Gao Lan was eager to make contributions. Early the next morning, just as dawn, he personally led an army of 10,000 to march north.

"General, Juyang and Dongxian counties are only twenty or thirty miles away from Fanqiu City. If they gather together, then eight or nine thousand defenders will be damaged if we want to capture them."

The deputy general was a little worried.

Gao Lan smiled and said, "I was prepared for this matter. If the three troops I sent to steal the three cities, if they were unable to steal the city, they would lie on the official road outside the city. If the defenders of the three cities came out, they would rush to help from each other, and they would lie in the ambush. They rely on the strength of the city to be so difficult to deal with. Once they fall into my trap, aren't they still lambs to be slaughtered?"

"The general is really smart. These three armies are sent out. Whether they want to help Lucheng or trap the county, they are confused about the three cities joining together to defend, our army has solutions. It seems that we will take down the three cities this time without any effort. At that time, the lord will definitely reward the general with great rewards."

Gao Lan was very proud of the words of the deputy general.

"Look at General, look ahead of you, the city of Fanqiu is ahead."

Gao Lan looked in the direction of the deputy general's finger, and indeed, a city could be vaguely seen in the distance.

He felt excited and beat the horse.

"The destination is right in front of you. Everyone hurry up and capture this city, and everyone will be rewarded!"

The 10,000 troops immediately began to trot and soon came to the city of Fanqie.

"The city..."

Gao Lan was about to shout, but the guard above spoke first.

"Is the person who came here General Gao Lan of Jizhou?"

"Yes, it seems that you have some knowledge of this general."

Gao Lan was a little proud.

"Since you know the reputation of this general and don't quickly open the city gate to surrender, Gao can ask for you in front of your lord. Otherwise, after I attack the city, you will be slaughtered. Wouldn't that be a pity?"

The guard above shouted loudly: "The general is famous, and the villain is well-known. I have heard of the name of the four pillars of Hebei for a long time. Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the brave men, but Zhang He even surrendered. As for Lu Bu, he is known as the world's most powerful general, but he was defeated by Guan Yunchang and General, and then rebelled against Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. He heard that he now worshipped the deceased Mr. Yuan Cheng as his adopted father and recognized General Yuan Shao as his righteous brother. He can be said to be a slave to the three surnames. In the Jizhou army, in the following view, only General Gao, who is both wise and brave, can be the pillar general of Jizhou."

These words are so fascinated by Gao Lan that he is so satisfied.

"Okay, just because you have such knowledge. When you follow me back to Jizhou in the future, I will definitely recommend you to be a general in the country. The reward is second only to me. Open the city gate quickly and welcome Gao into the city."

Unexpectedly, the guard on the city tower replied: "Open the city gate? Why do you need to open the city gate? You and I are enemies, and you should meet each other. How can you open the city to meet the enemy?"

"You..." Gao Lan was completely stunned by him.

"You...didn't you just say that you admire me very much?"

"I'm afraid the general heard it wrong? I only said that the general is brave and resourceful, but I never said that I admire you, let alone that I would open the city to surrender."

Gao Lan was furious: "Then are you playing tricks on me? Do you know that this is seeking death."

The guard also looked innocent.

"What I mean is that if General Gao is so strategic, if he lets you go back, it will be a problem for me in Bingzhou in the future. No matter what, he will leave his life here."

Gao Lan almost laughed at his words.

"Hahaha, you are a small town, some people dare to speak so arrogantly. When I kill your head and hang it outside the city, I can teach all the generals under Liu He that they will know what the outcome will be if General Yu is against my lord! Attack the city immediately!"

Ten thousand troops were murderous intent, and ladders leaned against the city walls densely, and soldiers were shielded on their heads and tried hard to climb up.

The defenders in the city soon became in a hurry. Not long after, the first group of soldiers began to climb up the city wall and fight with the defenders.

Gao Lan was very proud: "Hmph, this guard's tone is quite good, but this ability is far worse than that of Wu in Lucheng... Wu Qin. After capturing the city, this general will cut off his head in person to relieve my hatred."

"By the way, General, our army has arrived at Fanqi City, and ten thousand people gathered at this gate to attack with all their might. I see that the other three gates will have to be empty. Why not order the army you sent to steal the city to launch a surprise attack from another gate? Can you take it with the situation?"

Gao Lan applauded when he heard the deputy general's suggestion.

"Not bad, I've thought about it before, but I was so angry that I almost forgot about it. I ordered them to ambush in the mountains and forests near the official road. You can immediately send someone to find them, send orders to let them attack the city nearby."

"Here!"

The general turned around and left. Gao Lan looked at the city and the battle situation in front of him, stroked his beard, and felt very happy.

"I don't know how the other two routes are going. Hey, it's impossible to get past this general soon. Chunyu Qiong, that waste, knows that he can't catch Huguan without three or five days, and there is also Changzicheng. As for the Black Mountain Army, huh, it's just a mob, don't even have to ask for help from this general in the end. I'm a Bingzhou person, Gao Lan can be enough to pacify it, and the lord is too troublesome."

When Gao Lan thought of this, he was very dissatisfied.

The battle on the city was getting more and more intense. I don’t know what happened. At first, the defenders who were almost useless at the beginning are now becoming more and more brave. More than a thousand people have rushed up the city wall one after another, but no one has been able to open the city gate from inside.

Gao Lan looked up the city tower from afar and saw that the figure was still mainly defending the city. Even the number of people on the other side did not seem to have decreased. However, the soldiers who climbed up the city tower were constantly thrown down, and many of their own soldiers' bodies had accumulated under the city wall.

"Hmm? Something was wrong. In less than two quarters of an hour, I attacked the city wall. But now half an hour has come, but there is no progress at all. There seems to be few enemy corpses under the city wall..."

When he felt something was wrong, a shout of killing suddenly came from behind him.

"Kill me, capture Gao Lan alive!"

Gao Lan hurriedly looked back and saw a cavalry with black helmet and black armor rushing towards him, and the solemn aura was coming to his face.

"What? This... This is... This is the heavy cavalry under Liu He? Didn't they go to chase and kill Ke Bineng? How could they appear here..."

At the time outside Hulao Pass, he had seen the power of the purple gold dragon cavalry with his own eyes. He was very afraid and even fearful. Now it was because Guan Yu led all 20,000 purple gold dragon cavalry to attack Ke Bineng in the north that he dared to come to attack Yanmen with such a arrogant attitude, otherwise he would not dare to come with ten courage.

Now that he saw this cavalry suddenly appear behind him, Gao Lan was so scared that he was so scared that he could fly out of the sky. At this moment, he instantly figured out the series of things he had just noticed.

"I've been trapped, I've been trapped!"

He shouted in a hurry: "Hurry up, Mingjin will withdraw his troops, hurry!"

While shouting loudly at the messenger, he pulled the reins himself and was about to escape into the forest on the side. There was a city in front and a pursuer behind. He had no other way except to escape into the forest.

"Yes, go into the mountains and forests. The heavy cavalry will find it difficult to exert its power in the mountains and forests, so I will be saved."

However, the next moment, another cavalry suddenly stood in front of him.

A young general, carrying a hook and sickle, blocked his way.

"Haha, Gao Lan, you idiot, you have been tricked by General Guan of my family, and you won't surrender!"

"What, Guan Yu is here?"

When Gao Lan heard the name, he almost fainted and fell off his horse.

He strangled the war horse and turned around. Sure enough, the cavalry that first appeared behind him, the commander in front, had a long beard with a red face and a blue dragon and a moon sword in his hand. If it weren't Guan Yu, who was it?

Guan Yu just glanced at him, then turned his head and continued to look at the battle ahead. Gao Lan obviously saw disdain in his eyes.

Qian Ning rode his horse out from behind Guan Yu.

"Golanpin, who do you think this is?"

He shook his hand and threw four heads onto the ground in front of Gao Lan.

Gao Lan approached and took a closer look. It was his deputy general, and the commander of the three troops he sent to steal the city a few days ago.

"It's over...this time is all over..."
