With Wang Lang's order, the city was filled with arrows, and the city gate was crowded with soldiers who wanted to enter the city. No one was wary that the city would shoot arrows at him, leaving a lot of corpses under the city. , The screams, curses, and crying sounded together,
Yu Fan was also above the city. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head.
But he heard someone next to him say: "Master Yu is dissatisfied,"
Yu Fan was shocked when he heard the words. When he turned to look, he recognized that he was from Yuyao in his county, whose surname was Dong Mingxi. Now the army is a small school. The Dong family and the Yu family have always been good friends, and Yu Fan couldn’t help but feel relieved. Said: "Wang Taishou is determined to go his own way, and now he is so cruel to his own soldiers, this city must not be guarded, it will be broken sooner or later,"
Dong Xi glanced around and saw that Yu turned his confidant on the left and right. Then he lowered his voice and whispered, "Master Yu, can you bear to watch the big guys be buried with Wang Lang?"
Yu Fan's face changed drastically, and he said, "Dong Xi, be careful that the wall has ears,"
Dong Xi sneered and said: "The army under the city is about to attack the city. Wang Lang will not be able to protect himself. I am afraid of what he will do. Master Yu. I heard that Jingzhou is in harmony with the people under the governance of Master Liu, and the people live in peace and prosperity. Master Liu, did you do a good thing for the elders in your hometown?"
Yu Fan hesitated: "Kuiji city walls are high and deep. If you can't stick to it, it will be difficult to get rid of it urgently."
While I was talking, I heard the shouts from the city on the top of the city, and saw the generals from the city brandishing their swords and rushing straight across the suspension bridge. It turned out that although Wang Lang ordered the use of chaotic arrows just now, the inside of the city gate and the suspension bridge were full of defeat. The soldiers who came back did shoot many people dead by the turbulent arrows, but the suspension bridge did not have time to pull up for a while, and there were many dead bodies piled up at the gates, crowded with many wounded soldiers, and they couldn't be closed. Gan Ning saw the opportunity. , With a roar, rushed to the suspension bridge,
Gan Ning has a murderous heart. Regardless of whether he is dead or alive, he only slashes the past, but he smashes a bloody way and rushes to the depths of the city gate. When the city defenders see him so brave, how can anyone dare to go forward? Block, let him run into the city,
After his slaughter, there was a lot of looseness at the city gate. The soldiers hurriedly pushed the city gate closer, but the rope on one side of the suspension bridge was cut by Ganning, and it was no longer able to pull it up.
Wang Lang saw Gan Ning rushing into the city alone from the top of the city, and he was overjoyed and said, "Quickly, all go up to me and kill him."
Soldiers in the city rushed up and surrounded Ganning on the third and outer three levels. Ganning was not afraid, and shouted loudly. Wherever the knife passed, flesh and blood flew across, and broken arms and limbs were scattered on the ground, in a blink of an eye. Hundreds of lives were injured, and the soldiers surrounding him were shocked by his murderous aura like a god. As long as they saw Gan Ning rushing over, they would involuntarily retreat back.
Dong Xi saw it from the top of the city and secretly praised him. He was really a good guy. He turned his head and saw Wang Langzheng instructing his left and right cronies to cast cold arrows. Not feeling furious, he pulled out his knives, strode forward, and slapped the name. The archer fell to the ground,
Wang Lang looked back and said angrily: "Dong Xi, are you going to rebel?"
Dong Xi didn't answer, yelled, and rushed to his body. He danced like a windmill with a stab at his waist. When things rushed, Wang Lang couldn't avoid it. He was hit early on his left arm, and his left and right cronies desperately resisted, and then he was chopped. From the bottom, there are a few cronies around Wang Lang who saw Dong Xi and Yu Fan whispering there just now. Now Dong Xi suddenly launched a trouble, and then thinks that Yu Fan just persuaded Wang Lang to make peace or ask for surrender, and thought Dong Xi was here. It was under the instigation of Yu Fan, who was wronged and the debtor was in charge. Those Wang Lang cronies did not wait for instructions, called a few companions, brandished knives and spears, and rushed to Yu to turn over. Yu turned into a county and a local family. How could there not be a few cronies around, the people who saw Wang Lang inexplicably killed them, not to be outdone, they raised swords and guns to greet them, the two teams quickly fought in one place, and there was a chaos in the city.
Seeing Gan Ning rushing into the city single-handedly, Huang Gai and Su Fei were shocked. They hurriedly ordered the soldiers to come forward to help, but saw that the city gate was closed long ago. Fortunately, the ropes of the suspension bridge have been blocked by Gan Ning. Cut off, the soldiers crossed the moat smoothly. When Huang Gai and Su Fei were anxious, they saw two groups of people on the top of the city fight first. They were overjoyed. Some soldiers had lifted the log and began to hit the city gate. , Some soldiers started to bow their bows and shoot towards the city head, and more soldiers took off, grabbed, scratched their hooks and threw them towards the city head.
They were originally naval forces, fighting on the river. Bows and arrows were one of their main weapons. Flying grasping and scratching hooks were also indispensable in water battles. The naval forces’ bows and arrows were quite sharp, and the archers had undergone long-term rigorous training. Although it was from bottom to top, it suppressed all the archers on the city’s head, but the walls of Kuaiji City are very high. Not everyone can throw flying grabs and scratching hooks on the battlements, but there are always so few forces. It was big. Soon, more than 20 ropes were hung down on the city wall. These naval soldiers were much more flexible than climbing ladders. In a blink of an eye, dozens of people went up to the city.
Wang Langqiang endured the pain in his arm and still insisted on commanding there. He saw that the army under the city had reached the head of the city, and the people surrounding Ganning in the city suffered heavy casualties, but they could not get close to Ganning's side. He knew that he was defeated today. It was decided, and I hurriedly took a few cronies and fled down the city quietly.
This scene was really seen by Dong Xi. He turned back and chopped the pikeman who was approaching him to the ground, shouting loudly: "Wang Lang has abandoned you, are you still going to die for him?"
The people in the fierce battle discovered that Wang Lang had lost track at some point. At the same time, more and more Jingzhou naval forces were climbing up the city head, occupying a large area on the city head, and the city's fall was a foregone conclusion. , I don’t know who brought the head, and threw down the knives in his hands. The others followed the same pattern. The sound of "ding ding dong dong" rang out. With the cheers on the top of the city, those who surrounded Gan Ning in the city The soldiers also gave up resistance and surrendered.
Long ago, soldiers led Dong Xi and Yu to turn to Gan Ning. The common names of both parties have been completed. Yu turned a glance at Gan Ning, who was stained red with blood, and said, "Yu wants to beg the general for something. I hope that the general will be kind to the people in the city and don’t injure the innocent."
Gan Ning laughed and said: "My father-in-law said long ago that we are soldiers of the big man, and the people in the world are the people of the big man. The relationship between the soldiers and the people is the relationship between fish and water. We are originally a family. Will hurt the people in the city, not to mention treating the people kindly, even the injured prisoners of war, we will treat them properly."
After hearing Gan Ning's words, Yu Fan couldn't help but be overjoyed. He even claimed to thank him, then leaned forward and asked, "I don't know why the general came here."
Gan Ning did not hide it, waved his hand and said, "Yan Baihu of Yuzhang acted boldly. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of my Patriarch to attack the thieves Dong Zhuo. He was defeated by me for a while. I heard that he fled to Kuaiji. I came here and didn’t want Wang Lang to be a Hanchen but to be kind to Yan Baihu, a bandit. Today’s affairs are also on his own account. Where is Yan Baihu now, please let me know."
Yu Fan said, "Yan Baihu is a tyrannical man. Wang Taishou really shouldn't have a relationship with him. However, as far as I know, Yan Baihu never came to Kuaiji. He must have fled to Wu County."
Gan Ning saw that Yu turned not like a lie, and said in deep thought: "If this is the case, my army will be sent to Wu County, and Kuaiji City will ask Mr. Yu and Dong Zhuangshi as guards, waiting for the Ming lord to give him a reward."
Dong Xi replied: "Dong has admired Mrs. Liu for a long time, and he can work for Mrs. Liu. It is really his duty. It is just that Mr. Dong was originally a person under Wang Lang's control. I am afraid that Mrs. Liu will not be accepted by Mrs. Liu. I hope the general will introduce him on his behalf,"
Gan Ning smiled and said: "My paternal master is thirsty. As long as he is a useful person, he does not ask about his origin. For example, I am Gan Ning, who turned out to be just a pirate on the Yangtze River. With the important responsibility, Mr. Yu and Dong Zhuangshi, you two don’t have to worry, you will be reused by my Patriarch in the future."
Yu Fan said: "Yu only asks for the safety of his hometown fathers and elders, and he has peace of mind. He doesn't dare to ask for other things, but the general came from afar and he didn't see any heavy vehicles with him. How could he be able to continue attacking Wu Jun? , I would like to help the army raise food and grass,"
Gan Ning did not prepare much supplies for this dispatch. First, it was a long distance and it was inconvenient to carry transport. Second, his original duty was to defend Changsha, and he did not intend to attack Yuzhang. Naturally, he did not prepare for this. Hearing that Yu Fan was willing to take the initiative to provide grain and grass, Gan Ning said with joy: "If Mr. Yu helps, Jun Wu can be broken just around the corner. However, my patron has always distinguished between public and private. Mr. Yu can raise grain and grass, and he can’t help the people. Forcibly grabbing and grabbing, the ins and outs of every money and food must be clearly recorded. After the war, my Patriarch will pay the price and repay it."
Throughout the ages, most of the materials needed by the army in wartime have been forcibly expropriated, not to mention food and grass. Sometimes even if they are not even arrested and used as strong men, even if God is blessed, who dares to care for them to ask for money, of course it is not a problem. For those who like to disturb the people, he originally wanted to mobilize his family members to donate some money and food, but he did not expect that Liu Xin’s army requisitioned food and grass, and he would make a clear calculation with the people. He was an unprecedented teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Touchedly said: "Please rest assured that the army will move forward, the food and grass matters will be borne by themselves,"
It took only six or seven hundred miles from Kuaiji to Wu County. Ganning took the army to rest for a while, and then set off overnight. On the way, he drank water from the stream and ate dry food when he was hungry. To go to Wucheng, such a distance, if it were an ordinary army marching, it would take at least three to four days, but Ganning only took one day and two nights. By the third day, before the sky broke, they had already arrived in Wu. In a jungle twenty miles southwest of the city,
After all, these soldiers are just navy soldiers, not pawns. I haven't done anything like this continuous marching. They all supported them with a breath. When Ganning gave the order to rest on the spot, everyone was weak. On the ground, I don’t even bother to move,
Seeing this scene, Su Fei said anxiously: "General Qi, the soldiers are already exhausted, I am afraid that they will not be able to take on the task of siege, should we find a place to set up a camp first, and then fight tomorrow?"
