Chapter 580 Gan Pang Meeting

These Jingzhou soldiers didn't even care about the grain and grass ships. They took off their armor and threw it into the water. Then they jumped into the water and swam towards both sides of the Han River.

"Shoot the enemy!"

Upon hearing Gan Ning's order, the Jinfan thieves picked up their bows and arrows, pointed them at the Jingzhou soldiers in the water, and stringed their bows.

The Jingzhou soldiers who were swimming forward in the water suddenly changed their expressions when they heard the sound of bows and strings being drawn behind them. They waved their arms vigorously, creating huge splashes on the water. More people took a deep breath. It sank directly into the water, and only a vague shadow of the water could be seen.

However, the Jinfan thief holding the long bow was not in a hurry to shoot the bow. He just aimed at the moving water shadow and silently waited for the opportunity.

No matter how big your lung capacity is, it is impossible for a person not to surface for air.

"call!"

The Jingzhou soldier held his breath and swam forward desperately. He couldn't help but then stretched his head out of the water.

Whoosh!

The Jinfan thief, who had already drawn his bow and was ready to go, let go of the bowstring, and the wolf-fang arrow flew out with great strength, hitting the Jingzhou soldier's neck hard, and a pool of blood immediately spread in the water.

The Jinfan thieves fired several rounds in succession, and most of the Jingzhou soldiers were killed. Only a few lucky Jingzhou soldiers barely escaped, rolling and crawling to the shore without even bothering to shake off the water on their bodies. He ran forward desperately, looking back from time to time, for fear that an arrow would suddenly shoot out from behind and kill him.

Gan Ning snorted: "Your fortune is good."

But at this moment, not far ahead, smoke and dust suddenly billowed, and thousands of horses were seen galloping towards them with billowing yellow dust. The knights on the horses were wearing armor and holding spears, and looked capable. These knights were sitting on horseback, their bodies rising and falling slightly with the movements of their horses. They were obviously all skilled in horseback riding.

"Boss, there are cavalry!"

Although the Jinfan thieves roamed the Yangtze River and fought with the Yizhou Army, Jingzhou Army, and Yangzhou Army, and even saw buildings and battleships as tall as buildings, but as the saying goes, ships in the south and horses in the north have become organized I have never seen a cavalry unit before.

Throughout the south of the Yangtze River, war horse resources were very scarce and could only be rationed to generals. Even some low-level generals were not qualified to ride war horses, let alone form a special cavalry unit.

"Don't panic." Gan Ning said calmly: "Gather the warships to the west bank of the Han River and see where this group of cavalry came from and what they want to do?"

The Jinfan thieves controlled the Jinfan warship and more than ten Jingzhou Army grain transport ships to slowly approach the west bank of the Han River, gathered into a fleet, and watched the cavalry troops on the opposite side across the water.

"Uu——"

The Xiliang cavalry slowed down and stopped slowly when they were some distance away from the Jin Sailing Fleet.

Gan Ning could see clearly now. It turned out that the cavalry unit had a flag with the character "Pang" in it.

At the same time, Pang De was also watching the fleet on the opposite side.

"It's interesting." Pound smiled to both of them and said, "There is a brocade sail hanging on the mast. I have never heard of it."

Pang De was born in Liangzhou. Although he followed Liu Ye westward out of Tongguan, he had only traveled across the north and never been to the south. Naturally, he did not know the name of the Jinfan thief.

"General, this water thief seems to have intercepted the grain transport ship of the Jingzhou Army. He seems to be a friend rather than an enemy."

"Well, that makes some sense." Pang De nodded with approval, and then ordered behind him: "Don't move lightly, I will personally come forward to ask questions."

He slowly rode his horse to the shore. The white horse raised its hooves curiously, tapped the water gently, then remained motionless and snorted.

Pound, on the other hand, held the reins and was followed by more than ten riders.

"I wonder which hero is on the water?"

Pang De clasped his fists and said loudly: "Under the general's command, the imperial court was ruthless by the bandit general Pang De, and Liu Biao rebelled against the imperial court and besieged Nanyang. His crime will not be pardoned. I hope that the hero will report his name, and the imperial court will give him his own reward."

When Gan Ning's entourage heard the shouting, his eyes lit up and he excitedly said to Gan Ning: "Boss, it's the Liangzhou Army!"

It was Su Fei who suggested that Gan Ning go north to join Liu Ye. The reason was that Liu Ye was building a new navy and needed generals who were proficient in water warfare. Gan Ning would definitely come in handy.

"shut up."

Gan Ning slapped his attendant on the head, looked at Pang De, and responded: "I am Jinfan Gan Ning. I wonder if there is any reward from the imperial court?"

Pang De smiled slightly, stepped back, and then shouted: "If Yingxiong Gan is interested and I am sincere, how about we come ashore to talk?"

Seeing Pang De retreating, Gan Ning secretly praised Pang De's heroic spirit and thought to himself: Since he is sincere, how can I let him underestimate him?

"Okay! I'm here." Gan Ning roared, and regardless of the obstruction of the Jinfan thief beside him, he rode a walking boat alone and slowly approached the east bank of Han River.

The Jinfan thieves behind him looked ahead with some worry, and they all tightened their swords in their hands, fearing that something might happen to Gan Ning.

"Really, the officers and soldiers can't be trusted, and we don't know what the boss is planning. Why don't we just live happily on our own?"

"Yes, the boss probably wants to be an official. I don't understand. How can being an official be as happy as being a thief?"

"Tsk, tsk, there's nothing we can do, just wait, keep an eye on everyone, don't let the boss suffer."

Under the watchful eyes of many Jinfan thieves, Gan Ning's walking boat approached the east bank, and Gan Ning jumped down to the shore.

"Hahaha, Brother Gan is really brave!"

Seeing Gan Ning coming by boat, Pang De laughed, held on to the saddle, jumped off, stuck the horse's pin on the ground, and walked towards Gan Ning with a smile.

This action immediately won Gan Ning's favor. When Huang Zuping saw him, he was extremely arrogant and wanted to raise his eyes to the sky, but Pang De took the initiative to dismount.

"General Pang, I'm Gan Ning, I've admired you for a long time!"

Gan Ning stood firm on his feet and cupped his fists.

"Zhuangshi Gan is really heroic." Pound raised his hands and smiled: "There are not many heroes on the river who dare to intercept and kill Jingzhou Navy. Zhuangjiang Gan is really heroic."

"Haha, the Jingzhou water fish is nothing. Even Huang Zu and Cai Mao can be captured in one fight!" Gan Ning said proudly.

Pang De frowned. First he felt that this person seemed a bit loud, and then he heard something was wrong.

"There seems to be some conflict between Gan Zhuangshi and the Jingzhou Army?" Pang De asked tentatively.

Gan Ning's face suddenly darkened when he heard this: "It's a bit contradictory. Sooner or later, Gan will tear off the head of this old thief Huang Zu!"

What Gan Ning hated most in his life was that others looked down upon him. Because he wanted to make great achievements, he had to defect to Huang Zu, but he was despised instead. Therefore, Gan Ning's hatred for Huang Zu was raging.
