Wen Zhong rode his horse to the front, and when he saw the battle situation, he decisively ordered the reinforcements to outflank Gongsun Fan and them from the left and right directions.

Originally, because of the large number of Gongsun Fan, they surrounded Ran Min and them, but now it was Wen Zhong who outflanked Gongsun Fan and them.

The soldiers under the command of Gongsun Fan were originally tired soldiers and had been holding on, but when they saw Wen Zhong and them surrounding, they suddenly couldn't hold on.

As a soldier began to flee, a chain reaction was created, and more and more soldiers fled, and soon a rout was formed, which was like a mountain of defeat, and it could not be stopped.

When Ran Min saw Wen Zhong coming, he hurriedly rode on Zhu Long and shouted at the beggar army: "Soldiers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, kill me!"

Wen Zhong had just joined the war, and when he heard Ran Min's words, he instantly glared at Ran Min and roared angrily: "Those who descend will not be killed!"

When Ran Min heard Wen Zhong's shout, his face showed bitterness, knowing that he had shouted wrong, and shouted again: "If you surrender, you won't kill it!"

Both Wen Zhong and Liu He advocated that if it did not affect the state of war, they would not kill if they could, after all, this is also the population, and even the soldiers in the future.

You can't kill at will, and in troubled times, what is the most important? Population and food, of course.

These two are the fundamentals of the troubled times, with them, you can achieve a career, you can become a prince of a place, and you can also become a family when you retreat.

Under Wen Zhong's counter-encirclement, coupled with Ran Min in the middle, the soldiers under Gongsun Fan did not have the ability to return the water at all, either they died in battle, or they surrendered directly to Wen Zhong and them.

After half a day of fighting, Wen Zhong and Ran Min finally cleaned up the battlefield.

"General Qiyu, in this battle, because of the divine power of General Ran Min, they were deterred, so they defeated Gongsun Fan, killed 5,000 enemies, captured 13,000, our army suffered less than 800 casualties, and Gongsun Fan retreated to Yuyang with the remaining 2,000 remnants."

Killed 5,000 enemies, captured more than 10,000, and suffered less than 800 casualties, such a record is also quite satisfactory for Wen Zhong.

However, what makes Wen Zhong a headache is that there are still 5,000 soldiers and horses in Luxian City, plus the materials in the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to take it for a while.

Ran Min came to Wen Zhong's side and asked, "General, there are still 5,000 soldiers and horses in Lu County now, what should we do?"

Wen Zhong's eyes flashed, he looked at the gate of Luxian County, and said, "General Ran, you take the prisoners of this battle to persuade them to surrender and see how they react."

Ran Min also immediately understood that these more than 10,000 captives had a good relationship with the current defenders in the city, and they must not be willing to bear to hurt them.

In addition, now that they are facing an attack by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there will definitely be some people who will choose to surrender, so that Luxian will not be attacked.

At the same time as Wen Zhong and Gongsun Fan were fighting, Lu County also took action.

Qin Hao in Lu County was also very worried about Gongsun Fan's situation, and hurriedly sent out many spies, hoping to get news of Gongsun Fan.

At this time, a scout ran to the city tower and said to Qin Hao: "General, if you find a war hundreds of miles outside the city, it should be General Gongsun Fan and they are fighting with Wen Zhong's army."

After hearing this, Qin Hao's face was full of anger, and he said, "Alas, General Gongsun Fan is probably falling for Wen Zhong's conspiracy, what can I do?"

In fact, not long after Qin Hao flew the pigeon to pass the book, he realized that this was most likely a trap set up by Wen Zhong in order to lure them out.

Qin Hao walked back and forth on the city gate, hoping to think of a way to continue to hold Luxian.

However, after a long time, Qin Hao never thought of any good way.

Qin Hao stood on the city tower, looking at the wide land in the distance of the city gate, his face was ruthless, he gritted his teeth, and made what he thought was the best choice.

Qin Hao gathered all the five thousand soldiers and horses under the city gate, and looked at the soldiers one by one looking at him, with belief and worry in his eyes.

"Brothers, now General Gongsun Fan may not be able to come back, according to the latest news, they were attacked by Wen Zhong's army in the distance."

When the soldier heard Qin Hao's words, he began to discuss.

"What now?"

"With only 5,000 people, it is impossible to defend against the attack of tens of thousands of troops."

“…………”

Qin Hao frowned, looked at them, and roared angrily: "Everyone be quiet, I have already thought of a way, I hope everyone can listen to me."

A lieutenant suddenly stood up and shouted: "You don't want us to continue to hold the city gate, I won't do this kind of death!"

"That's right, now unless General Gongsun Fan comes back with a large army, or Yuyang can come to support, I won't accompany you to defend it."

Although they have been following Gongsun Chan for several years, they have no loyalty to Gongsun Chan, at most they joined the army because they wanted to survive due to the war.

Moreover, the soldiers who are truly loyal to Gongsun Chan may have been transferred to guard Zhuo County a long time ago, and they will not come here at all.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, they naturally surrender as much as they can, defend if they can, and do not take the initiative to betray the monarch, nor are they willing to fight to the death for the monarch.

Qin Hao raised his hand, motioned for them to be quiet, and said loudly: "I know what you mean, so I gathered everyone to tell you that now we will take some city defense equipment, abandon Lu County, and go to Yuyang City!"

When several captains heard Qin Hao's words, they looked at each other, not believing that Qin Hao would do this, but when they saw Qin Hao's appearance, they were also determined to do so.

They were naturally willing to go to Yuyang, which now had nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, which was enough for Wen Zhong and them not to dare to attack the city easily.

Qin Hao was also decisive, and after speaking, he asked him to bring some equipment and put a notice on the city wall.

"As long as the people in the city start now and stand on the city tower for two days, they can get some grain from the county government, and the amount is not limited, first come, first served."

At this time, a lieutenant didn't know Qin Hao's purpose, it stands to reason that they can't take away this food, and they can't leave it to the enemy, so they have always burned it directly, or some benevolent generals will directly distribute it to the people, and it is not cheap to the enemy.

However, Qin Hao did this, they couldn't figure it out, and heard the captain's inquiry.

Qin Hao smiled and said: "Now that we leave, there will be no defenders in the city, as long as these people climb the city tower, Wen Zhong and they will think that we forced the people to defend the city, plus they don't know that we are leaving, they will feel that the soldiers and horses in the city are enough, and they will not attack the city immediately in a short time."

"In that way, the people will only know that there is food, and they will be willing to go up to the city gate to block the attack of Wen Zhong's army, and we can also bring more things, so that they will not find out immediately and then pursue us."

When the lieutenants heard Qin Hao's words, they were also dumbfounded, how could they not think of these.

In this way, due to Qin Hao's reasons, at the same time as Wen Zhong and Gongsun Fan were fighting, the five thousand soldiers and horses of Lu County had already begun to go to Yuyang City.

Until Ran Min came to Lu County with more than 10,000 captive soldiers, he could only see some people, and I am afraid that there were no soldiers.

Ran Min didn't dare to order the siege of the city at will, after all, these people would soon be the people under their command.

It wasn't until Wen Zhong came to Lu County with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses that he found that these defenders knew the people, and there were no 5,000 soldiers at all.

As soon as Wen Zhong's soldiers and horses arrived, coupled with Wen Zhong's instructions, the people of Lu County also opened the city gate one after another to let Wen Zhong's army enter.
