Chapter 378: Gan Ning rushed to help
Chapter 378
Lu Su didn't expect that he originally just wanted to chase Lu Xun back, but he didn't expect that the sword had no eyes, and he still injured Lu Xun. What made him even more unexpected was that Zhuge Jin was sitting on this merchant ship. This is clearly from Wu County, and it is only a few hours away from leaving the Chaisang territory to enter Jingzhou. All the Jiangdong soldiers who came to pursue did not expect that this was the current situation.
Fortunately, the warship was large enough, although it only brought a mere fifty crossbowmen, but the warship could mainly serve the merchant ships and wait for the arrival of the large army behind.! Although it was only fifty crossbowmen, because of the condescending and active attack, it was only a time to chase a stick of incense on the Yangtze River, Lu Xun lost three brocade guards on this side, and although the remaining few people could still hold on, there were still arrows constantly shooting into the cabin, which frightened the people inside to exclaim!
Lu Xun was injured, everyone was surrounded, and Zhuge Jin couldn't sit still anymore! His recklessness affected everyone before. This time he was standing alone in the bow of the boat, shouting at Lu Su: "; Lu Zijing, you have to work hard for Jiangdong, we have no one to stop you! And Bo Yan and I have close relatives in Jingzhou, why do you have to work hard to force each other, now Bo Yan has been injured, and if it drags on, his life will be in danger! You and I had no enmity in the past, and no resentment today, why do we have to kill them all! ”
"Ziyu, don't blame Su for being ruthless. Tell me to stop and make your people stop! You and Boyan will follow me back to Chaisang. ”
"My life is at stake!" Seeing that Lu Su on the opposite side was murderous and refused to back down at all, Zhuge Jin naturally felt that the situation was not secondary. Now she regrets a little that she added enough snakes, and if An An takes a boat to Jingzhou in a delay, she doesn't have to care about Lu Xun. , this Lu Xun must have others to persuade and inform. It's good now, I'm afraid I'm going to be wiped out by Lu Su!
There is no regret medicine in this world, if there is, Zhuge Jin will definitely not go to Chaisang, even if he goes, Lu Su catches up, he will not rush out of the cabin! Zhuge Jin didn't understand Lu Su's difficulties, a Lu Xun, Sun Quan didn't care much, after all, he was still Liu Cong's brother-in-law! Lu Xun wants to take refuge in Liu Cong, of course Lu Su can't stop him!
But when he is with Lu Xun, how much can the three ships load? How did Lu Su know if there were other Jiangdong celebrities on the boat, and how could he let them go at this time? Zhuge Jin stood on the bow of the boat and shouted like this, just a dead horse as a live horse doctor. However, he soon found out that there was no effect at all, and this Lu Su seemed to be iron-hearted! Hurriedly hid in the cabin!
"Originally, I still boasted that I was here to guide the Boyan brothers. Now it seems that it has affected everyone! Zhuge Jin awkwardly found a place to sit down in the cabin.
"Mr. Zhuge doesn't have to be like this, if Lu Dudu dares to board the boat, I will definitely have a fish with him!" Liu Wen was worried about Lu Xun's injury, and at the same time comforted Zhuge Jin, making Zhuge Jin feel a little better!
"yes, I see he didn't bring many people, we went out to fight with them!" The young and vigorous Lu Ji obviously didn't know the danger of the battlefield. He saw that his nieces and daughters-in-law were so brave, and he didn't want to sit in the cabin and be a turtle with a shrunken head!
"yes, go out and fight with them!" Some people take the lead, and others follow suit. Hearing the movement in the cabin, a leader of the brocade guard hurriedly ran in, and when he saw the excited crowd, his face turned pale with fright!
Joke? Desperately, that's not now, everyone is a bow and crossbow, my brothers are professionally trained, and three of them have died, and you have not become a live target when you go out, and you have blocked the hatch of the ship again and again: "Everyone be calm, don't be impatient, there is our resistance outside, we will definitely hold out until the reinforcements arrive!" It's not too late to wait for them to board the ship! ”
Everyone looked at the soldier covered in blood, and immediately wilted, this person is professionally trained, and it is still so, what is it that he is not a live target when he goes out? So the cabin was quiet. However, the shipwrights were already frightened when they saw the arrows flying around. Soon the three merchant ships were caught up by the warships again!
However, Lu Su did not immediately send people to board the ship to search, but placed five warships across the river to block the direction of the merchant ships. It's not that Lu Su is timid, the exchange of fire just now has made him feel that the other party's soldiers have good combat effectiveness. Fifty of your own crossbowmen besieged a dozen of them. shot three of the other party, but paid the price of eight himself.
Now the rest of the other party is hiding on the edge of the cabin, using all kinds of obstacles on the ship as cover, if they rush to send troops up, they are afraid that one will be shot if they go up! Even if they swarmed up, most of them would be killed or injured. Even if you can rush to the ship privately and fight hand-to-hand, who can guarantee that you will take it, and who can guarantee that there will be no foot warriors without crossbowmen in the cabin? Now Lu Su's advantage is that the warship is big enough and tall enough! It is difficult for the other party to escape by ramming the hull of the boat, and it is also difficult to board the ship. Then just wait for the follow-up reinforcements in place. All three merchant ships will be taken prisoner!
Of course, Lu Su didn't want Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin to become two corpses, and if he wanted to punish them, he would also send someone to Wu County and hand them over to the lord Sun Quan! Lu Su's side stopped attacking, and the Jinyi guards, who were not superior in numbers, also got a chance to breathe, and each found good cover and fired an arrow at the opponent's ship from time to time. But they also understand that in this situation, it is difficult to break through!
If the back and forth of the battle between the two sides made the people in the cabin nervous, then the waiting after the ship was stopped became an ordeal! Lu Xun was shot in the left shoulder, and although he bled a lot, it was quickly stopped. Seeing that everyone fell silent, he just smiled awkwardly, the so-called impermanence of the world may be suitable for his own experience today! No one in the cabin spoke, and almost each other's heartbeats could be heard!
I don't know how long it was, but there was a commotion on the side of the warships that seemed to be blocking their way. A few bold people hurriedly poked their heads out to look......
"Isn't it that the large army of the Chaisang Navy has caught up?" Lu Xun asked softly, he knew Lu Su's style, if he came to pursue, it was absolutely impossible to send only five warships. Presumably in a hurry, with five ships first, there must be a large force behind! However, no one answered Lu Xun, the situation was already very critical, and the return of the Chaisang Navy was a way of thinking!
At this time, Lu Su stood at the bow of the ship and clenched the sword with a serious expression, originally, he had been staring at Chaisang's defense line, and there seemed to be movement in the distance! According to his estimates, it will probably not take half an hour, and the large army of the Chaisang Navy will definitely arrive! However, what disappointed him was that just after the time of a stick of incense, he did not wait for the reinforcement of the Chaisang Water Army, on the contrary, there were many black spots on the opposite side gradually approaching! 500 steps, 300 steps...... It is already clear that it is a Jingzhou warship, and the number is more than a dozen!
Damn it! If the Jingzhou Navy arrives at the scene first, then he can only obediently hand over people. But there is no way, you have to face it! Lu Su motioned for the other four boats to stay where they were and let his boat catch up.
"Who's on the other side? Why did you enter my Chaisan realm! "Lu Su doesn't want them to see those merchant ships!
"Oh, this will be the commander of the Jiangxia Naval Army, Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, who are you?" Gan Ning is also pretending to be crazy and stupid, although he doesn't know Lu Su, but Lu Su has been to Jingzhou, and he has heard people talk about it, and then refer to the real thing, this Lu Su should not be difficult to recognize.
"In Xiajiangdong, the naval army is the governor of Lusu. Since Your Excellency is a Jiangxia Navy, why did you suddenly break into my Chaisang? "Lu Su also knows that the comer is not good! This Gan Ning, others may not know, as the governor of Jiangdong's naval army, Lu Su naturally knows! Although Gan Ning is only the commander of the Jiangxia Naval Army, in fact, most of the entire Jingzhou Naval Army is from Gan Ning's hands. If Liu Cong is on an eastward crusade in the future, this son must be a pioneer!
"Oh, it's Lu Dudu! Ben will hear that our Jingzhou merchant ship has been attacked here, so he specially came to support. Why did Rududu find out that the robbers didn't? Gan Ning was talking to Lu Su, but he didn't mean to stop the warship, which made Lu Su very anxious!
"General! Stop the boat, this is my Jiangdong waters, you and I are allies. Is it possible that you have to break through? ”
"The governor said this is wrong, since they are allies, they should be sincerely united and work together to suppress bandits. Besides, if our army can capture the robbers in one fell swoop, it will also eliminate the harm for Jiangdong! ”
"Stop! Stop it! Seeing that the Jingzhou warship was about to collide, Lu Su called the other party to stop, and signaled his own retreat! The situation is stronger than people, Gan Ning brought fifteen warships, although they were also not full, but they had already occupied the absolute front in terms of numbers!
"What does the governor mean by this, is it not to shield those robbers? Or maybe the robbers were pretending to be the Governor? ”
Lu Su was so angry in his heart, where are there any robbers here, but what Gan Ning said is vibrant, and he doesn't put his own warship in his eyes when he plays. The few warships that were originally parked behind quickly saw the situation clearly, and quietly dispersed and walked back.
"Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived! Burn the wind! Rush out! A sharp-eyed brocade guard saw the Ganzi flag on the warship in the distance, and when he looked at the number, he knew why the several warships that had surrounded him before had dispersed, and hurriedly encouraged the boatmen to sail!
"Reinforcements?" Zhuge Jin's eyes lit up, and then he regained his composure, thinking in his heart, this is what Liu Cong did, if I was buried in the Yangtze River today, it would really be in vain for us to go all the way to Jingzhou to join him!
"Yes, it's reinforcements, and it's General Gan Ning who came in person! Now we're safe! "That Jinyi Wei was very excited, the name of Gan Ning was like thunder in Jingzhou. Especially in the water army, this Gan Ning is a dragon-like existence!
"Husband, it's General Gan who is here!" Liu Wen was also overjoyed when she heard it. When he was in Jingzhou City, he often saw Gan Ning following his second brother inseparably, and later inquired about it, he learned that his martial arts were better than his uncle Cai Mao, and his ability to command troops was not inferior! If Gan Ning really came, even if it was a ship, Lu Su was afraid that he would not be able to do anything!
"Let the ship speed up, and we'll wait in the cabin to see what happens!" With the lesson of one arrow, Lu Xun didn't dare to be careless, and reminded everyone in a low voice.
"Uncle, please rest assured, General Gan is approaching us, I'll give a signal!" With that, he walked out of the cabin and felt something from above......
Originally, the child paper wanted to force Lu Su back and continue to search for the whereabouts of Lu Xun and others on the Yangtze River, Gan Ning, saw the signal of Jinyiwei, and immediately waved the flag, and the fifteen warships immediately showed a combat state, and marched at full speed in three rows!
"Gan Ning, you are so rude!" Lu Su retreated, and angrily reprimanded Gan Ning: "This is my Jiangdong waters, you can enter silently, forget it, now that the governor of Bendu is patrolling here, you actually want to rush into battle!" I'm going to Xiangyang to sue you!
"Dudu, stop acting, hurry up and call my aunt and Mr. Zhuge out. This general can see that for the sake of the Sun-Liu Alliance, let you go today, otherwise this Yangtze River is your burial place! In fact, Gan Ning couldn't be happy at this moment, although he saw clearly that Lu Su only brought five warships, and his own side had the advantage. But it was obvious that Lu Su really lived in Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun's ship before he arrived!
This also means that Jin Yiwei and Lu Su may have already fought a battle, so Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun can be said to be life and death unknown! Although Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun were picked up by Jinyiwei, he was ordered to send fifteen warships every day to guard at the junction of the two places. I didn't expect something to happen. The Jinyi guard who came to report the news took the land route, although he was riding a horse, but Lu Xun and the others set off from Chaisang, and Gan Ning also knew that it must be more than lucky!
I didn't see the trace of Lu Xun and the others before, Cai and Lu Su talked a few words, and now Jinyiwei has sent a signal, indicating that there is movement, and what etiquette and diplomatic relations can be taken care of there! Rescuing his uncle is the right thing, so he rushed over this way, and he didn't think that Lu Su would take the initiative to get out of the way, but even if it is a building, he will knock Lu Su away, and then continue to advance towards Chaisang!
It was also this Gan Ning who went down the river, otherwise he would not have come to the scene of the incident so soon. This Lu Su saw that there were hundreds of crossbowmen on every boat in Gan Ning, and it was impossible to fight hard, but he was unwilling to let Zhuge Jin and Lu Su go! Just when he had nothing to do, the movement behind finally turned into a black spot! The Chaisan Naval Army has arrived! Reinforcements have arrived!
"Stop them, stop them! Our water army has arrived! Lu Su completely ignored Sven, and hysterically shouted at the boatmen and crossbowmen: "Our sailors have arrived, don't let them go!" While shouting, he pointed to the three merchant ships in Jiangxin
Gan Ning, who was following Lu Su, didn't know what was going on in front of him, he originally thought that Lu Su was interested in making way for him. Unexpectedly, seeing that the ship was about to collide, Lu Su's ship was in the middle of the general, not only that, but several other warships were also lined up!
Boom! Boom! Bang bang ...... Lu Su would rather be bumped into than give way? Gan Ning didn't frown: "Kill!" Kill those who stand in the way! "If something happens to Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun, Gan Ning doesn't care what the other party is, the governor of the Jiangdong Navy! Now that the words have been said, if you still get out of the way, you can only slam it away!
Whoosh...... A rain of arrows poured down, and the crossbowmen on the five warships led by Lu Su didn't have time to escape into the cabin and all the corpses were on the spot! Most of those shipwrights were also slaughtered! With such a close and sudden start of battle, and with an absolute advantage in numbers, of course, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle!
"Come aboard the ship and remove these lumps for General Ben!" Gan Ning roared loudly!
"General, no! Look ahead! ”
This reminder surprised Gan Ning! It turned out that not far away, the dense Jiangdong warships were coming, and the few that rushed to the front surrounded the three merchant ships in the center! There is no doubt that if Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun and the others are still alive, they must be on the merchant ship, and the signal just now may have come from here!
Could it be that this Lu Su is luring the enemy to go deeper? It's not like it, it's too bitter, isn't it? Gan Ning didn't dare to be careless! Immediately, the flag waved, and the output of the back began to move to both sides, bypassing the Jiangdong warship in front.
"Hurry up and pick up those merchant ships! Send two teams of sergeants aboard! "This Lu Su's ship has stopped moving, and if you don't board the ship, you won't be able to move it, and if these merchant ships want to pass, you must move one or two of them away! Gan Ning's flagship did not leave the warship where Lu Su was, but leaned close together, and as there were warships on both sides to meet the merchant ships, Gan Ning was ready to take Lu Su to attack!
However, things did not develop in the direction that Gan Ning wanted, Lu Su's ship suddenly started and crashed towards those merchant ships, and the merchant ships that were originally moving fast were knocked into place! Then I was surrounded! And the transfer ships of the two sides also fell into a melee situation, and a fierce battle started on the broad Yangtze River!
Not good! If it goes on like this, the victory or defeat is secondary, and this Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun are afraid that they will fall into the hands of the enemy! Gan Ning turned around and said to one of the adjutant generals: "Send twenty people into the water to control Lu Su's boat!" ”
Immediately, I saw waves on the surface of the river, and more than 20 people entered the water like white stripes in the waves. And the battle on the river has also entered the white heat! Although most of the Chaisang naval army were recruits, they had an advantage in numbers. And Gan Ning has the advantage of going downstream, plus these people are all experienced fritters. Neither side can take advantage of it for a while! And Gan Ning's ship was also blocked, and he couldn't get close to the merchant ship anymore!
And at this moment, the first few Chaisang warships to arrive, under the command of Lu Su, quickly surrounded the merchant ships, and then boarded the ships! Seeing the success of his own operation, Lu Su stood on the bow of the boat again: "General Gan, this time it was originally a misunderstanding, or stop the army." Otherwise......"
"How else? Gan Ning was worried that he couldn't find Lu Su, but he didn't expect him to dare to come out at this time, although there were many Chaisang soldiers, there were few people on the Lu Su boat. If Lu Su is locked, Ganing can control Lu Su even if the ship is damaged.
"Otherwise, all the men on the merchant ship will die!
