Gan Ning originally had a lot of doubts in his heart.

But after he saw the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Ren appear on the battlefield.

All doubts are answered.

He finally understood why Guan Yu, who should have run out of ammunition and food for so many days, was able to steadily suppress the rebellion of his soldiers and horses.

It turned out that these soldiers and horses under Guan Yu had united with Liu Zhang in Nanzheng City.

Most of Guan Yujun's grain and grass were obtained from Liu Zhang.

Only in this way can his soldiers and horses not lack food and grass in a short period of time.

Moreover, after uniting Liu Zhang's men and horses, Guan Yu's troops increased greatly, and if he gathered the forces of both sides to come to Gan Ning's camp to fight against Gan Ning, with Gan Ning's 30,000 soldiers and horses, they were not their opponents at all.

After realizing this, Gan Ning didn't plan to fight Zhang Xiu here at all.

If it was just Zhang Xiu alone, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, Gan Ning was naturally not afraid, even if there were another 10,000 enemy troops, Gan Ning would be absolutely sure, and he could take his own men and horses to defeat all the enemies who would attack in the future.

However, after Gan Ning knew that these reinforcements were Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses, the meaning was different.

He knew that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Nanzheng City, and once Liu Zhang and Guan Yu's men joined forces, Guan Yu would definitely be able to gather more than 100,000 troops in a short period of time.

These soldiers and horses are enough to make Gan Ning, who has only 30,000 people, powerless to fight back.

Now the people and horses that appear around this big camp have exceeded Gan Ning's expectations, and these forces will only continue to increase, not weaken, so Gan Ning is not willing to fight Zhang Xiu at this time.

"Quick, withdraw the troops!"

Gan Ning immediately shouted at the soldiers around him, and asked the adjutant general around him to pass on the news, ordering the army here to retreat slowly and stop attacking.

Only by retreating first in the large camp, uniting with other soldiers and horses in the large camp, gathering 30,000 troops, and jointly fighting against Guan Yu's army, can they have a chance to block the other party.

Otherwise, if they are separated, they will be divided and killed by the other party.

"Don't let them escape, pounce on me, restrain them, especially Gan Ning, don't let him escape!"

Zhang Xiu also heard Gan Ning's words, and at the same time saw that Gan Ning's army had stopped continuing to charge outside and began to shrink the defensive line.

Naturally, Gan Ning will not be allowed to leave so easily, once Gan Ning is contained and the main general's camp is lost, there is naturally no possibility of defense.

Guan Yu's army can easily break through this large battalion.

Zhang Xiu's vanguard army, because of the assistance of his senior brother Zhang Ren, the morale rose all of a sudden.

Originally, the elite who were subject to Gan Ning everywhere, but because of the arrival of reinforcements, the momentum came up, and the pace of attacking Gan Ning also accelerated.

changed from defense to counterattack, which caused the speed of Gan Ning's retreat to be contained, but fortunately, the distance from Gan Ning and the others just now was not far, and they had time to withdraw.

When Gan Ning led the army and retreated to the camp, he happened to catch up, and the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings were also killed and retreated by Guan Yu's army.

An army of 30,000 people, with a lot of losses, was trapped in this large camp.

Gan Ning began to feel the pressure.

"General! The big thing is not good, we are trapped in this big camp, the soldiers on the left and right flanks have sent information, saying that they have encountered a crazy attack by the enemy, General Zhang Yongyu asked me to ask you, do you want to fight to the death here, or let him stay and break the rear, let the general break through first! ”

Zhang Yongyu is the first batch of generals to come out of the military academy under Liu Zheng, and he is the same batch of students as Wenpin.

Because of his outstanding achievements, Wenpin has been successfully promoted to Liu Zheng's subordinate, and the existence of his left arm and right arm has won Liu Zheng's trust.

And Zhang Yongyu, the second-echelon people, were scattered and disrupted, and were sent to various military camps to act as deputy generals.

At that time, Gan Ning's subordinates were lacking two lieutenant generals, so Zhang Yongyu followed Gan Ning and became the general under Gan Ning.

When Gan Ning heard the words of his own soldiers at this time, he was immediately furious.

"Fuck it, what do you mean to let me break through first? Is Lao Tzu Gan Ning a person who would leave his brother behind and run for his life alone? ”

"You go and give Zhang Yongyu's bastard boy an order, just say fight to the death! Everyone, you must not take a step back, otherwise military law will deal with it! I have already ordered Su Fei to send a message to His Majesty, we only need to hold on here for a day, General Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses will definitely come to support us, and when the time comes, we can kill all these dog thieves!" ”

Gan Ning shouted at his own soldiers, and at the same time did not have time to waste here, while directing the other men and horses to shrink the defensive line, and at the same time commanding the men and horses to deal with the enemy rushing up from the periphery and engage them.

On the side of the camp, although the door of the camp was broken, the fences on the periphery still existed, and they could not be cleared in a short time.

It can only charge in waves.

can rush forward one after another, but they can't directly rush into Gan Ning's core army formation, but after killing and wounding many soldiers, their offensive rhythm has slowly slowed down.

Anyway, Gan Ning and these people are now trapped here, unable to escape from here, and Zhang Xiu's task has been achieved, so he is not in a hurry, just waiting for Guan Yu to come in person, and then make plans.

The two sides gradually stalemate in wave after wave of charges.

And Su Fei's side, because he had already left from the rear in advance, came directly to Xicheng to report the news.

After three hours of galloping, he finally arrived, Xicheng.

West Side.

Liu Zheng is still discussing with Huang Zhong about the recent movements on Guan Yu's side.

"Han Sheng, another day has passed, it's been seventeen days, and Guan Yu's subordinates still haven't made any changes?"

"Your Majesty, the information given to us by our spies has not changed much, Guan Yu has not only not reduced the distribution of grain and grass recently, but has increased the decentralization of some grain and grass, could it be that he knows that his grain and grass are running out, and he plans to make a last stand?"

Among Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, there are Liu Zheng's hidden fine works, but the identity of these fine works is very low, and they cannot bring Liu Zheng a lot of detailed information, and can only deduce some information from the daily rations.

In the first few days, Guan Yu did reduce the distribution of some grain, but in the last few days, it has not reduced the distribution of grain, but has increased it.

This made Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong feel strange, so they thought that Guan Yu was planning to make a last effort.

"Strange, strange, what is Guan Yu's idea, do you want us to bring someone over to fight Guan Yu directly, and test it?"
