The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 461 The War Comes Back ([-])

Gan Ning's army finally rearranged its formation.After Gan Ning gave an order, the 6000-man army was all integrated by him.

The reason why Gan Ning did this was nothing more than one purpose: since it was impossible to realize the surprise attack, he had to concentrate all his strength first and attack one side of the enemy army.

At that time, the Jingzhou army will almost retreat, and the crisis of Zhou Tai's army will be resolved.It's just a pity that if this is done, the expected results of the plan of the Governor Lu Meng will be completely discounted.

Gan Ning unsheathed the saber in his hand, took down his broadsword from the saddle bridge, and shouted loudly to his back: "My Jiangdong warriors, follow me to attack the enemy's left wing and rescue Zhou. General Tai's troops!"

For a moment, the Gan Ning army cheered thunderously, and seemed to be full of confidence in the upcoming war.Immediately, the whole army rushed out towards the west at the fastest speed while maintaining the array.

But when the Gan Ning army rushed out of less than a mile, there was a huge roar from the field to the south, and the ground trembled like the skin of a war drum!

Gan Ning couldn't help reining in his horse, and looked to the south in disbelief.Then, he saw the soaring smoke and dust raised by Gai Mengjun's cavalry as they ran.In fact, the distance between the two armies is still relatively far at this time, at least about three miles away!
Gan Ning first saw Gai Mengjun's soldiers rushing in the first row.They galloped wildly, with bright armor on their bodies, and everyone had a look of tension and excitement on their faces.They rushed forward, leaving the smoke and dust raised by the horseshoes far behind.

Gai Meng took the lead, holding up his double axes and roaring: "The whole army forms a conical array, and the enemy is right in front of us!"

On the empty and vast field, the [-] cavalry of the Jingzhou Army set off layers of turbulent waves like a tsunami, with a majestic momentum.

Among them, the cavalry in the central part immediately accelerated to form a protrusion.The cavalry on the two wings gradually fell behind and moved closer to the center.After the army ran for a mile, a sharp wedge formation was finally formed!
At this time, there was no reason for Gan Ning not to know that an enemy army had appeared to the south.And judging from the situation of the smoke and dust, this is definitely a huge cavalry team!
Gan Ning was stunned by the sudden appearance.

Then, Gan Ning suddenly reacted, and shouted loudly to the herald: "Hurry up, order the whole army to stop advancing, and the whole army will line up on the spot to guard against the enemy army rushing from the south!"

The advancing speed of the Jingzhou Army's wedge-shaped formation became faster and faster, and it was densely packed, like a black tsunami, trying to engulf everything near the coast.

The reaction speed of Gan Ning's army was fast enough. They all stopped advancing immediately, turned around and began to rearrange as quickly as possible.

However, this is an army of 6000 people, and it is not easy to rearrange.But what reassured Gan Ning was that although this was a water army, he led the army to fight against Cao Jun all the year round, and most of the soldiers had experience in resisting the cavalry.

As the Jingzhou army approached quickly, the ground shook more violently, and the enemy was approaching. Many people in the Ganning army suddenly became a little flustered.

Seeing this, Gan Ning could only yell loudly like a madman: "Everyone hold on, don't be afraid, we will be able to withstand it..."

Gan Ning's voice was really loud, but the sound of the Jingzhou army's iron hooves trampling the ground was even louder, not to mention that he had too many troops and the range of the formation was too large, so not many people could hear his hoarse shouts.

But fortunately, the troops on the southern flank of the Gan Ning Army were finally regrouped.

The cavalry of the Jingzhou Army maintained a dense conical array, and with a bang, the two sides collided with each other.It was like a huge wave hitting the flood embankment, setting off boundless waves.

For a time, both sides were on their backs.

Then, a dense cavalry formation of 4000 men tore open a hole in the center of the Ganning army's defense line, just like a pack of wolves rushing into a group of bison who were desperately resisting.

But Gan Ning's army is definitely not easy to mess with.

Gan Ning quickly realized that the situation was not good for him.It is already a miracle that my own army did not collapse immediately in the face of a cavalry charge in the field.He couldn't ask for anything more.

Therefore, Gan Ning did not immediately lead his army forward, he ran to the center of the army, and kept gathering scattered soldiers, trying to intercept the enemy's surprise attack at this position with the densest formation.

What's more, their mission this time is so important.Once they failed, Zhou Tai's 8000 troops would really face the crisis of annihilation.

Thus, a life-and-death battle unfolded behind Zhou Tai's army.

The wolves of the Jingzhou army bared their snow-white fangs, wanting to kill all the bison of the Ganning army and treat them as their own delicious meal.But these buffaloes leaned closely together, the ones in front were killed, while the ones behind were still resolutely resisting, trying their best to fight for their own hope of survival!
The two sides launched a fierce bloody battle in the wilderness.

Gan Ning's army shot with dense long arrows and crazily blocked with long knives and spears. Jingzhou army's iron cavalry fought back and rushed left and right, trying their best to maintain the speed of the cone formation.Without speed, there is no power to fight back, and the attack power of iron cavalry will drop by more than half.

However, the casualties of the Jingzhou Army gradually became serious, and the impact force also decreased.

Gan Ning, with his rich combat experience, immediately saw this.There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he raised the big knife high in his hand, and he was about to attack himself.

The [-] soldiers gathered around Gan Ning, together with the [-] guards of Gan Ning, formed a dense formation and rushed head-on to the front of the cavalry.

This time, Gan Ning decided to spare no expense.He has already made up his mind to use the bodies of these 2000 people to forcefully intercept the Jingzhou army's conical formation.He has decided that even if all the 2000 people die, he will do it!
Then, Ge Meng saw a scene that made him admire.

The Gan Ning army formed an extremely strict phalanx with 100 people as a line and 20 people as a column, and attacked head-on with the force of a river bursting its embankment.It can be seen that this is definitely a well-trained army on weekdays!
Gan Ningjun's broadsword fell forward, and the phalanx moved. The 2000-man Wu army roared and charged fiercely towards the Jingzhou army's salient, seemingly fearless.
