Chapter 362 Ambush on the way
At dawn the next day, Gan Ning led his troops to advance again and approached Cao Jun's Mobei camp.
When Cao Jun came to report the news, Cao Xi came to fight again and shouted: "Gan Ning, we have given in to each other many times, so don't bully others too much."
Gan Ning laughed and said, "My dear Cao Xi, today is the day you die!"
Turning around, he whispered to Su Fei: "Not far ahead is Cao Ying. I saw a certain person defeating Cao Xi, and then he rushed over to the generals, rushing straight into the camp, catching them off guard, just like when I took Ye County before.
."
The soldiers were in close combat, and the arrows were on the strings, so they had to fire. Su Fei led the troops to prepare, but Gan Ning had already urged his horse forward to attack Cao Xi.
Cao Xi fought with his horse, but was defeated by Gan Ning after only three battles. He turned around and fled. If Gan Ning had not deliberately shown mercy, he would have killed him with a single sword.
"Kill Sui!" Gan Ning roared and chased after him with his sword, while the eight hundred Jinfan army behind him rushed forward together.
Cao Xi retreated, and Cao's army's formation was in chaos. Gan Ning chased him and killed several people in a row. The two armies were fighting in one place. At this time, Le Jin led his troops to respond.
Gan Ning stepped forward to attack Lejin, and the two generals fought. Cao Xi also led his troops back and surrounded Gan Ning's troops. There was the sound of swords and guns clashing everywhere.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Su Fei hurriedly led his troops to respond. The men and horses from both sides fought in a melee, shouting and screaming.
Le Jin and Gan Ning fought against each other for more than thirty years, and they were evenly matched. The two met a good talent and were inseparable from each other. Su Fei defeated Cao Xi, but killed him and retreated.
When he was about fifty, Yue Jin could not stop Gan Ning's courage. He gradually felt that his strength was not enough. He was attacked by a series of fierce attacks and retreated steadily. He gritted his teeth and held on.
When Gan Ning saw that Su Fei had the upper hand and that all Jinfan troops were elite, Cao's army was scattered and scattered. His advantage was now revealed and he laughed loudly and said: "Le Jin, those who surrender will not be killed!"
Le Jin snorted slightly, and fought hard with a stern face. At this time, Cao Xi could no longer resist, and ran away with a diagonal stab. Su Fei then pursued him, and Cao's army's formation was in chaos.
Dong dong dong——
Just when Gan Ning forced Le Jin back and was about to send an order to pursue the enemy, suddenly there was a loud sound of drums in the mountains behind him, and at the foot of Lu Mountain in the rear, countless ambush troops rushed out and hurriedly led the troops to turn around and form a formation to defend against the enemy.
The first general galloped his horse, danced his spear, and stabbed Gan Ning. Gan Ning shouted loudly and tried to parry with his sword. There was a loud noise and both of them retreated.
"Who is coming?" Gan Ning was shocked. He had seen most of the generals in Cao's camp, but he had never seen this person.
"That's Zhang Xiu of Xiliang!" The man turned his horse's head and stared at Gan Ning coldly.
"Hmph, it turns out it's a lost dog!" Gan Ning shouted in a deep voice: "The rear team becomes the front team, follow me and kill!"
Gan Ning stepped forward to attack Zhang Xiu, and Su Fei immediately led his troops to break out of the encirclement, hoping to retreat to the foot of the mountain as soon as possible.
"Hey, Jia Wenhe really has a clever plan, Gan Ning will definitely be defeated!" Le Jin was overjoyed when he saw this from the rear, and came again with his troops.
Cao's army attacked from two sides and surrounded Gan Ning's troops in the valley. The Han army was attacked from both sides, and its formation was completely chaotic.
Gan Ning desperately charged forward to fight, but Zhang Xiu was also known as the master of spears, and his martial arts skills were not inferior to Le Jin's, so there was nothing he could do for a while.
The Xiliang cavalry led by him were also very elite. They rushed down the hillside and swept forward like fierce tigers descending the mountain. They rushed straight into the Han army's formation. Even with the bravery of the Jinfan army, they could only avoid its sharp edge.
.
Cao Xi led his troops to outflank the Han army from the south road, completely blocking the Han army's retreat. The three groups of troops attacked Gan Ning. Despite his strong martial arts, there was no conflict for a while, and screams could be heard from the mountains.
As the morning sun rose into the sky, the two armies were fighting in a melee down the hillside. The Han army had been divided into three parts and was chased and intercepted by Cao's army. Corpses were strewn on the ground and blood flowed into rivers. The battle was very tragic.
When Cao Xi led troops for the first time, he was so excited when he saw that he was about to capture General Gan Ning. He laughed and said, "Mr. Jia has long expected that you are going to attack Mobi. If you want to blame Gan Ning, blame Wolong for his false reputation!"
Gan Ning gritted his teeth and fought. He did not expect that Zhang Xiu, who had not been seen for a long time, would suddenly appear here, and the Xiliang cavalry he led was also very sharp. Sure enough, Zhuge Liang had miscalculated.
"Xingba, hurry up, I'll stop the rear!" Su Fei saw that his troops were trapped in a tight siege, and shouted to Gan Ning to retreat.
Gan Ning refused to abandon his troops and went to fight Zhang Xiu with a loud roar. As long as he killed the man under his horse and blocked Le Jin, he might be able to lead his troops to break through the encirclement.
"Gan Xingba, I will kill you today so that a certain family can regain its power!" Zhang Xiu naturally understood what Gan Ning was thinking, laughed loudly, and held him tightly with his gun.
Just as the Han army was fighting hard, Cao's army was suddenly in chaos at the rear. However, another Han army attacked directly from the outside and killed Cao's army. The banners of Cao's army changed sides and the men and horses fled in disorder.
A general raised his gun and urged his horse, killing Cao's army and causing them to fall on their backs. It was Chen Dao who led the Baijie soldiers to come to support and kill the Xiliang army from behind.
"Reinforcements are here, follow me and kill!" Gan Ning became more energetic, and with several blows, he killed the confused Zhang Xiu back.
Gan Ning took the hammer from his arms and swung it at Zhang Xiu from a distance. He led the Jinfan army to kill the Xiliang army and soon joined Chen Dao.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Le Jin saw that the ambush was about to be completed, but was destroyed by reinforcements. He was furious, abandoned Su Fei, and joined forces with Zhang Xiu to pursue him.
After Su Fei decided to fight to the death, he finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to fight with Cao Xi. He led the remaining soldiers to stabilize the formation and retreat while fighting.
Chen Dao only brought two thousand troops. Although they were elite, they were not superior in number. They were soon outflanked by Cao's army from a distance, and they were still at a disadvantage.
Four generals formed a group at the foot of the hillside, catching each other and fighting. During the melee between the two armies, suddenly there was a loud killing cry from behind the hillside, and reinforcements arrived.
At the sound of horse hoofbeats, a young general was seen leading troops from behind. It was Guan Ping who came to support him again. He immediately divided into two groups with Zhou Cang's troops and outflanked them from the left and right.
At this time, Cao's army had been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers were already a little tired. They were gritting their teeth and fighting with a strong morale. When they saw reinforcements from the Han army arriving, they were all frightened. Their morale suddenly dropped, and their two wings were charged again. The formation was suddenly in chaos.
The Han army was in a tight siege and was fighting to the death. When reinforcements arrived, they naturally fought to the death. Their morale soared. In a blink of an eye, the situation changed and Cao's army was killed and divided into several groups.
Cao Xi was avoiding Su Fei and commanding his soldiers to besiege the rebels. He caught up with Guan Ping and rushed forward to resist. Unexpectedly, Guan Ping was highly skilled in martial arts and lacked preparation. He was killed by Guan Ping's sword.
Cao's army on the left was in complete chaos, and Zhou Cang on the right was also as powerful as a tiger. Zhang Xiu and Le Jin were entangled, and the other generals of Cao's army could not stop the three men from charging and killing each other, so they ran away.
"Retreat!" Le Jin roared angrily when he saw that the situation was over, and he and Zhang Xiu broke out backwards.
Gan Ning laughed wildly and said: "Sneak attack on Gan, do you still want to leave?"
Gan Ning, who had returned from the counter-attack, was furious. Regardless of whether his methods were clever or not, he wrapped Zhang Xiu around with a sword in one hand, took out an iron halberd in the other, and smashed Zhang Xiu's mount directly.
"Despicable!" Zhang Xiu was furious and quickly raised his gun to push away.
Gan Ning slashed with his sword again and laughed, "What do you think of my move?"
However, he untied the copper bells from his waist and hit Zhang Xiu with a bunch of them directly in front of his face. Zhang Xiu hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, but unexpectedly, the copper bells seemed to have magic power and stuck to his helmet, making a rattling sound.
