At this time, it appeared on the river of Chushui, and it was from the southwest against the current, and there was no other possibility, it could only be the Jingzhou navy, because it was not interconnected with the waterways of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and there was absolutely no possibility for Yanbei to send the navy to come. What's more, if it was his own water master, how could he not let Jiang Jin know.

Jiang Jin was very surprised by the news of the arrival of the fleet, and couldn't help but pat his forehead with regret and said loudly: "Quickly send military cavalry to recall Zhang Xiu and Li Damu!" Rely on the city to arrange a defense line of soldiers and horses, and prepare for battle! ”

In fact, Jiang Jin was not the only one who was surprised, someone was more surprised than him.

Gan Ning has long lost his war horse, and he is active in the battle array to draw a bow and shoot at the Liangzhou soldiers who are driving forward, this battle is only the contempt of the battle of Caiyang, but it is undoubtedly the most tragic battle in the whole war. The whistling Liangzhou soldiers either held spears and rode horses or drew bows to shoot, and the Jingzhou army also led bows and crossbowmen to serve, just a few miles away, but completely left a bloody road.

Those who were killed in battle, wounded and affected by the actors, without exception, were left behind. In essence, the 3,000 army led by Gan Ning was a rout fleeing for his life. What's more, at the beginning of the war, he could not claim to have the slightest command over his subordinates. The various departments are different from each other, even those military marquis are not capable of commanding the entire army, and the hasty change of formation after the Liangzhou soldiers approach is just Gan Ning's wishful thinking, he can't change the formation at all!

The greatest casualties of the army occurred at the beginning of the battle between the two armies at a position two miles south of the drawbridge, with more than 1,000 sergeants under their command, which accounted for 30% of the huge strength of the entire army, and was caught up by the Liangzhou soldiers when they could not recover the formation...... Those Liangzhou cavalry who accompanied Dong Zhuo to the Central Plains from Liangzhou in the northwest can all be called elite soldiers, even if they are only the commanders and commanders, they have the keen eye to find the fighters, not to mention such obvious flaws in the Jingzhou soldiers. It is no accident that while the Jingzhou soldiers are in a panic, there are three whole teams of Liangzhou soldiers like wolves around the gap in the formation of the Ganning Department, killing and injuring hundreds of soldiers in the blink of an eye, and what is even more terrifying is that more than 300 people were rushed by the Liangzhou soldiers to lose their armor and flee towards the suspension bridge of Caiyang City.

No one could escape, even if he was only two miles away from the city, and the only way to protect himself in the battle was his own heavy army, and the most likely way to break away from the line was to be killed by the enemy because he was alone.

Gan Ning didn't care about any of this, although he was very angry that the soldiers didn't obey the order and fled without permission, but he didn't care at all. Because of the tragic situation of these people, the rest of the soldiers would naturally hold the soldiers firmly together and march towards the south step by step.

The bow and crossbow arrays on the periphery and the infantry spears also formed a good line, and it was not so easy for the Liangzhou soldiers to break through directly.

Without enough hatred, no one wants to fight hard.

This is obviously not the right thing to use for the two armies in the war, because they are fighting hard all the time, but it is true. Even if it is a soldier who fights with the enemy with a knife, he is not willing to fight hard, and he is not willing to end his life with a mortal charge without the protection of his robe.

War is never to let oneself die on the battlefield, perhaps in the early years, Yanbei Jiang Jin and others did not know what a battle is, what a war is, those outlaws who only know the importance of life and death and promise will participate in a battle with the belief of death, but war is not like this.

Even if the Liangzhou cavalry has a huge impact on the battle array, no one would be stupid enough to ride a horse and charge into the spear forest, even if he knew that his cavalry spear would stab one or two enemy soldiers to death, and the healthy horse would cripple three or four enemy soldiers, and one person could kill and injure one enemy army, no one would do that.

Morale only makes the soldiers more efficient in achieving the goals of war that exist for victory, and does not make people insane.

Only despair can make people fearless of death.

Compared with the direct charging formation, the Liangzhou soldiers prefer to throw spears and bow and arrows, and unless there is an obvious gap in the formation, there will be a more reckless junior officer with a reckless personality to lead the troops to attack the gap. Zhang Xiu's single cavalry limited his tactics, which determined that this was not a battle to win a decisive battle, but a tug-of-war in which both sides consumed and supported morale in order to win.

In terms of morale, Zhang Xiu's subordinates were naturally higher than the Jingzhou soldiers under Gan Ning's subordinates, because they had more robes, greater power, stronger soldiers and horses, and because they had just won a victory in Caiyang City!

In comparison, Gan Ning's subordinates are overstretched, even Gan Ning, who leads the army, never thought that they would defeat the Liangzhou soldiers, all he wants is to lead as many subordinates as possible to reach Shuishui, as for what to do when they get to Shuishui...... To be honest, Gan Ning hadn't thought about it yet, but it was expected that the Jingzhou government should set up defenses along the riverbank, and if a few more warships could catch it, they would be able to swim across the river in order to plan for the future.

If not, then Gan Ning can only say that the lives of these soldiers are not good, he can leave with Su Fei left and right, and there are dozens of his brothers who follow him from the river, and the water can't stop him.

The water can't stop him, but he will definitely be able to stop these Liangzhou soldiers.

Seeing that it was only two or three miles away from the water, the Liangzhou soldiers' offensive became more and more impatient, and they pursued again and again, but at this time, there were only a few hundred Liangzhou soldiers left, but there were nearly a thousand sergeants on Ganning's side. With the reduction of the number of soldiers under his command, Gan Ning's command of soldiers and horses has become more and more handy, and it is difficult for the Liangzhou soldiers to break into their front again.

Personal bravery is sometimes useful in battle formations, at least Gan Ning used bravery to win these originally different sergeants to obey his orders, and in the battle of just a few miles of travel, Gan Ning shot two quivers and lost two hard bows.

At first, his bow strength was two stone strong bow, and then he couldn't pull it, so he changed to a hard bow with one and a half stones, and now? Gan Ning used a light bow with a stone.

It's just that seeing that he is getting closer and closer to the bank of the Chushui River, Gan Ning's heart is also a little impatient...... There were no boats on the river, and although he still had nearly a thousand Jinfan troops on the Yangtze River, it was impossible for them to be put on the water so close to the battlefield at this time. Without a ship, what would happen to these soldiers who had followed him all the way?

He opened his bow again and shot over the Liangzhou soldiers who were far away from the bow, but Gan Ning saw the Liangzhou soldiers gradually retreating backwards, getting farther and farther away from them, although there were still many pursuers wandering in the rear, but there was no enemy army in front, they seemed to be afraid of something.

Then, Gan Ning saw a succession of fleets of ships at the extreme end of his vision on the surface of the river, and there were ships and fighting ships that could be recognized, but they were as small as grains of rice from a distance, and among those warships, there was a huge figure that was obviously a building boat, almost half of the river, slowly swaying towards this side.

There is a huge big bag inserted on the ship, and the word is written on it: Liu!
