Chapter 686: Encounter
Not far from the city of Zitong, one Yizhou ship after another kept coming and going, among which there were a few warships, but more were grain ships.
Although Yizhou is rich, there are many mountains in many places, and it is extremely troublesome to transport grain and grass, which makes Yizhou's water transportation very developed.
Correspondingly, the combat effectiveness of the Yizhou naval army is also quite impressive, not much worse than Jingzhou and Jiangdong; However, when it comes to the scale of the navy, it cannot be compared with Jingzhou and Jiangdong.
A Yizhou general, sitting comfortably on the bow of the warship, bored looking at the boats coming and going on the river.
He couldn't help but say to his subordinates: "The territory has been quiet for a long time, where will there be thieves?" General Zhang asked me to wait for the water diversion army to escort the grain and grass, I was too careful, right? ”
Liu Zhang's governance of Yizhou is very good, at least the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the bandits are slowly disappearing.
Zitong belongs to the belly of Shudi, and there is no threat from other princes at all, Zhang Ren asked this deputy general to lead the warship to escort grain and grass along the way, and the deputy general felt that he had no chance to make meritorious service at all.
When his subordinates heard the words of the partial general, they also echoed and said: "In the past, I only heard that the Bajun Jinfan thieves were crisscrossing the waterway, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to encircle and suppress it, because he did not meet the general. ”
"Today, the general is powerful in the major rivers, and the water thieves are terrified when they hear the name of the general, how dare they touch the general's tiger beard?"
When the deputy general heard the sycophants of his subordinates, he couldn't help but look at it, and said with a sigh: "I hate that brocade thief who has disappeared for many years, otherwise I will definitely exterminate him so that I can earn some credit." ”
The subordinate official, when he heard this, naturally slapped his ass for a while, and slapped the general a little flutteringly.
"Ahh
"Run!"
"There are water thieves!"
Just when the general was immersed in the praise of his subordinates, the fleet in front of him suddenly rioted, and many boatmen shouted in horror.
"Water thieves, where are the water thieves?"
When the general heard the shouts of the crowd, he was suddenly shocked.
Don't look at him, he seems to hope that he can get some credit for encountering water thieves, but escorting grain and grass is a big deal, and he is also worried that something will really happen, which is a big crime.
"General, General, many strange-shaped ships suddenly appeared in front of you, and they have rushed towards this side!"
A naval colonel drove a small boat to the adjutant general and shouted loudly.
The general hurriedly asked, "How many warships and how many men and horses does the other side have?" ”
The general of the navy said in a panic: "There are about fifty warships, and the total number of people is at least three thousand!" ”
The general's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "How is this possible? ”
The reason why the partial general thinks it is impossible is because there are no water thieves with such a huge strength in Yizhou; Even if there were really a hundred warships, it would not be possible to fit 3,000 men and horses.
The general of the navy said firmly: "The number of people will only be more, and it will never be less than three thousand!" ”
This time, the general was not calm, he pulled his throat and shouted: "The grain ship stops advancing, don't panic, slowly retreat; The naval warships are in defensive formation, don't be the first to attack! ”
Until this time, the partial general still had illusions, hoping that this Biaoshui army was Yizhou's secret team.
I have to say that this general is still quite talented.
It didn't take long for him to pacify the chaotic convoy of grain carriers and lead the naval warships to the front.
Looking up, the vice admiral really saw the dense warships and sailed this way, but there was no flag on the ship.
The deputy general walked to the front of the warship, and shouted loudly: "I am the captain of Hengjiang, who is coming?" ”
On the opposite warship, Gan stood quietly at the bow of the ship, with a large flag with the word 'Gan' placed beside him, looking at the fleet in front of him with great interest.
Xu Huang stood next to Gan Ning and said with a smile: "Our army didn't carry much grain and grass in the first place, and it was a great joy to be able to meet a grain ship just near Zitong." ”
Tian Feng also said with a smile: "If you don't take it, you will be blamed." It seems that the heavens also want our army to quickly conquer Zitong. General Gan must take the opportunity to capture all these people as much as possible! ”
Gan Ning laughed twice when he heard this, and said: "The military advisor has an order, Ning An dares to disobey?" ”
After laughing, Gan Ning was still standing at the bow of the boat, ignoring the Yizhou general who shouted, just kept gesticulating.
As Gan Ning's gestures kept changing, the warships behind him also began to change formation, and quickly drove towards the opposite side in a semi-encircled arc.
Seeing this situation, how can the Yizhou general not know the other party's thoughts?
His face changed suddenly, and he secretly thought: "Watching these people act, they are definitely not water thieves, but apart from the Yizhou Water Army, which force here can have such power?" ”
"I'm afraid that even the Yizhou Navy may not be as good as these people."
The deputy general of Yizhou shouted a few times, but Gan Ning still did not answer. Seeing that the opponent's warships were constantly approaching this side, Vice Admiral Yizhou finally let go of his last luck.
He shouted: "Attack the formation, bow and arrow wound, ready to fight!" ”
After shouting, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he muttered in a low voice: "Even though you have excellent warships and a large number of people, you really don't know whether you live or die to underestimate the navy under my command so much!" ”
The Yizhou Navy is in the upper reaches and will have a very big advantage in the water war.
When Ganning's fleet encountered this situation, it should have shrunk its formation and prepared to resist the collision of the upstream warships.
Fighting against the popular army in a semi-encircled posture like this is completely ignorant of life or death.
As long as the Yizhou navy can increase its horsepower and rush down the river violently, it can quickly disperse Ganning's navy.
Gan Ning saw the actions of the other general's movements, and a bright smile appeared on his face. Does he really not understand such a superficial strategy of water warfare? Of course not!
Ignoring the Yizhou warships that were getting closer and closer, Gan Ning just quietly calculated the distance, and when the distance between the two reached a certain level, Gan Ning shouted sharply: "Whole army, speed up!" ”
"Boom!"
With Gan Ning's order, the warship, which was still slowly moving against the current, suddenly rushed forward.
"Archer, prepare to release your arrows!"
Vice Admiral Yizhou was even fantasizing about the situation of crashing the unknown warship downstream to pieces.
But he didn't expect that the opponent's warship could sail so fast while sailing against the current, and he was immediately shocked.
However, if he wants to change the formation now, it is already too late, so he can only hit the front head.
"Shoot the arrows!"
In water warfare, bows and arrows come first.
Gan Ning and Yizhou's partial generals ordered the release of arrows almost at the same time, and as soon as they finished speaking, dense arrows were shot from the warships of both sides.
"Chirp!"
Some of the arrows were shot in the air, and some were shot straight towards Gan Ning, but they were easily cut down by Gan Ning and Xu Huang.
"The strategist should go back to the cabin first."
Xu Huang looked at Tian Feng, who was still standing on the bow of the boat, his face unchanged, and although he admired his courage very much, he still began to persuade him.
Tian Feng laughed twice, suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist, and said, "Gongming, don't think that I'm just a scribe who has no power to restrain chickens. ”
With that, he swung the sword in his hand and slashed off an arrow.
Gan Ning and Xu Huang didn't say anything more, but they also paid great attention to Tian Feng's safety.
The rest of the ship non-commissioned officers were not as comfortable as Gan Ning, and the army soldiers held shields to cover the sailors behind them.
The sailors can still shoot arrows accurately on the rocking boat.
The gap between the soldiers and soldiers on both sides was too large, and the Yizhou naval army was obviously seriously suppressed. In order to avoid arrows, many Yizhou sailors who shook the pulp even slowed down their rowing speed.
On the contrary, the new warship in Guanzhong has a new power system, which can move quickly even if no one is paddling.
Under the advantages of the other, when the warships of the two sides collided together, the warships of the Yizhou Navy were all hit miserably.
Not only because of the speed, the hull of the new warship in Guanzhong is very strong, and the front is covered with iron sheets.
"Iron claws, hooks, board the ship!"
As more and more warships crowded together, the impact finally ceased to be violent, and Gan Ning yelled to command the soldiers to seize the ship.
He personally hoisted the banner of the word 'Gan' on the boat, and then shouted: "Bajun Gan Xingba is here, I want to surrender as soon as possible!" ”
The Guanzhong Navy obeyed Gan Ning's order and began to use hooks and ropes to board the ship to engage in close combat with the Yizhou Navy Army.
Due to the superiority in the number of the Guanzhong naval army, the morale is now high, so there is no surprise at all in the battle situation, and it is a completely one-sided situation.
"Gan Xingba, he is the leader of the Jinfan thieves at the beginning? Isn't he already in Guanzhong? ”
When the general of the Yizhou Navy heard Gan Ning's roar, his face couldn't help but turn pale, and it was only then that he knew that the enemy was the Guanzhong Navy Army.
The Guanzhong Army is powerful all over the world, although the naval army has not yet made great achievements, but just the name of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning is enough to scare many people.
Don't look at the deputy general of the Yizhou Navy Army, it's a pity that he didn't meet the Jinfan thief, otherwise he could have exterminated him in exchange for military exploits.
After really meeting Gan Ning, he suddenly felt that his courage had been lost.
Never underestimate the prestige of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning in Yizhou, especially for those who mix on the water, Gan Ning is an extremely terrifying existence.
In addition, now that his own navy is obviously at a disadvantage, the deputy general of the Yizhou navy simply jumped into the water and wanted to dive and escape.
Gan Ning had already stared at this deputy general of the Yizhou Navy Army, and when he saw that he had already lost the situation, he jumped into the river without hesitation, and immediately sneered twice, and jumped into the water.
The war came suddenly and ended very quickly.
When the Yizhou Navy saw that the main general had fled, they had no fighting spirit, most of them surrendered, and the grain convoy was quickly controlled.
(To be honest, I've been in a bad mood lately, and the number of people reading this book is tens of thousands, but how many actually subscribe?) You ask for updates, you ask for quality, you ask for passion, you don't like it, you scold when you don't like it, do you spend a pack of cigarettes a month, or two bottles of drinks to subscribe? To be honest, the author is not obliged to write a book for you for free, doesn't the author have to eat, doesn't he have to live? Many people complain that good books are eunuchs, have you ever wondered why eunuchs? If you don't get paid off, you lack passion, and you're disheartened, why don't you go to prison? I have had the urge to be a eunuch many times, thinking that it is not worth it, and I want to see if in a few years, there will be people who will feel sorry for this book. I rarely say how I look at pirated copies, but it's really disgusting to see those people in the book review area, looking like they are commanding. )
