Echeng!

The city was guarded tightly and there were many soldiers and armor.

Suddenly.

From the far west, a black torrent rushed over.

When the soldiers on the West City Tower saw it, they were shocked.

"It's Cao's army, Cao's army is here."

"Hurry drum beat warning."

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The rapid drums fell like raindrops.

Pang Tong, who was dealing with political affairs in the mansion, heard the sound of drums, immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked out of the mansion.

"What happened?"

Pang Tong asked to the guard beside him.

"Sir, a Cao army came from outside the city and was about to arrive in Echeng." A messenger ran away hurriedly and said.

Pang Tong's face suddenly changed.

How could Cao's army come to attack Echeng? Could it be that the lord and Kong Ming failed to attack Jiangxia, and not only failed to defeat Jiangxia, but also caused Jiangxia to attack in the future?

No!

Never this will be the case.

With Kong Ming's wisdom, even if he fails, he will notify him in advance.

And now, he has not received any news.

Therefore, the Cao army outside the city is not the Jiangxia army.

"Can you see clearly and get the flag? How many people are coming?" Pang Tong asked while walking towards the West City Tower.

The messenger nodded: "I saw clearly that the word "Gan" was written on the commander's flag in front of me."

"As for the troops, there are about 10,000."

As a messenger, he is naturally literate.

And he also has a corresponding set of experience in guessing enemy soldiers.

broken!

As soon as he heard what the commander said, Pang Tong felt a sudden thud.

The general surnamed Gan is not the prefect of Jiangxia Gan Ning?

It is rumored that this man is brave and good at fighting. He once chased the lord in the Yangtze River and threw away his armor. He was able to escape by taking the river water up. Later, he brought a hundred cavalry to Jiangdong to burn the food and grass that the lord had worked hard to collect.

Even, he even kidnapped the important official Lu Su, Jiangdong, by the straw boat some time ago.

It can be said that all the things that Gan Ning did were too shocking.

He is a famous general under Cao Cao's command.

His current fame is even stronger than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At this moment, Gan Ning led 10,000 troops to attack Echeng.

No need to think about it, it must have been planned long ago.

"We've all been trapped."

Pang Tong's brain was running wildly and he immediately figured it out.

He smiled bitterly and hurried up to the Xicheng Tower.

When I looked out, my heart sank even more.

The soldiers and armor are sharp, this is the elite of Cao's army.

Gan Ning brought 10,000 elite troops to come, and the purpose was self-evident.

"Tell me the order, and draw out five hundred soldiers from the other three gates to come and guard the West Gate."

Pang Tong gave the order helplessly.

There is no way, there are only three thousand soldiers and horses in Echeng now.

The troops are not enough, so we can only focus on defending Ximen, who is the first to be the brunt of the brunt of the battle.

Fortunately, after Liu Bei and others left, he planted flags on the E City to create suspicious soldiers. Even if it was Gan Ning outside the city, unless it attacked several times, it would definitely not be able to detect the virtuality and reality in the E City in a short period of time.

"Lord, please lead the troops back to the rescue."

After the arrangement, Pang Tong looked in the direction of Jiang Xia.

It should be fine to block 10,000 Cao's army with three thousand soldiers and horses. With the help of Echeng, it should be fine to persist for a long time.

Half a day later, if there are no reinforcements, Echeng will be lost.

By then, the lord's retreat will be cut off.

He completely became the turtle in the jar of Cao's army.

When Pang Tong arranged the city defense, Gan Ning also photographed the horse and came to the gate of the west city of Echeng.

He looked up and glanced at the Chousheng above.

He suddenly laughed.

"Is it Pang Shiyuan ~~?"

He had met Pang Tong in Cao's camp.

But later, Pang Tong left Cao's camp by taking advantage of the golden cicada's plan to escape, and there was no intersection between the two.

"It's me, General is Gan Ning, the prefect of Jiangxia?" Pang Tong asked from the gap in the city tower toward the bottom.

"Yes, since I know that this general is coming, I will not open the city and offer surrender quickly. I can spare you all the time."

"Otherwise, once the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will be uneasy."

Gan Ning said viciously.

He had been a Jinfan thief for more than ten years before, and was famous in the Yangtze River Basin.

Later, they served under Liu Biao and Huang Zu respectively.

In addition to the brilliant achievements over the past period.

It can be said that everyone in Jingzhou knows the name of Gan Ning.

When the soldiers on Echeng heard that the general under the city was Gan Ning, they were immediately upset.

"He is Gan Ning, who burns grain for hundreds of cyclists?"

"The Jinfan thief who kidnapped Mr. Lu Su?"

"This person is fierce and has a strong character, and with ten thousand Cao troops, how can we resist it?"

Morale fell sharply in an instant.

"Quick, shoot away the Gan Ning."

Pang Tong hurriedly shouted at the crossbowman beside him.

He didn't expect that Gan Ning just mentioned a name and frightened his soldiers.

Immediately, there was no time to have the intention to chat with Gan Ning.

I originally planned to delay the time by using this, but now it seems that the gain is not worth the loss.

That hatred in Pang Tong’s heart!

Hurry!

The arrows shoot down from the city tower and have a longer range.

Gan Ning slapped the arrow with a big knife and then retreated to a safe distance.

"General, is it okay?"

The deputy general beside him asked.

"It's okay, quickly build siege equipment, don't need too many. After an hour, follow me to attack the city." Gan Ning sneered.

"One hour? Is the time too little? Even if you work hard to build it, you can't build many ladders and rushers." The deputy general said in embarrassment.

"In one hour, how much can we build? Aren't our army bringing a thousand men's baggage troops? Just let them build with all their strength."

"There are insufficient defenders in the city. I will lead the troops to attack the Ximen later. If you lead the troops to attack the other three gates, you will definitely break the city."
