Xia Suiyang personally went down, tied up the salvaged Xu Youhuada, and dragged it upside down to the boat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Aren't you dead yet?" Shi Dang leaned slightly sideways, blocking his way, and frowned softly.

"No," Xia Suiyang shook his head and said, "Looking at this guy's appearance of a tuberculosis ghost, I can't imagine that his life is really hard." ”

Shi Dang stopped talking, but made a gesture that was faintly detectable.

Xia Suiyang said with regret: "It's a pity. But he was not slow in his hand, only to see two cold lights flashing, and he had already put his sword back into its sheath.

And the pair of bound wrists had been cut through a two-inch-long wound, but there was no blood gushing out as Shi Dare imagined.

Seeing Shi Dang's inquiring eyes, Xia Suiyang said in a low voice: "The tendons are broken." ”

"And hamstrings." Dropping a cold sentence, Shi Dang turned around and walked up to the command platform and reported to the prince: "The assassin has brought." ”

"Bring it with you." Qin Lei said lightly.

When Xia Suiyang lifted up the discarded archer, the man had already woken up in pain, lying on the ground softly, completely unconscious of his hands and feet.

"Lift his head up." Qin Lei sat down on a stool and said.

Xia Suiyang pulled the man's hair, and a miserable white face was raised. Qin Lei saw that it was indeed Xu You, who had a 'relationship' with him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said brother, you are really ghostly." ”

"It's a pity that it fell short." Xu You said with a calm face, as if he didn't feel pain at all: "I'm curious, how did you dodge my arrow?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Qin Lei smiled and said, "Because Lone is very afraid of you." ”

"Afraid of me?" Xu You's flat face finally showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Because I'm afraid of you, I'm impressed by your voice." Qin Lei coughed a few times like him: "As soon as I heard this unique coughing sound, I reflexively lay down. ”

Xu You looked incredulous, and said in his heart: 'How can you hear my coughing on such a chaotic battlefield? ’

Seeing whether Xu You believed it or not, Qin Lei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Believe it or not." In fact, this is half-true, Xu You is his heart is not bad, but if it weren't for the death of Marshal Bo Xian's arrow, he was given a hint to be always vigilant against the dark arrows shooting from all sides, and only then did he discover the unusual on the red horse boat, I am afraid that he would not be able to avoid this fatal blow.

Of course, he was as wise and wise as King Wu Cheng, and he would not admit that he was just guessing, so he lay on the ground quickly.

"Why did you kill me several times?" Qin Lei asked, "Is it just for money?" ”

"Don't pretend to be serious!" Xu You's expression suddenly became hideous, and he roared sharply: "You killed my sister, of course I have to avenge her!" ”

"Who is your sister?" Qin Lei was confused.

Hou Xin, who was standing on the side, hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered: "After this kid shot Yu Qian to death that time, the prince ordered to kill his entire family, and we only found one of his sisters, so we killed him." ”

Qin Lei was silent, looked at Xu You and said softly: "In this way, you have a reason to kill me." As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids and said, "But I also have a reason to kill you." After speaking, he got up and returned to the cabin, and Xu You, who was behind him, was just about to scold, but he was pierced through the chest by a sharp blade, and then thrown into the lake.

The black-clothed guard washed away the blood on the deck with clean water, and there was no trace left.

On the second day, the fog on the river was thick and the visibility was very poor, but Zhu Lie still resolutely chose to go to war, knowing from his experience that as soon as the sun came out, the fog would dissipate.

But everything that happened yesterday made the morale of the Chu army a little low. It's not that the suffocating sneak attack failed, and in fact few people understand what happened yesterday. They were frightened by the endless mysterious weapons of the Qin army, not to mention those ghost things that can make the battleship explode inexplicably, just those fire dragons out of the water, the range is farther than the catapult, and wherever it hits, it is a sea of fire, how can people play?

Zhu Hongjun told his soldiers that although the Qin army's 'fire dragon out of the water' was very dynamic and the effect was full of bluffing, it was actually only effective for small boats. For the three-story battleship they were riding, the effect of causing a bunch of fire was not as great as the damage caused by the fire oil bomb.

The officers and men will be skeptical, but their fear will be slightly reduced. It just so happened that at this time, a flock of white waterfowl flew over the fleet, and Zhu Lie immediately compared it to a symbol of good luck, and the officers and men regained their confidence.

He took advantage of the fog to lead his army from the west bank back to the back of the Qin army. When the morning sun rose, the thick fog on the lake really dissipated, revealing the shadows of the warships of the two armies. The Chu army had already completed the pre-war grouping, and nearly a thousand ships, large and small, were divided into three sub-fleets, which completely blocked the retreat of the Qin army in a semicircle.

The Qin fleet was adjusting its deployment almost at the same time. Yang Wenyu, who was pinned on by Marshal Bo Xian, but did not say a word the day before and let the navy play freely, finally began to give orders by the prestige of King Wucheng...... In fact, he had no choice but to do it, after all, he had been away from the Zhennan Army for more than ten years, and with that prestige in the past, it was still a question of whether he could mobilize the troops. Therefore, he refused to be the commander, and calmly pulled the tiger skin to make a banner on the king's ship, and commanded the decisive battle with the martyrs.

The reason why he was silent yesterday was because he wanted to tell the four generals that without unified command and strict execution, no matter how good the battleship was and how high the fighting spirit was, it would not be possible to win the battle.

Sure enough, today, Chu Po, Chu Luo, Qin Youcai, and Qin Youde each led a detachment of fleets and obediently obeyed his dispatch.

Yang Wenyu ordered the fleet to be arranged in a huge crescent shape, and the two spires of the crescent moon pressed against the two wings of the Chu fleet. He put Qin Youcai's detachment in the middle, the Chu brothers were separated from the left and right, and the Qin Youde detachment, which had been damaged in yesterday's battle, was arranged behind the formation as a reserve, ready to support the front at any time.

After yesterday's battle, the morale of the Qin army was extremely high, and they all believed that with those magical weapons, Great Qin would definitely win.

Without any temptation, the fleets of both sides approached on all fronts. Yang Wenyu was surprised to find that the more than fifty super warships of the Central Fleet of the Chu State were much larger than any of the ships of the Qin army. Each one is five stories high, with four sets of huge slapsticks, wrapped in cowhide iron armor above the waterline, and all kinds of rolling stone sassers and wooden catapults, which are big killing weapons that can be far and near.

These ships did not show up in yesterday's battle, they were obviously cleverly hidden by Zhu Lie, and at this moment they were finally taken out as the last hole card!

Seeing that those huge ships were like majestic water fortresses, rushing over with a strict lineup, this made the Qin soldiers feel a little furious. The three generals suggested that the fleet retreat, pull up the formation of the Chu ship's pursuit, and then look for a gap to kill a return rifle.

But Yang Wenyu didn't say a word, and ordered an immediate attack. When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, how can they retreat without a fight?

Since the two armies of Qin and Chu were divided into three ** sub-fleets, there was still a certain distance between the sub-fleets, so the big battle started on the three battlefields respectively.

The right flank of the Qin army and the left flank of the Chu army were the first to exchange fire. As soon as the left wing of the Chu army entered the range of the right flank of the Qin army, countless 'fire dragons out of the water' bombarded it. The officers and soldiers of Chu looked at it, and sure enough, as Shangzhuguo said, these things could not hurt the strong capital ships of the Chu army, but Shangzhuguo didn't say anything...... These things hurt people, but they don't distinguish between big and small boats.

I saw that every fire dragon landed on the Chu ship, it would explode a dazzling fire ball, and in the explosion, the officers and soldiers within a zhang of the surrounding area were killed, and the lethality was very amazing. The deck of the Chu army began to be chaotic, and the officers and soldiers hid behind the shelter, lest they be killed by these flying fire dragons.

Such a powerful firepower was far beyond the expectations of the commander of the Chu army, and he hurriedly ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed, and when it came into the range of the slingers, he couldn't wait to blow the whistle for firing. Here I have to admire the Chu State Naval Army, although the fire dragon of the Qin army is still raging, but as soon as they heard the whistle, they still did not hesitate to start preparing to launch, the front one fell, and the back one immediately made up for it, and finally launched a counterattack with the fastest speed.

The best defense is to attack, when all the scattered shells of the Chu State fell on the Qin warship, the Qin army's offensive was stagnant, and many soldiers who stood on the side of the ship to launch the 'fire dragon out of the water' were stoned to death on the spot, and as a result, the rockets that had been ignited flipped over and ran around on the Qin army's ship, injuring countless people. Only then did the Qin army realize that it had entered the range of the catapult, and immediately switched to using the catapult to return fire.

If you want to kill and injure enemy ships, you have to use those big stone bumps weighing tens or even hundreds of pounds.

The two armies began to shoot fiercely, according to the convention, the next thing is to compare whose artillery is enough, whose power is greater, but the right fleet of the Qin army commanded by Chu Po gave up the slightly advantageous long-range shot, and as soon as the flag waved, the fleet quickly approached the Chu army.

The left flank fleet of the Chu army was not psychologically prepared for a broadside battle, so they had to fight and retreat as much as possible, trying not to contact the Qin army, and unconsciously approached the shallow shoal with many shallow reefs.

The retreat here was premeditated, because the main force of the Chu army's left flank fleet was the Dongting Lake water army, and they were even confident that every reef and shoal here would allow the enemy to run aground here.
