Chapter 582 Gan Ning Surrenders

Pang De and Gan Ning were both rare first-class warriors. The fight between the two was like a dragon fighting a tiger. For a moment, only the light of swords and shadows enveloped each other. Pang De held a horse pole in his hand and used it to help his horse from a distance. The impact force suddenly stabbed out, but Gan Ning used all his strength to resist.

The Jinfan bandit soldiers and thousands of Xiliang cavalry were watching the battle from afar on both sides of the strait. They were fascinated by the battle and shouted loudly to encourage their generals.

"General Pang will win, he will win!"

"Boss is invincible, let this guy see how powerful our Jinfan thieves are!"

Having said that, Gan Ning had fewer attacks and more defenses, and gradually fell into a disadvantage. After all, his weapons were too short, so he really suffered.

"Stay here!"

The two horses passed each other, and Pound suddenly stopped, pulled the reins, and shouted.

"how?"

Pang De planted his horse on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "I admire you. The martial arts of Zhuangshi Gan are indeed extraordinary. I admire you. How about we be a draw this time?"

Gan Ning frowned and thought to himself: It is obvious that you have defeated me and I am convinced, but why do you have to give in to me?

"The superiority of horse fighting is the sword. The inferiority just takes advantage of the weapon. Why bother?" Pang De said sincerely: "If Gan Zhuangshi also holds a horse spear, I will definitely not be Gan Zhuangshi's opponent. How about a draw between you and me this time?" "

Seeing Pang De's sincere face, Gan Ning remained silent, and then burst into laughter.

"Okay, then I, Gan Ning, will accept your love!"

"The general will be delighted to have Zhuangshi Gan join us." Pang De smiled and rode forward: "But I don't know how Zhuangshi Gan came to my territory in Nanyang?"

Gan Ning frowned: "It's a long story, but in short, Gan used to serve under the old thief Huang Zu of Jiangxia, but he was squeezed out for his meritorious service, so Gan left Jiangxia in anger."

But Pang De laughed: "Then the chance for warrior Gan to take revenge is now."

"Oh?" Gan Ning asked curiously.

"The old thief Liu Biao sent Cai Hao to the north and is now besieging Wancheng." Pang De explained: "The Jingzhou navy is one body. Now the general has no plans for a southern expedition. However, if Cai Hao is defeated, he can also help Brother Gan. A bad breath."

"Excellent!" Gan Ning said coldly: "In that case, let Cai Hao, an old thief, taste the power of my Jinfan thief first."

Pang De smiled and said: "Brother Gan, from today onwards I am treated as a member of the imperial army, but I have to change my mind."

Gan Ning realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly smiled and said: "That's exactly the truth."

However, Gan Ning suddenly thought of something and said: "How many troops and horses did Cai Hao bring with him when he sent his troops to the north this time? How many battleships, turrets, and sterns did the fleet have?"

Gan Ning is proficient in water warfare. Although he is brave, he is not foolhardy. It is difficult to win a water war with a small number. If Cai Mao's navy has many warships, even Gan Ning will have to stay away.

Back then, Gan Ning was living happily in Ba County, so why did he choose to go to Huang Zu and feel cowardly? On the one hand, it was because Gan Ning was ambitious and wanted to make great achievements, and on the other hand, because Liu Yan sent troops to expel him, Gan Ning had no choice but to leave Bajun.

"Cai Mao sent troops this time, with one battleship, more than ten stern battleships, and hundreds of gangs." Pound replied.

"This is not easy to deal with."

Gan Ning was suddenly in a dilemma. There were only two stern boats and a dozen or so boats in the Jinfan Navy. Not to mention the Jiangxia Navy and the Xiangyang Navy, the strength of this partial division led by Cai Mao alone was That is more than ten times that of Jinfan Navy.

"Haha, of course I won't let Brother Gan go head-to-head with Cai Mao." Pang De explained with a smile: "Back then, Pang followed the general to fight against Han Sui's tens of thousands of rebels, and he also outsmarted him."

"The defenses of Wancheng are strong and cannot be captured within ten months." Pang De said confidently: "However, the Jingzhou Navy stores grain and grass in Yuyang City. Cai Mao will definitely continue to ask Yuyang City to transport grain and grass, and Brother Gan only needs Stationed on the Han River and constantly intercepting grain and grass, wouldn't Cai Mao's army collapse without a fight?"

Gan Ning was overjoyed: "General Pang's plan is very clever. When Cai Mao's army is out of food and retreats along the way, our army will follow and pursue him, and we will definitely win a complete victory!"

"Haha, how can I be so polite when we have a relationship with Brother Gan?" Pang De said sternly: "If Brother Gan doesn't mind, just call me Biao Lingming."

"Okay, brother Ling Ming. In that case, you can also call a certain cousin Xingba."

"Haha, okay, Xingba!"

Snapped! The two big hands clasped together vigorously, and then a burst of hearty laughter broke out.

At this time, Wancheng was still engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

The cry of killing is like a god striking the yellow bell, and the sound echoes between heaven and earth. Arrows fell like rain from the battleships of the Jingzhou Army, suppressing the Nanyang Army above the city. As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, the infantry of the Jingzhou Army immediately climbed up the ladder and launched a fierce attack on Wancheng. .

However, the Nanyang defenders were also experienced and unwilling to lag behind. As soon as they heard that the Jingzhou army's arrow rain had stopped, they immediately stepped forward from behind the parapet, waved their weapons, and started a bloody battle with the Jingzhou army that rushed to the city.

Once the Jingzhou Army was repelled by the Nanyang Army, the naval fleet immediately fired arrows. After forcing the Nanyang Army back, the Jingzhou Army continued to attack. However, there were a large number of sergeants in Nanyang City, and Zhang Zha and Li Yan were in command on the battlefield, so they repelled the Jingzhou Army's attacks time and time again.

As the sun slowly set, the Jingzhou Army's raging offensive had to temporarily stop. After hearing the sound of gold, the Jingzhou Army on the city top breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly retreated like a tide.

Normally, Cai Mao would have scolded Wenpin, but today Cai Mao was not in such a mood.

"Hasn't the food and grass arrived yet?"

Cai Hao put his hands behind his back and said with a displeased look on his face: "From Yuyang City to Wancheng, the navy arrived in one day. Why haven't the grain and grass been delivered until now?"

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Now the Jingzhou navy is besieging Wancheng, with more than 30,000 troops. If they lack food and grass, won't they face collapse?

"Don't worry, Governor Cai." Zhang Yun said hurriedly: "I have sent soldiers to urge you. Maybe the grain transport fleet is already on the way. Governor Cai should wait a little longer."

"Hmph!" Cai Mao said with a stern face: "When these grain transport ships arrive, I will order the leader to be whipped thirty times as a warning to others."

"Yes, yes, it should be so. Delaying the military situation should naturally be severely punished!" Zhang Yun nodded in agreement.

"Director Cai, Governor Cai!"

"Why are you panicking?" Cai Mao said dissatisfied.

"Food and grass were robbed!"
