Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Night Attack Fails, and the Thunderbolt Shows Its Might Again
Zhennan Island to Panyu is not less than 200 miles away, to let the navy of this era travel at night, it is estimated that it may not be dawn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Ou Xian's men were familiar with the terrain on the flagship, those men had never sailed at night.
In later generations, the Pearl River estuary was densely populated with large and small islands, which were all accumulated by the sediment impacted by the current, and now many places are shallow water.
Where the river and the sea are connected, the water is stable. Even if a windy night adds variables, it's better than rocking the whole way.
After Cao Cao discussed with Gan Ning and Cai Mao, he had already marched in a hurry during the day, and he was only thirty miles away from Panyu City.
While there was still a little light in the sky, when the moon was high, the Han army was only more than ten miles away from the county seat.
During this time, the political situation in Nanhai County was turbulent, and the little people could see that a county guard who had done evil had left first, and the new Shi Huang Taishou was said to have arrived, but no one saw it.
The atmosphere in Panyu City suddenly became tense, and I don't know when the Han army had such a powerful army, and the soldiers patrolled the streets, and the murderous spirit rushed towards them.
Perhaps it is the government's clean-up, the closer you get to the city, the wider the waterway becomes, and the bottom of the water is at least three or four feet deep.
There are more than a dozen ships of about one or two zhang docked in front of them, could it be that Nanhai County also has a large-scale naval army?
Cao Cao was about to ask a question, but Gan Ning's face was still cold, and the commanding soldiers made a long and short conch sound, which was not abrupt in the somewhat noisy port.
I saw four ships coming out of the crowd, suddenly accelerating, and with the naked eye, it was about five or six zhang away from the opponent's fleet, and it was obvious that the Han army had been discovered.
They made all kinds of noisy noises, and when they heard it, it was not Chinese, but probably the local dialect.
The commanders of the ships did not wait for Gan Ning's orders, and clusters of rockets were fired at the opposite side.
It didn't rain for the past two days, and at first there were people shouting to put out the fire, watching the fire get bigger and bigger, and people jumped into the water one after another from those boats.
The combat effectiveness of the naval army in the South China Sea is so weak? Cao Cao was very suspicious, it was impossible for the army to be so strong, and he had nothing to do about it, and the navy was too vegetable, at least come out to fight.
He found that the Han army did not shoot those who were diving, and he was very surprised: "General Gan, why don't you kill all the enemy people?" ā
"We're mistaken, those aren't trolls." Gan Ning's tone was steady, and he couldn't hear emotion: "It's just the merchant's fleet." ā
Cao Cao suddenly realized, and looked around, there were large and small ships parked everywhere, and no ships came to attack.
Instead, there were those who had fallen into the water shouting for help, dropping their tools from the other boats for them to climb up.
"We are the Great Han Sailors!" Gan Ning shouted in a deep voice: "Come to recover Nanhai County, all the losses of the merchants will be registered tomorrow and compensated in full." ā
Even if he got along with Zhao Yun for a short time, he felt very deeply. is not from a good background, Gan Ning also believes that in order to manage a place well, the people's will is the most important.
The losses of the merchants, not to mention the Southern Expeditionary Army, can be afforded by himself.
Zhang He was very interesting, when he left, he gave a lot of valuable things, but Zhao Yun didn't accept them, I believe he will agree with his own proposition, and he can't let the innocent businessman suffer.
The noisy port suddenly fell silent, and the deeds of Zhao Yun, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, slowly spread along with some caravans.
I don't know if it's as rumored, just look at the actions of the navy tomorrow.
When the navy approached the burning ship, it jumped off a number of water spirits and went to the bottom to clean the anchors that had sunk inside.
Soon, it is estimated that the anchors were cut off, and the water ghosts climbed onto the boat, and the ship continued to move forward, close to the fire boat, and many poles stretched out together, and the two ships were specially cleaned, and there was a large area where they could dock.
Panyu City suffered a lot for the defenders. If the attacking side has a naval army, the land gate is equivalent to being abolished.
That group of mysterious troops had been waiting for a long time, and the black pressure had gathered from somewhere, waiting for the Han army to come ashore.
At this moment, the best opportunity for a surprise attack has been lost, and there is no way to do it, so it is naturally impossible for Cao Cao to complain about Gan Ning.
However, it was obviously impossible to attack again at night, the enemy was already prepared, and their own side was lost.
"Woooooooo With Gan Ning's movements, the herald beside him blew up the conch.
There was a rain of arrows from the ship, and the army fell in large swath.
Cao Cao was so happy in his heart that he couldn't imagine that Gan Ning was so skilled in battle, and the grasp of the fighter was just right.
After a while, a group of locals was brought to the command ship.
"Don't worry, you'll sleep peacefully on Ben's ship tonight." Gan Ning comforted gently: "Early tomorrow morning, lead the way for our army." As long as you capture Panyu City, you will naturally have benefits. ā
It must be said that this army that suddenly appeared was incompatible with the relationship with the locals.
How to say it, it should be caused by their master, the nostrils are facing the sky, and I have not heard of any family connecting with them.
Several local bigwigs originally thought that this was General Zhennan's team, and they specially joined forces to go to ****.
The gifts were accepted, and they didn't even see the main characters, just a few large-scale soldiers, so that the local people could raise military rations and all military supplies, fortunately, it was not unbearable.
Tonight's Panyu City is destined to be a sleepless night, the big families in the city are active, and many people hear Gan Ning's words and know that this is the match for the rumored Southern Expeditionary Army that loves the people.
Cao Cao saw that he couldn't play a role, so he ordered to go down early, let everyone rest well, and fight tomorrow.
During this time, the Left Route Army was suffocated, like a dog biting a flea, and did not know how to bite it.
I don't know why, and I lost a lot of brothers.
With the appeasement of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, etc., the soldiers fell asleep with resentment.
At the end of the day, the whole fleet was in full swing, and all the officers and men had finished breakfast.
In the morning light, Panyu City is no longer mysterious, the port is wide, and you can also enter the city along the river.
However, Gan Ning no longer wanted to go forward, first, his hull was wide, and he didn't know if the river inside could be navigated; Second, this was the action of the Left Route Army, and it inevitably felt like it was dominating.
"General Cao, I'll let Cai Mao attack with a thunderbolt to destroy those enemy troops who are eyeing him." He offered to say hello: "This will also free up boats full of stones for inland navigation to transport your soldiers." ā
Nima, this kid is a general, a qualified commander.
Cao Cao was so happy that his beard was cocked: "Let's follow what General Gan said!" ā
Since the introduction of the Thunderbolt, it has always appeared on occasions where it should have been, and it has been invincible.
In the face of the enemy who were still puzzled, the stone bullets flew over one after another, smashing those soldiers crying and calling for their mothers, and for a while, I don't know how many people and horses were killed.
Of course, there are some houses that have suffered.
It can't be helped, this is war, and it is the common people who suffer. (To be continued.) )
