Lu's relatives

Chapter 586
It is not unreasonable for Liu Biao's navy to dare to be called number one in the world.Regardless of the morale and equipment of the soldiers, the size and sharpness of the equipped warships, and the amount of supplies stored, they are worthy of the name of the elite.That's why before, even such heroes as the Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian and his son didn't have much favor on the river.

On the other hand, Qin Xu's side, even with the warships dispatched urgently from Jiankang, plus Gan Ning's two Jinfan warships, was more numerous than Huang Zu's. In terms of the size of the warship, compared with Huang Zu's Liu Biao navy, it is really not a grade.To be honest, even Gan Ning, if he hadn't been a little bit embarrassed by the words of the recruiter, what he wanted to do the most at this moment would be to take advantage of the slow speed of the other party to put distance between them as soon as possible.This has nothing to do with fighting for the first place. Instead of creating insignificant damage, it is better to avoid the reality and let it go, and then find the place after resting.

But Gan Ning still complied.Qianzhao didn't understand water warfare, and even had some misunderstandings about water warfare. Although Gan Ning and Qianzhao were at odds with each other, he wouldn't be vindictive about it.What Gan Ning was thinking about was that since he had already gotten into the trap and got into Qin Xu's boat, he had to come up with something he could get out of no matter what, so as not to lose face too much.There is still a rule in the rivers and lakes, one must show sincerity and ability to join a group, not to mention that it is not difficult to hear from the words of the recruit, so easily handing over more than ten ships and more than a thousand sailors to his own hands, Qin Xu's The air volume is not small.Gan Ning originally had the temperament of reciprocating, and now he has no intention of avoiding battles in order to preserve his strength.

"Emissary Qin said, let you all wait for someone to order?" Gan Ning looked at the clumps of flames that were approaching him from the upper reaches, which were exactly the wind lanterns on the prow of Huang Zu's warship, and followed Gan Ning's direction. Ning's experience has already calculated that Huang Zu's first ship has already reached the normal speed. If there is no accident, there is not enough time left for him.Seeing that the leader beside him was raising his head to measure the distance between the two armies, he closed his mouth wisely, just looked at Gan Ning's profile, waiting for a conclusion.This surprised Gan Ning, he turned his head and said to Qianzhao.

"That's right! My lord did say so! Let me wait on the river and follow your orders! But to be honest, I and my brothers really want to see Jinfan Ganning's ability!" Zhuanzhao is not at all pretentious, Speaking of Qin Xu's military order, the cynicism towards Gan Ning just now is gone, but the ending of the words still has a bit of a smell.

"How many soldiers does our army have now? How many ships are there?" Gan Ning could see that the move was because he lost face by turning forward, and wanted to get some benefits from words, otherwise he just needed to Accelerating the driving, preventing Gan Ning from having the slightest chance to show off, was nothing more than an easy task, and it made people unable to say anything.As for the speculation about what kind of trick is trying to frame him, Gan Ning has no doubts at all. Just kidding, he counted on a landlubber, and he once jumped into the river in front of his eyes. It is said that he scared half his life away. Playing tricks on yourself?But don't let Gan Ning think too highly of the move.Seeing that at this time, Qianzhao was acting as if he was waiting for orders, Gan Ning simply stopped being polite and asked.

"Before leaving this time, the general of the Zuo Army division allocated 500 sailors from Wu County, 300 auxiliary soldiers, eleven medium-sized warships, and five warships to our army. And the one hundred and three brothers who were 'invited' by you before... ahem, a total of one thousand one hundred and four brothers." It can be seen that it was really a lot of work before being recruited. With great effort, the data comes as soon as you open your mouth.

"Well, if you add the [-]-odd men in a certain unit, the number is still less than [-]. According to the news from Brother Su... General Su, Huang Zu's soldiers this time are at least [-] elite. I don’t know how many materials such as arrows and straw mats are left on our military ship?” Gan Ning frowned and asked.

"This..." Although Qianzhao really doesn't understand water warfare, he probably knows some necessary factors for water warfare from Gan Ning's words. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "General Zuo Junshi said that these warships should be handed over to my battalion. When I went there, I didn't make any explanation, and I came in a hurry, so the specific number is not very clear, but when I was patrolling the ship before, I saw the cabins where these military supplies were stored, and they were all full of arrows. On the warships, there should be no less than two thousand arrows per ship!" Qianzhao pondered for a while, gave Gan Ning a number, and then said: "However, the two hundred brothers brought by XX this time, in their hands The crossbow comes with two base numbers, so there are two thousand arrows."

"Too few! And the reloading of crossbow bolts is too slow, so it's not very useful on the river! It seems that this time will take a lot of effort." Gan Ning didn't seem to know much about the killer weapons that resounded through the Northland. The strength of the crossbow is no more than one arm's length, and the indifference in the eyes makes Qianzhao feel that his pride is for the blind to see.

Seeing that Qianzhao seemed to be about to say some unpleasant things again, and praised Qianzhao for his brave temperament even though he suffered a "big loss" in the water battle, Gan Ning still resisted and interrupted He said with a dignified face, "Vice Commander Qian, don't think that Gan is deliberately making things difficult. The battle on the river is different from that on land. Compared with personal bravery, the quality of the sword, the effect and lethality of the arrow It is the biggest guarantee. If the attention is not enough, then on the big river can only be used as a living target for the opponent. Even if you have the upper hand, unless you finally take over the strings, the outcome is hard to predict. It's just that now Huang Zu's combat strength is almost twice that of ours, and our arrows are only [-] per ship, which can only support one projectile..."

"Aren't there 2 ships in ten ships? Uh...then what do you think we should do?" Qian Zhao blurted out.But as soon as he finished speaking, he knew that his words were taken for granted.Indeed, there are as many as [-] arrows stored on the eleven warships. At first glance, it sounds that they can indeed support a small-scale war.But the problem is that this is now on a big river, and it is impossible for these ships to lay their hulls across the river and concentrate their "firepower" to meet the enemy.Even if Zhuanzhao has never been in contact with water battles, he can still figure it out. If this is the case, it will be no different from sending him to death.As long as Liu Biao's navy can't survive for a few miles, and the time is less than a quarter of an hour's arrow coverage, if it is cut off from it, it is enough to rely on the superiority in numbers and the sharpness of the warship to make dumplings for himself and others.

"What should we do? Well, I don't know how much combat power the soldiers under the deputy commander can have if they join the battle?" Gan Ning glanced at the standing behind Qianzhao, his complexion varied and he was a little pale. Asked the first soldier who was obviously suppressing his discomfort.

"Of course...cough...what do you mean?" Qianzhao actually wanted to let Gan Ning, the "water thief leader", see the demeanor of the first dead soldier who once defeated the world's best soldiers, Bai Mayi.It's just that Zhaozhao himself also understands that the Jiankang navy soldiers sent by Guo Jia are not bad, at least most of them are from Jiangdong, and they grew up by the water since they were young, so they don't get seasick.And my three hundred first-board soldiers, since boarding the ship, have been affected by the dark wind and high waves this month and have suffered from seasickness to varying degrees. He has a good "military appearance", but in fact it can only be said to be strong.In this state, not to mention facing Liu Biao's water army with rich experience in previous battles, it is already very good to be able to maintain the aim of reaching the crossbow first in the distance.Therefore, even though Gan Ning didn't know whether it was intentional or not, anyway, he was about to say something that was not pleasant to hear, and he was really "forced" by the truth to lose his temper.

"Oh! It's not interesting! You don't have to worry too much about leading the deputy commander! There is still time, please also ask the leading deputy commander to communicate on your behalf and put the arrows on the nearby ships on Gan's small boats. Let's see what Jinfan and others say. I would like to present a small gift to the envoy of Qin!" Gan Ning looked like he didn't understand the meaning of Qianzhao's words, but the corners of his mouth curled up, but he couldn't hide his teasing look, and he even pretended to be affectionate. Shoulder, smiled and said: "By the way, I have to trouble the deputy commander to take the trouble to sweep the formation for me. Don't worry, if you have military achievements this time, a certain family will give you half of it! It can be regarded as a certain family's misunderstanding of the previous one. I will compensate you." Already!"

"You... this... the thief! I don't need you to divide the work! Who can play tricks, if you have the ability to play tricks, let's show you, Mr. Zhao!" Zhao Zhao knew that Gan Ning definitely did it on purpose.Because Gan Ning clasped his hands together, clapping and pinching to express his boldness and "intimacy", which is exactly where Gan Ning was hurt by the "misunderstanding" last time.Zhuanzhao subconsciously bared his teeth and gasped, but on the surface he couldn't let the people around him see that he had suffered a "secret loss", so he could only hold on with a muffled grunt.Although I know what Gan Ning is telling the truth, it is really a weakness for those who ruled the land battle first to enter the camp in water battles. Compared with the sail thieves, they are indeed weaker than others.Qianzhao was very clear in his heart, but his mouth was hard to lose, and he said through gritted teeth.

"Deputy Commander Qian, according to the current speed, Huang Zu's navy may come within range of the ships waiting for me in less than half an hour..." Gan Ning only chuckled slightly when he complained about Qian Zhao. Kindly reminded Judzi an indignant move.Then he looked at the back of Qianzhao who had been looking for "trouble" for him, although his expression remained unchanged, he still quickly followed his instructions to dispatch military supplies.Gan Ning, who had been tricked by Guo Jia and Qin Xu this time, had no choice but to turn to Gan Ning, and suddenly felt that the current choice was actually not that bad.
