Ten days later, Huang Zhong led more than 10,000 troops to Linyuan. After setting up camp, he surrounded the city the next day.
Jin Xuan stood at the top of the city, looking at Huang Zhong below who was surrounding the city, his face turned green with anger.
"Huang Zhong, what do you want from leading the army to surround my city?" Jin Xuan also knew Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong smiled coldly: "Jin Xuan, Wuling County is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, and Jingzhou Mu Nai is Jing Shenggong. How can you tell me about your city?"
Without waiting for Jin Xuan's reply, Huang Zhong raised the long sword in his hand and continued to scold: "How dare you refuse to come when the young master summons me. I advise you to quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise after the city is broken, you will die and your family will be destroyed!"
"I'm so angry that this old man dares to humiliate me. Come here, order some troops, and follow me out of the city to fight!" Jin Xuan angrily slapped the battlements and ordered with red eyes.
"No, my lord, although Huang Hansheng is old, his bravery cannot be underestimated." Gong Zhi, the manager of Wuling, persuaded.
"Yes, my lord, besides, Liu Cong hasn't arrived yet, if there is an ambush outside the city, we will be totally doomed."
"What Gong Zhengzheng said makes sense." Everyone agreed with each other.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"For the current plan, we have to surrender first, meet with the young master, and then make plans." Gong Zhi said surrender.
"Surrender?" Jin Xuan asked in disbelief.
Gong Zhi nodded: "That's right, my lord, the Liu family still wants to resist the Cao family, and they won't do anything to us at the moment. As long as the Liu family and his son show their face, Wuling County will be safe for the time being."
Jin Xuan suppressed his anger and chuckled: "Then I'm going to leave the city now and surrender first?"
Gong Zhi bowed down and said, "My lord is wise."
"Fart, there are fifteen thousand of us, we don't necessarily lose, so you dare to persuade me to surrender?"
"Lord, it's official because we still have bargaining chips, so surrendering will be fine. If we are defeated and surrender, we will really die!"
"You dare to disturb the morale of the army here. Come, pull him down and cut off the sacrificial flag!" Jin Xuan was furious. He really couldn't accept it. Before the fight, someone under his command persuaded him to surrender.
"Lord, what Gong Zhi said is true."
"My lord, Gong Zhi is also thinking about my lord."
"Lord, forgive him."
...
"Forget it, for the sake of everyone's pleading, I will spare your life for the time being. Come and order the troops to leave the city!" At the pleading of everyone, Jin Xuan spared Gong Zhi and walked down to the top of the city to order the troops.
Looking at Jin Xuan going down to the city, Gong Zhi shook his head and sighed: "Oh, it's over, it's all over."
Eight thousand people surrounded the city. Huang Zhong led the remaining 2,000 infantry and 1,500 cavalry back to the camp, waiting for the arrival of Liu Cong and Pang Tong.
Just when Huang Zhong and Xu Feng were discussing military strategies.
"Report, general, the enemy troops in the city have gone out of the city to form formations." The messenger came to report.
"really?"
"It's absolutely true, I don't dare to lie."
"How many people came out?"
"About three thousand."
"What flag?"
"gold!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong stood up directly: "Order your troops immediately and follow me to capture Jin Xuan."
Xu Feng stopped him and said: "Old General, the military advisor's order is to surround the city."
Huang Zhong glanced at him and said: "The general is out there, and your life is in danger. Fighting opportunities are fleeting. Boy, if you really listen to the command from the rear, you won't be able to win the battle. If you want to make meritorious deeds, come with me."
Xu Feng remembered Liu Cong's instructions when he asked him to lead the army to follow Huang Zhong: Follow Huang Zhong, perform good service, and I will promote you.
He gritted his teeth and followed.
"Old General, are our more than a thousand cavalry enough?" Xu Feng asked worriedly while riding on his horse.
Huang Zhong didn't even look back and said: "Soldiers are valuable and they are quick. Besides, the troops are good but not numerous. You still have a lot to learn."
"Speed up, fight." After saying that, Huang Zhong clamped his horse's belly and ordered.
At the foot of Linyuan City, more than 5,000 people commanded by Jin Xuan attacked the 2,000 people surrounding the city wall.
"Kill them all!" Jin Xuanqi pointed at the enemy troops on horseback.
The 10,000 infantry soldiers brought by Huang Zhong were all from Changsha. They had been trained by Huang Zhong for a long time. Although the gap between the enemy and ourselves was twice that, they still fought to the death.
As more Wuling troops rushed out of the city, this army gradually began to retreat.
"Hahaha, Huang Zhong, who do you think you are? You dare to go against me. Charge! Kill me!" As he said that, Jin Xuan rode his horse to the front of the army and took the lead in the charge himself.
At this time, the Wuling army had no formation at all.
"Everyone, hold on, don't mess up the formation, General Huang is here!" The Changsha army, which had fewer than 500 men, was still struggling to hold on despite being surrounded.
"Whoosh!" Along with the roar of arrows piercing the air, Huang Zhong appeared first in sight. Then there was a black line, which turned into dots as it got closer, and turned into a galloping cavalry!
"Huang Zhong is here!" As Huang Zhong rode his horse, he drew the bow in his hand one after another. As the arrows flew, Wuling soldiers fell one by one.
"Charge the enemy!" Xu Feng led the cavalry into Wuling's army.
"Run away, they have cavalry." Suddenly, the morale of the Wuling army was in chaos, and they ran back even more laxly.
"Cavalry? How can they have cavalry?" Jin Xuan murmured blankly.
"Prefect, please retreat to the city quickly." The general beside him pulled Jin Xuan and said.
"Yes, yes, retreat quickly!"
However, it is easy to get out, but it is difficult to get in, not to mention the retreat. A group of people are crowded at the city gate and cannot get in at all.
"Jinxuan, where to go?"
"Ah" Jin Xuan looked back and saw Huang Zhong waving a bloody sword and galloping towards him.
"Death!" Huang Zhong slashed with his sword, and Jin Xuan's head fell in response!
"Hmph." Huang Zhong snorted coldly, picked up Jin Xuan's head with the tip of his knife, and shouted, "Jin Xuan is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."
"Ah, the governor is dead?"
"Is that the governor's head?"
"What should we do?"
For a time, the morale of Wuling's army dropped to the extreme. Sparsely, one after another soldiers put down their weapons, knelt down and surrendered.
Xu Feng, who was also covered in blood red, rode his horse forward and said: "Old general, you are so powerful. Take the enemy general's head from the crowd of thousands of troops."
Huang Zhong laughed at himself: "What is Jingnan's army? A real army veteran cannot get through."
"General, someone in the city sent the seal and population atlas of Wuling County, saying that they surrendered."
Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "I guess they know each other, Xu Feng, you will stay here to gather the surrendered troops and clean up the battlefield. The rest will leave and follow me into the city!"
"promise."
"Enter the city! Enter the city!" the soldiers shouted loudly, waving their weapons.
"Who will surrender?" Huang Zhong asked, sitting on the head seat of the Prefect's Mansion with a golden sword.
"I'm Gong Zhi, I'm working for Wu Ling." Gong Zhi said.
"Okay, you are now the temporary governor of Wuling. What you did before, you will do now."
"promise."
"Now, you have to do one thing first. Surround Jin Xuan's mansion and control his family members. No one can escape."
"promise."
"Okay, all of you, go down and perform your duties. Everything will be fine. Just wait for the arrival of the young master."
"Thank you, General."
At this time, Liu Cong was sitting on the carriage, teasing Mr. Fan.
"General, I have heard that you are already married twice. Will there be room for me next to the general in the future?" Mrs. Fan snuggled into Liu Cong's arms and exhaled softly.
Liu Cong hugged Ms. Fan, felt the temperature of her body, and gently sniffed the aroma of talk coming from Fan's hair and said: "You are my first woman, how come there is no place for you.
"
"The general is so kind to me." Fan said, raising her body and leaving a kiss on Liu Cong's face.
After all, Liu Cong was young and energetic, and he suddenly felt the energy and blood boiling all over his body, "Damn, it's really annoying. Who said women in ancient times were reserved?"
"Lord, there is a military report." Pang Tong reported outside the carriage.
Liu Cong tidied himself up, pushed Fan away, got off the carriage and asked, "What's the matter?"
