Chapter Thirty-Nine: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Three days later, Jiang Wei's fleet reached the open sea of Nanhai County, and arrived outside the city of Guangzhou, which was located in Yushui, which later became the mouth of the Pearl River.

At this time, the Yushui estuary, the alluvial plain is far less vast than that of later generations, and it is still a huge bay, and Guangzhou City is located in the Yushui port.

Jiang Wei ordered the troops to disembark and assemble in turn, and the fleet stayed on the Yushui River.

After all the troops disembarked, Jiang Wei quickly ordered to surround the city of Guangzhou.

Pan Ping had already given Jiang Wei information that there were almost no garrisons in Guangzhou City, and the garrisons of the entire Jiaozhou were basically transferred to Jiaozhi, after all, it was the border of Wushu and Shu.

Guangzhou is located in the hinterland of Eastern Wu, and no one would have thought that the Shu army would come over.

However, Jiang Wei didn't dare to be careless, after all, he knew that there was another little-known and powerful character in Jiaozhou: Gan Xin.

In Jiang Wei's opinion, this female general, known as "Little Ganning", has a high level of force, even if she is placed in Shu Han, she is definitely a master who can be ranked in the top ten, and she is so young, over time, I am afraid that she will become a strong opponent.

In the city of Guangzhou, Gan Xin saw a huge fleet coming from the sea, and sure enough, everything was as she expected, the fleet she used to have surrendered to Shu Han, and the Shu army would definitely come to the sea.

Now the Shu army has really rushed over from the sea, at this time there are not many soldiers and horses in the city of Guangzhou, and there are only about 1,000 when the full battle is full, and it is difficult to resist the Shu Han.

Fortunately, she had already made the layout in advance, and at this moment she was just waiting for the Shu army to fall into her plan. She glanced at the fleet at sea, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, a smile appeared, and then she jumped out of Guangzhou City as quickly as the wind.

It turned out that after Gan Xin fled back to Guangzhou City, the first thing he did was to send an urgent report and ask for help from all walks of life.

She not only asked for help from Sun Quan, who was far away in Jianye, but also asked for help from her mentor, the general of Eastern Wu, the governor of Dadu, and Lu Xun who was stationed in Jiangling, hoping that Lu Xun could quickly send troops to rescue Jiaozhou, otherwise Jiaozhou would be in danger!

Although Gan Xin is Gan Ning's granddaughter, it is completely different from Gan Ning's unruly character, Gan Xin's father Gan Gui was exiled for his crimes, drank all day long, and beat and scolded Gan Xin for a long time.

Fortunately, he was later discovered by Lu Xun, and seeing that Gan Xin's qualifications were extremely high, he accepted him as an apprentice and taught him the mantle, which gradually resolved Gan Xin's violence. Lu Xun has been calm and calm all his life, Gan Xin has been by Lu Xun's side all the year round, and he has gradually developed a habit: he has calm in every major event.

Now she is the official residence and cavalry captain, and she is already the highest-ranking general in the entire Guangzhou city, so she naturally has to take on the important task of guarding Guangzhou, she knows that far water can't quench her thirst, and the closest to her is the army in Yangzhou, but even if she receives the news and comes immediately, it will take at least twenty days.

She knew that the fall of Guangzhou was only a matter of time, but in her opinion, as long as Lu Xun's army arrived, it was also a matter of time before Guangzhou was recaptured.

However, she wanted to let Shu Han know that even if she knew that she would be defeated, she had to find a way to leave a deep impression on Jiang Wei.

Soon, the Shu army outside the city began to besiege the city, it is estimated that the Shu army outside the city has not completely completed the layout, so there is no siege for the time being, Gan Xin has already withdrawn from Guangzhou City with a thousand defenders in Guangzhou City, and also moved the treasury of Guangzhou City to the whole house, leaving the Shu army with an empty city.

Ganxin's army was all assembled outside the mouth of the Yushui River at this moment, and a total of ten warships and a hundred boats were prepared.

As long as the naval division of the Shu army is eliminated, even if the Shu army occupies Guangzhou, it will only occupy an empty city, and sooner or later it will be trapped to death.

Gan Xin knew that it would be very difficult for her to recapture the sailors, but the chances of destroying the Shu army's sailors were much greater, so she prepared a hundred boats in advance, all of which were filled with flammable oil.

She lay in ambush in the upper reaches of Yushui early, quietly waiting upwind, silently waiting for the fighter plane.

Shu Han's side, after getting ready, Jiang Wei took Guan Yinping and Hua Wei to lead the infantry, preparing to attack, with Jiang Wei's order, the rumbling war drums sounded to the sky, and Shu Han's troops made an earth-shattering shouting sound, pushing the rushing cart and carrying the ladder, and they all went to Guangzhou City to kill.

Jiang Wei personally led the army in front of the battle, commanded the rushing car to crash open the city gate, and then the Shu army rushed in, but a shocking scene happened, and the city did not encounter any resistance.

Hua Wei rushed into the city, originally wanted to kill, but found that there were no Eastern Wu soldiers and horses in the city, so he said to Jiang Wei curiously:

"This group of gutless rats in Dongwu actually ran clean!"

Guan Yinping also felt strange, and said to Jiang Wei: "This is too strange, is there fraud in it?" ”

Jiang Wei was a little suspicious, and his brain was running quickly: "Could it be an empty city plan?" Or is it a move away from the mountain? ”

A few people were puzzled, and suddenly there was a "boom" explosion on the river outside Guangzhou, and then a noisy shout of killing came, and soon Jiang Wei saw a huge building ship moored on the river, which had been lit with raging flames.

Jiang Wei couldn't see clearly, so he jumped up to the city in a few steps. Standing on a high place, he saw the situation on the river clearly, and saw dozens of burning boats flying downwind and crashing into his own navy.

Seeing that Lou Chuan was about to have time to turn around, Jiang Wei was suddenly anxious.

"Oops! Sure enough, I fell for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly burst into golden light and shouted at Hua Wei: "Queen of Flowers, the task of occupying Guangzhou is entrusted to you, I am going to rescue the sailor!" ”

Hua Fei hurriedly nodded and took the order.

Jiang Wei quickly ran towards the water master, and Guan Yinping also followed when he saw this. Guan Yinping's light skills were better than Jiang Wei's, and he soon caught up with Jiang Wei, and the two headed towards the sailor fleet together.

On the side of the sailor, Zhuge Zhan was still on the boat, he was originally very interested in the giant crossbows equipped on these building ships in Dongwu, and even two building ships were also loaded with thunderbolt catapults, and he had always been very interested in equipment, so he was naturally willing to stay in the sailor.

Not long after the main force of Shu Han began to attack Guangzhou, Zhuge Zhan saw that a fire suddenly ignited on the river, and after a closer look, it turned out to be dozens of small fireboats, which were coming towards his own fleet.

He hurriedly ordered the soldiers on the ships to attack these small fireships with crossbows and thunderbolts. He knew that if these little fireboats got close to the ships, they would surely die.

Zhuge Zhan personally manipulated the thunderbolt car on the boat he was on, sent out a boulder, smashed it into the small fire boat, and threw a stone down, directly smashing over a small fire boat.

The soldiers on the other ships were also afraid of being approached by the small fireboats, and attacked the fireboats with giant crossbows.

The giant crossbow on the building ship is so powerful that it can sink a small fireship with every shot, but there are too many fireships and the speed is too fast, and it is too late to sink them one by one.

Soon a boom was heard, and a building ship next to Zhuge Zhan was hit by a small fire boat, and the fire oil exploded instantly, and the sparks splashed everywhere, splashing all over the building ship, and quickly ignited the building boat.

Zhuge Zhan was shocked and hurriedly ordered to raise the anchor, wanting to turn around and avoid it, but the soldiers of the sailor told Zhuge Zhan that it was too late.
