Chapter 943: Lian Zhan Lian Victory
After Gan Ning killed LΓΌ Fan, the morale of the Eastern Wu Navy dropped greatly, and the Guanzhong Navy was preparing to annihilate it in a battle.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu actually led a large number of Dongwu naval troops to arrive at this time.
Gan Ning wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face and roared loudly: "Capture the flagship of the Dongwu Navy first, and kill the brothers with me!" β
Even if Zhou Yu led the Eastern Wu Navy closer and closer, Gan Ning still wanted to take the warship away first.
Because by now, Lu Fan has died in battle, and there have been many Guanzhong Navy soldiers who have boarded this warship.
With Gan Ning's bravery, coupled with those high-morale Guan sergeants, I believe that it will not be long before this warship will be captured.
"Kill!"
Gan Ning roared angrily, brandished a big knife and killed the Dongwu naval army on the ship, invincible.
"Kill!"
Seeing that the commander was so brave, the Guanzhong Navy also shouted in unison and killed the Dongwu Navy around him.
The Eastern Wu Navy tried its best to support it, but Gan Ning was like a tiger entering the flock, killing the Eastern Wu Navy to the point of losing its armor.
"Jump, abandon ship!"
Although Zhou Yu had already led a large army to help, according to the strength of the flagship of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, there was no way to block the attack of the Guanzhong Naval Army.
It won't be long before the flagship will be taken away.
In this case, there was naturally no need for the Dongwu Navy on the boat to struggle senselessly, and some people shouted loudly and jumped into the river.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
After someone took the lead, more and more Soochow sailors jumped off the warship without hesitation in order to save their lives.
Except for some Dongwu sailors who were killed because they didn't have time to jump ship, there was no Dongwu soldier on this flagship.
"General, the naval warships of the Eastern Wu army will come over soon, so let's retreat quickly."
The deputy general of the Guanzhong Navy saw that Gan Ning was so powerful that he dared to kill the flagship of the Eastern Wu Navy alone, and he was also full of admiration in his heart.
But he also knew that when Zhou Yu led a large group of Dongwu warships over, it was very likely that he and others would be blocked in the tributaries of the Yellow River.
If we don't retreat as soon as possible, I'm afraid it'll be too late.
Gan Ning didn't talk nonsense, and shouted loudly: "Retreat, the whole army retreat!" β
Of the fifty Guanzhong warships that came to pursue, nearly ten have now been lost, but there are less than thirty Dongwu warships left.
It can be seen that the proportion of battle losses of the Dongwu warships is more than twice that of the Guanzhong warships.
Moreover, even the commander of the Eastern Wu Naval Army was killed by Gan Ning, and even the flagship of the Eastern Wu Naval Army was captured.
The first confrontation between the two naval armies ended with the victory of the Guanzhong naval army.
It's just that Gan Ning is not very satisfied with this result, and he even has some faint worries in his heart.
Because he knew that the Dongwu warship brought by Lu Fan this time was not the best and most powerful warship in Dongwu.
Rao is like this, he can cause such a big loss to the new warships in Guanzhong, and the combat effectiveness of the Dongwu Navy can be seen from this.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
The current situation does not allow Gan Ning to think too much.
He stood on top of the captured flagship of the Soochow Navy, waving his arms and roaring loudly.
The Guanzhong naval army, which was pursuing and defeating the Eastern Wu warships, did not hesitate at all after receiving the order, gave up their goal and followed Gan Ning into the waters of the Yellow River.
And those Dongwu naval forces that lost their commanders and flagships did not dare to come to pursue at all, and could only watch Gan Ning fly away.
However, it was said that Zhou Yu got the report and knew the news that Gan Ning took the initiative to fight, so he immediately set up the Eastern Wu Navy and prepared to come to confront the Guanzhong Navy Army.
I never thought that even if Zhou Yu let the warship march at full speed, it would still be a step too late after all.
LΓΌ Fan was killed in battle, the corpse capital was taken away by the Guanzhong army, and the remaining Eastern Wu naval army was also panicked and demoralized.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yu sighed slightly, then set his eyes on Xiao Pingjin, and muttered to himself: "Does the Guanzhong Navy finally dare to fight?" β
Zhou Yu did not lose his fighting spirit because of the defeat of the vanguard water army, but led the water army to approach Xiaopingjin and called for battle behind the Guanzhong army water village.
The warships lined up, Xu Sheng drove a warship, slowly approached the Guanzhong Military Water Village, and shouted loudly: "Gan Ning Pifu, dare to go out of the village to fight?" β
Gan Ning withdrew his troops because I was outnumbered, not because I was afraid of the Eastern Wu army.
Now that Zhou Yu led the water army to the door, Gan Ning naturally refused to give up, opened the door of the water village, and led the huge Guanzhong water army to meet the battle.
After such a long period of preparation, many warships have been built, and the soldiers are also familiar with those captured Soochow warships.
Now, it is time for the naval armies of both sides to fight to the death.
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
Warships poured out from the water village, and then quickly lined up and waited for the Dongwu naval army.
Today, the scale of the Guanzhong Navy has far exceeded that of the Dongwu Navy Army, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation, Gan Ning is not afraid at all.
Gan Ning stood on a warship, which was much larger than the flagship he had just taken.
Sergeant Guan drove the warship and slowly approached Xu Sheng.
Gan Ning held a head in his left hand and shouted at Xu Shengshuijun: "This person came to call for battle without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and his head became my trophy." β
"Do you want your head to be my collection?"
Xu Sheng was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "The thief will be rampant and eat me with an arrow!" β
Xu Sheng's archery skills are extraordinary, and his arm strength should not be underestimated, even if he is far away from Gan Ning, an arrow still shoots quickly towards Gan Ning's face.
It's just that because the distance is too far, when the arrow flies in front of Gan Ning, it has already become the end of the crossbow.
Gan Ning sneered twice, didn't block with a weapon, and directly threw away Lu Fan's head, and then grabbed the arrow with his left hand.
"Smack!"
After grabbing the arrow, Gan Ning threw it on the deck, and the arrow instantly shattered into two pieces.
"Haven't you eaten, why are you like a, without the slightest strength?"
Then, Gan Ning's slightly unflattened mocking words suddenly reached Xu Sheng's ears.
"Hahahaha!"
Sergeant Guan, when he heard Gan Ning's slightly ruffian words, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"!"
"!"
"!"
Hearing the neat sounds, Xu Sheng's face was red, and he was about to drive the warship to crash over.
"The general is angry, and the Metropolitan Governor will let us return to our own position!"
Just when Xu Sheng was enraged, he was stopped by a soldier beside him, pointed to the flag on the warship behind him, and admonished.
Xu Sheng is brave and decisive, and he is also a great general, but Gan Ning's tone is too flat, so he almost lost his mind.
As soon as his soldiers said this, Xu Sheng immediately came back to his senses, and no longer paid attention to the sergeant Guan who was making mockery, and directly ordered the warship to return.
Gan Ning watched Xu Sheng leave, and then said with some sighs: "It's a pity that I didn't anger that guy." β
As a general, how could Gan Ning be the kind of little deflated man who deliberately insults others?
He could see that Xu Sheng was also a general of Eastern Wu, so he deliberately provoked him with words, hoping that Xu Sheng would be hot-headed and rushed to kill.
At that time, Gan Ning could take the opportunity to kill Xu Sheng, and fortunately thwart the enemy's spirit in front of the battle.
"Since you can't lure Xu Sheng over, let's have a hard-fought water battle."
On the battlefield, although strategy is very important, in some cases, it still depends on the collision of strength.
Some conspiracies and tricks, if they encounter an upright teacher, often do not have the slightest effect, but may even fail.
"Pass my military order, take an offensive formation, and advance!"
With Gan Ning's order, the huge fleet of warships of the Guanzhong Army immediately went down the river and slaughtered the Dongwu Naval Army.
Seeing that the Dongwu Navy was about to enter the range of bows and arrows, Gan Ning immediately shouted loudly: "The whole army stops, the bows and arrows are wound, ready to shoot!" β
The Guanzhong army was in the upper hand, and the range of arrows was naturally far greater than that of the Soochow naval army.
Many people may think that the direction of the wind has little influence on the range of arrows, but this is a big mistake.
If Chen Xu is here, he will use his experience of playing badminton in later generations to tell everyone about the influence of wind direction on shooting range.
Today's Guanzhong Army, after they occupy the upper hand, the range of bows and arrows is even more than twice that of the Eastern Wu Naval Army.
Just when the Dongwu Navy was slowly advancing and the bows and arrows could not shoot the Guanzhong Navy Army, the arrows of the Guanzhong Army immediately poured down.
The overwhelming arrows caused a trace of confusion in the formation of the Eastern Wu warships, and many Eastern Wu soldiers were shot by the arrows.
It's just that Zhou Yu still commanded calmly, issued one order after another, and finally let the Eastern Wu soldiers stabilize the formation, and then slowly advanced forward against the rain of arrows.
Seeing this, Gan Ning smiled slightly, still commanding the archers to shoot.
Seeing that the Dongwu naval army was getting closer and closer, and his own side had entered the range of the enemy's bow and arrow, Gan Ning shouted loudly again: "The whole army retreats, and the archers continue to shoot!" β
Sergeant Guan carried out Gan Ning's order, and the warship did not advance but retreated, relying on the speed advantage, and soon broke out of the range of the Soochow warship.
At the same time, the archers of the Guanzhong Army were still shooting arrows non-stop.
In front of the situation, the Dongwu Navy could only be beaten passively, facing round after round of arrows, but because he was at a disadvantage, he had no way to shoot the Guanzhong Army.
In this water war, the grievances of the Soochow naval army can be seen.
The direction of the wind and the performance of the warship have a great influence on the battle situation, and they can also be seen in the leopard.
Zhou Yu stood on the deck of the flagship, watching the battle situation from afar, and couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw that the Guanzhong Navy was advancing and retreating under the command of Gan Ning.
Zhou Yu said left and right: "Gan Xingba really has the essence of water warfare, if you don't kill this person, it will be too difficult for the Eastern Wu Navy to win." β
After sighing, Zhou Yu immediately issued an order: "The warships are separated, and the distance between the front and rear is widened!" β
After Zhou Yu's order was conveyed, the formation of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, which was still relatively dense, suddenly became loose.
After the formation changed, the lethality of the Guanzhong army's arrows was much smaller, and many arrows were shot directly into the river.
Until this time, Zhou Yu still did not give the order to retreat, and the Dongwu warship always pushed forward unswervingly.
"General, the warship can't go back any further, otherwise the Xiaopingjin camp will be exposed to the front of the Eastern Wu Naval Army."
Hearing the voice of the adjutant general, Gan Ning immediately nodded slightly, and then shouted: "Set up an attack formation, charge the whole army, and crash into it!" β
Today's Gan Ning has retreated to the vicinity of the naval army camp, and there is no way to retreat, so he can only give up the kite tactics and give the order to charge.
Zhou Yu had long anticipated the movements of the Guanzhong Naval Army, and before they could start charging, he ordered to change the formation again.
The loose formation at the beginning soon turned into an offensive formation, and the strong fighting quality of the Soochow Navy was fully displayed at this time.
"Kill!"
The soldiers on both sides shouted, rushed up in warships, and a fierce battle broke out on the wide surface of the Yellow River.
Rain of arrows, arrows, slapping rods, ramming, hooking, hook rejection......
All kinds of water warfare tactics were vividly interpreted by both sides, and after the warships of both sides were scuffled together, the Guanzhong army also lost its advantage in the upstream.
Rao is like this, at the beginning of the collision, there were still many Soochow warships, which were crashed by the Guanzhong military warships relying on the advantage of going downstream.
This water battle lasted until nightfall, and the casualties on both sides were very large, but compared with the Guanzhong Naval Army, the casualties of the Eastern Wu Naval Army were much more.
Rao is like this, under the command of Zhou Yu, the Eastern Wu Navy Army, plus Zhu Zhi, Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Ling Tong and other good generals, still caused huge losses to the Guanzhong Navy Army.
"Woooooo
As night fell, it was not suitable for water battles, and the sound of gold suddenly echoed above the river.
The soldiers of the Eastern Wu Navy, who had been fighting for most of the day, also felt deeply tired at this time, and after hearing the sound of Mingjin, they began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Gan Ning led the army to chase and kill, but did not achieve any results, so he had to retreat to the camp.
"The combat effectiveness of the Dongwu Navy is really unexpected."
The Guanzhong Navy has an advantage in terms of soldiers, morale, location, time, and warships, but the result of this confrontation is unsatisfactory.
Gan Ning couldn't imagine what the battle would have been like if it hadn't been for Xu Xian's strategy to destroy 10,000 Dongwu naval troops, and then capture their warships.
"It seems that I used to underestimate the heroes of the world too much."
After sighing, Gan Ning immediately led the navy back to Shuizhai, and then began to repair the warship.
In the following month, Gan Ning led the naval army every time, relying on the advantages of troops, warships, and geographical advantages, and took the initiative to confront the Eastern Wu naval army.
In just one month, more than 70 large and small water battles broke out between the two sides, and many warships were destroyed.
Not only that, Gan Ning killed the outside of the Dongwu Water Military Camp several times, but he was eventually repulsed, and there was no way to capture the Dongwu Water Military Camp.
Rao is so, in the war between the two sides, the Guanzhong naval army still occupies an absolute advantage, although it has not achieved much success, but every time it fights, it has some gains.
Gan Ning fought and won successively, and finally let Chen Xu relax a little, but he still warned Gan Ning to be cautious and not to fall for Zhou Yu's tricks.
