Chapter 143 Sima Hui tricks the sailors (6)
For this famous Uncle Liu Huang, Cai Mao has complicated feelings.Needless to say, the fate of this Uncle Liu was turbulent. Not only did he fight for most of his life with few victories, he was even so miserable that he didn't even have a piece of territory.Even after six or seven years in the tiny place of Xinye City, he was always jealous and guarded by his fellow imperial relative, Liu Biao.In the past, when Liu Bei went to Xiangyang Mufu to ask Liu Biao for relevant matters, he had met him several times.This Uncle Liu has a series of official titles such as General Zuo, Tinghou of Yicheng, and Mu of Yuzhou. Didn't he nod and bow respectfully like the servants?Thinking about his situation, it is really miserable.This is exactly why I and Kuai Yue have always been disfavored about Liu Bei—except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun who are brave and foolish, who would want to follow his ill-fated uncle Liu Huang?His poor fortune, declining fortune, and weak power cannot support the prosperous future of our famous families like the Cai family and the Kuai family in Jingzhou.Now, he is actually beyond his control, and dares to send a navy to stop us.There is no way, this is a "big dish" delivered to our door by himself, and I, Cai Mao, have to take them all in one pot, and bring them to Prime Minister Cao to exchange for a bright future for my Cai family.

Standing on Cai Hao's left hand, Yu Jin, the commander of Cao Jun's navy, looked at the cloudy expression on his face, and asked hesitantly, "Does Captain Cai have any concerns?"

Cai Hao glanced at Yu Jin, thinking that he was a trusted and beloved general beside Cao Cao, and hurriedly said politely and in a negotiating tone: "Well... that's how it is, General Yu, since Liu Bei's navy is attacking, Cai Mao hastily and politely said in a negotiating tone. A certain self-confidence is still somewhat certain to dare to fight him. It's just that our army has been plagued by the epidemic recently and its combat power has been weakened. It is not appropriate to devote the whole army to this battle at this moment. In Cai's opinion, it is better to allocate a forward fleet A total of 380 warships and [-] sailors will attack Liu Bei's remnants head-on first! What do you think of the general?"

After hearing this, Yu Jin didn't answer immediately, but secretly thought about Cai Mao's words in his heart.He is a "Navy Supervisor" in name, but in fact, like the Cao Jun "Navy Guards" stationed on every Jingzhou warship, he was sent by Prime Minister Cao to perform the duties of supervision in this navy. "Eyeliner".He himself is very clear that those so-called "Navy Guard" officers and personal soldiers are Cao Jun's young Xu Lu soldiers who entered the water and stationed in the boat, although they are also known as "Zhuque Pond", "Xuanwu Pond", Yingshui They have received water warfare drills in other places, but in fact, they can hardly even stand on the windy and rough river. Many soldiers still vomit as soon as the boat leaves.Some local naval officers and academies in Jingzhou even reported that these Cao Jun officers who actually exercised the function of supervising the army used their power to ask them to slow down their sailing speed in order to weaken their seasick reaction.In addition, many people in the Jingzhou navy suffered from an acute epidemic. If the whole army were to go into battle, they would only be able to exert at most 300% of their combat effectiveness.On the contrary, Cai Mao's strategy at this time was more practical and prudent. With more than [-] naval forces and more than [-] medium-sized warships as the vanguard of the army, he can firstly find out the truth, and secondly, he can advance or retreat.

Thinking of this, Yu Jin nodded heavily: "Okay! Just follow the order of Governor Cai!"

Huilongwan sneak attack

Compared with the medium-sized ships of the Jingzhou Navy, which were as big as three houses, the Jiangdong vanguard general Gan Ning's warship fleet was like cunning black sharks, breaking through the waves and braving the enemy's secrets. The dense rain of arrows rushed forward at a speed as fast as lightning.

Gan Ning, from Linjiang County, Ba County, Yizhou, was originally a Jiangyang thief. He was passionate about fighting and killing all his life. He often led people to rob passing merchant ships on the river, and made sails with the stolen silk and satin. He was very ostentatious, known as "Jinfan Thief".But Gan Ning was also quite skilled in water warfare, and once served under Liu Biao's general and Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu, but Yu Yu couldn't reuse him, so he switched to Jiangdong Sun Quan's command.As a result, Sun Quan realized that he was really capable, so he immediately let him go and appointed him. In ten days, he was promoted from the commander of the commander and the lieutenant of the Pianjun to the post of vanguard general.And because Gan Ning was fortunate enough to meet the Ming Lord, he was also grateful for Dade, and he wanted to make military exploits to reward Sun Quan—and this time the sniper battle with Cao Jun's navy at "Huilong Bay" was about to start, he regarded it as repaying Sun Quan The best opportunity to promote the favor.

Gan Ning, who was at the head of the boat, pierced into the enemy's fleet. He saw a flag with the word "Xiahou" hanging high above the nearest enemy ship to his own, so he guessed it was The ship on which a general of the Cao army whose military rank is at least above the commander of a thousand commanders takes.So, he raised his right hand and made a move to the back of his head. Seeing this, the sailors on the ship immediately flipped their wooden oars, and as fast as lightning, they rowed the warship towards the enemy ship.

Seeing that there was still a foot away from the enemy ship's side, Gan Ning held the big knife in his mouth, squatted slightly on the bow of the ship and raised his breath, his whole body flew up like a spirit ape, and jumped up with a "chuck" past.

He was in mid-air, the big knife was already in his hand, dancing like a ball of knife flowers, and the moment his feet landed on the deck, he slashed wildly.The shocked Cao soldiers yelled and staggered around on the bumpy deck, ready to shoot him down—unexpectedly, Gan Ning's body was as agile as a monkey's, and he could twitch and turn like a monkey. Avoiding the opponent's stabbing with several spears, he casually "swiped" a few knives and knocked down several Cao soldiers who rushed up.And behind him, those Jiangdong sailors who have been living their lives on the river with their knives since they followed him as water thieves and robbers have jumped onto the boat and quickly joined the battle group.
