Chapter 172: Pressing Over
"Pass my order - the two warships will drop their sails and retreat at full speed!" Zhou Yu couldn't help but sneer at the corners of his mouth as he looked at the dozen or so small boats that had caught up, and he didn't put on a helmet or armor, but began to order the warships to move and retreat at full speed.
Gan Ning didn't dare to ask more questions at this time, just to carry out Zhou Yu's order, but he muttered all the way: "The lord is not going to be a turtle with a shrunken head and run away, right?" Now the west wind is blowing, although the wind is not strong, but if you sail on the water, the speed of the big ship cannot be compared with the small boat, and soon they will be caught up, and it is inevitable that there will be a real battle. When the time comes, you guys will protect the lord well, and you must not let the lord have trouble! ”
Turning the corner of the boat, although Gan Ning's words were small, they all followed the wind and drilled into Zhou Yu's ears without pulling a word, Zhou Yu smiled and asked Dian Wei: "Big brother - if you fight a water war according to the method of land warfare, how should you fight in this situation?" Zhou An also listened carefully to me, you can't be my follower for a lifetime, learn well and let you go out to lead the army alone, as for whether it is a navy or an army, it depends on your own understanding, if you are not satisfied with any aspect, then let you go back to your hometown and show me the yard! Do you hear that? ”
"Young Master—I understand! But I still want to serve by your side for the rest of my life, leading the horse to fall before and after you saddle it, and besides, I am not the material to command the army, as long as the young master says what I will do, I will do it! Zhou An didn't expect that Zhou Yu was still talking to Dian Wei just now, and immediately turned the conversation to himself, he also knew that Zhou Yu was for his good, and the days in the future would be long, and he Zhou An could not be a subordinate for a lifetime, but the young master's family was also kind to them, what should I do if I really left the young master's side?
"Get out of the way—young master, I like women, but I don't need you to serve as a man! Listen to it - it's good for you, Gan Ning - Gan Ning - you can come over and take a look! By the way, by the way, have someone bring some tea, and we'll sit on the bow of this boat and talk over a drink. Ignoring the strange eyes of the others, Zhou Yu arranged it like this anyway, according to the pursuit speed of the small boat, he couldn't catch up for a while and a half, and just such a short time of kung fu had already widened the distance between their pursuing boats. Looking at the big ship, the sailors under Gan Ning are indeed refined veterans, and the speed of the big ship against the current is much faster than that of the small boat.
"Gong Jin - if I encounter them on land, first of all, when the enemy and us are about the same, I will not hesitate to charge, as long as I lead the team into the enemy's army, and take the enemy's banner or the enemy's general's head in one fell swoop, then the enemy army will naturally collapse without a fight; The second is the situation that the enemy is outnumbered, so I Dian Wei is not easy to provoke, kill him fiercely for a while and then retreat, even if the enemy wants to chase me, he will chase me in fear; The rest is a downwind battle with the enemy, that is, the lion fighting the rabbit will do his best. These are just some of my views on land warfare, and I can generally think of it as the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road! After a while, Gan Ning asked someone to put a table in the bow of the boat, on which were placed a few plates of dried fruits and a pot of tea, and although he was anxious, he still sat quietly and listened.
After Dian Wei finished speaking, he waited for Zhou Yu to speak, but Zhou Yu just took a cup of tea in his hand and didn't drink it, but looked at the pursuing bandits, and he said to Gan Ning: "Reduce the speed of the ship and prepare for a counterattack——"
"Yes—do you need anything?" Sure enough, the lord didn't let himself down, it turned out that there was a trick! It's just that he can't figure out what Zhou Yu's aftermath is? Why don't you even prepare weapons or anything like that?
"You don't need to prepare anything, just let your soldiers protect the sailors, and prepare to scratch the hook and spear and prepare to catch people! Xingba - don't call the lord when there is no one in the future, accidentally made me an old man, according to age, it seems that you are still how old I am, right? Tell me how you will fight this battle? "Zhou Yu is now paying close attention to the speed of the water bandits' pursuit and their formation, and on the other hand, he is taking the opportunity to teach Dian Wei, Gan Ning, and Zhou An how to deal with them when they encounter the enemy, or how to turn defeat into victory.
"My lord - I'd rather gamble and lose, since I lost, then you are the lord of Ganning, and I am also very satisfied with such a lord. Since you have picked out any weapons and horses with you, you have selected them for me, and I have seen this kindness in my heart. Okay-how come I, Gan Ning, have also learned the tune of your group of literati, let's talk about how to fight the battle in front of me first! Although Liu Laosan's boat on the opposite side is much smaller than ours, each such a warship can carry about fifty people, excluding the sailors who can participate in the battle, each ship is at least about thirty people, according to this number, the overall strength of the opposite side is about four hundred, and our lord with two hundred guards I don't know how many people they can fight in the water, but there are only about 100 soldiers on my two warships, except for sailors. However, the only advantage I have on my side is the height of the ships, but the lack of maneuverability - condescending is an advantage. If I were to command, I would command the battleship to put up its sails and go down the river, sink the flagship in front and in the left first, as long as I take these two enemy ships, I can break through the enemy blockade, and then escape to ascend to the sky, but when it comes to escaping, I am a little unwilling! Ganning slammed his fist against the plank as he spoke.
"Hey—what a temper you kid have, just this little appetite! It seems that I, Zhou Yu, will not make a move today, I really can't do it, you open your eyes and see how the water war should be fought? See for yourself what the formation of the enemy ships that had just lined up in a row had become now? Following Zhou Yu pointing to the Yangtze River, the formation that had been chasing upstream for most of the hour had begun to disperse, and they were leaning together in twos and threes, and they were also chasing but they were already powerless, but they didn't see what Zhou Yu meant by letting them see the bottom like this!
"That is, the speed of their ships has slowed down, and the formation is a little scattered, but as soon as they get close to us, they will immediately form an encirclement. So our advantage is still self-love going down the river-" Gan Ning didn't understand what Zhou Yu was going to do, but he still saw their own advantages.
"Xingba is right - our advantage is in speed, but you should have seen the crazy bull to hit the wolves, today I want to tell you why I saw their neat formation did not force to rush over but chose to retreat, one is to show the enemy weakness to let them let down their guard, and we chose to flee against the current, at least break the enemy's follow-up deployment, they imagine that we should force the impact of the level; The second is that when we fled, we also took the opportunity to open their formation, and now that the west wind is in full swing, it is the time for us to break through each - Xingba, the order - the two warships all stopped advancing, and the other warship was a mile away from us, and after seeing the flag, they all set sail and went straight down! Did you guess where I attacked? ”
"No—" They thought Zhou Yu had driven another warship a mile away for fear of accidental injury? Zhou Yu didn't look like a joke, did he want to- Suddenly thinking of what Zhou Yu said, the three of them suddenly went blank with their heads, isn't this the same as suicide?
"The time has come—raise the flags, set sail, and go full throttle—and rush over to crush these bandits, and directly crush their boats to me and feed the fish in the river! Rush-" Zhou Yu ordered the warship to use the acceleration of manpower and wind to quickly crash towards the bandit ship-
Zhou Yu estimated the height of Gan Ning's warship and the enemy's warship, as long as he rushed over at full speed and rode the wind and waves, he could directly knock over the enemy's warship and press it directly to the bottom of the water, he did not consider the loss caused by the collision of the wooden ship, it should be said by a metaphor that it was like driving a tracked car to press Alto, it was a real crush!
"Leader-Jinfan Thief, they rushed over, are they crazy?" A water bandit showed an incredible expression, he had never seen such a direct and rude water fight.
