The sky is full of stars, scattering a little starlight, and on the dark river surface, with the rolling of the waves, it reverses a little bit of sparkling light. The boat travels on the river, as if in the realm of Mithril, riding the wind and about to rise, not like the world.

This is supposed to invite three or five friends, pride and indulgence, drive a flat boat, roar proudly between the rivers and lakes, and be comfortable in the realm of the sky, so as to live up to the beautiful scenery of the moonlit night of the spring river. It's a pity that at this moment, the people on the river don't seem to have such a mood.

As the overlord of Jingxiang water, Huang Zu, the general who led 10,000 soldiers in the water army and sat on one side, didn't know how long he hadn't felt this kind of grievance. Just now, a junior colonel in the army came to report, just now, he focused on the whereabouts of the Jiangdong Navy fleeing big ship, so even if he encountered a round of arrow rain, he still didn't pay much attention to the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, who actually led his soldiers to use a few small ships, taking advantage of the night, relying on the maneuverability of the ship, to attack the rest of the ships except for the flagship where Huang Zu was.

Shameless! Huang Zu didn't know if he was frightened when he heard this, or if he deliberately lowered his voice to report the approximate casualty figures of each ship in order not to cause turmoil in the army, and immediately felt that his chest and abdomen were like a cloud of ignorant karma burning his heart and lungs. It stands to reason that a general like Huang Zu, who is also a battle-hardened general, should not have been disturbed by the casualties of more than 300 people. But the problem is that this time, in order to win Su Fei's trust and take advantage of Su Fei's friendship with Gan Ning, Huang Zu only brought ten fighting ships, and the warships were no better than the transport ships, which carried troops, but also carried various combat equipment and spare arrows, crossbows and other military resources, so each ship was only 200 people except for the auxiliary soldiers who rowed at the bottom of the warehouse. That's it. Or the highest number of people to bring at the expense of the highest speed. Therefore, the casualties of more than 300 people are equivalent to one-eighth of the soldiers led by Huang Zu this time, which is more vivid. It's like losing a ship before the war starts. What is especially hateful is that this is pure casualty! In other words, the casualties of the water thieves led by Gan Ning, who is on the other side, are not yet known, and there is even no guarantee that in the disorderly counterattack under the carelessness of this army, the casualties of Gan Ning's men will not be embarrassed by zero casualties. The battle has not yet been fought like this, no wonder Huang Zu will be thunderous.

The Lord will be angry like this. Although the soldiers below were suspicious, it did not cause any bad impact after all, after all, the ratio of troops was there. These Liu Biaoshui generals, who are usually bullish and coaxing, will not think about the competition against Gan Ning, the leader of the water thieves, and they are still in the battle after the other party fled in a hurry and was chased and killed by their own sergeants and had to return to the end. His own side would suffer such a big loss. Thus although surprised by Huang Zu's reaction. But for Huang Zu's military order, a group of naval generals on the flagship still agreed in unison.

Liu Biao's water army can be called the overlord of the Jingxiang water army, in fact, there are quite a few brushes, after Huang Zu's military order was issued, almost at the next moment, although the people of the water army who were shaken by Gan Ning's several sneak attacks still carried out the military order in a very timely manner. In fact, he was also killed by waves of arrows that would be shot in the darkness without knowing when, waiting to fight back. But it was because he couldn't find any trace of the attacker and was disturbed, except for Liu Pan's pioneer ship, which took the lead. The nine fighting ships, including Huang Zu's flagship, also ordered to speed up their speeds, and it is unknown whether they had the idea of avoiding the sneak attack of Gan Ning and others.

However, Huang Zu obviously underestimated Gan Ning's determination to show his face in front of Qin Xu this time, and Liu Pan really ignored the combat power of the big ship where he dared to "block the way" in front of him. Just when the Huang Zu warship, which was five or six miles away, began to speed up, intending to rush straight over to get rid of Gan Ning's "harassment", Liu Pan also ran into trouble.

"General, the ship on the opposite side is motionless, are you stupid when you see the strength of our soldiers?" The Jiangdong Navy warship where the same recruit is located has been deadlocked for a long time, and even Liu Pan began to doubt what he was worried about before, the idea that he wanted to use the strategy of virtual and real to lure himself into attacking rashly, is it really a little suspicious. On the big river in the distance, in front of his own ship, except for some light on the warship where he was leading, it was all dark under the starry sky, and there was half a shadow of the Jiangdong Navy. Water battles are no better than land battles, and here is a straight road, although the visibility is not high because of the sky, but at least the situation within the range of the bow and arrow is still clearly visible. Therefore, after receiving the signal from Huang Zu urging the march, Liu Pan had the bottom in his heart, even if he ordered to rush forward, he would take a moment to see what the other party was selling.

"Don't talk cool things! If Lu Bujun can get to the point where it is now, where will the soldiers under his command be easy to mess with? Be careful! Liu Pan is also wondering, his ships have already reached the range, it stands to reason that if the other party is really trying to break the queen, if he does not launch an attack at this time, then after the fighting ship that is a whole circle larger than him in terms of "tonnage" and the soldiers on board is close to it, the result is not easy to say for the other party. Could it be that the owner of the other party's big ship is still trying to use more than 100 landlubbers to compete with 200 elites of the Jingxiang Naval Army in water warfare? Liu Pan even looked forward to seeing his own side kill the Quartet in a while.

"Something is wrong! Checkmate! You see, on the other party's class A, although there seems to be a human form, there has been no movement for a long time, and there are one hundred and ten people, how can it be so quiet, could it be that the other party is an empty boat, just tied up some straw men to fool me? "Getting closer and closer to the boat where the recruit is, but there is still no movement, not to mention Liu Pan, even the soldiers around him have subconsciously relaxed their vigilance, and when they got closer, the soldiers in charge of the lookout noticed that the human figures in yellow clothes and red armor were half-squatting on both sides of the side of the first class boat, and with the shaking of the boat on the water, they were motionless.

"Huh? What the? I see! Liu Pan listened to the soldier's report, and his heart was also shocked, and when he condensed his eyes to look at it, he was temporarily relieved in his heart, and believed the soldier's "speculation" for seven or eight points. No wonder, no wonder! If this is the case, Liu Pan thinks that if he thinks about the few doubts that have just arisen in his heart, there is a reasonable explanation for the strange behavior of the Jiangdong Navy before. It must be these people who knew that they were invincible to the Jiangdong naval army led by them, so they took the risk and used such tricks and Gan Ning's sneak attack to win the time for the army to escape! It must be so, a trace of heat flashed in Liu Pan's eyes!

At the cost of one ship, and the lives of hundreds of people who were just thieves and newcomers before, in exchange for more than ten ships that were already extremely scarce war equipment for Jiangdong, in Liu Pan's view, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal to lose money. If it were him Liu Pan, of course he would make such a choice. It's just a pity that this credit is a lot smaller, and I can't say that I have to be shared by Huang Zu's family, so that the plan to make a splash in front of Liu Biao will be postponed a little later. This is the reason why Liu Pan is unhappy.

"Will ...... Checkmate...... How could the straw man on the boat still move? "Maybe it's because of the preconceived idea, after the lookout sentry mistakenly thought that the soldiers of the first battalion who maintained a half-kneeling posture on the ship where the lead was held were straw men who were trying to confuse people, Liu Pan's vigilance was greatly reduced, and even if he ordered the auxiliary soldiers of the bottom warehouse to speed up, so that before Huang Zu's ship arrived, at least he had to take the bulk of the credit. As soon as he got closer, someone pointed to the soldiers who were moving on both sides of the ship on the opposite side, and shouted in horror.

"Not good! Hit the trick! In fact, there is no need to be reminded at all, when the lights of the ship he is on can clearly shine on the opposite ship, Liu Pan has already noticed that something is wrong. Straw man? Who has ever seen a straw man hold a crossbow of arm's length? In front of the crossbow, under the light of the lights on his own ship, the crossbow bolt emitted a cold and cold light, even if he was blind, he knew at this moment that it was not fake. What two hundred straw men, this is clearly two hundred enemy soldiers holding in their hands a big killing weapon that is not a good thing at first glance! Now Liu Panfu suddenly understood why the ship stopped here and didn't move. This kind of Jiangdong warship, fully loaded with 150 combatable troops, is quite good. And two hundred sergeants appeared on this ship unusually, obviously, sacrificing the "position" of the paddling auxiliaries at the bottom of the cabin, as a deadly bait, the purpose of which was to catch him Liu Pan, a big fish that rashly bumped into him to find death!

"Quick! Hurry back! Liu Pan's first reaction after being stunned for a moment was to hurriedly lie down and hide most of his body behind the thick arrow shield. On this ship, no one knows better than Liu Pan that such a close distance, coupled with the kind of crossbow in the other party's hand, if you want to rush over, not to mention whether it will succeed, just these two hundred people, I'm afraid it won't be enough for someone to shoot a round. And now all Liu Pan can do is to save his old life first, wait for most of Huang Zu's fleet to arrive, and use the absolute superiority in numbers to kill these damn Jiangdong soldiers.

"Boy! Your family has been waiting for you for a long time! Hide, stay! I have to say that Liu Pan's ideas and timely military orders are indeed a good way to get out of this predicament. It's just a pity that because of Gan Ning, he has long been holding back his anger, together with the two hundred soldiers who stayed in the camp first, where would he let go of Liu Pan, who had spent so much effort to easily lead the bait! Especially among these first dead soldiers who stayed to meet the enemy, but half of them had experienced the humiliation of being taken away by Gan Ning, and now Gan Ning led hundreds of Jinfan thieves to dare to go deep into the rear of the enemy's army. Not to mention that the soldiers of Liu Biao's army in front of him were the only opportunity to reduce his guilt and embarrass the main general a little before meeting Qin Xu. Not to mention that in order to wait for these people to get close and maximize the power of the first crossbow, their own group of people waited motionless for half an hour, seeing that the duck was ripe to the mouth, where would people run away so happily?
