327.Chapter 327
Gan Ning led his troops to attack Yong'an County during the day, riding a horse.
At that time, Gan Ning was defeated in order to defend the army with the heart of slow and eternal peace. The war horse captured by the Xiliang Army was not Gan Ning's own mount.
For military generals, mounts and weapons are like their second life, how can they be easily abandoned?
Affectionately stroked, the mane on the neck of the mount under his crotch, the big yellow horse ran with his front hooves to plow the soil on the ground, and snorted.
Because it is not easy to sail in Fenshui, there are only a few war horses brought by Gan Ning. He glanced at the heavily armed soldiers behind him, and suddenly became arrogant.
Waving the long knife in his hand, Gan Ning roared loudly: "Meritorious service is in the present day, you brothers will kill the enemy with me!" ”
"Kill!"
There are many people in the 1,000 water army, and they are all those subordinates who Gan Ning gathered when he was a Jinfan thief. Since Ganning settled down and merged with the state, these people have come to Ganning one after another.
These people are outlaws, and they are all fierce.
Gan Ning left two hundred men to guard the warship, and with the remaining eight hundred sailors, he rushed forward with a shout.
"Drive!"
The Yong'an guard was worried about the loss of the soldiers of the 500 calamity battalion, and led the 300 cavalry to rush to the front with his war horse. Behind him, seven hundred foot soldiers followed him from a distance.
The Xiliang army, which was killed and dispersed by Gan Ning's people, many people fled in the direction of Yong'an City. They met the oncoming Yong'an guards and were overjoyed.
The Yongan guard said to them: "Where is the boss? ”
There was a small leader of the Xiliang Army, who said with a sad face: "The general has died in battle!" ”
The Yongan guard was shocked, and before he could continue to answer, he heard a rush of footsteps.
In the dim moonlight, the Yongan guard found that the person who came was the Bingzhou army.
"Dismount and prepare to meet the enemy!"
If the two armies suddenly meet in broad daylight, the Xiliang Army can completely rely on 300 cavalry to disperse the 800 Bingzhou Army that is not in formation.
However, the sky was dark and not suitable for cavalry combat.
Although the horses can see clearly at night, they have no problem running. However, due to malnutrition, most of the soldiers suffered from night blindness, and when they rode on warhorses, they were prone to command errors.
The current war horse does not have a horseshoe, and the knight is a little careless in controlling the horse at night, which will make the war horse sprain its hooves.
The cavalry's eyesight is not good, and it is easy to mess up the formation when charging, and if you are not careful, the formation will become disordered.
In the middle of the hurried march, a few knights made a mistake in controlling their horses, sprained their horses' hooves, and fell off their horses, and the Yongan guards had been distressed for a long time.
At night, when it was dark, the cavalry engaged the enemy's foot soldiers. As a battlefield general, Yong'an Shou General naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.
Gan Ning also knew this, so he didn't let the tent corporal light the torch. Otherwise, it will give the knight a clear target to charge.
The Yong'an guard looked around, estimated the number of the Bingzhou army, and found that there were really only eight hundred.
"Damn, if I hadn't been too careful, I would have led the army to cover up and kill the army during the day, and I would have been defeated."
Eight hundred state troops, even if they are defeated, there will be no ambush.
The brave and good fighting of the Liang army in the west, when the number far exceeded that of the Bingzhou army, it could completely annihilate the 800 Bingzhou army.
However, that opportunity, Yong'an Defender has been completely lost.
Thinking of this, Yong'an Shou gritted his steel teeth and shouted: "There are only a few hundred thieves in the army, we only need to drag it here, and when the thousands of troops behind arrive, we can wipe it all out and avenge the dead brothers!" ”
"Kill!"
At this time, not only the three hundred cavalry brought by the Yong'an guard, but even the defeated Xiliang soldiers slowly approached him, formed a simple formation, and turned back to prepare for a decisive battle with the Bingzhou army.
The battle-hardened Xiliang Army never lacks courage. It was only when they were suddenly attacked and the boss was killed that they scattered in a panic.
The Yong'an guard summoned a cronie and asked him to go forward, urging the foot soldiers behind him to come as soon as possible; On the one hand, he asked him to go to the city again and sent 500 soldiers and horses to help in the battle.
Although the Yongan guard is confident that he can defeat the opponent's 800 sailors with the 1,000 Xiliang elites under his command.
However, he was a cautious man by nature, and even if he was completely sure, he would mobilize another five hundred soldiers and horses to help in the battle.
It's not that he didn't think about it, first lead the troops back to the city, and wait until dawn, and then attack the state army with all his might.
However, he also knows the truth of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions.
Tonight, the Xiliang army failed to sneak attack, but instead lost a general and lost more than 200 soldiers. If he had returned to the city with his men in this way, the soldiers would have been demoralized.
At that time, even if the defenders in the city were far more numerous than the state army, it was not necessarily possible to win the battle again.
What's more, although he doesn't know much about the commander of the Bingzhou Army, General Yong'an can also deduce from what he has seen and heard today that he is not easy to match.
Even if he led the army to fight against him tomorrow, what if the army hid on the ship and did not fight?
After thinking about it, the Yongan guard decided to take advantage of the small victory of the Bingzhou army tonight and the morale was strong, and fight to the death with the Bingzhou army.
"I am a county of Gan Xingba, the thief will dare to fight with me!"
Gan Ning looked at the Xiliang army lined up, and was unwilling to waste time, so he directly slapped his horse and called for the formation.
He knew that only by killing the general of the Xiliang Army as quickly as possible could he avoid the arrival of Xiliang reinforcements and put the Bingzhou Army in a predicament.
Now there are only 800 foot soldiers under Gan Ning's command, and if he can't fight quickly, this small-scale battle will definitely end in failure.
In the face of Gan Ning's call, Yong'an Shou Jiang's heart sank. He knew that Gan Ning was brave and brave, and he was a little timid in his heart.
However, now that the Xiliang army has been newly defeated, although because of his prestige, he can make his subordinates continue to line up and fight with the Bingzhou army.
If he refuses Gan Ning's invitation to fight, I am afraid that the soldiers of Xiliang will think that he is cowardly in his heart.
If the main general has not stepped forward bravely, how can the soldiers fight hard?
What's more, now there are 800 people under Gan Ning's account, and there are only 300 in the Xiliang army. If the two armies are fighting now, the Xiliang army will definitely not be able to take advantage.
In a hurry, General Yong'an secretly thought: "I'll fight with him first, even if Gan Xingba is brave, in a short time, he won't want to defeat me." ”
"The other 600 foot soldiers of our army are already not far from here. I only need to entangle with him for a while, and when the foot soldiers arrive, I can make a false move, slap the horse back into battle, and then lead the army to cover the kill. ”
"In this way, the morale of the soldiers will not drop, and I will be able to stall for time, so why not?"
Thinking of this, General Yong'an clapped his horse forward and shouted: "The thief will be rampant, I will take your life!" ”
Seeing this, Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he didn't ask the other party's name, and patted the horse to take the Yongan guard.
For the current state army, time is of the essence.
Only by doing his best to kill the Yong'an defenders in a short period of time can Gan Ning ensure the victory of this battle.
"Kill!"
The two staggered, and the Yong'an guard was shocked, and his heart was terrified. He knew that Gan Ning's force was far superior to him.
"Come again!"
Gan Ning hurriedly turned the horse's head, brandished a big knife, and killed the Yong'an guard again.
The two of you went back and forth, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen rounds of fighting. The Yong'an guards have long been exhausted, and some can't stop it.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded. The Yongan guard knew that it was Xiliang's reinforcements coming, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.
He struggled to block Gan Ning's broadsword, and shouted to the Xiliang soldiers behind him: "Our army has the advantage in numbers, don't tell them what morality, just cover up and kill!" ”
Seeing this, Gan Ning was shocked and angry.
He hung his broadsword on his horse, bent his bow and arrows, and shot three arrows in a row at the Yong'an guard.
Before Gan Ning gathered his soldiers to fight the Yong'an defenders, he picked up his bow and arrows. This time, Gan Ning attacked angrily, and three arrows in a row roared away.
The Yong'an guard heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, and knew that Gan Ning released the cold arrow, so he was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly lay on the horse's back.
However, Gan Ning had an arrow, which was aimed at his war horse. Gan Ning's strength was incomparable, and the entire arrow was shot into the warhorse. The horse was hit by an arrow, and with a wail, it fell to the ground.
Yong'an Shou was thrown to the ground, and Gan Ning hurriedly rode over and hacked him to death with a knife.
Those Xiliang soldiers, when they saw that their master was about to fall off their horses, and that the thieves were about to slap their horses forward, they knew that it was not good. They wanted to come to the rescue, but it was too late.
Yong'an was cut in two, and blood was sprinkled all over the earth. When those Xiliang soldiers saw this, they were all stunned.
"General! Checkmate! ”
"The thief will dare to hurt people with cold arrows?"
"Avenge the General!"
The soldiers of Xiliang have always respected the Yong'an guards, and they are all red-eyed, wanting to kill Gan Ning to avenge their master.
"Oops!"
Gan Ning looked at the Xiliang soldiers, all of them rushed towards him like bulls in estrus, and he was suddenly shocked.
He originally thought that if he killed the Yong'an guard, the Xiliang army would collapse. But he didn't expect it, but it aroused the ferocity of the other party.
Gan Ning grabbed half of the body of the Yong'an guard, and then shouted loudly: "The whole army retreats!" ”
The eight hundred and state sailors, seeing the crazy Xiliang soldiers, also had some scalp numbness. After they heard Gan Ning's words, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and ran away.
Gan Ning was reluctant to fight with the other party, not that he was afraid of the Xiliang army. It's just that these soldiers who came with him were all Gan Ning's cronies and brothers.
Although Gan Ning is more tyrannical, he loves his subordinates very much. He was unwilling to fight the Xiliang army here and suffer unnecessary losses.
Xiliangjun saw the death of the coach and became a mourning soldier for a while.
As long as Gan Ning and the others don't fight with them now, when their momentum drops, the Xiliang Army without the main general will naturally be vulnerable.
For a time, on the banks of the Fenshui River, the sound of the state army's 'wind and whistling' disappeared from the other.
