Chapter 39: The Sail Thief (II)
It is very dangerous to confront the river in the dark, so no one wants to stay a little longer to reduce the amount of time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After listening to Gan Ning's words, Huang Jian began to order the release of the rocket without hesitation, but the distance between the two ships was quite far, and they were downwind, so the rockets all submerged into the river.
Gan Ning smiled coldly, and then looked at Wang Qu behind him: "Our disgusting encounter along the way, it is estimated that it has been premeditated by others, count me Gan Ning owes you Wang Qu, and I will repay this debt to you tonight." ”
Wang Qu was stunned and puzzled: "Does Brother Gan want to fight with them?" This can't be done, the other party has six ships, at least more than 100 people, and there are only about 20 people on our ship, how can this be done? ”
Gan Ning smiled, poured another sip of liquor, and then said to the helmsman: "Lean the boat to the cliff by the river!" ”
Wang Qu was shocked, and just wanted to stop it, so he heard Gan Ning answer: "Brother Wang Qu, don't worry, I am most familiar with this area, the black mountain in front of me is called Eagle's Beak Cliff, the dark stones will all disappear there, but the water will be extremely turbulent, we will drive the boat in, the yellow shot will definitely chase us, we are sea boats, not afraid of these rapids, and I have my own way to take us out, but the yellow shot that follows us is not easy to say, haha." ”
Wang Qu immediately smiled when he heard this, he already fully understood Gan Ning's intentions.
The river at night is not suitable for sailing, many old sailors know, but the current situation is very special, Huang Jian can't care about so much, his father gave him a death order, must bring back Gan Ning's head.
Because Gan Ning had not been reused when he was under Huang Zu, he finally chose not to say goodbye, which was indeed an unforgivable thing for Huang Zu.
Lao Tzu can do without you, but you can't deviate from Lao Tzu, this is the face of Huang Zu's scoundrel.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Zu deliberately raised the price of wine very high to attract Gan Ning to come, and then captured him in one fell swoop.
In addition to scolding the greed of his officials at this moment, Huang Jian could only closely chase after Gan Ning's sea ship, if this mission failed, his life with his father Huang Zu would definitely not be easy.
He was good friends with You Heng before, so he strongly recommended You Heng to his father Huang Zu, who knew that You Heng was a little arrogant, and he actually humiliated his father, causing his father to be furious, killed one of them, and finally blamed himself, which is definitely unlucky.
This time, I have to make up for the previous losses, otherwise the position of Jiang Xia Taishou's successor in the future will probably be lost so hard.
"A sea-breaking ship, you can't catch up, do you want to eat the whip?" Huang Jie scolded angrily.
An old sailor replied a little embarrassed and timidly: "Shizi, there are many dark rocks in the river road ahead, and our ship is small and narrow, and if we hit one, we will capsize immediately, so we can't be in a hurry." ”
Huang Jie was even more angry, and scolded: "It's okay for people to have such a big ship, you are afraid of a bird, give me an order to go down, except for our one, the other ships will speed up for me." ”
The old sailor had no choice but to signal the light and order the other ships to speed up the pursuit.
The six ships gradually entered the river in front of the eagle's beak cliff in turn, and in an instant, the river suddenly became turbulent, and the helmsman immediately felt very difficult.
The ship's hull is narrow and long, and it is maneuverable, which is convenient for clashing with enemy ships, but because the left and right sides are not wide enough, it is very bumpy, and the turbulent river surface immediately exposes the disadvantages of its poor stability.
After a while, the six ships suddenly calmed down, as if they had reached a calm river again, and the feeling of rushing through the torrent just now disappeared in an instant, and even the air was very quiet at this moment, and the gentle water waves hitting the hull were very good.
Huang Shot's heart was a little calmer, and he suddenly came to his senses, and asked left and right: "Where is the location of the enemy ship, have you ever found out?" ”
Several old sailors looked around left and right, and it was difficult to even look at their own ships on the inky black river, and it was even more difficult to judge the enemy's ships.
Suddenly, there was a slight thump on the hull of the ship, which immediately caught the attention of several old sailors.
So they came to the edge of the deck, and took their torches to the water, only to see some clay pots floating around the hull, and it was these jars that hit the hull with a thumping sound.
When several old sailors were puzzled, someone suddenly shouted: "There is fire on those clay pots!" ”
As soon as these words were shouted, a loud noise was suddenly heard across the entire river, and one of the six ships was directly blown off by the waist, and the pieces of wood flew dozens of meters away.
The first ship had just been killed, and the side of the hull of the other ships also exploded, and the sound continued to be continuous, becoming more and more urgent, and in an instant, four of the six ships had been destroyed, and the only remaining two began to rush frantically towards the periphery.
However, the current is too fast, it is easy to get in, but it is too difficult to get out, and those clay pots that float with the water are still gathering, and what will happen later can be predicted.
"Abandon ship! Abandon ship! Abandon ship! ”
Finally, someone shouted out everyone's hearts, and then there was a popping sound of falling water on the river.
In a few moments, the remaining two ships became unmanned ships, and those who jumped into the water began to swim vigorously towards the shore, fearing that if they swam slowly, they would be killed by the explosion just now.
After two more pillars of incense, Gan Ning jumped easily, and then landed on the two empty ships, and turned back to Wang Qu on the sea boat and smiled: "We got two good ships for free, do we make money?" ”
Wang Qu barely peeked out of the deck with the support of the two sailors, and then said with a smile: "You used your empty wine clay pot to scare people, and you really have to succeed." ”
Gan Ning laughed and continued: "I didn't expect Huang Jie to be so timid, when I was under his father's command, this person was very majestic, and he often came to the barracks to walk around, and he was a very fierce man at that time, and I don't know how he became a soft egg in the past few years." ”
Wang Qu smiled and said: "Whatever, anyway, it's Liu Biao's side, it's far away from us, we have two warships now, even if it's worth the wine money, naturally we won't lose it, and it's easy to explain when we go back." ”
Gan Ning nodded, but focused his eyes on the remaining few gunpowder altars, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, although he had heard of its power before, he didn't want to see it with his own eyes today and was still a little frightened.
A good ship was blown up in an instant, this is definitely not the power that the world should have, it is said that Yuan Yun is a child of immortals, it seems that this rumor is true.
"No wonder the eldest lady is so concerned about Yuan Hou, watching these gunpowder jars explode, I feel that the eldest lady is still smart, and can think of things that we can't think, before I wanted to talk about my opinion of Yuan Hou, I felt that he was just a young man, but at this moment I feel that my thoughts are very wrong." Gan Ning sighed again, and prepared to leave here.
Wang Qu laughed at this moment and said, "When I came, the eldest lady had already gone to Zhongshan, I don't know if I met Yuan Hou?" If we did, maybe we would be a family now. ”
Gan Ning was stunned and said suspiciously: "It is rumored outside that the eldest lady has a hand with Yuan Hou...... Uh, I mean the relationship is a bit ambiguous, is that true? ”
Wang Qu immediately shook his hand and said: "There is no such thing, the eldest lady is just Yuan Hou's senior sister, because the old fairy Zuo Ci also lived in the Luoyang Palace for a long time, and he also has a master-apprentice friendship with our eldest lady, so it is naturally a family." ”
Gan Ning sighed, but felt in his heart that it was better to have a hand, so it was a little more reliable.
After a short time, under the command of Gan Ning, the three ships successfully left the rapids of the eagle's beak cliff, and then began to sail towards Jianye.
Huang Zhu had just swam ashore, looking at himself who was still burning on the ship, he couldn't help but shudder, and he still had lingering palpitations about the explosion that had just occurred.
It's just that I lost inexplicably, how do I explain to my father after I go back?
Now Sun Ce has basically pacified the Yangzhou area, and also surrendered all Liu Xian's old troops, and the strength is not to be underestimated.
Sun Ce was not satisfied so far, he actually went east to Yuzhang and garrisoned Jiaoqiu, and he would soon be able to drive the Huang family out of this land, which is probably a sign of the Huang family's imminent disaster.
Originally, Yangzhou became very short of food because of the war in the past two years, as long as he waited for another half a year, Liu Biao's recruits could be replenished, and the Huang family could launch a big battle, and then drive Sun Ce out of Yangzhou.
Even his father Huang Zu also prepared a large number of assassins, these assassins are all skilled, it is rumored that they are all Xu Gong's disciples who were killed by Sun Ce, these people are not only strong in martial arts, but the most powerful is not afraid of death, as long as the assassination is successful, Sun Cejun's internal chaos will immediately be chaotic, and then unite with Yan Baihu, not worrying about Jiangdong's unpeace.
However, the Wang family in the north actually began to transport grain to Jianye for sale, and it was Gan Ning who took the lead, how could this not make the Huang family angry.
Revenge must be taken! Huang Zhu swore secretly, and then rolled up his dirty robe and walked slowly towards the shore, if he didn't get some firewood and grass to make a fire, he would definitely be seriously ill.
Dozens of sailors who escaped their lives also gathered at this moment, but they all looked gloomy.
Losing the enemy and losing the ship will inevitably be a capital offense when you go back.
Huang Jian saw everyone's faces, and his heart was shocked, if he was not soothed, I was afraid that these people would have bad intentions towards him.
Suppressing the panic in his heart a little, Huang Zhuocai smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, this time the teacher is not good, the blame lies with me, I will definitely tell my father after I go back, and I will definitely not implicate you." ”
A group of sailors quieted down at this time, and there was the phrase yellow shot, and they would be whipped at most when they went back, as long as they didn't lose their lives, then it was easy to say anything.
Only the old sailor's face was still full of worry, he had been under Huang Zu for many years, he knew the temper of the father and son best, it was absolutely impossible to take the blame for others, and Huang Shot would definitely put all the blame on them soldiers.
And the old lord Huang Zu has lived too well in the past few years, and he has no feelings for the old brothers at all, once his subordinates make a mistake, he will immediately be killed, if he really goes back like this, it will definitely be a dead end.
Huang Jie gathered the remaining men and horses, and then repaired on the bank of the river for the night, and prepared to rush back to the garrison on the morning of the second day, but when he ordered the troops, he found that three people were missing.
Huang Zhu sneered, and he didn't want to pursue it, there are always smart people, aren't they? These three people must be veterans, and when they find out that they go back this time, they will definitely put the blame on them and run away for their lives, which is understandable.
It's just that what Huang Jie didn't expect was that he let go of these three veterans, which led to a series of historical events that changed direction, Sun Ce was not assassinated, and the rise of the Sun clan in Jiangdong was advanced by nearly ten years.
As a result, the general trend of the world has also been deflected, and the Three Kingdoms have become unknown.
And our Yuan Yun didn't expect this stubble, he originally wanted to empty the grain and grass in the north, and then let Yuan Shao lack food, who knew that under the effect of the butterfly effect, the change of history has become inevitable.
