Chapter 60 Gan Ning: Prisoners, no prisoners (please vote)
Above the Han River, Jinfanying has already won.
Defeat more with less, one thousand against five thousand, and win this battle with huge disparity in strength.
The most important thing is that they also captured three flagships of the Jiangdong Navy.
These three flagships of the Jiangdong Navy are far more advanced than the three flagships of the Jiangxia Navy. After being driven back to Jiangxia, they can be used as the main ships of the Jiangxia Navy after some modifications.
In addition, they also captured three thousand people from Jiangdong Navy.
This battle will surely make Gan Ning famous all over the world.
"Give me the order to get ready!"
"Let's move to the shore!" Gan Ning gave the order.
Since the Jiangdong navy attacked them, it means that there must be an interception and killing of Su Ming on the shore.
Therefore, Gan Ning ordered to approach the shore and go to meet Su Ming.
Deputy General Ding Chong nodded and said to Gan Ning: "Brother, the number of brothers we have that can move is only about 700!"
"Three thousand surrendered troops staying on the ship are a hidden danger! If they betray our lord when we come to rescue them, the consequences will be disastrous."
There is no pressure on seven hundred soldiers guarding three thousand surrendered soldiers. After all, these surrendered soldiers have no weapons and are tied together by ropes like strings of candied haws.
However, Gan Ning and the others still have a mission!
They had to go to meet Su Ming, and by then, there would only be a few wounded soldiers left on the ship to guard him.
At that time, if someone breaks the rope and takes the boat back, then Gan Ning and the others will be busy in vain.
If there are sufficient troops, these prisoners can be kept.
After all, they are all at an experienced level and can be integrated into one's navy after some training.
However, now that Gan Ning and his men are seriously out of strength, leaving these prisoners behind is very likely to cause them harm.
Compassion does not command troops.
As a general, you must not be merciful and soft-hearted, as is the kindness of women.
To Gan Ning, these prisoners were nothing, and ensuring the safety of his lord was his top priority.
On the deck, Gan Ning closed his eyes and said faintly: "In this battle, the Jiangdong navy resisted very tenaciously, and the battle between the two sides was extremely fierce."
"At the end of the battle, the Jiangdong navy would rather jump into the river than surrender."
"This is the battle report of this battle. After returning to Jiangxia, I asked the clerk to write it like this."
Everyone is understanding and smart, and some things don’t need to be said so clearly.
If you understand, that's it.
Deputy General Ding Chong rolled his eyes and understood what Gan Ning meant.
In this battle, they took no prisoners.
The Jiangdong naval forces were all staunch men. They resisted till the end and would rather jump into the river than surrender.
As for the prisoners tied up in the cabin.
Nonsense, there are no prisoners if there are no prisoners.
Deputy General Ding Chong understood, and immediately ordered a group of close men and headed to the cabin with crossbows.
"Gan Ning, you don't keep your word!"
"We agreed to surrender without killing, you are shameless!"
"Gan Ning, you have no butthole for giving birth!"
There were screams and cordial greetings to the eighteenth generation of Gan Ning's ancestors from the cabin.
However, soon there was no sound in the cabin.
"Throw all these corpses into the river and keep your mouth shut!"
"If what happened today is leaked, I won't be able to spare you!" Ding Chong's voice sounded in the cabin.
Since ancient times, it is unlucky to kill prisoners.
Generals who like to kill prisoners are often impeached by civilian officials and end up badly.
Unless there was really no other way, Gan Ning would not have ordered the killing of the prisoners.
The bank of Han River.
Ling Tong led 10,000 ambush troops hiding in the mountains and forests, 5,000 swordsmen and axemen, and 5,000 archers.
When Su Ming arrives at the riverside, shoot him a thousand arrows and then chop him into minced meat.
Su Ming and Ling Tong had a grudge against killing their father, and their hatred for killing their father was irreconcilable. Only in this way could Ling Tong's hatred be relieved.
However, suddenly, there was a strong wind, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain pouring down.
The sky was originally sunny, but in the blink of an eye, it started to rain heavily.
Ling Tong's face suddenly turned dark.
Ling Tong led the army in Jiangdong, and the army's crossbows were different from those of the navy.
Since the Navy fights on the river all year round, the combat environment is humid, so the Navy's crossbows are all waterproofed to a certain extent.
The navy's crossbows can barely be used on rainy days.
However, the Army's crossbows are different. The Army's crossbows cannot be used on rainy days.
Once the bowstring is stained with water, it loses its toughness. Not only will it not be able to shoot far, the arrow will also lose its power.
Originally, Ling Tong was still thinking of firing a thousand arrows at Su Ming?
Now the calf is over, and all the arrows cannot be fired.
"The bow string is stained with water and cannot be used anymore!"
"I should have known that a batch of crossbows had been dispatched from the Navy!" Deputy General Pan Zhang checked the crossbows and said helplessly.
Did you know earlier?
If I had known I was going to wet the bed, I would have stayed up all night!
In this world, how could there be so many Taoist priests who knew this in advance and didn't know how to tell fortunes on the roadside?
The sky was clear just a moment ago, and suddenly it was raining heavily. No one expected this.
"Without Butcher Zhang, we have to eat pigs with hair on them?"
"Without a crossbow, wouldn't it be possible to kill Su Ming?" Ling Tong cursed, feeling very unhappy.
Ling Tong thought to himself, this bastard Su Ming is really lucky!
Without the crossbow, Su Ming's confidence in escaping would be greatly improved.
"Pan Zhang, take advantage of Su Ming's absence and scatter more caltrops around the area," Ling Tong ordered.
It rained heavily and the bows and crossbows failed. They could only block Su Ming's escape route with iron caltrops.
Then, ten thousand troops came together to surround and kill Su Ming.
Although there are no crossbows, as long as these ten thousand troops can successfully surround Su Ming.
Ling Tong felt that it would not be difficult to kill Su Ming.
Once the number of soldiers exceeds ten thousand, there will be no borders.
Although many generals claim to be the enemy of ten thousand people, it is just a title.
Even Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian may not really be able to kill ten thousand people on the battlefield.
Humans are not machines, and human strength is limited.
Let alone killing ten thousand elite soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons.
Even if you were asked to kill ten thousand pigs in a row, you would be exhausted.
Ling Tong's only worry now was that he would not be able to surround Su Ming, allowing Su Ming to break through.
Therefore, when the crossbows failed, Ling Tong increased the deployment of iron caltrops.
Especially towards the riverside, it is even more densely covered with caltrops, horses and the like.
Ling Tong had only one purpose, which was to prevent Su Ming from returning to Jiangxia even if he couldn't surround him.
If you can't kill Su Ming, then block him in Jiangdong and then slowly surround him.
Ling Tong was making arrangements intensively, and in the storm, Su Ming, with Sun Shangxiang and his Bai Lai guards, were really galloping towards the shore.
