Chapter 866: Victory in the First Battle

If the Xuzhou Navy behaved a little more powerfully, and the combat power of the Ganning Army was really as strong as the legend, Lu Dai thought that he would definitely have to face a tough battle. But look at the appearance of Xu Sheng's army, where does he have the ability to attack back and forth?

On the one hand, Lu Dai gave people a warning, urging Deng Dang to completely defeat Xu Sheng's army and collect his troops as soon as possible to rush back to help the battle, and on the other hand, he commanded the fleet to turn and prepare to meet Gan Ning.

"Dinggong is good at everything, but he is too cautious and careful."

After receiving the news delivered by Lu Dai, Deng Dang sighed regretfully, "Jingzhou is fighting in the country on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has been repeatedly defeated by our Jiangdong Army, and the morale of the chalk team has long fallen to the brink of collapse, how can there be any fighting spirit?" That Gan Xingba is also a good trick, so he has the so-called reputation of breaking through the thirteen passes in a row and being invincible. ”

"That's what the general said. Even if the rumors are true, then Gan Ning is better at night fighting, and it is not noon at the moment, how can he have a chance to take advantage of it? What's more, the ships he first had, and now I'm afraid that there are only two or three percent left, and with other ships, no matter how strong the adaptability is, it is impossible to be as handy as the ships that he is used to. ”

"At the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Min yet, so Gan Ning is just a waste of fame, where can it be called a strong crossbow? The general doesn't have to deal with it, and first completely defeat Xu Sheng'er so that he can't do harm. ”

Several generals chimed in.

How strong Gan Ning is, they don't care at all, the Jiangdong Navy is the first in the world, although it is not the main force, but there are enough people gathered to have 3,000 people and more than 200 ships. Even if the troops are divided, the ships on Lu Dai's side are more than three times that of the Jinfan thieves, and it is impossible to lose no matter how they fight.

Of course, Gan Ning's side must be more tricky, not as easy to deal with as these local chickens and dogs brought by Xu Sheng.

Everyone likes to pinch soft persimmons, anyway, when they remember their merits in the future, they will look at the head, prisoners and captures, of course, Gan Ning is not as happy as Xu Sheng, and there are more military merits.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Gan Ning really broke through Lu Dai's blockade against the sky, and even defeated Lu Dai, he would have nothing to do with his own general.

Although Xu Sheng was very tenacious, when the whole army collapsed, he also gathered twenty or thirty ships and fought and retreated, but the rout was already achieved, even if Sun Wu was reincarnated, it was impossible to reverse, at most it was just to save some face. It won't be long before he doesn't retreat with the team, there will be only one way to die, and then everyone will return to fight Ganning again.

Isn't the incompetence of friendly forces just the right way to show their strength? On this point, Deng Dang and his subordinates were unanimous.

"Big brother can't chase anymore, that Xu Sheng is menacing, but it is so easy to retreat, you must guard against fraud!"

Deng Dang's heart was very happy to hear the support of the people's words, and he was smiling his beard, and was about to make a concluding speech, when he suddenly heard a discordant voice. He frowned tightly, the speaker's voice was familiar to him, and that was why he didn't immediately scold the other party, but the inopportune speech did ruin his good mood.

"Ziming, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you came to our army privately, your mother-in-law and your sister don't know, and you don't have to be punished when you go back, you are still talking nonsense in the army, at a young age, you must also guard against laughing and being generous!"

"But ......"

"I know, you mean to say that Xu Sheng may be luring the enemy, but even if we fall for the trick, what can he do? This is Jiangdong, not Hebei, the whip of the Qingzhou Navy is beyond the reach, even if it comes, I will pursue it with the whole army, what can he do to me? It must be known that the soldiers under a certain command are the elite of Jiangdong, not Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Zhang Yang, who are not familiar with water warfare at all. ”

For his brother-in-law, Deng Dang is still very restrained, after all, it is his own family, although he is young, it is worth looking forward to. He is a veteran general in the army, and he has fought for decades, how can he get carried away and not watch out for the other party's schemes?

The significance of this battle is not to intercept Gan Ning and not let Wang Yu get his wish, this battle is the first head-to-head confrontation between the Jiangdong Army and the Qingzhou Army! Winning this good start and sweeping away the bad luck since the Yicheng Covenant War will be of great benefit to both his reputation and the improvement of his status in the eyes of his lord and colleagues.

This battle is not only to win, but also to win beautifully, and the most beautiful way is naturally to annihilate it all!

The eldest brother was reasonable, but before leaving, Zhou Dudu also said...... "Lu Meng is ordinary, and he can't argue with his brother-in-law, so he simply moved out of Zhou Yu."

"The general is outside, and the king's order is still unacceptable, let alone the governor?"

Deng Dang's face sank, "If there is really an ambush in Qingzhou, why don't you kill it with Xu Sheng, at least you can be strong, this big river has a wide field of vision, you can see it at a glance, isn't it superfluous to set up an ambush?" You are young, you need to see more, listen more, and talk less...... Okay, needless to say, go ashore and watch carefully how the army breaks the enemy, understand? ”

Seeing that Xu Sheng was retreating faster and faster, Deng Dang didn't care about talking to his brother-in-law, so he waved his hand directly, ordered someone to take Lu Meng away, and commanded the army to chase after him.

The credit for the general, he is going to decide!

……

"This is the receiving force?" Gan Ning touched his chin, smashed his mouth, and was speechless.

Along the way, he still admired the careful arrangement and heavy response of the Qingzhou Army, and he was able to bypass the heavy troops in Xiakou in advance, which was the credit of the Intelligence Department for providing information in advance and sending people to guide the way. In the later journey, he also relied on the accurate information of the Intelligence Division, and he was always able to detect the enemy's interception in advance, either evade it, or break through at night to complete the breakthrough.

However, seeing that it is the last link, this situation is obviously a little wrong.

I didn't even get a complete picture of the receiving force, and the information provided by the Intelligence Department was that there was no way forward, and there were pursuers behind, but the receiving force would definitely provide strong support...... Isn't this going to be a strong support right now?

"Probably right?" Li Shiyi was not very sure, he saw Xu Sheng's general banner, the latter's position in the army, unless Zhang Jaw supervised the army behind, otherwise it should be the main force. However, he also knows very well that there are not many naval armies in Xuzhou, and it is not necessarily how to loot and piece together to be able to make up such a scale, and it is normal that he can't beat the Jiangdong army.

"Should it be?" Gan Ning shook his head and said depressedly: "Let's say so, what should we do now?" To rush or not to rush? It's no problem to rush, but in front, there are only a few ships left, and now it's daytime, there will definitely be no way to defeat so many ships in front of me, and when the time comes, there will be a chaotic battle, and those people in the cabin will not be able to ensure safety......"

“…… Then wait! Li Shiyi thought for a moment and said categorically.

"Wait?" Gan Ning looked back, the expression on his face seemed to be a smile: "Are you sure?" There are chasing soldiers in the back, but as you said, even if there are no chasing soldiers, when the front divides the victory and defeat and turns around, our chances of winning will be even lower. I'm not worried about myself, but this mission ......."

Li Shiyi replied calmly: "General Gan, please rest assured that the mission has failed, and there is a final general in front of the lord." ”

"Smack!" Gan Ning raised his hand and patted Li Shiyi on the shoulder, with great strength, and patted the latter with a stagger, only to see him say with a smile: "Brother Li, you are good, responsible, and a character!" Just listen to you, wait for the time of a stick of incense, it's really not good, and you can only abandon the ship and land, it's no problem to protect at least Pang Degong and Chengyan Gong. ”

Li Shiyi bared his teeth and nodded, how can these ruthless people in the Heart Dao Army like to pat people on the shoulder, and they are not light or heavy, I don't know if others will hurt?

Enduring the pain, he looked up and looked downstream, and found that just as he was speaking, Deng Dang's fleet pursued Xu Sheng, but he had just turned a river bay and could not see it.

To say that there is no panic in the heart is definitely false, but since the lord has sent a message saying that he will send a strong receiving force, it will not be wrong.

Li Shiyi is full of confidence in his father-in-law, even if he looks at it in this situation, he can't see that there is a turnaround.

"Collapse! Collapse! Collapse ......" At this moment, he vaguely heard a familiar voice, and when he looked up, he found that Gan Ning and the leaders of the surrounding Jinfan thieves also had shocked faces on their faces. The hearing of this group of people is not ordinarily good, Li Shiyi's heart is beating violently, this is not his own delusion!

"Boom! Boom! ......After a while, another sound sounded at almost the same frequency, which made Li Shida excited.

"What's that sound?" Gan Ning asked suspiciously, "Was the bowstring playing sound before?" Is there such a powerful bow? The one in the back is also very strange, it seems that something has smashed into the board of the ship, and the sound of the board of the ship has been broken...... Hey, there are still people screaming, and many people ......"

"It's reinforcements arriving! It's the Navy coming! Li Shiyi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted loudly.

"Navy ......" Gan Ning wanted to ask again, but heard a loud shout from the mast: "See, it's the banner of our Qingzhou Army, it's a ship, it's a big ship!" There's a big crossbow on board! ”

Gan Ning raised his head sharply, and saw where Deng Dang's fleet was going, and where it was retreating, but when he was chasing, it was smooth and fast, but when he came back, he was going against the current, which seemed very difficult. However, their real calamity did not come from the river, but from the black light that carried a huge wind and power!

From Gan Ning's point of view, he couldn't see where the black light came from, but he could see its power clearly. The black light accurately smashed on the ship of the Jiangdong Navy and swept over the deck, and it was a group of people turning on their backs, shooting on the cabin or on the side of the ship, and it was immediately a big hole.

The Jiangdong Navy also had building ships, but most of them followed the main force to attack Jingzhou, and the blocking troops were mainly ships. The black light should be the arrows fired by the big crossbow that the lookout said, which is extremely powerful, and the slightly smaller ones can only resist two or three arrows at most, and the unlucky ones can even be sunk by one arrow, even if it is a big ship, it can't resist a round of shots.

Gan Ning saw with his own eyes that a ship similar to his flagship was hit by more than ten crossbow arrows at the same time, and it was directly overturned.

"What kind of magic weapon is this, it's a little too strong, isn't it?"

"I saw it, I saw it, it's really a big ship!"

"My hussars are mighty!"

Gan Ning's subordinates are not very old, their emotions are easily fluctuating, and they were almost desperate and very depressed a moment ago, but at this moment, they saw the power of the ballista with the sea boat, and immediately cheered.

Amid their cheers, Dundown's fleet collapsed, and a large, strangely shaped ship turned across the river and appeared in front of everyone.

The cheers and screams grew louder and louder.

"This is our navy in Qingzhou?" Gan Ning pointed to the galleon in the distance, and asked in disbelief, feeling like he was in a dream: "Brother Li, you said that the lord wants to worship me as a navy admiral, and the commander is such a fleet?" ”

Li Shiyi laughed and said, "Exactly." ”

"That, that's really ......" Gan Ning shook and suddenly tilted, "Bang! "I fell on the deck. Li Shiyi was startled, and when he hurriedly looked, he found that Gan Ning was still in the posture he had just now, just raising his hand with a very happy expression on his face.
