Chapter 684: The Decisive Battle (Part 1)

Xia Suiyang went down in person, tied up Xu You, who had been salvaged, and carried it backwards to the boat.

"Are you not dead yet?" Shi Gan turned sideways slightly, blocking his way, and frowned softly.

"No," Xia Suiyang shook his head and said astonished: "Looking at this guy's appearance as a tuberculosis, I didn't expect his life to be really hard."

Shi Gan stopped talking, but made a gesture.

Xia Suiyang said with regret, "What a pity." But his hands were not slow at all, and two cold lights flashed by, and he had already put his sword back into the sheath.

The tied wrists had already been cut open by two inches of wounds, but there was no blood that Shi Gan imagined to have gushed out.

Seeing Shi Gan's eyes coming to ask, Xia Suiyang whispered: "The tendons of your hands are broken."

"There are still tendons." After leaving a cold sentence, Shi Gan turned around and walked up to the podium and reported to the prince: "Take the assassin."

"Bring it up." Qin Lei said lightly.

When Xia Suiyang lifted the arrowhead with all his limbs up, the man was awakened by pain and lay softly on the ground, his hands and feet completely lost consciousness.

"Raise his head." Qin Lei sat down on a bench.

Xia Suiyang pulled the man's hair and raised his pale face. When Qin Lei saw that it was indeed Xu You, who had a lot of 'relationship' with him, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said, brother, you are really in dispersed."

"It's a pity that the effort was still in vain." Xu You said with a calm expression, as if he didn't feel any pain at all: "I'm very curious, how did you avoid my arrow?"

"It's okay to tell you." Qin Lei smiled and said, "Because I am afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?" A little surprised expression finally appeared on Xu You's plain face.

"Because I'm afraid of you, I'm deeply impressed by your voice." Qin Lei coughed a few times as he imitated him: "As soon as he heard this unique cough, he fell down with a reflex."

Xu You looked unbelievable and thought to himself: "How can I hear my coughing sound on such a chaotic battlefield?"

Seeing that Xu You didn't believe it, Qin Lei shrugged and said, "Believe it or not." In fact, this is half true and half false. Xu You was not bad at heart, but if Marshal Boshang had not been killed by the arrow, he gave him a reminder, making him always alert to the hidden arrows shot from all sides. Only then did he realize that the unusualness on the red horse boat would have been, and he would probably not be able to escape this fatal blow.

Of course, wise and wise as King Wu Cheng, he would not admit that he was just lying on the ground based on speculation.

"Why do you have to kill me several times?" Qin Lei asked: "Is it just for money?"

"Don't pretend to be serious!" Xu You's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he roared sharply: "If you kill my sister, of course I will avenge her!"

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

Hou Xin, who was standing next to him, quickly leaned in his ear and whispered: "After this kid shot Yu Qian to death, the prince ordered all his family to be killed. We only found him one sister and then killed him."

Qin Lei looked at Xu You silently and said softly, "In this way, you have a reason to kill me." He lowered his eyelids and said, "But I have a reason to kill you." After that, he got up and returned to the cabin. Xu You, who was about to curse, was pierced by a sharp blade and then threw it into the lake.

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

On the second day, the fog on the river surface was heavy and the visibility was ten thousandth, but Zhu Lie resolutely chose to start the war. With his experience, he knew that as soon as the sun came out, the fog would dissipate.

But what happened yesterday made the morale of the Chu army a little depressed. It was not because of the regrettable failure of the sneak attack. In fact, few people understood what happened yesterday. They were frightened by the endless mysterious weapons of the Qin army. Not to mention the ghost things that could make the warships explode inexplicably, just talking about the fire dragon-like things that have a longer range than a stone-throwing cannon. Wherever they hit, there is a sea of ​​fire. How can we play with this?

Zhu Hongjun told his soldiers that although the Qin army's "Fire Dragon Out of Water" was very dynamic and incredible, it was actually only effective for small boats. For the third-layer warship they were riding on, it was not as effective as the damage caused by sulphur bombs.

The officers and soldiers were skeptical, but their fear was slightly reduced. It happened that a group of white water birds flew over the fleet at this time, and Zhu Lie immediately compared it to a symbol of auspiciousness, and the officers and soldiers recovered their confidence.

He used the heavy fog to lead his army to detour from the west bank to the back of the Qin army. When a rising sun rose, the thick fog on the lake surface really dissipated, revealing the shadow of the warships of the two armies. The Chu army had completed the pre-war formation, and nearly a thousand ships of all sizes were divided into three squadrons, completely blocking the Qin army's retreat in a semicircular shape.

The Qin fleet was also adjusting and deploying almost at the same time. Marshal Bosang had high hopes, but Yang Wenyu, who did not say a word the day before, allowed the navy to freely exert his power, finally began to use the prestige of King Wu Cheng to issue orders... In fact, he had no choice. After all, he had been away from the Zhennan Army for more than ten years. With his previous prestige, it was still a question whether he could mobilize troops. Therefore, he refused to serve as the commander, and he felt at ease to pull the tiger's skin on the king's ship to command the decisive battle with Zhuli.

The reason why he didn't say anything yesterday was because he wanted to tell the four generals that without unified command and strict execution, no matter how good the warship or high the fighting spirit, he would not win the battle.

Sure enough, today, Chu Po, Chu Luo, Qin Youcai, and Qin Youde each led the squadron and obediently obeyed his orders.

Yang Wenyu ordered the fleet to be placed in a huge crescent shape, and the two crescent spires pressed against the two wings of the Chu army fleet. He placed Qin Youcai's squadron in the middle, and the Chu brothers separated from each other. The Qin Youde squadron, who was injured in the battle yesterday, was arranged as a reserve team behind the formation, ready to support the front at any time.

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

Without any temptation, the fleets of both sides approached the entire line. Yang Wenyu was surprised to find that the more than 50 super warships of the Central Fleet of Chu were much larger than any of the Qin army's ships. Each ship was five stories high, with four huge poles on the waterline. They were all wrapped in cowhide iron armor, and they were all rolling stones, wood, stone casting cannons. At first glance, they were a big killer that could be far or near.

These ships did not appear in yesterday's battle, and were obviously cleverly hidden by Zhu Lie. At this moment, they were finally taken out as the last trump card!

Seeing those giant ships rushing over with a stern lineup like majestic water fortresses, the Qin soldiers were a little nervous. The three generals suggested that the fleet retreat, pull the formation of the chasing ships, and then find a gap to kill a resurgent.

But without saying a word, Yang Wenyu ordered an attack immediately. The brave ones who meet on a narrow road win, how can they retreat before the battle?

Since the Qin and Chu armies were divided into three independent squadrons, and there was still a certain distance between the squadrons, the war started on three battlefields.

The right wing of the Qin army and the left wing 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 wing of the Qin army, countless "fire dragons came out of the water" bombarded. When the Chu army officers and soldiers saw that as Shangzhuguo said, these things could not harm the strong main battleship of the Chu army, but Shangzhuguo did not say anything... The damage to people is not divided into large ships and small ships.

When each fire dragon fell on the Chu ship, a dazzling fire ball would explode. With the explosion, the officers and soldiers within a range of ten feet were alive and had a very shocking lethality. The deck of the Chu army began to become chaotic, and the officers and soldiers hid behind the shelter, fearing that they were killed by these fire dragons flying in.

Such powerful firepower was far beyond the expectations of the commander of the Chu army. He quickly ordered the fleet to advance at full speed. After entering the range of the stone casting cannon, he couldn't wait to blew the whistle of the launch. Here we have to admire the Chu navy. Although the Qin army's fire dragon was still raging, when they heard the whistle, they still began to prepare for launch without hesitation. The front fell down, the back immediately filled up, and finally launched the counterattack at the fastest speed.

The best defense is attack. When all the Chu scattered bullets fell on the Qin warships, the Qin army's offensive was stagnant. Many soldiers standing on the side of the ship fired "Fire Dragon Out of Water" were killed on the spot. As a result, the ignited rockets flipped over and ran around the Qin army's ship, hurting countless people. The Qin army realized that they had entered the range of the rocket casting cannon, and immediately used the rocket casting cannon to fight back.

To kill and injure enemy ships, you have to use large stone lumps weighing dozens or even hundreds of pounds.

The two armies began to shoot fiercely. According to the conventional rules, the next step was to compare whose bullets were bounced and whose power was greater. However, the Qin army's right-hand fleet commanded by Chu Po gave up the slightly advantageous long-range shooting. With the order flag, the fleet quickly approached the Chu army.

The left-wing fleet of the Chu army was not mentally prepared for the battle on the shore, so they had to fight and retreat while fighting, trying not to contact the Qin army, and unknowingly approached the shallows with shallow reefs.
