Chapter 457: Wancheng is down
Although the people brought by Su Fei were surrounded, Su Fei finally ordered to surrender. However, not all of the 4,000 people were killed or surrendered, and some of them fled during the chaos.
For those who escaped, Ye Mo also knew. However, Ye Mo didn't care about those people. Sometimes, it is necessary for such people to go back to Wancheng to report the news, so that Ye Mo's next actions can be simpler.
Those Jingzhou soldiers who fled also lived up to Ye Mo's expectations, and after they fled back to Wancheng, they immediately told Gan Ning, who was stationed in Wancheng, about the ambush.
As soon as Gan Ning heard that Su Fei was ambushed, he couldn't help but send troops to the rescue. After all, from the mouths of these soldiers who fled back, Gan Ning only understood that Su Fei was besieged in the end and could not escape.
It's just that Gan Ning was just called by Su Fei to help after all, and not all the soldiers who stayed behind knew about Gan Ning. In addition, the soldiers who fled back claimed the strength of the imperial army, which caused the soldiers who stayed in the city to be relatives.
Therefore, although Gan Ning repeatedly ordered, he only gathered the Jinfan army that Gan Ning originally brought.
Looking at this situation, Gan Ning was suddenly extremely angry, but there was no way, these soldiers were not his Gan Ning's soldiers after all.
And it is understandable that those soldiers chose not to fight, after all, Su Fei was surrounded by the army of the imperial court, and it can be seen from the news that Kuai Yue surrendered to the enemy, which is a matter of eight or nine inseparable.
Now if these soldiers of the Jingzhou army follow Gan Ning to fight, even if they will not suffer from the imperial army. That's not going to make a difference.
Their task is not to protect anyone's safety, even if that person is their main general, Su Fei.
Now stay in Wancheng. At the very least, the walls of Wancheng can be relied on to defend against the attack of the imperial army. But after leaving the city, with only a thousand Jingzhou soldiers, in front of the 30,000 imperial army, what role can it play?
In Wancheng, the only remaining lieutenant gathered all the other centurions.
"The general doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now, and now there are only a thousand of us brothers left in Wancheng. Tell me about it. What should we do. The lieutenant looked at the centurion and asked quietly.
As soon as the centurion heard the lieutenant say this, several of them lowered their heads. Pretending not to know the meaning of the captain's words, the others looked at each other a few times, and then one of them said to the captain: "Didn't General Su invite a general over, and now General Su is not here." Naturally, we are at the mercy of the general. ”
These few people. Although Gan Ning asked them to go out of the city to rescue Su Fei before, they didn't go because they were dissatisfied with Gan Ning, but because they knew that going out now was tantamount to death, so they ignored Gan Ning's order.
However, now that Su Fei is not here, and Gan Ning was invited back by Su Fei, it is natural that he should obey Gan Ning's orders at this time.
Merely. The lieutenant didn't show any expression after listening to the centurion's words. just said lightly: "Although this is true, do you know the identity of the person the general invited back?" ”
As soon as the captain's words came out, all of a sudden, the centurions looked at the captain together. The words of the school captain seemed to mean something.
And after the captain saw that the centurion was looking at him, he said word by word: "The identity of that person is the head of the Jinfan thief." ”
"What?!" As soon as the lieutenant's words came out, the audience was shocked. They didn't expect that the person Su Fei invited back would be a water thief.
"General, what should you do next, you give the order." As the lieutenant finished speaking, one of the centurions, who had been bribed by the lieutenant, suddenly spoke.
And after the centurion's words, the other centurions looked at each other, even if some people still wanted to listen to Gan Ning's order, but at this time, it was obvious that most of them were on the side of the captain.
After looking at this situation, the lieutenant smiled in his heart, and then said: "Since this is the case, then send someone to Xiangyang and tell the news here." As long as we defend Wancheng after the reinforcements arrive, will our future credit be small? ”
As soon as the captain finished speaking, the faces of those centurions suddenly showed a look of longing. It's just that before they could wake up from this dream, they suddenly rushed outside and rushed into a group of people in black.
After this group of people rushed in, they didn't wait for the captain and the others to speak, and the strange weapon in their hands stabbed at the important parts of these people.
Of all the people, the captain in particular bore the brunt. He had done it in the farthest position from the door of the tent, but when these people came to assassinate him, would they rush in through the door?
With the stabbing of that strange weapon, the dozen or so people quickly fell in a pool of blood. When the nearby Jingzhou sergeants heard the movement and rushed over, they found that their superiors had all been killed.
As soon as these people died, the remaining Jingzhou army in Wancheng was leaderless. And before, Gan Ning gave orders to these people and did not get a reply, so the possibility that Gan Ning was the murderer was naturally the greatest.
No matter what their status is, these people will always have some friends and relatives. Now that these people are dying tragically, those people are suddenly enthusiastic, and they don't want to find out what the truth is, but they pick up their weapons and shout to avenge the dead people.
Gan Ning was also worried at this time, after all, Su Fei entrusted this Wancheng to him, but the army in this Wancheng did not obey Gan Ning's dispatch, which made Gan Ning very annoyed. Although at this time, Gan Ning also realized whether the orders he had given before were or not, it was obvious that these people did not listen to his orders.
Suddenly, Gan Ning heard a shout of killing from outside the door.
"What's going on?" After hearing this voice, Gan Ning's first reaction was that the imperial army had attacked and had already entered Wancheng. But on second thought, there are big doubts. Since it was a sneak attack by the imperial army, why was there only a shout of killing outside the door?
At this moment, one of Gan Ning's subordinates rushed in and shouted at Gan Ning: "Big brother, big brother, something is wrong!" ”
"What's going on?" Looking at the person who rushed in, Gan Ning suddenly asked.
After seeing Gan Ning, the man was also relieved. After taking a few breaths, the man also replied anxiously: "Jingzhou army, it was the Jingzhou army that killed us." ”
"What?" Although he knew that it might not be a good thing, after hearing this answer, Gan Ning couldn't help but gasp.
"Why are they coming at us?" Gan Ning looked at the subordinate in front of him and immediately asked. It's just that before he could wait for an answer, he heard a few words like "revenge" from outside.
Looking at the Jinfan thief who was killed and retreated, Gan Ning also shook his fist unwillingly, and then said: "Tell the brothers to go, we don't need to stay here." ”
After Gan Ning said this, he immediately turned around and went back to get his big knife, and then killed the Jingzhou army at the door.
As soon as Gan Ning appeared, those soldiers of the Jingzhou army were immediately intimidated by Gan Ning's momentum. For a while, the Jingzhou sergeant who shouted for revenge watched Gan Ning lead people away, but no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Just after Gan Ning led people out of Wancheng, in an unobtrusive corner of the Wancheng city wall, a man in black showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Go and tell the lord and let him come directly with the army, Wancheng has no defense." When the man had finished speaking, he walked on the blood-soaked walls and left. In the corner of the wall, if it were daylight, you could find that the corpses were already piled up. (To be continued......)
