Chapter 170: Breaking the City

Gan Ning is so ruthless, the most uncomfortable thing is, of course, Lejin.

Although he had tried his best to deal with it, and at the same time caused a lot of damage to Gan Ning's side, he still couldn't weaken the enemy's fighting spirit, and the morale of Jiangdong's side was like a rainbow.

After a few days of strong attack, thousands of people died on Ganning's side.

And the defenders of the city also lost thousands of people.

Gan Ning suffered more casualties, but now Hefei City is already extremely messy, haggard, and the city is in tatters, which is very different from the neat appearance at the beginning.

On top of the castle tower, Le Jin looked outside.

At this moment, the enemy army is again preparing to attack the city.

I saw that Le Jin's face was slightly pale, and the dark circles under his eyes were also very serious, which meant that Le Jin had not rested much in the past few days.

It's something that can't be helped.

The enemy attacked at any cost, and Le Jin was not a god, so he could only fight with his spirit.

If you rest by yourself and have an accident, you will die. It is of great significance to be stationed in Hefei, and the enemy army is menacing, which shows the importance of Hefei City.

Beside Le Jin, someone said worriedly:

"General, you go to rest first, if you continue like this, I'm afraid the city hasn't broken yet, and you won't be able to support it."

Hearing this, Le Jin shook his head directly.

Outside the city walls, blood was stained everywhere, and as for the corpses that had been cleaned up, the battlefield could still be seen to be hideous.

Le Jin said solemnly:

"The current situation, how can we rest, the enemy army is menacing, and they are not ready to leave room for our army at all, they will take Hefei at any cost, and they will defend it with all the soldiers.

You don't have to say much, when the reinforcements arrive and the Hefei dilemma is lifted, Ben will naturally be able to rest. ”

Even if Lejin hasn't gotten any reinforcements yet, he has to say so. Only by giving the defenders of the city some hope can they hold on, or they will surely collapse.

In the past few days, the high-intensity attack and defense of the city not only caused heavy losses to the enemy, but also demoralized the defenders of Hefei.

How to have a choice, and who wants to fight?

But Lejin didn't have any certainty in his heart.

It stands to reason that he has already sent someone to send an urgent report, if he is in a hurry, the vanguard of the reinforcements should have sent someone to send the news, why is there no movement now?

Could it be that Xuchang was unable to send reinforcements in time?

It's quite possible.

Even though Hefei's geographical location is important, Wancheng is more important than Hefei. If you have to make a choice between two places, Lejin will also choose to keep Wancheng first.

As for Hefei, it is not that it will give up directly, but if Xuchang cannot gather troops and horses, it can only go to other places to recruit, this process will take time, and it will not be a day or two.

Lejin said he was a little uncomfortable.

But that doesn't affect his mentality.

No matter what, after fighting for so long, how can you easily retreat, it's a big deal to die here.

He was loyal to Cao Cao and certainly would not betray him easily.

Zhang Liao is still locked up in Xiangyang at the moment!

Zhuge Liang did not persuade him to surrender, but Zhang Liao's attitude was extremely resolute and did not mean to waver at all.

Zhuge Liang is not in a hurry, since Zhang Liao is unwilling to surrender, then continue to be locked up, and it is not too late to wait for Liu Qi to come back, and it is not a problem to be locked up for a year and a half, or even three.

Anyway, there is no shortage of a cell in Xiangyang.

But even if Lejin is unwilling to rest, but people have limits, and after so many days, Lejin is exhausted, walking on the city tower, Lejin stumbled and fell to the ground.

I fainted directly.

It can also be said that Lejin is asleep at this moment.

The subordinates tried for a while, and when they saw that Le Jin had no other reaction, they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent him to rest.

They continued to defend the city.

Those who can stay here are, of course, the elite of the Cao Army.

However, this night is not destined to be simple.

While he was falling asleep, it began to rain in the sky.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and both sides looked confused.

The walls of Hefei fell.

After Ganning these

The continuous destruction of the sky, coupled with this sudden heavy rain, overwhelmed the city wall and fell directly, which meant that Cao's defense line was broken in an instant.

Gan Ning, who learned the news, did not hesitate and personally led the elite into the city. He will definitely take this opportunity to completely control Hefei, and then the whole of Huainan will be in his pocket.

"The whole army obeys the order and goes in with the general!"

Gan Ning held an iron halberd and forged ahead, he hadn't charged in a while.

After all, there has been a change in identity.

As the commander of the three armies, if Gan Ning is injured or something goes wrong, it will definitely have a great impact on his side.

If it weren't for the sudden collapse of the Hefei wall, he wouldn't have done this.

As Gan Ning personally led the soldiers and horses into Hefei, the defenders, who did not have many soldiers and horses, had no power to resist at all.

They fought and retreated.

Then he took Le Jin with him, and after some bumps, Le Jin, who had been sleeping soundly, finally woke up.

He looked around a little blankly, and asked hesitantly:

"What's going on?"

The lieutenant general next to him said eagerly:

"General, it suddenly rained heavily tonight, the city wall of Hefei collapsed, and the enemy army directly killed it, and the last general and others couldn't resist it, so they could only evacuate with the general first."

Le Jin was stunned, and he looked in the direction of Hefei.

Pursuers are coming.

On the ground, there are wet traces, and it is a heavy rain.

Lejin is not reconciled, he has done his best.

After holding on for so many days, but now it has fallen short because of a heavy rain, is this the trend of the times?

The city wall collapsed, and this incident is not to blame Lejin.

He had no choice but to retreat with the army, and now he went back to fight, no different from sending him to death.

After successfully entering Hefei.

Gan Ning looked excited, he knew that he had done it, and this was the key passage to the north. And now, Hefei is in their hands, even if Cao Jun wants to take it back, it is not so simple.

When they repair the city here, through the strength of the navy, this place will become a nail stuck in Cao Cao's throat, making Cao Cao nauseous and uncomfortable, but there is no way to do it.

And that's not the end here.

Gan Ning asked Lu Xun to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to build the city, and at the same time guard against the Cao army that might be killed in the future.

At this moment, Gan Ning did not kill Xuchang.

Although Hefei has been won now, there is indeed a chance to approach Xuchang, but the final result is unpredictable.

Even if Gan Ning has a lot of soldiers and horses under his command.

But going deep into the hinterland of Cao Jun, waiting for Cao Cao to react, it was not so easy to leave.

Now Cao Cao dispatched the main force to fight Liu Qi in Hanzhong.

It does not mean that Cao's strength is vulnerable.

If Cao Cao is really so easy to deal with, how can he occupy half of the world?

Now take Huainan first, and then recapture the Lujiang River, which originally belonged to Yangzhou, and the goal has been achieved.

From then on, Jiangdong was invincible in the face of Cao Cao.
