Chapter 69: Capture Gan Ning alive
"I'm afraid it's a little slower to snatch people from the general's hands at this time, hahahaha!"
Looking at the Jiangdong army swarming outside the city, Deng Ai, who was laughing, stretched out his hand and waved, and then saw countless sergeants carrying the boiling cauldron again and pouring it down towards the ladder and Jiangdong army under the city.
"Woohoo!"
"Ah......h
It's just that, unlike the foul-smelling gold juice of the previous time, this time the defenders spilled something, not only did not have the previous stench, but accompanied by the miserable wail of the Jiangdong Army, and bursts of scorched 'meat fragrance' instantly filled the entire battlefield under the blowing of the breeze.
"Not good!"
Smelling the 'meat aroma' coming from the wings of his nose, Lu Xun couldn't help but change his expression suddenly.
"Boom!"
Sure enough, as Lu Xun expected, just as his expression changed greatly, as torches fell from the city, in just an instant, a raging fire broke out under the city, and the Jiangdong army that had just rushed to the city immediately wailed and hugged the head of the mouse.
……
"Well, it's going to depend on how much oil you have to burn! Pan Zhang, Chen Wu, you two immediately purge the sergeants, and attack the city as soon as the fire is extinguished! ”
Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Lu Xun, who had just gathered the army, couldn't help but snort coldly.
Speaking of which, don't look at these two rounds of siege battles, the Jiangdong Army seems to be inferior, losing a lot of men and horses. But in fact, in addition to the hundreds of cavalry who rushed into the city with Gan Ning, Lu Xun really didn't pay too much attention to the other more than 1,000 foot soldiers who lost.
Therefore, while he was waiting for the fire outside the city to be extinguished, he immediately arranged the next siege battle at this time.
"General, the ladder and the rushing car have been burned, I'll wait ......"
After hearing Lu Xun's order to purge the army and prepare to attack the city again, Pan Zhang and Chen Wu couldn't help but look at each other.
"Hmph, can't you storm a city without siege engines and ladders? Nail those big crossbows into the city wall, isn't that the current ladder? ”
Looking at Pan Zhang and Chen Wu's expressions looking at each other, Lu Xun raised his hand and pointed at the hundreds of crossbows that had not been destroyed.
……
"Hahahaha, Gan Xingba, you are also a man, as long as you are willing to surrender, how about this son spare your life!"
Just when Deng Ai was hindering the Jiangdong army from attacking the city with fire, in Panyu City, Gan Ning, who had rushed into the city before, was already in a desperate situation.
The more than 400 elite troops who originally rushed into the city with him had already suffered most of the casualties at this time, and only more than 100 people remained, and all of them were injured.
"Whew! Capricious, faithless and unrighteous villain, death is death, you should be as incorruptible and shameless as your father and son? ”
looked at the smug emblem dozens of steps away, wiped the blood of the people and horses splashed on his face, and used his war knife to support Gan Ning, who was shot through the thigh by a crossbow arrow, but he scolded him with disdain, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw.
It's just that hatred is hate, it is a distance of dozens of steps, but it makes Gan Ning, who hates the root of his teeth, can only cry out in vain.
Because less than a few steps in front of it, there are several huge craters that occupy the entire street in succession.
On both sides of it, on the houses and rooftops on both sides, more than 2,000 soldiers were aiming at them with crossbows.
Not to mention the direction of the city gate they rushed into in the rear, not only was there a raging fire outside the city, but even the sturdy wooden fence that temporarily served as the city gate had already been reinforced by the Jingzhou army with thick planks and sandbags again.
Therefore, at this time, Gan Ning, who could not advance and retreat, had no choice but to surrender and die in battle.
"Shameless for your face, kill this brocade thief for my son!"
As the saying goes, exposing people does not expose shortcomings, and hitting people does not slap their faces. Shihui, who originally wanted to persuade Gan Ning to surrender, was annoyed and angry, and even gave the order to shoot Gan Ning.
"Live...... Stop it! ”
Seeing that a group of sergeants were about to buckle the hanging knives of the crossbow in their hands under the order of the sergeant, with a loud roar, it was Deng Ai, who had been supervising the battle in the city before, rushed over in time.
"Who made you...... Shoot Gan ...... General Gan's? ”
Glaring at Shi Hui, Deng Ai couldn't help but look annoyed.
You must know that although I didn't know that I would catch the big fish of Gan Ning this time, before this battle, Deng Aike had already explained to Shihui that the Jiangdong generals who entered the city could only be captured alive, not killed.
"Shizai, Gan Ning has no intention of surrendering at all......"
Looking at the annoyed look on the face of Deng Ai, who was younger than himself, Shi Wei couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Gan...... General Gan, put down your weapons. Even if you don't...... Don't think about yourself, you ...... What about you brothers? All...... It's all old ...... who have followed you for many years Brother, you can't bear to look at it...... Watch them die...... Dead in front of you? ”
Chong Shihui waved his hand, but Deng Ai persuaded Gan Ning to come down again.
It's just that unlike Shihui's previous persuasion, Deng Ai chose to start with Gan Ning, the old brothers who followed him since he became a water thief.
"Uh......"
Sure enough, being persuaded by Deng Ai like this, Gan Ning, who had sworn to die before, couldn't help but hesitate at this time.
There is no way, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and seeing that there are not many brothers left who have followed him for many years, how can Gan Ning really be ruthless.
"Boss, I have a big scar on my head. Death is death, we are not afraid! ”
Looking at Gan Ning's tangled and embarrassed look, how could these parts that he had followed since he was a water thief make it difficult for him to do, even if he was full of righteousness and answered for him.
"Brothers, I'm sorry for you!"
Looking at these injured old brothers, Gan Ning couldn't help but choke up a little.
At this moment, Gan Ning is no longer a general, but has turned back to the invincible 'Jinfan thief' in the past!
"Haha, when did the boss become such a mother-in-law? Isn't it just a death, and the brothers are very happy to die on the same year, month, and day as the boss! ”
Not only Gan Ning, but at this moment, these remaining troops have also changed from generals to those heroic water thieves in the past.
"You also saw this general, it's not that our 'Jinfan thief' doesn't think about the brothers, it's really that our brother doesn't have that soft bone on his body, and he can't descend, hahahaha!"
In the end, Gan Ning, who once again abandoned the idea of life and death, laughed at Deng Ai with an 'arrogant' face.
"Taxi to see ......"
Looking at the arrogant Gan Ning and the others, Shihui persuaded Deng Ai again, wanting him to kill Gan Ning.
"Gan...... General Gan is like ...... Such a deep brotherhood, this general ...... Admiration to the fullest. In this way, Ben will not be ...... You don't need to surrender, as long as General Gan lives in this Panyu city...... Just stay for a while. At that time, the general will also ...... You can also take Panyu City with you to re...... Return to Koto. ”
Chong Shihui waved his hand again, and in the surprise and puzzlement on the faces of Gan Ning and the others, after a little thought, Deng Ai re-prescribed a condition that the other party could not refuse at all.
