Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3159: When sailing a boat encounters pushing a boat

When it was still dark, Gan Ning came out wearing armor and stood at the crossing of Shuizhai Ferry.

　　The soldiers boarded the warships one after another. The first ones to set off were less than 600 men, 20 warships and 10 fighting ships.

  There will be another group of people who will be responsible for the ambush later.

Gan Ning is responsible for leading the front line troops and is preparing to board the ship.

Huang Quan stood aside and watched.

Gan Ning glanced sideways at Huang Quan and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion." Engaging in making someone cheat to lose is just cheating and will never cause trouble. 』

Huang Quan smiled awkwardly, "The general has taken the overall situation into consideration, and Quan admires him very much." 』

Gan Ning waved his hand and said, "What about the big and small situations? I'm a rough guy and don't understand these things. I'm just following Zhuge's orders." When someone is away at war, the responsibility of catching the spies rests with Huang Shijun. 』

"yes. This is natural. Huang Quan cupped his hands and said, "General, do you have any orders?" 』

Zhu Zhi was also a veteran general. When he saw Gan Ning's attack, he did not panic at all. He did not use the entire army. Instead, he sent the battleships in the front to meet the enemy, while the rear was still setting up camp in an orderly manner.

　　　Boom! Boom boom! 』

Gan Ning, on the other hand, gave the order without hesitation and hit him directly!

The grenade was not thrown on the smooth deck, but stuck on the edge of the wooden plank.

Jiangdong Tower Boats are like strong men, crossing the center of the river.

The small fleet carried no baggage. Although the spring floods had not yet arrived, the boats were light and there were few people and the draft was not deep. They sailed quickly downstream.

 Zhu Ling's tactics were transmitted to Sichuan and Shu through carrier pigeons. Although there were only a few words, Zhuge Liang's intelligence quickly deduced the methods and methods, and taught them to Gan Ning.

 A large yellow crossbow or a grenade alone is not easy to use on a battleship.

 Originally, ships were rarely equipped with large yellow crossbows. They were either crossbows with a longer range or waist-fired crossbows with a faster rate of fire. Because the big yellow crossbow is too large, has a slow rate of fire, and is not as powerful as a crossbow, it has always been rarely equipped on ships, but it is different now.

Jiangdong Army's warning sound resounded on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

 …

 The Big Yellow Crossbow no longer shoots simple crossbow bolts, but is equipped with grenades.

 Huang Quan bowed his hand in courtesy.

The wind on the river is strong and the water is surging.

 When the explosion sound came, Zhu Zhi's eyes widened.

 …

Gan Ning waved his hand, "Don't mention anything about giving orders... There is only one thing..."

 …

But now the big yellow crossbow shoots not people, but the side of the ship.

Huang Quan watched Gan Ning lead the team away, shook his head slightly and sighed.

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

The river water is splashing and the deck is smooth. The fixed-point sniper effect of the big yellow crossbow is basically zero. Even if the grenade is thrown on the opponent's deck, it may not be able to stop. It can't be said that it jumps and falls into the water from the other side...

Gan Ning laughed.

 A simple combination that raises the upper limit of weapons.

　　Explosions sounded one after another, mixed with the panicked shouts of Jiangdong soldiers.

The two people's eyes met.

 Gan Ning knew that Huang Quan didn't like him. Similarly, Gan Ning didn't like Huang Quan, but whether he liked him or not didn't mean they couldn't cooperate. Everything in the world cannot be supported by love.

This combination is obviously more stable and safer than throwing directly with hands or using other methods.

 Huang Quan turned around and walked back a few steps, but suddenly he felt something in his heart. He raised his head slightly and saw Zhuge Liang in gray clothes looking at him on the sentry tower of the water village in the distance.

 The soldiers on the side of the fighting ship immediately shouldered the big yellow crossbow.

 The fighting ship collided with the other side's saved ship. Gan Ning brandished his sword and jumped onto Jiangdong's ship.

　　　　rigger the crossbow! Fire off! 』

 Huang Quan nodded, "General, don't worry. 』

Gan Ning turned to stare at Huang Quan, "This is an important matter for the military and state, so we must not show mercy!" 』

Gan Ning's fighting ship is like a nimble child, passing under the big man's arm.

Until dusk in the afternoon, I suddenly saw rows of ships on the river in front of me, as well as Jiangdong soldiers who were camping on the shore.

Gan Ning didn't care about Huang Quan, he only cared about Zhuge Liang's approval. After saying that, he took two steps and jumped onto the fighting ship. He stepped on the bow of the ship and roared to start the ship. He even did one more There was no gesture of farewell.

 Seeing that the fleet had resolved its entanglement with the opponent, Gan Ning shouted an order.

 He may not have come to see Gan Ning off, but he still came.

For the Gan Ning side, it is progress, but for the Jiangdong Army side, it is a threat.

 …

"What it is? 』

 The power of firearms was experienced more by Cao Jun's side, and most of the people in Jiangdong heard about it.

 Zhu Zhi's arrangement was considered very appropriate, but he did not understand the combat power of Sichuan and Shu, and he did not even know the power of the Hussars' firearms, so casualties appeared quickly.

"quick! Send the order! Chinese army on alert! Get ready to throw stones! 』

Zhu Zhi suddenly yelled.

The front of Jiangdong Navy was obviously caught off guard.

　　　咚! 』

The big yellow crossbow was stuck under the side of the battleship.

　　　　Get rid of it quickly! 』

Amidst the urgent howling, Jiangdong soldiers tried to knock off and chop off the grenades stuck on the hull with swords and guns, but they were often too late. With a roar, iron fragments and wood chips flew everywhere, and there was a scream.

 Some ships had their sides blown open, and water began to enter the cracked holes.

 The rockets soared into the sky and fell one after another like stars falling.

Some rockets were stuck on the sails, and Jiang Dongbing rushed over, either covering them with sand or beating them with their clothes, and some even stepped on them and stamped them out...

Gan Ning screamed strangely, and rushed directly from one side of the Jiangdong ship to the other side, and then plunged into the river. Next to his own ship, he jumped onto the ship like a fish jumping out of the water, shaking all over his body. Splash, shouting happily.

Gan Ning has such a powerful force, so naturally he drives his subordinates to compete for the lead.

 Time passed little by little, and the front of Zhu Zhishui's army was in chaos, but the middle army did not rush into the battlefield to rescue, but formed an array behind it.

The battle was fierce and many ships were damaged. Some ships were tilted, with their heads or butts raised, and they gradually sank.

The corpses were floating, some floating on the side of the boat, and some floating down the river.

 Black smoke.

 Fire.

 The acrid thick smoke billowed up and filled the entire river surface.

Several battleships from Gan Ning's side wanted to take advantage of the smoke to attack Zhu Zhizhong's army. As soon as they nodded, they were fired upon by Zhu Zhizhong's army and sank in the river.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　tic

When Gan Ning saw this, he immediately raised money and retreated his troops.

Jiangdong's former army, which was disturbed by Gan Ning, naturally refused to let Gan Ning withdraw like this, so they chased after him with shouts...

Zhu Zhi couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, and immediately responded and shouted, "No!" 』

 …

 …

 Zhu Zhi sent Zhu Ran to rescue the former army.

 Gan Ning saw Jiangdong coming to help, so he stopped entangled, abandoned the ambushed Jiangdong front army, and walked away.

Zhu Zhi's face was as gloomy as the river at night, but when he turned around and saw the former naval commander who came to plead guilty, Zhu Zhi hid the disgust and contempt in his heart, and instead smiled and comforted him tolerantly. After a while, let him go down to rest.

There were more warships and more people than those in Sichuan and Sichuan, but they were beaten like this. If it weren't for the fact that the war was imminent and killing generals before the war would damage his morale, Zhu Zhi would definitely have to answer the questions again and again, but now he can only remember it for now. The account will be discussed after the war.

Zhu Ran came to report the damage statistics.

Although the former army was defeated, the damage was actually not too great. Except for a few sunk ships, many of the other ships only had damaged hulls and could barely be used after repair.

 As for the wounded soldiers...

  Can be ignored.    The life of a ship is nobler than the life of a human being.

Zhu Zhi took a breath after looking at the statistics. As long as there are generally no problems with the warship, then there won't be any problems.

However, a question suddenly jumped into Zhu Zhi's mind.

 Why did Gan Ning attack?

"Gan Xingba was very shocked to have such a firearm..." Zhu Zhi frowned and said, "If you come to use it, what should you do with it?" 』

 Obviously, Gan Ning came to harass and obstruct, there is no doubt about it.

But when Gan Ning was harassing and obstructing him, was it necessary to use such sharp firearms?

Zhu Ran also thought for a moment, and then said: "If you use it like a child, you can hide it until the decisive battle and startle the three armies with one fell swoop..."

 Zhu Zhi nodded, "Of course." So why is Gan Xingba used like this? 』

Gan Ningxiu is amused, has he lost his mind and gone crazy?

Of course, if we look at Gan Ning's "good tradition", it seems that such a possibility cannot be ruled out. However, Zhu Zhi is cautious and does not think that this is something Gan Ning did randomly without any brains. After all, even if Gan Ning has no brains, others in Sichuan and Shu will also have no brains? Zhuge, the one who made Huang Gai lose face, would let Gan Ning do such a mindless thing?

Who doesn't know that this kind of sharp weapon has a certain value like a king bomb. Although Gan Ning used it to defeat Zhu Zhi's former army, it did not cause much damage to Zhu Zhi as a whole. It is even beneficial to Zhu Zhi as a whole, because after being prepared, Jiangdong Army will not be as panicked as it is now when it encounters the same tactics next time.

Zhu Ran said: "Is this just to intimidate us?" 』

　　　『Intimidation? ” Zhu Zhi pinched his beard.

 This is not difficult to understand.

Jiangdong didn’t know that Sichuan and Shu had powerful weapons, so didn’t he just ask Gan Ning to come and show them off?

 But why did Huang Gai...

 ‘Haha…’ Zhu Zhi said with a smile, ‘Such a sharp weapon is definitely not an easy task. Huang Gongfu...unless Huang Gongfu deliberately concealed it..."

 Halfway through speaking, Zhu Zhi shook his head and said, "With Huang Gongfu as a person...it's not like this..."

The information previously reported by Huang Gai and Zhu Huan did not specifically mention the Sichuan-Sichuan firearms incident, so either Huang Gai and Zhu Huan did not encounter it, or encountered it rarely, or Huang Gai and Zhu Huan concealed it and did not report it .

However, the internal fighting in Jiangdong is still internal fighting, and there are still some rules. It is not to say that there is any fame in this kind of thing. After all, there are not only Huang Gai or Zhu Huan's private soldiers in the army, there are some things that you want to cover up. It may not be possible to cover everything up, so Zhu Zhi generally believed that Huang Gai and Zhu Huan did not encounter large-scale use of firearms in their previous battles with Sichuan and Shu soldiers...

Such a strange question was posed in front of him. Why was this Sichuan-Sichuan firearm thrust right under his nose when he came?

And it was as if he wanted to show off to him on purpose, so Gan Ning came here to "harass" him?

"Could it be..." Zhu Zhi's eyes flashed, "This is Zhuge's plan!" 』

Zhu Ran asked, "Zhuge's plan?" 』

　　　『Such firearms are beyond human power... they must be difficult to make! Zhu Zhi thought about it and said, "If it is like a bow and arrow and can be controlled in a moment, then it must be used for Huang Gongfu... Is there any reason to save it for the current use?" 』

Zhu Ran also nodded after hearing this.

 Zhu Zhi’s words indeed make some sense.

So since this inference can be established, it means that Zhuge Liang is actually using these firearms to intimidate Zhu Zhi and delay time!

Zhu Zhi laughed loudly, "I have been on the battlefield for many years, how can I be afraid of this trivial skill?" It can make the front army quickly regroup and advance quickly to recover! 』

Zhu Ran was silent for a moment and said hesitantly: "Father, if...this Zhuge..."

Zhu Zhi frowned and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it directly!" 』

“Father, sir,” Zhu Ran said, cupping his hands, “Huang Gong replied, this son is cunning and unpredictable. If...if he is this son, I predict that you and I will not retreat but advance..."

Zhu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Is there any reason for everything to be prepared in the army?" If you look at the enemy carelessly, you will suffer damage, and if you look at the enemy too carefully, you will inevitably miss a good opportunity. Now that we have been entrusted by the Commander-in-Chief to lead the army into Sichuan, if you and I look forward and backward, and have no way to advance or retreat...this military spirit cannot be repeated again and again. 』

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　为. Father taught you the right lesson. Zhu Ran said.

Zhu Ran was thinking about whether Zhuge would use a strategy to target him, while Zhu Zhi was thinking about the overall situation and the morale of the entire Jiangdong Army, so even if he knew there was a risk, he still had to march.

Zhu Zhi was silent for a while, "This matter must be guarded against. You can lead a part of the Chinese army and **** it behind. If you can advance safely, it will be fine. If... you can help them quickly..."

Zhu Ran accepted the order and was prepared not to mention it when he went down.

 …

 …

On the other side, when Gan Ning was leading his troops to fight, in Yufu Beishan, several people dressed as mountain people were carefully looking for a way forward.

This place is mountainous and the road is not easy to walk. The shrubs and woods are connected together, and the mountain vines are climbing everywhere. From time to time, you need to use a machete to cut them open before you can continue to move forward.

 Suddenly, someone fell into the pit and screamed loudly.

　　　There’s a trap! Run! 』

Without saying a word, these mountain people turned around and ran away. However, they could not escape, and they ran not far away when they encountered Huang Quan and his men, who blocked the trail.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　dedication without restraint ! 』

 Huang Quan shouted loudly.

One person seemed a little timid and his legs and feet were weak. Just as he was kneeling down to beg for mercy, he was stabbed directly in the back by another person.

"ah…"

The man screamed and fell to the ground, but the assailant turned around and jumped directly into the mountain stream.

 Huang Quan suddenly frowned.

 Huang Quan’s men rushed forward and knocked down the remaining people, only to see that the injured man had died.

 "Your Majesty..." Sichuan Bing looked up at Huang Quan, "This..."

Huang Quan waved his hand, "Take them all away!" Even the ones in the trap ahead are picked up and taken away! 』

 …

 …

Wu Ban’s face turned a little pale.

 One of his men is missing.

Wu Ban was not in the order of battle. He was only responsible for transporting food and grass to recover fish. As a result, when he was going back, he found that there were fewer people.

 The number of players on the roster does not match up.

 Those who were with the missing man were arrested.

 Wu Ban was also brought to Youwen Division for questioning.

 That man was a soldier under Wu Ban, but not from the Wu family, and the key point is that even Wu Ban himself didn’t know where the man had gone or what he had done...

Zhao from the Wen Department stared at Wu Ban expressionlessly, while a clerk next to him was taking notes.

Wu Ban wanted to see what Shu Zuo had written, but he was defeated under the gaze of Wen Si Zhao, who emphasized: "I really don't know why this person escaped..."

Zhao Zhizhi still had the expressionless look on his face, "Wu Xiaowei, are you sure there is nothing to add?" 』

 Wu Ban looked helpless and smiled bitterly, "I really don't know..."

 Zhao Cheng nodded, "Okay." I'm sorry, Lieutenant Wu, you can go. 』

Wu Ban was a little in disbelief.

 During this period of time, You Wen Si had a notorious reputation.

In Sichuan and Shu, many gentry and gentry who had connections with Jiangdong were arrested. Once the war started, many things could not be explained clearly. Some of these rural gentry clans may have been wronged, but at this critical point, even if the nine implicated clans were exempted, they were basically abandoned by the family, like a gecko with its tail cut off. out.

Wu Ban believed that if he really couldn't explain it clearly, Wu Yi would be like those gentry and squires, split it up as much as possible, and then throw it out. Wu Ban couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought of this.

He hurriedly returned to his temporary residence, and then after much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and wrote a letter, detailing the whole thing, and asked someone to send it to Wu Yi in Chengdu...

Wu Ban’s actions naturally could not escape the attention of Youwen Si. In the blink of an eye, the information was sent to Zhuge Liang’s case.

　　　『Gongheng, what do you think about this matter? 』

Zhuge Liang asked calmly.

Huang Quan hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

 In history, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Sichuan and Shu were in complete chaos. Not to mention the largest factions, the Jingzhou faction and the Yizhou faction, they are trying to undermine each other like red and blue. Even within the factions, there are various small factions. For example, the ASEAN faction and the Western alliance faction are also called the Dongzhou faction and the Xizhou faction. Dongzhou means that Dongwu is affiliated with Dongwu, and Xizhou means that Dongwu are all two-skinned and unreliable, or the Xiqiang people are more honest. In addition, there are old nobles and new heroes, military generals and civil servants, and even personal grievances are also mixed in. It can be said that from beginning to end, Shu Han has not worked together for a day.

Well, yes, in history, Zhuge Liang died of hard work, and most of it was due to the internal fighting among these factions.

Now that Fei has sneaked into the main river, does that mean that the Sichuan-Shu faction can disappear?

What peaches are you thinking about?

Sichuan and Shu have a small territory, but they have many factions.

Perhaps it’s because it’s called Little China. It’s surrounded by Sichuan and Sichuan mountains on all sides, and factional disputes never seem to stop. Even in later generations, Chengdu people still look down on Chongqing people, and Chongqing people also say they look down on Chengdu people...

 Huang Quan is from Bajun and can be regarded as a native of Sichuan. Wu Yi is an out-and-out member of the Sichuan faction, and he is also a veteran of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. He even had an acquaintance with Liu Bei back then. So generally speaking, Huang Quan and Wu Yi couldn't pee in the same pot.

Huang Quan was ordered to arrest the spy, but the spy was so fierce that he not only silenced him, but even jumped into a mountain stream himself. Then he found out that Wu Ban, who was escorting grain and grass, was missing one soldier...

This is a yellow lump inside Wu Ban's crotch, do you think it's not feces?

Who believes it?

Huang Quan just needs to go with the flow...
