Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 208

From Biyang to Langling, the shortest way is through this valley in Funiu Mountain. If you don’t take detours, it’s only about 150 li.

If you bring your family members with you, you will walk even slower.

The trees on the mountainside had already lost their leaves, and hanging on the branches were some ice skates formed by the melting snow.

On both sides of the trail in the valley are yellow weeds and some large and small stones exposed on the ground. The donkey carrying the luggage smells the weeds beside the road from time to time.

Gan Ning is about 25 years old. He is riding a yellow-maned horse, followed by a strong man on each side. One strong man is leading a pair of black war horses with ornate saddles, and the other is carrying A pair of double short halberds made of fine steel.

Further behind, there was a group of soldiers with round shields and short knives. These soldiers were a little shorter than the Central Plains people, most of them were around seven feet, but their arms and legs were very thick!Walking on the mountain road is just like walking on the flat ground!
There were about 500 soldiers in this group, and they walked while guarding a group of men and women in the middle, each of whom carried luggage of different sizes.

This group of people should be Gan Ning and his family members. Because of them, the marching speed of the whole team was much slower.

……

"Father-in-law! Yuan Zhi! Guard the camp, I must go to Funiu Mountain myself!"

Feng Yao temporarily handed over the army to Gong Du and Xu Shu, led more than a hundred followers, five hundred cavalry archers, and two thousand bear guards set off.

The accompanying generals were Dai Ling and Yang Wu, who led Xiongwei and archers respectively, while Feng Yao personally led more than a hundred accompanying cavalry.

Funiu Mountain Valley

Xu Chu led the army to lie down among the weeds on the mountainside, his eyes glaring fiercely, staring at the winding enemy army at the foot of the mountain. The enemy army was divided into three parts. According to the intelligence of the scouts, the front The first is Lou Fa's army, the middle is the army of the general Shen Mi, and the last is Gan Ning's army.

The enemy has only 3000 people, and it also includes handymen and family members!
Xu Chu was planning how to wipe out all the 3000 people in one fell swoop. At this time, another scout came over quietly and said, "Commander Xu, I found the enemy scout just now and killed him. I'm afraid the enemy will know about the presence of the enemy immediately." ambush!"

"Well, now, the whole army will attack!" Xu Chu shouted loudly.

"Kill!!!" Following Xu Chu's loud shout, two thousand tiger guards leaped out, roaring and rushed down the mountain, heading straight for Shen Mi's army in the middle.

The sound of killing immediately vibrated back and forth in the valley, as if there were enemies in all directions, countless!
Shen Mi's army immediately fell into panic, eager to run away, not interested in fighting at all!

Shen Mi yelled angrily, and led his followers on horseback to behead dozens of people in a row, only then did he control the soldiers from fleeing.

"My Liu Jingzhou's general Shen Mi, who is coming?" Shen Mi raised his knife and shouted towards Xu Chu.

When Xu Chu had time to talk to Shen Miduo, his eyes widened, he rushed forward a few steps, and shouted: "Shen Mi, get your head quickly, so I can go back and contribute!" Mi.

With a bang, Shen Mi raised his saber to block it once, but the weapon in his hand was shaken off by Xu Chu.

"Death!" Xu Chufu cut off Shen Mi's head with a knife, held it in his hand, and shouted: "Shen Mi is dead, who else dares to fight!"

Seeing Xu Chu's bravery, the rest of the enemies fled one after another after seeing Xu Chu's bravery. They were chased by Xu Chu's tiger guards and killed nearly a thousand.

Lou Fa, who was at the front, was frightened and did not dare to fight, so he led his army and fled forward, intending to escape to Langling City!

At this time Feng Yao was leading the army, and before the scouts reported back, he heard the sound of killing in the valley, he already knew that the two armies had started to fight, so he hurriedly led his troops forward, intending to prevent Xu Chu and Gan Ning from fighting each other.

Suddenly seeing an enemy army rushing in front, fearing it was Gan Ning, he shouted loudly, "Who is the enemy general in front?"

Seeing that the road ahead was cut off, Lou Fa pretended to be calm and said, "I am Lou Fa of Nanyang, and I am here under the order of Liu Jingzhou. If you are afraid, surrender immediately!"

"Kill!!" Seeing that it wasn't Gan Ning, Feng Yao was not being polite, swung his long sword, patted his horse and rushed up to fight with Lou Fa.

More than a hundred cavalry also galloped on their horses, and Yang Wu led the bow cavalry to charge afterward.

Lou Fa had only less than a thousand soldiers, and was immediately frightened by the charging momentum of the more than six hundred cavalry, and fled one after another, not daring to confront the cavalry head-on.

After several battles between Feng Yao and Lou Fa, Lou Fa saw that the situation was over and panicked. He was stabbed in the shoulder by Feng Yao's sword.

"What's the use of keeping such an incompetent beggar!" Feng Yao swung his sword and beheaded Lou Fa.

At this time, only dozens of Lou Fa's subordinates were still fleeing desperately, and Yang Wu was leading the bow and cavalry to chase after him.

Feng Yao loudly ordered Yang Wu to stop chasing and killing.

"Leave them alive and let them escape to Langling City, just to shake Li Tong's morale!" Feng Yao said.

……

Gan Ning heard the sound of killing in the valley, his expression changed, and he immediately shouted: "Bring my weapon!"

He personally raised the weapon, Gan Ning picked up the double halberds, jumped on the gorgeous black horse on one side, and shouted: "Good boys of Berkshire, don't panic, see that I have killed the enemy's future!" !"

A group of Berkshire soldiers did not fall into chaos because of the ambush, but murderous looks in everyone's eyes.

Following Gan Ning's shout, they roared in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

After roaring three times to kill, all Berkshire soldiers quickly formed a circular Li Yu formation, raised the round shields in their hands, and formed a shield formation.

Gan Ning charged forward on his own, and two thousand tiger guards came rushing towards Sha and shouted: "I am Gan Xingba of Bajun! If the enemy general in front has the courage, dare to fight me to the death!"

Xu Chu saw Gan Ning's brocade robes and red robes, his gorgeous horse, and his extraordinary momentum. He was riding solo and killed two thousand tiger guards.

"I am Xu Zhongkang, the commander of the Tiger Guards under Feng Inspectorate of Yuzhou. I think you are a hero, so I won't kill you. If you are wise, immediately dismount and surrender!" Xu Chu raised his sword and shouted loudly.

Gan Ning had never been so slighted before, he was furious and shouted: "If you want to fight, fight, why should I be afraid! If you want me to surrender, you must win the double halberds in my hands first!" war.

"Wait! I have two thousand tiger guards, and you are only a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers. I have already given you enough face to fight with you. Why don't you make a bet. If I win you, you will immediately lead the army to surrender to me, how about that?" ?" Xu Chu said loudly.

Gan Ning heard the words and thought for a while, if he really lost, if he didn't surrender, these hundreds of brothers might not escape their lives, if they won, maybe they could take the opportunity to turn defeat into victory!
"Okay! I agree, but if I win, I will not kill you, and your two thousand tiger guards will also surrender to me!" Gan Ning did not show any weakness.

Suddenly, Xu Chuhu's guard burst into several angry shouts.

"What a big tone! Commander, don't talk too much, we will go up together and kill his entire army!"

"Thieves dare to speak wild words, what kind of person do you think I am as a tiger guard!"
