Under the pursuit, the vastness in front of us was no longer so vast, and the boating waters became narrower and narrower.
At this time, the general couldn't help but said: "General, the water ahead is getting narrower, and I am afraid that the warships will not be able to move forward. Do you still want to pursue us?"
Huangfu Yuqi thought about it and said decisively: "Chase! The Qin army has been defeated like a mountain, and they only have to flee to see where the King of Qin can escape!"
Under his order, the Wu army warships still persisted.
Little did he know that he was already dozens of miles away from his navy camp.
The pursuit continued, and in the end, the warships could no longer spread out horizontally, but became huddled together.
Seeing that the waterway was becoming more and more inconvenient, the general was about to say something more, but at this time, the Qin army warships in front of them that were fleeing for their lives stopped all together, and then turned around in unison.
Seeing this, General Wu Jun subconsciously said: "General! It seems there is a fraud!"
"Well!?" Huangfu Yuqi frowned and said with a glare: "Since the Qin army has stopped, why should our army be afraid! Order the warships to attack!"
On his side, he was ready to continue chasing, and on Xiao Yuan's side, he gave an order directly.
General Qin began to shout loudly:
"ignition!"
The military order was issued, and under the kerosene, the front row of warships and the entire bow were instantly ablaze.
"Attack——"
A row of fast boats, with firelight, came quickly.
When Huangfu Yuqi saw this, his eyes widened.
"Spread out! Quickly spread out -"
He screamed at the top of his lungs, but this place was small, and it was not as vast as the river during the decisive battle. Even if he wanted to disperse to the left and right, there was no way for both sides to make room.
Wu Jun's warships were not scattered as before, but densely packed.
If you have to use fire to attack in a water battle, how can you not calculate the direction of the wind?
The current Jiang Feng is welcoming the Wu army.
With the help of the wind, the fire ships moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they hit the front row of Wu Jun one after another.
Rumblings were heard everywhere, and as the two ships collided, fire burst out from the bows, spraying fire oil, and the fire followed the oil stains, instantly burning the opposing warships and forming a single piece.
This wasn't over yet. On the Qin army's side, on the tall warships, trebuchets had already been launched. Each oil tank drew an arc in the air and smashed into the Wu army in a chaotic manner.
Because the water area is narrow and warships are densely packed, the accuracy is much higher than before.
Some smashed into the hull and exploded. As soon as the oil stains dispersed, the fire snakes spread instantly.
Of course, there were also many that crashed into the river and caused splashes of water, but these were no longer relevant.
"Arrow array preparation——"
When General Qin shouted, countless soldiers took out the rockets they had prepared, lit them in the fire ditch in front of them, filled them up, and pointed them diagonally upward.
"put--"
With a command, arrows filled the sky, like fire rain, sweeping in.
Plop, plop!
Countless flaming arrows were nailed to various parts of the warship.
The oil tank ejection never stopped.
The arrow is on fire and is stained with kerosene, as you can imagine!
In just an instant, Wu Jun's warship was no longer just on fire in the front row, but a large area, a large area, and fire everywhere.
And the fire takes advantage of the wind, and the less it is, the greater it is.
"Quick! Put out the fire! Put out the fire——"
"Retreat quickly——"
The Wu army was in chaos. Some generals were shouting to put out the fire, and some were giving orders to retreat.
As for Sergeant Wu, he had already panicked. Soldiers could be seen running around on every warship. Countless people were covered in flames and howling miserably. Many others were forced to jump in with a thud. In the middle of the river.
Looking at this scene, Huangfu Yuqi's eyes were filled with fire, and his face was full of disbelief.
The general was already panicking and kept saying: "This, this, this, general, what should we do?"
"Quickly send the order! Retreat to the camp! Retreat quickly!" Huangfu Yuqi shouted sharply when he came to his senses.
But he has already entered the circle of annihilation. If he wants to retreat now, how is it possible?
The order had just been issued, and before the rear team could change to the front team, urgent news came:
"No, General! Enemy troops suddenly appeared on my left rear, blocking the way..."
"General! A large number of warships appeared on the right side of our army..."
Listening to these military reports, Huangfu Yuqi's eyes almost burst, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The King of Qin is treacherous! Lure me deeper! Fight with them!"
He knew in his heart that the way back was blocked, and under this kind of fire attack, there was no time left, and he was determined to defeat the enemy.
Under his order, the other warships of the Wu army that were not burned started to move together, desperately ramming the ships in front, and headed straight towards the Qin army.
This move of his had already been planned by Xiao Yuan. Upon seeing this, he calmly waved his right hand.
Another row of clippers drove out, lit up again, and rushed towards Wu Jun.
The wind was in Qin's favor, and it was the Clippers. The speeds of the two sides were not at the same level. Wu Jun's side had just rowed in, and the second round of collision came again.
Huangfu Yuqi's commanding position was also shaken by the rumbling sound. He shook a few times before he regained his balance. Before he could continue to give orders, an oil jar fell from the sky and hit the deck with a bang.
The fire oil splashed out, followed by arrows like a rain of fire.
"Protect the general quickly!"
The general yelled and even protected Huangfu Yuqi, and hurriedly got off the bow.
Looking down from a high altitude, the entire battlefield looks like an alley. The front is blocked by the Qin army, and the back is also blocked.
In the middle, there were countless warships of the Wu army, forming a sea of fire.
In this case, Huangfu Yuqi either died in the river or was swallowed by the sea of fire, with no possibility of reversal.
Looking at the raging fire and the burning men running around on the warship, Xiao Yuan said quietly:
"Gu, it has been more than a year since the Southern Expedition. Today, after the battle, we can finally cross the Yangtze River..."
On the other side, the Wu Jun Navy Camp.
When Huangfu Yuqi left, he left 20,000 troops behind. Originally, his intention was to humiliate Pei Zong and make him wait for his return after a great victory.
But I never expected that these 20,000 people would become Wu Jun's last hope.
At this time, the news that our main force had won the decisive battle and was pursuing King Qin had been sent back by spies.
After learning about this situation, Xiang Mo couldn't help but said: "Huh, that kid is so arrogant, I didn't expect him to actually defeat the Qin army!"
"General Xiang Mo is happy too early!" Pei Zong's eyes widened and he said sadly: "Huangfu Yuqi is too eager to win! How can King Qin be defeated so easily! This rash pursuit will definitely fall into a trap. !”
ah? Hearing what he said, Xiang Mo was also shocked and said in a solemn voice: "What the old general means is that the Qin army's tragic defeat in the decisive battle was deliberately done by the King of Qin?"
"That must be the case!" Pei Zong said decisively, "And now, my camp is also in danger!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a Wu Jun hurried in.
"Report~~~~~"
"General, a large number of enemy speedboats have appeared on the Yangtze River and are heading towards our camp!"
