Chapter 519, Serial Warship
As soon as Lu Zhuo arrived in Chen County with his troops, the news of the defeat at the front came.
Detective Ma Fei reported, "The Lord Qi, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two generals, were ambushed at the Yingchuan Ferry, killing and wounding as many as 8,000 people, Zhang Fei's whereabouts are now unknown, and he doesn't know where to go!" ”
Guan Yu was lucky enough to retreat to the north shore, Zhang Fei was not so lucky, Zhang Fei couldn't resist Huang Zhong, so he had no choice but to flee in a panic.
In just one battle, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning hit the Xuzhou soldiers hard, and when he heard that the other party's lords would be Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, Lu Zhuo was not too surprised, he was not like others, he heard the bad news, and his face showed an incredible expression.
Lu Zhuo came through time, even if Huang Zhong and Gan Ning are not famous now, he doesn't dare to underestimate them, these two people are both generals with both civil and military skills.
Not to mention anything else, Gan Ning was full of courage, led people to bravely enter the Cao camp, and became famous in the first battle, Gan Ning only led more than 100 people, and dared to break into the Cao camp, and turned the Cao camp upside down. Rival! ”
General Ling Cao was killed by an arrow from Gan Ning, Gan Ning is a rare fierce general, as for Huang Zhong, the battle of Dingjun Mountain killed Xiahou Yuan, that year, the old general was already over the age of old, but he was still so brave.
After a while, Lu Zhuo waved his hand and said to everyone, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, tell Yun Chang, stay in place, and wait for my army to arrive at the ferry!" ”
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, he was a little surprised, Guan Yu was not in a good position, he lost so many soldiers and generals in one battle, and the lord did not blame him, it was really incomprehensible.
The next day, at noon, Lu Zhuo's army successfully arrived on the north bank of the ferry.
Lu Zhuo hurriedly ordered people to set up camp, and then urged the horse to come to the shore, looking at the opposite bank, the camp of the Jingzhou soldiers was in sight, the flag sails were waving, the cuffs were flying, and the two big flags in the center were particularly eye-catching, one wrote Dou Da Huang, and the other wrote Dou Da Gan, it was Huang Zhong and Gan Ning.
The number of soldiers in Jingzhou is small, with less than 10,000 soldiers, but there is no panic and anxiety in the face of the menacing Xuzhou army.
In particular, the Jinfan Battalion commanded by Gan Ning is even more upright and proud, although there are only a few hundred athletes, they are bold and fearless, and they are not afraid of any strong enemy.
Wow!
Seeing Lu Zhuo riding a horse on the opposite bank to look here, Gan Ning dragged a big knife and came to the shore, Gan Ning was eight feet tall, with a big waist and a round waist, a tiger body and a wolf waist, a stiff nose, thick lips, a body of bronzed skin, eyebrows obliquely inserted into the temples, a short beard, half-exposed arms, revealing muscles as high and bulging as iron ore, every move, exuding violent power, like a full fierce beast, at this moment, was staring at Lu Zhuo coldly, and even provocatively signaled with his eyes, "If you have the ability, cross the river!" ”
Lu Zhuo nodded appreciatively at Gan Ning, arched his hand at Gan Ning on the horse, said hello, and then rode back.
Gan Ning was very puzzled in his heart, and snorted, "This Lu Zhuo is notorious for being fierce, and it is really puzzling that he is so polite to me." ”
A man who dared to break into Jingxiang at every turn to slaughter the Kuai family and dare to order a bloody wash of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gan Ning didn't think that Lu Zhuo could be polite to people, and before they met, Gan Ning even felt that Lu Zhuo must be a fierce god.
Back to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Lu Zhuo gave an order to build a bamboo raft immediately, and asked Zhuge Jin to lead people to search for thick wooden planks in the homes of nearby people, even the sampans used by fishermen.
Xu Shu reminded, "Lord, you have to be careful, the last time Guan Yu crossed the river, he was killed by Gan Ning, this Yingshui River is so wide, our soldiers are not used to water at all, once the enemy makes trouble in the river, won't it be repeated?" ”
The current Xu Shu is still single-minded towards Lu Zhuo, and he doesn't realize what will happen in the future.
"Yuan Zhi, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, if we only use a small number of bamboo rafts to cross the river back and forth on the river, it will definitely give Gan Ning an opportunity, but what if we tie all the boats together with iron chains?"
"Huh? The lord wants to build a chain of warships. Xu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Lu Zhuo learned and applied Cao Cao's practices during the Battle of Chibi, there was no Huang Gai's bitter meat plan here, and there was no Zhou Yu's fire attack plan, once the ships were tied together, Lu Zhuo would immediately cross to the south bank in one go, and he believed that Huang Zhong and Gan Ning had no way to deal with it.
When the Iraqi returned from Gepo, they came to the ferry port, looked at the other side of the river, and saw that the north bank was full of people, a busy scene, and many rafts had been spread out on the river, almost completely covering the entire river.
Yi Yuan stroked his beard, and while looking at it carefully, he thought carefully, and suddenly, he was startled, and his body shook and almost fell into the river.
"Not good!"
The more Yi thought about it, the more bad it became, and he hurriedly went to Huang Zhong and Ganning to discuss.
"What did you say?"
Gan Ning's eyes widened fiercely, and he hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, went to the shore, and looked across the river, sure enough, although the warships of the Xuzhou soldiers had not yet been completed, they had begun to take shape, and many warships and bamboo rafts had been chained together.
Gan Ning frowned, returned to the handsome tent with a sad face, glanced at Huang Zhong and Yi Yuan, Gan Ning shook his head helplessly, "I have been on the river all the year round, I have never seen any scenes, I can't imagine that Lu Zhuo actually has such a big hand, once the warship is built, and then it will be completely tied, at that time, I am afraid that the entire Yingshui River will be completely sealed by them, such a battle, Gan has never seen it!" ”
Gan Ning's tone of voice seemed to have some admiration for Lu Zhuo.
Huang Zhong stroked his silver hair, thought for a while, and had no countermeasures, so he couldn't help but look up at Yi Yuan.
Yi is quite calm, calm, calm and calm. Yi said, "I came to consult with the two generals, the purpose is to tell the two generals that we can't hold this ferry at all. ”
Gan Ning interrupted Yi Zhi's words unconvinced, "Even if you can't hold it, you can't let Lu Zhuo underestimate it, my Jinfan Camp doesn't have a cowardly soft egg who is afraid of death and greedy for life." ”
Yi Ji shook his head, "General Gan's words are wrong, what I mean is not to let the ferry out in vain, but, when the time comes for the Xuzhou soldiers to cross the river, we deliberately show the enemy weakness, hastily resist for a while, and then pretend not to resist, and lead the Xuzhou soldiers to the Gepo area." ”
"Oh? Why is this, could it be that you still prepared an ambush in Gepo? However, we only have 10,000 soldiers around us, so how can there be other reinforcements? ”
Huang Zhong looked at Yi Zhi suspiciously, listening to the meaning of Yi Ji's words, as if he had prepared an ambush, otherwise he would never be so calm.
