in his eyes.

At this time.

More than a hundred Jingzhou troops120, ahead of Cao's troops, fled to the city in embarrassment, shouting to open the city gate.

These Jingzhou troops are clearly Zhang Fei's troops!

Jia Xu became more and more uneasy, and asked sharply, "Where is General Zhang Yide?"

"We were caught in an ambush by Cao Jun, and the entire army was wiped out!"

"General Yide, also beat that Cao general Zhao Yun, and was executed by that conspiracy sage Su Yi!"

Cao Jun, who was under the city, shouted in horror.

Jia Xu swayed and took a half step back.

The defenders at the head of the city all changed their color in dismay, and immediately fell into a panic.

"Our four thousand troops are all gone?"

"General Yide had the courage of Lu Bu, but he died in battle!"

"Su Yi, it's Cao Cao's missionary, he's here!"

The screams echoed through the city.

Jia Xu was absent-minded for a long time, and suddenly his eyes shook, and he suddenly woke up.

"Then Su Yi once persuaded Cao Cao to kill Guan Yu, who is Zhang Fei's enemy. He must have calculated that Zhang Fei was eager for revenge, so he used himself as bait to lure Zhang Fei to lead the army to pursue him, and set up an ambush halfway!"

"This person's insight into people's hearts is truly incredible!"

Jia Xu suddenly realized that, a layer of cold sweat was soaked on his pale face.

Suddenly, he felt a deep regret.

If I had known earlier that there was Su Yi under Cao Cao's command, he would not have rebelled for Zhang Xiu's offer to surrender and tried to kill Cao Cao when he was in Wancheng.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.

"At least [-] Cao troops outside the city, and only [-] people in Fancheng. Even if I transfer all of them to the North Gate, I can't stop them. No, I can't stay here and wait to die..."

Jia Xu rolled his eyes and left the panic-stricken soldiers at the head of the city, and quietly went down the city.

He got on his horse, whipped his whip and ran wildly, heading straight for the south gate to escape.

Outside the North Gate.

In the wild dust, Zhang Liao and Cao Hong were galloping on their horses.

Three hundred war horses, each of which had a large branch tied to its tail, setting off a mad dust.

Seven hundred foot soldiers, each holding a banner high, creating an endless sea of ​​flags.

It is this small means that can set off a battle of thousands of troops.

Looking into the distance, the Jingzhou army at the north gate was already in chaos, obviously shocked.

"Wen Yuan, that little trick of Young Master Su is really wonderful, he really deceived the defenders of Fancheng!"

Cao Hong exclaimed excitedly.

Zhang Liao also praised: "It is said that Su Gongzi used the same method to deceive Liu Bei once when he was Xiaopei. This should be the second time he used it on Liu Bei. I didn't expect it to still work."

Cao Hong laughed wildly and shouted, "Then what are we waiting for, take advantage of the situation to invade Fancheng, and don't let Young Master Su's plan fail!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhang Liao beat his horse and whipped his whip, and led his cavalry to charge out first.

Cao Hong commanded the infantry and followed closely behind.

North Gate City Head.

As soon as Jia Xu left, the Jingzhou defenders lost their command and did not dare to resist, so they all fled.

Cao Jun cut through the drawbridge and opened the gate with no effort.

A thousand Cao troops on foot and cavalry rushed into Fancheng with a roar.

On the north gate tower, a banner with the character "Cao" has been raised high, announcing that the gate of Xiangyang has changed hands.

Cao Hongtong's infantry went to occupy the key points of Fancheng, while Zhang Liao led his cavalry along the main street and went straight to the south gate.
