"It's too troublesome to take a detour to Huainan, and it's really not appropriate..."
Liu Hao frowned, glanced at the river, and said: "Let's do this. Mr. Zheng will prepare a batch of boats to cross the river as soon as possible, and let a thousand of our front troops cross the Yangtze River first and rush to Moling...
..For the remaining large forces, Mr. Zheng can discuss with our army’s military advisor on how to cross the river!”
"As you command, my lord!"
Zheng Hong nodded in response.
It takes a lot of time to prepare ships for tens of thousands of people to cross the river at one time, and it cannot be done in a day.
But transporting thousands of people across the river is much easier.
Not long after, the Zheng family came over in their boats and docked on the bank of the Dukou River.
"Master, if you want to cross the river, your brothers can be of great help..."
Gan Ning smiled and called to his men: "Pull out all our ships!"
Although Gan Ning's group of people were a little less disciplined, they were also extremely quick.
Not long after, the Jinfan Thieves' ship and the Zheng family's ship were docked together.
"Gan Xingba, where did you get so many ships!?"
Zheng Hong was confused again...
"Lord, this boat is a small boat, similar to a fishing boat. It can only accommodate about ten people at the same time. It is usually used to transport looted things..." Zheng He pointed to another larger boat on the river and smiled.
Said: "This slightly larger one is called Meng Chong, and is mostly used in combat..."
Gan Ning also smiled and said: "Huh? You know what you are talking about. You are right. This Mengchong is also the main ship of our Jinfan Army. Each ship can carry more than fifty people, and its impact is very fierce..."
"Hehe, our boss snatched these from the water village under Liu Biao and Liu Yao..."
A Jinfan thief leader proudly showed off the origins of these unknown ships to Liu Hao, but was slapped by Gan Ning...
Gan Ning said with a slight embarrassment: "My lord...those old things are all wrong things I did when I was ignorant. My brothers are all from poor backgrounds. If you want to have food to eat, you won't rob merchants and wealthy merchants.
That's a dangerous thing to do with your head in your belt..."
Liu Hao looked at it and nodded. The cabin and planks of this Mengchong ship were covered with cowhide, which could be used for fire prevention.
At that time, Zhou Yu used Meng Chong to carry kerosene, burned Red Cliff, and destroyed Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army!
Having said that, this Gan Ning was so bold that he even dared to rob the Jingzhou Army's water fortress.
Liu Hao was also drunk.
But think about it, if he wasn't such a bold and fierce man, how could he dare to steal Cao Wei's 400,000-strong army with a hundred cavalry!?
Zheng Hong went back to study the Huanglong battleship today.
As for the position of the governor of Guangling County, Liu Hao directly handed it over to Zhong Yao.
Other government and military affairs are also handled by Liu Bowen and other military advisers, so there is no need to worry at all.
When everything was arranged, Liu Hao led a thousand elite tigers and soldiers, together with Gan Ning Jinfan's bandits, and headed straight towards Moling.
The veteran driver Gan Ning led the way and was very safe.
Liu Hao, Dian Wei and others were on Gan Ning's stern, looking at the scene along the river.
All I could see was a scene of hundreds of boats competing against each other on the broad river surface.
In the mist, Liu Hao felt as if he was in a fairyland, observing the river curiously.
Gan Ning's Jinfan thieves are really well-trained and their actions are orderly.
The walking boats were distributed on both sides, with the cockroach in the middle, creating waves on the river and moving forward rapidly.
After driving on the river for a while, Liu Hao's fierce and fierce soldiers were a little overwhelmed. Most of them came from the north and were authentic landlubbers.
Even the peerless warriors Dian Wei and Xu Chu were somewhat affected by seasickness.
If the two of them hadn't forcefully used their skills to suppress the uncomfortable feeling of seasickness, Dian Wei and Xu Chu might not have been able to stand still.
While Gan Ning directed his brothers to move forward in the boat, he gloated and smiled: "Haha, man, you two are so fierce, there are times when you are afraid!"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu both turned pale and snorted, but did not pay attention to Gan Ning.
When it comes to force, both Dian Wei and Xu Chu will undoubtedly have the upper hand over Gan Ning.
But in this situation, when fighting Gan Ning, Dian Wei and Xu Chu felt that they might capsize...
"Xingba, how long will it take to get to Moling?"
Liu Hao held on to the side of the ship, his body swaying with the ship's hull, and looked back to ask.
Gan Ning thought for a moment and replied honestly: "My lord, I think we will be able to reach Moling County before dawn at the earliest."
"Brothers, haven't you eaten yet? Work harder!"
Gan Ning shouted at the top of his lungs, "My lord, please watch you, don't act like a bitch and whine."
There were bursts of laughter on the dozens of boats, and they were traveling much faster...
Night gradually falls.
After being subdued by Liu Hao, the Jinfan thieves wanted to prove their worth by performing meritorious deeds, but they tried their best to move the oars.
In the vast darkness of night, a series of ripples suddenly appeared on the river.
Then, dozens of heads wrapped in black cloth appeared, and in the darkness of the night, they quietly touched a stern boat at the back.
The Jinfan thieves on the stern were very energetic, and some even sang folk songs from the Jiangnan area, but they didn't realize that their backs were already exposed to the enemy.
These black figures who sneaked onto the boat touched the necks of the Jinfan thieves with the steel knives in their hands, and a fountain of blood splashed out. The Jinfan thieves didn't even have time to scream...
.
Liu Hao was lying on the soft couch in the cabin, but he was not sleepy at all.
This was his first time staying overnight on the boat, and he was sorting out his ideas for development.
Judging from the current situation, when we arrive at Moling, we will inevitably have to fight Liu Yao.
While he was deep in thought, Liu Hao suddenly felt that the entire space was terrifyingly quiet!
There seemed to be a faint sound of "plop-plop-plop" of heavy objects falling into the water.
Liu Hao suddenly sat up, his eyes flashed with golden light!
