【Chapter 120】 The water battle breaks out
() The hours passed by in a hurry, and the sky gradually became dark.
Yuan Shao, as for Yuan Shao, had already mobilized dozens of fishing boats and began to arrange for soldiers to board the boats one after another, trying to transport the first group of people to the other side of the Yellow River when the sky was completely dark.
Yuan Shao was standing on the deck of the newest fishing boat at this moment, standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at the rolling water of the Yellow River, he breathed out a long breath and asked aloud:
"Gongzhi, how long does it take for the ship to set off to cross the river?!"
"Let me tell you, my lord, these boats are ordinary fishing boats. They are easy to operate and can set off to cross the river immediately!" Guo Tu bowed to Yuan Shao and responded sadly. Obviously, he was not in a good mood.
Except for Yuan Shao who had a little joy in his heart, everyone else behind Guo Tu also looked sad.
After all, leaving one's homeland and fleeing in embarrassment is something that is unspeakable for anyone and is regarded as a great shame and humiliation. Even if one escapes danger, what is there to be happy about?
Yuan Shao obviously also noticed the emotions of these people. He couldn't help but turn his head, squeezed out a smile, and said comfortingly: "Everyone, everything depends on human beings. A gentleman takes revenge. It's not too late in ten years. When we cross the Yellow River, we can start over again. One day, we will definitely
To be able to set foot on the soil of Jizhou again!"
"My lord is wise..." All the generals obviously still had no confidence and bowed in agreement. Even Wen Chou and Xu You on the other side did not move at all.
When Yuan Shao saw this appearance, he couldn't help but smile, turned his head, took a deep breath, his face was more solemn than ever before, and his hand on the sword hilt quietly tightened: "I must, I must step on the sword again
Jizhou’s soil!”
...
There is no beach for fish, and the river bank is overgrown with weeds, but the water flow is extremely fast.
It is said that a fisherman once came here in the past and saw a carp fish as tall as a person swimming from the north bank to the south bank. Halfway there, it was repeatedly beaten back to the north bank by the big waves. Finally, it died in the river and was washed away by the river to Shinandu.
Finally it was picked up by a fisherman.
Therefore, the name of this fish-difficult beach means that it is difficult for fish to cross it. It can be seen that the rapidity of the water here is almost daunting.
However, at this moment, a group of dozens of people appeared in the weeds. The leader was dressed in white, holding a bright silver spear in his hand, with a faint sneer on his face. It was none other than Wu Zhaohou, Yun Ye.
When he walked to the river, Yun Ye's steps hesitated slightly, he put his fingers together and put them into his mouth.
A bird song came out clearly, and even for a moment, it drowned out the sound of the rushing Yellow River.
On the other side, Gan Ning, who had been waiting for Yun Ye, suddenly became happy when he heard the chirping of birds. He stood up and waved with his big hand: "The Lord's order has come, the fleet is heading for Yunantan!"
"Take your orders!"
The Jinfan thieves quickly swarmed onto the ship one by one, took control of the fleet, and sailed towards Yunan Beach.
"Lord!"
Gan Ning stood on a stern boat at the front, saw Yun Ye standing in the weeds, and greeted him with great joy.
When he saw that the cockroach was about to reach the shore, he took off his brocade clothes, raised his sword, and jumped into the Yellow River with his upper body naked like a fish.
Yun Ye screamed in surprise, and in his stagnant eyes, he was tumbling up and down, and unexpectedly jumped up to the shore one step ahead of the cockroach, shook his wet hair, and said with a smile:
"Lord, get on the boat!"
Yun Ye did not get on the boat directly, but instead asked with a worried frown: "If we rush over now, can we intercept the first batch of boats crossing the river?"
Because the news came from the front that Yuan Shao had begun to cross the river. Up to now, almost half a quarter of an hour had passed. It took a long time for the people to go immediately. If they let go of the first batch, it is very likely that they would let Yuan Shao go!
"My lord, you can rest assured. Those are just fishing boats. If you want to cross the river, you have to choose a good anchorage. It will be more than enough to get there within half an hour!"
Gan Ning smiled and patted his chest as he assured him: "Besides, my lord, could you have forgotten the iron rope?"
"I have forgotten this! Get on the ship quickly!" Yun Ye suddenly slapped his forehead, and the worry on his face disappeared. He stepped directly onto the ship that was already moored at the shore.
As the most famous ship in the Han Dynasty, the building ship was the main ship in water warfare in this era. It could accommodate a very large number of people. Even a small building ship could carry hundreds of troops. Historically, it is recorded that Soochow
A five-story building ship was once built, which could carry 3,000 troops at a time. At that time, it shocked the entire Yangtze River waters.
Yun Ye held the spear in his hand, sat cross-legged on the deck, and headed for the Shinan Crossing along the roaring Yellow River.
A quarter of an hour later, the shadow of Yuan Shao's ship could be faintly seen, and a solemn look flashed in Yun Ye's eyes: "Xingba, is there any problem?"
Although you could faintly see fishing boats ahead, there were dozens of them, and they were slightly larger than a stern boat, which made Yun Ye, a layman who didn't know much about water warfare, feel worried.
However, Gan Ning turned around from the stern without changing his expression, raised his sword and smiled at Yun Ye:
"Lord, you can rest assured! Although there may seem to be many ships in front of us, most of them are civilian fishing boats that are not good at collisions. And since there are no naval forces on board, no matter how many people there are, we will definitely win. After all, water battles are not a struggle.
If you kill, you can win!"
Gan Ning's ability was enough for him not to take the landlubbers in front of him seriously, and Yun Ye felt a little calmer after hearing this.
...
Yuan Shao was sitting on the deck of the leading ship, and a touch of joy appeared on his face when he saw that he could finally vaguely see the other shore where he was planning to berth!
However, before Yuan Shao could get excited, the boat suddenly shook, causing Yuan Shao's body to swing back and forth involuntarily. When he saw the rolling Yellow River water with a sideways glance, Yuan Shao was frightened out of his mind and screamed.
"What's going on?!"
Guo Tu, Xu You, Lian Wen Chou and others were all swaying, with frightened, flustered and confused faces on their faces. They stopped after a while. However, everyone's face was extremely ugly.
It is impossible for the ship to shake for no reason, an earthquake? Absolutely not possible, after all, other places are not shaking, and the last possibility is that the enemy appears!
Some soldiers from the north who knew the nature of water hurriedly jumped into the Yellow River and struggled to detect the situation in the river. Every one of them opened their eyes in horror.
Dozens of iron chains criss-crossed the river, and hundreds of iron cones were firmly nailed to the ships. The entire river was like a prison that held everything in place!
"General, it's bad! Someone sank an iron cable and cone in the river and trapped the ship!" A soldier surfaced in fear, exhaling heavily and shouting with red eyes to vent his fear:
Chapter completed!
