Woohoo~

The horns of the attack sounded continuously. As the horns sounded and thousands of sails sailed, the Sui navy also began to launch an attack, rushing towards Chen's army in the south. The five-tooth warship opened the way ahead, and the warship followed behind, ready to attack at any time.

Thousands of warships from both sides quickly approached, with bows and arrows raining down, and drums beating loudly. The warships collided with each other, and sharp arrows shot out.

The waves rolled and the sound of killings shook the sky. The Sui Navy was far superior to the Nanchen Navy in terms of weapons and equipment, morale, command and adaptability. It didn't take long for Nanchen Navy to appear to be in retreat. It was only because of Shen Jian's bloody suppression that it was still struggling to stay above the river surface.

"kill!"

Zheng Chenggong personally took the risk and drove a warship into a building ship of the Nanchen Army. There was a bang and the Nanchen soldiers on the ship were knocked down by the impact.

Zheng Chenggong held a sword in his hand and jumped onto the ship. The other officers and soldiers of the Sui army followed Zheng Chenggong's lead and jumped onto the ship, slashing at the chaotic Nanchen Navy.

"Quick, hold on!"

The captain of this building ship was Xie Guang, a descendant of the Xie family in Jiangnan. Although he was frightened by the sudden Sui army, he also knew that if he easily abandoned the ship and fled, he would most likely be beheaded by Shen Jian in public. In desperation, he could only hide among the crowd and direct his troops to fight back with a sullen expression.

Zheng Chenggong's eyes were sharp, and it didn't take long for him to spot Xie Guang hiding in the crowd. He snorted disdainfully, took the bow in his hand, immediately strung the arrow, drew the bow to the full moon, and shot out.

call out!

The sharp arrow shot out of the air and hit Xie Guang's forehead. Xie Guang screamed and fell into the rolling river with a "plop" and quickly disappeared.

"The general died in battle, the general died in battle, run!"

Xie Guang was shot to death by Zheng Chenggong with an arrow, and his troops were immediately in chaos. They abandoned the ship and fled. The flag with the Chinese character "Chen" on the ship was cut off by Zheng Chenggong himself and replaced by the rising flag with the Chinese character Sui.

At the same time, Lai Huer also led hundreds of men who dared to die to attack a building ship, killed the general Gu Luan, and occupied the building ship.

The two generals of the Sui army personally risked their lives and captured one of the Chen's ships. The Sui army's morale was greatly boosted, and they all fought to be the first. Everyone acted bravely, imitating their commanders, and bravely boarded the Chen army's ship to seize the ship. Control.

After an hour, the originally turquoise river water had been dyed a gorgeous scarlet red with blood. There were corpses floating on the river surface, most of them wearing Chen Jun uniforms. As for Chen Jun, who originally had fifteen large ships, only three were still under their control at this moment, and the remaining twelve had already been hoisted with the Sui Army's red eagle battle flag.

"General, leave quickly! Otherwise we will all die here!"

Several lieutenants knelt in front of Shen Jian and begged. They all came from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the soldiers in front of them were originally their private soldiers. If they were all lost here, their status in the Chen Dynasty would be greatly reduced in the future.

Shen Jian's face was as bright as fire, and his eyes were blazing as he looked at the battle flag not far away. He wanted to rush forward and chop it into pieces, but his reason told him to stay calm. Sergeant Chen had the most soldiers here. It is his Shen family. If they are really wiped out here, then the Shen family's vitality will be severely damaged, and his political opponents will annex the Shen family without hesitation.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and ordered with resentment: "Send the order, withdraw the troops!"

Several lieutenants were overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly ordered the trumpets to withdraw. Unfortunately, although they wanted to leave, this was not a place where they could come and leave whenever they wanted. Lai Huer would never let them leave like this.

When the horn of retreat sounded, Lai Zheng, who had secretly circled behind Chen Jun before the battle, suddenly came out from behind with three thousand elites in a small boat, catching Nan Chen Jun by surprise.

Although the troops who came to the headquarters were all small boats such as stern boats and zodiac boats, their morale was as strong as a tiger. Facing the behemoth Nanchen battleship, they showed no fear at all. With their passion, they stopped the Nanchen army alive. .

"Quickly, let the front army give way and let my commander's warships open the way!"

Seeing that the way was blocked, Shen Jian was anxious and immediately ordered the giant handsome boat he was riding on the river to clear the way.

Rumble! ! !

The drums sounded loudly on the river again, and a huge Chen Army warship broke through the water from the chaotic Chen Army warship group. A large golden flag with the word "shen" in it was flying in the wind.

"Bang bang...boom...boom!"

It has to be said that the Shen family, as the first-class noble family in Jiangnan, has quite a terrifying background. Shen Jian's battleship is not only huge, but also extremely solid. After several rounds, there have been nearly ten Sui army ships and ships. It was knocked over and hundreds of Sui soldiers died.

"Damn it, brothers, follow me!"

Lai Zheng saw that Shen Jian's handsome ship was invincible, and his troops fell into the water one after another and died, so he quickly drove the boat towards Shen Jian's handsome ship.

"Follow me, General, and kill!"

Laizheng took the lead, and the Laijia tribe behind them followed bravely, each sliding their oars desperately towards Shen Jian. Although many soldiers were killed by crossbow arrows on Shen Jian's commander's ship, several warships still approached Shen Jian's commander's ship.

"My sons, this must be Commander Chen Jun's ship. Follow me and charge forward to capture Commander Chen alive."

Laizheng roared, took out the iron claw from his waist, threw it out with all his strength, put it on the side of the ship, jumped up, and climbed onto Shen Jian's ship.

"Kill!"

Laizheng's subordinates followed suit one after another, and in an instant, hundreds of warriors boarded the handsome ship.

"Quick, protect the general!"

Most of the soldiers on Shen Jian's ship were his loyal followers. Seeing that Lai Zheng's troops boarded the ship and threatened Shen Jian's life, they all showed their weapons and killed Lai Zheng and his party.

"You guys, how dare you block my way?"

Laizheng looked at the soldiers who were shouting to kill with cold eyes, snorted disdainfully, raised his gun and went up to kill them.

Lai Zheng's martial arts might only be at the middle level among the Sui army, but he was able to deal with these Jiangnan nobles with prowess. The spear in his hand was like a rainbow piercing the sun. In a matter of seconds, he killed twenty or thirty Chen soldiers, and the Chen army was defeated. , fled in all directions.

"Rat, suffer death!"

Laizheng rushed all the way, killing the rebels, passing through the crowd, and stabbed Shen Jian with the spear in his hand. The cold light of the spear tip seemed to be able to blind people.

"ah!"

In the flash of lightning, Shen Jian could only be heard screaming, and a wisp of blood spurted out from his throat. He made several weird noises in his throat, and then he fell headlong onto the deck, with blood covering the whole piece. deck.

Lai Zheng pulled out his sword with his backhand, quickly took two steps forward and cut off Shen Jian's head with one blow. Holding his head in his hand, he shouted at the messy Chen Jun: "All Chen Jun, listen, your general is dead. If you don't surrender immediately, anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
