Hu Fan's voice was as soft as his weak body: "You, why do you want to save me like this? Why, why didn't Liu Yu kill me?! I, I killed him, I killed his best
brother!"
Abbas shook his head: "This is not something we can answer. We are just following orders. General Liu promised us that if we meet you on the battlefield and find a way to save your life, we will also be rewarded for it.
Today you happen to be on the Fire Dragon that we scuttled. This is your luck and our luck. General Hu, you'd better go home now. You will lose today. If you are seen by other soldiers of our army again,
, I will definitely take your head as a tribute."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and more than twenty Kunlun slaves jumped into the river again. A bunch of black heads floated up and down, and soon they submerged into the water without a trace.
Hu Fan murmured to himself: "Liu Yu, do you want to kill me with your own hands for revenge? Hum, fine, come and kill me if you want. I won't run or avoid, I'll wait for you at home!"
He said, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked in the other direction without taking off his armor.
Shuilong, the flagship of the Chu army.
Every muscle on He Danzhi's face was beating along with his beard. He gritted his teeth and said nothing. Feng Gai on the side exclaimed: "It's not good, General Guo, General Guo."
His general's ship was also on fire, and there was also the second fleet. Almost, almost all of them were on fire. Marshal He, hundreds of fire ships are now turning their heads and rushing towards us. This, this
But what to do?!"
He Danzhi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Why panic? It's a westerly wind now. The wind direction is good for me and not good for the enemy. There are only more than thirty sailboats. What's there to be afraid of? Send an order to all the Chinese fleet."
Weigh anchor and charge forward. Even if there is no forward and secondary formation, I don’t believe that we can’t defeat it with the strength of our main formation..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression was frozen on his face, because he clearly saw that behind the more than thirty Monchong battleships of the Beifu Army's front army, hundreds of people rushed out of the sea of fire.
The boats rushed towards the ship. Their black mud and water-soaked rawhide covered the sides and roof of the ship. There was no one on the deck, only dozens of wooden oars coated with black mud. They turned like flying without sails.
, but relying on the power of the oars and the rear rudder to push forward, they were still like flying fish. They didn't care about the battleships that caught fire and sank in the second wave, and they didn't even care about capturing or assassinating the Chu soldiers who fell into the water.
Wuji and others gathered together on the ship and rushed towards the Water Dragon on their side.
He Danzhi shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible, how can these, these Beifu Army warships be able to directly rush towards the burning fleet like this? Are they magical and not afraid of fire attacks?
"
Feng Gai gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care about so much anymore. Commander, raise the flag quickly and get ready to fight. Otherwise..."
He Danzhi woke up from a dream and shouted: "Hurry, raise the handsome flag quickly."
However, on the mainmast, a commander's flag with the word "he" had just been raised, and it was less than one-third of the way away. Suddenly, an arrow shot out, breaking the flag rope, and a cry was heard on the ship:
"Shuai He died in battle, and the Fire Dragon sank!"
Almost instantly, countless shouts rang out from all the warships in the Chinese army's main formation: "Commander He died in battle, and the Fire Dragon sank!"
On the Water Dragon, such sounds became louder and louder. For almost ten seconds, the entire ship was filled with such sounds from the rear deck to the lookout post, from the bottom oar cabin to the sides. Countless escape boats,
The tether was roughly cut off and fell into the water. The sergeants on the boat scrambled to jump on the boat and rowed towards the shores on both sides. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Chinese main fleet was here.
, there were at least a thousand life-saving boats rowed to the river banks on both sides. The soldiers in the boats turned into deserters all over the river. There were even many warships that simply raised white flags and sailed slowly.
Facing the Beifu military fleet that was charging here, the soldiers on the bow threw their bows, arrows, crossbows, etc. into the water while raising their hands in the air to show their freedom of war.
Feng Gai and He Danzhi stared at each other. At this time, even the Chinese army guards behind them, some of the more than 200 people, began to turn around and run away. He Danzhi sighed: "God's will, this is all
It's God's will, General Feng, let's withdraw first and then make long-term plans."
Feng Gai gritted his teeth: "Then let's go back to Luzhai and Xunyang City first?"
He Danzhi smiled bitterly and pointed to the camp on the land. The gate of the camp was already wide open, and black smoke was everywhere in the camp. The cry of "Commander He died in battle, the Fire Dragon has sunk!" was also heard in the camp on the shore.
Apparently, the defenders there had collapsed without a fight. On the river bank in the northeast, a group of more than a thousand infantrymen, wearing light armor and holding short soldiers, were flying towards the camp.
They were flying the banner of the Beifu Army, with a big flag with the word "Zhao" flying in the middle of the army. The leading general, riding a horse, was leading the way. He was shouting and motivating his subordinates to gallop: "Come into the camp, all the baggage
, the money and silk belong to whoever finds them!"
Feng Gai bit his lip: "This is Zhao Yi, a famous brave general under Liu Yi. It seems that he is heading for Xunyang City. No, Princess Langya, ah, no, it's Chu Lingyuan and her daughter. They are all still there."
It’s inside!”
He Danzhi said bitterly: "I can't care about them anymore. Anyway, it's not the king's love. I'm just a former princess. If you lose it, just throw it away. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to see your majesty."
He turned around, commanded his Chinese army, and rushed to the back of the ship, where there were several rescue boats specially reserved. In this regard, Huan Xuan set a good example for his subordinates. Soon,
The front deck of the Water Dragon also became empty, and the fallen flag with the word "ho" fell alone on the deck, letting the wind and rain beat it.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yi stepped heavily on the handsome flag with the word "He" and said with a smile: "It seems that He Danzhi's fighting ability is not very good, and his ability to escape is as good as Huan Xuan's."
Give it a try."
He Wuji and Liu Daogui on one side all laughed loudly. Xu Xianzhi looked at the dozens of fast boats going away with his identity on his face and said, "Why don't you go after He Danzhi and Feng Gai?"
Liu Yi shook his head: "A defeated general cannot speak bravely. That's what He Danzhi did. As soon as Jiankang fled, he also ran away when encountering difficulties this time. I just want them to be afraid of defeated generals and put defeat and fear into their heads."
Spread your emotions to the Chu army in Jiangling. This move is also commonly used by slaves. Xianzhi, this time it was thanks to your meticulous work in the Chu army. You disrupted their morale at the critical moment and achieved this great victory. This is a credit to you.
, I will definitely report it.”
