Chapter 578 Jinfan Gan Ning

Pang De sat on the horse and looked at the iron cable across the river, and couldn't help but smile.

"Although our army lacks navy, the iron cable across the river is enough to contain the navy."

After saying that, Pound laughed loudly and waved the riding crop in his hand.

"Brothers, let's go!"

Five thousand cavalry followed Pound and galloped towards the south.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle in Wancheng is still going on. Under the suppression of naval firepower, the Jingzhou army continues to launch waves of strong attacks on the head of Wancheng. Countless Jingzhou soldiers climb to the top of the city one after another, waving their weapons. They fought fiercely with Nanyang soldiers, but were driven off the city again and again.

Wancheng's city defense was already extremely strong, and both Zhang Jaw and Li Yan were famous generals who were good at conquering and fighting. Moreover, the number of defenders in the city exceeded 10,000, so they repelled the attacks of Jingzhou soldiers time and time again. The offensive and defensive battles lasted from morning to evening. , the Jingzhou army could only attack the first line of the female wall, and then was repelled by the Nanyang soldiers who swarmed out from under the city wall.

"Retreat retreat!"

"The sound of ringing gold has sounded, we should withdraw."

"Finally we were able to evacuate. I was hit by an arrow. Oops."

The sound of ringing gold suddenly rang out among the Jingzhou Army and Navy. The Jingzhou soldiers who were fighting on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it, and then hurriedly retreated back, one by one along the ladder and down the Wancheng City.

"This Wancheng is indeed an important city." Zhang Yun sighed: "It's a pity that it was stolen by Yuan Gongluo and fell into the hands of Liu Ye."

Cai Hao snorted coldly and did not answer. He just asked, "How much food and grass do we still have in the army?"

"Report to Governor Cai that the army was in a hurry, so most of the food and grass were unloaded in Yuyang City. The food and grass our army brought can still be used for seven days." Cai Zhong said hurriedly.

Cai Hao frowned: "I'm afraid seven days will not be enough, so I'll send a letter to Yuyang and ask Cai Xun to escort the food and grass for seven days."

"What Cai Du means is that it will take half a month to attack Wancheng?" Zhang Yun asked.

"Humph, not necessarily, maybe it will take longer." Cai Hao's face was expressionless and a little cold.

In Yuyang City.

In the Han River, more than a dozen walking boats were moving slowly along the Han River. These dozens of walking boats had a very deep draft because they were ordered by Cai Xun to transport grain and grass from the direction of Yuyang to Wancheng. Each boat A flag of the Jingzhou Army was planted on the walking boat, showing its magnificence.

On top of a walking boat in the middle, stood a low-level officer in Jingzhou Army uniform, lazily basking in the sun.

"Uncle Du, didn't Governor Cai say that Wancheng can be captured within three days? Why do we need to send an additional seven days of food and grass?"

A soldier came over and asked the Jingzhou officer in confusion.

"What do you know, kid?" Jingzhou Army's uncle said lazily: "Before the general leads the troops, he has to boast about Haikou. This is called boosting morale. If Governor Cai tells us that this battle will last a year, are you still willing? Fight?"

"No, no, no." The pawn shook his head. If he really fought for a year, it was still unclear whether he could survive.

"Don't worry about it." Uncle Du said nonchalantly: "Anyway, we are stationed in Yuyang now. At most, we can send some food and grass to Wancheng. We don't need to participate in the siege. It is very safe. Although there is no reward, we can save a life. That’s good.”

"Indeed." The pawn agreed.

"Dub!"

One of the soldiers suddenly shouted with a frightened expression. Dub frowned and opened his eyes, and couldn't help scolding: "Why are you shouting?"

"Uncle Dub, it's the Jinfan thief!"

"What?"

Jingzhou Jundu Bo, who originally had a calm face, suddenly changed his expression, and he even forgot his movements for a moment.

Not far behind the Jingzhou military grain transport fleet, more than a dozen warships and boats were seen rushing up, and each warship had a brocade sail hanging on it, which was colorful and quite gorgeous.

Just like most brightly colored snakes are poisonous, this colorful banner also represents danger on the river.

Gan Ning, the thief of Jin Sail, was in Ba County in the early days. Later, because he was expelled by Liu Yan, he went south along the river to Jingzhou. Gan Ning could be said to be the tyrant on the river. When he arrived at a county, if the county official welcomed him respectfully, then Gan Ning They would treat each other with courtesy. If they were not welcomed, Gan Ning would send troops to plunder. It can be said that people on the Yangtze River changed their minds when they heard "Jinfan".

"Didn't Gan Ning serve under Governor Huang of Jiangxia? Why would he resume his old career here?" Dub said in disbelief.

"Uncle Dub, I seem to have heard that Governor Huang was quite mean to Gan Ning. Maybe Gan Ning, the thief, can't stand it and becomes a water thief again."

"Damn it, let's go! When we get to Wancheng and have Governor Cai's army, we won't be afraid of them anymore."

Du Bo hurriedly urged, and the Jingzhou military grain transport fleet hurriedly accelerated and moved quickly towards Wancheng.

"Brother, these Jingzhou water fish swim quite fast, hehe."

"Hmph! Jingzhou Navy."

Among the more than ten naval warships hanging with brocade sails, there was a mighty-looking warship. A man with bronze skin and an imposing manner stood on the bow of the ship, holding an iron halberd in his hand and his eyes like an eagle. Generally profound, it is Gan Ning who abandoned his official position and left.

"Give it to me!" Gan Ning said coldly: "Give me the Jingzhou navy to intercept and kill, and let me breathe out a bad breath."

"Oh! Kill!"

Jingle bells, the walking boats and stern boats walked against the current, the brocade sails were swollen by the wind, and the bells hanging on Gan Ning's body made a tinkling sound. Jinfan and bells are one of Gan Ning's unique symbols. Once the sound of bells is heard on the Yangtze River, it means Gan Ning has arrived.

As a result, the Jingzhou Army's grain transport fleet was seen running in front, while the Jin Sailing Fleet was chasing behind, one chasing and the other escaping. However, the Jingzhou Army's warships were full of grain and grass, so the speed was not very fast. Soon, the distance between the Jin Sailing Fleet and the Jingzhou grain transport fleet gradually shortened.

"Hurry, hurry up, or we will be overtaken by the Jinfan Thieves!" Uncle Jingzhou Army looked back from time to time to look at the distance between him and the Jinfan Thieves, and kept urging.

"Dub, no!"

"There's a cross-river cable in front of us, and we're about to hit it!"

"What?" Uncle Jingzhou Jundu was stunned, and then he looked forward and was stunned.

Only a dozen chains were seen lying across the surface of the Han River. People might be able to swim across the water, and submarines that appeared thousands of years later might be able to, but it was impossible for the naval warships of the Jingzhou Army to rush through. It will be intercepted by more than a dozen cross-river iron cables.

"It's over, it's over." Uncle Jingzhou Jundu had a look of death on his face, his lips trembled slightly, and his body swayed slightly.

"Hahaha, God is really helping me!"

Gan Ning, who was standing on the bow of the ship, couldn't help laughing: "Come on, I will seize the enemy ship!"
