Zhao Wei climbed to the top of the city, and his face was a little ugly.

There are a lot of corpses lying on the head of the city, but most of them are his subordinates, if you add the people who were wounded and killed by the bow and crossbow under the city, the total number of casualties is close to 1,000, but the corpses of the Jingzhou army are no more than 20 people. Including those who were injured and evacuated, it is estimated that there will be no more than 100 people.

The casualty ratio of 1 to 10 is enough to prove that what Gan Ning said is true, they are facing the real elite. If it weren't for the fact that the opponent's forces were too small, not too much, doubled, and had enough arrows, he would not be able to break the city today even if he paid a greater price.

If 200 people have such a strong combat power, how can Yiling, where 3,000 people are stationed, be able to break through?

Shen Mi walked over with a sword. "Look, General."

Zhao Wei looked at the war knife that had cut more than a dozen gaps and frowned. "What's wrong?"

"This is the war knife of the Jingzhou army." Shen Mi held the handle of the knife in one hand and the tip of the knife in the other, and broke it hard. The long knife is bent into an arc, but it does not break. As soon as Shen Mi let go, the long knife returned to straightness. "This sword is at least fifty refinements, maybe even a hundred refinements."

Even if Zhao Wei was a scribe and was not very good at weapons, he was stunned. The more times the sword is refined, the better the toughness, but the greater the manpower and material resources consumed, the usual standard war knife is at most thirty refining, and the fifty refining swords can only be used by generals, and the hundred refining knives are treasure swords, which are of high value, and they can never be rationed to ordinary soldiers.

"Is it all such a knife, could it be someone's private knife?"

"No, I've already checked, the Jingzhou military is full of such swords, without exception. The iron on their armor is thinner than ours, but it is tougher. Shen Mi asked his subordinates to bring a piece of armor, tried to cut it twice with a knife, and compared the armor of the Yizhou army, and the gap was indeed obvious.

"I didn't expect the armament of the Jingzhou Army to be so good." Zhao Wei stroked his beard, and his already not very firm mind wavered even more. If Yiling's Jingzhou army was the same, then it would be impossible for him to conquer Yiling. It's easy to go downstream, but it's hard to go upstream, and it's bound to be a big defeat at that time.

But it can't go back like this, Xingshi mobilized nearly 20,000 people, but only fought with 200 people, captured a Wu County and left, how to explain to Liu Yan, how to prove his ability to use soldiers, will he be compared with Jia Long?

Zhao Wei thought about it a lot, and finally decided to wait and see for a while. He coughed twice in a serious manner. "Zhong Guang, inform Gan Xingba, let him guard Zigui, don't let these remnants escape, otherwise you won't be able to explain to Liu Yuanjun. Zhongguang, you don't know how much criticism I endured in order to keep him in the army. I hoped that he could reform and make some merits to clear this notoriety. I didn't expect him to only know Jinfan's swagger, but he couldn't even conquer this small Wu County, you say, how can I explain this to the envoy? ”

Shen Mi was very unimpressed, but it was not good to refute Zhao Yun in person. Zhao Wei was born in the Yizhou clan, and he is a person trusted by Liu Yan, and his influence is far stronger than that of these warriors, not to mention that Gan Ning is still a river thief, and now he has lost the battle and cannot clear himself.

"Thank you, General, I will definitely convey your good intentions to Xingba."

Zhao Wei nodded and turned to leave. "Zhong Guang, collect those swords and armor and send them over, I want to repay the envoy."

Shen Mi gritted his teeth and responded. During the siege of the city, Zhao Wei hid far away, and none of his cronies went up, and now that the spoils are divided, he wants to swallow these high-grade ordnance alone, which is simply unreasonable. But under the low eaves, people have to bow their heads, not to mention that they are still in his hands. In order to help Gan Ning clear his name, these weapons could only be swallowed by Zhao Wei alone.

——

"That's what he said?" Gan Ning squinted at Shen Mi, with a murderous awe-inspiring look in his eyes.

"Xingba, bear with him for a while, don't fight with him. Finding a way to catch those routs can also make up for some losses. In my opinion, although the Jingzhou army is well-trained, it is impossible for all of them to be such elites, and it is good if they can catch some of them and collect them for use. ”

Gan Ning shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Zhong Guang, how can those people be so easy to catch when they enter the mountain?" For example, once I escape into the rivers and lakes, who can catch me. I don't make a fortune, whoever wants to get rich will go. ”

Shen Mi scratched his head, feeling that Gan Ning was reasonable. In the Yizhou army, Gan Ning is not the best at using soldiers, but when it comes to the experience of robbing homes and houses, there is no better than him. Those Jingzhou troops have outstanding combat power and tacit understanding, if they really want to hide in the mountains, thousands of people may not be able to catch them. Gan Ning was injured again, and his mobility was impossible, and he was not fit for adventure.

But this is the appointment of Zhao Wei, if it is not completed, how can Gan Ning explain to Zhao Wei?

"Xingba, even so, you can't do nothing, and then there will be another disobedience to military orders and contempt for Shangguan, can you still stay in Yizhou?"

"His mother's." Gan Ning was so angry that the bell on the knife ring trembled, making a rapid and crisp sound. "These celebrities don't have a good bird, don't rush Lao Tzu, force Lao Tzu to be anxious, one knife at a time, it's all over, it's a big deal to vote for Sun Ce. He was born in a martial arts family, and he didn't deal with the family, so he definitely wouldn't look down on me. ”

The more Gan Ning thought about it, the more angry he became, rubbing his hands. "Zhong Guang, in my opinion, Liu Yan and Zhao Wei can't do it, and if you want to do big things, you have to be a young hero like Sun Ce. This bird is fed up, so it's better to simply vote for Sun Ce. ”

Shen Mi was startled and hurriedly stopped. "Xingba, don't talk nonsense, your family is in Yizhou, you go to Sun Ce now, what can your family do? Liu Yan's methods, you don't know it, he can't catch you, can't he arrest your family? ”

Gan Ning was sullen, clenching his fists in annoyance, his joints crackled, and a pair of fierce eyes were rolling around. He was silent for a long time and said, "I definitely can't catch someone, so I had to send someone to Nanyang to buy a few pieces for him." Since you want to buy it, it is better to buy more and keep it for your own use. Zhong Guang, what do you think, are you interested in partnering? ”

Shen Mi was also moved. When he saw those ordnance, he was itching, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Wei's eating alone, but he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak. Now that he heard Gan Ning say that he was going to Nanyang to buy, he also wanted to get a few pieces of equipment for personal guards. However, he was a little worried, those ordnance were of such good quality, the price must not be low, could he afford it?

Hearing Shen Mi's worries, Gan Ning sneered: "Zhong Guang, I didn't say you, your brain is the same as those people, too dead." You don't want to think about it, no matter how rich Sun Ce is, he can still equip tens of thousands of troops with expensive treasure swords? He can do this, which shows that these things are not expensive, but Nanyang can do it, and others can't do it. My concern was not the price, but his refusal to sell. Whoever it is for, such a sharp weapon can't be sold casually. ”

Shen Mi nodded again and again. "And what are you going to do?"

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows. "If you can't buy it, then grab it, do you think I, a brocade thief, will show off my wealth? Zhong Guang, you go back and tell Zhao Wei, just say that I will go to pursue the remnants of Jingzhou, it may take some time, and let him allocate some money and food to me first. ”
