Xun You boarded the ship halfway and brought news of the enemy.
He cupped his hands and said: "Sun Jian's navy has entered the Han River, and the commander is Huang Gai."
The Han River, also known as the Han River and the Xiang River, is located on the left bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and is the longest tributary of the Yangtze River.
The river is meandering and gradually narrowing, making it unsuitable for large ships.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gongda," Liu Kedao said.
Originally, he thought that Xun You was just stationed in Jiujiang County to inquire about Yuan Shu's army. Unexpectedly, he had already traveled upstream along the Yangtze River and obtained information about Sun Jian's army.
Xun You responded to his lord's praise.
"This is what subordinates should do."
"My Lord, if Huang Gai enters the Han River, I am sure to annihilate them all!" Gan Ning said loudly.
Yangzhou¡¯s seafaring technology is very skilled, and with the compass invented by Liu Ke, navigation is even more powerful, but they are still digesting the sextant technology.
Knowledge involving the roundness of the earth, the division of longitude and latitude, and optics will be difficult to learn in a short while.
As for the inland rivers, Gan Ning was more confident. After half a lifetime, how could he not have some real skills?
"My lord, Sun Jian's army does not have a full-time naval force. They all use both land and water." Liu Ye suddenly added.
Liu Ke never dared to neglect great talents and quickly asked: "What is Ziyang's clever plan?"
"There is no clever calculation, but the lord should send a group of troops ashore first to ambush the only way from Han River to Xiangyang. When General Gan defeats the enemy and takes advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy, he will definitely defeat the enemy." Liu Ye said.
Originally Gan Ning was still very angry, thinking that Liu Ye, an outsider, had no right to dictate his battles, but now he was really convinced.
"After all, the basis of their strategy is to defeat the Huang Gai navy as a premise.
Thinking about it this way, it¡¯s really necessary.
"What Mr. Liu said is absolutely true. It's because I didn't think carefully." Gan Ning said.
"Okay!" Liu Ke agreed.
After entering the Han River, Liu Ke and Dian Wei led 5,000 troops and horses to disembark and headed for the ambush site, while Gan Ning continued to advance with the main force.
Gan Ning directly used iron cables to connect boats to cross the river, which was very domineering.
It is indeed a chain ship, but it is different. It only connects ten large ships. The iron cables are extremely long and are not afraid of fire attacks. Even if the wooden boat burns, the iron rope will not.
Under the iron cable crossing the river, there are many buildings and boats, but no one or a boat dares to provoke.
No matter how stupid the spies in Huang Gai's army were, they discovered the strange changes in the river and were filled with fear.
But it was impossible for him to abandon all his ships, land and escape.
Huang Gai and Zu Mao came side by side to explore Gan Ning's navy from a distance. They seemed to hear the loud noise of the big ship riding the wind and waves.
It¡¯s tricky, very tricky!
"Darong, do you see anything fishy?" Huang Gai said.
"The only person with such a navy in the entire Yangtze River is Dongyang Hou'er." Zu Mao sighed.
Huang Gai also sighed at the same time. Dongyang Hou Liu Dingfang was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. It was not so unacceptable that he would rescue Liu Biao.
"However, Dongyang Hou has made great achievements in battle, and his navy alone is so powerful. What can Lord Sun Jian do to resist him?"
"In this battle, we can only sink the ship. Otherwise, if the ship is lost, the lord will be the turtle in the urn, and the only soldiers and horses from Yangzhou who will be trapped in Jingzhou are waiting for them." Huang Gai said firmly.
In other words, it is impossible for them to escape from this battle.
Zu Mao nodded, with the intention of fighting to the death.
"Our army is in the upper reaches, which is the only advantage. We should look for the turbulent place on the river, charge suddenly, and board the big ship to fight hand-to-hand, so that we can have a chance of survival." Huang Gai analyzed.
Regarding water warfare, Huang Gai also did a lot of research, otherwise Sun Jian would not trust him to hand over the water army.
"Rush over?" Zu Mao looked at Huang Gai in astonishment, looking at the domineering ship crossing the river with iron cables, and couldn't help but said, "That's easy to say!"
"Yeah, it's easier said than done, and it's even stupid." Huang Gai suddenly tightened his grip on his sword and said, "But right now, it's a last resort."
Zu Mao could only nod.
After returning to the army, Huang Gai immediately issued a military order and said: "Send my order and all the ships will sail southward."
snort! Even if the enemy force is strong, we can only choose the time and place for the decisive battle!
This is Huang Gai¡¯s confidence.
Gan Ning saw that he was about to catch up with the enemy, but he could only sit behind and eat the waves. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.angry.
The big ship has difficulty moving and its speed is a bit slow.
Suddenly, the river became narrow and the water flowed rapidly.
Gan Ning expected this in his mind and blurted out: "The whole army is ready to fight!"
The officers and men didn¡¯t know why, but the messengers sent out signals one after another and the trumpets kept sounding.
This movement almost scared Huang Gai away from his desire to fight to the death. The navy general of Dongyang Marquis, surprisingly, actually saw through his thoughts.
The horn is rising and falling, is this a provocation?
"Are we greedy for life and afraid of death?" Huang Gai's military order remained unchanged, and the ship completed the U-turn, like a swift shark, pounced on its prey.
"Well done!" Gan Ning smiled and raised the sword in his hand. There was no fear in his eyes, but the flames of battle were dancing in his eyes.
"General, we saw the enemy's large ship!" the scout report reported.
"Okay!" Gan Ning laughed. Suddenly, an arrow shot out and hit Gan Ning's face.
Gan Ning held the sword in his arms and did not move a step from beginning to end. He held the arrow in his teeth and spat it into the river lightly.
The soldiers exclaimed, this scene was too shocking.
I have seen people catching arrows with their bare hands, but never seen people biting them with their teeth.
He is both a fierce and ruthless person!
Gan Ning knew clearly that when the arrow came to him, it was already weak.
"No need to make a fuss, get the ballista ready! Fire!"
The soldiers woke up and one arrow from the ballista penetrated the enemy's deck.
The rain of arrows continued, and the roar of the crossbows continued.
Huang Gai¡¯s army had already lost one-third of its ships before they even connected. He felt great pain in his heart and couldn't help shouting:
"This is Huang Gai, who is the enemy general?!"
"Gan Ning!" Gan Ning replied indifferently.
"But under Dongyang Hou's tent? Why did you raise an unjust army?" Huang Gai said.
"Hmph! In response to the appointment of Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, I came to meet the rebellious minister Sun Jian!" Gan Ning said.
Huang Gai was about to say something big, but he was interrupted by Gan Ning, saying: "Don't talk to me. If you are a man, talk with the knife in your hand!"
"That's the big ship, brothers, come closer to me!" Gan Ning pointed to Huang Gai's big ship.
The ship slowly approached, still two meters away, but Gan Ning couldn't wait any longer and jumped on board.
With a loud roar, like a wild beast, it grabbed a soldier's head and smashed it against the wooden stake, causing red and white things to splash everywhere.
Even though the soldier was dead, his limbs were still twitching.
Looking at the tragic death of his colleagues, no one in Sun Jian's army dared to come forward.
When Gan Ning saw this, no matter how many people were on the opposite side, he rushed over with a big knife, often cutting them in two, and blood spread all over the deck.
He killed dozens of people in a row and was extremely brave.
"Thieves, don't show off your cruelty!" Zu Mao stepped forward to fight Gan Ning. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
