Chapter 70: Surprise Attack on Yiling

"Brother, brothers have followed you for so many years. Now that I can live and die with you, it's worth it!" A middle-aged man next to him said to Gan Ning.

Nowadays, 70% or 80% of the remaining soldiers around Ganning are old men under Ganning, and many of them followed Ganning as water thieves back then. At this critical moment of life and death, the soldiers called Ganning the "Boss" again.

Gan Ning looked at these old brothers, and then said, "Brothers, you all have wives and children. You don't have to die with me, Gan Ning. You should surrender!"

"Boss, you saved your life! Even if you die today, you will die with the boss!" Gan Ning said behind him, and suddenly pulled something out of his arms and placed it in front of everyone. Looking at it, it was half a piece of brocade canvas!

"Boss, I still flow my golden sail. For decades, I have carried this golden sail on my body every day. Today, I will set up this golden sail for the boss again! Even if we die in battle, we cannot weaken the reputation of the Jinfan thief!"

When Ganning was a water thief, it was marked by Jinfan, so at that time, this group of water thieves in Ganning had a nickname called "Jinfan Thieves". Ganning was also called Jinfan Ganning.

"Jinfan? Jinfan!" Looking at the half of Jinfan, tears emerged from Gan Ning's eyes. Gan Ning stroked Jinfan and said sternly: "Okay, brothers, you are right! Even if you die in battle, we cannot weaken the reputation of Jinfan thief! Come on, raise Jinfan for me!"

"Your Highness, what do you think this is?" Zhang Ren pointed to the distance.

In the distance, half a piece of brocade sail was carried on several flagpoles, and half a piece of brocade sail was raised above this land, which was particularly conspicuous among the crowd.

"The Jinfan thief Gan Ning!" A Dou sighed softly.

"Gan Ning? Jinfan?" Zhang Ren next to him was also stunned, and then said, "It seems that Gan Ning has a desperate ambition!"

As both generals, Zhang Ren could naturally understand Gan Ning. Since Gan Ning surrendered to Huang Zu, he has never raised this brocade sail again. Now that the brocade sail is raised again, Zhang Ren can already feel that Gan Ning is about to die here in battle!

For a general, dying in the battlefield may be the best way back. At this time, the Jiangdong Army was already infected by this sword, and its morale was unprecedentedly high. Since he knew he would die, why not die vigorously!

Adou sensitively noticed the aura of being ready to die from Jiang Dongjun. Once a person is not even afraid of death, then there is probably nothing in this world that can scare him.

The Jiangdong Army was completely crazy. At this time, A Dou understood that there was no need to take the life of the Shu Army to fight the group of madmen in Jiangdong.

"Zhang Ren, don't force them too much first, go and transfer the archers!" A Dou said.

Not long after, hundreds of archers came over from behind, bent their bows and arrows to chase more than a hundred people who were chasing Gan Ning.

At that moment, the Jiangdong Army was ready to go forward and fight against the Shu Army. At this time, the appearance of the archer made everyone realize that the Shu Army did not intend to fight against them in a close manner!

"Grandma, I don't want to be shot to death by them, I will fight them!" One of them shouted and immediately rushed forward with his weapons. The Jiangdong soldiers behind him also rushed forward.

"Shoot me!" With Zhang Ren's order, the sharp arrow flew towards the Jiangdong Army like raindrops.

All the Jiangdong army fell down, only Gan Ning stood there, holding the flagpole in his hand, and half of the brocade sail was hanging in Shanghai. At this time, dozens of bows and arrows were inserted into Gan Ning's body, and blood kept flowing out of Gan Ning's wounds.

Gan Ning looked around and the old brothers who had followed him for many years had fallen down. Not far away, Adou was watching him. At this time, Gan Ning had already seen that this young man, who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, was the leader of the place.

"I'm fighting with you!" Gan Ning ran towards Adou. At this time, Gan Ning had only one idea in his mind, that is, even if he died, he would still hold Adou's back.

"Show me an arrow!" Zhang Renyi waved his hand, and the archer immediately bent his bow and took the arrow.

"Let's go!" Adou suddenly organized Zhang Ren, and saw Adou fly forward, rushed to Gan Ning, and pointed his hand towards Gan Ning.

Gan Ning lost too much blood at this time, and his reaction and strength were no longer as good as usual. If he faced an ordinary person, Gan Ning might be able to be arrogant at this time. Unfortunately, Gan Ning was facing Adou.

When Gan Ning reacted, A Dou's hand had already touched Gan Ning's shoulder. Gan Ning felt his arm numb, and then his arm lost consciousness and the weapon fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Adou tapped several major acupoints on Gan Ning's body with lightning speed. Gan Ning suddenly felt that all parts of his body were numb and slowly lost consciousness. Then, he fell to the ground with a "thump" and gradually lost consciousness.

Then Adou hit Gan Ning several times in succession, sealing several bloodlines of Gan Ning. In this way, the blood on Gan Ning's body was temporarily stopped.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is mighty!" Zhang Ren shouted from behind and then walked over. Zhang Ren squatted down and flipped Gan Ning's body, then spoke, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, he still has a breath! Do you want to solve him?"

"No need, it's useless to save his life!" Adou said.

Zhang Ren thought Adou was going to surrender Gan Ning, so he spoke, "Your Highness, Gan Ning has been following the Sun family for many years and is loyal to the Sun family. It may be very difficult to surrender him!"

"I'm not trying to surrender him!" As soon as Adou got here, he changed his voice and asked, "Zhang Ren, how much do you think Wu's army has escaped this time?"

Zhang Ren thought for a while and said, "I think about 60,000 or 70,000 people escaped from this formation!"

"Yes, if you add the 100,000 naval troops, Lu Xun still has a 100,000 army in his hands. Do you think Yongan can be defended?"

Zhang Ren shook his head: "It is impossible to defend it, but if you retreat to Badong and deploy layers of defense, it is difficult for Lu Xun to enter Shuzhong!"

"Yes, now most of Lu Xun's men have escaped. If only a little repair is needed, they will make a comeback. At that time, we will still push Badong down." A Dou paused and continued: "Now Lu Xun has come from afar, and all the food and grass are stored in Yiling, so we only need to send a group of light cavalry to raid Yiling and burn the Wu army's food and grass. If the Wu army lacks food, they will inevitably retreat! So you immediately prepare a thousand elite cavalry for me, bring more fire-driven things, and follow me to Yiling!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is too dangerous, absolutely not possible! Yiling is two or three hundred miles away. Your Highness the Crown Prince goes deep alone, and it is very dangerous, so you must not go!" Zhang Ren hurriedly stopped.

"How can I get a tiger's son if I don't enter the tiger's den? Besides, I could disrupt the Central Plains with three hundred cavalry. Now I give me one thousand people, afraid that I won't come back? Besides, in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao also led his own soldiers to raid Wuchao before he won the victory." A Dou said.

"Your Highness, one time and another! During the Battle of Guandu that day, the one who guarded Wuchao was Chunyu Qiong. Chunyu Qiong was the one who misled the matter with a greedy cup, so that Cao Cao had an opportunity to take advantage of it. Now the Yiling guard general is Zhuge Jin, and it is not comparable to that of Chunyu Qiong, a fool who misses the matter with a greedy cup!" Zhang Ren said.

From Yiling to Yong'an, there were no cities along the road for hundreds of miles, and these hundreds of roads were not easy to walk on, so Liu Bei established a joint venture for the supply of logistics supplies.

Now that Lu Xun's attack on Shu is still difficult to walk. At this time, Lu Xun's army's food and grass are all stored in Yiling. Zhuge Jin is the one who guards Yiling and is responsible for logistics.

Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's eldest brother. Zhuge Jin is also quite talented. Not only is proficient in internal affairs, but also knows military affairs. In addition to being able to do martial arts, he is very good in other aspects. In fact, Zhuge Jin is also a talented person who can stabilize the country, but it is because Zhuge Jin's younger brother Zhuge Liang is so dazzling that most people did not notice Zhuge Jin a few years ago.

With Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Hong and others dying one after another, Zhuge Jin finally survived to make a breakthrough. Zhuge Jin was deeply trusted by Sun Quan, and with his talent, he was entrusted with an important task to guard Yiling and be responsible for supplying the army's food, grass and supplies.

Zhuge Liang is a cautious person. As Zhuge Liang's brother, Zhuge Jin is not far behind. Today's Yiling is no longer as good as Wuchao in the past, and Zhuge Jin is much more skillful than Chunyu Qiong. The difficulty of A Dou's surprise attack on Yiling is predictable.

I saw Adou patting Gan Ning on the ground, and then said, "Whether you can take down Yiling depends on Gan Ning's clothes! Zhang Ren, you should immediately take off all the Wu army's clothes, be careful not to damage them!"

At this time, Lu Xun finally stabilized his position.

The soldiers replenished water and began to slowly recover their physical strength. At the same time, Lu Xun also ordered his generals to start counting the number of people.

After a counting, the loss finally came out. In the past few days, Wu's army has reduced 30,000 people. Among them, when they were harassed by Adou in the past few days, about 6,000 people were lost in the formation, and the rest were killed or lost in the formation in the pursuit battle in the last formation.

Moreover, the vanguard officer Gan Ning did not come out of the formation. It is conceivable that Gan Ning must have died in the formation.

For the Wu army, Gan Ning's death was not just a loss of a general. Gan Ning was a general of Jiangdong and had a strong record for decades. Now the vanguard of the Wu army is also Gan Ning. After leaving the army, he lost the vanguard officer first, which had a great impact on the morale of the three armies.

Lu Xun lost 30,000 people in the Eighth Formation, and only 70,000 infantry remained. However, with the 30,000 naval army, there were still 100,000 troops in Jiangdong. It was hard to say that he could conquer Chengdu steadily, but it was not difficult to conquer half of Yizhou one after another.

However, the three or four days in this formation consumed no less than a battle, so Lu Xun decided to let the three armies rest for a few days, wait until they recovered their strength, and then bypass the Stonehenge and attack Baidi City directly.

Yiling.

Zhuge Jin was appointed as the left general by Sun Quan after the Battle of Jingzhou. Now Lu Xun is launching a large-scale attack on Wu, but the Shu road is difficult and the transportation of food and grass is inconvenient, so Sun Quan ordered Zhuge Jin to stay in Yiling and be responsible for supplying food and grass to support the successive army to attack Shu. It is precisely because of Zhuge Jin that Lu Xun's army has not encountered insufficient food supply so far.

As the city closest to Bashu, Yiling happened to be stuck on the main transportation route. Whether entering Shu by water or land, it would pass through Yiling, so Yiling is the best place for the Wu army to store food and grass. Today, this Yiling City stores the food and grass used by Lu Xun's 100,000 troops, and these food and grass were accumulated over the years in Jiangdong.

Zhuge Jin knew that Jiangdong had accumulated over the years and was all in this Yiling City, and there was no way to lose money, so Zhuge Jin was always trembling, fearing that an enemy would attack Yiling.

Zhuge Jin dragged his tired body back to the temporary station. It was not easy to allocate food and grass for more than 100,000 people. In addition, Sun Quan did not give Zhuge Jin a few capable helpers, so Zhuge Jin had to do everything himself. As a result, Zhuge Jin was exhausted after one day.

Zhuge Jin was a little worried about Lu Xun's army for several days. But thinking about Lu Xun's army with many soldiers and his younger brother Zhuge Liang is far away in Hanzhong, so logically, Lu Xun should not fail, even if he did not achieve too many results, with Lu Xun's ability, he should not lose too many people and preserve some vitality for the Wu army.

As the sun sets, Yiling's city gate is also closed. Not long after the city gate is closed, the school hurriedly ran in and immediately shouted when he saw Zhuge Jin: "General, General Gan Ning is seriously injured and is now outside the city!"

"Take me over!" Zhuge Jin didn't care about his physical fatigue and immediately followed the school.

Zhuge Jin came to the city gate tower and saw a large group of Wu soldiers standing there. Zhuge Jin was worried that this was the Shu army's plan, so he shouted loudly at the bottom: "Who is here? Let's sign up!"

"But Lord Zhuge! I'm bothering Lord Zhuge to open the city gate. General Gan Ning was seriously injured. After being treated by the military Chinese medicine practitioners, although his life was no longer serious, it was not easy to stay in the army. We were ordered by the governor to send General Gan Ning back to Yiling for treatment!" A cavalry leader replied.

"General Gan Ning was seriously injured? Why did this happen?" Zhuge Jin asked hurriedly.

"Mr. Zhuge, the governor accidentally entered a stone formation left by Zhuge Liang by the river. He failed to make an appearance for several days. Later, the governor led us to finally walk out of the stone formation, and General Gan Ning was injured when the rear was cut off."

Zhuge Jin nodded. Zhuge Jin was still very familiar with his younger brother Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was proficient in formations and it was normal for him to arrange a stone formation to trap Lu Xun. What Wu Jun said in front of him was very credible, but at this time Zhuge Jin still decided to confirm the other party's identity again.

So Zhuge Jin shouted, "Then General Gan Ning can be here, can you come out and see me?"

"Please wait for a moment, Lord Zhuge!" Wu Jun waved his hand and came from behind. A man was lying on the car, in a coma.

Because it was dark, Zhuge Jin could not see the face of the person in the car, so Zhuge Jin put down a person with a hanging basket and went to check if Gan Ning was lying in the car.
