Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 94 Admiral Lingling
Although Gan Ning said so verbally, he still sent someone to Linwu to report to Lantian.

With five hundred troops versus one thousand troops, and the fact that they are defending the city, the chances of winning are very high.

However, Guiyang County is currently harvesting in summer. Due to the introduction of new technologies and new farm tools, this season may be the best harvest in recent decades.

Gan Ning didn't want to cause the people to panic because of the military disaster, so that the timing of harvesting would be delayed.

He personally led the troops out of the west of the city, and ambushed 200 people on the left and right sides of the valley entrance at the southern foot of Jiuyi Mountain, while he led a hundred soldiers to wait for work in the shade of trees.

In the classroom of the Martial Arts Hall, Gao Shun emphasized the importance of sentry and scouting. Lan Tian, ​​a layman who was an observer, also pointed out the importance of intelligence, thinking that it should be ranked first in military warfare, and even suggested the establishment of a special reconnaissance battalion.

Gan Ning was both lecturing and listening to the lectures. When dealing with the invading enemy, 20 of his [-] men were on guard, so Xing Daorong's every move was under his control.

In the scorching summer, there are lush forests at the southern foot of Jiuyi Mountain, but the roads are rough, and the speed of walking on horseback is not fast.

It was already noon when they walked out of the path, and at this time people were exhausted and needed to rest, so Xing Daorong ordered the whole army to drink water on the spot.

Before everyone took a few sips, they saw dust flying in the east, and a group of men and horses came up to meet them aggressively.

When Xing Daorong saw the banner with the word Gan, he immediately knew that the Lord was coming, but the number of troops was smaller than expected.

Xing Daorong got on his horse, and the soldiers lined up immediately.

"Where do you bastards dare to invade our territory?" Gan Ning shouted with a long knife in his hand.

"Blind your dog's eyes, this is Lingling Admiral General Xing." General Pi beside Xing Daorong introduced.

Xing Daorong saw that Gan Ning was quite imposing, but it was impossible for these hundreds of soldiers to resist him, so at this time he was still a little arrogant and didn't take the initiative to speak.

Gan Ning snorted coldly, "Admiral? Self-appointed?"

"You..." that general Pi didn't know how to refute, after all, General Lingling really came from the prefect Liu Du's mouth, it's really hard for outsiders to deny this title.

Xing Daorong reached out his hand to stop the general, and asked with a frown, "Xing Daorong, are you General Gan?"

"Since you know my name, why don't you retreat quickly?" Gan Ning said contemptuously.

"You general, why should you talk to him so much?" General Pi couldn't see it, and became agitated.

Xing Daorong said indifferently: "You speak very loudly but you never change your mind. You not only kidnapped the people of Lingling County, but also killed a lot of officers and soldiers in Yingdao County. Today, I am here to ask for an explanation under the order of the prefect."

"The general came to ask for an explanation, and he brought quite a few people with him. Those people were relocated voluntarily, and Yingdao County took its own humiliation instead. What does it have to do with me, Gan Ning?"

"It's really unreasonable. The people of Lingling live and work in peace and contentment. If it weren't for your clever robbery, how could they move to Guiyang? I don't bring more people, how can I reason with you, a bandit?" Xing Daorong said unhurriedly.

Gan Ning put the saber on his shoulder and sneered, "Admiral is only good at talking?"

"In front of the prefect Zhao, I will show courtesy first and then soldiers. You better return my common people with knowledge and interest, otherwise I will offend the general and cut off your dog's head." Xing Daorong was finally angry.

"Then let's see if Admiral Xing's sword is fast." Gan Ning immediately swung his sword, posing for a fight.

At this time, Xing Daorong commanded the rear army to charge directly, and he would not end up fighting a bandit.

Gan Ning cursed secretly, urged him to go forward and cut down one general head-on, when the opponents all rushed over, the ambush soldiers in the dense forest on both sides rushed out together.

These hundreds of people were the elite trained by Gan Ning, plus they had been enjoying the shade in the woods for supplies, so it was no problem to deal with Xing Daorong's exhausted soldiers from afar.

The soldiers of Lingling were frightened by the ambush at first. During the battle, they found that individual soldiers could not resist the opponent at all, and lost more than [-] people in a short time.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xing Daorong immediately commanded the whole army to retreat, but the entrance of the valley was very narrow and was blocked by ambushes.

"Gan Ning, you're crazy." Xing Daorong charged forward with a sword in his hand.

"Well done, let me see the general's martial arts." Gan Ning waved his sword.

The fight between the generals in front of the battle depends on the bravery of the warriors. Xing Daorong raised his long knife and fell from the sky. Although the blade whizzed with great momentum, it was full of flaws in Gan Ning's eyes.

Gan Ning turned slightly to one side, Xing Daorong's sword brushed past his ear.

In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning raised his long saber and swept across the army, cutting Xing Daorong in half.

Admiral?That's it?
Most of Lingling's soldiers were killed or injured, and the total strength of the troops was already at a disadvantage. At this time, they could only surrender when they saw that the main general was beheaded.

"General Gan, we are willing to surrender." The arrogant general just now surrendered first.

Gan Ning didn't expect Xing Daorong to be so recalcitrant, he would kill him easily in the first round of the fight, and faced with these hundreds of soldiers, he felt difficult, after all, the opponent represented Lingling County, if he, the county magistrate, did too much, It may bring trouble to Lan Tian and even Liu Bei.

Gan Ning's lieutenant general saw his worry, and suggested: "General, why not take them back to Guiyang for now, and make a decision after reporting to Mr. Lan."

Gan Ning nodded in agreement, and not long after returning to Guiyang County, Gao Shun was trapped in the camp and rushed to help.

"Is this the end?" Gao Shun asked in bewilderment seeing Gan Ning's relaxed face.

Gan Ning said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses in Lingling are all mobs, and there are almost no casualties here. I feel that the things in the martial arts hall are really useful for leading troops in battle."

"Well, I'll ask my husband to keep running the lecture hall for a long time." Gao Shun nodded.

"It's just that I beheaded Xing Daorong and detained many soldiers and horses in Lingling. Will it cause trouble for sir?" Gan Ning asked worriedly.

Gao Shun knew the pros and cons as soon as he heard it, he stroked his beard for a while and comforted him: "Mr. Good harvest, don't let outsiders influence us."

"Well, let Boping go back and tell Mr. Guiyang County that there is no problem with me guarding it. If Liu Du really commits a crime, I can go down the river and ask General Zhang for help." Gan Ning said .

"It's so good, I'll go back to Linwu right away." Gao Shun clasped his fists and turned away.

When Lan Tian heard that Gan Ning killed Xing Daorong, he didn't feel any disturbance in his heart. Isn't this kind of idiot just being ridiculed?

Although Gan Ning won the battle, the impact in the later period was indeed great. After all, Liu Biao is still alive now, and Liu Bei can only develop secretly in Guiyang.

"Sir, is this difficult?" Gao Shun asked Lan Tian with a sad face.

"It's a little troublesome, but it can be dealt with. I want to go to Chen County in person." Lan Tianxin said that he could only ask the villain Zhao Fan to file a complaint first to see if he could paralyze Xiangyang. Maybe Kong Ming had a better way.
