"Boom!"

When a full twenty small boats full of flammable materials collided with the Chu army's warship, the bottom of the tall and sturdy building ship immediately burst into flames, and the fire continued to spread!

The surviving soldiers of Wu immediately jumped into the water and slipped away as fast as a fish.

The officers and men of the Chu army on the warship were shocked by the bloody nature and the fierce spirit of the Wu army, and the deck was in a panic.

At this moment, behind the Chu army warship group, a large number of Wu army warships suddenly appeared, squeezing them firmly in this triangular water area that gradually became narrow.

"General, we've been tricked!"

Mi Ji, the deputy general of the Chu army on the side, shouted with a sad and angry face.

The matter has come to this point, and Shen Yinshu can't do anything!

Qingji, he is too cunning, and he is good at cheating!

Shen Yinshu had never encountered such a tricky enemy.

No wonder Qingji was able to defeat the invincible Lu!

"Withdraw! Kill it! ”

"Breakout!"

Shen Yinshu immediately made a decision and gave the order to retreat.

At this time, the boat division of the Chu army was already under siege, and it was dumpled by the Wu army's warships, and if it did not break through, it was impossible for the whole army to be annihilated!

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Whoosh!"

Round after round of rockets were projected past, killing a large number of Chu soldiers and soldiers, and causing considerable damage to their warships.

"Help!"

"Help me!"

A Chu soldier was burned to the ground as a "burning man", screaming like a headless fly, running around and finally falling into the water and turning into a charred corpse.

In desperation, the warships of the Chu army could only crash into the big wings and building ships of the Wu army, trying to fight their way out.

Qingji's strategic purpose is very simple, that is, to destroy the warships of the Chu army at all costs and cut off its way back!

No, whenever the warships of the Chu army rushed up, the warships of the Wu army always crashed into them without fear, and they all died together!

This tragic water battle, which lasted from morning to nightfall, ended in a great defeat for the Chu army.

In this battle, the Wu army was beheaded innumerable, but the Chu army warships destroyed were more than a thousand large and small!

Victory!

Qingji's strategic purpose has been achieved.

At least the defeated Chu army could only retreat to the area of the mouth of the river, set up camp, and rest.

Now, the boat division of the Chu army has been lost, most of the warships have been damaged, and the Wu army warships cruising on the river have blocked the way home.

……

Chu army camp, Chinese army tent.

Shen Yinshu was convening a group of disgraced generals to discuss the matter.

He looked at the generals standing on the left and right, dejected, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but his face still had that calm look.

"Second and third sons, this fiasco is the greatest defeat that my Great Chu has never had since the founding of the country!"

Shen Yinshu took a deep breath and said: "So far, our Chu army has lost more than 30,000 soldiers (including missing and captured) in front and back (including missing and captured), and the wounded are incalculable, and now thousands of warships have been lost in the First World War!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Shen Yinshu, have committed a lot of sin, and I am ashamed of the king, the state of Chu, and the ancestors of the great Chu!"

"But the war is not over yet. Our army is trapped at the mouth of the big river, and there is Wu Guozhou's division on the river, and our army has no ships to return to Chu, and water warfare is not possible. ”

Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but lower their heads and didn't dare to speak.

Mi Ji stood up and said with a look of self-reproach: "General, yesterday's defeat in the water battle was the fault of the last general. Please punish the general! ”

"Right Sima, now is not the time for accountability."

Shen Yinshu shook his head and said: "This water battle was defeated, and it was the responsibility of the general. No one would have thought that the Wu people would be so cunning and scheming! ”

"I just want to ask the second and third sons to discuss countermeasures together, can our army fight again? And how to fight? ”

Hearing this, a general immediately stepped forward and said: "General, although our Chu army has suffered several defeats and let Wu Manzi seize the opportunity, judging from the current situation, our army has 50,000 soldiers, and it can still be a battle." ”

"And the Wu army is no more than twenty or thirty thousand people, although it has the advantage of the boat division, but in a battle on land, why should our Chu army be afraid?"

"That's right! General, since there are few warships left in our army, and we can't go straight down to Wudu, why don't you attack the city all the way and go straight to Wudu? ”

Siege?

Shen Yinshu was very helpless.

If it were that simple, he wouldn't be as distressed as he is now!

"Second and third sons, it's not a secret, there is not much grain and grass left in the army, and at most it can only supply 50,000 horses and horses for ten days."

"Now that the Wu army has blocked the river with a boat division, and the domestic grain and grass cannot be transported, if the Wu army is strong and clear, and sticks to a few cities along the river, what can it do?"

"This ......"

Faced with this situation, all the generals of the Chu army couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

The problem of insufficient grain and baggage is indeed very tricky!

50,000 horses, people eat horses every day, that's an astronomical number.

If it was a few days ago, the Chu people could still rely on large ships to transport grain, and the grain and baggage were continuously transported to the front line.

But now, the Chu army has lost the right to control the river, and if it wants to obtain grain and grass, it can only use local materials.

Can Wu Ren agree?

Apparently not!

That's exactly what happened.

At the same time as sending the boat division to control the river, Qingji divided his troops to garrison the three cities along the river, Tongzi, and Weizi, built fortifications, and consolidated the city defense.

The Li Shu outside the city all dragged their families and took refuge in the city, and even chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock were taken away, and it was necessary to ensure that not a single grain of grain was left for the Chu army!

It is true that the strength of the Chu army is twice that of the Wu army, but in the case of losing the right to control the river and lacking grain and straw, it will not be able to become a climate!

Therefore, the Chu army is now in a dilemma.

In desperation, Shen Yinshu could only choose to bypass the fortified city of Luzi, and instead attack the two cities of Tong and Wei, trying to survive in a desperate situation.

……

When the two armies of Wu and Chu were fighting, Sun Wu's troops and horses, who were far away in the Wuyuan area, were also subjected to a large-scale attack by the Vietnamese army.

After He Lu bowed to the Yue Kingdom, Yun Chang personally led an army of more than 10,000 people, plus several thousand soldiers under the command of He Lu, about 20,000 soldiers and horses, trying to go north to attack Wudu.

Because his own soldiers and horses were far less than the enemy's, Sun Wu did not choose to fight the Vietnamese army.

After being ordered to rush to the Wuyuan area, Sun Wu turned into an infrastructure madman and recruited soldiers to build a camp with nearby Li Shu.

Whenever the terrain was dangerous, Sun Wu would build a barracks to defend against the Vietnamese army.

There are more than 10 large and small camps, and the garrisons are either 500 or 300, all of which can block the Vietnamese army for a while by virtue of the terrain of being a man and a man.

Yun Chang was made lose his temper by Sun Wu's turtle-style tactics!

I want to lead my troops around, but the road is blocked, and it is far away, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And after conquering one camp after another, the Vietnamese army spent time and effort, not to mention, and paid a heavy price!

This made Yunchang's flesh hurt.
