Chapter 750 Battle of Dongting Lake 8

Ganjun's actions have not attracted Shunjun's attention.

Taking the east-west central line of Dongting Lake as the boundary, the north is the activity range of the Qianjun, and it is inevitable that it will follow the army.

It's not that it's completely impossible to cross the line. Dongting Lake is so wide that it's impossible to block it all. It's just that the risk of crossing the line is too great. The Shun Army generally won't cross the line to conduct reconnaissance in the northern part of Dongting Lake.

Even if we come, it will be in the afternoon or evening after the water battle.

You didn't come here looking for death. The Qian army was preparing to go into battle. If you came here to scout, the bottom of the boat would be overturned by you!

Qianjun often rowed small boats to the south of Dongting Lake for reconnaissance. It was not that they were rampant, but that their boats were special. After being modified by craftsmen from the Craftsmanship Institute, they could row faster than Shunjun's boats. As long as they were not surrounded by Shunjun, they could Not afraid of being chased by the army.

Shunjun also knew that Ganjun would come over in a small boat whenever he had something to do, and the speed was so fast that they couldn't catch up. They had chased him several times, and they almost died of exhaustion before they could catch up.

Later, he gave up chasing Qian Jun and just drove them away after discovering that they were coming.

Anyway, Ganjun didn't dare to get too close. Ganjun's boat had undergone power transformation, and the conversion of kinetic energy into rowing was greatly improved, so the speed increased. However, the hull was still wooden. If he got too close, Shunjun would hit him. Even if it is hit by a crossbow, it will be severely damaged. If the ship sinks, it will be fine. If it is captured by the Shun army, it may cause the technology to be leaked.

Ganjun has telescopes, so he doesn't have to get too close when scouting for intelligence.

It's just a little strange today. Shun Jun, who got up early, didn't notice Qian Jun's reconnaissance ship coming.

"What? Isn't Qianguo planning to start a war today?"

A soldier from the Shun Army said with joy on his face.

The boring water battles for days not only tortured the Ganjun, but also the Shunjun had long been bored.

Just not fighting is not enough. If Ganjun launches an attack, Shunjun will naturally respond.

Before every day's attack, Ganjun would send small boats across the border to conduct reconnaissance before launching an attack.

If there is no boat coming today, will Qianjun not launch an attack soon?

The thought of being able to rest for a day made Shunjun on the ship feel much happier.

"It would be better if I could rest for a few more days!"

Another Shunjun next to him said: "That's a good idea. I guess Ganjun doesn't want to fight in windy weather. With such strong winds, water battles are too dangerous."

There are many risks when boating on Dongting Lake. The bottom of the lake is not flat. Have you ever seen the reefs at the bottom of the lake? There are many in Dongting Lake.

Moreover, the dangers in this lake are not only the terrain at the bottom of the lake, but also the whirlpools that appear from time to time. The huge water beasts in the water can easily overturn a ship less than seven feet long.

The warships of Qian and Shun that fought on Dongting Lake during this period, let's call them warships for the time being, were no more than this size.

Fortunately, they formed a fleet and moved together. As long as they did not encounter whirlpools or undercurrents, ordinary water beasts would not dare to provoke them.

The Shun army on the lake sent the news back to the shore that Gan Jun had not been found. The Shun Jun generals in the camp also believed that Qian Jun might not attack today.

Only Liu Jiwu didn't think so.

"You are thinking too well. Qianjun will never give up the attack because of the strong wind. We are all ready to counterattack.

Liu Hu, you must also defend well and don't let Ganjun suddenly run to the shore and the raid is successful. "

Liu Hu and others were in charge of many military strongholds on the south bank of Dongting Lake. They went crazy today. Liu Jiwu was worried that Qian's army would follow the strong wind and land all the way ashore from other places to sneak attack on the military strongholds.

"Don't worry, Commander. I will personally lead people to inspect various military camps, and I will definitely not give any opportunity to the army."

Liu Jiwu nodded.

He still has great trust in his generals. Besides, who can he trust if he doesn't trust them at this time?

Liu Jiwu had a hunch that Qianjun would definitely take action today.

This premonition cast a layer of gloom in his heart. Xu Fan's navy wouldn't come out until tomorrow. Even if he ordered Xu to rush to the front line now, it would be too late.

Maybe I just think too much!

At this time, Liu Jiwu couldn't help but feel lucky.

The wind outside is so strong and the lake is not calm. The Qian Kingdom's naval force is very weak. They should not take the risk of going to the lake in such weather.

Although he thought Gan Jun would not come out, Liu Jiwu still sent people to the lake to monitor Gan Jun's situation.

Gu Tan</span> "Be more careful and pay attention to the direction of the wind and the movement of the army."

"yes."

A dozen small boats carried more than seventy soldiers to the center of Dongting Lake.

Liu Jiwu actually wants to send more reconnaissance boats to the lake to monitor the movements of Qian Jun. Today is the time when Qian Jun is the best and there may be changes. As long as today passes, Liu Jiwu will have the confidence to fight back against Qian Jun!

one day!

Give me one more day!

I will make sure that Qian Guo doesn’t dare to have a single thought about Nanhu County again!

Liu Jiwu probably did not expect that the reconnaissance ship he sent out would obtain accurate information so quickly.

Almost when he turned back to the barracks and sat down, the scouts from Shunjun came back.

"Commander, the enemy has been discovered!"

It turned out that the Shunjun scouts immediately returned to the shore to report to Liu Jiwu after discovering that there were no Ganjun troops on the lake in the morning.

But not all of them returned; two boats remained on the lake.

They didn't have any goals, except that a scout leader thought they should leave two boats on the lake.

“Please be safe and don’t be knocked over by wind and waves.

If Gan Jun appears on the lake, don't get close and go back and report immediately! "

Ganjun appeared on the lake and happened to be seen by them.

Amid the north wind, the fleet of ships, which covered the sky and blocked the sun, rushed towards the center of Dongting Lake quickly.

Today's wind is very strong, but the weather is very clear. The clouds in the sky seem to have been blown to the extreme south by the north wind, and the sky above Dongting Lake is cloudless.

The huge fleet of ships sailed on the lake and could be seen clearly from miles away.

The two Shunjun scout ships immediately reacted, saying that Ganjun was making a big move!

"You send the information back, and I'll keep an eye on Qian Jun on the lake, and paddle me to death!"

The scout ship that went back to deliver information happened to encounter the scouts Liu Jiwu had just sent out halfway.

That's right, don't go either, let's go back together!

When the Shun Army scouts sent the information to Liu Jiwu, the main force of the Qian Army had already crossed the center line of Dongting Lake.

Normally there is no such speed, but today is unusual.

With the blessing of the north wind, Ganjun's boat seemed to have twice as many soldiers rowing, and the speed increased not just a little bit.

This is an advantage of having a tailwind, but it will also become their disadvantage when the boat is anchored.

Can't stop the ship!

However, Zhao Long had no intention of letting the boat in front of him stop safely.

Don't stop! Don't stop!

He rushed into the Shunjun fleet in one breath and rushed to the military camp on the south bank!

Seeing the Qianjun fleet approaching them quickly, Shunjun's scout boat could only turn around and paddle towards the south bank together.

Viewed from the air, the Shunjun scout ship seemed to be a guide for Ganjun, leading them towards the base camp on the south bank.

The route that used to take half an hour was completed in less than a quarter of an hour today.

Liu Jiwu didn't even have time to order more arrangements and could only lead the fleet to attack in a hurry.

Liu Jiwu stood at the bow of the boat with a sad look on his face.

Can he successfully resist Qian Jun's attack this time?
