The Yuhuang is a "meritorious battleship", which once participated in many wars against Chu and Yue as the royal "Wang Zhou" of Wu Wang Lu and Fucha, and has a prominent reputation.

But this bulky building ship is a typical inland river warship. Due to its large size, it is slow and difficult to maneuver. Not at all suitable for use as a naval combat ship.

Seeing that the flagship was surrounded, the ships serving as escorts rushed desperately to try to break the siege of the Qi army and rescue the flagship.

But more Qi warships surrounded them, and the Qi army jumped on the Wu ship, and there was a fierce fight, and the soldiers on several frigates were all killed, and several empty ships were burning and floating on the sea.

The main general Xu Cheng resisted seasickness, his physical strength was still there, he was a general with high martial arts, and those ordinary Qi soldiers were his opponents. With a swing of the sword, he stabbed one, flew up and kicked one over, and knocked one down with a flick of his fist. In a blink of an eye, Xu Cheng killed dozens of enemies alone.

When those Wu soldiers saw that the main general showed their might, they were all brave, screaming wildly, and fighting tenaciously. The vast deck, which could accommodate hundreds of people to fight, was littered with corpses, and the shoes were wet with blood.

Suddenly, a cold arrow flew silently and hit Xu Cheng's shoulder blade, Xu Cheng stumbled and almost fell. He gritted his teeth, killed a Qi army, reached out and broke the shaft of the arrow, and with a flick of his sword, he cut the neck of a Qi army.

The Yuhuang ship is large, the ability to resist wind and waves is strong, the seasickness of the soldiers is not too serious, and the physical strength is better. Wu Yue people are not afraid of death, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become. But under the heavy siege of the Qi army, the Qi army was killed and a group came up, while the Wu army on the ship fought less and less.

Suddenly, a spear grazed Xu Cheng's thigh, leaving a deep wound. The blood flowed like an infusion. Xu Cheng snorted and fell.

"General!" A few Wu soldiers pounced.

Xu Chengyi waved his hand: "Leave me alone, pay attention to the back!" ”

The Qi army surrounded them from all sides, and those Wu soldiers really couldn't take care of Xu Cheng, so they turned around and fought one by one.

Xu Chengyi gritted his teeth and stood up, he only had one leg to be strong, and one arm could move. He took a breath, he had to fix his teeth and stand still, as long as the Qi army attacked, he could still kill the enemy with one move.

But if it continues like this, the result is already certain, Xu Chengli will fall down and will be chopped into meat puree.

A Qi army attacked with a spear, Xu Chengbao's sword hit the spear shaft, and the Qi army rushed forward two steps, Xu Chengbao sword waved, cutting his neck, Qi Jun fell, and a cloud of blood mist erupted from his neck!

Xu Cheng's body shook, and he immediately stood still with a stake, and let out a long roar: "King, Xu Cheng is sorry for you!"

Suddenly, a speedboat rushed over silently, jumped up twenty or thirty Wu soldiers, and slaughtered wildly, all the torches on the Yuhuang were extinguished, and the ship immediately fell into a state of indistinguishability between friend and foe.

Several Wu soldiers rushed over and raised Xu Cheng: "General, don't make a noise, let's go!" ”

Several people carried Xu Cheng, jumped on the speedboat, and quietly left the Yuhuang.

Xu Cheng said: "Brothers, I can't go, the Yuhuang number fell into the hands of the Qi army, and I have no shame to see the first king after I die." ”

The soldier said: "General, we can't take care of the Yuhuang anymore, we protect the general to break out of the encirclement, which can be regarded as God's blessing." ”

Xu Cheng said: "The soldiers are still fighting bloodily, and I, Xu Cheng, should die in Langyatai with my brothers." ”

The soldier said: "General, the general trend has gone, and even if you die in Langyatai, it will not help." ”

A soldier pierced Xu Cheng's thigh, and excessive blood loss made Xu Cheng dizzy for a while, and he sighed sadly: "God don't bless me!" ”

In fact, God is not to blame for this defeat. Rather, it is the failure of the decision-making error. The Wu army should not have fought this naval battle at all, because the Wu army's naval division was not in the conditions to fight this naval battle at all. Later generations have summarized several reasons for this naval battle.

First of all, Wu Jun was not familiar with naval warfare, had never fought at sea, and had never trained at sea. Although Wu's naval division was invincible inland, it was not the same thing as naval warfare. Secondly, the ships of the Wu army's naval division were inferior to those of the Qi state. Also, the Wu army sailors did not adapt to the northern climate, and in the end, the Wu army sailors ran long distances, which were already very tired, coupled with seasickness, they basically lost their combat effectiveness.

If such a battle can be won, it will be unreasonable.

At this time, the battle was still raging. The drums of the Qi army are still ringing in the mountains, and the sound of shouting and killing is still like a raging storm. Twenty or thirty miles of sea, there are countless ships floating around, and fierce battles are still going on on each boat.

After all, it will take time to kill all 20,000 sailors, and it will also require the Qi army to pay the price of casualties.

The Wu fleet lost most of its losses, and its soldiers suffered numerous casualties. The sea was covered with the wreckage of the Wu army's battleships that were still burning and smoking, as well as the corpses of countless soldiers, some of the Wu army, some of the Qi army, and more of the Wu army.

The wind was still blowing, the sea was choppy, and the wreckage of the battleship and the corpses of the soldiers were washed up by the tide to the nearby beach, where they piled up.

The sea water was stained crimson with the blood of the soldiers. The Langya Sea has become a real "corpse mountain and blood sea"!

The speedboat carried Xu Cheng and twenty or thirty Wu army sailors, specifically looking for places where the light of the torches was very weak. When you encounter a ship that is fighting in front of you, turn around and avoid it. When they encountered a Qi warship approaching on the opposite side, dozens of people lay down in the cabin and did not move, pretending to be an unmanned ship drifting.

Just like that, he stopped and stopped, and slowly escaped from the encirclement of the Qi army. By this time, it was already dark. The speedboat had left the battlefield several miles away. Xu Cheng asked the soldiers to help him sit up, looked back at the battlefield, and saw from a distance that the smoke was rising from the battlefield, and it seemed that the sound of shouting and killing could be heard.

Tears fell in Xu Cheng's eyes: "Xu Cheng is incompetent, 20,000 water masters, it's over like this, Xu Cheng is ashamed of the king, ashamed of the three Wu fathers, I have no face to live." As he spoke, he drew his sword and wiped his neck.

Several soldiers hurriedly blocked: "Don't, adult, we finally rescued you." If death can save the defeat, we are all willing to die. ”

This movement touched the wound, and Xu Cheng snorted in pain. I almost passed out. The soldier hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, lie down." ”

A grassroots officer said: "Subordinate Zhimin, protect the adults and find a place to recuperate." ”

Xu Cheng said: "Brother Zhimin, how many people are on this ship?" ”

Ji Min counted and said, "Including adults, we still have twenty-eight people. ”

Xu Cheng's expression was gloomy and he said, "Of the 20,000 sailors, there are only 28 of us left. God......"

Jimin said, "Don't be sad, adults. It's a miracle that we made it out alive. Now we are not far from the battlefield, and if we are discovered by the Qi army, we will not be able to escape. Brothers cheer up and stay away from the battlefield. ”

The speedboat accelerated through the waves, and soon moved away from the battlefield, only to see a truncated mast peeking out of the sea level.

Xu Cheng said: "Check the fresh water and grain and grass. ”

After a while, the soldier reported: "Fresh water and food and grass are sufficient, and there is no problem in living for a month." ”。

Jimin said, "Let's find a secluded place to heal your wounds, and send a few brothers ashore to report this to the king. ”

"Brother, you can arrange it." Xu Cheng said weakly.
