Chapter 25
The moment Guan Yu's army appeared, Sun Quan's vanguard army completely declared failure.

At this time, Liu Bei also climbed directly to the high platform of the water village, took the drumsticks from the soldiers, and personally beat the drums to cheer the soldiers in front of the formation.

The sound of majestic drums exploded on the battlefield, and the encirclement force completely surrounded the leaderless Jiangdong front, making it impossible to escape.

Those who jumped into the water in an attempt to escape, those who fought to the death and were beheaded, and those who knelt down and begged for mercy in despair.
Sun Quan also received the news about Ling Tong. When he knew that his general Ling Cao had died in the battle, he felt a little tight in the chest and short of breath, and almost lost his breath.

Jingzhou has been fighting since his father. His father continued to fight without his eldest brother. Now he has taken up the legacy of his father and brother and continues to fight.

But in this first battle, he directly lost one of his generals. This is simply unbelievable.

"Impossible!" Sun Quan roared angrily, "Kuntao wants to be brave, and he must take the lead in every conquest. How could he be killed by a mere Liu Bei in front of the battle array?

If they dare to kill me, Ling Cao, I will avenge him! "

The furious Sun Quan once again pushed away the grieving Ling Tong and gave the order for the third time.

"The army continues to charge. We must defeat the enemy and avenge General Ling Cao!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan also tore off the cloak behind him, then climbed up to the watchtower in two or three steps, and directly blasted the soldier in charge of beating the drum down.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong. Dong-dong-dong-dong."

The sound of beating drums at random intervals also came from Sun Quan's hands. At this moment, the Jiangdong navy also increased its speed again and rushed towards the chaotic battlefield.

"Military advisor, look!" Sun Qian, who was watching the battle from behind, was shocked when he saw that Sun Quan not only did not evacuate, but instead charged towards him, "If the soldiers and horses from Jiangdong charge towards us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take the lead."

"Don't worry! Sun Quan is no match for Xingba because he is not good at commanding. We just need to evacuate in time. What is Gan Xingba doing!"

At this time, Kong Ming has begun to try to gradually let go of his hands and feet. Compared with his previous life, he had to do everything himself, now he does not need to be so tired.

"If Liang had these two generals in his hands, why would he have to do everything himself?"

But before the thought passed through his mind, he saw Gan Ning's second characteristic.

Disrespect the general's orders!

Although no order from Zhuge Liang came, Gan Ning and Guan Yu were not unaware of Sun Quan's movements.

When Jiangdong's army rushed over, Gan Ning responded immediately.

"Wive the flag and tell General Guan to get out of the way and let these defeated troops leave!"

Gan Ning's order quickly reached Guan Yu. After confirming the order again, Guan Yu frowned slightly.

"General." As Guan Yu's temporary deputy general, Mei Cheng did not dare to give orders without authorization at this time, and could only turn his attention to Guan Yu.

"Seeing that victory is in sight, let these people go now."

"Let go!" Guan Yu interrupted Meicheng's words with a sharp shout. Guan Yu was just proud but not stupid. Nowadays, he is indeed not as good as Gan Ning, an orthodox person like Gan Ning, in water battles and even command.

He has become more aware of this in the past two years.

Following Guan Yu's order, the naval forces that had encircled and began to strangle them moved away from both sides, leaving the Jiangdong naval forward's way of retreat again.

In this way, those soldiers who were already completely desperate once again saw hope of survival.

"Run!" I don't know who shouted first, and more and more soldiers followed suit. Dozens of warships rushed out of the gap.

Gan Ning, on the other hand, joined Guan Yu and others to chase after them. Arrows kept shooting at them, seeming to force them to go faster and faster.

"Xingba, didn't the military advisor tell me to evacuate immediately after intercepting and killing Jiangdong's forwards? We must not continue to pursue them?"

"The military orders from abroad will be ignored!" Gan Ning sneered directly, "The military advisor is worried that our soldiers and horses have not been trained and will not be able to fight for a long time!
So let me wait for a small victory and leave, and then rely on the water stronghold to continue the defense. After this victory, we can revive the morale of the Jiangxia navy, which will help us delay the battlefield.But now the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. At this time, Sun Quan rushes in blindly. Their ships are already loose, and now they just charge without command.

Once their own soldiers and horses attack them head-on, they can be completely confused. Even the crossbowmen will be ineffective because they are afraid of shooting their own people.

Water battles focus primarily on arrows. Their crossbowmen are useless, so what kind of water battles do they have? "

After Gan Ning finished speaking, he raised his arms and shouted again.

"Commanders, kill the enemy!"

With Gan Ning's roar, the speed of the pursuit also increased again, and the "three parties" soldiers and horses quickly collided on the river.

Sure enough, as Gan Ning expected, Sun Quan's army collided directly with the fleeing forward without the command of a general.

It was the first time for Sun Quan to command such a battle, and he did not dare to shoot them directly without being ruthless. The panicked troops who were defeated without command would not directly bypass them.

The two collided with each other, and the two battleships even directly rammed and sunk each other.

For a time, Sun Quan's main army, although there were many soldiers, horses, and larger ships, was in chaos, with no coordination and command between them.

Sun Quan's order also completely lost its effectiveness.

On the other hand, Gan Ning used the two warships of Mao Tu and Zou Ge operated by Jinfan veterans as the vanguard. Guan Yu led most of the navy to follow behind him in fighting ships.

He directly broke through the chaotic naval defense, and then rushed towards Sun Quan's warship.

At this time, Sun Quan, who was put at a loss by his own warships, saw Gan Ning charging towards him like crazy. He ignored the others and immediately issued the last wrong order.

"Rescue, let the generals come to rescue!"

This order directly became the trigger for the defeat of Jiangdong Navy. The generals who were not too affected on the outside immediately rushed in with their warships after seeing the flag waved.

This directly caused Jiangdong's army to become a mess, and the entire river was blocked by Jiangdong's warships.

They were unable to advance or retreat from each other. Gan Ning was blocked in the end, but they completely lost their ability to resist, allowing Gan Ning and Guan Yu to charge and capture a lot.
Sun Quan's improper command in this battle caused his warships to become entangled with each other. Gan Ning first shot and killed Ling Cao, and then followed and pursued him, killing no less than a thousand enemy troops in total.

They captured more than two thousand soldiers and more than a hundred warships, captured two flags, and destroyed dozens of Jiangdong warships.

Ling Cao's son Ling Tong avenged his father and in order to protect Sun Quan, he took the initiative to fight Gan Ning at the last moment but was seriously injured by Gan Ning.

If Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai hadn't arrived in time and desperately escorted him out, this future famous general would probably be gone today.

But Ling Tong ran away, and Zhou Tai was slashed in the chest by Guan Yu who came over. Even if he could not die, this expedition had nothing to do with him.

Gan Ning finally shot a cold arrow directly at Sun Quan, but Chen Duan next to Sun Quan noticed it and pushed Sun Quan away.

But he was seriously injured by Gan Ning, and he didn't know if this one of the masterminds during Sun Ce's period could still save his life.
If Sun Ce had a spirit in the sky at this time and saw that his brother was able to command the battlefield like this, I don't know if he would be so angry that he would jump out of the grave and take this thing away.
 In my previous novels, I always said that Gan Ning and Guan Yu were a perfect match.

  Because both of these guys have one characteristic, that is, they don’t know who the coach is even though they are doing it.

  Not to mention Guan Yu, this guy changed his temper after being beaten by Cao Jun in the sixth year of Jian'an and began to transform from a fighting general to a coach.

  Gan Ning gave Sun Quan a headache every time he went on an expedition. No one knew how he got himself high, and then he started to play freely without caring.

  As for the general's order, at that moment Gan Ning felt that he was the general.

  For this matter, in history, Lu Meng often held Sun Quan's thigh to plead with Gan Ning.

  But in other words, if this guy didn't have this characteristic, Sun Quan's battlefield winning rate would have been even lower.
