Wen Ping has led the army for many years, and he will not admit defeat like Gan Ning, at this time, a shot separates the combat circle, pulls the horse away and stops dozens of meters away.

Gan Ning didn't have much strength at this time, and when he saw Wen Ping acting like this, he didn't pursue it, but shouted: "Wen Ping, why don't you fight?" ”

Wen Ping's face was expressionless, and his chest rose and fell slightly: "Gan Ning, you and I are of equal strength, even if we continue to fight, there will be no result, it is still up to the soldiers and horses." ”

Gan Ning shouted: "Okay, Ning Feng will accompany you to the end, it depends on how long your soldiers and horses are enough for my sons to slaughter." ”

Although there are some corrupt soldiers in Jingzhou, but Wenpin's subordinates will never appear, Gan Ning has stayed in Jingzhou for some days, and he also has an understanding of it.

But Wenpin didn't care about this, pulled out the horse and returned to the main formation, and ordered the army to form a square to charge and kill Li's army.

Seeing Wen Ping choose a relatively conservative shock formation, Gan Ning knew that this was to test himself.

In this case, Gan Ning chose a relatively physical strength saving method, letting the army stand in place and not take the initiative to meet it.

Gan Ning's method also has his plan, the army has been marching for many days and needs to be restored, and if he fights with the Wenpin army at this time, he will definitely suffer some losses.

Seeing that Li's army was defending and fighting, Wen Ping knew that he couldn't take much advantage of going there, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

The first battle can be said to be indistinguishable from victory or defeat, but for the Jingzhou soldiers, this is great news, because they have heard more than once that the Li army is brave and invincible, and can defeat one hundred enemies.

But today's battle made it clear to them that Li Jun was not so powerful, and after coming and going, the morale of the Jingzhou army rose, and some people began to despise it.

And Wen Ping was busy with how to deal with Gan Ning, so he was not on patrol in the army, and he didn't know about the situation.

Looking at Gan Ning's approach today, if you want to hold the city, it should not be a problem to have some casualties, I am afraid that Li Jun still has the so-called Shenwu artillery.

Wen Ping, who was meditating alone in the handsome tent, showed worry on his face, although Liu Biao didn't care about Guangling, but this Guangling could not be easily lost.

Otherwise, Li Jun would have the strength to force into Jingzhou, even if there was a big battle and the city was finally captured, it would be better than retreating without a fight.

can be defended, which means that the army has a loss of clubs, and if it is not good, it will be ruined, and how to explain to Liu Biao when the time comes.

There was no way left and right, Wen Ping had a headache for a while, and had no choice but to close his eyes and rest temporarily.

Li Jun Dazhai, after Gan Ning collected his troops and returned, he immediately gathered his subordinates and others to discuss the matter of seizing the city.

This time, Xu Shu dispatched less than five Shenwu cannons, and even fewer shells, less than thirty, so if they are not captured in a battle, then they will enter a normal offensive and defensive battle, and they will have no superior weapons.

In the tent, Gan Ning glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, Ning decided to rest the army for two days, and then break through the city in one fell swoop. ”

When the first general heard this, he stood up and said: "General Gan, this battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise it will increase losses. ”

The other general stood up and said: "It's not appropriate, the four doors are attacking, the strength is not enough, it is better to break through one door." ”

Most of these generals are brothers who have followed Gan Ning for many years, and when they were in Yizhou, they also had experience in leading troops, so they are cronies and will not be restrained in their speeches.

Gan Ning shook his head and said: "No, this person is cautious in his use of troops, only if he succeeds in one blow, otherwise he will have no chance of winning." ”

"What you just said, let the general suddenly think, there are countermeasures in his heart, and then attack the city, you will attack the east and west and south gates, and the north gate will be handed over to the general."

"When you attack the city, just play a normal attack, it is best to break through the city gate, and it doesn't matter if you can't break it."

Gan Ning's words made everyone curious, and they spoke to ask, but they didn't expect that he, who was bold, would also do something that would whet people's appetite for a while.

"What does this mean, General?"

"yes......"

……

Gan Ning smiled and said to the generals who asked the question: "It's not time yet, you will know when the time comes." ”

Seeing that Gan Ning was mysterious, the generals could only hold their curiosity and wait for the day of siege.

Two days later, Gan Ning ordered the army to eat early, and when the sky was slightly bright, he besieged Guangling on all sides, and as soon as the sun showed a corner, he ordered the soldiers to beat the siege drums.

As soon as the drums sounded, Li Jun, who had already prepared, advanced to the city gate in accordance with the general's order.

Wen Ping had come to the city as early as when Li Jun was besieging the city, and when he saw Li Jun moving, he hurriedly ordered people to prepare to defend to the death, and made a military order, which let Li Jun take the lead in breaking through, and the defenders would not be forgiven, no matter how much credit they had in the past.

This method of writing and employing subordinates gives the subordinate generals no way to retreat, only to fight to the death with hard teeth, after all, the choice between being beheaded and dying in battle, the latter is more beneficial to the former.

Wen Ping inspected each gate and saw that the north gate was Gan Ning's main attack, so he immediately seized the right to guard the north gate and led it by himself.

There is nothing surprising about the other three siege gates, and Zhang Bao, the commander of the Shenji Battalion at the North Gate, is commanding the soldiers and pushing the Shenwu Cannon into the designated position.

"Hurry up, take position immediately, delay the time of the attack, and the military law will engage in ......"

The soldiers acted quickly under the urging, and it didn't take long for the Shenwu cannon to be placed, and Zhang Bao immediately ordered someone to notify Gan Ning.

When Gan Ning learned that he personally led 800 soldiers who followed him all the way, he rushed towards the city wall.

As Gan Ning was about to enter the range of the bow and arrow in the city, Zhang Bao immediately shouted: "Open the cannon!" In the shortest possible time, all the shells were fired, and it was necessary to suppress the enemy forces in the city and let the general take the city smoothly. ”

"Bang, bang, bang......"

At the sound of an order, five catapults were fired rapidly, and thirty shells were fired in less than two minutes.

Under such a violent and rapid bombardment, the army in the city was stunned for a while, and they did not know where to hide.

Although Wen Ping has heard of the power of the Shenwu cannon, he still has doubts in his heart, and he has experienced it personally at this time, and he is also in a state of confusion for a while.

Gan Ning took advantage of this short opportunity to take the lead in climbing the city tower, and when Wen Ping woke up, Gan Ning had already occupied a corner.

Wen Ping's face was scratched by the fragments of the Shenwu cannon, and at this time, the blood slowly oozing out, coupled with the gloom of the eyes on it, was a little scary.

Wen Ping held a sword in his hand and shouted: "Block, drive Li Jun out of the city, don't mess up." ”

Wen Ping's words are useless to these Jingzhou soldiers who have been frightened.

Seeing that the army was still fleeing in all directions, Wen Ping knew in his heart that when Li Jun completely occupied the city, then they would have no chance of winning.

Now that the defeat has been revealed, only by retreating as soon as possible can the army not be lost, and it can also be explained to Liu Biao.

Wen Ping slashed down a disobedient person with a sword, and shouted: "Withdraw, keep in formation, and quickly retreat......"
