Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 254 Trapped in the City
Seeing the current situation, Li Ke nodded.

"No rush, while they are in the city and don't know the situation, you take people to the west gate of the city to surround them. I will take people to the east of the city. In this way, we can completely surround them."

"Yes!"

Gu Wu was waiting for Li Ke to give him an order. After Li Ke finished speaking with him, he immediately led his men to the west gate of the city.

Now the defense of the west gates of these ordinary cities is a bit weak, so he brings a little more people than Li Ke's side, just in case anything unexpected happens.

After Gu Wu arrived at the west gate of the city, he immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Ke. After learning that Gu Wu had brought people to the west gate of the city, Li Ke himself brought people to the east gate of the city himself, and sent a Teams to create chaos.

After all, they had already prepared for an ambush, and it would be meaningless if the Tuyuhun army didn't even know they existed.

At this time, Lanka was still wondering why there was not a single Shu army in Xiping City.

Lanka led the Tuyuhun army all the way in Xiping City. The people in the city had no problems or abnormalities along the way, but they didn't see any data, nor did they see any Tuyuhun garrison.

"Is it possible that they really escaped with prisoners of war? But how could they abandon a city?"

Although Lanka was a little arrogant, he was not so arrogant. It was really because of his reputation that he scared the Shu army away.

"Before the matter is settled, I ask the general to be cautious."

Dole said from the side.

Dole is a powerful strategist under Lanka's command, and it is relying on Dole Lanka that he can climb to his current position step by step.

Therefore, he dotes on this person very much, and stays by his side when he marches and fights. His position in the army can be said to be No. 1 under Lanka.

Lanka usually listens to Duo Le's words very much, so he will definitely follow his suggestions.

"Everyone search separately! See the Shu army and report immediately!"

After Lanka gave the order, he continued to patrol the city with other people.

Not long after Lanka gave the order, he heard a loud bang at the east gate of the city. After hearing the sound, Lanka immediately led people to rush over.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw many people running towards him.

"The general is not good! There is an enemy situation! I don't know what suddenly appeared at our feet just now, and injured many of us!"

The soldiers of Tuyuhun said to Lanka.

When Lanka heard the other party say this, he immediately looked around vigilantly. Could it be that the Shu army is around?
But he obviously didn't even see a single person, how could...

Just when Lanka was thinking this way, he finally saw the army of the Shu army, and Li Ke personally led the people to the east gate of the city.

Lanka was on alert immediately after seeing someone.

"You are already surrounded by us, just capture it!"

Li Ke said to Lanka.

At this time, the west and east of the city are all their people, and Li Ke doesn't have to worry about the opponent's ability to deal with their army. After all, they are now in the upper hand.

When Lanka saw Li Ke and his men outside the city gate, he suddenly felt a little panicked. He didn't expect that the Shu army had not left, but was waiting outside the gate.

"Don't worry, General."

Dole suddenly said in Lanka's ear.

"At this time, we are in the city, Xiping City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They can't attack it. It was their biggest mistake to leave Xiping City before, because they have no chance to break in again."

It was indeed the case that Lanka realized it after hearing what Duo Le said. They have an advantage in the city now. Why are they still afraid of Li Ke?

Li Ke doesn't want it himself, this city took soldiers out, do you still want to come back now?

They came here to recapture Xiping City. Currently, Xiping City has been recaptured, so his mission this time can be considered completed.

The next thing to do is to defend Xiping City, so little Li Ke is nothing to be afraid of.

After figuring this out, Lanka began to become unscrupulous.

"Oh, I originally thought that the King of Shu was a lonely person, but now it seems that he is simply a reckless man."

"If you want to go to war with us, I will not accompany you."

Lanka said, and immediately sent someone to guard the east gate of Xiping City. If Li Ke made any rash moves, he would do it immediately, and there was no need to hold back.

Li Ke had known for a long time that they would do this, and this was also Li Ke's purpose. He came here just to say hello, and he had no intention of actually attacking the city.

Because his subordinates were already very tired and couldn't fight anymore, otherwise they wouldn't have to make such a bad move. He brought the cavalry over this time, but it was just a show.

Since the other party already knew that they were blocking the city, that was enough.

Of course, in order to give the other party a sense of crisis, Li Ke didn't go back directly with the unknown, but set up camp not far from the city gate and repaired on the spot.

After seeing the Shu army resting in place outside the city gate, Lanka gradually began to study his own affairs, because he just discovered a problem.

"Duo Le, it seems that our army escorting food and grass hasn't arrived yet. Wouldn't it be bad for them if the Shu army blocked the only way?"

Lanka may have seen that no one in Xiping City was too excited, and they didn't consider the reason why their army escorting food and grass hadn't arrived.

Then Duo Le's complexion changed slightly, and he had already realized the problem at this time.

"General, I think it's better to send someone to investigate. There may be something wrong with the army escorting the food and grass."

After hearing this, Lanka also felt that something was wrong, so he immediately sent someone out to investigate the situation.

The people who went out to investigate came back about half a day later.

"The general is in trouble! Our army escorting food and grass has been wiped out! The food and grass are gone!"

After hearing the news, Lanka was startled. As a result, they would have no food and grass, and there were still soldiers from the Shu army outside. Doesn't this mean that they were already trapped in the city?
Originally, he didn't have such concerns, and he didn't take the Shu army seriously, thinking that it was their own fault to guard the Sheng Shu army here.

But looking at the current situation, maybe it was the Shu army's strategy to trap them in the city. If that was the case, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long without food and grass.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be no other choice but to surrender.

Duo Le, who was on the side, had already seen Lanka's fear, and immediately spoke.

"General, you don't have to worry about food and grass. Xiping City is a heavy city, and food and grass are always abundant. I don't think it's possible for the Shu army to remove all the food and grass in a day or two. I'm afraid the food and grass are still here. In the city, we can just use the grain and grass here, and when the Shu army outside the city finds out that there is no chance to attack, they will probably leave, and Xiping City will naturally be defended by then."
