After hearing his doubts, of course someone asked him to answer his questions.
It was none other than Sun Quan.
Yes... what I heard from Sun Quan is absolutely unquestionable fact.
"Gan Ning, don't underestimate me."
"The torpedoes you used before, the bombs we used when defending the city, or the crossbows used by Zhu Huan and others on the shore were all made by this girl Huang Yueying."
Sun Quan was really convinced... He still remembered that when he first met Huang Yueying, he was probably even more disdainful than Gan Ning.
But when he saw Huang Yueying's fierceness, it can be said that his awe for this aunt was even higher than that of Yi Xiaotian.
People are easily shocked by such contrasts.
"Lord?
You...you're not kidding me, are you?
a ha ha ha?
Just...just those terrible weapons, they all come from...from..."
At first Gan Ning thought Sun Quan was joking, but slowly... when he saw the unadulterated awe in Sun Quan's eyes, he suddenly understood that Sun Quan had not lied to him at all.
Sun Quan has not yet told Gan Ning that the development of previous chariots was probably due to this girl. It is a pity that Gan Ning has never seen the majestic power of chariots on the battlefield. Otherwise, the current Gan Ning may not be able to tell anyone.
Together with him, he is worshiping this girl Huang Yueying.
At the same time, just when Gan Ning was in a daze, many burly men walked out of the camp - Gan Ning knew these people. Although he couldn't name them, they were familiar with the construction of various fortifications in the camp, as well as those
The siege equipment that had been prepared was all made from scratch by these big men, using local materials directly from the mountains next to the camp.
I heard that they were craftsmen from the craftsman's workshop brought by Yi Xiaotian - they made the Moon-Chasing Repeating Crossbow, and...
And bombs…
Wait a moment…
While Gan Ning was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked some details.
He always thought that the bomb was made by Yi Xiaotian himself with these big men, but... these big men seemed to come from a place called the Craftsman's Workshop?
What did Yi Xiaotian call Huang Yueying just now?
Square……
"Master!"
"Master, you are finally here!"
"Master, please let us wait!"
"Master, look at what we have built these days..."
"Master, this is my new idea about the weapon these days..."
"Master..."
"Fang..."
Just imagine, a group of big men surrounded a pretty and cute girl, some squatting down, some sitting, all looking adoring and respectful, and calling each other the boss of the shop. Such a scene, if it weren't for
Who dares to believe it if you see it with your own eyes?
"Gan Ning?
Stupid?
By the way, haven’t you been asking who the owner of the craftsman’s workshop is these days?”
Sun Quan looked at Gan Ning's dumbfounded expression, smiled and patted his shoulder, moved closer and asked:
“You shouldn’t think it’s Yi Xiaotian, right?
Hahaha…”
In short, Huang Yueying's arrival finally gave Yi Xiaotian the opportunity to continue developing bombs.
As for why the bomb was developed...
According to Yi Xiaotian’s words, that is:
"There are ready-made targets in front of me. If I don't use them to test the power and effectiveness of the bomb, then I may never find such a good opportunity again."
"By the way, let me ask your General Sun, if I blow up his Wancheng, he won't hold me accountable, right?"
——
Time passed by like this minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed, and the stalemate between Liu Bei's army and the coalition forces continued.
On the other side, Guan Yu, who was stationed at Xiakou, finally moved.
However... just as he analyzed before, he is now facing enemies from both sides, and he cannot give up on either side.
All efforts were made to rescue Liu Bei, but the escape route was cut off, which would only make them pay a more painful price.
But if the rescue is not timely, even if they block the sneak attack from behind, they may still fail.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Guan Yu made a decision that may be extremely shocking to others.
——Take the initiative.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, when it was still a night of bright lights, Guan Yu took the initiative with Jiangxia's nearly 50,000 soldiers...
And their target is not Jiangdong as they imagined, but...Cao Ren.
Where is Cao Ren now?
Starting from Xiangyang, Cao Ren arrived at the eastern border of Jingzhou in three days. He just arrived in Anlu today. He is already less than a hundred miles away from Jiangxia in the south. As long as he drives quickly, it can all be traveled within a day.
But he didn't choose to rush forward.
Aside from the scouts, Cao Jun's scouts are the most elite in the world.
With them here, there is no fear that they will not be able to grasp the movements of Guan Yu's army.
only…
It was also early in the morning on the seventh day of the lunar month. Cao Ren climbed up to Anlu City and looked at the river scenery in the distance. There seemed to be a little more worry in his eyes.
The clouds on the sky are extremely thick. The sky was clear in Jingzhou yesterday, but today there will be wind and rain in the blink of an eye.
This...is not a good sign.
The key point is that what worries Cao Ren the most is not only the enemy's movements, but also the abnormalities in the river scene in front of him.
Because of his concern, Cao Ren specially called the fishermen near Anlu City to ask:
"Brother, have you seen the condition of this river recently?
Why do I see that the water level of this river has changed compared to before?"
The fishermen who followed Cao Ren to the heights did not feel restrained because the person standing in front of them was Cao Ren——
He just rubbed his chin and said worriedly:
"To tell you the truth, the river has been rising for half a month. The water level is much higher than in previous years. Although the water level is usually such high, it's not spring yet... If it's late summer or early autumn, heavy rains on the river bank will continue.
It’s still possible for the water level to reach this level, but this year… it’s really a bit strange.”
Listening to the fisherman's words, Cao Ren couldn't help but feel worried.
But...because the water did not rise significantly in a short period of time, he was not too nervous yet.
This is winter...in the middle of winter, many sections of the river are still covered with ice, which prevents the river from becoming too turbulent.
What's more, they are going to Xiakou to fight the enemy next. If the water rises, it may be more beneficial to them, who knows?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard something unusual coming from the distance——
It was not a celestial phenomenon, but a sound that was quite familiar to those on the battlefield.
Cao Ren immediately rushed to the outermost side of the city wall and looked far into the distance. Sure enough, a moment later, at the end of his gaze, a Qingqi was galloping towards Anlu City, galloping towards Anlu City.
