Chapter 533: Sneak Attack on Wuxian Port

The port of Wu County is located in the rear of Liu Biao's navy, so there are not many soldiers stationed there.

Cai Mao concentrated the main defense forces in Wu County. As long as Wu County is not lost, the land route will be guaranteed, and the Jingzhou Army's retreat will not be cut off.

The sky was already very dark, and there were only sporadic lights of fire in the entire water village. Judging from the lazy posture of the soldiers, the defense had become extremely perfunctory.

However, in the darkness, it was not as calm as usual. Countless figures were moving and gathering in the direction of the water village.

"Brother Gan, these are real warships. There are probably hundreds of them! If we have these warships, why should we be afraid of the Jingzhou navy!"

Zhou Tai's eyes were full of envy, thinking that the Jinfan Army was still training with bamboo rafts and small boats, but the Jingzhou Navy was full of warships!

"It's okay, my lord once told me in private that there will be bread and milk!"

Gan Ning said so, but in fact, looking at the warships in the water village, he kept swallowing his saliva.

"Brother Gan, what is milk? What is bread?"

Faced with Zhou Tai's doubts, Gan Ning's cheeks kept twitching.

He also asked Liu Zhang the same question, but Liu Zhang faltered and explained for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't understand.

"Milk is cow's milk, and bread is buns made of flour!"

Zhou Tai really believed Gan Ning's nonsense, he suddenly realized and nodded, with admiration in his eyes.

"I see! As expected of the lord, I have never heard that cow's milk can still be drunk!"

"Well, cough cough! You Ping, are all the fire starters ready?"

Gan Ning quickly changed the topic, he felt embarrassed.

"Brother Gan, is it really going to be burned? It's a pity! If we can get these warships back to our water village, wouldn't it be a fortune!"

As expected of being a water thief, he is still thinking about getting rich at this hour.

Although Gan Ning was also a water thief, he was much more sensible than Zhou Tai, so he immediately rejected Zhou Tai's idea.

"Youping, don't you understand why Cai Mao parked his boat here? If the Three Gorges were really so easy to go upstream, Jingzhou's warship would have parked at the gate of Yufu City long ago!"

"Besides, we don't even have a water village. Wasn't it destroyed before we entered the city?"

When Cai Mao attacked, after discussing with Xu Huang, Gan Ning decisively decided to abandon the water fortress outside the city, and the whole army retreated to Baidi City.

When evacuating the water village, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and every soldier down there showed no reluctance, some even had secret joy in their eyes!

The water village is too simple, according to Zhou Tai's description, it is only slightly stronger than his previous water thief village!

When Cai Mao led the army to arrive, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the water village had not been destroyed.

If the water fortress is intact, he can let the navy bring up the warships, and at most it will take some energy.

But when he stood at the gate of the water village, he immediately rejected this idea.

Cai Mao had no desire to go in, so he turned his head and left without a trace of nostalgia!

Too broken!

Cai Mao had never seen such a dilapidated water fortress since he was born, and he lost the thought of moving the warship right away.

In the end, the original appearance was maintained, and all the warships stopped at the port of Wu County.

"Youping, I heard that General Taishi captured General Jingzhou in Hanzhong. As long as we capture Cai Mao and others, it will be a breeze to exchange them for some warships! Especially Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, Liu Biao dare not save them. Then he, Jingzhou Shepherd, has accomplished it!"

Why Gan Ning is so confident is because Xun You has already figured everything out!

What would Gan Ning and others, who usually trained with bamboo rafts and boats, look like when they saw the warships of the Jingzhou Navy?

It's like a local leopard entering the city, open your eyes!

Xun You gave Gan Ning thousands of exhortations, ten thousand exhortations, so that he must not be reluctant. And assure him that after this battle, the Yizhou navy will never lack these.

Gan Ning had great ambitions, and naturally he would not disobey the military order for a few warships, so he immediately made a promise to Xun You.

Gan Ning is very lucky at this moment, fortunately Xun You specially told him, otherwise Zhou Tai would really be influenced by Zhou Tai and become obsessed with money!

"Well, everything is up to Brother Gan! Tell me, I will do whatever you want me to do!"

Zhou Tai has the temperament of a water thief, but he also has a particularly good advantage.

Very obedient, especially what Gan Ning said, Zhou Tai will carry it out seriously in the end.

"Youping, you and I will each lead 500 people to touch in from both sides. Move quickly and try not to wake up the soldiers inside."

No matter how small the number of people in the water village is, there must be hundreds of people. After arson, Gan Ning had other tasks and could not waste time fighting the enemy.

"Don't worry, the brothers I brought this time are all old brothers of the Jiujiang Water Pirates!"

Gan Ning nodded, not only Zhou Tai, he also brought the old team of Jinfan Bandits, just to be safe.

"Go, act!"

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai bit the branches with their mouths to prevent unnecessary noise, and then led their respective soldiers towards the gate of the water village.

The two moved very quickly. The two drowsy soldiers didn't respond at all, and their necks were cut off, and they didn't make a sound until they died!

"Youping, move fast!"

"Obey!"

The two immediately split up and rushed towards the warship with the fire starter.

At the same time, outside Cai Mao's camp, there have been unusual movements faintly.

However, the night shrouded the land, and the soldiers guarding the camp didn't notice anything at all, and they were also leaning against the fence and falling asleep at this time.

"Military division, the three armies are all in place, and we can launch a surprise attack immediately after the military division gives an order!"

Xu Huang quietly approached Xun You and reported to him the situation of the army.

"Okay, just wait for General Gan Ning to succeed, Wu County is on fire, and launch an attack immediately!"

During the confrontation for more than a month, Yufu and Baidicheng never dispatched a single soldier, and they never had the intention to take the initiative to attack.

Since there is no combat mission, the Jingzhou Army is completely relaxed from top to bottom.

The chief general, Cai Mao, was the most exaggerated, drinking and having fun all day long, and handing over all affairs in the army to his younger brother Cai He.

Even the only wise man in the army, Kuai Yue, the number two figure of the Kuai clan, did not speak out to persuade him.

The current situation is too clear, the total number of troops from all walks of life is at least 400,000! Even though Liu Zhang has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult to deal with it.

Right now, there is no need for the Jingzhou navy to be in a hurry, waiting for all the armies to break through the Yizhou defense line, then Yufu and Baidi City will naturally surrender their cities.

But all the good things will not come as promised in the end, the messenger who came from Xiangyang suddenly broke all the thoughts of Kuai Yue.

"What did you say? Zhang Yun of Hanshui was defeated? The whole army was wiped out!"

Kuai Yue's eyes widened, he couldn't accept the news.
