After hearing Gan Ning's words, Jia Xu couldn't help but show a smile, and he didn't respond to Gan Ning for a long time.He just walked straight out of the cabin, walked to the deck in the ship, looked at the sky in the distance, and watched quietly.And Gan Ning has been following Jia Xu closely, and it can be said that he doesn't fall behind half a step, but seeing that Jia Xu didn't say anything for a long time, Gan Ning was so anxious that he wanted to go crazy.Looking at Jia Xu again, I don't know if I deliberately closed my ears or if there was something serious, especially when I saw Jia Xu's serious look looking at the sky in the distance, Gan Ning was embarrassed to disturb.Seeing that Gan Ning was in no hurry, Jia Xu suddenly turned around and smiled at Gan Ning: "General Gan Ning must not be able to wait, and I hope that General Gan Ning will tell the soldiers below that this time Jia Xu will let the army stay here must be this intention."
Although General Gan Ning is brave and brave, he also believes that the soldiers of the Yinglong Water Army under his command are all brave and extraordinary.Even if there may be an enemy in ambush ahead, he is not afraid and wants to charge through it in one fell swoop. ”"But General Gan Ning should know one thing, since ancient times, the art of war has been cloudy, the first army is to fight, the second is to fight, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city, and the method of attacking the city is a last resort.If we are engaged in a war between the enemy and our army, if we want to win, we must give twice as many troops as the enemy in order to be able to carry out a strong attack.Otherwise, even if a large number of soldiers and horses are consumed, it will not be able to break through the enemy's defense, of course, if it is aimed at some defeated troops, it will be self-evident. ”"When a large army is attacking a city on the ground, it needs more than twice as many troops to win.And most of them are with the help of some siege equipment, or to give powerful weapons and materials as a response aid, but our army is above the water.If we want to break through the enemy ambush in front of us, we will have to take a blow, and we will not be able to counterattack the enemy's fortifications with the help of siege engines as we do on the ground. ”"Although Wei and Shu were defeated one after another, I believe that Zhou Yu of Wu must have realized that he will definitely set up a heavy garrison in front, and he will definitely not let my navy simply pass through this place.In particular, the navy is the elite soldiers of the Wu State, and its combat effectiveness is definitely not worse than the Cao army's tiger and leopard cavalry on the ground, and the combat effectiveness of the Shu army's Bai Wei soldiers.If General Gan Ning forcibly passed this, he might be able to pass it after some sacrifice, but did General Gan Ning take into account the subsequent casualties and losses" "Water warfare does not have to engage on the ground, especially water warfare siege, I am afraid that at least three or even five times more than the enemy's strength can be more victorious.Otherwise, the entire loss is absolutely incalculable, if General Gan Ning doesn't care about the life and death of the soldiers, then Jia Xu will not stop the general.It's just that Jia Xu is worried that with the prestige of General Gan Ning's Five Tigers, if he is planted in the hands of the Wu army here this time, even if General Gan Ning leads the rest of the soldiers and horses to join His Majesty, how can he think that he will not be praised by His Majesty. ”"This" After hearing Jia Xu's words, Gan Ning couldn't help frowning and was stunned, in Gan Ning's opinion, he didn't think so much at all.The Ying Long Naval Army, which has always thought that he is himself, is very powerful, even in the face of Wu Guo's naval army, Gan Ning has the confidence to rush over in one fell swoop.However, as Jia Xu just said, since ancient times, the art of war has been cloudy, the first army is to attack and strategize, then to attack the enemy, and then to attack the army, and the method of attacking the city is a last resort.These are the eternal truths, even if Gan Ning is very confident in his naval division this time, but if he directly attacks and forcibly breaks through the enemy's naval defense line, casualties and losses are indispensable.If it is a small loss, then Gan Ning can still accept it, but if the first breakthrough fails, and the result is a heavy loss, the consequences will be unimaginable.Failure is a trivial matter, and it is a big deal to respond to the defeat caused by the first battle of the Dragon Water Army, resulting in the damage to the prestige.In this way, even if you meet Your Majesty in the future and join up with the army, the Yinglong Water Army, which is not easy to build, will be defeated like this, and I am afraid that when the decisive battle with the army of Wei Shu and Wu is decisive, the morale will also be seriously affected.After the impact of this battle, in the future, his Yinglong Water Army will have no chance to stand out in the entire Zhao State, or even among the soldiers and horses in the whole world.It will be difficult to maintain his position as the commander of the naval army, and I am afraid that even the name of the Jinfan thief will be spurned.After listening to Jia Xu's words, Gan Ning couldn't help but say in frustration: "Then since you can't break through this time, why do you have to let Gan Ning lead Yinglong's water army to walk on this road before, if you go around the long road before, although the formation is slower, at least the whole process is very safe, you can keep moving forward, and you don't have to stay here like now." ”Facing Gan Ning's somewhat reproachful words, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile at him, and then said: "General Gan Ning also said just now that if you walk from another waterway, the whole trip will be delayed a lot, at least twice the distance.In this way, even if we arrived safe and sound, and joined the alliance with His Majesty's army, it would have been so long.I am afraid that His Majesty's army has already been waiting for a long time, and the morale of all the troops has been lost. ”Jia Xu's words made Gan Ning frown again and said: "Then what should we do, it is difficult to do it here" Jia Xu hurriedly said: "No, no, since Jia Xu let General Gan Ning lead the army to walk this waterway, he must have Jia Xu's intentions."
It's just that the time is not yet ripe today, and we still have to wait for a while, I'm afraid that we can wait until the early hours of the morning.At this time, it was still early, and General Gan Ning could order the soldiers of the three armies to start making food, and when everyone was full of food and drink, all the rest rested except for the guards.By the early hours of the morning, our army would march through the enemy's lines. ”Regarding Jia Xu's words, Gan Ning suddenly looked stunned, and looked incredible, looking at Jia Xu, he didn't seem to believe Jia Xu's words at all, and blurted out: "Now the leading soldiers will start to eat and rest, and they will set off tomorrow morning" It's just that before the words were spoken, Gan Ning stopped, and Gan Ning was following Zhao Yu on the expedition.At that time, it was Guo Jia who was the marching military division, and he also made a similar layout, letting all the troops eat and rest in advance, and then late at night or early in the morning, taking advantage of the darkness, to attack with a thunderous momentum and catch the enemy by surprise.Just when Gan Ning was puzzled, he suddenly heard Jia Xu speak again: "By the way, General Gan Ning can lead a team of soldiers to a nearby place to collect some more reeds and straw, and store them all for tomorrow when we cross the enemy's defense line." ”If Jia Xu's words just now made Gan Ning full of doubts, then this time Jia Xu's order made Gan Ning feel completely in a fog.From Gan Ning's point of view, it is understandable that he is about to cross the enemy's defense line and have friction with the enemy, so that the soldiers are well fed and well-rested.But it was too incomprehensible to let the soldiers collect straw and reeds, Gan Ning couldn't help frowning, and bowed to Jia Xu: "The military advisor ordered the soldiers to eat and drink enough and rest well, needless to say, Gan Ning also understands very well."
But the military advisor asked the soldiers to collect those useless straws and reeds to do anything, it is difficult for us to attack and break through the enemy's naval defense line, and we still need these useless things" Regarding Gan Ning's question, Jia Xu responded with a smile: "General Gan Ning should not underestimate anything that seems to be small, sometimes the more insignificant things are, but the more they can show their incredible side."
Just like these straws and reeds that Jia Xu asked General Gan Ning to send people to collect this time, they must have their wonderful use.Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, these things are useless, but these two things are the best weapons for our army to break through the enemy's defense line in the early hours of tomorrow morning.When the time comes, these things will help me break through the enemy's defense line unharmed. ”After Jia Xu finished speaking, Gan Ning was already dumbfounded, seeing Gan Ning's expression, Jia Xu said to him: "General Gan Ning just rest assured to go, I, Jia Xu, never say a word, if our army can't pass the enemy smoothly tomorrow, rest assured, Jia Xu is willing to bear all the consequences."
At that time, if there is any loss, General Gan Ning only needs to take Jia Xu and go to His Majesty to ask for the guilt. ”Regarding Jia Xu's reassuring words, Gan Ning didn't take it to heart at all, but said to Jia Xu: "Hmph, since I, Gan Ning, choose to believe you this time, I will definitely take all the responsibilities with all my might."
Even if you make a mistake in command this time, I, Gan Ning, will definitely not shirk my responsibility, this is my Gan Ning's duty.It's just that Gan Ning pinned all the reputation of my Ying Long Water Army in the hands of the military advisor this time, and hoped that the military advisor would definitely grasp it well, and never damage the reputation of my Ying Long Water Army. ”After hearing Gan Ning's words, Jia Xu couldn't help but nodded approvingly at Gan Ning, no matter what, Jia Xu could clearly feel the sincerity of Gan Ning's words from Gan Ning's demeanor.Jia Xu also believes that with Gan Ning's character, he will also do what he says, and he will definitely not be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.Immediately, Jia Xu arched his hand at Gan Ning again and said: "Thank you General Gan Ning for your trust, you are worthy of Your Majesty's Five Tiger Generals, and my words are really admired by Jia Xu." ”"I also ask General Gan Ning to believe that this time, since I, Jia Xu, have surrendered to the Zhao army, and have been assigned by His Majesty to assist General Gan Ning and Ying Long's army.This is my Jia Xu, the first battle after joining the Zhao army, Jia Xu will definitely not let General Gan Ning down, nor will he damage his prestige, this time Jia Xu is bound to win. ”:
