Creek mouth.

Wu general Meng Ben had already gathered a group of soldiers and stood on the shore waiting, when suddenly a soldier came to report quickly.

"General, the Chu Junzhou Division has been lured over!"

"I see."

Meng Ben bowed slightly.

At this moment, his mood was the same as that of the nearby Wu soldiers, quite heavy!

On the riverside were twenty small boats, on which were placed flammable hay, dead wood, and grease, and a full boat, with a burning torch stuck in the bow.

Forty Wu soldiers, two people and a small boat, were responsible for driving the burning ships to pounce on the warships of the Chu army!

Their task is undoubtedly daunting, and they will die for the rest of their lives.

These forty soldiers are all carefully selected by Meng Ben, who are familiar with water and are vigorous.

Despite the suicidal charge, there was no fear on each of their faces.

"Bring the wine!"

"Full!"

Meng Ben waved his hand, and immediately a team of soldiers stepped forward with wine urns and poured wine into the clay bowls in the hands of Meng Ben and the warriors of the death squad.

Looking at the slightly cloudy wine in the bowl, and then at the Wu army warriors who looked like they were at home with death on the other side, Meng Ben's face was very solemn.

He immediately raised the wine bowl in his hand and said loudly: "Gentlemen, my warriors of Great Wu, magnificent! ”

"This battle is very important for my Great Wu National Fortune, and it is not allowed to be defeated!"

"Second and third sons, don't worry! Your parents, wives and children, neighbors and neighbors, will be proud of what you have done today! ”

"The king's edict decrees that your warriors, regardless of life or death, after the war, their families can receive ten acres of fertile land, twenty horses of cloth, and one ploughing ox, hoping that the second and third sons can have no scruples and fight bravely to kill the enemy!"

Hearing this, a group of warriors of the Wu army raised their bowls and shouted: "Ten thousand years of the king!" Great Wu Wannian! ”

"Second and third sons, please drink a full bowl with me! Dry! ”

"!"

Meng Ben and these forty sharps immediately "gurgled" and drank a bowl of wine.

"Smack!"

Then they all threw the bowl to the ground.

"Let's go!"

Meng Ben glanced at these warriors one last longer, looked at their faces full of determination, and then waved his hand and gave the order to set off.

At the same time, Qingji had already attracted the warships of the Chu army to Xikou, but his own situation was very dangerous!

"Kill!"

More and more Chu warships approached the building ship where Qingji was, and countless winglets, middle wings, and bridge ships set up long ladders, just like a siege battle, and the stubborn Chu soldiers rushed up to the building ship without fear of death.

The soldiers of the Wu army on the ship could only release a burst of arrows to shoot this group of enemies who were as excited as chicken blood!

"Poof!"

"Ahh

Before many Chu soldiers boarded the boat, they had already been hit by several arrows, and then fell headlong, like a kite with a broken string, and fell into the river.

Thankfully, the conditions for water warfare in this era were limited, not to mention artillery, not even heavy offensive weapons such as trebuchets.

The only long-range offensive weapon a ship can use is arrows!

"Huh!"

Qing Ji once again waved the Long Yuan Sword in his hand, sealed his throat with a sword, and killed a Chu soldier.

The dripping blood stained his resolute face red!

More Chu soldiers roared, waved their weapons, and pounced on Qingji with red eyes.

In their eyes, Qingji has become a fragrant dumpling, and everyone wants to rush up and take a bite!

It's just that with Qingji's superb force value, no one can hurt him at all.

"King! Behind it is the Xikou Waterway! Let's take a bridge boat and evacuate! ”

A subordinate general beside him suddenly said in a loud voice.

"Withdraw!"

Qingji did not hesitate, and immediately got off the boat downstairs surrounded by a group of guards, and boarded a bridge boat to prepare to evacuate.

But how could Shen Yinshu tolerate a duck with a beak flying away?

"Rush forward! Shoot the arrows! ”

"Kill Qingji!"

Shen Yinshu immediately issued an order, allowing the nearby Chu warships to move closer to the bridge ship where Qingji was, and threw out rounds of arrow raindown.

"Protect the King!"

"Quick! Shield! ”

The guards were startled, and hurriedly grabbed the giant shield on one side and blocked the surroundings of Qingji.

"Snatch and snatch!"

"Poof!"

In a hurry, the shield array like a turtle shell was shot full of arrows, like hedgehogs, and a few unlucky guards were caught off guard, and were hit by the powerful arrows shot by the Chu army, and blood foam flew everywhere.

The soldiers on the bridge boat hurriedly paddled their oars, trying to escape the waters as quickly as possible.

The warships of the Wu army in the vicinity also formed a line of defense to escort Qingji away.

Not far away, there was a long and narrow waterway that could not be passed by large warships, and only small warships such as mid-wing, winglet, and bridge ships could pass unimpeded.

The bridge boat where Qingji was located quickly passed through the waterway.

And when he saw Shen Yinshu in this waterway, he felt bad in his heart!

Could it be that the Wu army set up an ambush here?

Shen Yinshu hesitated and wanted to order a retreat, but it was too late!

I saw twenty small boats rushing on the opposite side, small boats full of flammable materials!

"Stop the pursuit!"

Shen Yinshu immediately ordered.

At this time, there were already a lot of Chu army warships chasing Qingji's bridge boat into the waterway, but a large number of black heads suddenly appeared on both sides of the waterway, all of which were scarlet suits and flags!

It is the Wu army that has been in ambush for a long time!

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Meng Ben's order, on the side of the Wu army's phalanx, round after round of rockets suddenly rose into the sky, and then fell densely towards the Chu army's warship!

Shen Yinshu asked himself, he had never seen such a sassy operation after so many years of marching and fighting!

"Poof!"

"Uhhh

The rockets that were like locusts crossing the border shot down, instantly killing and injuring many Chu soldiers who were caught off guard, and even causing the warship to burst into flames, which were about to spread.

The Wu warships, which were still fleeing, immediately turned their bows and formed a defensive line to lock the direction of the waterway and prevent the Chu army's warships from pursuing further.

What surprised Shen Yinshu and other Chu army generals even more was that the twenty small boats full of flammable materials actually crashed directly into their own warships!

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

Realizing that something was wrong, the Chu army immediately drew their bows and arrows, trying to shoot these enemies and prevent the small boat group from continuing to approach.

"Ignition!"

Wu pawn on the small boat immediately threw the torch on the flammable materials covered with hay, dead wood, grease and other flammable materials, and then raised his shield and rushed towards the enemy warship with the paddlers protecting the rowing boat.

"Snatch and snatch!"

The arrows fired by the Chu army were all over half of the dome, from top to bottom, filling one small boat after another, and also shot several Wu pawns.

However, every time a pawn falls, another pawn will take the oars and continue rowing to pounce!

"Great Wu Kingdom, 10,000 years!"

"King, ten thousand years!"

The 10,000-year-old Wu pawn was hit by several arrows, but his eyes were still red, and he struggled to row the oars and crashed into the Chu army's warship!
