“I, Gan Xingba, the Jinfan pirate, am here…”

“Everyone, get up for me!!”

A long roar!

The entire camp was shocked!!!

Gan Ning took the lead and charged into the camp. Seeing such a heroic Gan Ning, the hundreds of Jinfan pirates behind him also felt their blood surge.

A cowardly soldier makes a cowardly unit, and a cowardly general makes a cowardly army!

The Jinfan pirates who had followed Gan Ning for many years had long been branded with Gan Ning's unique mark. They did not hesitate to follow Gan Ning away from Ba Commandery, and then sailed the four seas for many years. Obviously, they were not men who cherished their lives and shrank back.

On the contrary, each Jinfan pirate regarded Gan Ning as an idol, imitating almost every word and deed of Gan Ning, naturally learning Gan Ning's habits and style thoroughly.

At Gan Ning's command, the hundred-odd Jinfan pirates who charged into the camp split into three groups, with thirty-odd men each on the left, center, and right.

Before the defending soldiers of the camp could react, they trampled through the camp, constantly overturning the braziers everywhere, creating chaos.

Not a single one of the hundred-odd riders who charged into the camp was afraid. Instead, each of them imitated Gan Ning's appearance, roaring and shouting repeatedly.

“The Jinfan pirates are here, you rats, get up quickly!”

“The Jinfan pirates are here, you rats, get up quickly!”

“The Jinfan pirates are here, you rats, get up quickly!”

Countless allied soldiers who were fast asleep on the east side of the camp were suddenly awakened. The chaotic sound of horses' hooves, the crisp sound of bells, the wild laughter, and the occasional screams and wails constantly entered the ears of every allied soldier.

Originally in the most relaxed state, they were suddenly so frightened.

For the allied soldiers, this was almost like being suddenly transported from their bedroom to a mass grave when they opened their eyes.

Under the inevitability of human nature, confusion, fear, panic, and so on almost enveloped the hearts of every allied soldier.

Especially since the so-called anti-Wu allied army was composed of commandery soldiers from various commanderies, servants and retainers of aristocratic families, and a considerable number of local young men…

By the time Xu Gong rushed out of the central army tent in a panic, the entire east side of the camp was already in chaos, with a large number of soldiers scurrying around like headless flies.

Camp riot!

A term floated into Xu Gong's mind, turning his face almost completely white in an instant.

For an army, a "camp riot" is almost the most terrifying state.

In the dim night, every soldier is in a state of fear and panic, and in order to protect themselves, in addition to blindly running around, they may even instinctively attack friendly troops who approach them.

Xu Gong, who had read many military books, naturally knew this, but he had no idea how to control the "camp riot". His mind was blank for a moment.

Moreover, how many enemies are there?

Where have they advanced to?

Will they soon attack the central army?

Not to mention those ordinary soldiers, the chaotic thoughts that floated in Xu Gong's mind made him want to abandon the army and flee.

Under the cover of darkness, the east side of the camp was ablaze with fire everywhere, with shadows overlapping, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe…

The sound of horses' hooves and bells, which seemed to ring out in different directions at the same time, was like a death warrant hanging over everyone's hearts.

Just at this moment, Zhou Xin, who had also rushed out of the military tent, saw the situation and his face also changed drastically.

However, unlike Xu Gong, a paper-shuffling scion of a famous family, Zhou Xin had studied under Grand Tutor Chen Fan and had also been recruited by the Grand Commandant's office as a staff member. He was by no means an ordinary mediocre talent.

Immediately, Zhou Xin, reacting to the situation, gave an order to his personal guards to quickly beat the drums, and sent trusted aides to the west side of the camp to dispatch his own soldiers to the east side of the camp to suppress the camp riot and resist the foreign enemy.

Although Zhou Xin did not know how the enemy army had managed to break into the camp in this way, even triggering a "camp riot" before the central army could react.

But Zhou Xin was certain of one thing, and that was that the enemy attacking the camp was definitely not numerous!

The road from Liyang to Yangxian was already rugged and difficult to travel, making it difficult for a large army to pass through. Otherwise, the anti-Wu allied army's march would not have been so difficult and slow.

Relatively speaking, it was also difficult for the enemy army to send a large force to approach silently.

Zhou Xin quickly analyzed the situation clearly, understanding that the most important thing at the moment was to suppress the "camp riot", otherwise, once the soldiers on the east side of the camp, who were in a state of "camp riot", collapsed the central army, then the entire army would be finished.

Fortunately, Zhou Xin discovered that only the soldiers on the east side of the camp were in a state of "camp riot", while the west side of the camp was still quite stable.

Moreover, the sound of drums that Zhou Xin had ordered to be beaten instantly overwhelmed the chaotic sounds on the east side of the camp, allowing many soldiers to gradually find their direction and begin to calm down.

Gan Ning, who had charged into the camp and was rampaging through it, naturally could not fail to notice the commotion rising from the central army of the anti-Wu allied army.

“Boss, should we retreat?”

A Jinfan pirate reminded Gan Ning.

Gan Ning looked around and licked his lips, saying, "Don't retreat! Summon the lads and charge the central army!!"

At this moment, Gan Ning's blood was boiling, but his mind was clearer than ever before!

The low quality of the anti-Wu allied army far exceeded Gan Ning's expectations.

Gan Ning had not even imagined that under the dual pressure of the sound of horses' hooves and bells, a "camp riot" could be triggered so easily.

And now Gan Ning knew that the central army of the anti-Wu allied army had already reacted. If he retreated now, it would naturally be unimpeded, but it would also be wasting a great opportunity.

If he could attack the central army and cause some chaos in the central army as well, then the entire "camp riot" might irreversibly spread throughout the entire camp.

Between aggressive and conservative choices, Gan Ning would naturally not hesitate to take a gamble!

If he succeeded, the anti-Wu allied army might disintegrate on the spot, making it difficult to threaten Wu Commandery again. This was undoubtedly a great temptation for Gan Ning.

Immediately, Gan Ning quickly summoned the other two groups of Jinfan pirates who had scattered to create chaos.

After the hundred riders converged, Gan Ning led the Jinfan pirates towards the direction of the drumming almost without hesitation.

“Dong dong dong!”

The mutual approach between the sound of drums, the sound of bells, and the sound of horses' hooves changed the faces of many people in the central army of the anti-Wu allied army.

Seeing this, Zhou Xin also understood Gan Ning's intentions, and understood even more that the central army must not be lost!

Fortunately, at this moment, the other lords and aristocratic families in the central army, even if their reactions were slow, had already reacted at this moment, each gathering their confidants while observing the situation.

Immediately, Zhou Xin shouted repeatedly.

“Quick, the number of enemy troops must not be large, do not retreat, block the enemy, defend the central army!”

Almost as soon as Zhou Xin's voice fell, Gan Ning, riding a tall horse, charged out of the difficult-to-see night like the wind.

“I, Gan Xingba, the Jinfan pirate, am here, who dares to stop me!”

Gan Ning roared, his eyes sweeping across the large number of soldiers who had already begun to gather in the central army. He had no intention of retreating, but instead threw a short spear he had seized fiercely towards the direction of the drum!

Unlike other fierce generals, Gan Ning, because he was most skilled in naval warfare and foot combat, had the habit of using weapons according to the situation. He would use whatever he encountered, making him a master of weapons.

And this time, the spears, lances, and halberds that Gan Ning used in the camp raid were all directly seized from the allied soldiers.

The short spear fell, using the inertia of the warhorse's charge, accurately piercing through the war drum across a distance of fifty or sixty paces, causing the drum sound that had been constantly stabilizing the morale to stop abruptly.

At this moment, Zhou Ang, who had just led his troops to Gan Ning's front, saw this, and looked at Gan Ning, who had directly thrown out his weapon to destroy the war drum and was now empty-handed. He was furious and shouted.

“Arrogant!!”

Immediately, Zhou Ang thrust his spear in his hand straight at Gan Ning's throat, who was empty-handed.

Unlike his elder brother Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang was good at bravery but not at wisdom. For many years, he had visited famous families in the Central Plains to learn martial arts, claiming to be one of the few generals in the world. How could he tolerate Gan Ning, this little bandit, being presumptuous in front of him?

However, under the cover of the dim night, Zhou Ang completely failed to notice the iron chain, as thick as two fingers, hanging from Gan Ning's waist.

As someone who liked to seize other people's weapons on the battlefield, Gan Ning would naturally not block the attack barehanded, which would be tantamount to courting death.

Facing the rapidly approaching spear, Gan Ning dodged to the side, dodging Zhou Ang's attack with an unusually nimble posture.

And in the instant when the two warhorses passed each other, Gan Ning grabbed the iron chain and swung it skillfully at the spear in front of him.

Immediately, the iron chain coiled around the spear like a black snake coiling around a pillar, and Gan Ning took advantage of the situation to pull it violently.

Under the opposite inertia brought by the two warhorses passing each other, the unprepared Zhou Ang only felt a great force surge, and the spear in his hand flew out.

“What?!”

Zhou Ang looked down at his empty hands in shock, unable to react for a moment as to where the spear had gone.

However, while Zhou Ang was somewhat dazed by this sudden change, Gan Ning did not hesitate in the slightest.

After Gan Ning used the iron chain to disarm the spear, he turned around, his entire back completely pressed against the horse's back, and the spear he had seized drew a crescent arc straight towards Zhou Ang's back.

A returning spear!

A spark flashed between the spearhead and the armor Zhou Ang was wearing, but it was like a layer of useless film, unable to block the spear's stab at all.

Pfft!

The spearhead pierced deep into Zhou Ang's chest, making a muffled sound.

The warhorse under Gan Ning's crotch continued forward, and without Gan Ning even exerting any force, it pulled out the spearhead that had pierced through Zhou Ang's chest, splattering a large amount of blood.
