The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 480 Death of Cao Ang

Street fighting? Hardly.

After having been besieged for a long time, the soldiers had almost exhausted their last breath. When the city gate was breached, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

In addition, Zhang Liao had already issued an order that those who surrendered would be spared. How many soldiers in the city would still fight bravely?
Apart from Cao Ang and Lu Xun's personal soldiers, there were few people who resisted.

"My Lord, Moling has been lost. Let's go to Wujun!"

On the warhorse, Lu Xun said to Cao Ang.

Although there were more infantry and fewer cavalry in Jiangnan, Cao Ang and Lu Xun still had war horses, and even their personal guards were cavalry. When the city was about to be breached, the two men decisively led their personal guards out of the east gate and headed towards Wujun.

As for the relatives in the city, they had given up long ago.

"After Wujun, where can we go?" Cao Ang sighed.

"Let's take it one step at a time! Now that the enemy's attention is on Moling, let's leave quickly." Lu Xun's face showed determination.

His home is in Wujun. No matter what, even if he dies, he will die in Wujun.

"Zhang Liao was able to capture Moling only because of his large numbers. In terms of strategy, he is still a little lacking. If he sets up a group of troops here at this time, we will be trapped and unable to escape." Cao Ang nodded and said disdainfully.

He looked down on Zhang Liao and others. Having so many elite soldiers and generals, it took so much time to attack the city of Moling. It was useless.

Lu Xun nodded, but in fact, he was a little worried in his heart. He did not take Zhang Liao seriously, but Pang Tong was different. A man known as Fengchu must be as wise as himself.

The other party might not be able to guess what I did today. Now I can only hope that everything goes well.

However, there are some things that the more you don't want them to happen, the more likely they are to happen.

The two hundred cavalrymen escorting Cao Ang and Lu Xun had not advanced two miles when they discovered a group of people and horses appearing on the official road ahead, blocking their way.

"Cao Ang, Lu Xun, I have been waiting for a long time again."

Gan Ning said proudly, holding a spear in his hand.

Originally he wanted to attack Moling City, but Pang Tong asked him to ambush here. Now it seems that it was Pang Tong who took care of him. Capturing Moling City was not as great a contribution as capturing Cao Cao's son and Lu Xun.

Cao Ang was stunned by the situation. He originally thought he could escape and go to Wujun to get a chance of survival. However, he did not expect that he was ambushed by the enemy and blocked his way just a few dozen miles out of the city.

"Boyan, it looks like both you and I are going to die here today." Cao Ang said with a wry smile.

"Cao Ang, Lu Xun, if you don't surrender now, when will you surrender? Your Majesty is merciful. As long as you surrender, you will be able to save your lives." Gan Ning was eager to try.

Just looking at his appearance, it is clear that he doesn't want the other party to surrender, but rather wants the other party to resist so that he can capture the other party and gain more credit.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang raised his spear and Lu Xun drew the sword from his waist. Both of them had determination on their faces. They were both heroes of their generation and would not surrender themselves without any effort.

"They refuse to repent, and such people are the most annoying." Gan Ning saw this and knew what the two were thinking. He immediately flew into a rage and urged his horse to kill the two without hesitation. In terms of martial arts, he really did not take the two men seriously.

Behind him, the Cavalry also began to charge the two hundred cavalrymen. The Jinfan bandits let out bursts of wild shouting, but the enemies on the opposite side were too few and the Cavalry did not take them seriously at all.

Cao Ang and Lu Xun were no longer concerned with all these things. They were already fighting with Gan Ning. Gan Ning held a spear in one hand and fought with the other.

Although Cao Ang's martial arts are good, they cannot be compared with Gan Ning's. As for Lu Xun, he is just a Confucian general. He has some skills, but they are not great. In the chaos of the army, it is difficult for him to even protect himself. At most, he is just a bonus.

Gan Ning became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He swung his spear and dragged the two men into the fight. It was a life-and-death battle. For a short period of time, the fight was hard to separate, but the war around them had already ended.

For the Cavalry Army, which had the numerical advantage, Cao Ang's two hundred personal guards were nothing. However, two charges took care of the two hundred people. The group of people surrounded Gan Ning to dissipate the heat, guarding the three men in the middle and watching the fight between the three men.

Cao Ang and Lu Xun were panicking, but they had no other options but to desperately resist Gan Ning's attack. Finally, Gan Ning's spear hit Lu Xun's sword, and the spear pressed down, trying to kill Lu Xun.

Cao Ang thought he had found a suitable opportunity and thrust his spear at Gan Ning's vital point. Gan Ning flew into a rage and pulled out a short knife from the side and shot it at Cao Ang.

Cao Ang never expected that Gan Ning had a secret weapon. He was caught off guard and hit in the chest with a dagger, knocking Cao Ang off his horse. On the other side, Gan Ning exerted force with his right arm, and his spear vibrated. The powerful force knocked the sword in Lu Xun's hand away, and the spear shaft twitched violently, hitting Lu Xun's shoulder.

Lu Xun screamed and fell off his horse. The cavalry who had been waiting for a long time immediately swarmed up and captured Lu Xun, while Gan Ning came to Cao Ang.

At this moment, Cao Ang was stabbed in the chest. Blood was flowing everywhere, his face was pale, and he even had difficulty breathing. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.

"What bad luck."

Gan Ning was very angry when he saw this.

A living Cao Ang is far more valuable than a dead one.

He had followed Qin Shou for a long time and knew the relationship between Qin Shou and Cao Cao. Although the two of them were constantly killing each other and both wished the other dead, they had no ill will towards each other's descendants and relatives.

I didn't expect that I had actually killed Cao Cao's eldest son. I don't know if Qin Shou will cause trouble for me after getting the news.

"Lu Boyan, you are captured."

Gan Ning looked at Lu Xun in front of him. He had lost his former elegant appearance and looked extremely haggard, as if he had aged by ten years. It was clear how difficult it was to garrison in Moling.

"Gan Ning, if it weren't for your strong soldiers and horses, I might not lose. As long as I have two thousand cavalry, you will not be able to capture Moling City." Lu Xun felt very aggrieved.

In terms of marching and fighting abilities, he believed that he was far superior to Gan Ning and the others, but the other side had more people and more power, and he was no match at all.

Gan Ning laughed loudly and said proudly: "Lu Xun, what you said makes some sense, but this is also part of my strength, isn't it?"

Lu Xun's face darkened. What the other party said made sense. With so many subordinates, wasn't that a reflection of the other party's strength?

Unfortunately, Cao Cao did not have enough time to develop. If he was given enough time, it would be hard to say who would win in the end. Now that the army is approaching, if he was not worried that Qin Shou would settle the score later, he would have no choice but to be tied to Cao Cao.
