Chapter 3451 The thief in the river and lake
The battlefield was extremely noisy, but Zhuge Liang's heart did not have much ups and downs.
Everything seems to be expected.
This is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing either.
It's like a cannon facing the screen horse, it seems to be regular and orderly, but the murderous intent hidden in the secret is beyond this ordinary method.
『General, Jiangdong may not have expected us to have artillery…』 Zhuge Liang said slowly, 『But Jiangdong must have expected us to have some means!』
Zhuge Liang seemed to be a little difficult to speak, but Xu Huang could quickly understand what Zhuge Liang meant.
There are many "weird" things in Guanzhong, which are not a secret thing.
Moreover, even if Wen Si repeatedly cleans up and arrests, all the information channels may not be able to intercept and not leak. After all, in the current era of the Han Dynasty, not many people have the awareness of keeping the secrets, and they even use the discussion of new things related to the cavalry as a manifestation of their well-informed information, which makes it possible to hear some information without even needing to be specifically asked about it.
Of course, these information promoted are true and false.
Therefore, for Jiangdong, if you know some general matters or a general description of new equipment, you don’t need to go to any military-administered areas to inquire. Although the information obtained in this way is true or false, based on Zhou Yu’s wisdom, it is not too difficult to infer that some special things may be equipped among the Sichuan and Shu naval army.
So when facing the Sichuan and Shu naval army, Zhou Yu acted too "cooperating", just like the Sichuan and Shu naval army showed up a little treasure, and then supported it and said it was so big...
Actually, it's big?
It depends on their respective psychological expectations.
The Jiangdong Army lost three or four fighting ships under the artillery, but it did not collapse much for the overall naval structure. After all, the Jiangdong Navy's tower ship was still in the rear, close to the water camp.
Zhuge Liang pointed to Jiangdong Water Village, then sighed and said, "Dong Zhou must have prepared tinea oil... It's in that Water Village..."
『Guaro oil?』 Xu Huang squinted his eyes and looked, "Top with a stone cannon?"
Zhuge Liang nodded.
"So the Jiangdong Navy took advantage of the situation and surrounded the two wings?"
Xu Huang snorted coldly.
Although I felt a little unhappy after saying it, because this means that the attack of the Sichuan and Shu navy did not show as sharp as it was, and the weakness and avoidance of the Jiangdong Army were not really revealed.
This process is the interaction between the two parties, and also a psychological process of comparing each other.
『Not only that…』
Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at the land.
Xu Huang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Kongming, are you worried about Xingba?"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
Gan Ning has the advantages of Gan Ning, but Gan Ning also has disadvantages.
Changes in the battle situation often exceed the original plan.
And it happens that this part of the plan is changed to truly test the general's ability.
However, Zhuge Liang and Xu Huang both could only focus on the battlefield in front of them for the time being.
After all, the proportion of the central battlefield is the largest, and the Jiangdong Army has already placed the trap in front of us brightly. Whether to step on it or not is the problem that Zhuge Liang and Xu Huang must solve in front of us.
...
...
Among the forests.
The slightest sound comes from far away.
Gan Ning squatted on the tree branch, stretched his neck to look at Jiang Dongjun walking in the distance, and couldn't help but laugh softly.
Running through the mountains and forests is not only about being discovered by the Jiangdong Army, but also being ahead of the Jiangdong Army. This is indeed not an easy task.
If the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu were not used to the mountains and forests, most people had the experience of climbing and walking in the mountains and forests, even if Gan Ning had this idea of ​​ambushing, it would be difficult to achieve.
"Have the person who went to send a message to the water village hid it?"
Gan Ning suddenly remembered something and asked urgently.
"General, don't worry! They are on the other side, the Jiangdong Army cannot see it!"
Gan Ning changed his combat plan and wanted to convey information to his own water village.
Although in this current situation, the transmission of information is just the simplest warning, it is already very good.
The Cavalry Army has developed some emergency information transmission methods. In addition to traditional beacons, the more commonly used one is to use a bronze mirror to reflect the message. After several specific sentry points, it can be transferred to faraway places in a short time.
However, in this process, some problems may arise, which are still unsolvable at this stage.
"Okay, all are ready, don't show your head..."
Gan Ning nodded and ordered.
The Jiangdong Army is getting closer, like a fish about to bite the hook.
The birds were singing more anxiously.
This is the sound of the scout blowing, representing the signal of the enemy approaching.
The Jiangdong army was stunning, and the lineup was very long, separated by rocks and shrubs.
"Did you see where their generals are?"
Gan Ning asked the soldiers beside him.
The soldier shook his head.
He was looking at it himself, but he did not find any obvious signs.
Because he is not good at moving in the mountains and forests, the pace of the Jiangdong Army is chaotic and cannot even maintain the basic marching force.
If the Jiangdong Army's ability is at least A+ on the water surface, then on land, especially in the mountains and forests, it is likely that it can only be considered a C-level...
The smoke and dust suddenly stopped.
The Jiangdong Army suddenly stopped not far ahead.
"What's going on?"
Gan Ning supported his right hand and fell directly from the tree. When he was in mid-air, he reached out and grabbed the horizontal branch beside him, slowing down the power of falling. Before he could wiggle, he let go of his hand and landed steadily on the ground.
『We're exposed?
Gan Ning stared at Jiangdong Army tightly.
Why did the Jiangdong Army stop advancing?
Could it be that the Jiangdong Army discovered that I was ambushing here?
Where did the mistake appear?
Time is not allowed to be thought of, and the Jiangdong Army's formation has begun to disperse.
Obviously, the Jiangdong Army has discovered us, so let’s attack now!
Gan Ning gritted his teeth and clenched the sword. He was about to issue an order to attack, but hesitated in an instant.
Gan Ning took a long breath to calm his mind, then turned around and looked around.
The Jiangdong Army had not discovered this side before, how could it be discovered now? The concealment of this side was done well, and it was impossible to be discovered by the enemy so simply. Even if it was discovered by the enemy, it would not stop, but retreat directly!
So in the current situation, something must have aroused the wariness of the Jiangdong Army, but the commander general of the Jiangdong Army was not sure of his idea, so he put on this attitude as a test.
If Gan Ning couldn't hold back for a moment and killed the generals, it proved that the worry of the Jiangdong Army generals was right. On the other hand, the distance was still relatively long. Even if Gan Ning rushed out with jumping and jumping, he had to run a distance, which was enough for the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army to react, and then it might have changed from an ambush battle to a chase battle.
Although Gan Ning felt that his side would not be bad in chasing, it would be a troublesome to really turn into a chasing and fighting in the mountains and forests...
Gan Ning suddenly realized what made the Jiangdong army alert.
It must have been discovered by Jiangdong Army when Gan Ning was contacting his own water village before!
It’s not the problem that happened to Gan Ning, but the signal problem that was on the water village.
Gan Ning's side used reflection to send out a contact signal, which was sent out by the Jiangdong Army behind his back, so the Jiangdong Army could not notice it. But the problem was that when the Water Village responded to Ganning in reverse, the Jiangdong Army might have seen it. Therefore, the Jiangdong Army probably caused alertness because of this, so it used this trick to test whether there were ambushes.
Gan Ning secretly exclaimed in her heart that it was dangerous and slowly sat on the ground, indicating that the soldiers should not be impatient and wait for the next change.
Time seemed to solidify for a while, then the Jiangdong Army was lifted from security, and the team gradually returned to a straight line, continuing to march forward.
Gan Ning exhaled a long breath, then whispered: "Send the order, be prepared..."
The Jiangdong Army is getting closer and closer.
Gan Ning was looking for the position of Jiangdong general, but he did not find any special characters, nor did he see a familiar figure.
The commander in the front of the Jiangdong Army seemed to be just a military marquis.
This can be identified from both the armor and the surrounding guards.
Two hundred steps.
One hundred steps...
Fifty steps!
Gan Ning could no longer wait and search. If he dragged on, it would be possible that the Jiangdong army ahead would find the trees intercepting the road!
Gan Ning roared, and then he jumped out of the bushes like a tiger, waving his sword and killing the Jiangdong army!
The soldiers brought by Gan Ning also jumped out of the grass, the tree holes, and under the shadows.
Some purged the sword with Gan Ning, while others raised their bows and arrows and shot them in anger.
The soldiers of Jiangdong Army, who were scattered in spirit, had already fallen down before they could stop and act in a defensive posture.
The shouts of killing in the woods, roaring, screaming and screaming one after another. The clear sound of the fight between weapons was mixed with the muffled sound of the broken flesh and blood, and the blood stained the wasteland in the mountains and forests, watering the weeds at both sides' feet.
Because the soldiers in Sichuan and Sichuan originally lived in a environment where there were many mountains and few waters and lush trees, it was very different from the soldiers in Jiangdong who lived on swamps all year round. Therefore, even wearing iron armor, they could still run and jump quickly in the rock shrubs and earth slopes.
On the other hand, the soldiers in Jiangdong were naturally at a disadvantage. They had to stare at the swords, guns, arrows, and on the other hand they had to pay attention to the weeds and floating soil under their feet. If they were not careful, they might have an unbalanced center of gravity. Either the original attack was lost or they would send themselves to the opponent's swords, guns, and swords.
Gan Ning shouted and made a sound, and his blood rushed in his body, making the fighting spirit boil!
Gan Ning took a big step forward, gave way to the spear that was stabbed away, and then the sword in his hand rushed forward. A panicked Jiangdong soldier, who had no time to react, was killed and fell to the sky before he could react.
While swords and guns were waving and flesh, Gan Ning was still looking for the figure of Jiangdong generals, trying to directly kill the opponent generals to determine the victory, and reduce the time for fighting, and also create some opportunities for the next step of attacking Jiangdong Water Village.
Gan Ning's martial arts are basically inclined to practical combat.
In Sichuan and Sichuan, not everyone can live a comfortable life. There are always people who need to lick blood on the edge of the knife and then compete for benefits that big people don’t like.
When Gan Ning was young, he was known as "Jinfan", but in fact, no matter how good or loud the name sounds, he cannot get rid of his essence as a thief.
A thief is not a glorious profession.
Because humans began to form tribes, countries, and society, they would inevitably tend to cooperate with each other and abide by order, at least in open cooperation and compliance. From ancient times to the present, thieves and thieves have been linked to "despicable" and "lower" and so on. Even if they talk about characters such as "tall thieves" in storytelling, such as "three heroes and five righteousness", it is actually not the people who like "tall thieves", but the people hope that when they face oppression, there are only such people who will make such anger for them.
Does anyone like to be a thief when he is born?
At least Gan Ning doesn't like it.
However, in the pattern before Sichuan and Shu, local gentry controlled everything in Sichuan and Shu, from people to things.
The tangible and invisible shackles enveloped Sichuan and Sichuan, and no one could break the class. Even if Gan Ning brought a group of people, he could only become a ranger and a thief, and could not squeeze into the normal promotion ranks.
But wars and troubled times have changed all this.
Gan Ning can now use the sword in his hand to get what he wants!
Blood is like fog and rain.
No fear of life and no fear of death.
Gan Ning was like a tiger and leopard, interspersing and jumping among the rocks and shrubs.
After panic, the soldiers in Jiangdong raised their swords and roared at Gan Ning. They also realized that Gan Ning was a general. Perhaps it was for the bounty, or perhaps it felt that they had no choice but to have a chance to win.
However, ordinary Jiangdong soldiers could not compete with Gan Ning at all. Even if there were multiple attacks, they could not stop Gan Ning's attack. At most, they would only cause some trouble for Gan Ning.
Two or three Jiangdong soldiers rushed towards Gan Ning, but shouted loudly. Gan Ning tried his best to resist, but instead of retreating, he crashed into the inner circle of Jiangdong soldiers holding a spear. Not only did he avoid the slashing of another Jiangdong soldiers, but he also directly opened the Jiangdong soldiers holding a spear with a single knife.
In the terrifying and tragic hiss, Jiang Dong soldiers with a spear subconsciously reached out to catch them to protect their stomachs that had fallen to the ground. Before the broken intestines had completely landed, their lives had disappeared.
Gan Ning rolled down and avoided the dirty blood that was pouring down on his face. He immediately picked up a sword on the ground that he didn't know who fell. After passing the subsequent continuous slashes and slashed, he directly slashed with both swords. The sword light was like snow, woven into a death net, wrapping the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army layer by layer.
Several Jiangdong soldiers who were close to Gan Ning immediately blew up, and their hands and feet were cut off, or their chests and necks were cut.
Under the sunshine, the blood is extremely bright and red.
Even though Gan Ning tried his best not to let blood cover his eyebrows and eyes or contaminate the hilt of the knife, he still inevitably stained with minced meat and blood on the battle robe and armor.
For a moment, Gan Ning was like an ancient ferocious beast, exuding a terrifying aura.
If people kill too many people, their eyes will be different.
When looking at people, they either aim at their necks or their hearts and spleens, and even their hands and feet will involuntarily make a fatal preparation for one blow.
It's like seeing a tiger slight fall in the waist and abdomen. Even an idiot can understand that the next moment will be a fierce culprit.
Several other soldiers from Jiangdong saw Gan Ning like this, so they were so shocked that their legs were weak. They turned around and fled back.
Under the leadership of Ganning, the Sichuan and Shu army was in great momentum.
The front line of the soldiers in Jiangdong did not last long and soon began to be defeated and fled.
Gan Ning shook the blood stained on his hands and the sword, but frowned, "Where is the Jiangdong general? Did he hide in the last place? He ran away when he saw that the situation was not good?"
Zhou Tai did crouch behind.
Although he and Gan Ning were both born into water thieves, they are not all the same.
Zhou Tai's career as a thief was mostly on lakes than on the rivers.
The reason for geographical relationships is that although the upstream and downstream of the river are both the same river, they show different forms.
The people of Sichuan and Sichuan are in a hurry and speak quickly, while those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are relatively slow and rational.
It’s not that Zhou Tai is not brave or desperate, but that Zhou Tai will be more comfortable than Gan Ning in his entire career as a water thief.
There is basically no way out for fighting ships, jumping gangs to fight, etc. in the upper reaches of the river. If you lose or get injured, even if you jump into the ship and escape, you may not survive the upstream with rapid water flow. Therefore, you will naturally force a thief like Gan Ning, and you must be more fierce.
For Zhou Tai, the downstream environment is relatively smooth, and there are many reeds and thatchs in the swamp and lakes. Even if he loses, he jumps into the water and hides the thatchs and reeds. Even if his opponent wants to kill them all, it is not so easy to find someone. Therefore, Zhou Tai has been injured since he was a child, but he has never died.
Gan Ning rushed in front because he was used to rushing in front.
Zhou Tai fell behind, and it was because Zhou Tai felt the danger so he was behind.
There is no right or wrong, and it does not mean that Zhou Tai is not brave, but that the environment is different, and the character formed and the battle mode chosen are different.
Therefore, when Gan Ning was killing the general, Zhou Tai realized that something was wrong and immediately decided to turn in on the spot.
He did not hesitate or try to fight Gan Ning for his life.
After all, there is no Emperor Sun to protect him, and there is no reason why he must sacrifice his life.
Since the Sichuan and Shu army appeared here, it means that the Sichuan and Shu army had already been prepared!
More importantly, Zhou Tai had always felt that there was danger before, and the feeling of being targeted by something has now been confirmed!
As soon as Zhou Tai retreated, the Jiangdong troops were even more defeated.
The forwards became the back team, the back team became the forwards, and the Jiangdong army retreated along the same path...
Just as Zhou Tai retreated and fled in a panic in the mountains and forests, it turned out that there was another Jiangdong army stationed on the mountain where Zhou Tai was stationed.
Zhou Yu sent out his own military academy and led a group of newly transferred soldiers to lie quietly on the mountain.
