Chapter 552: First Water Battle


On the banks of the Hanshui River, the river flows eastward, and the waves are rolling.

The riverside is densely covered with circular tents.

A big banner with the word "Yan" fluttered in the wind.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang, Tai Shici, Yan Liang and others will stand surrounded by Gongsun Bai and horses, looking at the misty river.

On the other side of the river is the seat of Jingzhou, and it is also the capital of the Southern Han Kingdom, Xiangyang, and a rolling Han River is like a moat in front of the Yan army.

Rao is invincible Yan army's iron cavalry swept the world, and Rao is a good general under Gongsun Bai's thousands of soldiers and strategists, but before the arrival of Gan Ning's Tengjiao army, he could only look at Jiang Xing and sigh.

It is a boat in the south and a horse in the north.

In the south, the rivers and lakes are crisscrossed, and there is no strong bridge for future generations, it is destined to be the king of water warfare, even if you are invincible in the Central Plains of the Prancing Horse, you can only stop in front of the river.

The reason why Liu Biao, Liu Bei and others dared to face the pressure of Gongsun Baida's army and remained calm was to rely on the benefits of the navy.

Otherwise, with the little strength of Jingzhou, Gongsun Bai only needs 30,000 iron cavalry to be less Jingzhou.

Cao Cao in history was defeated in the Battle of Chibi, ostensibly because of Zhou Yu's fire plan, but the deep-seated reason was because the northern soldiers were not accustomed to water warfare.

Otherwise, with Cao Cao's shrewdness, how could he not know the danger of the serial plan, it was only because the northern soldiers stood on the boat with weak feet and dizzy eyes, let alone fighting, so they had to take the risk of using the serial plan to make Zhou Yu's fire plan succeed.

On the river, fighting ships and ships shuttled back and forth, the gongs and drums on the warships were noisy, and the sound of shouting and scolding and laughter kept coming, which was the Jingzhou naval army provoking the Yan soldiers on the north bank.

"Gongsun Bai Xiaoer, dare to go into the water to fight" "Zhao Yun and my son, come and fight with grandpa for three hundred rounds" "Yan Liang dog thief, come and eat grandpa's knife" "Northern Dry Dog, quickly roll back to the Central Plains" The faint shouting and scolding in the river wind became more and more unbearable.

Yan Liang was scolded, grabbed a five-stone iron-tired strong bow, took the bow and arrows, and pulled a full moon.

With a bang, the sharp arrow shot away, heading straight for the ship closest to the riverbank.

The arrow went like thunder, fast and urgent, but the legend was three or four hundred steps away from the river, and the arrow had become the end of the strong crossbow when it hit the side of the ship, and it was blown down by the river wind of the hunting boat.

The Jingzhou soldiers on the ship laughed when they saw this, and ridiculed Yan Liang with wanton remarks, so angry that Yan Liang took the arrow and the bow again.

Pull the iron tire bow to the brim with all his might, intending to make another hard shot.

Boom The bowstring is pulled off.

Yan Liang was angry and anxious, and with the force of his hands, he broke the hundred-tempered iron tire bow.

Viciously thrown on the ground.

Gongsun Bai shook his head and said: "You don't have to be as knowledgeable as the rats in Jingzhou, let him wait for a while, and then clean him up when the Tengjiao army arrives." ” The group evacuated the river bank and retreated to the camp.

On a tall fighting ship in the middle of the Han River, Cai Mao, surrounded by Zhang Yun, Wen Ping, Wei Yan, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, looked at the helpless Yan army on the other side of the river, and couldn't help laughing.

He only sneered, "What if Gongsun Bai has some ability, he crisscrosses the Jiang Han and relies on a powerful naval army."

Gongsun Bai is crazy in the north, if he dares to go south and go deep into the rivers and lakes, how can my Jingzhou Navy be vegetarian.

Thinking that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have always been rampant and boast of being invincible, the result is not that they have planted a heel in the hands of Gongsun Bai and Gongsun Bai is in front of my Jingzhou water army, in addition to retreating from the army, what else can Gongsun Bai do, can Gongsun Bai still jump across the Han River?"

The generals behind him claimed that it was, which made Cai Mao more and more proud.

Where the water meets the Han River, the flag is like a cloud, and Gongsun Bai is leading the crowd to stand by the river, anxiously waiting.

"It's coming," shouted Zhang beside him.

Everyone looked up one after another, only to see that in the sky, a vast dark cloud was slowly approaching the Han River.

The cloud was moving so fast that it was a mile away in a matter of moments.

Gongsun Bai's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, and all the soldiers also cheered.

The dark clouds were none other than the shadows of the sails that obscured the sky.

Looking westward, I saw that on the wide river, hundreds of warships of all sizes were flowing eastward, and there were so many warships that there was no end in sight.

There are all kinds of warships, such as vehicles and ships, flying tiger warships, fighting ships, ships, and boats, which are dazzling.

On the huge car and ship in the center, the big banner with the word "Gan" was fluttering high.

This fleet is the long-awaited Tengjiao Army.

On the banks of the river, drums sounded, horns contended, and the continuous sound of horns sounded above the fleet, in harmony with it, and at the same time, thousands of warships slowly pulled down their sails, anchored and stopped their ships.

In the sound of drums and horns, Gan Ning waited to get off the boat ladder surrounded by a cadre of soldiers and rushed to Emperor Yan.

Tall, wearing a fiery red coat, wearing a splendid battle robe, and a few pheasant feathers on the aluminum helmet on his head, Gan Ning is particularly eye-catching among the officers and soldiers of the navy.

I saw the bells and whistles of the sailors, and bowed to Gongsun Bai: "The last general, Gan Ning, meet Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live forever" Gongsun Bai laughed and helped him up: "Xingba came across the river and lake, and it was hard all the way.

Tomorrow's battle of Hanshui will all be on Xingba's body. ” Gan Ning smiled: "The last general can't wait, and he can't wait to fight immediately." ” The generals also laughed and were fiercely proud.

The plan of the day was decided, the soldiers had a full meal for one night, and the next day, when it was just dawn, Gan Ning led the water army out of the water camp.

Thousands of warships drove out of the water gate in an orderly manner, and no other noise could be heard except for the sound of the slurry hitting the stream one after another, and the sound of the trumpets of the sailors as they exerted their strength.

Although their own warships are thicker than the enemy's army, and their crossbow arrows are stronger than the enemy's, after all, it is the first time that Tengjiao's army has faced the enemy.

These soldiers of the Yan Army all knew that a big battle that might exceed their imagination was about to begin, but their mood was extremely calm, and there was no trace of nervousness, as if everything that was about to start was just a pre-planned exercise.

"In less than a year or two, such a naval army with military discipline and discipline can be trained.

Xingba's ability to govern the army is really extraordinary. ” Standing high on the shore, Gongsun Bai, who watched the sailors fight, secretly admired in his heart.

Under his gaze, more than 1,000 warships and 50,000 officers and soldiers of the navy all sailed out of the water camp, formed an attack formation on the river, and slowly sailed towards the Xiangyang water camp opposite.

Almost at the same time, the enemy water camp on the opposite side also moved, and the faint black dots were moving, and finally converged into a black and oppressive dark cloud, facing Gan Ning's fleet looking north.

It was Cai Mao's navy, an ignorant and fearless general, who came to meet the battle with the courage of a dog.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Gongsun Bai's mouth, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

The wind came from the south, and the direction of the wind was not conducive to the Ganning naval army.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the rising sun was hidden in the clouds, and between the sky and the water, there was a vast gray and white.

The fleets of both sides are tense, and the battle is only in sight.

At this time, Gongsun Bai, who was standing and watching the battle, suddenly felt a trace of coldness on his face.

He subconsciously raised his head, but saw more and more water droplets falling on his face, it turned out to be raining.

It seems that today will not only be a water war, but also a big battle in the rain.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon the beads that broke the thread fell from the dim sky, and the cloak on Gongsun Bai's body was soon wet.

Seeing this, Wu Ming hurriedly ordered his subordinates to fetch oilcloths "Your Majesty, it's raining, be careful of being damaged by the rain."

Zhou Cang's pro-army stepped forward and put on an oilcloth for Gongsun Bai.

Gongsun Bai frowned, ripped off the oilcloth on his body, and threw it in the wind.

The soldiers on the left and right are all in the same place.

Gongsun Bai wiped the rain from his face and said sharply: "The soldiers are fighting in the rain, how can I shelter from the rain alone?"

At this word, the soldiers suddenly disappeared, and all the young faces were instantly occupied by emotion.

The officers and soldiers of the three armies were all infected by Gongsun Bai, and they threw away the things that sheltered them from the rain.

Although tens of thousands of soldiers were drenched in the rain, their hearts were hot, and the generosity and pride of hunting burst out, solemnly looking at the sailor robes on the river, and silently helping them to fight with this kind of action.

A water army in the rain is right in front of you.

On the flagship of the Jingzhou army, Cai Mao, who was dressed in gilded leather armor, stood tall under the support of Zhang Yun and Wei Yan, and the cloak behind him was blown by the river wind, which also looked quite majestic.

Wei Yan, who was beside him, looked at the battleships that were coming from the black pressure on the opposite side, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "General, the thief army suddenly came with so many warships overnight, and the last general can see that those battleships are not weaker than the warships of our army, and their array is quite orderly, and its main general seems to be well versed in water warfare." ” Cai Mao sneered disdainfully: "A group of landlubbers in the north, what can a warship be able to use on the water, and the array can be beautiful, but the untrained sailor will be defeated in a battle."

"It's actually him" Zhang Yun on the side suddenly pointed to the enemy flagship in the center and exclaimed.

Cai Mao looked up unhappily, and saw that under the banner of the word "Gan" that was hunting in the wind, a tall and colorful general in a colorful and green robe was standing proudly on the deck.

In an instant, he immediately knew who was coming.

Cai Mao couldn't help laughing: "Jinfan thief Gan Ning, born in Shuikou, is just a military marquis under the command of the general in the past.

Although Gan Ning once roamed the rivers and Hans, he was nothing more than robbing the ship merchants, and now he dares to lead a group of rabble to come to fight with my Jingzhou naval army, what a joke" He suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Now that our army occupies the advantage of the wind, set sail, speed up, finish killing the Yan army as soon as possible, don't delay lunch."

The sentence "Don't delay the lunch" greatly boosted the morale of all the Jingzhou military officers, and as a flag was passed on, the sails were pulled high, and the wind hunted and drummed, and hundreds of Jingzhou warships, facing the Yan army warship group, collided viciously.

Gan Ning, who was on the flagship opposite, also showed a disdainful smile: "If Huang Zu comes, maybe he can still fight, Cai Mao's incompetent people dare to despise us and others, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead." ” He turned his head suddenly, and also shouted loudly: "Speed up, don't mess up the formation, prepare the crossbow, and prepare for the battle" I had a cold yesterday.,Today's double change is to be continued.。。
