In the conference room, Xu Shu and Gan Ning were burying their heads on the map, saying a few words from time to time, and after about two or three hours, they finally stopped.

This kind of situation has been going on since Gan Ning's arrival, but looking at the expressions of the two today, they should have made a plan.

The two sat down, and Xu Shu asked, "Captain Gan, this battle is the first battle of the navy, can you be sure?" ”

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, whether they can show their skills depends on this battle, so everyone in the sailors gritted their teeth, because they knew that Li Huiyi had spent a lot of effort on them.

As the commander of an army, Gan Ning is the same, how can he not have confidence. "Xuzhou Mu rest assured, Ning's water army, although it has not been warned, but as long as it is dispatched, it will stain Yangzhou with blood and be famous all over the world."

"Hmm." Gan Ning is confident, which is a good thing, Xu Shu reminded: "Okay, but the Yangzhou Navy is famous, so General Gan, don't be careless." ”

There is no need for Xu Shu to explain this, Gan Ning also knows in his heart that if he loses the first battle because of carelessness, I am afraid that he will have to bear infamy for the rest of his life.

"Xuzhou Mu rest assured, Ning knows in his heart that as long as he acts according to the plan, there will not be much change, and at most it will take some more time."

"Okay, without further ado, let's go, I'm waiting for you to make a name for yourself." The saying has been said, all that remains is to wait for the result, Xu Shu urged Gan Ning to set off.

There is a reason why Xu Shu is so anxious, because the weather has turned cold at this time, and conventional water battles rarely happen, because this kind of weather, as long as it is a person who falls into the water, it is basically equivalent to death in battle.

In this way, the Yangzhou Navy will not be able to give full play to the advantages of water warfare, so Gan Ning will be even more advantageous, which is also one of the results of their discussion for several days.

With the mobilization of Ganning's army, Xu Shu also began to arrange for the navy to keep up, but these navy troops are not fighting, but ensuring logistics and taking over the city.

The two counties of Danyang and Jiujiang are used as buffer zones to deal with Xuzhou, and Liyang, Moling, and Qu'a are the three important points of the defense line.

Qu'a is stationed, and there is no danger to defend, so Gan Ning will set his sights on the first battle here.

On this day, the river was filled with fog and visibility, and a large fleet was quietly approaching.

On the front warship, Gan Ning was standing on the deck, looking carefully ahead, although he couldn't see anything, he still didn't dare to be distracted.

As he got closer and closer to the stronghold of the Qu'a defensive line, Gan Ning ordered the army to prepare for battle.

Upstairs, Sun Jun was chatting and farting, rubbing his hands back and forth a few times from time to time to ensure blood circulation and not be frostbitten.

At this moment, a veteran commander, whose ears moved, suddenly stopped halfway through his words, and looked into the distance vigilantly, but because the fog was too heavy, he couldn't see anything at all.

"Listen, is there the sound of a ship moving?"

"Head, are you frozen and confused, this ghost weather, even those who have been fishing for a long time don't dare to drive the boat, who will come out to die?"

"That's it, head, if you're cold, go back first, there's nothing big anyway."

……

was told by several people in turn, and the chief laughed a few times, thinking that he had misheard, and said a few perfunctory words, and then revealed the matter.

Fortunately, the captain didn't send anyone to see it, otherwise Gan Ning would have been discovered.

Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won a hundred battles, although Gan Ning has not been in Jingzhou and Xuzhou for a long time, and Yangzhou has rarely been to several times, but he has a bad memory of Sun Jun's strongholds.

It was estimated that there were still five or six hundred meters away from the stronghold, and Gan Ning ordered the whole army to speed up, and all the artillery entered the firing state, ready to defeat Sun's army in one go.

As soon as the speed was mentioned, within a few minutes, the scene of the closing building in front of him loomed, and Gan Ning hurriedly ordered the herald to blow the horn of attack.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"簌簌簌......"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

As soon as the horn sounded, dozens of catapult artillery fired the first round of artillery fire in a neat manner, and Sun Jun was still in shock, and was buried by the fierce bombardment.

Cold weapons, in the face of semi-firearms, are taken by surprise, and the result can be imagined, the moment the battle begins, it is already close to the end, because the result is already doomed.

With the landing of Ganning's warships, Qu'a's first line of defense was also lost.

Occupy the Guanlou without much effort, Gan Ning did not choose to chisel through a little bit in one go, but chose to divide the troops into two ways, preparing to take Moling as well.

Gan Ning's bold action shows his earnestness for meritorious service, and at the same time proves that he is full of confidence in the army under his command.

The Qu'a border defense was occupied by Gan Ning, and a day later, the news reached the ears of the main general Zhu Zhi.

Xuzhou chose to send troops suddenly at this time, which was unexpected by Zhu Zhi, he never thought that Xu Shu's unsightly naval army would dare to launch an active attack.

Sun Ce arranged him here, and Zhu Zhi was angry for a long time, and complained that he was not allowed to go to Jingzhou to fight.

Now that it was good, Xu Shu took the initiative to send it to the door, which made Zhu Zhi very happy, and he didn't think much about it at all, so he ordered the army to go out and prepare to recapture the border.

Seeing the mobilization of the army, Zhu Zhi's adopted son, Zhu Ran, curiously went to inquire, learned that it was an invasion of Xuzhou, and quickly broke through the first line of defense, and immediately hurriedly persuaded him.

"Father, Xu Shu is not a simple person, since he chose to attack at this time, he must be completely sure, at this time, he should defend the city, report the news to the lord immediately, and wait for instructions."

Finally, there was a fight, and he had to be a turtle with a shrunken head, Zhu Zhi didn't agree, even if Xu Shu was completely sure, could he still swallow him in one bite.

"Huangkou Xiaoer, what do you know, this is in the army, if you don't prepare, do you want to disobey."

Although Zhu Zhi recognized Zhu Ran as his adopted son, he was not very willing, because all this was personally ordered by Sun Ce.

Seeing that the suggestion was rejected, Zhu Ran was uneasy, reluctantly retreated, and the whole army was ready to set off, but he still quietly sent someone to spread the news.

Knowing that Zhu Zhi led the army to kill, Gan Ning was overjoyed and ordered the vanguard to rush to meet the battle, wanting to deceive and lead Zhu Zhi into an ambush.

Zhu Zhi, who didn't know what to do, really routed the vanguard Li army as Gan Ning expected, led the army to attack and chase all the way, fell into the encirclement, and was fired by dozens of artillery pieces in three volleys, and suffered heavy losses in an instant.

After the artillery fire, before the Sun army could react, Gan Ning waved his army to cover up and kill, and firmly shrunk Zhu Zhi's army in the encirclement.

The situation changed too fast, Zhu Zhi couldn't react at all, seeing that the army was about to be annihilated, he was in a hurry to draw his sword and kill himself.

Fortunately, Zhu Ran organized it in time on the side, so that he calmed down.

After the impulse, his brain went blank, Zhu Ran's face turned red, and he asked blankly, "Ran'er, what should I do now?" ”

Zhu Ran didn't want to answer: "Father, my son formed a death army to help my father fight his way out of the encirclement!" ”
