Following Gan Ning¡¯s signal, Zhao Yun¡¯s cavalry quickly rushed into the camp.
This killing was really a blast.
The soldiers in Cao's camp were all awakened from their deep sleep and hurriedly responded to the battle. All people are too scared to fight. Moreover, the incident occurred so suddenly that there was no time to put on armor, and even the weapons were not fully equipped. Gan Ning and Zhao Yun were well prepared. The troops they brought were also their most elite soldiers. Strength and weakness are naturally known.
By daybreak, the battle will be over. All the officers and soldiers of Cao Jun's Mengjin Barracks were surrounded by Gan Ning on all sides. No one slipped through the net and was either killed or captured. As for Zhao Yun and Gan Ning's troops, only a dozen people were killed and only dozens more were slightly injured. The rest are all intact.
After interrogation, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning found out. Why is the Mengjin Barracks so heavily guarded?
But later, even the emperor and his ministers were all captured by Cao Cao. Cao Cao moved his capital to Xudu and returned to Yanzhou, so the importance of the Mengjin military camp was somewhat less important. However, no matter how Sili declined, no matter how close it was to its ally Xiliang Army, Mengjin Ferry was still a chokepoint after all, and Cao Cao would not give up easily. Five thousand soldiers and horses are still arranged here. To serve as a warning. Moreover, various warning measures are based on the requirement of timely response. The intention is to achieve a strong warning effect despite the small number of soldiers. Facilitate rear support and response.
It is a pity that the soldiers and horses left here are only second-rate soldiers and horses under Cao Cao, and there has been no war to disturb this place. result. Although the standards of rules and regulations remain the same. But the vigilance of these soldiers and horses has become somewhat relaxed.
at last. Gan Ning and Zhao Yun were all advantaged.
Zhao Yun and Gan Ning secretly shouted: Lucky. But then the two men looked at the prisoners. Zhao Yun and Gan Ning were both happy and a little worried.
The capture of Mengjin Barracks itself resulted in very few casualties, which was a gratifying event. And in addition to the captured materials, the two thousand prisoners were also a considerable fortune. It's enough to make a small fortune for the brothers who followed him on the adventure.
But the problem is that now Zhao Yun and Gan Ning can sneak attack Sili. This requires quick and unexpected action. But there are these prisoners and supplies dragging them down. That action will definitely not happen quickly. Therefore, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning must not take these supplies and prisoners with them. But because Zhao Yun and Gan Ning came with the purpose of sneak attack. Without the follow-up of the Logistics Department, there was no one dedicated to take over the supplies and prisoners who were full of the battalion, nor could they be transported back to Youzhou to be sold. This is all trouble. You must know that in the past, these matters in combat were the affairs of the Logistics Department. Zhao Yun and Gan Ning are only responsible for fighting, and there will be people to take care of them afterwards. So do they need to worry?
But these money issues are secondary. Zhao Yun and Gan Ning were not money-grubbing landlords, but heroes who regarded money as dirt. At worst, burn all these supplies and kill all the prisoners, and the problem will be solved. At most, after returning home, the two of them took out money from their salaries. Come and reward these meritorious soldiers. With Zhao Yun and Gan Ning's achievements and progress in the past few years, these two people can afford it.
But the key point is that Youzhou¡¯s military regulations do not allow the killing of prisoners, nor do they allow private pay. If you commit any of these two, it is a very serious felony. Even with Zhao Yun¡¯s prominent status. It is impossible to escape the blame, so Zhao Yun and Gan Ning are worried about this.
At this time, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning had no choice but to know for the first time that there were troubles in winning the battle of love. This was something they had never encountered before, nor had they thought of.
But just when Zhao Yun and Gan Ning were worried about how to solve this troublesome matter. Suddenly, a military academy came to report: "Two generals. There is a person outside who claims to be the Central Intelligence Group. He came to see the two generals on orders from the staff."
Zhao Yun and Gan Ning were extremely surprised when they heard this: the response of the staff was very fast. However, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning did not dare to neglect, and quickly asked people to bring the man in.
Not long after, a chubby and friendly businessman-like man came to Zhao Yun and Gan Ning under the leadership of the military academy. He bowed and said to Zhao Yun and Gan Ning: "Zhu Sheng, the fourth manager of the Central Intelligence Group, has met General Zhao and General Gan."
Zhao Yun looked at Zhu Sheng and asked: "You said you are from the Central Intelligence Group, what proof do you have?"
Zhu Sheng smiled and said: "General Zhao. How can we and other members of the Central Intelligence Group leave evidence to prove our identities? We and others can't see the light. However, the General Staff asked our intelligence group to assist the general. He The transfer order can be regarded as a certificate. General Zhao, please take a look."
Zhao Yun took it and saw that there were many official seals and secret notes of the staff department, so there should be no problem. Then Zhao Yun read the contents of the transfer order again, and the general idea was to ask Sili's intelligence team to cooperate with Zhao Yun and Gan Ning to capture Sili. Listen to Zhao Yun and Gan Ning?Command, and at the same time transfer a combat plan to Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.
Zhao Yun put down his transfer order and asked Zhu Sheng, "Where is the general staff's combat plan?"
Zhu Sheng carefully took out a copper tube and handed it to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, please check and accept it."
Zhao Yun also carefully took the copper pipe and saw that the fire paint seal on it was intact and there was no sign of it being opened. Then he opened the seal of the copper tube and took out the letter inside to read.
At this time, Gan Ning asked Zhu Sheng from the side: "How did you know that Cao Ying has changed its owner?"
Zhu Sheng replied: "Return to General, we have received a letter from the Flying Eagle from the Staff Headquarters the day before yesterday. We have known for a long time that the General is coming to Mengjin. Naturally, we have been sending people to respond and inspect. It's just that the General moves quickly and secretly and we sent him to the shore. The people did not greet the general. However, the majestic force of the general's battle this morning was discovered by our brothers who were monitoring the Mengjin Barracks. Naturally, I knew the generals were coming, so I came here to greet the general. But don't worry, general, this Mengjin Barracks No one except our own people knows that it has been breached."
Gan Ning felt relieved.
By this time, Zhao Yun had already read the staff plan. I couldn't help but secretly admire the staff's thoughtful plan for contingency.
I admire Zhao Yun and Gan Ning¡¯s plan of action. As soon as the report was reported to Youzhou, Liu Bin and Guo Jia paid great attention to it, and they highly recognized Zhao Yun and Gan Ning's improvisation. And also judged the success of Zhao Yun and Gan Ning's actions. It should be above eight points. So they immediately decided to follow Zhao Yun and Gan Ning's plan. Expand the scope and results of your actions. After ordering Zhao Yun and Gan Ning to capture Luoyang, Sili and other places, all the materials obtained should be distributed to the local people. At the same time, we must destroy all the 172 settlement sites set up by Cao Cao in Sili, liberate all the residents, and give all the food in the settlements to those residents. All the captured soldiers gathered on the shore of Mengjin before Cao Jun's reinforcements arrived. The navy from Guandu will come here immediately to respond and will transport these prisoners to Hanoi. Bingzhou's army is responsible for receiving and processing. When reinforcements from Cao's army arrived, they gave up all the occupied territories. Taking advantage of the rapidity of the cavalry, Cao Jun led Cao's army in circles in those farmlands. Let Cao Jun destroy all the farmland that was plowed early. Then withdraw from Sili. The Bingzhou Corps will be responsible for responding on the other side.
With the dawn of the morning, the city gate of Luoyang creaked open again. Looking at the city gate, Cao Jun followed the opening of the city gate. Divide into two compartments and take their places. The city gate officer took a deep breath and sat on his chair. And those people who got up early to enter the city had already lined up in a long queue.
The city gate official looked at the long line of people with pleasure and felt happy in his heart. Not bad. Really good business today. The number of people entering the city was two or three times more than before. It seems that I can make a few extra bucks to buy wine today.
But the beautiful city gate official suddenly thought: Qi? What day is today? It's not a holiday, nor is it a day for gatherings. Why do so many people come to the city? And there are so many woodcutters? The amount of firewood used every day in Luoyang City is about the same, and the woodcutter who passes through my city gate every day is also about the same. Why are there so many people here today? Who will they sell the extra firewood to?
"Come here. Call me the woodcutter." The city gate official was confused and gave an order to the soldiers next to him.
But as the city gate official shouted, before the city gate official's pawns could go over to pull people away. The woodcutter suddenly pulled out a steel knife from the firewood, threw the firewood aside, and slashed at Cao Jun who was guarding the door with the knife.
At the same time, a strong man who looked like a hunter stretched his bow and shot an arrow into the sky. A "squeak" sound resounded throughout the sky.
The city gate officials were dumbfounded at this time: This, this, how could this happen?
However, the city gate officer quickly understood and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ring the bell quickly and arrest those rioters."
"It's a pity that the shouts of the city gate officials didn't have much effect. These gatekeepers bullied the common people, women and children, and they were like wolves and tigers. But when faced with these fierce men with steel knives, they slashed hard. But they all became Lord Rabbit. At this time, they were each concerned about their own lives. It's still too late. Who would think carefully enough to obey the command of the city gate officer?
At this time, a mighty big man in a brocade robe suddenly shouted: "I am the great Han Taiwei, driving the navy commander Gan Ning Gan Xingba. I have been ordered to seize Luoyang. If you want to survive, get out of the way."
??Everyone is afraid when they hear it. All turned into scattered birds and beasts. While running. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "It's amazing. Youzhou's soldiers and horses are coming. Brothers, run away."
When they ran away, Gan Ning was stunned: Why are these guys so sparse? Why are they so afraid of themselves?
Gan Ning doesn¡¯t know. In order to vilify Liu Bin and stimulate his troops' determination to fight against Liu Bin, Cao Cao deliberately exaggerated the fact that Liu Bin sold prisoners into slaves.
Although Liu Bin¡¯s propaganda team has always done a good job, people have always said that the slaves in Youzhou lived better than the people in other places. But no matter how good you are, you are still a slave. How the slaves in Youzhou live, they can't see or know. I can only listen to some legends. But what happened to the slaves around them was real.
And now it¡¯s under Cao Cao¡¯s rule. Neither the officers, soldiers nor the people were wealthy. But I can always make ends meet and have hope of living. Since he can survive, who would be willing to take unknown risks and be captured as a slave?
This way. Both the officers and soldiers and the common people were extremely afraid of being captured by Youzhou troops and used as slaves. Of course, he works extremely hard when fighting. But now none of these people know how many troops have come to Youzhou. Of course, people will panic and run for their lives.
But no matter what. Now this city gate is firmly controlled by Gan Ning. Zhao Yunna, who was waiting for the signal in the distance, also rushed over quickly.
At this time, Che Wei, the city guard general of Luoyang, was wolfing down his breakfast. There was a sudden chaos outside. Don't wait for Captain Che to ask. A junior high school officer came in in a panic and reported: "General, something bad has happened. The soldiers and horses from Youzhou are coming."
" Che Wei was furious at that time. Youzhou soldiers and horses are coming? This is impossible. Didn't they confront Yan Liang and Wen Chou in Guandu? How could they possibly come to Luoyang?
"General, please give the order."
The principal¡¯s request for instructions made Che Wei wake up. Anyway. Now that he is here, he must fight quickly. He finally got the recommendation of Lord Cao Hong. The position we have today must not be lost.
Captain Che shouted loudly: "Give me the order quickly and ask the troops to assemble for me."
Orders one after another. The captain kept shouting out, organizing his troops to prepare for battle. The captain himself also hurriedly put on his armor and rushed out.
But how could there be enough time to rush into the challenge?
Zhao Yun and Gan Ning¡¯s troops have all rushed into the city, and they have the support of the Intelligence Department. They are familiar with all the important places in the military camps in the city. Cao Bing from the four barracks in Luoyang just left the camp gate. Before they could gather together, they met Zhao Yun's cavalry team separately.
There was a dense rain of arrows and a stampede of angry horses. He was calculating with his mind but not intending to hit more with fewer hits. Cao's eight thousand soldiers in four camps had not had time to show their strength. They were defeated one by one and fled for their lives in a hurry.
And the city guard captain had just rushed onto the street when he encountered Gan Ning coming towards him. When Gan Ning saw Che Wei's city guard's dress, he went up and cut off Che Wei's head with a knife without waiting for Che Wei to shout, and shouted loudly: "Luoyang City Guard is dead, so I won't catch him until he waits!"
The hundreds of officers and soldiers who followed Captain Che out immediately ran away for their lives.
By noon, the entire Luoyang was in the hands of Zhao Yun and Gan Ning. In addition to following the staff plan, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning left a hundred soldiers behind, with the cooperation of the intelligence team, to calm the people and open warehouses to provide food. Zhao Yun and Gan Ning raised their troops again and slowly chased the deserters towards Hulao Pass.
According to the information provided by the intelligence team, Cao Cao deployed his troops on the entire Sili ground at three points and one line.
The Mengjin Barracks serves as a forward sentry camp. There are five thousand soldiers stationed there, who can provide early warning and request support. As for Luoyang, as a large city in Sili's underworld, there were eight thousand soldiers stationed in the center of Sili's underworld. You can support Meng Jin or hold on to the city. If it doesn't work, you can lead the troops back to Hulao Pass. Joined with the three thousand garrison at Hulao Pass to guard the choke point. This gave Cao Cao enough time to come to the rescue from Yanzhou. As a dangerous pass, Hulao Pass has three thousand defenders, plus the defenders who returned from Luoyang and Mengjin. As long as they hold on, even hundreds of thousands of troops can hold on for ten days and a half.
Such a defensive deployment can be described as rigorous and thorough. It's a pity that one mistake and the whole game is lost. After the Mengjin outpost was quietly pulled out, Luoyang became a blind man. Before he had time to react, he was captured by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning. Now as long as Hulao Pass is captured again, Cao Cao's troops on the entire Sili ground will no longer be able to stop him. The rest of the cities and counties in Sili only have dozens or hundreds of guards to maintain law and order. Naturally, it can be dispersed in a hurry. Easily taken.
That night, a group of defeated soldiers from Luoyang came to the gate of Hulao Pass and called the city.
This is not the first batch. Hulao Pass is only one day's journey from Luoyang. The fast runner has already arrived as soon as it gets dark. The chariot guards guarding Hulao Pass had already received the news. I didn't even sleep, so I was just standing guard here. The defeated soldiers also gathered in groups one after another.Another batch. It's just that before they were small troops of dozens or hundreds. But this group is a large force of two thousand people.
Cha Zhou was somewhat relieved. With these people and his own three thousand soldiers, there were six or seven thousand. With these soldiers guarding Hulao Pass, they should be able to resist for a while. As long as he can persist until Prime Minister Cao's troops arrive, then he will have made a great achievement.
At that moment, the captain ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered. Open the city gate and send people to gather these defeated soldiers into the city.
But just when all the defeated soldiers were about to enter the city, the two big men walking at the end suddenly swung the steel knives in their hands. The ropes of the suspension bridge were cut off. Another shot a rocket into the sky.
Che Zhou realized at that moment that something was wrong and shouted quickly: "Close the city gate!"
But how can this be closed? The two thousand soldiers and horses who had entered the city all roared and started to kill.
It was a mess all of a sudden. The uniforms of the defeated soldiers were the same as those of the defenders of Hulao Pass. The defeated soldiers had their own methods of identification, but the defenders of Hulao Pass did not. During the melee, the soldiers and horses of both sides became entangled. There were many defenders at Hulao Pass who killed each other.
Before the chariot could take command, a big man rushed up to the city and hacked him to death with a halberd. The big man casually cut off the chariot's head and shouted loudly: "The guard of Hulao Gate is dead. Youzhou Ganning Who dares to come here and die!"
All Cao soldiers were afraid when they heard this. At this time, there was a thunderous sound of horse hooves in the distance, which was deafening. All Cao's soldiers in Hulao were already waiting until the situation was over. He ran away as soon as he could. Unable to run away, they all reluctantly put down their weapons and surrendered.
Although these Cao soldiers are still afraid of becoming slaves in Youzhou, they can still live as slaves, right? At least it would be much better than surrendering and being killed.
Zhao Yun and Gan Ning took Hulao at night. At this point, there were no more Cao soldiers in the Sili area to stop him. All the settlements established by Cao Cao in Sili were destroyed by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, and all the settlements were released by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning. All the food that Cao Cao accumulated these days was distributed to the people by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.
And the news that Sili was occupied also spread. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
