Inside the lake, reeds are rampant.

It's just that now it's late autumn, and the once green reeds have turned yellow.

Zhou Yu led the Dongwu naval army and shuttled back and forth in the reeds, but the faces of the Dongwu soldiers were all vegetable.

Because Gan Ning's raid was too sudden, Zhou Yu didn't have time to bring his baggage at all, but led small and medium-sized warships and fled to the reeds in a panic.

As a result, many of the Soochow warships had no food at all.

Although they were all sailors, and the soldiers were very good at water, there were no fishing nets or anything like that on board.

The soldiers of the Eastern Wu also went into the water to catch fish, and although there were a lot of fish caught, compared to the huge number of the Eastern Wu Navy, it was still a drop in the bucket.

Up to now, the soldiers of the Eastern Wu Navy did not obey the command very much, but began to look for food in the reeds, catch fish, and feed their stomachs.

Xu Sheng looked at the soldiers of the Eastern Wu Navy who were scattered and looking for food, and there was a look of pain in his eyes.

"The Grand Duke!"

Zhou Yu's face was still the same ancient and modern expression.

He looked up at the sky and said, "Survival and destruction, glory and shame, sometimes it is only in a moment. ”

"Has Wen Xiang ever regretted following me?"

Xu Sheng shook his head vigorously and said, "This defeat is not because of the war. ”

"Others may not know about Du Du's talent, don't I Xu Sheng know? can follow the side of the governor, although there is no regret in death! ”

Zhou Yu's handsome face showed a bright smile and said, "However, if everyone is lost here, won't Dongwu be greatly damaged?" ”

Xu Sheng was silent for a long time before he mustered up the courage to say: "Actually, then we can abandon the warship, retreat directly by land, and return to the coalition camp." ”

Zhou Yu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "If you return in embarrassment, Dongwu will really collapse." ”

Zhou Yu raised his head and watched the west wind howling, blowing those reeds crookedly, but his eyes were very bright.

After watching it for a long time, Zhou Yu turned his head to Xu Sheng and said, "Wen Xiang, if I say that I want to capture Gan Ning alive today, do you believe it?" ”

Xu Sheng was stunned on the spot, and after a long time, he nodded heavily and said, "Letter!" ”

A smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face and said, "You called all the generals over and let them do so." ”

……

Gan Ning was full of spirit, led the Guanzhong warship to ride the wind and waves, and killed the reeds.

"Is that there?"

Gan Ning pointed to the reeds in front of him, which was connected to the Yellow River, and asked softly.

"General Qiyu, this is the place!"

Gan Ning smiled, two rows of snow-white teeth shining in the morning light.

"Pass on my military order, block the entrance to the reeds, and don't let any of the warships of Eastern Wu escape!"

"Yes!"

The wind lifted Gan Ning's robe, and he stood proudly on the warship, with a feeling that the overall situation was under control.

After the Guanzhong Navy blocked the entrance to the reeds, Gan Ning immediately led the army and slaughtered into the lake.

"The whole army is on standby, send a clipper ship to reconnoiter the movements of the Soochow naval army!"

At this time, Gan Ning was not in a hurry, because he knew that the current Dongwu Navy could not afford any wind and waves at all.

Even if Zhou Yu had all kinds of calculations, as long as he annoyed Gan Ning, a single fire could turn the entire reed into ashes.

As for the Guanzhong Naval Army, they firmly occupy the upper hand, but they are not afraid of the fire affecting themselves at all.

It took a long time for the reconnaissance ships to come back one after another, and after Gan Ning got the information, he suddenly felt a little incredible.

"Are you saying that the Dongwu Navy is busy fishing, and there is no preparation for war at all?"

The sergeant in charge of the reconnaissance replied, "Exactly." ”

Gan Ning pondered for a long time, and secretly thought: "It seems that Zhou Yu didn't bring food when he broke through, which caused the soldiers of Eastern Wu to fall into a situation of lack of food. ”

"I was originally going to burn the reeds clean with a fire, but since the Eastern Wu Navy has become like this, I can also try it and capture these warships."

Another reconnaissance soldier said, "General Qiyu, we also saw a landing port by the lake. ”

Gan Ning was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "Could it be that Zhou Yu is ready to abandon the warship and lead the Eastern Wu soldiers to escape by land?" ”

The soldier pondered for a long time before he could cautiously say: "Although the Eastern Wu Navy has established a landing port, there is no sign of landing and escaping. ”

Gan Ning's brows furrowed, puzzled.

"General, General!"

At that moment, a voice was heard from a distance.

Gan Ning raised his eyes and looked at it, only to find a warship, slowly moving towards this side.

Beside him, there was also a small Soochow battleship.

"General, we have captured a Wu warship, and there are some Eastern Wu soldiers on board."

Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and bring them over!" ”

Gan Ning knew the dilemma of the lack of food in the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and the current Eastern Wu Naval Army was not an opponent of the Guanzhong Army at all.

Therefore, Gan Ning wanted to capture all the warships of Eastern Wu.

It's just that he doesn't know much about the situation of the Dongwu Navy now, so he is a little hesitant.

But now, when he is sleepy, someone will send him a pillow, and those captured soldiers of Eastern Wu will definitely be able to tell Gan Ning a lot of things.

The two warships slowly approached, and it didn't take long for them to come together, and several Eastern Wu soldiers were escorted over and knelt in front of Gan Ning.

Gan Ning looked at a few people condescendingly and said, "I asked, and you answered." ”

"If you answer it, not only will you live, but you will also have food for you, if not, I don't mind adding a few more souls under the knife."

When several Eastern Wu soldiers heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they said in unison: "It's okay for the general to ask, as long as I know something, I will tell the truth." ”

For ordinary soldiers, they have no backbone, as long as they can survive, surrender is not a humiliating thing.

After all, many soldiers in the troubled times either joined the army to get a bite to eat, or they were forcibly conscripted into the army.

There are very few soldiers who are willing to become soldiers.

Gan Ning saw the performance of several Eastern Wu soldiers, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and said, "That's good." ”

"Now tell me, is there no food and grass in your army?"

The few Dongwu Navy soldiers who were kneeling on the ground nodded in unison and said, "Because I was in a hurry to escape from the camp, I didn't have time to bring food and grass at all. ”

"Therefore, after coming to this reed, the brothers kept fishing, hoping to be satisfied."

"It's just that so many warships have entered the reeds, and the fish have long been scared away, and although some fish have been caught, they are not enough for everyone to eat."

"My brothers, we're still hungry."

Gan Ning smiled even more on his face, waved his hand to the soldier beside him, and said, "Give them food." ”

The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly brought a lot of food.

After a few Dongwu soldiers saw the food, their eyes suddenly glowed green, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it now.

It's just that their lives are in Gan Ning's hands, and they don't dare to act rashly, but they just look at Gan Ning pitifully.

Seeing this, Gan Ning waved his hand and said, "Eat!" ”

When a few Dongwu soldiers heard this, they didn't care about anything else, and directly pounced on them to fight for food.

"It seems that the Dongwu Navy is indeed exhausted, otherwise, these people would not be like this."

Don't look at Gan Ning as a little rough, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair, deliberately testing these Eastern Wu soldiers with food.

If their performance was slightly wrong, Gan Ning could see some clues, but the performance of these soldiers did not disappoint Gan Ning.

Seeing the appearance of several people gobbling up, Gan Ning didn't ask anything at this time, but waited quietly.

It wasn't until a few people had eaten enough that Gan Ning asked again: "Since the army has run out of food, why don't you lead the army to retreat, abandon the warship and flee from the land?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that we will wipe you all out in the reeds?"

After the soldiers of Eastern Wu were full, they were even more confident in their words.

One of the soldiers preemptively said, "We all wanted to escape by land at first, and some generals thought the same way. ”

"No, there was also a landing point built on the reed side, and everyone was ready to abandon the warship and escape from that position."

"It's just that the Metropolitan Governor and many generals are unwilling to abandon the warships, because these are our last warships."

"If it weren't for these warships, our navy would basically be gone."

"We naturally understand the thoughts of the Grand Governor, but no one wants to stay here and wait for death, so many brothers have started to make trouble."

When Gan Ning heard this, he asked with interest: "Since you started to make trouble, why haven't you left until now?" ”

The man who had just spoken, after hearing Gan Ning's words, suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was his own enemy, and immediately became a little hesitant.

A cold light flashed in Gan Ning's eyes, and he suddenly swung the big knife in his hand and cut off the soldier's head.

Blood, which suddenly dyed the deck red.

"Ahh

The rest of the Eastern Wu soldiers were all shocked when they saw this.

They didn't expect that the man, who was still talking well just now, would kill someone without saying a word.

They were frightened and wanted to escape, but they found that there were Sergeant Guan all around, and their faces suddenly turned pale with fright.

Gan Ning cut off a person's head, but his face still did not change, but said to those people with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to answer my question, you will not die." ”

"Since this person is hesitant, he is not qualified to survive."

At this time, Gan Ning's two rows of white teeth were shining in the sun, but in the eyes of a few Eastern Wu soldiers, they felt cold all over their bodies.

"The general just asks, as long as the villain knows, he will definitely know everything."

The smile on Gan Ning's face became stronger and stronger, and he said, "Then, answer my previous question." ”

The soldiers of Eastern Wu did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly replied: "At first, everyone was making a fuss, but later, the Metropolitan Governor personally came forward and informed us of some things, and everyone's emotions were calmed down. ”

Gan Ning's eyes flashed and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The Eastern Wu soldiers replied: "The Governor of the Metropolitan said that it will not be long before the coalition army will send soldiers to bring grain and grass. ”

"Not only that, but the Jingzhou Navy is also coming over soon."

"As long as we can make it through two days, everything will change."

When Zhou Yu was mentioned, this soldier suddenly showed a look of admiration on his face, and it could be seen that the Eastern Wu soldier really loved Zhou Yu.

It's just that Gan Ning's heart sank at this time.

He originally thought that after defeating the Eastern Wu Naval Army, the Guanzhong Naval Army would be able to cross the Yellow River and harass the rear of the coalition army.

But after all, he still forgot that in addition to the Dongwu Navy, the Jingzhou Navy's army was not a good match.

After all, the Jingzhou Navy has been able to compete with the Dongwu Navy for so many years, and how bad will its combat effectiveness be?

It's just that Gan Ning also knows that compared with the Dongwu Navy, the Jingzhou Navy's army is still a little worse.

Otherwise, they would not have been repeatedly defeated by the Soochow naval army while occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"Tell me, when did Zhou Yu say this?"

The soldier didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and said, "Yesterday." ”

Gan Ning's face changed greatly, and he muttered to himself: "I said this sentence yesterday, so it is very likely that the Jingzhou Navy will arrive here today." ”

Thinking of this, Gan Ning no longer had the calmness he used to be.

It's not that he is afraid of the Jingzhou Water Army, but Gan Ning is worried that after the Jingzhou Water Army comes, he will have no chance to capture Zhou Yu alive.

"Pass my military order, charge the whole army, and capture Zhou Yu alive!"

Gan Ning also thought about giving up the warships of Eastern Wu, and then burned the reeds with a fire.

However, after the field investigation, I found that the lake is not full of reeds, and those places where reeds grow are relatively shallow, and it is not easy for warships to travel.

Of course, some small warships were still able to sail around the reeds.

It's just that most of the Eastern Wu Navy is not in the reeds, and it can be seen that Zhou Yu is also guarding against Gan Ning's fire attack.

"Now setting fire to the reeds, I'm afraid I can only force Zhou Yu and others to abandon the warship and escape from the land, and want to wipe out the Eastern Wu naval army, but it is unlikely."

Gan Ning stood on the warship, his eyes wandering among the reeds.

"If you first attack the Soochow Navy, force them into the reeds, and then set it on fire, the Soochow Navy's army will definitely not be spared."

Gan Ning has always been the kind of person who is resolute and resolute, and after making a decision in his heart, he immediately put it into action.

"Knock knock!"

The arrival of the Guanzhong Navy had already alarmed the Dongwu Navy, and the Dongwu warships that had been scattered also began to converge in Zhou Yu's direction at this time.

"Kill!"

Gan Ning was domineering and led the Guanzhong Navy to launch a fierce attack on the Eastern Wu Navy.

Zhou Yu always stood on the flagship deck, commanding calmly in the rain of arrows, and the soldiers of Eastern Wu were also infected by the temperament of the commander and resisted desperately.

Therefore, even if the Guanzhong naval army had the upper hand, there was no way to defeat the Eastern Wu naval army in a short period of time, let alone expel them to the reeds.
