For Gan Ning, this battle should be his first battle after joining the army.
Although he has excellent martial arts skills and a lot of strategy, before he surrendered to Yan Liang, he could only be regarded as a small-scale knight-errant at best.
After all, there is a fundamental difference between battlefield combat and the battles between knights and rivers.
Yan Liang knew very well that jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not polished, so he asked Gan Ning to lead the ambush today just to give him a chance to practice.
Gan Ning, who was on the battlefield for the first time, showed no fear at all. Instead, his blood boiled with excitement.
He rode his horse into the chaotic enemy group, his halberds dancing like the wind, and a storm of light and shadow shooting out from all sides.
Wherever the halberd wind passed by, blood rose up in the air.
A famous enemy was assassinated by him, and Gan Ning became more and more excited as he fought, as if he was born to be a warrior, and only the battlefield could arouse his true nature.
Yan Liang, who was on the hillside, watched Gan Ning charging rampant among the enemies from a distance, as if he was in a deserted place, and unconsciously nodded his head slightly with a look of appreciation on his face.
Gan Ning was really a good general with outstanding martial arts skills. With this tiger and wolf warrior as his right-hand man, he didn't have to charge forward in every battle and shoulder the main task alone.
In just a moment, the situation on the narrow road became one-sided.
Although the 5,000 Yuan army was outnumbered, they were seduced by Yan Liang's baggage and had no military discipline and order. Now that an ambush suddenly arose, the 5,000 Yuan army suddenly fell into a state of collapse.
Yuan Tan woke up and timed the attack, but it was too late. No matter how he yelled and scolded, he could not stop the soldiers from fleeing.
At this time, Chunyu Qiong rode his horse closer and shouted: "My lord, we have fallen into Yan Liang's plan. Let's withdraw our troops quickly."
Yuan Tan did not listen to Chunyu Qiong's advice and was now ambushed. Naturally, he was extremely embarrassed and even a little angry.
However, Yuan Tan still remained sober. Seeing his army crumbling, he knew that he could no longer fight. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and order a retreat.
But, it's too late.
Gan Ning, who was in an uninhabited country, had already set his sights on Yuan Tan, who was under his banner. He was the eldest son of Yuan Shao, the most powerful prince in the world. If he could capture and kill this man, Gan Ning's name would become famous all over the world.
Under this stimulation, Gan Ning was like a hungry tiger and wolf, fighting hard to open a bloody path and rush towards Yuan Tan's prey.
Yuan Tan was greatly alarmed when he saw an unknown enemy general in Yan Liang's army charging towards him unstoppably.
"The eldest son will go first. I will stop this thief in the future."
Chunyu Qiong shouted and waved his sword to face Gan Ning.
Yuan Tan, on the other hand, was frightened and did not dare to fight, so he turned his horse and fled.
Gan Ning was not sure that the target was Yuan Tan, but when Chun Yuqiong shouted, he was so excited that his eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed towards him like lightning.
Chunyu Qiong was a veteran general in Yuan Shao's camp and had experienced hundreds of battles. Now when he saw an unknown young general like Gan Ning, he thought of underestimating the enemy. He reined in his horse and blocked Gan Ning's path with a proud look on his face.
Gan Ning's sword eyebrows were raised horizontally, and his two halberds were sticking out like two shooting stars.
Chunyu Qiong slashed at Gan Ning head-on with his long sword.
The clash of swords and halberds happened in an instant.
Gan Ning raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
The two halberds that were originally stabbing out suddenly changed their stance. The left halberd was swung to hold the enemy's sword, and the right halberd was thrust out like lightning.
Chunyu Qiong didn't expect that Gan Ning was so fast. He defeated his own sword skills with one move, but when he tried to dodge, it was already too late.
Amidst a miserable scream, the extremely sharp halberd pierced through Chunyu Qiong.
Chunyu Qiong spurted blood from her mouth, staggered and fell to the ground under the horse.
With one move, Gan Ning beheaded Chunyu Qiong off his horse. With a hint of disdain between his brows, he clamped his legs under the horse's belly and continued to kill Yuan Tan.
Yan Liang, who was on the hillside, clearly saw the scene of Gan Ning beheading the general and couldn't help but nod in approval.
However, when Yan Liang saw Gan Ning killing Yuan Tan, Yan Liang secretly had some doubts.
Seeing that Yan Liang has not yet openly launched an anti-Yuan banner, but if he kills Yuan Tan today, it means that he is completely at odds with Yuan Shao.
How could Yuan Shao swallow the revenge of killing his son? He would definitely launch crazy revenge on himself next.
After only a moment's hesitation, Yan Liang's stern face showed pride.
So what if you kill Yuan Tan? If you, Yuan Shao, want revenge, just come. How can I, Yan Liang, be afraid of you!
While he was deep in thought, Gan Ning had already caught up with Yuan Tan at the foot of the hillside.
When Yuan Tan saw Chunyu Qiong being killed together, he was filled with fear at the enemy general behind him because of his high martial arts skills. He ran away while ordering his soldiers to stop him.
But those Hebei soldiers were like ants, being chopped down by Gan Ning's double halberds.
Gan Ning's horse flew like flying, and he chased Yuan Tan on a bloody road. In a blink of an eye, only one horse was left with Yuan Tan.
The frightened Yuan Tan was already sweating profusely, and there was no trace of the demeanor of the eldest son of the Yuan family.
At this moment, dust started to rise from the north, and a group of cavalry suddenly came and rushed out of the battle group like wolves and tigers.
Yuan Jun’s cavalry!
The sudden appearance of this cavalry immediately changed the situation of the battle.
Yuan's army was already outnumbered, but it was only because it was ambushed and its fighting spirit collapsed.
Now that reinforcements arrived, including elite cavalry, the morale of Yuan's army immediately revived. Under the attack from two sides, Gan and Ning's army fell into a disadvantage.
On the hillside, Yan Liang frowned slightly, a little surprised by the sudden attack of Yuan Jun's cavalry.
However, he was not in a hurry to send aid, but held his troops aside for the time being, observing the enemy's situation first.
Gan Ning, who was chasing Yuan Tan, suddenly saw enemy reinforcements approaching and was shocked in his heart. However, he did not lose his position and instead pursued Yuan Tan with all his strength.
Just beheading Yuan Tan would definitely demoralize Yuan's army, even if reinforcements arrived.
Approaching inch by inch, with only a small distance left, Gan Ning unleashed his killer attack.
At this moment, a thunderous roar sounded in his ears.
"Don't hurt my young master!"
Amidst the loud shouts, a horse rushed towards him.
Gan Ning glanced sideways and saw a strong enemy general with a dark scarred face and a body like an iron tower. A large gun in his hand was carrying a strong hunting wind, coming like an electric strike.
Gan Ning couldn't catch up with them, so he had to abandon Yuan Tan, turned around and thrust forward his two halberds.
Clang!
There was a clang of metal, and Gan Ning felt an unprecedented force hit him. His body shook violently, blood surged in his chest, and the hands holding the halberd were numb from the shock.
"This man is so powerful that he is not inferior to General Yan!"
Gan Ning was shocked, knowing that he had met a powerful enemy.
The scar gun forced Gan Ning back with one move, but did not give him any chance to breathe. The second shot came suddenly like a flowing rainbow.
Gan Ning didn't have time to think too much, so he tried his best to stop it.
There was another sharp and rumbling sound that filled Gan Ning's ears, causing Gan Ning's eardrums to tingle.
Trying his best to block the blow again, Gan Ning's figure was shaken again, and the blood in his chest was rolling like a tide.
Two moves fight, and the decision is made.
Yan Liang, who was on the hillside, witnessed this unexpected scene with his own eyes. When he saw clearly the enemy general who suddenly came to kill him, he couldn't help but frown secretly.
