Zhao Wei climbed to the top of the city, and his face looked a little ugly.

There were many corpses lying across the city, but most of them were his subordinates. If the people who were shot by crossbows under the city were injured and killed by crossbows, the total number of casualties was nearly 1,000, but the Jingzhou army's corpses were no more than twenty. Including those who were injured and evacuated, it was estimated that there would not be more than a hundred.

The casualties of one to ten are enough to prove that what Gan Ning said is true. They are facing real elites. If the opponent's troops were not too few, there would be no need to double them, and there were enough arrows, he would not be able to break the city even if he paid a greater price today.

If two hundred people have such strong combat power, how can Yiling, which has stationed three thousand people, be defeated?

Chen Mi walked over with a sword in his hand. "General, look."

Zhao Wei frowned at the sword that cut out more than a dozen gaps. "What's wrong?"

"This is a war knife used by Jingzhou military." Chen Mi held the handle of the knife in one hand and the tip of the knife in the other, and broke it hard. The long sword was bent into an arc, but it kept cracking. Chen Mi let go of his hand, and the long sword returned to straightening. "This knife was at least fifty, and maybe even hundreds of exercises."

Even if Zhao Wei is a scholar and is not very good at using weapons, he is stunned. The more times the sword is, the better the toughness is, but the greater the manpower and material resources are consumed. The normal standard sword is at most thirty, and the fifty sword can only be used by generals. The hundreds of swords are even more precious swords. They are of high value and cannot be used by ordinary soldiers.

"Is it all like this? Could it be someone's private knife?"

"No, I've checked it. Jingzhou's military uses all such swords, without exception. The iron sheets on their armor are thinner than ours, but they are more tougher." Chen Mi asked his subordinates to take a piece of armor, and tried to cut it with the knife twice, comparing the armor of the Yizhou army, and the gap was indeed obvious.

"I didn't expect the Jingzhou Army's armour to be so good." Zhao Wei stroked his beard, and his originally unstable mind became even more shaky. If the Jingzhou Army in Yiling was the same, it would be impossible for him to conquer Yiling. It would be easy to go down the river, but it would be difficult to go up the river, and it would be a big defeat at that time.

But it would not work like this. He mobilized nearly 20,000 people, but only fought with 200 people, took one Wu County and left. How could he explain to Liu Yan how to prove that he has the ability to use troops and whether he would be compared with Jia Long?

Zhao Wei thought a lot, and finally decided to wait and see for a while before talking. He coughed twice seriously. "Zhongguang, inform Gan Xingba, let him guard Zigui and not let these remaining soldiers escape, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Liu Envoy. Zhongguang, you don't know how much criticism I have suffered in order to keep him in the army. I originally hoped that he could reform himself, make some contributions, and wash away this infamous reputation. Unexpectedly, he only knew that Jinfan was swaying, but even this small Wu County could not be conquered. How do you say, how can I explain this to the envoy?"

Chen Mi disagreed, but he couldn't refute Zhao Wei in person. Zhao Wei was born into a large clan in Yizhou and was trusted by Liu Yan. His influence was far stronger than that of these martial artists, not to mention that Gan Ning was still a thief in Jiang, and now he has been defeated and cannot clear himself.

"Thank you, General, I will tell Xingba your good intentions."

Zhao Wei nodded and turned around and left. "Zhongguang, put away all the swords and armor, and I want to report my merits to the envoy."

Chen Mi gritted her teeth and responded. When siege, Zhao Wei hid far away, and no one of his confidants came. Now that he has divided the spoils, he has to take over these top-class weapons. However, under the eaves, he has to bow his head, not to mention that he is sure to take over these weapons. In order to help Gan Ning clear his charges, these weapons can only be eaten by Zhao Wei.

——

"That's what he said?" Gan Ning glanced at Chen Mi with murderous aura in his eyes.

"Xingba, please bear with it for a while and don't fight with him. Finding a way to catch those defeated soldiers can also make up for some losses. In my opinion, although the Jingzhou Army is well-trained, it is impossible for them to be all such elites. If you can catch some and use them, it is also good."

Gan Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Zhongguang, how can those people be caught so easily when they enter the mountain? For example, once I escape into the world, who can catch me? If I don't make this fortune, whoever wants to make a fortune will go."

Chen Mi scratched his head and felt that Gan Ning was right. Gan Ning was not the best military in the Yizhou army, but in terms of experience in fighting and robbing families, he was not better than him. The Jingzhou army had outstanding combat power and cooperated with tacit understanding. If he really wanted to hide in the mountains, thousands of people might not be able to catch them. Gan Ning was injured again, and was unable to move, and was even more unsuitable for risk.

But this is the appointment agreed by Zhao Wei. If it is not completed, how can Gan Ning explain it to Zhao Wei?

"Xingba, even so, you can't do nothing. Then you will disobey the military order and despise Shangguan. Can you still stay in Yizhou?"

"His mother's." Gan Ning was so angry that she slapped the table. The bell on the knife ring trembled and made a quick and crisp sound. "There are no good people in these famous people. Don't be too impatient. I'm too impatient. I'll end it all. At worst, I'll go to Sun Ce. He is a warrior and doesn't deal with a noble family. I will definitely not look down on me."

Gan Ning became more angry the more he thought about it, rubbing his hands. "Zhongguang, in my opinion, people like Liu Yan and Zhao Wei are not good. To do big things, they need a young hero like Sun Ce. I have had enough of this bird's energy, so why not just go to Sun Ce."

Chen Mi was startled and quickly stopped him. "Xingba, don't talk nonsense. Your family is all in Yizhou. You go to Sun Ce now. What should you do if your family members do? You don't know Liu Yan's methods. He can't catch you, can't catch your family?"

Gan Ning was so upset that he clenched his fists in annoyance, his joints slammed, and his fierce eyes were rolling around. He was silent for a while and said, "I must not catch people. I have to send someone to Nanyang to buy a few items to give him. Since I want to buy them, it is better to buy more and keep them for your own use. Zhongguang, what do you think? Are you interested in partnership?"

Chen Mi was also very moved. When he saw those weapons, he felt itchy. He was very dissatisfied with Zhao Wei eating alone, but he dared not speak out. Now that he heard Gan Ning say he was going to Nanyang to buy, he also wanted to get a few pieces of equipment for personal guards. However, he was a little worried that those weapons were of such good quality and the price was definitely not low. Can they afford it?

After hearing Chen Mi's concern, Gan Ning sneered: "Zhongguang, it's not that I said you, your brain is the same as those people, too dead. Don't you think about it. No matter how rich Sun Ce is, he can still equip all tens of thousands of troops with expensive treasure swords? He can do this, which means that these things are not expensive, but that Nanyang Energy can do it, and others can't do it. What I worry about is not the price, but that he refuses to sell it. If it were anyone, such a powerful weapon could not be sold casually."

Chen Mi nodded repeatedly. "What are you going to do?"

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows. "If you can't buy it, then rob it. Do you think I, a Jinfan thief, will show off my wealth? Zhongguang, when you go back, you said to Zhao Wei, just say that I will go to chase the remaining soldiers in Jingzhou. It may take some time to ask him to allocate some money and food to me first."
