Chapter 241: Overthrow the Army (Part 2)

"Wait a minute." Gan Ning quickly made a decision.

He found that his subordinates showed a look of doubt in an instant, so he explained: "If you want to retreat, it is best to wait until Lei Yuan's attention is attracted by the central army; if you want to fight back, Lei Yuan's troops should be a little weak. Pang Le now has two or three hundred people guarding the camp, and the village wall is also solid. I let him hold on for a moment no matter how. So, we only need to wait... Well, wait for a moment. After a half moment, we will act."

The subordinates responded one after another and went to notify their subordinates.

Someone muttered: "Pang Le, I'm afraid he's going to die."

But no one responded.

It’s not that Pang Le has no popularity. When Chen Mi, Lou Fa, Pang Le, and Li Yi were in Yizhou, some of them were Liu Zhang’s generals, and some were Zhao Wei’s subordinates, and some were attacking each other. But in the past few years, they have become stray dogs one after another. What else can I care about? Everyone is a brother in robe!

However, everyone is a man with blood on the blade; over the years, he has passed the time when he should be happy, and he will die when he should be dead. On the battlefield, he will die if he dies. Although Pang Le is certainly unable to escape today's situation, others may follow one after another.

Gan Ning suddenly felt that this idea was wrong. He said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. If you beat Lei Yuan, you can get Pang Le out."

The subordinates nodded quickly: "Yes! Yes!"

Soon, nearly a thousand elite troops in the small camp were all ready. The soldiers on the outside were carefully lurking on the edge of the camp, covering their bodies with long grass, and trying their best to explore the battle process of the central army camp. The soldiers in the inner circle held their swords and guns tightly, held their breath and listened with their ears.

Gan Ning thought about it and climbed up to the tower again. Instead of standing and watching, he lay down carefully, even his chin was pressed against the floor, only half of his head and eyes were exposed.

He saw Lei Yuan leading his men to gallop in the Central Military Camp.

Because he had to wait for the infantry brigade to follow, Lei Yuan did not attack immediately, but ran in front of the camp, and suddenly went to the left and then to the right, trying to find the weakness of the defenders. This situation moved Gan Ning a little. He knew that Pang Le must have pushed all his troops forward to the outside of the camp to show that there were heavy troops in the camp.

Sometimes these hundreds of cavalrymen were circling in groups, rushing arrows to the guards who had exposed their bodies, and sometimes gathered together, posing as a fierce attack. Thousands of iron hooves rush over the ground, stirring up dust in the sky.

"I'm a good person!" Gan Ning muttered.

He had only contacted this large-scale cavalry mobilization when fighting Cao Ren. At that time, Cao Ren used dozens of heroic cavalry to break through the encirclement and rescued his trapped subordinates; even Gan Ning had to secretly admire the heroic posture of the cavalry that was rampant. Now Lei Xuzhi's cavalry is more than Cao Ren led in that battle. His well-trained and his running posture of scattering clouds and birds seem to be not inferior...

Needless to say, no one can resist such cavalry teams fighting back and forth.

Is it only possible to retreat, or escape?

At this time, the night gradually faded, and a little white fish was already appearing in the east. Under the blazing fire among the reed marsh, the floating dust was like red as blood.

Behind the rear, the infantrymen of the Lei family of Lujiang approached step by step. The closer they got, the more they were, the more they were, gradually forming three teams arranged in the shape of the first two and the second one, and the finished shape. Each team formed a dense square array with crossbows, spears and swords and shields. This was about to launch a forced assault.

"General! General!" someone shouted downstairs.

Gan Ning was jumped and he kept his crawling posture and turned around: "What's the name? Speak in a low voice!"

The subordinate stepped up the wooden ladder a few steps and lowered his voice: "Let's go quickly! Look at Lei Xuzhi's posture, they are all elite soldiers! Pang Le's ability will not last a moment. Li Yi will be about to disintegrate. By then, the Jingzhou army gathers together layer by layer and we are all finished!"

Gan Ning nodded: "What about?"

The subordinates replied inexplicably: "What?"

"Then what? We retreat now, flee far away, and watch the whole war fail?" Gan Ning sighed: "What will happen after the failure? Have you ever thought about it?"

"General, what did you say?" his subordinates were a little anxious.

Gan Ning suddenly poked out his arm and grabbed the neck of the subordinate. The muscles on his thick arm bulged violently, and he actually lifted the whole strong man, with his armor and his arms.

He stared at his subordinates' terrified face and said word by word: "Think clearly. After losing this battle, Wu Hou will have no place to gain a foothold in Jingzhou! There will be no chance to attack Shu! We will never go back to Yizhou again! Therefore, it is best not to lose this battle! Grandma's, she has already lost more than half, but I still want to try it!"

Speaking of the last few sentences, his eyes were about to burst into blood, and his throat was hoarse and broken, but every word was said so clearly.

"Did you understand?" he asked in a low voice.

The subordinate's face fluttered purple and he nodded repeatedly.

"Do you want to go back to Yizhou?"

The subordinates continued to nod.

Gan Ning let go of his hands, let his feet go to the ground, and then patted his shoulder: "Tell me brothers, those who don't want to fight with me will not go later. Don't worry, if you win, I will pretend that this has not happened."

What if the next battle fails? The subordinate looked up at Gan Ning in a little confused, and finally turned around and left without asking.

Gan Ning crawled back to the original place and continued to observe the battlefield.

He thought of it, but unfortunately Cheng Pu and Lu Meng didn't know where they went. If they were there, they would be more sure... No, I just heard a team of defeated soldiers shouting, "Mr. Cheng is dead." It seems that Cheng Demou's luck is a little bad.

As for Lu Meng, this guy is smart. He thought he would have a way to save his life and would not die in the chaos. Maybe he had already escaped far away. Although Gan Ning was not in harmony with him, he hoped that he would not have any trouble. Otherwise, losing a heavy general in addition to Zhou Tai would be an unbearable loss for the Wuhou, which would be enough to shake the power of the Eastern Wu in Jingzhou. In that case, even if he regained a little of the scene, it would be useless.

All the generals were too busy to take care of such a crisis. Gan Ning had no time to think about the situation of his colleagues and once again focused his attention on the battlefield ahead.

But his judgment on the current situation of the two was really accurate.

After Lu Meng left the Central Army camp, he kept heading west without delay. He had already run out of the camp area before the soldiers of the camp responded. He then found a hidden pond among the reeds and lurked.

He slapped a few reed poles under his body, sat and rested, and explained to his entourages: "Although Gan Xingba is a rough man, he knows the pros and cons and knows advance and retreat. If he is sure that the defeat is out of control, he will definitely retreat decisively. If he is still persisting, he feels that there is a chance to reverse the situation. We might as well see the situation here. If the situation is not right, we will set off from here, swim to Bailizhou, and then find a boat to leave."

Of course he knew that his family still had thousands of troops stationed in Lexiang, waiting for him to return to command. But the times really couldn't control so much.

The entourages said one after another: "The general is wise, and what he says is very true."

The group hid among the reeds and looked out.

Immediately afterwards, they saw that the camp in the west of the camp was violently charged by the Lujiang Lei family cavalry. There were about two thousand soldiers guarding there, and hundreds of them died in an instant. The soldiers had already had a low morale, and the rest could not hold on immediately, and large numbers of them surrendered. Only one officer looked like an elite team and fought and retreated. Lu Meng looked carefully from a distance and recognized that he was Gan Ning's general Li Yi, and he couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, the sky was white and it was about to be bright.

Lu Meng gradually felt unsafe. He said to his subordinates: "I'm afraid Gan Xingba is not reliable anymore, let's walk deep into the reeds for a while."

A subordinate suddenly reminded him: "General, the battle seems to be over. Look!"

Lu Meng returned to his original position and looked apart from the reeds. He found that the subordinates were right. It seemed that everyone, whether it was Wu or Jingzhou, had both relaxed and confused expressions. Most of them put down their swords and guns. Although they were still vigilant between them, they no longer had the murderous aura of life and death.

"What's going on?" Lu Meng was confused.

Just a moment ago, Lei Yuan, who was about to launch a fierce attack on the Wu people's Central Army base camp, was interrupted, also asked the same question sternly: "What's going on? Can military and national affairs be so scattered?"

The person standing in front of Lei Yuan was his acquaintance Huo Jun, with several followers and spare horses behind him. The knights were covered in sweat and stains on their faces, and it was obvious that they had traveled a very long road overnight.

Huo Jun grinned, took off the leather bag behind him, and took out a military order and a bamboo slip from it. He rode his horse forward a few steps and presented it to Lei Yuan with both hands: "Continue, there is currently the military order of General Zuo, and the letter written by General Zuo himself is written here."

When Lei Yuan took these two tokens, Huo Jun whispered a little further away. There, a young messenger dressed as a Wu general was waving a flag and shouting, ordering all Wu soldiers to stop fighting and move closer to his position: "That man is Ling Tong, the captain of Chenglie of Jiangdong, who is here to carry the military order of the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu and General Fenwei's letters written by himself."

Lei Yuan sneered and said to Ren Hui sideways: "You lead the cavalry team to supervise and tell all the Wu people that they must put down their swords and guns, otherwise they will be killed without any mercy!"

"Yes!" Ren Hui hurried away.

Lei Yuan then put away the order. When he was about to unfold the bamboo slips, he couldn't help asking: "Zhong Miao, this fact is a bit ridiculous... The two sides have fought to this extent, so they will stop fighting? What do you think about this?"
