Those Jinfan soldiers are all Gan Ning's henchmen, and they have already become elite soldiers in a hundred battles under Gan Ning's cultivation for so many years, and they are extremely loyal to Gan Ning.

Therefore, these Jinfan soldiers did not hesitate, and followed Gan Ning into the enemy camp again.

The barbarians originally respected the warriors, and when they saw that the general had killed the barbarian general in one move, they had long been afraid of the enemy general who was like an iron tower and the knights who were like tigers and wolves under him, but now when they saw that the other party had rushed over again, they immediately ran for their lives in fear.

Gan Ning easily caught a brute soldier, asked where the grain and grass warehouse was, and then led eight hundred athletes straight to the grain and grass storehouse, and burned it down.

Since the grain and grass warehouse was burned, the barbarians have completely fallen into chaos, crashing like headless flies, and some of them ran directly to Gan Ning's formation, and were killed by Gan Ning and others.

"Retreat, retreat." The barbarian army commander saw that the general was brave, and saw that the grain and grass were burned, so he had no choice but to announce the withdrawal of his troops, and when he left, he did not forget to ask in Chinese that he was not proficient in: "That Han army general, what is your name?" ”

Gan Ning laughed; "I am a native of Linjiang, Ganning, Ganxingba, yes."

"Gan Ning, we remember this name." The barbarian commander whispered while leading the remnants of the defeated army to retreat.

The barbarian army commander had just withdrawn from the camp not far away, when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering drum sound not far away, and he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, and muttered: "It turns out that there are ambushes in the place, but fortunately we withdrew in time, otherwise I am afraid that this time the whole army will be wiped out." Alas, I really didn't expect that there would be such a warrior in the Han army, and it seemed that he was not weaker than the Fubo general Ma Yuan back then! It seems that the Han people should not be underestimated. ”

When Gan Ning led 800 athletes back to Yuannan City, Yu Ban personally led the soldiers and civilians to meet him. He never imagined that this bold Gan Ning would create a brilliant battle example with only 800 men under his command, rampage through the barbarian camp of 20,000 or 30,000 people, killing thousands of people, not to mention burning the opponent's grain and grass, forcing the opponent to finally withdraw his troops. Now that he is finally completely convinced of the vision of the lord Liu Qi, he knows why the lord has so much respect for Gan Ning, who looks like a gangster.

Yu Ban let Gan Ning into the county government, set up a table of wine to celebrate Gan Ning and his eight hundred athletes, and took the initiative to reward Gan Ning, Gan Ning also admired Yu Ban's calmness and diligence, and naturally he also fell in love with each other.

After drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, the sky was already bright, and Yu Ban ordered the city guards to go to the moat to clear the moat blocked by the barbarians again, and ordered the craftsmen to re-strengthen the city to prevent the enemy from attacking again, and at the same time, the public execution of a dozen sergeants who had cowardly tried to escape in yesterday's battle further tightened discipline.

Five or six of these dozen sergeants are the original veterans in the county, and they are said to belong to Gan Ning's command, but Gan Ning did not complain about this, but supported it wholeheartedly, because Gan Ning could already see that Yu Ban was indeed much stronger than himself in governing the army, and the other party could be the general of the defending side, and he could only be the general who attacked the city and defeated the enemy.

After the barbarian army returned to the tribe, in order to cover up his defeat, he ordered people to further promote Gan Ning's bravery, and even exaggerated to the point that Xuancheng Gan Ning was the immortal Cheng dù, saying that this Gan Ning can spit out clouds and mist, move mountains and seas, and put a mouth, there will be thousands of flames, and the big knife in his hand is suffocating and bribing Qiaoxian clams and c

Since then, the entire Changsha barbarian people have been terrified when they mention Gan Ning, and even the children cry at night, and when they heard the words "Gan Ning is coming", they were immediately so frightened that they didn't dare to cry anymore.

Let's say that Huang Zhong led an army of 10,000 from Linxiang and prepared to attack Yuannancheng, but when his army just came to Yiyang, he heard that Changsha was defeated and retreated. Huang Zhong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the specific reason, only to know that it was because the barbarians suffered a loss in attacking the city during the day on the first day, and were robbed by the other party at night, taking the opportunity to burn grain and grass, and also lost thousands of men and horses, so they had no choice but to retreat.

Huang Zhong pondered for a moment, and immediately built Yiyang County to hold the city, and then led the army back to Linxiang.

"General, are we not going to attack the city anymore?" One of Huang Zhong's personal soldiers asked.

"Yes, let's give up the siege and return to Linxiang immediately." Huang Zhong sighed and said lightly.

"Why? General, the strength of our troops is definitely not much worse than the defenders of Yuannan, plus we are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, if we bravely attack the city, it is very likely that we will quickly take Yuannan, why give up like this? Besides, the lord ordered you to lead the army to attack Yuannan, but it cost a lot of money and food, and we didn't even reach our destination and returned like this, and you can't explain it, general. ”

The soldier looked puzzled and asked suspiciously.

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "It's useless to go, but it will lose the soldiers, and it will not help, now the barbarians have retreated, the morale of the enemy is high, although we are elite soldiers, but we don't occupy any advantage, besides, the other party's main general can actually hold the joint force of the barbarian army of 30,000 to attack the city, it must be a good defender, even if we sacrifice our lives to attack the city, I am afraid that at most we will capture the city after paying a great price, and then even if we occupy Yuannan, it will be meaningless, Because our current troop supply is limited, the Jingzhou army can be replenished after the loss, but what about us? Once my 10,000 elites are lost, Linxiang will face the threat of Liu Qi's army at any time. It's not worth the loss for us. ”

The pro-soldier thought about it, and also felt that what Huang Zhong said was very reasonable, so he no longer insisted on his opinion.

And when Huang Zhong led his troops to Linxiang City, he was reprimanded by Zhang Xian, who was too guarded: "Huang Zhong, you are an old horseman, are you old and timid?" Yuannan has just experienced a war, the city wall will definitely have traces of destruction, and the moat will definitely not be cleared, you take my 10,000 most elite archers in Changsha 'Tuifeng Battalion', can't you capture a small Yuannan City? ”

Huang Zhong arched his hand and reiterated the reason he had told the pro-soldier again.

Zhang Xian snorted and said: "It is clear that you are afraid that your soldiers under your command will suffer too much, so you deliberately use this to quibble in front of the general, now the war in Youxian County is at a critical moment, you immediately lead your Tuifeng battalion to support Youxian, if you succeed in defeating Youxian County and capture Liu Qi, you will be considered meritorious, if the war is lost, you will be asked for the guilt." ”

After Zhang Xian finished speaking, he threw away the military order and walked away.

Huang Zhong had no choice but to lead the Tuifeng battalion to Yanxian again.

It wasn't until the army left Linxiang that Huang Zhong learned the details of the Battle of Yuxian.

It turned out that Du Raid led a large army to attack Yuxian, but encountered Liu Qi's ambush in the middle, although Du Raid had thought in advance that the enemy army would lay an ambush here, and also made arrangements early, but he did not expect that the other party deliberately started a decisive battle with himself here, and as a result, a battle down, the enemy's main general Liu Qi and deputy general Wei Yan were all brave, and all the soldiers under his command were desperate, plus the wise man Xu Shu restrained military discipline, Wang Cang and Pang Tong took the opportunity to persuade them to surrender, this battle Du Raid was defeated, and lost two or three thousand men and horses, I had to wolf bèi to retreat.

Later, Guiyang Zhao Fan and Lingling Liu Du also sent troops to attack Yuxian, but they all suffered a big loss first, losing two or three thousand men and horses, and then commanded the army to besiege the county seat of Youxian.

It was only at this time that Du Xian reorganized his men and horses and launched an attack on Youxian.

How could Nai County have long been ready to defend the city, not only the city is high and deep, and the defense equipment is excellent, then Liu Qi doesn't know what means he used, so that the fighting spirit of the soldiers is extremely high, and he is not tired at all after holding on all day, and the tripartite siege army finally retreated unwillingly after losing two or three thousand men and horses.

But no one expected that at night, Liu Qi's army suddenly launched a night attack, first of all, Xu Shu led hundreds of people to beat drums outside Liu Du and Zhao Fan's joint camp, so they were suspicious, and the coalition army was frightened all night, and they were worried that they would be ambushed by the other party, so they didn't dare to fight at all.

And Liu Qi and Wei Yan led an army of 10,000 to harass Du Raid in the same way, Du Raid restrained the soldiers to continue to be vigilant as usual, and ignored it at all, but they didn't expect this 10,000 army to really kill in, Liu Qi Wei Yan was already brave, plus this army had an absolute advantage in numbers, so after a night of hard fighting, all the remaining 5,000 men and horses of Du Raid were scattered, and Du Raid had no choice but to lead hundreds of defeated soldiers to flee back to Linxiang.

Early the next morning, Liu Du and Zhao Fan's army learned that the drumbeat that had been making them tremble last night was just the other party's suspicious soldiers, and the real main force of the other party went deep into the Du raid camp at night and defeated Du Raid's army, and they were even more afraid of Liu Qi's strange way of using troops. After discussion, the two decided not to attack the city today, but to defend cautiously, and wait for reinforcements from the direction of Changsha to arrive, and then jointly attack the city.

And once they hold on, Liu Qi and Xu Shu are helpless in a short period of time, after all, the other party has more than twice the strength of their own, and their own troops are already small, not only to divide the troops to defend the city, but also to guard against reinforcements from the Linxiang side, it is impossible to launch a decisive battle with the other party, so they can only suspend the attack.

In this way, although Liu Qi's Yuxian was in the core of the enemy, there was no war in a short period of time, and after a few days of rare peace, Liu Qi and Xu Shu did not dare to take it lightly, because they knew that this was just a short calm before the storm was coming, and the enemy would never let go of such a good opportunity to attack the city, so they began to prepare for the defense of the city in an orderly manner, and sent people to closely inquire about the news of Changsha.
