After the Jingzhou soldiers retreated, it didn't take long for Gan Ning to lead the army into Jiangguan, and it was only at this time that the defenders in the city found some clues.

It turns out that although there seem to be many torches and many warships on the Yangtze River, many of them are actually fishing boats and merchant ships with torches.

Moreover, there were only 2,000 soldiers who came to help this time, and as for the big banner with the word 'Chen' erected in front of the ship, it was even more deliberate.

Gan Ning led two thousand soldiers into the city, and when he saw Zhang Yi who was shot dead, his face couldn't help but become very ugly.

Although Zhang Yi is very young and has no experience, Gan Ning is very important to this person, thinking that Zhang Yi will definitely become a great weapon after a period of training.

never thought that Zhang Yi would die on the battlefield in the first battle of his life.

Fa Zheng walked over and said to Gan Ning: "General, now is not the time to relax, if Na Pang Tong sees that our army is not pursuing, he will definitely wake up and lead his troops back to attack the city again." ”

Gan Ning admired Fa Zheng at this time, if it weren't for Fa Zheng's bluff, I'm afraid Jiangguan would have changed hands by now.

It turned out that when Gan Ning had not yet arrived here, he saw the flames rushing into the sky here, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and he knew that something was wrong.

Gan Ning wanted to quickly send troops to help, but Fa Zheng thought that there were too few soldiers under his command, and the enemy situation was unknown, so if he encountered the Jingzhou army on the river, the outcome would be unpredictable.

In that case, not only will they not be able to keep Jiangguan, but they may also be defeated by the Jingzhou army.

Fa Zheng then set up a bluff strategy, and just where they passed, there was a ferry with many fishing boats and merchant ships that had been stranded by the war.

Fa Zheng asked all these boats to be recruited, and then asked the soldiers to light torches on them, and let the boats be spaced apart, so as to create the illusion that the entire river was full of boats as far as the eye could see.

In order to bluff, Fa Zheng also asked Gan Ning to remove his flag and hang the banner of 'Chen' on the boat, deliberately making Gan Ning shout loudly, so as to confuse the Jingzhou soldiers.

Sure enough, Pang Tong saw the banner of the word 'Chen', and heard the shouts of Gan Ning, as well as the shouts of the Yizhou army one after another, and really thought that Chen Zheng led the troops to ambush nearby, and fled in a hurry.

It can be said that if it weren't for Fazheng's scheme, I am afraid that Jiangguan would have been lost, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses led by Gan Ning would also be defeated by the Jingzhou naval army.

Don't look at the new warships under Gan Ning, but the Jingzhou Navy is also the best in the world, especially after Liu Bei took charge of Jingzhou, it is even more difficult for people to practice the Navy every day.

Over the past few years, the Jingzhou Navy has been very strong in combat and is not under the Jiangdong Navy at all.

After hearing Fa Zheng's words, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he let the navy sail the warship into the port and prepare defensive measures.

Not only that, Gan Ning also asked the soldiers to stand on the city wall and prepared many arrows to guard against the Jingzhou naval army that might return at any time.

However, it was said that Guan Yu led the navy to retreat, but he didn't see the Yizhou navy chasing after him for a long time, and Pang Tong immediately shouted: "It's not good, I fell for the enemy's tricks." ”

Guan Yu hurriedly asked, "The military advisor is worried, there are ambushes ahead?" ”

No wonder Guan Yu would say this, if Chen Zheng really had set up a plan a long time ago and waited for the Jingzhou Navy to attack, it would not be impossible to continue to set up ambushes in front.

It's just that if you want to set up an ambush in the middle of the river, it is a little too difficult.

Pang Tong said with a pale face: "We were deceived by Gan Ning's gang, and there are definitely not many troops led by Gan Ning, so it's just a bluff." ”

Huang Zhong said suspiciously: "But on the surface of the Fangcai River, there are indeed dense warships, and Chen Zheng is also on the boat, how can he not bring a large army over?" ”

Pang Tong said: "I just remembered that there is a ferry not far from Jiangguan, where many fishing boats and merchant ships are stationed. ”

Speaking of this, Pang Tong's face became more and more ugly, and he said: "And the big banner with the word 'Chen' must have been deliberately done by Gan Ning." ”

"If Chen Zheng really prepared in advance, how could he easily let me go, we were all deceived!"

When Guan Yu and Huang Zhong heard this, their faces became extremely ugly.

Guan Yu snorted even more coldly: "The Yizhou army uses this kind of indiscriminate means, I think there are not many reinforcements, I will kill it now, and I will definitely capture Jiangguan." ”

Pang Tong also said: "It's good to go back and explore the truth now, if you can capture Jiangguan in one fell swoop, it would be great." ”

After the discussion, Guan Yu asked the Jingzhou Navy to return and go to Jiangguan to kill again.

……

Gan Ning asked people to clean up the battlefield, and the Yizhou Navy also entered the water village and waited for it.

Suddenly, there were more and more fires on the river, and warships were moving from east to west, but Gan Ning sneered when he saw this.

He turned his head to Fa Zheng beside him and said, "Sure enough, as Mr. expected, that Pang Tong really let the Jingzhou army go and return." ”

"If they come back sooner, I am still afraid of him, and the preparations are already made at this time, and the thieves will not want to take the city again."

Regarding Zhang Yi's death, Gan Ning has been holding back his anger.

Seeing that the Jingzhou army did not know whether they were alive or dead, and led the troops back again, they naturally wanted to kill.

Feeling the tyrannical emotion in Gan Ning's heart, Fa Zheng couldn't help frowning and said: "I am outnumbered among the thieves, and there is also a general in the thief army, whose archery skills are extraordinary, and the general should not be careless." ”

Gan Ning said: "Sir, but please rest assured, if the enemy army does not have 10,000 or 20,000 horses, don't think about breaking through the water village." ”

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

The sound of war drums rumbled, Guan Yu led the Jingzhou Navy to rush back, looking at the big banner of the word "Gan" on the city wall, and couldn't help but breathe fire in his eyes.

It was only then that they were convinced that they and others had been deceived.

Guan Yu raised the big knife in his hand, pointed at Gan Ning in the city, and shouted: "Gan Xingba, I have heard that you are the first general of the Guanzhong Water Army, can you dare to go out of the village to fight with us?" ”

Gan Ning pointed at Guan Yu and scolded: "Duke Qin treats you and the other three brothers very well, even if you want to return your wife, Duke Qin will not hesitate to agree." ”

"I don't want your three brothers to be wolf-hearted, but you want to seize the foundation of the Duke of Qin, if you fall into my hands, I will definitely crush your bones and scatter ashes!"

When Guan Yu heard this, he was shocked and angry, but he couldn't refute it, and immediately let people drive the warship to attack the Yizhou Army Water Village.

But he didn't want to, and before the warship got close to the water village, it was shot back by random arrows. Guan Yu was about to give an order to forcibly attack the Yizhou Junshui Village, but was stopped by Pang Tong.

Pang Tong looked at the Yizhou army that was waiting for him, and finally sighed: "The thieves have already taken precautions, and it is almost impossible to break through the water village and seize the city." ”

"Now that the enemy army has been investigated, and the sky is dark, it is not a good time to storm the water village."

"Wait a little longer, as long as the lord leads the army to arrive here, the small city garrisoned by thousands of people can be breached within an overnight."

Although Guan Yu was indignant, he also knew that there would be no more points to be captured tonight, so he had to order the withdrawal of troops.

Time and space reversal, scene reversal.

However, it was said that in order to confuse the defenders of Yizhou, Pang Tong let Liu Bei lead the army to storm Wuguan for more than half a month.

As the battle situation slowly stalemate, the Jingzhou soldiers couldn't help but show fatigue, and the defenders of the city became more and more relaxed to resist the Jingzhou soldiers.

As for Zhang Xiu, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Jia Xu appeared with a solemn face, and said to Zhang Xiu: "I see that the Jingzhou soldiers are suspicious, and they will definitely have some schemes." ”

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What did Mr. see?" ”

Jia Xu was silent for a long time and said: "During this time, although the Jingzhou army still attacked the city every day, there were many fewer soldiers and horses, which is absolutely unreasonable. ”

"If what I expected is correct, Liu Xuande must have sent a group of soldiers and horses to quietly attack Ba County."

Zhang Xiu frowned and said: "I observe the Jingzhou army flag and cooking smoke every day, and I don't find that the number of Jingzhou soldiers has decreased, is Mr. too worried?" ”

"What's more, even if Liu Bei wants to attack Yizhou, he will definitely attack Hanzhong, which is closer to Wuguan, instead of Bajun."

"Hanzhong Gongming led a heavy army to guard, and the Jingzhou soldiers wanted to capture Hanzhong, which is tantamount to a fool's dream."

Jia Xu sighed: "The lord once praised Pang Shiyuan, saying that he has the talent of the heavens and the earth, let me wait to underestimate this person, presumably that Pang Shiyuan must have real talent and real learning." ”

"If Pang Shiyuan deliberately let people plant flags widely and create cooking smoke for 100,000 people to eat, the general might see the flaw?"

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but stop talking when she heard this.

As long as the enemy army has been prepared for it, it is somewhat unrealistic to want to see the reality of the enemy army through the flags and cooking smoke.

"General think back again, during this period of time, Pang Tong, Guan Yu, and Huang Zhong were found from the Jingzhou army?"

Zhang Xiu thought about it for a while, and if it was really a few days, he didn't see these three people. Now the generals who are calling the battle under the city are either Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, or Chen Dao.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu's face couldn't help but change slightly.

Jia Xu continued: "As the saying goes: surprise and attack unprepared. It is precisely because of the heavy garrison in Hanzhong that Ba County's troops are empty, and the Jingzhou soldiers will sneak attack Ba County. ”

"If Pang Tong leads the crowd to attack Jiangguan, if the Jiangguan guards will be defenseless, this checkpoint will definitely be taken away by the Jingzhou soldiers, and the gateway to Bajun will be opened."

"In this way, the Jingzhou soldiers can continue to enter the hinterland of Yizhou, and if they join forces with the Yiyue rebels, the entire Yizhou will no longer be owned by the lord."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said excitedly: "Since the Jingzhou soldiers are bluffing now, I will lead the troops to rush out, if I can capture Liu Bei, this Jingzhou is not to worry." ”

Although Zhang Xiu's enterprising spirit is not strong, he also knows that he must focus on the overall situation, and if the Jingzhou soldiers really attack Ba County, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now taking advantage of the bluff of the Jingzhou soldiers, suddenly kill out of the city, even if you can't catch Liu Bei, you can also break the Jingzhou soldiers, why not?
