West of Bazhanggou, Gan Ning squatted in the grass, holding the head of the war horse tightly with his arm, pressing the war horse to the ground, preventing it from moving. After the stringed horn bow was opened, the carved feather arrow was inserted into the ground, reaching out.

Although these war horses are not rare horses, they are well-tamed and familiar with the battlefield. In fact, Gan Ning doesn't have to work so hard. Naturally, they know when to stay quiet. At this moment, they don't move at all, just breathing heavily. Among the reeds fifty steps away, several crossbowmen were holding crossbows, Zhang Xian putting arrows, and lightly putting their fingers on the crossbow machine, ready to shoot at any time.

On the east bank of Bazhanggou a hundred steps away, two Youzhou soldiers immediately stood on a hill, looked around, looked around for a moment, joking for a few words, rushed down the hill, and headed southeast. They were very relaxed, and they didn't expect that there would be more than a hundred cavalry hidden a hundred steps away, and they didn't expect that just fifty steps away, there were several crossbows that had locked them. As long as they walked a few more steps forward, they would shoot them without hesitation.

They escaped, but had fatal consequences, and countless companions would die due to their negligence.

But this is not their fault. Guan Yu himself did not expect that there would be cavalry in the Jiangdong Army, nor did he expect that Gan Ning would land with hundreds of cavalry and seize his retreat. Gan Ning was the navy commander and has always been mainly engaged in transportation. There are not many opportunities for independent combat. It is understandable that he would advance along the water. Abandoning a boat landing is tantamount to seeking death.

Seeing the Youzhou Army scout cavalry leaving, Gan Ning curled his lips. Sure enough, someone was leading any soldier. With more than a hundred steps, he could feel the pride and frivolity of these two scout cavalry.

"Frog in the well, let me, Gan Dadu, teach you how to use troops today."

Gan Ning stood up, pulled up the war horse, turned over and jumped on the horse, and rushed north along Bazhanggou. The sun set in the west, and the baggage camp that was behind was about to camp and cook soon. This was a good opportunity to rush forward and there were few opportunities left. Although he concealed his whereabouts as much as possible, he could not ensure that everything was foolproof. Once a scout found the horse's hoof print, it was inevitable that Guan Yu would notice the existence of this cavalry, but he might not have thought that he was in it.

More than a hundred knights walked forward along Bazhanggou, crossed Bazhanggou at a suitable location, and continued to move forward for more than ten miles. When the sun was about to set, they discovered Guan Yu's baggage camp. More than two thousand people, half of them were infantrymen, most of them were unarmed civilians, busy setting up camps, or burying pots to make rice and preparing dinner.

The smoke from cooking stoves was curling and the evening breeze blew away the heat of summer. Many soldiers gathered together, talking and laughing, and a peaceful atmosphere, without realizing the danger approaching. More than a dozen knights were scattered around, carrying out warnings or passing messages back and forth, and they also looked relaxed and rode their horses lightly.

Gan Ning was overjoyed and immediately issued an order to attack. There were only more than a hundred people, without the golden drum command, and even the battle flag was not displayed. They just conveyed the orders verbally. The hundreds of cavalry were divided into two teams, dozens of steps apart, and surrounded them from both left and right directions. Several knights with powerful crossbows rushed to the front, aimed at the alert Youzhou knights, and pulled the crossbow machine.

More than ten crossbow arrows left the string. The knight had just raised the horn in his hand, but was shot by the crossbow arrow before it could be blown and fell off the horse.

"Kill!" Gan Ning kicked the horse and ran wildly, with a slanted finger on his sword, and his face was ferocious. Although he was good at shooting, he was not good at riding and shooting, so he simply gave up shooting, chose to force the attack, rushed into the camp of the Youzhou Army as fast as possible, and gained the initiative.

"Kill" the hundreds of cavalry roared in unison, kicked the war horses hard, and accelerated their progress.

More than a hundred war horses ran wildly, kicking the mud-clad grass, rolling up a light smoke behind them, the sound of the hooves was like thunder and the morale was like rainbow, and they killed the Youzhou army hundreds of steps away. The scouts from other sides discovered them, and while plucking the horses towards the camp, they blew the horn to call the police.

"Woooooo"

Hearing the sound of the trumpet of the police, the people who were setting up camp and preparing dinner were shocked and looked up. The infantry soldiers who were protecting were much better. They followed Guan Yu for many years and had been in a battle formation. Although they were attacked by accident, they still immediately took action, approached their respective military marquis and Du Bo, assembled under the battle flag, and set up a formation to fight, especially the crossbowmen. They did not need orders, prepared on the spot, rolled the strings, posed arrows, and shot at the galloping knights, and tried every possible way to block the enemy and gain time for their companions.

Scattered arrows flew over, Gan Ning, who was rushing in front, raised his shield and continued to speed forward. He did not use a shield, but a large infantry soldier that only he could lift. The shield was wide and perfectly covered the front. The arrows of the Youzhou Army shot on it, making a tick, but they could not shoot through, and they could not hurt him. Although a powerful crossbowman discovered this and shot his war horse, it was too late to stop him.

Gan Ning rushed to the front of the camp, swung the sword and slashed hard, slashing a spear that was coming towards him. The horse slammed into it, knocking the spearman with a muffled groan, spitting blood in his mouth, and flew upside down. His companions couldn't avoid it, and were knocked to the ground and were in a mess.

Without a strong formation, the infantry was vulnerable to the cavalry and was defeated in a blink of an eye.

Gan Ning and others rode their horses in and killed wantonly. Those who were far away bows and crossbows and those who were near were invincible. These knights were Gan Ning's personal guards. Although they were naval masters, they often trained cavalry and fought. Their strength was not weaker than real knights. They were not afraid of these scattered infantrymen and had a fierce offensive.

The war horses knocked over the soldiers, kicked over the stove, and clashed back and forth among the Youzhou army, dispersing the Youzhou army that was trying to set up a formation to counterattack one by one. Gan Ning took the lead, and saw the position of the captain who was commanding the army and rushed straight to it.

The captain's face was pale, but he did not give up resistance. He roared and ordered his personal guards to form a formation to block the attack. He raised his bow himself and shot three arrows at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning raised his shield to block two arrows, and another branch passed by the edge of the shield, hitting his pubic armor, but failed to shoot through it. It was slid away by the arc-shaped armor piece, and a strip of sparks were drawn. Listening to the crisp sound, Gan Ning laughed loudly, rode his horse in, blocked the long sword in his hand left and right, splitting two spears, and the third knife passed by the captain's neck. The captain raised his bow to block it, but he was slower. His neck cooled down, and Gan Ning had already swept past him and cut open his carotid artery with one knife.

Blood was ejected, and another knight killed the captain like the wind and knocked the captain down. The horse's hooves were as big as a bowl on his chest. The captain shouted wildly, and the blood was sprayed on his mouth, and it was in awe. More knights rushed by, trampling the captain beyond recognition. One knight pulled off his battle flag, lit the fire, and waved it hard.
