Chapter 405 Cao Cao: What happened?
"Captain, the scouts came to report that Gan Xingba appeared at the gate of the enemy camp on the north bank." Li Yan walked into the Chinese army's tent and said to Zhou Yu.
"Gan Xingba?" Zhou Yu frowned in a rare way. This guy is not easy to deal with. Until now, Zhou Yu has not fully analyzed the secrets of water warfare revealed in the Lujiang River water battle. , the most important of which are the cloud gas channel solidification secret technique, the cloud gas reserve secret technique, and the group defense style.
Unfortunately, until now, Zhou Yu still has not analyzed these three secret techniques. It is not that he cannot analyze them, but that Zhou Yu has been busy with various things in the past month or two and has no time to analyze these three techniques. For secret skills, you can only find some secret skills or elite talents that can play a similar role to replace them.
However, what really makes Zhou Yu feel troublesome about Gan Ning is that he is not sure what Gan Ning is thinking. Gan Ning's thinking is very out of the ordinary. Zhou Yu always has a way of facing Gan Ning when facing Sun Ce. The feeling of time.
Zhou Yu knew Sun Ce very well, and it was precisely because of his understanding that Zhou Yu knew what kind of wisdom was hidden inside such a seemingly brainless guy. What they show on daily basis is indeed their truest side, but it is not everything.
"I have personally gone to see it. Gan Xingba indeed appeared in the camp on the other side openly and honestly." Li Yan said with some seriousness. He, who had been hit hard in the past few days, has now begun to He faced up to himself and the world-famous civil servants and generals, but he still didn't make a choice between inner energy and spiritual power.
"It seems that the other side is about to start a large-scale crossing of the river. I just don't know what surprises Yang Ziyu and Gan Xingba have prepared for us." Zhou Yu did not mention Cao Cao and others. Maybe the abilities of these few The best in the world, but is he, Zhou Yu, weak?
What's more, can these people really show their strongest strength under Yang Jizuo? Or do you dare to show your strongest strength? They are surrendered generals after all.
"Don't pay attention to Gan Xingba. He took the initiative to appear in front of us just to create psychological pressure on us." With his understanding of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu directly understood Gan Ning's thoughts, although he did not There is no way to confirm this, but Zhou Yu is very sure that Gan Ning most likely thinks so.
"They have the surprises they prepared, and we also have our preparations to deal with everything." Zhou Yu said calmly to Li Yan, don't worry about what the other side wants to do, just do your own thing now.
"No." Looking at Zhou Yu's calm expression, Li Yan's nervous mood relaxed. Although he shouldn't say this, Li Yan really felt a little relaxed. This feeling of someone in front of him was something he had never felt before. I really feel nothing.
——
"It seems that the other side is also ready for war. The atmosphere brewing in the air is getting more and more tense." Yang Ji stood on the high platform and observed the vast sea on the other side. Camp, he said casually to Cao Cao Cheng Yu who was beside him.
“Gan Xingba appeared in our camp openly, and then went out openly. It would be strange if the other side was unprepared.
And we are always at war and never stop. "Cheng Yu shook his head and said, although he had long known that Yang Ji would fight Zhou Yu with serious troops, he did not expect that he would be so serious.
Although there has been no large-scale battle between the two sides in the past few days, although they are separated by the Yangtze River, However, the scout battle between the two sides was fierce. After all, there were not many scouts who could ignore the natural dangers of the Yangtze River.
"Isn't this the purpose of Xing Ba? "Yang Ji smiled. No matter whether the other side will guard against the Qingzhou fleet commanded by Gan Ning, Gan Ning has already achieved his goal.
If Zhou Yu deploys troops to guard against the Qingzhou fleet, then they can be used to fight against Yang Ji The Army Group Army here has fewer troops. If the Qingzhou Fleet is not guarded, Gan Ning asked Tai Shici to take his marines ashore and rush directly to Zhou Yu's camp to see if Zhou Yu's army would be in chaos.
“People should not be judged by their appearance. "Cheng Yu shook his head. His first impression of Gan Ning was that he was unreliable. When Gan Ning rarely made a battle plan, Gan Ning would think of it for a moment and then rush forward. Such a general is really Can he become a good general? Cheng Yu is skeptical about this.
However, Gan Ning's record and active thinking forced Cheng Yu to admit one thing. There are really people who can rely on their own intuition to win battles that they shouldn't win. For someone like him who is good at planning, A heavy blow to the wise.
A carefully planned plan was destroyed by the enemy's intuition. Who are you going to ask to reason with this? Of course, intuition is not omnipotent. After all, no matter how powerful your intuition is, it must have the strength to break the situation. If the strength is not enough to break the situation, it is easy to fall into it.
"So, just believe in the Qingzhou fleet commanded by Gan Xingba. He will not let the Jiangxia navy hinder our cross-river war." Yang Ji turned to look at the vast river that had come into view. Said the Qingzhou fleet, which was running rampant.
"Why is the Qingzhou Fleet here now?" Cheng Yu said in shock. It seems that the time they agreed to start the war is not today, right?
"Ha, it is indeed Gan Xingba, he caught it at this opportunity." Yang Ji turned to look at the Jiangxia navy on the other side who was changing defenses. Zhou Yu seemed to have lost track of the Qingzhou fleet.
"Commander, send the order to beat the drums and gather the troops, the war is about to begin!" Yang Ji suddenly turned around and shouted to the communications soldier not far away.
Whether Zhou Yu did it on purpose or not, when the Qingzhou fleet appeared in the battlefield waters, the war between them and Zhou Yu had already begun.
The sound of drums on the north bank was an order from Yang Ji who was gathering troops and horses to prepare for war; on the south bank, the Jiangxia navy, which was changing defenses, did not fall into panic, but quickly integrated the fleet and started to go to Qingzhou As the fleet sailed away, bursts of drumbeats also came from Zhou Yu's camp.
After the three drums, Yang Ji's army has been assembled and is waiting for Yang Ji's order to cross the river and go to the south bank to fight.
Looking at Zhou Yu's camp on the south bank, Zhou Yu's army has already assembled. Although the assembled army seems a bit messy, it has finally assembled, and the speed of assembly is no slower than that of Yang Ji's army on the other side. .
At this time, the Jiangxia navy has begun to fight with the Qingzhou fleet, but it does not look like it is going to hold back the Qingzhou fleet, but to die. The Jiangxia navy without Zhou Yu does not have the Qingzhou fleet commanded by Commander Gan Ning. opponent.
"Captain, the army on the other side has been assembled and is ready to start crossing the river." Li Yan quickly passed through the slightly chaotic team and reported to Zhou Yu who was standing on the high platform.
"How do you think the army on the other side will cross the river?" Zhou Yu didn't care about what Li Yan just said, but asked another question, a question that puzzled him.
Li Yan followed Zhou Yu's gaze and looked to the other side. He had thought about this issue before. Originally, he thought that Yang Ji would use the Qingzhou fleet to transport the army. After all, the rolling Yangtze River had no bridges for Yang Ji's army to pass. Since ancient times, There is no other way to cross the Yangtze River except by boat crossing. However, Yang Ji's operation now makes Li Yan a little confused. Based on this, he traced the Yangtze River upstream and downstream for ten miles. The scouts sent out did not find even a single warship used to cross the river, not even those small streams, rivers and lakes. Li Yan sent people to investigate.
But no, the scouts sent out did not find a single warship that could be used to cross the river, except for the Qingzhou fleet sailing on the river and the fishing boats used by surrounding fishermen for fishing.
Fishing boat? Don't be ridiculous, how can a fishing boat that has not been tempered stop the archer army's fire? And that's an army of 60,000. If you want to rely on fishing boats to cross the river, how many fishing boats will you need?
"I don't know." Li Yan shook his head. He couldn't figure out how the other side would cross the river when there was no boat, and he had to force the crossing against the army on the south bank.
"Yes, the Qingzhou fleet is restrained by the Jiangxia navy. What method will he use to cross the river without recruiting fishing boats?" Zhou Yu couldn't help asking.
Zhou Yu looked at the Jiangxia Navy that was running around on the Yangtze River carrying the Qingzhou Fleet. Zhou Yu knew very well that the Jiangxia Navy without him was no match for the Qingzhou Fleet, so the battle plan he formulated for the Jiangxia Navy was They refused to engage in battle and dragged the Qingzhou fleet with them.
For this reason, he modified the secret technique of waves to make it more suitable for inland water warfare. In addition, the warships of the Jiangxia Navy are basically flat-bottomed boats. The advantages of inland navigation are greater than the sharp-bottomed boats of the Qingzhou Fleet. Some.
Because of the existence of the repulsion force, the Jiangxia navy can ignore arrows below a certain level. If the upper limit of repulsion interference is exceeded, small boats and flat-bottomed boats can turn around to dodge powerful arrows.
Of course, if the Jiangxia Navy only has these means, it can only barely contain the Qingzhou Fleet. If Gan Ning divides his forces, the Jiangxia Navy cannot stop it. Therefore, when necessary, Jiangxia The navy was going to launch a boarding battle, and the purpose was to prevent the Qingzhou fleet from transporting troops across the river.
However, Zhou Yu observed the situation on the other side from a distance. It seemed that Yang Ji did not need the Qingzhou fleet to help cross the river. So why didn't Yang Ji start a war a few days ago? Is it to let the soldiers rest for a few days?
However, it seems that it is not that far from Xiapi to Guangling. Do the soldiers on the opposite side really need several days of rest?
Zhou Yu couldn't help but have a frightening thought. Could Yang Ji on the opposite side be playing a trick on him? Otherwise, why would Yang Ji do this? The 60,000-strong army on the other side clearly can cross the Yangtze River without the Qingzhou fleet...
Zhou Yu does not believe that Yang Ji can find a way to cross the Yangtze River without ships within a few days. The inner energy with the ability to fly Being separated from the body does not require a boat to cross the river.
But, it can’t be that all the 60,000 troops on the opposite side are internal energy separated from the body, right? If this was the case, Zhou Yu thought it would be better to surrender earlier.
"It seems that it is some kind of elite talent and legion talent that can walk on the water, combined with some kind of Xuanxiang formation and super large water-walking secret technique." Zhou Yu sighed, and then thought of it again What, added: "It may also be spiritual talent."
Spiritual talent is not like legion talent and elite talent. Once awakened, it has the ability in a specific direction. The ability of spiritual talent is all kinds of strange and can make people float on the water. Standing up is not something difficult to understand.
Although an individual's spiritual talent cannot allow so many people to stand on the water at the same time, if combined with Xuanxiang or secret techniques that tread water, the ability of the spiritual talent can be spread out, and clouds can be used as energy sources, it should be possible for 60,000 people to stand on the water at the same time. If people cross the river at the same time and Yang Ji is on the opposite side, Zhou Yu believes that Yang Ji can do it.
“Are there any other spiritual talents and legion talents with this kind of ability?” Li Yan’s eyes widened. It turns out that there are such weird spiritual talents and legion talents in this world.
Li Yan couldn't help but worry about his spiritual talent and legion talent. Although he hadn't decided which one to choose, it didn't stop Li Yan from worrying about it. After all, he worked so hard to study and refine his inner talent. Qi is just for spiritual talent and legion talent.
It is also funny to say that Li Yan is so yearning for spiritual talents and legion talents, but in the end he cannot sense what type of spiritual talents or legion talents he will awaken in the future.
Maybe Li Yan cares too much about spiritual talents and legion talents, otherwise he has reached this point and it is impossible not to perceive the types of abilities of spiritual talents and legion talents.
Unless the spiritual talent or legion talent that Li Yan is about to awaken is some kind of passive talent, just like Chen Xi, who didn't even know what his spiritual talent was after awakening, let alone before awakening.
"Spiritual talents are all kinds of weird. It's not surprising that someone has awakened this ability." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, not realizing what Li Yan was worried about. After all, it's this time, where else can there be anything else? Focus on other things.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's organize troops to prevent the enemy from crossing the river." Zhou Yu looked at the Jiangxia Navy and Qingzhou Fleet who were still fighting, and turned to Li Yan and said.
"Promise." Li Yan responded quickly, saluted Zhou Yu and then turned around to organize troops to prevent the enemy from crossing the river.
"Hey, I hope you can use some normal means, otherwise I wouldn't know..." Zhou Yu looked to the other side and whispered, the wind muffled Zhou Yu's words.
——
"Hey, hey, why isn't that guy Gan Xingba still having a water fight with the Jiangxia Navy? Our army here has already been assembled. Why doesn't he hurry up and kill the Jiangxia Navy? Get them here and transport the troops." Cao Cao looked at the Qingzhou fleet that was still circling with the Jiangxia navy on the river, and shouted to Yang Ji with great dissatisfaction, although Cao Cao knew that it would be useless if he shouted, after all, Yang Ji was the commander. , qualified and capable of changing the combat plan at any time.
"What are you shouting for? The Qingzhou fleet is not needed for the army to cross the river, so let them circle in circles on the river." Yang Ji glared at Cao Cao. This guy seemed to have mutated.
"Huh? The army is crossing the river...can't use the Qingzhou fleet?" Cao Cao's mind is stuck. If there is no need for boats to cross the river, what will be used?
