Chapter 314: Rewards
This naval division was led by Gan Ning himself, and the remaining ships and special warships were all brought, as well as ten high-grade warships, loaded with boulders and spears, seeing that the enemy had forcibly boarded the warship, and the officers on his own side on the enemy ship had also been brought back, he immediately turned around and attacked the enemy ships with all his strength, and the targets were those that were not covered by flames, and the warships that the enemy wanted to drive away from the ferry were the first to be hit.
"Quick, go and bring all the catapults and ballistas in the camp, go." Wen Ping suddenly had an idea, the deputy general behind him immediately ran back to the camp, organized people to transport the equipment, Wen Ping's purpose is very simple, as we all know, the equipment installed on the warship is small, light in weight, and the range is also limited, they transported the equipment in the camp and shot at the Jinfan sailors on the shore, they will definitely be able to force it back, and their warships will definitely be easier to save.
They were outnumbered and close to each other, and in a short time they brought fifty catapults and a hundred ballistas, and placed them on the side of the ferry, with stones and spears stacked beside them, and when they were ready, they immediately attacked the Ganning tribe.
With a loud bang, a boulder smashed on the giant ship on which Gan Ning was riding, Gan Ning looked to the shore and found the matter of the enemy's equipment, and quickly ordered the herald to wave the horn fire, ordering the warship to retreat and withdraw from the attack range of the enemy's equipment.
Taking advantage of this short period of safety, the soldiers of Jing Yangshui hurriedly extinguished the fire, drove the warship away from the ferry, and rowed all the way downstream, escaping from here.
Gan Ning's 20 ships were extremely nimble, and they quickly broke away from the range of enemy equipment, and under Gan Ning's command, they turned around and sailed downstream. While sailing, do not forget to continue to attack enemy ships within attack range. Gan Ning looked at the enemy ships under the surging battle, and his heart was still clear. These warships must have been destroyed, even if the flames are extinguished, it is useless to repair them, and the cost is huge, so it is better to rebuild them, so he will not stay too long, and quickly chase downstream, and the warships at the ferry here will naturally have his own people to clean up, and he does not want to let go of an enemy ship.
Not for long. He disappeared into the night, and then about half an hour later, a large number of warships came down from the upstream, which made it obvious that it was still the Jinfan Sailor, most of the sailors led by Zhou Yu, and set off an hour after Gan Ning's departure, because he was afraid that his movement would be too big, resulting in the failure of Gan Ning's department. So he's only here now.
Zhou Yu led all high-level warships, and their purpose was very simple, to continue to attack the enemy ships covered in fire in the ferry, and not a single ship wanted the enemy to be saved. Be sure to destroy them all.
He did not dare to approach, there were more and more enemy weapons on the shore, and the threat to them was too great. Hit enemy ships only within the effective range.
Looking at the situation, the anxious Wen Ping, the evil god and Wang Qiang turned around. One by one, the ships sank to the bottom of the river, and the fire grew louder and louder. Completely uncontrollable, and also suffer from the enemy's artillery fire, the sailor soldiers are also constantly dying, Wen Ping is disheartened, half of the Jingzhou sailors have let him take out, seeing that the warship is about to be destroyed, can he not feel distressed, his status in Jingzhou may decline a lot, after all, this is the first big defeat since Liu Biao became the pastor of Jingzhou, defeated in his hands, hey!
Not only Wen Ping is like this, but the evil god and Wang Qiang are also in the same mood, falling to the bottom, I don't know how many warships have escaped, but I am sure that in a short period of time, they are no longer the opponents of the Jinfan Sailor on the bank of the Yellow River, and if they want to make progress, they must continue to mobilize warships from the south in order to make achievements.
The sky gradually brightened, the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River was in a mess, the Jinfan Sailor Division was still on the river under the leadership of Zhou Yu, and never left, and the Jingyang Sailor Coalition suffered a fire and did not rescue a single warship, and tens of thousands of sailor soldiers died for this, and the losses were too heavy.
After another half an hour, I saw that the warship led by Gan Ning in the downstream direction sailed back slowly and leisurely, and there were twenty of them, none of which was damaged, gathered together, and continued to sail upstream with Zhou Yu, returning to the ferry port of Pingyuan County.
Sun Ce has been waiting at the ferry, this is also his first battle as the commander of a large army, and now he is also a celebrity in front of Lin Sen, if this battle is won completely, it can stabilize his position in Jizhou, Pingyuan County is too guarded, Qingzhou Thorn History, is also a high-ranking official in Jizhou, his status is respected, he can't weaken his reputation.
Waiting for half the night, during which Sun Ce asked Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to go back to rest, only Ling Tong and Lu Meng, the two young people, have been accompanying him, as soon as the day dawned, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other veterans came to the ferry, and slowly all the soldiers also gathered together and came to the ferry together to wait for the sailor to turn around.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that I saw the sailors returning, and when they set off, there were seventy warships, and when they came back, there were also seventy of them, one of which was not less.
"Gong Jin, how's it going?"
Zhou Yu first had a cold face, looking like he had found nothing, held back for a while, then laughed, and said: "A great victory, General Gan is both wise and brave, when I arrived, most of the enemy ships had been covered by fire, and only a small part escaped, General Gan chased closely, and in the end, only about fifty warships escaped, and the rest of the warships sank to the bottom of the river." ”
"Good, good." Sun Ce clapped his hands in celebration, then turned around and shouted, "Great victory." ”
"Jinfan is invincible, long live Jizhou, long live the lord......"
All the officers and men in the army shouted in unison, this victory was too important, the emotions that had been suppressed for several days were immediately gone, the morale was high, the emotions of the group were rippling, the soldiers were indescribably happy, and the Jinfan sailors once again returned to the ferry camp with heroic treatment.
Back in the camp, Sun Ce immediately ordered: "The sailors and soldiers have worked hard and made great achievements, and each person will be rewarded with five hundred dollars, two catties of meat, and two catties of wine." ”
The money seems to be very small, much less than the money that Lin Sen rewarded in the past, but these are all Sun Ce's money, part of which was supported by Zhou Yu who sold his family property, and it is already the limit to reward so much, and Sun Ce thinks that this money is a lot, when he served under Yuan Shu's account, the officers and soldiers in the army have never been rewarded, and it is good to be able to eat and pay military salaries on time.
Hearing this reward, the enthusiastic atmosphere among the sailors and soldiers dropped slightly, and they didn't know that this was a reward issued by Sun Ce with his own money, but they just thought that the rewards in the past were not so small, and how could the rewards be so small for such a big victory, and it was completely out of order.
Sun Ce didn't understand what was going on, how could there be such a reward, Gan Ning, who understood the inside story, said privately: "General Sun, don't you know, the rewards after winning battles in the past are extremely rich, not to mention wine and meat, the money alone is one catty or two catties of gold, this time you sent so little, it is inevitable that the brothers will have some emotions." ”
Sun Ce looked at Chu Yan and Pei Yuanshao, and saw that they were also nodding, indicating that this was indeed the case, Sun Ce and other Jiangdong generals knew the inside story, and they were surprised, Sun Ce said: "Uncle's handwriting is really big, I am really difficult to do, dissatisfied with General Gan and said, these money is my private money, this is already my limit, if I am like Uncle Lin, I really can't do it." ”
Gan Ning nodded, his impression of Sun Ce was better, and he turned around and shouted: "If you have wine, drink it, and eat it if you have meat, what are you still muttering?" Do you feel that the battle has been fought and life is good, so you don't take these as rewards? ”
In an instant, the sailors and soldiers were silent, bowing their heads one by one, not daring to look at Gan Ning, which shows the high prestige of Gan Ning, and Gan Ning continued: "These are the private rewards that General Sun feels that you have fought bravely and hard for a day and a night, and your hard work is high. ”
"Thank you, General Sun, thank you, thank you, General Sun."
The sailors and soldiers knew this, and immediately smiled, and thanked Sun Ce in unison, Sun Ce's heart was stable after hearing it, and the next thing was the celebration banquet, whether it was the sailor or the infantry, they all began to celebrate, drinking and eating meat, everyone was happy at this moment, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, eating and drinking.
As for the matter of the vigilant sentinel, no one needs to remind him, Sun Ce has already arranged it, it is his old Jiangdong department, everyone walks away with a large piece of cooked meat and a pot of wine, on the one hand, eating meat and drinking wine is the only ride, on the other hand, the weather is not so warm, drink some wine and warm the body, and the vigilant sentinel is also a tiring job.
After the celebration banquet was over, Lin Sen's henchmen who stayed in Pingyuan County informed the players around Lin Sen of this big victory offline, and Lin Sen immediately learned that it was natural to be happy, and he was very happy.
"Pass my order: The officers and men of the Jinfan Navy Division will greatly promote the prestige of our Jizhou army, and hereby commend the officers above the captain level with ten gold gold, ten catties of wine, and ten catties of meat; The sailors and soldiers each had three catties of gold, five catties of wine, and five catties of meat. Zhou Yu and Gan Ning commanded the naval division for their meritorious contributions, each of them was rewarded with 200 catties of gold and 10 pots of wine, and Sun Ce commanded the whole army, deployed in the center, and worked hard, and was rewarded with 300 catties of gold and 10 pots of wine. ”
Lin Sen was once again not short of money, and rewarded Jinfan Sainer heavily......
