Chapter 206 A shocking battle (1)

Translated by Gamer

Although Lu Su disapprove of Jiang Qin’s words, he only showed his dissatisfaction on this face. First of all, he was not a navy general. There is no one more knowledgeable than Jiang Qin at water combat and there is also no one more capable at fighting that Jiang Qin on the water. Second, although the words were so vulgar that Lu Su felt disgusted, he assumes it was Jiang Qin’s plan to anger Gan Ning and stop the blockade.

They had many strong ships but they could not leave the camp and could only watch helplessly. Now Gan Ning was fooled. Gan Ning and Lu Bu’s navy left the area and allowed the Sun Ce’s navy to come out to find out which one of them is stronger.

Jiang Qin smiled ferociously. So, you can’t take it anymore! Jiang Qin made up his mind that he wanted to destroy the Lu Bu’s navy and this runaway fish. After that, he will turn Gan Ning into meat and send it to the Lu Bu’s Army as well.

“General! What are you doing!” Gan Ning’s deputy was extremely puzzled. What is Gan Ning trying to do? Allowing the enemies to come out? They launched the surprise attack in the morning precisely to trap the enemy navy inside their main camp. As a result, only the Sun Ce’s Army would take a beating. However, Gan Ning unexpectedly allowed them to come out from the main camp to fight to the death. That is going against the plan! The Lu Bu’s Army at most have 7,000 soldiers and half of them were just recruits. On the other hand, not including the other divisions of the Sun Ce’s Army, their main army already had 10,000 soldiers. How could they fight this kind of battle?

“I originally do not plan to let them out of the river.” Gan Ning said coldly. He is not sure if Su Fei is really dead but he is sure that Su Fei has suffered greatly in the hands of Jiang Qin. This is because Su Fei even had to discard his treasured sword. Gan Ning still remembered when Su Fei took out his sword to teach him the two characters that meant loyalty.

Gan Ning behaved proudly and does not get along well with others. Otherwise he would not have become a thief at the Yangtze River. Gan Ning’s family was quite well off. He had magnificent clothes because he was quite prestigious in his childhood. They travel by boat and could be found wherever there is glory. His boat was also beautiful like a brocade.

When he became a pirate, lots of people cursed him and he caused lots of headache to the officials. However, for those that get to know Gan Ning, Gan Ning would do jump into a sea of fire to help them.

Gan Ning watched one of Sun Ce’s Army’s warships leave their main camp and entered the river. All their warships were giving extra caution in case Gan Ning launched another surprise attack. Come on! Come on! If you guys don’t come out, how could I destroy you?

Although Gan Ning has blocked the Sun Ce’s Army’s main camp, this also means that they could not give any substantial damage to the Sun Ce’s Army. If Gan Ning stormed the camp, his army would receive heavy casualties unless the surprise attack was a success. Unfortunately, they were discovered by a soldier.

“But general!” The deputy was still worried as the enemy army was much more powerful than theirs.

“Don’t tell me you don’t believe in me Gan Ning and the Little Lord?” Gan Ning asked back. Gan Ning was not an idiot. Although he considers himself better than Jiang Qin in navy warfare, he also realizes that he has less resources and soldiers than Jiang Qin. If it was a normal battle, Gan Ning knows that he would lose. However, today, he has that 5 giant things on his ship.

Two towered ship appeared from within the main camp, followed by another towered ship right behind the first two. This way, even if Gan Ning attacked them, the ships would be able to support each other.

Lu Su looked at the scene for a long time with doubt. He then asked. “General Jiang Qin. Going out like this, aren’t you afraid that Gan Ning might suddenly attack?” This is one possible tactic. To allow the enemy to cross the river halfway before attacking them suddenly. Although this tactic is usually used on land battles, it is also applicable for water battles. What if Gan Ning decides to attack Jiang Qin as he tried to come out.

“Don’t worry military advisor!” Jiang Qin was very confident. “Gan Ning does not have that ability!” Jiang Qin pointed at his towered ships. “5 ships. No.” Jiang Qin shook his head. “As long as 4 ships manages to go out, Gan Ning can forget about stopping the naval fleet from coming out.” Jiang Qin did not say that if Gan Ning suddenly attacks, 2-3 ships will be lost along with thousands of casualties as he was willing to pay that price.

Gan Ning was true to his word and did not harass the Sun Ce’s Army until they left the camp.

Jiang Qin’s navy and the Wan Cheng navy felt that something was off but they still managed to get to the surface of the river. Gan Ning’s navy held their breath as they saw the scene in front of them. In front of them were 10,000 elite navies and 20,000 common navies. The common navies were left behind by the Jiangdong’s nobles. Although they were not strong, they were able to send out more towered ships.

30,000 troops! On the other hand, Gan Ning only had 7,000 troops. The difference in strength is too big. The recruits were scared. Although the veterans were scolding the recruits, their hearts were also uneasy. None of them fought battles like this before. Although they were elites in the Jiangxia navy, they have lost to the Jiangdong
