Although the night is dark, there is a certain visibility in the night with stars and the moon.

Guan Yu's camp is gourd-shaped, Ganning camp in the north is large, and Guan Yu's camp in the south is small.

Each is a complete barracks, each with horns on each other.

At this moment, the drums vibrated and the sound of fighting was endless. Zhou Yu, Lü Dai, and Cheng Pu launched attacks on Guan Yu's camp from the south and west respectively.

And Han Dang led 20,000 elite soldiers to attack the Ganning camp from the east.

It's all onslaught.

An army of 40,000 attacked Guan Yu and the camp of Ganning, and the two armies combined were only about 14,000 people, which was very dangerous in terms of numbers.

Because Guan Ping attacked Pan Zhang before, he only easily conquered Pan Zhang's camp with four times the force.

But in fact, Guan Yu guarded it very well.

First of all, Guan Yu's army is very elite, and the armor rate far exceeds that of Pan Zhang.

Secondly, the number of Jiangdong soldiers did not exceed four times that of Guan Yu and Gan Ning's army.

In the end, a war of 20,000 men is definitely different from a war of 60,000 men.

And Zhou Yu's biggest opportunity is to rely on Han Dang's elite to break through Gan Ning, a little-known guy.

But the situation is not as easy as expected.

That little-known guy resisted Han Dang's attack.

The fierce battle has been for an hour, and it has been half an hour since Han Dang joined the war. However, Guan Yu and Gan Ning guarded the two large camps in the north and south very well, and there was no instability.

South, under the light of torches. Under the banner of "Zhou" and "Cheng", there are many cavalry as pro-soldiers, and Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu are surrounded by pro-soldiers.

"Although intelligence shows that this group of elites under Guan Yu has enough iron armor, even if they fight with Cao Jun in the field, they will not be weak. But I didn't expect it to be so strong, Guan Yu's soldiers, at least half of them are wearing iron armor. The old general Cheng Pu's face was a little helpless, and then he said: "Besides, that Gan Ning, in the end, is also the general appointed by Liu Bei to lead the troops, although his reputation is very small, and he is a slave with five surnames, but he guards it really well." ”

At this point, Zhou Yu also sighed and said, "These leading generals under the command of the Guan family really can't be underestimated. ”

"It won't be long before the sky dawns. Guan Yu will inevitably send someone to ask Zhang Fei for help, if after dawn, Zhang Fei will be killed. We fought another fierce battle with Guan Yu, and the soldiers were damaged, and when we suddenly met, the army would be broken. Therefore, before dawn, Guan Yu must be defeated, otherwise he will not be able to stay for a long time. If it goes on like this, it is absolutely impossible to break Guan Yu. Ordered Han Dang to divide his troops to attack Guan Yu's camp from the east. ”

Cheng Pu was not optimistic, he despised Gan Ning and regarded it as a weakness. Send Han Dang to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to attack Ganning. Now seeing that Gan Ning is stable, he will divide his troops to attack Guan Yu again.

Although these are two large camps, they are close together to rescue each other.

But now, Cheng Pu has nothing to do. Always have to try. Besides, Cheng Pu also understands a little, maybe it is to let the forces of Gan Ning and Guan Yu move each other?

"No." Cheng Pu agreed, and then called a cavalryman and asked him to pass the order to Han Dang.

This fight is absolutely life-and-death. It doesn't end until dawn.

In the east of the camp, Han Dang sat on a war horse to supervise the battle, he looked up at the camp of Ganning, and his face was serious.

"I can't imagine that although these five family slaves are unknown, they are so stable in guarding him, I look down on him."

At this moment, the people sent by Cheng Pu rode their horses in front of Han Dang, turned over and dismounted, and said: "General Han, most of the governors have orders, and Gan Ning is difficult to get down." He divided his troops to attack Guan Yu, so as to attack from three sides. ”

"Okay." Although Han Dang was a little unwilling, he also knew that it would be absolutely no good to fight with Gan Ning like this.

It will only increase casualties.

In terms of casualties, the Jiangdong soldiers must have been huge. That's the difference between defense and offense.

"Order General Li and General Chen to divide their troops to attack Guan Yu's camp. Flank on three sides. Han Dang also gave an order.

"No." The heralds went down, and soon after, the two banners of "Li" and "Chen" turned to the Guan Yu camp, and thousands of elite soldiers followed and attacked the Guan Yu camp.

The north of Guan Yu's camp is the Ganning camp, and only from the east, south, and west can attack, so it is a three-sided attack.

In front of the big tent, Guan Yu was still standing on horseback, Zhou Cang was carrying Guan Yu's big knife, and the faces of the two ministers were not moving, like two sculptures.

"My lord. The East was also attacked. "One of the horsemen came suddenly on horseback and reported.

"My lord, the Oriental Ma Ben attacked Gan Ning, and when he saw that he couldn't attack it, he changed his strategy. Do you want to ask General Gan for help? Zhou Cang turned his head and asked.

"Not necessarily. I have 5,000 elite troops to garrison it in three directions, and we can still hold it. On the contrary, Gan Ning's command is actually not elite, if Gan Ning divides troops to help me, I'm afraid I will have problems. The movement of soldiers and horses will also cause chaos, which may also be Zhou Yu's strategy. Push my own soldiers up, leaving only one of the team's own soldiers, and the herald will be fine. ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said.

This world-leading general is still very confident, confident in the strength of his own people, to the point of arrogance.

Of course, Guan Yu is a strong and arrogant person.

"No." Zhou Cang responded and dispatched the remaining 500 ironclad soldiers to the east, south, and west to strengthen the defense.

Immediately, Guan Yu sent someone to tell Gan Ning not to care, just guard his camp.

Ganning Battalion.

Gan Ning still did not go up to the camp wall, and like Guan Yu, he rode his horse outside the big tent of the Chinese army. He also had two troops under his command, one was an ironclad soldier and the other was an ordinary soldier.

This is left just in case.

At this moment, the news from the front kept coming, and Gan Ning knew that his corporal was guarding well.

"Although this batch of soldiers is not as good as the original Xinye's soldiers and horses, and they can fight, they are not weak brigades. Some training strategies invented by Guan Yangwu can enable soldiers to quickly form combat effectiveness. ”

Gan Ning thought to herself.

But when Guan Ping was the Sima of other departments, Liu Bei asked his generals to go to observe, and Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Zhang Fei and others all learned some skills.

It can be said that the entire training method of the Guan army comes from the Guan Ping lineage.

Running, military discipline, and a myriad of other methods.

It's just that there are increases and decreases because of the difference in the generals who lead the troops.

At this time, another fast horse came down from the front line, and the knight on the horse galloped over, and after reaching Gan Ning, he turned over and dismounted and said: "General, the Eastern Army divides its troops to attack the main prince's camp. ”

Gan Ning immediately frowned and ordered: "Li Junhou, Wang Junhou, the two of you will lead your troops to support the lord." ”

"No." The two soldiers in front of Gan Ning agreed in unison, intending to go to support. For Gan Ning, the situation on the lord's side is, of course, more important than himself.

But at this moment, the people sent by Guan Yu also arrived, asking Gan Ningmo to transfer troops. Gan Ning could only endure it. Guan Yu and Gan Ning guarded their own camp, and they were impregnable.

And this is indeed Zhou Yu's strategy.

Fiercely attack Guan Yu, and let Gan Ning transfer troops to support Guan Yu.

Under the banner of the word "Zhou", Zhou Yu ordered: "Go and ask General Lu Dai to give up attacking the Guan Yu camp and attack the Ganning camp to the north." Ask General Han to join forces and attack Ganning. ”

"No." The herald answered and rode away. Soon after, Ben attacked Lü Dai in the west of Guan Yu's camp and turned to attack Ganning's camp.

Han Dang also regrouped his army and continued to attack the Ganning camp.

And because Gan Ning did not transfer troops to increase Guan Yu, he still had two troops in his hand for a while, so he divided his troops to defend the west and east, and he was still impregnable for a while.

Zhou Yu's plan did not succeed.

Whether it was planning to lure the enemy into ambushing Guan Yu deeply, or attacking Gan Ning and Guan Yu, or the mobilization of tactics, they were all unsuccessful.

Guan Yu may not be able to have a grand strategy, and he is not a good lord, but as a battlefield veteran, he has an extremely keen sense of smell.

Willpower like steel. It also has a strong army.

The military quality is not necessarily worse than Zhou Yu.

If it weren't for the Jiangdong rats betraying the covenant and sneaking attack, Mi Fang and others opening the city and surrendering, Guan Yu would have been defeated? Guan Yu didn't say that he would advance to the Central Plains, but it would be appropriate to capture Fancheng and then return to Xiangyang.

As long as Guan Yu is allowed to invade Xiangfan, he will keep Nanjun and public security.

In history, Shu Han may not have achieved nothing.

All in all, Zhou Yu was doomed.

Tactical stealing?

A single decapitation?

Impossible.

So when the rooster crowed and the fish belly turned white, Zhou Yu could only order the withdrawal of troops. This battle was a bloody battle. The generals of Jiangdong paid a heavy price.

None of the soldiers flinched.

The generals are brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers are also good soldiers. It's not them who are wrong, it's me Zhou Yu.

It was Guan Yu who won.

This guy is too strong.

Although the Guan family did not rely on their own strength to achieve victory in this war. If it weren't for Shamoko's sudden rebellion, the situation would have been different.

But strategy is also one of the ways to win the war.

They had also sent someone to contact Liu Zhang before. If Yan Yan hadn't joined the war, the Guan family would not have fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage in the early stage.

Now the situation, Jiangdong has to withdraw its troops.

And the hard blow before leaving, because of Guan Yu's toughness and Gan Ning's unexpected toughness, led to a failed result.

The Jiangdong soldiers suffered heavy losses.

The seriously injured soldiers are destined not to be taken away.

The same was true for some moderately wounded soldiers.

The dead ironclad soldiers could not untie the ironclad and take them away, and the weapons were also lost.

Definitely a lot of losses.

But Zhou Yu did not regret it, because this was the only chance to turn the tables with a hard blow. It's just that now it turns out that this opportunity is not so easy to grasp.

It was already dawn, and the Jiangdong soldiers who had attacked in the middle of the night were already tired. The offensive inevitably eased, and so did Guan Yu's defenders.

Countless corpses were left behind on both sides, and the smell of blood was pungent.

"Withdraw troops. After the order of Han Dang. Lv Dai, Cheng Gong is the pioneer, and I am in the middle lane. Take all the wounded soldiers you can with you. Large-scale spies were sent to listen to the south, north, and west, to guard against Guan Yu's pursuit, to guard against Huo Jun and Fu Tong's second army in Dangyang, and to guard against Guan Ping, who was seeking names, and to divide their forces to attack us. Huang Gai, who stayed in the camp, was ordered to pull out the camp and withdraw his troops first. After Huang Gai withdrew his troops, Zhou Tai withdrew his troops again. ”

Zhou Yu announced the withdrawal of troops and made orderly arrangements for the steps of the withdrawal.

This last effort failed. There's no way around it. If you can afford to gamble, you must be able to afford to lose. At present, there is no other way in Jiangdong, so I can only go back to meet Sun Quan, and then retreat to Changsha, Xiling, and Exian.

Leave the troops to defend the town, and divide the troops to go back to Jiangdong to suppress Shanyue.

"Because of my willfulness, let alone Nanjun. Even Jingnan, which could have been safely obtained, lost three counties. Although Zhou Yu did not regret this hard blow, he regretted it a little bit for himself to go north.

Although the strategy is correct, occupying Nam-gun is very beneficial to Koto.

But it didn't turn out to be good first, he was wrong.

Zhou Yu finally took a deep look at Guan Yu's camp, the flag with the word "Guan", and then resolutely reined in his horse and headed south. Immediately, the Jiangdong soldiers retreated in an orderly manner.

Cheng Pu and Lu Dai were the vanguard, Zhou Yu led thousands of people in the headquarters, plus the wounded soldiers in the middle, and Han Dang led the elite soldiers to break off.

Large-scale spies were sent to listen to the movements in the north, west, and south, and to guard against Guan Ping, Huo Jun, Fu Tong, Guan Yu, Gan Ning, and Zhang Fei.

It is to ignore the East.

As Zhuge Liang said, Zhou Tai is currently monitoring Mingqiu, and Huang Gai is also leading 20,000 elite soldiers to be stationed in the camp of Jiangdongnan County.

Cheng Yang was simply a sheep under a pack of wolves, trembling. The people of Jiangdong also did not expect Zhuge Liang to be so bold, with only a few thousand militiamen, guarding an empty city.

The elite soldiers are exhausted, and they are ambushed somewhere.

Be bold and reckless, and cause trouble.

Zhuge Liang is by no means a person who keeps to himself.

And with Zhou Yu's order, Jiangdong soldiers simply left the seriously wounded, only took away the soldiers who could be taken away, and left behind the corpses in one place.

These corpses are even ordinary soldiers who have bows, arrows, blades and other weapons, and after the ironclad soldiers die, the ironclad can't be taken away.

These iron armors stripped from the dead will of course have all kinds of damage. But repairing an iron armor is much cheaper than building one.

In this war, the people of Jiangdong not only paid for casualties, but also paid for wealth. Guan Yu paid for casualties, but obtained a batch of weapons and a batch of iron armor.

With such a calculation, the Jiangdong people have indeed suffered a big loss.

That's the risk of taking a risk. This is the price of throwing ironclad soldiers into attacking a camp when you are not sure.

When the ironclad soldier dies, the ironclad is the opponent's.

Anyway, Guan Yu and Gan Ning finally held the camp after a fierce battle in the middle of the night. Guan Yu has never rested, and has been riding his horse in front of the big tent.

Although he is as strong as a tiger and has strong blood and energy, he is really unhappy after being frozen in the middle of the night. And this fierce battle, although it is nothing to Guan Yu.

But it's not a small scene.

Zhou Yu invested as many as forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers, and within two or three hours, launched a crazy attack. If it weren't for Guan Yu's elite loyalty, if it weren't for Gan Ning's ability.

If you were someone else, it would have been over a long time ago.

However, Guan Yu is very confident, very strong and arrogant, from beginning to end, he thinks he can win. But after winning, Guan Yu still maintained a considerable amount of caution.

"Order the soldiers, rescue the wounded. But don't let your guard down, neither collect the weapons and armor left behind by the Jiangdong Army, nor try to attack. Stick to the camp and wait for reinforcements (Zhang Fei). ”

Guan Yu moved his arm, which was a little stiff from the cold, and gave a cautious order.

"No." Zhou Cang promised and passed the order. So the Guan army, which had been fighting fiercely for half the night, cheered up and began to treat the wounded, and continued to be on guard, waiting for reinforcements.

The same is true of the Ganning camp.
