Gan Ning looked at the slowly retreating Liaodong Navy's battleships through the telescope and could only shake his head. If they avoided this area, it would be really difficult to chase them.
Because those reefs and dark stone boats could pass, but big ships like the Sovereign class really couldn't pass.
This time, if they couldn't destroy the Liaodong Navy and let them hide in the Liaodong Sea, it may lead to an ending, that is, when the Yangzhou Army landed in Liaodong, they may come out to cause trouble.
If they were not careful, they could not think about it. After all, Gan Ning's battleships could not pass through Liaodong Harbor. In the end, Gan Ning chose to give up. He could choose not to attack Liaodong, but he couldn't afford to lose a single Sovereign Class Warship.
"General, look over there!" The Vice General continued to remind him.
Gan Ning looked over, and suddenly, he was burning with anger.
"What!" The Vice General was also angry, because the Liaodong Navy had been looking down on their Yangzhou Navy. At the beginning, they showed the white flag, which was a kind of humiliation, they wanted to directly make the Yangzhou Navy surrender.
That was because they didn't see the strength of the Yangzhou Navy. But now, the Yangzhou Navy sent their warships into the sea one after another. Although the Liaodong Navy didn't lose their main fleet, they didn't have the slightest ability to compete with the Yangzhou Navy. If they had the ability, they wouldn't have avoided the battle.
However, the Liaodong Navy still showed the sign of surrender, this was to anger Gan Ning.
Gan Ning took a deep breath, he had to force himself to calm down, otherwise, Gan Ning would directly chase after them.
"General, General Liang Chen's battleship!" Gan Ning looked in the direction the deputy general was pointing at. Liang Chen couldn't hold it in any longer and was about to charge forward.
"Come back!" Gan Ning shouted. "Give me the order, tell Liang Chen to come back, if he does not come back, then don't come back!" Gan Ning let his subordinates give the order to Liang Chen.
"Yes!" Soon, someone went to do it.
But Yang Chen over there shouted, "Slow down!"
"Hmm?" Gan Ning looked at Yang Chen doubtfully. The other side was Liang Chen's army. There could only be one person in the army who could give orders. When Yang Chen boarded the warship, Gan Ning told Yang Chen that Yang Chen would formulate the strategy and Gan Ning would be responsible for the war. During the war, Yang Chen would not allow the slightest obstruction. But now it was different. Yang Chen actually intervened in the war, Gan Ning would not do it.
He looked coldly at Yang Chen over there, "Yang Chen Da Ren, this is a matter of war, it is a matter of our army, it has nothing to do with you Yang Chen, you Yang Chen Da Ren can't manage my affairs!" Gan Ning said coldly. He could tolerate the failure of the Battle of Liaodong, but he could not allow the three Sovereigns to suffer any damage.
"General Gan Ning, I think you have misunderstood!" Yang Chen shook his head and said to Gan Ning. He really didn't understand the matter of war. He was not an opponent in arranging troops. He only knew how to take into account the overall situation. For example, he told Gan Ning where to attack. As for how Gan Ning fought, it was not Yang Chen's business. But now, Yang Chen reminded Gan Ning because he was a diplomat, or from the perspective of a civil official.
"General Gan Ning, look at those warships of the Liaodong Navy, do they still have the slightest intention to fight?" Yang Chen said to Gan Ning.
"En?" Gan Ning frowned and picked up the binoculars.
"The white flag hanging on the flag, in my opinion, is not a provocation, but the Liaodong Navy is really going to surrender!" Yang Chen said to Gan Ning on the side.
"Surrender?" Gan Ning didn't understand. The Liaodong Navy was not fighting well. Although they lost dozens of warships, the main warships were not lost.
Yang Chen also felt doubts about his intuition. After crossing the strait over there, the Liaodong Navy could withdraw!
"Liaodong Navy Commander An Yixuan! An Yixuan is Gongsun Kang's confidant! Gongsun Kang! "Yang Chen's eyes suddenly widened." Haha, haha! " Yang Chen laughed.
"Yang Chen Daren?" Gan Ning thought that Yang Chen had lost his mind. He suddenly stopped himself and suddenly laughed. Wasn't this a fool?
"I know, I know!" Yang Chen said to Gan Ning on the side. "General Gan Ning, let General Liang Chen go, those Liaodong Navy are going to surrender!" Yang Chen said to Gan Ning.
"What!" Gan Ning was completely confused. What was this guy thinking? The enemy would surrender? Wasn't this a dream?
But when Gan Ning saw the scene on Liang Chen's side, he was completely stunned.
All the soldiers on the warships went to the deck and were close to the range of the Burly Man's ship. They all raised their hands.
This was a sign of surrender. Apart from the soldiers who jumped on the deck, there was no one else on the deck. Now, the deck was densely packed with people. There was no one to steer the ship, and the sails were lowered. The Liaodong Navy could be said to have lost their last bit of fighting power.
"En?" Gan Ning frowned, he was afraid that An Yixuan might be on the other side. Surrendering was the only way for him to board the ship. If the ship was captured, then it would be a big problem, so Gan Ning didn't want to take the risk.
"No, let the Burly Man maintain its firepower, don't accept the surrender!" Gan Ning didn't want to let the Burly Man take the risk.
However, something unexpected happened to Gan Ning. They actually cut off the masts of the entire warship, and the masts fell on the sea. It could be said that the mobility of the entire Liaodong Navy was completely lost. Now they were left on the sea, they were living targets. As long as they were not blind, a round of salvo could send them to hell.
"General Gan Ning, what about this?" Yang Chen looked at Gan Ning over there.
Gan Ning also felt strange. He had seen people pledging to fight to the death, but he really had never seen people pledging to surrender. This was another round of cannonballs sending them into the sea, but they were not willing to escape and had to surrender.
"Don't fight, don't fight, we are here to surrender, surrender!" A military order came from the Burly Man, saying that there was a general of the Liaodong Navy who wanted to see Gan Ning.
Sure enough, Gan Ning saw a small boat slowly coming out of the sea.
"Let them get on the boat!" Gan Ning saw that such a small boat could only fit seven or eight people at most. He let the people bring the boat up, and soon several people walked down from it.
The leader, Gan Ning naturally recognized, his eyes widened, "An Yixuan?"
It turned out that the leader was the commander of the Liaodong Navy, An Yixuan.
"General Gan Ning, do you know him?" Yang Chen asked again, fearing that Gan Ning would recognize the wrong person.
Gan Ning nodded, he would not recognize the wrong person, because Gan Ning had been to the Liaodong Navy as a guest. At that time, he and An Yixuan admired each other.
"Humph!" An Yixuan coldly snorted, deepening his certainty. "If you want to kill me, do as you please!"
Yang Chen looked at Gan Ning, now that the commander of the Liaodong Navy was brought to the Yangzhou Navy Station's battleship, the Liaodong Navy there could not be fake anymore.
"This must be Yang Chen Daren!" A general next to An Yixuan looked at Yang Chen flatteringly.
"Who are you?" Yang Chen looked at the general next to An Yixuan doubtfully.
"Humph, despicable villain Dongfang Ming! Even if I die, I will not forgive you! "An Yixuan shouted at Dongfang Ming loudly. Dongfang Ming was An Yixuan's lieutenant, how could he appear here, and his own commander like this?
"Noisy!" However, Dongfang Ming did not have the intuition of a lieutenant, he directly stepped forward and punched An Yixuan's body.
"This little one, Dongfang Ming, greets Yang Chen Daren. Long live Yang Chen Daren!" Dongfang Ming looked at Yang Chen with a smile.
"En?" Yang Chen looked at Dongfang Ming's smile and did not feel uncomfortable. He was not as sensitive as those generals, he did not have much disgust for this kind of person who surrendered, because in his opinion, a wise man submits to the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, this showed that His Highness was the Lord of the world, and everyone had to rely on him.
In Yang Chen's opinion, this Dongfang Ming's smile was very fake, not only was it fake, but it also seemed to be mixed with something.
"This little one was deceived by this traitor An Yixuan, he actually wanted to be a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he even dared to be the enemy of the King's army. This little one lost his way, he kidnapped An Yixuan and offered him to General Gan Ning, begging General Gan Ning for forgiveness!" Dongfang Ming directly knelt in front of Gan Ning, lying in front of Gan Ning, he almost kissed Gan Ning's toes.
Gan Ning retreated two steps in disgust. He hated this kind of person the most. Not only did he betray his master, but he also kidnapped his own general.
This was simply a complete loss of humanity and morality, such a person was the most hated by Gan Ning, but no matter how much he hated it, Gan Ning still patiently said to Dongfang Ming over there. "General Dongfang Ming, please get up, to be able to return to the right path, this is already considered good!" Gan Ning said to Dongfang Ming. "I will report to His Highness the King Of Shu, let His Highness the King Of Shu reward you!"
"Thank you General Gan Ning, thank you General Yang Chen, thank you General Gan Ning, thank you General Yang Chen, thank you General Yang Chen, the two sirs' great kindness will be unforgettable." Dongfang Ming over there made a wish to Gan Ning and Yang Chen.
"So fake, it doesn't look like a smile, what is hidden inside!"
"En! Go and let your ship surrender! "Gan Ning said to Dongfang Ming.
"Thank you General, thank you General!" Dongfang Ming was still kowtowing to express his gratitude, but suddenly a trace of a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hostility!" Yang Chen, who has been paying attention to Dongfang Ming over there, sensed it.
"Pass my military order, let the Burly Man approach those Liaodong Navy warships and prepare to surrender!" Gan Ning was about to speak to the deputy general on the white border, let the deputy general raise the flag and let the Burly Man go forward to receive the captives, but before he could say anything, he was pulled by Yang Chen on the side.
Yang Chen smiled and said to Gan Ning, "General Gan Ning, pass down the military order!" Yang Chen suddenly put away his smile, "Set up all the cannons, send the Liaodong Navy to the sea for me!"
"What?" Gan Ning didn't understand, it was Yang Chen who stopped him, and now it was Yang Chen who didn't let him surrender, what was Yang Chen doing?
"General Gan Ning, don't worry, wait for General Liang Chen on the Burly Man to execute the military order, then it will naturally be clear at a glance!" Yang Chen said to Gan Ning.
"General Gan Ning, save us, save them, they are innocent, we have already surrendered, why don't you let us go, we were deceived by Gongsun Kang and An Yixuan, we want to bathe in the Emperor's grace, we want to surrender to His Highness the King Of Shu!" Dongfang Ming screamed and begged Gan Ning on the side.
The Liaodong Navy's chief general was captured, how could there be a chance to rebel again? "Pass my military order, let Liang Chen of the Burly Man surrender!"
"No! Immediately pass down the order, let the Burly Man fire the cannons and send all the Liaodong Navy to the sea for me to feed the sharks! "Yang Chen and Gan Ning were tit-for-tat.
"Yang Chen Daren, you have to know that this is my Huaxia, I am the captain of the Huaxia ship, and I am also the commander of this Navy!" Gan Ning said to Yang Chen on the side.
"Oh, then I also want General Gan Ning to know that I am the general manager of Liaodong appointed by His Highness, I am in charge of everything in Liaodong, everything that happens in Liaodong is under my management, and General Gan Ning, you seem to have forgotten that the Lord gave me the tiger tally before letting me go to war!" Yang Chen on the side also bluntly reminded Gan Ning.
When Gan Ning's army was about to set out, Yang Hong asked for the tiger tally for his son, hoping that his son could really take down Liaodong and let Gan Ning cooperate with him.
"You!" Gan Ning was speechless, if it was just a general manager of Liaodong, then Gan Ning could ignore it, after all, he was the general of the Navy, he could do whatever he wanted, but now that he had the tiger tally, it was not easy to deal with it. It could be said that Gan Ning was the commander of the entire fleet, but Yang Chen was the commander of Gan Ning's people.
"Come on, pass down my order, let the cannons open fire, and send all the warships of the Liaodong Navy to the sea for me!" Yang Chen shouted at the deputy general over there.
The deputy general looked at Gan Ning, but Gan Ning did not respond, so he had to listen to Yang Chen's order.
"No, General Gan Ning, you can't, you can't! Dongfang Ming over there is still fighting for the last chance for himself.
"Yang Chen, you are enough!" Gan Ning also looked at Yang Chen angrily.
"Why, General Gan Ning, do you want to go against the Lord's will?" Yang Chen did not give in at all. In the past, Gan Ning said ten sentences to Yang Chen, and Yang Chen finally said one sentence. Basically, he did not oppose Gan Ning's will, but now it has become different, this Yang Chen actually expressed dissatisfaction with Gan Ning.
"I don't dare! Hmph! " Gan Ning coldly snorted, he was also helpless, and was ready to leave. "Since His Highness said so, this fleet will be handed over to Yang Chen alone, Gan Ning's knowledge is shallow, I can't bear it." Gan Ning said coldly and went back to the cabin, this meant that he wanted to go on strike.
"General Gan Ning, this is the kind of temperament!" Yang Chen said indifferently on the side.
"This is not a matter of temperament, but I, Gan Ning, see a person doing something wrong, but I can't stop him!" Gan Ning said to Yang Chen.
"General Gan Ning, you think I am wrong!" Yang Chen asked Gan Ning over there.
Gan Ning did not speak, such behavior showed that he acquiesced to this fact.
"Well, since General Gan Ning said so, then how about we witness it!" Yang Chen looked at Gan Ning and looked at Dongfang Ming over there.
"How to witness it?" Gan Ning asked Yang Chen coldly.
"If my order is wrong, then I, Yang Chen, am willing to bind myself in front of General Gan Ning. In the future, whatever General Gan Ning says, I, Yang Chen, will not say anything!" Yang Chen said to Gan Ning over there.
"En?" Gan Ning frowned and looked at Yang Chen.
"If I am lucky and do the right thing, then I ask General Gan Ning to let go of the past and live up to the Lord's trust with me!" Yang Chen said to Gan Ning.
"Good! I'd like to see how you're right! "Gan Ning nodded.
"I am afraid that General Dongfang Ming will tell you this question!" Yang Chen sneered and looked at Dongfang Ming over there.
"No, no!" Dongfang Ming's eyes widened. How could Yang Chen know? He couldn't see it, it was impossible.
"The facts will be revealed soon!" Yang Chen looked at Dongfang Ming coldly. Soon, the deputy on the side sent out the flag.
On the Burly Man, Liang Chen got the flag. "Fire at full power, aim at those Liaodong Navy who have broken their masts and are ready to surrender. Is big brother crazy?" Liang Chen didn't understand, but although he didn't understand, Liang Chen still resolutely carried it out. Even if his big brother asked him to bombard Shouchun, he dared to do it.
The Burly Man started to move. The sails that were originally lowered were raised again, and the flames were once again reloaded.
"Boom!" A lump of metal flew out. This was a test shot, followed by a series of "Boom, boom, boom, boom!" Sparks flew everywhere.
When the cannons landed on the surface of the water, they caused huge waves. When the cannons landed on the warships of the Liaodong Navy, they sunk. Soon, more than a dozen warships sank into the sea along with the people on board.
"What!" Gan Ning was stunned. He stared at the scene through the telescope. In his opinion, the Liaodong Navy's battleships had their sails cut off, and there was no possibility for them to move. They were like targets, but suddenly, they cruised flexibly, and the other sail rippled.
"Dongfang Ming!" Gan Ning roared. This was clearly a trap, a trap set for him. He wasn't defenseless. He was playing the pig to eat the tiger. If Gan Ning listened to Dongfang Ming and let the Liao Dong Navy's warships get close to the Burly Man, then the Burly Man would be boarded. That would be the end of the Burly Man.
Gan Ning was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, and then looked at Dongfang Ming with hatred.
"Dongfang Ming, how could you? How could you? "Even An Yixuan was very surprised. He didn't understand at all.
"How could you know?" Dongfang Ming ignored Gan Ning and An Yixuan, and looked at Yang Chen. He stared at Yang Chen's eyes, as if he wanted to see the answer from there.
"It's very simple, intuition!" Yang Chen gave Dongfang Ming the most unacceptable answer.
"Intuition?" Dongfang Ming didn't understand why Yang Chen dared to believe in intuition. One must know that in order to perform the whole play well, he even lied to An Yixuan. He provoked An Yixuan's folklore and kidnapped him, preparing to use An Yixuan to confuse the enemy, but he didn't expect Yang Chen to see through it.
In fact, did Yang Chen really rely on intuition? This was really true, or it was just a part of it.
Yang Chen felt uncomfortable when he looked at Dongfang Ming from the beginning, and he was sure that Dongfang Ming didn't really surrender because of Gongsun Kang.
It was said that Gongsun Kang didn't allow his subordinates to fail. He was arrogant, and this kind of arrogant person wanted to control everything. Therefore, since this Liaodong Navy was able to ride on Gongsun Kang's confidant, then naturally, Gongsun Kang had 90% certainty that he wouldn't betray him. The simplest and most violent way to make this army not betray him was to take the families of the generals to the city. In this way, which Liaodong Navy general would dare to rebel? They weren't afraid that if they betrayed here, Gongsun Kang would kill their whole family.
It was precisely because of this that Yang Chen didn't think that Dongfang Ming came to surrender from the beginning.
Of course, Yang Chen wouldn't tell Dongfang Ming to die so easily. This Dongfang Ming was a good schemer. He used An Yixuan to confuse Gan Ning and make Gan Ning lose his vigilance. Then, he waited for an opportunity to make a move. He was a talent. If this guy's family wasn't in Gongsun Kang's hands, Yang Chen might have accepted him.
"How could it be, how could it be!" An Yixuan on the side obviously couldn't think straight. How could a person who just rebelled against him suddenly become someone who wouldn't surrender even if he died?
"General, I'm sorry!" Dongfang Ming cupped his fist and said to An Yixuan. Dongfang Ming was really afraid of going back, because if he went back and lost the city, then he would inevitably be dragged out as a scapegoat. If that happened, then his family would really be finished.
But if he surrendered to Yangzhou, then his family would be finished. So, Dongfang Ming could only come up with this idea. Relying on his own sacrifice and the idea of causing An Yixuan to die with him, he would deceive Gan Ning and then perish together with Gan Ning. It would be better if he could snatch the big man ship, but if he couldn't, then he would destroy him.
As for surviving, Dongfang Ming really didn't think about it.
Those naval warships of Liaodong often wandered in the sea. Once they encountered a storm, they would often break their sails. Once the sails were destroyed in the storm, then the ship wouldn't be far from being destroyed. So, all the warships of the Liaodong Navy were equipped with another set of sails.
"General, even if I die, I will drag someone down with me. Yang Chen, accept your death!" After saying that, Dongfang Ming rushed towards Yang Chen with a ferocious expression.
"Rebel, you dare!" Gan Ning was enraged. He looked like an angry King Kong.
