Chapter 43: Counterattack

Huo Jun's suggestion was quickly adopted by Huang Zu. After all, he is also the one who commands the water army, so he naturally knows the importance of the direction of the wind to the battle of the army.

"Raise the sails!"

"Turn the rudder!"

The non-commissioned officers of the Jiangxia Navy on the ship showed their excellent professional ability, and under the command of the officer, in a downwind state, they turned around unhurriedly and hoisted the sails. Under the strong southeast wind, the sails were blown and the bottom of the boat rowed the river, and the ripples were swinging.

Under the adjustment of the fleet, the Jiangxia Navy accelerated the speed of the ship and returned against the current.

At the same time, Huo Jun's suggestion that Su Fei retreat to the Tianxingzhou Palace also brought great changes to the situation on the battlefield.

For example, Gan Ning, who was appointed to the palace, had already set his sights on Ling Cao's flagship, and was about to try it and compare it with him. Unexpectedly, due to the temporary adjustment of the order, he gave up the idea of charging into battle, and instead withdrew with the Su Fei fleet to the area of Tianxingzhou to fight behind the palace.

The drastic retreat of the Jiangxia fleet gave the Jiangdong Navy Division great self-confidence. Just like Ling Cao, the vanguard of the Wu army, first killed the pioneer Zhang Shuo, and then broke through the enemy with a light boat, seeing that the Jiangxia fleet had retreated sharply, and there was no rear fleet, there was already a head left in his heart to pursue.

At this time, Ling Cao was like a player who was greedy for human heads in the game of later generations, staring at the Jiangxia fleet fleeing in front. Not only Ling Cao, but also Xu Kun, who commanded this water battle, was also attracted by the current situation.

The current formation of the Jiangdong Navy Division, whose forward troops are commanded by Ling Cao, has been out of touch with the front because the battle is too protruding. And the forward flagship also had a gap with the Chinese army because of the pursuit.

And such a scene was also noticed by Huo Jun, who was standing at the high point of the ship and had been observing the situation. At the moment, he was different from the frightened others, but he was constantly thinking about how to use the conditions he already had in his hands to create opportunities.

Upwind, the front is scattered, sharp, fine sand......

In a few breaths, a risky plan came to his mind.

Huo Jun went down to the deck again, suggested to Huang Jie, and said: "Major General, the Jiangdong Naval Division is brave and brave, but it has already underestimated the enemy, and the vanguard light boat has broken into our army's formation. Now the enemy is outnumbered, the main force of the Su Du ship is still there, and the major general can lead the headquarters to occupy the upper hand, command the fleet, and encircle and kill the Jiangdong vanguard left and right. ”

"Ahh

Huang Jie was frightened by Huo Jun's proposal, he only thought about how to withdraw the army, but he didn't expect Huo Jun to have the idea of besieging and killing Ling Cao.

Huang Jian shook his head and said: "Jiangdong pioneer is brave, Zhang Shuo was beheaded, Chen was broken, how can he be the enemy!" ”

Today's battle reminded Huang Shot, like his father, of the Battle of Mount Cisse back then. The bravery of the Jiangdong overlord left a deep impression on him, and made him doubt whether his family's fleet could still beat Jiangdong.

Huo Jun put his hand on the hilt of the sword and explained: "Young General, although the Jiangdong vanguard is brave, but the fierce battle so far, it is the end of the strong crossbow, and the strength cannot enter Lu Min. Our army still has brave soldiers, send troops to surround and kill, and the enemy will be caught off guard. ”

"Gan Ning?"

Huang Jie vetoed again, and said: "Having said that, most of our army has withdrawn, only Su Dudu and a certain are left, if they can't be attacked, most of them will be besieged, and our department will be in danger at that time!" ”

"Major General~" Huo Jun's hand clenched the hilt of the sword, and tried to persuade again.

Seeing that Huo Jun still didn't give up, Huang Shot's face was displeased, and he said in an accentuated tone: "Huo Zhongmiao, the person who commands the sergeant is the shot." If you want to stay and fight, you can take a thousand of your men with you. ”

In this battle, all the thousands of Huo Jun's subordinates also went out with the army and fought under the Yellow Shooting Tent.

Huo Jun looked around, and saw that the Yellow Shooting Fleet had already entered the Tianxingzhou River Valley and was preparing to head southwest.

Sighing slightly, Huo Jun pressed the hilt of his sword, apologized to Huang Jie, and said, "Young General, offended!" ”

After speaking, with a sonorous sound, Huo Jun pulled out his sword, stepped forward, and pressed the blade against Huang Jie's neck.

At this scene, not only Huang Jie was shocked, but even the attendants around him were also shocked. They never thought that the army as their own would actually do something to their own major general.

The defenseless yellow shot was instantly controlled by Huo Jun, feeling the coldness on his neck, swallowing his saliva, and said, "Zhong Miao, what do you mean by this!" ”

At this time, like a yellow shot attendant who had just woken up from a dream, he pulled out his weapon and aimed it at Huo Jun. And several attendants on Huo Jun's left and right also took out their weapons to protect Huo Jun's left and right, forming a confrontation with them.

Huo Jun leaned into Huang Jie's ear and said, "I'm just dispatching military power, and I have no intention of hurting Bo Zhong's life." ”

"Good!"

Under the threat of his life, Huang Jie nodded desperately like a chicken pecking rice.

Huo Jun continued to put the sword on Huang Jie's neck and said, "Please Major General, send someone to tell the Fu Jun." Now the Jiangdong battleship is in hot pursuit, and the young general is the son of the prince, how can he not be the queen of the palace, and now he is willing to be the queen of the palace with the governor of Sudu. ”

"Good!"

Huang Jie did not have the toughness of his tone just now, he was extremely cooperative, and hurriedly ordered: "Huang Fu, you take a small boat to tell Fu Jun that everything is normal on the boat. ”

"No!"

"The headquarters of the order turned to Jiangnan, occupied the upper wind, and each ship was equipped with bows and crossbows." Huo Jun continued to command.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the ship looked at each other, a little at a loss, and didn't know whether to obey Huo Jun's military orders.

Under the threat of the long sword, Huang Jie said loudly: "Huo's order to join the army is my military order, you can just follow it." ”

With Huang Jie's explanation, Huo Jun's military order was conveyed unimpeded. Considering Huang Jie's identity, he only unloaded his weapon and was followed by Huo Xiong.

Huo Jun took the helm of his subordinates instead of Huang Shot, and he went on the field as a substitute trainer!

Huo Jun stood on the deck in his heartfelt armor and commanded: "Hang the handsome flag, send someone to inform Su Dudu and Captain Gan that the vanguard of the Wu army is now advancing and the army formation is detached, so you can lead a light boat to raid and besiege it." If you encounter most of the enemy, you can lead the army to retreat, and Jun has ordered people to respond with bows and crossbows. ”

"No!"

"Huo Hu, inform our thousand people, get close to this ship, and listen to our military orders."

"No!"

Under Huo Jun's takeover, the Jiangxia Navy that had turned around Tianxingzhou began to change again. Except for Huang Zu, Chen Qi, Deng Long and other troops who were fleeing, Huang Jie's battleship stopped and approached the south bank of the Yangtze River, occupying the upper hand in advance.

At this time, Jiangdong Pioneer Ling Cao led the light boat to be only a hundred steps away from Ganning's headquarters.

Su Fei and Gan Ning, who received the command of the flag, began to adjust the bow of the ship, and with the blessing of the current, they recoiled towards Ling Cao, who was alone in the depths.

"Whew!"

Gan Ning stood on the bow deck, holding a knife and striking a shield, and the whole person was extremely excited. After being aggrieved for most of the day, he can finally show his bravery.

As Huo Jun expected, Ling Cao and his subordinates faced the Jiangxia soldiers who were still fleeing just now, and he suddenly attacked back, which he didn't expect.

However, isn't it just a broadside battle? He was not afraid.

Ling Cao clenched his sword and shield and hid on the female wall, and through the gap, he could see more than ten fighting boats with Shu brocade as sails, and under the blessing of the current, they kept colliding with his subordinates.

The distance was too close for the two sides to use their crossbows, and they all clenched their crossbows, ready to use them the moment they approached.

"Boom!"

The familiar feeling was transmitted to Ling Cao and Gan Ning respectively. At this moment, the sailors on the two ships suddenly stood up from behind the female wall, raised their bows and crossbows and shot at each other, and the shaking sensation caused by the collision of the hulls increased the difficulty, but they still shot many people.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of breaking the air sounded at the same time, followed by screams, and people on both sides fell to the ground.

The next moment, Gan Ning had jumped from his own boat to Ling Cao's boat, and the bell on his body shook and rang in the air.

"Clank!"

With the sound of the bell, Gan Ning swung his knife down, cutting off Ling Cao's head, and the head flew away and fell into the water of the Yangtze River, hot blood gushed out, and blood splattered on Gan Ning's face.

Gan Ning wiped his face, wiped away the blood that blocked his vision, revealing his white teeth, as terrifying as a yaksha, he had already set his eyes on Ling Cao.

At the same time, Ling Cao also looked at Gan Ning, and he actually felt a trace of contempt flash in the other party's eyes. An angry emotion rose from Ling Cao's heart, and he waved the knife in his hand and pounced on Gan Ning, fighting him closely.

The battle between the Jinfan Thief and the Ling clan did not warm up at the beginning, and directly entered the cruel stage of seeing blood in blood. Both sides are the elite of the brave warriors on the Yangtze River, and they fight their opponents with instincts embedded in their bodies.

The fighting continued, the sound of bells, screams, shouting, and colliding. Due to the special terrain of the ship, both sides are taking advantage of it.

For a while, the sails of the ship blocked the view, and for a while, the king of Qin walked around the pillar, and the fight was extremely hot. When they hit the back, both sides lost their weapons, so they hit with their fists, bit their ears with their teeth, and dig out their pussies with their hands. There are all kinds of means, and the fight does not end until one of them dies.

At the same time, the fierce battle was accompanied by the support of their respective men, first two ships connected, then three, then four. The battle between the four ships was even more fierce and bloody, with severed limbs everywhere and the smell of blood in the air

Under such a fierce battle, the battle between Ling Cao and Gan Ning is even more eye-catching.

The two sides fought more than 30 times, and Gan Ning on the deck was the complete Gan Ning, and the cavalry and foot battles were not the places where he showed his bravery.

The ring knife in Gan Ning's hand made it open and close, or slash horizontally, or vertically, or stab, it seemed to be a few simple actions, but it was used in his hands. The tricks are varied, and they are not at all something that ordinary people can parry.

Ling Cao fought and retreated, and at first he could barely fight against it bravely, but after more than 20 fights, sweat was pouring out of his forehead. In addition, he had been fighting for a long time before, and his physical strength was quite exertional. is not as good as Gan Ning, and he is not physically strong, so he has no power to fight back at the moment.

And Gan Ning's unilateral suppression also indicates that this battle is coming to an end.

The bell rang, and in the howling wind, the ring head knife slashed down again.

Ling Cao raised his shield to block with all his might, and tried to swing his knife to force Gan Ning back, but unexpectedly, Gan Ning kicked his feet and pressed forward with his shield. Under the imbalance of gravity, Ling Cao staggered back two steps, and was pressed against the wall of the boat by Gan Ning, with the Yangtze River behind him.

However, Gan Ning took another step back, and while Ling Cao struggled, he swung his knife and slashed at his head and face. A knife slashed at the leather helmet, cut into the leather, scratched Ling Cao's face, and spilled blood.

The second knife hit Ling Cao's face, and the blade was deeply embedded in the face. When Gan Ning drew his knife, thick blood gushed out like a fountain, revealing Senbai's facial bones and flesh and blood.

Ling Cao was there and wailing in pain!

With the third knife, Ling Cao's head left his body, and blood gushed out again.

Gan Ning picked up Ling Cao's head and shouted loudly: "Your school captain has been killed by my Gan Xingba!" ”

"Head of the house!"

Ling's troops rushed towards Gan Ning, trying to snatch the head of the family head from him, but were killed by Gan Ning one by one.

Half an hour later, Gan Ning killed Jiang Dongxiao's general Ling Cao, and the Ling clan retreated without regard for their lives to recapture Ling Cao's body. When retreating, fifteen-year-old Ling Tong looked at his father with only his body left, and wept bitterly.

Gan Ning was going well, but Su Fei was in trouble, and he was being entangled by Huang Gai's department. At the same time, Xu Kun, who had been pressing on before, also rushed to the battlefield with more than 20 warships.

On the ship, Huo Jun, who was watching the situation on the battlefield, also saw Xu Kun's fleet, but saw that there was still a distance between him and most of the fleet in Jiangdong.

Gritting his teeth, Huo Jun decisively pulled out his long sword and shouted: "Order, order Gao Xiang and Huo Du to attack with this ship and directly take Xu Kun's flagship." The ships of the headquarters are equipped with bows and crossbows, and they are ready to respond to them in formation. ”

Huang Zhu, who was watching the battle, pleaded and said: "Zhong Miao has already made war exploits today, why bother to go deep into the enemy formation." ”

"Join the army, this~" The officer on the ship also said with an embarrassed face.

Seeing that everyone was as hesitant as him, Huo Jun stabbed him to death with a sword, and said sharply: "From my military order!" ”

"No!"

Seeing this, Huang Zhu closed his mouth again, not daring to speak, for fear that Huo Jun would kill him with a sword.

"Pass on my military order, and the thunderbolt truck unloads the stone bullets and loads them with firewood ash and lime."

"No!"

A shipwreck, leading more than a dozen bucket boats, along the south bank of the Yangtze River, stood on the downwind outlet, and followed the water potential, obliquely inserting Xu Kun's ship away.

Huo Jun originally wanted to kill Ling Cao and achieve battle merits, and almost accept it when he saw it, but in the face of Xu Kun, who did not have many troops, Huo Jun was greedy.

If he can kill Xu Kun, he will not only make great achievements, but also go to Jiangdong more smoothly.
