374 Go again to Huarong
After waiting for an hour and not seeing any movement outside the city, Gan Ning began to wonder if he had been too tired and nervous recently.
It is very likely that the dog just now was also hallucinating due to excessive fatigue, Gan Ning shook his head and went back to undress and sleep.
As soon as he lay down, he heard people passing by outside, who seemed to be talking about celestial phenomena.
Although Gan Ning was tired, he still came out vigilantly, and when he looked up, he suddenly found a strange phenomenon, why are there more stars in the sky?
No, the stars don't move, these stars are obviously moving, and they are coming from the northwest with a tailwind, a word suddenly appeared in his mind, Kong Ming lantern!
Gan Ning was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly gave the order to go down, and the soldiers all got up immediately and prepared to meet the enemy!
It was too late, and the Kong Ming lanterns in the sky continued to float, and then turned into fireballs and fell towards the city.
In the city of Yiling, there were fires everywhere, which spread rapidly, and soon became ablaze, and this improved Kong Ming lantern was also attached to the oil, which could not be extinguished with water.
There were not a few soldiers who were burned to death by the fire, and in desperation, Gan Ning ordered to open the city gate and lead the rest of the soldiers to rush out of the city.
Whoosh, a burst of arrow feathers shot from the black shadow, and a row of soldiers walking in front fell down in response, Gan Ning secretly screamed! Before the soldiers could pay attention to dodge, with the sound of a drum, I don't know how many Cao soldiers in the dark night, screamed all the way to kill this side.
Although it was night, the first person, Gan Ning, recognized it, because the outline of his head was much more than that of others, and it was Niu Jin, who claimed to be the overlord of the Han River.
Niu Jin didn't speak, he came up and entangled Gan Ning to fight, a three-strand steel fork attacked like raindrops, Gan Ning used the double halberd to fight hard, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
However, the soldiers under Gan Ning were miserable, they had just jumped out of the fire, and their eyes had not yet adapted to the light of the night, how could they face the tiger and wolf-like Cao soldiers? In an instant, the army was crushed and was rushed to pieces by Cao Bing.
Seeing this scene, Niu Jin became more and more courageous, but Gan Ning was disturbed and fell behind, poof! The steel fork injured Gan Ning's left arm, he hurriedly turned his horse and fled, and hundreds of brave Jiangdong soldiers also rushed out of the formation, following Gan Ning in the night I don't know where to flee.
The chasing soldiers behind him shouted one after another, Gan Ning untied the copper bell on his waist, threw it on the ground, and continued to run, not knowing how far he ran, until the sound was no longer audible, he stopped.
The bleeding left arm was simply bandaged, but this arm was like a scrap and could not be lifted at all.
"Who knows where this is?" Gan Ning asked sullenly.
"The little one knows that he has entered Huarong County." A soldier stepped forward and replied.
"In this way, it is not far from Nanjun, and I will go to find the Grand Governor." Gan Ning said, continued to walk along the road, but his mood was extremely complicated, he lost Yiling so lightly, and when he saw Zhou Yu, he could only kowtow and ask for punishment.
While he was walking, a large amount of firewood suddenly appeared on the road ahead, blocking the way. Gan Ning didn't dare to move forward rashly, remembering that Zhou Yu used this method to intercept Cao Hong and the others, he panicked in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "There must be an ambush ahead, is there a feasible way here?" β
It was the soldier who stood up and said, "There is a path on the hill that leads to Nanjun. β
"So march along the path." Gan Ning said, leading everyone to walk on Huarong Road as quietly as possible again.
Fortunately, it did not rain, although Huarong Road was rugged, it was still passable, and a group of hundreds of people finally came to the flat place of the valley, but it was already dark.
The team led by Gan Ning, its wolf bèi's Cheng dù, was not much better than Cao Cao at the beginning, all of them were blackened by fire, their flags were broken, and their saddle horses were not in order.
Gan Ning and the others walked not far along the flat valley road, only to hear a drum rumbling, and a team of more than 1,000 people appeared, stopping on the road.
"Haha, Gan Ning, you are also planning for me! You took the Yiling Tomb before, and now I will die in my hands. Cao Hong laughed.
Gan Ning looked up to the sky and sighed, if his left arm was not injured, he could still fight Cao Hong with all his might, but in the current situation, I am afraid that it will be impossible to escape.
"Cao Hong, if you want to kill or chop, it's up to you, why bother talking so much!" Gan Ning took a step forward and said with his chest straight.
"Hmph, I don't want you to be so bold. But since you can abandon Huang Zu and vote for Jiangdong, why don't you abandon Jiangdong and vote for Cao Gong? Cao Hongsheng was in his hand, and said disdainfully.
"I abandoned Huang Zu because it was too small to tolerate. General Sun Quan took me as gracious as a mountain, and Gan Ning would rather die than surrender to Cao! Gan Ning said awe-inspiringly.
"In that case, Hugh blames Cao for being ruthless!" Cao Hong said, slowly raising the big knife in his hand.
Seeing this, several soldiers around him immediately stepped forward, but no one was Cao Hong's opponent, and they were picked off the horse after a few back and forth. There were also some loyal soldiers who wanted to rush forward again, but they were stopped by Gan Ning and shook their heads slightly.
Now that the general trend is gone, there is no shame to see Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, why let other brothers make meaningless sacrifices? As a prisoner of war, there is still hope for survival, and there is no need to die for yourself.
"General, it's better to fight to the death than to die by the neck!" One of the soldiers said with a righteous awe.
Gan Ning glanced at him, didn't explain, and let out a long sigh, but what he thought in his heart was that this person was very brave, if he had an afterlife and was still a general, he would definitely be promoted heavily!
Gan Ning closed his eyes with a full stomach, but Cao Hong mocked: "I originally thought that you still had some brute strength to use, but if you didn't think about it, you would be an incompetent and useless person who gave up lightly!" Gan Ning, your time of death has come! β
Cao Hong waved a big knife, and with extreme contempt for his opponent, he slashed at Gan Ning.
Just when the knife fell and people died, I saw an old man carrying Chai He on his back on the steep hillside on one side, who looked more than 100 years old. The old man was still humming some strange melodies in his mouth, babbling and not knowing what the lyrics were, but the melody sounded quite smooth.
Cao Hong was stunned for a while, the mountain is so steep, it is not easy to climb with bare hands, it is a miracle that an old man can walk with Chai He on his back, and he is still humming a tune without blushing and panting.
Just when Cao Hong hesitated, the old man's singing voice became louder and louder, and before Cao Hong could react, the old man's figure was blurred for a while, and instantly appeared in front of him, Cao Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back, and the big knife in his hand almost fell off the ground.
The old man threw Chai He on the ground, rubbed his arm and glared at Cao Hong: "I opened this mountain, I built this road, you can go away, don't make trouble here!" β
