I immediately understood what was going on from her provocative look.       ≈

Their follow-up personnel have already arrived from Jinling!

No wonder Pei Yuanxiu was just watching the sky like me. He probably knew very well that he could force Zhao Yuncheng to retreat by using the fake "campaign" method yesterday. If they really wanted to fight, they still needed a hard battle to win this place.

The number of people and horses is naturally the key to victory.

But obviously, these were not sent by him temporarily. If he had to take Jiangling from the beginning, then these fleets probably had received this order very early.

Seeing those big ships, like the legendary tall giants approaching us step by step, the river was blocked by the big ship, constantly shaking huge waves, slapped towards the shore, stirring up waves of more than one person!

Han Zitong was so excited that she couldn't do anything to herself, her chest was fluctuating violently, and she said, "We're sure to win!"

I only looked at her and didn't say anything, but the big ships slowly broke through the thick fog and showed amazing huge outlines. When they were about to drive to us, they stopped again.

Han Zitong had a happy expression on her face, but when she saw the boat stop, she was immediately stunned: "What's going on?"

Pei Yuanxiu sat there quietly and said, "The boat cannot drive."

"ah……?"

Han Zitong hurried over and held the fence and looked forward. He realized that the rock beach that had almost caused them to fall into Zhao Yuncheng's trap actually divided the river surface into two sections, north and south. In this way, not only would the river surface be narrowed, but the riverbed also elevated. If such a large ship sailed here, it would be very likely to be stranded on the shallows near the rock beach.

Han Zitong hurriedly said, "What should I do?"

Pei Yuanxiu didn't say anything, but just looked in front of him quietly. After a while, he saw many small boats appearing on the river behind the big ships, and people were standing on the boats.

Just like when they wanted to occupy the rock beach before, this section of the water was turbulent and undercurrents were surging. Those small boats were easily capsized, and probably notified them in advance, so I saw that they also used iron chains to connect the three small boats into one, so that they could move forward steadily in the wind and waves.

However, because they are walking downstream toward this side, and now the wind is heavy and rainy, although they are flexible boats, they are also very slow to travel.

But even so, they will eventually land.

When they landed and joined the battle, Zhao Yuncheng would really not be able to hold on.

I resisted my thumping heartbeat and reached out to hold the fence. I forgot to hold the wind on my shoulders. The cold wind also poured in, making me tremble slightly.

Just then, another gust of wind blew.

But it came from behind.

The gust of wind came so fast and violently, and even the wind flasks that had been blew up behind me all at once. Almost everyone around felt them. Everyone held their messy heads in their ears and sighed in surprise.

I had already felt something in my heart and quickly turned around.

In the direction of the wind, in the mist gradually blowing away by the wind, a big ship slowly sailed over, showing its huge outline in the fog!

Here comes!

A torrent suddenly surged in my heart, and even my breathing became rapid. Everyone around me saw this scene clearly and was shocked. Han Zitong couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is-"

Pei Yuanxiu only took a look and frowned: "It's the one who followed us before."

"Didn't we send someone to stop them?"

"Obviously, it failed."

He said this and looked at me again, and I met his gaze, narrowing my eyes slightly, restraining my joy and light that had not yet been able to restrain myself.

But obviously, he already understood it.

That was Wen Ruyu's ship!

I had known before that the person who followed them must be Wen Ruyu, but when I saw them sending people that night, one team was moving forward. Now I know that it was Mr. Xie who went to Jiangling to issue a letter of war. As for the team that was behind, Han Zitong had already blurted out just now, they were sent to block Wen Ruyu.

Pei Yuanxiu must know that if he was attacked by Wen Ruyu and Zhao Yuncheng, the chance of winning Jiangling would be very slim, so he would send someone to block it. After they took Jiangling, as long as they held on, it would be difficult for Wen Ruyu's men to turn the tables in a short time.

But I didn't expect that Wen Ruyu caught up so quickly.

This is the right time!

Thinking of this, the endless joy in my eyes could no longer be hidden, and as the bitter wind mixed with cold rain blew on my face, the mist dissipated, you could see three tall warships flying towards us with the momentum of breaking the wind!

Immediately, the Mr. Xie whispered: "Prepare for the war!"

As soon as the words came to an end, the generals around them also reacted. They hurried down to lead their respective troops. Although the ship we were on was larger than Wen Ruyu's warship, it was not a real warship after all, and it was impossible to hit them head-on at this time.

Moreover, I also clearly felt that Wen Ruyu’s target was not us.

On the other side of the river, the three small boats that were trained together are getting closer and closer to the bank of the river!

At this time, it was already time when both sides were racing against time. Wen Ruyu naturally didn't care about this side. I felt the wind coming towards me became more and more bitter, almost blowing away the wind flask behind me. Pei Yuanxiu was already escorted into the cabin by them, but I was still standing at the bow of the ship, watching the three ships suddenly sailing past us in the hurricane.

I looked at the bow of the warship standing in front of Wen Ruyu. When passing by us, he also turned his head to look at me, but said nothing, but raised his hand and pointed straight ahead!

On the river surface, a scene of thousands of sails competing for flowing has appeared!

Seeing Wen Ruyu's three ships rushing into the range of the boats, the archers on the side of the boat had already begun to shoot dense arrows like drizzle downwards, and the boat was also equipped with archers, and they were also shooting arrows at the warships.

For a moment, the silver light in front of me was like rain.

In this case, both sides are targets for each other. The people who were shot on the warship shouted and fell down. There were also many casualties on the small boat. However, the big boat was originally very careful when it arrived at this place and could not fall into the shallows, but the small boats were relatively flexible. Most of them began to bypass Wen Ruyu's warship and sailed towards the north bank of the river.

I looked at this scene and frowned.

Wen Ruyu, he was a man who spent a lot of money to specially invite the navy to train. He shouldn't, and it is impossible. Only this level is right!

As we watched both sides go back and forth, the dense arrows had almost formed another rain curtain, and the silver light pierced everyone's eyes.

Some people kept screaming and falling into the water, and the river surface became boiling again.

However, Wen Ruyu still couldn't stop those people from landing!

I was vaguely worried, holding the wind flask on my chest with one hand and holding the fence with the other, and I saw Wen Ruyu's flag bearer waving the flagstones to both sides. They immediately began to turn the bow of the ship, watching several ships slowly moving like giants, and the small boats under their feet were collided by the hull and almost overturned!

However, because those small boats are locked by iron chains, the three integrated ships are more stable than ordinary small ships. Even if they are hit by such warships, they will not be broken into pieces or directly knocked over.

Wen Ruyu should think of another solution!

I looked ahead anxiously, and the people around me were also very nervous. Several generals had already led their men to board the integrated boats, and they were sailing forward to join the battle, and at least they had to land before Wen Ruyu.

At this moment, I saw something suddenly hanging from the three warships.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be huge, thick iron chains!

The chains were almost as thick as half a person, dark and heavy. There were many people standing on the side of the ship, controlling the direction of the chain hanging down. The lower end of the chain was naturally an anchor, which pulled the thick chain straight and continued downwards to the surface of the river.

Could it be that Wen Ruyu wants to anchor in this place?

I felt something was wrong, but the next moment, almost everyone was surprised by what happened.

The iron anchor was hung on the river surface by them, and it happened to be hung on the chains connecting the small boats. The back hook of the anchor hook firmly hooked the chains. As the hull moved, the small boats were immediately dragged and shaken violently. Suddenly, the people on the boat were panicked and hurried to go over to rescue the siege, but how could a few people break the heavy chain?

Seeing them panic, the people on the warship were orderly. After seeing the situation below, the people on the side of the ship immediately shouted: "Get up--!"

With that long shout, the people on the boat immediately began to collect the chains!

I heard a panic scream below. The boats were towed over, and all the people on the boat fell into the river. The river flowed fast, especially in the center of several warships, and countless undercurrents and whirlpools were set off. The people who fell into the water were not even able to call for help, so they were swept away by the river!

Immediately afterwards, they did the same.

Seeing those flexible small boats being towed one by one, and the archers on the warship took this opportunity to attack, the arrows that were denser than just now fell head-on like pouring rain, making the people below cry and howl. Even if they were not capsized by the iron anchor, they were still caught in the arrows, and some even jumped off the boat in panic.

The situation on the river has turned upside down!
