Chapter 309: A piece of red, like a broken bamboo, asking for a monthly pass)(1/2)
Chapter 309: A piece of red and unstoppable (first update, please give me a monthly vote)
With the merger of Pang Tong and Huang Zhong, the deterrent force brought by the 28,000 army almost attracted the attention of the people all over the world.
It also attracted the attention of the strongest force in Jiangdong, the 20,000 troops of Yuzhang led by Zhou Yu.
The navy in Jiangdong is very strong, which is known to everyone in the world. Almost no prince can easily break through the Jiangdong defense and go deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong.
Cao*** cannot do it, and Liu Biao cannot do it. Many people think that Liu Feng's navy can't do it either.
The battle between the army is the most dazzling.
Just as the senior executives of the Jiangdong forces turned their attention to Yuzhang, Liu Feng's navy set out quietly.
Xiakou Ferry.
Fifty ships gathered in the rivers, and Gan Ning planned to lead his army to break through the defense of the Jiangdong Navy, the world's largest naval army, drive the army to the hinterland of Jiangdong, and burn the war into major cities in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
There were an average of 120 soldiers stationed in fifty ships, and half of these soldiers were archers. The biggest method of water battle was bows and arrows.
But these archers are not pure archers. They can still fight with weapons.
One hundred strokes were hit by one hundred and one hundred people holding a complete version of the Chu sword, which made their combat effectiveness soar.
The rest are 100 recruited foot strengths. Each ship has fifty pedal positions, and one hundred people can be divided into two shifts to ensure the speed of the ship.
One of the fifty ships was standing on the deck of the ship with the "Gan" flag. Gan Ning was standing on the murderous intent.
He was wearing golden armor, with a Chu sword hanging around his waist, a big bow in his hand, and a quiver on his back. Gan Ning, who was fully armed, was murderous intent, and Ling Lie looked at Jiangdong with incomparable determination.
When Zhou Yu attacked, the Jiangdong Navy suppressed the Jiangxia Navy with absolute strength, forcing Gan Ning to hide in Xiakou City, watching the Jiangdong Navy show its might and domineering in the waters of Jingzhou.
Gan Ning is not a person with a gentle personality and hates fighting. On the contrary, Gan Ning has a relatively irritable personality and is brave and fierce.
After making a turtle with his head-reducing turtle, Gan Ning had long hated the navy troops in Jiangdong.
Now, his army has fast warships and steamships that can break through the Jiangdong Camp. With the full of lethality, it can attack the Chu Dao of Jiangdong Camp.
It can be said that all the conditions are met.
Washing away the shame, this time.
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and Gan Ning shouted: "Go away and loot Jiangdong."
"Aoah."
The clamor without giving orders, the howlings of the soldiers responded together were the best luck to start a war.
The naval elements of Ganning were very mixed, including water thieves, Jinfan thieves, and the original Jiangxia army.
The water thief and the Jinfan thief are brave and fierce. It turns out that Jiangxia's army also has an indescribable hatred towards Jiangdong. Last time, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led the navy to rush to Jingchu.
Gan Ning was frustrated, and they were frustrated too.
There was an extraordinary excitement in the howling.
At first, only one hundred and twenty soldiers on a ship in Gan Ning were howling, but in the end they became 6,000 soldiers roared together.
The war has not yet begun, but the momentum of the navy has risen.
With the roars, the fifty feet in the ship roared together and stepped on the pedals with all their might. With the force of their feet, the outer paddle wheels of the fifty ships slowly moved, and after a simple acceleration, the speed immediately increased.
He sailed towards Jiangdong like a flying.
"It's really an arrow-like speed." Gan Ning couldn't help but sigh when he felt the speed of the paddle steamer again.
I have even more confidence in my heart. With such a warship, it is too easy to break through the river defense.
Fifty ships set out from Xiakou and to Jiujiang are all waters controlled by Liu Feng. This section of the road is relatively easy. After spending a day to reach the vicinity of Jiujiang, Gan Ning became much more cautious, but being cautious does not mean the decreasing speed, but the rising speed is the rising speed.
Speed is the advantage. Only by relying on speed can we break through the first line of defense set up by Sun Quan in Hukou.
It was already late at this moment. But in the sky, the bright moon was hanging high, and the visibility was very high.
In the boat, fifty people's feet were rising naked, their arms holding the handle in front burst out with blue veins, and their feet were rotating at a very fast frequency.
The strong sound of breathing and the strong smell of sweat filled the boat. The speed of the boat depends entirely on the strength of the feet. If the strength of the feet is strong, the speed of the boat is unlimited.
And now these fifty people have reached the limit they can reach.
With the 50 footsteps, the fifty ships really sailed towards Jiangdong. Soon, under the lights, the very transparent Jiangdong Hukou Ferry appeared in front.
Hukou Ferry was originally the defense line that Jiang Qin was responsible for, and it was the first line of defense against Jiangxia. There were originally 5,000 defenders.
However, Jiang Qin was sent to the sea by Sun Quan to find the remaining fifty sea ships of Liu Feng. So the number of people is only 4,000 now.
The temporarily responsible general is Hong Cheng, who is in his thirties, has a fair face, has a thorny beard, and is quite majestic.
Jiang Qin was Sun Ce's old general and started his career during the Sun Ce period. Hong Cheng followed Jiang Qin from that time to now and has been Jiang Qin's deputy.
Since Jiang Qin led his troops to leave, Hong Chengdu has been paying close attention to Jiangxia's situation.
Especially when Pang Tong and Huang Zhong were already at the gate of the city, Hong Cheng became even more cautious. He was always diligent, afraid that Liu Feng's navy would break through the river defense and rush into the hinterland of Jiangdong.
The navy in Jiangdong is very strong, not a single navy. Instead, the infantry in Jiangdong can become a navy with a little training.
It will take at least a few years for northerners to adapt to water wars. This is the unique advantage of Jiangdong.
But now Zhou Yu led 20,000 people to confront Pang Tong under Yuzhang City. Now the navy in Jiangdong is only within normal range, with 5,000 people at Hukou, the first line of defense.
There are other ferries such as Sanshan, Hengjiang, Liyang, Qu'a, etc., which are stationed in thousands or more people, or more than a thousand people. The total number is only 10,000 or 20,000 people.
There are 6,000 people in Jiangxia and Ganning. If he breaks through the first line of defense, the next line of defense will be dangerous.
Therefore, Hong Cheng was cautious and had to be cautious.
During the day, I inspect the river defense every two hours, and at night I have to inspect the river defense three times. Only after the inspection every day can Hong Cheng go to bed with peace of mind.
In the general's mansion next to the prefect's mansion, Hong Cheng sat in the hall with a little tired look.
He had just returned from patrolling the ferry.
It was really hard to protect such a large ferry alone. While breathing a long breath, Hong Cheng couldn't help but admire Jiang Qin.
Although he was doing the same thing, the man never showed any fatigue.
Hong Cheng didn't know that the man he admired had become a prisoner and was now under house arrest in Taiwan.
But the next moment, Hong Cheng jumped up and rushed to the water camp in a hurry. Because the soldiers in charge of watching found dozens of warships appeared in the distance on the river.
In addition, the soldiers who were watching made a quick decision and sounded the trumpet. Different naval forces, because of the special nature of water war, some soldiers would be left to watch at night, which would temporarily intercept the enemy.
With Hong Cheng's order, the gate of the water village was immediately opened.
Five warships in the water village immediately sailed out of the water village.
According to the usual situation, when soldiers discover the enemy, they only need a little time to go to their own warships to break out of the water camp.
It will definitely be able to intercept the opponent, and even if it is not good, it can still follow and kill.
But when the five warships came out, the soldiers on the ship could only see the tails of Gan Ning's fifty warships. No, they could only see some black spots, which quickly disappeared from their sight.
When Hong Cheng arrived and at the first moment he was confused about the elite soldiers in the ferry and broke out of the water camp, he saw five of his own warships parked in the river.
At the bow of the boat, Hong Cheng said furiously: "Where is the person?"
"Let's go far." A military marquis was in charge of the five warships, and he replied blankly.
"Why not chase?" Hong Cheng's voice rose three points, his eyes almost ignited.
Amid Hong Cheng's repeated sharp screams, the Junhou finally came back to his senses and realized what was going on.
They actually watched dozens of warships roar by. You know, they were left with a large blank area, without defense, without naval troops.
The enemy can raged.
How many people can dozens of warships take? Five thousand or ten thousand? It is possible.
As soon as he thought that he might let ten thousand people go, Junhou immediately turned pale. He explained anxiously: "General, misunderstanding, General, it's not a small mistake, but their speed is too fast. It whistled past in almost the blink of an eye. The little one entered the Yangtze River for more than ten years and had never seen a warship that was as fast as we were. It was almost twice as fast as ours."
The Junhou was eager to shirk responsibility, and what he said was basically true. But what he did was too incredible.
New warships may have some advantages in speed, but where can they be more than twice?
"Quote, the person who came to tie this guy up to me. The rest of the guy followed me to chase him." Hong Cheng believed in his heart that this guy was shivering responsibility. He was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted.
Lead the warships to pursue them immediately.
Hong Cheng was lucky and hoped to follow him. As long as the enemy warship stopped, he could stop the enemy from continuing to advance eastward.
To avoid causing major damage.
But what made Hong Cheng's brothers and sisters cold was that they chased after nearly an hour. The soldiers in charge of rocking the pulp almost changed and still could not see the enemy warships.
Is it really twice the speed or twice the speed?
If it were put before, I would not believe that Hong Chengdu would be killed. There are new warships in the world that are superior to Jiangdong warships in terms of function.
But now the facts are in front of Hong Cheng, and Hong Cheng cannot believe them.
There are unclear numbers, and an army of about 5,000 to 10,000 people broke through the Hukou Ferry and marched into Jiangdong Mansion.
Oh my God, what exactly happened.
The warship goes down the water, and it is already very fast. If the enemy has one or two times the speed of its own, it will be even faster. Maybe it is not even as good as the war horses.
To be continued...
