With Cao Cao by my side, what do I have to fear from the world?

By the tenth day, Sun Quan was on edge. He summoned all the leaders who were guarding the city and solemnly instructed them, "There must be no slackening of your efforts. You must hold Chaisang!"

Everyone knows that today is the tenth day.

However, it was still very quiet outside the city. Throughout the morning, Gan Ning told everyone to rest as much as possible. Many people lay down on the grass outside and fell fast asleep, just outside the range of the Jiangdong soldiers guarding the city.

The atmosphere inside the city was incredibly tense, but outside the city, everyone was relaxed and carefree, with many people still fast asleep. Sun Quan was increasingly puzzled, feeling that he had been thoroughly fooled by Gan Ning.

Enraged, Sun Quan clenched his fist and slammed it heavily against the battlements, gritting his teeth and cursing, "So Gan Ning was just bluffing! Saying he'd take the city in ten days was nothing but a deliberate attempt to deceive me and demoralize my troops!"

After being on edge for so many days, Sun Quan was starting to feel the strain, and his soldiers were exhausted. They were all hoping that Gan Ning would really not attack the city, so that everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at noon, after the soldiers outside the city had eaten their fill of food, a bugle suddenly sounded. Immediately afterward, Gan Ning gathered his men and quickly issued the order to attack the city.

"Whoever is the first to storm into Chaisang will be richly rewarded!"

"Kill!"

Gan Ning's shout drew a frenzied response; the soldiers of the Jin Fan Army all roared and brandished their swords and spears.

At Gan Ning's command, the fierce attack began!

In an instant, the sounds of battle shook the heavens and the flames of war filled the air. Outside Chaisang City, Gan Ning led his Jinfan Army like a surging tide, setting up siege ladders and launching a fierce attack on the city.

Gan Ning, holding a long sword, looked majestic and imposing. He raised his arm and shouted, "My men, follow me to break through the city!" His voice was like a bell, resounding through the sky.

Inspired by him, the Jinfan Army's morale soared. Ladders were quickly erected, and the soldiers climbed the city walls like wolves and tigers. Clad in light armor, they moved with the agility of the wind, shouting rousing battle cries that seemed to pierce the heavens.

Some Jin Fan soldiers were struck by arrows from the city walls as soon as they climbed the ladders, but those behind them were fearless, stepping over the bodies of their comrades to continue climbing. Their only thought was to breach the city walls; there was no retreat or hesitation whatsoever.

"With the ambition of Jin Fan, there is no turning back, only death!"

"With the ambition of Jin Fan, there is no turning back, only death!"

Gan Ning also rushed to the front, leading by example and using his actions to boost morale.

Despite being struck by several arrows, a soldier clung tightly to the ladder, struggling to climb upwards, shouting, "Death is the only option!"

As soon as another soldier climbed onto the city wall, he engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders, fighting against many enemies without fear.

Lu Xun calmly ordered his archers to line up in a row below the city walls, continuously firing arrows at the walls to provide cover for the attacking soldiers.

Meanwhile, the Jiangdong defenders on the city walls were demoralized. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair as they watched the Jinfan Army surge towards them like a tidal wave. Sun Kuang repeatedly shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to revive their morale, but to little avail.

A young garrison soldier, his hands trembling as he gripped his spear, his face pale, watched his comrades fall one after another around him, his heart filled with fear.

Although an old soldier was still holding his post, he was filled with worry: "The enemy is so fierce, can we hold out?"

Soon, Gan Ning charged up to the city wall and engaged in a fierce battle with the Jiangdong soldiers. Gan Ning wielded his broadsword like a bloodthirsty tiger.

As soon as he stepped onto the city wall, several Jiangdong soldiers rushed towards him. Gan Ning showed no fear, his eyes revealing a resolute killing intent. With a swift swing of his long sword, blood splattered everywhere, and one of the soldiers fell to the ground with a scream.

But more defenders swarmed in. They knew Gan Ning's bravery, but they also knew that if they did not defeat him, the city would surely fall.

Despite being surrounded, Gan Ning showed no sign of retreating. He slashed left and right, his blade flashing, each swing carrying the force of a thunderbolt.

Seeing their leader's bravery, the Jinfan Army soldiers were greatly encouraged and climbed the ladders and city walls in droves. They shouted and roared as if they wanted to devour the entire city of Chaisang.

Soon, Gan Ning's armor was stained crimson with blood, both from his own and his enemies. He was wounded, blood gushing from his wounds, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing to fight desperately. His gaze grew increasingly resolute, every movement filled with power and determination.

Taking advantage of Gan Ning's momentary lapse in attention, a Jiangdong garrison soldier swung his sword at Gan Ning's back. Gan Ning whirled around, blocking the fatal blow with the blade of his sword, and then with a backhand slash, felled the garrison soldier to the ground.

Several more defenders attacked together. Gan Ning dodged one of their spears by sidestepping it, then kicked another man to the ground. He then swept his longsword across the battlefield, forcing back the remaining enemies.

The relentless, fierce slashes made Gan Ning's breathing rapid, but his sword did not stop moving in the slightest.

The battle on the city wall intensified, and Gan Ning's figure weaved through the crowd, with enemies falling wherever he went. His bravery and fearlessness instilled fear in the Jiangdong defenders, who began to retreat step by step.

"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Gan Ning shouted loudly, his voice hoarse but full of power. Despite his many wounds, he continued to charge towards the enemy, seemingly tireless and oblivious to pain.

Under his leadership, the Jinfan Army gradually gained the upper hand on the city wall, advancing step by step and paving the way for the main army that followed.

Gan Ning's heroic figure became the most dazzling presence on the battlefield.

He demonstrated through his actions what a true warrior is, and what fearless spirit truly means. Even when severely wounded, he fought for victory and for glory.

With brocade sails and Gan Ning, who else but me can lead the way!
Gan Ning's valiant performance made the defending troops even more terrified, while the soldiers of the Jin Fan Army were like wolves and tigers, their morale soaring, all howling and fighting like madmen.

One of the Jinfan soldiers, who had lost an arm, simply grabbed a garrison soldier and jumped off the city wall.

Some were stabbed through the stomach, their intestines almost spilling out, but they still stared with bloodshot eyes and continued to fight desperately against the Jiangdong soldiers.

The Jinfan Army's tenacious performance made the already demoralized Jiangdong soldiers even more panicked and fearful; they had never seen such a frenzied army.

The look in these people's eyes was terrifying. It was as if they had only one belief: to charge forward, to charge forward recklessly, to fight to the death!
Gan Ning descended like a god of war, brandishing his long sword. The blade flashed on the city wall, each swing carrying a sharp whistling sound and deadly killing intent. His roar resounded through the sky, as if to terrify the entire battlefield.

Despite being wounded in multiple places and his battle robe stained with blood, Gan Ning's eyes remained resolute and fierce. His movements showed no sign of slowing down; on the contrary, they became even more swift. The Jiangdong defenders on the city walls were forced to retreat steadily under his relentless assault, and panic spread among them.

Seeing that the defending troops could not hold out, Sun Kuang's eyes widened in fury. Holding his long sword, he charged at Gan Ning. Sun Kuang's attack was fierce, each sword aimed straight for Gan Ning's vitals. Gan Ning, however, was not afraid and met Sun Kuang's attack head-on. The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle, their swords flashing and sparks flying.

Gan Ning dodged Sun Kuang's fierce thrust by sidestepping, and swung his sword to slash at Sun Kuang's arm. Sun Kuang felt the pain, but gritted his teeth and persevered, launching another powerful attack. A hint of disdain flashed in Gan Ning's eyes. He moved nimbly, skillfully avoiding Sun Kuang's attacks, and at the same time, seized the opportunity to slash at Sun Kuang's chest.

Sun Kuang was unable to dodge in time and was struck hard by Gan Ning's blade, causing blood to spurt out.

Sun Kuang's eyes were filled with resentment and despair, but it was too late to turn the tide, and he finally collapsed helplessly in a pool of blood. After killing Sun Kuang, Gan Ning's momentum grew even stronger. His roar terrified the remaining defenders, and the Jinfan Army seized the opportunity to intensify its offensive. The situation on the city wall gradually fell under Gan Ning's control.

Gan Ning, his eyes bloodshot with rage, stood on the city wall. As the fierce battle continued, darkness fell. Suddenly, a group of people launched an attack on the east gate from inside the city. These people were mostly servants and guards, and their numbers were not small.

Gradually, it attracted many more people to join, with Yu Fan and Gu Yong leading the way.

"Something terrible has happened! The East Gate is under attack!"

At this moment, Yu Fan no longer cared about the danger. Despite being a thin and weak scholar, he burst forth with a strong fighting spirit. Holding his long sword, he kept urging, "Go quickly! Open the city gate immediately!"

The Jiangdong army collapsed completely. Even if Sun Quan learned that Yu Fan had betrayed him, he would not have time to send troops to stop them.

The defending troops were already stretched thin, and Gan Ning's fierce attack throughout the afternoon resulted in even more casualties.

Yu Fan and Gu Yong took the lead in encouraging others, and more and more people joined in, including many soldiers who were defending the city.

Everyone knew that Chaisang could not be defended, and Sun Quan's power was doomed.

After a fierce battle, the city gate was finally opened with a loud creak.

Lu Xun, who had been waiting outside the city, gave an order, and his soldiers rushed in and joined Yu Fan's troops.

This caused quite a stir. The defending troops completely collapsed, and many surrendered. Some even threw their weapons on the ground and obediently squatted down.

In an instant, shouts of battle shook the heavens and the earth, and the sounds of horses' hooves, footsteps, and clashing weapons filled the city.

The already low morale of the Jiangdong soldiers completely dissipated at this moment. The soldiers scattered and fled, abandoning their armor and weapons, creating a chaotic scene.

Gan Ning stood on high ground, gazing at his own army pouring into the city, his eyes gleaming with the light of victory. His wounds were still bleeding, but this did not diminish his fighting spirit in the slightest.

"Brothers, victory is in sight! Kill!" Gan Ning roared as he charged from the city wall into the city.

The Jinfan Army soldiers followed closely behind, like a pack of hungry wolves, pouncing on the panicked Jiangdong soldiers.

Every soldier of the Jinfan Army had a ferocious expression, and the weapons in their hands ruthlessly reaped the lives of the enemy.

Gan Ning brandished his longsword, leaving a trail of blood wherever he went. He was incredibly brave and unstoppable. Under his leadership, the Jinfan Army swiftly occupied block after block, forcing the Jiangdong soldiers into a corner with nowhere to run.

The Jinfan Army continued its advance, with only one goal: to completely conquer Chaisang.

As time went on, the resistance of the Jiangdong soldiers weakened, and Chaisang City fell completely into the control of the Jinfan Army.

A group of people gathered around Sun Quan, trying to make a last stand, but Gan Ning led his men to completely surround them.

Gan Ning licked his lips excitedly, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, and sneered disdainfully, "Sun Quan, the tide has turned, what's the point of continuing to struggle?"

Sun Quan gripped his longsword tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably. At this moment, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation for him.

Lu Xun walked over and said coldly, "General Gan, why waste words with them?"

Lu Xun pointed to the soldiers around Sun Quan and said, "If you lay down your weapons now, it's not too late. Otherwise, you will all die."

These people were relatively loyal to Sun Quan. Although some wavered, no one voluntarily left.

Sun Quan was trapped in a corner of the city, with only a few hundred loyal guards by his side. They stood back to back in a circle, their faces solemn and resolute, preparing for a final stand.

Lu Xun led his army, pressing forward relentlessly, gradually shrinking the encirclement. Sun Quan's eyes were filled with anger and resentment.

However, Lu Xun remained expressionless, his eyes devoid of pity. He coldly waved his hand and ordered, "Release the arrows!"

In an instant, the Jinfan Army, armed with repeating crossbows, rained down on Sun Quan's guards like a dense storm. The arrows whistled past, and the air was filled with the scent of death.

The guards tried to raise their shields, but to no avail; arrows rained down, piercing their bodies. Screams filled the air, and blood instantly stained the ground red.

As Sun Quan watched his guards fall one by one, his heart was filled with despair and grief. But he still gritted his teeth and straightened his spine, refusing to yield.

In the end, all the hundreds of guards fell in pools of blood, leaving Sun Quan isolated and helpless, his fate sealed!
That night, Sun Quan was imprisoned, and all his family members were also taken into custody.

After capturing Chaisang, the soldiers cheered. The capture of Chaisang meant that the Jiangdong region would soon be pacified.

This tremendous achievement made everyone ecstatic, and many even became arrogant and carried away by their success.

However, Lu Xun did not become complacent and maintained the composure expected of a strategist.

He said to Gan Ning, "Lu Meng will be sending people over soon. Before they know that the city has fallen, let me personally lead the troops to ambush them on the way."

Knowing that Gan Ning had fought too hard in this battle and had more than a dozen wounds of varying sizes, Lu Xun volunteered to set up an ambush halfway through the battle.

Gan Ning hesitated for a moment, "Boyan, can you do it?"

Lu Xun smiled confidently, "General Gan underestimates me. Ten years ago, His Majesty sent me to carry out an ambush mission."

Gan Ning couldn't help but gasp. "It seems I really can't underestimate you. Well then, be careful."

Gan Ning waved his hand and called Guan Cheng over, "You take some men and go with him. Remember, you must protect his safety."

Guan Cheng nodded hurriedly and vigorously, "Don't worry, I've got it covered!"

Lu Xun glanced at Gan Ning gratefully, then left Chaisang without lingering.

Meanwhile, on Lü Meng's side, upon learning that Gan Ning was leading an attack on the city and that Chaisang was in imminent danger, the usually composed Lü Meng lost his composure. (End of Chapter)
