Gan Ning led the 5,000 Canglang Camp and the 5th Legion to 10,000 light cavalry in the east gate. The Wancheng defenders who had not yet reacted were defeated as if they were defeated.

When the Iron Cavalry arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, the general Zhang Xiujun, who was responsible for defending Wancheng, didn't know what was going on. When he saw the murderous Iron Cavalry running from the opposite side of the street, he saw the tide of soldiers running in a hurry, he couldn't help but secretly said: 'It's over! It's over!...'

The black cavalry waves surged among the crowds, and Zhang Xiu's soldiers fell down one after another, screaming that made people frightened.

A divine war horse carried a terrifying general to kill the troops and leaped towards the guard general. The guard general was shocked and raised his sword to greet him in panic. The general of the Northern Army waved the water-dividing sword and shouted suddenly, like a thunder explosion, and at the same time rolled up the sword light and slashed out. "Crack", "Puff", then two war horses passed by, and the spear in the guard general's hand and body broke into two pieces at this moment.

Gan Ning suddenly strangled the war horse, raised the water-dividing sword and roared. The defenders who were fleeing in a hurry and who were struggling to resist were stunned. At the same time, the cavalry of the Northern Army stopped the attack, sat on the war horse, and stared coldly at the defenders of Wancheng, which were already like frightened birds.

Gan Ning shouted: "Your general is dead! The disarmed one will not be killed!"

Nearly 10,000 soldiers surrounded by iron cavalry looked at each other in shock. They had already lost all their fighting spirit and put down their weapons without much hesitation.

Gan Ning left a thousand cavalry to guard the prisoners, and then divided the cavalry under his command into several teams and scattered them to the streets and alleys in the city to sweep away the remaining enemies.

About half an hour later, the North Envoy Army Brigade came outside the east gate of Wancheng. The young general wrapped in black dragon teeth and heavy armor under the flag was Chen Chu, the general of the North Envoy Army. The dragon teeth and heavy armor on Chen Chu were carefully created by craftsmen from the Wuyan Institute in recent times. It took half a year to use the 100-fold method used to build a sword. The dragon teeth and armor weighed nearly 100 kilograms, which was much lighter than ordinary heavy armor. The left shoulder armor is a dragon head and fang shape, and the front chest armor is a plate armor structure, painted with a simple and abstract dragon pattern; the helmet is a traditional double-winged ear protection helmet, but it is made very delicate and atmospheric. This piece of armor is worn on Chen Chu, which makes Chen Chu look very majestic.

Chen Chu led the Northern Army brigade into the city. At this moment, Gan Ning had completely controlled the entire city. Except for a few of the 30,000 defenders escaped from the city, most of the remaining were captured. Of course, many people fell under the iron hoofed swords of the Northern Army.

Chen Chu rode his war horse slowly towards the county magistrate's mansion. Only the cavalry of the North Army were shuttled back and forth on the street, without a single pedestrian. The doors and windows on both sides of the street were closed, and Chen Chu could feel the atmosphere of tension and fear that filled the air.

When he arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, Gan Ning was leading hundreds of personal soldiers to wait at the door.

Chen Chu dropped his war horse and handed it over to an iron wall guard next to him. Gan Ning immediately came up and clasped his fists and said, "Lord!"

Chen Chu patted Gan Ning's arm and smiled and said, "Xingba is doing a good job!"

Gan Ning was happy and laughed and said, "Grandpa Gan has taken action, so there is no way to deal with it."

"Xingba, what are you talking nonsense?" Chen Gong, who was beside him, frowned and shouted.

Chen Chu raised his hand to interrupt Chen Gong and smiled and said, "It's okay! Don't worry about these harmless trivial matters!" "Yes!" Chen Gong held his fists and agreed.

Chen Chu raised his foot and walked into the county magistrate's mansion. Gan Ning looked at Chen Gong proudly behind Chen Chu, and then followed. Chen Gong shook his head and followed him.

When they arrived at the lobby, Chen Chu sat down in the main seat, Gan Ning, Chen Gong and several generals stood left and right under the hall.

Chen Chu first praised everyone, and then sang: "Sun Jiang!"

"The last one is here!" Gan Ning's general Sun Jiang immediately stepped out and agreed.

"You go down and post an Anmin notice to maintain order in the city. If anyone disobeys military discipline, no matter who it is, they will be dealt with on the spot according to military law!"

"Yes!" Sun Jiang clasped his fists and exited the lobby.

Chen Chu turned his head and asked Chen Gong beside him: "Is there any news about Fengxian?"

Chen Gong immediately reported: "Not yet! But General Fengxian should have arrived at the ancient city at this moment!"

Chen Chu thought for a moment, "Send the order and leave five thousand people to station in Wancheng, and the rest of the soldiers followed me to advance east immediately!"

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison. Then Chen Gong asked with his fists: "Lord, I don't know that you plan to send you to stay in Wancheng."

Chen Chu thought for a moment, "Let Sun Jiang stay!" Turning his head to look at Gan Ning, he asked with a smile: "Xingba will not have any objection, right?"

Gan Ning immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your family, yes, I will follow the lord's order!"

Chen Chu smiled and said loudly, "It's settled!" Looking at the sky outside the door, "After lunch, the entire army immediately set out to advance eastward!"

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.

After everyone left the lobby, Chen Chu walked to the courtyard in front of the lobby, looked at the sun above his head, took a deep breath, and Chen Chu felt a vague premonition in his heart. He shook his head and threw this inexplicable thought behind his head.

The soldiers immediately set off after lunch, leaving only 5,000 soldiers to guard Wancheng.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Almost as Chen Chu led the brigade into Wancheng, Lu Bu led 25,000 Canglang Camp cavalry to wipe out a grain transport team heading to Runan near the ancient city, and then raided the ancient city. The five thousand defenders in the ancient city were completely wiped out, and Zhang Xiu's logistics transfer base fell into Lu Bu's hands.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu left only two thousand cavalry and led a cavalry brigade toward Runan City to the east.

In the evening, Zhang Xiujun on the west gate tower of Runan West City Gate found a grain transport team coming outside the west gate. The gatekeeper school immediately ordered the city gate to be opened as usual.

The grain transport team drove into the city, and then the city gate was closed, and everything returned to peace.

Midnight that night, nearly a thousand men in black sneaked to the west gate and quickly eliminated the defenders in the west gate, and then opened the Xicheng Gate. Then, tens of thousands of black-armored cavalry swarmed into the city. The unexpected Zhang Xiu army collapsed completely before they understood what was going on! Hundreds of people fled out of panic from the south gate, and then nearly a thousand people escaped from the south gate. The Zhang Xiu army flag at the top of the Runan city was cut off, and the flag of the Northern Army was raised. Runan City fell into the control of the Northern Army. Half an hour after Lu Bu captured Runan, Chen Chu's order was passed to Lu Bu's hand through a flying pigeon. After Lu Bu saw the order, his eyes lit up and he seemed very excited. Then Lu Bu passed the order. Half an hour later, Lu Bu personally led 20,000 Iron Cavalry of Canglang Camp out of the South City Gate.

Just as Runan City was captured by Lu Bu, Zhang Xiuzheng led the main force to fight fiercely with the former Yuan Shao army (hereinafter referred to as Liu Bei's army) led by Cui Yan outside Gepo City. At this moment, the two sides had fought fiercely for nearly half an hour. The corpses were everywhere in the wilderness bushes, and the torches illuminated the night sky, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the battle between the two sides was in full swing. Zhang Xiu's army's advantage became increasingly obvious, and Liu Bei's army gradually showed a decline.

It turned out that after nightfall that night, Cui Yan ordered the army to raid the arrival of Zhang Xiu's army while the night was dark. Zhang Xiu was prepared for this and sent a large number of scouts to lurk near Gepo County. When the scout discovered Liu Bei's army's actions, he immediately reported to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu immediately put down his pocket to ambush Liu Bei's army.

At midnight, Liu Bei's army, who was planning to rob the camp, entered Zhang Xiu's pocket, and the battle began. The unexpected Liu Bei's army suffered heavy losses at the beginning, and retreated to a bush, finally calming down. The two sides launched a tug-of-war here and continued until now.

Seeing that his situation was getting worse and worse, the generals of Liu Bei's army immediately ordered a retreat. Zhang Xiu's army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and less than half of Liu Bei's army finally retreated into the city.

Zhang Xiu personally led a team of cavalry to scold the city for a while, then withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.

"Hahaha!!!" Zhang Xiu looked very excited when he returned to the tent. "General, Cui Yan is afraid that he will not be able to sleep tonight!" Han Tong smiled happily.

Zhang Xiu sat down in the position of commander, took the water tank from his personal soldiers and fed a few mouthfuls, put the water tank down and laughed: "Happy! Today, Liu Bei's army suffered a lot of losses and his morale was frustrated. Tomorrow, he will be able to capture Ge Po in one go!"

The generals burst into laughter together.

With a pause of laughter, Zhang Xiu said to the generals: "All the generals will return to the camp to rest, nourish their spirits, and do their best to attack the city tomorrow!"

"Yes!" The generals agreed and then withdrew from the tent.

Zhang Xiu took off his armor robe, wiped his face, and then lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Just as Zhang Xiu was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly awakened by a burst of rapid horse hooves and screams. He sat up suddenly. The sound of horse hooves and screams in his ears were very clear, and Zhang Xiu's face changed.
