Liu Bang asked worriedly.

 Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, the Qin army in Du County is not the elite of the Qin army, those rangers are all sneak attack experts that Xiao He found, they can deal with them.

 We'll just wait here and there will be results soon. "

 "Ok."

 puff!puff!

 In Duxian City, at the gate of the South City, several soldiers of the Qin Army fell down, all of them were attacked and wiped their necks by those men in black.

 "It's all settled, open the city gate and let Pei Gong's army enter the city."

 A man in black shouted excitedly, they felt their blood boiled this night, and they did a big thing.

 When Liu Bang's army is released into the city, don't think that they are also great heroes, and they will definitely be valued and rewarded by Liu Bang.

 "Open the gate."

 Several men in black quickly rushed over and opened the south gate of Du County.

 "Look, Peigong, the city gate is open." Outside the city, Guan Ying shouted excitedly.

 "Haha, those rangers really succeeded, Guan Ying, Fan Kui, you lead the army immediately, go to the city, don't let a Qin soldier go.

 It's best to catch that old thief Wang Yong alive. We can exchange Wang Yong for Zhou Bo from Qin State at that time. "

 Liu Bang was also overjoyed and immediately issued an order.

 "promise."

 Immediately, [-] Liu Bang's army rushed towards the city of Du County.

 "Who? Not good, there is an enemy sneak attack!"

 At the same time, the patrolling Qin army in Du County also spotted the men in black at the south gate and immediately issued an alarm.

 But it's a pity that at this time, these Qin soldiers could no longer stop Liu Bang's army from rushing into the city.

 "Kill!"

 Excited soldiers of the Liu Army roared and rushed into Duxian City one by one. Those recruits of the Qin Army looked terrified and ran away without daring to stop them.

 Dangdang!

 The loud sound of the gong shook the Qin army in Du County, causing many soldiers of the Qin army to wake up from their sleep.

 "what happened?"

 Wang Yong was also awakened, put on his armor, rushed out with a weapon in his hand, and shouted loudly.

 A hundred generals of the Qin Army rushed to Wang Yong and said eagerly, "General, it was a sneak attack by the rebels, and they have already entered the city.

 General Zhao is leading an army to resist, but he is about to kill him soon. "

 "What? Oops."

 At this time, Wang Yong was also taken aback, and at the same time regretted that he didn't listen to Zhuge Liang's previous instructions.

 Wang Yong knew very well that it would be impossible to drive Liu Bang out again with the [-] Qin army recruits in his hands alone.

 Even if one fails, all of their 1 horses will be eaten by Liu Bang.

 This will not be good news for their next defense.

 After all, Xu Feng stayed in Xianyang with a total of [-] recruits, and any loss would weaken Xianyang's defense.

 "Send the order to retreat immediately."

 Wang Yong shouted loudly.

 "promise."

 Soon, the city of Du County was in flames, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, and the soldiers of the Qin army that were routed to the north could be seen everywhere.

 "Have they all withdrawn?"

 Wang Yong stayed at the gate of the North City of Du County to meet the troops of the Qin army who had withdrawn from the city.

 "General, most of the soldiers have withdrawn, and some of them are still trapped in the city. I'm afraid they won't be able to get out."

 A Qin general replied.

 "Kill!"

 At this time, Liu's soldiers and horses had already rushed to the north city gate.

 Wang Yong decisively issued an order: "I can't wait any longer, light the fire."

 Whoohoo!

 Immediately, soldiers of the Qin army lit a large amount of thatch they had piled up at the gate of the city with torches. The thatch was doused with pine oil and burned quickly when it encountered fire.

 Soon, a raging fire ignited at the gate of the main city of Du County, blocking Liu Bang's army from chasing.

 "Thanks to the prime minister who prepared us a second hand, otherwise we would have suffered a great loss tonight."

 Wang Yong withdrew from Du County with the remnants of the Qin Army. Looking at the raging fire at the gate of the city, Liu Bang's army was stopped by the fire, Wang Yong said happily.

 50 Lay down an empty city

 [New book please recommend for collection! 】

 "Unfortunately, I'm afraid that old thief Wang Yong will escape this time."

 Zhang Liang followed Liu Bang into the city of Du County on horseback, and soon Zhang Liang saw the fire burning beyond the north gate of Du County, and he couldn't help saying in a deep voice.

 "what happened?"

 Liu Bang also saw the fire light on the north side, which basically illuminated the north side, and asked inexplicably.

 "Pei Gong will soon find out."

 Zhang Liang didn't say it clearly.

 "Report!"

 But soon, Guan Ying came back to report to Liu Bang.

 "Report to Peigong, the Qin army set fire to the north gate, which prevented our army from pursuing, and let that old thief Wang Yong run away."

 Guan Ying said with a depressed face.

 "Set fire? Where did Qin Jun go to find materials for setting fire? Could it be that Qin Jun prepared a way out for himself from the beginning?"

 After listening to Guan Ying's report, Liu Bang was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Qin Jun could use amplified fire to block their pursuit in such a panic. Of course, Liu Bang was surprised.

 "Yes, Peigong, it's probably like this. Qin Jun has an expert to guide him, and it's obvious that he has prepared a backhand in advance."

 Guan Ying thinks so too.

 "Zifang, you have an opponent this time, and another powerful person has appeared on Qin Jun's side!"

 Xiao He at the side said to Zhang Liang jokingly at this time.

 "Ah."

 Zhang Liang nodded, with a serious face, and continued: "This expert on Qin Jun's side has already made a move when we came, fortified the wall to clear the field, and let Qin Jun stick to it, which caused us a lot of trouble.

 Moreover, we have already lost to him once last time, but this time, I will not be careless again. "

 "Pei Gong, although the old man Wang Yong led some remnants of the Qin army and escaped.

 But at this time, there are still many soldiers of the Qin Army trapped in the city of Du County. How should we deal with these soldiers of the Qin Army? "

 Guan Ying continued to ask Liu Bang for instructions.

 "Those who resist will be killed without mercy; those who put down their weapons and surrender will not die."

 Liu Bang gave instructions.

 "promise."

 "Kill!"

 In Duxian City, the fierce shouts of killing gradually subsided in the middle of the night.

 Those Qin army recruits who failed to follow Wang Yong out and were trapped in Du County by Liu Jun, needless to say their fate, were all annihilated and captured by Liu Jun.

 Just when the generals of the Liu Army eliminated the thousands of recruits from the Qin Army who were left in the city, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others discovered a more difficult problem in Du County.

 "Pei Gong, I searched all over, but I didn't find a single person, let alone a grain of grain, in the houses in this block."

 Guan Ying rode on the horse, rushed to Liu Bang, and said with a gloomy face.

 "Pei Gong, I haven't found a single commoner in the east."

 "Pei Gong, there is no one in the west."

 "There is no one in the south."

 Soon, other Liu Jun soldiers also reported back.

 Although they invaded the city of Du County, apart from the soldiers of the Qin army, they could not find a single commoner in the city.

 The whole city is empty, it sounds very strange that they have laid down an empty city.

 "There is not a single citizen in the whole city? How is this possible? Go search again and look carefully."

 After Liu Bang heard the news, he was also very angry and roared loudly.

 After all, Liu Bang originally expected to take down Du County this time to solve the problem of food and grass for his army.

 But now, I'm afraid it's all in vain to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

 "Pei Gong, there is no need to send people to search, Du County is probably empty now, and no people and food can be found.

 The expert on Qin Jun's side is really ruthless.

 Not only did we transfer all the people from the surrounding villages before we came, but even the people from a city like Du County were all removed.

 What he prepared was really sufficient. "

 Zhang Liang said coldly, his eyes were gloomy, he felt the heavy pressure, and it was the first time he met a really difficult opponent.

 Before, Zhang Liang assisted Liu Bang, and all the way along the way, basically everything has not escaped Zhang Liang's calculations. This is the first time Zhang Liang has this feeling of being led by the nose.

 "Pei Gong, the Qin army's granary was found in the city, but the grain inside was burned when the Qin army retreated."

 Soon, Liu Bang received another piece of news that he didn't want to hear.

 In this way, even if Liu Bang led the army to take down Du County, he would have nothing but an empty city.

 Not to mention the common people, they didn't even get a grain of food, and they lost a lot of soldiers and generals.

 Liu Bang calculated in his mind that they didn't seem to make any money in this battle, and even lost a lot, which made Liu Bang very annoyed.

 "Ovary, what shall we do now?

 If this continues, before we lead the army into the city of Xianyang, our army may run out of food. "

 Liu Bang was so anxious that he could only turn to Zhang Liang for help.

 "Oh, it's difficult!"

 Zhang Liang sighed.

 Faced with Zhuge Liang's style of play that was so strong and clear, Zhang Liang also felt helpless.

 Before they came, Zhuge Liang must have seen their weakness, and then he formulated the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the country, and relocating the people, which was simply drawing their salary from the bottom of the pot.

 Zhang Liang can't think of any good way now, he can't conjure food out of thin air!

 "Pei Gong, send people to go to the north to investigate, all the way to the Wei River, to see if the people in the villages in this area have also been moved by the Qin army."

 Zhang Liang said.

 "it is good."

 At this time, Liu Bang couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only follow Zhang Liang's suggestion.

 "Zifang, what should we do if we go north, or this is the case?"

 Xiao He couldn't help asking at this time, worried that from Du County to the north, there would still be no people.

 Zhang Liang's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If this is still the case, then we may have to make another plan."
