Chapter 21 Jinfan Ganning
As we approached, the brocade sails were dazzling against the sunlight, making Gan Ning's fleet look like clouds covered with silk. Under the north wind, the fleet slowly entered Pengzekou like a long snake.
The first Mengchong ship, which was leading, had already entered the waterway. Through the gap between the vines, I looked from a distance and saw that the enemy ship was majestic, narrow and long outside, with a long and green cowhide covering the ship, with holes on both sides and front and back, and a female wall on the deck, which was about three feet high, was re-arranged to fight against the enemy, with no overlying back, and a tree teeth, flags, golden drums on the front and back, even if they attacked each other with arrows and stones, they would not be able to penetrate.
Like the soldiers beside me, it was the first time I saw a regular navy. I saw more than ten huge Mengchong battleships lined up, extending gently at the mouth of the river. There were several fighting ships around the Mengchong ship, and scouts alternately covered them, alerting to possible enemy situations on the river at any time.
Seeing this, I felt a chill. Gan Ning was able to train such an elite naval army, no wonder he could cross the Yangtze River for several years and was almost unmatched.
This battle at Pengze Waterway will definitely be a fierce battle.
I have to be more careful.
While thinking, some soldier stepped on the rocks by the cliff. The gravel fell from a high altitude. With a "boom" sound, it fell into the torrent. The sound of the sound shocked a group of gulls and herons resting on the reef. The birds flapped their wings and flew across the river like lightning, flying towards the clouds.
A scout ship heard the movement and left the fleet and rushed over.
As the ship moved closer and closer, we could clearly see the enemy soldiers on the scout ship holding hook guns and shields. I was anxious. At present, the enemy ship had not yet entered the waterway. If the enemy scout ship turned to Shizhong Mountain, the five hundred elite soldiers I had painstakingly conquered would be exposed.
Just when I was helpless, I suddenly saw a small boat turning out from the foot of the mountain. A fisherman wearing a bamboo hat on the boat bent down to accumulate strength and was about to cast a net to open the fish. Look at the fisherman's behavior and dressing, it was clearly dressed in the fisherman's costumes in Pengze.
The soldiers on the scout boat leaned forward, questioned a few questions, and then turned around and returned to the fleet. My nervous heart fell down. Fortunately, the fisherman happened to appear, otherwise the fruit would be unpredictable.
After waiting for a while, more than 20 Mengchong warships finally entered the narrow waterway. Seeing that the time was ripe, I ordered the soldiers around me to wave their flags and send an attack signal to Hua Xin on the shore.
"Shoot upwards, let it go!" Hua Xin gave the order, and the two thousand soldiers who were ambushing on both sides and waiting for the two thousand bows could no longer hold back. The rockets flew towards the enemy ship crowded in the waterway with a sneer, and the smoke rose up in the middle of the arrow, and the sun was shrouded.
The unprepared armored soldiers on the ship were shot by the fire arrows falling from the sky, and kept screaming, rolling around on the board to try to extinguish the flames on their bodies. Some soldiers who were caught in the arrow rolled into the river, hoping to use water to extinguish the fire.
After being attacked suddenly, the Gan Ning army quickly calmed down after experiencing the initial chaos. The dense rain of arrows on the shore was blocked by long erected shields and heat-resistant shipboards soaked in cowhide oil. Hua Xin only injured more than a hundred soldiers in this round of rocket attack, but failed to injure the strength of the Gan Ning army.
At this time, the soldiers on the Mengchong giant ship also began to resurrect with powerful crossbows. The fighting ships that were covering the side were scattered, and the watermen on the ship protected them with shields and began to approach the shore.
The battle has just begun.
Looking at the approaching enemy soldiers, I felt secretly happy.
As expected, Gan Ning was obviously angry by this wave of surprise attacks, and the invincible Jinfan Navy could not tolerate any provocation.
What's more, a sneak attack.
After the fight ships that served as cover attacks, Mengchong lacks the necessary protection, and our army can concentrate its forces to get close to the enemy giant ships.
The enemy ships searched are getting closer and closer, and the best time to attack has come.
I grabbed the short halberd in my hand, and the tip of the halberd was in the direction of Meng Chong's docking, and shouted: "Crush!" Ten small boats behind me shot out like arrows, and the light boat swept across the undulating river surface. Wherever the boat was passing, there were bursts of spiraling water flow.
My boat rushed in front, and each of the ten boats had 50 elite soldiers: twenty people paddling and sailing, thirty people were covered with armor, holding sharp blades in their hands, and not avoiding arrows and stones.
These ten small boats were temporarily seized by Liu Pan and Pan on the same day. Compared with Ganning's huge fleet, they were like ants shaking trees and mantised chariots, but they were all the possessions of Pengze's naval army. Most of the remaining ships were temporarily recruited fishing boats, so they should not be of great use.
In front are two scout ships that we found out about our intentions and came over to intercept them. The two ships intertwine, one on the left and one on the right, attacking each other on the left and the other on the right.
"Come on!" I shouted.
If you dodge at this time, your morale will be exhausted. The key to raiding is to work hard and strive to the end.
When the two armies met, the brave ones won. I raised my halberd to block the hook that was stretched out from the enemy ship. Then I hung the enemy hook at the tip of the halberd and pulled it hard. The enemy soldier couldn't bear it and fell into the river with one of them.
Five or six enemy soldiers jumped over on the enemy ship on the left and fought with our army. I firmly clenched my body and flashed through the sword force of an enemy soldier coming towards me. The halberd suddenly started, and a flipped overturned the enemy soldiers onto the ship. Blood was like red rain, dripping on the deck of the ship, slowly gathering into blood and dripping into the cabin. The enemy soldier screamed, and his empty left hand tightly covered his abdomen. I had already stabbed a big hole there, and the blood was flowing like water, and he was almost gone.
I was murderous and shouted: "Run over!"
Time passes by minute by minute, and I cannot get too entangled with the enemy scout ship. I must arrive under Damon as soon as possible, so that the fire attack strategy can be successful. If a little bit of a burden is wrong, and when Gan Ning comes to his senses, he only needs to surround my ten ships from all directions, and our army will undoubtedly be defeated.
As I tried hard to break the encircled enemy ships, I took the lead in opening the way. The other nine ships behind me lined up in conical charge formations and rushed straight towards the Mengchong giant ship more than a hundred feet away.
There were constant enemy scouts on both sides, and the fighting ships approached to fight. The two ships on the edge of the periphery were slightly slower and were entangled by the enemy and were trapped in a siege and unable to escape. But at this moment, I no longer had time to care about the lives and deaths of the soldiers on these two ships.
It's approaching, five feet...
Three zhang...
"Immediately!" I shouted. As long as I light the fuel and firewood piled on the bow of the ship, and with the help of the fierce north wind, the fire will inevitably spread to the entire fleet.
Suddenly, a row of arrows shot from Meng Chong's ship. Our soldiers, who were busy lighting the fire, could not dodge and fell down one after another.
Seeing this, I was furious, and I leaped up to the point.
In the air, two long spears in front were flipped over. I twisted my waist and pulled it with the flow. The two enemy soldiers couldn't stand it and got used to getting off the bow of the boat. I used the power to jump onto the bow of the boat. When the enemy soldiers saw me getting on the boat, they didn't care about shooting arrows and surrounded them with sharp blades.
Seeing that I was so brave, the soldiers behind me suddenly had a great morale. The sword-armored soldiers also walked up the edge of the ship and fought with the enemy soldiers on Meng Chong's ship.
The dry firewood and fuel made a "crackling" sound, and the fire finally started to ignite. In the raging fire, the oil-soaked boat plates finally couldn't help burning after being burned in a continuous high temperature. The Mengchong ship was filled with smoke and fire. The masts supporting the sails were burning, making a squeaking sound. The soldiers on the ship saw the fierce fire and dived to search for the boat to escape.
The sails burned in the fire, and the wind helped the fire. In a moment, more than half of the more than ten crowded ships in Mengchong were on fire. Seeing that the fire was uncontrollable, most of the enemy soldiers moved to the fighting ships. At this time, several warships had already surrounded us.
The enemy is going to make the last bet.
Through the heavy smoke, I saw more than ten enemy ships coming quickly on the river not far away. A general at the forefront was tall and strong, carrying a crescent halberd in his hand and wearing armor. He stood at the bow of the ship like a god.
A warship on our side leaned forward and was about to fight, but the general jumped over three feet away. After the halberd, five or six soldiers were immediately taken to the river.
The other soldiers were very frightened, and in fear, they all threw down their warships and jumped into the river.
"Gan Ning!" I felt a move in my heart when I saw that the general was so brave.
Looking at Gan Ning's majesty and momentum, my intuition told me that the real duel has begun.
I went up to it. This was the final decisive battle, the warriors' battle.
If you rely on the majority of people and rely on sacrificing the lives of your soldiers to win more, even if you win, it will not be very glorious, and Gan Ning will not be convinced.
In the battle just now, the two armies were in harmony, and they focused on strategic strategies, sneak attacks, luring the enemy, and intercepting them were all one of the strategies of military strategy. It should be all right. Now, it is a duel between two people.
I grabbed the halberd and pointed at Gan Ning. While showing my respect, I also made a one-on-one battle letter.
Gan Ning had killed the tiger's eyes and his body was covered with bright red blood. The halberd technique in his hand was circling towards me. When he got closer, he shouted: "But Gao Chong?"
I exhaled in a deep voice, penetrated the body of the halberd, and used force to break Gan Ning's thrust with all his strength, and said, "That's it!"
Just on this river with boats and fires flying across the sky, Gan Ning and I were like two peerless masters, knights in the world, fighting with the agility of body movements, sharp weapons in our hands and thousands of murderous auras.
This battle is extremely unfavorable to me.
Although I think I can still make a big splash in the water, when comparing with Jinfan Ganning, I am not Ganning’s opponents.
So, after blocking Gan Ning's first wave of offensive, I made a quick decision and retreated.
Retreat quickly toward the shore and reef.
Only when I get on the shore can I display the power of the halberd move.
Gan Ning stepped on the broken boat board and chased after me. I didn't look back because after hesitation, the sharp blade of the Crescent Hyperbola might pierce straight into my back.
I walked on the waves and avoided Gan Ning's long halberd sideways. The halberds were styling and pricked Gan Ning's lower abdomen. Gan Ning was also very good. He shut up his body with a thousand pounds and closed the key points. The two of us immediately fought on the reef and beach.
Gan Ning was defeated by my fire attack plan just now. How could this breath come out? In shock and anger, his combat power almost reached an amazing level. Gan Ning's halberd technique was quick and fierce, and he was going strong all the way. Just now, I was taken the lead by his three halberds and had to retreat continuously. Within ten rounds, I was at a disadvantage.
In fact, Gan Ning's halberd technique is not fancy, and every move is simple and unpretentious, but it is extremely sharp between attacking and defending Zhang Chi. No matter how my short halberd changes, Gan Ning's Crescent halberd always responds calmly with its own rhythm and responds to all changes with unchanging conditions. This is the essence of the halberd technique, and Gan Ning has already mastered it.
Taishici has superb martial arts, and Sun Ce has an invincible domineering spirit as thunderous.
Compared to them, Gan Ning is like a natural god of war. When fighting against him, I can feel the infinite fighting spirit emitted from his whole body.
If I delay like this, I will lose to Gan Ning after twenty rounds.
Seeing Gan Ning so brave, I admire each other more deeply.
The two armies were still fighting in a melee on the river. Relying on their superiority in military strength, the enemy surrounded our assault fleet in the core. The trapped soldiers of our army faced each other with a radius, with tight defense and proper formation, so the enemy could not attack for a while. Hua Xin's troops on the shore were fighting against the enemy soldiers who had landed on the shore, and the Pengzekou Waterway was full of battle killing sites.
The sun had already lost its light, and there was a chaotic and dark red light in the battlefield. All the weapons were trembling excitedly, asking the servants to sacrifice more blood. The soldiers no longer had consciousness, and only had the stubborn light of inspiration. They mechanically waved their arms, chopped, slashed, and stabbed, and everything else seemed to be no longer remembered.
The broken limbs flew in the air, and the fierce fighting spirit rushed into the sky. The spear tip pierced into the chest, the blade passed through the neck, and the arrow penetrated the throat. The soldiers who fell off the boat could only watch the river water not exceeding their heads. At this time, no one cared about them, whether they were comrades or enemies, they had been eliminated.
This battle was killed from early morning until noon. The surface of Pengzekou River was blood red, and corpses floated across the river, and the soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The situation of confrontation was finally broken, and the Xu Jing army stationed at Pengze Ferry appeared at the most critical moment, and the last bit of fighting spirit of the enemy was finally destroyed.
Gan Ning was tripped by me and fought with him. The enemy army had no leader and his morale was low. Seeing that our army was coming, they abandoned their swords and guns to surrender. Only the fleet was on Gan Ning's commanding ship, and there were still soldiers who refused to surrender and fought to the death to defend. They were Gan Ning's personal soldiers, Jinyiwei.
The sound of hissing gradually subsided. I swung my halberd, swept the Gan Ning Tooth Sphur, and shouted: "I heard that Gan Xingba was refreshed and looked down on his wealth and respected his soldiers. My subordinates were happy to use their lives. Now that our army's victory has been decided, why did you still do it in vain!"
Gan Ning said angrily: "Gao Chong's son, secretly used tricks to burn me on a boat and kill my own soldiers. How could I let go of you!"
I laughed and said, "I am the captain of Yuzhang. It is my important responsibility to protect the territory and protect the people. It is natural to defeat the enemies who have violated our territory. When two armies fight, the key is to use strategies and win by strategies. The ancients admire it. What's wrong with it? Besides, you are brave and arrogant, underestimate the enemy and advance, and cause great defeat. Who will blame you? This defeat is because you believe in Huang Zu's slander, offend me for no reason, and disturb my people's retribution, so the gods will not forgive you!"
