Chapter 1081 Gan Ning retreats after cheating defeat
Gan Ning looked back at the eight soldiers around him and asked, "What's the news?"
One of them said: "General, we have detected the large ship transporting grain from Wu State, and it is coming to Jiangxia. The fat sheep are coming, and we can make another profit, which will make Sun Jian feel heartbroken."
"good!"
Gan Ning praised, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Sun Jian's army was stationed in Jiangxia and wanted to capture Jiangxia County, so he never retreated. Sun Jian relied on large ships to escort grain, and large ships to transport grain, ordnance, and soldiers. As long as Gan Ning
Ning cut off the transportation channel to Jiangdong, and Sun Jian was bound to be in chaos.
Gan Ning asked: "How many grain ships are there?"
One of them replied: "Captain Gan, there are ten large ships in Jiangdong!"
Ten ships??
Gan Ning murmured softly, with a thoughtful look on his face. Immediately, Gan Ning asked: "Are the ships in Jiangdong going with the wind or against the wind?" Several soldiers did not expect Gan Ning to ask this question, and they all
After pondering for a moment, a soldier finally said: "Captain, the ship in Jiangdong is going against the wind, but the wind on the river is not strong, so it has no effect."
Gan Ning said solemnly: "It doesn't matter how big or small the wind is, as long as there is wind."
With a big move, he called the soldiers behind him over, whispered a few words into the soldiers' ears, and then several soldiers jumped into the river and quickly disappeared.
Gan Ning shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers driving the boat to hurry up and disappear on the river.
…
On the turbulent river, ten large ships were moving slowly, not very fast.
Among them, there was a general standing on a large ship in the center. This man wore a helmet and carried a sword. He stood in the breeze and looked extremely majestic. This man's name was Ling Cao, and he was the chief officer in charge of the food shipment.
There was also a captain standing next to Ling Cao. The captain asked: "General, it's strange that Gan Ning's navy was not encountered during this transportation of grain."
Ling Cao looked at the captain who was talking to him and asked, "Do you want to meet him?"
"Don't want to, don't want to!"
The captain shook his head repeatedly, and after speaking twice, he whispered: "Our army was forced so badly by Gan Ning, I still hope to meet Gan Ning's navy and fuck him."
Ling Cao chuckled and said, "That's right, we have to fight Gan Ning back!"
After a pause, Ling Cao said, "Just pray and hope that Gan Ning will come soon."
The boat was moving slowly on the river.
Suddenly, Ling Cao's pupils shrank and he shouted: "Be on guard!" The order was passed on, and soldiers immediately conveyed Ling Cao's order with flags. The nine ships around saw the flags displayed on Ling Cao's ship and quickly
respond.
In the distance, blurry shadows gradually became clearer.
As far as the eye can see, there are six large ships.
Every large ship had the banner of "Navy Commander Gan" on it. It was obviously Gan Ning who led his army to kill them.
The warships of the two armies were heading towards each other. Gan Ning stood on the bow and looked at the nine large ships in the distance. He sneered twice and shouted: "Bring me the bow!" A soldier held the bow and arrow in both hands and handed it to him respectfully.
Gan Ning took the strong bow, raised his hand and aimed at Ling Cao's position, drew the bow and shot an arrow, heading towards Ling Cao.
The bow and arrow came out from the string, flying like a shooting star chasing the moon.
"puff!!"
In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning shot the captain next to Ling Cao.
With a scream, the captain fell down.
Immediately afterwards, six more consecutive bows and arrows were fired, killing six soldiers under Ling Cao's command. Ling Cao stared in the direction of Gan Ning, clenching his fists, and his eyes flashed with blazing anger.
He watched the soldiers around him fall one after another, and his heart felt calm. He looked at the approaching warships in front, with an intriguing smile on his lips. When Gan Ning's ship approached, Ling Cao shouted: "Send the order, let me
The battle between the first to fifth ships accelerated and headed towards Gan Ning."
At this moment, Ling Cao actually laughed loudly.
He laughed loudly and said: "Gan Ning, do you think we will be unprepared? Well, water thieves are water thieves, and thieves' nature is hard to change. I have long expected that you will lead troops to rob food, and I have been waiting for you for a long time.
"
As soon as Ling Cao finished speaking, he saw that the decks of five large ships were full of soldiers. These soldiers were hiding in the cabins. They waited for Gan Ning to attack and then rushed out immediately. They hid in the ships because of the weight.
, it will also cause the draft of the large ship, which is similar to the effect of escorting grain in the ship, but there is a problem of depth.
Gan Ning pointed at Ling Cao and shouted: "Ling Cao, you are so cruel, I will come again next time. Turn the rudder and retreat!"
He immediately retreated without any hesitation.
All six warships turned around, trying to escape and catch up to the five Soochow ships.
On the Wu Jun warship, Ling Cao showed a confident look on his face. He looked at Gan Ning who was escaping and showed a faint smile. A general next to Ling Cao frowned and said, "General, could this be Gan Ning's fraud?"
What's the plan? It's probably Gan Ning who lured our warships into pursuit so he could ambush the warships?"
Ling Cao shook his head and said: "Impossible, Gan Ning won't cheat defeat?"
The general immediately asked: "Why?"
Ling Cao said confidently: "The lord led an army to besiege Jiangxia, which put Jia Xu and Huang Zu in crisis. They had to rely on Gan Ning's power to rescue the siege. Gan Ning wanted to rescue the siege, but the only way was to rob grain, causing the Wu army to have food and fodder.
Lack of food forced the lord to retreat with his troops. Gan Ning had no choice but to rob the grain, so he really came to rob the grain, but he did not expect that there were only five grain ships in our army, and the remaining five large ships were transporting soldiers.
.”
Ling Cao took a long breath and sighed: "Gan Ning, Gan Ning, you finally fell into my hands, what do you think?"
Five large ships headed by Ling Cao continued their journey carrying grain and fodder, following the five large ships.
Ahead, Gan Ning led his army to escape.
However, the speed of the six large ships led by Gan Ning was not very fast. They were always hung behind by the six warships of Wu State, and it was difficult to escape from the situation of being pursued. After chasing and escaping, in front of the river were Gan Ning's six large ships.
, behind are Wu Jun's five large ships, forming a beautiful scenery, very spectacular.
Half an hour later, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed.
Gan Ning raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Throw away the stones on the boat and speed up immediately."
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
The six warships continued to throw large rocks, all of which fell into the river, causing countless splashes. As the weight of the warships decreased, the draft of the six warships gradually became shallower, and their speed also began to increase.
He got up and pushed away the five large ships that followed him for a distance.
Seeing the distance between the two sides widening, a general on the Wu army's warship shouted: "Speed up and move forward."
This general is not tall, about seven feet tall, but he is strong and strong. His name is Quan Rou, a fierce general under Sun Jian, who follows Ling Cao on the expedition. Ling Cao is responsible for escorting the large ships of grain and fodder, while Quan Rou
Responsible for five warships loaded with soldiers, specially designed to deal with Gan Ning's sneak attack.
The warship led by Gan Ning moved forward at full speed, and Quan Rou also gave the order to move forward at full speed.
Halfway through, Gan Ning shouted: "Change the marching formation and move forward quickly with a long snake." Gan Ning gave the order, and the warship headed by Gan Ning became the head of the snake, speeding up again. The four warships behind it
The ship accelerated slightly and followed Gan Ning's warship, forming the body of the giant snake, and finally a warship formed the tail of the snake.
The six warships advanced in a long snake formation, which looked very strange.
Quanrou's deputy general looked at it and said in a deep voice: "Gan Ning made a long snake, is there some trick?"
Quanrou said: "Our warships are full of soldiers. Their strength is better than Gan Ning's. We are not afraid of Gan Ning. Speed up and see what tricks Gan Ning can do." Although Quanrou also doubted Gan Ning.
What he wanted to do was to defeat Gan Ning. This was not only the thought of Quan Rou, but also the thought of all the Wu soldiers.
When the soldiers heard Quan Rou's words, they did not stop him and continued the pursuit.
