The two naval armies went straight down the river one after the other, heading straight for the direction of Jinling City, where the Yangtze River was downstream.

Driving out of the waterway for about ten miles, to the south of the Yangtze River, there is a side branch of the waterline, and the potter's naval warships are turning sharply one after another.

Yuan Shu was urging Le to quickly drive the large and small warships into the waterway, but his heart suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Yan Xiang.

Sure enough, Yan Xiang at this moment also turned his head to look at Yuan Shu with a deep face.

The gazes of the two were meaningful, and there was a hint of alarm between them.

But seeing that the waterway has been seen twice, the land has been gradually revealed, and there are a few layers of mountains on the case, the terrain is higher, if the ships sail into it, and the mountains and forests on both sides happen to hide ambushes with strong bows and crossbows, then they will shoot at the warships on the river......

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but gasp, he turned his head to look at Yan Xiang, and said with appreciation: "Thanks to Master Yan's prior reminder, otherwise Yuan Mou would have fallen for the tricks of the potter's child under the pursuit of victory this time!" ”

Yan Xiang waved his hand modestly and said respectfully: "The general is wise and martial, and he is only a little mention below, which is not a big deal. ”

Yuan Shu looked at the Jinling Navy that had already entered the narrow road, and then asked Yan Xiangdao: "Then according to the opinion of the master, what should Yuan do next?" ”

Yan Xiang rolled the whisker on his chin with his fingers, and replied with a smile: "This matter is easy, since the pottery merchant's navy wants to lure us into the waterway, then let them go in by themselves, the general doesn't have to ignore him, let's turn the bow of the ship and go straight to Jinling City, after Sumeru, the pottery merchant's navy will have to chase them out by themselves, when the time comes, let's find an opportunity to turn the bow of the navy, and then destroy them...... General, the initiative to fight or not to fight, but this time it is in our hands. ”

Yuan Shu laughed and stretched out a thumbs up to Yan Xiang.

Yan Xiang is worthy of being the first think tank under his command, and he turned his hands into clouds between changing hands.

Yuan Shu's navy immediately turned the bow of the boat, ignoring the potters who rushed into the river by themselves, but commanded the sailors to continue down the river, heading straight for Jinling City.

Of course, Yuan Shu did not retreat all the sailors, he also left a few surveillance boats, and at the mouth of the river here, he kept a close eye on how the potter's sailors would move next.

The sailors traveled more than ten miles, and the boat monitoring the river mastered the search, so they immediately turned the bow of the boat, accelerated their speed to get close to Yuan Shu's main team of warships, and waved the flag to the main ship, delivering the code flag.

Le squinted his eyes, observed carefully for a while, and grinned heartily: "Lord Yan's book is a divine calculation!" The water army of the pottery merchant really came out of the river, and at this time it was closely chasing our water army, and its speed was much faster than when I first met them. ”

Yuan Shu was greatly comforted when he heard this, he clapped his hands, and his words were full of pride: "The little thief of the Tao family, so underestimate me? A little shallow trick, and dare to come up with ugliness, can you deceive your general? Now your ambush is completely useless, and you are still behind Yuan, this Jinling City, Yuan wants to see what you take to defend! ”

Speaking of this, he saw Yuan Shu facing Le and ordered: "Order all the departments of the navy, don't worry about the pottery thieves behind you for the time being, let's just speed up the march and go down the river to take Jinling City!" Let's let the potter be in the back and taste what it's like to have a soul collapse! ”

"No!"

……

……

Jinling City leads to the Yangtze River outlet to the north fifty miles of waterway, there is a low-lying, where the draft is not deep, the water and grass are abundant, which is conducive to the driving and rocking of small warships, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, and a group of water leaders, led the water army under their command, are ambushed in this puddle at this moment.

Gan Ning sat on the edge of a small boat, while paddling with the water with a knife, waving ripples, and swaying up and down with a reed pole in his mouth, his tone seemed very helpless: "Damn, I've been waiting for days!" I didn't see Yuan Jun's warship arrive here, didn't the kid surnamed Guo miscalculate the time and delay the fighter? ”

Compared with Gan Ning's bear-like appearance, Zhou Tai is obviously much calmer and more sophisticated.

Although I don't know why the potter insisted on believing in the tactics of a young scholar, Zhou Tai did not comment too much on this matter, although the potter was young, but Zhou Tai could feel that this son was not an extraordinary person, he blindly believed that the strategist surnamed Guo must have his thoughts.

Zhou Tao pestled the plank with his sword, quietly looked at the river in the distance, and said indifferently: "The left and right have already agreed to Tao Fujun to join the ranks of the official army, no matter how he arranges the arrangement, as an official army, we only need to abide by his wishes, and nothing else." ”

Gan Ning smiled, turned his head and spit out the reed in his mouth into the Yangtze River, stretched out his tongue and licked the knife in his hand: "The problem is that Lao Tzu is already impatient!" Yuan Shu's thief, how can he not be there? It's really a rush to kill people. ”

Zhou Tai was quite unaccustomed to some of Gan Ning's habits, he frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Look at your stinky virtues, you are also a member of the official army, can you be a little serious." ”

Gan Ningheng snorted, too lazy to pay attention to him.

At this time, Jiang Qin suddenly jumped over from the boat next to him and whispered to Zhou Tai: "Big boss!" ”

Zhou Tai turned his head dissatisfiedly and glared at Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin was a little stunned by Zhou Tai's eyes, and he didn't know which sentence he had Zhou Tai.

Gan Ning laughed, looked at Jiang Qin mockingly, and said, "It's the wrong name!" ”

"Oh!"

Only then did Jiang Qin understand where he had provoked Zhou Tai, and hurriedly corrected his mistakes, and said again: "Captain Pingyu!" ”

Zhou Tai's face softened appropriately.

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows lightly and pursed his lips on the side.

Zhou Tai is also quite vain.

"The spies have come to report that from the northern waterway, there is a large fleet coming down the river from our side!"

Zhou Tai and Gan Ning were both refreshed when they heard this.

Gan Ning's ass and legs strained, jumped up directly from the edge of the boat, and landed on the deck: "Is it Yuan Shu's navy, or Jinling City's navy?" ”

Jiang Qin said to Gan Ning in a deep voice: "There are two naval armies, but Yuan Shu's naval army is in front, and the naval army of Jinling City is following behind!" ”

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.

When the potter conveyed Guo Jia's tactics, he told the two to hold the waterway intersection dozens of miles in front of Jinling City, and told them that when Yuan's army arrived, they would send troops to attack Yuan Shu's navy, and that Yuan Shu's fleet would be in front and Jinling City's fleet would be behind.

Regarding this matter, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai actually don't believe it.

Logically speaking, Yuan Shu's navy went down the river, and the pottery merchant's navy was the sailor who was strategically positioned to prevent him from the south of the Yangtze River to resist Yuan Shu...... According to the general principle, it is impossible for Yuan Shu's navy to run in front of the potters' navy, even if it runs in front of their navy, according to common sense, Yuan Shu should have turned around first to defeat them, instead of going down the river to take Jinling City, but threw the potters behind.

In the middle of this, what happened to make the two armies attack and defend and transpose?

The surname Tao and the surname Yuan, will there be a water fight?

It seems that the person surnamed Guo doesn't seem to be completely boasting when he speaks.

Zhou Tai touched his chin, turned his head to Gan Ning and said, "It seems that although the gentleman surnamed Guo is young, he really has a bit of calculation in his chest...... Tao Fujun once said when arranging for us people that if we go out into battle, Yuan Shu will inevitably turn the bow of the ship and storm the Jinling army behind him, and then the fleet of Jinling City will try to delay Yuan Shu's momentum, and we will take advantage of this gap to storm Yuan Shu and win a complete victory...... Whether this is true or not, it seems that it will soon be known. ”

Gan Ning sneered and said: "It doesn't matter if he is true or not, after we go out of the battle, everything will be clear, and what can Yuan Shu do even if he doesn't look back?" Ye is not afraid of him! ”

……

……

Yuan Shu's fleet was now flowing down the Yangtze River, and suddenly, a pair of dense boats crossed out of the reed-swamped waterway on the slope, rushing straight towards Yuan Shu's fleet at a very fast speed.

Le was the first to discover the traces of the navy in front of him, and hurriedly reported to Yuan Shu when he saw this.

Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang were quite surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly ran out of the cabin.

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes, carefully looked at the sailor army rushing towards him, and said to Yan Xiang: "I didn't expect that the potter's thief still had a sailor ambush here, but Yuan underestimated him." ”

Behind Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, general, look at it from below, those soldiers and horses are just the last soldiers and horses defending Jinling City, it shouldn't be a big deal, you see that their warships are all small boats, not even a decent building boat, and the people on the small boat are not neatly dressed, and the weapons are also different, it must be the division of the weak brigade under the command of the potter, and it can't be much of a storm." ”

Yuan Shu squinted and watched for a long time, and also agreed with Yan Xiang's opinion.

"Right now, the soldiers and horses defending Jinling City are also on the water array, Master Yan thinks, how should we deal with this battle now?"

Yan Xiang stroked his beard slowly, and said, "It's good that the defenders of Jinling City have come to the river, so we don't need to spend a lot of effort to attack the city, so it's time to clean them up at this moment...... The key is the main force of the pottery merchants who follow them, since the thief surnamed Tao wants to make the last fight with the lord, then the lord might as well follow his wishes, and first divide a part of the boat to block the incoming army of Yuan Shu, the lord leads the army to attack the pottery thieves in the rear, first destroy the main force of the pottery merchants, and then eliminate the Jinling defenders in the front, and then worry about it. ”

Yuan Shu's eyes rolled when he heard this, he pondered for a while, and nodded: "Feasible!" ”
