On a new day, Jiangzhou's offensive and defensive battle is about to start again. Liu Zhang's military drums and trumpets are blasting, and twenty wells are lined up in a row, forming a sharp contrast with the city wall.
Just as Zhao Wei expected, there were 500 people standing on each well, and 20 wells were exactly 10,000 people!
The soldiers guarding the city wall had already been frightened to death. What they had to face today was a salvo of thousands of arrows above their heads!
Thousands of arrows may have been a metaphor before, but today, it is definitely a real thousand arrows!
At the city gate, two thousand men and horses have gathered. Zhao Wei, Zhao Xiong, Gan Ning, Shen Mi, and Lou Fa gathered at the foot of the city.
Originally, Gan Ning planned to lead Shen Mi, Lou Fa and 1,600 soldiers to raid Jinglan. Zhao Wei felt guilty or worried about the lack of troops, so he took the initiative to ask his brother Zhao Xiong to lead 400 soldiers to assist Gan Ning.
"General Gan, please!"
At this point, Zhao Wei didn't know what to say. He knew that this might be the last time he saw Gan Ning's face.
Gan Ning's eyes burst with strong fighting spirit, without any fear.
"Prefect Zhao, please go up to the city wall first and see how I can accomplish my feats!"
Zhao Wei nodded heavily and secretly swore in his heart that as long as Gan Ning came back alive, he would be reused in the future.
"General Gan, take care!"
"Prefect Zhao, please!"
Looking at Zhao Wei's slowly leaving figure, the corners of Gan Ning's mouth began to curl up unconsciously, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Gan Ning turned around and glanced at the soldiers at the city gate. Zhao Xiong was still counting the soldiers, while Shen Mi and Lou Fa stood there, looking at Gan Ning with vague eyes. Showing a smile.
As the shouts of killing rang out outside the city, today's city attack and defense battle officially began. It was also the time for Gan Ning and others to leave the city.
"General Zhao, are you ready?"
Zhao Xiong nodded seriously, but the fear in his eyes could not be hidden.
If it weren't for Zhao Wei's strict order, Zhao Xiong would not be willing to leave the city and die!
"After the city gate is opened, the suspension bridge will directly cross the moat. General Zhao will directly destroy the well fence in front of him, and leave the well fences on both sides to us!"
Hearing Gan Ning's arrangement, Zhao Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.
The well in the middle is closest to the city gate. If you are lucky, you may be able to come back alive.
But the two sides are different. As long as you go there, you will definitely have a narrow escape!
"Don't worry, General Gan, I will definitely complete my mission!"
"Okay! If General Zhao is ready, then open the city gate! Today we will live and die together!"
Zhao Xiong nodded seriously, but felt extremely contemptuous in his heart.
Who wants to live and die with you? After I destroy the well in front of me, I will return to the city without hesitation and close the city gate!
As for you Gan Ning, haha, you can only ask for your own blessings!
"Open the city gate and put up the drawbridge!"
Zhao Xiong gave an order, and the soldiers at the city gate moved quickly, and soon the sound of the city gate and the suspension bridge was heard.
Kick, kick, kick...boom!
The city gate of Jiangzhou was opened, and the suspension bridge was lowered, crossing the moat and directly connecting to the other side.
Since the siege had just begun, Liu Zhang's army was still relying on the archers on the wells to suppress fire, and there were no soldiers building pontoons on the other side of the moat.
Jiangzhou City's biggest threat had been exposed before his eyes. Zhao Xiong raised his sword directly and then roared.
"Soldiers, follow me and charge! Destroy the well in front of you!"
"kill!"
The soldiers under Zhao Xiong roared in unison and rushed out of the city following Zhao Xiong's footsteps.
But as soon as Zhao Xiong rushed out of the city gate, something unexpected happened!
What awaits them is not a broad road, but countless sharp arrows!
Several wells began to turn their arrows, directly shooting hundreds of soldiers, killing and injuring most of them. If Zhao Xiong hadn't run fast, he would have been shot into pieces!
Then an even more shocking scene happened. As soon as Zhao Xiong returned to the city gate cave, he saw Gan Ning holding a broadsword and slashing at the ropes of the suspension bridge!
"Gan Ning, what are you doing!"
Gan Ning ignored Zhao Xiong's scolding and slashed at the rope one after another.
This is not over yet, Shen Mi and Lou Fa are not idle either, they are slashing at the rope at the other end!
As the gap became larger and larger, the rope was finally overwhelmed and broke immediately!
Once the rope is broken, the suspension bridge can never be closed again. So the biggest problem that hindered Liu Zhang's army from crossing the river was actually solved!
"Gan Ning, do you know what you are doing!"
Zhao Xiong didn't understand the situation at all and ran to Gan Ning and shouted angrily.
"What are you doing? It's strange that Zhao Wei, a loser, appoints a fool like you to be undefeated!"
"What did you say!"
No matter how stupid Zhao Xiong was, he understood everything after hearing these words.
Gan Ning rebelled!
Thinking back to Shen Mi and Lou Fa's actions of cutting off the ropes of the suspension bridge, I was already convinced that these two people were just like Gan Ning, and they were all rebels!
"Soldiers, Gan Ning, Shen Mi, and Lou Fa are seeking glory from the Lord. Kill them quickly. Governor Zhao will have a heavy reward!"
Most of the 400 people Zhao Xiong brought out have been shot to death. There are only a few dozen people left beside him, but there are still 1,600 soldiers inside the city gate!
Eight hundred of these soldiers are still direct troops of Zhao Wei. As long as they rise up, they may not be unable to fight!
Although the ropes of the suspension bridge were damaged, Liu Zhang's army could still be kept out as long as the city gate was closed.
However, the development of the matter was not as Zhao Xiong expected. The eight hundred direct descendants of Zhao Wei who he considered did not respond at all, and they all stood there blankly.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill the rebels!"
These soldiers were still indifferent to Zhao Xiong's orders, which made Zhao Xiong instantly feel the crisis.
He discovered the conspiracy of Gan Ning and others, how could the other party leave him behind!
Now that Gan Ning and others are occupying the city gate, Zhao Xiong has no way out, but there are countless archers above the well behind him. If they go out, they will only be shot into hedgehogs!
Zhao Xiong really wants to cry but has no tears. Now he really has no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth!
"Zhao Xiong, what virtues do you have for an idiot like you? You actually stole the country and became a general and led an army! Today I will do justice for God and get rid of you, this loser!"
Gan Ning had already disliked Zhao Xiong, so he immediately raised his sword and rushed towards Zhao Xiong. Gan Ning's momentum was so fierce that he scared the few soldiers around Zhao Xiong to retreat.
By the time Gan Ning reached Zhao Xiong, there was no one around Zhao Xiong.
"Suffer death!"
Having been a general for many years, he was not incompetent. He also raised his sword and slashed at Gan Ning.
Zhao Xiong didn't know much about Gan Ning's martial arts, so he didn't have much fear and even felt a little happy in his heart.
As long as Gan Ning is killed, it will definitely have a deterrent effect, and the situation will be reversed immediately by his bravery!
when!
Both of them were determined to kill each other and used all their strength to kill each other.
This blow didn't make much noise, but it caused a lot of movement!
I saw the sword in Zhao Xiong's hand being thrown out of his hand, and his body fell to the ground due to the huge force.
Gan Ning looked fierce and slashed at Zhao Xiong's neck without hesitation.
