Birds fly over the sky, fish swim in the shallow bottom, Gan Ning stands at the bow of the boat, feeling the gust of river wind.

"Commander, we will reach Chungu County ten miles ahead!"

"Let the Clippers go to the front to explore the way!"

"promise!"

Chungu County is the first county under Danyang County after leaving Chaohu Waterway. Although Yangzhou is vast, most of it is still undeveloped. For example, Fujian Province in later generations is now a symbolic county town, and most of the cities and population are gathered on the edges of the Yangtze River or other major rivers.

"General Gan, if Chungu County is not prepared, you can't get involved with them and just go straight to Wuhu!"

The Si** next to him suggested to Gan Ning.

"Oh? Why?"

"Ruyi expected that Wuhu must be the place where Sun family hoarded food and grass, and it was ten times better than Chungu!"

"really?"

"Wuhu is located at the junction of the three counties, connected to the Yangtze River in the west and Taihu Lake in the east, with convenient transportation. If I store grain, I will definitely store it here! I think Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will choose here too!"

Gan Ning grinned, revealing her white teeth, and laughed and said, "Okay, then we'll go straight to Wuhu!"

It was actually an accident that Si** would appear on the fleet. Logically, he should have stayed in Jiujiang with Pang Tong, but Gan Ning took the initiative to propose to Zhao Yun that he could send an additional wise man as a counselor. Zhao Yun asked Pang Tong and Si** to choose one person to accompany the army.

Pang Tong consciously robbed Si** of the merits of clearing the river, so he gave Si** this opportunity to accompany the army. Si** also hoped to get more credit to pave the way for his subsequent results.

Wuhu is also an ancient city. Its original name was Jiuzi. It was renamed Wuhu during the Western Han Dynasty and has been used to this day.

In fact, both Wuhu and Jiuzi are describing the geographical characteristics here. The terrain is flat, with many lakes and swamps, so many birds like to gather here. Jiuzi refers to the gathering of doves, while Wuhu refers to the meaning of the turquoise and algae that is not deep in water storage.

Si** was not wrong. Wuhu was indeed an important grain station for the Yangzhou army. Therefore, even though the frontline enemy was in front, Sun Ce still retained 500 elite troops to cooperate with local county officials and township brave men to guard the place in case of accidents.

But the troops left by Sun Ce were to guard against bandits or Shanyue people, and were not used to guard against the Hebei army at all.

After all, in Sun Ce's view, the Hebei army is still in Jingzhou.

Therefore, when countless warships with Hebei Han Army flags appeared on the river, the Wuhu County Magistrate and the local garrison were rubbing their eyes, looking unbelievable.

Originally, according to Gan Ning's intention, it would be enough to attack directly, but Si** advised Gan Ning to use artillery to intimidate the defenders and strive to make the defenders surrender.

After all, there are so many food and grass stored in Wuhu City. What if someone is burned to death, wouldn’t it be a pity?

"Therefore, military strategy says: A wise general should eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one bell, and I should be twenty bells! If I can..."

Before Si** could finish speaking, Gan Ning waved his hand to show that he understood.

Isn’t it just to use force to intimidate and then ask to hand over the money and food, otherwise it will threaten to tear the tickets!

I'm familiar with this life!

Si** listened to Gan Ning talking about his understanding, frowned and felt something was wrong.

"Little ones, pull a knife on their butts-open your eyes, aim at that little port, and hit me!"

Under Gan Ning's command, thunder sounded, and the port in Wuhu that had already escaped was smashed by Gan Ning's artillery.

In order to enhance the visual impact, Gan Ning also used the flowering bullet very luxuriously. This thing is much more expensive than the solid bullet, but it is indeed much better than the solid bullet after explosion.

After all, if you just hit it, you can just hit it with a hole. If you are far away, you won’t know if you hit it.

Seeing the port under the city being bombed so loudly, the county magistrate and the guards couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

They don't think their heads are stronger than the century-old wood used to build ports.

"Why did Ma Ziyu's fleet appear here? Is Chibi already defeated? Or is Wu County lost?" Wuhu County Magistrate Yuan Fa looked at Sun Dan, the guard next to him and asked.

Yuan Fa came from the Yuan family in Runan. He originally followed Yuan Shu. Later, after Yuan Shu was defeated, he surrendered to Sun Ce and became the county magistrate of Wuhu.

As for Sun Dan, he was also a member of Sun Ce's tribe, but he didn't have much ability. He could not fight and was unable to make a decision on politics. He could only rely on his loyalty to the Sun family to defend the important place in the rear.

Loyalty is actually a skill!

And for the superiors, this ability is more important than other abilities.

Therefore, the loyal Sun Dan was the real person in Wuhu at this time.

Sun Dan felt the gazes around him, and he didn't know what was going on.

Didn’t Jiang Xia send a message two days ago that the direction of Chibi is still in confrontation?

Why did the weather change overnight?

But if the situation changes again, Sun Dan, as a member of the Sun family, still has to work hard to protect this family business.

"The thief army is powerful, what should we do?"

Yuan Fa really wanted to say that we might as well vote, but considering Sun Dan's identity, the words turned into "The thief army may just come to attack, as long as we guard the city, we will be able to wait for reinforcements."

As soon as Yuan finished speaking, Gan Ning sent two people to the city to shout, "We are in accordance with the emperor's order and the general's order to attack the unjust ministers. Wherever the army arrived, Liu Cong stopped and Sun Quan abandoned the city, which shows that the destiny of heaven is in the north.

If you know the destiny of heaven, after a drum, you will abandon your weapons and open the city, and you can retain the wealth in the city.

After the second drum, abandoning the weapons and opening the city, he can still save his life.

After the three-way drum, once the city is broken, all the military marquis and above will be killed!"

Huh ~

Sun Dan clearly felt that many soldiers around him breathed a sigh of relief.

No, what do you mean?

You can't kill you, right?

Besides, although my Wuhu City is small, it has been repaired to stockpile food and grass, so it should not be taken down so easily.

I don’t know if it was Gan Ning’s intentional or accident, but suddenly a warship’s artillery aimed at the wrong position and fired a shot at the Wuhu city gate. The cannon was solid bullets, and the hot shell hit the city gate and stuck directly on the door, and then black smoke rose.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw that the city gate suddenly raised a piece and hurriedly reported it upwards.

When Sun Dan, Yuan Fa and others heard the news, they came to the city gate and saw that the city gate was completely broken and seemed to be a little short of being broken.

This Wuhu City... doesn't seem to be that strong either.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sound of drums on the warship began to sound, and Yuan Fa looked at Sun Dan anxiously, hoping that he would speak soon.

Brother, don’t hold on, if you hold on, you will really die!

Sun Dan learned that the Hebei Army had already started to form a team outside the city. Looking at the city gate that was smashed and thinking about the exploding port I just saw, he kept breathing heavily.

The drums became louder and louder, and Sun Dan's breathing became faster and faster.

Finally, the drums stopped.
Chapter completed!
