Chapter 583 Zhang Yun Takes Action
"The food and grass were robbed?"
When Cai Mao heard this, he immediately became furious and slapped the table. His face turned red and he stared at Zhang Yun coldly.
Zhang Yun broke into a cold sweat and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
The soldiers who rushed into the tent looked extremely embarrassed. They were all wet, their hair was disheveled, and they even had no boots on their feet, so they had to walk in barefoot.
"General Zhang, Governor Cai, we were escorting grain and grass, but we didn't expect the Jinfan thief Gan Ning to suddenly appear behind us. We naturally moved forward with all our strength, but we didn't expect someone to have set up a cross-river iron cable on the Han River, so we When the battle is defeated, there will be food and grass.”
"Gan Ning?" Cai Mao said coldly: "This Jinfan thief betrayed Huang Zu, and now he has brought trouble to the governor. Do you really think that there is no one in Jingzhou?"
"Exactly!" Zhang Yun also accused: "This Gan Ning is really arrogant, and he actually got ahead of our Jingzhou navy. It's like hitting an egg with a stone."
"Let me ask you." Cai Mao looked at the soldier: "How many men, horses, and ships do Gan Ning have under his command?"
"Report to Governor Cai that there are less than a thousand pirates under Gan Ning's command, two boats and more than ten boats."
Cai Hao nodded, touched the beard on his chin, pondered for a while, and suddenly turned his eyes to Zhang Yun.
"Zhang Yun."
"What are your orders from Governor Cai?" Zhang Yun immediately said, cupping his fists.
Cai Mao said slowly: "How about I order you to go out to fight and drive away the Gan Ning water thieves?"
Zhang Yun frowned. In fact, he had heard of Gan Ning's reputation, but how could the dignified Jingzhou Navy General be afraid of a small water thief?
"The last general takes command!"
"Okay!" Cai Hao said, "In that case, I will give you five stern warships, thirty warships, and five thousand troops. How about that?"
Zhang Yun was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, Governor Cai. In the end, the general will definitely capture Gan Ning and bring him to Governor Cai."
Cai Mao nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal Zhang Yun to go down.
On the Han River, a large-scale fleet was sailing on the water. The flag of Jingzhou Navy was hung on the warship. On the warship in the center was a flag with the word "General" .
Zhang Yun stood on the deck with high spirits, holding the sword in his hand.
"General!"
The observer on the mast shouted to the bottom: "There seems to be a ship belonging to the Jinfan Thief ahead."
"What?" Zhang Yun immediately paid attention after hearing this. At the same time, he personally climbed up to the height of the ship. He saw four boats sailing slowly on the Han River in front of him, and they were all hung with brightly colored brocade sails.
"What a good thief, you can't find anything after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here." Zhang Yun excitedly stretched out his fist and pounded the railing and ordered: "Go forward at full speed. We must catch these water thieves and ask them if they want to." Where is this little thief Ning!"
"The general has orders, move forward at full speed!"
Zhang Yun gave an order, and the sails were immediately opened to the maximum, and they were slightly swelled by the river wind. The oarsmen in the boats used all their strength to shake the oars. With the combined force of man and nature, the five stern boats and thirty walking boats seemed to have wings and moved forward rapidly. He pursued the four boats in front of him fiercely. The distance between him and the Jinfan boat was constantly shortening, and he was about to catch up.
The water pirates on the Jinfan warship looked back from time to time, only to find that the Jingzhou warship was getting closer and closer to them, and they suddenly panicked.
"hurry up!"
"Otherwise, the enemy will catch up!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
There was a look of "panic" on the face of the Jinfan thief, and he kept rowing forward, but how could the small Jinfan on the boat compare with the huge sail hung by the warship?
As a result, the distance between the Jingzhou Navy and the four warships was seen getting closer and closer. The warship rushing at the front seemed like a bull that was angered by the red color. It buried its head and rushed forward with four hooves. The wrapped hard bow is like the sharp horns of a bull, extremely sharp.
Navy warships are different. The largest battleships and building ships are like moving water fortresses. Whether they are used for direct impact or to carry soldiers, they are huge. They are like today's aircraft carriers and battleships, while small ones are Walking boats are like torpedo boats and frigates, mainly used for close combat.
As for the main function of the warship, it is used for collision. The protruding corners of the warship are wrapped in iron sheets. With the huge collision force, it can even crack the opponent's hull. It is generally used by the navy as a warrior who dares to fight.
If the Jingzhou Army's warship collided with it, the Jinfan Army's warship would probably be smashed in half.
However, at this tense moment, the four boats encountered unexpected situations.
"It's over!"
"Damn it, I forgot to remove the iron cable across the river!"
Only more than a dozen iron chains were seen hanging above the water, locking the wide Han River tightly. If a walking boat bumped into them, they would be stopped on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yunze couldn't help laughing.
"These Jinfan thieves are really stupid. They set up a cross-river cable but trapped themselves instead."
When the Jingzhou naval officers saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing, laughing at the Jinfan thief's stupidity.
On the surface, it seems that the four boats of the Jinfan thieves have reached the end of their rope. They will either be directly knocked over by the Hengjiang Iron Cable, or they will turn around and fight the Jingzhou Navy, which will inevitably lead to defeat.
Zhang Yun shouted: "Blow the drums and trumpets, let's go to war!"
Woohoo! Boom, boom, boom!
There was a fierce sound of drums and trumpets from the Jingzhou Navy warships. The morale of the five thousand Jingzhou Navy troops was greatly boosted, and they were gearing up to capture these four small boats.
However.
"Hahaha, they fell into the trap! What the boss said is indeed true."
Seeing that they were cornered, the four boats suddenly turned over, and the Jinfan thieves above burst out laughing.
One of the leading water thieves smiled coldly: "Light the torch and attack the enemy!"
Seeing the four boats slowly turning around, Zhang Yun couldn't help but sneer: "A trapped beast still fighting? It's commendable to be brave, but it's just a dead end."
etc?
Zhang Yun suddenly noticed something was wrong. It seemed that the draft of these ships was very shallow.
At this time, the Jinfan thief on the boat raised the torch and threw it on the walking boat. A burst of flames immediately rose and burned.
"What is burning on the enemy's river is hay!" Zhang Yun was shocked: "Hurry up and intercept the enemy's river. You must not let the enemy's river get closer!"
Four boats burning with blazing fire rushed toward the Jingzhou navy with their teeth and claws bared, and the burning flames seemed to reveal a ferocious smile.
