The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 24

Right now Gan Ning is in this fleet, pretending to come to spy on the enemy, but in fact he wants to use Ling Tong's hatred for him to lure him out.And the other navy troops on this expedition had already ambushed, waiting for Gan Ning to lead Ling Tong to the ambush location.

Sure enough, when Ling Tong saw Gan Ning, his strong hatred made him immediately lead his troops to kill Gan Ning.

The Jiangxia navy didn't seem to have expected the Jiangdong navy to kill them so soon, and seemed frightened, and started to run back desperately, while Ling Tong chased after them vigorously while shooting arrows forward.

Some subordinates reminded Ling Tong not to chase too far away, and this time Gan Ning was a little unusual, so beware of the other party's tricks.

Ling Tong, on the other hand, was blinded by hatred. The enemy he thought about day and night was right in front of him, and he was chasing him closer and closer. If he let the enemy escape this time, he didn't know when he would meet him next time, so he urged his men. Chase hard.

However, when turning around a small river bend, something happened suddenly, and countless arrows were shot from the tall aquatic plants on both sides, shooting Ling Tong's subordinates to death and falling into the water in a blink of an eye.

"No, there's an ambush!" Ling Tong shouted, "Stand up the shield, stand up the shield!"

At this time, another subordinate pointed to the front and said in horror: "Captain, then...there is another fleet coming over there!"

Ling Tong looked forward and saw a large fleet of several thousand people coming upstream. The river was covered with ships of all sizes.

"I've been fooled!" Ling Tong finally realized that Gan Ning wanted to lure him out, not only setting up an ambush here, but also hiding the main force behind him, this insidious villain.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Ling Tong loudly ordered his soldiers to turn the bow of the ship and retreat back.

At this moment, Zhang Wu, who was in the main force of the Jiangxia Navy, immediately activated the skill "calling the wind and calling the rain". He chose only the wind but not the rain, and the wind direction was northeast, and ordered to light up thick smoke to release the signal.

Jiang Xia's navy ambushed in the grass on the right side of Ling Tong saw the signal of thick smoke, and immediately ignited the flammable fodder and other items that had been prepared long ago, and let the boat float towards Ling Tong's fleet along the wind.

"No, they set fire, we are downwind, turn around quickly, and row hard!" Ling Tong shouted, regretting to death in his heart, and at the same time hating Gan Ning even more, would use this despicable and shameless method to sneak attack one.

It is relatively easy for a small boat to turn around, but it is much more troublesome for a big boat. Before the big boat turns around, the burning boat is already in sight.

Seeing that he was helpless, Ling Tong had no choice but to give up the big ship and retreat in a small boat.

Gan Ning led his troops back to kill him again, and laughed loudly: "Son Ling Tong, don't you want to kill me to avenge your damn father? I'm right here, don't run away if you have the ability, I will send you father and son off right away." Reunion!”

Ling Tong was so angry that he wished to rush up and cut Gan Ning into two pieces, but at this time, not only would he not be able to avenge himself by rushing up, he would have to die, and his brothers would also die.

Compared with other places, Jiangdong's army has a characteristic, that is, the generals have a large number of private parts, which are private property owned by individuals and the core power controlled by the generals.Usually they are the children or folks of his own family, which is very precious. Ling Tong does not dare to let all his trilogy die here. This is what he inherited from his father Ling Cao, and it is his most precious wealth.

So Ling Tong led his troops to fight desperately, and finally escaped from the siege and retreated to Shaxian City. Of the more than 2000 people who came, now only a little over a thousand are left, which made Ling Tong feel bad.

Seeing that Ling Tong had escaped, Zhang Wu ordered Gan Ning to block the river to prevent Ling Tong from sending people along the river to Xu Sheng of Chaisang for help. Then he continued to advance, captured Shaxian Water Village, and surrounded Shaxian City, but not to attack the city yet. .

Zhang Wuze went ashore, joined the [-] infantry waiting on the shore, and marched towards Yuzhang.

When Lu Ma saw Zhang Wu approaching, he rubbed his head affectionately against Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu said with a smile, "Wait a minute, old man! Come on, let's fight the enemy together and let the world know your name, hahahaha ..."

Ling Tong fled back to the water village, and saw that Gan Ning was chasing after him with an army, far outnumbered himself, knowing that he couldn't hold the water village, he had to abandon the Shaxian Water Village, abandon all the boats, and return to Shaxian City. Defend according to the city, otherwise you will be wiped out on the water.

Gan Ning occupied the water stronghold and divided his troops to surround Shaxian City, especially sealing off the waterway between Shaxian and the outside world, but did not attack the city.Jiangxia's naval army is also not good at attacking cities. Regardless of the fact that they have more people than the opponent, Shaxian City is only a small county town, and there are nearly 4000 people in it, which is more than enough to defend the city.

As soon as Ling Tong withdrew back, he sent people out to ask for help. He asked for help from Xu Sheng in Chaisang on the water, and Han Dang in Yuzhang by land.As long as you can hold on until the rescuers arrive, you will not only be able to break through the siege, but also fight back, Gan Ning thief, you wait!

What Ling Tong didn't know was that the people he sent to seek help from Xu Sheng were intercepted by Gan Ning's navy as soon as they reached the water, while the people he sent to Yuzhang arrived smoothly and met Han Dang.

After listening to the battle, Han Dang cursed angrily: "This Ling Gongji really disgraced his father. He was so full of revenge that he almost got himself involved! Come here, gather the troops, and set off immediately!"

The army can choose three routes from Yuzhang to Shaxian. One is to enter the Yangtze River through the Poyang Lake Waterway, then go west through the Yangtze River Waterway and then go south to Shaxian, but it has to take a long detour and pass through Jiangxia.The second route is to enter the Miluo River via Xiushui and then into the Yangtze River, and then go north along the river to Shaxian. This route also takes a long detour but is safe.Another way is to first take the Xiushui water and land route to Aixian County, and then take the land route from Aixian County to Shaxian.

The military situation was urgent, so Han Dang led 1 people to set off immediately. They first took a boat from Xiushui to Ai County, and then divided the army into two.One part of the 7000-man naval force continued to enter the Yangtze River by land and water and then rushed to Shaxian. The other part of 3000 people went ashore, led by Han Dang himself, and took the land route to support Shaxian.

Han Dang felt that although Ling Tong was defeated, there were still nearly 4000 men under his command. It would not be a problem to guard a small county for a month. With the combat power of the water army, it is not a problem to defeat Jiang Xia's water army, so the siege is naturally resolved.Moreover, Shaxian City is small, if there are too many people who I bring first, not to mention the consumption of food and grass, there is nowhere to settle, so a large force escorts the food and grass to go by land and water.

However, all this was actually planned by Zhang Wu.Using Ling Tong's desire for revenge to draw him out and defeating Ling Tong's navy is only the first step.The second step is to surround Shaxian City without attacking it, attract Han Dang from Yuzhang to come to the rescue, and use Jiangdong Army's mentality of underestimating the enemy to ambush him halfway.The third step is to defeat Han Dang's reinforcements, and then return to the soldiers Shaxian to encircle and suppress Lingtong. At that time, the morale of Lingtong's troops will be in chaos, and the soldiers will have no desire to resist. They will either surrender or break out and escape.
