In the mist, the impregnable Xiakou City looked like a drunken warrior, armed with a sharp armor but unaware that the enemy was approaching.
The rooster crowed for the first time, but most of the people and soldiers were still sleeping in their warm quilts, dazed and unwilling to get up.
On the top of the city, the soldiers on duty who had been messed up by the river breeze all night were already freezing and sleepy.
There were three of them in a group, and two of them huddled beside the brazier where the smoke was still lingering, complaining that their companions who were changing the guard had not yet arrived, and dozing off.
The Han River Water Camp built along the bank to the west of the city was empty with only dozens of small warships and more than a thousand soldiers who could not be considered elite. Most of the soldiers on the warships here were the same as the Yangtze River Water Camp in the south of the city.
He was taken away by Huang Zu to fight with the new Zhou Mu.
It's another ordinary morning.
Su Fei, who was left behind in the water camp, got up early in the morning as usual and started inspecting various camps as usual before the soldiers woke up.
Everything is business as usual, nothing special.
The only thing that puzzled Su Fei, the commander of the water village, was that among the ships patrolling upstream, five or six did not report back to the water village last night.
Su Fei subconsciously raised his eyes and looked north, glancing in the direction of the beacon tower. It was also calm there, and there was no sign of a beacon fire alarm.
"Maybe they miscalculated the time and had to stay on the shore for one night."
Su Fei thought this in his mind, and his suspicion quickly dissipated. He continued walking towards the trestle and inspected it.
A moment later, Su Fei stood at the end of the trestle. This was already the outermost end of the water village. Looking around, the vast Han River was reflected in the morning light, reflecting the ripples of the scales, and the river fog that was about to disperse.
Set off against each other, it's a bit like a dream.
Su Fei took a deep breath and looked to the west. He murmured: "At this time, Huang Taishou may have captured Jiangling. The time for the Huang family to take charge of Jingzhou is finally coming. We can also follow Huang Taishou.
It’s been a meteoric rise…”
As he thought about it, Su Fei couldn't help but smile.
Just as he was secretly excited, Su Fei's ears suddenly stood up.
He vaguely seemed to hear something strange.
It was the sound of paddling. It came from upstream, getting closer and louder, and in the blink of an eye it sounded like a roaring wave.
Su Fei instinctively looked towards the upper reaches of the Han River. Looking far into the distance, through the dispersing river fog, it seemed that there were clusters of dark shadows approaching quickly.
At first, Su Fei was not too suspicious. He guessed that it might just be a returning patrol boat or a merchant ship going south to do business.
But gradually, Su Fei began to feel nervous.
The sound of splashing into the water became louder and louder, as if there were hundreds of boats rushing in mightily, and the image in the mist of the river became larger and larger, as if it were a huge black wall that was constantly advancing forward.
Suddenly, a fighting ship broke through the river fog and clearly caught his eye.
Su Fei's heart suddenly reached his throat, as if he was suffocating, and his whole face was filled with unprecedented horror.
"Yan Liang...Yan Liang's navy! How is this possible!"
As soon as the surprise and suspicion came to mind, more battleships and ships were already rushing towards Shuiying like dragons emerging from the water, galloping like the wind.
On the bow of the ship, the heavily armed soldiers of the Yan family were staring at this side with ferocious eyes, as if they were prey.
Su Fei looked sharply in the direction of the beacon tower, but there was still no sign of any alarm. It was as if the soldiers of the dozens of beacon towers had become blind overnight, or maybe the fierce Yan Liang navy had done something.
The magic has become transparent.
Su Fei's mind suddenly fell into disbelief, and the soldiers on duty in the camp immediately fell into panic and confusion. They shouted "The enemy is coming" and ran towards the camp.
At this time, Su Fei had just woken up from his disbelief. He hurriedly turned around and ran to the camp. While running, he shouted loudly and ordered the entire army to rush to fight.
But, it's too late.
The boat was moving very fast, and when Su Fei just ran across the trestle, a stern crashed into the water camp.
Gan Ning held the two halberds in his hands and ran up the trestle as alertly as a monkey. The naval officers who rushed up behind him then swarmed down.
"Kill all the enemies and thieves——"
With a move of his iron halberd, Gan Ning gave a loud shout and led the troops towards the water camp.
"kill--"
"kill--"
The officers and soldiers of Yan Liang's family behind him were shouting to kill like a roar, and a group of ferocious warriors, like tigers emerging from the cage, swept into the enemy camp.
Gan Ning charged in first, and the warships he attacked one after another crashed into the water camp one after another. Countless soldiers jumped from the ships and rushed towards the enemies in the water camp overwhelmingly.
Gan Ning ran wildly, the two halberds in his hands danced into two iron curtains. The wind of the blade passed by, causing blood to fly from his limbs, and killed the Jiangxia soldiers who hadtily faced him as if they were defeated.
In the water village, the sounds of gongs and screams rang together.
Thousands of Yan Jiajun athletes rushed ashore like huge waves of a tsunami. When the Jiangxia soldiers who were still sleeping heard the strange movement, they rushed out of their tents without even having time to put on their clothes and armor, only to be attacked in the blink of an eye.
The raging waves crushed him to death.
With several times the enemy's strength and an unexpected surprise attack, this was a complete massacre.
Su Fei, who retreated to the stronghold, saw that his army was severely defeated, so he had to organize a resistance while sending people to Xiakou City to alert Huang She.
In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning led his army to kill the water camp and headed straight for the dry camp. Behind him were bloody roads that extended to the water, turning the Han River red.
Covered in blood, he looked up and saw enemies fleeing across the board, but only at the side of his head, an enemy general was still commanding more than a hundred Jiangxia soldiers, making a desperate resistance.
"How dare you stand in the way of my lord's mighty military might, even if you are a mere bastard!"
The blood-stained face showed infinite ferocity.
With a loud shout, Gan Ning dragged his iron halberd, with blood and mud splashing under his feet, and pounced on the stubborn enemy like a murderous god.
Su Fei, who was resisting stubbornly, saw an enemy general rushing towards him. He urgently ordered his subordinates to release arrows to stop him.
More than a dozen arrows swooped down like locusts, but Gan Ning's steps never stopped. As he charged, his halberds flew in all directions, forming layers of iron curtains, but the incoming arrows were easily bounced off.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-stained steel body was approaching.
The two halberds were swept out left and right. Under the strong wind, five or six Jiangxia soldiers screamed and stumbled away. Their arms were either cut off or their necks were pierced.
In the blood mist that filled the sky, Gan Ning was like an unstoppable sharp arrow, easily tearing apart the formation of more than a hundred people.
The two halberds rushed towards Su Fei with a bloody trail.
At this time, Su Fei was shocked by the martial arts of the enemy general in front of him. He never expected that Yan Liang would have such a fierce general under his command.
At the critical moment, without thinking too much, Su Fei raised his sword to block it.
Amidst the loud shouts, Gan Ning's two big halberds were chopped off at the head.
Bang~~
Amidst the sound of metal clashing, Su Fei tried his best to block it, but he felt endless force pouring into his body, which only made his insides burst. Under the pressure of this crazy force, he was unable to stand firm, and his knees buckled.
He was pushed down.
In one move, the difference is decided.
Su Fei claimed to be Huang Zu's first general, and his martial arts skills were among the best in Jingzhou, but he didn't want to fight with each other. He was actually pressed to the ground by Yan Liang's young general.
"What is Yan Liang's ability that can recruit such a powerful young general? I have lived in Jingzhou for a long time, but I have never heard of it!"
Su Fei was shocked, but Gan Ning didn't give him a chance to think. With a low whistle, the two halberds swept over him in the blink of an eye.
Without any room for hesitation, Su Fei hurriedly raised his sword and used all his strength to block it.
There was another roar, and sparks flew everywhere.
Under the shock of the huge force, Su Fei felt severe pain in the tiger's mouth, and blood seeped out from his five fingers. However, under the huge blow, he was unable to stand steadily and fell backwards with a choking sound.
Gan Ning, who had knocked back the enemy with one blow, did not give him a chance to breathe. He sprang out like a leopard. Where his hands were dancing, he saw a cold light passing by.
Phew~~
With a lightning strike, Su Fei's chest was pierced by the halberd before he could see clearly how the opponent was attacking.
Three moves to win.
Su Feidou opened his eyes, and there was endless horror in his bloodshot eyes, as if he couldn't believe that he was defeated by the enemy in three moves.
He stood stiff and said in a trembling voice: "You...who are you?"
Gan Ning's sword eyebrows were as sharp as razors, and he was so arrogant that he said coldly: "General Yan You's subordinate, General Hengjiang Zhonglang, is Gan Ning."
After saying that, the ape's arm moved and the halberd was withdrawn.
A bloody hole suddenly appeared on Su Fei's chest.
"Gan... Ning——"
Su Fei spit out this unfamiliar name through his teeth and immediately fell to the ground.
After Gan Ning killed his enemy with one move, a hint of disdain flashed across his lips, he waved his two halberds and continued to rush towards Xiakou City.
Thousands of Yan Jiajun athletes, led by Gan Ning, annihilated the land and water enemy camps in the west of Xiakou City in half an hour.
More than a thousand Jiangxia soldiers were crushed and killed, and the river water along the coast was dyed red.
Yan Liang, who arrived later, climbed onto the river bank where corpses were lying all over without hindrance, galloped on his horse, and led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses that followed, heading straight for the west gate of Xiakou.
Along the way, he looked at the camp filled with enemy corpses. Yan Liang couldn't help but feel proud, thinking that Gan Ning was indeed a rare and good general. With him as the vanguard in this battle, he could really get twice the result with half the effort.
Not long after, Yan Liang and Gan Ning's vanguard army met at the gate of Xiakou City.
At this time, Huang She, the defender of Xiakou City, was shocked to hear the news of the enemy's surprise attack. Seeing that the water stronghold was breached, in a hurry, he had to order the four gates to be closed immediately and mobilize the more than 3,000 remaining soldiers in the city to immediately
The city welcomes the enemy.
Because the surprise attack came so quickly, Huang She was in a hurry and could not mobilize all his troops to the city.
By the time Yan Liang led his army to the west gate, the front line of the city was still in chaos, with frightened enemy soldiers running back and forth. After a rough sweep, the defenders at the top of the city only numbered a few hundred people.
The city's defenses are weak, so this is the perfect time to break the city.
Yan Liang was so arrogant that he pointed his sword at the enemy city and said loudly: "Xingba, do you dare to take Xiakou City for my general?"
Gan Ning's blood was boiling, and he was about to reach the point of excitement. There was no trace of hesitation, and he shouted boldly: "My lord, please rest here for a while. At the end of the tea time, I will break through the city gate for my lord!"
