Chapter 461
"Full sail, don't slow down, just crash into the middle!"
"Leave some gods on the southern shore, don't throw my life here!"
Seeing that the fleet that Cao Jun crossed the river was getting closer and closer, Gan Ning shouted in a loud voice.
"Don't worry, brothers are going to stay and go back and hug the wife!"
"Old Lei, you're always thinking about holding your wife. Don't look when you go back, the things in your crotch are gone!"
"Damn your mother, Wu San, you dare to curse me!"
…………
"Hahaha..." Gan Ning laughed loudly when he heard the rude shouts that kept ringing from both sides. The heroic and wanton laughter kept drifting into the distance in the wind.
In order to carry out a surprise attack, Gan Ning threw the main force of the navy to Ding Feng, and he led the fastest and most solid sixty-two Mengchong ships, and the boats and warships advanced westward first.
Since they used small and medium-sized warships, some obstacles set up by Cao Cao in several sections of the Yellow River did not delay Gan Ning's actions.
Using his world-class water battle skills and experience, coupled with the early survey of the hydrology of the Yellow River, Gan Ning was extremely bold in sailing at night. With the protection of the night, he finally successfully concealed the surveillance made by Cao's army.
After dawn, the wind became stronger and the speed of the warships was already making Cao's careful action, which was too late to react.
Although the intention of the raid was achieved, the comparison of troops between the enemy and us also reached a terrifying level. The 58 Mengchong and warships in Ganning were sank (four warships sank in danger during the night trip), and the total number of soldiers was 1,073.
According to the news of the Cao army crossing the river in Baimajin, according to the news of the detailed work hidden in Hebei, it is conservatively estimated that there are about 20,000 people. The Cao army is still on the river surface alone, perhaps there are nearly 1,000 people.
Fortunately, the battlefield is located in the river, not on the shore.
Above rivers, lakes, rivers and seas, the Jinfan navy is the king, the invincible real king.
.
"Scall, scall, sink those enemy ships!"
General Jianwei Gao Rou waved his right arm vigorously and let out an angry roar.
Thousands of crossbow arrows rose into the air and poured down the river with a shrill whistle.
But these arrows carrying Gao Rou hope disappointed him greatly - most of the arrows fell into emptied. In the rushing river, they could not even stir up any waves.
There were very few arrows hitting the target, and they were eventually bounced away by the hull covered with cooked leather.
After the same result occurred in two consecutive rounds of volleys, Gao Rou woke up as if she was dreaming and realized that she had made a big mistake. Today, the southeast wind was in full swing. Although it helped to expand the range of crossbows, the accuracy of the bow and arrow shooting was greatly reduced.
Furthermore, the Jinfan Navy warship did not rush towards the Cao army archers. Instead, it passed by side. In addition, its speed was too fast, and often when the arrows fell, the warship had already sailed farther forward.
Moreover, as an opponent, Gan Ning has been fighting in bloody storm for nearly twenty years. His experience and his grasp of the situation on the battlefield are far from Gao Rou, who is slightly unfamiliar with the battle formation experience.
From the beginning, he had anticipated the possible situations and chose the most appropriate response strategy.
But I have to admit that the surface of the Yellow River is too wide, so wide that it makes Cao Jun's crossbow weak.
.
In just a few breaths, dozens of Jinfan Navy warships had already narrowed their distance from Cao's ferry like arrows.
The Cao army soldiers were still stranded on the river, looking at the enemy ships in fear. Many of them were recruits, and they had almost never experienced water battles, even land battles.
There are not many northerners who are familiar with water. People who are not familiar with water have a natural fear of water.
The situation in front of them was completely frightened. In a panic, many people shouted wildly, desperately urging the people who were driving the boat to hurry up and go to the dock.
But their panic reaction not only failed to alleviate the situation, but made the situation worse. Several ships actually collided with their own people, and then involved other ships and rafts. Some soldiers with unstable footholds immediately fell into the river...
In this panic, the enemy is approaching.
The Jinfan warship with all the sails was covered. It was unceremonious and crashed in in the middle of the huge rumbling sound. There was a roar of ghosts and wolves howling, and the ship was overturned.
The bows of Jinfan warships were equipped with impact angles. With extremely rapid guidance, once the impact angle made of fine iron hits those civilian ships, it often does not fall over, but directly breaks.
A considerable number of Cao's ships were knocked into two pieces on the spot.
Countless Cao soldiers fell into the Yellow River with despair. In this surging river, people with extremely skilled water may be able to escape danger, which is generally equivalent to being sentenced to death.
Countless waters were drifted on the surface of the river, and after a moment, the originally living people were swallowed by the ruthless Yellow River.
"Kill~~!" Gan Ning jumped onto a large ship in Cao's army and split a Cao soldier into two petals on the head.
.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, Cao Cao could only watch the nearly a thousand soldiers stranded on the river were slaughtered, and he could not come up with any solution.
Many generals asked Cao Cao for his orders anxiously, hoping to support the slaughtered soldiers.
But Cao Cao refused firmly. He knew very well that even if he sent many people to the river, he would never be the opponent of Gan Ning, who was proficient in water warfare. What's more, the boats on the dock were quite limited, so the soldiers would not be allowed to swim in the river.
What is the difference between doing that and suicide?
The Cao soldiers near the south bank were a little lucky. With the support of the crossbow, they finally had time to land, and only suffered other soldiers in the river. Because Gan Ning did not accommodate prisoners at all...
In half an hour, Ganning had cleared the Yellow River surface in the Baimajin area. 6,70 boats and rafts were destroyed, and 8,900 Cao soldiers were buried in the belly of fish.
What's even more exaggerated is that Gan Ning was not "satisfied" with such a record. He "actually" led 6,700 brave soldiers to rush directly to the north bank and launched an attack on more than 2,000 Cao troops who were stranded before crossing the river.
……………………………………………………….
The White Horse City, shrouded in the night, looks particularly solemn.
In the barracks outside the city, groups of Cao soldiers surrounded the bonfire to dispel the cold at night, while whispering to the battle during the day.
That battle was more like a massacre than a battle. The soldiers of Cao's army, who had the "fortunateness" witnessed, were shocked and helpless at the tragic situation of their companions, and were very nervous about the strength of the Jinfan Navy Army on the water.
If possible, it is best not to encounter the Jinfan Navy on the water, because that would be a nightmare.
Some people with more flexible minds have already thought of another serious problem - if the Jinfan Navy blocked the Yellow River, would there be a chance to return to Hebei?

Inside the White Horse City Council Hall
"From Gan Ning's performance today, he could have arrived at Baimajin a few days earlier to stop our Hebei soldiers from crossing south.
But he insisted on dragging it to the present..." Cao Cao threw the military intelligence book in his hand on the table, frowned and said, "This can only show one thing--Yun Chang and Zhuge Liang are indeed using their bodies as bait to lure our army to fight to the death with him, and then fight to determine the world.
They even planned to Hebei..."
Jia Xu nodded.
As Cao Cao said, when it was possible to blockade the Yellow River in advance, Gan Ning has been dragging it to the present, and it is really strange that there is no mystery here! In terms of what happened before and after, the most likely conclusion is that Guan Yu is preparing to concentrate Cao's army to the greatest extent, and then completely annihilate Cao's army's vitality in a large-scale decisive battle.
In this way, after taking down the Central Plains, Liu Bei could save the difficult Hebei strategy battle in the future.
"Fortunately, most of the 50,000 troops have been crossed, and it will not affect the Prime Minister's plan." Jia Xu comforted Cao Cao and said.
In addition to Baimajin, the 20,000 troops in Guandu also successfully crossed the Yellow River and are currently rushing towards Baima. Once they meet, they can also raise a considerable force of more than 46,000 people.
"Maybe, it's not that simple..." Cao Cao's expression was still solemn, "At this point, Yun Chang and I are already clearly chariots and horses, and we know each other's plans well, and we cannot and do not have the need to design and plan.
The key to this battle is whether I will destroy Yun Chang first, or whether Yun Chang will persist until Liu Bei and Zhang Fei come to the east.
Yun Chang's plan was bold and thoughtful, and he was quite clever, but it must not be his own hands, but it should have been designed by Zhuge Liang.
With this person's scheming, he must rely on something to set up such a bold plan.
It was a little unclear before, but after today's war, I roughly guessed Zhuge Liang's reliance———”
Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "The Prime Minister is referring to... the new recruits of our army?"
"Yeah..." Cao Cao gently stroked his long beard and responded lowly.
What made Cao Cao feel the most deeply was not how Gan Ning wanted to slaughter Cao soldiers stranded on the river, but the scene after he killed the north shore - more than 2,000 Cao soldiers were actually killed by the fierce soldiers of nearly Qianjinfan Navy.
It is hard to imagine that such soldiers really go to the battlefield. No matter how many people are, they may not be able to escape defeat when encountering a real bloody battle!
"At this point, I can only take one step at a time..."
