Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 539 Four Swords Lower Gan Ning (5K)

Wuluo Rabbit rises, and night falls.

Under the deep clouds, the more drums on the street were unhurried, and they sounded from one watch to two watches, and from two watches to three watches.

The silver floating arrow gradually descended with the water surface, and finally pointed to the bottom of the clepsydra Ye Tianchi silently.

It's already fifth watch.

At the northern city gate of Shouchun, in the dim night, a group of soldiers and horses have been lying in ambush for a long time. They are dressed very much like the Xuzhou army outside the city. They are also black helmets and black armor, and even their mounts are painted black. Looking from a distance, It seems to have merged with the night, under the darkness of the moon, if you don't light a candle, you can hardly distinguish the slightest bit.

The rain fell softly, falling on their armor, and drenching the whole body along the cracks. Occasionally, some military horses raised their legs and raised their heads, but they could only make a dull snort, because the generals riding them had been blinded for a long time. Their snouts and noses are covered, and some cotton wool and other things are wrapped around the horse's hooves. One is to prevent slipping, and the other is to reduce noise.

"My God, the rain can't stop, it makes people anxious."

Gan Ning cursed a few words in a low voice, took off his helmet, poured out the accumulated rainwater, put it back on again, changed the position of the armor knife on the mount, pressed the bow pouch on his waist, and turned his head He glanced in the direction of the west city gate, and asked left and right: "What time is it?"

Li Ren at the side called his guards, looked carefully for a while, and found that the silver floating arrow gradually descended with the water surface, and had already pointed to the bottom of Yetian Lake, the clepsydra (the ancient timer in China, earlier than the hourglass), so he replied: " General Gan, it's already five o'clock."

Gan Ning frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Then why hasn't there been any movement from Liang Gang?"

How did Li Ren know, he just shook his head, and looked at Gan Ning in front of him calmly. Even though the night was as dark as ink, he could still faintly feel the other party's tough expression and resolute eyes. The young military general has an incomparable posture.
Gan Xingba is indeed a talent.

Li Ren secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder Wang Zheng wanted to capture this person alive.

Thinking of this, he raised his head, looked at the sky for a while, and suddenly asked: "The moon is dark and dark, it's time to attack at night, the clouds are deep and heavy, and the rain is pattering, which is more convenient to cover up the movement of us going out of the city later. It is indeed a rare event." Great opportunity, General Gan, which of us will be the striker?"

Gan Ning glanced at Li Ren when he heard the words, and said indifferently: "Of course the general will be in the front, and you can just hold the line at the rear."

Before the words were finished, there were sudden shouts from the West City Gate.A group of people hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see in the boundless drizzle, separated by the night in the city far away, a little fire in the distance, gradually getting bigger.Faintly heard many people shouting in unison: "Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"

Amidst the din of people, there was also the swishing of bows and arrows, and the trembling and muffled sound of boulders fired by trebuchets hitting the ground.

"coming!"

Gan Ning regained his spirits, ignored Li Ren, and just stared straight ahead.

Time passed very slowly, and it seemed to pass very quickly. I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, the head of the east city gate suddenly burst into flames, and Yao's city was lit up. Gathering clouds, it is extremely conspicuous in this night.

"Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"

The signal that had been waiting for a long time finally came. Gan Ning raised the reins and urged the horse with a sword.

But what they never expected was that the moment they stepped across the suspension bridge and set foot on the plain, countless arrows suddenly surged up all around them, covering the sky and covering the ground, covering their heads and faces.

This sudden rain of arrows directly stunned the ambitious Yangzhou army, and immediately the voices of people neighed and screams erupted.

"what happened?"

"Who shot the arrow?"

"Ouch! Not good, I was ambushed by the Yellow Turban Thieves!"

Gan Ning, who took the lead, was the first to leave the city, and the most arrows from outside the city came towards him. Thanks to his quick reflexes, the rustling of a sword dance, the blink of an eye, and the effort of closing his eyes, let alone shot down dozens of arrows. There were hundreds of long arrows, he didn't know well, he raised his eyes to look far and near while swinging the knife, but because of the darkness of the night, he couldn't see anything clearly, only saw the shadowy shadows opposite him in the dark rainy night, and he didn't know what was going on in all directions. How many Xuzhou soldiers are there.Arrow rain mixed with drizzle, he was in a panic.

At this time Li Ren also rushed up, and said anxiously: "General Gan, we were ambushed just after leaving the city. The thieves are clearly prepared, let's retreat quickly!"

Gan Ning cut off his words before he finished speaking, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Withdrew back in disgrace?Don't even think about it!
Moreover, Gan Ning didn't believe that Xuzhou would have been prepared long ago. Could it be that Wang Zheng could calculate that they would go out of the city to break through tonight?He just yelled sharply: "Don't panic, but there are some rangers from Xuzhou, sons, cheer up, and follow this general!"

I didn't want to rush forward, the arrows fell more and more chaotically, like rain like locusts, and screams came from behind me immediately.

Seeing Gan Ning's stunned head, Li Ren cursed secretly, but he couldn't really watch Gan Ning seek his own death, so he stepped forward with a round shield and continued to persuade: "If it is a ranger, how can the arrow be like this?" Violent? And there are trebuchets!"

"General Gan, you should withdraw quickly. If it is too late, if the Xuzhou army takes the opportunity to break into the city, it will be a serious crime!"

Gan Ning turned his head sharply, his eyes shot out murderous intent: "If you dare to speak too much, I will cut off your head."

After finishing speaking, he straightened his back and continued to charge bravely, getting closer to the Xuzhou Army's position, and at the same time farther and farther away from the city gate. Li Ren fell behind him, screaming loudly: "Gan! General, it’s time to shut down! It’s too late if you don’t retreat!”

However, seeing that the situation was not good, the defenders of the west city gate could not wait for Li Ren and the others to turn back, and had already pulled up the drawbridge. Once the drawbridge was pulled up, the city gate would be closed immediately.

But Gan Ning didn't care, just stared at the front, facing the drizzle, breaking the gust of wind, unknowingly walked a hundred steps, and kept shouting in his heart: "It's getting closer, it's getting closer!"

He guessed right, Wang Zheng is not a god, and he doesn't have the ability to predict the enemy's prophet, but he is cautious by nature, since his family has used the strategy of making a fool of himself before, he will naturally guard against Yang Hong's way of doing the same thing, and return it to him.

What's more, he had long guessed that if the defenders wanted to take the initiative to attack, they would either attack at night or steal food, so as soon as the battle at the west gate started, Wang Zheng immediately ordered all gates to take strict precautions, so Gan Ning and the others joined forces. Outcropping, it was hit by overwhelming arrows and stones.

But Yashishi's blow was the only one.

Just more than 2 troops can encircle a big city like Shouchun. The result is that the defense line in every place will not be thick, and even strict defenses will not change the weakness of a single place.

If the other generals had the guts to charge with Gan Ning, they might break through in no time.

It's a pity that there is never an if in a decisive battle.

Gan Ning was also a newcomer to Yuan Shu not long ago, and the [-] elites he led tonight were selected from the various armies under the order of Yang Hong, and each had a headquartered general to lead the team.At this time, when the enemy suddenly encountered the situation, all the ministries were in chaos, and those who followed him all the time, in fact, there were only thirty or forty pro-military soldiers who followed him from Yizhou to the present.

Before reaching the enemy's formation, a hundred cavalrymen came out from the opposite side of the clan, and three generals surrounded them with all their strength, and fought in a melee twice.

The ground was muddy, and large chunks of muddy water were splashed where the horseshoes intersected.With one against three, Gan Ning did not lose the slightest bit of wind. He looked back and shouted: "Li Ren! Li Ren!"

Little did he know that Li Ren had already reined in his horse long before, and before leading the rest of the army back to the suspension bridge, he kept yelling loudly: "Quickly open the city gate!"

Just kidding, soldiers are fierce and dangerous, swords and arrows have no eyes, Li Ren naturally doesn't want to go to hell with Gan Ning!

Anyway, after persuasion and persuasion, Li Ren asked himself that he had a clear conscience, if Wang Zheng really won in the future, in the past, if he surrendered his friendship, at least his life would be safe.

He pretended not to hear, but a subordinate officer beside him reminded without knowing it: "Lieutenant, General Gan escaped the siege lightly, and asked me to help you. If you don't respond, I'm afraid that if you go back to the city, Yang Jijiu's side will also die." Can't explain it?"

"Gan Xingba is a great general in the world, and he is the champion of the three armies. He is just a yellow scarf bandit and a mob. How can he be his opponent?"

Li Ren glared at the subordinate officer, and snorted coldly: "It's dark and rainy today, and it's hard to tell who the enemy is or who we are. If we go up rashly, it will only cause trouble for General Gan. If the bandits take the opportunity to seize the suspension bridge, it will be a big disaster. Why not?" Stand by and wait.”

The gates of the city are closed, so what does it matter if the suspension bridge is lost or not?
Li Ren's words are clearly pretexted, and the generals are naturally aware of it, but since Gan Ning joined Yuan Shu, he has always been domineering and domineering. Jealousy, since Li Ren expressed his position in this way, the generals hesitated for a moment, then nodded one after another, but no one offered assistance, hundreds of people just gathered in the bridge under the city, watching the battle, shouting at the door at the same time, trying to survive .

There is a way to defend the city. Once the city gate is closed, if you want to shout it open again, and there are enemies outside the city approaching, it will be even more difficult. Li Ren and others shouted for a long time, his voice became hoarse, and his mouth was dry. , but no one cares.There was a sudden explosion from behind, like Jiao Lei rolling past, shaking the world:
"Li Ren!"

With the help of the fire that was only lit on the top of the city, everyone turned their heads in the direction of the sound, but they saw the enemy and us fighting in disorder not far away. Surrounded Gan Ning and dozens of personal guards, nothing could get through!
What a Gan Ning, in such a situation, he has no fear, just wielding his sword and turning his horse, making ten moves and ten moves, not only killed the three generals of the Heavenly Army in an instant, but also had more spare power to break the camp and rush to rescue his subordinates. Even with the bravery of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army, there is nothing that can block the blow of his armored sword. Every time someone slashes, someone will fall down in response to the sword, but in an instant, nearly a hundred lives were killed by this person single-handedly.

After cutting down another person, Gan Ning finally took a deep look at Li Ren and the other soldiers in the distance, as if he wanted to remember everyone's appearance firmly. As soon as he touched the other's eyes, Li Ren couldn't help it. I shuddered, and felt my hair stand on end, and my heart was even more terrified.

At this time, someone in the Xuzhou Army also recognized Gan Ning. After all, he was able to perform so well under the siege of a group of systematic soldiers, not to mention the entire world in Shouchun City. Immediately exclaimed: "This is Gan Ning, he is Gan Xingba!"

"Gan Xingba?"

The other person's eyes lit up, and he said: "The general has an order. If you meet this person, you must capture him alive!" Immediately he shouted: "Brothers must capture Gan Ning alive and send him to the general!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud sound of horseshoes on the left side, and then one after another torches were lit up around the battle circle, but it was an iron cavalry who planned to go around the position and attack Li Ren and other troops inside the bridge. They all turned their horses over and joined the encirclement.

At this point in the fight, the soldiers of the headquarters who followed Gan Ning into the battle had already been killed and wounded. Seeing that he was alone, but the enemy had laid a heavy siege, it was clear that it was a hopeless situation. Instead, Gan Ning became fiercer, swung his armor sword, and chopped himself When he fired a sniper in the face and turned around to take advantage of the momentum to kill the enemy general, he suddenly felt the wind behind him screaming, and the alarm bell rang in his heart!

Is there a master approaching on horseback?

Gan Ning immediately gave up the head that was supposed to be in his hands, grabbed the spear from the enemy general, swung it with his backhand, and shot behind him.

Hearing a clear sound of "嗤", the enemy general behind him drew his sword and easily chopped off the spear, breaking it into two pieces.

At this time Gan Ning had just turned around and asked violently, "Who is coming?"

There was no answer, only the sound of horseshoes, the ground trembled, Gan Ning's eyes just had anger, and a man and a horse had already torn apart the night and attacked head-on.

The next moment, a cyan sword light shot up into the sky, relying on the momentum of the enemy general's horse rushing forward, it seemed to turn into thunder and lightning, and in an instant, it crossed the space between the two of them, and slashed towards Gan Ning who was waiting in line!
The momentum of this sword was too shocking, even the aroused air flow had the pain of cutting a face, Gan Ning was immediately moved, mustered up all his remaining courage, and swung his saber to meet the block.

When the swords collided, there was only a loud "clang!", which shocked the audience.

Jian Guang mercilessly smashed Gan Ning's saber away, and the force contained in it caused Gan Ning's jaw to ache, half of his body was sore, he involuntarily let go of the saber in his hand, his face turned pale.

The two passed by each other, and the other party spun around the horse like lightning, slashed down with a sword again, and shouted at the same time: "The third sword!"

From Gan Ning's point of view, these three swords have no moves at all, they are just simple vertical chops.
But the key is that one sword is faster than one sword!More aggressive!Even more powerful!Like lightning strikes, Gan Ning didn't even have time to find a gap to dodge in the ear-piercing howling of the sword wind, so he had to pull out the dagger at his waist and struggled feebly for the last time.

The moment the two sharp blades collided, the flimsy dagger immediately collapsed into pieces under the sharp blue light!
Amidst the despair on Gan Ning's face, the fourth cold electric sword light slashed out again!

At the very moment, Gan Ning's potential exploded, he twisted his body and rolled off the horse, only to hear the horse neighing, and blood spurted out from the middle of the saddle, not only the saddle, but even the horse under his crotch were split in two by the sword light broken.

At this time, under the light of the fire, Gan Ning finally saw clearly the enemy general who was fighting him and he had no power to fight back.

This man is wearing a red cloak and Xuanjia, and is young and weak. If he is not the mighty Xuzhou Mu Wangzheng, who is he?
"It is said that Xuzhou Mu was born with supernatural power."

Gan Ning stared at Wang Zheng, said with a wry smile, "Looking at it now, it's not a lie, hey, I've always been brave, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even go through five rounds under your command."

"Why should General Gan belittle himself?"

Wang Zheng reined in his horse and stood there, looking down at Gan Ning from a high position, smiled and said, "You have been exhausted from fighting for a long time, and you will win without fighting."

"Winning is winning, losing is losing."

Gan Ning showed a bitter smile, and said dumbly: "To die under Wang Zhoumu's hands is not a disgrace in this life, please give someone a good time."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, and he was already being slaughtered.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng laughed and said, "Why did General Gan make such a statement? If the general had murderous intentions, he would have made the fifth sword just now!"

"You want to recruit me?"

Gan Ning was startled when he heard the words, opened his eyes and asked, "Does Wang Zhoumu think that I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"How dare this general underestimate Gan Xingba?"

Wang Zheng shook his head again and again, then got off his horse and helped Gan Ning himself: "Although this general has little virtue, he is just like the general. He is a man who values ​​righteousness and despises death, and his subordinates are all warrior men."

"On the contrary, under Yuan Shu's command, there are so many cowardly and fearless people, such a good man, how can he be with this generation?"

Gan Ning's heart moved when he heard the words, Wang Zheng's words really touched his heart.

Today's defeat was due to the cowardice of Li Ren and others. When Gan Ning just entered the battle, Gan Ning had already made up his mind that if he could escape today, he would kill these rats!

It's just that Yuan Shu treated him well. Li Ren and others deserved to be killed, but they should vote for the king's government.
For a while, Gan Ning was still hesitant.

Seeing that his expression was cloudy and uncertain, Wang Zheng could probably guess what the other party was thinking, and immediately said softly: "Brother Gan, don't worry, I will know that you are a sincere person, and will never turn against the old master, regardless of whether the general surrenders or not. In the battle of Shouchun, the general just sat and watched."

"You don't have to make a decision immediately, you can think it over carefully before giving the general an answer."

This remark surprised Gan Ning, he thought Wang Zheng's purpose of recruiting him was for Shouchun, but he didn't want the other party to take the initiative to solve his biggest doubt first.
Looking up, Wang Zheng stood upright under the blazing fire, clearly smiling at Yan Yan, but his demeanor was calm, with a kind of majesty of ruling the world, he couldn't help but secretly break his heart.

Yuan Gong really treated me well, but now it seems that there is no chance of success
And Wang Yukou is not only outstanding in literature and martial arts, but also unparalleled in martial arts, even I am not his enemy, even Lu Bu is no more than that?
If such a wise master is missed, where can we meet again?

Gan Ning has been very decisive since he was a child, and he has been thinking about it all his life. He immediately prostrated himself on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "My lord is so magnanimous, I will never give up on each other. I am willing to follow my lord so that I can be driven by him and do the work of dogs and horses!"

"it is good!"

Wang Zheng was ecstatic. He took action this time with the intention of subduing Gan Ning in one fell swoop. Of course, it was not because of Gan Ning's courtesies, but because of the transparent system in front of him. Above, that group of applicants who suddenly flashed into the team.
People who practice martial arts are refreshing!
While helping Gan Ning up with a smile, Wang Zheng hastily agreed, and soon he was in the mood to look at the attributes of the new hero who joined the team:
Gan Ning, Zi Xingba
Title of hero: "Sparta"

Talents: divine power, hand-to-hand combat, commanding an army, awe-inspiring, ascending first, charge, broadsword weapons, bow and crossbow weapons.

Stunt 1: Charge into battle (passive skill, increase the overall attributes of cavalry under his command by 3% when he is the commander)
Special skill 2: Night battle (passive skill, automatically make the night vision of the same camp +3)

Stunt 3: Inspiring people (when the hero wears bird feathers or bells, the morale of the same camp team +2)

　Gan Ning is not that bad, please pay attention to the premise: exhausted after a long battle
