The adjutant general had a hundred cavalry under his tent, and when he saw that the Bingzhou army was defeated and fled, he abandoned his infantry and led only a hundred cavalry to chase and kill.

Gan Ning rode on his horse, ran in front, and shouted loudly: "The wind is blowing, brothers, retreat!" ”

Although two legs can't run four legs, there is a mountain road outside Yongan County, so you can only use foot soldiers to move forward.

"Damn it!"

When the deputy general saw that Gan Ning had abandoned the horse and led people to flee into the mountain road, he cursed, and then reined in the war horse. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the foot soldiers behind him to catch up.

After capturing the war horse discarded by Gan Ning, the deputy general was about to lead his troops in pursuit, but suddenly heard the sound of Mingjin collecting his troops.

glanced at the fleeing Bingzhou army hatefully, and there was some unwillingness in his eyes. Rao is like this, and he does not dare to disobey military orders.

After returning to the city with the troops, the adjutant general said angrily: "I was about to capture that guy alive, why did the general withdraw his troops?" ”

Glancing at the deputy general, the Yong'an guard said lightly: "Ambush in fear, poor Kou Mo chase." What's more, our primary purpose is to defend the county seat of Yong'an. ”

"It is true that it is meritorious to kill the thief army, but it is the duty to defend the county."

The adjutant general was indignant in his heart, and when he returned home, he scolded: "The embarrassed Nai is as timid as a mouse, he doesn't dare to fight, and he misses the fight." Otherwise, I would have been a thief a long time ago. ”

His cronies hurriedly admonished: "General, please be cautious!" ”

The deputy general also knew that most of the people in Yongan County were the cronies of the chief general, and he scolded just now, and then he didn't dare to speak again.

However, he said that after the Yong'an guard saw the defeat and flight of the state army, he had been a little uneasy in his heart. He never thought that the brave and brave army would be so vulnerable.

"The banner of the thief army is written with the word 'Gan', who is their main general?"

The Yongan Keeper frowned and muttered to himself.

A general next to him suddenly whispered: "General, I once heard that when Chen Bingzhou got married, there was a general named Gan Ning, who fought with Lu Fengxian for sixty rounds without winning or losing, could it be this person?" ”

The Yongan guard was shocked when he heard this, so he hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

He was born in Xiliang, and when Dong Zhuo was not dead before, he had also seen Lu Bu, so why didn't he know about Lu Bu's bravery?

He thought to himself, even if he fought with Lu Bu, he might not be able to last ten rounds. Since Gan Ning was able to fight Lu Bu for sixty rounds, he was by no means easy to match.

For the deputy general's catties, Yong'an Shou General knows a lot. He never thought that the lieutenant could defeat someone who could fight Lu Bu for sixty rounds without winning or losing.

It was precisely because of this that he thought that the enemy army was cheating, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops.

"How many troops are there in the state army?"

The Yong'an guard thought about it, but he didn't think that the enemy army was only a thousand men and horses, and his heart was uneasy.

"No matter how many people he has, I just need to guard the county."

Thinking of this, the Yong'an defender asked people to strengthen the city wall, and let the defenders take turns to rest to prevent the state army from attacking.

At lunchtime, General Yongan looked at the gruel in the bowl, and his mood was a little heavy. Even though he asked people to loot all the grain and grass in the people's homes, he still didn't find much material.

If you can't save money, I'm afraid that Yong'an County will soon run out of food.

A cronie stepped forward and said, "General, Yong'an is surrounded by mountains, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountains. In the past, we could also go into the mountains to hunt and collect wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy our hunger. ”

"Now that the state army is coming, we can't go out of the city, if there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid Yong'an County won't be able to support it for a few days."

When the Yongan guard heard this, he was silent. He didn't know when the reinforcements from Puzi County would arrive.

That night, the adjutant general suddenly came to the side of the Yongan guard general and said: "Today's thief army is newly defeated, and the morale must be low. If we take advantage of the night to rob the camp, we will surely win a great victory. ”

"The general only needs to give me 500 men, and he will definitely sacrifice the head of the thief general to the general."

Looking at some high-spirited lieutenant generals, General Yong'an suddenly asked, "Do you know who is the surname of the person who fought with you today?" ”

The adjutant general was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

The Yongan guard sighed lightly and said: "Ganning and Ganxingba, Ba County, who once crossed the Yangtze River, later defected to Bingzhou, and fought with Lu Fengxian for sixty rounds without a victory. ”

The adjutant general was first taken aback, and then said disdainfully: "So what? ”

He hadn't seen Lu Bu, but when he heard about Lu Bu's reputation, he naturally didn't think how powerful the other party was.

The adjutant said proudly: "No matter who the thief is, I only know that if he doesn't run away, he will continue to fight me." Within ten heels, a certain person will be able to cut it under the horse. ”

What's more, it is still unknown whether the thief will be Gan Ning or not. The general should not miss the fighter plane because of a momentary hesitation. ”

"Moreover, there is not much food left in Yong'an City. If you don't rush to defeat the state army as soon as possible, let the soldiers go out to forage for food. I'm afraid that there is no need for the thief army to attack the city, and Yong'an will also be self-defeating. ”

When the Yongan guard heard this, he frowned and was silent.

The adjutant general's words are not unreasonable. If it is only based on a trace of suspicion and fear of Gan Ning's reputation, it is not the work of a wise man to delay the fighter.

What's more, the current Yong'an City can't afford it at all.

Taking a deep breath, the Yong'an guard said, "I and your five hundred men and horses will go to rob the camp." A certain personally led a thousand men and horses, thinking that he would respond. ”

"If you succeed in robbing the camp, I will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the state army in one fell swoop; If the thieves are on guard and fall for the trick, I can also rescue them in time. ”

The adjutant general was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly received the order, and then went to select soldiers and prepare to rob the camp.

The large village of the state army stood in the water, and the soldiers of the state army seemed to be resting on the boat.

At night, the deputy general led 500 men and horses to quietly leave Yong'an County and rushed straight to Dazhai of the state army.

Because he was afraid of the sound of horses' hooves, he woke up the Bingzhou army who were sleeping. This time the camp was robbed, and the deputy general led all the foot soldiers.

Seeing that the distance from Bingzhou Water Village was getting closer and closer, the deputy general hurriedly stopped everyone and whispered: "Wait until you rush to the river, just set fire to the boat." ”

Everyone nodded, indicating that they knew, and then under the leadership of the deputy general, they quietly touched the side of the Bingzhou Water Village.

The moonlight is not bright tonight, and even the stars are a little dim. Although it has begun to decrease, they can still be heard occasionally chirping.

On both sides of the road, there are often one or two small birds flapping their wings and flying in the sky and chirping twice.

"It's close, it's close!"

The deputy general looked at the boat in front of him, quietly floating on the Fenshui, and shouted loudly in his heart.

"Light the fire, burn the ship!"

The adjutant general let out a low shout, and the soldiers behind him lit torches without hesitation.

"Kill!"

As soon as the fire started, a shocking shout of killing suddenly erupted nearby.

One arrow after another, like a meteor catching the moon, shot at the Xiliang army with torches.

In the dim night, the one who lights the torch will undoubtedly become a living target.

With the sound of shouting and killing, those boats that had been quietly parked by the river quickly floated towards the center of the Fenshui like arrows from the string.

"Throw the torches at those boats!"

Fortunately, the lieutenant general was not a complete straw bag, and after he knew that he had been ambushed, he shouted loudly by the throat.

Gan Ning bent his bow and arrows, staring closely at the battlefield. It wasn't until the deputy general of the Xiliang Army gave a loud order that he narrowed his eyes slightly and let go of the bowstring that had been pulled out.

"Poof!"

The arrow undoubtedly hit the neck of the deputy general of the Xiliang Army.

"Ho-ho!"

The deputy general of the Xiliang Army covered his neck, with horror and unwillingness on his face. Blood splattered out, and his body could no longer support it, and he fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

"The general is dead, the general is dead!"

The rest of the Xiliang soldiers all shouted loudly in horror.

They threw away the torches in their hands in a panic, some threw them at the warships in the water, and some threw them directly on the ground, and then they were trampled on.

However, at this time the warship had drifted far from the river bank, and there was not a single torch at all, which could be thrown on the ship.

The torches were extinguished, and the Xiliang army had lost more than eighty people. In the darkness of the night lost the fire, and the archers of the state army had no targets for archery.

"Abandon the bow and arrow, and fight with me!"

Gan Ning did not hesitate at all, and with an army of eight hundred sailors, he directly pounced on the leaderless Xiliang army.

The sudden ambush and the death of the main general made the will of the Xiliang army begin to collapse. They shouted and fled.

Under the leadership of Gan Ning, the Bingzhou army pursued and killed the scattered Xiliang army like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The Yong'an guard, who rode a thousand paces, has been sending scouts to reconnoiter the battle situation ahead.

When he saw the fire rising in the distance, his face was happy, and he knew that the deputy general had approached the water village of the Bingzhou army and began to set fire to the ship.

However, the earth-shattering shouting of killing made him feel that something was wrong.

Suddenly thinking of something, his face changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "All the troops follow me forward to rescue the brothers who went to rob the village." ”

After speaking, he rushed over first.

The Bingzhou army fought for a while, and the Xiliang army had already scattered and fled. Due to the dark sky and the fact that the Xiliang army was not familiar with the terrain, they did not dare to divide their troops to pursue.

"General, there are only five hundred people who came to rob the camp this time, and the Yong'an defenders still have one thousand and five, how should we seize the city?"

Gan Ning said: "The Yong'an guard is not a mediocre general, if I expect it to be correct, he will definitely lead a receiving army to come." Lead my war horse, just take advantage of tonight to kill this fang! ”

Speaking of this, Gan Ning's eyes flashed with a crazy look.

He was a bold man, and with a thousand and hundreds of sailors, he dared to come to attack Yong'an without authorization, and wanted to make a meritorious contribution.

This battle was the first battle after he defected to the state. If he can't win a big battle cleanly, he will definitely be looked down upon by others in the future.

Therefore, Gan Ning took a desperate step and lured the Xiliang army to attack. He also had to lead the 800 sailors to meet the Yong'an defenders, and wanted to kill them here with his bravery.

If the two guards of Yong'an are all killed, Yong'an County will be self-defeating.
