The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

He can be regarded as a leader, but when facing Gan Ning's spear, his expression also changed drastically, which was even more terrifying than the blow from his senior brother Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren's attacks are more technical. Although they are equally domineering, Zhang Xiu still has some understanding of Zhang Ren's offensive methods.

But in the face of Gan Ning's blow that poured all his strength into his body, Zhang Xiu was somewhat timid.

Because he didn't know Gan Ning's strength, he had no contact with Gan Ning before.

Fighting against Gan Ning rashly, without any precautions, facing an unfamiliar opponent like Gan Ning naturally suffered a big loss.

In addition, Gan Ning had a lot of strength, so Zhang Xiu was not at all sure of taking Gan Ning's blow.

If he resisted forcefully, he might not be able to stop Gan Ning's blow, but would be stabbed to death by Gan Ning instead.

Zhang Xiu didn't want to be killed by Gan Ning here, his purpose was just to contain Gan Ning.

He didn't need to fight Gan Ning to the death here, so he took a few steps back without hesitation.

Gan Ning's long spear stabbed straight towards Zhang Xiu's chest.

He knew that Zhang Xiu would hide, so he showed a sneer.

Immediately, the arm holding the spear loosened forward.

Originally, the long spear couldn't reach Zhang Xiu's body, but after Gan Ning let go of his hand, he forcibly increased the distance of the long spear by a few points.

He held the gun with one hand and grabbed the butt of the long gun.

The gun body in his hand was already running towards Zhang Xiu's body, and the tip of the gun had already pierced Zhang Xiu's armor.

Ding sound.

The spear pierced Zhang Xiu's armor.

Zhang Xiu's expression changed drastically.

Fortunately, his speed was fast enough, the spear only broke through his armor and pierced a little bit of flesh, and he couldn't move forward.

Zhang Xiu was frightened by Gan Ning's move, and he never dared to confront Gan Ning head-on again.

He could only wave his hand and let the soldiers around him come over to deal with Gan Ning and restrain Gan Ning.

Immediately Zhang Xiu retreated by himself and ran to a place far away from Gan Ning to direct the battle.

Gan Ning wanted to pursue him, but was held back by the swarming enemy soldiers.

Seeing Zhang Xiu fleeing from her side like this, Gan Ning was so angry that his teeth itch.

But there was nothing he could do, so he could only let Zhang Xiu leave in such a leisurely manner.

But even if Zhang Xiu escaped like this, Gan Ning didn't panic, instead, he transferred his anger to Zhang Xiu's soldiers.

After Zhang Xiu was defeated and retreated, he killed a few more soldiers and beheaded all the enemy soldiers in front of him.

It can also play a role, anyway, Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses are not many.

It's just that after Gan Ning killed dozens of enemy soldiers, Zhang Xiu's reinforcements from far away finally arrived here.

That swarm of [-] soldiers and horses, the shock of a huge crowd.

In an instant, Gan Ning felt that this reinforcement was definitely more than 1 people.

These people definitely exceed 2.And since there are 2 reinforcements, it is simply not something that Guan Yu can mobilize now.

"There are so many people, where did Guan Yu get so many people?"

After Gan Ning glanced at the distance, he immediately felt a little doubt in his heart.

Just when Gan Ning was puzzled, the reinforcements from afar gradually approached.

When those people appeared in front of Gan Ning's eyes, Gan Ning was finally able to clearly see the reinforcements.

Suddenly he was taken aback.

Because he found that the costumes of these Yuan Jun were different from those of Guan Yu's soldiers.

The soldiers and horses under Guan Yu are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and they are all dressed in official uniforms.

And these reinforcements are soldiers and horses under Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

Although Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses are dressed in the same clothes as those of the imperial court, there are still some slight differences, which are in line with the local sergeants in Yizhou.

For example, their weapons are not as long as the imperial ones.The armor is also slightly different from that of the imperial court.

Especially the Yizhou army, because the temperature is acceptable, the dress is thinner than that of the imperial court.

Although the appearance is similar, if you look closely, you can still easily distinguish them.

"These men are not Guan Yu's men, but Liu Zhang's troops in Nanzheng City?"

In an instant, Gan Ning guessed that these reinforcements were not Guan Yu's troops through the different attires of these soldiers and horses.

"How did Liu Zhang's troops get together with Guan Yu's troops, and came to support Guan Yu and charged me?"

After thinking it over, Gan Ning seemed even more confused.

"No, Guan Yu's men have teamed up with Liu Zhang!"

Gan Ning thought for a while, and immediately guessed the story inside.

Chapter 989 I'm Not Back

Gan Ning still had a lot of doubts in his heart.

But after he saw the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Ren appear on the battlefield.

All doubts will be answered.

He finally understood why Guan Yu, who should have run out of ammunition and food in the past so many days, was able to firmly suppress the rebellion of his soldiers and horses.

It turned out that these soldiers and horses under Guan Yu joined forces with Liu Zhang in Nanzheng City.

Most of the food and grass for Guan Yu's army was obtained from Liu Zhang.

Only in this way can his soldiers and horses not be short of food and grass in a short time.

Moreover, after uniting Liu Zhang's troops, Guan Yu's army strength increased greatly. If the troops of both sides came to Gan Ning's camp to fight against Gan Ning, Gan Ning's 3 troops would not be their opponents at all.

After realizing this, Gan Ning did not intend to fight Zhang Xiu here at all.

If Zhang Xiu was alone, Gan Ning would not be afraid of only tens of thousands of soldiers. Even if another [-] enemy troops came, Gan Ning was absolutely sure that he could bring his own troops and defeat all future enemies.

However, after Gan Ning knew that these reinforcements were soldiers of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, the meaning was different.

He knew that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Nanzheng City, and once Liu Zhang and Guan Yu's troops joined forces, Guan Yu would definitely be able to mobilize more than [-] troops in a short period of time.

These soldiers and horses are enough to make Gan Ning, who has only 3 people, helpless to fight back.

The number of troops around the camp now exceeded Gan Ning's expectations, and these troops would only continue to increase, not weaken. That's why Gan Ning was unwilling to fight Zhang Xiu at this time.

"Quick, withdraw!"

Gan Ning immediately yelled at the soldiers around him, and asked the lieutenant around him to deliver a message, ordering the army here to retreat slowly and stop attacking.

Only by retreating to the camp first, uniting with other soldiers and horses in the camp, and gathering [-] troops to fight Guan Yu's army together, will there be a chance to block the opponent.

Otherwise, if they are separated, they will be divided and killed by the other party.

"Don't let them escape, jump on me, restrain them, especially Gan Ning, don't let him escape!"

Zhang Xiu also heard Gan Ning's words, and at the same time saw that Gan Ning's army stopped charging outside and began to shrink the line of defense.

Naturally, Gan Ning would not let Gan Ning leave so easily. Once Gan Ning was restrained, he lost the commander's camp and naturally had no possibility of defense.

Guan Yu's army can easily break through this camp.

Zhang Xiu's vanguard, thanks to the assistance of senior brother Zhang Ren, their morale immediately rose.

Originally, they were under the control of Gan Ning's elite everywhere, but because of the arrival of reinforcements, their momentum increased, and the pace of attacking Gan Ning also accelerated.

From defense to counterattack, this caused Gan Ning's retreat speed to be restrained. Fortunately, the distance Gan Ning and others rushed was not far away, and there was still time to retreat.

When Gan Ning led the army back to the camp, he happened to catch up with him. The troops on the left and right flanks were also killed by Guan Yu's army and retreated.

The [-] troops lost a lot and were trapped in this big camp.

Gan Ning began to feel the pressure.

"General! The big thing is bad. We are trapped in this big camp. The soldiers on the left and right flanks have sent information that they have all encountered the enemy's crazy attack. General Zhang Yongyu asked me to ask you, is he going to fight to the death here? , or let him stay behind and let the general break through first!"

Zhang Yongyu was one of the first batch of generals who came out of Liu Zheng's military academy, and he was the same batch of students as Wenpin.

Because of his excellent grades, Wenpin has been successfully promoted to Liu Zheng's subordinate. With his right arm and right arm, he has won Liu Zheng's trust.

The people in the second echelon like Zhang Yongyu were scattered and disrupted, and sent to various barracks to serve as deputy generals.

At that time, Gan Ning was short of two lieutenants, so Zhang Yongyu followed Gan Ning all the time and became Gan Ning's general.

Gan Ning was furious when he heard what the soldiers said.

"Fucking fart, what do you mean let me break through first? Is Lao Tzu Gan Ning a person who will abandon his brother and run for his life alone?"

"Hurry up and send an order to that bastard Zhang Yongyu, and say fight to the death! Everyone, don't take a step back, or you will be dealt with by military law! I have already ordered Su Fei to send a message to His Majesty. We only need to stay here for one day, General Huang Zhong Our soldiers and horses will definitely come to support us, and then we can kill all these thieves!"

Gan Ning yelled at the soldiers, and at the same time, he had no time to waste here. While commanding other troops to shrink the line of defense, he also commanded the troops to deal with the enemies rushing up from the periphery and engage in battle.

On the side of the camp, although the gate of the camp was broken open, the fences around the perimeter still existed and could not be cleared in a short time. It was impossible for Zhang Xiu and Guan Yu's troops to jump over the fence and rush into the camp.

Can only charge wave after wave.

But they rushed forward one after another, but they couldn't directly charge into Gan Ning's core army formation. Instead, after many soldiers were killed and wounded, their attack rhythm gradually slowed down.

Anyway, people like Gan Ning are already trapped here, unable to escape from here, and Zhang Xiu's mission has been fulfilled, so he is not in a hurry, and only waits for Guan Yu to come in person before making plans.

The two sides gradually stalemate in waves of charges.

On Su Fei's side, because he had already hurriedly left from the rear in advance, he came directly to Xicheng to report.

After flying for three hours, he finally arrived, Xicheng.

West City.

Liu Zheng is still discussing with Huang Zhong about the recent movement on Guan Yu's side.

"Han Sheng, it's been another day. It's been seventeen days. Has Guan Yu's subordinates made any changes?"

"Your Majesty, the information given to us by our spies has not changed. Guan Yu has not reduced the distribution of food and grass recently, but has increased the distribution of some food and grass. Could it be that he knows that he is running out of food and grass and is planning to make a last-ditch effort?"

Among Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, there are Liu Zheng's lurking spies, but these spies are of low status and cannot bring Liu Zheng a lot of detailed information. They can only calculate some information from the daily rations.

In the first few days, Guan Yu did reduce the distribution of some food, but in the last few days, he did not reduce the distribution of food, but increased it.

This made Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong feel strange, so they thought that Guan Yu was planning to make a last-ditch effort.

"It's strange, it's strange, what is this guy Guan Yu planning? Should we take someone to fight Guan Yu directly, and try it out?"

9 Chapter Ninety Support

When Liu Zheng was wondering, there was a rush of galloping horses' hooves outside the door.

Before the sound of horseshoes stopped, people outside shouted into the camp with short and hurried voices.

"Urgent report! General Huang, go to the urgent report!"

Su Fei jumped off the horse in one go, and then quickly rushed towards the camp where Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong were.

Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong were talking in the camp, but they were also interrupted by this urgent report from outside the camp.

Immediately looked outside the camp.

At this time, Su Fei just rushed in from the outside.

As soon as he saw Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong were here, he immediately spoke to Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Our army was ordered to garrison outside Nanzheng City, and was besieged by Guan Yu's army. At this time, General Gan Ning is in a difficult battle. Your Majesty, please send reinforcements to help!"

Because of the urgency of the matter, Su Fei shortened the long story, compressed the whole process into one sentence, and asked Liu Zheng for help.

Liu Zheng and Huang Zhongben were attracted by the urgent report from Su Fei's mouth, and they were very interested in what Su Fei said at this time.

After hearing Su Fei's words, his expression changed drastically.

"Su Fei, what's going on? Don't Gan Ning have an army of 3? He is stationed outside Nanzheng City, how could he be besieged by Guan Yu's troops?"

At this time, Su Fei didn't know Liu Zhang who Guan Yu joined forces with.
