There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

There is a low-lying place on the waterway fifty miles north of Jinling City leading to the Yangtze River outlet. The draft here is not deep, and the water and grass are abundant, which is conducive to the driving and rowing of small warships. Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and the leaders of the water bandits , leading the navy under his command, ambushing in this puddle at the moment.

Gan Ning was sitting on the edge of a small boat, while poking a knife at the water surface, making ripples, while swinging up and down with a reed in his mouth, his tone seemed very helpless: "Damn, I've been waiting for several days. ! I don’t see Yuan Jun’s warship arriving here, could it be that the guy surnamed Guo miscalculated the time and delayed the battle opportunity?”

Compared with Gan Ning's sloppy and bearish appearance, Zhou Tai is obviously much calmer and more sophisticated.

Although I don't know why the pottery merchant insisted on believing in the tactics of a young scholar, Zhou Tai didn't make too many comments on the matter. Although the pottery merchant was young, Zhou Tai could feel that this man was not extraordinary, and he blindly believed in it. The strategist surnamed Guo must have his own ideas.

Zhou Tao poked the boat board with a sword, quietly looked at the distant river, and said indifferently: "The left and right have agreed to Mr. Tao Fu to join the ranks of the official army. No matter what he arranges, we, as the official army, will All you have to do is obey it, and nothing else.”

Gan Ning chuckled, turned his head and spat out the reed in his mouth into the Yangtze River, stuck out his tongue and licked the edge of the knife in his hand: "The problem is that I'm already getting impatient! Yuan Shu, that thief, why didn't he get there? Really Really anxious to kill people."

Zhou Tai couldn't get used to some of Gan Ning's habits, he frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Look at your stinky character, you're a member of the army anyway, can you be a little serious."

Gan Ningheng snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

At this moment, Jiang Qin suddenly jumped over from the nearby boat, and whispered to Zhou Tai, "Your master!"

Zhou Tai turned his head and glared at Jiang Qin dissatisfied.

Jiang Qin was a little dazed by Zhou Tai's stare, and didn't know what he said that offended Zhou Tai.

Gan Ning laughed, looked at Jiang Qin mockingly, pouted his lips and said, "It's the wrong name!"

"Oh!"

It was only then that Jiang Qin realized where he had offended Zhou Tai, and hurriedly corrected his mistake, and said again: "Captain Pinglu!"

Only then did Zhou Tai's expression soften appropriately.

Gan Ning slightly raised his eyebrows, and curled his lips aside.

Zhou Tai is quite vain.

"The spies have come to report that there is a large fleet coming down the river from the northern waterway!"

Zhou Tai and Gan Ning were all refreshed when they heard the words.

Gan Ning's buttocks and legs were vigorous, and he jumped directly from the side of the boat and landed on the deck: "Is it Yuan Shu's navy, or Jinling City's navy?"

Jiang Qin said to Gan Ning in a deep voice: "There are two naval forces, but Yuan Shu's navy is in front, and Jinling City's navy is behind!"

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai looked at each other in surprise.

When the pottery merchant conveyed Guo Jia's tactics, he told them to guard the waterway intersection tens of miles in front of Jinling City, and told them to send troops to attack Yuan Shu's water army when Yuan Jun arrived, and Yuan Shu's fleet would be at that time. In the front, the fleet of Jinling City is behind. They will then join Gan Ning and Zhou Tai with a group of Yangtze River water bandits to attack Yuan Shu's water army.

Regarding this matter, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai did not really believe it.

According to the theory, Yuan Shu's navy went down the river, and the potter's navy should prevent him from resisting Yuan Shu's navy from the south of the Yangtze River from his strategic position... Generally speaking, Yuan Shu's navy is not It is possible that those who ran in front of the potter's navy, even if they ran in front of their navy, according to common sense, Yuan Shu should turn around and defeat them first, instead of going straight to Jinling City along the river, he would throw the potter and them behind.

In the middle, what exactly happened that would cause the two armies to switch positions?

Will Tao and Yuan have a water fight?

It seems that the person surnamed Guo didn't seem to be bragging at all.

Zhou Tai rubbed his chin, turned his head to Gan Ning and said, "It seems that Mr. Guo is young, but he really has some calculations in his chest... Mr. Tao Fu once said when he arranged for us, we If once going into battle, Yuan Shu will definitely turn the bow of the ship and attack the Jinling Army behind him. At that time, the fleet of Jinling City will try to delay Yuan Shu's momentum as much as possible, and we will take advantage of this gap to storm Yuan Shu and win a complete victory. ...Whether this statement is true or not, it seems that we will soon be able to see the outcome."

Gan Ning said with a sinister smile, "Whether he is true or not, everything will be known after we go out, and what if Yuan Shu doesn't turn back? I am not afraid of him!"

……

……

Yuan Shu's fleet was going down the Yangtze River at this moment. Suddenly, a pair of densely packed boats came out from the sloping reed-strewn waterway and ran towards Yuan Shu's fleet at an extremely fast speed. Come straight in.

Lejiu was the first to discover the traces of the navy ahead, and hurriedly reported to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang were quite surprised when they heard the words, and hurried out of the cabin.

Yuan Shu squinted his eyes, watched carefully the sailors rushing towards him, and said to Yan Xiang, "I never imagined that the pottery thief would have a navy ambush here, and Yuan really underestimated him."

Behind Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, I'll see from below. Those soldiers and horses are just the last guards of Jinling City. It shouldn't be a big deal. Look, their warships are all small boats. , there is not even a decent building boat, and the people on the small boat are not uniformly dressed, and the weapons are also different, presumably they are weak troops under the command of pottery merchants, and they will not cause much trouble."

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and watched for a while, and also agreed with Yan Xiang's opinion.

"Right now, the defenders of Jinling City are also on the water formation. Lord Yan thinks, how should we deal with this battle?"

Yan Xiang stroked his beard slowly, and said: "It's good for the defenders of Jinling City to come to the river, so that we don't have to spend a lot of effort in attacking the city, and it's just right to clean them up at this moment... In the middle, this army The horses are all underdogs in the rear, and they won't make much progress. The key is the main force of the pottery merchants who follow them. Since the little thief surnamed Tao wants to make a final fight with the lord, the lord might as well follow his wish, and Let us first divide some small boats to block Yuan Shu's approaching army, and my lord will lead the army to attack the pottery bandits in the rear, first destroy the main force of the pottery merchants, and then wipe out the Jinling defenders in the front, and then there will be no more worries."

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes when he heard the words, pondered for a while, nodded and said, "It's possible!"

2 Forty Chapters Victory and Glory

According to Yan Xiang's strategy, Yuan Shu immediately divided his troops into two groups. A small number of soldiers and horses fought against Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's water bandit army with a blocking momentum, while most of the warships turned their bows and turned around to attack. In the hearts of Yuan Shu and others, "the main force of the water army in Jinling City".

As soon as Yuan Shu's navy made this arrangement, Guo Jia, who had been staring at the formation of Yuan Shu's fleet, had a relieved smile on his face.

"Yuan Shu is tricked!...Your Majesty, order the ships to hold back the main force of Yuan Shu's large fleet. We don't need to attack. We just need to maintain the formation and guard the gates...The rest will be left to Gan. Ning them to do it!"

Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang have won again in the past few days, and have cracked the "pottery merchant's scheme". Instead of looking down on Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's navy, they used their main force to attack the potters. This also laid the final bitter fruit for the failure of this battle.

Although the boats of Gan Ning and other water thieves were all small boats, they moved extremely fast. They took most of Yuan Shu's warships to attack the potter's main team, and they ordered their rowers to quickly move towards Yuan Shu's former army. Battleships approach.

The oarsman and poleman of the water thieves are completely different from the half-baked ones in Yuan Jun and Tao Shangjun, all of them are old drivers!They were on the Yangtze River waterway, as easy as visiting their own backyard. Controlling the boat was like strolling in a garden. Before they knew it, they seemed to be slowly approaching the front of Yuan Jun's fleet.

Seeing that Yuan Shu's fleet was already within range of his side, Zhou Tai waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"

The water thief army's arrow rain flew towards Yuan Shu's warship team in the south direction.

Compared with the accuracy of the Jinling Army and Yuan Shu Army on the river, the level of the water pirates shooting arrows on the river is obviously not at the same level.

With just a round of arrow rain, the water thieves basically blasted away the defensive front line of Yuan Shujun's southern warships.

In the Yuan army, Li Feng, the brave general under Yuan Shu's command, was in charge of commanding a part of the warships to deal with Gan Ning and the others.

In Li Feng's heart, he didn't think much of these "underdog teachers" of Jinling City, but when the arrows rained down, Li Feng obviously felt that something was wrong.

How can the sailors on these small boats look like underdogs?

It was clearly a group of tiger wolves... No, it should be killer whales!

At this moment, it was too late to rearrange the defensive formation. After a round of arrow rain, the brigade of the water thief army had no intention of stopping at all. The small boat used its flexible hull to quickly engage Yuan Shujun's water army. border.

The water thief's warship did not adopt the method of Tao and Yuan's two armies hitting each other's bows against the hull. In the eyes of Gan Ning and other water thieves, that method was completely adopted by junior players in water warfare!

The tactics of masters in water warfare are generally hard fights!

Although it is also a battle on the surface of the water, the pirates and the Tao Shang army's weak style of play is different. Each of them has a rope hanging in their hands. The ropes were thrown out one after another, and the iron nails were firmly pierced into the deck of the enemy ship. Then everyone jumped up and jumped onto the enemy ship to fight with Yuan Jun soldiers in close combat.
