Chapter 858 Attack
In this quiet night, hundreds of thousands of Huang Gai army suddenly launched a fierce attack on the water camp of the Qin army. Although there were no signs before this, the layered and layered police network arranged by Gan Ning played a key role. The first time Cao army launched an attack, Chaohu Water and Land Village responded in a timely manner.
The war was in full swing. The torches of both sides and rockets that cut through the sky like a pop of rain turned the whole world into blood-red. The sound of killing was like thunder. Occasionally, Sun Jian's warships crashed into the fences outside the Qin army's water camp in flames. The soldiers of both sides kept falling into the water. The soldiers of both sides were still sacrificing their lives in the water.
While the Water Village War was ongoing, an elite Huang Gai army landed on the shore to launch a fierce attack on the Qin army's Lu Village. The Huang Gai army's offensive was very resolute and brave, but it did not make any progress at all. Instead, it suffered a considerable loss from the counterattack of defensive facilities such as Luzhai Arrow Tower.
The sky gradually became brighter, and Huang Gai's water and land army did not make decisive progress. The army on both sides fought fiercely in two places, and the war was in a stalemate. Seeing this, Huang Gai ordered the temporary retreat.
Gan Ning returned to the tent with a big water-dividing knife, and caught the messenger and asked, "Has the Fei Ge sent a letter?" The messenger quickly replied, "It has been sent a long time ago!"
Gan Ning let go of the messenger and cursed in anger: "This old man Huang Gai actually played a trick of attacking Grandpa Gan! It's really hateful!" At this time, Gan Ning's deputy general Sun Jiang rushed into the tent.
Gan Ning scolded in anger: "What are you doing in a panic?"
Sun Jiang clasped his fists and said, "General, our army's losses have been counted!"
"How about it"
Sun Jiang replied: "The Navy and Army lost about 10,000 people in total, and the Huang Gai Army's losses were slightly higher than ours!"
"Damn!" Gan Ning couldn't help but curse and asked Sun Jiang: "How much is the Huang Gai Army's strength?"
Sun Jiang replied with a shameless look: "It's not clear yet, but it's at least not less than 100,000!"
"Nonsense! Without a hundred thousand troops, will they dare to attack my water and land camp?" Gan Ning said angrily.
Gan Ning paced back and forth in the tent, stopped and said to Sun Jiang: "Immediately send a letter to General Zhang Fei to send a letter, and send additional scouts to the surrounding areas. All troops and villages should be guarded strictly. You must not leave the village without my order. Violators will be punished!" "Yes!" Sun Jiang agreed with his fists and hurriedly left the tent.
Gan Ning sat down on the commander's position, put the water-dividing sword aside, closed his eyes and said to the messenger: "Don't bother me if there is nothing important!" After speaking, the snoring sounded. The messenger clasped his fists at Gan Ning and quietly withdrew from the tent.
At noon, Gan Ning received a reply from Chen Chu, in which Chen Chu asked Gan Ning to hold on.
Gan Ning walked out of the tent with a big water split knife and prepared to inspect the defense situation outside the water camp. At this moment, the scouts came to report that Huang Gai's army gathered again.
Gan Ning hurriedly took his personal soldiers to the observation deck on the high shore and looked into the lake. He saw thousands of Sun Jian's warships covering a large area of river like duckweed. The warships that appeared here were not the short and fast ships used by Huang Gai's army last night, but the tower ship that was more than ten meters long. Huang Gai obviously wanted to rely on the powerful attack power of the tower ship to break through the Qin army's water village. The location of the Qin army's water village is a water bay with the same buildings, with high hills on both sides. There are fortresses and watchtowers on the hills to echo the water village. There is a recessed bay below the high hill on the left, which is usually isolated from Chaohu Lake. However, when Chaohu Lake is rising, the two are connected. What we need to explain here is that the water village and Lu Village are actually one. The so-called water village is actually a place where ships are docked near the lake shore, while Lu Village is a joint camp on the shore.
"General, look over there." A lieutenant shouted at the shore of the lake to the south.
Gan Ning looked in the direction of the captain's finger and saw at least 50,000 troops gathering outside the camp. Gan Ning frowned and sneered, "Old Huang Gai wants to attack my water and land camp in water and land! It is said that my general, the Fourth Legion will all gather to the south of the dry village!" "General, if the Fourth Legion is transferred to deal with the enemy army, what should we do about the defense of the water camp?" A captain asked worriedly. Gan Ning scolded impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense! Go and send orders!" The captain's heart was trembling, and he quickly clasped his fists to respond, and retreated quickly.
Gan Ning left the observation deck, and at this time his personal soldiers had already led Gan Ning's war horses over. Gan Ning stepped on the war horse, picked up the water-dividing sword, and said to a messenger beside him: "Tell Sun Jiang, Fenghua, leave the defense of the water village to them. If I see the water village being broken when I come back, I want the heads of the two of them!" Yu Luo, and rode his horse to the south.
Gan Ning rode his horse to Nanyuan Gate. At this time, nearly 40,000 elite troops of the Fourth Legion had basically been assembled.
Gan Ning stood on the war horse and looked outside, and couldn't help but be stunned. He saw a team of familiar and unfamiliar figures. The people and horses were heavily armored, with a strong and cold momentum, which was clearly Cao's killer "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". Unexpectedly, Cao's army actually took out his last elite guardian.
Gan Ning immediately hesitated. Gan Ning knew the advantages and disadvantages of the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". Although the number of the tiger and Leopard Cavalry in front of him was only a few thousand, if they came out from the side and back when the army on both sides was in a stalemate, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"General, the army has been assembled! Please give an order!" A deputy general of the Fourth Legion came to Gan Ning to report the report.
Gan Ning hesitated for a moment and ordered: "Third, the 40,000th team immediately set up defense! The other two 10,000 teams retreated to the central army to support all parties!" The general was stunned. Gan Ning glared at the tiger's eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Why are you going to pass the order when you are standing there!" The deputy general came to his senses and immediately went down to pass the order.
A moment later, the sound of the enemy's war drums sounded outside the gate, and a general of Cao's army ran between the two armies with a mace, shouting: "I am the general Xiahou Dun, who dares to fight me?"
The Qin soldiers couldn't help but turn their eyes on Gan Ning. Gan Ning cursed in a low voice and shouted in a deep voice at the captain of the gate: "Open the door!"
Gan Ning rode out with a big sword in the water, and came to Xiahou Dun's battle horse and set aside more than ten steps.
Xiahou Dun laughed heroically and said loudly: "General Gan, don't be fine!"
Gan Ning clenched his nose and said in a daze: "Nonsense! Grandpa Gan doesn't know how moisturized your family is!"
Xiahou Dun frowned and snorted coldly.
Gan Ning shook his head with a tsk, and said with a contemptuous look: "As a general, you didn't expect that your aura would be so narrow! It seems that your life is not long!"
"Gan Ning, stop talking nonsense! If you have the courage, fight me for 300 rounds!" Xiahou Dun said angrily.
Gan Ning's momentum suddenly changed, and his majestic aura was like a beast. Gan Ning tightened the water-dividing sword in his hand and sang: "Last time is not counted! Today we must decide the winner!" Xiahou Dun's tiger eyes lit up, "Okay!!"
Both sides looked at each other, and their momentum quickly climbed. The soldiers on both sides were silent, and everyone felt like a storm was coming.
"Kill!!" The two of them roared almost at the same time.
Two war horses neighed and broke their hooves and crossed. In a blink of an eye, a dazzling geese suddenly appeared in the air, and the whole world seemed to have a pause.
~~~~~~~~~~
It was noon when Zhang Fei received Gan Ning's urgent flying pigeon transmission letter. After reading Gan Ning's flying pigeon transmission letter, Zhang Fei couldn't help but be furious and immediately ordered the Xiongnu cavalry to rush to Chaohu Water and Land Village.
Gan Ning and Xiahou Dun fought for more than a hundred rounds but still did not decide the outcome. At this time, the momentum of both sides had reached the peak; the soldiers on both sides shouted at the top of their lungs, each of them was full of passion.
Suddenly, the sound of the golden bell in the Cao army started to ring. Everyone was stunned.
