Chapter 276: Fighting Momentum
On the Yingshui, the water village along the coast of Nanyang released more than 20 small boats composed of a walker, dragging and fighting on the water, they hung the flag of the Yan family, but they did not belong to the sailors under Tian Yu, they were just the foot archers of the boats under the subordinates of General Du Liao. And their enemy is the Jinfan Army, which has been rampant and domineering on the Yangtze River for a long time.
Gan Ning was like playing with them, sending two ships to play with them on the water, from time to time they pounced on a burst of collision and then immediately retreated, the Yan army pursued in a disarray, fearing that they would be divided and eaten, but they were really annoyed if they did not chase.
"Xingba, since the Yan army is invincible to us on the water, why don't you send dozens of boats with fire to rush to the opposite shore and destroy their water village?" Ganning is a cruel man, and this cruelty in his personality will show itself in various aspects of his style. And what Su Fei despised most about Gan Ning was this kind of cruelty, he could make himself like a cat playing with a mouse at any time, showing an interesting demeanor. "It's like this every day, if you win, you will kill and injure one or two ships, and if you lose, you will kill and injure seven or eight people, why bother!"
Sometimes it's not a bad thing, but more often than not, it's not a good thing.
It's not that Su Fei looks down on Gan Ning, but it's really that Liu Biao in the rear doesn't look down on these petty profits, and Liu Biao needs a big victory to maintain his rule in Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou has reached a difficult situation of internal and external troubles, although the Duliao general headquarters in the north is eyeing the tiger, it can still be blocked by Yingshui; Zhang Liao in the east is menacing, even if he sends troops and horses to block it, Liu Biao's heart is very bottomless.
Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan in the north are all generals of the Yan family, and there are even traitors like Zhang Xiu who have resisted Cao Cao for a long time for Jingzhou, which is enough to make Liu Biao frightened, but this is not as good as the rising star who killed all the way from Yanzhou, Zhang Liao's majesty.
Zhang Liao's people haven't arrived yet, but his fame is far faster than people!
Almost single-handedly destroyed the entire Cao clan, drove Cao Cao, who was invincible in Yanzhou's previous expedition to the east and west, from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, and from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, this kind of limelight even overshadowed the first general of the Yan clan in the early years!
This frightened Liu Biao, but it was only half the reason, what really worried Liu Biao was Cao Cao, the thief who entrenched in Changsha uninvited!
Compared with the threat, Cao Cao is not as good as the Yan family, but its possible damage is even greater, because the Cao family did not declare war with Liu Biao! They drilled into Changsha, Liu Biao was subject to the threat of the Yan clan, even if he was unwilling and could not be reprimanded, and now Zhang Liao invaded from the east, and the fool could see that his intention was Huarong, but Cao Cao wanted to send troops and horses to block Jiangling and Zhijiang, which belonged to Nanjun to the west of Huarong.
He even said something without blushing and heartbeat, saying that Zhang Liao had no one to bend his front in Huarong, and he should not gain or lose in one city or one place, and take advantage of the dangers and obstacles on the east and west roads of the Great River to destroy his morale, so that the battle could be won.
Yes, yes, even if Cao Cao is 10,000 correct now, Liu Biao won't listen to it.
Why did Zhang Liao enter Huarong? Because what he is trying to do is Jiangling and Zhijiang, these two cities are not only important towns along the north side of the river, but also related to the gains and losses of Liu Biao's front, Nanjun only has two rivers in the north and south directions that can lead to the river, that is to say, these two cities are the retreat after the defeat of Liu Biao's front line, this kind of place can he hand over to Cao Cao?
How can it be!
Su Fei's anxious Gan Ning didn't even look at it, stood on the watchtower and watched intently at the two ships on the water playing with more than ten ships, and said, "Fighting momentum." ”
"Say that the Yan clan doesn't have a warship, brother, do you believe it? Left and right Gan didn't believe it, since they had soldiers and ships, the stalemate was just to wait for the opportunity, but they didn't know what they were waiting for, and it was not a good thing to end up with us. Gan Ning said this, leaned over and stretched out his arm to point to the water and said, "Once the Yanjun Water Village is burned, they will be able to build a bigger one in less than five days, what good will it do us?" ”
What Gan Ning said was true, the Yan army alone had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the north of Yingshui, not to mention the infantry generals of Gao Lan. The Yan clan is not attacking in a big way now in order to find a better means of attack than a big attack, once they don't find it in the end, what awaits Jingzhou will definitely be a catastrophe. It is true that a large-scale attack will also cause heavy losses to the Yan army, and may even kill and wound 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, but the losses in Jingzhou will be even greater...... They will lose the geographical advantage of Yingshui, the ancestor of Xiangyang, and Yicheng in the south will no longer be in danger.
"But ......," Su Fei didn't know how to say to Gan Ning, "What's the use of you using two ships to tease the enemy?" ”
Tease!?
Gan Ning turned around and stared at Su Fei in surprise, raised a finger and stroked at Su Fei a few times, this is really helping his brother, otherwise he would have been tied to the pillar and shot to death, "How can it be called teasing!" In the next few days, our army entered the water with two ships, and the Yan army met the battle with more than a dozen ships; If tomorrow I enter the water with eight ships, will it respond with thirty or forty ships, or even send fighting ships to attack our ships? If I lead the enemy ship to the east for more than ten miles, and then send the ships to surround it, and fight the big ship with a small number of ships, and then send a large army of foot soldiers to cross the water, and counterattack its water village from the shore, can the enemy soldiers stop it? The enemy city is more than ten miles away from the shore, and it is not a moment to ...... Capture the ship, and our army can regain control of Yingshui! ”
Su Fei was dumbfounded when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Gan Ning said was true, if Gan Ning's strategy could really succeed, it would be much better than burning down a water village in the Yan army! Now that the Yan clan is short of ships, their sailors are all Chen Bu guarding the Sun clan on the east side of the river; Jingzhou also lacked warships, the former Liao general Jiang Jin before leaving Nanyang let the captain Pan Ling, who guarded the gateway between Sizhou and Jingzhou, float down the driftwood upstream, so as to destroy many warships in Jingzhou, and now the number of warships left is on par with the Duliao army, which is still the Jingzhou sailor after the Jinfan thief joined.
If the Yan warships can be snatched over, then the battle in the north of Jingzhou will be easy to attack and defend, and whether it is to recapture Nanyang in the north or to defend Zhang Liao in the east, there will be more room for maneuver.
"It's just that Liu Yuanjun is really anxious, Cao Cao occupies Changsha, and Zhang Liao attacks Huarong from Jiangxia, and Nanjun is in danger if he is a little careless!"
"Then you can't send troops to the north shore to die!" Gan Ning said don't look over, looked left and right at no one upstairs, and then said in a gloomy tone: "The old man doesn't understand the war, it's not his turn, just don't take care of him, brother, just look at the people Zhao Guo, the king of Zhao has never mixed in the war, it's the general who makes his own ideas, where is it like Jingzhou!" The dignified Jingzhou was beaten to the point that only Nanjun was left, and I don't know what's going on! ”
