To be honest, Gan Ning was very curious and wanted to fly to Xiakou immediately to observe this magical battle.
Although Gan Ning seemed to be very brave, he used to play wild tricks. It was not until the defeat against Liu Zhang that Gan Ning realized that regular battles were not as simple as he imagined. Therefore, Gan Ning really wanted to see how the legendary Sun family fought!
However, someone interrupted Gan Ning's yearning.
"Gan Ning! What are you talking about? Have you forgotten the coach's instructions! We should rush to Xiakou now!" A person next to him suddenly shouted. This is Gan Ning's deputy. Of course, Gan Ning has just arrived, and this deputy Obviously he is from Huang Zu.
"It's not like I'm not going to Xiakou, so why are I in such a hurry? You heard it when you came here. The messenger said that Jiangdong's army has gone back to Jiangdong. We are going to Xiakou just for a formality. What's wrong with taking a rest in the middle? "Gan Ning said, tilted his head and said coldly, "Besides, who are you? What qualifications do you have to order me?"
"You?! Gan Ning!" The deputy immediately drew his weapon, "I now suspect that you are a collaborator!"
"Ha!" Gan Ning burst into laughter, "Why are you rushing to Xiakou in such a hurry? Do you want to help Jiangdong Army open the blockade? I suspect you are collaborating with the enemy!" Gan Ning shouted angrily, at least judging from the momentum, Gan Ning Ning is much more intimidating than his deputy.
For a moment, the soldiers looked at each other, not knowing who to believe or whose side to side with.
Just when the two parties were in a standoff, many people discovered that a small boat was rowing quickly from the downstream direction.
Zhu Ran and Ling Cao looked at each other and prepared to intercept.
Over there, the deputy's expression changed.
"Something must have happened!"
Then he shouted loudly towards the boat,
"But there is military intelligence to report?"
"Military information! Urgent military information! Who is the commander on the other side?" came the response from Xiaozhou.
Zhu Ranlingcao, who was thinking about when to take action, moved his eyes. The voice was, Lord!
On the military ship over there,
"It's me! Gan Ning!" Gan Ning replied loudly.
"It's not him! Give me the military information!" the deputy shouted hurriedly.
"How long has it been, and you are still fighting among yourself! It seems that I have no choice but to hand over military information to the merchant ships. There is no other way, I really can't row anymore."
Sun Quan dealt with the messenger soldiers on the boat, but did not want the boat to flow back and be discovered by the Xiakou defenders, so he had no choice but to row the boat over himself.
Zhu Ran personally helped Sun Quan anchor the boat to the merchant ship, and Sun Quan also boarded the merchant ship.
"Not bad, pretty good. He actually managed to trick me into coming here." Sun Quan was quite satisfied with the result.
There were no casualties on our side, and no fragments of the ship flowed downstream. This was already the most perfect result.
"Gan Ning, have you thought about it? If so, just express your opinion." Sun Quan shouted directly to Gan Ning. So far so good, but it's not over yet. Since everything here is still intact, Sun Quan naturally wants to make good use of it.
"Gan Ning! As expected!"
Upon hearing this, the deputy's eyes widened, but the next second, he knew that he had discovered it too late.
The killing was very clean and neat, showing that Gan Ning had no hesitation in his heart.
"Xia's mouth has been broken! Surrender if you are wise, I will protect you from death!" Gan Ning raised his weapon and shouted.
"Who does this guy think he is!" Ling Cao immediately said unhappily. To protect people from death? The Lord didn't even nod here, why did he say that? Even if you really have to spare someone's life, this kindness should belong to the Lord!
"Haha, don't take it to heart. Go up and help him. Anyone who resists will be killed! Get rid of the other side as soon as possible. I still have great use for this warship!" Sun Quan ordered.
"yes!"
There were not many resisters and they were quickly put down. A small number of people tried to escape by jumping into the river, but Sun Quan and Gan Ning killed them with one arrow each. Even if a fish did slip through the net, it would be impossible to swim back upstream to report the news.
"My lord! What a great arrow!"
From the tone of Sun Quan's words and the attitude of Ling Cao and others towards him, Gan Ning had already guessed Sun Quan's identity.
However, Gan Ning still can't believe that a person of Sun Quan's status would actually act alone! It's not like a brave person would be like this!
"Your archery skills are also good." Sun Quan praised. This was not a compliment from Sun Quan. Except for Sun Quan himself, among the people he had seen, Gan Ning was fully capable of following Lu Bu.
"Hey, my lord, you deserve the reward." Gan Ning cupped his hand, not very modestly. He looked towards Xiakou for a while and asked curiously,
"Lord, when will our large army arrive?"
Gan Ning preconceived the idea that if Sun Quan could come over, Xiakou must have been conquered. There might still be fighting there, but Sun Quan got to a relatively safe place here first. So what Gan Ning just said to persuade him to surrender was not just random words, he really thought about it.
"It depends on when they will send someone over."
Sun Quan said and turned back. After a while, another small boat came from downstream.
The first boat, which was Sun Quan's boat, came to report the broken iron rope. Then this small boat will only bring one piece of information-Jiangdong Army is attacking!
"Gan Ning, let me lend you a boat." Sun Quan raised his lips.
??????
above the Yangtze River,
The fleet led by Dong Xi rushed towards Xiakou despite high-altitude bombing. As for the Xiakou Checkpoint, due to the broken iron cables, the two Mengchong ships could no longer stay horizontally in the river. As a last resort, they had to line up on both sides and try to stabilize the hulls. No matter what, they had to find a way to prevent the Jiangdong Army fleet from passing.
"Hold on, everyone!"
"Don't panic!"
"Our reinforcements will be arriving soon!"
"Jiangdong's army marches against the river, they won't be able to support it for long!"
"Reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements are coming!"
Seeing the ship coming from behind, the morale of the Jingzhou army was instantly boosted. Although some people found that only one ship came and it had no effect, but since one ship came, would the others be far away? This will be a great boost to morale!
But before the Xiakou defenders were happy for too long, they faintly realized something was wrong. The speed of this warship was getting faster and faster. As the distance approached, it did not slow down at all. With the help of smooth wind and water, it finally hit the river like a sharp sword. The target is very clear, directed at one of the ships, Mengchong!
"What are you doing!"
"Stop it!"
"No! We're going to hit you!"
"Paddle quickly! Paddle! Move!"
"No!!!"
Long!
There was a loud bang. In this era, no ship could withstand such impact. Meng Chong may be difficult to break when the wind is against the current, but with the wind and the current, it is just a slightly harder piece of wood.
In the midst of the chaos, a military ship flying the flag with the word "Sun" rushed forward.
