Chapter 10: The Unexpected Situation
Dong Xun led his troops to chase after Su Fei's defeated army, Su Fei was embarrassed, and was running away, when a small boat rushed to the bow of Su Fei and said: "Su Dudu, my Gan County order sent me to answer, please Su Dudu come with me." β
Su Fei was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's Xingba!" That's great! "Beckoning the soldiers and horses to follow.
Dong Raid bit tightly in the back, and Lu Meng also urged the troops to follow, chasing through a bend, and Dong Raid's front army had just passed. Suddenly, more than 30 broken fishing boats rowed down and rushed straight towards the Jiangdong Army that was turning. Immediately shouted clearly: "Enemy attack." β
For a time, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses fired arrows at the fishing boat, and the soldiers and horses at the bow of the boat held a long iron fork, preparing the fishing boat to approach, first stopping the fishing boat with an iron fork, and then preparing to board the boat to fight.
However, the fishing boats were just an attack, and each boat had no more than three or four people, and when they got close to the Jiangdong warship, they jumped into the water, and the fishing boats washed down with the current.
Seeing this situation in the back, Lu Meng shouted: "Keep up with Dong Xian, don't fall behind." β
Lu Meng was a little worried at this time, these fishing boats were definitely not accidental here, and the Jiang Xia army in the defeat didn't have this mind, thinking about it Here Lu Meng turned his head and said, "Is there any news from Ling Tong?" β
The subordinate soldier said: "Captain Ling sent someone to report that he had broken Xiakou City and was chasing Huang Zu. β
Lu Meng said: "Immediately divide half of the troops and horses to support Ling Tong." Although the soldier did not understand, he also agreed.
Half of the ships docked and turned to Xiakou City.
LΓΌ Meng led the rest of the soldiers and horses to continue to follow Dong Xi. Dong attacked in front and was rushing to catch up with the defeated army along the river.
The defeated Jiangxia army gave up more than 30 small boats, and the Jiangdong army took advantage of the situation to capture them all, Dong Xi stood on the bow of the boat and looked at these 30 small boats, although they were not big, but they were intact and sturdy, and couldn't help but say: "Why don't you want such a good boat?" No, after a long time, where did such a new ship come from. β
After thinking about it, he shouted, "Abandon the ship." As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of rockets flew and nailed to thirty small boats, and in an instant, the small boats burst into flames, and it turned out that the thirty small boats were made of oil-soaked wood by Gan Ning.
Dong Xun looked into the distance and saw that Gan Ning was holding a strong bow, and couldn't help gritting his teeth, Gan Ning saw that the boat was burning, and immediately put down dozens of logs and went down the river, so the channel was blocked, and Gan Ning and Su Fei took the opportunity to escape.
Dong Xi was furious and shouted: "Crash into the fireboat and kill the thief Gan Ning for me." "But after the thirty fireboats burned, they were unmanned, floated down the current, and hit the warships in Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong Army on the fireboats jumped into the water to avoid the fire, and the people of other warships hurriedly rescued, and the wood that Gan Ning put down when he left, the panicked Jiangdong Army commander was a little laborious, and if he forcibly collided, he would inevitably hurt his own people.
Seeing that no one listened to his order to force in, Dong Xi was already upset and irritable, and even shouted: "Didn't you hear." β
Left and right said with a look of embarrassment: "Captain, these people are our brothers, if they collide, they will be injured." β
Dong Xian listened to it and saw that it was the case, so he had to suppress his anger and said: "Then hurry up and clear the waterway, we can enter the army, we are all sharp, whoever is careful I will unscrew his head, hurry up." β
Waiting for the waterway to be unblocked, Dong Raid chased after him, only to see the warship abandoned by the Jiangxia army ten miles away, and Dong Raid scolded Gan Ning for being cunning.
The Jiangdong Army boarded these warships to inspect them, and by the way, they were ready to receive. More than 20 people came out of a nearby reed, stretched out their bows and arrows, and shot at the outermost open-top warships.
Dong Xi shouted: "It's not good, the people on the boat run quickly." β
But it was too late, oil tanks were placed under all the warships, and all the remaining warships of the Jiangxia Army were reduced to ashes, plus hundreds of burned Jiangdong Army.
Dong Raid was furious, ordered all the soldiers and horses to land ashore, and pursued Gan Ning, and then LΓΌ Meng caught up, Dong Raid told LΓΌ Meng about the burning of the ship and said: "If I don't kill Gan Ning today, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart." They all went ashore and chased me. β
Lu Meng said: "I didn't expect Gan Ning to be so tricky, but I underestimated him." It's not good, I'm afraid Ling Tong is in danger. β
Dong Raid had already urged the troops to chase along the fallen reeds in the reeds, and Lu Meng saw Dong Raid enter the reeds, and hurriedly said: "Captain Dong, don't go into the reeds, come back quickly." β
Dong Xi asked, "Why?" β
Lu Meng said: "The autumn is high and cool, and the enemy is prevented from setting fire." Let's go up and choose the big road to chase. β
Dong Xi immediately said, "Okay." β
After Gan Ning and Su Fei landed on the shore, there were more than 3,000 defeated soldiers, and Gan Ning said: "Su Dudu, let's retreat into Xiakou to garrison first, and then try to plot against him." I have already arranged for the reeds to swing, and if the Jiangdong army dares to chase it, it will set fire. β
Su Fei couldn't help but be surprised, how Gan Ning arranged it so calmly, it seemed to be premeditated, but he didn't have time to ask at the moment.
The two rushed to Xiakou City together, stayed under the city, and met with Ling Tong of Lu Meng's reinforcements, Ling Tong was originally less than a thousand people, and did not dare to attack Xiakou rashly, and felt a pity to give up, when he was in a dilemma, half of Lu Meng's soldiers and horses arrived, and Ling Tong had 3,000 people in his hands, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Jiangxia army was not firmly footed and the number was small, and he attacked Xiakou.
At the moment, he was meeting Gan Ning on a narrow road, not to mention that Ling Tong also had a grudge against Gan Ning to kill his father, Ling Tong left a thousand people to guard against the defenders, and he led the remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses straight to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning was not ambiguous and immediately caught up.
The morale of the Jiangdong army is high, although there are many people in the Jiangxia army, but most of them are defeated soldiers who fled to Xiakou, and they have no fighting spirit. Gan Ning also understood the actual situation of his army, so he went straight to Ling Tong, ready to capture the thief and capture the king, Ling Tong wanted to take revenge, and also found Gan Ning with a knife.
The two fought for more than 30 rounds, and the soldiers and horses in Xiakou City were killed, and the 1,000 people left by Ling Tong immediately met them, but they were scattered in a moment, and then plunged into Jiangdong.
The 1,500 people who captured Jiangxia City were not ordinary soldiers and horses, but Liu Bei secretly handed over 300 strong men to Gan Ning every year, Gan Ning secretly trained, a team a year, usually hidden in a few reeds, or some small islands in the water, these people were soldiers and horses before Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, absolutely reliable, and the money for raising soldiers was given 5,000 gold by Mi Zhu at a time.
So these soldiers and horses are far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers and horses, and now it is a land battle.
Jiangdong soldiers and horses are in chaos, you must know that the Jiangdong army has been fighting from the morning to the present, and the disadvantages of fighting for a long time have been exposed.
Gan Ning also gradually relied on the advantage of experience and began to suppress Ling Tong.
Suddenly, a rider in the distance appeared holding a bright red Shu brocade, and Gan Ning understood that he couldn't delay it any longer, and the Jiangdong reinforcements were about to arrive.
Gan Ning shouted: "Boy, look at the knife." Then a knife slashed, Ling Tong struggled to block the shelf, but Gan Ning leaked this hole in his chest, Ling Tong was overjoyed, and without thinking about it, he handed the knife and plunged it into Gan Ning's chest with all his might. Gan Ning had already prepared, and in a flash, Ling Tong's big knife grazed Gan Ning's ribs, Gan Ning mustered up all his strength, grabbed the knife shaft with his left hand, and slashed at Ling Tong's arm with his right hand, Ling Tong hurriedly let go, Gan Ning took the opportunity to slash at Ling Tong's horse with his right hand, and hit Ling Tong with the knife with his left hand, Ling Tong didn't have time to pull out the saber, his body first fell, then he was pumped up, and then he fell to the ground fiercely, and he couldn't stand up again.
Gan Ning stepped forward and grabbed Ling Tong and shouted: "The head of the Jiangdong thief has been captured alive, and the recalcitrant one is dead." Then he drank loudly.
The Jiangdong Army was in turmoil. The strength of the Jiangxia army increased sharply and comprehensively suppressed the Jiangdong army. Gan Ning ran to Su Fei and said, "Dudu, we are about to retreat into the city, Jiangdong reinforcements are about to arrive." β
Su Fei immediately called for a retreat, leaving only 1,500 soldiers and horses from the city to continue to expand the results, and the rest of the soldiers and horses entered the city, and after that, 1,500 soldiers and horses from the city also entered the city.
With a pillar of incense, LΓΌ Meng and Dong Xi arrived, but only got the news that more than a thousand corpses and Ling Tong had been captured.
Dong attacked and asked for orders to attack the city, but Lu Meng could only sigh: "The soldiers are tired, An can fight again, let's camp first." β
