Gan Ning had been chasing Ling Tong, but Guo Yu had forced him to jump into the river!
Seeing this, Ling Tong laughed coldly and jumped onto a fishing boat. He rowed the boat with the fishermen and chased after them with all his might.
Gan Ning was an excellent swimmer, and he could swim for less than an hour at a time.
However, he was clearly unlucky today. As soon as he jumped into the river, he saw a big fish swimming over, smelling blood. He was so scared that he quickly floated up again. Helplessly, he got on a broken boat and rowed himself.
Guo Yu was just about to give the order to kill him directly, but Ling Tong begged him bitterly below, wanting to personally kill the enemy.
Guo Yu thought that he had come to seek revenge for his father, so he ordered them to go around.
"Gan Ning! You killed my father, I should have killed you long ago to avenge my father! In the past, Sun Quan protected you, but today, you will definitely die by my hands!”
Gan Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Guo Yuxing's boat make a detour. He sized up Ling Tong and sneered.
"Ling Tong, I thought you were a righteous person. I didn't expect you to be a villain who abandoned your old master for family revenge!”
Ling Tong gave Gan Ning a disgusted look."How can a villain like you talk to me about righteousness? Liu Yan, the herdsman of Yizhou, appointed you as the governor of Shu Prefecture, but you tried to kill Liu Zhang and overthrow Yizhou! After betraying Liu Zhang, you voted for Huang Zu! Now that Ancestor Huang was killed by you, how can a beast like you talk about righteousness with me? Cut the crap and die!"
Ling Tong jumped onto Gan Ning's boat. Gan Ning was a fierce thug, so he didn't back down and began to fight Ling Tong.
Although the boat was small, the two of them relied on their superb water skills to fight and stand steadily on the boat.
Guo Yu saw that the Jiangdong Navy was either dead or fleeing, so he ordered the fishing boats to retreat while he watched Gan Ning and Ling Tong fight.
Gan Ning was more than ten years older than Ling Tong, but he was only in his early forties. He was still in the prime of his life, and after fighting Ling Tong for a long time, he had come to a draw.
Ling Tong's youth had won, and he was getting braver as the battle progressed. Although he couldn't defeat Gan Ning, he wasn't at a disadvantage.
"No wonder Mister thinks so highly of this person. He even risked his life for him and boarded the ship to welcome him!" Such unheard of water skills were truly admirable! If the Prime Minister could get this person, the navy would have a sharp knife that would never fail in the future!”
Ling Tong was desperate for revenge. After a long time, he had no choice but to fight with his life on the line. He didn't hold back anymore. He opened up all his defenses and began to fight Gan Ning without any defense!
But Gan Ning had a fierce personality, and he was determined to fight Ling Tong to the death!
As a result, it did not take long for the two of them to have countless wounds on their bodies, and blood flowed out!
At first, Zhang Liao was very satisfied with the scene and felt that the two people below were to his liking. However, he soon remembered that Guo Yu had come here for Ling Tong. If this continued, Ling Tong would either die or become a cripple, so he became worried again.
"Sir, should I go down and help?”
"You? You won't even be able to stand up if you go down. You'll only be a hindrance.”
"Then how about I shoot arrows here?”
"Is your archery good?"
"This…I think it's a fifty-fifty shot, right?”
Guo Yu immediately glared at Zhang Liao.
Gan Ning kicked the side of the boat so hard that the side of the boat fell off and he fell into the water.
After the cold and salty water washed over him, Gan Ning felt an unbearable pain in his wounds. He had no desire to continue fighting. He held his breath and dived into the water. Ignoring the beasts in the water, he swam back to the camp.
Ling Tong also jumped into the water to catch up, but he had already lost sight of Gan Ning. After a while, he found that he was almost at the water stockade, so he swam back.
At this moment, Ling Tong's family had already been brought onto the ship. Ling Tong also held on to his last breath and boarded the ship before fainting.
Guo Yu saw that although he had many wounds, he was actually fine. Thus, he knew that his goal for this trip had been achieved and he had earned a general. He was slightly happy.
……
Zhou Yu was still waiting for news in the water stockade of Niuzhu. As the people below sent in more and more news, his expression became increasingly unsightly. Beside him, Sun Quan's expression was even colder.
"Viceroy! They had checked the water stronghold several times, but they did not see any of Ling Tong's family!”
"Viceroy! The soldiers below all said that Ling Tong's family members were almost all in this area these days! Since they were not here, they must have escaped!”
Sun Quan, who was listening by the side, kicked the table over!
"Damn it! A traitor, I wish I could kill him with my own hands! That day, this bastard tried to assassinate Gan Xingba during the banquet. I should have killed him! If he didn't stop, there would be today's disaster!”
Although Zhou Yu was also furious, he still managed to comfort Sun Quan,""Don't worry, my lord. I've ordered Gan Ning to go after him.”
Before he could finish his sentence, a commotion broke out outside. Just as Zhou Yu was about to send someone out to ask what was going on, a few generals ran in in a panic!
"My lord! Viceroy! Bad news! We were about to catch up to Ling Tong, but we didn't expect that there would be an ambush on the river. In an instant, countless torches lit up, and the ships of Cao's camp were densely packed! General Gan ordered us to retreat first, but he stayed behind to cover the rear!”
Zhou Yu shuddered when he heard that. His entire body trembled."Foolish! Cao Cao did not have a navy! Although Guo Yu has arrived at Jiujiang, he has only gathered civilian boats and fishermen. What you saw were just fishing boats and fishermen. Why would you retreat when you see them?”
"Gan Xingba is, after all, a man of courage but no wit. How could he have known Guo Yu's plan?" It was already commendable that he could stay behind to personally bring up the rear.”
Sun Quan had personally promoted Gan Ning. Zhou Yu knew that Sun Quan didn't want to lose face, so he was putting in a good word for Gan Ning. He didn't want to argue, so he agreed with Sun Quan.
"Even if Xing Ba were to hold the rear, with his bravery and the quality of our navy, the motley crew of fishermen and fishing boats would not be able to protect Ling Tong! When Xing Ba got close and discovered the situation, he would definitely be able to capture Ling Tong and his family alive!”
Only then did Sun Quan's expression ease up, but it immediately turned ferocious.""Ling Cao is a subordinate of my Sun family, but his son is a disloyal and unjust person. When we capture him and return, I will personally cut open his heart and see if it is black or red!”
But after a long time, there was another commotion outside. Gan Ning was soon brought in, covered in blood and barely breathing.
"Xing Ba, what happened to you?”Sun Quan was shocked when he saw this." Didn't you say that Cao's camp only has fishermen and fishing boats?”
Seeing that no one else had returned from behind Gan Ning, Zhou Yu knew that everyone who had stayed behind had died.
"What exactly happened to you? How did a group of fishermen kill all the soldiers and even you almost lost your life?”
Gan Ning was already on the verge of fainting. He grabbed Zhou Yu and used the last of his strength to mumble,"A ship, what a powerful ship. A ship destroyed all the soldiers who were guarding the rear! Be careful, be careful!"
His voice quickly became softer, but Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's hearts were suddenly lifted by an unknown fear!
What kind of ship could destroy so many Mengchong ships?？
