Chapter 1000: The Flying Tiger Comes Away
In the duel of the navy, there is a completely different characteristic from the army, they rarely go back to attack the opponent's water village, which is not as good as the land, and the location of the water village cannot play the role of holding the main road, which is one of them; The second is that you lack the effective means to attack the opponent's camp without too overwhelming superiority, and even if you outrank the opponent in naval forces, you can still get a steady stream of replenishment from the land. Based on this reason, the Yangzhou Navy in the face of the Flying Tiger Army, where the combat power of the warships is on it, under the premise that the military order of the Zhuge Army has not arrived, it is undoubtedly a very stable choice to stick to the strategy of waiting for changes, and it is undoubtedly a very safe choice to wait and see the changes, with the ability of Xu Sheng and Zhang Yun and the defense, they have done everything in detail, but after all, they still underestimated the strength of the Ganning Flying Tiger Army, it should be said that it is not underestimated, some changes are beyond their imagination, and the other party is going to subvert the rules!
In the early morning of the fourth day of the first month of February, the haze on the river has just dissipated and is not so thick, the Flying Tiger Army has already set up an attack formation on the water village of the Yangzhou Navy on the opposite bank, and the four warship formations with the "Aolong" ship as the core in front are spread out in an arc, and each formation is also a semi-circular formation, the "Jiaolong Ship" is in the forefront, and the "Sea Dragon" ship is mixed with more than 10 ships on standby, and this formation has 37 large and small warships, which is one of the changes in the Flying Tiger Army's water formation, which is specially designed to deal with the situation of operations on the river. Gan Ning's purpose is to ensure that each naval formation must have an independent combat capability, and that it must be able to independently complete all tactical actions on the river.
Thirty zhang above the river after the formation of the four naval forces, a giant battleship lined up behind, with a tall and thick mast erected on the broad deck, and a huge brocade sail fluttering in the wind, which was the terrifying Ganning banner on the Yangtze River waterway more than ten years ago! However, unlike that year, the brocade sail at this time is embroidered with a majestic flying tiger that seems to want to choose people and devour, this is the military flag of the Yan Army and the Navy today, in order to enhance the sense of honor of the Navy soldiers for the military flag, the Yan King also personally held a grand flag ceremony that day, which made everyone excited!
A team of soldiers under the Jinfan Flying Tiger stood in formation, even in the early morning spring breeze, they still showed half of their strong shoulders, ready to join the battle at any time, and the observation soldiers and flag soldiers on the three lookout posts at the highest point were also all in place, and a naval attack that had never been seen in the late Han Dynasty was about to begin! The spacious platform at the bow of the ship is one foot higher than the deck, and the second general of the Flying Tiger Army, Gan Ning, stands in the middle with a clairvoyant mirror, in addition to the generals of the Flying Tiger Army, Xu Huang, Zang Ba, Yan Liang, Liu Xin and other army generals are also impressively listed, they are all invited to watch the battle for Gan Ning, of course, these generals also have a lot of curiosity about the situation of the Flying Tiger Army.
Now that the Flying Tiger Army has come to the north bank of the river, the whole army of the Long Xiang Army and Yan Liang's Jizhou battalion of more than 10,000 elites are arrayed near the water village, and it is difficult to appear like the previous night attack, and there is no war in the army for the time being. The so-called "South Ship and North Horse", these generals are accustomed to the infantry and cavalry battle formations on land, and only have a vague understanding of this water battle, which is also an opportunity for them to learn.
But after all, there is a difference between land and water, and the wind and waves on the river are a little bigger today, and the first warship is Xu Huang Yan Liang, a fierce general who crosses the battlefield is a little shaken, in fact, Gan Ning's "Aolong" ship as the flagship is already the most stable warship on the water, and most of the performance of the army generals is still due to psychological reasons! You let them come and go in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, and you are not a good hand in this, but standing on the bow of the boat and seeing the magnificent scene of the Yangtze River surging and rushing away, it is slightly palpitating, although it is inevitable that you will encounter water to build bridges or even swim crossings in the infantry battle, but how can the rivers in the north be compared with the vast and majestic rivers that are rushing endlessly?
Among this team of generals, I didn't see the majestic figure that stood out from the crowd, but it was rare for him to leave Liu Xin, the reason was very simple, the big man was behind the boat at this time and was being helped by several Flying Tiger sergeants to vomit, and he was extremely powerful, and he also had seasickness! Liu Xin was extremely concerned about it, and when he saw the smile of the second uncle, he also put his mind at ease, everything has to have a familiar process, and he himself looked at the rolling river and was not a little dizzy? As for the Flying Tiger sergeants, these situations are commonplace, and the crimes they suffered at sea back then were even greater, almost eating and vomiting, it is unbearable to look back on, no one will underestimate this giant man because of this! After a battle with the tiger idiot Xu Chu, Zhao Wuxian is also famous in the Yan army, and in this night battle, he retired from Wenpin and joined forces with the second son to fight Guan Yu made him famous!
"In the water war, the method of attacking the village is unprecedented, and it is said to be a useless way! But my Yan Army Flying Tiger is the elder brother's heavy water division, how can it be the same as before, this time I came to the first place, today let the Yangzhou Navy see the bravery of our army, and the generals will wait and see! Oh, this tea is made by Mrs. Gan, and it has a miraculous effect on the water, you can drink it! At this time, the warship formation in front was making final preparations, and Gan Ning could see it clearly through the clairvoyant mirror, and at this time he took his eyes off the clairvoyant mirror and said that the left and right generals were on the left and right, and there were already guards who sent hot tea to the army generals, which seemed to have a medicinal taste, so Xing Bafang wanted to explain.
From the performance of these army generals on the warships, it can be seen that the people of the Northland are not adapted to the water, which is caused by the region and is also the key to the difficulty of the Flying Tiger Army to grow too much for a while! The difficulty of training sailors and soldiers in the north is much higher than that in the south, and the second general, who is entrusted by his brother, is also racking his brains, and his good wife, the poison king Wang Xinran, has also contributed a lot of overflow to her husband, and this antidote is one of them, which is extremely effective for the initial adaptation of the soldiers.
"Second son, I have already sent it to Captain Zhao, don't worry." Hearing that this thing came from Wang Xinran's hand, Xu Huang and the others took it without hesitation and drank it all, the second general's wife in Yandi was a great name, and it was by no means under the divine doctor Hua Tuo, not only "to the defilement pill" for the benefit of all the people, but also to work together with the Chinese divine doctor to provide a lot of internal and external drugs with excellent curative effects for the Yan army soldiers, such a strange woman who does not respect each other, let alone the good wife of the second general Gan Ning. Seeing that the second son immediately looked at the back of the boat after receiving tea, a guard said softly, and he also knew what Liu Xinzhong cared about, and now Zhu Wuxian has just been promoted to the position of captain, and he is still above Liu Xin, and everyone has no opinion on this, he has this qualification to play with the tiger idiot Xu Chu, and the warrior will always win the recognition of the soldiers in the army.
"Report ...... Commander Xu, Commander Zhang, outside the water village, the Ganning Flying Tiger Army came in formation, and it was only dozens of zhang in front of our army village! "The Flying Tiger Army's actions are dignified, and it is impossible to make much concealment on the river, and the lookout soldiers in the Yangzhou Water Army Village have already seen the enemy coming, although they don't know why the Yan Army is coming, it is necessary to report to Xu Sheng and Zhang Yun as soon as possible!
"Oh? Coming so quickly, how many ships does the enemy have, and who will come? In the tent, Xu Sheng was discussing the defense of the water village with Zhang Yun, and when he heard this, he raised his head and asked, in his concept, Gan Ning must have come here to instigate, so as to increase the morale of the Flying Tiger Army. If it is changed, it is the Jiangdong Naval Army, although it is necessary to hold on to it, but Xu Sheng may not have the heart to fight with him, it must be known that the two armies can also fight on the water, and when it comes to this, Xu Wenxiang has always been full of confidence in himself, of course, Gan Ning is an exception, and he is probably not the opponent of this person when fighting on the water, so why give him a chance, but if it is not Jinfan himself, he will have to make a move.
"Report, there are more than 100 enemy warships, including dozens of "Sea Dragon" and "Jiaolong" two ships, and there are even huge warships that show the Japanese situation on the day, and the enemy is quite scattered this time. The messengers said one by one, they have been in the camp for a long time, and their eyesight on the river is absolutely superhuman, even if the haze has not completely dispersed, they can see the opponent's attack formation clearly.
"Hehe, the virtual is real, the real is virtual, others are not too late to cover up their own combat power, this Gan Xingba did the opposite, but only with the benefit of the warship, I want to show off my martial arts before my Yangzhou Navy Jinfan also looks at me as small, since he is here today, he must not be a little thin with it, General Zhang has always said that he wants to see the Flying Tiger Army in person, this is a good opportunity!" Hearing that Gan Ning came in person, Xu Sheng couldn't help but dispel the idea of going to war, in his opinion, Xingba's move was to highlight the advantages of the Flying Tiger Army, improve the morale of his own side, and at the same time put pressure on the Yangzhou Navy soldiers, but since he had already made up his mind to stick to the strategy, he was naturally prepared for this, and said to Zhang Yun opposite with a slight smile at the moment, and he had a lot of respect for this senior of the Navy Army in his words.
Fighting side by side with Gan Ning in Yangzhou that day, Xu Sheng was extremely appreciative of his people, of course, the two sides were already enemies at this time, and this person was the most terrible enemy! Zhang Yun was appointed by Liu Bei as the deputy commander of the navy after coming to Yangzhou with his son Liu Qi, at first he did not let Xu Sheng pay too much attention to his appearance, of course, he still had to treat each other politely out of the explanation of the main princess army, but soon Zhang Yun won the respect of Wen Xiang with his pragmatism and incomparable proficiency in the practice of the navy. In particular, the training of soldiers is more strict and has a unique method, and Xu Sheng is also admired for its subtlety, it can be said that there is also a lot of hard work by Zhang Yun in this Yangzhou naval army, and the other party's attitude of being dedicated to the public and not hiding selfishness in the two of them has benefited Xu Sheng a lot, so he attaches great importance to the opinions of this senior.
"Flying Tiger Army, Jinfan thief, today Zhang also wants to see what kind of majesty Gan Xingba has not seen for more than ten years? Wen Xiang, hearing your words, the method of Ganning's water war has not been unfamiliar because of not coming to the river for a long time, the Northland Navy has more equipment, and our army can't stick to it is a good strategy to deal with it, but it can't be taken lightly because of this, especially Wen Xiang, you must not fight because of Ganning's instigation, this water fight is Jinfan's strength! The naval army here is extremely heavy on the lord, and before the military order is clear, you and I should not seek merit but no fault! Hearing the name of Gan Ning, Zhang Yun's eyes flashed with fierceness, but then he became calm as before, he usually didn't like words at this time, but he was speaking eloquently, which shows that the atmosphere of the big war made him different from usual, and he was more cautious.
"The general can rest assured, when Yangzhou was in the first battle, he had seen the ability of Ganxing to dominate the army and the courage of water warfare, and at this time, the Flying Tiger Army was in full swing from afar, and Sheng would never give him this opportunity! General please! Xu Sheng said with a straight face when he heard this, Zhang Yun also bowed his head slightly, he also admired this young and promising general in his heart, and he was more relieved to see that he had a calm atmosphere when he was about to fight, and immediately went to the water village with him!
