Chapter 350 (1/2)

‘Shouchun Citycheered in his heart thewas filled with regret He took Gan Ning’s troops with hi Shouchun What he did not expect was that Shouchun was not yet captured He was very pleased with Xu Shu’s work Just as Liu Mang was feeling happy, a general came over to him

“Milord! We have assu He had an unhappy tone as he reported to Liu Mang After all, he caht only to find this kind of conclusion It would be strange for hiht! Doesn’t that justwas like a child trying to placate Gan Ning Most generals, especially the ones with a high position would not like for a battle to start as it means death even if they also received merits While it is understandable for foot soldiers, or 1000-’s navy His position was already very high but even then, he was still unsatisfied

“No Milord” Hearing Liu Mang cohts It was one ht so that he hashad already given the go ahead and agreed that soldiers would not be elites if they do not see blood In this entire war at Yangzhou, the navy had no presence at all They almost had a battle but then Liu Bei retreated Naturally, Gan Ning felt disappointed

Liu Mang laughed He looked at Liu Bei’s withdrawing ar Liu Bei around but he knew that he did not have the capability to do so The Urban Arht The only ones that re’s five thousand troops It was not worth using the navy to fight Liu Bei’s elite land troops So, Liu Mang could only watch Liu Bei’s Arht

“Xingba Shouchun’s probleet that we still live in tier had the strength to continue his attack which zhou Meanwhile, Gan Ning did not understand what Liu Mangcould only try and explain his words better “The battle at Shouchun is within my territory Even if in,looked at the industrial zone that was now in ruins He would need a lot of , Hefei and Chengde was captured and burned down by Liu Bei Although Liu Mang had a lot of citizens, they would still need to spend a lot to rebuild those cities Thisand Liu Bei did not win Liu Bei was not able to take Yangzhou but he was still able to destroy ’s hard work Although Liu Mang was able to capture some of Liu Bei’s city, he could not occupy them as he lacked troops Liu Bei also still has his White Eared elites

Regardless, so could clearly see that as he had advisors like Xu Shu and Liu Ye Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu had joined forces to attack hi was not Liu Mang’s style Liu Mang would definitely nificant watchdog Liu Mang had already killed off eight thousand of his Xiliang Cavalry Once Liu Mang have finished creating the White Horses, he would join up with the Wolf Cavalry and wipe out Zhang Xiu Zhang Xiu anized and could easily be defeated

Liu Mang was not able to chase Liu Bei at that moment because his main army was seasick However, Liu Bei only had infantry and would not be able to run very far Once Liu Mang’s troops have recovered, they could chase him down Liu Bei oalso only have Runan left at Yuzhou so Liu Mang would be able to chase hi the ti about the plans in ’s entire predica attacked by Liu Bei was a strategy that ca It was also Sun Ce’s fault that Lu Bu was not able to send reinforceainst the Xiu and Liu Bei, Sun Ce’s territory was on the opposite side of the river Liu Mang would not be able to attack Sun Ce with the Urban Arer navy to ensure his victory This was also why Liu Mang treated Gan Ning and the navy preciously It was also why Xu Shu refused to allow Gan Ning to help out in defending Shouchun

“Jiangdong has hundreds and thousands of navy troops Xingba, how ly asked

“A navy of hundred thousand?” Gan Ning’s eyes lit up when he heard Liu Mang’s words Gan Ning had fought against the Jiangdong navy before when he was still serving under Liu Biao He is one of the few people that werehad also beco navy into a watery grave at Wancheng Besides that, he was Liu Mang’s only expert at water battles There was no one to fight with hi’s words had certainly et too excited The burdens placed on you is not light!” Liu Mang said to Gan Ning It was a good thing to have a strong will to fight but Liu Mangdid not overwhelht ally himself with Sun Ce It was not an impossibility as Liu Biao had chosen to watch this battle unfold It was also why Liu Mang had Wei Yan capture Yiyang as interest

“Milord! When do we deploy the navy?” Gan Ning was no longer eyeing the Liu Bei’s Army outside the city He idong and Jingzhou navies

“Don’t hurry” Liu Mang replied The navy does not only consist of troops but also warshi+ps Liu Mang had given Gan Ning with his first shi+p at Lujiang This shi+p was s initially had fourteen thousand men Three thousand had been left behind as land troops The re eleven thousand men would need a minimum of fifty five shi+ps To show their true capabilities, they would need seventy shi+ps However, they only have twenty shi+ps with them In other words, most of the navy did not even have a shi+p

“What’s the harm in it? Milord My ar shi+ps!” Gan Ning boldly declared However, Gan Ning only had firepower If he goes up against superior nuy On the other hand, the technology ’s hands where they could even in

“There is no need to hurry for now” Liu Mang waved Gan Ning’s concerns away “Now that Liu Bei has been chased away, Shouchun can once again continue building shi+ps There are also still many shi+ps not yet outfitted with the ballista At earliest, we could only provide them to you on the first month!”

“Report! Milord! The Military Advisor has woken up!” Just as Gan Ning wanted to continue arguing for his battle, one of the defenders of Shouchun went up to Liu Mang and gave his report

“Yuanzhi is awake!” Liu Mang was surprised Xu Shu had been so confused that he wanted to die together with Shouchun Fortunately, Zhao Yun stopped Xu Shu by knocking him out They had planned to secretly send Xu Shu away by shi+p but they had encountered Liu Mang along the way Xu Shu was then sent back to Shouchun to recuperate Xu Shu woke up in the shortwas on the walls of the city

“Quick! Takethe horses!” Gan Ning also shouted to his navy A few horses were sent to Liu Mang who got on and went straight to the govern stayed behind on the walls as a precaution

“Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear1” Lu Bu muttered out He also know of this style as he had encountered this before “Did you study under Li Yan?” With Zhang Xiu defeated, the Xiliang Cavalry would no longer be able to fight back He also would not si Xiu
