Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 209 Collect Gan Ning

"It seems that Gan Xingba in Berkshire is nothing more than that!" Xu Chu sneered loudly.

Gan Ning was furious, he jumped off his horse with his double halberds, and shouted loudly, "I will win first, then I will talk!"

Swing the double halberds and kill Xu Chu!
Xu Chu raised his sword to meet him, and with a bang, the two of them were startled, and took a step back from each other, their eyes showing solemn expressions.

"Good strength!" Gan Ning said.

"You're not bad either!" Xu Chu said.

"Eat my halberd again!" Gan Ning rushed forward angrily.

"It's just in time!" Xu Chu raised his saber again, swung away Gan Ning's double halberds, took over the saber and turned around to attack Gan Ning.

The two generals fought quite a bit in front of the formation, watching the soldiers on both sides tremble with fear, and they all broke into a cold sweat.

After fighting for dozens of rounds, when the fight was indistinguishable, suddenly the valley trembled, the sound of horseshoes sounded like endless thunder, and hundreds of cavalry rushed towards them like a mountain torrent.

"It's the lord!! The lord is here!!"

Tiger Guard immediately cheered.

Hundreds of Berkshire soldiers under Gan Ning were horrified when they saw this, and shouted urgently: "It's cavalry!! Hurry up, shrink the defensive circle quickly!!"

Feng Yao saw the two battles facing each other from afar, and the two generals in front of the battle fought fiercely, before the horses arrived, he raised his voice and shouted: "Stop!"

But Xu Chu and Gan Ning were in the midst of a fierce fight, not to mention whether they could hear them, even if they heard them, they dared not be careless and stopped attacking!
Feng Yao hurriedly ordered five hundred cavalry archers to rush forward, divided into left and right teams, controlled the enemy infantry from a distance, and then personally led more than a hundred cavalry to the front of the formation.

When the two thousand tiger guards saw the lord coming, they had already divided into two teams, and a passage was opened in the middle.

At this time, Gan Ning fought with Xu Chu for more than ten rounds, and gradually lost his strength, Xu Chu gave him a strong shock, retreated a few steps, and took a few breaths, only then did he observe that he was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry.

"You're cheating!" Gan Ning was frightened and furious, he raised his halberd and wanted to fight Xu Chu desperately.

"Hold on!" Feng Yao hurriedly shouted at this time.

Xu Chu held down the saber, stared at Gan Ning, and said, "You have already lost!!"

Feng Yao rode forward and came to Gan Ning. With a smile on his face, he said loudly, "You are Gan Xingba who is famous in Yizhou?" Although Feng Yao was basically sure that this would be Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, asked a question.

Gan Ning looked Feng Yao up and down, was shocked by Feng Yao's momentum and demeanor, sighed, and said, "Since I am Gan Ning, you must be Feng Inspector, the lord of Yuzhou, right? I have nothing to say when I lost to Feng Inspector today. If you want to kill or cut, it is up to you, but please let me, all my subordinates, and our wives and children be spared!"

"A real hero! Xingba!" Feng Yao praised, and called Gan Ning directly.

Gan Ning was taken aback, not knowing Feng Yao's plan, but still clasped his fists and said, "Praise, don't dare!"

Feng Yao nodded, and said with a pleasant face: "Xingba, why don't you think of serving me as a wife and children, serving me, and creating a great cause together!"

Gan Ning's complexion changed, he looked at Feng Yao, and fell silent.

Feng Yao knew that Gan Ning was moved, so he persuaded him: "Xingba, I know that you are a man of great kindness and righteousness! If you can abandon the dark and turn to the bright, I will regard you as a brother and use you as a general to fight in all directions for me. !"

"Brother Xingba, my lord has always set his mind on the world, and has always appointed people on their merits without regard to trivial matters. You must have heard of this, right?" Xu Chu also persuaded.

Gan Ning turned his head and looked behind, hundreds of Bajun sons looked nervous and looking forward, and the wives and children in the circle trembled.

Since the failure of Berkshire's uprising, Gan Ning sent his wife, children and hundreds of brothers to Liu Biao by boat. Moving around together.

For Liu Biao, Gan Ning has long been disappointed! !
"Feng Inspector, can you give me a day to discuss with the brothers?" Gan Ning clasped his fists.

Although Feng Yao was a little surprised, but as long as Gan Ning agreed, the next thing would be easy, so he laughed loudly: "Well, Xingba, there is no village in front of this valley, no shop in the back, it's freezing cold, How about please come to my camp first, let me treat you well, you can also think about it, if you still want to leave tomorrow, I will never make things difficult for you!"

Gan Ning was taken aback, Feng Yao's offer was quite attractive, and he asked in disbelief, "Is Feng Shishi serious about what he said?"

"My lord is the lord of a state. He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and countless slaves of money and wealth. How can he lie to you!" Xu Chu said angrily.

"Xingba, I respect you as a man, if I can't convince you, what's the use of forcing you to stay?" Feng Yao said.

Only then did Gan Ning believe it, and bowed to Feng Yao, "Thank you, Inspector Feng, for your kindness! Please allow me to accompany you with the whole army!"

Feng Yao nodded, he did not embarrass Gan Ning's army, nor confiscated their weapons and armor, and led the army to return Gan Ning to the camp.

Seeing that Feng Yao had brought Gan Ning back, Xu Shu and Gong were all overjoyed, they came to meet Gan Ning one by one and treated each other with courtesy.

Feng Yao personally set up a banquet, and ate with Gan Ning and his subordinates, what they drank and what they ate was the same.

After the meal, Gan Ning and his subordinates were all moved, Fang Xin and Feng Yao really did not lie, and led the crowd to surrender to Feng Yao.

Feng Yao immediately appointed Gan Ning as Sima of another department, and discussed with Gan Ning how to destroy Langling.

Gan Ning said: "Langling thinks that Liu Biao is backing up, so don't panic. If I lead the army to surrender, the defenders in the city will be shocked. My lord will order the army to attack the city every day, shaking the city. Within ten days, the city will There must be internal strife!"

"Okay, this plan is very suitable for me, but it's too late today, you should settle down your family first, and it's not too late to send troops tomorrow!" Feng Yao said.

Gan Ning thanked him and left.

At night, Feng Yao ordered the longbowmen with a longer range to shoot into the silk book again, defeating Liu Biao's reinforcements, and shooting the news that Gan Ning's surrender was reused into the city. If you don't accept surrender at that time, you will also follow the precedent of Yang'an City, and massacre Langling City on the day the city is broken!

The next day, the first day of the promise, Feng Yao added [-] troops to Gan Ning, and ordered him to shout at the city to recruit the soldiers in the city. As expected, the city was shaken. In less than an hour, a thousand defenders secretly attacked the city gate. Come down with your family.

Li Tong was furious, and urgently dispatched his own soldiers to strictly supervise the four sects, and the defection in the city was temporarily stopped.

Soon, the army reported that when the tunnel was dug close to the city wall, Li Tong saw through it, and dozens of servants in the tunnel died tragically.

It turned out that Li Tong placed copper basins every few tens of feet along the city wall, covering the ground, so that the soldiers listened to them day and night. He had already noticed that tunnels were being dug outside the city. After arriving outside the city, find out the direction, lie down in the tunnel in secret, suddenly dig the tunnel halfway through, burn poisonous weeds in it, block it with wooden boards, and smoke all the handymen who want to enter the city through the tunnel to death in the tunnel, and then And blocked the tunnel with soil.

Feng Yao was furious, and ordered Xiong Wei to send out a huge chariot, which rushed under the city gate against the rockets that were constantly shooting down from the city. Throw in kerosene, firewood, and burn.

Xiong Wei retreated quickly, fortunately his armor was good, his shield was strong, Xiong Wei's army was stable, they formed a shield wall and retreated, only a few people were slightly injured.

The gate of the city has been blocked by stones, and it is very difficult to get close to clean it up, and even if it is cleared, stones will still be thrown from the top of the city.

Just looking at the mountains of boulders on the city wall, Feng Yao knew that attacking the city gate was not feasible, so he could only think of other ways.
