Chapter 416: Counterattacking Guangling Port

Sou!

Yuan Xi observed for a while, took out his bow and arrow, and shot at Gan Ning.

Clang!

Gan Ning seemed to be intent on showing off his martial arts, standing on the deck of a fighting ship, watching the arrows come and shoot them away with the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand.

He didn't retreat into the cabin, but stood on the deck, waiting for the second arrow to strike.

"As you wish..." Yuan Xi shot three arrows in a row: "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Bell, bell, bell...

Gan Ning smiled slightly, wielded a three-pointed two-edged knife, and slashed all the arrows away. It seemed very relaxed and confident to him, and he didn't even blink an eyelid.

"It's worthy of Gan Ning."

Yuan Xi thought in his heart.

Even if Zhang Jaw, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou may not be able to do it, every time they accurately split arrows, and moreover, it is still at night when their vision is blurred. The difficulty has increased greatly, and it can be seen that Gan Ning's martial arts are definitely first-class.

"The one above is General Yuan Xi, Gan Ning is polite!" Gan Ning raised his head and shouted.

"General Gan is good at martial arts...."

"The general smiled, thank you for sending me two large ships, thank you..." Gan Ning laughed a few times, and led the naval army behind him to move closer to the large ship in front.

Yuan Xi put away his bow and arrows and did not talk to Gan Ning again.

watched Gan Ning leave, thinking to himself: "Gan Ning is a general, very good at water warfare, if you can recruit him, it is better than banning and being happy." At that time, the Hebei Navy will truly be invincible in the world. ”

For Gan Ning, Yuan Xi has some understanding.

He was originally a Jinfan thief in Dongting Lake in Neijiang, crisscrossing the Yangtze River, plundering ships coming and going, and was the great enemy of the Jingzhou Navy; Later, Sun Ce rose, formed a naval army, and surrendered Gan Ning.

In the final analysis, Gan Ning is a water thief.

There is no deep background, no family care.

If Gan Ning can be captured and then taken to Hebei, Yuan Xi is seventy percent sure that he can persuade him to surrender.

"Whether you succeed or not, you have to try..."

Yuan Xi made up his mind and planned to capture Gan Ning.

Whew...

Sibu carried Yuan Xi to the east and north, and ordered Yu Ban and Le Jin to lead the naval army under their command to assemble on the shore ten miles away. As for the warships in the water village, the baggage, and the two large warships, they have been controlled by Gan Ning and are difficult to recapture. Yuan Xi also didn't plan to recapture it, and it was not a bad thing to let Gan Ning know about the advanced and powerful Hebei warships.

"My lord..." Ten miles away, Yu Ban and Le came forward.

When they saw Yuan Xi, both of them felt faceless.

Before, they also kept guaranteeing that the Hebei Navy was the most elite, not only to defeat Gan Ning, but also to capture Guangling Port, but now the army has not come out and has been defeated by Gan Ning. The prestige of the army was lost, and the strength was greatly reduced.

"Don't say anything, I already know..." Yuan Xi was indeed angry. Not only because of the hundreds of steam engine warships that sank to the bottom of the river, but also because of the impact caused by the defeat of the war.

In the future, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will have a fluke mentality, which makes them more determined to resist the Hebei Army.

The peace negotiation negotiated with Zhuge Jin may also come to naught because of this defeat.

"What are the losses of our army?" Yuan Xi asked.

Yu Ban replied: "The last general just counted the loss of one hundred and twenty-seven warships, three battalions of naval officers, and a total of 15,000 people. Now we have 3,000 men.... ”

"The losses are huge, I'm afraid... It's hard to fight again. Le Jin said.

"Sometimes, you're too confident. Think that if there is a steam engine warship, the speed is faster than the enemy army, and it will be invincible in the world? How do you know that water warfare is more difficult to control than land warfare? I hope this battle can remind you not to make the same mistake again. Yuan Xi said.

"Yes, the last general, remember..." The two answered.

"What do we do now?" Lejin asked.

"Now..."

Yuan Xi's gaze fell on the map again, and suddenly pointed to Guangling Port: "Hit Guangling Port!" ”

"Huh? Still fighting? ”

"Hit!"

Yuan Xi said: "The garrison of Guangling Port is only a few thousand in total, and Gan Ning dispatched several troops and horses, nearly 100 large and small warships, to attack our camp, what is left in Guangling Port?" It's not hard for us to conquer. ”

"My lord is right. The last general will go to give the order. Lejin walked out of the tent and ordered the army to set off.

Yu Bandao: "Laying down Guangling Port and teaching Gan Ning a lesson, it can be regarded as a tie with him, and when it reaches Sun Quan's ears, it can also... It can also be better... ”

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly: "Tie? We were almost wiped out, and we only captured an empty camp in Ganning, is it a tie? ”

Yuan Xi didn't listen to this kind of comforting words.

If you lose, you lose, and you just need to fight back later.

Besides, for Gan Ning, Yuan Xi still has important arrangements, and it doesn't matter if he wins or loses. Because one day in the future, maybe Gan Ning will become the general of Hebei, and he will be defeated in the hands of his own people, what does it matter.

............

The army was finished on the hour and marched towards Guangling Port.

As Yuan Xi expected, Gan Ning really played an empty city plan, and the defenders of Guangling Port were almost empty.

From a distance, the lights are bright, and there are soldiers patrolling everywhere. But if you look closely, there are only those soldiers standing guard and patrolling, and there are no others.

In total, there are no more than 200 people.

Yu Ban viciously ordered: "No. 17 medium-sized warship, sail at full speed, and crash into the enemy village!" ”

Whoa...

A warship, numbered No. 17, drove the steam engine to maximum horsepower and rushed to the camp outside Guangling Port.

Thundered!

Medium-sized warships have a very sharp mast at the nose. In peacetime, it is raised as a flag, and in wartime, it is lowered and becomes a spear for charging. At this time, the mast was facing the gate in front of it and slammed into it.

There was a loud bang that shook the sky, and the gate of the village was knocked open without accident.

By the way, even the walled wall collapsed in a large area.

"Kill..." Under the leadership of Yu Ban, dozens of warships rushed in.

There was nothing in the wall.

There were no warships.

There is no fairway.

From afar, it looks empty.

Those soldiers who were standing guard and patrolling, after seeing the entry of Yuan's warship, all fled in small boats, and soon left an empty camp.

"Kill..." Yuan Xi and Le Jin followed in a medium-sized ship. As soon as I entered the enemy village, I heard the shouts of killing in front of me. As far as the eye could see, thousands of torches rushed in this direction.

"This..." Yuan Xi was taken aback: "Gan Ning has a total of three or four thousand sailors, where did these thousands of people come from?" ”

"Yes, my lord, look at this posture, there are no less than five thousand people..."

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Yuan Xi summoned the four disagreements and rose to the sky, only to see that behind the thousands of torches, there were also soldiers from the brigade, and in total, there were no less than 10,000 people.

"How can there be so many enemies?" Yuan Xi was puzzled.

The main force of the Jiangdong Army is in Yangzhou, and there are not 10,000 in Guangling Port and Sanjiangkou combined, how could tens of thousands of Jiangdong Army suddenly appear?

Yuan Xi motioned for the four non-phases to fly down and probe closely.
