Gan Ning and Ji Ling put on armor and hid in the darkness with weapons in hand, their eyes fixed on the gate of the North City.
According to Gan Ning's speculation, the real Li Jue will sneak out of the city soon.
After anxious waiting, finally, the south door slowly opened.
Then, a group of people and horses quietly came out from the north city gate and fled towards the west. The horses' hooves seemed to be wrapped in cloth and the sound was very soft.
After seeing this group of people coming out, Ji Ling looked at Gan Ning with admiration: "General Gan is really a master of clever calculations!"
Seeing that his prophecy came true, Gan Ning also laughed happily and said modestly: "Compared with your lord's strategizing, I am still far behind."
Ji Ling nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xiuren definitely defeated Cao Cao who came to attack Nanyang in Wancheng. His ability to strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away impressed Ji Ling and others.
A total of seven to eight hundred people came out. After they all came out and the city gate was closed, Gan Ning's eyes lit up: "Now!"
He and Ji Ling quickly jumped on their horses, raised their swords and shouted: "Kill!"
Before they finished speaking, Gan Ning and Ji Ling rushed to chase the seven or eight hundred people who came out of the south gate. The rumble of horse hooves shook the ground.
Gan Ning and Ji Ling led five thousand cavalry to fight hard.
The people who came out of the north gate heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, whipped their horses even more desperately, and accelerated to the west.
Seeing that the other party was getting more and more desperate to escape, Gan Ning and Ji Ling became more confident in chasing. Although they couldn't see the face of the person in front of them clearly, they were already 80% sure that the person in front was Li Jue.
Looking at the people running for their lives in front of them, Gan Ning and Ji Ling saw not a human being, but a living and moving fighting force, a fleeing fighting force.
Seeing that the opponent was desperate to run for his life, Gan Ning took off the bow and arrow from the saddle, quickly drew the bow and pointed the arrow at the horse under the black-robed man's crotch, and suddenly released the bowstring.
The anus of the war horse was shot by a sharp arrow, and the severe pain made it tremble violently. After a scream, it fell to the ground. The man in black robe was also thrown out, making a close contact with the ground.
"Old Li Jue, let's see where you are running away?!" Gan Ning laughed loudly and rode up, with Ji Ling following closely behind.
But what surprised Gan Ning and Ji Ling was that the others ignored this man at all and ran for their own lives.
Suddenly, Gan Ning suddenly felt something bad. He hurriedly dismounted and pulled off the black clothes of the man in black, only to find that the man was not Li Jue.
In an instant, a chill crawled from the tailbone down the back to the scalp.
Ji Ling's mouth opened wide and his eyes widened, and the hand holding the big knife couldn't help but tremble.
Gan Ning muttered to himself desperately: "It's over! I've fallen into a trap!"
He couldn't understand how Li Jue could have such high skills and actually arrange a trick to lure him into the trap.
…
At this time, Li Jue had gathered all the troops in the city, a total of 13,000 people. After Gan Ning and Ji Ling left happily, Li Jue raised a cold smile on his lips, and his hunting time had come.
The south gate is wide open.
Li Jue led more than 10,000 people, like a fish into the sea, and rushed into the Feihu Military Camp and the Shenniu Military Camp; how could the two completely unprepared military camps withstand the momentum of 10,000 war horses? ?
Li Jue led his army into the camp, slashed left and right, and turned the people killed by the two major military camps on their backs. The two major military camps were unable to resist the cavalry front, and fled in complete rout.
Fortunately, the 5,000 cavalry led by Gan Ning and Ji Ling had not yet been dealt with. He did not have time to clean up these defeated troops and could not expand the results of the battle. After killing Zhang Xiu's infantry, Li Jue immediately turned his horse's head and headed west. Kill.
By this time, Gan Ning and Ji Ling had reacted and led five thousand cavalry to fight back.
The two sides met ten miles west of Chiyang City.
Ten miles away, Gan Ning and Ji Ling were desperate to know what happened outside Chiyang City. It was as if a cold knife had been inserted into their hearts, and the regret and self-blame in their chests made them miserable.
Facing the cavalry that Li Jue had killed, the pain in their chests seemed to have found an outlet. A roar from their chests made the two men look ferocious and their faces turned red. They held weapons in hand and lowered their bodies. Their eyes were almost on fire. Lock on the charging Li Jue.
The five thousand cavalry behind them also felt the anger of the general, and they also roared and raised their swords high, charging towards the opposite side.
The wolf-like eyes made Li Jue feel frightened, but there were only 5,000 people on the opposite side, and there were more than 10,000 people on his side. He mustered up the courage, lowered his body and charged towards the opposite side.
The ground rumbled, and the intensive sound of horse hooves stirred people's hearts like war drums. Everyone felt that their blood was rising, and the fighting spirit in their chests could only be vented by shouting to their heart's content.
The sound of horse hooves was mixed with roars and shouts, and the battle lines between the two sides quickly drew closer.
A hundred steps!
Fifty!
Ten steps!
The cavalry on both sides can feel the sharp wind brought by the charging opponent.
Facing Li Jue head-on, Gan Ning shouted: "Old Li Jue, take your life——!" He twisted his wrist and made the long knife dance, and slashed towards Li Jue's head with a fierce blow. As it passed by, an afterimage appeared.
Li Jue was so frightened that he could only see the light but not the blade. He even forgot to resist for a moment.
Just when Gan Ning's blade hit Li Jue's neck, a war horse suddenly rushed from behind and hit Li Jue's horse. Li Jue's body jumped forward under the huge impact and luckily avoided it. This fatal knife.
The intersection only lasts for a moment.
After one move, the charging horses quickly led the two sides to stagger.
The sword failed, and Gan Ning was furious. He took his vent on the local cavalry who rushed behind him, and slashed and killed them without any effort, leaving a trail of blood behind him.
Similarly, Ji Ling rushed into the local cavalry battle line with a fifty-pound three-pointed knife, killing the opponents who did not dare to get close, and was covered in local blood.
After the wave of hedging ended, Gan Ning and Ji Ling were breathing heavily and were covered in blood, but not a drop was their own.
Gan Ning looked back at Li Jue, who was three miles away, feeling very, very unwilling. Fortunately, he escaped with his life.
Now he has no chance of a second wave of hedging.
The infantry was routed. Now he had to go back and collect the defeated troops. Although he could definitely kill Li Jue if he fought hard here, there was no way to clean up the routed troops. Li Jue was not the only one in Guanzhong, but Li Jue and Guo Si is just the biggest.
Preparing for Li Jue to prevent them from gathering the defeated troops, Gan Ning asked Ji Ling to stop, and he rushed to the south of Chiyang City. The defeated troops of the two military camps all went south, because that was the direction of Chang'an City.
Fortunately, these Nanyang soldiers were completely dispersed. Hu Ji and Su Fei, the generals in charge, had gathered ten miles south of the city and set up camp.
Gan Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his subordinates were not missing.
A total of 30,000 people came from the two military camps. If they died because of him, then Gan Ning would be the biggest sinner in this battle and would not be able to trust Zhang Xiu.
However, he knew that he had now betrayed Zhang Xiu's trust.
When Ji Ling comes back, he will go back to Chang'an to plead guilty.
