Chapter 264 Ling Cao's Confidence

Above the river, the water is turbulent and the waves are turbulent. Hundreds of warships are scattered on the river. The banners are beckoning, and the flags are ringing in the hunting river wind.

Around hundreds of warships, there are also hundreds of small ships, which are of different sizes. Some can accommodate three or two people, some can accommodate more than ten people, and some can even accommodate only one person.

These boats were only specially purchased from Xiangyang and other places when Gan Ning left Xiangyang. There are dense rivers in Jingzhou, and almost every family along the coast has several such boats, and Gan Ning gave a lot of money, so he got hundreds of such ships in just a few hours.

In the middle of the warship, on a huge warship, Gan Ning was dressed in armor and stood majestically on the bow. Gan Ning's figure on the bow seemed to be particularly conspicuous. The silver-white armor was sandwiched with golden accessories, which could almost be dazzling as the ship swayed. This is Gan Ning's costume when he was a thief. The soldiers around him looked at Gan Ning from time to time, full of adverence.

"General, it's only 20 miles away from Jiangdong Shuijun Camp." A young general came quickly and bowed and saluted.

"What's Ling Cao's reaction?" Gan Ning did not look back, and his eyes did not leave the distant sky.

"The Jiangdong Water Army is gathering, but the Jiangdong Water Army did not send many outposts. It seems that they did not pay attention to our army." A trace of anger flashed in the young general's eyes. Obviously, Jiang Dong's indifference to them made the young general feel uncomfortable.

"Spell the order, speed up, meet Jiangdong's whistle all along the way, and all of them are killed, and no one can be released." Gan Ning looked calm and was not dissatisfied with Ling Cao's indifference. The more careless Ling Cao is to him, the greater the chance of Jingzhou winning.

"No." The young general bowed and saluted and looked at the hundreds of boats outside the big boat. The young general stopped talking, and finally turned away with a wry smile.

He has asked Gan Ning many times these days. Every time Gan Ning said that these ships have other arrangements, but more than ten days have passed, these ships are still wandering around the warships and have no effect.

In fact, there are also such small ships in the Jingzhou navy, but there are not too many. These small ships have no effect except for their fast speed. These boats are usually used as whistles to find out the whereabouts of the enemy navy.

In the command of the water army these days, Gan Ning has fully demonstrated his wrists, both soft and hard, and almost perfect command, so that some reverenced generals in the navy have been admired one after another. Therefore, although Gan Ning bought hundreds of such ships, it seemed useless, but everyone did not say anything.

Compared with the generals, Gan Ning thinks very far away. Fewer people does not mean being at a disadvantage. On the contrary, fewer people are more flexible and better at sneaking on the river. At the beginning, when 800 Jinfan thieves crossed the river, they defeated several times the strong enemy with 800 people. Although he now commands 40,000 troops, Gan Ning dares not be careless at all.

He defected to Liu Qi as a thief and was appointed by Liu Qi as the commander of the water army to lead all the water army in Jingzhou. What a great favor it is. Gan Ning is expanding his power for Liu Qi all the time, and the fastest way to expand his power is to plunder.

And the tens of thousands of sailors in Jiangdong are the target of Gan Ning. As long as Ling Tong is defeated, the defeated soldiers in Jiangdong will be the target of Gan Ning's expansion of power, and these hundreds of small ships will quickly rescue the soldiers who fell into the water of Jiangdong and escort them back to the warship.

Half an hour later, the water army led by Gan Ning gradually approached Jiangdong Shuizhai. Jiangdong Shuizhai is not far from Jiangxia. In recent years, the harassment of Jiangdong's navy against Jiangxia can be said to be unscrupulous, so Jiangdong Shuizhai is in the territory of Jiangxia.

"General, there are only ten miles left to reach Jiangdong Water Village." The young general ran over with a solemn face.

"Well, can Jiangdong react?" Gan Ning's voice was as calm as before.

"The Jiangdong Water Army has just been assembled, but the whereabouts of the army have not been exposed, and the Jiangdong outposts along the way have been killed." The young general was excited.

It is the first time in Jingzhou that he can take the initiative to attack Jiangdong! It is not a secret that the water army of Jiangdong came and went unscrupulously in Jiangxia. Although the people in the water army tried their best to fight, they were rejected by Cai Mao every time. Now Gan Ning led their lord to attack the Jiangdong water army, and everyone breathed secretly.

"Well, let the army rush to Jiangdong Shuizhai as fast as possible, and the hundreds of ships bought will be put in the back." There was finally a trace of fluctuation in Gan Ning's voice, and my hand with the hilt of the sword also exerted slightly.

"No." The young general was relieved. If the hundreds of ships were mixed among the warships, I'm afraid that the formation of the warships would be disrupted.

Soon, Gan Ning's order was conveyed, and hundreds of warships suddenly accelerated, and hundreds of small boats between the warships and warships also gathered behind the warships.

Hundreds of warships set up a charge formation in the rapid march, and the fierce momentum was so fierce that the birds that were still flying on the river also fled one after another.

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

On a piece of land in Shuizhai, Ling Tong and several young generals stood on the shore and looked at the warships coming and going in the camp. The water army in Jiangdong is the most elite navy of the princes in the world, and even the water army in Jingzhou is not comparable.

"General, the navy in Jiangdong seems to be coming to our side." A young general in the water village didn't care at all.

"Ha ha." Ling Cao laughed sarcastically and didn't say anything.

"Can Jingzhou's water army be called a water army?" A young general next to Ling Cao suddenly looked at the crowd, and the blank expression on his face made everyone laugh.

"Haha, that's right. Jingzhou's water army is indeed not a water army. The 40,000 water army is just a rabble." Another young man smiled and said.

"General, do you make some preparations? After all, even if the 100,000 sailors are mob, they can't be underestimated." There are also sober people among them, who are a little worried.

"That's good. Let's get ready. Jingzhou's water army finally came to Jiangxia, but it can't be let go like this. Although it is a failure in this attack on Jingzhou, it would be better to take a sigh of relief if it can seriously damage the water army in Jingzhou. Ling Cao's face suddenly became gloomy.

He knows very well the current situation of the Jiangdong army. If it can hit the water army in Jingzhou this time, it will be worthwhile. Otherwise, the Jiangdong army will work hard, but in the result, it will not get anything. Isn't it ridiculous?

"General, don't worry, it will take at least two hours for Jingzhou's water army to get here, and the army is already gathering. It won't be long before it can be assembled. At that time, it's time to go up against the current and kill Jingzhou's soldiers and horses unprepared." Seeing Ling Cao talking, several young generals quickly stood up and said loudly.

"Well, send people to pay close attention to the situation of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses. When the Jingzhou army is ten miles away from the camp, the army will leave the camp. At that time, it will be time to completely defeat the Jingzhou water army with ease." Ling Cao's eyes flashed sharply.

"No." Several young generals immediately got up to prepare, and the Jiangdong water army in the water village also gathered one after another.

However, Ling Cao on the shore turned to the big tent not far away. The situation of the battle with Jingzhou still needs to be reported to Sun Ce. In his opinion, this is a suspenseless water war, so he can't wait to report the victory to Sun Ce.

Back to the big tent, Ling Cao quickly came to the table, grabbed the brush on the table and stained the ink fiercely. He wrote hard on the bamboo slips that had been spread out. In a moment, a bamboo slip had been written by Ling Tong, and nearly a thousand words were sprinkled on the bamboo slips. The content is that the Jiangdong Water Army hit the Jingzhou Water Army. .

Ling Cao seemed to be in his heart. He didn't pay attention to the upcoming Jingzhou Water Army. He put down his brush. Ling Tong carefully read the good news he wrote, put down the bamboo slips with a laugh, and strode away from the tent.

The water army in the water village should be almost ready. He can't wait to rush into the Jingzhou water army with a knife to kill it.

The rapid sound of war drums sounded, and the whole water army of Jiangdong Shuizhai took action. The warships sailed away from the shore and into the river. In just a quarter of an hour, the charge formation of the Jiangdong army had begun to take shape, and the momentum became stronger and stronger as more and more warships joined it.

Far from Jiangdong Shuizhai, hundreds of warships walked slowly and ready to go. The soldiers pointed to Jiangdong Shuizhai from afar. Gan Ning stood proudly in the bow of the ship, his eyes flashed, and there seemed to be a sense of war coming out, which was extremely fierce.

The sudden and rapid sound of war drums shocked everyone standing in the bow.

"General, the Jiangdong army has begun to gather. Is it time to charge?" A young general suddenly turned his head and looked at Gan Ning. At this time, he remembered that the drums clearly said that the Jiangdong army began to gather. If the Jiangdong army was really assembled, wouldn't it have no effect at all to intercept Jiangdong's whistle on this road?

When approaching Jiangdong Shuizhai just now, Gan Ning ordered the navy to slow down and reorganize the formation.

Hearing the words of the young general, the people behind Gan Ning also turned their heads and looked at Gan Ning. At this time, everyone was excited and clenched the hilt of their swords one by one, and their eyes were full of warring. When Gan Ning gave an order, they led the Jingzhou navy to rush into Jiangdong Water Village with shame.

Although Gan Ning in front of him was already warlike, he did not say anything. This is not the best time to attack Jiangdong Shuizhai. He knew deeply about the elite of the Jiangdong Water Army, so he did not order an attack as soon as he arrived here.

He was waiting for the Jiangdong Water Army to attack itself, and then suddenly attacked and defeated the Jiangdong Water Army in one fell swoop. He wanted the Jiangdong Water Army to have no resistance.

This battle is not only to win, but also to win beautifully.

The sound of the drums in the distance is getting faster and faster. Even the generals of the water army on the river can feel the murderous spirit of the water army in Jiangdong.

Everyone stared at Gan Ning tightly, and their arms were already beating with blue veins because of the force.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, Gan Ning pulled out his long sword with a sound on the bow, and the murderous atmosphere suddenly erupted like a volcano.

And the morale of the whole Jingzhou navy also reached its peak because of Gan Ning's words.
