Chapter 985: Who's Coming?
The sound of the trumpet sounded to indicate that the distance was not far.
Gan Ning rode on the war horse, and in the direction where the sound came from, he had only run for a while, and he had already noticed that something was wrong.
In the distance, several watchtowers built by Sergeant Ganning had begun to give signals, short, hurried sounds.
As the sound of the horn gradually passes. Gan Ning's gaze also saw some black figures near the lookout.
After seeing those black figures, Gan Ning's eyes immediately shocked.
He was all too familiar with the outfits of these people.
Isn't it the soldiers of Guan Yu's army who are not far from them.
When he saw Guan Yujun's men and horses appear in front of his camp, Gan Ning immediately became puzzled.
"What's going on? Aren't Guan Yujun's men and horses besieging Nanzheng City? Why did you suddenly come to our camp? What are they trying to do? ”
Gan Ning asked a question.
After Su Fei beside him heard Gan Ning's words, he was also puzzled.
"I'm also curious, the spies said before that Guan Yujun's soldiers and horses were confronting Liu Zhang from Nanzheng City, why did they suddenly come to our camp?"
"No matter, let's go over and take a look first, if Guan Yujun wants to attack our army, just give him a little color and take a look!"
Gan Ning was never afraid of Guan Yu, after all, Guan Yu's soldiers and horses were only 60,000, except for half of the soldiers and horses who were besieging Nanzheng City, the remaining part of the soldiers and horses were at most equal to him.
With equal troops, Gan Ning believed that he had the ability to fight Guan Yu.
Gan Ning, who had already sensed that the situation was not good, immediately rushed to the front of the camp with Su Fei.
As soon as he approached the camp, he immediately felt that the situation was even worse.
In front of the large camp, some enemy troops appeared densely. The number of people can be guessed at a glance, and it is definitely tens of thousands of horses.
Originally, Gan Ning thought that it was just a small fight, and Guan Yu sent soldiers and horses to spy on the situation of his own camp, but now when he saw so many soldiers and horses appearing in front of the camp, Gan Ning immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Su Fei, immediately gather men to set up a formation in front of the camp to prevent the enemy from charging and crushing our camp!"
Gan Ning said as he rushed to the front and prepared to take over the command of his own 30,000 army.
When Gan Ning and the others had not yet arrived, the commanders of the soldiers and horses here were all handled by some deputy generals, and now that Gan Ning is here, those men and horses have gradually gathered around Gan Ning.
began to report to Gan Ning what had happened.
"General, you are finally here, the big thing is not good, our army found a group of enemy troops not long ago, and quickly approached the camp, and it was too late to report to you, so we can only send troops and horses to stop it first!"
The lieutenant general made a long story short, and began to talk about how these soldiers and horses appeared, and reported to Gan Ning.
It turned out that this was the vanguard army led by Guan Yu's subordinate Zhang Xiu, and the number was not large, only more than 10,000 people, but it was enough to attract the attention of Gan Ning's army.
Guan Yu launched an attack on Gan Ning's soldiers and horses, and did not directly use tens of thousands of troops to charge directly.
Instead, he first sent Zhang Xiu to lead 10,000 vanguard main forces to attract the attention of Gan Ning and others.
After restraining the gaze of Gan Ning and others, his subordinates led an army of 20,000 to suppress and support Zhang Xiu from the rear.
gradually became involved with Gan Ning's soldiers and horses, so that Gan Ning could not react instantly and retreat from here.
Instead, it will give him greater confidence and stay here to continue to fight with Guan Yu's soldiers and horses.
After all, if the army is pressurized, it is far better than Gan Ning's soldiers and horses, which will indeed make Gan Ning feel pressure.
In case Gan Ning felt that he was invincible to Guan Yu and withdrew his troops directly, it would make Guan Yu a little helpless and unable to defeat Gan Ning, but it was in vain that they had been preparing for such a long time of plotting.
After Zhang Xiu's army appeared here, he was not in a hurry to attack, Zhang Xiu himself only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if these soldiers and horses directly attacked Gan Ning's camp, there was almost no chance of victory, and their role was not to attack the camp, but to attract Gan Ning's attention.
As soon as he appeared in the camp of the Ganning army, Zhang Xiu immediately charged at the watchtowers around the camp, and first attacked the lookout platform responsible for watching the enemy's soldiers and horses.
The two sides confronted each other in front of the camp.
Gan Ning stepped out of the army behind him.
glanced at the enemy soldiers outside the camp from a distance, and after searching for the enemy's general, his eyes stayed on Zhang Xiu's body.
After not seeing Guan Yu's figure, the armor on Zhang Xiu's body naturally made Gan Ning understand that these people were commanded by Zhang Xiu.
"Who's coming?"
Gan Ning didn't know who Zhang Xiu was, in the intelligence they collected, Zhang Xiu was such a number one person, and in Guan Yu's army, he was not a powerful person, even if there was his information in the intelligence, it would not let Gan Ning remember Zhang Xiu's appearance.
That's why Gan Ning asked Zhang Xiu to see who he was, if he knew who the leader of these horses was, Gan Ning would be able to analyze the current situation again.
Zhang Xiu heard Gan Ning standing on the wooden tower and asking his name.
Just sneered, he didn't answer Gan Ning, but continued to send his own people, and after demolishing a few watchtowers, he led the army to the gate of the camp.
"Your Excellency is General Gan Ning?"
Zhang Xiu asked Gan Ning in a soft voice at the camp.
Gan Ning looked at Zhang Xiu again, thinking back and forth in his mind about who Zhang Xiu was. However, after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't remember who this person was, so I was a little helpless.
"This general is Gan Ning, since you know Lao Tzu's name, and you dare to come to attack, are you a little too underestimating me?"
"Hahaha, give you a face, call you a general, do you really think Lao Tzu respects you?"
"Today I was ordered to come to encircle and suppress the rebels, and if I know each other, I will open the door of the stockade and come out to surrender, otherwise you will not have such good luck when my army enters it."
Zhang Xiu sneered, he didn't have a good impression of an enemy general like Gan Ning, and this time his order was to contain Gan Ning, so he naturally had to find a way to provoke Gan Ning, so that Gan Ning could stay and fight with him.
Gan Ning was said by Zhang Xiu, and he was indeed immediately annoyed and angry, Gan Ning, who was still calm, saw more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the enemy military region, and dared to come to call for battle, where could he bear it, he immediately got angry and wanted to go out and fight with Zhang Xiu.
"Ah, dog thief, dare to underestimate me Gan Ning, today I will let you see how powerful I am!"
Gan Ning said that he was going to lead the soldiers and horses out of the city, but he was stopped by Su Fei on the side.
