"Blow the trumpet, commander A, B and C of the First Battalion came forward!" The commander ordered loudly: "Pause it down, let the cavalry get on the horse, and rush in and occupy the bridge when the gap is opened!"

With a loud echo, the Wu army's infantry began to move forward slowly. On the distant high ground, Li Congke turned around and ordered the deputy general behind him: "Everyone gets on the horse, let's take advantage of this time to rush over. After this time, it will be a dead end!"

At this time, Li Congke was all under his command of war-torn old soldiers and knew very well about his current situation. As long as the Wu army took down the Nancheng and blocked the floating bridge, the only way he could cross the river was to go to other ferries to find ferries. However, after years of war, the ferries on the Yellow River had been almost controlled by the defenders. Even if one or two boats could be found, how could he cross all the thousands of people in a hurry?

In front of the Wu army, with a cannon sound, the solid bullets flying at high speed tore a big hole in the gate of Nancheng. Next was the second and third rounds. The oak gate wrapped in iron turned into a pile of scattered broken wooden boards, revealing the soil bags and wooden barrels that were temporarily piled up behind them. In the gap between the wooden barrels and earth bags, the flash of torches and weapons was revealed. It was obvious that the guards in the city were hiding behind the door, preparing to have the final desperate battle.

"Fire!" With a sharp whistle, a layer of white smoke ejected from the Wu army, and countless lead bullets hit the soil bags, making a dull sound. There was a scream behind the city gate. Obviously, many lead bullets penetrated the gap and hit the guards behind.

"Grenadiers come forward!"

Several tall Wu soldiers rushed forward. They put the two wooden barrels into the gaps in the soil bags, then quickly lit the fuse, and retreated. After a while, a ball of fire rose from the city gate and was immediately flooded by thick white smoke. When the white smoke dissipated and the city gate opened, the soil bags and wooden barrels had disappeared before, leaving only a few fragments on the ground.

"Long live!" The Wu army let out a deafening cheer, and the cavalry rushed in, and the commander who had already become a column was following them. At this moment, a violent sound of horse hooves came from behind the Wu army's formation, which was the cavalry led by Li Congke.

"How could this happen? Where did the enemy army come from?" The commander of the Wu army cursed angrily. If it were normal, these cavalry would have been discovered in the distance, but the continuous fierce battle just now attracted the attention of the Wu army and also covered the sound of the cavalry's horse hooves. As a result, when the Jin cavalry rushed to a distance of only more than a hundred steps, the Wu army's whistle cavalry issued a sharp signal.

"Don't worry about the Wu army, everyone just rushes over and crosses the river first!" Li Congke shouted loudly. He used the spur on his heel to stab the back of the war horses hard. The mount had been squeezed out the last bit of energy and rushed towards the city gate at an astonishing speed. The commander of the Wu army was stunned by the sudden enemy. Only a few convex gunmen reacted and opened fire on the Jin cavalry. The rest of the Wu army instinctively retreated to the hollow square formation to prevent the enemy cavalry from rushing. The Jin army took the opportunity to rush towards the south gate, and as for the few riders who were shot, they were immediately submerged in the war horses.

"Damn it, idiot, fire, shoot! Go to those cavalry and shoot!" The commander of the Wu army finally realized that the enemy was just fleeing, not attacking himself. While kicking his personal soldiers, he shouted loudly. The gunmen of the Wu army hurriedly installed the cannons with shotguns for shooting people and fired at the Jin army's crowds. With the sound of cannons, the Jin army's cavalry was like fallen leaves with frost, and the cavalry were falling in groups, and the screams of the knights.

The neighing sounds of war horses were connected. Even if a few Jin cavalry wanted to attack the Wu army's artillery positions and cover their large groups to withdraw, they fell in groups in front of the Wu army's grenade gun and the spear team. Under the scolding of the officers, the Wu army's gunners mechanically carried out the orders. When the Jin army's cavalry formation gradually dissipated, the Wu army officer issued an order to stop the artillery attack. The corpses of people and war horses were everywhere in front of the southern city gate, especially in front of the city gate, a small hill had been piled up.

"Be careful, don't go forward and prepare to face the enemy!" The commander of the Wu army, who was still scared, issued three orders in a row. The actions of the enemy were very strange, as if they were sent to the gun to seek death. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for him to win. Maybe there would be a brigade behind him. After a while, only the moans of the wounded and the dying whine of the war horses came from his ears. The imagined enemy team did not appear. The commander of the Wu army finally confirmed his current situation and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

While the commander was puzzled, the deputy general on the side came over with a smile and whispered: "The commander of this battle will not only conquer the Nancheng, but also defeat nearly 10,000 enemy troops, and have won a lot of them. I am afraid that the first merit among the generals will be the best. I will definitely be promoted. I will congratulate you first!"

"Nearly ten thousand iron cavalry?" The commander was stunned when he heard this. He blinked his eyes and saw that the ground was covered with corpses of people and horses. After a rough calculation, it would be only a hundred cavalry at most. Almost six hundred cavalry had just escaped. In addition, when the situation was wrong, the Jin cavalry who escaped by himself could only die of 2,455 cavalry. Why did there be ten thousand cavalry? This was too outrageous. The commander frowned and replied, "Defendant General Zhou, don't talk nonsense. If there were ten thousand cavalry enemy troops, how could we two survive until now?"

The deputy general smiled and said, "Commander, there are at least eight hundred armored men here, right?"

The commander nodded and said, "No, so what? This is too far from ten thousand people!"

"Commander, our army is mostly infantry. When fighting with the Jin army, even if we win at one time, it would be good to behead one tenth of them. There is no way. They have four legs and two legs, so we can't catch up with them! Now there are eight hundred armored heads outside the city, and in addition, the city can get a thousand heads, and take them out and say they meet ten thousand people. Who would not believe it, and who dare to say they don't believe it?"

After hearing the deputy general's words, the Wu army commander became more and more active. He looked around and guessed his thoughts and smiled: "The commander is afraid that someone would talk too much. Everyone comes out to fight for grace and rewards. The greater the battle, the more grace and rewards they win. Who dares to talk too much? If you are afraid that it is too horrible, we will all kill the hundred cavalry who entered the city first to kill the battle and then give a 20% discount! Eight thousand enemy troops are also a great achievement of super-level!"

Hearing this, the commander of the Wu army was relieved and was about to nod. Suddenly, a personal soldier ran over and shouted: "Commander, there are more than a dozen Jin thieves and cavalrymen coming, holding white flags, what should we do?"

The commander of the Wu army was stunned and hurriedly rushed over. He saw more than a dozen cavalrymen slowly leaning over from a distance. The man in charge was carrying a white outer robe with his spear and was shaking towards this side. From further afield, you could vaguely see four or five hundred cavalry gathering together, looking at this side.

"See someone loudly and ask what they are going to do?" The commander of the Wu army ordered the personal soldiers beside him. Soon, a soldier of Wu army shouted loudly to the dozen knights. After a moment, someone came to report that the Jin army knights were desperate and wanted to surrender, but there were two conditions: one was that they were unwilling to put down their weapons, and the other was that they were unwilling to be disbanded and mixed.

The commander of the Wu army was overjoyed when he heard this. He never expected such a big pie to fall from the sky. No matter how much he boasted, no one dared to question his military achievements. Killing thousands of cavalry, capturing five hundred cavalry, and saying that there were eight thousand enemy troops was not an exaggeration? Thinking of this, he replied proudly: "Tell them that the weapons can be confiscated, but they will definitely be broken up and mixed, otherwise it is nothing but surrender!"

The soldier responded and hurried back to answer. After hearing this, the Jin cavalry discussed for a moment and agreed to the request. They were already in panic and had no other choice at this time.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, the commander was overjoyed and turned to the deputy general and said, "You can find a more familiar gentleman later, and then find a few clever and appropriate points from the captives, and draw a better document for me to report to the victory. After entering Nancheng, he will report to General Manager Zhu!" After saying that, he laughed and headed straight to Nancheng.

The deputy general responded, and the commander did this to make him mention a few more words in the document. The Wu army was rewarded with great military merits. They were now at the level of the battalion commander. They could command several new battalions and stand on their own. They could at least be the governor of the state, and they could barely be considered as the middle-level officials of the Wu State.

"Come here, you lead twenty people to count the heads, and you take command C to count the prisoners and vests! Report the numbers later!" After the general left, he immediately changed his appearance. After the disposal was completed, he went into the city.

When the deputy general entered the city, he learned another good news. The more than a hundred cavalry who entered the city were safe and sound. It turned out that after Li Congke entered the city, he immediately rushed to the bridge and ran away. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the Wu cavalry team hurriedly gave him aside, but he had not lost one man or one horse. After the deputy general learned, he naturally asked the secretary to report the war to polish the documents. The general commander and himself commanded him and defeated the 8,000 troops of the Jin thieves and captured nothing. The situation of only dozens of casualties on his side was revealed. A long list of recommended meritorious personnel was listed later, and the quick envoy was sent to the Luoyang camp.

In Luoyang, the Wu army camp, Zhu Jin sat in the first seat, the generals on both sides of the hatchback were wearing armor and helmets, standing still, and the tent was filled with the fierce murderous aura of the general.
