Chapter 693: The One Who Counts Wins

The soldiers with iron shackles in their hands immediately followed, resisting Gan Ning's back, and the people behind him picked up in turn.

Hundreds of arrows flew. Shoot on the iron pole, crackling; Shot on heavy armor, sparks flowed; Shot in the river water, splashing.

Gan Ning gritted his teeth. Although there was an iron pole to protect the vital point, although there was a heavy armor to protect the body, he was still hit by several arrows, but he didn't even say a word, continued to move forward under the pressure of the arrow rain, rushed to the shore, turned his hands over, held the handle, as a pole, jumped ashore, picked up the iron, and swept towards the Danyang soldiers who came up.

"Bang Bang!" Several spears were snapped, two shields were smashed, and the shield-bearer staggered back on his feet.

Gan Ning took advantage of the situation to rush in, and smashed the iron pole violently, without any tricks, it was a brute force sweep. The iron pole is long and heavy, and the center of gravity is in front, and the power of rotation is amazing, and several shieldmen have been knocked down when they come forward to intercept, and they can't help it for a while. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other soldiers also rushed ashore, rushed to Gan Ning's side, and swooped down with their iron poles.

The Danyang soldiers were stunned by them and retreated.

Another fighting ship rushed to the shore, and twenty fighters jumped out of the boat and ran wildly towards the shore with their feet in the water.

Although Gan Ning has great strength, but the iron pole is too heavy, and after a long time, he can't support it, and when he sees another group of people coming ashore, he drinks the order to form a formation. Forty people were divided into two rows, the front row attacked, the back row seized the time to rest, continued to push forward, and broke into the Danyang soldier's position for more than ten steps in one breath.

More Danyang soldiers surrounded and surrounded Gan Ning and the others.

The battle line is stalemate, and every step becomes extremely difficult.

The crossbowmen on both sides were still firing at each other, but no one cared about Gan Ning and the others who were mixed together. The bowmen of the Danyang soldiers won a lot, and the arrows rained one after another, and the building boat was quickly shot into a hedgehog, but Xie Kuan and the others hid behind the wooden wall, and they didn't have to worry about safety at all, and they were looking for a suitable sniper target.

The two sides come and go, one person is more powerful, one is superb in archery, but they also fight to win or lose.

Zhou Xin was anxious and paced back and forth on the stage. The battle was unexpected, the opponent succeeded in the first attack, only thirty or forty men attacked the shore, and established a firm foothold on the shore, although he was unable to continue to advance, but it did not seem easy to kill them. The lethality of the archers on the two ships was not small, far and accurate, so that the crossbowmen suffered a lot of losses.

It was so difficult at the beginning, and when Sun Ce's main force started attacking, could it still hold it?

Zhou Xin regretted a little, he shouldn't have let Chen Deng take away 2,000 people. He now has only more than 7,000 people, and in addition to the more than 1,000 people on Niuzhu Rock, he can only mobilize more than 5,000 people, and there is no certainty of victory. From time to time, he looked up at the opposite side of the river, but the river was so wide that he could see nothing.

When Gan Ning and the others were deadlocked, another fighting ship came ashore, and sixty soldiers took Gan Ning as the front, formed a conical formation, and constantly attacked forward. Most of them threw away their heavy iron poles one after another, and fought with familiar swords and shields. Gan Ning held a double halberd, slashed and hooked, tigers and tigers, one after another Danyang soldiers fell in front of him, he also hung colors, several times by the spear pierced through the iron armor, blood flowed sideways.

"Kill!" Gan Ning roared, the halberd in his left hand hooked the edge of a shield, pulled it with his hand, the halberd in his right hand found a gap, stabbed the opponent behind the shield down, and swept it back, the halberd hooked the neck of another spearman, pulled hard, blood burst out, the spearman screamed, his eyes widened, he rushed straight forward, and stabbed the spear into the chest of a warrior behind Gan Ning, and the two fell together.

The Danyang soldiers surrounded more and more, and the casualties of Gan Ning and others also increased rapidly, and the casualties accumulated to more than ten people.

"Withdraw!" Gan Ning shouted, brandished his halberd, forced away several Danyang soldiers one after another, and ordered a retreat.

Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and his legs were a little weak. Although Gan Ning retreated, he had already broken into the formation for more than fifty steps, and many corpses were poured on the riverside, and at a rough glance, there were at least nearly 100 people. If you include the crossbowmen who were shot from a distance, the losses were even greater.

——

Sun Ce stood up and greeted Gan Ning, who was striding forward.

Gan Ning was covered in blood, his face was also stained red with blood, and the viscous blood kept dripping down, and he didn't know if it was his or the enemy, he could smell the smell of blood from a long distance, even if the river wind was strong, it couldn't be blown away. He walked in front of Sun Ce, his steps were firm, and he landed soundly, and every step was a blood mark. Yang Xiu saw it in his eyes, his heart was pounding, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily, but he was not as calm as Feng Wan.

"The captain is hard, how about the casualties?"

"It's not hard, it's happy, it's happy." Gan Ning waved his arms and said nonchalantly. "We were wounded eleven people, seven were killed, I don't know how many people we killed, I can't count them, but it should be more than 100 people, and I killed more than 20 myself." He pulled away the heavy armor with several feather arrows nailed, revealing the golden silk brocade armor inside, and laughed: "General, this is a good thing, it can save your life." He turned to Huang Yueying again and bowed deeply. Thank you to the master, if everyone who reads is as smart as the master, instead of sitting and talking, we will definitely be able to run rampant in the world and be invincible. ”

Yang Xiu heard it harshly, and wanted to mock Gan Ning a few words, but when he saw Gan Ning's fierce and vicious appearance, he swallowed those ugly words back. Sun Ce himself is a martial artist, and now he is a tactic to use people, he and Gan Ning have a falling out, Sun Ce must be uncomfortable, and he doesn't know how to fix him.

"Can we fight again?"

"Let Yang Hong and them fight for a while, let's drink wine, eat something, and attack again later. If you don't attack a few more times and retreat too easily, Zhou Xin won't believe it. ”

"Then you be careful, control the rhythm, and don't be brutal."

"Thank you, General." Gan Ning said happily: "If it weren't for the general's reminder and adequate preparation, today's casualties would have at least doubled." General, I originally thought that I was already very capable of fighting, and compared to you, it was a small thing. You're too good at calculating, better than the bookkeeper. ”

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "If you don't settle your accounts well, you will lose some money at most. If the use of soldiers is not accurately calculated, it is not only money that is lost, but also human lives. Do you think that the first sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War said that it was a joke? This is the outline of the lead, the secret of the art of war. ”

Gan Ning laughed. "Makes sense, makes sense. In the future, I will learn from the general and settle more accounts. I'm gone, and I'll drink with the general again in the evening. With that, he waved his hand, turned and strode away, only a few bloody footprints on the deck were visible.

The boat left the building ship and rushed to the battlefield again, Gan Ning stood up the bow and sang loudly.

"The husband should be meritorious and famous; I have to meet Bo Lexi and give me a festival. The brocade sails are hundred, thousands of miles longitudinal and horizontal. The sword shines brightly, and the treacherous retreats. Heroes work hard, and the world is peaceful. The general fought a hundred battles and returned to his hometown with honor. Seal your wife and shade, and Changle Weiyang ......"

Xiang Lang was fascinated and high-fived. "Strong, husband, it should be so."
