76. The momentum is like a bamboo

As Sun Ce thought, the three-way army won the first battle one after another. Dream Novel?,。 The update is so fast.

In the north of Jiangxia County, next to Zhangling County, is Ping 'Chun' County, which has been garrisoned by the army led by Xiaoguo Zhonglang Gan Ning. Originally, Sun Ce ordered Gan Ning to be stationed in the four northern counties of the county in order to prevent Cao 'Cao' from secretly playing 'yin' and picking peaches. Now on both sides of the Yellow River, the Yuan and Cao families, and nearly 500,000 troops are facing each other, and Cao's 'Cao' is temporarily unable to take care of Jingzhou's affairs.

However, since Cao '' couldn't take care of it, then Sun Ce had to do it.

The geographical location of Ping'chun County is too important, to the west is Zhangling County, which is garrisoned by Kuaiyue, and to the east is Runan County, since the beginning of the Battle of Guandu, the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Runan began to jump, and Cao Jun couldn't take care of it for a while. Further north, there is Nanyang County, which was garrisoned by Cao Hong in Wancheng.

As a general of Xiaoguo, Gan Ning has 5,000 troops in his hands, all of whom are 'elite'.

Zhangling County is not large, and was originally part of Nanyang County.

Nanyang County was once known as the largest county in the world and the hometown of emperors. The family here is full of heroes, the territory is vast, the population is large, the land is fertile, the products are abundant, and the traffic is convenient. Nanyang County was originally the first county of Jingzhou, as a part of Jingzhou, Nanyang County is geographically speaking, and it is a nail in the heart of the Central Plains.

If Sun Ce gets Nanyang County, then he can go north from Nanyang to the Central Plains at any time.

And if Cao 'Cao' gets Nanyang County, then Cao 'Cao' can directly drink Ma Jiangbei.

In other words, the geographical location of Nanyang County determines that he is the bridgehead for the northern princes to attack Jingzhou, and it can also be a sharp knife for the southern princes to enter the Central Plains.

With the chaos of war, Nanyang County changed hands several times. It was once occupied by Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and Cao Cao.

Today, Namyang County is divided into three. The northern part of Nanyang County, centered on Wancheng, was occupied by Cao Cao's 'Cao', and it was still Nanyang County, garrisoned by Cao Cao's brother Cao Hong. The southern part of Nanyang County was divided into two parts by Liu Biao. The west side was centered on Xinye and was included in Xiangyang County, and was garrisoned by Wen Ping. The place in the east, which is next to Jiangxia County, is centered on Zhangling County, which is divided into Zhangling County by Liu Biao, and is garrisoned by Zhangling Taishou Kuaiyue.

Although Gan Ning, the commander of Xiaoguo Zhonglang, is under the jurisdiction of Xu Sheng, the governor of the North Road, due to the long distance, he has a great deal of autonomy. And the strategic goal assigned by Xu Sheng to Ganning was to seize Zhangling County.

The task of capturing Zhangling County is not easy.

Although the territory of Zhangling County is not large, and there are only a few counties under its jurisdiction, the population is not large, and the army has 10,000 troops, which is led by Kuai Yue.

In terms of military strength alone, Kuai Yue's soldiers are twice as many as Gan Ning, and even temporarily summon the people to win over the young and strong, and they can get another 10,000 people. However, wars are never fought by numbers. In fact, in the era of cold weapons, the courage of soldiers determined the victory or defeat of most wars.

As the saying goes, when the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and there is no huge gap in weapons and equipment, the individual combat ability of the soldiers is very important.

Obviously, in this regard, Gan Ning has no small advantage.

After Gan Ning received Xu Sheng's order and authorization, he began to show his skills.

He has been silent for too long, and after many years, the hero finally has a place to use again. Gan Ning was full of emotion and excitement for Sun Ce, and it was Sun Ce's insight that gave him the opportunity to take charge of the army alone.

5,000 people is not much, but Gan Ning is confident that he will rely on these brave young men to win the entire Zhangling County.

Gan Ning directly ordered his deputy, Shi Wen, the captain of the 'squire' guard, to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to seize the three counties of Fuyang, Suixian, and Xiangxiang outside Zhangling County. And Gan Ning himself, he personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses, day and night, and went straight to Zhangling County.

Zhangling County is not a large county, and although it is located in a key area, it does not have a strong city.

In the entire county, only Zhangling County, the county where Kuai Yue is located, can be regarded as a decent city. For example, the three counties such as Fuyang are just low city walls built of adobe.

Even in Zhangling County, the city is just a little taller, and it is also an adobe rammed city wall, but the difference is that the base of the city wall is about three feet high.

Regarding Gan Ning's reputation, Kuai Yue can be very clear. It's not that Gan Ning is incompetent, it's just that Liu Biao doesn't like his unruly 'sex' personality and thinks that he is not easy to control. In fact, only a more rebellious person like Sun Ce can control Gan Ning. Others, Gan Ning is still not convinced!

Kuai Yue had no intention of concentrating superior forces and fighting with Gan Ning.

It's not that I can't, I really don't dare!

Although Zhangling County has more than 10,000 troops, Kuai Yue is only a literati, although he can command the battle, but after all, he can't hold the blade and Gan Ning alone, plus there is no decent military general under his command, so he can only divide the troops into each county, hoping to consume Gan Ning's troops, and finally left 5,000 troops in Zhangling County to welcome Gan Ning's arrival.

The night was already deep, the moon was not bad, and the stars in the sky were blinking. From time to time, a breeze blew, making the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Battalion hidden in the woods outside the city feel refreshed.

It is not yet the height of summer, but there are still a lot of small insects in the woods and meadows, which are particularly annoying. However, when the soldiers eat, there are no delicate and expensive people, and there is nothing to complain about, plus there are deworming 'medicines' configured by Hua Tuo's special 'door', which can also alleviate a lot.

Gan Ning was dressed in armor, holding a double halberd, holding a tree lightly, and looked up at Zhangling County in the distance. Through the moonlight, looking at Gan Ning's angular side face, it was full of rebelliousness.

"Get ready to do it!" Gan Ning whispered, and soon the orders were passed on to every tunzhong one after another.

In the military system of Soochow, every hundred-man tun is the most basic combat unit. And the tun commander is also the basic officer who commands the battle when the troops are in close contact.

At this time, outside Zhangling County, every tun chief 'drawn' out the ring head knife on his waist. Compared with the simple leather armor on the ordinary soldiers, the leather armor of the tunchang has some iron parts, and the heart guards in front of the 'chest' greatly improve their defensive ability, which is also the best way to distinguish their status.

The night was getting deeper, as if Heaven was helping. Suddenly dark clouds drifted in the sky, slowly obscuring the moon. The moonlight, which had been bright, finally dimmed.

Now is the time! Gan Ning raised his halberd and took the lead in striding towards the city wall of Zhangling County.

In the dead of night, the soldiers' boots rustled on the grass. The torches on the wall are constantly swaying in the wind. The night watchman, holding a spear, leaned against the wall of the 'woman', drowsy and 'desired'.

Dozens of long ladders that had been prepared for a long time were lightly leaned against the wall by the soldiers. The leading commanders raised their swords and climbed the ladder.

Gan Ling is Gan Ning's cousin and has followed Gan Ning for many years. As one of the commanders under Gan Ning, Gan Ling's kung fu is naturally not weak. The seven or eight-meter-high city wall was just a few strokes, and Gan Ling jumped onto the wall.

Looking left and right, the night watchman who was still sleeping with his sword in his hand had already seen Hades in his dream.

Soon, a large number of soldiers of the Xiaoguo battalion ascended to the head of the city, and the entire city head of Zhangling County had been controlled. There were already swift soldiers descending the city ladder, trying to open the city gate.

The sound finally woke up the Jingzhou army in the barracks, and a large number of Jingzhou soldiers rushed out with knives and guns.

Gan Ning's sharp eyes swept over the city, snorted lightly, and already raised the double halberd in his hand and rushed in. Gan Ning rushed like this, as if a tiger had entered a flock.

The bloody wind and rain permeated inside and outside the city wall of Zhangling County.

The soldiers of the Xiaoguo battalion, who were not afraid of death, twisted the winch desperately, the drawbridge slowly fell in a creaking sound, and the heavy city 'gate' was slowly pushed open.

The result is already doomed, and the Jingzhou army in Zhangling County is gone.

Kuai Yue didn't expect that Gan Ning would actually attack the city in the middle of the night, and the defenseless Jingzhou army naturally couldn't resist. And Kuai Yue himself also became Gan Ning's prisoner.

Kuai Yue is the person who was named by Sun Cezhuan's 'door', Gan Ning naturally will not abuse him, and Gan Ning has long heard of Kuai Yue's name.

After Zhangling County was conquered, the rest of the counties in the county were quickly conquered by the Xiaoguo Battalion one by one, which can be called overwhelming!;
