The Chu army's ships were huge, with cabins that could carry dozens of people. They had sails, which saved manpower, and they could move on water as fast as they could fly. The Yue people were carrying very small ships in this battle, and they could carry less than ten people.

The fog gradually began to rise, mixing with the dusk.

In the mist, the Chu army could only see the enemy with the setting sun and the light reflected in the water.

Immediately, white mist filled the air, and the outline of the enemy ship was no longer visible.

"Commander Sima, it is not appropriate to fight again at this time, for fear of being ambushed by the enemy." The officer in the same boat reminded.

"Our army is so powerful that it is ten times that of the enemy. How can we retreat?" Sima Longju looked at him with disdain. "Today, with the help of He Chuanhu, Mei Yi will no longer have a strong general to rely on. The battle will be won quickly!"

The arrows supported the big boat. The big boat broke through the water and moved forward. The sound of retaliation in the smoke still proved that the Vietnamese were still in the water.

However, the Chu army was unable to catch up with the help of sails.

"That's weird! It's because a boat with more people can't get rid of our army..."

Sima Longju scratched his chin with his hand and was puzzled. He thought about it for a long time and suddenly came up with a plan. He raised his hand and shouted, "Stop the boat!"

The generals were worried that the Yue people would flee far away, but they still listened to the military order and turned the sails to stop the speeding boat on the river.

Sima Longju also had this concern. He looked around and suddenly saw black spots approaching from a distance. He hurriedly turned his face to the side, and six or seven short arrows passed by, wiping a blood mark on Sima Longju's face and nailing it firmly to his face.

Outside the boat room.

Before Sima Longju could get angry, He Chuan Hu Hu was heard shouting from the west side of the river.

"How to stop? But the boat of Chu people only has its appearance?"

Following the words, short arrows came through the fog. The Chu army, who did not know where the enemy was, was shot in the chest by the arrow and fell into the river.

When the soldiers in the rear saw this, they were all dumbfounded and filled with fear.

"Could it be that by crossing people and practicing thaumaturgy, you can see people in the fog?"

The officers and men were timid, and there was a commotion in the boat.

"Why?! Why can Yue people know the location of our army? But our army cannot!"

Sima Longju avoided the arrow and cursed angrily. Suddenly he heard something strange coming from the sound of soldiers falling into the water, as if they had hit a wooden object. His heart moved, "Quickly go into the river to check, is there anything strange?"

Chu Jun threw his halberd and entered the water. After a while, he stuck his head out, swinging his right arm high, and slapped a long log with his left hand.

"Coming back to the commander, there are indeed iron and wood objects in the water, which seem to be connected to the Yue people's boat!"

"As expected, hook or reject...the public loses!" Sima Longju clenched his fists tightly.

It's funny to say that Hook and Reject were the Gongshu Ban specially built for the Chu State back then.

The hook is used to connect the company with the enemy ship and prevent the enemy from escaping when it is advantageous.

Those who resist, stop enemy ships and prevent enemy troops from approaching when they are at a disadvantage.

Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and opened up the road, and the traffic on the road was stronger than that on the water. When Xiang Yu conquered Qin, he mainly fought on land. This battle on the water has gradually been forgotten by people.

"It is said that Hu Hu took advantage of the fog to connect the ships with these two things! There is no need to sail. Even if he is far away from our army, he will not be able to contact us even if he is close! He will tire our army!" Sima Longju suddenly realized and shouted.

The Chu army knew why, and the doubts in their hearts gradually disappeared, and the anger of being teased regained the upper hand.

"Cut off the hook and annihilate all the Vietnamese!"

The Chu soldiers entered the water one after another, disconnected one after another, boarded the boat again and moved forward.

It is said that Hu Hui knew that the two objects had deceived the enemy not long ago, so he did not feel any pain. He took advantage of this opportunity and used his memory of the Chu army's position before the fog to fire his crossbows.

The river turned red and then dissipated.

The angry Chu soldiers continued to run.

After a while, the leader of the large boat was approaching the Yue people's small boat. He swung his halberd randomly, but no enemy responded. Regardless of any doubts, he abandoned his halberd, drew his sword, and entered the small boat. He saw a stably placed repeating crossbow facing them.

.

As the boat shook, the repeating crossbow was launched, killing all the people on the boat within range of the hedgehog.

"There is an ambush, don't be careless!" the Chu army in front roared.

Although there were not many casualties, they were attacked repeatedly, and the Chu army was eager to kill the enemy to vent their anger.

"Sima Longju, if you retreat, I, the commander, will spare your life!" Hu Xi's voice suddenly came from the flank of the Chu army.

Chu Zhou, who was flanking him, turned around and ran away. He had reached the sound, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Sima Longju knew that if someone wanted to leave a boat, he would not crowd everyone into one boat, so he should dive into the water!

"Watch out underwater!"

The Yue people's boats were swimming around like ghosts. When the Chu army saw its silhouette, it disappeared.

There was a slight movement under the boat, and the Chu army was about to enter the water for battle. The wandering boat went away and returned, firing a volley of crossbows to stop the Chu army.

Dong Dong——

The dull sound of hammering came from underwater, and the Chu army finally figured out the Yue people's plan.

In order to prevent the boat from being damaged, regardless of casualties, they entered the water with swords and entangled them.

Although the boat was moving forward quickly, it was extremely difficult to turn around. The war rhythm had been completely driven by the Yue people, and the Chu army's original formation was in chaos. No one knew what the boat formation was like on the river at this moment.

The people on the water looked up eagerly, fearing that their comrades would be ambushed, and followed closely, leaving only half of them on the boat.

The sound of falling water could be heard from all directions in Sima Longju. At this moment, he didn't know whether to stop them or let them go down, so he could only stand at the bow of the boat and look left and right.

"Combined biography... nonsense!"

Chu Jun drew his sword and swam in the water. The moment he adapted to the cold spring water, he felt his strength slowly dissipate. The red blood on his neck mixed with the river water and flowed out, sinking completely into the river.

The Chu troops who were on guard at the back stood in small groups with their backs. Suddenly, in the distance in the water, they saw Yue people holding crossbows and waving at them...

The sound of the boat being hewed became even louder, and red blood arose from the river, gradually dyeing the edge of the boat red.

A hole was finally made in the bottom of the big boat, but no river water poured in. The Chu army on the boat was still standing safely.

There are two floors at the bottom of the boat!

The Yue people were not discouraged and continued to chop with their axes. However, the second layer of wood was like copper and iron and could not be chopped.

"Alas, the small plan is enough, but the big plan is not enough." Sima Longju said with a smile, facing the river, "This is black heart wood. The old Chu got it from the south to build ships. The boats used in this trip are all old black heart wood.

Add another piece of wood. The sword cannot cut it."

It is said that Hu Hui also guessed that it was something that crossed the ground. He couldn't help sighing and led his generals to put their heads out of the river, breathing heavily.

Action in the water is more energy-intensive than action on the road. At this moment, more and more people are exhausted, and the Chu army has completed its repairs and is about to fight again.

"Damn it! If the soldiers of Chu and Yue are equal, Sima Longju may not be able to defeat me!" Hu Hu slammed the water.

"Commander! Sima Longju seems to have noticed us." The Yue soldiers exclaimed.

It was a large, immobile ship, but it had cut through the water just now. Although it was moving slowly, it enveloped the entire water area while the people were digging at the bottom of the ship.

"Do you feel tired when you follow the tradition? How does it feel when you use all your tricks, but in vain?"

Sima Longju's voice gradually faded, and Hu Hu led his soldiers to enter the water again with their remaining strength, only to find that they were surrounded by rows of Chu soldiers in the distance.

There is no way to heaven and no door to earth.

"Commander, what can we do about it?!" Yue Ren asked tremblingly as his whole body was already cold.

"Don't panic, our troops are scattered, and Sima Longju may not know that my commander is surrounded."

He told Hu Hao to comfort him, and ordered the soldiers to shout loudly beyond the crowd.

The Chu people didn't know why, and they shot random arrows, and everyone drowned in the water to escape. The people outside the siege knew what it meant, and deliberately made noise to attract the Chu people's attention. They attacked with only crossbow arrows.

The Chu people turned around and gave chase. Sima Longju chuckled and ignored them, continuing to drive toward the encirclement.

"This plan should be based on concealing one's body, and one will never act rashly. The reason for causing trouble at this moment must be to save the people who are surrounded." Sima Longju held his sword and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the Chu army is very large, we can kill them one by one.

! The repeating crossbow carried by the traditional leader has been used up? Come and lower it quickly!"

All the setting sun has entered the earth, leaving only a lingering rhyme between heaven and earth, and it will soon return to darkness.
Chapter completed!
