Chapter 3159 When rowing a boat meets pushing a boat
When it was still dark, Gan Ning came out wearing armor and stood at the crossing of Shuizhai Ferry.
The soldiers boarded the warships one after another. The first ones to set off were less than 600 men, twenty stern ships, and ten fighting ships.
There will be another group of people responsible for the ambush later.
Gan Ning was responsible for leading the front line troops and was preparing to board the ship.
Huang Quan stood aside and watched.
Gan Ning glanced sideways at Huang Quan and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion. If you make someone cheat, you are cheating, and you won't cause any trouble."
Huang Quan smiled awkwardly, "General, I admire the overall situation. Quan admires him very much."
Gan Ning waved his hand, "What's the big and small situation? I'm a rough man and don't understand these things. I'm just following Zhuge's orders. I'm out in the war. The responsibility of catching the spies falls on Huang Shijun."
』
"Yes. This is natural." Huang Quan cupped his hands and said, "General, do you have any instructions?"
Gan Ning waved his hand, "Don't give me any orders... There is only one thing..."
Gan Ning turned to stare at Huang Quan, "This is an important matter for the military and the state, so we must not show mercy!"
Huang Quan nodded, "General, don't worry."
Gan Ning knew that Huang Quan didn't like him, and similarly, Gan Ning didn't like Huang Quan, but whether he liked Huang Quan or not didn't mean that they couldn't cooperate. Everything in the world can't be supported by liking.
Gan Ning didn't care about Huang Quan, he only cared about Zhuge Liang's approval. After saying that, he took two steps and jumped onto the fighting ship. He stepped on the bow of the ship and roared to start the ship. He even did one more
There was no gesture of farewell.
Huang Quan watched Gan Ning lead the team away, shook his head slightly and sighed.
He didn't have to come to see Gan Ning off, but he still came.
Huang Quan turned around and walked back a few steps, but suddenly he felt something in his heart. He raised his head slightly and saw Zhuge Liang in gray clothes and scarf looking at him on the sentry tower of the water village in the distance.
Their eyes met.
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
Huang Quan bowed his hand in courtesy.
…
…
The small fleet carried no baggage. Although the spring flood had not yet arrived, the boats were light and there were few people and the draft was not deep. They sailed quickly downstream.
Until dusk approached in the afternoon, I suddenly saw rows of boats on the river ahead in the distance, as well as Jiangdong soldiers encamped on the shore.
Jiangdong Army's warning sounded across both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Zhu Zhi was also a veteran general. When he saw Gan Ning's attack, he did not panic at all. He did not use the entire army, but sent the battleships in the front to meet the enemy, while the rear was still setting up camp in an orderly manner.
Gan Ning gave the order without hesitation and ran directly into it!
The wind in the river is fierce and the water in the river is surging.
The Jiangdong building boats are like strong men, crossing the center of the river.
Gan Ning's fighting ship was like a nimble child, passing under the big man's arm.
"Set up the crossbow! Fire off the cannon!"
When Gan Ning saw that the fleet had resolved its entanglement with the opponent, he shouted an order.
The soldiers on the side of the fighting ship immediately shouldered the big yellow crossbow.
Zhu Ling's tactics were transmitted to Sichuan and Shu through carrier pigeons. Although there were only a few words, Zhuge Liang's intelligence quickly deduced the methods and methods from them, and taught them to Gan Ning.
Originally, ships were rarely equipped with big yellow crossbows. They were either crossbows with a longer range or waist-guided crossbows with faster firing speeds. However, due to their large size, the big yellow crossbows had a slower firing speed and were not as powerful as the big yellow crossbows. Ballista, so it has always been rarely equipped on ships, but it is different now.
The big yellow crossbow no longer shoots simple crossbow arrows, but is equipped with grenades.
A simple combination, but it raises the upper limit of weapons.
A single big yellow crossbow or grenade is not easy to use on a battleship.
The river water is splashing and the deck is smooth. The fixed-point sniper effect of the big yellow crossbow is basically zero. Even if the grenade is thrown on the opponent's deck, it may not be able to stop. It can't be said that it jumps and falls into the water from the other side...
But now the big yellow crossbow shoots not people, but the side of the ship.
The grenade was not thrown on the smooth deck, but stuck on the edge of the wooden planks.
This combination is obviously more reliable and safer than throwing directly with hands or using other methods.
What is progress for Gan Ning's side is a threat to Jiangdong's army.
"Boom! Boom!"
Explosions sounded one after another, mixed with the panicked shouts of Jiangdong soldiers.
Gan Ning laughed heartily.
The fighting ship collided with the opponent's saved ship. Gan Ning brandished his sword and jumped onto Jiangdong's ship.
…
…
When the explosion sound came, Zhu Zhi's eyes widened.
"What it is?"
The power of firearms was experienced more by Cao Jun's side, while most people in Jiangdong had only heard about it.
Zhu Zhi's arrangement was considered very appropriate, but he did not understand the combat power of Sichuan and Shu, or even the power of the Hussars' firearms, so casualties appeared quickly.
"Quick! Send the order! The Chinese army is on alert! Prepare to throw stones!"
Zhu Zhi suddenly shouted.
The front of Jiangdong Navy was obviously caught off guard.
"Boom!"
The big yellow crossbow was stuck under the side of the battleship.
"Get rid of it!"
Amidst the urgent howling, Jiangdong soldiers tried to knock off and chop off the grenades stuck on the hull with swords and guns, but they were often too late. With a roar, iron shards and wood chips flew everywhere, causing a scream.
Some ships had their sides blown open, and water began to enter through the cracked holes.
The rockets soared into the sky and fell one after another like stars falling.
Some rockets were stuck on the sails, and Jiang Dongbing rushed over, either covering them with sand or beating them with clothes, and some even stepped on them and stamped them out...
Gan Ning screamed strangely, and rushed directly from one side of the Jiangdong ship to the other side, then plunged into the river, jumping to the side of his ship like a fish jumping out of the water, shaking all over his body. Splash, shouting happily.
Gan Ning was so powerful that he naturally led his subordinates to compete for the lead.
Time passed little by little, and the front of Zhu Zhishui's army was in chaos, but the middle army did not rush into the battlefield to rescue, but formed an array behind it.
The battle was fierce and many ships were damaged. Some ships were tilted, with their heads or buttocks tilted up, and they gradually sank.
The corpses were floating up and down, some floating on the side of the boat, and some floating down the river.
black smoke.
raging fire.
Pungent smoke billowed up and filled the entire river surface.
Several battleships from Gan Ning's side wanted to take advantage of the smoke to attack Zhu Zhizhong's army. As soon as they nodded, they were fired upon by Zhu Zhizhong's army and sank in the river.
"Tsk tsk..."
When Gan Ning saw this, he immediately offered gold and retreated his troops.
Jiangdong's former army, which was disturbed by Gan Ning, naturally refused to let Gan Ning withdraw like this, so they chased after him with shouts...
Zhu Zhi couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, and immediately responded and shouted, "No!"
…
…
Zhu Zhi sent Zhu Ran to rescue the former army.
When Gan Ning saw Jiangdong coming to help, he stopped entangled, left the ambushed Jiangdong front army, and left.
Zhu Zhi's face was as gloomy as the river at night, but when he turned around and saw the former navy commander who came to plead guilty, Zhu Zhi hid the disgust and contempt in his heart, and instead smiled and comforted him tolerantly.
After a while, let him go down to rest.
There were more warships and more people than those in Sichuan and Sichuan, and the result was such a horrible result. If it weren't for the fact that the war was about to begin, and killing generals before the war would damage his own morale, Zhu Zhi would definitely have to answer questions repeatedly, but now he can only remember it for the time being.
The account will be discussed after the war.
Zhu Ran came forward to report the damage statistics.
Although the former army was defeated, the damage was actually not too great. Except for a few sunk ships, many of the other ships only had damaged hulls and could barely be used after repair.
As for the wounded soldiers...
It can be ignored.
A ship's life is more precious than a human life.
Zhu Zhi looked at the statistics and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there are generally no problems with the warships, then there are no problems.
However, a question suddenly jumped into Zhu Zhi's mind.
Why did Gan Ning attack?
"Gan Xingba is very shocked to have such a firearm..." Zhu Zhi frowned and said, "If you come to use it, what should you do with it?"
It was obvious that Gan Ning was here to harass and obstruct him, there was no doubt about it.
But when Gan Ning was harassing and obstructing him, was it necessary to use such sharp firearms?
Zhu Ran also thought for a moment, and then said: "If the child uses it, when it comes to the decisive battle, it will shock the three armies in one fell swoop..."
Zhu Zhi nodded, "Of course. Then why does Gan Xingba use it like this?"
Gan Ningxiu was so amused that he lost his mind and went crazy?
Of course, if we look at Gan Ning's "good tradition", it seems that such a possibility cannot be ruled out. However, Zhu Zhi is cautious and does not think that this is something Gan Ning did without any brains. After all, even Gan Ning
Without brains, other people in Sichuan and Sichuan will also be brainless? Zhuge, who made Huang Gai lose face, would let Gan Ning do such a brainless thing?
Who doesn't know that this kind of sharp weapon has a certain value just like Wang Zhi. Although Gan Ning used it to defeat Zhu Zhi's former army, it did not cause much damage to Zhu Zhi as a whole.
It is even beneficial to Zhu Zhi as a whole, because after being prepared, Jiangdong Army will not be as panicked as it is now when it encounters the same tactics next time.
Zhu Ran said: "Is this just to intimidate us?"
"Threatening?" Zhu Zhi pinched his beard.
This is not difficult to understand.
Jiangdong didn't know that Sichuan and Shu had weapons, so didn't they just ask Gan Ning to come and show them off?
But why did Huang Gai...
"Haha..." Zhu Zhi said with a smile, "Such a sharp weapon is definitely not easy to do. Huang Gongfu...unless Huang Gongfu deliberately concealed it..."
Halfway through, Zhu Zhi shook his head, "With Huang Gongfu as a person...it wouldn't be like this..."
The information previously reported by Huang Gai and Zhu Huan did not specifically mention the Sichuan-Sichuan firearms issue, so either Huang Gai and Zhu Huan did not encounter it, or encountered it rarely, or Huang Gai and Zhu Huan concealed it and did not report it
.
However, the internal fighting in Jiangdong is still internal fighting, and there are still some rules. It is not to say that there is no fame in this kind of thing. After all, there are not only Huang Gai or Zhu Huan's private soldiers in the army, there are some things that you want to cover up.
It may not be possible to cover up everything, so Zhu Zhi generally believed that Huang Gai and Zhu Huan did not encounter large-scale use of firearms in their previous battles with Sichuan and Shu soldiers...
Then a strange question loomed before him, why did this Sichuan-Sichuan firearm stick right under his nose when he came?
And it was as if he was deliberately trying to show off to him that Gan Ning came here to "harass" him?
"Could it be..." Zhu Zhi's eyes flashed, "This is Zhuge's plan!"
Zhu Ran asked, "Zhuge's plan?"
"Such firearms are beyond human power... they must be difficult to make!" Zhu Zhi said after thinking, "If they are like bows, arrows and crossbows, they can be made in a moment, then they must be used for Huang Gongfu... How can they be kept for now?
reason?"
Zhu Ran also nodded after hearing this.
There is indeed some truth to what Zhu Zhi said.
So since this inference can be established, it means that Zhuge Liang is actually using these firearms to intimidate Zhu Zhi and delay time!
Zhu Zhi laughed loudly, "I have been on the battlefield for many years, how can I be afraid of this trivial skill? It can quickly regroup the front army and make a rapid recovery!"
Zhu Ran was silent for a moment and said hesitantly: "Father, if... this Zhuge..."
Zhu Zhi frowned, "If you have something to say, please tell me!"
"Father, sir," Zhu Ran said, cupping his hands, "Huang Gong replied, this son is cunning and unpredictable. If...if he is this son, he will predict that you and I will not retreat but advance..."
Zhu Zhi waved his hand and said: "In the army, is there any reason to be prepared for everything? If you treat the enemy carelessly, you will suffer damage, and if you treat the enemy too cautiously, you will inevitably miss a good opportunity. Now that I have been entrusted by the Governor, Commander-in-Chief
When the army marches into Sichuan, if you and I look forward and backward, we will have no way to advance or retreat... This military spirit cannot be repeated again and again."
"Only, my father taught me that," Zhu Ran said.
Zhu Ran was thinking about whether Zhuge would use tactics to target him, while Zhu Zhi was thinking about the overall situation and the morale of the entire Jiangdong Army, so even though he knew there was a risk, he still had to march.
Zhu Zhi was silent for a while, "This matter must be guarded against. You can lead a part of the Chinese army and keep it behind. If we can advance safely, it will be fine. If so... you can help them quickly..."
Zhu Ran accepted the order and went down prepared not to mention it.
…
…
On the other side, when Gan Ning was leading his troops to fight, in Yufu Beishan, several people dressed as mountain people were carefully looking for a way forward.
The place is mountainous and the road is not easy to walk. The shrubs and woods are connected together, and mountain vines are climbing everywhere. From time to time, you need to use a machete to cut them open before you can continue to move forward.
Suddenly, someone fell into the pit and screamed loudly.
"There's a trap! Run!"
These mountain people turned around and ran away without saying a word. However, they couldn't escape. They ran not far away and ran into Huang Quan and his men, who blocked the trail.
"You won't be able to catch him without mercy!"
Huang Quan shouted loudly.
One person seemed a little timid and his legs and feet were weak. Just as he was kneeling down to beg for mercy, another person stabbed him directly in the back of the heart.
"ah……"
The man screamed and fell to the ground, but the assailant turned around and jumped directly into the mountain stream.
Huang Quan suddenly frowned.
Huang Quan's men rushed forward and knocked down the remaining people, only to see that the injured man had died.
"Your Majesty..." Sichuan Bing looked up at Huang Quan, "This..."
Huang Quan waved his hand, "Take them all away! Even those in the trap ahead, pick them up and take them away!"
…
…
Wu Ban's face turned a little pale.
One of his men is missing.
Wu Ban was not in the order of battle. He was only responsible for transporting food and grass to recover fish. As a result, when he was about to go back, he found that there were fewer people.
The roster numbers don't match up.
Everyone who was with the missing man was arrested.
Wu Ban was also brought to Youwen Division for questioning.
That man was a soldier under Wu Ban, but not from the Wu family, and the key point was that even Wu Ban himself didn’t know where that man had gone or what he had done...
Zhao, the manager of the Wen Department, stared at Wu Ban expressionlessly, while a clerk next to him was taking notes.
Wu Ban wanted to see what Shu Zuo had written, but he was defeated under the gaze of Wen Si Zhao, who emphasized: "I really don't know why this person escaped..."
』
Zhao Zhizhang still had the same expressionless look on his face, "Wu Xiaowei, are you sure there is nothing more that needs to be added?"
Wu Ban looked helpless and smiled bitterly, "I really don't know..."
Director Zhao nodded, "Okay. I've got you, Captain Wu. You can go."
Wu Ban couldn't believe it.
During this period of time, You Wen Si had a notorious reputation.
In Sichuan and Shu, many gentry and gentry who had contact with Jiangdong were arrested. When the war started, many things could not be explained clearly. Some of these gentry and gentry might have been wronged, but at this critical point, even if
Even though he was exempted from the nine implicated clans, he was basically abandoned by the family, and was thrown out like a gecko with its tail cut off.
Wu Ban believed that if he really couldn't explain it clearly, Wu Yi would be like those gentry and squires, split it up as much as possible, and then throw it out. Wu Ban couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought of this.
He hurriedly returned to his temporary residence, and then after much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and wrote a letter, detailing the whole thing, and asked someone to send it to Wu Yi in Chengdu...
Wu Ban's actions naturally could not escape the gaze of Youwen Division. In the blink of an eye, the information was sent to Zhuge Liang's case.
"Gong Heng, what do you think about this matter?"
Zhuge Liang asked calmly.
Huang Quan hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.
In history, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Sichuan and Sichuan were in complete chaos. Not to mention the largest factions, the Jingzhou faction and the Yizhou faction, they were trying to undermine each other like red and blue. Even within the factions,
Various small factions can also be divided. For example, the ASEAN faction and the Western alliance faction are also called the Dongzhou faction and the Xizhou faction. Dongzhou means Donglian Dongwu, and Xizhou means that Dongwu are all two-skinned.
Unreliable, the Xiqiang people are more honest. In addition, there are old nobles and new honors, military generals and civil servants, and even personal grievances are also mixed in. It can be said that from the beginning to the end, the Shu Han people have not worked together for a day.
Well, that's right. In history, Zhuge Liang died of hard work, and most of it was due to the internal fighting among these factions.
Now that Fei has sneaked into the main river, does that mean that the Sichuan-Shu faction can disappear?
What peaches are you thinking of?
The territory of Sichuan and Shu is not large, but there are many factions.
Perhaps it is because it is called Little China. Sichuan and Sichuan are surrounded by mountains on all sides, and factional disputes never seem to stop. Even in later generations, Chengdu people still looked down on Chongqing people, and Chongqing people also said they looked down on Chengdu.
guy……
Huang Quan is from Bajun, and can be considered a native of Sichuan. Wu Yi, of the Wu family, is an out-and-out Sichuan sect, and is also a veteran of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. He even had an eye with Liu Bei back then. So generally speaking,
Huang Quan and Wu Yi couldn't pee in the same pot.
Huang Quan was ordered to arrest the spy, but the spy was so fierce that he not only silenced him, but even jumped into a mountain stream himself. Then he found out that Wu Ban, who was escorting the grain and grass, happened to have one less soldier...
This is a yellow lump inside Wu Ban's crotch, is it not feces?
