Chapter 76

Two days later, Sun Ce returned to Changsha from Jizhou, and immediately led his troops to Danyang to attack Danyang County.

Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xuzhou. Now is the time when Yangzhou is empty, so Sun Ce has no hesitation or dissatisfaction.

Sun Ce, who had long been eager to fight, was not satisfied in Jizhou, so he could only vent his desire to fight after returning to Jiangnan.

Leading troops and horses to march towards Danyang County, Sun Ce said to a fierce general on a bay red horse beside him, "Xingba, the city wall of Danyang County is extremely high. It is said that Yuan Shu's number one fierce general, Ji Ling, also came to guard it. It worked!"

The fierce general who rides the horse beside Sun Ce is very individual. There is a bell hanging on the chest of his bay red horse, which makes a crisp copper bell sound.

This person is none other than Gan Ning, the leader of the Jiujiang thief who was subdued by Sun Ce and recovered by force, a loyal and fierce general.

Even Gan Ning wore a bell around his waist.

Moreover, his military uniform was even more luxurious than Sun Ce's, which deserved his title of "Gan Ning of the Bell".

Gan Ning smiled strangely.

This kind of laughter is still the original wild laughter when he was a water thief, and it is aggressive.

However, Gan Ning was not born a water thief.

If you trace his family background, he can be regarded as a descendant of the family.

He is a son of a rich family in the Western Shu area, but he does not do his job properly and is a knight-errant.Gan Ning stopped attacking others until he was in his 20s.

But later, because he violated the law, he could only lead a group of brothers to escape to the Jingzhou area, and after going through many twists and turns, he finally became a Jinfan thief.

Sun Ce never cared about his friends' personalities. He only cared about his friends' strength, whether they were qualified enough to be friends with him.

And, is my friend a loyal person, a loyal person?

Moreover, Gan Ning's current force is comparable to Sun Ce's.

Although both Sun Ce and Gan Ning can continue to grow, Sun Ce is younger after all.

After hearing Sun Ce's question, Gan Ning laughed and said, "Ji Ling is nothing more than that. I have fought against him. Although this guy is a fierce general, he is not very capable."

"In a one-on-one fight, he can at most suppress me after a hundred or so rounds, but if it's Brother Bofu, I don't think he can beat you."

"However, Ji Ling's force should not be underestimated. If he exerts his full strength, he can fight you within a hundred rounds, and the outcome will be evenly contested."

Gan Ning was very disdainful towards Ji Ling when he first spoke, this is Gan Ning's own character traits.

But just halfway through his speech, he remembered the tremendous pressure he felt when he played against Ji Ling in a one-on-one match.

Immediately, he didn't dare to underestimate Ji Ling anymore, Gan Ning showed a serious look, obviously he attached great importance to this person.

Sun Ce hadn't fought Ji Ling yet, so he asked curiously: "So Ji Ling is so strong? How does You Ping compare with Gong Yi, that Ji Fuyi?"

Sun Ce suppressed his inner desire to fight, took a deep breath, and wanted to know more about Ji Ling's strength.

Youping is Zhou Tai's character; Gongyi is Jiang Qin's character; as for Ji Fuyi, it is naturally Ji Ling.

After Gan Ning glanced at his good brothers Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, he didn't show any mercy to them.

Gan Ning said: "You Ping and Gong Yi's strength is not bad, but compared with Ji Ling, there is still a gap."

"If it's Gong Yi, he and Ji Ling will have no chance of escaping in a one-on-one match; You Ping is good at defense, and he can entangle Ji Ling for dozens of rounds."

After hearing Gan Ning's description, both Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin lowered their heads slightly, expressing their agreement with Gan Ning's description.

Although Jiang Qin usually boasted that he was superior in force, he did not dare to make a high profile in front of Sun Ce and others.

Ji Ling's force was not weak, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin both knew it well, so naturally they didn't brag about themselves.

When Sun Ce heard that Gan Ning thought highly of Ji Ling, his desire to fight became even stronger.

It seems that it is his destiny to challenge the master.

Sun Ce swallowed, his eyes full of war, and said, "Come here, send a battle card to Ji Ling in Danyang City, and let him come out of the city the day after tomorrow to fight me!"

"Just tell him that if he can defeat me, I, Sun Ce, will admit defeat and lead the troops back to Changsha immediately."

"If Ji Fuyi loses, let him let Danyang out! There will be no battle between the armies of the two sides, and casualties will be reduced. I think he will agree."

Sun Ce clenched the Overlord Spear in his hand, as if even the Overlord Spear was excited, eager to fight against the strong.

After hearing the order, the clerics under Sun Ce quickly drafted a battle post, and after half an hour, a group of soldiers were sent to Danyang City first to send the battle post.

half a day later

Sun Ce led his soldiers to set up camp five miles away from Danyang, and it was already dusk when they arrived here.

The battle post was sent to Danyang City, and an archer from the Jiangdong Army shot the battle post into the city.

The soldiers guarding the tower of Danyang were startled by the arrow feathers, and the sound of the wind flashed past his ears.

The arrow feather fell on the tower, and the soldier quickly picked up the arrow feather and took off the battle post on it.

Sending the post to Ji Ling, Ji Ling opened it, read it carefully, and then laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! This little tiger actually wants to challenge me. I think he is used to domineering in the Jiangdong area, and he thinks he can defeat me."

"The battlefield is not as simple as those small battles in the Jiangdong area. Every general who can survive the battlefield, who is weak in force?"

"He, Sun Bofu, wants to challenge me, Ji Ling, so I will fight! Wang Ling, you come to defend the city tomorrow, and I will take the personal guards to accept the challenge!"

Ji Ling handed the battle post to his lieutenant general, asking him to take a look at what was written on it.

After Lieutenant General Wang Ling saw this battle post, he immediately swallowed, feeling a little uneasy about General Ji Ling.

Lieutenant General Wang Ling still suggested: "General, Sun Ce has a lot of strong generals, why don't you let the other lieutenants go with you to fight the battle."

"If he, Sun Ce, challenges you, it's a trick, then the other lieutenants can also help you."

Hearing Wang Ling's cautious suggestion, Ji Ling calmed down, and immediately squinted his eyes and thought about it.

After a few seconds, Ji Ling said: "Although Sun Ce is not a fool, he is definitely a martial idiot. Such a guy should not be careful."

"However, since we are ordered to guard Danyang County, it is prudent to ask the other five lieutenants to go with me tomorrow."

"The battle post says to fight at Crouching Niugang. It's a good place, it's a fight with a fierce general."

"There are only two exits in the post, which happened to be the entrance where Sun Ce and I entered. You take people there to explore the terrain tonight and make sure that the Jiangdong Army did not set up an ambush in advance."

Ji Ling is very cautious, he can't help but have high martial arts skills, and his rigorous attitude is also an important advantage for him to become the number one fighter under Yuan Shu's command.

After dinner, Ji Ling's five lieutenants led their troops to Wo Niu Gang to explore the terrain there.

Early the next morning, Ji Ling took his personal guards and headed towards Wo Niu Gang.

After arriving at Woniugang, Ji Ling glanced at the five lieutenants guarding the mountain pass to the north of Woniugang, and said, "What, there shouldn't be an ambush here, right?"

After hearing General Ji Ling's words, a lieutenant general clasped his fists and replied, "Report to the general, there are no enemy ambushes in Wo Niu Gang."

"Sun Ce's troops assembled in the south of Woniugang, and they brought less than 500 people. Inside Woniugang, there are only Sun Ce and his two generals."

These lieutenant generals of Ji Ling had already found out the surrounding situation clearly. After all, they had been stationed here all night.

Ji Ling smiled reassuringly. He clenched the three-pointed two-edged knife tightly in his hand, and rode his horse towards the crouching cow hill.

The four lieutenants followed Ji Ling into Woniugang. After all, Sun Ce also brought his entourage.

The remaining lieutenant general is in charge of leading the troops outside Wo Niu Gang, observing the situation at any time, and getting ready to rush in.

Ji Ling rode his horse slowly towards the post, and when he reached an open place, he happened to see Sun Ce.

This is a basin area with an area of ​​about ten acres, and the surrounding terrain is not suitable for laying out an ambush.

Ji Ling personally looked around to make sure there was no ambush before approaching Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's heart was full of enthusiasm, but he still said to Ji Ling: "Ji Ling, I didn't expect you to be so cautious and worried that I might have an ambush?"

Hearing Sun Ce's cynicism, Ji Ling didn't get angry at all. Instead, he said: "As a general, caution is the first priority. Be careful when sailing for thousands of years. Even you, Sun Bofu, may not be immune to conspiracy."

Ji Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Ce.

It was not the first time he met Sun Ce, but it was the first time he confronted him on the battlefield.

Sun Ce snorted coldly, and said, "Wannian, that's the bastard! I, Sun Ce, never use any tricks, otherwise I wouldn't have come to challenge you."

"Xingba, Youping, you all stand back, I'll go and meet Ji Lingji Fuyi, who is known as Yuan Shu's number one fierce general!"

"Ji Fuyi, if my Sun Bofu is defeated today, I will withdraw my troops with my own children. If you are defeated, give up Danyang."

After hearing Sun Ce's words, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai rode their horses back one after another to make room for Sun Ce to fight.

Ji Ling's lieutenants also retreated one after another, not intending to interfere with the general and Sun Ce's duel.

Ji Ling sneered.

He recognized Gan Ning, he had fought with the Jinfan bandit before, Ji Ling knew that this man was very powerful.

But Gan Ning is now Sun Ce's general, which makes Ji Ling more cautious, and understands that Sun Ce's force is superior to Gan Ning.

With a roar, Sun Ce gripped the Overlord Spear tightly, and charged towards Ji Ling on his horse.

Ji Ling also yelled loudly. He is in his prime, and his explosive power is much greater than Sun Ce's, and he is also head-on.

The overlord spear and the three-pointed two-edged knife collided, and the arms of Ji Ling and Sun Ce were instantly numb!

Sun Ce was shocked: "Good guy, Ji Ling is really not simple, his power is definitely much greater than Xingba!"

"The three-pointed double-edged knife is not a heavy weapon, but it is also convenient for comparing strength. I can't use my own weaknesses to match the enemy's strengths."

Ji Ling was also shocked: "Sure enough, it is a cub. He is not weaker than me in strength at such a young age. I'm afraid he will be stronger than his old son Sun Jian when he grows up!"

"With that kind of force, I am afraid that only the flying general Lu Bu, the invincible god of war Yuwen Chengdu and the evil ghost Dian Wei can restrain him!"

Ji Ling gritted her teeth.

He became more cautious, and at the same time rode his horse back two steps, taking the opportunity to relieve the numbness in his arms.
