Chapter 415: Gan Ning is coming
It's night.
Guangling Port Camp.
Gan Ning, the general of the Jiangdong Water Army, summoned the captain under his command and ordered: "I have decided to surprise attack the Yuan Army's water village tonight and defeat Yuan Xi." Generals, would you like to go with me? ”
The lieutenant present was not Gan Ning's subordinates, nor did he belong to Zhou Yu, but Sun Quan's descendants. Formed two months ago (because Zhou Yu disobeyed the dispatch), the captains who led the troops were all the commanders of the Hushi under the car, and they were only loyal to Sun Quan. It was Sun Quan's army formed to counter Zhou Yu.
"General Yu, Mr. Zhuge has just been to Yuan Xi's water village, and Yuan Xi has agreed not to attack Guangling and Sanjiangkou, so why should we make trouble? Just wait for Yuan Xi to withdraw. A lieutenant said.
"You know what? Yuan Xi has always been untrustworthy, in case he backtracks and suddenly attacks Guangling, we will be in a passive situation. Again... Negotiation should also take into account strength, if we don't have the strength, how can we force Yuan Xi back? At least... In terms of the naval army, we must be stronger than the Hebei army. Gan Ning said.
"I don't know how the general is going to attack Yuan Jun's water village? You can't afford to lose this battle... After the lieutenants discussed, they were eager to make meritorious contributions and reluctantly agreed to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning said confidently: "Rest assured, generals. Although the warships of the Hebei Army are good, they are forbidden and happy, and they will not fight in water, and there are no giant beasts of Yuan Xi here. How did he win? I am absolutely sure that I will not only be able to defeat Yuan's army, but also rob their warships. ”
"Come here, listen to me..."
Gan Ning took out a map and put it on the desk.
The crowd gathered around and listened to Gan Ning's layout.
Crumb.
The layout is finished.
Gan Ning said: "Let's go and prepare." After two watches, attack the enemy village. ”
"No..."
The lieutenants retreated.
At this time, Yuan Jun's water village was very tightly defended. Dozens of small warships docked on the periphery, and at intervals, there was a medium-sized warship link, followed by a large warship, as the main force of the garrison, thus forming a water camp.
The place where Yuan Xi, Yu Ban, and Le Jin live happens to be in the location of the former camp.
There are three large warships here, linked to the river, like a castle.
Two shifts.
There was a flash of fire in the sky, and it was so faint that it was hard to spot without looking closely.
After the firelight appeared, many reed poles appeared on the surface of the river, the size of fingers, and the roots were upside down. Approaching Yuan Jun's Water Village. Then, from the direction of Guangling Port, five fighting ships and five warships came to raise flags and beat war drums.
Knock knock...
The drums were noisy, breaking the silence of the night.
Yuan Xi, Yu Ban, and Le Jin were all woken up and came out to check.
"My lord..." Yu Ban and Le Jin came forward.
"Look over there, it's Gan Ning's warship, right?" Yuan Xi pointed into the distance.
"Yes, my lord."
"I didn't expect Gan Ning to take the initiative to attack us, so it can be seen that Zhuge Jin's words can't be fully believed." Yu Ban hugged his fists and said: "The last general will set up a formation to face Gan Ning." ”
"Go ahead."
"No."
Yu Ban rushed to the rear, mobilized about 30 warships on both sides of the channel, and headed for Guangling Port.
However, after the ban left the village, more than a dozen enemy ships rushed from the east, with countless torches and flags on board, beating the drums of war, and the speed of moving forward was faster than that of Guangling Port.
"Yu Ban."
"Yes."
"Quickly lead the army into battle." Yuan Xi ordered.
"No."
Yu Ban mobilized more than 20 medium-sized warships and headed east.
"Look, my lord, there are enemy troops to the south." One of the generals standing behind Yuan Xi shouted.
Yuan Xi looked at it and saw that the enemy coming from the south was almost all small boats, no less than fifty, and three large fighting ships. There were no drums or flags, but Yuan Xi instinctively felt that this was the main force of the enemy.
"Quick, get ready to meet the enemy!" Yuan Xi drew his sword and shouted: "All the warships attacked, rushed over at full speed, and sank those small boats." ”
"Yes."
Several lieutenants split up.
First, the horn was sounded to prepare the soldiers of the whole battalion for battle, and then the torches were lit and the flags were waved. Order all large and medium-sized ships to charge south.
At the speed of a steam engine warship, it is really necessary to rush at full speed, let alone sink a small ship, even if it is a fighting ship or a ship, it will not be able to withstand the impact.
However.
There are always surprises.
Just as all the warships were about to depart, a roaring voice came: "Boom, boom... ”
"What's going on?" Yuan Xi also heard it and asked the soldiers under the bilge.
The soldier replied, "My lord, there is an enemy at the bottom of the ship.... ”
After a boom, the bottom of the ship was smashed through, and a large amount of water poured into the cabin.
"It's water, it's water..." The soldiers were shouting. The soldiers on deck rushed into the cabin, went out into the water, and looked for cotton cloth to plug the hole.
But the hole was too big to be plugged, and more and more water poured into the cabin.
The hull sank rapidly.
"What a Gan Ning!" Yuan Xi's eyes were slightly cold, and he whistled into the distance, and the sound of the whistle came over. Yuan Xi took four different phases and lifted into the air.
The camp has been in disarray.
Except for the more than 30 warships taken away by Yu Ban and Lejin, the remaining large and medium-sized warships were all smashed through the bottom of the ships, and slowly sank into the Yangtze River as the river poured in. The small warships on the periphery were affected by large and medium-sized warships, some were overturned, some floated away, and they were no longer in formation, and there were no soldiers to control them, and they became ownerless ships.
And in the entire camp, only two ships were not smashed.
These two ships are not far from Yuan Xi, they are the escort ships of the main ship, and they are also the general ships of Yu Ban and Lejin.
Due to the chaos in the village, there is no way to fight back.
The enemy, who rushed from the south, soon approached the water village. Their goal is very clear, pointing directly at the generals who are forbidden and happy. Of course, Yu Ban and Le Jin were not on the ship, and they each led dozens of medium-sized ships to the east and in the direction of Guangling Port.
"Kill..."
Yuan Xi was flying around in the sky, and suddenly heard a broken drink. Looking at it, I saw a particularly handsome general dressed in white clothes and white armor, commanding the Jiangdong naval army, rushing towards the ship of Yu Ban and Lejin.
"This must be Ganning." Yuan Xi thought in his heart.
About forty small boats, marching in four formations, soon surrounded the two large ships, hundreds of soldiers took out iron locks, threw them on top of the big ships, hooked the deck, and then groups of soldiers climbed upwards. Their speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, some soldiers turned over and used the short knives they carried with them to fight against the Yuan army on the deck.
In hand-to-hand combat, Yuan's army was no match for the Jiangdong naval army.
"This..."
Yuan Xi looked stupid in the sky.
The skills of the Jiangdong Navy are really very athletic, and the speed of climbing the boat is extremely fast. Just using the rope, I crossed to the deck, and the cooperation with each other was also very tacit.
This allowed Yuan Xi to really see the strength.
The Great War did not last long ...
Two large warships, which were soon controlled by the Jiangdong Naval Army.
