Chapter two hundred and seventieth comes naturally
"Hey! Yuan Shu's warship has changed"
"What are you doing? They are lined up in a row and they are not moving. Are they going to die?"
Gan Ning looked at Yuan Shu's hundreds of ships, and he was very surprised by the sudden change.
"They are not going to die, but preparing to cut off their tails to survive!"
Guo Jia stood beside Gan Ning and whispered: "Obviously they have also discovered that their warships are not as good as ours. If they continue like this, they will be slowly devoured by us sooner or later."
"Yuan Shu's side must be in danger of someone seeing it. Once their warship is gone, the transport ship behind it will also be finished."
"Now they are abandoning these hundreds of warships in order to save the transport ships behind them and abandon their vehicles to protect their commanders. It seems that Yuan Shu is also somewhat decisive."
Guo Jia chuckled a little. He didn't think highly of Yuan Shu in the past, but his ability should not be underestimated. His decisiveness alone could not be compared to that of ordinary people.
Throwing away those hundreds of warships and nearly one hundred thousand naval troops at the drop of a hat is not something that ordinary people can do.
As far as he knew, there were not many naval forces under Yuan Shu's command, only less than 300,000 in total.
Losing one-third of it all at once is already a serious injury.
"Hehe! Lose the car to save the handsome man, only if he can keep it."
When Gan Ning heard this, a bloody smile appeared on his face.
"Military advisor, you are here and I will come as soon as I go."
After speaking, without waiting for Guo Jia to respond, he directly began to display his command flag and issue orders. Since Yuan Shu's army began to change, of course he had to respond.
In an instant, strange warships emerged from behind the army. These warships were very long, but very narrow, but extremely fast.
It looks like a swordfish in the sea, galloping quickly on the river.
In the blink of an eye, they had already rushed to the warships of Yuan Shu's company.
Yuan Shu's navy moved very quickly, and a series of scorpions formed a line on the river, turning into iron ropes across the river.
And those swordfish-like warships were specially built to deal with this situation.
Each of these warships turned into arrows and directly impacted Yuan Shu's iron chain warship.
Boom boom boom!
When the Swordfish warships and the naval warships approached Yuan Shu, they all exploded one by one, together with Yuan Shu's stern. Soon, waves of huge waves arose on the river due to the explosions.
"Haha! The army is advancing"
Seeing this, Gan Ning quickly discovered the gap between Yuan's army on the river, so he waved his flag, and the warships behind him also surged up quickly.
If Yuan Shu is to be defeated this time, Yuan Shu's army will naturally not be allowed to escape obediently. As long as Yuan Shu's army is destroyed, Yuan Shu's vitality will be severely damaged.
Such an opportunity is not easy to find, and now only Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are left in the south, and other princes have also been defeated.
Once Yuan Shu, the top prince, is defeated, Xuzhou's reputation will also rise.
Now, their Xuzhou soldiers and horses have been holding back for so many years and can finally take action in an all-round way.
Nowadays, it is obvious to the world that among the major princes in the world, the imperial court still occupies the land of Sili. Over the years, they have slowly developed and their strength has increased a lot.
Especially when Cao Cao took the initiative to defect to the past and added Lu Bu as the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu was very honest and had no independent thoughts because the imperial court was upright.
In this way, the strength of the imperial court is indeed not bad. An army of one million is still enough to intimidate the surrounding areas. However, the struggle for power in the imperial court has prevented them from leaving the land of Sili. Compared with other princes, it is a bit inferior.
point.
For example, Yuan Shao in the north finally defeated Gongsun Zan in the eighth year of Chuping and besieged him in Youbeiping for six months. In the end, the opponent burned himself to death.
At this point in the North, Yuan Shao has taken over most of Youzhou's base.
But then, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in Jizhou in the Taihang Mountains. This time the Yellow Turban Army was not like the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion.
This time the number of Yellow Turbans was smaller, but there were many more elites, and their weapons and equipment were also very good. A few of them were even wearing iron armor.
Coupled with the presence of the Yellow Turban warriors, the armies in Jizhou and Yuan Shao fought back and forth.
As a result, Yuan Shao originally wanted to continue to expand, but he was unable to do so.
Because once he sends troops, the Yellow Turbans will attack his hometown, and the Yellow Turbans are in the Taihang Mountains, which is their base camp.
Even if Yuan Shu's army wanted to attack the Yellow Turban Army's home base, it would be difficult to do so.
So Yuan Shao in the north was trapped again.
In addition, there are Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou, these other great princes.
On the surface, the Yuan family is the most powerful. One in the south and one in the north, the two brothers of the Yuan family occupy almost all four states in the world.
Moreover, both Yuzhou and Jizhou were large states before the Han Dynasty, with the economy and population at the forefront.
In most people's eyes, the two Yuan brothers are currently the top three princes, so if they can defeat Yuan Shu, it will greatly improve the morale of Xuzhou.
Now, Su Fan no longer needs to hide himself. There are not many forces around him. He is the controller of Xuzhou and Yuzhou is Yuan Shu's base.
However, Yuzhou's potential has been greatly reduced after Yuan Shu's constant harm.
After all, in the battle with Sun Jian, Yuan Shu had to dispatch troops and horses from Yuzhou all the time. Wherever the soldiers and horses came from, they were not all the people at the bottom of Yuzhou.
Yuan Shu was not Su Fan, and he didn't have the kindness to do so. He issued an order that no matter what he did, people had to be recruited.
In addition, under his rule, the nobles did evil and continued to devour the surrounding interests, making the lives of the people at the bottom worse than death.
People's hearts are withered.
In terms of potential, Yuzhou is far inferior to Xuzhou.
As for Yanzhou, the imperial court took control of the two counties with the help of Cao Cao, but in the final analysis, Yanzhou's potential was very poor, almost the same as Qingzhou.
Qingzhou, on the other hand, still belongs to the imperial court, but Guan Hai has harassed them everywhere, and they have no power at all.
If Yuan Shu is captured, his family will almost be the only one there, and their strength will increase by leaps and bounds.
So no matter what, this time, Yuan Shu's army cannot be let go.
For this reason, Su Fan brought almost 80% of the generals here this time, and almost half of the navy battlefield.
Hundreds of thousands of elite troops will be dispatched to capture Yuan Shu's army no matter what.
So if Yuan Shu wants to cut off his tail to survive, Su Fan won't give him a chance.
The warships suddenly accelerated and rushed directly towards Yuan Shu's warship. With the destruction of the swordfish warship, Yuan Shu's warship was unable to block the entire river.
Soon countless battlefields broke through the blockade of Yuan Shu's battlefield.
Looking at Yuan Shu's thousands of transport ships, Gan Ning and other generals showed no mercy and ordered a direct bombardment of these transport ships.
Unless they surrender, they will be bombed and sunk directly.
