There were no lieutenants on the front of the city, only the fake army Hou Beitangyu and less than 200 soldiers.

Beitangyu was Xu Chu's old subordinate like Pan Hua. He was a good brother with Pan Hua at that time. Later, he went to the martial arts lecture hall to study together. He was slightly inferior to Pan Hua's graduation assessment, so he had to be Pan Hua's deputy in aggrieved manner.

When they saw Gan Ning's Jinfan, the original county soldiers in Wu County were shocked. When they saw Gan Ning leave the boat and walk towards the city, they rolled and crawled one by one, and no one was willing to stay at the city to die. Beitangyu simply asked them all to go down to the city, leaving only his subordinates to defend the city. Wu County is easy to defend difficult times, not to mention that there are only more than a thousand people in Gan Ning, even if they doubled, he would have the confidence to defend Wu County.

According to the tactics of Yin Duan, he did not rush to shoot, but waited for Gan Ning to enter the range of ordinary bows and arrows before shooting with a strong crossbow, which defeated the enemy's spirit. The battle result was very good. Gan Ning lost more than 30 talents to come to the city. Seeing someone dancing with iron claws and preparing to climb the city, Beitangyu immediately made adjustments and asked the archers to suppress the shooting. The strong crossbowman aimed at those with iron claws in his hands for precise sniping, while the others were preparing to take the battle.

The southern wall of Wu County is about three miles long, but Gan Ning and others did not fully spread it out, but were distributed in a loose formation at the city gate, with a distance of only a few feet above and below the city. Not to mention well-trained archers, even if they close their eyes and shoot randomly, they will have the chance to shoot. Sixty crossbowmen shot with all their strength, and immediately knocked down twenty or thirty people.

Within less than a meal, Gan Ning had even hit the city wall, and Gan Ning had damaged more than 50 people and was immediately anxious. He grabbed an iron claw, threw it at the top of the city, and the iron claw fell on the top of the city, and grabbed the battlement. Gan Ning pulled the iron chain with his left hand and held a knife with his right hand, and began to climb upwards. When he saw Gan Ning attacking, other rangers followed suit, and many people took off their iron claws.

While ordering the crossbowman to shoot Gan Ning, Beitangyu waved his knife to cut at the iron claws. Two crisp sounds of "Dangdang" were broken, and the iron chain as thick as a little finger broke in response to the sound. Gan Ning, who was about to climb to the top of the city, lost its support point and landed on the ground. Gan Ning was shocked and rolled on the spot, picked up the hook on the ground to protect him. Several rangers rushed over and protected him with shields. At the same time, they fought back with crossbows and suppressed them in reverse.

Gan Ning took back half of the iron chain, looked at the brand new broken mouth, and was so depressed that he wanted to curse.

The other party not only has archers, but also a treasure knife that cuts iron like mud.

The sound of "Ding Dingdang" on the top of the city was heard one after another, and several other Rangers' chains were cut off. Rangers fell down, some were dizzy, some fell directly, and more people were shot by arrows and seriously injured.

Gan Ning was also injured. Although he had sperm armor and had stronger protection than ordinary soldiers, even the best sperm armor could not be stopped by shooting at such a close range. What's more, Beitang took special care of him and arranged three powerful crossbowmen to deal with him. Without the protection of hook inlay, he was hit by two arrows in a short time. Although he did not hit the vital point, he also penetrated his body and blood flowed.

Through the gaps in the shield, Gan Ning became more and more frightened. There were not many people on the city head, but they were well-organized and busy but not chaotic. The crossbowmen kept shooting with the repulsion of battlements. Their movements were very familiar and they shot quickly and steadily. Gan Ning looked at it for a while and understood that there were no magic archers in the city, and all the casualties were caused by these ordinary crossbowmen, especially those strong crossbowmen.

By looking at their movements, you will know that these crossbowmen are very confident in their shooting skills and can perform so stably on the battlefield.

Gan Ning immediately asked another question. There were indeed treasure swords in the city that were cut like mud, but they were not unique to a general, but almost everyone had a mouthful. The styles of these swords were not novel and were no different from ordinary ring-headed swords, but they were extremely sharp. The iron chains that may not be cut off even if the ordinary ring-headed swords were cut for more than ten times can be cut off in front of these swords at most two or three times.

Could it be that the ordinary soldiers under Zhou Yu's tent are equipped with such weapons? Gan Ning didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the back was filled with cold air.

In a moment, more than 30 people fell from the city, and the offensive was completely suppressed, and no one tried to climb the city. Gan Ning quickly ordered the evacuation of the crossbow range. Standing on the steps and looking at his frightened subordinates, Gan Ning was so angry that he wanted to kick the city wall down and kill into the city. But he knew very well that the defenders at the city were well-trained and well-equipped. If he attacked for a strong force, his losses would be very great.

His subordinates are all Rangers who have followed him for many years, and are his private soldiers. If the loss is too great, Zhao Wei or Liu Yan will not make up for him. He can only recruit newbies to supplement him. Recruiting newbies requires money, as long as he gets spoils. He is not sure how many defenders are in the city. If he suffers major casualties but still fails to take Wu County, he will suffer a huge loss.

However, nearly a hundred casualties were killed or killed, and they didn't even climb up the city. They retreated like this, and the reputation of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning became. Who would take him seriously in the future? Zhao Wei didn't know how to despise him.

Gan Ning rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and waved his hand. "Go to Zigui, take their way out, and find a way to kill them. His mother's mother, if she takes advantage of me, I must kill this thief chief."

——

The blue sky is like washing, and a few white clouds move slowly, leisurely and freely. A row of geese are lined up in herringbone shapes and slowly flew under the white clouds, with elegant postures and clear chirping from time to time.

But Chen Ji was very anxious. He squatted behind the female wall, looking at the camp outside the city, frowned, his face tightened by the cold wind in late autumn, and his eyes were sore and painful, and he always felt that tears would flow like a spring in the next moment.

Outside the city, dozens of stone throwers were neatly arranged on the position, with long poles aiming directly at the blue sky. The craftsmen of the baggage camp were working on the urge. From time to time, a slap filled with soil hit the city wall, making a loud noise. Some passed the city and fell into the city, hitting the soldiers or houses under the city. Each loud noise seemed to hit Chen Ji's heart, tossing his nerves that were about to break.

Further away, thousands of soldiers were practicing. Although they were far apart, they could not see their expressions clearly and could not hear their roars, Chen Ji could still feel strong morale. This was in sharp contrast to the city.

Since Zhou Yu came to the city, Jiangling has become an isolated city, with neither Liu Xun nor Yizhou Army. He sent a lot of messengers to contact Liu Xun, but it won't take long to see the bodies of those messengers appear under the city. After a few days, no one dared to leave the city, and the hope of reinforcements was completely cut off. The morale of the defenders in the city was getting worse day by day, and now the city was dead, and there was no one to speak except the sound of the autumn wind blowing the battle flag.

So he gave up and stopped doing useless things. All he could do was to look at the city head every day, watch Zhou Yu make various preparations for the siege, waiting for the start of the battle. Although Zhou Yu was strong and brave, his troops were limited, with a total of only 20,000 people, and there were nearly 10,000 soldiers in the city. According to the usual ratio of troops, he had enough opportunities to defend Jiangling, as long as he could inspire morale.

He was ready. Jiangling City was scrapped three feet away by him, and all the money was in his hands. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. He was going to use this money to stimulate morale and confront Zhou Yu to see when Zhou Yu can persevere and how much sacrifice he made.

Liu Xun said that Huang Yi had a clever plan to surround Wei and rescue Zhao and attack Wan from three directions. As long as he waited for a month or two, Nanyang would inevitably change. After these two months, they would not have to worry about Sun Ce's revenge.

Glory and wealth are here.
