Chen Gong's intention is very obvious. It is the best way not to get entangled with Cao Peng and fight fiercely, but to decide quickly.
Cao Peng can afford it, but he can't afford it... The significance of conquering Quyang and occupying Haixi is not only the millions of grains and grass and cutting off Cao Peng's arm, but also a more important intention, that is
Chen Deng was so frightened in Guangling that he cowered in Guangling and did not dare to move rashly.
As long as Quyang is conquered, the soldiers and horses outside the city will be stragglers.
Killing Cao Peng will cut off Deng Ji's arm, and Haixi can take it down in one fell swoop without any effort.
Therefore, Chen Gong ignored the commotion in the rear camp at all. In his opinion, there were not many soldiers and horses to be dispatched on the Haixi side. There were two thousand people, and one Quyang accounted for at least three-quarters. How many soldiers were there outside the city?
Horses, as can be imagined, the total number does not exceed five hundred.
With only 500 people, you want to disperse 8,000 soldiers and horses?
Not everyone in this world is Marquis Lu Wen, and Zhang Wenyuan is not everywhere in the streets.
Chen Gong is convinced that the nature of this group of troops outside the city is more of a harassment than an assault. The more this happens, the more it shows that Quyang is in danger.
Lu Ji took the initiative to ask for a job, and Chen Gong certainly would not refuse.
In fact, he didn't like Lu Ji either. This kid was of Hu people's blood, and he was quite fierce in fighting, but... he was too ambitious! Lu Ji's ambition could be hidden from Lu Bu, but not from Chen Gong. But Chen Gong didn't
He would interfere in Lu Bu's family affairs and keep silent most of the time. Chen Gong didn't want to bring Lu Ji over this time to attack Quyang Haixi. But since Lu Bu arranged it, he had to obey...
In Chen Gong's eyes, Lu Ji was the kind of reckless man who failed to accomplish anything but failed more than he did.
There is no use staying in front of the formation, so letting him sit in the rear is also a good choice. So, after Lu Ji asked for orders, Chen Gong nodded in agreement.
Lu Ji led his 800 men and quickly rushed to the rear army.
Chen Gongze continued to supervise the battle and ordered the soldiers to continue to attack Quyang County...
For a time, under Quyang City, blood flowed like a river!
Chen Gong's idea is correct.
There are many examples in this world of defeating more with less and riding through the barrier alone. In the past, the overlord of Chu burned the cauldron and destroyed the boat. Julu defeated the Qin army Wang Li. This is an example. But how many overlords of Chu can there be in this world? Since the Han Dynasty,
, four hundred years of vicissitudes, military tactics have also been improved a lot. In Chen Gong's view, the example of the Overlord of Chu is basically unrepeatable. In today's world, I am afraid that the Marquis of Wen, Lu Bu, can rely on the red rabbit and the wind beast on his crotch.
, the painted pole and halberd in the palm can do this. It is difficult for others to ride through the level alone...
However, Chen Gong would never have thought that in the small Haixi County, there could not help but be a first-class master like Pan Zhang, and even a Gan Xingba.
As the war situation developed, the Xiapi Army's rear army became obviously loose.
In particular, Chen Gong directed the central army to press forward, causing a small gap between the rear army and the central army.
Gan Ning had read the art of war, and Deng Zhi had a good eye for it. So the two made a decisive decision. Deng Zhi would lead 200 men to support the troops outside, while Gan Ning would lead 186 cavalry to attack Xia Pi's army. It was getting dark.
, the line of sight on the plain also became blurred.
Everyone's attention was focused on the small Quyang City at this moment.
Gan Ning took advantage of the sky to appear behind Xia Pi's army. When he was still about a hundred meters away, Gan Ning suddenly shook the reins and galloped forward. The white iron hooves rustled in the night, and in the night wind, the snow-white
The horse's mane fluttered in the wind like a white cloud. Carrying Gan Ning, he rushed to the enemy's formation in the blink of an eye. When there were still dozens of steps left, the Xiapi army finally realized that something was wrong.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
Some soldiers roared.
Before Xia Pi's army could open their bows and fire arrows, Zhao Yebai was charging rapidly and suddenly increased his speed again.
Like a flash of lightning sticking to the ground, he arrived in front of the Xiapi Army in the blink of an eye. Gan Ning held the dragon bird in his hand and drew a strangely bright arc of light. The knife divided yin and yang. In an instant, he flipped the edge, and two puffs of blood mist spurted out. Gan Ning
He had broken into the Xiapi army. His swords and horses were as fast as a gust of wind, killing Xiapi soldiers wherever they passed. The 186 cavalry followed Gan Ning and broke into the Xiapi army.
In order to strengthen the impact of this raiding cavalry army, Cao Peng allocated all the long swords in Quyang's arsenal to Gan Ning's troops.
War horses galloped past, and a sword flashed coldly.
The Xiapi army was in chaos, and Gan Ning fought his way through, as if he was in a deserted area.
The two cavalrymen rushed forward on horseback, trying to block Gan Ning's way. However, Gan Ning remained unhurried. Zhao Yebai suddenly stopped suddenly, and then suddenly broke out. Between this stop and the movement, the cavalrymen
Gan Ning suddenly panicked. Gan Ning raised his sword and chopped off one of the generals under his horse. The other general was kicked by Zhao Yebai on the tibia of the horse at the moment when the two horses faced each other.
.
With a click, the war horse's tibia was broken, and the rider was thrown away.
The knight was knocked dizzy, and when he got up from the ground, he saw a knight rushing towards him, and knocked him away with a loud bang, only breaking his bones and tendons.
When Lu Ji arrived with his troops, the Xiapi rear army was already in chaos.
From a distance, he saw Gan Ning, dressed in brocade robes, charging through the rebellious army with a broadsword in his hand.
The light of the night was like cutting through the waves, and Xiapi's army fled. Lu Ji couldn't help but feel furious in his heart...
"Don't panic, someone is here!"
As he spoke, Lu Ji rode his horse, danced his halberd, and rushed towards Gan Ning.
While charging, he shouted sternly: "Thieves, don't be so arrogant, your young master is here."
People, sometimes feeling too good doesn't seem to be a good thing.
Lu Ji belongs to the type who feels good about himself. Ever since he became his father, Lu Ji has followed Lu Bu. It can be said that he has conquered east and west, and also made great military exploits. He has a horse on his hip and a big halberd in his palm. Lu Ji thinks that
Under Lu Bu's tent, besides Zhang Liao, he was undoubtedly the second most powerful man. How could he endure seeing Gan Ning wreaking havoc in the army? His bloodline as a barbarian made him feel arrogant in his bones.
He didn't take it easy when he got off his horse. He waved his big halberd with one hand, like the wind, and arrived in front of Gan Ning...
Gan Ning's hand was wrapped in a white cloth strip, but it was stained red with blood.
Seeing someone blocking his way, he grinned, revealing his white teeth, as ferocious as a devouring beast.
"Little baby, you are seeking death!"
Facing the big halberd struck by Lu Ji, Gan Ning showed no fear.
He rode forward to meet him, swung his sword in the air, and struck the small halberd of the big halberd with a clang.
Lu Ji felt his arm tremble, and the halberd flew away. However, he did not panic. Following the force of the halberd swinging away, he turned it around in his hand and struck Gan Ning with his backhand. Gan Ning raised his hand.
The swords met each other, and after breaking open the halberd, the two horses faced each other. He stepped on the stirrups with both feet, suddenly stood up, held the sword in both hands, and struck Lu Ji fiercely...
The advantages of stirrups are most vividly highlighted at this moment.
Lu Ji's halberd is about three and eight meters long, close to four meters. Logically speaking, when fighting on horseback, the weapon commander can have an advantage...
According to the martial arts saying of later generations: one inch long, one inch strong.
Gan Ning's Longque sword was only nine feet long, almost half shorter than the spurge.
There is also a saying in the ordnance manual that "one inch is short, every inch is dangerous". With the help of Zhao Yebai's speed, Gan Ning rushed into the middle palace and killed him when it was his turn.
The stirrup can increase the force, making Gan Ning's sword fall with a sound of wind and thunder.
Lu Ji also didn't expect Gan Ning's sword and horse to be so fast. Originally, the distance between the two was not enough for Gan Ning to attack, but with the advantage of the stirrups, Gan Ning suddenly grew taller, catching Lu Ji off guard. In a hurry,
Lu Ji held the halberd with both hands, and pressed the iron door latch with the horizontal halberd to block it. Hearing a loud clang, the horse Xiyu under Lu Ji's crotch hissed violently, his front hoof gave way, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
How powerful is the power of Gan Ning's sword!
According to him, if I strike with a sword on a horse, I have a force of six hundred kilograms, so with the stirrup, I can exert a force of a thousand kilograms...
Cao Peng did not promote stirrups and saddles immediately.
In fact, he does not have many cavalry troops. It is very rare to be able to gather nearly 400 horses this time. Previously, among the many people around him, only Zhao Yebai was equipped with saddles and stirrups. Other than that,
, that is, the mounts of Xia Houlan, Pan Zhang, Zhou Cang and Deng Fan were equipped with this kind of equipment. Gan Ning had stirrups to draw on his strength, a saddle to strengthen his body, and horseshoes to protect his horse.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Three Treasures.
Lu Ji blocked it in a hurry, relying entirely on the power of his legs.
After the war horse fell, Lu Ji rolled on the ground several meters away. When he stood up again, he broke out in a cold sweat.
How can this guy be so powerful?
The power of this sword is not inferior to that of my father...
Lu Ji was in shock, but Gan Ning would not let him go. He spurred his horse and rushed towards Lu Ji. Fortunately, all the horsemen under Lu Ji's command rushed up and surrounded Gan Ning. What a Gan Ning, facing dozens of people.
Despite the siege, he had no fear. He grabbed a spear, a spear in his left hand, and a knife in his right hand. The swords and spears flew around, and only one person was killed with blood and flesh flying everywhere. It was so tragic. Lu Ji was really frightened this time!
Growing up, I have seen many brave generals.
In his impression, it seemed that only people like Dian Wei could compare with the general in front of him.
Damn it, what kind of people are hiding in Haixi County? He grabbed an ownerless war horse, turned around and left.
In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning picked off three generals with his spear and chopped four of them with his sword. All the cavalry generals were so frightened that they fled.
He led his men and continued to attack the Chinese army, killing the Pi army and retreating continuously.
At this moment, Cao Xing arrived with his troops.
From a distance, he raised his hand and fired an arrow, forcing Gan Ning back.
Chen Gong did not notice this situation at first, and was directing his soldiers to attack Quyang with all his strength. The small colonel beside him pulled his lapel and shouted: "Military advisor, the enemy soldiers have broken through the rear formation."
"ah?"
It was only then that Chen Gong realized that the situation was not good.
In just the blink of an eye, the enemy troops broke through the rear line?
"Where is the Young Master?"
"Shao Junhou was defeated by the enemy general and fled... They are now attacking the Chinese army."
"Ahhhh..."
Chen Gong was furious on the horse. Seeing that Xia Pi's army had already attacked the head of Quyang City, he did not expect that such a thing would happen.
"Follow me and attack immediately!"
The sound of trombones sounded in the air, and the Xiapi army immediately changed from the rear to the front.
Chen Gong drove up and saw Gan Ning in the crowd from a distance, like an evil god, beating his troops back steadily. Even Cao Xing came, but he could only withstand Gan Ning's offensive. However,
Chen Gong could see that under Gan Ning's stormy attack, Cao Xing was blocked from the left and from the right, and was in a desperate state.
"Catch him!"
Chen Gong shouted sharply.
In an instant, hundreds of soldiers swarmed forward, trying to trap Gan Ning and others.
When Gan Ning saw that the enemy army was strong, he did not want to fight. He immediately struck out with three swords, and after forcing Cao Xing and others back, he turned his horse around, turned around and left.
"My sons, follow me and retreat!"
Gan Ning roared loudly and led his cavalry to break out.
It was another bloody battle. Cao Xing and others could only chase Gan Ning hard, but they were still unable to intercept Gan Ning.
"Who is this beast?"
Chen Gong panicked and asked loudly.
But no one around him knew the origin of Gan Ning.
At the same time, Deng Zhi led 200 cavalry into the army. After joining Gan Ning, he fought his way out of the tight encirclement of Xiapi Army.
"Chen Gongtai, even if you are like this...you dare to offend the power of my young master?"
Gan Ning's laughter echoed across the sky.
More than three hundred riders rode away, leaving Chen Gong stunned.
Cao Xing came to Chen Gong's carriage angrily, "Military advisor, who is that guy? When did Haixi have such a fierce general?"
Chen Gong shook his head and smiled bitterly without saying a word.
"What's wrong with this animal?"
Is this guy really powerful?
Cao Xing said: "If you don't come personally from the king, how can you be afraid that no one can win?"
"How does it compare to Wenyuan?"
"Wen Yuan is afraid but there is nothing he can do..."
After hearing Cao Xing's words, Chen Gong secretly thought: How can there be such a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Haixi County?
"Military advisor, are you still going to attack the city?"
It was completely dark, and fires were lit on the battlefield, which reflected the Quyang City in the distance with an eerie aura. The soldiers who had just boarded the city were driven back again. Chen Gong glanced around, and the soldiers
The soldiers were all exhausted, and they all showed a look of fear.
Little Quyang, I attacked wildly for a day, but I couldn't break it!
Now that Gan Ning was rushing into the camp again, morale was suddenly low.
Chen Gong sighed, waved his hand, and weakly ordered: "Retreat the troops!"
If we continue to fight, it will only increase the number of deaths. I have calculated everything, but I did not expect that there are such fierce generals in Haixi...
The gong sounded, and the Xiapi army retreated like a tide. On the opposite side of Quyang City, there were bursts of cheers, and vaguely, the figures of the soldiers on the city could be seen shaking.
"One wrong step, one wrong step, Shu Long... We lost our best chance to break the city."
Cao Xing had a complicated look on his face and remained silent.
After a while, he whispered: "Even if Cao Youxue has such a strong general, he can't even hope to save the defeat... Let's see how long he can last!"
How long can it last?
Chen Gong had a vague hunch in his heart: It's not a question of how long they can last, but how much time we have...
He stood on the car, turned around and looked towards the top of Quyang City.
For the first time, Chen Gong felt regretful. He thought he had not underestimated Haixi County, but now it seems that he still underestimated Haixi County!
There is a saying in the art of war: Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle.
Chen Gong was defeated in this battle because he knew himself but did not know the enemy... Perhaps, it was a huge mistake to rashly raise troops to conquer Haixi from the beginning!
On the tower of Quyang City, the thin figure still stood as straight as a javelin.
Chen Gong took a deep breath, pointed the sword in his hand at the figure, and then made a move to slash in the air.
Cao Youxue, this is just the beginning, not the end yet!
