The desire to fight has been ignited in Xia Yiqi's heart. He unconsciously moved his hand from the rudder and grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist. However, he was still hesitating and struggling in his heart.
His face remained gloomy and unchanging. Sometimes he was gritting his teeth, and sometimes he became sad. His expression changed three or four times, but he still didn't give the order.
Ying Ming was so anxious that he stamped his feet and almost shouted: "Brother Xia, wake up. Do you think that by saving these four giant ships, we can be innocent? Do you think that the boy named Zhu is responsible for us?
Can we not be held accountable? If more than 300 warships and more than 20,000 sailors are all gone, how can you and I explain such a big crime to so many brothers without killing a few or dozens of heads?
How could you escape that knife? No, it wasn’t just one knife, it would have been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, and the body would be broken into thousands of pieces!”
Sweat suddenly broke out on Xia Yiqi's forehead, and his voice was trembling: "This, this is not our sin, it is not our fault, it is Zhu Chaoshi, his kid..."
Ying Ming took a step forward, looked directly into Xia Yiqi's eyes, and said sternly: "There is no Zhu Chaoshi now, there are only you and me, and Senior Brother Huang and the others. Maybe you can say that things in the past have nothing to do with you, but from now on,
Sitting on four giant ships, fearing the enemy and avoiding battle, refusing to save the enemy, not even seizing the rare opportunity to counterattack, turning defeat into victory, then if the leader and others don't blame us after the battle, who will they blame?"
Xia Yiqi gritted his teeth: "Then we need the fleets on both sides to come back now to protect the giant ship, and then retreat after dawn, can we?"
Ying Mingzhi gritted his teeth, and his eyes were about to spit out fire: "Senior Brother Xia, now that things have happened, even if we save every remaining ship as you think, what will happen? You have forgotten the mission when we came here.
?"
Xia Yiqi said loudly: "Occupy Jiangling Water City and destroy the Jin fleet. This is our task, but these tasks are while our fleet is still there. Now there are two giant ships and more than 300 warships.
I led the two senior brothers to attack the two ferries of Wulin and Ma Tou. Now it seems that this is Zhu Chaoshi's conspiracy, which is to trick us into dividing our troops, and then set up these ambushes to attack us."
At this point, his tone became slightly softer: "Originally, his purpose must have been to directly use the Qianlong warship to surface and destroy our giant ship, but with the blessing of the Heavenly Master, the position of the Qianlong warship was a little off.
We did not directly hit the giant ship, but only hit the escort fleet in front. This is a blessing among misfortunes. If we continue to move forward, we will definitely be ambushed by other Jin troops and die on our own initiative!"
Ying Mingzhi sneered and said: "If he could be so accurate and colluded with the Jin army, then the Jin army would have followed up the warships to attack us. Huh, this kid is just making trouble on his own and wants to harm us, but there is no way to inform the Jin army."
The Jin army actually killed He Wuji with his own hands, how could the Jin army believe him?!"
Xia Yiqi said bitterly: "Then what is this kid trying to do? He can't go back to the Jin army and he wants to risk his own life to harm us? Don't give up on the great future in the divine religion. This is just brain.
Is there water?"
Ying Mingzhi sighed: "Perhaps, just like us who would rather die than betray the divine religion, he also considers himself a member of the Jin State and a member of the Beifu Army. He left his life just for the revenge of this day.
Well. Thinking about it this way, this bitch can be regarded as a man, and I admire him. However, now that things have happened, we have to think about what to do ourselves, not Zhu Chaoshi. The Jin army in front of them didn't know what happened, maybe they just thought
There is a problem with our army's coordinated attack and cooperation, and now, I'm afraid they are still waiting and watching."
At this point, Ying Mingzhi's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "So, now is our only chance. If we don't counterattack and advance, the Jin army will understand our losses, and then they will concentrate all their forces to besiege our giant ship.
From the Jin army's point of view, they only saw a huge wave in the middle of the river, which destroyed many ships. Their own losses may have been considerable, but the cause and effect may not be known. If we take the initiative to attack at this time, they
I am afraid that the Huanglong warship may not be able to stop it. If we defeat the enemy Huanglong warship in front of us, we can directly attack the Jin army's water stronghold and turn defeat into victory."
At this point, Ying Mingzhi paused: "On the other hand, if you stay here, even if you save these ships, the huge ships behind them will not be able to control the river without escorting the fleet. By then, the Jin army's Huanglong warships can
Taking advantage of their speed, they attack our supply lines everywhere. Senior Brother Xia, do you think Master and Deputy Cult Master Xu on the front line can spare us if they cannot get supplies from the rear?"
The muscles on Xia Yiqi's face were trembling slightly, and his voice was trembling: "Even if we lose a lot this time, as long as we can save the giant ship, we can urgently mobilize the two fleets of Senior Brother Ying and Senior Brother Li to come over.
By joining together, we can still control the river and protect the waterway."
Ying Mingzhi sighed: "The distant water cannot relieve the close fire. With today's defeat, we have lost the control of this section of the river, let alone bringing them back. If we stand still and the Jin army attacks our four giant ships with all its strength, then
There is a big question mark as to whether we can survive, and what about the future? The only way to plan for now is to advance without retreating, and make up our mind to break through the Jin warships in front and attack their Jiangling Water Village.
The chance of victory is that as long as Jiangling Water Village is captured, the enemy's Huanglong warships will lose their roots. When our squadron returns, we can easily intercept and destroy them on the river."
Xia Yiqi bit his lip and looked at Ying Mingzhi: "What if they flee to Wuling County and transport army troops to attack Changsha County? Even if they occupy Shuicheng, can they stop this?"
Ying Mingzhi said in a deep voice: "Just now we have tested out that the Jin army's escape fleet heading west was the same fleet that destroyed Li Yifan. It carried sailors and boatmen, not soldiers, and did not have a large amount of food and supplies.
With the strength of this fleet, there is no way to supply and support Wuling County in large quantities. This Jin army just wants to fight us in the water, not to transport troops to other places. Brother Xia, this is what I said.
Don’t you realize it? If you really don’t want to fight, then I will go back to the Kuaiji now, cut off the connection with your other giant ships, and move forward directly!”
After that, Ying Mingzhi turned around and was about to walk in the direction of the Kuaiji ship. Xia Yiqi finally gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said loudly: "Send the order, the giant ships move forward in a chain, destroy the current Huanglong fleet, and then,
Go straight to Jiangling Water City!"
