Chapter 229: Huang Zhong's Selfishness

After Chen Wu personally broke off, Gan Ning returned to the camp under Pan Zhang's desperate rescue, and immediately asked the military medicine craftsmen to treat the wounds, although there were many wounds, fortunately, they were not fatal injuries, but they were a little weak, and their lives were not in serious trouble. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs for Pan Zhang's injuries, they are not in the critical place, but he has lost too much blood and his face is a little pale. Both need to take some break.

The main affairs of the army had to be arranged and carried out by Chen Wu.

After the counting, the 23,000 men and horses in the army actually lost more than 3,000 horses, although there were nearly 5,000 Jiangdong men and horses killed, but most of them were county soldiers in Nanchang City, and the 10,000 elite losses brought by Tai Shici were no more than 2,000, but the Jingzhou army lost real elite soldiers, and to train a real elite sergeant, it was at least one out of ten, so it was still a bit large for the Jingzhou army.

If you calculate carefully, the Jingzhou army lost the most men and horses under the rain of arrows, and a total of half of the men and horses died in the final rain of arrows. Unpreparedness is one thing, the main thing is that the city gate is small, only hundreds of soldiers in front can fight with the enemy, and the Jingzhou army behind is completely blocked there, but there are many people but it can't play a role, and they are suddenly attacked by a rain of arrows and naturally suffer heavy casualties. If it is placed outside the city to fight in the field, then the situation is absolutely the opposite, and the Jiangdong army is definitely defeated by cutting melons and vegetables, which is also Tai Shici's calculation.

At the same time, Tai Shici and Wu Jing also counted the people and horses in Nanchang City, the faces of the two were suitable and ugly, such a good situation could not kill Gan Ning, and let him escape from the city, and his own side actually killed and injured twice as many people and horses as the other party, which made the two very distressed.

But fortunately, at least Nanchang City was preserved and not captured. Wu Jing also immediately ordered people to repair the breached city gate as soon as possible to prevent Gan Ning from attacking again.

Gan Ning understood that he still suffered from the lack of people. Tactics Cloud: Triple attack, five times surround. There are only more than 20,000 people under his command, which is not as large as the number of people in the city, and he has not captured Nanchang, so it is great to be able to break the door. But the main thing is to run into Tai Shici.

Gan Ning simply camped five miles outside the city and did not leave, which made the people in the city extremely jealous. Wu Jing and Tai Shici were also a little depressed, the 30,000 horses in the city lost 6,000, the gap between the number of people and Gan Ning was narrowed, but the quality of the troops was much worse, if they attacked again, it was really difficult to say the victory or defeat.

In Haiyang City, Lou Gui saw that Gan Ning was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and he was not at ease, so he secretly sent scouts to investigate, and sure enough, he learned that Gan Ning led the army to attack Nanchang alone, and he was not too worried, but after learning that Tai Shici led 10,000 horses to help, he immediately knew that the situation was not good, and immediately abandoned Haidu, led the army to Nanchang to meet Gan Ning, and at the same time sent people to Chaisang to let Huo Jun send people to help. After Zhang Hu learned about it, he immediately asked to come to help in the war, and after discussion, Zhang Hu led the army, and Cai He also went to help in the war.

Just when Lou Gui was about to arrive in Nanchang, he learned that Gan Ning was defeated, but fortunately, although the loss of the writer's horse was not very serious, Ya was relieved.

Gan Ning was very ashamed when he learned that Lou Gui was coming: "I didn't listen to what Mr. said, Ning was really ashamed, it was the death and injury of the three thousand Jingzhou elites who caused a certain injury, which made the morale low, and General Ning personally went to the table and asked the lord to demote Gan Ning to an ordinary sergeant." ”

Lou Gui comforted: "Xingba don't take all the blame on himself, this war crime is not yours, Tai Shici came a little suddenly, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and rest assured that you can take Nanchang a snow in the future." ”

Gan Ning wrote a separate letter and sent it to Xiangyang, asking Liu Yong to surrender his guilt.

The two armies were afraid of each other, and although there were occasional wars, they were all petty fights and mutual damage, but they did not affect the overall situation. At the same time, Zhang Hu and Cai He led 10,000 horses to help, so that the strength of the Jingzhou army immediately soared, Nanchang City became even more nervous, and hurriedly sent people to Sun Quan for help again.

Liu Yong received Gan Ning's letter, laughed, and immediately replied: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Nanchang is captured." How can there be immortals in war, Xingba doesn't have to mind. I will send more men to help Xingba. After breaking through Nanchang, he quickly took the entire territory of Yuzhang, and then attacked Poyang County. You can follow Mr. Zibo's advice. ”

When Gan Ning received Liu Yong's reply, he was immediately full of gratitude, and bowed three times in the direction of Xiangyang: "Don't worry, my lord, Gan Ning will definitely go south to Nanchang, and he will be ashamed of his mission!" ”

After Liu Yong replied to the letter, he again ordered LΓΌ Meng and Ding Feng to send 10,000 horses from the four counties of Jingnan to Nanchang to support Gan Ning.

Huang Zhong was naturally also exploring the movements of Gan Ning's army, and as early as after learning that Gan Ning had successively defeated Zhou Tai and defeated Chaisang, he immediately ordered to attack Cheng Pu's army. No, Cheng Pu is indeed a veteran of the battlefield, and he stationed his men and horses in the city of Ai. Ai County is built on the mountain, the city is not big but easy to defend and difficult to attack, Huang Zhong attacked several times in vain, but lost more than 1,000 horses. He was in a hurry, if Gan Ning had taken Nanchang earlier, his face would have been lost.

Huang Zhong also has selfish intentions, that is, he must not be under Gan Ning.

Knowing that Gan Ning's attack on Nanchang was frustrated, he was overjoyed, maybe he still had a chance to break through Nanchang, but he also had to capture Ai County first, seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, his time was more urgent. Immediately summon all the generals under his command again to discuss.

Han Hao managed well in Tuntian, Jingnan, and was also borrowed by Huang Zhong from Ma Liang to go out with the army, at this time, seeing that everyone was at a loss, Han Hao came out and said: "General, the Mufu Mountain between Xiajun and Ai County is the biggest barrier for Cheng Pu, which is also the reason why he can confront our army with 10,000 horses." There is a plan in the next place, maybe you can defeat Cheng Pu and take Ai County in one fell swoop. ”

Huang Zhong was immediately overjoyed, and bowed his hand to Han Hao: "What is Han Yuanhei's plan, come quickly." If you can break through Cheng Pu in Ai County, you will definitely ask the lord for credit! ”

Huang Zhong immediately asked all the sergeants except for the people in the big tent to stay away from the big tent, and if they dared to get close, they would be killed immediately.

Han Hao returned the salute again: "Thank you for the general's promotion." This is the duty of subordinates, and it is naturally best if they can make contributions. Every time our army attacks Cheng Pu, he has to cross the Makufu Mountain, and Cheng Pu will inevitably arrange eyeliner on the mountain, and as soon as our army moves, he will know immediately. There will inevitably be an ambush in that row, as was the case with the previous ambushes. This is also the reason why it is difficult to raid Ai County.

This time, taking advantage of this, he could send a group of men and horses from Ma Daoling to attack, pretending to be a tentative attack as usual, slowing down the march, so that Cheng Pu would have a chance to prepare. After nightfall, let the other horses go out and follow closely behind. Once the men and horses in front encountered an ambush, they were immediately defeated, leading the enemy into the belly of the horse and annihilating them in one fell swoop. Then ......" Han Hao whispered a few words to Huang Zhong.
