The river is large and wide, and the current is gentle enough to accommodate six or seven large ships.
At this moment, the dozen or so warships at the forefront were all in chaos, several of them tilted, many soldiers were thrown into the river, and the ships also stopped moving forward.
"What's going on?" Wei Yuande was really stunned this evening, and he stood up and walked towards the bow of the ship.
"His Royal Highness, something is wrong. We were plotted. Someone under the water pierced our boat." The deputy general came to report in panic.
"Are you fools? The boat was pierced and you didn't notice it?" Wei Yuande was shocked and angry, his thin mustache trembling with anger, "Send someone into the water to catch them."
"Those people know the nature of water well and have already escaped." The deputy general cocked his head tightly.
"A bunch of trash." Wei Yuande cursed angrily and frowned at the warships blocking the way across the river. "How many ships were destroyed? Can you step aside to make way for the warships behind you?'
Vice Admiral: "The bow of the ship is flooded and cannot move. We have to wait until it completely sinks to see if it can pass."
"The Night King with a dog's sun is indeed more cunning than a wolf." Wei Yuande cursed fiercely, sweating profusely, opened the fan and fanned it loudly, and suddenly lost his mind.
"Your Highness, why don't we retreat first?" the lieutenant general suggested, "If we stay here and we are ambushed, we will be in trouble."
"Retreat? Are you trying to make this prince's start unfavorable?" Wei Yuande hit the deputy general's forehead with the handle of a fan several times, pointing to the two sides of the bank cut with a knife and ax, "Can people climb such a high mountain? The Night King's
Can soldiers still grow wings?"
The lieutenant general looked at both sides of the river and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, my subordinates are confused. It is impossible to get anyone here.'
However, before he finished speaking, a rocket suddenly shot out and sank into the deck with a pop, tongues of fire licking it.
Wei Yuande's eyes widened in horror. Before he could react, he saw countless rockets shooting towards him, falling on the ship's deck and on the soldiers. When the river wind blew, a raging fire immediately started, and the entire river
The warship suddenly fell into chaos.
At this moment, Wei Yuande forgot to dodge. The whizzing rockets were reflected in his frightened and desperate eyes. He was so frightened that he completely lost the ability to react.
It turns out that war is much more complicated, thrilling, and terrifying than he imagined!
In an instant, he could only regret. Should his majestic prince take such a risk? He should not have come, and he should not underestimate the enemy!
Wei Yuande was frightened, but the deputy general had been on the battlefield after all, and was much calmer than him. He pulled him to avoid a few arrows and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, we can only abandon the ship and escape in a small boat."
Wei Yuande came back to his senses when he heard the word "escape", glanced at the hundreds of warships that were set on fire, and secretly said it's over!
With the help of the lieutenant, he staggered onto the escape boat and retreated back shivering.
The enemy troops on the shore stopped shooting. At this time, the river was burned to ashes. Hundreds of warships were caught in the sea of fire, and the flames rolled up thick smoke into the sky.
The soldiers who had no time to escape were either buried in the flames or jumped into the river and splashed in the water. Only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers escaped from the more than 200,000 soldiers.
"Your Highness, what should we do with those soldiers in the water?" The deputy general was shocked when he looked at this scene. His Highness the Crown Prince had already been defeated by the Night King without even meeting him.
"They can't die." Wei Yuande's voice was low and depressed, "They are all sailors with good water skills. They will be fine if they swim to both sides of the bank."
"But without a ship, they can't retreat." The deputy general's tone was full of helplessness, "If they can't retreat, they can only become prisoners. They were once the subordinates of General Wei Liang.'
What does this mean? It means that if these people are captured by the Night King, they will definitely become the Night King's people.
Wei Yuande gritted his teeth and said, "Leave them alone and retreat first."
He had no choice but to retreat. He had to escape first, what if he was ambushed again? He didn't want to die here.
In this way, hundreds of small boats retreated to Tongzhou.
"I don't know what's going on at Wuyin Mountain." The deputy general said worriedly, "What should we do if we lose over there?"
Wei Yuande sat on the side of the boat with his head lowered and full of frustration. He thought that he would be crushed without even seeing the enemy, and he was completely defeated.
Only then did he remember what General Niu said, and he mobilized half a million troops to defeat the Night King in one fell swoop.
If he had listened to Niu Zhi and directly mobilized his troops to attack from Wuyin Mountain, this would have been the most correct strategy.
However, everything is too late, now I just hope that Niu Zhi's side can win.
The deputy general continued his analysis: "If General Niu's side does not win, Tongzhou may have been lost. Once Tongzhou is lost, will the Night King besiege us from the front?"
Wei Yuande became anxious now, "General Niu only brought 100,000 soldiers, and it is very likely that he will fall~~"
Just as he was talking, a large and medium-sized merchant ship came in front, and standing on the ship was the defeated and injured Niu Zhi.
Last night, Niu Zhi attempted to break out of Wuyin Mountain with a hundred thousand troops, but was killed by the Night King's troops, leaving no one behind.
After being defeated, he guessed that the Night King would attack the prince from both front and back, so he hurriedly grabbed a merchant ship and came to report to the prince.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince~~" After rescuing Wei Yuande from the boat, Niu Zhi knelt down towards Wei Yuande dejectedly, "The Night King created a crossbow with multiple arrows, and our army was defeated~~ Now he has led the army
Breaking into Tongzhou."
"Can't we go back to Tongzhou? So wouldn't the Night King send troops to block the mouth of the river?" Wei Yuande had a look of panic in his eyes.
"So Your Highness, we can't go any further." Niu Zhi said, looking towards the west bank of the river and pointing to the road ahead. "We can only dock there, follow the mountain road into the Western Region, and take a detour to retreat to Luozhou."
Wei Yuande's face was extremely ugly, and a strong sense of defeat enveloped him, and he nodded feebly for a long time.
Half an hour later, Wei Yuande and his party abandoned the ship and fled into the Western Regions.
Not long after, dozens of large ships came down the river.
Ji Xun stood on the bow of the boat, and the river breeze blew over his god-like handsome face, which was so beautiful that it was dazzling.
He hugged his woman from behind and said loudly: "Let's go, Yu Yu, and your husband will pick up the captives."
"Pick up prisoners? How to pick them up?" Shen Yuyu didn't know what happened on the river. He just felt that Ji Xun said the word "pick up" very easily, just like picking up fish and shrimps.
"How to pick it up? You'll know later." Ji Xun rubbed his chin on Shen Yuxi's head and said softly.
After driving forward for about half an hour, Shen Yuyu exclaimed in shock.
"Sure enough, we have indeed taken prisoners!"
I saw that the riverside under the cliff ahead was crowded with wet Dasheng soldiers, who had abandoned their helmets and armor and were in a miserable state.
And those warships had already caught fire and sunk, leaving no trace.
