Chapter 464 Attack
There are no guns and no cannons. It seems that if you want to strengthen the navy, you can only start from the strength of the soldiers' equipment and ships. As long as the craftsman's workshop is willing to work hard, building a navy is not a problem. The important thing is the problem of funds. With the support of the craftsman's workshop, it seems that the funds of the Xiliang Army does not need to be considered, but in fact, it is not. The army, especially the standing army with high pay, pays a great price. These soldiers exist for war. They do not farm, do not consider anything else, and only wait for the arrival of war.
In the navy, on the largest building in the middle, a general said disapprovingly, "It's just a group of water bandits. Why don't the general take this opportunity to capture Ganning?"
"Gan Ning has been rampant on the river for a long time, and he has more than 1,000 people under him. At this time, our army is at peace with the Jiangdong army. If you offend them again, they will be unwise and let them jump for a few more days." General Zhang's face showed a gloom.
"Why don't we keep up and see what the Jingzhou army is doing?" Jia Rong suddenly said strangely.
"Yes!" Gan Ning held the boxing, and then commanded the soldiers to follow up. As a good man wandering in the river, Gan Ning's hands were quite elite. Compared with the Jingzhou water army, he was not better than them, but the equipment was not as good as them, and the water quality was naturally very good.
On the vast river, a man and horse appeared again, with a big "Sun" flag, indicating the identity of the owner. The two people and horses met without much words, and immediately began to fight.
In the Jingzhou Water Army, the largest building ship rammed all the way. However, all the ships of the Jiangdong Army encountered were destroyed. After approaching, the arrows of the two sides came and went, and the fight was extremely fierce. The Jingzhou Water Army and the Jiangdong Army had accumulated grievances for a long time, and the two sides would not be soft at all.
The surface of the river was soon dyed with a faint layer of red. The huge building ship of Jingzhou Water Army made great contributions, but such a strong collision made the building boat a little unsseverable.
About an hour after the war, the two sides went on strike.
Jia Rong also ordered Gan Ning to turn the bow and rush back to the camp.
"General, recently, the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army have repeatedly fought against each other. You can't go out casually. We also have a grudge against these two groups." Zhou Tai looked worried.
Jia Rong smiled and said, "It's okay. It's also a whim today. Besides, there is nothing to be afraid of such a brave water general like General Gan."
Gan Ning was a little embarrassed by Jia Rong's praise, but his eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit.
"It has been two days since the general came to the camp. Tonight we will hold a banquet for the general." Zhou Tailang said.
The soldiers shouted loudly when they heard the words. After joining the Xiliang Army, Zhou Tai did not say it clearly, but the requirements for soldiers became more and more strict. Usually, they could not drink alcohol in the army. Once found out, the military law punished him. Since Jiang Qin was punished face to face to face, no one dared. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Tai is one Thieves who have no discipline, in fact, the requirements of military discipline are stricter than those of Jingzhou Water Army and Jiangdong Army.
Jia Rong smiled and said, "Okay!"
At night, the water military camp looks particularly beautiful against the light of the water. Under the water, it is like two camps.
Jia Rong and his party staggered in the camp, and the soldiers on the periphery were also divided into some wine and food, and the camp was full of laughter.
In the dark night, several small boats quietly approached in the direction of Shuizhai, but for a moment, I saw the dense boats behind the boat. There were about a thousand people, including a building boat, which could move the building boats on the river. It was the Jingzhou Water Army and the Jiangdong Army.
On the right side of the water village, there is also a dense ship, with about 1,000 people, the same equipment as the ship on the right, and a huge building ship in the center.
At this time, in the water village, the sound of joy was so loud that he did not realize the approach of death at all.
Looking at the beginning of the water army, Jia Rong was also overjoyed, but all the people who came to toast continued. Anyway, he drank a lot, and he didn't think about what happened after getting drunk.
"Lord, it's not good. An unknown ship was found outside the water village, about 2,000 people." Zhang Xiu said in a low voice.
Jia Rong's eyes suddenly sharpened, and then returned to normal. He smiled and said, "You can drink freely. I'll come as soon as I go. After saying that, I will drink all the wine in the glass."
Zhou Tai and others continued to drink without doubt about him.
Several small boats in the night soon approached Zhou Tai's water village. The sound of arrows sounded, and two soldiers in charge of patrol fell to the ground.
"This group of water thieves deserved to be unlucky. In a big disaster, they are still drinking. God helps me." Under the banner of the word "Liu", a general stood and said proudly.
"General Zhang personally came out, and the disaster of the water thief was naturally solved, not to mention the help of the Jiangdong Army." A general came forward and patted the horse.
"Jiangdong Army, after this battle, you may have to fight with them again, so that the soldiers can't relax their guard against the Jiangdong Army." General Zhang told him.
"No!" The messenger held his fist and said that he had a promise.
On the right side of the camp, Huang Gai looked at the momentum of the Jingzhou navy and couldn't help sighing; "I didn't expect that the Jingzhou army had dispatched Zhang Yun."
"General Huang, Zhou Tai and other water thieves have repeatedly made trouble on the water. I'm afraid they will be caught all this time."
"General Ling, don't relax your vigilance. The water thief is extremely cunning. He can't destroy the army many times. Tonight, there will be someone to help you. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin Gan Ning are also a good man on the river. The lord has ordered that if he is captured, treat him with courtesy." Huang Gai sighed.
After Jia Rong followed Zhang Xiu out, he immediately rushed to the room where Mi Huan was. At this critical moment, except Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan, he could no longer trust anyone. As expected, someone in the water village must have colluded with the foreign enemy, otherwise 2,000 soldiers around the water village would not be noticed.
As soon as the three of them met, they saw dense boats outside the water village, and the torch on the bow of the boat seemed to shine on the river like day.
As soon as Jia Rong left, Zhou Tai received the news of the soldier's report. He was shocked. He went to look for Jia Rong again, but there was no trace. He hurriedly ordered, "Gan Ning, go and protect the general, and the rest of the people will follow me to meet the enemy."
In Zhou Tai's perception, he was able to block the enemy for a little time, which was to win a chance for Jia Rong to escape. The whole water village was not as important as Jia Rong. He had not joined the Xiliang Army for a long time, and he had no contact with Jia Rong, but his awareness was still very high.
"Zhou Taipifu, surrender!" Zhang Yun stood in the bow of the boat and shouted.
Zhou Tai took the big knife handed over by the soldier and snorted softly. How did the big knife become so heavy? "It's not good!" Zhou Tai's face changed greatly.
It's not just Zhou Tai, but all the senior generals who drink in the camp can't lift their strength, and their whole body is extremely sour.
"Shameless boy!" Zhou Tai cursed with red eyes and sat on the ground feebly.
Without a general organization, how can the soldiers in the water village resist the wolf-like Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Water Army.
"It's on fire, it's on fire." The soldiers in the camp shouted loudly.
In Zhou Tai's camp, a red dragon soared into the air, and the hot waves made people dare not look directly.
Zhou Tai's face was pale and he muttered in a low voice, "It's over, it's all over."
In a hurry, Zhou Tai was dragged away. The Jiangdong Army of the Jingzhou Army took Zhou Tai's water village and began to suppress the water thieves. However, when they saw a famous water army shouting all the way to surrender but not to kill, and then accepted the surrender of the soldiers. The Jingzhou Water Army and the Jiangdong Army were even more like competing to who accepted more prisoners.
Once the water thief who has been across the river for many years was broken, Huang Gai couldn't help sighing.
Jia Rong looked at the fire not far away, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes. Is there anyone among Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and Gan Ning?
His identity is absolutely confidential in the water army. After Jia Xu's multiple considerations, Jiang Qin Ganning and Zhou Tai are all credible people after many investigations. Why did such a thing happen when Jia Ronggang came to the navy?
At this time, Jia Rong was confused, and the only ones he could trust were Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan.
Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness came. Jia Rong felt soreness all over his body and was shocked. The usual indifference no longer existed. "It's not good, something was in the wine."
Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan also turned pale. The two also drank a few glasses of wine under Jia Rong's order. Although the situation was not as bad as Jia Rong, their arms and legs were still a little sore.
Looking at the shaky Jia Rong, Mi Huan hurried forward to hold it, and a trace of crimson flashed on his face. Men and women are not close. Although Mi Huan is usually very naughty, she still cares about these.
Jia Rong said, "Go quickly!"
A fire appeared in the rear, and the shouts of soldiers not far away could be faintly heard.
After the Jingzhou Water Army and the Jiangdong Army broke through the water village, they did not get anything. A big fire in the camp was set off, and many warships could no longer be used, and the largest building boat in the water village was also burned in half.
Zhang Xiuqiang endured his physical discomfort and said, "Master, you go first. I'll stop the people behind you. As long as you go back to Jiangxia, there will be soldiers to answer."
"No, you have followed me for many years, and you will die together." Jia Rong wanted to reach out to stop him, but he couldn't lift a trace of strength.
Tears flowed down Zhang Xiu's face. With Jia Rong's words, even if he died hundreds of times, he did not have any complaints. The scholar died for his confidant.
"Master, I will also stay. Please ask Miss Mi to lead the master to leave this place as soon as possible. Zhao Fan will definitely report this situation in his next life." Zhao Fan saluted Mi Huan heavily.
"Go!" Zhang Xiu roared in a low voice.
"Zhao Fan, Zhang Xiu, I'm sorry for you two in this life!" Jia Rong said in a hoarse voice, "This hatred can't be washed by the blood of tens of thousands of people!"
"Lord!" Zhao Fan and Zhang Xiu all knelt to the ground.
Although Mi Huan didn't understand why the two big men suddenly burst into tears and said such touching words, he also saw something wrong from the situation in the water village, especially the fire that soared into the sky, which brightened the river.
