Chapter 58 Huang Gongfu was martyred by death
Above the river, the two armies faced each other.
After Gan Ning received Zhang Yi's military order, he immediately sent Li Jun as the vanguard, forming a formation of fifteen large ships and going down the river. And he himself, after marshalling thirty large ships, immediately followed Li Jun's fleet.
Huang Gai and Sun He were the first to go up the river, and their fleet had already blocked the river near Niuzhu's camp. They didn't know why, Sun Quan would give them an order to defend Gan Ning and attack Dantu. Could it be that the assist has a hunch, and Ganning will come to attack?
But it's also possible to think about it, now that the sun is at sunset, it is also possible for Zhang Yi to send Gan Ning to Dantu to intercept Sun Quan going north.
However, Huang Gai didn't understand that Sun Quan had already thought about surrendering before, and he had to come out with both land and water troops. It makes sense to send a naval army to intercept Gan Ning, if Sun Quan wants to go north, he must definitely intercept Gan Ning in case Gan Ning blocks the river. But what's the use of sending Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai?
Sun He couldn't figure it out either. As an important minister of the clan, Sun He can be said to have grown up watching Sun Quan, but he still hasn't figured out what Sun Quan wants to do!
Just when they were still wondering, Li Jun's fleet appeared, looking at the fifteen big boats, Sun He also had some disbelief, how did Zhang Yi get so many big boats?
"Publicly, does this ship have any weaknesses?" Sun He couldn't think of how to defeat the big ship on the other side.
"If it is slow, it may be attacked by fireship." After Huang Gai finished speaking, he shook his head and said: "Zhou Gongjin and I discussed before that we wanted to burn these big ships, but Gan Ning was not fooled. Now we don't have a geographical advantage, and it's almost impossible to burn them. ”
"So what to do?" Sun He was not only a little embarrassed, "Is it still the war horse as usual?" ”
"What else if it's not as usual?" Huang Gai stood up, "I'll leave it to you here, I'm going to see if I can take down a big ship." ”
"You're too adventurous!"
"This is a chance to win!" Huang Gai jumped into the boat and sailed towards the front of the formation.
"Everyone obeys the order, prepares the hook and lock, and prepares to connect the strings and seize the enemy ship." Huang Gai wrapped the hook and lock as he gave a loud order to the surrounding boats.
Li Jun stood at the bow of the boat, watching the movements of the Jiangdong Navy Army, and knew their plan, "I want to take the ship!" How can it be as you wish? ”
"Order all ships to shoot only from a distance, and not to engage the enemy!" Li Jun asked the heralds to inform the ships.
"No!"
A water war is on the verge of breaking out! Li Junbu is tall, condescending, and quite advantageous. However, there are many ships in Jiangdong sailors, and the speed of the ships is very fast, and they can always get close to the big ships. Huang Gai's small boat was close to a big ship, and his ship was not small, but now it could be counted as a big ship's fighting ship. There are not many fighting ships in the Jiangdong naval army, it is too big, and there are even fewer shipbuilders who know how to build fighting ships.
And the big ship built by Meng Kang is several feet taller and wider than the fighting ship, as long as it is installed, it may knock over the fighting ship.
In general, a fighting ship is a command ship, but it can also be used as a ship to carry archers. The one that charges into battle is called a ship, also written as Meng Chong, and it is a ship loaded with melee soldiers, and it is covered with anti-arrows. Make a small opening in the edge of the ship, stab a spear from it, and destroy the enemy ship.
However, this kind of Meng Chong is not good at dealing with the big ship built by Meng Kang, because the ship built by Meng Kang is very thick and cannot be pierced at all. It is impossible to deal with a large ship with a fighting ship, because it is open above, and it cannot stop the arrows pouring down from it.
Therefore, Huang Gai now uses the fighting ship as Meng Chong. After approaching the big ship again, he personally led people to throw out the hook and lock on the big ship, and then climbed onto the big boat.
"The enemy is on board!" Some soldiers spotted Huang Gai and the others, and immediately rushed forward brandishing their weapons.
"It's finally up!" Huang Gai pulled out the ring head knife from behind, rushed up and kicked an enemy soldier, then swung it to cut down another enemy pawn, knocked another enemy soldier away with his shoulder, rushed to the side of the archer, and began to kill!
There was movement on this big boat, which also attracted Li Jun's attention, and he immediately ordered: "Lean over there!" ”
"How long will it take for General Gan to arrive?" Li Jun asked.
"There will probably be an hour!"
"Then another hour!" Li Jun said: "Let's rush over, don't let the Jiangdong Army take away the warship!" ”
"General, that seems to be Huang Gai?" A pro-soldier reminded, "I've seen Huang Gai before, and it should be him." ”
"Huang Gai!" Li Jun was overjoyed, he never thought that he would be able to get a big fish. "Quick! Hurry up! Knock that bucket ship out of the way for me! ”
"Boom!" Li Jun's boat slammed the fighting ship that hooked up on the big ship out, and most of the Jiangdong Navy that was still climbing up on it fell, and the others were also knocked down. Li Jun's big ship was fine, because he was prepared before the impact, so the soldiers quickly stood up and fired at the fighting ship.
"Get over there!" Li Jun shouted, and then he held a wooden plank and built a plank bridge between the two big boats.
Some of the soldiers also built a bridge, and then jumped up with Li Jun and jumped onto another big boat.
"Kill!" Li Jun led people to rush directly to the back of Huang Gai's department, and attacked Huang Gai back and forth.
Huang Gai was still fighting, but his own soldiers had already discovered that Li Jun was killing from behind, and immediately grabbed him, "General, you can't do anything, let's withdraw!" ”
Huang Gai looked back and found that there were more than twenty soldiers left under his command, while the other party still had nearly a hundred, and they were still jumping over from another big boat. What a failure! Huang Gai had no choice but to order a retreat.
Fighting while retreating, Huang Gai soon withdrew to the edge of the ship and wanted to jump onto the fighting ship.
"Huang Gai, where to go!" Li Jun pounced from behind, grabbed him and plunged down from the big boat and into the river.
When he arrived in the river, Huang Gai still wanted to struggle, but his water nature was not as good as Li Jun, and he was dragged down by Li Jun, and he couldn't move anymore with a cup of tea. For the sake of insurance, Li Jun stopped for a while before swimming up.
At this time, the rear of Gan Ning had arrived, and it was directly inserted into the Jiangdong Navy from both sides, because it was unstoppable down the river, and the Jiangdong Navy soon retreated.
Li Jun was rescued by a large ship, and Huang Gai's body was pulled up at the same time.
Gan Ning couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic when he saw that Li Jun had made such a great achievement, "I knew that Huang Gai was here, so I would have been a pioneer." ”
Li Jun said with a smile: "The general has a great merit in hand, why do you want to compete with me for this small merit?" ”
Gan Ning also smiled: "How can you do it? Killing the general is comparable to capturing the city, and the promotion of Brother Li is not far away! ”
