Chapter 266 Great Victory
"Damn! Jingzhou has been prepared for a long time. Ling Zuo, who is directing the attack of Jiangdong soldiers, has a gloomy face. Although there are such small boats in Jiangdong, there are not too many, and there are hundreds in Jingzhou. Such a large number of ships can transport thousands of people into Jiangdong Water Village in a short time.
Looking at the dilapidated water village gate, Ling Cao was even more aggrieved. The camp of the Jiangdong Water Army was located in Chaisang, and the camp of the Chaisang Water Army was extremely strong. Even if the ship in Jingzhou was sunk, it would not hit the gate.
"Sat the Jingzhou water army that entered the army with bows and arrows."
Ling Cao took a deep breath and immediately dodged the bow and arrow from a bow and arrow beside him, and shot a sharp arrow between the warships, accurately piercing a rowing Jingzhou soldier. The Jingzhou soldier immediately screamed and fell into the water, and the whole boat seemed to be affected. It shook violently and collided with the surrounding warships from time to time, and the Jingzhou soldiers on the boat also fell into the water one by one.
Seeing Ling Cao's action, dozens of archers immediately turned around and shot the water army in Jingzhou through the cracks, and the Jiangdong warships behind them also followed suit and raised their bows and arrows to kill the Jingzhou soldiers who were ready to board the ship.
Jiangdong soldiers are condescending, and Jingzhou's small ships are in the cracks of various warships, which can't be dodged at all. Therefore, Jingzhou soldiers were killed and injured after several rounds of arrow rain. Seeing that the Jingzhou Water Army of the bow and arrow team was useful, the Jiangdong soldiers in the rear followed suit and found all the bows and arrows in the warships and the battalion to deal with Jingzhou.
"General, this..." Seeing the heavy losses of the soldiers who entered the Jiangdong camp, the young general behind Gan Ning couldn't help saying.
"The order is to let the soldiers in the water village land. Remember to let them bring the rockets. When they get to the shore, they will lower the rockets." Gan Ning also stared closely at the water village at this time. Because the water village had been crowded with warships at this time, his warship did not have time to enter the water village.
At this time, if you want to enter the water village, you can only pass through the small boats in and out, and turn over directly from the warship.
Not long after, Gan Ning's order came another wave of sailors with rockets into the water village. Although this wave of soldiers lost a lot, most of them still passed through the warships and reached the shore smoothly. As soon as these soldiers arrived on the shore, they immediately lit the torch, lit the rocket, and began to shoot arrows at the warships in Jiangdong.
"It's not good!"
With such a big movement on the shore, it can't hide Ling Cao, who has been paying attention to the situation in the water village. Ling Cao's pupils immediately tightened, and his face was extremely pale. Now Jiangdong's warships can't move at all. Just like a target, Jingzhou's soldiers can shoot feathers and arrows on Jiangdong's warships without aiming.
At that time, the fire will get bigger and bigger, and hundreds of warships in Jiangdong may be burned down.
"Quick! Mobilized 2,000 soldiers and horses to kill the Jingzhou soldiers and horses on the shore, and then station there. Ling Cao turned his head and said anxiously to a young general beside him.
"General, don't worry, I will definitely let these people come back." The joy flashed in the eyes of the young general. Although this place is easy to get promoted by Ling Cao, this place is also dangerous for several people, and it is natural to be happy to leave the young general.
Hundreds of rockets fell, and immediately more than a dozen close warships were ignited, and not only that, the Jiangdong soldiers on the shore splashed the smell of tung oil from time to time. Immediately, dozens of warships close to the shore were ignited by the fire, and even on the surface of the water were The tung oil was covered and burned.
"If you keep the place, you can't let Jiangdong soldiers come up." The young general who was commanding everyone to put rockets on the Jiangdong warship noticed that the approaching Jiangdong soldiers and horses hurriedly ordered.
There are only a total of hundreds of people here. If you can't occupy the important place and be condescending, it is impossible to resist the attack of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.
Hearing the order of the young general, nearly a hundred people immediately put down their bows and arrows in their hands, pulled out their long knives and guarded the nearby important places tightly, and nearly a hundred people stood behind these people and held their bows and arrows high. Obviously, as long as Jiangdong soldiers and horses attacked, they would not hesitate to shoot arrows.
The rockets kept falling, and the fire on the warships was getting bigger and bigger. In less than half an hour, nearly half of the Jiangdong warships ignited a fire. Even dozens of warships had been burned, and the soldiers on the warships jumped into the water and struggled.
While the soldiers on the shore repelled the Jiangdong soldiers and set off the rockets. In half an hour, they used up all the feathers and arrows they carried. Looking at Ling Cao in the water village, the young general snorted coldly, leaving 300 people stationed here. He led the soldiers and horses to think about the barracks on the shore.
At this time, all the water troops in Jiangdong Opportunity were concentrated in the water village to resist the Jingzhou water army. There was no one in the camp, and even if someone was hiding here, he did not dare to come out to resist when he saw nearly 200 people rushing over, so the young general took 200 people into the camp without obstruction.
The young general walked around the camp and stopped at the back camp, where the grain and fodder of the Jiangdong Water Army was piled up. The young general did not hesitate to immediately order the soldiers to light the grain and fodder.
In a short time, the strong flame spread to the whole back camp. All the grain and grass of the Jiangdong army were lit, and the grain and grass that was constantly shooting arrows in the distance saw the strong black smoke in the back camp, and was so angry that it was about to spit blood.
And the fire was like the last straw that crushed the fighting spirit in the heart of the Jiangdong Water Army. Seeing that the grain and grass were burned, the morale of the soldiers in the water village was low and there was no intention to fight again.
"Add another 5,000 soldiers and horses." When Gan Ning saw the black smoke in the water village in Jiangdong, he was stunned and then understood something, and immediately said to the little general behind him.
There are a total of 40,000 troops in Jingzhou this time, and 20,000 troops have been invested in the battle with the Jiangdong Water Army. Now Ganning has invested another 5,000 people. Obviously, he doesn't want to delay any more.
Sure enough, 5,000 people joined. Even if the morale of Jingzhou's soldiers increased greatly, and Jiangdong's soldiers saw more and more Jingzhou soldiers' decadent faces, and they did not have any fighting spirit at all.
Ling Cao on the warship was already in a hurry at this time. Hundreds of warships in the water village were so crowded that they could not let go at all. On the contrary, the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou took advantage of the loopholes. Not only were there many soldiers in front, but also a lot of soldiers who attacked around. At this time, there were already thousands of sores in the water village. Hundred holes.
Looking at the situation in the camp, Ling Cao sighed and knew that the general trend had gone, and he had no intention to fight again. He just wanted to lead the remaining Jiangdong soldiers to break through the siege and return to Jiangdong.
"Ling Cao wants to run!" Gan Ning looked at the situation in the water village and immediately guessed Ling's thoughts.
Although Ling Cao led the water army to resist bravery, he didn't expect to be as worried as before. At this time, he wanted to break through the encirclement of Gan Ning, and naturally led the soldiers to attack side.
Ling Cao chose the shore, where Jingzhou has the least soldiers and horses. Although hundreds of soldiers occupy the high ground, as long as the army arrives at these hundreds of soldiers, it will not play a role at all.
In his heart, it was decided that Ling Cao would immediately lead the soldiers to retreat. At this time, the warships in Jiangdong were already close to each other. Ling Cao led the soldiers over the warships and left the Jingzhou soldiers behind.
Seeing that Ling Cao was about to run, Gan Ning naturally would not sit idly by. While ordering the young generals around him to collect the Jiangdong soldiers, he thought about going inside the water village. This time, he wanted to kill Ling Cao in person. As long as Ling Cao died, the Jiangdong water army would be a plate of scattered sand for him to knead.
Seeing Gan Ning catch up, Ling Cao did not dare to neglect the pace of his feet and accelerated a little.
However, although the hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers guarding on the shore were not strong, they blocked Ling Cao for a period of time. It was because of this period that Ling Cao caught up.
"Are you Gan Ning?" Seeing Gan Ning catch up with him, Ling Cao simply stopped running away and turned around and looked at Gan Ning coldly.
Gan Ning is the leader of the 40,000 water army in Jingzhou. He only needs to kill Gan Ning. Jingzhou and these 40,000 water troops will naturally be defeated without a battle. Obviously, Gan Ning is not the only one who has the same idea.
"Not bad." Gan Ning held the long sword in his hand and said unslowly.
"Kill!"
Ling Cao did not hesitate at all. He immediately took Gan Ning's head with the long sword in his hand. Earlier, Gan Ning's water army who killed Jiangdong could retain some more strength. Ling Cao never thought about defeat.
Seeing that Ling Cao came over, Gan Ning did not talk nonsense, and the long sword in his hand also stabbed Ling's mouth.
Poo-huh!
With a soft sound, Gan Ning's long sword had penetrated Ling Cao's armor.
"You!" Ling Cao looked at the long sword that pierced his heart in disbelief. He was defeated and didn't even hold on. It was not until then that Ling Cao realized that the person opposite was not as incompetent as the original general of Jingzhou.
After a muffled hum, Ling Cao fell straight to the ground. At this time, all the soldiers in Jiangdong Village looked here.
"Those who surrender don't kill! But there is resistance, and there is no mercy!"
Gan Ning's plain voice did not have a trace of murderous intention, but the Jiangdong soldiers in the whole water village were cold in their hearts. They had never met the leader of the opponent in their eyes, and they did not even hold on to a move in the hands of the enemy general, which made them unable to have a trace of resistance.
"Go!" Several soldiers looked around and were ready to escape.
"Puff!" ......
A few screams sounded, which made the Jiangdong soldiers in the camp tremble. Several soldiers just now were killed on the spot as soon as they took a step.
The lesson of the front car is in front of Jiangdong soldiers who put down their weapons and surrendered one after another. It is not a shame to surrender in the army, but they used to recruit others, but today it is indeed the opposite.
Seeing the eyes of these returning Jiangdong soldiers flashed, Gan Ning smiled and shook his head. He can guess the thoughts of these people. I'm afraid these people are still thinking about finding time to sneak back to Jiangdong in the future. However, although I know that Gan Ning did not break it, the most important thing now is to clean up the battlefield.
Soon the battlefield was cleaned out. During the whole process, Jingzhou lost nearly 2,000 soldiers, while Jiangdong lost nearly 16,000 soldiers in addition to more than 3,000 soldiers.
