Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 165 Impulsive Punishment

"Gan Ning, hurry up and get out of the city, and fight your grandpa Ling Tong for a hundred rounds!" Under Cangwu City, Ling Tong yelled and cursed wildly, and his obscenities were unbearable.Behind him, the [-] Jiaozhou Army is also pretending to be a tiger, and Yaosan drinks four to show off their might.

"Little Ling Tong, your father is already a headless ghost, now you are coming to die again?" The gate of Cangwu City opened with a creak, and Gan Ning led thousands of elite soldiers out.To be honest, Gan Ning did not expect that Ling Tong would take the initiative to attack Cangwu. You must know that Cangwu has more than 2 people, and the total number of South China Seas is only [-]. Now Ling Tong, who has a small force, is still actively attacking. It also surprised Gan Ning.He didn't know that Ling Tongyi wanted to take back the four counties, and the other wanted to avenge his father's death. Driven by the two, he couldn't help but take the initiative to send troops.I just want General Dou to defeat Gan Ning first, and then he can regain the four counties in one go.Regarding Ling Tong's plan, it can only be said that the idea is indeed very good.

"Gan Ning's thief, take your life!" Seeing Gan Ning's appearance, Ling Tong didn't want to say anything more, so he cursed again, and immediately stepped forward to fight with Gan Ning.Naturally, Gan Ning was not afraid of him, he took the Hengjiang Ghost Head Saber in his hand and fought with him.

"Hey!" Gan Ning dodged Ling Tong and shot him in the chest, while the opponent was about to shrink back, he stretched out his left hand to grab his gun barrel, and the ghost head knife in his right hand sliced ​​directly along the gun barrel.Ling Tong knew that if he didn't let go of his weapon, his fingers would be cut off.But once the weapon is lost, he will definitely be defeated. Right now, he is also making a dangerous move. He raised the gun with his left hand, but with his right hand, he drew his waist knife and slashed at Gan Ning's left hand that was holding the gun.Gan Ning's Ghost Head Saber changed from a straight cut to an upward cut, so that even if he straightened his arm, he would hit Ling Tong's left hand with his waist knife before he could hit Ling Tong's right hand.Gan Ning saw the opportunity very quickly, he let go of Ling Tong's gun, and swung his saber to block his saber.

In the first round of fighting, Huo Jun on the tower was already terrified.If Ling Tong raised it a little slower, his fingers would have been broken in nine out of ten cases; if Gan Ning retracted a little slower, he would lose his arm.At this moment, Gan Ning knew that today's opponent might be evenly matched with him.

When confronted with an evenly matched opponent, Gan Ning's fighting spirit was also ignited, and the Ghost Head Saber attacked Ling Tong with every move, as if opening up the world.Although Ling Tong was eager to take revenge, he also knew that today's opponent was by no means inferior to him in martial arts, and if he was a little careless, he would be dead. Right now, he crossed his spear and concentrated on receiving the move, fighting steadily and preparing for a protracted battle.

The protracted battle between the two sides immediately opened the eyes of the soldiers of the two armies watching the battle.Gan Ning's ghost-headed saber is only half a foot long, and it can be used with one hand or with both hands. But it is open and closed, dignified and upright, every move and style is clear, but it is often the one that must be saved when attacking the enemy.The two were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell the winner for a while.

"This kid's martial arts has improved a lot!" Gan Ning was also secretly astonished when he tried to parry Ling Tong's shot.In the battle of Kuaiji four years ago, Ling Tong was defeated by Zhao Feng in less than 50 rounds. Now I have fought him for more than [-] rounds, but I still haven't gained the upper hand. It seems that Ling Tong has worked hard for four years. what.

Gan Ning was right, although Ling Tong lived in the southern wasteland for four years, he never forgot to avenge his father, and he never stopped practicing martial arts.Now he is far above Ding Feng and Lu Meng in terms of martial arts.Just because of his impatience, he is not considered a general.It wasn't particularly suitable to send him to guard the South China Sea this time, but Sun Quan really had no one to use, so he had to be sent here.If Sun Quan knew that Ling Tong had acted without authorization and brought people to Cangwu to challenge Gan Ning, he would probably vomit blood again.

The two fought for over a hundred rounds and still couldn't decide the outcome. Seeing that it was getting late, Huo Jun on the city called Jin to withdraw his troops. "General Gan, this guy has amazing martial arts!" Huo Jun asked in surprise seeing Gan Ning panting.

"Exactly, but this guy is too impatient, he even ignored the important places in the South China Sea for revenge. General Huo, I think he brought more than ten thousand troops today, and the South China Sea defenders will not exceed two or three thousand at most. Why don't you send someone to report it overnight?" General Ji Ling of Luling, let him send troops to steal this kid's retreat?" Gan Ning suddenly said.

"Great plan, great plan!" Huo Jun immediately praised him when he heard it, and immediately sent a letter to Ji Ling to tell him. Gan Ning was going to fight Ling Tong again in the next few days and drag him here.

For the next few days, Ling Tong would come over every day to scold and seek revenge from Gan Ning.Gan Ning is also very straightforward, as long as you call for a battle, I will come out to fight, and I promise to be there whenever you are called.After three days like this, Ling Tong gradually realized that something was wrong.But seeing that killing his father and enemy is close at hand, Ling Tong is unwilling to leave no matter what.At this time, Ji Ling of Luling had already led the Jingzhou army to attack Nanhai with [-] troops, and attacked Fanyu City, where the Nanhai County Government was located.

There are still more than 2000 defenders in the South China Sea, and the city walls are fairly dangerous.But in the face of an enemy army ten times larger than oneself, such defense is not impenetrable after all.In addition, when the Jiaozhou army broke through the city that day, they had robbed and robbed the former South China Sea prefect Gong Zhi in the wilderness, so the people's hearts were not against him.Ji Ling led the army to attack a few times, and the people in the city spontaneously rioted to support the Jingzhou army. The Jiaozhou army didn't have any generals who could restrain the place, so the city was destroyed after a long time. Of the more than 2000 defenders, except for those who died in battle and those who surrendered and were captured, there were only a dozen or so who escaped by taking advantage of the chaos.

By the time the dozen or so people fled to the foot of Cangwu City to report to Ling Tong, this young general who was still dazzled by anger had already been fighting Gan Ning for ten days.Hearing the news of the fall of the South China Sea, Ling Tong felt like a bucket of cold water poured down his head in the cold winter, and he felt a bit of a bone-chilling chill.

"In other words, the Nanhai County has already been lost?" Ling Tong looked at the kneeling soldiers in front of him, and after a long silence, he asked in a harsh voice.

"Yes." The two replied with their heads bowed.Everyone was silent, once the South China Sea fell, it meant that the road from the land to Jiangdong had been cut off, and his 1 troops had been completely reduced to a single army.

Ling Tong gradually understood that these days Gan Ning took the trouble to fight with him every day, and put on a defensive stance, not because of his strong martial arts, so that he could not fight back, but probably more because he wanted to fight back. Trapped himself here so that Ji Ling could go fetch the South China Sea.It's only now that I realize that it's too late, and the price I paid for blinding my mind because of hatred is really too heavy.

"General, what can you do if it seems like this?" The generals under his command were already a little at a loss when they heard the news of the fall of the South China Sea.Ling Tong raised his head and looked at the crowd, but he saw some with confused eyes, some with firm eyes, and some even with flickering eyes, probably thinking about surrendering.Ling Tong knew that the surplus food in the army was only enough to last for more than half a month.If you get stuck here, let alone Gan Ning and the others come to attack, you will starve to death directly.

"You can't be trapped here!" After making up his mind, Ling Tong also resolutely gave up the chance of revenge, turned around and said to everyone: "Pass my order, go south to the nearest port with all your strength, and go to Zhuya County first by boat. Save your strength, and go to Yizhou if you really can't!"

When Ling Tong's generals heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.At last, their general hadn't completely exploded in the small universe, and chose to fight the Jingzhou army to the death, otherwise, he might have completely quit.Although it is not good to go far away from Zhuya County and Yizhou, it is better than risking your life.

"General, but our nearest port may not have enough ships for the army to cross the sea to Zhuya County!" an aide cautiously advised.Although Zhuya County is not too far from the mainland, but [-] troops want to cross it, the transportation volume is indeed not small in the Three Kingdoms Navigation Era.

"Leave hundreds of weak soldiers behind, set up false camps to confuse the enemy, and then the army will move out at night and advance at full speed!" Ling Tong said in a deep voice.This is a typical example of losing a pawn to protect the handsome man. If he didn't take advantage of the enemy's complete occupation of Jiaozhou and escape, and wait until Ji Ling and Zhang Nan surrounded him, then Ling Tong would really be overwhelmed and walk away.At present, the generals listened to his words, and retreated overnight after bluffing.That night, Gan Ning and Huo Jun got the news from Ji Ling, and sent people to Ling Tong's Dazhai to have a look, only to find that there were only a few hundred old and weak soldiers who were regarded as abandoned sons, and Ling Tong had already led most of them away.

"Ling Tong can't go to the east, west, north, east and west. He can only go to the south to go to Zhuya County. Dazhai is still full of people during the day. I think he left after nightfall. It shouldn't be long, at most. Two hours, and it will take time for him to find a boat to go out to sea, if we catch up, we should be able to catch up!" Gan Ning keenly sensed the opportunity of the war.

"It's so good, I'll take this opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles!" Huo Jun also agreed with him, and the two of them assembled 2 people to pursue Ling Tong.
Facts have proved that Gan Ning's judgment was not wrong, at least not completely wrong.After chasing for about a day, Gan Ning's pursuers finally caught up with Ling Tong in a small fishing boat by the sea. At this time, Ling Tong was using all the boats he had caught to escort his soldiers to Zhuya County as much as possible.Seeing that Gan Ning came with three times as many pursuers as himself, Ling Tong did not dare to fight recklessly, but chose to squeeze into the small fishing boat with the first batch of about 2000 soldiers and set off for Zhuya County .The remaining about seven or eight thousand soldiers were once again forced to become abandoned.Having been completely abandoned by Ling Tong, they all chose to surrender in desperation.

"Damn it, let this kid run away!" Standing on the seashore and watching the boat going further and further away, Gan Ning waved the ghost knife in his hand resentfully, quite unwillingly said.Huo Jun, who was chasing with him, was more open-minded, and immediately comforted him: "It is already very good to be able to keep Ling Tong's nearly 8000 people. Even if he escapes to Zhuya County, what can he do with his thousands of troops? At most, he can only hide for a while. After the Jingxiang navy gets familiar with the water conditions here, General Gan can naturally lead his army to the island and kill the grass. Maybe if this kid is unlucky, he will directly feed the sharks! "

"That's right!" Gan Ning also thought a lot after hearing Huo Jun's explanation.When the two returned to Cangwu, Gan Ning ordered the Jingxiang navy to go into the sea to familiarize themselves with the water conditions, and prepare for the attack on Zhuya County in the future; And report the military situation here to Liu Bei and Zhao Feng who is in Jiangdong.

"Gan Xingba has pacified the six counties of Jiaozhou, captured Sun Jing and his son alive, and Ling Tong led thousands of remnants to flee to Zhuya County?" Zhao Feng was also taken aback when he saw this battle report.
