Lu Xun watched Pan Zhang's defeat, in addition to being annoyed, he was even more surprised. Annoyed, Pan Zhang is not the general of Guan Xing, and what is shocked, Pan Zhang is not the general of Guan Xing. Looking at Guan Xing's arrogant demeanor, Lu Xun also sighed silently in his heart, looking at the generals of Eastern Wu, I am afraid that there are not many opponents of him. Now it will not be as fierce as it, and there are not enough soldiers, how can we rescue Gan Ning? Lu Xun couldn't help frowning.

At this dilemma, there was a turmoil behind the Guan Xing army's horses, and a team of cavalry was vaguely seen fighting from the side path and cutting the Shu army in two. Lu Xun took a closer look, and the leader was Gao Ping, who fought with Gan Ning. Although the cavalry led by Gao Ping was only hundreds, it disrupted the battle formation formed by the Guanxing army and horses, especially Gao Ping's one shot, which was even more invincible, and the people and horses passed out, and the Shu army was either killed or wounded, and no one dared to fight for its edge.

Guan Xing saw Gao Ping go and return in front of the battle, and he was even more conflicted in his own army, and he was furious in his heart, so he came forward with a sword. The two of them are also old acquaintances, and they don't answer, so they raise knives and guns together, you come and go, and they fight in one place like wheels. Lu Xun saw it clearly in front of the army, the Shu army was in the conflict of Gaoping, and the formation was gradually chaotic, which was an opportunity to take advantage of, and immediately said to Ding Feng: "I want to watch the general make meritorious service." ”

Ding Feng agreed, and then came over with men and horses. Pan Zhang was especially frightened at this time, only around Lu Xun, and did not dare to step forward. Originally, the strength of Eastern Wu was inferior to that of Guan Xing, but the terrain was narrow, and it could not show the advantage of a large number of people. On the contrary, the Shu army was rushed and killed by the Gaoping cavalry for a while, and the men and horses squeezed each other, making the situation more and more worrying.

Guan Xing fought Gao Ping alone, and it was not as good as it, but Gao Ping did not fight with it, or fought two or three together, or fought four or five together, and then went to the place where the Shu army was formed.

Lu Xun watched Gao Ping in the formation from a distance, rushing left and right to kill as if no one was in a no-man's land, even better than Guan Xing, and he was very happy in his heart, he didn't want to have such a fierce general in the Eastern Wu army since Gan Xingba.

More than half an hour after the battle between the two armies, although the Shu Han army and horses began to lose, they finally outnumbered Dongwu, and gradually the situation recovered and became intertwined. Lu Xun saw that although his soldiers and horses were brave and high, and General Ding Er also fought hard to kill the enemy, he still couldn't take the advantage, and he couldn't help but be busy in his heart. His original intention was to take advantage of the battle between Gan Ning and Guan Ping to lead troops to raid and let Gan Ning get out, how could he have thought of such a hard-fought tear and kill? Now that the war is over, it is inconvenient to advance and retreat, what should we do?

"Governor, General Han's military horse." Pan Zhang next to him didn't dare to make a sound, and at this time, he saw a large group of people behind him, it was the color of Wu Jun's uniform, and there was a big banner with the word "Han" in the army, knowing that it was Han Dang who brought troops to help, so he hurriedly spoke out to curry favor.

Lu Xun looked at it urgently, and sure enough, it was the veteran Han Dang, who brought thousands of fresh troops, and he was overjoyed, and asked loudly: "How did the general get it?" ”

Han Dang swept Lu Xun with cold eyes, and said: "I learned that Xingba was trapped, so I came to help." The war is tight, and it is inconvenient to say more. Without waiting for Lu Xun to say more, he immediately led the men and horses into the battle group.

Guan Xing, Ding Feng's troops were fighting, originally half a catty and eight taels, stalemate, but now Han Dang, these thousands of fresh troops joined, the situation suddenly changed greatly, and the Shu Han army and horses could no longer stop the offensive of the Wu army, and they could retreat. Guan Xing was in the army, seeing that the other party had reinforcements coming, the offensive was strengthened, and he raised his eyes to see that the sun was sinking in the west, and it had been an hour and a half since Gan Ning was trapped. During this period, the war was unfavorable, barely supported, and the soldiers were wounded in vain, but they became a burden of snakes. made up his mind at the moment, ordered the rear army to retreat first, and personally cut off the rear, and then fought and left, and slowly withdrew to the west.

Lu Xun saw that the rear of the Shu army was loose, and knew that Guan Xing intended to withdraw from the army, which was an opportunity to attack and annihilate completely, but he was worried about Gan Ning's life and death, and when Guan Xing led the troops to retreat, he also ordered Ming Jin. Although there are only more than 10,000 troops and horses on both sides of this battle, the terrain is limited, and the battle situation is also very tragic.

Lu Xun looked at the corpses all over the ground, and sighed silently in his heart, although Guan Xing's department had suffered losses, there were tens of thousands of troops in Liu Beichuan. Jiangxia's military horses could not be increased, and although the battle was not defeated, it was actually lost. Lu Xun looked at Gao Ping, Han Dang and the two rode together, and also stepped forward, saying: "The two generals are hard, and this battle depends on the strength of the two generals." ”

Han Dang still looked unhappy because of Zhou Tai's matter, so he only snorted lightly and stopped talking. Gao Ping rolled the saddle and dismounted, cried to the ground, and said, "Wangdu Governor quickly went to rescue General Gan." ”

Seeing that Gao Ping was covered in blood, Lu Xun knew that he had been fighting bloodily for half a day, but he was still so concerned about Gan Ning's safety, he liked it very much, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up in person, and said with relief: "Xingba is my general of Dongwu, can An save it?" General Gao and relaxed. ”

"Thank you, Governor." Gao Ping got up and said, "The last general is willing to be the front." ”

Lu Xun and Ding Fengxian were brave and brave, and they allocated a thousand elites, with Gaoping as the front, and joined forces all the way to look at the trapped place of Ganning. The two places were not far apart, and everyone was eager to save Gan Ning, but after a while, the military horses arrived at the "Leaping Tiger Stream". Gao Pingnai led the army to suppress the formation and sent rangers to reconnoitre. But he turned back to the Chinese army and came to report to Lu Xun.

When Lu Xun heard the report, he came to the front of the army with Gao Ping, looked at the terrain on both sides, and couldn't help sighing: "What a dangerous place to go, no wonder Guan Ping is ambushed here." ”

Gao Ping hurriedly said: "Please give the order of the governor, the last general is willing to go into the stream first to rescue General Gan." ”

Lu Xun carefully inspected the mountain walls on both sides, but he didn't see half of the Shu Han military horses, and he was puzzled in his heart, so he said: "Have you ever sent a horse to explore the horse?" ”

Gao Ping nodded and said: "The last general has come all the way, and from time to time he has sent scouts, but he has not yet returned." ”

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Don't act rashly, wait for the horse to return." I watched Guan Ping's military horses, not here, but where did they go? ”

Gao Pingnai said: "I think I knew that the Metropolitan Governor was coming, so I withdrew the siege." ”

"In this way, Xingba will rest." Lu Xun sighed and said: "Xingba is a famous general in Jiangdong, Guan Ping doesn't take his life, how can he be willing to give up?" The generals on the left and right were silent when they heard all the words. Sure enough, a moment later, the horse returned, and on the mountain walls on both sides, there was no trace of the Shu army.

Lu Xunnai looked at Taniguchi and said in a low voice, "Let's go in together." ”

"Leaping Tiger Stream", the mountain walls on both sides are towering, there is only a narrow path in the middle, in the watery season, here is a rapid, the path is flat, and there is no debris. At this time, Lu Xun and Gao Ping came in, but the ground was full of rocks, mixed with many stumps and broken arms, and the air was also mixed with a strong smell of blood.

At this moment, many Wu soldiers are moving away from the boulders blocking the front on the one hand, and collecting the corpses of their robes on the other. Although Gan Ning has no hope of life, he can't let this generation of famous generals die under the rocks and mountain streams. Lu Xun and the others were silent, and Gan Ning's prestige in the Eastern Wu Army was beyond the reach of others except for the three deceased governors.

Finally, the sergeant carrying it in front shouted loudly: "Governor, General Gan is here." Lu Xun and the others glanced at each other and hurried over. When he got closer, there were five or six corpses between the two boulders, and the bottom person was Gan Ning. The corpses next to him were no longer shaped, only Gan Ning was still intact, I think it was before the boulder fell, these sergeants struggled to block in front of Gan Ning, relieving the speed of the stone, so that Gan Ning's force was relatively slight.

When everyone saw Gan Ning like this, they all burst into tears, and Gao Ping cried bitterly, and his grief was beyond words. Lu Xun slowly stepped forward and, together with the sergeant, gently removed Gan Ning's body from the crowd of dead bodies. Gan Ning's death was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the Eastern Wu army. Lu Xun gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Transporting General Gan's body back to the city, reporting to Marquis Wu, and burying it well." Then two sergeants came over, took Gan Ning's body, and put it in the stretcher next to him. As for the corpses of the rest of the soldiers, they were buried with boulders on the spot, and not long after, Lu Xun took the generals out of the valley and turned back to Jiangxia.

The military horses traveled two or three miles, and Lu Xun called Ding Fengdao: "The general can hold my handsome flag and lead the military horses of the headquarters to go ahead." I came back a little behind General Han, and most of the contacts in the middle were with Tanma. ”

Gao Ping was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Why is the governor like this?" ”

Lu Xunnai said: "I thought about it again and again, but I felt that Guan Ping would not give up easily and withdraw from the siege. I expected that he would not be willing to fight our army in a decisive battle at Yuehu Stream, and that it would be when our army returned to the city, when our defenses were lax, he set up an ambush in an attempt to annihilate our army. ”

Gao Ping looked stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "The governor is really like a god, so it's better to take the end as the front." ”

"When the general fights hard for a long time, it is better to rest for a while." Lu Xun had a good impression of Gao Ping in his heart, and he naturally didn't need him to lure the ambushes, so he said: "There is General Laudin." ”

"The last general commands." Ding Feng waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to change the handsome flag with the word "Lu", and then he saluted Lu Xun and said goodbye. Gao Ping watched Ding Feng leave, the governor could not be violated, and he felt a little regret in his heart, but he couldn't do anything. After Ding Feng took the lead for a while, Lu Xun ordered to move forward slowly.

Sure enough, after traveling for several miles, not far from Jiangxia City, the horse galloped to report, Ding Feng's front was ambushed by the Shu army, and the person who led the troops was Guan Ping, the general of the Shu Han Zhengdong, the number was very large, and the situation was very critical. Lu Xun smiled faintly and said coldly: "Sure enough, it is not what I expected." Then he drew his sword and said: "The generals listen to the order, this is a good opportunity to avenge General Gan Ning, and you can fight with me to kill the enemy to comfort the brothers who died in the tiger stream." ”

The generals remembered the tragic death of the Wu army in the Yuehu Stream, and they all gritted their teeth and were willing to fight to the death. Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Lu Xun said: "General Han led people from left to right, General Gao led people from right to left, and I will lead my troops and horses to attack them head-on, so as to encircle and annihilate Guan Ping's department and avenge General Gan." ”

Han Dang's surprise cooperation this time, hugged his fists and said: "Obey the orders of the governor." "Nai and Gao Ping led their own people and horses, and Lu Xun also had a sword in his hand, and Pan Zhang and others came to kill him.

Guan Ping originally besieged Gan Ning in Yuehu Stream, but because Lin Yang came to report, Lu Xun had led a large army to rescue Gan Ning. He also offered a plan, first withdrew from the siege and left, only waiting for Lu Xun to return to the army, and lay down halfway to attack it, at this time the Wu army's defense was lax, and Lu Xun could be captured. Guan Ping thought about it for a while, and thought it was true, so he ordered that all the boulders he found, no matter how big or small, be thrown down the stream, and concluded that there was no one in the valley, so he led the army away and chose a place to ambush.

Guan Ping and Lin Yang waited for a long time, and sure enough, when they saw the Wu army coming slowly, the "Lu" banner in the army, and said that it was really Lu Xun's military horse, so they killed left and right together. Unexpectedly, after a moment of fighting, he was outflanked by Lu Xun, Gao Ping, and Han Dang, and only then did he know that the strategy was seen through by Lu Xun. At this time, the Jiangdong army and horses were combined with Ganning, Ding Feng, and Handang, which were slightly better than the strength of the Shu army, not to mention the new mourning of Ganning in Eastern Wu, the soldiers used their lives, sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and sandwiched Guan Ping and Lin Yang in the center, and the situation was very good.

Guan Ping was fighting in the army, and seeing that things were not harmonious, Lin Yang said: "The war is unfavorable, you can retreat quickly to prepare for the coming day." ”

Lin Yang nodded and said, "The general's words are reasonable, and the last general is willing to rush to the bloody road and go first for the army." After saying that, he took the horse and led the people out to clash. After a moment of tearing and killing, they met Gao Ping, and when the two met, they were slightly startled, and they fought again. When the two horses intersected, Lin Yang scolded in a low voice: "Faithless villain." ”

Gao Pingnai replied loudly: "Your tricks have been seen through by most of the governors of my family, and you don't get off the horse and die quickly." Lin Yang was slightly stunned, nodded his head, and pulled his horse away, and Gao Ping then chased after him. Lin Yang hung his spear next to his horse, took his bow and arrows, and turned to shoot at Gao Ping.

Gao Ping saw it clearly, but he didn't dodge, and waited until the arrow was near, then he reached out to hold the shaft of the arrow, and Fu Saddle scolded: "The thief dares to sneak attack with a cold arrow? Seeing that he was injured, the surrounding generals hurriedly gathered around him and walked away. As soon as Gao Ping retreated, a gap suddenly appeared in the encirclement line of the Wu army, not to mention Lin Yang's ability, Guan Ping had a long knife behind, who could stop it? They were rushed out of a bloody road by the two of them, and fled to the west, and a group of soldiers either fought, walked, died, or surrendered.

Lu Xun had many soldiers killed and wounded, the second was that it was getting late, and he was afraid of ambush in the dark, and the third was thinking about Jiangxia city defense, and he was not too eager to kill, and led the troops to chase for several miles, so he gathered the soldiers and counted the dead and wounded. In this battle, Dongwu won a slight victory, but there were more than 1,000 casualties, and Gao Ping was wounded by an arrow, which made Lu Xun depressed in his heart, and returned to Jiangxia with his military horses.

After half a day of fighting, all the generals were tired, and although they won a small victory, they did not say a word and walked silently. After traveling for a few miles, he went to the place where Xu Sheng ambushed the soldiers, merged the two together, and took the road to Jiangxia. After a short walk, the men and horses in front neighed, and many military horses came on. In the darkness, I don't know where the military horses are, and I don't know how many there are, everyone is shocked, fighting hard for half a day, even if people are not afraid of war, horsepower is lacking, how can they fight again?

But when we meet on a narrow road, what can we do without a fight? Lu Xun looked at Ding Feng, and the latter stepped forward and asked loudly, "Where are the military horses coming?" ”

The other party asked, "Is it Ding Chengyuan?" ”

"General Zhou." Ding Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, turned his head and shouted, "Governor, it's General Zhou." Lu Xun also heard Zhou Tai's voice behind him, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "Why is the general here?" ”
