Lu's relatives

Chapter 590
The sky is full of stars, sprinkled with a little bit of starlight, on the dark river surface, with the rolling of the waves, a little bit of light is reflected.When the boat sails on the river, it is as if you are in the land of Mithril, ready to ride the wind, which is not like the world.

This is supposed to invite three or five friends, indulge in pride, ride a flat boat, roar proudly between the rivers and lakes, and be comfortable in the realm of the sky, so as to live up to the beautiful scenery of the moonlit night on the spring river.It's a pity that at this moment, the people on the river don't seem to be in such a mood.

As the overlord of the waters of Jingxiang and Liu Biao, the general Huang Zu who led [-] soldiers alone in one side of Liu Biao's water army, he didn't know how long he hadn't felt this kind of aggrieved feeling.Just now a small military school came to report, and just now, I focused on the whereabouts of the escaped ship of the Jiangdong Navy, so even though it encountered a round of arrow rain, Gan Ning, the Jinfan thief who still didn't pay much attention, unexpectedly led The soldiers under his command used a few small boats, taking advantage of the darkness, relying on the maneuverability of the boats, they attacked the other ships except Huang Zu's flagship.

Shameless!Huang Zu didn't know if he was frightened when he heard this little schoolboy, or if he deliberately lowered his voice to report the estimated casualties of the ships in order not to disturb the morale of the army. .It stands to reason that a battle-tested general like Huang Zu shouldn't have disturbed his mood because of the "mere" casualties of more than 200 people.But the problem is that this time, in order to win Su Fei's trust, Huang Zu took advantage of Su Fei's friendship with Gan Ning to gain something. He only brought ten battleships. Warships are no more than transport ships. All kinds of war equipment and spare arrows, crossbow beds and other military resources, so each ship only has 300 men at full capacity, except for the auxiliary soldiers paddling at the bottom of the warehouse.That's it, the highest number of people that can be carried at the expense of the highest speed of the ship.Therefore, the casualties of more than [-] people are equivalent to one-eighth of the soldiers Huang Zu led this time. To put it more vividly, it is like losing a ship before the war started.What is especially hateful is that this is a pure casualty!In other words, the casualties of the water bandits led by Gan Ning on the other side are not yet known, and it is not even guaranteed that in the disorderly counterattack under the carelessness of our army, whether the casualties of Gan Ning's subordinates will be embarrassing with zero casualties.It was like this before the battle was fought, no wonder Huang Zu was furious.

The chief general became so angry that although the generals under him were suspicious, it did not cause any bad effects after all. After all, the proportion of troops was there. Thinking about fighting against Gan Ning, the leader of water thieves, and when the opponent fled in a hurry, was chased and killed by his own sergeant and had to return to the end, his side would suffer such a big loss.Therefore, although they were surprised by Huang Zu's reaction, all the sailors on the flagship still agreed to Huang Zu's military order in unison.

Liu Biao's water army can be called the overlord of the Jingxiang water army, but in fact it has quite a few tricks. After the order of Huang Zu's army was issued, almost at the next moment, although the soldiers' hearts were shaken by several sneak attacks by Gan Ning, The military order was executed in a timely manner.In fact, dozens of comrades were killed by waves of arrows that would come at no one knows when in the darkness. When they counterattacked, they couldn't find any traces of the attackers and disturbed their minds. In addition to Liu Pan's vanguard ship that took the lead, the nine battleships including Huang Zu's flagship also ordered to speed up. It is not known whether they had the intention to avoid the sneak attack of Gan Ning and others.

However, Huang Zu obviously underestimated Gan Ning's determination to show his face in front of Qin Xu this time, and Liu Pan also really ignored the combat power of the big ship that dared to "block the way" in front of him.Just when Huang Zu's warship, which was five or six miles away, began to speed up, intending to rush straight to get rid of Gan Ning's "harassment", Liu Pan also encountered trouble.

"General, the boat on the opposite side is motionless. Are you scared to be stupid by seeing our soldiers are so numerous?" The Jiangdong navy warship where the same leader is located has been deadlocked for a long time, and even Liu Pan began to doubt What I was worried about before was that I wanted to lure myself to attack rashly with the trick of using the false to make the real and the false. Is it really suspicious?On the big river in the distance, in front of his own ship, except for the light on the warship where Qian Zhao was on, the starry sky was all pitch black, where there was half of the shadow of the Jiangdong Navy.Water battles are no better than land battles, and here is a straight road. Although the visibility is not high due to the sky, at least the situation within the range of the bow and arrow can still be seen clearly.Therefore, after receiving Huang Zu's signal to urge the march, Liu Pan knew what to do, and immediately ordered to rush forward, meeting this daring man for a while to see what the other party was trying to trick.

"Don't make sarcastic remarks! Lu Bu's army can reach the current level, how can the soldiers under his command be easy to provoke? Be careful!" Liu Pan was also wondering that his ships were already within range. It stands to reason that if the other party is really serious In order to break the line, if you don't launch an attack at this time, then when you have a battleship that is a whole circle larger than it in terms of "tonnage" and soldiers, the result will be unfavorable to the opponent. Great to say.Could it be that the master of the big ship on the other side is still trying to use more than a hundred landlubbers to compete in water warfare with two hundred Jingxiang navy elites?Liu Pan even looked forward to seeing the scene of his side killing the Quartet for a while.

"Something's wrong! General! You see, although there are human figures in the opponent's class A, there has been no movement for a long time. There are only a hundred people, how can it be so quiet? Could it be that the opponent is an empty ship, just tied up?" Can't these straw people fool me and wait?" The closer the ship was, the result was still no movement, let alone Liu Pan, even the soldiers around him subconsciously relaxed their vigilance, and when they got closer, they were in charge of watching The soldiers noticed that the human figures in yellow clothes and red armor squatting on both sides of the ship of Class A, followed the shaking of the ship on the water, but they did not move at all.

"Huh? What? That's how it is!" Liu Pan was shocked when he heard the soldier's report. When he gathered his eyes to look at it, he breathed a sigh of relief and believed the soldier's "guess". point.No wonder, no wonder!If this is the case, Liu Pan thinks that for the few doubts that arose in his heart just now, if he thinks so, there is a reasonable explanation for the strange behavior of the Jiangdong Navy.It must be that this group of people knew that they were defeated by the Jiangdong navy led by them, so they took the risk and used such tricks and Gan Ning's sneak attack to gain time for the army to escape!It must be so, a blaze of fire flashed in Liu Pan's eyes!
At the price of one ship, and the lives of hundreds of people who were just bandits before, in exchange for more than a dozen ships that were already extremely scarce war tools for Jiangdong, in Liu Pan's view, no matter how you look at it, it is worth it. A deal that won't lose money.If it were him, Liu Pan, of course he would make such a choice.It's just a pity that the credit for this time is much less, maybe it will be shared by Huang Zu's fellow, so the plan to make a blockbuster in front of Liu Biao, maybe postponed a little bit.This is the reason why Liu Pan was upset.

"General...General...how can the straw man on the boat still move?" Perhaps it was due to preconceived reasons, the sentinel mistakenly thought that the ship where the call was being made was all the first soldiers who were in a half-kneeling posture. After the grass man who was trying to confuse people, Liu Pan's vigilance was greatly reduced, and he immediately ordered the assistant soldiers of Dicang to speed up, so that before Huang Zu's boats arrived, at least they could take the bulk of the credit.As soon as the material approached, someone pointed to the first boarding soldiers who were moving on both sides of the opposite ship's side, and shouted in horror.

"It's not good! It's a trick!" In fact, no one needs to be reminded at all. When the lights of the ship he is on can clearly illuminate the opposite ship, Liu Pan has already noticed something is wrong.Straw man?Who has ever seen a straw man holding a crossbow that is as long as one arm?In front of the crossbow gun, under the light of the lights on his own boat, the crossbow bolts emitted a cold light, even a blind man knew at this moment that it was definitely not fake.What two hundred straw people, these are clearly two hundred enemy soldiers holding a big killer weapon that is not a good thing at first glance!Now Liu Panfu suddenly understood why the ship stopped here and did not move.This kind of Jiangdong warship, with a full load of 150 combatable troops, is quite good.And two hundred sergeants appeared unreasonably on this ship. Obviously, they sacrificed the "position" of the paddling auxiliary soldiers at the bottom of the cabin, as a deadly bait, and the purpose was to catch him, Liu Pan, who rushed over rashly. Looking for a dead fish!
"Quick! Get back quickly!" Liu Pan's first reaction after being stunned for a moment was to get down quickly and hide most of his body behind the thick arrow shield.On this ship, no one knows better than Liu Pan. With such a short distance and the kind of crossbow in the opponent's hand, if you want to rush over, let alone whether you will succeed or not, the 200 people on your own may not be enough. People fired a round.But what Liu Pan can do now is to save his own life first, wait for the arrival of Huang Zu's large fleet, and use the absolute advantage in numbers to kill these damned Jiangdong soldiers.

"Boy! Your master Zhaozhao has been waiting for you for a long time! Why not hide, stay here!" It has to be said that Liu Pan's idea and the timely military order are indeed a good way to get out of this predicament.It's just a pity that because of Gan Ning, the suffocating move and the two hundred soldiers who left the camp first, how could they let go of Liu Pan who had gone so hard to lure him into the bait!Especially among the dead soldiers who stayed to fight the enemy, half of them had experienced the humiliation of being kidnapped by Gan Ning. Now Gan Ning led hundreds of Jinfan bandits and dared to go deep into the enemy's rear. If I and others don't do something, why don't these new entrants look down on me even more!Not to mention that these Liu Biao sailors in front of them are the only chance to reduce their guilt and embarrassment before meeting Qin Xu.Not to mention that just to wait for these people to approach and maximize the power of the crossbow, my group of people waited for half an hour without moving. Run away happily?
