Gan Ning was silent, if he was Zhou Yu, facing Gan Ning's 150,000 sailors and this unprecedented ironclad steam engine warship, he didn't know what to do? Maybe Zhou Yu knew that Chu had a different warship, and if he knew that it was this kind of steam engine warship, then his pressure would be even greater. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I will choose to avoid its edge and look for enemy attacks where the enemy is weak." Gan Ning replied to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Then General Gan, where do you think our army is the weakest?" ”

Gan Ning pondered for a long time, did not speak, where is the weakness of his army, where is the weakness of this water division, he Gan Ning really doesn't know, a large amount of grain and grass, sufficient water, sufficient weapons, high morale, the best configuration of the military general group, the best configuration of the strategist group, Zhuge Liang's wisdom is even inferior to Ma Hong, and the wisdom of Fa Zheng is also recognized by Pang Tong Ma Hong and others. The combat effectiveness is so strong, well-equipped, and it is going down the river again. Occupying the right time, place, and people, what are the shortcomings of this army, he Gan Ning doesn't quite understand, and he doesn't think of it.

Fa Zheng said at this time: "An army like ours has no shortcomings from the outside, but sometimes things that seem to have no shortcomings from the outside can be found when looking at them from the inside. ”

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and said, "Fazheng, do you mean that Zhou Yu doesn't know about our situation, so he wants to send Zhu Huan to infiltrate our fleet and then find out the flaws in our interior?" ”

"I think so, but I don't know what Brother Kong Ming thinks?"

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said slowly: "What you said makes sense, what seems to be solid on the outside, but it is easy to destroy from the inside, according to example, a turtle with a hard shell, once it is reversed, then his weakness will be exposed, the goshawk eats the turtle, that is, the turtle is caught, and then falls to death and eats again." ”

"Do you both think so?" Gan Ning asked.

Fa Zheng nodded and said, "If Zhu Huan is really a fraud, then I think Zhou Yu has to do this." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "From Zhou Yu's starting point, he can't be defeated, once defeated, it is only a matter of time before Soochow goes to defeat; But for us, if we are defeated, it is a big deal to withdraw our troops in order to advance again, and this starting point is different. So from the very beginning, Zhou Yu's determination was stronger than my Chu army, so the path he chose to take must be a dangerous road, then he will do anything. What we have to do is that if we don't win, if we don't win, we win. ”

"Is it a win if you don't win? Then Zhu Huan has a hint of deception, we may be fooled, why don't I throw this guy into the Yangtze River to feed the fish now! Gan Ning slapped the ship's pole and said.

"Never, never!" Fa Zheng blocked the way.

"Why?" Gan Ning asked.

"Zhu Huan must not be killed, and we have to eat and drink well to him, even if he is a spy, if we kill him, then the generals and officials of Eastern Wu will definitely think that our Chu State is not honest and kill those who surrender, then they will definitely die and not surrender." Fa Zheng explained.

"So what?" Gan Ning asked.

Fa Zhengdao: "Send someone to monitor Zhu Huan and monitor his every move." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "No need, we can't let him feel that we are spying on him, let him feel that we trust him very much, and then wait and see!" If this is Zhou Yu's plan, there must be a back-up move. ”

The waves of the river were jumping, the water was flowing merrily, and instead of a few white birds skimming over the river, the steam engine warship roared forward and slowly advanced. Night is about to fall, the sun in the distance is slowly about to level with the river, Zhuge Liang stood on the deck, looking at this scene, remembered a poem that Ma Hong once said: The sea is born in the night, and the river spring enters the old year.

If you survive this night and there is no change, then it means that Zhu Huan has really surrendered, then Zhou Yu's internal chaos must be chaotic, this war is like this poem: The sea is born and the night is broken, and Jiang Chun enters the old year. The darkness is about to be dispelled by Hai Ri, and after this winter is over, the whole of Jingzhou will be included in the territory of Chu in the spring of the following year. At that time, the grain that grows in this land will be the grain of the Chu State, and the newly born people in this land will be Chu people.

It's just that now that the night is coming, is this night good? The answer has already come, Zhuge Liang saw a small black dot in the distance, it was twenty sailboats, Zhang Ren's eyes were good, he had already counted for Zhuge Liang.

"Inform the General and prepare him for battle."

Zhuge Liang said to Zhang Ren beside him.

Zhang Ren was stunned and said: "Military advisor, then Zhu Huan said that he came with twenty-one ships and came with one, so the twenty ships that came this time should be General Zhu Huan's!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Whether it is or not, tell General Gan Ning to prepare for battle!" ”

Gan Ning got the news of Zhuge Liang and immediately took the seriously injured Zhu Huan to the deck, at this time the oncoming wind was already blowing, and the five sailing ships accelerated and headed towards Gan Ning's troops.

Suddenly, the soldiers on the sailboat in the distance roared in unison three times, and Zhu Huan smiled: "General Gan, this is our joint code, that's my soldiers, that's my ship." ”

Gan Ning nodded and said, "I know." Then Gan Ning looked at Zhuge Liang.

Gan Ning didn't do anything, he didn't give an order, Gan Ning's warship was in the Chinese army, and the twelve ironclad steam warships in front of him suddenly rushed forward without Gan Ning's order, facing the twenty medium-sized sailing ships.

Zhu Huan was stunned, he didn't expect that Gan Ning's smoky warships could go so fast in the face of headwinds, and their speed was not inferior to that of sailboats sailing downwind.

"General Gan Ning, why are you doing this, that's my subordinate."

Zhu Huan said loudly to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning nodded and said, "I know, but I can't take this risk and let those ships approach my fleet." ”

The twelve ironclad warships were connected with iron locks, and they were moving forward quickly, and they had left Gan Ning's main fleet for at least three nautical miles, and it was impossible for the fire to burn over, and the iron rope would intercept the fireboats, and the fireships would not be able to rush over, Zhu Huan was desperate.

Wen Ping commanded twelve warships connected by iron cables, and the soldiers shouted for the twenty warships to stop, but the twenty warships had no tendency to stop.

Wen Ping gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Full speed ahead." ”

He Qi stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the warship connected by iron cables on the opposite side, and said to the soldiers under his command with trembling corners of his eyes: "Light the fire, sprint!" ”

"General, I'm afraid you can't rush into the enemy's ship formation."

He Qi gritted his teeth and said: "I know, send a signal to the Metropolitan Governor, tell him that the operation has failed, whether to send troops or not, it is up to him to judge, we will act according to the plan." ”

"Sons and daughters of Soochow! Listen to me and hit at full speed! ”

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The fireboat ignited, and the twenty fireships rode the wind into the sword and rushed towards the twelve ironclad warships of the Chu army!

Wen Ping shouted: "Full speed impact, catapult, prepare!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the Chu army's iron cable fleet led by Wen Ping traveled another nautical mile and approached the enemy ship that was set on fire. (To be continued.) )
