Sun Ce felt that he had lost face, so he ordered the army to retreat to a dangerous place and set up a camp, and ordered the rear to continuously transport grain and grass. Sun Ce didn't dare to fight easily, first, he and Han Xuan's battle would fail, and his morale would be low, and he would have to wait for the grain and grass supplies from the rear to arrive before he could fight again, and second, he had to wait for the soldiers who had traveled long distances to recover their strength.

Han Xuan saw that Sun Ce was stubbornly defending the dangerous place and did not fight, and also ordered the whole army not to attack. Sun Ce sent scouts to constantly inspect Han Xuan's military situation, and the scouts reported: "General, I see from a high place that Han Xuanjun has very few earthen stoves when he cooks, and there are only about 8,000 stoves, but Han Xuan's camp is covered by flags and the sun, and the patrol soldiers have never seen a few. ”

Sun Ce asked the scout to go down and continue to investigate, and discussed with Cheng Pu and the others: "What do you think Han Xuan's move means? ”

Cheng Pu said: "Isn't Han Xuan's reduction intention to withdraw troops? But why is there no sign of a decrease in the number of soldiers? ”

Another day passed, and the scout came to report that Han Xuanjun's earthen stove had been reduced to 5,000 stoves. After hearing this, Sun Ce laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is Han Xuan's plan to follow Sun Bin to increase troops and reduce the stove. Han Xuan'er, when I don't read military books, yes? Ordered the whole army to defend strictly, and be vigilant at night when Han Xuan's army came to attack the camp. ”

Han Dang bowed to Sun Ce and said, "The lord is familiar with military books, and he has won the art of war from his father, General Sun Wentai. Han Xuan's small plan can hide from the lord! ”

Sun Ce and the generals laughed, and Han Xuanjun's more stoves meant that there were more people eating, and fewer people eating when there were fewer stoves. During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin used the strategy of increasing troops and reducing the focus to lure Pang Juan to pursue, thus defeating Pang Juan. Sun Ce thought that Han Xuan must have secretly increased his troops, and Cheng Pu faintly felt that something was wrong.

A few days later, the scout came to report again, and Han Xuanjun's earthen stove was reduced to 3,000 stoves. Sun Ce was shocked and wondered: "If Han Xuan implements the plan of increasing his troops and reducing the stove, with such a small number of earthen stoves, how can his tens of thousands of troops starve to death?" No way! But what's the deal with so many soldiers? ”

Sun Ce decided to personally lead an elite army to inspect, only to see that there was still any army in Han Xuan's camp, which was already an empty camp. Han Xuanjun has really withdrawn! Sun Ce was clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

Cheng Pu and others inspected the "soldiers" in Han Xuan's military camp, and they turned out to be scarecrows, and the scarecrows that Han Xuan made these days are vivid. Han Xuan put on clothes and armor on them, just like real soldiers. Due to the distance of the scouts when they inspected them, and Han Xuan had people stir up dust in the camp, the scouts could not distinguish whether these were real people or dummies.

Sun Ce pulled out the ancient ingot knife and slashed at several scarecrows in anger, he still fell for Han Xuan's plan, but he didn't know where Han Xuan's army went after withdrawing.

In fact, after Han Xuan secretly withdrew his troops in batches, he led tens of thousands of troops to come to Shicheng as if falling from the sky. Gan Ning also sent troops from Niu Zhu to join Han Xuan's division and attack Shicheng together, although Zhu Zhi defended the city, Han Xuan had many soldiers. He didn't have time to send a letter to Sun Ce, and Shicheng was captured and fell into the hands of Han Xuan.

Sun Ce finally received the news of the fall of Shicheng and led his army back to help Zhu Zhi. When Sun Ce arrived in Meiling, he learned that Han Xuan had sent the general Gan Ning to lead the naval army to attack Danglikou, and Xu Yi's naval army was defeated, so Gan Ning led the naval army to garrison Danglikou.

Sun Ce was furious, and Han Xuan was as unpredictable as a loach, so he had to personally lead the navy to conquer Gan Ning. When the river surface of Likou was on the river, Gan Ning used two huge Mengchong warships to cross the river, tied the big stone pier with a large palm cable to fix the battleship, placed thousands of soldiers on the ship, and shot staggered with bows and crossbows, flying arrows like rain, and Sun Ce's army could not advance.

Dong Xi and Ling Jie were the vanguard of Sun Ce's army, and each of them led a hundred brave soldiers, each wearing two layers of armor, and rode a large ship to break into the Mengchong giant ship in Ganning. Han Xuanjun on Meng Chong had a lot of bows and arrows, and the death squad led by Dong Xi and Ling Cao still had some of them shot in the face without protection by stray arrows, and when the death squad rushed to Meng Chong's side, there were only dozens of people left.

Sun Ce had already ordered: "In any case, the two ships must be separated and the road to attack will be opened." ”

Sun Ce's death squad soldiers rushed to the ship one after another, slashing the cable with various blades, but unexpectedly, the cable used by Gan Ning was very strong, and all weapons could not be broken, and the soldiers of the death squad were at a loss.

Han Xuanjun shot Sun Cebing who boarded the ship with crossbow arrows from a distance, and Sun Cejun suffered heavy losses. At this time, Ling Cao saw a big ship with Han Xuanjun's banner planted, one of them wearing armor, and the sound of bells came from him.

Ling Cao remembered that Sun Ce had sent someone to find out about Gan Ning's information before, saying that he was born as a thief in Jinfan, and he liked to hang bells and stick bird feathers on his head.

Ling Cao said that this person must be Gan Ning, the governor of Han Xuan's navy, Ling Cao pointed at Gan Ning, and shouted to the soldiers of the death squad behind him: "The person on that ship who is wearing armor and wearing a bell around his waist is Gan Ning, the governor of the enemy navy, and all the soldiers will kill Gan Ning with me!" ”

Capture the thief and capture the king first, and when a team of death squad soldiers heard this, they and Ling Cao rushed to the big boat where Gan Ning was in a light boat. The Jinfan thieves in Gan Ning's old department saw Sun Cejun's death squad killing them, and hurriedly reported to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning stepped forward to take a look, and saw a person on the small boat wearing armor and holding a short knife to give orders to the death squad soldiers behind him, Gan Ning sneered: "This person must be the vanguard of the enemy, take my bow and arrow!" ”

Gan Ning tried the direction of the wind, pulled the bow and put the arrow on it, aimed at Ling Cao, adjusted the shooting angle, Gan Ning calmed down, and the arrow on the bow shot out of the string.

"Ahh The knife that Ling Cao was holding came out of his hand, and Ling Cao's eyes widened and he fell to the boat. Gan Ning's arrow hit Ling Cao in the face, and Ling Cao was shot dead on the spot.

The soldiers under Gan Ning shouted in unison: "General Gan is good at archery!" ”

Gan Ning asked the soldiers to use halberds and bows and arrows to repel the death squads brought by Ling Cao, and continued to supervise the battle. Dong Raid saw that the soldiers were cutting the palm cable, and in the melee, Dong Raid flew onto the warship, killed the Han Xuan soldiers who surrounded him, and then slashed the cable with the Divine Weapon Treasure Knife in his hand.

As a result, the Broken Meng Knife slashed down, and the huge cable broke in an instant, and the two ships were washed away along the rapids. Sun Ce's army thus attacked Ganning's naval array, Sun Ce drove into the army, Gan Ning saw Sun Ce's banner and hurriedly commanded his soldiers to fire arrows at Sun Ce's ship.

A rain of arrows came, and Sun Ce hurriedly hid behind the shield soldiers, and at the same time ordered the archers to return fire. Cheng Pu pointed to the opposite Mong and said to Sun Ce: "Lord, this ship should be the command ship where Gan Ning is. ”

Sun Ce's eyes revealed a look of appreciation: "This person's ability to unite the navy is not under me and Gong Jin, and he ordered the helmsman to lean the ship up and engage with him in short combat." I'm going to capture Gan Ning alive! ”

Sun Ce's Mong Mo approached Ganning's big ship, Sun Ce's soldiers threw the anchor to fix it, and Huang Gai led people to put on the plank. Sun Ce led his troops to jump from the plank onto Gan Ning's boat, and slashed and slashed.

Sun Ce picked up the ancient ingot knife in his hand and cut through the armor of several Han Xuanjun, and Sun Ce took advantage of the situation to stab him and beheaded several Han Xuanjun soldiers in a row.

Gan Ning also wandered left and right in Sun Ce's army, Gan Ning first danced the iron chain to sweep several Sun Ce soldiers who came from the plank into the water, and then picked up a short knife and wandered around the various battle groups to support everywhere. Gan Ning walked on the boat like a flat ground, walking like flying, although Sun Cejun's officers and soldiers were also good in water, they were still not as good as Gan Ning.

Gan Ning beheaded more than a dozen Sun Ce soldiers in a row, and suddenly shouted behind him: "Gan Ning, I am Sun Ce, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

Gan Ning smiled: "Why don't you dare? Immediately the knife came towards Sun Ce, Sun Ce raised the ancient ingot knife to meet him, Gan Ning slashed at Sun Ce obliquely, and Sun Ce slashed at the ancient ingot knife. The two of them quickened the speed of the blades in their hands, and there was a burst of clashing sounds.

The two fought for more than 20 years, and suddenly a big wave came, the hull of the ship shook, and Sun Ce was stumbled backwards. But Gan Ning instigated his body, and as the direction of the ship's swing tilted, Gan Ning danced his knife and slashed at Sun Ce like a storm.

Sun Ce's water battle was still not as good as Gan Ning, so he had to retreat backwards, and the two of them killed Sun Ce's mong. Huang Gai saw that Sun Ce had suffered a loss, so he picked up a spear and threw it to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce took the gun and shook the head of the gun and stabbed at Gan Ning. Gan Ning's short knife was no match for Sun Ce's spear, and Gan Ning's lieutenant Ji Shang shouted: "General, I brought you the Jiaolong Bahai Hook." ”

Ji Shang threw the Jiaolong Bahai Hook to Gan Ning, Gan Ning abandoned the knife to catch the double hook, looking at the long-handled double hook, Gan Ning's fighting spirit doubled, his weapons were varied, only the Jiaolong Bahai Hook was his favorite weapon. Gan Ning danced with a double hook, spun and jumped, attacking Sun Ce.
