Chapter 861 Blocking Out the Sky and the Sun

The head's eyes were white and it was vomiting blood. It looked scary, but Huang She's face could be vaguely recognized.

Seeing Huang She being beheaded by Gan Ning, the fighting spirit of Jiang Xia's soldiers, who were still struggling to fight, instantly collapsed. They either turned around and ran away, or knelt down and asked to surrender.

"The Major General has been killed, everyone, run away!"

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!"

"Stop fighting, why don't I surrender?"

Of the more than 2,000 Jiangxia troops, only more than 300 escaped on boats. The remaining three warships and more than ten boats fell into Gan Ning's hands. There were still more than 900 Jiangxia troops kneeling on the ground. Please surrender.

Gan Ning held Huang She's head and laughed loudly: "The first victory in conquering Jingzhou fell into my hands!"

Gan Ning won the victory, captured and killed Huang She in one battle, and gained a great reputation. When he came out, there were only about twenty warships, but when he came back, the number doubled. He returned to the fleet in a mighty manner, and the morale of the Xiliang Navy was greatly boosted.

Xiangyang.

An officer from the Jiangxia Navy knelt on the ground and said in horror: "Captain Cai, our army has been defeated and Captain Huang has been killed."

"What?"

Cai Xun on the side was greatly frightened and angry. He stepped forward and grabbed his collar, shouting and asking: "What's going on? How did you lose? Who killed Huang She? Come on, hurry up." Come together!"

Jiang Xiabing, who was grabbed by his collar, struggled and said, "Captain Cai, our army was marching on the river, and Gan Ning was caught off guard and suddenly came out and killed him."

He recounted what happened before. Cai Xun was stunned and loosened his collar.

"Gan Ning? This guy turned out to be a minion of the Xiliang Army. He is really looking for death!"

Cai Xun gritted his teeth. He also looked down upon Gan Ning, who was a water thief. When he heard that Gan Ning dared to take the lead in attacking Jingzhou Navy, he was naturally furious.

"Brother, give me a naval force. I must capture Gan Ning and avenge Huang She!" Cai Xun immediately asked Cai Mao for orders.

"Not urgent."

Cai Mao waved his hand and said in a deep voice to the Jiangxia soldiers who had escaped: "I would like to ask you, how many troops did Gan Ning use to conquer Huangshe?"

Today's Jingzhou is torn into pieces, and its military strength is far inferior to that of when Liu Biao was in power. Even Cai Mao would not dare to be careless.

"Then Gan Ning only brought twenty warships and no more than a thousand soldiers." Jiang Xiabing replied.

"Huh? Can you see it clearly? Are there any tower ships or fighting ships among the twenty warships?" Cai Hao frowned.

Jiang Xiabing shook his head honestly: "I haven't seen them before, but there are only a few stern boats, and the rest are all wandering boats."

Cai Zhong on the side intervened: "Brother, I heard that Gan Ning surrendered to Nanyang Zhangja to train his navy. He only has a few thousand men and horses under his command. Our navy consists of more than ten thousand people. If they all come out in full force, they will be like Mount Tai pressing down on the top. It may not be possible. You can’t defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!”

Naturally, Cai Zhong didn't know that Liu Ye secretly ordered Gao Chong to lead the long-trained Yellow River Navy to go south for reinforcements. Gan Ning's total number of men did not exceed 5,000, but after joining forces with Gao Chong, the number of troops had already surged to 20,000! Although it cannot keep up with the Jingzhou Navy in its heyday, it is now different from what it used to be.

After hearing Jiang Xiabing's reply, Cai Mao nodded and said nothing.

"Brother, then Gan Ning only has this few men? If I can't wait to go to war, doesn't it mean that our army is afraid of him?"

"Yes, brother, the Xiliang army has one hundred thousand infantry. If our army can annihilate the Ganning Navy in one fell swoop, then even though the Xiliang army is large, they can only look back and sigh. If they cross the Yangtze River, how can our army be like them?" Opponent?"

Cai Mao frowned and said decisively: "Okay! Cai Zhong will lead 10,000 troops to stay in Xiangyang, and the rest of the troops will follow me to fight. We will defeat Gan Ning in one fell swoop!"

"Here!"

Cai Mao finally made up his mind and ordered his younger brother Cai Zhong to lead 10,000 troops to guard Xiangyang, while he led the navy army to prepare for a decisive battle with Gan Ning.

There are a total of 30,000 troops and horses left in Jingzhou. In addition to the 2,000 troops who were defeated by Huang She and the 10,000 troops and horses who stayed in Xiangyang, Cai Mao led 18,000 naval troops and hundreds of large and small warships on the river. It can be regarded as majestic and majestic, with a hint of the momentum of the Jingzhou Navy when they rampaged across the Yangtze River and Han Dynasty.

If it were really to deal with Gan Ning's 5,000 navy, these 18,000 troops and horses would definitely be enough, but it's a pity.

"Grand Governor, there are traces of enemy troops ahead!"

A patrol boat galloped back, and the soldiers on the boat shouted loudly to Cai Mao.

"Oh? Get ready to fight!" Cai Hao said with bright eyes.

Cai Xun cupped his fists and said, "Brother, I will command the forward troops and capture Gan Ning's traitor in one battle!"

"Well, you must be careful. Gan Ning's martial arts skills are extraordinary." Cai Mao grabbed Cai Xun's hand and warned him kindly.

"Brother, don't worry."

After that, Cai Xun got on another fighting ship and headed towards the forward.

At this moment, on the river not far away, warships emerged one after another, as if they appeared out of thin air. One warship after another was laid out on the river, endlessly. Ya, formed a huge fleet, like a long dragon, shocking people.

"Damn it! Gan Ning only has a thousand troops and horses, doesn't he? Why are there so many warships?" Cai Xun's fighting spirit suddenly disappeared without a trace. He really wanted to fight Gan Ning, but he didn't want to Isn't it looking for death to fight an enemy army twice as many as one's own?

A yellow unicorn battle flag was hung high on every warship, with each yellow unicorn fluttering in the wind. The yellow unicorn flags on hundreds of warships were fluttering, and a majestic aura almost enveloped the entire river.

"Quick! Send someone to inform my brother!" Cai Xun yelled.

"Here!"

A boat quickly turned around and flew away, passing the news of Xiliang Navy to Cai Mao.

"What?"

Cai Mao was shocked. Now Jingzhou only has a few people left, and it can no longer afford to lose! It was precisely because he heard that Gan Ning's army was not strong that he came out in full force. He did not expect that Gan Ning had so many troops. When did Liu Yuqing train such a large naval force?

Before he had time to think about it, Cai Mao said urgently: "Go and tell Cai Xun quickly and order him to retreat immediately and not to fight with the enemy navy!"

However, before the messenger had time to return, the Xiliang Navy was already face to face with Cai Xun's Jingzhou Navy forward.

Gao Chong stood on the battleship, holding the sword on his waist and looking high-spirited.

"The Jingzhou Navy is no good. Who among the generals can go out to fight and defeat this bandit for me?"

Gan Ning immediately stood up with clasped fists and said loudly: "I am willing to fight!"

"General Gan Lang, you killed Huang She and won the first prize, why do you still come out to grab the credit?"

However, Ding Feng was not happy. He clasped his fists and said, "Grand Governor, General Gan Lang has already won the battle. Please send Ding Feng to fight. This will also give my sergeants a chance to make meritorious deeds!"

Gan Ning refused to give in, and the two of them actually started to quarrel.
