Chapter 58: Four Ships Disrupt the Morale of the Army
This retreat of Soochow originally relied on the familiarity of the terrain to break it into parts, which was a clever move that could greatly reduce losses. Who can Cao Jun pursue in a hurry? Who dares to pursue? Even if they caught a few small groups, they were only superficially injured and could not move their muscles and bones. However, Soochow's retreat method also fell into Fang Lin's plan. In fact, as soon as the two armies started fighting, they had been watching the battle from a distance, with almost a panoramic view of the situation on the battlefield. Fang Lin made a judgment at the early stage of the battle. Cao Jun would probably win, but it would be a miserable victory. However, even so, Fang Lin also made two plans:
First of all, if Cao's army cannot support it, then the retreat will definitely not be dispersed. It will be divided into three teams at most. Then his group will gather together and adopt a method of preferring to cut off one of his fingers rather than hurt ten of them to concentrate their strength. Something unexpected. Of course, the main goal is to attack Meimei's team.
But if the local snake like Soochow can't support it first, then we can adopt the method of ambushes on the important roads, create chaos, harass and attack as much as possible!
Because Gan Ning's retreat method, including the retreat route, had already been predicted by Fang Lin! As for creating traps and creating panic, Lao Hu is an authoritative expert, so he can handle it by himself. After all, there is no aboriginal in the Three Kingdoms world who knows the name of the subject of jungle special combat, let alone the content. As far as the Three Kingdoms period is concerned, at most it can be said that the Danyang soldiers fought fiercely in the mountains, the Soochow navy was awesome, etc. As for why it was so powerful and why it was so awesome, even Zhuge Youxiao Dongming never thought of it. What's more, Gan Ning and others?
Therefore, some of the ideas put forward by Lao Hu and the methods of using local materials to create traps, even the famous Zhao Yun was very impressed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lao Hu was very different. Apart from Zhuge, there are really few people who can be admired by an outstanding person like Zhao Yun. Lao Hu couldn't help but feel a little proud.
The previous butcher had cleverly used the traps that Lao Hu had placed on the shore in the water. Cooperating with Bobby, he killed several seriously injured defeated Soochow soldiers in one fell swoop and made a huge profit. During the retreat of Soochow, they were not only pursued by Cao's army, but also by Fang Lin who took advantage of them to fight fiercely. The traps and ambushes laid out in advance on several important roads frightened the Wu army. Even those who wanted to organize a resistance saw Fang Lin and his party wearing Cao army armor. When Cao Jun was about to attack from behind, how could he know that there were a few Xibei guys in front of him? He immediately concentrated on escaping for his life.
For Fang Lin, the reason why he could accurately grasp the key routes of the Wu army's retreat was because he knew that the defeated Wu army would eventually retreat to one place, which was the place where they came ashore! Because if you retreat from the land, as soon as you reach the open space by the river, two legs will definitely not be able to outrun four legs. No matter how fast you run, you will be chased by Cao Jun's famous cavalry. Gan Ning of Soochow was famous for his navy. He must have been unwilling to accept the defeat this time. He obviously had the intention of leading Cao's army to the water's edge for a decisive battle!
So Fang Lin arranged a trap in advance on the sampan where they came from! When the people of Soochow scrambled one after another to escape from the death traps laid by Lao Hu in the dense forest, they stumbled and tried to get on the boat. But he was shocked to see that the ship docked on the shore had burned into a sea of flames! There were only four intact sampans left!
Even if these four sampans are full of people, they can only carry 80 people at most!
Seeing that the pursuers were arriving in an instant, none of the Wu Army sergeants thought that their group of people, whose morale had dropped to the lowest point, could fight against all odds and win. The four sampans in front of them became the only hope for survival! So either. Under the pressure of life or death, those who did not squeeze onto the sampan began to raise their butcher's knives against their colleagues. In such a chaotic situation, no one will remember who made the first move. The important thing is to survive!
After seeing the two packed sampans swaying away, the rest of the Wu Army sergeants became even more furious. Some people who had no hope of boarding even began to chop up the sampans frantically. What they thought It couldn't be simpler: I can't walk. Don’t even think about leaving!
In this chaotic situation, even Gan Ning, who arrived belatedly, was powerless. You must know that because Sun Quan was also a very jealous person, when Gan Ning came to surrender, he tied him to Jinfan. The thieves were directly disrupted and incorporated into the navy army. Of course, it must have been in the name of Gan Ning's men being outstanding in water skills and being assigned to various armies as instructors. Therefore, Gan Ning was not a person with outstanding commanding ability. There is really nothing we can do about this mess.
After he chopped down several people in succession. Seeing that it still didn't help, he sighed and led four loyal soldiers. He fled in another direction. If he didn't escape while these messy men could still attract Cao Jun's attention, the hope of returning alive would be even lower!
In ancient times, two peaches killed three soldiers, but the four sampans left behind by Fang Lin deliberately killed not only the people, but also the morale of Soochow's military!
……………
When the rain stopped for a little while, dark clouds in the sky on the other side once again occupied most of the sky, and strong winds and cold rain rolled in together. For a short while, the sky and earth became a gray expanse. The leaves were torn off by the wind and flew wildly into the air. The wind mixed with darkness from the distance seemed to be pregnant with a deep and distant sigh.
Gan Ning suddenly stopped, the muscles on his face kept twitching, and only his right hand reached to his waist, holding the handle of the knife tightly! The big hand full of scars and calluses was in close contact with the rough handle of the knife, and there was a feeling of flesh and blood. Gan Ning had been a strong thief on the river since he was fifteen years old, and lived a life of bloodshed with the knife tip. This thick knife The sharp knife on his back had been stained with the blood of countless enemies and had protected him through many difficulties, but today... Gan Ning had never felt so close to the edge of death!
The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he suddenly drew the knife!
This knife was extremely fierce, but the one who chopped off was actually the old guard servant on the left who had been with him from birth to death for twenty years! With one knife, he cut his shoulder and back into two pieces! As the blood spurted wildly, the old servant fell to the ground without even saying a word. Only the warm blood was mixed in the rain, and it gradually became cold! The rest of the guards were shocked and couldn't help but said:
"General!"
Although they were willing to die for Gan Ning, they were really not willing to die in such an unclear manner, making it difficult for them to rest in peace.
Gan Ning closed his eyes and said slowly and word by word:
"Lao Dao has been controlled by the enemy... If I don't kill him, he will attack us!"
"What a Gan Xingba! He is indeed a hero who makes decisive decisions! Just like that, you will kill your loyal servant who has been following you for decades. Aren't you afraid of chilling people?" A man walked out of the bushes calmly. This was a young man. The person's hair looks a little messy, but the two pupils in his eyes are surprisingly dark and deep. Looking at the person for a long time seems to absorb the person's soul, but his left hand is burning. blue flame! It's Fang Lin!
Immediately afterwards, a woman with one arm holding a long silver ax, a very tall, burly, and arrogant middle-aged man, and a giant man as thick and fat as a hill appeared one after another. There were also four people with dull eyes in the periphery, wearing The soldiers of Cao Jun and Wu Jun in armor stood respectfully.
Gan Ning's facial muscles twitched, and he said with anger:
"The moment you used your magic to control Lao Dao, he was already dead!"
It turns out that Lao Dao was the one who took care of various chores around Gan Ning and took care of past accounts. His own strength was low, so he could be controlled by Fang Lin, but the remaining three personal guards were out-and-out. Elite, at least close to the strength of Wu Rui, the captain of the elite armored soldiers. Fang Lin said this to disturb Gan Ning's military morale, but it seemed to be in vain!
In just this short moment, the sky darkened completely, and things a few meters away felt ethereal. Black clouds were fighting in the sky, and the strong wind and cold rain couldn't help blowing across the face, blowing up a leaden leaf. Fang Lin slowly raised his right hand, the blue flame on it became more intense under the rain, and then he slowly pointed his palm at Gan Ning!
The guards immediately became nervous and jumped directly in front of Gan Ning, apparently intending to use their own flesh and blood to resist the demon's sorcery, but suddenly there was a sound of "Hey, look at the gun" from the side. Drink, the red tassel of a spear flashed, and the cold light flickered, and with an understatement, the three personal guards in front of Gan Ning were directly trapped!
The person who takes the initiative to warn even if there is a sneak attack is naturally Changshan Zhao Zilong!
Gan Ning raised his eyebrows! He was about to attack Zhao Yun together, but he saw two mysterious blue rays of light flashing past the chest of the young man opposite him, as if they were fierce looks flashing out of a pair of extremely evil eyes!
There was a sudden explosion of pain in the center of the Dongwu general's eyebrows. He couldn't help but reach out to rub it. He was momentarily absent-minded, and then his wrist tightened, and the burly, tall and powerful man had directly grabbed his wrist!
