There were no captains at the head of the city, only the fake army Hou Beitang Yu and less than 200 soldiers.

Beitangyu and Pan Hua are Xu Chu's old department, and Pan Hua was a good brother at that time, and later went to the martial arts hall to study together, and was slightly inferior to Pan Hua in the graduation assessment, so he had to be Pan Hua's deputy aggrievedly.

When they saw Gan Ning's Jinfan, the original county soldiers in Wu County were all stupid, and then they saw Gan Ning leave the boat and go ashore, walking towards the city, one by one, rolling and climbing, and no one refused to stay at the head of the city and wait for death. Beitang Yu simply let them all go down to the city, leaving only his subordinates to guard the city. Wuxian is easy to defend and difficult, not to mention that there are only more than 1,000 people in Ganning, even if it is doubled, he is confident that he will hold Wuxian.

According to Yin Duanjiao's tactics, he did not rush to shoot, but waited for Gan Ning to enter the range of ordinary bows and arrows before shooting with a strong crossbow to frustrate the enemy's spirit, and the results were very good, and Gan Ning lost more than 30 people before coming to the city. Seeing someone wielding iron claws and preparing to enter the city, Beitang Yu immediately made adjustments, allowing the archers to suppress the shots, the crossbowmen to target those with iron claws in their hands for precise sniping, and the others to prepare for engagement.

The south wall of Wuxian County is about three miles long, but Gan Ning and the others did not spread it out in an all-round way, but distributed at the gate of the city in a loose formation, above and below the city, only a few feet apart, not to mention well-trained archers, even if they closed their eyes and shot indiscriminately, they had a chance to shoot. Sixty crossbowmen fired with all their might, and at once twenty or thirty more were brought down.

In less than a meal, before and after, before even the city wall was touched, Gan Ning lost more than 50 people, and he was suddenly anxious. He snatched an iron claw, shook it with a whirring sound, and threw it at the head of the city, the iron claw fell on the head of the city, grabbed the battlements, Gan Ning pulled the iron chain in his left hand, and the knife in his right hand, and began to climb upward. As soon as Gan Ning attacked, other rangers followed suit, and many took off their iron claws.

Beitang Yu ordered the crossbowmen to shoot Gan Ning as he swung his sword and slashed at the Iron Claw. "Dangdang" two pieces of crisp sounds, the iron chain with the thickness of the little finger broke in response, and Gan Ning, who was about to climb to the head of the city, lost his support point and fell to the ground with a bang. Gan Ning was shocked, rolled on the spot, picked up the hook on the ground and guarded his body, several rangers rushed over, protected him with shields, and at the same time returned fire with bows and crossbows, suppressing in reverse.

Gan Ning withdrew half of the chain, looked at the brand-new fracture, and was so depressed that he wanted to curse.

The opponent not only has a sharpshooter, but also a sword that sharpens iron like clay.

The sound of "Ding Ding Dangdang" at the head of the city came and went, and several rangers' chains were cut off, and the rangers fell, some fell dizzy, some fell unconscious, and more people were shot by arrows and seriously injured.

Gan Ning was also injured. Although he has fine armor and his protective ability is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, but shooting at such a close range, no matter how good the fine armor is, he can't stop it, not to mention that Beitang takes special care of him and arranges three strong crossbowmen to deal with him. Without the protection of the hook, he was hit by two arrows in a short period of time, and although he did not hit the vital point, he also pierced through his body, and blood flowed.

Through the gap in the shield, the more Gan Ning looked, the more frightened he became. There were not many people at the head of the city, but they were well arranged, busy but not chaotic, and the crossbowmen took advantage of the rejection of the battlements to shoot non-stop, their movements were very familiar, and they shot quickly and steadily. Gan Ning looked at it for a while and understood that there were no sharpshooters in the city, and all the casualties were caused by these ordinary crossbowmen, especially those strong crossbowmen.

Looking at their movements, you can see that these crossbowmen are extremely confident in their marksmanship, so that they can play so consistently on the battlefield.

Gan Ning then asked another question, there were indeed swords in the city that were as sharp as clay, but they were not exclusive to a certain general, but almost everyone had one in their hands. The style of these knives is not new, and they are no different from ordinary ring-headed knives, but they are extremely sharp, and the chains that ordinary ring-headed knives may not be able to cut even a dozen times can be cut in front of these knives at most two or three times.

Could it be that the ordinary soldiers under Zhou Yu's tent are equipped with such weapons? Gan Ning didn't dare to think about it, and a cold air came out of his back.

In a few moments, more than thirty more people fell under the city, and the offensive was completely suppressed, and no one tried to enter the city again. Gan Ning hurriedly ordered to withdraw the range of the bow and crossbow. Standing on the steps, looking at the frightened subordinates, Gan Ning hated so much that he wanted to kick down the city wall and kill into the city. But he was well aware that the defenders of the city were well-trained and well-equipped, and that his losses would be very large if they were to be stormed.

His subordinates are all rangers who have followed him for many years, and they are his personal soldiers, if the loss is too great, Zhao Wei or Liu Yan will not make up for him, and he can only recruit new novices to replenish. Recruiting a novice requires money, provided that he gets the spoils of war, and he doesn't know how many defenders there are in the city, in case he pays heavy casualties and still fails to take Wuxian, it will be a big loss.

But there were nearly 100 casualties, and he didn't even climb the city, so he retreated, and the reputation of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning landed, and who would take him Gan Ning seriously in the future, Zhao Wei didn't know how to despise him.

Gan Ning's eyes rolled, gritted his teeth, and waved his hand. "Go to Zigui, copy their back road, and then find a way to kill them. His mother's took such a big advantage of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu must kill this thief chief. ”

——

The blue sky is like a wash, and a few white clouds move slowly, leisurely. A line of geese flew slowly under the white clouds in a herringbone shape, with elegant postures and a clear chirping from time to time.

But Chen Ji's mood was very anxious. He squatted behind the female wall, looking at the camp outside the city, his brows were tightly locked, his face was blown tightly by the cold wind of late autumn, his eyes were sore and painful, and he always felt that tears would flow like a spring in the next moment.

Outside the city, dozens of stone throwers are neatly arranged on the position, the long poles point straight to the blue sky, the craftsmen of the baggage battalion are nervously debugging, from time to time there is a straw bale full of soil smashed on the city wall, there is a loud sound, some cross the city, fall into the city, and hit the barracks or houses under the city. Every loud bang seemed to hit Chen Ji's heart, tossing his nerves that were about to burst.

Farther away, thousands of soldiers were practicing, and although they were far away, they couldn't see their expressions clearly, and they couldn't hear their roars, but Chen Ji could still feel the strong morale. This is in stark contrast to the head of the city.

Since Zhou Yu came to the city, Jiangling has become an isolated city, and there is no news of Liu Xun or the Yizhou army. He sent a lot of heralds to get in touch with Liu Xun, but it wouldn't be long before the bodies of those heralds would appear under the city. After several days, no one dared to leave the city, and the hope of reinforcements was completely cut off. The morale of the defenders in the city was getting worse day by day, and now the city was lifeless, except for the sound of the autumn wind blowing the battle flag, there was not even a person to speak.

So he gave up and stopped doing unprofitable things. All he could do was to look at the city every day, see Zhou Yu making all kinds of preparations for the siege, and wait for the battle to begin. Although Zhou Yu was a brave soldier, his army was limited, with a total of only 20,000 men, and there were nearly 10,000 soldiers in the city. With the usual ratio of forces, he has plenty of chances to hold Gangneung, as long as he can boost morale.

He was ready, Gangneung City was scraped by him, and all the money was in his hands. Under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man, and he is ready to use the money to stimulate morale, confront Zhou Yu, and see how long Zhou Yu can hold out and how much sacrifice he has made.

Liu Xun said that Huang Yi has a clever plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao and fight Wan, as long as he waits for a month or two, Nanyang will inevitably change. After surviving these two months, they don't have to worry about Sun Ce's revenge.

Glory and wealth, in one fell swoop.
