Chapter 589 A Sneak Attack at Night

The Jingzhou Army's sterns rushed forward, driving mightily on the Han River, and rushed towards the Jinfan thief on the opposite side, with a strong attitude of biting the opponent and not letting go.

But Gan Ning chuckled: "Boys, don't get entangled with the enemy, retreat!"

When the Jinfan navy heard Gan Ning's order, the warships turned around and left without entangled with the Jingzhou army. So the Jinfan army ran in front and the Jingzhou army chased behind. However, when they saw the Jingzhou army Just when they were about to catch up with the Jinfan Army, there were a few more boats crossing the river.

Wenpin, who was standing on the bow of the stern boat, frowned: "What does Gan Ning, the water thief, want to do?"

Wang Wei shook his head: "This guy has been doing business on the river for a long time, and he is full of tricks in water battles."

"Hmph! Our Jingzhou navy is upright and upright. We can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

Just as Wenpin and Wang Wei were talking, they saw several boats above the water swarming towards the Jingzhou army. You must know that even Gan Ning's ships did not dare to confront the Jingzhou Navy head-on. How could these ships dare to go upstream?

After all, the veteran Wang Wei had a lot of experience. When he saw that these boats had very shallow drafts, he frowned and said: "They are fire boats! This damn Gan Ning actually wants to use fire attack tactics again!"

"Immediately send out mobile boats to fire the enemy's fireships. Be sure not to burn the boats."

A walking barge is just a small boat. It is easy to build and can be used by both military and civilian people. However, the warship is different. It requires experienced shipwrights to build it. Of course, losses must be avoided as much as possible.

The Jingzhou army's boat immediately slowed down, while the walking boat behind it moved forward rapidly. The Jingzhou soldiers on the boat stretched out their spears to hold back the burning walking boat, but it was not easy.

It turned out that Gan Ning actually connected these walking boats with each other, and the whole row of walking boats collided with each other uniformly.

Although the Jingzhou Army's walking boats took action to block the oncoming walking boats, due to the uneven force, some walking boats protruded forward and hit the Jingzhou Navy warship, and the flames spread from above.

The Jingzhou army who came out to intercept was shocked. They hurriedly took off their clothes and beat the flames.

"on fire!"

"Be careful, move back!"

Some Jingzhou soldiers were shocked when their bodies were lit by sparks. They hurriedly jumped into the water with a plop, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

When Wenpin saw this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Gan Ning, all the warships of our Jingzhou Navy are burning!"

Gan Ning and Pang De worked together to annihilate Zhang Yun's troops and captured three ships and more than ten ships of the Jingzhou Army. However, there were only more than 500 Jinfan thieves in total, and it was enough to control the original warships. Naturally, the captured warships were short of manpower and needed to train more naval forces. Therefore, after taking control of the three stern warships, they did not pay much attention to the remaining warships.

Therefore, Gan Ning simply used these walking boats for fire attacks today, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

"It doesn't matter." Wang Wei consoled him: "When our army wipes out this guy, it's just a few small boats, it's nothing."

"Well, let's wait until Gan Ning is wiped out." Wenpin said firmly.

However, Gan Ning was determined to stop the Jingzhou Navy on the Han River today, so he used all the methods he used when he was a water thief in the past. As a result, after being entangled for a whole day, the Jingzhou Navy still stayed on the Han River. Within Nanyang. However, Gan Ning also paid a price for this. All the dozen or so warships he looted from the Jingzhou Navy were burned to the ground. He even had a fierce battle with the Jingzhou Army, and a warship was rammed and sunk on the spot. .

"Boss, dozens of brothers were killed or injured today, and the fifth son is gone too!"

"Yes, boss, how long are we going to last? How about letting the Jingzhou Army go?"

"Yeah, ugh."

On the Jinfan Army's stern warship, a group of Jinfan thieves surrounded Gan Ning and kept complaining.

Gan Ning's face was cold and his eyebrows were furrowed.

"That's enough!" Gan Ning said coldly: "Since we have reached this point, we have to persevere no matter what. Are we going to be thieves for the rest of our lives?"

"You don't want to make your wife a shadow and strive for a good reputation. Could it be that you want your children to become thieves too?"

Seeing Gan Ning's surrounding eyes, the group of people lowered their heads and began to think.

That's right. Being a thief is indeed not a glorious thing. These days, good families are proud of being "good family members". Both the army and officials require good family members. Who doesn't want to honor their ancestors?

"Boss, just say it, everyone will listen to you."

Gan Ning nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, let's attack the camp at night tonight!"

"Surprise the camp at night?"

"Yes, we have few soldiers. We will definitely suffer losses in a bloody battle with the enemy. Only by attacking the camp at night can we have a chance of victory."

"But..." someone worried: "We need to have enough troops to attack the camp at night. Our number of troops is too small."

"It doesn't matter!" Gan Ning said loudly: "General Zhang Jaw has led the main force of the Nanyang Army southward along the Han River. As long as our army attacks the enemy camp at night, General Zhang will immediately lead his troops to attack. When the time comes, we will attack from both inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. In the army, everyone has a reward!"

Everyone said excitedly: "I am willing to follow the boss!"

Gan Ning nodded with satisfaction.

It was the third watch of the night shift, and the Jingzhou Navy warships were staying on the water. The warships guarding the outside had several lights on, always on guard against the enemy.

Several Jingzhou soldiers walked around on the deck from time to time, cursing in a low voice from time to time, complaining that others had not come to take over.

"These damn Jinfan thieves, if it weren't for them, wouldn't they have arrived home a long time ago?" A Jingzhou soldier lowered his head and cursed. Suddenly he felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawned. At this time, a gust of river wind happened. When he came, he immediately crossed his arms in the cold.

Bang!

"Um?"

When the Jingzhou soldiers heard this voice, they couldn't help but turn around in confusion. They saw an iron claw suddenly appear on the railing, and their expressions suddenly changed.

He held the spear tremblingly, walked over and said, "Who is it?"

Naturally, no one answered. He could faintly hear the rope shaking, and the Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly ran over.

"Hey!" However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the claw rope, startling the Jingzhou soldiers.

The Jingzhou soldiers took a closer look and saw a Jinfan thief wearing leather armor and holding a ring-headed sword with a fierce expression staring at him coldly, with a cold light emitting from his eyes.

"kill!"

The Jinfan thief gave a low shout and rushed forward in an instant, throwing out an arc of light with his ring-shou sword. The Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly took action to parry, but their moves became obsolete. The Jinfan thief had already been dodged by the Jinfan thief. The Jinfan thief was flexible and walked around from the side. He raised his sword high and suddenly dropped it!
