【Chapter 099】
() Midnight is coming slowly. At this moment, the area near Niuzhu is completely silent. If you listen carefully, you can only hear the rustling of insects. At this moment, you can faintly see a fleet of boats speeding on the water in the distance.
Coming.
In addition to ten barges, five military sterns, and even a small building ship, we could also vaguely see dozens of rafts in front of us, and there were numerous figures on the rafts.
On the river bank, Zheng Bao looked into the distance from time to time. Seeing the fleet getting closer and closer, the joy on his face became more intense: "It seems that Wu Zhaohou has brought a lot of people this time! He even has a raft.
It’s all been used!”
On the side, Liu Ziyang looked at the river surface through the moonlight. After a moment, the light in his eyes flashed away, and he said with a faint smile: "As the leader of a force, Wu Zhaohou naturally has to think about his own safety. If there are fewer people,
It’s even more suspicious!”
Hearing this, Zheng Bao nodded happily, then walked to the other end of the grassy area and whispered: "Ready!"
Rustling!
The grass was suddenly lifted up, revealing the appearance of a soldier. The soldier nodded and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, sir!"
"That's good!"
Zheng Bao nodded, turned and left.
...
In less than a quarter of an hour, the raft was almost approaching the front cone.
Almost no one gave orders. Dozens of people hiding in the grass saw the raft floating on top of the iron cone, and they all pulled the iron cone!
Click, click, click!
The iron awl like a fishhook (not a sharp one, like a dagger) hooked directly onto the raft like a gangrene attached to the bone.
"Walk!"
A loud shout rang out, and the soldiers on both sides of the Yangtze River pulled the raft together and hit the iron rope not far away. As long as the raft was entangled on the iron rope, half of the work was done!
Gan Ning, who was standing on a stern, saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hand to signal the fleet to follow.
Almost as Zheng Bao imagined, there was no surprise. For a moment, Zheng Bao's figure lurking in the grass was trembling with excitement, and his eyes were full of greed, which was greed for fame and fortune!
Gan Ning looked at the iron rope that was getting closer and closer, with murderous intent in his heart.
Although I don’t know who did it, there is no doubt that I came here for Wu Zhaohou! As long as you go against Wu Zhaohou, you are going against him Gan Ning!
Although Gan Ning has a violent temper, he is extremely affectionate. Once he identifies with someone, he will sincerely get along with him. Otherwise, in history, he would not kowtow to his head at Sun Quan's celebration banquet until his head bleeds in order to save Su Fei!
Twenty meters!
Ten meters!
five meters...
Gan Ning's eyes suddenly erupted with a burst of light, and he shouted angrily: "Light the torch, wait until the raft gets close to the iron rope, then set it on fire!"
"promise."
The roar in the night was extremely clear, and the group of Jinfan thieves suddenly agreed, their eyes filled with madness!
Almost every Jinfan thief is a brave and ruthless person. Otherwise, they would not have followed Gan Ning across the sea and robbed everywhere!
However, ever since Gan Ning surrendered to Huang Zu and even wanted to serve under Liu Biao, the Jinfan thieves had been stuck in the reeds, and there had never been another exciting battle!
Today, the war finally reignited, and all the Jinfan thieves suddenly went crazy! Someone pulled the iron cone, which means there are enemies on both sides of the strait!
If we don’t fight now, when will we wait?
Hundreds of people lit torches together and threw them toward the raft.
Bang! Bang! Puff! Puff!....
When the lit torch touched the raft covered with sesame oil, it was instantly ignited, and the sound of explosion was endless!
Zheng Bao, who was on the bank of the river, looked at the raging fire that suddenly rose. He was stunned on the spot, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down his cheeks to the ground.
Marquis Wu Zhao had already discovered his iron rope across the river?
Zheng Bao never thought that Yun Ye would be traveling with the Jinfan Thieves! What kind of soldiers and horses are the Jinfan Thieves? They are also water pirates! On the river, if he didn't have the ability to see fire and see into ambushes, he would have been killed by the Jingzhou Navy.
It was wiped out!
The iron rope severely blocked the raft, making it impossible to move forward even an inch!
However, dozens of rafts also turned into a huge fire at the same time, as if they were about to ignite the entire river. The raging fire rose into the wind and lit up half of the sky!
Tsk tsk tsk!!
The sound of bursts of iron ropes being melted by the monstrous fire was particularly harsh on the shore of Uuzhu!
There were even unlucky soldiers standing by the river, who were thrown directly onto the raft by the sudden flames. In a moment, they were engulfed in raging fire, leaving only bursts of wailing, and turned into powder in pain!
When Zheng Bao saw this scene, he didn't care to hide it. He rushed out in panic and ordered in a trembling voice: "Quick! Untie the iron rope quickly!"
"Get off the boat and kill the people who are ambushing you!" Gan Ning's eyes lit up when he saw Zheng Bao rushing out. He jumped off the boat with a big knife and rushed towards Zheng Bao.
The other Jinfan thieves screamed and jumped off the ship one by one, and rushed towards the ambushed soldiers on both sides of the river frantically.
Although Zheng Bao brought thousands of troops with him this time, they were scattered on both sides, and all his momentum was wiped out by Yun Ye's beacon fire that cut off the iron ropes. He was rushed to death by the fierce and aggressive Jinfan thieves, and was instantly defeated!
"Mother!"
When Zheng Bao saw Gan Ning, who was dressed in brocade clothes and was so aggressive, he screamed, jumped into the grass with a pale face, and hid.
In the dark night, even though the sky was filled with flames, Gan Ning still lost the trace of Zheng Bao. A flash of anger emerged in his eyes. He killed a soldier of Zheng Bao who was trying to attack in a sneak attack. He then wiped the blood-stained sword.
Holding the long knife upside down, he headed towards the cockroach.
At this moment, Yun Ye stood on the plank of the building ship with his hands behind his back, looking at Gan Ning who was walking toward the ship, and ordered: "Let the soldiers return to the army! It is important to hurry, there is no need to delay important things for a small person!"
The major event that Yun Ye mentioned was naturally the war situation in Jizhou, and Gan Ning naturally knew about it. Hearing this, he nodded, waved his hand, and roared: "Everyone, there is no need to pursue! Keep sailing!"
Without a general to lead Zheng Bao's army in chaos, even though there were over a thousand in number, they were almost charged by the Jinfan thieves. They had no power to fight back and fled in all directions!
A group of Jinfan thieves returned to the ship with unsatisfied expressions and bloodstains all over their bodies. The river in front of them was already in flames. They could even be seen from dozens of miles away. Obviously, it was impossible to sail across it in a short time.
