The Han army surrounded Lu Hun on all sides, and there was a fire pot hanging on the city wall of Lu Hun, and the fire light and shadow illuminated the surroundings, and the guards of the city wall could be vaguely seen.

Gan Ning couldn't help but say: "This fire is too troublesome, if you can't touch the city, there is no way to sneak attack, it's just that!" The archers calculated the range, leaned under the walls, and shot down the guards, while the others followed me on a ladder to attack the city! "The generals of the Han army promised.

Gan Ning said to Liao Hua beside him: "Lord Liao, keep an eye on the city gate, don't get away with a Cao army to report the news!" Liao Hua took the order.

With a wave of Gan Ning's hand, the Han army crawled forward in turn, quietly approaching the city wall, and the archers knelt down and drew their bows and shot arrows.

Lu Hun Chengzhong County Commander has already ordered the Cao army guarding the city to be on strict alert several times to prevent the enemy from coming. However, most of the Cao soldiers in the city didn't believe it, and the Han army came all the way here on New Year's Day to say that it was not acceptable, and most of the soldiers were standing there and making appearances, and no one was engrossed in staring at the city.

The sound of the bowstring sounded, and the Cao army in the city had no time to react, more than ten people had already fallen to the ground with arrows, and the other Cao soldiers reacted and hurriedly squatted down.

Gan Ning jumped up suddenly, carried the ladder and shouted, "Follow me." "I ran to the bottom of the city and set up a ladder.

There was a commotion in the Cao army in the city, shouting warnings, and swordsmen and bows were in a hurry. When Gan Ning took the ladder and began to climb, Cao Jun's arrows were sparse and could not pose a threat at all.

Fortunately, after receiving the order of martial law in Luoyang, Lu Hun Ling did his duty and arranged for the city patrol captain, Gan Ning to attack the city, and it happened that the city commander was nearby, and led hundreds of people to support.

Gan Ning threw off the iron chain, smashed down the Cao army, and climbed to the top of the city to cover the follow-up Han army to enter the city. Du Wei led his troops and horses to come, and fought with Gan Ning to one place, wanting to stop the Han army and drive it down.

Gan Ning sneered: "There are also support soldiers and horses, and the garrison is quite sufficient, but the troops are all coming to my side, see how you guard against the other three gates!" ”

Gan Ning took the lead in the city, and the other three Han armies immediately attacked the city, and for a time the sound of killing around Luhun City shook the sky.

In an inconspicuous thatched hut in the middle of the city, Sun Wolf was awakened by the noise, wondering what was going on.

Li Fang, who came with Sun Wolf outside the door, squeezed in and said, "Sun Wolf, there are soldiers and horses attacking the city outside the city, the streets are in chaos, and Cao Jun is walking around." ”

When Sun Wolf sneaked into Lu Hun before, he was afraid that Lu Hun would have someone who recognized him, and it would be bad if he was exposed, so he went to Li Fang to settle down in Lu Hun's nephew's house, Li Fang was not from Lu Hun, and no one could see through his identity.

Most of the matters of contact were carried out by Li Fang, who used gold and silver to buy the unemployed vagrants and ruffians in the city, after all, who was willing to do what he was afraid of.

Sun Wolf first gathered the people nearby and said: "The besiegers outside the city must be the princes and soldiers, don't wait, the time has come, Cui Wu will take people to the north to set fires, and Li Fang and I will gather the people who have been bought and set fire to the east."

All shouted to me that the army has entered the city, everyone will kill Cao thief together, welcome Guan Yu, Xinghan Room, when the time comes, the big thing will be done, the reward is indispensable, go quickly! "The men are commanded.

After listening to Sun Wolf's words, Li Fang's nephew pulled Li Fang and cried: "Why did my uncle harm my nephew, colluding with thieves is a capital crime that affects relatives, I knew how it would be from my uncle!" ”

Li Fang hurriedly said: "Don't panic, I didn't tell you the truth that I was indeed wrong, don't worry, this city is about to fall." Wait for big things, the reward is indispensable for you, uncle will not harm you, you go back to protect your family! ”

He turned his head to Sun Wolf and said, "Go!" Sun Wolf turned over and ran in the other direction with Li Fang.

In the city, Cao Jiang struggled to resist the Han army that came up, and the attack was blocked, even Gan Ning was taken aback, and it was almost an hour since such a small county town was attacked, and he had not been able to kill the defenders.

The captain at the head of the command shouted while waving his sharp blade: "Everyone hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

Gan Ning didn't care about this sentence, and deliberately said it to boost morale. He was paying attention to the person who was shouting, and it must have been a leader.

Captain Cao Jun is not a fool, he has already seen that Gan Ning's skills are very good, so he hid in the crowd, Gan Ning looked for opportunities to kill him several times, but he couldn't find a chance to attack for a while.

Lu Hun ordered to urgently summon all the soldiers and horses, and urgently gathered the strong men in the city to defend the city on all sides. Gan Ning heard the loud sound of the warning gong in the city, and knew that Cao Jun was gathering people and couldn't drag it down, and it would be too embarrassing if he was defeated in this small county town.

In a blink of an eye, there were bows and arrows on the corpse of Cao Jun next to him, Gan Ning smashed over Cao Jun who was leaning over, picked up the bow and arrow, opened the bow and arrows, and shot several in a row, and several Cao Jun fell to the ground when he landed.

There was a shout of Captain Cao Jun in his ears, and with his experience, Gan Ning shot three arrows in the direction of the shout, and the sound of being careful, counting shields and counting shields came from the direction, and Gan Ning knew that he didn't shoot.

threw down the bow and arrow, untied the chains on his wrists, picked up the big knife and shouted: "Gan Ning is here!" "If you can't fight quickly, then break through by brute force.

The defenders of the city supported from all sides, and Sun Wolf led the people to take advantage of the chaos to approach the county order hall and drive the people out and set fire to a nearby house.

Cao Jun noticed something strange and came to inquire, Sun Wolf didn't talk nonsense, swung his knife and killed the Cao general who was the leader, and shouted: "Guan Yu Guan Junhou 100,000 soldiers and horses have entered the city, surrender and avoid death!" The other side of the fire flashed out, and the shouts burst out, echoing each other from afar.

Cao Jun on the four city walls heard the shouts in the city, saw the firelight and mistakenly thought that the other city gates had been breached, and had no intention of fighting, and retreated to the city one after another, covering up the roars of Lu Hun Ling, Du Wei and others: Don't mess up, retreat while fighting.

Gan Ning seized the opportunity to fight hard and intercepted most of Cao's army. Lu Hun ordered the remnants of the army to retreat to the mansion for the last resistance.

The Han army that came in received the granary and the arsenal separately, and Sun Wolf led the people to rendezvous.

As soon as Gan Ning saw Sun Wolf, he understood what was going on and smiled: "Sun Wolf, you did a good job, I will go back to you and ask for credit, and Li Fang, you all have a share!" ”

Sun Wolf thanked him and said: "General Xie, general, we set fire to the houses in order to make a noise, and ask the general to quickly send people to extinguish the fire, rescue the people, and it is best to compensate the people for their losses!" ”

Gan Ning patted his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, Han Guan (borrowed the name of Brother Han Guanyue), you go and do it immediately to appease the people!" Han Guan took the order and left.

Gan Ning surrounded the mansion and ordered Lu Hun to surrender, but Lu Hun sternly refused.

Gan Ning was very surprised, and asked Sun Wolf: "Captain Sun, I thought that Lu Hun had been in turmoil, and he could be dealt with one blow, but the solidity of Lu Hun's city and the garrison of soldiers and horses were beyond my expectations?" ”

Sun Wolf said: "Lu Hun is close to Luoyang, in the past, we rebelled because of the hardship of conscription, no matter how stupid Cao thief is, he will not be planted in the same thing, I heard Li Fang's nephew say that Lu Hun Ling is a good official, good to the people, and he will do his duty and repair the city wall."

And when Hou Yin surrendered to Nanyang, the prince sent us back to harass Cao's army in the areas of Luhun and Liangxian to strengthen the momentum. Cao Jun sent troops to suppress it, and basically uprooted the righteous people who were willing to respond to us, and these days they are buying unemployed vagrants and ruffians! ”

Gan Ning muttered: "Good officials are rare! A good official will spare his life, rest for a while, prepare to attack from all sides, hit the wall of the mansion for me first, pay attention to the one wearing the official uniform, don't kill him! ”

To the north of Lu Hun, looking at the fire in the direction of Lu Hun, Guan Ping shook his spirits, strictly ordered the whole army to be on guard, not to slacken, and led the cavalry to stand by.

On the fifth watch, the scout flew to report: More than ten horsemen of the Cao army in forty miles came from the north direction to Lu Hun.

Guan Ping ordered the scouts to hide their figures, quietly probe, avoid meeting with Cao Jun, and not alarm Cao Jun.

Guan Ping moved his troops to the back of a slope in the north to temporarily hide his figure, and sent someone to Lu Hun to report to Gan Ning.

This is the soldiers and horses of Cao's army going south to test the virtual reality, led by 2,000 cavalry, followed by 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Ren Fu and Duan Zhao.

Ren Fu sent a messenger to the direction of Lu Hun, and the distant fire of Lu Hun aroused the vigilance of the messenger, and sent two people to listen to the news, and sent back to the north to report to Ren Fu and Duan Zhao, and the messenger waited for the news from the same place.

The messenger handled it properly, and the Han army scouts couldn't help but spy clearly, Guan Ping intercepted it separately, and all the Cao army, the messenger, and the pathfinder who returned were captured. The messenger of the Cao army was also upright, and when he saw the Han cavalry appear, he immediately destroyed the letters on his body.

After listening to the report from the people sent by Guan Ping, Gan Ning was overjoyed and said: "I am worried that there is nowhere to make contributions, so I ordered to cook immediately, have a full meal, rest for a while, and prepare for battle." ”

Pang De next to him persuaded: "Xingba, the soldiers traveled a long way from Nanyang, and fought all night last night, and now they are afraid that they will not be able to take advantage of the forced battle with Cao Jun!" ”

Gan Ning said disapprerovitously: "The brave wins when we meet on the narrow road, and now our army has just broken through the city, and the morale is strong, and there is still a fighting spirit." You can fight before you run out.

If Cao's army sticks to the city and consumes it, and when we run out of food and retreat, we will not only have no way to establish power in the north, but will also fall into passivity. Now that I can fight with Cao Jun in the field, I can't let go of this opportunity.

After fighting this battle, it is cost-effective to withdraw the army, and it will always end up in vain. Calculate the time, if it is fast, Yun Chang can catch up with this battle. Of course, we must first figure out the strength of Cao's army, first reorganize the troops, wait for the news of Guan Ping, and see the situation! ”

Gan Ning looked at Lord Lu Hun who was kneeling on the ground, and shook it out with a bag of gold and fell in front of him.

Lu Hun's lord Bo Zheng swallowed his saliva. Gan Ning took the knife and said with a smile: "Master Zheng, the gold is all yours, you don't have to take it politely." Take the money and have a life, which one to choose if you give up your money and lose your life? ”

Zheng Yin panicked and said: "The general wants me to seduce our army, no, no..., to lure Cao Jun, the villain doesn't dare, that's a fatal ......!" ”

Gan Ning impatiently grabbed Zheng Yin and said, "You are from Lu Hun, and your family is all here." Cao Jun can want your life, I not only want your life, but also your whole family! Zheng Yin sweated like rain.

Gan Ning let go and said, "Zheng Zhubo, you should do what you should do to receive Cao Jun and you're done." Look at the gold, this is just one of the bags, and I've got a cart for you.

Lu Hun County has to be ordered by someone to do it, I think you can do it. If there is a request now, although it is mentioned, General Ben is not unreasonable.

I chose you because your official position is the most suitable, and if you don't want to do it, there are many people who are willing to do it, and you can get several generations of wealth in an hour, and you have never encountered such a good thing! You have to think about this great wealth. ”

Zheng Zhubo was silent for a long time and said, "I'll go!" ”

Ten miles away, Zheng Yin saw the 2,000 cavalry in the lead, and General Cao asked, "Master Zheng, the messenger must have arrived, has the dry food been prepared?" ”

Zheng Yin broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and said busily: "The villain was ordered to lead the way for the general, and he didn't care about a lot, this dry food county order must have been made." ”

Zheng Yin turned back to the Han army who was pretending to be an entourage and said, "Go and see if the dry food is ready?" The Han army willingly turned around and went back to report the news.

General Cao did not doubt that he had him, and said to Zheng: "Master Zheng will lead the way in front, and I will send someone to report the brothers in the back." Let my cavalry bring dry food, and let's explore the road in the direction of Nanyang first! ”

Zheng Yin wiped his sweat and covered it up: "It's the first time the villain has seen so many majestic cavalry! He nodded stiffly, causing Cao Jiang to laugh.

Zheng Yin said: "Why didn't the general prepare dry food in advance?" ”

Cao Jiang said: "You don't understand, the soldiers are fast, bring dry food to increase the load, this is the county seat along the way, just say hello in advance, but the south of Lu Hun does not pass through too big a county, and Lu Hun will prepare enough dry food for ten days." Zheng Yin agreed repeatedly.
