Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 900 Ambush
Mu Jing decided to take the water route, because in the south, the water route is faster than the land route. The land route has too many mountain roads and too few roads, which is not conducive to the march of the army, so the speed is naturally much slower.

As for the waterway, from Jiangyang to the south along the water, the most important waterway is naturally the Jinsha River. As the most important tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Jinsha River covers the entire southwest region and is also the most important water flow area in the two counties of Qianwei and Yizhou.

From the south of this river, it is continuous and can go straight to Dianchi City in Yizhou.

And Dianchi Lake is the county seat of Yizhou County, the old nest of Yong Kai, the old nest of the wealthy clan in Yizhou County, and the most important main city of the entire Yizhou County.

"The applicability of this two-toothed warship is good!" The sky is high, and Mu Jing is dressed in a strong outfit, standing on the deck, heading towards the wind, the cloak behind him is fluttering, his eyes are scanning the front, and said with a smile .

At his feet is the two-tooth warship.

The double-toothed warship is currently the most innovative warship developed by the Minghou Mansion. It is between the Louchuan and the Fighting Ship. It is larger than the Fighting Ship and smaller than the Louchuan. In terms of applicability, it is very suitable for some river warfare.

"My lord, the Shuangya battleship is currently the most important warship in our Jingping Navy!" Gan Ning replied, "Its applicability on rivers is actually comparable to that of a large ship. Of course, it is still inferior in terms of combat effectiveness and operation." Those who go upstairs can aim to be flexible. This double-decker battleship has great impact and is equipped with small catapults. Whether it is a bed crossbow or a bow and arrow, it is very good. If it is a combination of three ships, Will be able to compete with Lou Chuan!"

"How many twin-tooth warships do you have equipped now?" Mu Jing asked.

It wasn't long before this kind of warship was developed. When it was launched in Jiangzhou, Mu Jing happened to be there to inspect the Jiangzhou Army Workshop. It was only a matter of time, and he was not able to visit the launching ceremony.

This was also the first time he had seen the Twin Fang Warship.

"Currently there are only three ships!"

Hearing this, Gan Ning smiled wryly and said, "The construction of this two-tooth warship is very difficult. The Armament Department has repeatedly urged, and the Armament Shipbuilding Workshop has already rushed to work. It can be built in such a short time. We are already very satisfied with the three warships, of course, at present, our warships have not yet accepted the test of the battlefield, and the strength of the two-tooth warships is still unknown!"

"Even if the Military Industry Division wants to produce on a large scale, they must have the reaction of this kind of warship before they dare to produce on a large scale!"

"That's right!"

Mu Ding nodded: "Master Jingping's opponent is not here after all!"

In the southwest, you can talk about the navy, but even if there are warships, there are very few. The use of the Jingping Navy is actually just buying an insurance to ensure that the two waterways can go hand in hand, rather than letting the enemy take advantage of the loopholes.

"You did a good job in the training of the sailors!"

Mu Jing glanced over, and the sailor was much more energetic than when he went north to inspect, and he also found a detail, these soldiers had begun to obey Gan Ning.

Gan Ning is an airborne general, he has no foundation in the Jingping Navy, and there are not many people who obey him. It is also his ability to conquer the hearts of a group of generals in a short period of time.

At least it proves that Mu Jing did not misunderstand the person, this is a general.

"The end general can't do enough!"

Gan Ning smiled wryly, and said: "Currently, the combat power of the Jingping Navy is only [-]% to [-]%. After all, it is our first time serving as the commander-in-chief of a large army. We are not very familiar with many matters, and this is also my first time going out. I am in a hurry. The leader will affect the morale of the army, but it cannot give the soldiers absolute trust!"

"Everything has a process, you have to believe in yourself, as long as you believe that you are the strongest, that's enough!"

Mu Jing smiled and comforted him.

"Yes!"

Gan Ning nodded.

"March map!"

Mu Jing let out a low snort.

"Here!" Gan Ning said to the soldiers around him, and directly took out a marching map from the cylinder on their backs, and spread it in front of Mujing.

"Where are we now?"

Mu Jing asked.

"Here!" Gan Ning pointed: "The marching speed of the navy is not fast. We have walked for a day and have entered Nanguang and are heading towards Hanyang. Once we enter Hanyang, we will be approaching Yizhou County!"

"The waterway is spacious, will you encounter enemies?"

"As long as there is a road, there must be bandits!" Gan Ning said, "As far as I know, Yizhou County does not have any navy force, but there should be some pirates along the road!"

"Then it's time to practice!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "We should also do something good for the common people, and wipe out all the water bandits along the road, so that there is no one left!"

"promise!"

Gan Ning summoned two naval divisions and two battalions, each led a double-tooth warship, five soybean milk ships, and more than fifty warships.

Because of this, the trip was delayed a bit.

Along the way, they attacked frantically and wiped out the water bandits who were begging for food on the Jinsha River. The largest of these water bandits was only two or three boats, and some basically used fishing boats as warships to attack. Caravan back and forth.

After this battle, all the water bandits in Qianwei's territory have been wiped out, even if some escaped from the net, they dare not make a living on this river.

When Jing Ping and the others arrived in Hanyang, it was already five days later.

"Report to the lord!"

As soon as the navy set up camp, Jing Wusi's messenger had already come to the door: "Have you discovered the movement of Yizhou soldiers?"

"Say!"

"To the east, we are heading towards Zangzang!"

"Towards Zang Zang?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "It seems that the news of the defeat in the Zang Cang War has not reached Yizhou County yet!"

"In the territory of Zangzhang, General Huang Zhong ordered that the whole county be closed and no entry or exit is allowed. Even if someone wants to report the news, basically they can't get out. Now General Huang Zhong is still rectifying the front of the army, but the Pioneer Fighting Tiger Camp has already left. Zang Zang, I'm getting closer to the lord!"

"very good!"

Mu Jing nodded: "Order Jingwu Division Nanzhong Sijun Town to pay attention to the news of Yizhou County soldiers at all times. If there is any news, report it immediately without delay!"

"promise!"

Jing Wu ordered the envoy to go away.

"Gan Ning, what do you think?" Mu Jing asked Gan Ning. During this period of time, he and Gan Ning got along day and night, but he knew Gan Ning a little bit. In history, Gan Ning was born as a bandit, but he did not trace his earlier background. He was originally a disciple of the gentry, but he had no choice but to fall into the grass and become a bandit. Whether it is his attainments in the art of war or his ability in martial arts, he is one of the best.

"My lord, at present, only the main force of the two battalions of the Dongzhou Army on the front line is on the edge of our Yizhou County, and they are watched by the barbarian army. If the main force goes south or withdraws from Zangcang, Yizhou will definitely be disturbed." !"

Gan Ning carefully analyzed: "The strength of Yizhou should not be underestimated. They are local snakes after all. They may not be better informed than us outside the news, but here, their news may not be behind. As long as we deploy large-scale troops into Yizhou , they must be aware of it!"

"You mean, if I want to ambush this army of county soldiers, there is basically no hope!"

"Neither!"

Gan Ning shook his head: "On the contrary, I think there is a great chance. The waterway happens to be the weakest point in Yizhou. We can ambush along the waterway. As long as they get out of the Yizhou Army, between Yizhou and Zangcang, If you catch them off guard, even if you can't eat all of them, you can still hurt their vitality!"

"it is good!"

Mu Jing laughed loudly: "I will entrust you with the deployment of this battle, and I will be responsible for personally supervising the battle!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust!"

Gan Ning's eyes were bright, and he cupped his hands and said, "The last general will never let the lord down!"

Gan Ning rebelled against Bajun in the first place because of the Gan clan. At the time, Mujing just plotted against Yizhou, so it was a hit-and-miss match, but no matter how you say it, he surrendered to the Minghou Mansion in the name of a traitor, just like his background, Even if it is used, it cannot be easily used.

But Mu Jing didn't have the slightest grudge against this point, he really valued him, and dared to entrust him with heavy responsibilities, that's how much trust he had.

One must know that the leading generals of the Seventh Army and Seventh Battalion of the Mu Army did not earn their names in vain, especially the leading generals of the Seventh Army, no matter which one they were, were battle-tested generals who had led tens of thousands of troops in countless battles.

He is the only one who is just a bandit and joins the army for the first time.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

He had to prove one thing to the world, that Mujing did not misunderstand people, his achievement was Mujing's knowledge and use of people, and his failure was Mujing's failure to understand people.

........................

A force of about 8000 soldiers and horses is marching in a hurry.

"Captain, after passing the front, we will enter Danzhi!"

"Pause and rest!"

"promise!"

When the soldiers heard the military order, they began to rest on the spot. After driving for half a day, they were all exhausted, and they closed their eyes back to back to save energy.

"Captain, why do we need reinforcements?" The lieutenant suddenly asked Yong Hai.

"Yizhou and our Yizhou are in the same vein. This is a matter of death. Even the prefect has to send troops for reinforcements. Otherwise, many people will be cold-hearted. How can we unite and fight against the enemies who invaded our hometown! "

Yong Hai is not very old, he is in his early 30s, he is a young man, he is not very strong, and he looks more refined, like a scholar.

But he is indeed the head of the three generals under Yong Kai's command.

He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and entered Yizhou County to practice at the age of ten. It took 12 years to experience a small soldier, corporal leader, captain, general, military marquis, military master, military Sima, and captain.

Since the age of 22, he has been in charge of Yizhou County soldiers, which is Yong Kai's biggest reliance on Yongchang in Yizhou.

"March map!" After Yong Hai sat down and rested for a while, he recovered a lot of physical strength, and then gave a low drink, and the soldiers next to him sent the march map.

"Painting to the past, it is Yelang, who is about to enter the territory of Zangcang, but there is no news of him coming back, so I feel a little uneasy!"

Yong Hai looked at the marching map and said.

"disturbed?"

More than a dozen military princes looked at each other, and they rarely saw such a hesitant expression on the face of the chief general.

"It stands to reason that since Zang was besieged by the shepherd army, some scouts who asked for help broke out at this time, but we have never encountered half of them. Isn't this very strange? The most important thing is that my scouts released Hundreds of miles away, but no trace of Mu Jun has been found!"

Yong Hai said: "If they attack Zang Qie Lan, they will not fail to guard against us, I am worried..."

"worry about what?"

The lieutenant asked.

"Worried about whether Lancheng has ended the war at this time!"

"Impossible, we asked for help from Zang, and we immediately dispatched troops. In just a few days, Can Zang be unable to stop it? The Mu army is so powerful!"

"Don't underestimate the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains people!"

Yong Hai said.

"Could it be that Qi Lan has surrendered to Minghou's Mansion?" a military lord said suddenly.

"Shouldn't be!"

Yong Hai shook his head a bit: "I met Zhu Bao once, but he doesn't seem like someone who would surrender directly. The Marquis Ming's Mansion is too strong, and the trend of the Southern Expedition has been made clear. Having said that, they are not so easy to compromise, Zhu Bao will not fail to understand this, if he dares to surrender, it is tantamount to surrendering the body!"

"Then what do we do?"

"It's time for reinforcements, and reinforcements are needed, but..." Yong Hai said: "We have to be prepared!"

Yong Hai pondered for a while, and said: "Our troops will be divided into two groups, and the front and rear will respond. The speed can be a little slower, and we will never rush. If there is any change, we will respond immediately. This will better ensure the safety of the march!"

"promise!"

......................................................

night, quiet.

Linjiang water, this is not a very big river, it can be regarded as the oblique flow of the Jinsha River. It comes out of the southern suburbs of Hanyang, goes down the river, and runs through the area between Zangzhang and Yizhou counties.

"Shouldn't there be a bridge here?"

Thousands of troops stood on the bank, looking at the river.

"The wayfinding scouts reported back like this!"

"Damn it, where is the river!"

"The opposite is Yelang, what should we do now, should we take a detour?"

"Crossing the river, the captain said, meet at Yelang before dawn!"

The chief general is the Sima of Yizhou County Bing, and also Yonghai's deputy general. His name is Chen Song. He is a barbarian, but he grew up in Yong's family and is a retainer of Yong's family.

"Cut wood to make a raft, and cross the river. The river is not big, so it shouldn't take a long time!"

"Yes!"

Thousands of soldiers quickly got busy, and there was a forest nearby, and their movements were very fast.

At dawn, there were more than [-] small rafts on the bank, and they began to prepare to cross the river. The width of this river is not very large. They can complete the crossing in only one hour, and there is not much danger.

However…………

Just as the soldiers of Yizhou County began to cross the river, warships suddenly appeared on the left and right sides of the river. These warships came quickly and rushed over violently.

"Fire arrows!"

A rain of arrows covered them.

"what!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Defend now!"

"Go ashore, go ashore quickly!"

Yizhou County soldiers reacted quickly, and a group of people who were crossing the river suffered heavy casualties, but the people on the bank quickly defended themselves.

"Why is there a navy?"

Chen Song's pupils changed color, and he reacted quickly: "Quick, back up, back up quickly!"

Then he yelled again: "Light up the wolf smoke and inform the captain that there is an enemy attack!"
