Chapter 66: Point of No Return

Fancheng was lost, and he had no shame to go to Xiangyang again. After much thought, Huang Zu had no choice but to go to Yanshan Mountain, where he could hide for a while and test Liu Biao's tone before making plans. In desperation, Huang Zu turned around and crossed Xiangshui, diving in headfirst.

Yanshan takes shelter temporarily.

Gan Ning tried his best to resist Sun Jian's attack, but was outnumbered. Seeing that Huang Zu had escaped, Gan Ning led his remaining brothers No. 100 and retreated. He was different from Huang Zu. He had long thought that Fancheng could not be saved, so he

He crossed Xiangshui directly and went up the river to Xiangyang. After finding out where Huang Zu was going, he also headed to Yanshan Mountain.

A large group of people entered Yanshan Mountain, and Long Fei and others acted more cautiously. Fortunately, Huang Zu set up camp halfway up the mountain and did not go to the top of the mountain. Long Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "As soon as Huang Zu comes, it will be here soon."

It's going to be lively, just watch! Sun Jian must kill Huang Zu!"

Gan Ning returned to Yanshan, feeling even more depressed. This time he saved Huang Zu's life. But instead of rewarding Huang Zu, Huang Zu blamed Gan Ning for the defeat, saying that Gan Ning did not carry out his plan seriously.

This plan gave Sun Jian an opportunity to take advantage of him. Furthermore, Gan Ning had a cholera attack on his army before he went on the expedition, causing almost all of his army to be destroyed. Other colleagues even sneered at him, calling him a Jinfan thief.

Gan Ning couldn't bear it anymore. His subordinate Pan Zhang quietly said to him: "Brother, we saved my life, but he still blamed us for the defeat. I don't think he can stay here!"

"Yes! The third child is right!" Zhou Tai said loudly: "This bird governor is nothing. Instead of living like this, it would be better for the four of us brothers to have a great time on the Yangtze River!"

Pan Zhang said: "Yes, brother, Liu Biao does not look down on us at all like the legend says, so why do we still work for him? We might as well go to Sun Jian or Yuan Shu!"

Gan Ning also wanted to retreat. After hearing what Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai said, he turned to look at Jiang Qin who was silent and said, "Fourth brother, what do you think?"

Jiang Qin was the youngest among the four, but he was recognized as a wise man. These four were originally water thieves on the Yangtze River. Gan Ning took them under his command one by one and became sworn brothers. The four of them regarded Gan Ning as their eldest brother.

Zhou Tai ranked second, Pan Zhang ranked third, and Jiang Qin ranked fourth. Each of the four had their own strengths. Gan Ning was bold in his work, meticulous in thinking, and superb in martial arts. Zhou Tai was like a blazing fire and was extremely strong. One person could carry a light boat.

Pan Zhang was very good at water and could swim four to five miles underwater in one breath. Jiang Qin had many ideas and was very accurate in judging people. He never went wrong in what he spotted. There were also 800 brothers under the four men, all of whom were heroes.

, absolutely loyal to the four of them.

Jiang Qin shook his head: "Sun Jian is now in trouble both internally and externally. Even if he takes Fancheng, he will only be able to survive temporarily, and Yuan Shu is a withered bone in the grave. This person has great ambitions, but he is jealous of talents and talents. He must not go!"

"What should we do? Stay here?" Zhou Tai sat down: "This place is too popular! I think we should go back and continue our business and wait for a better time!"

"Gan Sima! Gan Sima!" Gan Ning knew that this was Huang Zu's bodyguard. He hurried in and said anxiously: "Gan Sima! The prefect has invited you to go to the big tent to discuss matters. Sun Jian is chasing you!"

Sun Jian captured Fancheng and robbed Huang Zu's supplies of food and grass. He was very happy. He ordered to reward the three armies. During the meal, spies came to report that Huang Zu did not go to Xiangyang, but retreated to Yanshan. Sun Jian laughed loudly: "Huang Zu

I don’t know how to live or die, but I still dare to stay outside the city. After my brothers have finished eating, we will attack Yanshan and capture Huang Zu!"

"good……!"

Huang Zu had just taken up his position when there was movement in Fancheng. Sun Jian personally led an army of 20,000 to attack Yanshan, leaving only Cheng Pu's 3,000 troops to guard Fancheng. Huang Zu was now frightened by Sun Jian and did not dare to

The generals also suggested that Huang Zu continue to retreat and it would be better to return to Jiangxia. Huang Zu was very happy: "We are in the west, Sun Jian is in the east, and there is Xiangyang in the south. Let's go back to Jiangxia. You said we should go north.

Or go west?"

The man stopped talking. Someone else suggested sending someone to Xiangyang for help. Huang Zu went to do it immediately. At the same time, he invited Gan Ning to come. Although Huang Zu didn't like Gan Ning, he still admired Gan Ning's bravery. To be honest, today

If Gan Ning had not taken the initiative to cut off the rear, his troops would not have been able to retreat to Yanshan. As soon as Gan Ning entered the tent, Huang Zu immediately came forward and grabbed Gan Ning's hand: "Gan Sima, now Sun Jian is here again.

How do you think we should deal with it?"

Pan Zhang glanced at the generals in the big tent: "We are all thieves, so what do we know about fighting! The whole army was almost destroyed last time, this time I listen to the generals and prefects!"

"Yes!" Zhou Tai also followed: "My eldest brother is a Sima! You can fight as you say! We listen to you!"

"No nonsense!"

"Hahaha..." Huang Zu forced a smile and said, "You two are joking. I only offended Gan Sima by listening to the villain's words. As long as you all work together to defeat Sun Jian, I guarantee that everyone will be promoted to general!"

"General, there is no need!" Gan Ning said: "Sun Jian is coming fiercely, and our army has lost morale. We cannot fight hard with him. We can send people to build more defenses on the Yanshan Mountain and send small groups of soldiers to harass them. As long as Sun Jian attacks

If we don’t come up, we still have a chance!”

Huang Zu nodded, put down Gan Ning's hand, turned around and glared at the group of civil servants and generals in the tent: "Have you heard this? Why don't you do what General Gan said quickly? Go quickly!"

Since ancient times, whether it was the cold weapon age or today's gun age, attacking from the bottom up has been very laborious. Firstly, Yanshan Mountain is high and densely forested, which is not conducive to cavalry charges. Secondly, the slope is relatively steep, so it is difficult to climb on foot.

There were some difficulties. According to Gan Ning's instructions, more rolling logs were placed on Yanshan, and the problem could be solved with a gentle push. Sun Jian led his troops to charge three or four times but were defeated. Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Jian was very annoyed and ordered another charge.

Once, if that didn't work, they would burn the mountain. Sun Jianjun shouted and ran up the mountain again. The Jingzhou soldiers still fought back unhurriedly, throwing huge pieces of wood and rocks down the mountain.

Long Fei saw it clearly and was a little surprised: "In the morning, Huang Zu was still a fool. How come he became smarter in the afternoon and knew how to use the terrain to deal with Sun Jian? Let's go and see who is in command!"

The four men quietly reached the mountainside and saw Huang Zu's flag flying high on the top of the Chinese army's tent. A breeze blew through and a dozen generals were drinking and chatting with Huang Zu. On the battlefield ahead, a small flag was

So insignificant, he didn't even have an official name. Huang Zhong looked carefully and pointed at Gan Ning: "It turns out to be him! Please see, my lord, that man's name is Gan Ning!"

Huang Zhong told Long Fei about Gan Ning's situation and his views on Gan Ning. When he heard Gan Ning's name, Long Fei was excited. This is a treasure. Gan Ning is the main general of Soochow. If he can get it

Of course, being under his own command would make him even more powerful. Thinking of this, Long Fei was thinking about how to lure Gan Ning over.

Sun Jian's soldiers had climbed up the mountainside. Although Gan Ning and his men had the advantage of the terrain, their time was too short and they were not fully prepared for defense. Sun Jian sent two groups of troops to outflank him. After Gan Ning's rolling logs and thunder stones were used up,

, Sun Jian finally climbed up the mountainside: "Kill! Leave no one alive, kill them all for me!"

The two armies started a hand-to-hand battle. Gan Ning led the Jingzhou soldiers to resist with all their strength. Although he and his men were brave, the others were not of the same mind as him. When they saw Sun Jian coming, some turned around and ran away. A little Sima stopped him at all.

The generals could not escape.

Sun Jian slashed hard at Gan Ning, and Gan Ning raised his sword to meet him. Gan Ning was a businessman on the river, and the desperate efforts on the bank were no match for Sun Jian. There were dangers several times. Just when Sun Jian was about to slash Gan Ning's hand.

At that moment, an arrow flew by from nowhere and shot directly into Sun Jian's chest. A five-inch long arrow tip was exposed on his back.

Sun Jian suddenly fell to the ground, and Gan Ning had no opponent. Before he could figure out what was going on, Pan Zhang immediately shouted: "Sun Jian is dead! Sun Jian has been shot to death!" Huang Zu's soldiers just wanted to retreat, but suddenly they heard

He couldn't help but be shocked by the shouts. Sun Jian's army was killing happily and was fighting at the critical moment, but when he heard the news of Sun Jian's death in battle, he was stunned on the spot.

Long Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong jumped up from their hiding place and rushed to Sun Jian's side. Whether it was Sun Jian's army or Huang Zu's army, anyone who dared to get close to Sun Jian's body was chopped down. Long Fei quickly

After groping back and forth on Sun Jian's body, he found a square and hard object in a bag on his waist. Opening the mouth of the bag, a dragon button appeared in front of him. Long Fei was overjoyed and exchanged the real jade seal for a fake one.

, blew a whistle, and the four people quickly headed back up the mountain.

All this happened in front of Gan Ning's eyes. He thought it was Sun Jian's men who came to snatch the body. As he was about to step forward, Zhao Yun forced him back with a gun. Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Jiang Qin and others also rushed up and were captured by Dian.

Wei and Huang Zhong stopped him. They thought they were masters, but they couldn't stand up to these people. When Long Fei finished doing his own things and left, he looked back at Gan Ning and said with a smile: "What if

If you need anything, come to Chang'an and find me, my name is Long Fei!"

The four people came and left quickly. By the time Sun Ce, Huang Gai, and Han Dang received the news and rushed here, Gan Ning had already ordered people to take away Sun Jian's body. Sun Ce was furious and led

The army made a fierce attack. The Jingzhou soldiers originally wanted to retreat, but they ran away after being attacked. When they broke into Huang Zu's tent, Sun Ce hacked and killed them randomly. If Huang Gai and Han Dang hadn't hugged him desperately, Huang Zu would have

Died by Sun Ce's sword.

The Battle of Yanshan ended in just one afternoon. The battle was brutal. In order to take revenge, Sun Jian's army did not leave any prisoners and killed them all. Of the 50,000 Huang Zu's troops, less than 8,000 fled back to Xiangyang with Gan Ning. Jiangxia

The prefect Huang Zu was captured, and the rest of the generals were killed or injured, and 10 out of 10 were missing. However, not everything was found in Jingzhou, at least there was Sun Jian's body. Gan Ning did not say that Sun Jian was not killed by them, as long as Sun Jian's body was found

The corpse will be a bargaining chip.
