Just when Guo Jia was scolding Gan Ning for running away, Gan Ning was almost arriving at the Strait of Malacca, an important passage between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
Of course, at this time, there was no such thing as the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, but for the time being, the two sea areas were called that way.
After Gan Ning organized his troops, he rushed toward his destination almost day and night. It was completely different from what Jia Xu had imagined. Gan Ning knew very well what he might encounter, and he also knew that the difficulty level would increase with the action. rises with the passage of time.
However, this could not stop Gan Ning's determination to go to the Strait of Malacca. In Gan Ning's view, this battle was very necessary. Even if he took great risks, it was necessary to continue.
Gan Ning was very lucky not to encounter large-scale disastrous weather along the way, and traveled to a place dozens of miles away from the Strait of Malacca without any danger. From this distance, the land on both sides can be clearly seen.
"Apart from the fact that the weather is a bit hot, everything else is actually pretty good." Tai Shici said while standing on the deck, looking at the mainland in the distance.
"It's really good." Gan Ning showed a rare serious expression. Unlike Taishi Ci who didn't think about it carefully, Gan Ning knew very well that it was very possible for Kushan to leave some ships to garrison here.
"Xingba, you don't look as careless as before." Taishi Ci said with a smile.
"Let's get to the shore first. It's still dozens of miles away. Brother Guan, take some of the crossbows and soldiers to the shore first. Ziyi, you lead most of the ships into the river first and lie in wait. I'll go test it out and see if there's anything there. Ambush." Gan Ning said with a solemn expression.
"That's fine." Tai Shici nodded.
The small boat dispatched before had already walked along the coastline for a while, and was very lucky. There was a river that could be used for boating into the ocean. Although because I had just arrived here, I was not familiar with the hydrology and reefs of this river, but I was willing to Ning decided to enter the river first.
"Going ashore now?" Guan Hai asked puzzledly. We haven't met the enemy yet, and it's still dozens of miles away, so why do we have to go ashore first?
"Stand on the shore and prepare to attack. Let me see if I can lure the opponent out." Gan Ning seemed to have determined that Kushan's navy was stationed in the Malacca Strait.
"If that's the case, that's no problem." Guan Hai said solemnly.
Gan Ning slowly let the troop transport ships dock as close as possible, and then lowered the boats one by one, allowing Guan Hai and his men to successfully land on the boats.
Maybe Yanzhou people are really not suitable to be navy soldiers, despite years of training. But taking a boat for such a long time made them involuntarily cheer when they landed.
"Ziyi, you lead most of the navy into the river, but you must be prepared to rush out to rescue me at any time. My intuition tells me that there may be a large number of Kushan navy ambushing there." Gan Ning smiled at Taishi Ci said.
Gan Ning, who was under great psychological pressure before taking action, completely regained his composure the moment after taking action, and smiled arrogantly at Tai Shi Ci.
"It's so dangerous, so why don't you let me go? The skills of your navy commander are far better than mine. They might be able to do a better job of luring the enemy. I can do this." Taishi Ci thought for a while and then gave Gan Ning suggested.
"No." Gan Ning patted Tai Shici on the shoulder, "I am the only one under my lord who can be called a navy general, and I think you have this potential. If I don't give you a chance, you will never be able to Let potential become reality.”
Taishi Ci suddenly woke up at this moment and looked at Gan Ning in disbelief, "You, you..."
"Don't worry. It will definitely be me, Gan Ning, who wins." Gan Ning said with a smile, but this smile did nothing to dispel Tai Shici's worries.
Gan Ning had no intention of hiding it at this time. The Gan family was not a parallel importer family, and he, Gan Ning, was not the head of a second-rate importer family. His good-for-nothing appearance cannot hide his exquisite heart. In addition to his amazing bravery, his wisdom is also enough to match his military force.
"Ziyi, if you don't want me to die, you should try your best to come up with a commander who can match your bravery. Guishang only has a partial army. Let us lose hundreds of troops, and this time, the opponent will be stronger." Gan Ning patted Tai Shici on the shoulder and said with a chuckle.
After saying that, he ignored Tai Shici at all and Gan Ning jumped directly from the ship to Xu Sheng's car. This ship was a newly launched custom-made ship. It was carefully built by the Lu family for Xu Sheng, but now it has been requisitioned by Gan Ning. .
"Everyone enter the river." After Gan Ning left with the two high-speed boats, Taishi Ci said in a dry voice, but under this voice, Taishi Ci's determined eyes appeared.
[Gan Xingba, I’m here to play with you. Isn’t it Kushan? Commanding is also an art. I’ve experienced so many water battles. What’s there to be afraid of! 】 Tai Shici looked at Gan Ning who was heading towards the Strait of Malacca and became cruel.
"Wen Xiang, don't go too fast, pretend to be a merchant ship." Gan Ning patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder and said, he could see Xu Sheng's nervousness.
Xu Sheng took a deep breath and slowly gave the order to slow down. Unlike Gan Ning's guess, Xu Sheng had a natural sensitivity to danger, and the closer he got, the more dangerous he felt.
"Just keep this speed. Your ship is loaded with too much armaments, so it has a very deep draft. It looks like a fully loaded merchant ship. And I believe that with the pride of an empire, they will not doubt our intentions." Gan Ning His eyes were as calm as water, and he was now in a state of calm.
"Okay." Xu Sheng tried his best to calm his mind, but stiffness still appeared in Xu Sheng's body from time to time.
"We'll be here soon. It seems that Kuishang is more confident than we thought." Gan Ning looked at a small dot that appeared on the sea level, then masts and ships appeared, and finally the entire water village appeared in Gan Ning's eyes. This time the ship stopped suddenly.
"But that's right, for an empire that dominates all directions, there's no need to be secretive when you go to a place." Gan Ning suddenly grinned and said to himself.
"Director, are we going to march there like this?" Xu Sheng asked, his hair about to explode.
"No, we have discovered them, so they must have discovered us, so turn around, be tough and don't turn too fast." Gan Ning calmly gave the order.
"Left full rudder." Xu Sheng gave the order to the helmsman. The whole ship slowly turned more than 30 degrees. Then he made adjustments and turned more than 30 degrees again. After several adjustments in succession, Xu Sheng's big ship Finally completed the U-turn.
But at this time, as Gan Ning had estimated, a large ship with a bull's head in the Kushan Navy was already rushing towards them. (To be continued.)
