"kill!"

Under Qingji's order, the Wu army's smaller warships such as Zhongyi, Xiaoyi, Tumao and Qiaozhou rushed towards the Chu army's boat division, and started fighting after getting closer.

The fierce battle spread over half of the vast river in an instant, and the river was dyed crimson!

"Wu Manzi is crazy!"

Seeing the Wu army officers and soldiers being so brave and not afraid of death, killing a thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred to themselves, all the Chu army officers and soldiers, including Shen Yinshu, were frightened.

"Bang the drum! March!"

"Knock the Wu army warship away for me!"

Shen Yinshu immediately waved his hand and issued the general order for a complete attack.

"Ho ho ho!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the dull and chilling sound of war drums, the soldiers of the Chu army shouted loudly and waved their flags. With an indomitable momentum, the huge warship instantly knocked away the middle wing of the Wu army, and suddenly took the bridge ship.

.

Many Wu soldiers who tried to set up long ladders, or tried to climb up with only hooks and ropes, and rushed towards the Chu warships, were killed by random arrows, or were swept away by long swords and fell directly into the rushing river.

In the middle, he died of anger.

The Chu army counterattacked with such force that the Wu army, which lacked large warships, could not cope with it and retreated one after another!

"Order, stop the pursuit!"

Seeing the Wu army's warships fleeing in all directions, Shen Yinshu, who was deep in thought, raised his hand and stopped his own warships from pursuing them.

"General!"

Mi Ji and other generals were immediately puzzled and said: "General, why don't you pursue us?"

"The Wu army could no longer resist and began to flee. At this time, if our army can take advantage of the victory and pursue it, it will be able to complete its success in one battle and annihilate the Wu Guo Zhou Division!"

"General, give the order to pursue!"

All the generals asked for battle one after another, and Shen Yinshu issued the general order to pursue.

But as smart as Shen Yinshu, he still hesitated, suspecting that Wu Jun might be deceitful!

Seeing that Shen Yinshu was silent, Mi Ji couldn't help but said urgently: "General, this opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back!"

"If the warships of the Wu army can all be wiped out in this battle, then in the future the rivers and lakes of the Wu country will be galloped by our Chu army, and it will not be a problem to swallow the Wu country in one go!"

This was indeed a huge temptation for the Chu generals present.

Because, once the Wu State loses its water warfare capabilities and does not have many warships, the waters of the Wu State will be occupied by the Chu State's boatmen in the future.

Then the Chu army can enter the uninhabited territory and slowly encroach, or swallow the entire Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop.

At this time, Qingji, who was far away on the flagship of the Louchuan, saw that the Chu army had stopped pursuing, and he couldn't help but frown!

Shen Yinshu is worthy of being a famous general of the Chu Kingdom, and his military ability is truly unparalleled.

Originally, according to the plan set by Qingji and Heifu in advance, they wanted to lead the Chu army to the mouth of the river, and then take advantage of their unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack to annihilate the Chu army's boat division.

But now it seems that the plan cannot keep up with the changes!

The Chu army is going to stop at the first sign of success!

Qingji really couldn't tolerate this.

"Send the order, the whole army will withdraw to Xikou according to the original plan, and I will personally cut off the rear!"

"King!"

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the generals.

It is no small matter for the king of a country to personally divorce his queen!

Gein is always an extremely dangerous thing after the melee is interrupted. If you are not careful, Qingji may die after the melee is interrupted.

The chain reaction brought to Wu State after this was fatal!

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more! Withdraw!"

Qingji made a "clang" sound and leaned the Longyuan Sword in his hand on the deck. His eyebrows were solemn, and his attitude was unquestionable.

Seeing this, all the generals had no choice but to accept the order and leave.

As more and more Wu army warships left the waters, Qingji's building ship was exposed to the Chu army's sight!

Without him!

Just because there is a unique flag hanging on the mast of the building——

With a red and black background, the flag is embroidered with a big fiery red bird (Phoenix) in the middle, surrounded by a striking "Wu" character!

If you look at its regulations, you will know that it is the banner of an army. If you look at the flaming phoenix, knowledgeable people will recognize that this is the exclusive banner of the King of Wu.

King flag!

"General, let's see! Is that the flag of King Wu Qingji?"

A sharp-eyed general of the Chu army couldn't help but exclaimed.

Hearing this, the generals of the Chu army, including Shen Yinshu, couldn't help but look around.

"It's really the royal flag of the Wu Kingdom! So Qingji is on that ship."

Shen Yinshu's mind suddenly became active.

Lieutenant General Mi Ji added: "General, attack! Qing Ji is there. As long as we can capture and kill Qing Ji, we will destroy Wu and capture him."

With Miji taking the lead, the nearby Chu army generals all advised Shen Yinshu to issue the order to attack.

But Shen Yinshu always felt that there was something fishy about it!

Regarding Qingji, Shen Yinshu had met several times in his early years, but didn't know much about him.

People all over the world say that Qing Ji is brave enough to be unworthy of all men, he is benevolent and righteous, and he has the style of a wise king from ancient times.

This is not enough to win Shen Yinshu's trust.

Because when Shen Yinshu was dormant in the state of Wu, he and Helu were officials in the same dynasty and had a little personal relationship, so he knew Helu quite well.

Helu (Gongziguang) was a famous general of the Wu State in his early years. He led his army to defeat the Chu army many times and captured many cities of the Chu State. He had great military exploits and extraordinary military ability.

Moreover, Helu's city is extremely deep, which can be seen from the fact that he secretly raised dead soldiers and staff and sent special officers to assassinate the king!

After all, there are not many people in this world who can commit regicide and usurp the throne.

Qingji's ability to defeat Helu and bring things right was not only due to the help of other countries, nor just his righteousness, but Qingji's personal ability was beyond doubt.

Therefore, Shen Yinshu had to suspect that there was some deceit in Qingji's decision to personally decide the throne!

At this time, seeing that Shen Yinshu was still hesitating and having trouble making a decision, Mi Ji couldn't help but said loudly: "General, success or failure depends on this one move. How can we miss this opportunity?"

"The general only needs to hand over the boat division to the command of the last general. The first step in capturing Qing Ji and defeating Wu's army is the general's. If there is any mistake, the responsibility lies with the last general!"

"General, please give the order!"

Mi Ji really couldn't bear that Shen Yinshu missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Shen Yinshu shook his head and said: "You Sima, the right and wrong of merit and demerit have not yet been determined. Since Mi Shu is a general, if this battle is defeated, he will be held responsible!"

"Forget it! Send my order to the general, and the whole army will attack! The middle wing, small wing, and bridge boats will go out to fight. Surround them. We must capture Qingji alive!"

"promise!"

After receiving Shen Yinshu's general order, the Chu army officers and soldiers could not help but be overjoyed. They immediately rowed their oars and rushed with all their strength towards Qingji's building ship with various large and small warships.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that the Chu army's warships were indeed pursuing them, Qingji immediately issued an order to retreat.

As the saying goes, if you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf!
