After boosting his morale, Gou Jian led 5,000 Vietnamese troops to Yongpu the next day, where he would cross the river and return to the Yue Kingdom. The boat division of the Vietnamese army also prepared for crossing the river, and the generals led by Lieutenant General Chen Yin greeted Gou Jian's arrival at Yongpu Wharf.

After Chen Yin and the others received the soldier's report, not long after, the gilded military chariot carrying Gou Jian had already arrived at the dock. Chen Yin and more than a dozen other generals took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee in the direction of the military vehicle, beat their chests with their right hands and said, "Ministers, see the Lord!" ”

A soldier ran to the side of the troop and knelt down, his hands on the ground. Gou Jian stepped on the back of the soldier and got out of the carriage, looked at the respectful Chen Yin and the others, and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, let's get up for the widow!" Now is not the time for red tape. ”

"Yes!" Chen Yin and the others responded and stood up.

Chen Yin stepped out of the queue and made a gesture of please: "Lord, please here!" ”

Gou Jian nodded, and instructed Dazai Kucheng, who was on the road with him: "Dazai, please go and arrange for the soldiers to get on the ship!" ”

"The lord is polite, this is just the duty of the minister!" Kucheng said respectfully.

Gou Jian nodded, then turned around, and as he walked, he asked Chen Yin, "What has happened to the Han Manzi's boat master recently?" ”

Chen Yin said suspiciously: "This minister is also strange, but the Han barbarian is really like this." However, the minister thought that this was not impossible, although the Han barbarians inherited the boat division of the Wu army, they did not inherit it completely, but only inherited most of it. Second, many Wu generals were reluctant to work under Yang Zilu, and the minister heard that Xu Cheng, the former general of the Wu Army's Zhou Division, went to Chu to do things. ”

When Chen Yin said this, he looked at Gou Jian's face and saw that he was not dissatisfied, so he continued: "So the boat division of the Han barbarians, even if there are warships, there is no one to command, plus to transport food to Yang Zilu, it is not impossible that there are not enough warships to attack. Of course, it is also possible that the ministers will not be able to find out, because the Han barbarians dug a large lake in Jiuzi (now Wuhu City) as a camp for the boat master. It's only about 200 miles from here, and if the Han barbarians want to move, we will get the news a little late. ”

Gou Jian frowned when he heard this, and said, "Isn't it safe for the widow to cross the river now?" ”

Chen Yin shook his head and said confidently: "This is naturally not, it's not the minister's boasting, the minister has prepared twenty fireboats here, if the Han barbarians dare to come." The minister lined up these twenty fireboats, connected them in series with iron cables, lit them and went down the river, even if the Han barbarians sent big ships to risk death to ram the fireboats, they could not rush away. At that time, even if the Han barbarians came with a hundred warships, when the time came, they would only burn a few more! ”

Gou Jian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Chen Yin's plan is really wonderful! ”

When Chen Yin heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the lord laughing, in fact, this plan was not thought up by the minister." ”

It was not surprising that Gou Jian heard this, although Chen Yin was brave, his wisdom was not very good, and it was impossible for him to come up with such a mysterious plan. The reason why Gou Jian didn't say it was because he was afraid of hurting Chen Yin's face. But now that Chen Yin himself has broken it, Gou Jian no longer pretends to be stupid, and asks curiously: "Who came up with such a thing for you." ”

"It's Dr. Fan." Chen Yin said abruptly.

When Gou Jian heard this, he showed an expression that was really like this, which made Chen Yin's face even redder.

At this moment, a loud horn sounded, Gou Jian and Chen Yin both turned pale, and at this moment, a soldier on the pole of the warship shouted down: "General, the beacon fire is ignited!" It's two beacons! It's the Han barbarian's boat master who has attacked! ”

When Chen Yin heard this, a flash of joy flashed on his face. Gou Jian's expression was also a lot more relaxed, as long as it wasn't for the army, it would be much easier. Gou Jian still had time to ask Chen Yin: "Why did the two beacon fires come from the boat master of the Han barbarians?" ”

Chen Yin also explained with a calm smile: "The minister is also afraid of the Han barbarians' army attacking, so the beacon tower has been ordered, lighting a beacon fire is the Han barbarian army's attack, two is the boat division's attack, and three is the attack of water and land." ”

When Gou Jian heard this, he said with some surprise: "It's really good, this should be something you came up with by Chen Yin, right?" ”

When Chen Yin heard this, he said a little proudly: "No, it's the minister who came up with it!" ”

Gou Jian laughed and said, "Not bad! Come, let the widow order the ship to be set on fire, and let the widow see what the sea of fire made of the Han barbarian warship is like1"

Chen Yin smiled, handed the order flag around his waist to Gou Jian, and taught: "Lord, you only need to hold this order flag high and wave it three times!" ”

"So it's that simple!" Gou Jian responded while doing what Chen Yin said.

This order is naturally not so simple, Gou Jian only issued the first step of the order, and then the soldiers on the pole waved a large flag and issued an order. The soldiers who were watching the flagship nearby, and when they saw the order, they immediately carried twenty fireboats out of the dock. The fireships were not large, they were made of small-wing warships, but the bow and stern were lined with bright flammable materials such as dry wood and sulfur, and it was conceivable that a single rocket could set these on fire.

Each fireship is flanked by an inferior iron chain the size of a child's arm, which connects the fireships to the left and right. Twenty fireboats were like a big iron cable, blocking the wide river. It seemed impossible for any ship to pass through their interception.

It is conceivable that if the fireship is ignited, the enemy will really have no escape, and even if he wants to rush away from the fireboat, it will be impossible to escape. As for escaping backwards, it is also unlikely, and it is easy to say that the small wing-class boat is small and flexible. But it is not so simple for the big ship of the mid-wing class to turn around, plus it is not a ship to turn around. As a result, they could not turn around, crowded on the surface of the river, unable to move.

Gou Jian had already seen the Han army struggling in the flames, screaming and wailing in pain. and Yang Zilu's painful expression after learning that the boat master he had worked so hard to set up was destroyed. The more he thought about it, the more excited Gou Jian became, and he couldn't even wait to see the arrival of the Han Army's boat division.

As if in response to Gou Jian's thoughts, Gou Jian's thoughts had just fallen, and at the end of the Yangtze River, there were warships lined up in battle formations. The high bow of the ship is like a high fighter, the bright red flag is waving in the wind, and the boat division of the Han army has not yet started the battle, and it is already imposing.

Gou Jian couldn't help but be secretly surprised, fortunately he had a favorable location here, otherwise it would be hard to fight, the Vietnamese army was not only the quantity of the warships, but also the quality was not as good as the opponent, but ...... Gou Jian turned his head to look at the fireship connected by iron cables, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled, revealing a smug smile. He said calmly: "Let the soldiers board the boat and cross the river!" Don't waste time with these barbarians who are about to accompany the Sea Dragon King! ”

"Yes!" Chen Yin also said confidently.

In their opinion, although the war has not yet begun, the victory or defeat has long been predestined.
