Chapter 986: The Great Battle in Front of the Camp
"General, don't be impulsive!"
When Su Fei saw that Gan Ning seemed to want to, when he went out to fight the enemy army, he immediately opened his mouth and persuaded Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was about to lead the army out to fight Zhang Xiu, but when he heard Su Fei's persuasion, he turned his head and glanced at Su Fei suspiciously.
"What's wrong? Su Fei, don't you think General Ben is not the opponent of that bastard? ”
"That bastard only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he dared to call for battle in front of my big camp, he just underestimated me, didn't give him some color, look at me can't swallow this breath!"
Apparently Gan Ning was enraged by the words of the embroidery.
But because of this, Su Fei immediately spoke again to persuade him.
"General, don't get me wrong, I don't know what kind of strength you have? How can the other party be your opponent, but did the general ever think that the other party knew that we had 30,000 troops here, and he only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to dare to come over and call for battle, and he was so fearless, didn't he have a little confidence? ”
Su Fei asked Gan Ning rhetorically, and stopped Gan Ning, who was still angry just now.
Thinking about it like this, Gan Ning also felt that there must be something strange about this matter.
He looked at the enemy general again, although Zhang Xiu's face was disdainful, but the soldiers and horses under his command were the same, there was no fear at all, and it was very wrong to think about it again.
It stands to reason that the current soldiers and horses under Guan Yu should still be worried about their own food and grass, not to mention stabilizing the morale of the army, just because of the shortage of food and grass, this matter cannot suppress the soldiers and horses under them at all, and they should all know that Guan Yu's men have no food and grass at this moment.
And after so many days of compressing the distribution of grain and grass, they should all be hungry and yellow-skinned, how can a person still have the kung fu to come here to attack his own camp.
But now Zhang Xiu is leading more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to call for battle, which is obviously strange everywhere.
After thinking about it carefully, Gan Ning understood that he couldn't go out easily.
"What you said Su Fei is very reasonable, you can't go out easily, quickly send someone to report to General Huang Zhong in Xicheng immediately, just say that Guan Yu's army is dispatched to call our army to call for formation, and I will be ordered to defend here!"
Gan Ning did not retreat, but immediately sent his soldiers and horses to report to Huang Zhong in Xicheng.
After all, the army under Huang Zhong was Liu Zheng's main force stationed in Shangyong.
If Guan Yu really led the main army to come over to find trouble, he had to tell Huang Zhong.
After Su Fei heard Gan Ning's words, he immediately received the order to go down to report the news.
And Zhang Xiu, who was outside the city, also sighed after seeing that Gan Ning didn't seem to be in the plan, and then ordered an attack without hesitation.
More than 10,000 soldiers and horses immediately launched a charge, directly launching a fierce attack on Gan Ning's battalion.
After the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhang Xiu launched a charge, his soldiers and horses were not able to cause too much damage to Gan Ning's army.
After all, there is also a camp here to block the two armies, so that Zhang Xiu and Gan Ning's soldiers and horses cannot directly engage in close combat.
Gan Ning only ordered the shooters behind him to shoot briefly at Zhang Xiu's troops outside the city.
At the same time, he observed back and forth on the camp, wanting to explore Zhang Xiu's strength.
Zhang Xiu's side also used some arrows to suppress it first, and both sides only attacked tentatively.
However, as the battle progressed, the pace of Zhang Xiu's attack became faster and faster.
Because Zhang Xiu found that Gan Ning didn't seem to have any plans to go out of the camp to fight.
So their only choice was to break the camp and enter the camp to go head-to-head with Gan Ning.
After Gan Ning saw that Zhang Xiu's attack was becoming more and more sharp, his forbearance attitude gradually changed, and he always wanted to lead his soldiers and horses to kill and kill more than 10,000 enemy troops.
However, just when he was puzzled and planned to lead the soldiers and horses to charge and fight with Zhang Xiu.
Some spies on the other two sides immediately rushed over, as if they were planning to report the situation elsewhere to Gan Ning.
"Report! General front line emergency! ”
Several horses galloped from the other directions of the camp and went straight to Gan Ning's location.
At this time, Gan Ning was attracted by Zhang Xiu's figure, and after hearing the news detected by the spies, he immediately came to his senses.
"What's going on?"
"The general is not good, our army found an enemy army of 20,000 on the right side of the camp!"
"Report! The general also found an enemy army of 20,000 on the left side! ”
For a while, the two spies sent bad news to Gan Ning.
After hearing the words of these spies, Gan Ning's expression suddenly changed greatly.
"There are 20,000 enemy troops on the left, and 20,000 horses on the right?"
"Plus it's more than 50,000 people here? In this way, didn't Guan Yu come out of the nest? ”
With a little calculation, Gan Ning was able to know that the 30,000 troops he was stationed here were not Guan Yu's opponents at all.
"No, it can't be! Didn't Guan Yu lead the 30,000 troops in his headquarters to surround Nanzheng City, how could he have the time to lead 50,000 troops to deal with us at this time? ”
"Could it be that he withdrew all the soldiers and horses that surrounded Nanzheng City, came over directly, and fought with us?"
Gan Ning, who realized that something was wrong, had just learned the news, and then looked at Zhang Xiu in front of the gate of the camp.
At this time, it was also a sudden realization.
No wonder Zhang Xiu wanted to provoke himself and attract him out of the city just now.
Once he really fell into the plan and led the soldiers and horses out of the city to stop with Zhang Xiu, he would definitely not be able to leave in a short time, and then Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses would be able to immediately contain these armies under his command.
When the 20,000 troops on the left and right rushed over, the 30,000 troops of Naganning would be wiped out.
At this time, Gan Ning was glad that he did not go out of the camp to fight Zhang Xiu, and on the other hand, he started immediately, ordering his 30,000 troops to be divided into three parts.
One part sat in the center to deal with Zhang Xiu, and the other two parts each sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the enemy troops on the left and right flanks.
Although there are only 30,000 horses in this camp.
But in the face of an enemy army of only 50,000 men, Gan Ning believed that he was not completely incapable of fighting.
The difference in strength is not particularly large, and there are camps as simple protection, Ganning's side actually still occupies some geographical advantages.
They only need to hold on to a stalemate with the enemy army here for a day or two, which is enough to wait for reinforcements from Huang Zhong in Xicheng!
As soon as Huang Zhong's reinforcements arrived, the situation would immediately turn around.
At that time, Gan Ning, who was in the minority of forces, would inevitably join Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses to hunt down Guan Yu's army.
It's only a day, and Gan Ning can still afford to wait.
He had great faith in his men.
The battle in front of the Ganning camp began like this, with the left and right flanks mainly defensive.
And the front guarded by Gan Ning himself is mainly attacking. When the camp was crumbling, Gan Ning personally opened the camp and led 3,000 guards to kill it.
