Just when Cao Jun finally captured Fancheng, in the Dajing Mountain near Xiangyang, Gan Ning stood on the rock, with the wounds on his body wrapped diagonally with cloth strips. He was so exposed to the autumn wind that it seemed that he was not injured at all.
I didn't feel any chill.
Gan Ning likes brocade, thick fur, roasted beef and mutton, mellow and fragrant wine, and the concubine with delicate skin and charming smile...
But here now, there is nothing.
There is no wine, no meat, no beauties with their arms and legs exposed and clamoring to defeat the moon, just a group of foot pickers exuding a stinky and rotten smell.
After being tricked by Cao Jun and Cai Mao, Gan Ning was also wounded. He originally wanted to escape back to Xiangyang, but Xiangyang fell in the blink of an eye. Where was the paper-made Fancheng that Xiangyang could beat with iron? Is this still iron? No.
Are the reed sticks fake?
The previous hard battle had left Gan Ning's armor in pieces, and his hair was stuck together with blood, sweat, and dust. Even if Gan Ning didn't look in the mirror, he knew that his current image was far from majestic, and could even be said to be in a state of embarrassment.
, but Gan Ningyou had a nonchalant smile and stared at the twenty or thirty Jingzhou soldiers under the rocks.
Although most of these Jingzhou soldiers were from Jingzhou, they were Gan Ning's private soldiers. They ate their food and sold their lives for whom they ate.
Gan Ning has not lost his fighting spirit, and his former reputation has not completely collapsed. Therefore, even though Gan Ning is defeated and in a state of embarrassment, his former private soldiers will follow him unless Gan Ning breaks the contract.
To be honest, it doesn't matter to Gan Ning whether Jingzhou's surname is Liu or Cao, because the moment Liu Jingsheng died, Gan Ning's contract with Jingzhou was terminated. As for Liu Cong, Gan Ning has always looked down on him, so don't
He said he still had the idea of renewing his contract. The only thing he was unhappy about was that he lost the water battle. Gan Ning was not convinced. Whenever he thought about it, he always got angry.
"Everyone!"
Gan Ning looked at his men below.
"I was injured earlier, but fortunately you all stayed with me! Here, thank you in advance!"
"I have something to say, now Jingzhou has changed people, and I don't want to serve you anymore... But you all can follow me, so that we can get together and part ways! In the end, I always have to prepare some farewell arrangements for you! But as you all have seen, I am now
I am also empty-handed, hahaha, but..."
"But it doesn't exist here, which doesn't mean it doesn't exist in Xiangyang City! Hahaha, Erdan, you look like a coward. I didn't say you were going to rob the city, I said it was Xiangyang Water Village!"
"I was originally the captain of the Xiangyang Marine Corps. Damn that was originally my territory! My belongings! Now they have been robbed by Cao thieves! I'll take them back again! Share them with you! Is there any problem with this?! I'm here
Let me tell you clearly! Whatever you can get is yours! I don’t want a penny from you! I just vent my anger!"
"Whether you want to eat meat or dirt, it's yourselves! Men who still have balls, just come with me! I say it again, I don't want a penny of gold, silver and wealth, I will share it all with you! After you finish this job, even if it's
It’s time to break up. If you want to follow, you can follow me. If I’m with you, I’ll follow you. If you don’t want to follow, it doesn’t matter. Even if it’s just a payment for you, we will be far away in the future. If we still have a chance to meet, let’s drink and eat meat together! 』
"How about it, do you want to do it or not?!"
Gan Ning's eyes swept over him like an eagle.
Under the rock, there was silence for a moment, and then someone shouted: "Fuck you! If you die, your eggs will fall into the sky and you will not die for tens of millions of years! I want to eat meat and drink wine! Fuck you!"
"Yes! Eat meat! Drink alcohol! Fuck you!"
Arms that were either dirty or bloodstained were raised high, and pairs of eyes that were either muddy or bloodshot showed ferocity...
Outside Xiangyang Water Village.
Gan Ning squatted in the reeds and clicked his tongue twice.
"Damn it, it's all useless... Look, there's not even a fucking checkpoint, tsk tsk, this Jingzhou water village is useless..."
Several fire-headed soldiers staggered out of the water village, carrying two wooden barrels and preparing to fetch water from a point upstream.
Do you need to fetch water for a water village? Of course, a water village is not a fish raft! People are still stationed on the shore, and because they live on the shore, the general waste and excrement...
Therefore, the draft water naturally has to be obtained a little further upstream.
Gan Ning was familiar with this, so he focused on these fire-headed troops.
After a while, several muffled sounds came from the reeds, and they disappeared lightly into the sound of water. After a while, several fire-headed soldiers were seen walking back carrying water, shaking and shaking.
, just sprinkled water all the way to the water village gate.
Gan Ning squinted his eyes and looked at the water village gate that was getting closer and closer.
There seemed to be someone on the wall who stuck out his head to take a look, then muttered something, and then retreated again.
Just as Gan Ning expected, Jingzhou Water Village was actually completely relaxed, as if it was undefended.
This is not surprising at all.
The main generals of Cao's army are all fighting in Fancheng, and only Han Hao is in charge in the city. So Cai Mao and other people who were originally able to manage the navy in Jingzhou would be so stupid that they don't even care about the importance and rush over to take charge of the navy soldiers? Of course.
It is better to stay in the city with less to do than to do more, so of course there are only two or three big cats and kittens left in the water village on the outskirts of the city. Without the chief officer, they start to let themselves go...
What's more, almost all the ships in the water stronghold have been transferred to Fancheng. There are not many soldiers in the water stronghold, and there are not many ships in the water stronghold. Of course, no one will pay attention to it.
After staggering into the camp gate, Gan Ning bumped into a Jingzhou sailor.
The Jingzhou sailor didn't pay attention at all at first. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Gan Ning: "You, you, Nini..."
"A batch of mud moms!"
Gan Ning stepped forward and kicked the Jingzhou sailor over, then threw the bucket and shouted: "I'm back! If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
Although Gan Ning did not have many men, his momentum was not weak at all. The soldiers in the naval camp were either chatting in twos or threes, or taking a nap listlessly, when they suddenly heard Gan Ning's howl as if the earth was shattering.
He screamed, and he was as startled as a groundhog on the spot, his round eyes widened and his neck stretched out in silence.
By the time someone reacted, Gan Ning had already grabbed two swords, opened his bow left and right, slashed all the way, and rushed towards the Chinese army's tent. Gan Ning's private soldiers followed closely behind him, and the few unlucky ones in front were blocked.
Danzi was either chopped over or kicked down, screaming and rolling to the side.
"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba are here! Who is in the army? Come out quickly and fight!"
Gan Ning shouted, becoming more and more excited, and his two swords danced like windmills. Wherever the sharp blades scraped, warm and sticky blood splashed everywhere. For a moment, he was so powerful that no one could stop him.
Gan Ning's private soldiers also understood and shouted together with Gan Ning. Although there were many more people in the navy camp than Gan Ning and others, Gan Ning was originally the chief official here and his power was still there. In addition,
On the one hand, Gan Ning was heard yelling to find the commander in chief of the Chinese army, and the soldiers who came to stop him involuntarily slowed down, becoming somewhat hesitant.
You're not looking for me anyway, so there's no need to rush up to you?
Just like when you are in danger, if you shout for help, no one will often come forward to help. If you specify someone to call an ambulance or the police, they will most likely cooperate...
Taking this opportunity, Gan Ning swung his sword from side to side, and immediately killed the soldiers in front of him, and then rushed to the front of the Chinese army's tent. At this moment, the door curtain of the Chinese army's tent suddenly opened, and the guard Sima Wangtu came out of the tent.
The killer will come out!
Wang Tu was assigned by Xiahou Dun to rush back to Xiangyang with the remaining ships to prepare and assemble the goods. He originally planned to have a good rest today and set off tomorrow, but he never expected that Gan Ning came to kill him, and he suddenly felt an unknown fire in his chest.
It just surged upwards, especially when the Jingzhou sailors in the naval camp hesitated to advance. Gan Ning rushed into the Chinese army's tent in the blink of an eye, which made Wang Tu furious and even made up his mind to wait.
After killing Gan Ning, he wanted to ask Xiahou Dun to order all the Jingzhou soldiers in the water village to be dispatched and take care of them!
"That thief! Take your life!"
Wang Tu shook off his spear and charged straight at Gan Ning.
Wang Tu had a hood on his head and was wearing armor, as well as arm guards and shin guards on his arms and calves. He was completely well-defended, while Gan Ning, on the other hand, had neither a helmet nor armor, a tattered battle robe on his body, and even the gun in his hand.
The sword was also snatched by Gan Ning temporarily. It was not the one he was accustomed to using on a daily basis. The gap between the two men's equipment was not small.
Therefore, Wang Tu was very confident, and there was only one thought left in his mind: kill Gan Ning in front of him!
At that moment, Wang Tu and Gan Ning looked at each other, and at the same time they saw a deep murderous intent flashing in each other's eyes.
Gan Ning kept walking and rushed forward, because Gan Ning knew that offense is a kind of defense. If he fought a war of attrition with Wang Tu, who was fully dressed, Gan Ning would definitely lose. As he approached Wang Tu,
At the same time, Gan Ning waved his left hand, and the sword roared straight towards Wang Tu's face!
Wang Tu quickly tilted his head and flew over with his sword grazing his helmet. When he saw Gan Ning running towards him, he shouted, "Good luck" and shook the spear away. Several spear flowers were shining brightly towards Gan Ning's face.
Prick the chest and abdomen!
Wang Tu's spear had just been thrust out, but he didn't expect that another black thing would hit his face!
"what?!"
Wang Tu, who had just dodged the sword, couldn't help but be startled. He subconsciously deflected the spear and opened the black shadow, but he didn't expect that the gun tip would not feel any force after touching it!
This black shadow turned out to be the dingy rag robe that Gan Ning was originally wearing!
be cheated!
When Wang Tu looked for Gan Ning again, he suddenly couldn't see Gan Ning, as if he had disappeared out of thin air!
Human eyes, like many organs in the human body, were added by the Creator in order to point out higher wisdom, so some things just need to be used. Just like the human intestines are not as capable of storing food as cows, camels, etc.
, human lungs cannot breathe like birds and exchange oxygen, and the heart and other internal organs are inferior. The same is naturally true for the eyes, with a blind spot on the left and right, especially when one is covered.
When you are blind, this blind spot is extremely fatal!
Although Gan Ning did not understand human anatomy and physiology, years of licking blood from knife edges made him self-taught in certain aspects. He first used a sword to deflect Wang Tu's head, and then used the rags on his body to cover Wang Tu's head.
By the time Wang Tu realized something was wrong, half of his line of sight had shrunk into the blind spot of Wang Tu's perspective, and then he slashed out with a sharp knife!
Wang Tu howled, trying to block with his spear, while trying his best to twist and dodge, but Gan Ning's sword skills were so fast and urgent, how could he just hide? Gan Ning's sword was seen coming from the armor on Wang Tu's chest.
Skip it, after cutting out a string of sparks, blood suddenly appears!
If he didn't have armor, Wang Tu would have had his chest and abdomen ripped open immediately with this sword blow!
However, Wang Tu was not much better now. Gan Ning's sword was raised diagonally. Wang Tu's chest was armored, but there was no armor on his head and face. Suddenly, his lower jaw was sliced diagonally by the blade. Bones were visible and his teeth were broken.
Fei, even the eyeball on one cheek was almost brought out! Blood spurted out with a pop, and Wang Tu didn't even have time to scream, and he fell to the sky!
The guard behind Wang Tu was shocked. He raised his sword and gun without hesitation and stepped forward to slash and stab Gan Ning. He snatched Wang Tu and walked back...
After all, Gan Ning was not wearing armor, and he still had old wounds on his body, so he did not dare to be too dissolute, so he had no intention of exchanging injuries with these soldiers. After avoiding counterattacks and cutting down Wang Tu's guards, he looked at
The figures of Wang Tu and others who were fleeing in embarrassment sneered and stood proudly, "Who else dares to fight with a certain person?!"
Cao Jun, Wang Tu and others were defeated, and the remaining Jingzhou soldiers in the water stronghold were all Gan Ning's former subordinates. For a while, there was silence, and no one dared to respond.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gan Ning laughed, and suddenly he saw one of his previous team leaders standing not far away. He pointed his sword and said, "Come here! I want to ask you, how much goods and supplies are left in the stronghold?!"
"This..." Beads of sweat rolled down Qi Ling's forehead, "I don't know... um, but I saw a lot of new equipment on the ship at the back..."
"Lead the way!" Gan Ning casually pulled off a piece of armor from the corpse of Cao Jun who died on the ground. He didn't care about the blood stains and just put it on his body. Then he swayed the blood-stained sword and looked straight back as if no one was watching.
When the ship loaded with goods was moored on the shore, he laughed and said, "This is what God has given us! You guys, take whatever you want! Jingzhou is over! I quit! These goods are
I will give you my final military pay!』
After a while, two or three boats left the water village and went down the river, and standing on the bow was Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, who was laughing with his arms akimbo...
After a while, some people ran out of the water village sporadically, and then more people, and then the fire started to rise, and black smoke billowed...
……(o?▽?)丿……
Gan Ning felt at ease and his thoughts were clear, but Zhuge Liang and Liao Hua had some headaches when they arrived at Wumingwubao.
After Cao Jun attacked the military fortress, Wumingwu Fort, located south of Zhuyang, began to shrink on a large scale, and accelerated and tightened the screening of refugees, disrupted all personnel, reorganized and resettled them, and constantly claimed to report the conspiracy.
Although there are no specific matters to report in most cases, such as rewards for going against the rules, sitting together without reporting, etc., it also brings great trouble to those Cao spies who are mixed in.
After all, it is possible to avoid the sight and inspection of the hussars, but trying to avoid everyone's sight from day to night, among the crowds of refugees, is tantamount to making it difficult to reach the sky.
The spies of Cao's army were disrupted and were in a predicament of being unable to communicate with each other, and they were always looked at with suspicion by the people around them. Some of them wanted to provoke trouble and resist, but they were quickly suppressed.
Some of them fled under the cover of night, while others did not receive instructions and became "refugees" out of ignorance...
In fact, it is relatively easy to distinguish between ordinary soldiers and miserable refugees to a certain extent, mainly in terms of food. Most of Cao Jun's spies carry some dry food to meet unexpected needs, and refugees, in most cases, are naturally what
None. Therefore, as long as you identify carefully, you can still distinguish it, but it will take a lot of time and energy.
And time is something that seems to be insufficient at any time.
Especially ordinary people who have no military concept, even if they are ordered to speed up, they still procrastinate. It is not that these refugees deliberately delay, but the delay caused by relatively disorderly. If they are allowed to move, they will often
Seeing that this person is too tired to walk, wait until this person has rested enough to leave, and the other person is tired again, and three to five hundred people can walk out of the queue of three to five miles...
"This... is an oversight..." Zhuge Liang said with a frown, looking at the refugees around him with a headache.
Zhuge Liang had expected that there would be refugees here, but he did not expect that there would be so many.
This kind of thing has been unavoidable since ancient times. After all, even in later generations who have basically escaped illiteracy, there are still people who can block the door of the high-speed train to indicate whether their husband is coming, and there are still people who grab the steering wheel of a moving bus driver just because
If you miss the platform, you have to get off.
Everyone has their own reasons, and even if someone warns and persuades them repeatedly, they may not listen.
It is easy to infer the behavior of Cao Jun, because Cao Jun’s generals are rational and will choose the most correct and advantageous direction to command and arrange their march and formation, but what about the behavior of these refugees...
Zhuge Liang sighed. These refugees are undoubtedly the sweetest bait, so Cao Jun may come faster than Zhuge Liang expected.
Zhuge Liang's original plan was to set fire to the chasing Cao Jun at the Wumingwu Fort. This would block Cao Jun's pursuit, and on the other hand, it would also prevent the repair of the Wumingwu Fort from being in vain.
It fell into the hands of Cao Jun, but now there are so many refugees here who have not evacuated in time, which disrupted the original plan.
Retreating from Fancheng does not guarantee that Cao Jun will pursue it. After all, Cao Jun has already captured Fancheng, so he can choose not to pursue it. But now that Fancheng is burned, it will be completely different. The remaining people in Fancheng
The number obviously could not satisfy Cao's army, and the refugees at Wumingwubao naturally became an excellent supplementary labor force.
Getting the best of both worlds, many people must be willing to do it. Therefore, the possibility of Cao Jun directly sending troops to pursue has increased a lot... So from this aspect, Zhuge Liang's plan was originally interlocking, but if according to
The original plan was to set up an ambush at Wumingwu Fort. Even if Cao Jun was successfully ambushed, it would mean that a large number of refugees would be burned to death by fire, if not by swords and guns!
what to do?
This unexpected situation has become an urgent problem for Zhuge Liang and Liao Hua to solve. Before Zhuge Liang and Liao Hua thought about how to operate, soldiers from a distance came to report eagerly and nervously, saying that they were responsible for cutting off the rear.
Xu Yu was defeated by Cao Jun and returned home seriously injured!
