Chapter 1,235 Does this guy have any other options?
The current situation is that although Gan Ning used tricks to protect the most elite navy in Jiangdong,... because there are not enough warships and warships - and these troops cannot be gathered in a very short time, so
Their strategic significance is far less than that of a complete navy.
With this premise…
"But... we don't have warships, so how can we delay Liu Bei's navy?"
"I have long heard that the navy under Liu Bei was personally trained by Guan Yunchang. Their fighting style is extremely brave. The key...their navy is all selected from the local men with excellent water skills. If there are no warships,
Even if our soldiers are of higher quality, trying to deal with them is just empty talk."
Gan Ning had a thorough understanding. He had led the navy all year round and had a thorough understanding of the naval strength of all forces in the world. If he said there was no chance of winning against Guan Yu, then it really meant that there was no chance of winning.
“What about overland?
What about the infantry and cavalry that intercepted them from land?”
Lu Xun was really unwilling to accept the fact that he had 30,000 troops but could not play their role, so he could only propose other methods.
Hearing what Lu Xun said, Gan Ning was a little depressed——
It seems that Sun Quan has recognized Lu Xun's status as the current military commander, but as a commander, how could he say such ill-considered words?
"How is this possible... We are the Navy... Let's not talk about whether we are familiar with fighting on the road or not. Even the weapons and equipment we are equipped with are hugely different from the infantry and cavalry on land——"
"No, Boyan is right, the way is to intercept it from the land."
As a result, just when Lu Xun realized that he had not thought carefully and wanted to apologize...Yi Xiaotian suddenly stood up and confirmed Lu Xun's idea.
This made Gan Ning unable to understand.
"ah?
Mr. Yi...what did you say?"
Gan Ning couldn't believe his ears... Just now he thought that the Yi Xiaotian in front of him was not far different from the image of resourcefulness in the rumors, but in the end, he was disappointed with just one sentence.
All I can say is...the two people sitting in front of him now are probably the kind of guys who are talking about war on paper. In terms of experience in water warfare, these two guys are not even qualified to carry their own shoes.
After being speechless for a while, Gan Ning planned to explain to the two laymen why the navy could not land.
However, Yi Xiaotian seemed to see what he was thinking, smiled, shook his head and said:
"General Gan might as well open up the direction of his thinking a little more?"
"What's the meaning?"
Yi Xiaotian allowed himself to relax his mind, and Gan Ning was at a loss again.
But looking at Lu Xun and Ma Yunlu's expectant eyes... and even Sun Quan, who was sitting in the back row, looked calm, Gan Ning suddenly felt a strange feeling...
——Is it possible that this guy really has a way?
It can only be said that Gan Ning still gets along less with Yi Xiaotian, and it is normal for him to have no idea about Yi Xiaotian's "magic".
"You can also delay the navy on land."
"..."
Gan Ning's head was pounding. He felt that he had finally understood the thinking of these people. They all talked empty talk without paying attention to facts. They just thought they could do it if they thought of it?
His silence made Yi Xiaotian laugh out loud. Seeing Gan Ning's depressed look, Yi Xiaotian quickly explained to Gan Ning:
"Does General Gan think that I think about Jiang Shui too simply?"
"Not to mention whether there are so many places at the ferries along both sides of the river that are suitable for blocking ships and fleets. The river at Danyang is three to five miles wide. The farther upstream you go, the wider the water becomes. Isn't that right?"
Gan Ning looked at Yi Xiaotian with a strange look, and after holding back for a long time, he said:
"Mr. Yi, isn't this a knowing consultant?"
"The water surface of the river is so spacious that there are currently no ships to intercept the fleet, so we can only rely on arrows - but how much hindrance can only arrows cause to Liu Bei and his navy?"
"Whether you can cum or not is another matter..."
Why did the allied forces of Cao Cao and Sun Liu confront each other and have to decide the outcome on the water?
The reason is this, the waterway is a very special offensive route independent of the entire territory.
Without taking precautions, the land army could not easily delay the movement of the fleet. However, when the navy approached the city, their suppression of the land army was extremely terrifying.
So even though Cao Cao had the only infantry and cavalry army in the world at that time, he still had to disembark his fleet at the front of Wulin Port to meet the enemy.
The situation is the same now - Jiangdong does not have a navy and fleet that can match Liu Bei's. According to Yi Xiaotian, intercepting hundreds or thousands of Mengchong battleships from land is nothing more than a fool's dream.
"In the final analysis, it's still a matter of equipment."
"Clam?"
"Didn't General Gan say that?
You are currently insufficiently equipped, whether you are fighting the army or the navy, you are in urgent need of sophisticated equipment, right?"
"Well...that's true, but..."
Yi Xiaotian suddenly interrupted Gan Ning, which made Gan Ning a little confused. But following Yi Xiaotian's words, Gan Ning looked at Yi Xiaotian with some confusion... Equipment?
Yi Xiaotian wants to provide them with equipment?
"If there are enough fire arrows...maybe..."
"No, General Gan, when it comes to dealing with ships on the water, Fire Arrow is a bit of a joke. I have something better here that I can give you Kangkang."
"Something better?"
It was not only Gan Ning who raised this question, but also Lu Xun and Sun Quan.
They quickly came over and looked at Yi Xiaotian expectantly——
Gan Ning was so anxious because he thought things were about to turn around, but Lu Xun and Sun Quan...these two people had seen Yi Xiaotian's so-called "good things" with their own eyes, and knew that Yi Xiaotian would take out any novelty at such a time.
It’s all normal, so——
"Sir! Could it be that you have been ready for a long time?"
"Yi...Yi Xiaotian...what the hell did you let people come out again?
It’s time now, so don’t hide it!”
Sun Quan was a little bored... He felt that Yi Xiaotian's ability to intrigue people was almost as good as his ability to invent novel gadgets.
Now his feelings for Yi Xiaotian have changed from the original jealousy to the current love and hate——
But no matter what, as long as he can win, he no longer cares about his own face.
With Gan Ning looking confused, Yi Xiaotian laughed loudly:
"General Sun has wronged me with his words. It's not that I didn't want to come up with it, it's just that I really didn't have the right manpower to implement these plans at that time."
"But it's different now. We have General Gan!"
Saying that, Yi Xiaotian raised his eyebrows at Gan Ning, which made Gan Ning feel a little embarrassed and confused.
