- It was past noon, and the sky above Xiakou City was covered with clouds.
Yan Liang stood at the top of the city, overlooking the scenery outside the city.
In the Han River Water Camp on the west bank and the Yangtze River Water Camp on the south bank, hundreds of warships are hidden in the villages. Four thousand naval soldiers have been arranged in the two villages in an orderly manner, and the strong bows and hard crossbows have been cocked.
In the dry camp on the shore, more than ten thousand infantry soldiers, led by Wen Chou, were all ready.
The 3,000 naval troops led by Gan Ning have already gone up the river. All Yan Liang can do at this moment is to hold on to Xiakou City and wait for news of the water battle upstream.
If the Gan-Ning Water Battle fails, Yan Liang will have to fight an unequal offensive and defensive battle with Huang Zu without losing the right to control the water.
The victorious Huang Zu navy could directly enter the Han River and harass the rear areas wantonly. Soldiers and horses could even land ashore at any time to cut off the food road from Xinye to Xiakou.
The fierce battle at that time will definitely be a painful persistence.
Of course Yan Liang did not want to see that scene, and he was convinced that his general Gan Ning would never allow that to happen.
The wind picked up and the city became colder. The soldiers who were accustomed to the weather in Jingbei couldn't help but shudder.
Yan Liang also subconsciously tightened his armor, and his eyes moved from near to far, extending to the endless rolling Yangtze River upstream.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and Xu You reached the top of the city.
"Huang Zu is no better than Cai Mao. He can't even do anything to the Sun family in Jiangdong. Does my lord really intend to let Gan Ning take the initiative to attack?"
Xu You¡¯s teeth were knotted in the cold, and there was a bit of worry in his words.
Yan Liang only said lightly: "The best defense is offense. Since Xingba has this confidence, how can I not let him go."
Xu You frowned, the worry on his face only getting worse.
After a pause, he continued: "Xingba's water battle is indeed great, but since we are going to fight Huang Zu head-on this time, we should use all the navy troops, but why did Xingba only bring three thousand soldiers? Moreover, the warships are all small ships, and there is not even a fighting ship. This is too much. "
Yan Liang¡¯s mouth moved slightly. Xu You¡¯s concerns had never occurred to Yan Liang.
In the previous series of water battles in Xiangyang, although Gan Ning also defeated the majority with less, he still used all his navy assets and fought to the death with Cai Mao at the risk of his life. \\yd \\
But this time. Facing the more powerful opponent Huang Zu, Gan Ning instead used fewer troops than before.
Such behavior. It really goes against the art of war.
Although Yan Liang has doubts. But he believes in the concept of employing people without questioning them, and believes that Gan Ning must have a reason for doing this.
Therefore, when Gan Ning made such a request when he sent troops earlier, Yan Liang agreed to it on the spot without blinking an eye.
Now Xu You mentioned this matter. But how could he not touch Yan Liang's mind.
After only a moment of pause, a heroic smile appeared on Yan Liang's face.
"Xingba has already used his military exploits to prove the strength of his naval force. Today, even if he has to single-handedly challenge Huang Zu's tens of thousands of troops. I absolutely believe that he is sure of victory. Mr. Ziyuan no longer needs to worry, just go with it." I will enjoy the scenery here and wait for the good news about Xingba."
This sentence is full of confidence, as if everything is under control.
Xu You couldn't help but feel shocked, deeply affected by Yan Liang's confidence in his own judgment.
"I have followed my lord so far. He has always used people to their advantage. He has never made a miscalculation. How could he be wrong this time? That's all. Why should I worry about myself anymore."
With this in mind, Xu You put down the worries in his heart, just cheered up and waited for the outcome of the battle.
Yan Liang looked to the west in the distance, but he thought to himself: "Xingba, Xingba, you have never disappointed me. I believe you will not do it this time."
¡¡
The river wind swept across the shore, and the dense reeds made a rustling sound, which was soon submerged in the sound of the waves.
Gan Ning lay on the bow deck of the ship, pushing aside the reeds, his eyes condensed into a single line, and he scanned the west.
On the vast stretch of river, except for one or two fishing boats that occasionally passed by, there was no trace of any ship.
From early morning to afternoon, for half a day, there was still no sign of Huang Zujun.
Gan Ning could feel that a certain anxiety had begun to spread among the soldiers behind him.
As time passed by, the anxious mood became more and more intense.
Only Gan Ning remained as calm as a stone, and there was no sign of any worry on his part.
The commander-in-chief¡¯sThe silence calmed down the mood of the soldiers a little.
I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but as the sun was setting in the west, Gan Ning, who had been as calm as water, suddenly moved his eyes, as if he had noticed something strange.
That knife-edge gaze looked far into the distance, vaguely seeming to see the vast dark clouds approaching slowly against the Yangtze River.
The dark cloud was moving very fast, and was one mile away in just a moment.
Gan Ning's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it, Huang Zu, you old bastard, you kept me waiting for a long time."
The dark clouds were nothing but the shadow of a sail covering the sky.
Looking to the west, I saw hundreds of large and small warships on the wide river, moving down the river in a mighty manner. There were so many warships that it was impossible to see the end at a glance.
On the huge fighting ship in the center, the "yellow" flag is flying high.
This fleet is the strongest Jiangxia navy in Jingzhou.
On the bow of the ship, Huang Zu was wearing armor and holding his sword, looking proudly and coldly ahead, his eyes flashing with anger and urgency.
After learning about the fall of Xiakou and seeing the letter of surrender from his son Huang She, the angry Huang Zu led 25,000 elite Jiangxia naval forces and more than a thousand warships, day and night. He went eastward with the current, heading towards his lair.
Those Jiangxia soldiers were equally angry and anxious as their commander. Their wives and children had fallen into enemy hands. They wished they could fly back to Xiakou and take back their hometown.
This mighty fleet, almost at the speed of full sails and full oars, coupled with the momentum of the current, flew towards Xiakou.
Although the oncoming force is fierce, it is a bit too urgent.
What Gan Ning wanted was Huang Zu's urgency. This was also the purpose of Yan Liang forcing Huang She to write the letter of surrender, in order to anger Huang Zu.
Not long after, the mighty Jiangxia naval forces passed by one after another. These Jiangxia troops, who were eager to return eastward, were completely unaware that among the reeds on both sides of the bank, an enemy force was quietly hiding among them. under his nose.
Huang Zu, who was eager to recapture Xiakou, only focused on speeding along the current. There was no time to send out sentry ships to conduct reconnaissance first.
In Huang Zu¡¯s view, Yan Liang¡¯s sneak attack on Xiakou was just a lucky trick. At this moment, Yan Liang should be gathering his poor navy, standing with his back to the city, waiting for the attack of his powerful navy.
Huang Zu never thought that Yan Liang would send troops contrary to common sense. A naval army of 3,000 men was sent to fight him.
¡° Moreover, he was passing by this navy at this moment. But he didn't realize it.
Gan Ning silently watched the passing enemy ships one after another. Finally, he arrived at the giant ship.
Where the handsome flag is, it must be Huang Zu¡¯s flagship.
The time is right now.
"Send the signal quickly and attack with the whole army!"
Gan Ning keenly seized the moment and jumped up from the ground.
The order was passed, and the soldiers were waiting on the shore. Quickly ignite the three beacon smokes that had been prepared.
Thick black smoke rising into the sky was a signal for war.
Both sides of the Yangtze River. Three thousand soldiers hiding in the reeds saw the signal rising into the sky at the same time. The anxiety in their hearts was replaced by boiling blood in an instant.
Accompanied by the "swish" sounds one after another, the sailors of the Yan Jiajun quickly lifted off the reeds covering the hull.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of yells rose up like angry waves. One after another, dinghy ships sprang out from the reeds, tearing off their camouflage and revealing their ferocious fangs. Like ferocious sharks, they charged towards the unaware people. The enemy fleet rushed towards him.
More than two hundred ships rushed out from both sides of the bank and crashed into the waist of the entire Jiangxia navy.
The stern ship where Gan Ning was on took the lead and headed straight for Huang Zu's flagship.
Huang Zu, who was fully focused on the front of the fleet, and most of the Jiangxia soldiers did not expect that there would be an ambush hidden in the reeds.
Even when thick black smoke rose from the shore, they only thought it was local farmers burning orange stalks. It was not until the enemy ships approached more than 200 paces that anyone noticed the sudden rise. mutation.
"No, the enemy ship is coming from the flank!"
"There is an enemy ambush hidden in the reeds, and we are ambushed!"
¡¡
The soldiers quickly screamed, and Huang Zu, who was alarmed, turned to look at both sides of the bank.
When Huang Zu saw the rapidly approaching enemy ship clearly, he was stunned and stunned, as if??I saw the most incredible thing in the world.
"That fellow Yan Liang actually hid an ambush in the reeds. What's worse, I was so anxious that I neglected my reconnaissance."
Shocked, Huang Zu tried his best to calm down and shouted: "The bandits are few in number, so don't panic. Each ship immediately adjusted its direction and fired hard at me with strong bows and crossbows. Don't let the enemy crash into the formation." middle."
The flag on the flagship waved rapidly, and the warships moving at full speed had to change their direction with difficulty, trying to turn their bows to meet the sudden ambush.
Although there was a slight commotion among the fighting ships, they did not lose their position. When they turned to change their formations, arrows were directed toward the incoming enemy like raindrops.
Huang Zu is worthy of being a veteran of battles. He could see at a glance the weakness of Yan Liangjun's lack of ambushes. He believed that as long as the formation was not chaotic, the enemy would be difficult to defeat.
"Hmph, Yan Liang, do you think you can defeat my huge navy with such a small trick? It's really ridiculous."
Huang Zu quickly regained his confidence and secretly laughed in his heart.
But his confidence only lasted for a moment, and his old eyes were filled with shock in the blink of an eye.
The sudden ambush of Yan's army did not try to cut off his navy in order to disrupt his formation, as he thought.
The enemy troops rushing one after another were facing the rain of arrows like locusts, rushing towards the same target.
The flagship is his flagship.
The enemy wants to capture the thief first and capture the king first!
The fastest ship rushed forward, cut through the waves, and bravely faced the rain of arrows.
Gan Ning stood proudly on the bow of the boat, using his halberds to easily deflect the incoming arrows, with a ferocious sneer on his face. - Didn't finish reading?
