Chapter 91: Fighting a war and hairstyle can't be messed up
With the defeat of Zhang Lujun's army every time, the hearts of the people in the army became more and more panicked.
Those scribes and small schools who were originally coerced or had hardships will inevitably be even more shaken. Whenever they encounter difficulties, they continue to spread rumors.
On this day it was another day to raise rations for the battalions.
In the county government of Danqu County, several officials took advantage of the leisure time after sending away a wave of officers who received grain, and secretly complained:
"That Gan Ning, it's really a thief's temper. Our army is so struggling, military supplies are so tight, he also uses Shu brocade as a cable to tie his ship, and he also wants wine and meat to serve, Shijun is too, there are only three counties left, what kind of hard support, this military supply really can't be raised. ”
"Alas, isn't it, but you must not complain in front of outsiders about your words, who let that Gan Ning fight, Shijun can get his help, I heard that it is still for the sake of Liu Yuanjun's face. This Gan Ning hates others for speaking ill of him and looking down on him.
Have you heard of it? At the beginning, the Bajun Taishou of the imperial court, after using him to kill political enemies, actually despised Gan Ning behind his back and regarded Gan Ning as a tool, and he knew about it, so he killed the employer who hired the murderer! This kind of murderer will not be provoked! Eh, isn't that Gan Ning needed to lead the army, don't talk about it. ”
Gan Ning is still very sensitive in this regard because of his bad background, just like an inferior student in mixed society, who always has the same intuition as a hound when others go to the teacher to make a small report.
Looking at the insincere flattering smile of the planner when he went through the formalities, Gan Ning snorted coldly in his heart, and scolded coldly: "What were you talking about just now?" ”
The official was shocked, and hurriedly smiled more and more humbly: "It's nothing...... When we saw the general just now, we weren't sighing, if General Gan was here the day before yesterday, how could Zhang Fei cut off the back road of Yan's army and cause a fiasco. There is really no shortage of generals everywhere. ”
On the one hand, this is to praise Gan Ning, and on the other hand, he secretly complains that Gan Ning did not arrive in time, which is very in line with their people, so Gan Ning also believed it, and at the same time he couldn't have a seizure, but he just refuted it awkwardly:
"The matter of the military formation! You know what! If it weren't for Guan Yu's surprise attack on Mengtou Village and Dangshi Village on the southern front four days ago, I would have had to rush to repel Guan Yu? Even if I am the best in the world in water warfare, I can't do anything, how can I take care of the 300 miles of rivers in the north and south? Who let Zhang Lu have no other available generals to guard separately? What's more, I'm not the best in the world of water warfare.
But don't worry! I have already asked from the captive, Liu Bei's generals, Guan Yu is the strongest in water warfare, as for Zhang Fei, he doesn't know anything about water warfare at all, that day was completely taking advantage of me on the southern front, and he bullied Hanchang no one! If he dares to come again in the future, I will tell him to feed the fish!" ”
As soon as he said this, the guy who complained about him had to stop.
Gan Ning snorted coldly in his heart, he also knew that everyone had a lot of complaints about his extravagance, but what do these shameless people know?
The eldest husband should leave a name in history, and he will go in vain in the world!
Although he Gan Xingba didn't read much, he still heard a lot of stories about the ancients and sages. The sub-road of the seventy-two sages of Confucius is the warrior and heroic man that Gan Ning admires.
That sub-road is "the death of a gentleman, the crown is inevitable", when he was an official in the defense of the country, he was besieged and killed by the civil strife of the country, and was shot down by the enemy when he was dying, and he had to pick it up and wear it, and was cut into a body in the process of wearing a hat.
That's what grace is called! You can't drop your hat if you die in battle, and you can't mess with your hairstyle!
How can you be ashamed of mixing on the road!
It's just that those who don't understand the little officials don't understand, and they don't have the slightest awareness of "the more you die, the more you have to have a sense of ritual in life, and the more handsome your clothes are".
I really can't talk about it.
Thinking of the depression, Gan Ning took out a piece of jade ring and rubbed it a few times: "Alas, Ah Xi, you should remarry in the future, the money I left you is enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime, and we are not sorry." When Ah Gui grows up, he will know that his father has never been ashamed in his life. ”
He is already twenty-one years old, he is really old and can't help himself, if it is like before the age of nineteen, how good would it be if he wandered the rivers and lakes without any worries?
But a concubine he played casually accidentally had an accident, leaving him a two-year-old son, he had to think about going ashore slowly in the past two years, doing things for the government, and as a result, he couldn't stand being used as a tool, and several bad things happened to this day.
If Gan Ning's is really watery, it is completely possible to produce a series of Hong Kong film black bosses who want to wash their hands after having a wife and son.
……
Gan Ning was drunk and dreamed of death, and his hairstyle was not messy and waited for the last battle, he really didn't wait in vain.
Two days later, Liu Beijun digested the results of the battle of Hanchang, took care of the people up and down in Hanchang County, and transported the military rations for more than 100 miles to build the advance base camp.
Subsequently, Zhang Fei used the old routine to prepare another wave of offensive against Danqu County.
"Report! Zhang Fei led the army to attack again, Xu Huang led the land route, Zhang Fei and Zhou Tai led the water route, which was less than ten miles away from our army's Dazhai, and Shi Jun had ordered his soldiers to attack in formation and delay the enemy army in the narrow part of the river valley! Please lead the warship into battle immediately! ”
"Xu Huang leads the land route again, Zhang Fei and Zhou Tai lead the water route? Isn't that exactly the same as the battle to capture Yan Pu? He also wants to drag the army head-on, land on the flanks and cut off the front and rear armies, and the head and tail can't take care of each other? This is too underestimating my Gan Ning. He deserves to be killed! ”
Gan Ning felt a great humiliation of being ignored, this is not to take him seriously.
Good! Look at me defeating Guan Yu first, and then defeating Zhang Fei!
"Fetch the weapon, untie the cable!" Gan Ning shouted.
Ma Zai next to him immediately handed over an iron halberd for one-handed use, similar to the kind of weapon used by Dian Wei. But Gan Ning used not a double halberd, but a halberd and a shield, and another chain flail was inserted into his waist as an auxiliary weapon.
The flail is a semi-soft weapon with a hammer head but a chain in the middle, similar in structure to nunchucks.
This kind of weapon is conducive to breaking the shield when encountering a strong enemy with a shield in water warfare, and it is also convenient to bypass the enemy's block when slamming - Gan Ning has more than once relied on the flail to jump and smash the enemy to death by headshot when he was receiving the gang.
With the weapon in his hand, Gan Ning personally swung his halberd and cut the Shu brocade used as a cable like a sickle.
Half of the broken brocade is still wrapped around the bolt pile at the bow of the ship, looking like a bow fluttering in the wind.
……
"Look! The bow of the ship is tied with a brocade knot! It's Gan Ning here! ”
The big red bow bow was so riotous that it was so conspicuous that it was still far away from the enemy ship.
"No wonder I didn't bump into him last time I captured Yan Pu, but later I heard that he went to the south to block the second brother. Oh, the second brother beats you against the water, which is naturally unfavorable, let's beat you against the water today, see how you hide! ”
Zhang Fei stood at the bow of the ship, his fleet had just maneuvered in place, and he recognized the flag formation on the shore where Zhang Lu personally supervised the battle behind the ditch village, and wanted to go a little deeper, and directly complete his work in a battle, separating Zhang Lu himself from the rebel army.
Who knew that because of such a delay, he was finally caught up by Gan Ning.
But that's okay! He was the one who was waiting.
Zhang Fei waved his hand: "The bed crossbow is still ready!" Fifty paces closer...... No! Thirty paces before the arrow is fired! We only have one wave! Then, at twenty paces, he threw away the clay pot and torch filled with sugar gum oil! Got it! Whoever dares to do it first, don't blame me for military law! ”
Because of the rush of time, the number of these special combat materials reserves is not large, and Zhang Fei only has a wave of opportunities.
The warships of the two armies were connected, and the "buzz~buzz~" echoed several times, dozens of arrows rained out, and there were also many bows and crossbows on the Ganning battleship, and even javelins with ropes and axes to shoot fiercely.
Although the ship is not large and the bulkhead protection is poor, everyone is wearing shields, like a tortoiseshell formation, at least more than eighty percent of the long-range attacks have been blocked.
More than a dozen people in Ganning's fleet were stabbed by arrows shot from the cracks, screaming and falling into the water.
On Zhang Fei's side, there were also many soldiers who were pierced by throwing axes and javelins and smashed their shields, and the number of losses was no less than that of the enemy.
There were also some tomahawks and javelins nailed to the ship's wood, and the Ganning army water thieves immediately pulled the rope hard, trying to drag the hooked Zhang Feijun warship to a nearby place and jump to the gang to slash and kill.
"It is worthy of being a general who is well versed in water warfare, and he can actually use this method to temporarily pull the enemy ships that are staggered by the hedge speed for dozens of miles, but it will not give you a chance to jump up!"
Seeing this, Zhang Fei sighed and felt proud in his heart.
Gan Ning's unique skill, I'm afraid it's going to be counterproductive!
Originally, the relative speed of the two warring parties was very fast, and they were not necessarily accurate, but Gan Ning dragged the enemy ship with a rope, so there was no relative speed to hit a fixed target!
Each of the twenty Han warships threw out a clay pot, a small half of which fell into the river and was wasted, but at least sixty percent of the enemy ships were hit.
Then the torches were thrown, and many Ganning Army bandits were still stunned by the clay pot smashed on the shield, and the flames soon came.
"Ahh Fire! This fire can't be shaken off! Jump into the river! ”
The shields used to block the projectile weapons have been discarded, and some of the quick-sighted bandits are already doing their best to save them, throwing them directly into the river.
But the oil that spilled when the clay pot shattered was not all stuck to the shield, but more of it was scattered on the ship's wood.
Fortunately, this is on the river, and for soldiers with good water skills, as long as they abandon the boat and jump into the river to survive, it is no problem.
After a while, dozens of warships of the Ganning Army caught fire, and the bandits jumped into the river one after another. And those who wore iron armor and didn't have time to take it off, many of them were dragged by the rapids and sank to the bottom of the river.
Gan Ning's own ship was also hit by a clay pot of oil and oil, and because the bow was tied with a big red brocade bow, his ship was too conspicuous and was taken care of. At least thirty cans of fire oil beckoned him to take the ship, and the Shu brocade bow was the first to be burned, and the sails made of Shu brocade were second only to them, and they were more flammable than the reed mat sails of other ships.
Only three seconds after being attacked, Gan Ning's ship was the first to lose power, and the sails were completely destroyed.
Gan Ning himself was also wearing iron armor, he didn't have time to take it off, and he was also contaminated with a few sticky fireoil and couldn't shake it off.
When he threw the throwing axe to slash Zhang Feiza's ship just now, Gan Ning specially tied the rope at the tail of the throwing axe he threw and wrapped it around the iron chain part of his chain flail, so that when the two ships pulled over the side, he could swing over and jump onto the enemy ship.
At this moment, he counted on this rope to ensure that he could pull it to the surface again after jumping into the river to extinguish the fire.
Gan Ning closed his breath for a very long time, holding it in the water for nearly a minute, to ensure that the fire on his body was completely extinguished and would not rekindle, and there was no burning oil slick on the water, he struggled to pull the rope on the flail and climbed up one by one.
Finally, he watched under the water to make sure that there was no one near the place where the axe was tied on the side of the ship, so he pulled violently, jumped out of the water and grabbed the side of the boat and turned over.
"Today is either you dead or I die!" Gan Ning roared, he had already abandoned the shield underwater, so he could only use the chain flail with one hand and the halberd with one hand, and jumped directly after finding Zhang Fei at a glance.
He knew that he was the only one who boarded Zhang Fei's boat at this time, and even if the other bandit brothers jumped into the river to escape, it was impossible to drag the rope to Zhang Fei's boat, so the only way to do it quickly and kill an enemy general was enough. Otherwise, a ship will be an enemy, and it will be surrounded and beaten, and it will be completely in vain.
Zhang Fei was also stunned, he didn't expect that Gan Ning's boat was burned and he could suddenly jump out of the river with a rope, and hurriedly waved a snake spear to fight.
Zhang Fei's first reaction was to cross the snake spear to block the enemy's first jump split, but fortunately, Zhang Fei's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Gan Ning, who was in the air, was not using a mace but a chain flail, and the hammer head could be turned and shaken, so he temporarily changed his trick and stabbed forward with a gun in one hand, so as to use the length advantage to block Gan Ning from a distance.
Gan Ning was in mid-air, unable to dodge at all, seeing that he was about to be pierced by the snake spear through the chest, he gritted his teeth and smashed across the chain flail, after the flail handle collided with the spear shaft, the iron chain was immediately wound up because of inertia, and then Gan Ning violently pulled it to one side and three ways, only to swing the spear shaft and avoid the misfortune of piercing the chest.
Zhang Fei secretly called it a fluke, and hurriedly retracted it, and held the spear shaft with his other hand and shook it hard.
At this moment, Zhang Fei has become a two-handed spear and Gan Ning only holds a chain flail in one hand, the two weapons are entangled in one place, even if Gan Ning's strength is not small, one hand is far weaker than Zhang Fei's hands, the chain flail was taken away, Zhang Fei shook the gun flower, and threw Gan Ning's chain flail into the river.
Gan Ning only had the halberd in his left hand, he knew that he was still not lucky, recalling the description of the old pedant who told the story of the Spring and Autumn Period in the village when he was a teenager, and made up for the death of Zilu by himself, and then put down the iron halberd, and the hairstyle that was soaked in the river water was wrung out and straightened out like that.
"What do you mean? Do you dare to despise me when you are dying? Zhang Fei felt provoked, and the snake spear shot out, went straight to Gan Ning's throat, and stopped two or three inches in front of his neck.
"If you want to kill, I will kill with one blow, and no matter how much I struggle in vain, I will only die more ugly. A gentleman will inevitably die of a crown, but it's a pity that he can't change into a clean brocade robe and die, come on. ”
"Hahaha, you guy, you love beautiful clothes more than my eldest brother." Zhang Fei laughed and mocked, shook the shaft of the spear, changed the stab to the slap, and hit Gan Ning on the neck with the pole, knocking him unconscious to the ground and capturing him.
