Chapter 390: Jedi Strikes Back
From the north bank of Changsha County to Fucheng, it is more than 300 miles away.
The vanguard army of Gan Ning, Cheng Lian, and Wei Xu walked for two full days and arrived at Jinsha Bay, which was sixty miles away from Fucheng. The topography of Jinsha Bay is different from other places, the river is narrow (only 200 meters wide), left and right are surrounded by mountain peaks, and there are many jungles.
There are countless terrains like this in Yizhou, and you can see it if you look up casually.
But before entering Yizhou, it was still extremely rare.
Cheng Lian and Wei Xu stood on the deck, enjoying the scenery.
Gan Ning came out of the cabin and said cautiously: "It is getting closer and closer to Fucheng, and it is very likely that it will be ambushed by the Shu army." The two generals should give the order to go down and prepare for battle in advance. ”
"General Gan is too worried. Liu Bei's army was very weak, and it was impossible to leave the village for sixty miles and fight against our army. Cheng Lian said confidently.
"Hahaha... That's right, that's right! ”
Wei Xu also didn't take Liu Bei's army seriously.
As soon as he thought that Fucheng was in front of him, and that the first and second divisions were about to win the first battle to destroy Shu, he trembled with excitement, and he couldn't wait to fly over immediately and celebrate with artillery fire.
Gan Ning glanced at them and said with some sarcasm: "The generals of your First Army, are they all a little... Arrogance (delusion)? The crazy ones don't even care about hundreds of thousands of Shu troops? ”
"Of course. How can Liu Bei's army be compared to ours? Cheng Lian said.
"Uh..."
Wei Xu heard a hint of sarcasm, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated: "Does General Gan look down on our First Army?" ”
"How dare you?!"
Gan Ning didn't answer Wei Xu's question directly, turned around and said, "You guys continue to enjoy the scenery." I went back to the cabin to rest, and when I got to Fucheng Water Village, remember to tell me. ”
"Okay."
Wei Xu responded.
Whoosh...
Burst!
Just when Gan Ning had just turned around and Wei Xu's expression had improved a little, countless arrow feathers were shot from the peaks on both sides of the river. Among them is a chest that is in the middle of Wei Xu.
"Ahh There is an ambush! ”
Wei Xu clutched his chest and screamed in fear.
Cheng Lian drew his sword to resist the flying arrow feathers, retreated to the female wall next to him, and shouted: "Don't panic, fight back immediately!" ”
Bang bang bang...
The soldiers on the ship leaned against the women's wall and opened fire on the enemy on the hill. Although it can shoot at the enemy's position, the fire network is too weak to suppress the enemy.
Burst!
Wei Xu was hit by another arrow in the chest, fell on the deck, and was dragged into the cabin by Gan Ning.
"Let you guys go crazy... Now you know the price of madness, right? also said that Liu Bei's army did not dare to go out of the water village, but unexpectedly, there was an ambush for a long time! Gan Ning couldn't help but say.
"You...!"
Wei Xu grinned hoarsely in pain.
Cheng Lian ran into the cabin and said hurriedly: "General Gan, can you speed up the voyage?" ”
Gan Ning glanced out the window and said, "The number of the Shu army is not large, and it is only because of the favorable terrain that they suppress us. It is necessary to return fire with artillery and regain the initiative on the battlefield! ”
"No, General Gan, our artillery is too heavy, and it is troublesome to load..."
"What if you sail fast and run aground? You should know that the water level in Jinsha Bay is very low, and just throw a few large rocks down to block the waterway. If the enemy can think of setting up an ambush here, can't he think of blocking the channel with boulders? ”
"This..."
Cheng Lian felt that what Gan Ning said was right, but he didn't know what he should do now. Because his army could not spread out on the warship, and there was no cover. There was no way to fight back. If this continues, the casualties will certainly be large.
Gan Ning glanced at Cheng Lian and said with a smile: "You should know by now that the new army is not omnipotent, right?" ”
"General Gan, don't talk about it anymore, think of a way." Cheng Lian is in a hurry.
"Report ,,,!"
At this moment, Gan Ning's personal soldiers ran into the cabin: "Governor, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, do you need to retreat first?" ”
"No, you don't."
Gan Ning instructed: "You find a few people to go to the top of the ship, use the shield as a cover, and wave the flag to the troops behind." Tell them that the enemy does not have many troops and that there is no need to panic. All the ships stopped, the artillery was concentrated, and the enemy counterattacked! ”
"No."
The soldiers acted according to Gan Ning's orders.
Cheng Lian said: "When the artillery is set up, our troops... How much is left? ”
"How much is left, how much is counted. This is the only way to deal with the enemy at the moment. If, as you say, sail at a high speed, and once it hits the rocks, the ship will have to sink. Our artillery was completely destroyed. What will you do to attack Yizhou? ”
After listening to Gan Ning's words, Cheng Lian's heart trembled.
He heard Gan Ning talk about the reef before, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed very fatal. Because half of the artillery of the First Army was in the 1st and 2nd divisions. If there is an accident with these two divisions (the artillery is gone), the difficulty of attacking Yizhou will be increased by more than a hundredfold, and at that time, he will become the sinner of the entire new army.
"Thank you, General Gan."
"Don't thank me." Gan Ning said: "We are people in the same boat, and if we don't fight well, I will also be punished." ”
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Cheng Lian no longer has the arrogance he had before.
Knock knock...
As the flag-whisperers passed orders to the troops behind, drums rang out in unison on hundreds of fighting ships. The red-coated cannons were driven up by the soldiers and aimed at the hills on both sides.
"Fire!"
Boom boom...
It took the soldiers half an hour to set up the artillery and shoot the shells out.
Due to the narrow terrain and the fact that they were fighting on the heights on warships, the soldiers had no experience. A full fifty shells hit the stone wall.
"The barrel is low, and then it is raised..."
Yu Can, the commander of the artillery regiment in charge of the command, estimated the distance and said: "Raise ten yards further, and the warship will turn one foot to the left..." ”
"Fire!"
Boom boom...
The soldiers who rowed the oars all cooperated with Yu Can's command and moved the warship to the left, and the soldiers who operated the cannons struggled to raise the barrels of their guns, aimed at the enemy on the mountain, and shot the cannonballs out.
This time it worked well, fifty shells were fired, killing more than a hundred enemies hiding behind the stones.
Yu Can was overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "Just like this, a few more rounds!" ”
Boom boom...
The sound of artillery fire continued.
After three rounds, the enemy's offensive was finally suppressed.
Groups of soldiers ran to the deck with assault rifles, increasing the frequency of attacks and forming a powerful network of fire.
Bang bang bang...
As soon as the enemy emerged, he was killed. It is useless to hide behind rocks and in the grass, and it will also be shot out by cannonballs.
The entire Golden Bay is like a boiling boiler, and the extremely violent atmosphere covers the whole audience. Let the soldiers hiding in the shadows suffer a devastating blow.
From the initial ambush war, it became a defensive battle.
