Chapter 170: Water Bandits Robbing the Road
This time, Gan Ning brought four warships with him, but the brocade sails hanging on the ships were replaced by ordinary sails by Gan Ning, and they were also waving the banner of the Han Army in Yangzhou. Leaving two for Zhang Zhao and Li Gonggong, all the men and horses brought by Zhou Yu boarded the other two warships, Gan Ning stood at the bow of the ship and gestured, and the warship began to set sail.
"How's it going, my lord? The last general looks good at this ship, right? This is my old Gan's car, as long as the Yangtze River basin sees this boat, it will immediately retreat. Gan Ning told Zhou Yu how good his warship was and how powerful it was! Because Dian Wei and Zhou An had never seen such a big warship, they couldn't stop praising them as soon as they got on the boat, which made Gan Ning, a sassy boy, flutter suddenly.
"Hehe-Xingba, just such a broken ship excites you like this? What is your boat traveling on the river? Tell me about it-" Zhou Yu looked at Gan Ning with some disdain, a slightly larger broken sailboat didn't know what he was happy about? Although he has never seen a real warship in his later life, he also knows from some daily news that the warships and cruise ships made of steel are all driven by engine propellers, and the speed and carrying capacity are extremely high - the ship in front of him looks very large, but his main power is still three high sails, and the speed of sailing with the wind is very fast. Once it encounters a headwind, most of the time it depends on manpower to slide, and a sailor with excellent arm strength is needed to take the helm to ensure the direction of the ship, the reason why Gan Ning's ship can dominate the Yangtze River Basin, the most important thing is that the sailors under him have good underwater skills, and his ship is loaded with a large number of people, coupled with the condescending advantage, it is naturally easy to grasp the initiative of the battlefield. That is, all the water bandits on the Yangtze River are reckless, if there is a little bit of resourcefulness, it will be difficult for Gan Ning to dominate the Yangtze River Basin, now take advantage of the time to cool down this kid first.
"The ship moves in the water, one by the wind and the sails; the second is to rely on human paddling and water flow; Isn't that what the ship was supposed to look like? Gan Ning was a little surprised, it had been like this since he came into contact with the ship, could the boat still be able to go on its own?
"So how did you deter other bandits in the Yangtze River basin? The Yangtze River basin stretches for thousands of miles, with wide and narrow waterways and many reefs, how do you avoid these? If you are outnumbered, you cross the river with a rope on the downwind waterway, and how do you flee against the wind? Is it possible to rely on people and oars? Xingba - Anyway, it's idle, you just show me your best things for me to see, don't let me underestimate you! These things are really not enough for me to see! "Zhou Yu is very targeted at some water warfare things, he wants to understand what ability Gan Ning has to dominate the Yangtze River Basin, although Gan Ning is very brave in sword and horse warfare when he fights on land, but water warfare is different from land warfare, not that you can win water battles if you are brave enough, water battles are completely dependent on the strategy and courage of a commander.
"My lord - the water bandits in this place are all a nest of characters who bully the weak and fear the hard, as soon as they see that there is such a big warship on my side, they will surrender to the situation, and in these complex waters, I will send a small boat in advance to explore the way, and the big warship will follow up, and in case of emergencies, they can also deal with it in time. As for what the lord said, what is the iron cable Hengjiang? I haven't really seen it yet, but when I first started developing, there were times when I couldn't beat the enemy, when we encountered the enemy and I was outnumbered, we generally chose to jump into the water to escape, after all, the warship is a dead thing, I Ganning will not guard the warship and wait for death, as long as I enter the water, my sons and daughters will be like dragons in the sea, and it is easy to overturn the enemy's ships. Therefore, it is better to run against the wind than to fight hard, maybe there is a chance of winning, if you blindly escape, you can only wait to be besieged by others and consumed alive. I, Gan Ning, would not be so stupid - the method of water warfare is nothing more than to concentrate the enemy's forces deep and annihilate, and then take advantage of the situation to destroy the enemy's living forces. As long as you scare them and hurt them, they will submit to your control. Gan Ning saw Zhou Yu's dissatisfied look, and he didn't have time to organize the language to say some of his usual things so simply, which made Zhou Yu a little speechless. This style of play is also the general water warfare skills, once he meets someone who is proficient in the method of water warfare, his Yangzhou naval army will be defeated. When the navy goes into battle, it is necessary to escort the ships to defend the main ships on one side, beware of the water spirits sent by the opponent to gouge through the bottom of the ship, or use the wind to send fireships to raid, if you do not defend in advance, even on the water, you will not be able to escape the erosion of the fire.
When you didn't see the fire burning Chibi, Cao Cao's million-strong army built countless warships were all ignited by more than 20 small boats sent by Zhou Yu, so that a fire burned Chibi and burned Cao Cao's dream of dominating the world. These achievements in history are all due to Zhuge Liang's clever calculations, in fact, it is mainly Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin's clever plans and unique vision that made Cao Cao defeated. Water warfare is not that simple -
"Xingba - this kind of idea is not suitable for being the governor of the navy, do you know why? First of all, as a general, you must fully understand the characteristics of your warship, which ships are responsible for detecting the enemy, which ships are responsible for luring the enemy, which ships are responsible for the main attack, which ships are responsible for sneak attacks, which ships are responsible for transporting grain, grass and baggage, and what kind of trebuchets and crossbows are configured on a ship according to what proportions, and how many sailors are needed to maintain physical strength at all times so that the warship can move flexibly. And how deep can your ship's draft reach the limit, and how can you prevent the water ghost from raiding? I haven't heard of many, many more, if you follow your tactics and command a naval raid in my command, you will definitely be defeated! You should think about these questions I said-" Zhou Yu said earnestly, the drum does not need a heavy hammer, presumably Gan Ning can figure out what he said.
"Hey—what do you see those boats up front for? How I look at some of the intentions that want to outflank us! Zhou An, who was enjoying the scenery at the bow of the boat, suddenly noticed that there were some small black dots approaching their boat, and it seemed that the people who came were not good.
"His grandmother's-what kind of bastard is impatient, come to give Lao Tzu eye medicine at this time!" Gan Ning, who was speechless when Zhou Yu asked about it, had no place to send the door fire in his stomach, and someone in the Yangtze River basin actually started his own idea, isn't this a naked slap in the face? How much made him lose face in front of Zhou Yu-
What is the overlord of the Yangtze River Basin, it was like being slapped hard in the face for a moment.
