Gan Ning was angry, really angry.

The foreign Lu Peng was so arrogant to look down on himself, a local hero, how could this make people calm, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Then as you wish, I will simply kill you directly this time, refer your head to Cao Cao, and go to him to get a real court reward, as for whether Cao Cao is a traitor or not, let it go to hell." ”

So he immediately sent a messenger again: "You go and tell Lu Peng that we will start a decisive battle in Taohuadang in 5 days." ”

This time there were too many messengers, and several people scrambled for it, after all, the guy was too cheap last time, although he didn't get food at Lu Peng's place, but he got a settling-in fee of 100,000 yuan for nothing, is this how he got rich overnight.

So after the second master, a guy came to Lu Peng's camp triumphantly, but Lu Peng didn't listen to his intentions at all, and directly pulled out his waist knife and cut him off, and then threw his head on the small boat that came, and said to the boatman who was already trembling with fear: "The last time I gave him Gan Ning was an ultimatum, an ultimatum understand, why do you come here to give me something to write a war letter to make an appointment, do you think you Gan Ning is who, the real dignified prince?" He also told me about the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, he has read too many books, he is a water thief, why do you read so many books? Isn't that a bad job? ”

There is a basis for Lu Peng to say this, Gan Ning was a good ranger when he was a teenager, gathered men and horses, armed with bows and crossbows, and did evil in the local area, forming a canal division to rob the ships and property, and was known as the Jinfan thief. When he was young, he suddenly changed his sex, stopped robbing, and became familiar with Zhuzi's self-comparison of well-educated people, and only with this did he blend into officialdom.

As a result, Lu Peng just revealed the old bottom of the family like this, which is really unkind to say.

Gan Ning saw the messenger's head, and was simply stunned by Lu Peng's capriciousness, this guy really has a thought, but from this point of view, this thing has no city, and a person without a city is easy to deal with.

And under his questioning, the messenger's boatman learned Lu Peng's words from him originally, at that time Gan Ning did not jump like thunder, but was even more happy, from this point of view, Lu Peng despised himself, in front of the two armies, despised the enemy of the other party, that is the rhythm of looking for death, very good, I can't ask for it.

Now Gan Ning has decided that he is no longer ready to surrender to Lu Peng, but is ready to take Lu Peng's head and go to Cao Cao to exchange for a generous bounty official.

Gan Ning once again convened an enlarged meeting of all the water bandits in the vicinity, informed him of his plans, and made his own promises, which made all the water thieves excited.

Originally, everyone was reluctant to send troops, that was because everyone was going to the Yangtze River to fight Lu Peng, and everyone had already learned how powerful Lu Peng was, and knew that if they were fighting the Yangtze River, it would be tantamount to suicide.

But now it's different, Lu Peng actually let the donkey kick in his head, and kept going into Taihu Lake to make appointments with himself, and he also chose the base camp of the mixed river dragon, which is now the base of the general alliance leader Xishan Island, the peach blossom swing decisive battle.

This person wants to find death, there is really no way, idiots generally let their side take advantage of the right time, place and people, so what else to say? Hit him a shit.

Especially now, Gan Ning has promised to divide according to the number of troops, if he is named the governor of the navy by the prime minister, then this time he will send the most troops, and he will promote him as his deputy, and so on, everyone will watch it.

So an early spoils distribution conference officially opened vigorously, you 200, I 500, he 10,000, everyone compares the weight, what should I do if there are not so many people? As the saying goes, there are not enough people for family members, so they pull people to fill the number.

It's just half a day later, the number of people everyone will report is 40,000, and there are 3,000 warships.

So, Gan Ning began to dispatch troops.

With an army of 40,000 in hand, Gan Ning was already confident of victory.

Lu Peng is still an outsider and is not familiar with the waters of the Yangtze River. After all, Lu Peng is a landlubber, unfamiliar with the harsh battlefield conditions of water warfare, Lu Peng is a bullshit literati after all, in order to show his scribe demeanor, he was stupid because of a very poetic peach blossom name, he chose the battlefield to fight in the water area that is absolutely dead to him and absolutely beneficial to himself.

This is really God wants you to die, and I can't stop it.

Since you want to die so much, then I will fulfill you, die in the hands of my hero, and your head can bring happiness to countless people, then you should be honored.

Since he has no less than 40,000 horses and ships in his hands, then give Lu Peng's only 2,500 horses and horses a Han Xin soldier to ambush on all sides, this time, it must be difficult for Lu Peng to fly.

The confident Gan Ning divided his 40,000 horses and 3,000 "warships" into ten routes, handed them over to the ten largest number of water bandits, and then numbered them from one to ten, and ordered, with his main force as the vanguard, to invite the battle in front of Lu Peng to attract the enemy, and the other nine roads were ambushed in the dense reeds, and prepared more fireships, once Lu Peng's battleship encountered shallow water and ran aground, the fireships immediately came out together, drowning Lu Peng's battleship in the sea of fire.

At this time, Lao Cheng's serious mixed Jianglong couldn't help but remind worriedly: "Chief scoop handle, your arrangement is very good, but our men and horses are ambushed in the reeds, now although the new reeds are dense, but last year's reeds are still dry, in case Lu Peng's house gives us a fire attack, then we will die and have no place to bury." ”

This is a real problem, of course, it is better to be careful.

Gan Ning affirmed the careful prudence of the mixed river dragon, but refuted him with reason: "Old hero, he saw the danger of our existence, but he forgot that if you want fire, you need fireboats, how can we give the enemy a chance to release fireboats?" ”

Another leader who participated in the naval battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River reminded with trepidation: "However, on Lu Peng's ship, there are powerful catapults, and the projection distance is long, once they drop fire oil bombs, then we will suffer a big loss." ”

This is the most terrible, at the beginning of the war, everyone was abused by the catapult, and they were burned into turkeys without touching the enemy warship at all.

Gan Ning refuted again: "At this time, it is the time when the grass grows and the eagle flies, and the fresh reeds are dense and boundless, even if Lu Peng's fire oil bomb is projected, it can't ignite." This is a fact, and there is no refuting it: "But for the sake of prudence, let the women and children in your hands have more quilts and buckets, and if there is a fire, put it out immediately." ”

Such an arrangement is equivalent to foolproof, looking at it this way, Lu Peng is dead this time.

Five days of time in a blink of an eye, people from all walks of life have gathered, Gan Ning with five hundred largest warships into a battle column, the flag covering a large area of the lake, for a time like a rainbow, Gan Ning stood on the tall building boat, staring at the entrance channel of the Yangtze River in Taihu Lake, for fear that Lu Peng would suddenly become smart and miss the appointment.

The patrol boats continued to report the whereabouts of Lu Peng's fleet in a line.

"Lu Peng's fleet has set up camp."

"Lu Peng's fleet has begun to move up the Shuojiang River."

"Lu Peng's fleet is already less than thirty miles from this entrance to the lake."

"Lu Peng's fleet has entered the channel into the lake."

"Lu Peng's fleet—"

There is no need to report, because Lu Peng's fleet has already rushed into Taihu Lake, and no one is directly rushing towards the peach blossoms.

Lu Peng's fleet did not run aground because of unfamiliar water, and Gan Ning was not disappointed at this point, because Lu Peng had already contacted Sun Quan and asked to send a few water guides.

Lu Peng's fleet came to Gan Ning's fleet, and instead of lining up in a horizontal line like the last time, it formed a huge crescent moon, almost close to the reed bank of the peach blossom half-moon line, as if it wanted to guard against some ambushes in the reeds.

The two fleets stood in front of Xishan Island, Gan Ning walked up to the bow of the ship, and was about to say something according to the rules, but on the big boat in the middle opposite, a young man without armor spoke first, and announced loudly to Gan Ning: "Jinfan thief Gan Ning, rampant on the Yangtze River waterway, kill the crew of my Youzhou caravan, rob the goods of my Youzhou caravan, I, Youzhou Mu, concurrently serve as the state affairs of the two states, the general of Zhenbei, the general of the hometown of Wuhuan, the Yihou Lu Peng will never allow the merchants under my rule to be martyred, and today I will make the decision for the people under my rule, and swear to the world, Whoever violates the interests of the people under my rule will be punished even if he is far away. ”

Such a declaration made the owner Li Changchang, who was standing beside Lu Peng, cry with excitement, and couldn't help shouting in his heart: "From now on, my Youzhou businessmen will be rampant in the world, and from now on, my Youzhou businessmen will no longer be humble." ”

After Lu Peng finished taking the oath, he didn't wait for Gan Ning to answer, and directly ordered loudly: "Kill the murderer with blood debt and blood, kill——"

With Lu Peng's order, the Lu Peng battleship in the front row immediately launched a catapult, and hundreds of fire and oil bombs rose into the air, drawing a beautiful arc and smashing into Gan Ning's fleet.

Such a clean and unreasonable move made Gan Ning shocked at the time, and before he could react, the fire oil bomb fell from the sky, smashing his head and covering his face, and in the blink of an eye, countless flames rose in the dense warship formation of Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, and they screamed again and again for a while.

As soon as the catapult's fire oil bombs stopped, the bed crossbow flew again with small fire oil bombs, igniting one brocade sail after another, and the flames seemed to burn into the sky.

Gan Ning's ship became the brunt because it was too gorgeous, and more than a dozen fire oil bombs smashed on his luxurious ship, and in the blink of an eye, his ship was burned into a sea of fire, and the minions who followed him were burned in a blink of an eye, crying dad and mother, and jumped into the Taihu Lake with fire and smoke.

Gan Ning was agile and dodged several fatal blows, but he was still splashed by the splashing oil oil, Gan Ning was wearing heavy armor, but the oil was also strange, splashing on his steel armor, it was still bubbling with a strange blue fire, his hands could not be extinguished, and the water could not be extinguished.

But fortunately, Gan Lin was stable, and he still held his banner and ordered the fireships that had been prepared long ago to launch an attack on Lu Peng.

Countless fireships loaded with reeds or sulfur had just rushed out of the reeds, ready to rush towards Lu Peng's warship, but they were greeted by the blow of the bed crossbow from a distance, and the grenades on the bed crossbow ignited the fire ship for them in advance in the blink of an eye, and the reed oil and sulfur on the fire ship burned with a bang, and in the blink of an eye, these fire ships were burned to ashes, and they could not reach Lu Peng's fleet at all.

Gan Ning was about to charge, but found that Lu Peng's blow suddenly changed, and he was resolutely blocking and burning himself, and on both sides of the crescent moon, the catapults on the warship close to the reeds started continuously, one after another, and threw them at the reeds on both sides like money, and these fire oil bombs exploded in those green reeds, bursting into flames one after another.

According to common sense, those turquoise reeds should not burn, but everything is so weird, those splashes of fire oil on the reeds, bubbling blue flames, burning violently, in the blink of an eye, the turquoise reeds will be scorched, and then with the burning, at the same time, dozens of hundreds of years of accumulation, the withered yellow reeds under the reeds also take advantage of the situation to burn, for a time, like a spark burning the plain, in the blink of an eye, the reeds on both sides will be burned into a sea of fire.

This is the so-called fire without wet wood, one after another reeds are scorched and dried, and then burned, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, the high temperature of the flame forms a huge hot dragon turn, flipped and tossed with the wind, everywhere it goes, all burned out, the huge heat, it seems to evaporate the water of this Taihu Lake, that is, the soldiers on the warship of Lu Peng, who are far away from the sea of fire, are scorched by the flames.

The fire was so big, so big that it was beyond everyone's expectations, when those soldiers watched a wall of fire expand rapidly outward, and involuntarily stopped the blow in their hands, Lu Peng shouted: "Don't stop, continue to throw fire oil bombs at me, burn, and make sure to make sure he is dark." ”

As a result, batch after batch of fire oil bombs flew out again, fueling the fire.

With the sound of whining and howling flames, the screams of the water thieves lying in ambush, the earth-shattering sound, one after another smoking ships rushed out in the sea of fire, but they were unfortunate, the fire was too violent, the fire burned out the air in the middle, so that the air on the periphery frantically replenished to the center, so that a huge return wind was formed, and those thief ships that had just rushed out, like rags, were once again sucked back into the middle of the sea of fire, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

And the surviving thief ships are even more miserable, the fire burned the air on the fire ground, forming a huge air vacuum, countless water thieves tried to open their mouths wide, scratching their throats, hoping to breathe some air, but their thoughts can only be a luxury, the air that is usually ubiquitous is now gone, no matter how hard they try, there is no air for them at all, so they struggle to suffocate to death.

Some clever water bandits saw this fire in the sky, and they turned over and jumped into the lake, but they were even more miserable, because the fire was so great that the big ones boiled the lake water, and the huge lake water was like boiling water in an iron pot, and everything that could be cooked was cooked, and those water bandits who jumped into the water struggled and screamed in the boiling water, and finally turned into broth and white bones.
