Chapter 979 Gan Ning Shows Off His Power

Gao Chong nodded: "Okay, Xingba, you can lead the Jinfan soldiers into battle and give these Cao soldiers some color, but be careful."

Gan Ning laughed and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, let's see how I defeat Cao Jun's spirit!"

After saying that, Gan Ning yelled: "Brothers, come with me, break the formation first and open a way out for the brothers!"

Gan Ning has always been a brave character. When Cao Cao led his army to storm Ruxuwu, it was Gan Ning who suggested to Sun Quan that he lead more than a hundred cavalry to attack Cao's camp. As a result, this move was unexpected, and he only lost a few cavalry before returning to the camp safely. The morale of Cao's army was greatly damaged, so Sun Quan was overjoyed and said: "There is Zhang Wenyuan there, but Gan Xingba alone."

Gan Ning's spirit was naturally undiminished now. He led hundreds of Jinfan soldiers on a stern speedboat and quickly rushed forward towards Jiangxia City, riding the wind and waves.

"Go up the ladder!"

Gan Ning took the lead and was the first to rush to the ladder. He held the steel knife in his mouth and climbed up using his hands and feet at a very fast speed.

"Hey! Kill!"

Gan Ning jumped up and appeared on the top of the city. With a wave of the Hengjiang iron halberd in his hand, a Cao soldier fell from the top of the city. Gan Ning's martial arts were naturally unstoppable, and Cao's troops were easily defeated wherever they went.

"Gan Ning, you are looking for death!"

When Niu Jin saw that Gan Ning was going forward and killing Cao Jun without any resistance, he was naturally furious and attacked with his sword.

when!

Hengjiang Iron Halberd and Huanshou Sword collided together. Although Niu Jin's martial arts skills were not as strong as Gan Ning's, his strength was considerable, so the sword did not suffer any loss.

Gan Ning sneered and stepped forward, two horizontal halberds crossing the river left and right, leaving a series of afterimages in the air. Niu Jin hurriedly parried, but he was retreating steadily under Gan Ning's attacks and could hardly resist.

Just as Niu Jin was about to be stabbed by Gan Ning's Hengjiang halberd, a spear blocked Gan Ning's Hengjiang halberd from the side.

"Captain Niu, you and I will work together to stop this thief!" Cao Tai shouted.

Seeing Cao Tai coming to support, Niu Jin's pressure was greatly relieved, and he said happily: "First Master, let's go together!"

With Cao Tai on hand to lend a helping hand, Niu Jin's pressure was naturally greatly reduced. The two of them fought together with Gan Ning, and together they finally stopped Gan Ning.

However, the Jinfan soldiers behind Gan Ning displayed their majesty on the city. They were all ruthless bandits roaming the river, and the fighting power they displayed was naturally extraordinary. They killed Cao's army on the city and made the whole place full of mourners.

"Go up, be sure to block the enemy!"

When Cao Ren saw his sons rushing forward, he was naturally very anxious and hurriedly ordered the guards around him to rush forward. The personal guards around Cao Ren were naturally very skilled in martial arts. As soon as they stepped forward, they immediately stabilized the situation.

Gan Ning was also stopped by Niu Jin and Cao Tai.

"Grand Governor, Brother Xingba was stopped by the enemy. Otherwise, I can come too." Wei Yan said, rubbing his hands.

"The general also asks for your orders!"

"The same goes for the final general!"

Wei Yan, Zhu Huan, Huang Zhong and other generals all asked Gao Chong for orders, but Gao Chong shook his head: "No, you are all generals in the army. What if something goes wrong?"

After saying that, Gao Chong said loudly: "Mingjin retreats!"

Dang Dang Dang!

The sound of ringing gold rang out in the formation. After Gan Ning heard it, he shouted: "Retreat for now, I will not fight with you again in the future!"

"Niu Jin, don't let him go!" Cao Tai shouted loudly, not wanting to let Gan Ning go, so he and Niu Jin rushed forward.

However, Gan Ning's martial arts was superior to that of Cao Tai and Niu Jin. Although he could not defeat the two of them in a short time, there was no problem in retreating. He retreated immediately, and the tens of thousands of troops attacking the city also retreated. And go.

After the Xiliang Navy retreated, Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "Quickly, carry the wounded and corpses down and repair the city!"

The reinforcements of Cao Jun immediately rushed forward and moved the injured Cao Jun and Cao Jun's body from the top of the city.

"Why did the Governor retreat?" Gan Ning said boldly: "It doesn't matter to me, we should conquer Jiangxia in one go!"

Gao Chong shook his head and asserted: "Don't worry, there's no need to be so desperate. I'm sure the enemy will have reinforcements, and our army can surround them and get reinforcements!"

"Cao Ren is a general of Cao Cao's clan. Now he is trapped in Jiangxia City. How can Cao Cao leave it alone? He will definitely send troops and horses to support." Gao Chong said slowly: "Our army can take advantage of this opportunity and wait for the enemy to come from other places. The reinforcements mobilized defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and gradually consumed Cao's army's vitality!"

"After all the troops and horses coming to help are defeated, the hinterland of Cao's army will be empty. When our army takes advantage of the situation to attack, who can resist it?" Gao Chong said with a smile.

Zhang Jia nodded: "Bo'an's suggestion is good. After the enemy's reinforcements have been defeated, the enemy's counties do not have enough troops and horses. Our army's attack is a strategy to avoid false starts and strike true."

"In this case, our army will surround the area for reinforcements."

Gao Chong ordered: "The whole army will postpone the attack on the city for the time being, and just press the city of Jiangxia with rain of arrows every day."

"Wei Yan."

"The general is here!"

"You should keep a close eye on the enemy's movements these days. If reinforcements from Cao's army arrive from other directions, report them immediately. Do you understand?" Gao Chong warned him.

Wei Yan cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, Wei Yan will not delay the military plan!"

As a result, in the past few days, the Xiliang Army's originally rapid offensive was temporarily slowed down. The endless rain of arrows put pressure on Cao's army all day long. However, without the Xiliang Army's fierce attack on the city, Cao's army could completely hide behind the city. , so the pressure is reduced a lot.

"Father, it seems that our army is well defended and the enemy has not been attacking the city very much these days." Cao Tai said with a smile.

Cao Ren snorted coldly: "What do you know? The enemy is trying to encircle the area for reinforcements!"

"Surround the area for reinforcements?" Cao Tai said in astonishment.

"Yes, although there are 20,000 soldiers in Jiangxia City, if the enemy army is determined to attack fiercely, it will not be able to hold out for long." Cao Ren frowned and said: "The reason why the enemy army is encircling and not attacking is to attract reinforcements from other quarters. , and then take advantage of the situation to annihilate these reinforcements, which will put Jiangdong and Huainan in danger."

"Ah? What should we do?" Cao Tai said in panic.

"There is no other way now. We can only wait for the opportunity and see if we can coordinate other armies."

Cao Ren sighed, looked up at the sky, and stopped talking.

In fact, Cao Ren's performance is already good now. When Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and took advantage of the situation to attack Fancheng, Cao Ren even planned to abandon the city and flee. Thanks to Man Chong who persuaded him.

However, the current situation is different from that at that time. At that time, Cao Wei occupied Hebei in the Central Plains, and Cao Ren had the ability to counterattack even if he retreated. But now that the Xiliang Army has launched a full-scale attack, if Cao Ren retreats, he will be finished.
