The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 327
War will kill people, and not one or two, but tens of thousands of soldiers will die. If you are merciful, you will only accelerate your own defeat, and you will feel sorry for your soldiers, so you must be ruthless when facing the enemy Ruthless, can't be soft-hearted, it would be ridiculous to talk about benevolence and justice in war, because no general is willing to use the lives of his soldiers to talk about benevolence and justice.

Fighting is not about lip service, but real fighting. Anyone who blocks the way will become the soul of the sword. This is the cruelty of ancient wars. If you want peace, you must first kill people.

"Husband, Zhou Yu is really hateful, but how can we pursue them without food and grass?" Lu Lingqi was filled with righteous indignation.

"Don't worry, although the granary was burned, we can first ask the people in the city to borrow grain for use. Now you and Wei Ming immediately ask the people for grain, and gather at the gate of the city in an hour." Zhao Yun has already thought of a solution.

Lu Lingqi and Wei Ming took the orders to go, and they led the soldiers to ask from house to house, because the people loved Li Yuan very much, so when they heard that Zhao Yun's soldiers wanted to borrow food, the people all expressed their willingness to take out their own food Seeing this, Lu Lingqi felt a lot of emotion. If it was her father, Lu Bu, she might be rejected.

Lu Lingqi and Wei Ming immediately went to the city gate to gather with Zhao Yun after borrowing food. Zhao Yun counted and found that the food was enough for them for seven days, which was enough for them to reach Langya, so he ordered to set off for Langya.

When Li Yuan divided his troops to deal with Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and Yu Jin in Jiangxia had already begun to lead the navy to attack Chaisang. Gan Ning brought [-] navy from Xiangyang, Yu Jin had [-] navy in Jiangxia, and Li Tong also Bring [-] soldiers and horses from Xinye to support.

"General Gan Ning, after you successfully defeat Chaisang, I will cross the river with my soldiers to help you." Li Tong is a landlubber who is not familiar with water warfare.

"Hahahaha, General Li Tong, don't worry. After several years of research and construction, our army now has two large ships docked in Jiangxia. General Li can take the large ships to cross the river with our army. We can capture Chaisang." Gan Ning laughed loudly.

"Lou Chuan? What is a Lou Chuan?" Li Tong didn't know anything about it.

"The hull of the building boat is huge, nearly ten feet high, high and wide at the bow, and looks like a building, so it is called a building boat. A building boat can accommodate 2000 to 3000 people. The building boat can originally use oars for navigation. But after the improvement of the Lord, the soldiers can control the ship by stepping on the pulley, which is very labor-saving, and the sailing is very stable, almost like walking on the ground. Even if you don’t know water, don’t worry, I will arrange manpower to operate the ship for you. General Li only needs to command the soldiers on the boat to help shoot.” Gan Ning explained.

"So that's how it is. Everything is under the arrangement of General Gan Ning." Li Tong was not so timid, and decided to cross the river with Gan Ning on a large boat.

Judging from the present, Xi Zhicai's strategy of splitting up troops to attack Jiang is very correct. Even if Li Yuan's attack on Lujiang is unfavorable, Gan Ning can still open a breakthrough in Chaisang. Whether it is Chaisang or Moling, as long as one of them is breached Li Yuan's army can drive straight in.

Gan Ning led 3 people to Chaisang. Looking at the more than 1000 warships on the river, he felt a sense of pride. High position and weight, all these changes are so fast, thanks to Li Yuan's acquaintance, he has the status he is today, so he is very grateful to Li Yuan in his heart.

"General Gan, the enemy on the other side reacted after seeing us attack, how should we attack?" Huo Jun reported to Gan Ninghui.

"How is the enemy's strength?" Gan Ning asked.

"The force is nearly [-], far inferior to ours."

"Use the half-moon formation, trap the enemy deep in it, and then use rockets to shoot!" Gan Ning ordered, he wanted to defeat the enemy's water army in one fell swoop.

"Yes!" Huo Jun took the order and left.

Cheng Pu was very experienced in combat as Sun Jian's former army. He was ordered by Zhou Yu to guard Chaisang.

Zhou Yu originally expected that Li Yuan would let Gan Ning attack Moling. In his impression, Gan Ning was the only one under Li Yuan who had experience in water warfare, so he sent Cheng Pu to guard Chaisang. Once he found the enemy on the water, he could fight immediately. Cheng Pu was capable enough to deal with the enemy, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Li Yuan didn't send Gan Ning to attack Moling at all, but instead sent Gan Ning to attack Chaisang.

Cheng Pu only had [-] troops in Chaisang, no more and no less. He found out that Jiangxia's navy was dispatched and led the navy to stop it. He predicted that the enemy would not fight by water, so he wanted to take advantage of the water Defeat the enemy in one go.

On the Yangtze River, the waves were rolling, and Gan Ning could already see the enemy's soldiers and horses standing on the bow of the boat. He immediately ordered: "Shoot rockets!"

The soldiers at the front immediately fired rockets. Gan Ning's army surrounded the enemy in a half-moon formation. Cheng Pu had fewer troops than Gan Ning, so he was in a hurry when he was surrounded all at once.

Numerous rockets were fired at the Cheng Pu water army at the same time, and the rockets were gliding in the sky. Looking up, it seemed as if countless pops were falling down. If it was at night, the scene would be even more spectacular.

Thousands of rockets shot at the enemy's warships. Cheng Pujun's warships in the front row became the first batch of victims. It is made of wood, and it will catch fire if it is shot by a rocket. If you want to avoid being burned to death, you can only dive into it.

It was just one round of shooting. Cheng Pu's army had damaged more than 20 warships, and more than 400 people were shot into the water. This loss does not seem to be a big loss, but if the fighting continues, Cheng Pu will definitely not be able to afford it.

"The archers fought back, and the helmsman steered the boat to continue approaching the enemy!" Cheng Pu was not slow to react, and said decisively.

The Jiangdong water army immediately launched a counterattack, but they did not prepare fuel, so what they shot were not rockets but ordinary arrows.The best weapon for fighting on water is the bow and arrow, because on the water you can only rely on ships to move, so the flexibility is far less than on land, so the bow and arrow are the best offensive weapons.

After being shot by this man's arrows, the Gan Ning navy also lost more than 200 people. The loss was not too great. When he saw this, he immediately ordered the building boats to rush to the front. He had to rely on two huge building boats Break through the enemy's water army in one fell swoop.

Two huge warships rushed out of Gan Ning's navy formation, and other boats rowed to the back of the building boats to avoid the enemy's arrows.
