Chapter 729
Although Gan Ning didn't say the reason, how could Night Breeze not know.
You know, although Gan Ning has been in the navy, his hometown is Berkshire.
That's right!
Gan Ning was originally from Linjiang in Berkshire, and once served as the magistrate in Shu County.
You must know that this is the position of the second in command of a county, and a person with Gan Ning's personality has actually served it.
There are not many records in the historical materials, but Night Breeze only found out after he traveled over.
Gan Ning left Berkshire because he was persecuted there.
Because of his chivalrous style, he will use various methods to punish some local officials who have caused disasters in the village.
The Jinfan Bandit became famous at that time. Eliminate harm for the people, rob the rich and help the poor!
However, such a chivalrous Gan Ning still encountered collective resistance from his colleagues. They united and used despicable means to seize Gan Ning's official position and almost killed him.
If it weren't for the sincere and desperate resistance of the generals under his command, it is very likely that the current admiral Gan Ning would not exist!
Therefore, Gan Ning is supposed to help Zhang Fei attack Xiaba County this time, but in fact, he has his own ambitions!
He wants revenge!
Of course, the most luxurious thing is not the general camp, but the mighty three armies on the mighty Shuojiang River.
Zhang Fei had already Chen Bing in Zigui, and Liu Zhang in Chengdu couldn't hide this fact.
Therefore, he sent people to garrison in Hanguan, which was regarded as the first naval barrier in Bashu.
At this time, the main general defending the pass is Zhang Yi, a general under Liu Zhang's command!
Today he is patrolling the city gate!
Suddenly, a black line appeared above the river. Immediately afterwards, the black line gradually became thicker, faintly turning into a black cloth stretched across the river.
Moreover, this black cloth is gradually getting longer, covering the entire Yangtze River!
Zhang Ni's eyes widened, looking at the scene on the river, he couldn't help but gasp, the majesty swept over him, and he suddenly felt a numbness in his scalp and a chill in his back.
This hell... how many soldiers and horses are there?
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
A soldier called out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately afterwards, the dull drumming sounded.
Above the city gate, all the soldiers immediately entered the first-level security, with bows and crossbows in place, tracing stones and rolling logs all in place.
"Zhiniang thief, no way, there are so many people? How many warships are there? How many troops did Zhao thief bring? Have you seen the end? How many people are there?"
Everyone stood on the river, staring intently at the battleships on the river.
It's pitch black!
Like a black dragon crossing the border, it carries endless coercion.
"General, what should we do?" A soldier asked.
Zhang Ni couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, quickly came back to his senses, and immediately called out: "Where is the messenger?"
Underneath, a person flashed out: "The end is here."
Zhang Yi did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered: "Rush to Jiangzhou immediately and report to Old General Yan that Zhang Fei led an army of 500,000 sailors to storm our defense pass. This general is determined to defend the pass to repay Your Majesty's kindness .”
The orderly clasped his fists and said, "No!"
When the soldiers beside him heard the words, their complexion turned ashen, and they were all in a bad mood.
"500,000 soldiers? The bandit army actually has 500,000 soldiers?"
"Impossible! There are 500,000 soldiers and horses? I have never seen more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in my life, and the bandit army has 500,000 soldiers and horses?"
"My God! There are 500,000 soldiers and horses, and we only have 30,000 defenders at the most. How should we fight this battle? Even if we can fight ten against one, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the attack of the bandits."
In fact, whether there were 500,000 soldiers or horses, Zhang Yi couldn't tell.
Because he had never seen so many soldiers and horses! He just wanted to attract enough attention from Yan Yan of Jiangzhou through the huge number.
What's more, he felt that the number of soldiers and horses, even if there was water, would not have too much water!
because!
He had investigated before, and there were 150,000 defenders stationed in Zigui.
Moreover, there are still traces of military mobilization in the near future!
A rough estimate of 500,000 horses can be regarded as the data of the head!
Not a military lie!
In fact, how many troops does Zhang Fei have?
There are a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters, including those who invaded Jingzhou and the soldiers and horses who stopped the captives themselves.
The naval army led by the three veterans in Jiangdong has a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses! And the army and horses of the headquarters brought by Gan Ning have a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses!
The three armies add up to 285,000 men!
Zhang Ni, the general guarding the pass, has only 30,000 soldiers and horses!
Zhang Fei led the army, blatantly, and came to fight mightily.
Totally missed him!
He has never fought this kind of wealth battle, this is no longer a battle, but a unilateral crush!
Veteran Huang Gai asked: "General, let's attack defending the pass this time, how to fight, please order!"
Zhang Fei snorted lightly, and didn't take it seriously: "The bandit army is only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and we have nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses. What strategy and tactics are needed? The general's meaning is very simple, attack!"
Zhang Fei breathed out and gave the order domineeringly!
Man Chong beside him smiled indifferently: "It's just a defense, it can't stop us at all, then let General Gan Ning's navy take the lead. The power of the three-bow bed crossbow will definitely give the opponent a blow!"
Zhang Fei waved his hand: "Whatever! However, we have agreed in advance that he only has fifteen minutes to attack. If he can't win within fifteen minutes, Han Sheng and his son will lead the army to land and move back from the two wings to outflank the past. .”
Man Chong really wanted to laugh.
This is called a strong attack?
Brainless assault?
Zhang Fei obviously has a strategic plan, but from the bottom of his heart, he feels that he doesn't need his own strategy and tactics at all.
Of course, this is just his conjecture.
As for the overall strength of the opponent, that is another matter.
If the opponent is really powerful, Zhang Fei will definitely order to land and fight without hesitation, assist the water army from land, and forcefully break through.
Zhang Fei knew Huang Zhong's strength.
As long as this old general goes out and wins a small pass, it's no problem at all.
Man Chong waved his hand and signaled the orderly to issue a large army order.
In an instant, the red and green flags flashed on the command ship.
The mighty battleship group immediately returned to formation, opening a path from the inside.
Gan Ning's navy immediately appeared at the forefront, braved the wind and waves, and approached Hanguan.
The river wind howls!
Gan Ning stepped on the female wall of the battleship, looked at Hanguan in the distance, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, thinking to himself: "Bergoon, I, Gan Ning, have finally returned!"
His eyes are fixed on the battlefield!
This is the first battle on the southern front, Zhang Fei can give the credit for this first battle to Gan Ning!
Gan Ning felt that he must beat the opponent to pieces!
wave.
The two lieutenants Ma Zhong and Tan Xiong stepped forward, cupping their fists.
Gan Ning ordered: "Order the gunners to get ready. When you are a thousand steps away from the defense pass, send two shots to the general first, say hello to the opponent, and tell them that I, Gan Ning, have finally returned."
