Chaoxian is very close to Liyang, and it is almost the distance to the mouth of the water.

Soldiers, you are fast!

If the news of Jinfan's occupation of Chaoxian County reached Liyang, there would definitely be precautions in advance, so after Gan Ning received the order, he did not spend the night in Chaoxian County, but immediately packed up and set off for Liyang overnight with 5,000 Jinfan soldiers and 50 cavalry.

In the early morning of the next day, Gan Ning had already led a large army to arrive outside Liyang City without realizing it.

Gan Ning did not recklessly attack the city immediately, but let the army temporarily lurk in a forest on the west side of Liyang.

At this time, the city gate of Liyang is still wide open, but this does not mean that Jinfan can easily attack the city, because the terrain outside Liyang City is open, once the Jinfan army enters the field of vision of the city defenders, I am afraid that before they arrive at the city, the other party has already closed the city gate one step in advance.

Due to the hurry, the siege equipment in the Jinfan army was not very sufficient, and the high walls of Liyang City were thick, so it was not wise to storm it.

So, Gan Ning drew a song of men and horses in the army, asked them to change their clothes, dress up as ordinary people and mix into Liyang City in batches, at the same time, Wang Chong handed over to Gan Ning before the letter of surrender, and he sent cavalry to Liyang with fast horses.

Although he knew that the possibility of the other party surrendering on his own initiative was not high, Gan Ning still wanted to try it, if Liyang City could really surrender without a fight, it would be better for Jinfan.

Liyang's city defense is not strict, only about an hour, Jinfan a song of about 500 people, they all mixed into Liyang City, just wait for Jinfan to attack the city, they will kill from the city to seize the city gate, in order to let Jinfan's army enter the city.

After another moment, the messenger to Liyang also turned back.

Gan Ning asked the messenger, "How did the other party react?" ”

"I was shocked, panicked, my face changed several times, although I quickly returned to normal, but it still did not escape the eyes of my subordinates!"

As a messenger, what you need to do is not just to deliver the letter, you also need to know how to read the words, if the other party does not read the letter in front of you, on the contrary, you have to observe every detail of the other party, because sometimes a subtle expression and action can often reveal the other party's truest emotions.

Gan Ning nodded and said, "How did the other party reply?" ”

"It takes time to think about it, and if you say yes, you will definitely give us a clear answer within three days!"

"Within three days? What a delaying tactic! Gan Ning snorted coldly and said to the deputy general beside him, "Immediately let the cavalry go out and block all the passages to Hengjiang and Dangli, but if anyone rides a fast horse through, they will all be intercepted by me!" ”

"No!"

The lieutenant general took the order, and it didn't take long for fifty Jinfan cavalry to quickly gallop out of the woods in five teams, and disappeared into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

Time passed imperceptibly, and soon the time came.

Gan Ning was very calm, he was waiting at the moment, wanting to see if the other party was so ignorant of what he judged.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves gradually increased, and Gan Ning heard the prestige, but it was one of the assorted sail cavalry who was returning at a rapid pace, and it seemed that he had obviously gained something.

"Yu Yu ......"

The Jinfan cavalry pulled the reins fifty steps away from Gan Ning, and the chief of the group jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Gan Ning, knelt on one knee, and handed over a letter: "Yu Du Du, his subordinates shot and killed a Liyang messenger on the path leading to Hengjiangjin, this is a letter that his subordinates found from him, please take a look!" ”

Gan Ning took the letter, opened it, and suddenly burst out of his pupils.

"I don't know what to live or die!" Gan Ning's hand was forced, and the letter was immediately crumpled into a ball.

As Gan Ning expected, Liyang Taishou really wanted to send someone to Danyang to report to Wu Jingfeng, the content of the letter, the content of the letter, is that Wang Chong was named Huainan Taishou and Annan General by the imperial court for some unknown reason, and has occupied Chaoxian County yesterday, and now sent people to Liyang to recruit surrender, he dragged on for three days with the strategy of delaying the army, hoping that Wu Jing would send troops to the rescue as soon as possible, otherwise the three-day period will pass, and the Jinfan who cannot get a reply will definitely raise a large army to discuss, and when the time comes, once Jinfan occupies Liyang, the Jiangdong forces want to infiltrate Huainan again, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Gan Ning was completely enraged, and his thick eyebrows and resolute face were filled with chilling and piercing murderous intent.

"Someone, pass on a certain general's order, the whole army will be pulled out, and the target will ...... Liyang City!! ”

Outside Liyang City, five thousand Jinfan soldiers appeared densely on the ground like ants, and the murderous momentum was like a cold hurricane, blowing the soldiers on Liyang City trembling, their scalps were numb, and the soles of their feet were even colder.

"Not good! It's the Jinfan thief Kou Ganning, the enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!! Fast! Close the gates for me!! Also, immediately report the news to Lord Taishou, and ask him to quickly dispatch someone to help!! ”

When he saw the two big banners of 'Jinfan' and 'Gan' fluttering in the wind in the army, the generals in the city suddenly changed their faces and shouted in horror.

Jinfan is brave, even the Jiangdong Army has suffered a big loss in the hands of Jinfan, who doesn't know on both sides of the Jianghuai River? More than half a month ago, Jinfan captured the mouth of the water, in fact, it was next door to Liyang, at the beginning, they were indeed frightened for a while, and even the city gate was closed for several days, but then saw that Jinfan did not move, and there was Chaohu's Zheng Bao's army contained, they gradually relaxed their vigilance, and the city gate was reopened a few days ago.

But who would have thought that Jin Fan really risked being cut off by Zheng Bao and led a large army to attack Liyang, so that when he was caught off guard, the soldiers at the head of Liyang City were even messed up.

"Kill!!"

Suddenly, the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from the rear, and five hundred Jinfan soldiers who had already mixed into Liyang City in advance killed from near the city gate without warning, and dozens of Liyang soldiers who were about to close the city gate did not even understand what was happening, and they were already cut down in a pool of blood.

Leaving a tun of soldiers and horses at the gate of the city to meet the Jinfan army, the military Sima of the Jinfan army took the remaining 400 soldiers and killed the head of Liyang City without fear of death.

This military Sima knew very well in his heart that the Liyang soldiers were condescending and occupied a favorable position, even if they had already controlled the city gate, if the other party released arrows from the city wall, Gan Ning would inevitably have a large number of casualties when he led the army into the city, so he simply replaced the defense with attack, and completely disrupted the battle situation when the opponent's foothold was not stable, so that the archers in the city could no longer organize an effective attack.

In fact, the number of soldiers on each city wall did not exceed 1,000, and the city wall was small, and the four brave Jinfan soldiers suppressed twice as many enemies as themselves for a while.

"Quick! Quickly drive these Jinfan thieves off the city wall, and don't let the enemy army outside enter the city!! ”

When the Liyang soldiers on the city wall came back to their senses, the pressure of the four hundred Jinfan soldiers suddenly increased greatly, after all, their number was too small, and as the Liyang soldiers on both sides of the city wall continued to press, this Jinfan almost every moment There were people constantly sacrificing, and the situation was gradually controlled by the Liyang soldiers, and the Jinfan retreated step by step, and was soon forced back to the ladder.

Arrows rained down on both sides of the city wall, and the casualties of Jinfan, who were compressed on the stairs, accelerated sharply.

Outside the city, listening to the screams faintly coming from his ears, Gan Ning's eyes were red, because he knew very well what kind of desperate situation this Jinfan in the city was facing at the moment.

"The whole army obeys the order! Hurry forward and follow me into Liyang to support the brothers in the city!! ”

"Kill!!"

"Kill !!"

"Kill !!"

The morale of Jinfan is like a rainbow, and the pace under his feet can't help but be a lot brisker.

Gan Ning took the lead, and the pheasant braved the sparse rain of arrows above like a bolt of lightning, and took the lead in rushing into Liyang City.

Turning the horse's head, Gan Ning pulled his bow and arrow, and his sharp gaze immediately locked on the general of the Liyang Army.

"Die!"

The bowstring snapped, the arrows were like streamers, the bewitching blood sprayed, and the general of the Liyang Army covered his throat and fell to the ground.

"Oh no, the general is dead!"

"It's a disaster, the Jinfan Army has entered the city!"

With the death of their own generals and the flood of Jinfan's army into the city, the morale of the Liyang army instantly fell to the bottom, and the battle situation immediately turned into a one-sided massacre......
