1623. Chapter 1623: How Will He Choose?

I knew that Wen Ruyu would not be so simple!

Even if the onlookers on this ship were stunned, all the people who had been cheering when they saw the arrival of the Jinling sailors were silent at this moment.

The ship, in the midst of the surrounding noise, was as quiet as a cicada.

Pei Yuanxiu waved his hand, and those people pushed his chair out again, and he watched the scene from the bow of the boat, although he didn't immediately show a look of frustration, or a rage of defeat, but I watched the folds of his eyebrows get deeper and deeper.

Obviously, even if everyone is prepared for war, such an outcome will not be what he wants to see.

Moreover, he had been to Xichuan a few years ago, and he had a general understanding of the distribution of troops here, and he also knew very well that Xichuan had not trained a naval army, so he would be so relieved and bold to send his own people to attack Jiangling, but he didn't expect to encounter such a tricky war and such a tricky person!

At this time, a familiar gaze fell on me, and when I raised my eyes, Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at me, with a little heavy coldness in his eyes, and said, "Xichuan, it's a lot of Junjie." ”

“……”

"I didn't expect that there are so many talents under your hands."

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but shudder slightly.

Under my hands?

No, it's not me, these people don't belong to me, and this victory in front of me doesn't belong to me.

It's Liu Qinghan's.

This qiē was all arranged by him.

If it weren't for him, he would have seen through the overall situation early in the morning and began to prepare for war in Xichuan, and hid from everyone to train the navy in Bishan; If it weren't for him, regardless of the taboo of cronyism, he boldly used the little-known Zhao Yuncheng, and used people without suspicion, and reused Wen Ruyu, who had no intimate relationship with him, who was not suspicious - maybe today, he could really only watch his own people being beaten!

This victory in front of him belongs to him.

But now, where is he?

The thought of him makes my breath heavier.

Feeling that my mind was in a trance, Pei Yuanxiu's eyebrows frowned again, and his eyes became hot. He slowly turned his head to look ahead.

Time is passing little by little.

The clouds above me had not yet cleared, and I was thinking in my mind that it was past time.

Not to mention those who were fighting, even when I stood at the bow of the ship, I felt cold and very tired.

Although the appearance of Wen Ruyu's three warships broke the other party's purpose of wanting to immediately land on the shore to participate in the battle on the riverbank, but in fact, Wen Ruyu's men and horses were not many, he only trained the first naval army, and now almost all of them have been used, plus such a whole day of fighting, the other party has naturally been defeated, but in fact, their own consumption is also very large.

At this moment, the river was in a mess, the overturned boats, the soldiers who kept fluttering in the water and calling for help, the whole water area seemed to be boiling.

Seeing that everyone on the Jinling side was overturned on their backs, and there was no longer the ability to resist, this one was finally a complete victory.

Han Zitong looked at the scene in front of him, probably gritted his teeth so much that his teeth hurt, stomped his foot hard, and then turned to Pei Yuanxiu and said, "What should we do?" ”

“……”

"Yuan Xiu, you have to think of a way!"

“……”

"We can't just be that familiar."

“……”

Pei Yuanxiu was just silent, looking at the last bit of confrontation between the two sides, in fact, they had already reached the end of the crossbow, at this time he raised his hand and moved his fingers, and the attendant behind him immediately walked to his side and bent down: "Childe." ”

"Mingjin retreats."

“…… Be. ”

The man was also stunned for a moment, but went down without saying anything, and Han Zitong immediately became anxious: "Yuan Xiu!" ”

Pei Yuanxiu still didn't look at her, just looked at the miserable scene on the river lightly, Han Zitong was so anxious that he even changed his voice: "Yuanxiu, should we just give up like this?" ”

“……”

"Yuan Xiu ......!"

She looked at Pei Yuanxiu anxiously, but at this time, there was already a rapid sound of cymbals around her.

As soon as they heard this voice, those who were still making the last resistance stopped one after another, and the few remaining boats hurriedly retreated.

The three warships stood in the middle of the river, and soon, the leading ship also remembered the sound of Mingjin withdrawing his troops.

This battle, there was no smoke and fire of gunpowder and fire, swords and swords that I saw in Nian Baoyu in Dongzhou before, and there was no tragic scene of corpses all over the field and rivers of blood, but I know that this battle is actually much more tragic than those few times, those who fell into the water did not have time to board the boat and be rescued, almost all of them were swallowed up by the turbulent river, and the corpses went down the river.

At this time, Mingjin withdrew his troops, but it was actually too late.

I glanced down at Pei Yuanxiu again, there were a few hanging needle lines hanging from his eyebrows, looking straight ahead, I thought he was looking at Wen Ruyu and their warship, but after a while, I realized that he was looking in a farther direction, the high warship that belonged to him, from Jinling.

Those warships, because of their large connections, basically did not play any role in these waters.

Han Zitong also realized his gaze, looked up at the huge warship, and said hatefully: "What a useless thing!" ”

As both sides retreated, Wen Ruyu's warship slowly began to retreat.

And the huge ships from Jinling were also moving slowly, I thought they were going to retreat, but after waiting for a while, I realized that something was wrong.

Instead of retreating, they slowly split into two teams and retreated to both sides of the river.

What's going on?

Is that where they are going to be stationed?

I felt that something was wrong, and the hand that was originally holding the wind on my chest was about to be released, but at this time, I subconsciously clenched it again, and hurriedly stepped forward, and sure enough, I saw that the big ships had moved a lot of distance to both sides, and there was a large gap in the center of the river.

It's-

At this moment, I heard Han Zitong behind me gasp.

When you look closely, there is a fleet behind those big ships!

It's all warships!

Before, the big ships were across the river, and the mist was so thick that they couldn't see any farther, but now the ships withdrew on both sides, and it was as if they had entered a huge stage through an alley.

My heart jumped suddenly, and I hurriedly turned my head, and I saw Pei Yuanxiu still sitting quietly in the chair, but the corners of his lips that had been pursed slightly curled slightly.

This is what they really do today?!

My voice was a little hoarse: "You guys, you've already withdrawn your troops!" ”

He raised his head to look at me, and said lightly: "Soldier, treacherous." ”

My voice was a little hoarse: "You guys, you've already withdrawn your troops!" ”

He raised his head to look at me, and said lightly: "Soldier, treacherous." ”

After listening to him say this, my heart sank, and at this time, the atmosphere on the whole river also changed, Wen Ruyu's army, which had just experienced a big battle, had already withdrawn its troops, and they were all a little relaxed, and suddenly saw that after those huge ships, there was a fleet of such warships, although the hull was much smaller than those big ships, but it was not a problem to cross this water.

Right now, what they have to fight is an army that is much larger than their own, and they have been waiting for their work!

Although I couldn't see the expressions and reactions of the people on the boat from such a distance, I could almost understand their mood at the moment from my own mood.

Pei Yuanxiu, he is really too scheming!

I knew that he valued Gangneung very much, and he also valued Xichuan, so he personally entered Jiangling, and personally supervised the battle when he left, but I didn't expect him to requisition so many troops from Jinling, it seems that he is really determined to take Gangneung!

And on my side-

My brow furrowed.

Although Wen Ruyu's combat power is not bad, which has been confirmed in today's battle, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

He doesn't have enough men!

He came to Gantang Village to report on his work, that is, to tell me that he had completed the training of the first naval army, and according to his and Liu Qinghan's plan, the training of the subsequent naval army driven by the first naval army would be much faster, as long as he was given even half a year, the Xichuan naval army would be able to march out of the Sanjiangkou and control Jinling.

But what he didn't expect was that Pei Yuanxiu advanced all the qiē.

Not only did he advance the battle situation on this side, but even in this battle, what he used was no longer a "tricky" art of war.

The soldiers who participated in the war before were actually not used to fight at all, but to set this "trap" to consume the opponent's combat power, and even after those people fell into the water, those big ships did not have the intention of coming forward to rescue, it turned out that we were afraid that we would see that after them, there was such a fleet!

At this moment, my breathing tensed.

Not only did I not calculate this step, I think even Wen Ruyu, even Zhao Yuncheng, didn't expect that he would use such a method to seize Jiangling!

Seeing that the fleet was moving at full speed, it was already close to the riverbank, and Wen Ruyu's boat didn't make any moves for a while.

I clung to the fence and frowned, watching the scene in front of me.

At the moment, I have no way to give him any orders, and he can't get any news from Zhao Yuncheng's side, so I can only depend on his choice at the moment.

There are only two paths in front of him.

One is to continue fighting.

However, they have been fighting with each other for a whole day, and in the face of such an army that is waiting for work, there is almost no chance of victory, if they want to fight hard, they are afraid that the only naval army in Xichuan will fold here.

But, if he gives up—

Jiangling will fall into the hands of Pei Yuanxiu!

Wen Ruyu, what choice will he make?
