Chapter 458: Good news spread frequently
There is a reason why Gan Ning distributes this way.
When the night attack, it is not that the more people the better, but that the more attention is to cooperation and subjective initiative.
Because at night, the vision is very poor and it is easy to disconnect, in this case, good cooperation and firm will are the biggest chance of winning.
Gan Ning just investigated Zhang Yun's troops a few days ago. Although the other party was alert, the entire army did not believe that the Yangzhou navy would go up against the Han River and run to Hanchuan from top to bottom. Come attack them.
In fact, Zhang Yun is not a completely incompetent person, and his considerations are based on it.
Zhang Yun believes that as long as Huang Zu's fleet is still there, he can restrain the Yangzhou navy. Moreover, the number of Yangzhou naval troops is not large, so it is difficult to divide the troops to attack him when confronting Huang Zu, especially when Xiakou City is still under the hands of the Jingzhou army.
Zhang Yun's judgment cannot be wrong, but even if he does not consider the information difference, he cannot get the result of the decisive battle of the Yangtze River earlier than the Yangzhou army. More importantly, as the commander of the army, how can he be because of What makes this relax military discipline and vigilance?
The fundamental reason here is that it is too hard for the general.
Any famous generals are almost always injured, and the root cause is that they must endure hardships.
Wu Qizhangzhangsan's illness, so he had seventy-six battles, sixty-four victories, and no one was defeated.
Li Shimin, as a prince, led by example and was almost dead and resurrected.
It’s not that they don’t want to enjoy their happiness, nor that they are really brave and fearless, but that they know that only in this way can they mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers and achieve strict military discipline.
Strict military discipline cannot be achieved by your general in one word. Without Liu Feng's example, improving the treatment of soldiers, and paying attention to fair rewards and punishments. Without extraordinary prestige, the soldiers will only obey you, be forced to force you even if you are too anxious. Let me stage a mutiny for you.
Zhang Yun undoubtedly can't bear the hardship, nor has extraordinary prestige, and even his background cannot be admired. In addition, this wave of reinforcements is just the second and third-tier troops, and has undergone two expansions, so it is too normal for such a result.
That night, Gan Ning personally led the troops of the headquarters to set out first, and he divided the headquarters into four batches. Among them, there were 400 main fleets, including various silos, Luluo and other main ships headed first. Five miles away from the water camp, the two thousand warriors assigned by Zhou Yu landed onshore first and then rushed to the battlefield.
There were three fleets of hundreds of small boats each, arranged by Gan Ning in the weakest part of the other side, serving as the sharp blade.
The last fleet of hundreds of ships was a fire attack fleet, full of straw and charcoal.
After using Gan Ning's army, set off first.
The sun and the moon are very beautiful, sprinkled on the Han River, and the waves are sparkling, just like the moon palace descending to earth.
The river water flowed under the moonlight, making a whine like a jade rabbit pounding medicine.
When Ganning's troops arrived at the periphery of Zhang Yunshui Camp, it was already noon.
Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat, wearing double-layer heavy armor, with a short knife hanging on his waist, holding two short halberds in his hand, his eyes were like torches, staring at the Zhang Yunshui Army camp vaguely visible in front of him.
The lights in the camp were sparse, and the defenders were obviously relaxed. Only a few patrol soldiers could be seen vaguely on the harbours.
The soldiers of Ganning Army directly used torches on the mast and issued orders, without fear of the other party's water camp discovering heresy. Having reached this position, even if Zhang Yun's troops discovered the enemy's attack now, it would be difficult for them to go out to block the attack.
Unfortunately, until some of the troops in Ganning Institute were completed, the Xiangyang Army Water Camp was still silent. Obviously, the soldiers on the watchtower were either lazy and asleep or simply not on the post.
Because of countercurrent and in the aquatic water season, the water power is very high. Even though the wind direction is southeast wind, the speed of the ship is still not fast.
Gan Ning followed behind the fireboat and watched the fireboat in front slowly sail towards the water camp, and felt a little worried.
Due to the fire attack, although these ships are all small boats, the load capacity on them is extremely high and the draft is very deep, which cannot withstand the slightest accident. Once discovered by the other party, even if there is no time to go out to stop it, there are still some defensive measures.
Although this night attack is inevitable regardless of whether the fire attack is successful or not, if the fire attack can be successful, the subsequent night attack will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, this time the fire attack ship was different from before. Each ship was assigned a total of five soldiers, one of whom was at the helm and four were paddling, in order to increase the speed of the ship.
"Who!?"
Just when the fireboat was less than 100 meters away from the Xiangyang Army's ship formation, the Xiangyang Army sentry on the lookout platform finally discovered the existence of the fireboat.
But he did not give him a warning immediately, but instead shouted loudly at the fire-attacking ship in the distance.
"Ignite!"
Gan Ning made a quick decision and made a loud order toward the fire ship in front of him. At the same time, he snatched the strong bow from the hands of his personal soldiers behind him, and put on the arrows. The arrow shot out like a meteor, hitting the throat of the sentry.
The sentry couldn't even scream and fell on the lookout.
Then, fire points ignited in the night, illuminating the entire water surface.
The soldiers of the Ganning Army rowed hard, and dozens of fireboats held huge kinetic energy and plunged into the ship formation. The Ganning soldiers on the fire attack ship dived and swam towards the rescue boat behind. "Brothers, in order to fight tonight, be sure to fight quickly and quickly, fight slowly with fast speed, and do not fight with love."
Gan Ning roared loudly, "Those who beheaded Zhang Yun are the first meritorious person. Those who capture Zhang Yun alive will be rewarded with a hundred gold medals. They will be promoted to the third level!"
"Here!"
Seriously Under the reward, everyone in Gansu and Ning are striving for the first place.
By the side of the fireboat, the Ganning Army's ship rushed over.
The rope was broken by Gan Ning and opened immediately. Then Gan Ning took the lead and rushed in with a small boat.
As soon as he got ashore, Gan Ning commanded the troops to set fire to the tent and supplies and rush to the patrol team. He himself rushed towards the place where Zhang Yun's tent was with his personal guards.
As expected, as Gan Ning expected, the Xiangyang army was almost defeated.
For a moment, the soldiers could not find the general, and the general could not find the soldiers.
Many Xiangyang soldiers who stayed on the boat overnight untied their reins as soon as possible and planned to escape from the water camp.
A moment later, there were also shouts of killing in the village gate of Lu Camp. It was obvious that the two thousand warriors of Zhou Yu's troops who had been put down had also arrived at the battlefield.
As a result, the chaos in the Xiangyang military camp became even more intense.
It’s not that the generals wanted to deal with the defeated soldiers to block the attack, but this part of the Xiangyang army had just been expanded twice, and it was really incomparable to the old soldiers under Huang Zu and Cai Mao.
If it is a face-to-face battle, they will continue to fight because of training. But now he was suddenly attacked at night, and the other party set fire to kill people everywhere in his own water and land battalions. In this case, it would be quite a test of the officers' team.
Unfortunately, most of the officers under Zhang Yun are greedy and incompetent, otherwise the warning measures would not be in vain.
Gan Ning and other heroes divided into 100 people and rushed everywhere. The primary goal was to gather the officers. Wherever Xiangyang County began to gather, they rushed over and would never give up until they broke up.
As expected, Zhang Yun could not organize a decent defense at all, let alone counterattack.
When the sky turned white, many ships had already sailed out of the camp, trying to take the opportunity to escape.
It was exactly the same as Gan Ning thought. Only these ships sailed upstream, and some rushed downstream, but they all collided with Zhu Huan and Chen Wu who were prepared.
Although there were not many large ships in the two units, all of them were equipped with slap rods, which was easy to deal with the Xiangyang Army's large ships.
The war lasted until the morning before it came to an end. Zhang Yunben wanted to surrender, but was not recognized by the soldiers of Gan Ning's troops. He was stabbed in the head and was seriously injured. I don't know if he could survive.
The rest of the troops, except for the thousands who broke through the land, all surrendered.
In this battle of Gan Ning, more than 10,000 prisoners were captured, more than 1,000 warships of all sizes were burned, hundreds of them were burned, and thousands of people were killed, drowned, and burned them, even on land. The thousands of people who broke through the siege may not be able to escape.
Hanchuan is surrounded by large lakes, with only one land connection.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Gan Ning has the advantage of the navy. As long as he doesn't want to let the other party go, these thousands of people are just turtles in the jar.
Gan Ning originally wanted to continue pursuing the defeated generals, but suddenly remembered Liu Feng's teachings to him. Thinking of Zhu Huan and Chen Wu's obedience and cooperation this time, he changed his mind.
After calling Zhu Huan and Chen Wu, Gan Ning praised the two of them very much, and then ordered: "Xue Mu, Zi Lie, there are still thousands of remaining soldiers heading north along the Avenue this morning. I guess I want to escape to Anlu. You and the other two can go north along the Han River to encircle and block the enemy. Don’t let the thousands of remaining soldiers go." Zhu Huan and Chen Wu were surprised at once. They had been long. When I heard about Gan Ning’s reputation as domineering, I really didn’t expect that the other party would share the credit, and it was such a reward that was easy to do.
The two of them tentatively refused, but unexpectedly Gan Ning lost his temper and immediately did not dare to give in and retreat.
After seeing off Zhu Huan and Chen Wu, Gan Ning sat in the cabin and had a headache about how to write a document for victory.
This document is not only for the sake of victory, but also for the preliminary preparation of the contributions of each department. This time, in addition to Zhu Huan and Chen Wu, the two thousand warriors helped by Zhou Yu were also extremely useful.
**
Sun Ce and Huan Jie went to the county government together.
Zhang Xian was very surprised at Huan Jie's visit. Although the war has temporarily disappeared, there are so many affairs in the county government. Huan Jie has been busy dealing with these complicated funerals. Except for Zhang Xian who has something to call, he has already I haven't come to the county government for many days.
However, Zhang Xian trusted Huan Jie very much. When he heard that the other party was visiting, he immediately invited him into the bedroom to meet him.
Huan Jie led Sun Ce all the way into the bedroom, and Zhang Yi was standing beside Zhang Xian to serve.
Zhang Yi is indeed filial, but he is not at the point of being invincible. The reason why he appears here is because someone reports that he is coming from Huanjie and leads Sun Ce together.
"Boxu, you are here."
Zhang Xian's health has recovered a lot. Although he still can't manage government affairs, it is at least much better than before when he can't get out of bed.
Zhang Yi beside him also hurriedly got up and saluted to Huan Jie in an unconscious way: "Duke Huan."
Huan Jie first bowed to Zhang Xian, then returned Zhang Yi's favor, and then he was solemnly concerned about the matter. He said, "Xie is a famous man for his whole life!" Zhang Xian was shocked, and he didn't expect Huan Jie to say such words.
"What does Bo Xu mean?"
Huan Jie walked forward, bowed to Zhang Xian again, then shook his sleeves, and pointed at Sun Ce with his hand, saying, "Mr. Sun Bofu came to the army for thousands of miles, regardless of his own safety, and stayed with us to go to the county troubles during the Linxiang beacon. Now that the war has stopped, the Jingbei Army has just evacuated the city, and the Lord of the Mansion does not think about how to dispatch troops and generals to pursue Jing. The thief in the north took away the military power from Bo Fu. Isn’t the Duke afraid of making fun of the knowledgeable people in the world? How can the Duke explain to the left general? ”
Zhang Xian's eyes flashed with shame. He was strong and could not rub sand in his eyes. But it was precisely this personality that made him very clear about how excessive what he was doing. Zhang Yi beside him was panicked and opened his mouth several times, but he didn't stop talking. "Mr. Fu, Jie just got a message." Huan Jie then said: "The Zuo General Zhouling has won a great victory, and has broken through the two major naval armies in Jingbei. Now it is on the river. There is only Yunfan of the Yangzhou navy."
"What! ?"
Zhang Xian and Zhang Yi both changed their expressions. If Zhang Xian was still surprised and ashamed, Zhang Yi was mixed with surprise, fear and guilt.
"Is this matter serious?" Zhang Xian confirmed in disbelief: "The Jingbei Navy has tens of thousands, and has been through the battlefield for a long time. Huang Chengde, a major general of Jingxiang, and many of his generals are all me. The heroes in the state, and the Yangzhou navy was just established, can it really be...? "
Zhang Xian didn't finish his words, obviously it was difficult to decide the words. "Mr. The Yangzhou army has already reached outside Baqiu City." Huan Jie's words have not ended yet, and he continued, "Now the Jingbei Army is in a dilemma, and Bo Fu is about to come. Xiang elites followed and attacked, delaying the opponent's marching speed. In this way, they could cooperate with the Yangzhou troops to annihilate the Jingbei army at the shore of Dongting Lake. "
"This..." Zhang Xian looked embarrassed and understood Huan Jie's intention. He was naturally worried that General Zuo would be punished.
Zhang Yi suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowed to Zhang Xian, "It's all the child who is unfilial, it's because the child is worried that the Jingbei army's retreat is fake, but it's actually a trap, so he withdrew Bo Fu's military power. "
"You! You're confused!"
Seeing his son coming out to save the situation, Zhang Xian pressed his guilt on the other party's head and immediately expressed his opinion: "Since that's the case, please Bo Fu selected elite troops and went out of the city to pursue them. He must keep Kuai Yue and other thieves in Jingnan to avenge the innocent people and scholars they slaughtered."
Sun Ce was overjoyed, and saw Huan Jie nodding at him quietly, and immediately received the order and said, "Don't worry, Master, Ce will do his best to report to the Lord and the Chief Corner, and the people, and will never let your trust down. ”
Zhang Xian pretended to be overjoyed, and then asked Zhang Yi to write an order and use the seal.
Then, Huan Jie sent Sun Ce out of the bedroom, and after watching him leave, he returned to the bedroom.
