"Of course, this general has said before that in this battle, if Pei Zong insists on holding on, it will not be a decisive victory. No matter how brave the Qin army is, fighting on the river will not be at my mercy."
Huangfu Yuqi looked proud.
Now that he can annihilate the enemy with a little trick, how can he not be happy?
At this moment, several ships appeared again on the river ahead.
The general immediately pointed his finger and said: "General, look, the Qin army has another warship approaching."
"They came at the right time, so let them never come back." Huangfu Yuqi was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Let my elite enter the water."
"No!" Pian Jiang accepted the order with his fists clasped.
After a while, he started waving his hands and giving instructions.
Under his command, there was a splashing sound and water splashing all around. One by one, Wu's soldiers took off their armor, stripped their arms and jumped into the river one after another.
It can be seen from this that Wu Jun's elite navy did not gain its reputation in vain. On the Yangtze River, their water properties were excellent.
A moment later, the ship responsible for calling Tian You back was approaching. Seeing the stranded situation, someone immediately shouted: "Stop moving forward——"
The sailors returned their oars one after another, and several ships stopped in place.
But soon, with the sound of splashing water, human heads suddenly appeared near the side of the ship.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!"
The Qin soldiers on the boat immediately bent their bows, but just half leaned out, and took a closer look. Apart from the ripples under the water, there was still half a human figure.
Immediately afterwards, slight vibrations began to come from the bottom of the ship.
The soldiers didn't know what was going on and looked left and right.
Then, someone started shouting in panic: "No! The boat is leaking!"
There is no doubt that Wu Jun sneaked into the bottom of the ship and penetrated the warship. There was not just one breach, but water came out of many places.
In this situation, it won't take long for them to sink to the bottom of the river. Under the chaos, all the Qin troops were also a little panicked.
The same is true for Tian You.
Seeing the chaos and the disoriented Qin army on the ship, Huangfu Yuqi couldn't help but smile up again.
For Huangfu Yuqi, this small-scale battle of luring the enemy to annihilate them was carried out perfectly. Needless to say, the result of the small battle was that the Wu army, with their familiarity with the waters and the aquatic nature of their soldiers, did not waste a single soldier. , successfully destroyed more than a dozen warships of the Qin army, and naturally none of the soldiers on the warships were spared.
After solving these problems, Huangfu Yuqi returned to the camp with satisfaction. As soon as he came back, Pei Zong, who heard about the situation, also rushed over.
At this time, Huangfu Yuqi was full of joy. When he saw Pei Zong, he even had a show-off mentality and said: "Old General Pei, the last general visited the camp today. Not only did he find out the Qin army's water stronghold, but he also took advantage of the situation and wiped out the enemy. Qian, this Qin army has nothing to worry about. From my point of view, we can definitely defeat the King of Qin."
I thought that Pei Zong would praise him, but instead he looked gloomy and said coldly: "General Huangfu, since you are visiting the camp, you should be careful about why you provoke a war, and I have no military orders for war."
With his tone, Huangfu Yuqi's face suddenly became unsightly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Old General, what do you mean by this? Isn't it wrong to annihilate the enemy?"
"It's not that you failed to annihilate the enemy, it's that you exposed Repulse Bay too early and used ship-cutting tactics too early, which ruined our major event." Pei Zongdao: "The forest of rocks dropped by Repulse Bay was originally prepared for the decisive battle. Qin The army doesn't know yet, but if this happens, our ambush will be wiped out immediately, and in future battles, the Qin army will definitely be fortified against the ship."
Pei Zong was speaking from his heart. This shallow bay was indeed prepared for a decisive battle, and he wanted to strand the main force of the Qin army, not a dozen small ships.
But there is no doubt that in Huangfu Yuqi's view, this is not the case at all. He will definitely understand that Pei Zong can't stand him and is deliberately suppressing him.
Human nature is what it is.
Especially when you think you are successful, others do not admit it and instead say you are doing something bad.
Huangfu Yuqi was feeling a little angry now. His face was gloomier than that of Pei Zong. He couldn't help snorting coldly and said: "I understand what the old general said. It was my fault for annihilating the enemy this time. It's my fault." I have some military affairs to attend to, so I’ll take my leave!”
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and walked away directly.
"General Huangfu..." Pei Zong stretched out his hand, wanting to call him, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only sigh again.
Seeing this, a general moved his lips and said tentatively: "This General Huangfu..."
"Forget it." Pei Zong said helplessly: "It has already happened. It's my fault that I didn't remind him before. I just never thought that his desire to win was too strong and something would go wrong..."
Pei Zong was worried because there was no clear military order before and he could not face the blame of Huangfu Yuqi in this matter.
But on the latter's side, on the way back to the military tent, the general said: "Old General Pei has been stationed on the Yangtze River for such a long time, but he has not made any achievements. But as soon as the general came, our troops lured and annihilated the enemy, and successfully defeated the enemy." The Qin army is so powerful that others will inevitably be jealous of it."
These words spoke to Huangfu Yuqi's heart. He glanced at the general and sneered: "Humph, I killed the enemy and made great achievements, and there is something wrong with it? It's really ridiculous! I'm afraid this Pei Zong will be dead early." I don’t like it.”
"General." The general said flatteringly: "Back then, you competed with Pei Zong for the position of commander. Can they treat you well?"
"Well..." Huangfu Yuqi nodded with deep understanding and said, "No matter what, no one can erase our military achievements. I will write a personal letter and pass the battle report to the king."
"The general is wise." The general agreed quickly. He came to the front line with Huangfu Yuqi. It can be said that he is a completely trusted subordinate, so he naturally follows his lead.
After a small battle, Huangfu Yuqi immediately began to send letters to the royal court, writing big and special letters, trying his best to win military exploits for himself.
On the other side, the Qin Navy Navy Camp.
"Your Majesty, General Tian You has... drowned in the Yangtze River..." A general reported carefully.
Xiao Yuan threw the bamboo slips on the handsome case and cursed loudly: "A common man! A common man!"
He was scolded, but his face also showed a look of sadness. No king would be indifferent to the loss of a general, no matter how big or small.
"Well..." Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "This is to the advantage of the enemy, and it is also something that our army can take advantage of."
