Chapter 62 Impulsive Punishment

"Gan Ning, climb out of the city and fight with your grandpa Ling for a hundred rounds!" Under the city of Cangwu, Ling Tong shouted and cursed wildly, and his rude words could not be heard. Behind him, the 10,000 Jiaozhou army also pretended to be a tiger's power, and the other three of them drank four times to show off their power.

"Ling Tong, your father is already a headless ghost, and now you are coming to die again?" The gate of Cangwu City was opened with a "crunch", and Gan Ning led thousands of elite soldiers out. To be honest, Gan Ning really didn't expect that Ling Tong would take the initiative to attack Cangwu. It should be noted that there are more than 20,000 people in Cangwu, and the South China Sea adds up to only 10,000 people. Now Ling Tong, who has fewer troops, actually took the initiative to attack, which also surprised Gan Ning. However, he did not know that Ling Unification wanted to recapture the four counties, and the other wanted to avenge his father. Driven by the two, he naturally couldn't help taking the initiative to send troops. He only asked the fighting general to defeat Gan Ning first, and then he could recover the four counties with all his energy. For Ling Tong's calculation, it can only be said that the idea is really good.

"Ganning dog thief, take your life!" When Ling Tong saw Gan Ning's appearance, he didn't want to say anything more. He directly scolded again and immediately stepped forward to fight with him. Naturally, Gan Ning was not afraid of him. He picked up the Hengjiang ghost-headed knife in his hand and formed a group of battles.

"Hey!" Gan Ning dodged and dodged Ling Tong as a shot in the chest. While the other party was about to shrink, his left hand stretched out a gun to grab him, and the ghost knife in his right hand cut down directly along the gun. Ling Tong knew that if he didn't let go of the weapon, it would be the end of a broken ten fingers. However, once the weapon is lost, he will undoubtedly be defeated. At present, it is also a dangerous move. The left hand lifts the barrel of the gun hard, but the right hand pulls out the waist knife and cuts Gan Ning to grab the left hand of the barrel. Gan Ning's ghost head knife was changed from straight to upper. In this way, he raised his arm straight, and before he could cut Ling Tong's right hand, he was about to be cut into his left hand by his waist knife. Gan Ning saw the opportunity very fast. He directly let go of Ling Tong's gun and waved the knife to block his knife.

In the first round of the match, Huo Jun on the tower was already shocked. If Ling Tong lifts it a little slower, nine times out of ten, his fingers are already broken; if Gan Ning raises it a little slower, his arm will not be guaranteed. At this time, Gan Ning knew that today's opponent was probably on the same footing as himself.

When he met an opponent with a considerable flag, Gan Ning's fighting spirit was also burning. The ghost knife attacked Ling Tong like a breakthrough. Although Ling Tong is eager to take revenge, he also knows that today's opponent's martial arts are never under his own. If he is not careful, he will die. At present, he is also passing the long gun to take the move and prepare for a protracted battle.

The protracted battle between the two sides immediately opened the eyes of the soldiers of the two armies watching the battle. Gan Ning's ghost-headed knife is not more than half a foot long, or it can be used with one or both hands. The move is divine, but it also moves straight to the point. It is really as strange as the nine dragons; Ling Tong's shooting is open and close, dignified, and every move is clear, but it is often to attack the enemy to save. The two of them are equal, and it is difficult to win or lose for a while.

"This boy has made great progress in martial arts!" Fighting for Ling Tong's shot, Gan Ning was also secretly stunned. Four years ago, in the battle of Huiji, Ling Tong was defeated by Zhao Feng in less than 20 rounds. Now he has fought with him for more than 50 rounds, but he still has not prevailed. It seems that Ling Tong has practiced hard for four years.

Gan Ning expected that although Ling Tong has been in the southern wilderness for four years, he has never forgotten to avenge his father, and he has never stopped practicing his martial arts. Now he is far above Ding Feng and Lv Meng in terms of martial arts. Just because his surname is impatient, he is not a general. It was not particularly appropriate to send him to guard the South China Sea this time, but Sun Quan was really not available, so he had to be sent here. If Sun Quan knew that Ling Tong acted without authorization and brought people to Cangwu to find Gan Ning to fight alone, he would probably vomit blood again.

The two of them have been fighting for hundreds of rounds, but there is still no winner. Huo Jun in the city saw that the sky was going to be late, and now Ming Jin collected his troops. General Gan, this man is good at martial arts!" Huo Jun looked at Gan Ning's breathlessness and asked in surprise.

"Exactly, but this man is so impatient that he doesn't even care about the South China Sea for revenge. General Huo, I think he brought more than 10,000 people today, and the defense of the South China Sea will not exceed two or three thousand at most. Why don't you send someone to tell General Ji Ling of Luling overnight and let him send troops to copy the boy's back road?" Gan Ning suddenly said.

"A wonderful plan, a wonderful plan!" Huo Jun immediately praised it when he heard it. Now he wrote a letter and sent someone to tell Ji Ling quickly. Gan Ning was ready to continue to fight with Ling Tong in the next few days and drag him here.

After a few days, Ling Tong would come to scold every day to take revenge on Gan Ning. Gan Ning is also very straightforward. As long as you call, I will come out to fight and promise to be on call. After three days, Ling Tong gradually found that something was wrong. But seeing that the enemy who killed his father was close at hand, Ling Tong did not want to leave anyway. At this time, Ji Ling of Luling had led 20,000 Jingzhou troops to kill the South China Sea and attacked Fanyu City, where the Nanhai County was located.

There are still more than 2,000 defenders in the South China Sea, and the city walls are still dangerous. However, in the face of the enemy army that is ten times more than itself, such a defense is not solid after all. In addition, when the Jiaozhou army broke the city, it had been robbed, and Gong Zhi, the former governor of the South China Sea, was detonated in the wilderness, so the people were not interested in it. Ji Ling led the army to attack a few times, and the people in the city spontaneously rioted to respond to the Jingzhou army. There was no general in the Jiaozhou army who could control the field. As a result, the city was broken after a long time. More than 2,000 defenders, except those who were killed in battle and those who surrendered and were captured, and finally took advantage of the chaos to escape, but only a dozen people.

When more than a dozen people fled to Cangwu City to report to Ling Tong, the young general, who was still overwhelmed by anger, had been competing with Gan Ning for ten days. Hearing the news of the fall of the South China Sea, Ling Tong was poured down by a basin of cold water in the cold winter, and he felt a trace of chill.

"That is to say, the county of Nanhai has been lost now?" Looking at the kneeling soldiers in front of him, after a long silence, Ling Tong asked astringently, and his voice was hoarse and harsh.

"Yes." The two replied with their heads down. Everyone was silent that the loss of the South China Sea was equivalent to the fact that their road from the land to Jiangdong had been cut off, and their 10,000 horse had been completely isolated.

Ling Tong gradually understood that these days, Gan Ning took the trouble to fight with him every day, and he also put on a defensive posture. It was not because he was so strong in martial arts that he could not fight back. I'm afraid it was more because he wanted to trap himself here so that Ji Ling could take the South China Sea. It's only now that I realize that it's too late. I've blinded my mind because of hatred, and the price I paid is really too heavy.

"General, what can I do?" The generals under his command were at a loss when they heard the news of the fall of the South China Sea. Ling Tong looked up at the crowd, but he saw that there were those who were confused, those who were firm, and even some people's eyes flashed, and they were probably considering the issue of surrender. Ling Tong knew that the surplus grain in the army was only enough to support for more than half a month. If you get stuck here, not to mention Gan Ning and others to attack, you will be starved to death.

"You can't be trapped here!" After making up his mind, Ling Tong also decisively gave up the opportunity to revenge and turned to the crowd and said, "Send my order to go south to the nearest port with all my strength. Take a boat to Zhuya County to save your strength. If you really can't do it, go to Yizhou again!"

The generals under Ling Tong's command heard this, but they couldn't help but be relieved. Finally, their general has not completely broken out the small universe. He chose to fight to the death with the Jingzhou Army, otherwise he would have completely stopped. Although it's not good to run away from Zhuya County and Yizhou, it's better than to get a surname.

"General, but I'm afraid there are not enough ships in our nearest port for the army to cross the sea to Zhuya County!" A staff member said cautiously. Although Zhuya County is not too far from the mainland, 10,000 troops want to cross it. This transportation volume is indeed not small in the era of the Three Kingdoms.

"Leave hundreds of weak soldiers, camped to confuse the enemy, and then the army took advantage of the night to move forward at full speed!" Ling Tong said in a low voice. This is a typical loss of the commander-in-chief. If you don't run away before the enemy has fully occupied Jiaozhou, and wait for Ji Ling and Zhang Nan to surround them, Ling Tong will really be unable to eat and walk away. At present, the generals listened to him and retreated overnight after bluffing. That night, Gan Ning and Huo Jun got the news from Ji Ling. They sent people to Lingtong's Dazhai to have a look, but found that there were only hundreds of old, weak and disabled soldiers who were regarded as abandoned children. Ling Tongye had led most of them to escape.

"Ling Tong can't go to the east, west and north now. He can only go to the south to the sea to Zhuya County. Today, there are still a lot of people in Dazhai during the day. I think he left after night. It should not have been long since he left, at most two hours. In addition, it takes time for him to find a boat and go to sea. If we catch up, we should be able to catch up!" Gan Ning smelled the fighter keenly.

"It's so good. We should take this opportunity to annihilate it in one fell swoop to eliminate future trouble!" Huo Jun also agreed with him. At present, the two of them rectified 20,000 horses to chase Ling Tong.

It turned out that Gan Ning's judgment was not wrong, at least not completely wrong. After chasing for about a day, Gan Ning's pursuers finally caught up with Ling Tong in a small fishing boat by the sea. At this time, Ling Tong was using all the ships he had caught in the net to escort his soldiers to Zhuya County as much as possible. Seeing that Gan Ning led three times as many pursuers as himself, Ling Tong did not dare to fight hard, but chose to squeeze into the narrow fishing boat with the first batch of about 2,000 soldiers and drive to Zhuya County. The remaining seven or eight thousand soldiers were once again forced to become abandoned children. They, who were completely abandoned by Ling Tong, had no choice but to surrender one after another.

"Damn it, let this boy run away!" Standing by the sea and looking at the boat that was getting farther and farther away, Gan Ning waved the ghost knife in his hand with hatred and said reluctantly. Huo Jun, who chased with him, was more open-thinking. At the moment, he opened his mouth and comforted, "It's already very good to be able to keep nearly 8,000 people behind. Even if he escapes to Zhuya County, what can he do with thousands of people? At most, you can only hide for a while. When the Jingxiang sailors were familiar with the water situation here, General Gan could naturally lead a large army to kill the island and eradicate it. Maybe if this boy is unlucky, he will feed the shark directly!"

"That's right!" After listening to Huo Jun's explanation, Gan Ning also wanted to open up a lot. As soon as the two returned to Cangwu, Gan Ning ordered Jingxiang sailors to go into the offshore to familiarize themselves with the water situation and prepare for the subsequent attack on Zhuya County. At the same time, they sent Sun Jing and his son to escort them to Shouchun and handed them over to Liu Beifa, and reported the military situation here to Liu Bei and Zhao Feng in Jiangdong.

"Gan Xingba has calmed down the six counties of Jiaozhou, captured Sun Jing and his son alive, and led thousands of remnants to flee to Zhuya County?" When he saw this war report, Zhao Feng was also shocked.
