Zhong Hui in history was not only excellent in strategy, but also good in martial arts.

He was tall and tall, and the spear in his hand kept shaking. He clearly felt a cold weapon coming to attack him from behind.

Gan Ning wanted to let this son of the aristocratic family go, but Zhong Hui suddenly turned around and fought with Gan Ning. Although Zhong Hui's martial arts was not as fierce as Gan Ning's, they still couldn't decide the winner after twenty rounds.

However, after twenty rounds, Zhong Hui could no longer withstand Gan Ning's double halberds. However, he did not expect that Zhong Hui would eventually lose to Gan Ning and run away. When he ran away, he even dropped his golden helmet.

Gan Ning looked around on his horse and saw that the battle was still going on.

The heavy cavalry and infantry led by Gan Ning and Su Fei's raiding party attacked from inside and outside, which had plunged 40,000 Yuan's troops into chaos. The infantry that followed later further destroyed Yuan's army's will to resist.

It's just that these Cao troops are not a mob after all. Although they are in a disadvantageous situation, many of them are still resisting tenaciously.

Gan Ning did not want his soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices, so he shouted loudly: "Zhong Hui has escaped, why don't you dismount and surrender?"

He put all his strength into this roar, and the loud voice was like muffled thunder, which actually suppressed the noise of tens of feet around him.

The surrounding Cao troops heard the news and saw Gan Ning cutting down Zhong Hui's flag with a halberd. They were all frightened.

In the eyes of thousands of eyes, the flying flag fell before their eyes. Once the flag fell, the morale of the entire army quickly began to disintegrate.

The timid ones will surrender on the spot, while the bold ones will throw away their ashes and armor and run away in the hope of resisting at all.

The collapse came from far to near, like collapsing dominoes. After a short time, the 40,000 Yuan army collapsed.

From the beginning to the end, this surprise battle lasted for more than half an hour, and ended with the defeat of Cao's army.

In addition to the dead and wounded and the escaped Cao troops, there were more than 10,000 troops who surrendered.

"General, this battle was a blast!"

Su Fei, who rode up to meet him, felt as if he had taken a blood bath, with his whole body covered in red.

Gan Ning praised: "If we can win this battle, brother, you should be the first to win."

Although Gan Ning and Su Fei had a superior-subordinate relationship, Su Fei knew that his abilities were far inferior to Gan Ning's, so after surrendering to the Chu army, Su Fei had always followed Gan Ning's lead.

Therefore, Su Fei did not dare to take the credit, and cupped his hands and said: "If it weren't for my virtuous brother's military skills, how could I have killed so heartily tonight?"

Gan Ning laughed heartily, his whole body filled with joy.

Although he defeated Cao's army and repelled Zhong Hui, Gan Ning was not dazzled by the victory. Although the main camp was destroyed, Wang Zhen's side camp still had thousands of elite troops who could not be underestimated.

In order to prevent Wang Zhen from counterattacking, Gan Ning personally led 2,000 troops to break off the army, and ordered Su Fei to lead a large army of troops and tens of thousands of soldiers to retreat to the south bank of the Wei River.

Cao's army moved to Wang Zhen's camp.

The sudden fire in the direction of the main camp attracted Wang Zhen's attention early on.

At first, Wang Zhen thought that the fire was just an accidental fire, and expected that it would be extinguished in a short time, so he was not too worried.

Only as the fire got bigger and bigger did Wang Zhen gradually realize that there must be another reason for this sudden fire.

So Wang Zhen hurriedly sent scouts to the main camp to find out what the cause was.

The scout's return surprised Wang Zhen:

The enemy troops robbed the camp late at night and burned all the food and grass in the main camp.

Wang Zhen, who was frightened, originally wanted to mobilize all his troops to support him, but he was afraid that this was Gan Ning's plan to attack the east and attack the west. Before he knew the truth, he had to order all his soldiers to wear armor and be on guard at all times.

The fire in the main camp was getting bigger and bigger, and the shouts of killing spread for miles. Even Wang Zhen, who was several miles away, could clearly hear it.

"What's going on in the main camp? Gan Ning is powerful and fierce, but how can he easily break through the camp wall?"

Wang Zhen looked at the fire at the main camp from a distance, feeling suspicious in his heart.

Just when he was puzzled, several men and horses came in a hurry from the direction of the main camp, and the leader was none other than the civil servant.

The arrival of the civil servant made Wang Zhen realize the seriousness of the situation. He hurriedly turned his horse to greet the camp gate, but bumped into the civil servant halfway.

"General Wang, the main camp has been lost. Why don't you quickly mobilize your troops and go to the rescue?" The civil servant who hurried over gasped and shouted.

Wang Zhen frowned and said in shock: "The camp is heavy with antlers, and the number of soldiers and horses is several times that of the enemy. How did the enemy defeat it so easily?"

"I don't know what Gan Ning's trick was. Now Cao Jun's cavalry has rushed into the camp. If you don't send troops to rescue, if the major general makes a mistake, our entire Weinan camp will be breached, and our Sili area will be lost.

Yes, can you shoulder this responsibility?"

The civil servant, who was sweating profusely, shouted harshly and openly threatened Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen heard the harsh words, and a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes. However, thinking that Zhong would be in danger, he did not care about arguing with the civil servants. He hurriedly ordered his troops and horses, left the camp and ran towards the main camp.

Along the way, more and more defeated soldiers fled, but the shouts of killing from the main camp direction gradually became weaker.

When Wang Zhen rushed to the main camp, the east was already white and the sky was getting brighter.

The fire was still burning in the direction of the camp, but there was no sound of killing.

The battle seems to be over.

Directly ahead, Gan Ning's army was waiting in formation, blocking the way of Wang Zhen's army.

Seeing this formation, Wang Zhenjun knew that the camp was lost. Seeing that Gan Ning had known that he would come to support him, he was afraid that he would fall into Gan Ning's plan again, so he had to order his horses to be reined in, not daring to take another half step forward.

"General Wang, the main camp is in front, why did you stop the troops?" The civilian officer came from behind and asked.

Wang Zhen pointed to the military formation in front and said in a deep voice: "The main camp has been lost and the enemy has been prepared for a long time. How can we fight again at this time?"

The civil servant was also so anxious that he fainted. At this time, he calmed down a little and observed the situation of the main camp, and then suddenly woke up.

The civil servant's face was filled with surprise and doubt. He could not figure out how his 40,000 soldiers and horses could be destroyed by Gan Ning overnight. And now that he did not know whether Yuan Tan was alive or dead, the civil servant was even more anxious.

At this moment, a horse came galloping towards him. The man did not carry any weapons and was obviously an envoy.

The horse stopped ten steps away.

"I am Su Fei, the general of the Chu army. I have been ordered by General Gan Ning to deliver this item to General Wang."

After saying that, Su Fei used a strong force and threw the object in his hand out.

The object fell in front of the formation, and the soldiers picked it up and presented it to Wang Zhen.

When Wang Zhen and the civil servant saw that thing, their expressions changed greatly.

That golden thing is Zhong Hui's helmet.

"Could it be that the young general has died in battle?" Wang Zhen couldn't help but asked in surprise.

As he spoke, Su Fei raised his voice and shouted: "General Gan Ning has repelled your Major General Zhong Hui. When he escaped, his helmet even fell into the hands of our army. I advise you to go back. Don't

No more thinking about our Chu army’s confrontation.”

After saying this, Su Fei said nothing more, turned around and rode away.

In a moment, Zhou Cang rushed back to the main formation.

At this time, Gan Ning was holding his two halberds and standing on his horse leisurely, not paying attention to the enemy troops on the opposite side.

Seeing Su Fei's return, Gan Ning said, "Brother, can you give your helmet to the enemy?"

"The helmet has been thrown to the other party, and I also shouted to them what my dear brother told them." Su Fei nodded in understanding.

Wang Zhen was a fierce general from Xiliang with superb martial arts skills. What was even more rare was that he was best at commanding cavalry in battle.

Although Gan Ning had heavy cavalry as the vanguard and infantry as the backing, Gan Ning's army and Su Fei's army lacked the experience and command ability of cavalry.

If Gan Ning and Su Fei's regiment can obtain an excellent cavalry general like Wang Zhen, then Gan Ning and Su Fei's regiment will definitely be able to possess the capability of waterway amphibious warfare. This will be an added advantage for Gan Ning, and he will go north to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony in the future.

can make up for the shortcomings of their army.

After the previous battles, Gan Ning could clearly see that Zhong Hui wanted to take the lead, but due to the obstruction of these veterans from the front, Zhong Hui had always regarded these Xiliang veterans as a thorn in his side. In this battle, Zhong Hui was the first to escape.

This time really provided Gan Ning with an opportunity.

When Wang Zhen heard Su Fei's threatening words, he felt a wave of pain in his heart.

Zhong Huidu has lost the entire Weinan camp, and now only Wang Zhen's partial camp is still in the hands of Cao's army. What Wang Zhen can think of now is how the 40,000 troops were slaughtered inhumanely.

When Wang Zhen was shocked, the equally horrified civil servants were already suspicious and glanced at Wang Zhen with narrowed eyes.

"Send an order to the entire army to retreat to Chang'an immediately."

Wang Zhen issued the order to retreat in a deep voice, and without even returning to the partial camp, he withdrew directly to Chang'an City, which was dozens of miles away.

The civil servant was shocked when he heard this and said anxiously: "The Weinan camp has been lost. If you don't send troops to recapture it, why do you want to withdraw your troops?"

There was no hint of accusation in his words.

Wang Zhen glared at him and said coldly: "Didn't you listen to what Gan Ning said? If we attack again, I think our entire army will be killed."

The civil servant was choked, angry and anxious, but for a moment he didn't know how to fight back.

Wang Zhen ignored him and just turned his horse around and retreated toward the northeast.

Although the civil servants were unwilling, they did not dare to stay here alone, so they had no choice but to retreat northward with Wang Zhen's army.

When daylight broke out, Wang Zhen's army was already more than ten miles away, and the two Cao army camps on the south bank of the Wei River had been emptied.

However, Gan Ning did not relax his vigilance and still stationed his horses on the south bank of the Wei River. It was not until the intelligence brought back by the scouts that Wang Zhen was serious about withdrawing his troops that he led all his troops to land and set up a new camp.

In this battle, 40,000 Yuan troops were defeated and Zhong Hui was defeated. It can be said to be a complete victory.

Gan Ning entered the camp and ordered to take all the wine and meat from the camp of Cao's army, and rewarded the three armies greatly, which made the whole army rejoice.

After a celebration banquet, all the soldiers were drunk.

Su Fei held the wine glass and asked Gan Ning: "Brother Xian, why do you want me to say those words to Wang Zhen?"

Gan Ning smiled and said: "Brother, what unit does our army lack the most now?"

"Of course it is a cavalry. I have always dreamed of having a cavalry that can travel thousands of miles. You are like General Lu, and General Ma Chao is a Xiliang cavalry that can travel across the world."

"Okay, let's build such an invincible cavalry."
