Chapter 4 Fish Belly

"Kill, don't let the Minyue soldiers run away!" The Qin soldiers shouted and rushed up. The swords and halberds swung together, and immediately killed the Minyue soldiers who were determined to escape, and their heads were rolling! Some brave Qin soldiers even entered alone, broke into the hearts of the Minyue soldiers, shouting and heading straight for the Minyue Navy warship. It seemed that they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a ready-made one!

Seeing this, Bukit was shocked and quickly ordered: "Hurry, all the warships are offshore, and the archers stop the Qin army!" The Minyue sailors were panicked. In this chaotic situation, if the Qin army took advantage of the chaos to kill the ship on board, the consequences would be unimaginable. They quickly raised up and rowed the warships towards the Songxi River. At the same time, the arrows on the warships were like raining like wildfire, and they shot hard at the Qin army that was rushing up. As for whether they would accidentally kill the Minyue defeated soldiers in the melee side, they would not care!

It doesn't matter if the Minyue navy retreated. The Minyue soldiers who had not yet boarded the ship were shocked and did not bother to fight with the Qin army anymore. They jumped into the river like dumplings and swam towards the warships of all sizes! In a blink of an eye, there were not many people living on the west bank of Songxi except for the Minyue soldiers who died in battle!

Most of the Qin soldiers did not know how to water. When they saw the Minyue sailors diving into the water and escaping, they could only stare at them! However, they would still be able to shoot arrows while the chaos was in trouble and shout and intimidate!

So, the Qin army chasing the shore led crossbows and arrows, and shot arrows at the warships and the Minyue soldiers in the water. Blood suddenly rolled in the river, and Songxi turned red!

"Hurry, all warships retreat downstream!" Seeing that the Qin army's crossbow arrows on the shore were like locusts, Wu Ji tried his best to attack, fearing that there would be a large number of troops behind the Qin army, Wu Xin and the Qin army were shooting at each other, so he quickly ordered a retreat!

At the time of the command, more than 200 Minyue Navy naval warships went downstream, with their oars flying, retreating wildly downstream. A small number of Minyue defeated soldiers who were not yet on board were still shouting in the water for help, but unfortunately the warships gradually moved away and soon they could no longer hear them.

These ruthlessly abandoned Minyue sailors either died under the crossbow of the Qin army or were swallowed by Taotao Songxi. Only a few could swim across the wide river and escape on the east bank of Songxi!

Fusu stood about ten miles north of Yufupu and looked into the distance. This was a small river, with nearly a hundred fire rafts standing by in the river! After passing Yufupu on the first night of the Minyue Songxi Naval Division, the Qin army who had already ambushed nearby immediately set up a net of heaven and earth near Yufupu. Now they are just waiting for the Minyue Songxi Naval Division to fall into the net of itself as a broken dog!

"Your Majesty, I am a clever plan in the enemy army in Fujian and Yue, and I am rushing towards Yufupu!" A 'Wolf Tooth' warrior rushed to report the news!

Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this and listened to the point where he heard a faint shouting of killing from the north. He said happily: "Hurry up, I will tell you that I will order you, and the 'Wolf's' troops will be ready immediately and listen to the orders to light the fire and set the raft at any time!" "Here!"

The one hundred fire rafts then quietly drove out from the hidden place between the river and approached the bank of Songxi under the diving of a thousand "Wolf Tooth" warriors!

Not yet half an hour, in the hazy morning light in the early morning, a group of huge black shadows faintly sailed over from the north. The huge sails were flying in the wind and rushed towards the south!

Fusu waved his hand: "Be careful of concealment!" The central army guards around him immediately lowered their bodies, hid in the dense weeds, held their breath, and quietly watched the brigade of Fujian-Qiang warships row by the side!

Gradually, more than 200 Fujian-Qiang warships crowded each other over the small river where everyone was hiding in Fusu, and fled to the dangerous shoal of Yufupu.

When Fusu saw that it was not too late, he shouted: "Light the fire and set the raft!"

"Huh--!" One hundred fire rafts filled with tinder and piled with firewood immediately rose up a raging fire, and drove out of the river under the push of a thousand "Wolf Tooth" warriors, and drifted downwards smoothly towards the downstream!

At this time, Bukit was striving to command and coordinate the navy fleet to gallop downstream. Suddenly, the flag soldiers in the hanging railing at the top of the commander's ship shouted: "Report, General, there are countless fire rafts in the north, going downstream and quickly approaching our fleet!"

When Bukit heard this, he was shocked: The fire raft is light and brisk, so how could these bulky warships run past them? What's more, it's close to Yufupu, and it's a narrow and dangerous place. Not only is the fleet crowded together, but it's also greatly reduced its speed, otherwise it will be at risk of hitting the reef!

With shock and anger, Bukit had to take the blame for the two powers and shouted: "All warships move forward at full speed and avoid the fire raft behind him!" Bukit thought that as long as he passed Yufupu, even if he sank a few warships and burned a few more, as long as he could save the main force, it would be good!

In just an instant, the Minyue Songxi Navy fleet, who was eager to escape, immediately accelerated its speed and rushed towards Yufupu.

In just a quarter of an hour, the forward of the Minyue Navy, who was smooth sailing into Yufupu.

It turns out that the relatively gentle Song Creek suddenly narrowed halfway at the Yubaopu. The rugged mountains on both sides further determine the dangerous places of the Yubaopu's dangerous shoals: the water flows turbulently, the vortexes are surging, the reefs are densely packed, and the twists and turns are continuous!

Under such a water flow, the slow-moving ships must be careful. A fleet like the Minyue Navy, which is eager to escape, will naturally have no good ending!

The vanguard warship, which was rushing forward, had just turned a corner and was facing a huge vortex. The warship was too fast and could not avoid it for a moment. It was immediately led and pushed by the vortex and quickly crashed towards the shore. With a "collision!", the vanguard ship immediately hit the reef. The hull suddenly trembled and the wood chips flew across the bow, cracking a huge hole like a water tank. Suddenly, the surging river water poured in. The bow of the vanguard ship immediately soaked down, and the stern rose and quickly sank!

The subsequent Minyue ships were shocked to see this and were willing to slow down their speed, but they looked back and saw that there were already flames at the tail of the fleet. It seemed that many behind ships were caught by the fire raft and buried in the sea of ​​fire! They would undoubtedly die if they were caught by the fire raft. They might have a little chance of rushing through the dangerous shoals. The Minyue sailors didn't care much, and they didn't slow down their speed and advanced at full speed!

After all, it was an elite unit that was familiar with water warfare. Although one or two unlucky people in the ten ships were trapped by the vortex and sank the reef, the main force successfully passed through most dangerous shoals and rushed towards the southern end of the fish belly!

Seeing the water gradually widening and the river flow gradually calmed down, the Fujian Yue soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as Wu Ji was glad that he was about to escape, the fleet in front suddenly shook, and the speed suddenly dropped to zero! The Fujian Yue sailors who were caught off guard all staggered and fell into a ball. They shouted: "What's going on?"

Taking advantage of the morning sun, several Fujian Yue soldiers climbed onto the bow of the boat and looked at the river water in front of them.

Unfortunately, although diving and rushing in such a narrow and turbulent place is the best way to escape, it is not the most effective way. The raging fire, the undercurrent of turbulent breath, the ruthless vortex... The tiny human power seems extremely fragile under such a harsh situation. Most of the Minyue soldiers who dived died in Songxi, and there were very few who escaped by chance!

Just when the fleet of the front army in Minyue was in chaos, the Mid-River of the Central and Back Army of Minyue also arrived. Hundreds of fire rafts struggled to catch up with the rear team of the Minyue Navy. The Minyue warship, which was already unable to move, had no choice but to watch the Qin army's fire raft and hug them lively with their warships!

The fire started to burn violently, and the Qin army raft filled with tinder oil burned the Minyue warships one by one. In a blink of an eye, dozens of Minyue rear warships were all spared, and they were all engulfed by the raging fire! The Minyue navy rushed out of the fire and struggled to dive into the water and escape like burning torches!

The fire began to spread like a plague, and quickly began to burn from the rear of the Minyue Navy and spread to the Central Army; and the Minyue Front Army was also blazing with fire and red, spreading to the Central Army under the attack of the Qin army's fire rain.

For a moment, the central army of the Minyue Navy, blocked between two huge fire walls, could only watch the fire approaching quickly, but was helpless! The situation gradually lost control. Apart from Bukit's commanding ship, the Minyue Songxi Navy had completely collapsed and had no order. Both officers and soldiers just fled themselves and had no other thoughts at all!

The stunned and ashamed Wuji looked at the hundreds of warships in front of him, turning into torches that soared into the sky, and murmured to himself: "I lost, so badly! How could this happen!? My dignified Minyue naval army actually lost to a marmot-like Qin army! Oh my god!! Why did I have the good reputation to see the king again? Even if I die, I have no shame to see the previous king and ancestors!"

The distraught Bukit stood on the commander's ship and watched the fire sweeping over from all directions. Although the heat waves were rolling and the fire snakes were running around, they turned a blind eye without a trace of fear, with only regret and regret in their eyes!

Bukit was not afraid, but his personal soldiers couldn't hold it anymore and advised them one after another: "General, go quickly, it's too late if you don't leave!" Bukit shook his head and said calmly: "You go, I'll lose all the Songxi Navy. What's the face of escaping? I'm going to live and die with the fleet!"

The soldiers were helpless and couldn't care about anyone at this time. They jumped away and took their lives.

The fire quickly swept over and swallowed the commander's ship in a red color. Bukit walked into the cabin with an expressionless face, moved the commander's position out, placed it on the front deck, and sat tall. He looked at the approaching flame coldly, and his face was calm!
