Because there were scouts five miles away from the trapped camp, Guo Shui always thought that the other party was also resting peacefully.
In ancient times, there were not many entertainment activities at night, especially during marches and wars, so except for the security personnel, everyone had gone to bed early.
The third watch corresponds to Zi time, and the fourth watch corresponds to Chou hour, which is the most tiring time of the night.
Gan Ning and Xu Shuang were both wrapped in armor and came to the outskirts of Guoshui camp.
Lieutenant General Liang Tai led his men to the camp in the south and used lightning speed to pull off the horses and deer antlers.
"Beep beep..."
Strange whistles sounded in the dark night, and Guo Shui's staggering guards thought they were birdsong at night.
Hundreds of horsemen took advantage of the situation and rushed into the camp with big swords. They chopped down people and set fire to the tents. The sound of horse hooves was like rolling spring thunder, and their neighing was like the roar of mountains and rivers. The silent military camp was suddenly overturned.
"Enemy attack..."
"It's gone..."
"There are enemies in the south..."
"There are more enemies in the west..."
...
Because of his uneasiness, Guo Shui slept with his clothes on when resting.
When Guo Shui was helped onto his horse by his own soldiers, the entire camp was already in chaos. In the dark night, people were fighting and shouting regardless of the enemy. For a moment, he was in a trance. Could this be a dream scene?
"General Guo, there are enemies on all sides, please leave quickly, otherwise something will happen..." the soldiers urged.
Guo Shui suddenly woke up, whipped his horse on the buttocks, and ran towards the direction with fewer people.
Gan Ning's five hundred cavalry were like killing gods. The horses passed by the sword and fell without any sloppy movements. This is also what is repeatedly emphasized in the martial arts hall: the principle of simplicity, the method of killing, the simpler the better.
They are like giants in the deep sea, muddying the calm lake surface of Guoshui, which creates conditions for the trapped camp to take over the battlefield.
The shouts of killing continued until dawn, and a total of 3,500 people were beheaded. The rest of the enemies were dispersed in panic. Guo Shui fled to Zhongliu County with only a few dozen cavalry.
When cleaning the battlefield, Lai Gong was dumbfounded. He finally knew what existed next to Yulin County. If all Gao Shun's 10,000-strong troops went south, they would probably be able to easily crush the entire Jiaozhou area. He and Wu Ju had grown up in the past few years.
In the eyes of others, playing around is just like children playing.
After recovering Guilin and resting for two days, Gan Ning continued to lead his army southward.
Guo Shui did not stop after returning to Zhongliu County and continued to flee south to Bushan, the seat of Yulin County.
When Wu Ju saw Guo Shui looking sluggish and kneeling in front of him dejectedly, he frowned and asked, "Didn't General Guo go after Lai Gong? Are you back so soon?"
"My lord, I don't know where Lai Gong invited reinforcements from, and he was ultimately defeated..."
Wu Ju rubbed his forehead. He was almost able to replace Lai Gong. At this time, his mood was like dark clouds floating in the clear sky.
"Who will be the leader of the opponent's troops? How many troops and horses are there in total?" Wu Ju asked.
"We haven't had time to investigate yet, but there are countless soldiers and horses. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people." Guo Shui made a random guess.
Tens of thousands? There is only one Tanzhong left in Lai Gong's Yulin County. Even if it is difficult to gather tens of thousands of men to go into battle, how can there be tens of thousands of powerful troops?
While Wu Ju was meditating, the sentinel he sent had returned to Bushan. The guard outside the door came in and whispered a few words to his side. Wu Ju then looked at Guo Shui with a sinister look.
Lai Gong captured Guilin with lightning speed in three days, and slipped into two counties. The supporting army Guo Shuikou mentioned was from Lingling, and the total of amphibious, land and infantry troops was only 5,000.
Liu Bei once wrote a letter asking him to live in harmony with Lai Gong, and indirectly mentioned that Lingling Prefect was not someone to be trifled with. He did not take the drunken eldest son seriously. As for Liu Qi's subordinates, he was even more dismissive. However,
Now he was slapped in the head by the other party.
"General Guo, you are really embarrassing me. Eight thousand elites were beaten to pieces by 5,000 of the opponent's men. In the end, the opponent's general escaped without even knowing about it. The man who defeated you is named Gan Ning. He used to be a thief.
Origin..." Wu Ju said coldly.
"The general will be convicted..." Guo Shui blushed, bowed his head and knelt down on one knee.
At this time, the guard came to the door and reported: "Reporting to my lord, Gan Ning is advancing by land and water, and has left Zhongliu and headed south."
"Let's explore again." Wu Ju said at the same time, his heart said so quickly?
After taking Zhongliu County, Gan Ning had thoroughly figured out the details of Wu Ju, who could be described in four words as a strong man on the outside but a capable man on the inside, so he planned to quickly help Lai Gong capture Jiaozhou, and then return to Quanling to return to Lantian as soon as possible.
After Gan Ning identified his identity, he moved forward steadily. At this time, he revealed the identity of Liu Qi, the governor of Jingzhou. On the one hand, he brought pressure to Wu Ju, and on the other hand, he sent news to Ava, Wusdin and other spies.
Wu Ju had a hard time driving Lai Gong away. He didn't want to give up occupying Jiaozhou because of Liu Qi's intervention, so he prepared to compete with Gan Ning.
From the analysis of Tan Ma's news, it can be concluded that Gan Ning's supporting army is mainly composed of infantry and cavalry, with only two thousand naval troops and dozens of warships. Wu Ju transferred 5,000 naval troops and warships from Cangwu to allow him to
He was led by his younger brother Wu Su.
Wu Suqin led the navy to attack Gan Ning. Before setting off, Wu Ju bound the defeated Guo Shui's hands and feet, and kicked him into the rushing river. Then he shouted to everyone: "You need to fight hard to kill the enemy. If there are any slackers,
Just like Guo Shui."
The effect of killing generals to establish prestige is immediate, but without the ability of a prestige general to intimidate people's hearts, Wu Ju had sufficient prestige in Cangwu. Killing Guo Shui not only had no positive effect, but instead put all his generals in danger, which caused Wu Su to
A huge hidden danger.
In late April, Wu Su led the Cangwu navy to attack Gan Ning who was coming from the north. They fought fiercely on the river a hundred miles northwest of Bushan.
Because Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains and has a sparse population, even if there is a war, the scale is small, and the training is far behind other states and counties. The common infantry and cavalry are defeated in the face of the trapped camp, let alone those who are only slightly stronger than the fishermen.
The Cangwu Navy was like children in front of the soldiers who had experienced the Yangtze River water battle.
After testing the long-range bows and arrows for several rounds, Gan Ning took the lead and boarded the enemy ships with swords and shields in hand. He descended from the mountain and captured more than ten warships with a devastating force.
Less than two hours after the water battle started, all the warship formations of the Cangwu navy had been scattered. One after another, the warships surrendered to Gan Ning. Wu Su wanted to imitate Wu Ju's formation and kill the generals to establish his power.
, but ended up being killed by his subordinates who were trying to protect themselves.
After Wu Su's death, all the Cangwu navy surrendered, and the Ganning navy had expanded from 2,000 at the time of the expedition to 5,000.
When Wu Ju heard that Wu Su had died in battle and that all the Cangwu navy had surrendered to Gan Ning, he quickly abandoned Bushan and fled to Cangwu in the east.
Lai Gong recalled the experience of these ten days as if it was a lifetime ago. While everyone was stationed in Bushan County to rest, Wu Ju sent envoys to Bushan to seek peace with Gan Ning.
Gan Ning did not dare to make the decision for Lan Tian, ​​so he stationed his naval forces in Bushan for defense. While letting Xu Shuang lead the camp, he and Lai Gong recovered Anguang, Lingfang, Linchen, Zengshi and other counties, and at the same time sent people back to Quan
Ling asked for instructions.
One night in May, Gan Ning was enjoying the cool air in the Bushan County government office. When he returned home, he felt a dull pain in his shoulder.
The next day Gan Ning did not go to have breakfast. Lieutenant General Liang Tai came to his residence to check on him and found Gan Ning curled up on the bed.
His face was pale, his lips were cyanotic, his teeth were chattering, and after a while, his whole body felt like it was burning again.
Liang Tai's heart tightened. Is General Gan ill? It seems to be quite serious. Mr. Zhongjing is not here now. He hurriedly ordered people to go to the city to find a doctor.
