Chapter 633: Survival
If Fan Chou was both afraid and regretful after running south, then Gan Ning, who took the lead in pulling out the camp, would have a long howl to the sky and go out.
Damn, I'm fed up with the local dogs in Liangzhou, this time I'm willing to live for myself and take my brothers to live.
At the military meeting that night, Gan Ning could say that without saying a word, he listened to all parties fighting for their own interests, and finally came up with a ridiculous strategy for a decisive battle tomorrow.
Gan Ning knew very well that Lu Bu was right, if you really want to fight, then you will fight that night, and everyone will die and live together, instead of hesitating like a mother-in-law.
So when the military discussion was over, Gan Ning on the way back to the camp had only one thought:
"I'll kill your grandmother."
After Gan Ning returned to the camp, he called all the generals and above to the big tent.
These people have almost involved the most basic officials of the Ganning Army, and this time they were all present.
When these people came, the whole camp was silent, and the people and horses were silent, only the stars and the moon hung in the sky, illuminating the hearts of the people in panic.
After these people entered the account, they saw Gan Ning in a daze, they didn't dare to disturb, and they all tacitly retreated outside the tent to wait.
These Ban Yu warriors and Yizhou rangers who have been with Gan Ning for a long time know very well that whenever this time comes, Gan Ning must have made a major decision.
Yes, Gan Ning's decision tonight can be said to be the most courageous decision he has ever made in his life.
That is, the camp was pulled out overnight.
It can be said that there is no psychological burden for those people in Liangzhou to make this decision, but for the proud Gan Ning, it is as difficult as the sky.
He knew very well that once his side pulled out of the camp, it was likely that there would be unpredictable consequences. At that time, no matter how many reasons Gan Ning had, in fact, he would betray his allies to survive.
This makes the conceited and arrogant Gan Ning how to do it.
But if he doesn't, Gan Ning is really unwilling.
If the first emperor was there, he would fight to the end. Even if he is not the first emperor or the little emperor, he will fight to the last soldier. But who's behind him? It's Hu Zhen, it's Dong Zhuo, what are they, and they want me to go and sell their lives to Gan Ning?
When he looked up, he saw his brothers silently guarding outside the tent, and his heart was warm, and he did not hesitate.
Gan Ning called everyone into the account, sighed lightly, and asked:
"Do you know what's going on now?"
The brothers were speechless, in fact, they were really unaware of the change in the situation. In their opinion, now it is just the same as in the past, and the enemy may be stronger, but it is enough to fight.
But they are not stupid, and from Gan Ning's appearance, they know that there must be some crisis waiting for them. So a swarthy barbarian man came up and said in Chinese:
"Qu Kui, just tell us how to fight. All you have to do is give the order, and we'll go to the soup. ”
Gan Ning nodded, no longer explaining what was in the tent tonight, but said:
"I've decided to take you out of camp tonight."
The generals present gasped, of course understanding what this meant, but none of them said a word.
In the middle of the night, someone asked:
"As soon as we leave, what should Captain Shen do? Will it be affected by our army? ”
Shen Lieutenant, Shen Miye. His subordinates have always been in the same breath as the Ganning Army, advancing and retreating together, and some military officials asked so.
Gan Ning replied:
"Old Shen has always been clever, as soon as I leave here, he will definitely follow me, don't worry about them."
Another ranger, who thought deeply, asked such a concern:
"If there is no order to pull out the camp, the court will definitely punish us for a big crime. How should the lieutenant deal with it then? ”
Gan Ning shook his head, half contemptuous and half self-deprecating:
"I have seen the pattern of the imperial court clearly, and now whoever has soldiers will take care of whom. If I can really take everyone out safely, maybe I will still be innocent? Besides, I'm running for my life now, and I can't take care of it in front of me, so how can I care about it in the future? ”
There was silence again.
This is really a bit difficult for these men on the battlefield.
Finally, Gan Ning's slashing brother Lou asked the last question:
"If we retreat, we must pass through the jurisdiction of Li Dao and Guo Yan. Our army does not have a letter from the Chinese army, how can these two armies get by? ”
Gan Ning is actually having a headache with this, but things are never done when everything is ready, and he can never wait for this time, he can only take one step at a time.
So he glanced at Lou Fa, and suddenly ordered loudly:
"The congregation will listen to ......."
Then Gan Ning dispatched each department, which one went first, which one guarded, which one was in the center, and which one was behind the palace, and arranged the retreat in an orderly manner.
In this way, all the generals saw Gan Ning's determination, and there were no distractions, and they followed the order.
Soon, the generals were divided into battalions, and without raising flags or blowing trumpets, they gathered silently to the south.
Gan Ning walked ahead, quietly heading south with his 1,600 men.
Their defense area was in the northeast of the battlefield, and in the process of going all the way to the south, they naturally encountered Pang Yan and Yang Fu, who were friendly troops in the West Garden.
At that time, a military officer saw Gan Ning heading south and asked strangely:
"Captain Gan, the enemy is in the north, why is it going south?"
Gan Ning simply replied:
"Our army has been fighting for a long time, and the commander has written a book, retreated to the south, and rearranged the formation."
The military officer did not suspect it, and went directly back to the camp to make a report, and soon returned to the opposite side and let Gan Ningjun go.
Gan Ning hugged his fist towards the darkness in the distance, and then continued south with the army.
At this time, Lou Fa beside him couldn't help it anymore:
"Is this real?"
Gan Ning paused his righteous brother and sneered:
"Of course it's fake, then Pang Yan and I participated in the military meeting, do I have a new military order, will he not know? I knew this Pang Yan was going to run. ”
Lou Fa pouted and didn't speak again.
Gan Ning then continued southward, and after passing through Pangyan's precinct, he turned southwest and plunged headlong into the Bird Mouse Road.
And not long after Gan Ning and the others left, Shen Mi's department, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren also retreated south, and they still left Pang Yan's jurisdiction.
It is not strange that Shen Mi and Yan Yan left, but it is rare for Zhang Ren, a daring faction, to leave. In fact, Zhang Ren understood a truth after experiencing the brawl with Li Meng and other Liangzhou troops.
It's really difficult, it's still us Yizhou compatriots who will help you. So he decided to advance and retreat with Shen Mi and Yan Yan.
When they passed through the Pangyan district, they were also stopped.
If the reason given by Gan Ning was still like a thing before, then the reason given by Shen Mi was almost perfunctory.
In the dark, Pang Yan's face was flushed, looking at the dense Yizhou army in front of him, and he burst out with a sentence:
"You say, you're all going to the south to pick up? Draw water? ”
Shen Mi and they didn't see him, so they asked a Chinese military official to give such an answer.
The guard, who felt that he had been humiliated to the point of intelligence, was immediately about to blow the trumpet, and at this moment a man came from behind and said something to him, and the military officer suddenly came to his senses, and then shouted:
"Release."
As a result, the three divisions of the Yizhou Army went south in a grand manner.
As soon as the Yizhou army withdrew, Pang Yan in the camp sighed at Yang Fu, Pang Shu, Zhang Gong, Zhou Lie, and Fu Xun in the tent:
"Alright, let's go. No matter what the final result is, the disaster is caused by the Yizhou army, and we are only coerced. ”
The five generals in the field, except for Fu Xun, who blushed and had dry ears, only felt that he had done a pickled thing and insulted the family. But when several other people have reached a consensus, he can only follow the trend.
In this way, not long after the Yizhou military system left, the Yongzhou soldiers of the fifth battalion also ran south. It's just that they didn't walk the same way with the Yizhou army, but walked thousands of miles to the southeast.
Over there, Gan Ning not only successfully withdrew from the Dusuoyuan battlefield, but also took away many military horses of the Liangzhou Army in the rear when he left.
After hundreds of more horses and mules, all the 1,600 men under Gan Ning's command turned into cavalry and retreated quickly towards the Bird Mouse Road.
Behind them, the Dusuo battalion was already in chaos, and some of the Liangzhou generals who had realized that Gan Ning had a problem with them had already led their troops to pursue them.
But before they could catch up with Gan Ning and them, they were killed by Shen Mi, Yan Yan, and Zhang Ren, who were killed from the rear.
Gan Ning just led people to turn around and fight back, and when he saw that the three generals had arrived here, he was overjoyed.
So, after a round between the two sides, they counted the number of people again, and finally found that the combined number of soldiers of the four battalions was only more than 7,000 people.
Thinking that day, their four battalions of the Yizhou army, with a total of 12,000 elite soldiers, went out of the Mouse Road, but now only 7,000 children have turned back, which is really sad.
It was also this inventory that Zhang Ren, who was still hesitant, had no opinion on withdrawing troops to the south.
In this way, the Yizhou military system, which totaled less than 8,000, thought about it and followed the Bird Mouse Road and meandered southward.
At this point, the Kansai soldiers of the Dusuo battalion collapsed. These more than 40,000 people and horses are divided into four major units, one is Gan Ning and their Yizhou army, walking the road of birds and rats. One is the generals of Yongzhou, who go thousands of miles. One is Lu Bu and the state army, to the east, intending to go to the party.
The last strand is Fan Chou. They are the most chaotic, some walk the way of birds and rats, some walk thousands of miles, and even those who think Lu Bu is brave and intend to follow them to kill.
In short, the armies and wolves rushed to each other, and each died.
But if you want to say that the most neat ones in it are Gan Ning and them who are the first to go.
When Gan Ning left, it was very well arranged. Even after the three generals converged later, because he moved the camp first, the three generals were willing to listen to him.
Therefore, along the way, all armies and battalions were able to follow the banner closely, and not one of them fell, marching along the Bird Mouse Road all the way.
This walk came to the sky is about to white, the more than 7,000 Yizhou troops are tired and hungry, this finch and mouse road is full of 100 miles, and it will take three days to walk in the past.
But in just one night, they were already halfway away, which shows how anxious and tired they were.
In the end, they had no choice but to rest in place for a while.
At this time, Gan Ning, Shen Mi, Yan Yan, and Zhang Ren sat together, chewing dry cakes on the cool Fen River water.
The atmosphere was not too heavy, after all, no matter what everyone said, they would have come out with the brothers.
It's just that there is still a hint of gloom in the hearts of the four of them. In the end, Yan Yan said:
"Don't you think it's strange, three? In the original arrangement, this finch and mouse road was Li Dao's jurisdiction, but we walked almost halfway, and we haven't met this person yet, you say, what is this Li Dao doing? ”
Shen Mi was the most unscrupulous of the four, and after listening to Yan Yan's words, he said casually:
"What can you do, I'm afraid you're just watching us from the mountain walls on both sides?"
This was said scary, Yan Yan really believed it, and hurriedly stood up and looked at the high ridges on both sides.
But apart from the rising sun that was about to erupt and the cold that had not yet been dispelled by the ridge, it was as if there was nothing. But Yan Yan looked again, but saw that the crooked grass and trees on the ridge seemed to be the Liangzhou army, looking at him condescendingly.
Yan Yan's spirit had long been highly nervous, and the whole person was under stress. Na Gan Ning saw that Yan Yan's spirit was wrong, and hurriedly pushed him.
But he didn't want Yan Yan to pull out the knife and cut it towards Gan Ning, this knife came in many pieces, in short, Zhang Ren, who was conscious of martial arts, didn't capture the trajectory of the knife.
But Gan Ning made a side sound, and the whole person rubbed into Yan Yan's arms, holding Yan Yan's right arm under his armpit, and pressed Yan Yan to the ground with one twist.
Yan Yan was bare-eyed, with soil in his mouth, constantly panting. And Gan Ning, who held him down, scolded:
"Old Yan, what's the madness?"
As he spoke, he turned into a hammer with one palm and gently knocked on Yan Yan's skull.
Being knocked by this, Yan Yan came back to his senses, and was a little embarrassed when he saw this posture, and said:
"Lao Gan, don't you come down yet?"
Seeing that Yan Yan came back to his senses, Gan Ning let go of him, but he still stepped on the figure-eight steps under his feet, ready to deal with it.
Yan Yan felt embarrassed over there, sat on the ground again, picked up the cake and nibbled on it.
Seeing that Yan Yan was really fine, Gan Ning put a foot on Shen Mi's thigh and scolded:
"When is it, still sell your mouth, you restrain yourself, next time Lao Yan pulls out a knife and cuts you, I'll see how you hide."
Shen Mi, who was scolded, was also a little embarrassed, smiled, and handed a piece of meatloaf in his arms to Yan Yan, which was regarded as making amends.
Only Zhang Ren realized how powerful Gan Ning was, and he had a higher evaluation of Gan Ning's martial arts in his heart.
Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Ren coughed in his throat and explained:
"This finch and mouse road is a hole in a hundred miles, and it is this road from north to south. So if Li Dao is still here, he only needs to fall a barrier to stop us, and he won't need to climb that mountain at all. And our army has been walking for half a night now, but they have not seen a single soldier of Li Dao, which means that this person is not on the Bird Mouse Road. ”
Gan Ning and the three of them thought about it, this is the truth.
As for Li Dao, where will he be if he is not here? They don't want to bother with it.
After that, the four generals arranged the troops to take turns to keep vigil, and then the departments rested in turn.
I didn't sleep all night, and after doing such a big thing, the four generals were very tired and soon fell asleep.
And this sleep slept until three poles of the sun.
At this time, the military officer in charge of the guard hurriedly rushed to wake up the four people.
Sleepy-eyed, Gan Ning and the others knew a bad news:
"You said there was a Tarzan army behind us?"
Seeing that the military officer nodded again, the four of Gan Ning were silent for a while, and they looked at the officials behind them again, seeing that they were also weak like themselves, and their hearts were miserable.
After staying up late and waking up, everyone knows how bad it is.
But the pursuers have already arrived, and no matter how bad they are, they have to get up and fight hard.
So, after waking up the various departments again, the four generals of Gan Ning walked to the rear of the team together to watch the assault cavalry on the opposite side.
Strange to say, the cavalry came to a halt less than two miles from them, and it seemed that they were in poor condition, and some of the knights at the head of the line had torn armor and were covered with blood.
Listening to Lou Fa's report later, this group of cavalry was very strange, so they stopped here and didn't come to fight. He chose a group of people to fight back, but they only retreated far away and did not fight, as if they were looking at themselves and had no heart to fight.
Gan Ning thought about it and said to Zhang Ren:
"Lao Zhang, you will continue to lead the brothers forward as the leader of the platoon for a while, and I will stay here as the queen of the palace. I want to see what kind of work these Tarzan troops are going to do! ”
