Gan Ning stared into the distance, and Wu Cheng was faintly visible in the thin morning mist. He shook his head and said, "The soldiers are so fast, Yan Baihu probably never dreamed that we came to Wucheng so soon. He must be there. There is no precaution. I will not take Wucheng at this time. When will I wait, tell the soldiers and let them carry forward the tradition of our old Jingzhou army, with the spirit of twelve points, rush into Wucheng for breakfast."
What is the tradition of the old Jingzhou army? It is the fearless spirit of not being afraid of death and hardship. This sentence of Gan Ning refreshed the soldiers who were extremely tired. They were the Jingzhou navy and so did the Jingzhou navy. One of the first armies to serve Liu Xin. Although there were no major battles and mutiny occurred in the middle, Liu Xin did not discriminate against them at all, and even their salary was slightly higher than that of other regular legions. Especially in the past few years, those brand-new, tall and new warships have entered the water army Dazhai one after another, which shows how much Liu Xin attaches importance to the navy.
Nowadays, not only the policies implemented by Liu Xin are deeply rooted in Jingzhou and most of Yizhou, but he himself has also become the object of worship by the people, and his prestige in the army is as high as the sky. Gan Ning's simple sentence , So that all the soldiers have a sense of pride. They are the army that the lord trusts the most, and they are the descendants of the lord. At the critical moment, they will surely be able to stand up.
Just as Gan Ning expected, Yan Baihu did not expect them to come to Wucheng so soon, because he himself was still a hundred miles away from here. When he first started to escape, Yan Baihu did run very fast, almost drinking. There is no time to eat water and dry food, but since turning north in Kuaiji, Yan Baihu’s marching speed has slowed down, and even if Yan Baihu wants to go faster, his undisciplined mobs can’t get up. After entering the boundary of Wu County, the speed became even slower. There was his site. When he arrived in Yuhang County, Yan Baihu stopped and said that he was going to rest in the county town. In fact, it took a few days of hardship. I can’t stand it anymore. If I want to treat myself with big fish and meat, I will inevitably harm a few good ladies in the city. This delay is two days of work, and the result falls behind Gan Ning.
It was not until the evening of the same day that Yan Baihu led his troops back to Wucheng Changmen, only to see that the city gate was closed, Yan Baihu was swearing, and when he raised his head, he saw a bloody head hanging under the city gate. He took a closer look and was shocked. The head of his younger brother Yan Yu was hanging under the city gate.
Suddenly heard a gong sound, countless black-clad and black-armored soldiers popped up on the empty city just now. Su Fei was holding a spear and laughed loudly: "Yan Baihu, Wu Cheng has already changed masters, don't you hurry up? Dismount and surrender, when will you wait more
After Su Fei finished speaking, without waiting for Yan Baihu's answer, he moved his hand and saw chaotic arrows shooting down the city like migratory locusts. Yan Baihu did not dare to attack the city.
Not far, only the sound of the horns were heard, and countless ambushes were shot on both sides of the road. A general on the left, dancing with two whips in his hands, shouted loudly: "Yan Baihu, do you recognize Huang Gai? You took advantage of my Patriarch's father going north to Luoyang to take Yu Zhang, I didn’t expect you to have today too, huh, your death date is here, so let’s pay your life soon."
The general on the right was even more reticent. He swung his knife and slashed. It was Gan Ning. He immediately killed Yan Baihu and turned him on his back. Yan Baihu knew that he couldn't reach the enemy, so he drove his horse to a path in the diagonal stab, Gan Ning. Ken Heidi, led a team of people to chase after him,
Yan Baihu couldn't get rid of Ganning, and in a panic saw a fishing boat tied to the river in front of him. He grew up on the water's edge. Not only was he familiar with water, but he was also a master at manipulating boats. He was overjoyed and abandoned his horse. Jumped onto the fishing boat, swung a knife to cut the rope, and used the knife pole as a rod to prop the boat into the middle of the river.
The owner of the fishing boat is a single man in his thirties. Today he had a good harvest and sold a good price. He was ready to improve it in the evening. He was happily going to the village in front to buy a gourd wine and chopped half a roast chicken. When I walked back, I saw that his fishing boat was snatched away. The owner of the fishing boat panicked, threw the wine gourd in his hand, and yelled into the river. Where would Yan Baihu care for him? He put down his big knife in his hand and shook the boat in the boat. Come,
Gan Ning rushed to the river and saw Yan Baihu's war horse lowering his head and gnawing grass. A fisherman was beating his chest and feet there. The current was very fast. When Gan Ning asked Yan Baihu where he was going, he saw that the boat on the river was already there. Turned into a small black spot, he disappeared after turning a corner downstream. Gan Ning scolded annoyedly: "Grandma's, let this guy run away again. It's faster than a rabbit."
The fisherman saw that so many soldiers came all of a sudden. Although he lost his fishing boat and was crying, he did not dare to say a word.
Liu Xin repeatedly emphasized that he must be a military and civilian family. Ganning remembers this point. He comforted the fisherman and said: "You lost a fishing boat and picked up a war horse, but it is not a disadvantage. So, let's keep the war horse. It’s useless, so I’ll be taken back into the army by this general. It’s just that this general never took the silver tael with him. You can get up tomorrow morning and go to Wujun’s prefect’s mansion to find the general to ask for it. Remember, remember, if tomorrow is past, this general. I won’t admit it,"
Some people may ask how Gan Ning was able to take down Wucheng so quickly. Wucheng was built in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, it was built by Wu Zixu, a famous official in the country of Wu. It is extremely strong. If it is a strong attack, it cannot be defeated without ten and a half months. And will also pay heavy casualties,
Although Gan Ning looks irritable and bloodthirsty, in fact he is not a reckless person. Otherwise, even if he is brave, he would not be able to dominate the Yangtze River for so many years. He heard the words "Jinfan Thief" in different ways. Kou would voluntarily retreat. When Gan Ning led the soldiers to quietly approach the city gate, he found that before it was time to open the gate, the city was still peaceful, and no one was visible. Gan Ning rolled his eyes and had an idea. ,
The opening time of the city gate is usually at sunrise, and the chicken crowing is the standard. So when Meng Changjun fled back to Qi, there was a doorman who learned to cry from the chicken and deceived to open the city gate, leaving behind the allusion of cock crowing and dog thieves, Gan Of course, Ning would not learn how to crow, and his staff did not have such talents. He came up with another idea. In fact, it was not too early for ordinary people to get up at that time. When cock crowed, most people had not yet got up. But why did the city gate open so early? Because there are several types of people who need to get in and out of the city gate before everyone else, and every day, cities and villages are different and cannot be self-sufficient. Many things have to be transported in from the suburbs. Come, every day when the city gate is opened, there are farmers in the nearby villages carrying burdens and pushing carts, carrying all kinds of vegetables into the city, and then clearing the feces out. Gan Ning sees that there is still a section after leaving the city gate. In time, the soldiers were ordered to set up ambushes at various intersections leading to the city gate. No matter who passed by, they would be detained first.
With the first cock in the morning, the city gate slowly opened. Outside the gate, many vegetable farmers and fishermen were waiting. They were still wearing patched cloths. The vegetables and radishes in their burdens were still covered with morning dew, and the fish were alive and kicking. From time to time, he splashed the fishy river water everywhere. Everything was the same as before. The sergeant guarding the gate couldn’t help but yawned. It was still early and he wanted to go to sleep, but he didn’t. What I know is that these seemingly ordinary vegetable farmers and fishermen have actually been replaced by soldiers under Gan Ning, and there are bright steel knives hidden under those green vegetables. The moment the gatekeeper turned around, the sharp steel knives Put on his neck,
The process of seizing the city gate was easy and staggering, but Gan Ning did not feel complacent, but ran directly to the Taishou Mansion with a broadsword. At this time, the Taishou Mansion had not opened yet, and Gan Ning's usual big feet were once again. It worked and kicked the door open easily. Then he hacked briefly and rudely, so the servant servants who were vital to their lives quickly led Gan Ning to Yan Yu's place, and the unfortunate Yan Yu was holding his arms around. A delicate beauty slept soundly, so Gan Ning cut off two heads with a single knife. I think it was because of excessive exercise last night. Such a big movement outside didn’t wake him up, and he didn’t figure it out until he died. what's up,
However, Xu Chu led Ma Yun’s order and did not dare to delay. He rushed to Changsha non-stop, and saw people coming and going on the street. The calm and the waves everywhere were no different from the past. Xu Chu relaxed and went straight to the Taishou Mansion, but Only Cai Zhong greeted him, and did not see Gan Ning and the others. When things came to an end, Cai Zhong did not dare to conceal the matter and tell the matter out. After these years with Liu Xin, Xu Chu has already known the priorities of his actions, instead of back then. The Xu Zhongkang, who only knew how to kill happily, was not in a hurry to chase Ganning and his party, because according to his calculations, it was too late to catch up, and he only brought dozens of soldiers with him, most of the city of Changsha. The defenders let Gan Ning take away again. There is not even a decent general in the city. He must first ensure the safety of Changsha City, and then consider other things.
On the one hand, Xu Chu arranged for Kuaima to report the situation to Xiangyang. On the other hand, he patrolled the city defenses of Changsha, arranging the key points of the guards, where needs attention and where needed to be strengthened. As a general who participated in the defense of Xiangyang twice, Xu Chu has handled these matters in an orderly manner. ,
Ma Yun was also taken aback when he received the emergency document sent back by Xu Chu. She couldn't help being annoyed at Gan Ning's bold and presumptuous claims. Ma Yun became angry, not because he was worried about the safety of Changsha, but Xu Chu was there. Sitting in town, Changsha is still safe for at least a short time. Ma Yun is worried about the safety of the 20,000 navy troops that Gan Ning has brought out. They go deep into the enemy's territory alone and lack sufficient logistical supplies. The army was annihilated. Liu Xin spent a lot of effort to build this navy. Although Liu Xin did not explicitly say it, Ma Yun, who also came from later generations, knew very well why Liu Xin attached great importance to the navy. Is focusing on the surging Yangtze River,
