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.
It's like a head-on attack on a screen horse. It seems to be orderly and orderly, but the murderous intention hidden in the secret is beyond this ordinary method.
"General, Jiangdong may not have expected that we have artillery..." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "But Jiangdong must have expected that we have some means!"
Zhuge Liang's words seemed a bit difficult to pronounce, but Xu Huang was able to quickly understand what Zhuge Liang meant.
There are many "weird" things in Guanzhong, and it is not a secret thing.
Moreover, for some things, even if the Wen Division cleans up and arrests again and again, it may not be able to intercept all the information channels and prevent them from leaking. After all, in the current era of Han Dynasty, not many people have the awareness of confidentiality, and even
They will talk about new things related to the Husbands as a sign of being well-informed, which means that some information can be heard in restaurants and restaurants without even asking for special information.
Of course, some of the information promoted is true or false.
Therefore, for Jiangdong, if he knows the general outline of some things or the general description of new equipment, there is no need to go to any military-controlled areas to inquire. Although the information obtained in this way may be true or false, based on Zhou Yu's wisdom, it can be inferred
Among the Sichuan and Sichuan navy, they may be equipped with some special things, but it is not too difficult.
So when facing the Sichuan-Sichuan navy, Zhou Yu was too "cooperative", as if the Sichuan-Sichuan navy showed off its little treasure, and then cheered and said it was so big...
Is it actually big?
This depends on each person’s psychological expectations.
The Jiangdong Navy lost three or four battleships under the artillery fire, but the overall naval structure was not greatly damaged. After all, the Jiangdong Navy's large ships were still behind, close to the water fortress.
.
Zhuge Liang pointed to the Jiangdong Water Village, then sighed and said, "Duke Zhou must have prepared kerosene... right in that water village..."
"Fire oil?" Xu Huang squinted and looked at it, "Throw it with a stone cannon?"
Zhuge Liang nodded.
"So the Jiangdong navy took advantage of the situation and surrounded it on both sides?"
Xu Huang snorted coldly.
Although after saying it, I did feel a little unhappy, because it meant that the attack of the Sichuan-Sichuan Navy was not as sharp as it appeared, and the weakness and avoidance of the Jiangdong Army were also not true.
A sign of defeat.
This process is an interaction between the two parties, and it is 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. "Kong Ming, are you worried about Xingba?"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
Gan Ning has Gan Ning's advantages, but Gan Ning also has shortcomings.
Changes in the battle situation often exceed the original plan.
And it happens that it is this part of the change that goes beyond the plan that truly tests the general's ability.
However, Zhuge Liang and Xu Huang could only focus on the battlefield in front of them for the time being.
After all, the central battlefield has the largest proportion, and the Jiangdong Army has clearly placed the trap in front of them. Whether to step on it or not is the question that Zhuge Liang and Xu Huang must solve.
…
…
In the mountains and forests.
Tiny sounds came closer and closer.
Gan Ning squatted on a tree branch, stretched his neck and looked at Jiang Dongjun walking in the distance, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Running in the mountains and forests, not only to avoid being discovered by Jiangdong's army, but also to get ahead of Jiangdong's army, this is indeed not an easy task.
If the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu were not accustomed to mountains and forests, and most of them had the experience of climbing and walking in mountains and forests, even if Gan Ning had this ambush idea, it would be difficult to realize it.
"Have you hidden the person who went to send the letter to Shuizhai?"
Gan Ning suddenly remembered something and asked urgently.
"Don't worry, General! They are on the other side and Jiang Dongjun can't see them!"
Gan Ning changed his battle plan, more or less to convey a message to his water village.
Although, in the current situation, the transmission of information is only the simplest warning, it is already very good.
The Hussars have developed some emergency means of transmitting information. In addition to the traditional beacon fire, the most commonly used method is to use bronze mirror reflections to transmit messages. After being transferred at several specific sentry points, it can be transmitted in a short time.
transmitted to distant places.
However, during this process, there may also be some problems that cannot be solved at this stage.
"Okay, get everything ready, don't show your head..."
Gan Ning nodded and ordered.
Jiang Dongjun is getting closer and closer, like a fish about to bite the hook.
The chirping of birds became more urgent.
This is the sound blown by the scouts, which represents the signal that the enemy is approaching.
The silhouettes of Jiangdong's troops were very long, and they were separated by rocks and shrubs.
"Did you see where their general is?"
Gan Ning asked the soldiers beside him.
The soldier shook his head.
He was looking at it himself, but he didn't find any obvious signs.
Because they were not good at marching in the mountains and forests, Jiangdong's army moved in a disorderly manner and could not even maintain the basic marching formation.
If on the water, Jiang Dongjun's ability is at least A+, then on land, especially in the mountains and forests, there is a high probability that it can only be regarded as C level...
The smoke suddenly stopped.
Jiang Dongjun suddenly stopped not far ahead.
"What's going on?"
Gan Ning raised his right hand and fell directly from the tree. When he was in mid-air, he reached out and grabbed the horizontal branch on the side, slowing down the force of his fall. Before he started swinging, he let go of his hand and stabilized himself.
It fell to the ground.
"Are we exposed?"
Gan Ning stared at Jiang Dongjun closely.
Why did Jiangdong's army stop advancing?
Could it be that Jiang Dongjun discovered that I was ambushing me here?
Where did the mistake occur?
Time did not allow Gan Ning to think too much. At this time, the Jiangdong Army's formation had begun to disperse.
Obviously Jiangdong Army has discovered us, so attack now!
Gan Ning gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the sword. He was about to give the order to attack, but he hesitated for a moment.
Gan Ning took a long breath to calm down, then turned his head and looked around.
Jiangdong Army did not discover their side before, how could they discover it now? Their side is well concealed and cannot be discovered by the enemy so easily, and even if it is discovered by the enemy, normally it will not stop.
Come down, but retreat directly!
So in the current situation, something must have aroused the wariness of Jiangdong Army, but the commander-in-chief of Jiangdong Army was undecided, so he put on this posture as a test.
If Gan Ning could not hold back for a moment and went out to kill the general, then on the one hand it would prove that Jiangdong Army generals were right to worry. On the other hand, the distance was still relatively far. Even if Gan Ning jumped out and jumped out, he would still have to run.
A certain distance is enough for Jiangdong's soldiers to react, and then it is possible for the ambush to turn into a chase.
Although Gan Ning felt that his side was not bad at chasing, it would be troublesome if it really turned into a chase in the mountains and forests...
Gan Ning suddenly realized what had alerted Jiang Dongjun.
It must have been discovered by Jiang Dongjun when Gan Ning had asked someone to contact his water village!
It's not a problem on Gan Ning's side, but a signal problem on the Shuizhai side.
Gan Ning's side used reflective light to send out contact signals. They sent it behind Jiangdong's army, so Jiangdong's army couldn't detect it. But the problem is that when Shuizhai sent a reply to Gan Ning, Jiangdong's army might also see it. So Jiangdong's army could not detect it.
Nine times out of ten, the army was alerted by this, so they used this trick to test whether there was an ambush.
Gan Ning secretly thought it was a dangerous situation and slowly sat down on the ground, signaling his soldiers to be calm and wait for the next change.
Time seemed to freeze for a while, and then the Jiangdong Army lifted its alert status, and the team gradually returned to a straight line and continued to advance.
Gan Ning exhaled a long breath, and then whispered: "Send the order, everyone is ready..."
Jiangdong's army is getting closer and closer.
Gan Ning searched for the location of General Jiangdong, but did not find any special person or familiar figure.
The person leading the front of Jiangdong Army seems to be just a military prince.
This can be recognized from the armor and surrounding guards.
Two hundred steps.
One hundred steps...
Fifty steps!
Gan Ning could no longer wait and search. If he dragged on any longer, Jiangdong's army in front might find the trees blocking the road!
Gan Ning roared, and immediately he jumped out of the bushes like a tiger, waving his sword and charged at Jiangdong's army!
The soldiers brought by Gan Ning also jumped out of the grass, tree holes, and shadows in response.
Some held swords and followed Gan Ning to kill them, while others raised their bows and arrows and fired furiously.
The stunned soldiers of Jiangdong Army fell down with blood spattered before they could stop and take a defensive posture.
Killing cries, roars, exclamations and screams occurred one after another in the woods. The clear sound of weapons clashing was mixed with the muffled sound of bones and flesh being torn apart. Blood dyed the wasteland in the mountains and forests red, watering the weeds under the feet of both sides.
Because the soldiers of Sichuan and Sichuan originally lived in an environment with more mountains and less water, and luxuriant forests, which is very different from the soldiers of Jiangdong who live on the water and swamps all year round, so even if they are wearing iron armor, they can still survive on rocks, shrubs, and slopes.
Running and jumping quickly on sloping ground.
On the other hand, the Jiangdong soldiers were naturally at a disadvantage. While they had to stare at the swords, guns and arrows of the Sichuan and Shu soldiers, they also had to pay attention to the weeds and loose soil under their feet. If they were not careful, they might lose their balance and the original attack would not be successful.
It means putting yourself under the sword of your opponent.
Gan Ning shouted, blood rushing through his body, making fighting spirit boil!
Gan Ning took a big step forward and got out of the way of the thrusting spear. Then he stabbed forward with the sword in his hand. A panicked Jiangdong soldier was killed by the knife before he could react and fell to the sky.
While swords and guns were being brandished and flesh and blood was being splashed, Gan Ning was still looking for Jiangdong's generals, trying to directly kill the opposing generals to determine the victory, reduce the fighting time, and create some opportunities for the next attack on Jiangdong's water village.
Gan Ning's martial arts were basically geared toward actual combat.
In Sichuan and Shu, not everyone can live an easy life. There are always some people who need to lick blood from the knife edge and compete for benefits that even the big shots look down upon.
When Gan Ning was young, he was known as "Jinfan", but in fact, no matter how nice and loud the name was, he could not escape his nature as a water thief.
Being a water thief is not a glorious profession.
Because after humans began to form tribes, countries, and societies, they would inevitably tend to cooperate with each other and abide by order, at least on the surface, and thieves and thieves have always been harmonious.
"Three abuses", "low-grade" and so on are linked together
Yes, even if the storytelling talks about heroes, thieves, three heroes and five righteousnesses, in fact it is not that the common people like "thieves and thieves", but that the common people hope to have such people when they face oppression.
I will just vent my anger on them.
Who likes to be a thief after being born?
At least Gan Ning didn't like it.
However, in the previous structure of Sichuan and Shu, local gentry controlled everything in Sichuan and Shu, from people to things.
Visible and invisible shackles shrouded Sichuan and Shu, and no one could break the hierarchy. Even if Gan Ning led a group of people, they could only become rangers and water thieves, and could not squeeze into the normal ranks of promotions.
But war and troubled times changed everything.
Gan Ning can now use the sword in his hand to get what he wants!
The blood is like mist and rain.
No fear of life, no fear of death.
Gan Ning was like a tiger and leopard, jumping among the rocks and bushes.
After the Jiangdong soldiers panicked, they all raised their swords and whizzed at Gan Ning. They also realized that Gan Ning was a general. Maybe it was for the reward, or maybe they felt that they had no choice but to take advantage of him.
However, ordinary Jiangdong soldiers could not compete with Gan Ning. Even if multiple people attacked together, they could not stop Gan Ning's attack. At most, they would only create some trouble for Gan Ning.
Two or three Jiangdong soldiers attacked Gan Ning with swords and spears. However, with a loud shout, Gan Ning used his feet hard and advanced instead of retreating. He crashed into the inner circle of Jiangdong soldiers holding long spears. Not only did he escape the other soldiers
A Jiangdong soldier slashed and opened the chest of the Jiangdong soldier holding a spear with a single blow.
Amid the screams and screams, Jiang Dongbing, who was holding a spear, subconsciously reached out to fish it out to protect his intestines that had fallen to the ground. Before the broken intestines completely hit the ground, his life had already disappeared.
Gan Ning rolled down to avoid the bloody blood pouring down on his head and face. He immediately picked up a sword dropped by an unknown person on the ground. After dodging the continuous slashes that followed, he directly attacked with both hands.
The swords slashed randomly, and the swords were as bright as snow, intertwining into a net of death, wrapping up the soldiers of Jiangdong Army layer by layer.
Several Jiangdong soldiers who approached Gan Ning suddenly spurted blood. Their hands and feet were cut off, or their chests and necks were cut.
Under the sunlight, the blood was extremely red.
Even though Gan Ning tried his best not to let the blood cover his face or stain the handle of the knife, it was still unavoidable that the shirt and armor were stained with minced meat and blood.
For a moment, Gan Ning was like an ancient ferocious beast, exuding a frightening aura.
The more people kill, the more eyes look different.
When looking at a person, he either looks at the neck, or looks at the heart, liver, and spleen, and even moves his hands and feet involuntarily, preparing for a fatal blow.
It's like seeing a tiger lower its waist and abdomen slightly. Even an idiot can understand that the next moment will be a fierce attack.
Seeing Gan Ning like this, several other soldiers from Jiangdong were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they turned around and fled back in panic.
Under the leadership of Gan Ning, the Sichuan and Shu armies became powerful.
The battle line of Jiangdong soldiers did not last long, and soon began to collapse and flee.
Gan Ning shook off the blood on his hands and sword, but frowned a little, "Where is General Jiangdong? Is he hiding at the back? He just ran away when he saw that the situation was not going well."
Zhou Tai really shrank back.
Although both he and Gan Ning were born as water thieves, water thieves and water thieves are not all the same.
Zhou Tai's career as a water thief was more on lakes than on rivers.
Due to the geographical relationship, although the upper and lower reaches of the river are the same river, they show different shapes.
People in Sichuan and Sichuan are very lively and speak quickly and urgently, while people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang speak relatively slowly and leisurely.
This is not to say that Zhou Tai is not brave and desperate, but Zhou Tai will be more comfortable than Gan Ning throughout his entire career as a water thief.
There is basically no way out when fighting for boats, joining gangs, etc. in the upper reaches of the river. If you lose or get injured, even if you jump out of the boat and escape, you may not be able to survive in the strong currents upstream, so
Naturally, water thieves like Gan Ning must be more ruthless.
For Zhou Tai, in the downstream environment, the water flow is relatively gentle, and there are a lot of reeds and thatch in the swamps and lakes. Even if he loses the fight, if he jumps into the water and the thatch and reeds are hidden, even if his opponent wants to kill them all.
, it’s not that easy to find someone, so Zhou Tai has been injured all over his body since he was a child, but he never died.
Gan Ning rushed to the front because he was used to rushing to the front.
Zhou Tai fell behind, and it was because Zhou Tai felt danger that he stayed behind.
There is no right or wrong, and it does not mean that Zhou Tai is not brave, but the environment is different, and the character formed and the fighting mode chosen are different.
Therefore, when Gan Ning's killer came out, Zhou Tai realized that something was wrong and immediately decided to move in on the spot.
He did not hesitate, nor did he try to fight Gan Ning.
After all, there was no Emperor Sun around to protect him, and there was no reason why he had to sacrifice his life.
Since the Sichuan-Shu Army has appeared here, it means that the Sichuan-Shu Army has already been prepared!
What's more important is that Zhou Tai has always felt that he was in danger and was being targeted, and now it has been confirmed!
As soon as Zhou Tai withdrew, Jiangdong's army was even more defeated.
The vanguard changed to the rear team, and the rear team became the vanguard. Jiangdong's army retreated along the original road in disarray...
Just when Zhou Tai was defeated and fled in panic in the mountains and forests, another group of Jiangdong soldiers were stationed on the top of the hill where Zhou Tai was stationed.
Zhou Yu sent out his own military academy and led a group of newly transferred soldiers to quietly ambush in the mountains.
"As expected by the governor, the bandits have an ambush! Get ready!"
