Chapter 950

"Let them in."

Beigong Boyu, who had reined in his horse outside Wuwei City, watched Zhang Liao's party gradually approaching Wuwei City.

Beside Beigong Boyu, Xiutu Ye also let out a long sigh of relief.

"Haha, these guys finally fell for it." Xiutu Ye said with a loud laugh.

A smile also appeared on Beigong Boyu's face.

"Now we just have to wait for Duan Yu to come, right?" Xiutu Ye turned his head to look at Beigong Boyu beside him and said: "But what if Duan Yu comes with many troops?"

"Many?"

Beigong Boyu shook his head and smiled: "Do you know why I chose this place?"

Xiutu Ye scratched his head and shook the yellow sand off his head, saying: "Because it's far?"

"Far is only one reason. Because it's far, if Duan Yu wants to save his beloved general, he can only bring fast horses." Beigong Boyu said: "In this way, his advantage in troop numbers will be difficult to deploy."

"Duan Yu knows that Zhang Liao's provisions will definitely not last a few days after pursuing to this point. If he wants to save Zhang Liao, he can only arrive here before Zhang Liao's provisions are exhausted and Wuwei City is broken."

"And we only need to rest and wait here."

Beigong Boyu narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

Last time at Yunwu, he had already suffered a loss once.

And this time, he absolutely would not allow the same mistake to happen again.

"Haha!" Xiutu Ye laughed and said: "You are even more cunning than those Han people."

"You deliberately didn't reveal all your troops, also to make Duan Yu carelessly think that we only have these ten thousand men, right?"

Beigong Boyu nodded slightly.

Xiutu Ye was right about that.

He had plotted for so long and planned so meticulously.

How could he only have ten thousand troops in ambush here?

Duan Yu was like a god-general in that battle at Yunwu, slaughtering so many people with his own strength.

How could ten thousand men be enough to keep Duan Yu?

If things went wrong, he might even be killed by Duan Yu in return.

Beigong Boyu's gaze looked toward the direction of Jixian.

Duan Yu, I am waiting for you here; this time... I guarantee you won't be able to return!

Inside the abandoned Wuwei City.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Liao ordered his soldiers to block the city gate.

If there was a gate, they closed it; if there was no gate, they sent soldiers to guard it, crowding the warhorses into the gate tunnel.

After completing a series of arrangements, Zhang Liao led his soldiers to climb the city wall.

Wuwei City had been abandoned for a long time.

The parts of the city wall that hadn't collapsed were piled high with yellow sand.

Zhang Liao and Xia Yu stood side by side, looking at the Qiang cavalry surrounding the city outside.

The ten thousand Qiang, Xiutu, and Huangzhong Volunteer Cavalry were only demonstrating around the city, but they had not yet begun to attack the city.

Realizing something, Xia Yu looked at Zhang Liao beside him and said: "General Zhang, Beigong Boyu is deliberately luring us here, using himself as bait to lure us into the trap."

"But this price seems a bit high."

"These ten thousand plus troops have been lying in ambush here for so long, just for our mere eight hundred men; I'm afraid it's not worth it."

"Beigong Boyu's target should be the reinforcements coming to rescue us."

"It could be the Marquis of Ji." Xia Yu analyzed: "This place is surrounded by sand seas and hills on all sides, and we only have a few days of provisions left in our army."

"If the Marquis of Ji wants to rescue General Zhang, he must bring light cavalry and fast horses, and cannot delay."

"In this way, Beigong Boyu set the ambush point here so he could rest and wait, and attack the Marquis of Ji's troops when they arrive here exhausted."

Zhang Liao, beside him, did not frown upon hearing this.

The expression on his face did not show any tension either.

Zhang Liao, who had scanned the ten thousand cavalry outside the city, actually revealed a faint smile after watching for a while.

Seeing the smile on Zhang Liao's face, Xia Yu, who had just been serious and realized the severity of the problem, had his expression freeze.

He was surprised in his heart.

Could it be that all of Duan Yu's subordinates are lunatics?

Surrounded and trapped in a desperate situation, yet he can still laugh?

"Old General Xia, to tell you the truth... the reason I didn't tell you before was not because I didn't trust you."

"It was because this junior didn't intend to let you fall into danger."
