    It was still dark, and smoke was everywhere outside Hedong City, and torches lit up the sky.  When Ren Jun, the governor of Hedong, received the news, the Bingzhou army was already approaching the city.  Zhao Yun led 10,000 people to attack the north and west gates, and Gao Shun led 10,000 to attack the south and east gates, completely surrounding Anyi City.  There were six thousand defenders in Hedong City. Ren Jun woke up from his sleep and hastily deployed his troops for defense. The archers hid behind the wall stacks with bows and arrows and fired arrows continuously at the charging Bingzhou Army, trying to stop the opponent's charge.  Zhao Yun was wearing brisk armor, carrying a gentian gun, and led three thousand dead soldiers to charge forward. He waved the spear in his hand to fire arrows all the way forward. The spear danced without leakage, and the arrows from all directions were shot down to the ground.  , no threat.  The soldiers did not have Zhao Yun's martial arts skills, but they had shields for defense. They carried the huge wooden shields on their shoulders and moved forward step by step. After crossing the moat, they could put the ladder on the wall and charge.  "Archers, concentrate your arrows and shoot at the big flag!" Ren Jun saw a big flag with the word "Zhao" at the top of the city. It was advancing much faster than other places, so he loudly ordered more bows.  Crossbowmen, blocking Zhao Yun's advance.  Following Ren Jun's order, three hundred archers moved from other places and fired fiercely at the charging soldiers. A wave of crossbow arrows poured down like raindrops, and the wooden shields they shot made a "duh" sound.  Under the fierce rain, the momentum of Bingzhou Army's charge was curbed.  Not far away, under the light of torches, ten Thunderbolt Chariots have been arranged.  The huge meteorite is mounted on the launcher, ready to go.  Ma Jun waved the yellow flag in his hand and ordered loudly: "Launch, smash towards the top of the city with all your strength, cover General Zilong's climb to the city!" Following Ma Jun's order, ten thunderbolt chariots crackled towards the top of the city.  Shooting, the huge stones carried the sound of wind and fell on the city head. Everyone who hit it was turned into powder, and the wall stacks were also collapsed and cracked.  This half year.  Ma Jun led the craftsmen to build more than a hundred catapults.  It was used to attack the city and was very powerful; this time to attack Hedong, sixty Thunderbolt Chariots were used to attack the city wall from all sides of Hedong City.  After a shower of stones.  Six to seven hundred people were killed by the crossbowmen on the top of the city.  Four to five hundred were injured.  The rest were so frightened that they hid behind the protective wall and did not dare to come out. They could only watch the Bingzhou army charge towards the city wall.  I saw the arrow rain on the city gradually thinning out.  Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers around him to blow the horn, three short and one long. This was a signal to the catapults to stop shooting, lest the boulders hit his family.  "The whole army charges!" After the Thunderbolt Chariot stopped shooting, Zhao Yun took the lead with a move of his spear and stepped on the temporary pontoon bridge erected on the moat to the bottom of the city. He commanded the soldiers to put the ladder on the city wall and launched a fierce attack on the city head.  Just when Zhao Yun's troops arrived under the city wall, they suddenly discovered that there was a fire on the east wall, the suspension bridge on the east had been cut off, and the loud sound of the siege truck hitting the city gate was clearly audible  "Hiss Gao Shun's trap is so powerful. I just came under the city wall, and he has already climbed the city. No wonder everyone says that Gao Shun is good at using troops!" Zhao Yun climbed up on the ladder.  From time to time, he looked to the east and murmured to himself, admiring Gao Shun's military skills.  He raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, work harder! General Gao's troops from the east have already boarded the city, we can't fall behind!" Encouraged by Zhao Yun, the soldiers behind him all fought bravely and fought for the lead.  , launched a fierce offensive towards the Hedong City Wall.  Two-thirds of the archers on the city head have been killed by falling rocks. The defense is obviously insufficient, and the threat has been reduced by more than half than before.  Within a short time, more than 200 warriors followed Zhao Yun onto the city wall, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.  Zhao Yun's spears were flying in an unstoppable manner. Every time the spear was thrust out, there would be blood, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In an instant, more than 20 soldiers were stabbed to death.  There was no enemy at all, they were invincible, and there were corpses everywhere. Cao's army was all frightened and retreated one after another.  "Whoever dares to retreat will be immediately beheaded!" Knowing that the city was in danger, Ren Jun raised his sword and chopped down the two deserters. He glared and urged the soldiers to fight to the death at the top of his lungs.  "To shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king." Zhao Yun saw Ren Jun's identity, and with a flick of his spear, he led twenty warriors and rushed towards Ren Jun, "General Cao will be captured soon.  I will save you from death!" Ren Jun sneered continuously: "The governors under Cao Gong can only fight to the death, how can anyone surrender easily?" He turned around and said loudly: "Soldiers, please follow me to fight to the death. The city is still alive, but the city is broken.  "Death!"bsp; Encouraged by Ren Jun, a hundred soldiers plucked up their courage and followed behind to greet Zhao Yun.  After a bloody confrontation, Zhao Yun single-handedly killed more than 20 Cao soldiers. The warriors who followed behind him were all ten warriors. With fewer enemies and more enemies, he easily killed nearly a hundred soldiers behind Ren Jun.  A pile of corpses.  "I'll fight with you!" Ren Jun couldn't help but despair, waving the single sword in his hand and rushed towards Zhao Yun.  Zhao Yun dodged sideways and stabbed Ren Jun's throat with the spear in his hand.  Ren Jun waved his sword to block, only to realize that Zhao Yun was a false stab. It was too late to change his move to block, so Zhao Yun shot Ren Jun in the back with the barrel of the gun.  Ren Jun was so beaten that he vomited blood and staggered to the point where he could no longer stand. One of his knees gave out and he fell to the ground.  Zhao Yun held up a gun, collected the bloody spear, and ordered to the soldiers: "Come on, tie up this general Cao, and escort him back to Hanoi to be punished by the governor!" "No!" He was as fierce as a wolf and a tiger.  The soldiers rushed forward, tied up Ren Jun with five flowers, and forced him down on the city wall.  Ren Jun was captured, and more than half of the defenders were killed. The remaining Cao troops rushed left and right, unable to get out of the city, so they could only surrender and kneel down to beg for mercy.  At dawn, the flag on the Anyi city of Hedong government turned into a big flag with the word "Yuan".  Hedong, an ancient city with fertile water and soil, changed its owner overnight.  Zhao Yun and Gao Shun finished collecting the prisoners and released the list to appease the people; then they sent fast horses to escort Ren Jun and went to Hanoi to request instructions.  On the one hand, he divided his troops to conquer the counties in the east of the river. Everywhere he went, he was invincible. The county magistrates in various places either opened their doors and surrendered, or abandoned the city and fled south. In just one day, the east of the river was all in Yuan Mai's hands.  Yuan Mai was overjoyed when he learned that Hedong had been captured.  After discussing with Xu Shu and Jushou, he issued a transfer order and ordered Jia Kui, who was serving as the county magistrate in Pingyang, to go to Hedong to serve as the prefect and pacify the people.  First, after taking Hedong, Pingyang has become the rear area and is no longer bordering Cao Jun. The defensive pressure has disappeared, leaving only Juhu alone to ensure safety.  Secondly, Jia Kui has been an official in Hedong for many years and is already very famous in the hearts of the people. In addition, he grew up in Hedong and has a clear understanding of the geographical situation of Hedong. It is really the most suitable for him to take charge of Hedong County.  But the candidate.  "Ren Jun, what can you say if you are captured this time? If you are willing to surrender, you will definitely be entrusted with an important role!" Yuan Mai sat on the steps of the conference hall, staring at Ren Jun who was tied up below, and asked in a deep voice.  Ren Jun raised his head proudly, with an expression as if he was looking forward to death: "The defeated general has nothing to say, he can only ask for death! The only generals under Cao Gong are beheaded generals, and there are absolutely no people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Please  Kill me quickly!" Seeing that Ren Jun had no intention of fearing death, Jushu knew that this kind of person was hard-core and it was almost impossible to recruit him. He stroked his beard and said, "Since Ren Jun wants to die, he will reject it.  Go down and kill him, in his name!" Yuan Mai rolled his eyes, thinking about what to do with Ren Jun?  Whether in history books or in romance, Ren Jun is an unknown person, and he does not have many achievements. Such a number one figure cannot even be found in various games of later generations; but Yuan Mai remembers seeing it when he was studying.  With such a name, it is said that he is one of the important promoters of the farming system and once served as a farmer and a general.  Since Cao Cao trusts him so much, it means that Ren Jun has a certain weight in the Cao Group.  Speaking of which, this is the most important military general under Cao Cao that he has captured so far. How can he be killed so easily? He will be temporarily imprisoned and left for later, maybe it will be of great use.  "It's useless to kill him. Let's keep him alive for the time being and make a decision later!" Yuan Mai waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to put Ren Jun in prison and keep him under good supervision until he could be dealt with later.  Two days later, Jia Kui was transferred to Hedong as the prefect. He went out to appease the people, repaired the city walls that were damaged due to the war, and cracked down on the gangsters who took advantage of the chaos. Within a few days, order in Hedong was stabilized.  As time went by, Yuan Mai's control over Hedong became increasingly stable.  Hearing that Hedong was lost, Xiahou Yuan, who was guarding Chang'an, led his troops to help, vowing to regain Hedong, invade Hanoi, and capture Yuan Mai alive. However, he was intercepted by Xu Sheng's navy on the bank of the Yellow River.  Nearly a thousand small boats of Cao's army were attacked by Xu Sheng's half-crossed boats. The medium-sized sterns collided with the boats and gained an absolute advantage. After a water battle, most of Cao's boats sank. Countless soldiers on board drowned and the rest fled.  Return to the south bank of the Yellow River.  Looking at Anyi, which was only a few dozen miles away, but could not cross the Yellow River, Xiahou Yuan could only curse in the sky and lead his troops eastward into Luoyang, preparing to assist Yu Jin in resisting the invasion of Bingzhou Army.    Zhang Liao and Wang Shuang entered Henan originally just for a feint attack, to attract Cao Jun's attention to Luoyang and to cover up a sneak attack on Hedong.  , since Xiahou Yuan brought troops to help the ban, he followed Yuan Mai's order, broke camp and headed east, entered the Xingyang area, and stationed himself at Wuchao, which was only fifty miles away from Yuan Shao's camp.  ??Wuchao, where half a million stones of grain and grass are stored, supplies the daily diet of hundreds of thousands of Yuan's troops. The victory or defeat of Guandu depends on this small land.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
