After receiving Zhou Yu's order, Gan Ning took the lead in sending troops.

He led 5,000 soldiers and soon arrived at the right wing of Cai Mao's army. At this time, the sky above the river was clear. Gan Ning pointed at Cai Mao's army from afar and shouted loudly: "Everyone, follow me to defeat the enemy!"

The soldiers behind him responded with a roar.

"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"

Gan Ning shouted.

"Attack it!"

The sails were raised and the ship attacked Cai Mao's camp like an arrow.

Cai Mao was standing on a large ship and had spotted Gan Ning's soldiers early on, but he did not expect Gan Ning to start hand-to-hand combat without saying a word.

By the time he gave the order to fire the arrows, it was already too late.

The collision sound of the ships on both sides made a roar which reached Cai Mao's ears.

The sound of weapons clashing began to spread over the river.

Gan Ning led the way, his feet as firm as iron on the solid deck, his knees slightly bent, like a strong bow with a fully drawn string, instantly accumulating endless strength.

He let out a loud shout, and his body suddenly exerted force like an arrow shot from a bow. His figure drew a graceful arc in the air, as if he turned into a flash of lightning, and in a flash he landed steadily on the deck of the enemy ship.

He held two halberds in his hands, the tips of which flashed a cold light in the sunlight, as if carrying endless murderous intent.

He swung his arms, and the double halberds danced like two dragons, immediately knocking down the two enemy soldiers beside him to the ground with a dull sound.

At this time, the enemy soldiers on the warships were concentrating on fighting each other with weapons. Their hearts were full of enthusiasm for fighting. They had never expected that someone would be so brave and fearless, alone, and quietly come to their ship like a ferocious cheetah.

Those soldiers who had been sticking to their own goals were shocked by this sudden scene.

There was fear in their eyes, and then they gave up their original goal without hesitation and rushed forward like a tide, each of them with a ferocious face, ready to kill this daring guy on the spot on the warship.

However, when they really got close to Gan Ning, they were surprised to find a thorny problem. The double halberds dancing on this person seemed to form an impenetrable halberd net. The flashing shadows of the halberds were so dazzling that they could not find any flaws to get close to him.

Led by Gan Ning's war-like aura, the soldiers attacked the enemy ships madly and fiercely like a torrential rain. The shouts and screams shook the earth, as if they were going to shatter the entire sky.

Compared with the Jiangdong navy, the impressive navy under Gan Ning's command may be a little loose in military discipline and fail to achieve such a rigorous and orderly level.

However, their fighting power is like that of ferocious cheetahs, and is not inferior to any powerful force.

Most of these naval officers and soldiers came from notorious bandits. They had an innate ferocity and were adept at killing.

When they first clashed with Cai Mao's huge army of soldiers, they were like a group of wild horses that had broken free from their reins, sweeping forward like a violent storm, and instantly shattered Cai Mao's defense line on the left wing.

Cai Mao was slightly shocked as he watched the camp gradually fall into chaos. He had not expected that Gan Ning, with only a few thousand men, could have such attack power.

He had been in many battles and had his own experience in naval warfare. Although he was a little surprised, he was not panicked. He just waved his hand lightly, and the messenger gently waved the command flag.

Dozens of ships in the rear were advancing rapidly.

These soldiers who were transferred here were the elite of Cai Mao's navy. They were all energetic and in high spirits. They worked closely together and quickly formed solid lines of defense to resist Gan Ning's surging offensive.

For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate, with waves splashing on the water and shouts of killing shaking the sky. This fierce water fight seemed to set the entire sky on fire...

Liu Yu stood quietly on a towering mountain in the distance, his eyes fixed on the criss-crossing scene on the river below that looked like an interwoven spider web.

The warships were flying back and forth on the river, as if they were shuttling through a busy street, constantly shuttling back and forth between each other, and occasionally launching violent collisions and confrontations.

He raised his head slightly and took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.

This was the first time in his life that he witnessed such a fierce attack between warships. To be honest, the battle on the river was very different from the battles on land that he was familiar with.

On land, there are often various complex and varied tactical strategies that can cleverly use factors such as terrain and troop deployment to achieve victory;

But here on the river, there are far fewer tactical options. The most direct way is to first unleash a dense rain of arrows like a rainstorm at the beginning of the battle, causing huge casualties and chaos to the enemy, and then immediately engage in a brutal close-range fight.

This battle mode, which lacks elaborate tactical support, naturally makes the number of people the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

The mountain breeze blew slowly, bringing a hint of coolness, and slowly carried Guo Jia's slightly weak cough into Liu Yu's ears.

Liu Yu's heart tightened and he turned around with concern, only to see Guo Jia gently waving his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Liu Yu retracted his gaze and silently watched the increasingly intense battle on the battlefield. A trace of contemplation flashed across his eyes. After a moment, he slowly said: "Cai Mao was able to block Gan Ning's fierce attack so quickly and effectively. From this point of view, this person is really an expert in naval warfare and should not be underestimated.

If it weren't for Zhou Gongjin's planning and command, it would be hard to find anyone in our entire camp who could surpass him in the art of naval warfare."

Guo Jia replied calmly, "Liu Biao entered Jingzhou alone and was able to quickly stabilize the situation, thanks to Cai Mao.

He served as governor of Jiangxia, Nanjun, Zhangling and other counties, and was able to quickly pacify the local situation.

From this point, we can see that this person is not simple.

However, the stable situation in recent years has gradually made him lose his former vigilance, otherwise it would be difficult to defeat him.

Now that the Cai family controls the internal affairs and military affairs of Jingzhou, I am afraid even Liu Biao would be a little wary. "

Liu Yu nodded. According to the intelligence he had obtained, Liu Biao was more inclined to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Now he sent troops to Jiangxia, and he was afraid that Cai Mao was fanning the flames.
