"Mr. Dacai" Gan Ning nodded, so he decided that the whole army would retreat to the camp, not to attack the city for the time being, and wait and see what happened.

Wei Gao was quite unimpressed with Lu Ji's analysis, and said some sarcastic and ridiculous things about Lu Ji, which quickly reached Lu Ji's ears, but Lu Ji didn't care, because he knew that Wei Gao didn't mean anything bad when he said those words, but simply distrusted him, and to win the respect and trust of a brave general like Wei Gao, he only showed his talent.

The next day, the scout in charge of monitoring Danyang suddenly came to report, "General Qiyu, it seems that there is civil unrest in Danyang City. Wei Gao, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect that there would really be civil strife in Danyang. couldn't help but look at Lu Ji on the other side, only to see that Lu Ji also happened to be smiling, so Wei Gao's big mouth cracked and showed a kind smile, at this time, Wei Gao's attitude towards Lu Ji had changed subtly.

"Lu Ji, is it time to attack the city?" , Gan Ning asked Lu Ji.

Lu Ji nodded and said, "Now is the time." The general should immediately order the army to attack in three directions. ”

Gan Ning nodded, and then passed the order.

Four thousand Liu troops poured out of the nest and launched a fierce attack on the west, south, and east gates respectively. The resistance of the Danyang army was unexpectedly weak, and it took Liu the army less than half an hour to rush to the west, south, and east walls. Subsequently, the soldiers of the Liu army, who rushed to the city wall, opened the city gate, and the main force of the Liu army entered the city.

rushed into Danyang City, and the soldiers of Liu Jun found that the city of Danyang had become a mess, and they were also soldiers of the Danyang Army, but they were fighting each other at this time.

Seeing Liu Jun rushing into the city, part of the Danyang army was greatly boosted and let out a burst of cheers, and several of them who looked like generals hurriedly greeted Liu Jun.

"Wu Chen, the captain of the Lower Danyang Military Academy, has seen this general, I don't know what to call this general?" , The leading officer came to the Weigao war horse and said humbly.

For this kind of general who is greedy for life and afraid of death and sells his master for glory, Wei Gao naturally does not like it. He glanced at the lieutenant out of the corner of his eye and said, "Well, you go and ask the rebels who are still resisting to surrender, and we promise to treat them well." ”

Wei Gao's demeanor and demeanor were very arrogant, but this captain did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, after all, what kind of face did the defeated traitor have to respect him.

For Wei Gao's order, the captain surnamed Wu hurriedly agreed, and then took his subordinates to various places where they were still fighting.

The main force of Liu's army has entered the city, and there is no suspense in the battle of Danyang. The officers and men of the Danyang Army who were still resisting saw that the general trend had gone, and most of them reluctantly laid down their arms and gave up resistance. However, there are still a small number of particularly hardened people who still resist the death and do not surrender, for these soldiers, Liu Jun can't help but have respect, after several persuasions to surrender to no avail, Gan Ning had to issue an order to strangle. After the unusually tragic bloody battle, all the officers and soldiers of the Danyang army who resisted fell, and the Liu army won a complete victory.

Gan Ning was very happy to win the victory.

"General, I can't find Lu Fan anywhere." , After searching around the city, the general who came back said to Gan Ning with some frustration.

Gan Ning couldn't help frowning, not only Lu Fan was gone, but there were also about five hundred Danyang troops who didn't know where to go.

Gan Ning set his eyes on the few Wenchen generals who had surrendered to Cheng and asked, "Where is Lu Fan?" DID YOU KNOW? ”

Several people immediately exchanged heads, and everyone's expressions were a little nervous. For a long time, no one stepped forward to reply, and Wei Gao on the side suddenly became impatient, and said unhappily in a voice like a broken gong: "What are you guys chirping crookedly!" Quickly answer my general's question! ”

Several people pushed and pushed, and finally the lowest position was pushed out.

The man knelt down in front of Gan Ning and said tremblingly; "General Qiyu, in Lu Fan's army before, we were not cronies, so we don't know what Lu Fan is going to do."

Gan Ning's eyes narrowed, as if he was displeased, "So many people disappeared at the same time, how dare you say that you don't know?" ”

Several people's hearts trembled, and they all quickly knelt down, and said in a frightened tone: "General Mingjian, we really don't know!" Several people knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

Seeing the frightened looks of several people, Gan Ning couldn't help but touch his chin, and then turned his head to look at Lu Ji, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Lu Ji said softly beside Gan Ning: "General, looking at the expressions of these people, they shouldn't be lying. ”

Gan Ning nodded, then turned his head to the few people kneeling on the ground and said in a harmonious voice: "Hey, what are you doing here, hurry, hurry, get up, from now on you will be my Liu Jun's people, you don't have to be like this." ”

Hearing this, several people hurriedly thanked them, then stood up and stepped aside.

At this time, Lu Ji stepped forward and asked the people: "You don't know Lu Fan's plans, so do you know Lu Fan's movements?" I mean, in which direction did Lu Fan go with those five hundred people? ”

Several people glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward and saluted Gan Ning and Lu Ji respectively, and then replied: "We know that a few days ago, Lu Fan led five hundred people out of the east gate, and they haven't seen it since. As for where it went, we really don't know. ”

Gan Ning didn't blame them, and waved them to stand back.

Just as Gan Ning was about to ask Lu Ji's judgment, Lu Ji suddenly came to his senses and said urgently: "Not good! This Lu Fan is afraid that he is heading towards the sea! He must have wanted to escape from Koto, and we couldn't chase him back when he got to sea. ”

Gan Ning's heart jumped violently when he heard this, cutting the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blew and grew again. This Lu Fan is a die-hard member of the Sun family, who fled with 500 elites, and has always been a time bomb. He must not be given any respite.

Gan Ning stood up suddenly: "What a Lu Fan!" It's really not the heart of the Yellow River that doesn't die! ”

Seeing Gan Ning's angry appearance, several generals and Wenchen who had surrendered to Cheng all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Lu Fan Pifu simply doesn't know how to die! Jiangdong already belongs to us, and they still don't surrender at this point. The last general asked for orders to lead the army to pursue Lu Fan, and swore to take Lu Fan's head and dedicate it to the tent! Wei Gao said fiercely with a fist at Gan Ning.

"General, let me go after Na Lu Fan! We will never let the Lu Fan dog thief escape! The other generals also pleaded eagerly.

Gan Ning glanced around at the generals, and then shouted: "Okay, everyone doesn't have to fight, I have fought with him, this Lu Fan is not an ordinary person, just in case we go together." ”

"If", everyone should promise together.

"You wait to go down and gather all the war horses at once, and count as many as you want."

"Yes." , all the generals agreed together, and then hurried out of the house, with Gan Ning's order to gather the cavalry.

"Lu Ji, I'll leave it to you here." Gan Ning patted Lu Ji and said in a deep voice

"If"

When all the war horses were assembled in place, Gan Ning did not stop to bring elite soldiers who could ride horses, about 300 horses. With Gan Ning's order, three hundred people chased all the way to Lu Fan's way.

said that in order to reduce the movement last night, Lu Fan did not collect the war horses in the city with great fanfare, but just ran forward with the elite soldiers, thinking about the way forward while running. Lu Fan is not a fool after all, it is precisely because he discovered the changes of those surrender factions in the city in advance that he decisively gave up the city and became a lost dog. He knew that he would not be able to hide his escape for long, and with the character of those weak capitulators, the city must have been breached at this moment, and he must have betrayed his whereabouts at this moment. If the enemy pursues him at full speed, then his planned opportunity to escape to sea will definitely be in vain.

During this inquiry, there was a report from the guards Pegasus, saying that there was a large group of cavalry chasing this side in the dusty behind.

Do you still need to see this? It must be Gan Ning who sent troops to chase after him, and he will be caught up sooner or later if he runs like this.

Lu Fan was suddenly shocked: "What should I do, this damn Gan Ning, what are you going to do if you chase after me like a wild dog, the city is all for you, will you die if you catch me less?"

At this critical moment, Lu Fan couldn't help but get angry, and said angrily: "Since you Gan Ning don't give me a way to live, I, Lu Fan, am not a bad seed, and I will definitely make you pay the price of blood." ”

Lu Fan suddenly waved his hand, and the whole army stopped, and Lu Fan shouted angrily, "Brothers, Gan Ning is chasing all the way behind, and they are going to kill us. If we don't rise up today, we will surely die, and now that they are chasing with cavalry, we will not have a chance to escape to the sea, and the only hope of survival now is to go west into the deep forest, and then we will join forces with the Shanyue people, so that we can protect ourselves. We may even be able to return to our place one day. ”

When everyone heard this, they unanimously said, "Everything is up to the general." ”

Lu Fan nodded heavily and said, "Okay, let's go west." ”

Gan Ning pursued all the way in the rear, and naturally found that the messy footprints on the road were heading towards the forest, looking at the dense woods in front of him, Gan Ning couldn't help but feel a big head. After all, all he brought were cavalry, and if he rashly entered the forest, the cavalry would not be able to give full play to the slightest advantage, and would even become a burden. That Lu Fan is not an idle person, and he does not bring lambs to the slaughter, and he has more troops than himself, in case he is ambushed, he will regret it.

Although Gan Ningyi is bold, he doesn't dare to dismount and pursue this unpredictable forest at this moment.

As the saying goes, the poor don't chase, seeing this scene, Gan Ning could only sigh, and had no choice but to retreat with his troops, so he could only let Lu Fan escape with his life.

Kure County

At this moment, Huang Xing also led a large team of men and horses to the city of Wu County, and the gate of Wu County was closed at this moment.

Huang Xing walked all the way to a place fifty steps away from the city gate and shouted: "The person in charge of the city, now the tens of thousands of troops of the Sun family have been wiped out, and they are doomed to defeat after this battle." What's the point of you still holding on, it's just to increase casualties. Now those who know each other should hurry up and open the door and surrender, otherwise you will die without a whole body on the day the city is broken. I will give you only one day to consider that if you do not surrender, all those who participate in the defense of the city will be put to death.

At the head of the city, He Qi listened coldly to Huang Xing's clamor outside the city, and saw Huang Xing quietly waiting for a response, he was even more indignant.

He was 100% loyal to Sun Ce, but now that Sun Ce is dead, Sun Quan's army is even more vulnerable, and it was all defeated in the first battle. But loyalty does not matter the two masters, this has always troubled him, but when the time comes, it will be enough if he does not surrender and be killed, if it affects these soldiers who defend the city, he will not bear it.

"Fight or not fight"

This difficult question was quickly placed in front of He Qi. He Qi's choice couldn't help but be a little difficult.

Sun Quan's army was completely defeated by Liu Xun, and Sun Quan himself was even more panicked like a lost dog. The morale of the soldiers on the city tower has fallen to the bottom, and at this time they can only choose to shrink back in order to survive.

"Please go to war, these dog thieves have hit the door, how can we endure it, we would rather die on the way to the charge than live like this."
