In the early morning of the next day, the Yuan army launched an attack again under the command of Lei Bo, although the Yuan army suffered heavy losses in yesterday's battle, but Lei Bo knew very well that the Shu army was also uncomfortable in front of him, and he was now completely able to accept this kind of defeat-lose play, as long as the reinforcements of the Shu army did not arrive before breaking through Lusu, and then attacking Shucheng and defending the city, blocking the enemy in the south, and keeping Yuan Shu's "empire", it was a great achievement in front of Yuan Shu, what is the loss of soldiers? There are many strong men in Huainan, just pull tens of thousands! If he is dragged into a stalemate by Lu Su, as soon as the reinforcements of the Shu army arrive, he will only be left with a result of failure, once he fails, it means that he will lose the gateway of the Lujiang River, even if he has the life to escape back to Shouchun, Yuan Shu may not leave him alive!

Lu Su did not dare to be careless, and transferred the officers and men of the Second Fleet of the Half of the Navy Army and the Second Independent Cavalry Brigade of the Half of the Navy that had not participated in the battle to hold the defensive line.

On this day, under the frantic attack of Yuan's army, the defense line was precarious several times, and in an emergency, Lu Su had to order the first independent brigade of the naval army and 3,000 personal guards who had suffered heavy losses yesterday to enter the battle, which ensured the safety of the defense line.

That night, Zhou Tai and other generals gathered in Lu Su's tent to discuss tomorrow's battle.

Sima Lang said: "General, the casualties have been counted, our army has lost 2,850 people today, and the current strength is 22,500 people, including nearly 4,000 light and serious wounded. In the two days of fighting, our army has been reduced by nearly half, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not take two days, and the defense line will soon be lost! ”

Lu Su nodded, how could he not know this, when he found out that he had lost the opportunity to raid Lei Bo and had to garrison the army after that, he expected that this was a dangerous gamble, he was likely to be surrounded by the superior Yuan army, or even annihilated, but under the circumstances at that time, he had no choice, and he could only get a crushing defeat and withdraw to Jiangnan by opening up his forces and fighting a decisive battle with the Yuan army? As a general of Shu, he did not allow himself to flee without a fight in front of the enemy, if he got this humiliation, he would not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life! What's more, once the Shu army retreats, Shucheng will not be guaranteed, and now Shucheng has been included in the territory of Shu by him, how can he accept the result of losing the city?

It can be said that Lu Su walked into this Jedi willingly, and in the face of a powerful enemy surrounded on all sides, he only hoped that his resistance would work, and hoped that Gan Ning would live up to his trust and successfully capture Hefei!

Lu Su said heavily: "Now our army is cornered, we can only fight against the water, survive in the death, and order the whole army to rest well and meet tomorrow's more vicious challenges!" ”

"Yes, the last general will lead his troops to fight to the death, and would rather die than retreat!" Ling Cao said loudly.

Lu Su smiled faintly, a little relieved and a little bitter: "You must pay attention to safety on the front line, and don't get into danger easily." Only when you are alive can the soldiers have the backbone and the faith to resist to the end, you know? ”

"Yes!" Zhou Tai and the others said in unison.

After a moment of silence, Sima Lang said again: "You don't have to worry too much, according to the time calculation, General Gan should have arrived in Hefei today, if everything goes well, Hefei is already in the pocket of our army at this time, early tomorrow, at the latest the day after tomorrow, Lei Bo will definitely get the news of Hefei, at that time he is a dog with his tail and run back, tell the soldiers to grit their teeth and hold on, victory is just around the corner!" ”

"Yes!"

After deliberating on the night's vigilance, the generals departed.

As Sima Lang said, Gan Ning did lead a huge fleet through Chaohu Lake and along the Shishui River, and arrived in Hefei today.

As an important town in Jiujiang, there were 15,000 elite soldiers stationed in Hefei City, in order to defend Lusu, and later it was strengthened to 85,000 people, but in order to crusade against Lu Kang, Lei Bo took away the main force of 80,000 in the city, and now there are only 5,000 old and weak garrisons in the city, and the guard is Yang Jie, the general of Lei Bo.

Gan Ning has 45,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and it is not a problem to capture Hefei, but Gan Ning does not want to do it brutally, he knows that Lu Su's situation at the moment must be very dangerous, after all, the troops in Lu Su's hands are at an absolute disadvantage compared to the enemy, perhaps Lu Su has reached the most critical juncture at this moment, and may be defeated at any time, in order to understand the danger of Lu Su, the battle of Hefei must be quickly resolved, only in the shortest possible time to conquer Hefei, cut off Lei Bo's retreat and supply line, in order to make Lei Bo not fight and self-chaos, retreat to recover fertilizer, if Hefei this battle becomes a stalemate, not only is Lu Su in danger of being wiped out, but he may also be attacked by Lei Bo and the defenders of Hefei from inside and outside!

Under Gan Ning's order, the fleet anchored ten miles downstream of Hefei, and the soldiers of the Shu army quickly controlled all the people within a radius of five miles, so as not to leak the news (in fact, these people thought that he was completely superfluous, and the people who were persecuted by Yuan Shu had long hoped that someone would rescue them from the sea of suffering, and his arrival made these people rejoice that it was too late, how could they go to tell Yuan Jun?). Then he found a fishing boat, took two soldiers to disguise themselves as fishermen and went up the river, went ashore under Hefei City, carried a few fresh fish and paid the head tax and swaggered into Hefei City, and the defenders did not suspect at all.

Hefei is a big city with a population of tens of thousands, but there are not a few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a few people walk by, and their faces are also a dead color, which is an expression that contains pain, helplessness, numbness, anger and other emotions. When Gan Ning stepped forward to sell fresh fish, the inn and tavern owner always pointed to the only diners in the store with a bitter face, and asked Gan Ning's fish on credit, if it could be sold, and then let Gan Ning collect the money, Gan Ning left with a smile and a smile......

In order to investigate the situation in the city, Gan Ning took two personal soldiers to almost run around Hefei City, and after finding out the situation of Yuan's army in the city, he planned to leave.

However, Yuan Jun didn't want Gan Ning to leave so easily, don't worry, it wasn't Yuan Jun who recognized Gan Ning, but a patrolling Yuan Jun saw him passing in front of him with a fish, so they stopped him and prepared to fight at night.

Even if Gan Ning's personal soldiers want to be angry, as Gan Ning's personal soldiers, when have they ever been bullied like this? Gan Ning saw that the situation was not good, and he gave the two pro-soldiers a slam (raised high, put down gently, it looked ruthless, but in fact, it was a little superficial injury), woke up the two pro-soldiers, personally sent the fish to Yuan Jun, and apologized to Yuan Jun vigorously, and said that his companion was a countryman who didn't know the rules or anything, and Yuan Jun was not embarrassed when he got the fish, and scolded Gan Ning and the three away with a cold face.

"General, they ......" When they arrived at a place where there was no one, a personal soldier could no longer bear it and said.

"Shut up......" Gan Ning didn't allow him to say more, so he shouted: "Now that we go deep into the tiger's den, we must be careful and not cause more trouble, otherwise wouldn't it be too stupid to give away our lives in vain?" ”

"I ...... Yes, General! "The pro-soldier had to get the way.

The three of them stopped talking, and went out of Hefei City smoothly, drove the boat down the river, and arrived at the anchor place in a short time.

Jiang Qin saw that Gan Ning had returned safely, and finally relieved his heart, he did not agree to Gan Ning personally involved in the danger, but after the official level crushed people to death, and Gan Ning put on the dual identity of superior and old qualification, Jiang Qin had to agree, but he had always been worried. In Jiang Qin's opinion, why bother doing this, 45,000 people attacked a city with only 5,000 people stationed, it was not a matter of catching turtles in the urn and taking nine out of ten? What's more, even if you can't take it, putting the entire fleet on the water can make it difficult for Lei Bo to fly.

When Gan Ning saw Jiang Qin, he said with a smile: "Gongyi, this time I didn't go in vain, the situation has made me feel clear, let's discuss how to fight this battle!" ”

Jiang Qin said with a serious expression: "General, the last general has to remind you that as the commander, you should dispatch and command in the rear, coordinate the overall situation, and go deep into the tiger's den to investigate the enemy's intelligence, that is a scout's task!" Today's events will be reported to the Legion Commander truthfully! ”

Gan Ning said disapprerovingly: "Haha, Gongyi, I know it's wrong, I promise you: I won't take it as an example!" Unfortunately, this statement is very unconvincing, and even he himself probably does not believe this guarantee!

Jiang Qin did not dwell too much on this matter, and stepped forward to listen to Gan Ning's personal investigation of the situation.

"After Lei Bo led the army to attack Lujiang, there were only 5,000 old and weak garrisons left in the city, and the guard was named Yang Jie, according to the previous intelligence of our army, Yang Jie was brave and unscrupulous, greedy for life and afraid of death, and good at collecting wealth and beauty, he was completely a mediocre person, and he had today's status by patting Lei Bo's sycophants. Since Lei Bo left, perhaps he thought that there was Lei Bo in front of him, and Hefei was very safe, so the garrison was very lax. I heard that in the past two days, he patronized and extorted the rich people in the city, and robbed the people's daughters for their sexual pleasure, and he did not pay any attention to the garrison. The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, this thunder thin has only been gone for a few days, the military discipline in the city has been eroded to the point that it is unbearable to enter the destination, and the generals and soldiers who leave their posts without permission abound, it is the perfect time for our army to capture this city! ”

"I wonder what the general's plan is?" Jiang Qin said.

Gan Ning had already planned it on the way back, so when Jiang Qin asked, he said his idea without thinking about it, but as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qin almost jumped up and objected, what do you want to do with Gan Ning? He actually planned to personally bring a hundred or so people into the city, and stay at night to quietly control a city gate and enlarge the army into the city. This idea was nothing, but Gan Ning had just sworn that he would never take risks easily, and he broke his promise before he could land......
