Chapter 998 The First Water War

Pei Zong said seriously: "I don't ask to defeat the Qin army, but the greatest victory is that the Yangtze River can be defended."

The meaning is obvious, only defend but not attack.

And he was the main general here. When Huangfu Yuqi heard this, he smiled dryly, but didn't say anything else.

Next, the generals of the Wu army walked around the river, pointing here and there, and after another discussion, they dispersed.

Huangfu Yuqi's deputy general of the left army had his own troops, with about 30,000 people.

After returning to his tent, he shook his head secretly and couldn't help but say, "Pei Zong is old, so he is too cautious and cautious. If a general does not have the intention of making progress, how can he defeat the enemy? It is important to know that attack is the best defense."

When the general heard this, he smiled and said, "It seems that the general and the old general Pei have different opinions today."

"Yes." Huangfu Yuqi sighed slightly: "In my opinion, Pei Zong is a manifestation of being too afraid of the King of Qin. In fact, what is the Qin army afraid of? The world is called tigers and wolves, but it is just a battle of infantry. On the Yangtze River, with the elite of my navy and my understanding of the waters, if you really want to fight to the decisive battle, you will have a chance of victory."

"For example, our soldiers live by the water all year round and have a deep understanding of the weather changes in the Yangtze River."

"Know where the water is deep, where the water is shallow, and how fast and smooth the water flow is."

"And the Qin army came from the north and didn't know these."

"In the battle of the river, this is our great advantage, and it can be used to make an attack."

"As far and wide, those who are good at fighting have won many. After reading historical records, our Wu army has also defeated the northern iron cavalry many times. Why are you afraid of now?"

He said a lot, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but nodded slowly: "The general is right..."

Huangfu Yuqi disdained Pei Zong's conservative tactics and believed that the fighter opportunity was available. Within two days, he pointed out some soldiers and drove out more than ten warships, preparing to go to the camp in person.

Pei Zong, who received the news, naturally rushed to the riverside. He was the current chief general of the Wu army naval division. Huangfu Yuqi did not receive the order and actually took military action. His tone was inevitably criticized.

But the latter said indifferently: "The last general was ordered by the king. He had just arrived at the front line and had not grasped the specific situation of the Qin army. If he was a general, if he did not understand the enemy situation, how would he lead the troops to fight?"

This statement is not unreasonable, and Pei Zong didn't want to say anything else, so he could only explain: "Since General Huangfu intends to explore the camp, be careful in everything. The Qin army's water camp is strictly guarded and should not be approached."

"Hey? The old general doesn't have to worry, the last general will have his own right." Huangfu Yuqi said.

As he spoke, he waved to his subordinates: "Go!"

He was the eldest son of Wu Shuai Huangfu Ye. He was born in a wealthy family and was young and energetic. He wanted to prove himself. Pei Zong was once a general under his father, so his tone of speaking to him did not have that kind of respect for the main general.

Seeing more than ten warships leaving and gradually disappearing on the endless river surface, Pei Zong sighed secretly. He actually didn't want Huangfu Yuqi to be on the front line, but he would not be able to tell the King of Wu about such a thing, otherwise he would be jealous.

Let’s talk about Huangfu Yuqi, who led the warship out, lined up on the river outside a water camp of the Qin army.

The water here is vast, and you can see the situation on the river at a glance, which naturally aroused the alertness of the Qin army. In an instant, the sound of armor friction sounded everywhere, and a large number of crossbowmen rushed to the shore, bent their bows and arrows together.

"Shoot the arrow!"

A general Qin waved his hand.

The bowstrings were tense, and a large number of sharp arrows shot out.

But the distance between the two sides was too far, and many arrows shot into the river, causing splashes of water, and a small number of them were nailed to the ship, but they did not have any killing effect.

Huangfu Yuqi was not panicked at all. After a round of arrows shot, he separated the shield hands in front of him, and was at the bow of the ship. He began to laugh and said:

"The Qin army camp, but that's it! I've observed carefully and there are many flaws to find. I'm telling the King of Qin quickly and let him wash his neck and wait!"

"Or, please come quickly, otherwise the disaster will not be far away-"

Such a blatant exploration of the camp and another sarcasm, the Qin general was undoubtedly furious when he heard this.

But this is not over yet. After the laughter, Huangfu Yuqi continued to shout:

"The little thieves in the Qin army are all rats! How dare you compete with our Wu army-"

"War in the river, you don't even deserve to carry your shoes! You should go back wherever you come from-"

"If you don't accept it, you dare to fight-"

General Qin couldn't help but speak like this, and suddenly became furious and glared at the commander: "Go on the boat!"

Under his order, a large number of soldiers began to board the warship. The Qin general also walked quickly, got onto a large ship, waved and shouted: "Chase!"

The sailors began to move in unison, and the waves rolled.

"Roar hard!"

More than a dozen warships were sailing out in one after another, forcing them toward the Wu army.

Seeing this, Huangfu Yuqi immediately ordered: "Change and lead the Qin army to Repulse Bay."

The two sides began to pursue the vast river, one after another.

The news quickly reached Xiao Yuan. After hearing this, the latter stood up and walked quickly. While rushing to the riverside, he also said angrily: "Tian You guy! Why dare to pursue him rashly!"

Of course he scolded the Qin general.

By the time they arrived at the riverside, the dozen warships that the Qin army chased out had already disappeared from the river.

Xiao Yuan secretly shouted that he was not good, so he quickly ordered: "Hurry! Send the fast ship and ask Tian You to return quickly!"

"promise!"

But obviously, it's too late.

On the Yangtze River, it was about to catch up with the enemy ship. Tian You was at the bow of the big ship and was about to order to continue paddling hard, but suddenly, a rumbling sound came from a secret sound.

At the same time, the hull vibrated violently and stopped instantly. The soldiers on the ship also screamed in shock, caught off guard, and inertia was blocked, and many people were fallen to the ground.

Tian Youyi shook her body, but fortunately she held the side of the ship and stood firm. Soon, a soldier shouted loudly: "General! There are huge rocks underwater, and our warship is stuck!"

"What!?" Tian You was shocked and shouted in a hurry: "Quick! Turn left rudder and paddle hard!"

With his order, the flag was shaken, and more than ten large oars were exerting force on each warship at the same time, but the warship made a crackling sound, making it difficult to turn around.

It can be imagined that the warships had previously hit the river surface and had a slow speed. They plunged into the pile of rocks under the water. Under the impact, the bottom of the ship would inevitably get stuck in it. It would be almost impossible to paddle with the oars.

This was the case with more than a dozen warships, and the sailors still couldn't move with all their efforts.

At this time, Huangfu Yuqi, who was already running away, also led the warship back and laughed again.

The side generals around him were also full of excitement and said, "General, these Qin troops have been fooled."
