Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 817
The river is big and wide, and the current is gentle enough to hold six or seven large ships in parallel.

At this moment, the dozen or so warships galloping at the forefront were all in chaos, several of them tilted, many soldiers were thrown into the river, and the boats also stopped advancing.

"What's going on?" Wei Yuande was really dumbfounded this evening, he stood up and walked towards the bow.

"His Royal Highness is not well, we have been plotted against, and someone at the bottom of the water pierced our boat." The lieutenant came to report in a panic.

"Are you fools? The boat was gouged and you didn't even notice it?" Wei Yuande was startled and angry, his not-so-thick mustache trembling with anger, "Send someone into the water to catch them."

"Those people have a deep understanding of water, and they have already escaped." The lieutenant shook his head firmly.

"A bunch of waste." Wei Yuande cursed a few words, and frowned at the warships blocking the way across the river, "How many ships were destroyed? Can you drive aside to make way for the warships behind?"

The lieutenant general: "The bow of the ship is flooded and cannot move. We have to wait until it completely sinks to see if it can pass."

"The night king of the dog-day is indeed more cunning than a wolf." Wei Yuande cursed fiercely, sweating profusely, opened the fan and fanned it, and lost his mind in his agitation.

"Your Highness, why don't you retreat first." The deputy general suggested, "If you stay here and are ambushed, it will be troublesome."

"Retreat? Are you trying to make this crown prince unlucky?" Wei Yuande knocked on the head of the lieutenant a few times with the handle of his fan, pointing to the two sides of the knife and axe, "Such a high mountain can be climbed? Night King's Can soldiers grow wings?"

The deputy general looked at both sides of the river and nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, my subordinates are confused, it is impossible to get people from above."

However, before he could finish his sentence, a rocket shot towards him suddenly, and sank into the deck with a puff, licking with the tongue of fire.

Wei Yuande's terrified eyes widened. Before he could react, he saw countless rockets shooting towards the ship board and the soldiers. As soon as the river wind blew, a raging fire erupted, and the entire river The warship suddenly fell into chaos.

At this moment, Wei Yuande actually forgot to dodge, the roaring rockets were reflected in his terrified and desperate eyes, he was so frightened that he completely lost the ability to react.

It turns out that the war is more complicated, more thrilling, and more terrifying than he imagined!
In an instant, all he could do was regret, was he worthy of taking such a risk? He shouldn't have come, and shouldn't have underestimated the enemy!
Wei Yuande was frightened, but the lieutenant had been on the battlefield after all, so he was much calmer than him. He dragged him to dodge a few arrows and said anxiously, "Your Highness, we have to abandon the ship and escape in a small boat."

Hearing the word 'escape', Wei Yuande came back to his senses, glanced at the hundreds of warships ignited by the fire, and secretly thought it was over!
With the support of the lieutenant, he staggered into the escape boat and retreated back tremblingly.

The enemy troops on the shore stopped shooting. At this time, the river was already burned. Hundreds of warships were engulfed in flames, and the flames rolled up thick smoke straight into the sky.

Soldiers who had no time to escape either died in the sea of ​​flames, or jumped into the river and splashed in the water. Of the 10,000+ soldiers, only [-] to [-] escaped.

"Your Highness, what about the soldiers in the water?" The lieutenant was shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't even meet him face-to-face. His Royal Highness had already been defeated by the Night King.

"They can't die." Wei Yuande's voice was low and depressed, "They are all sailors who can swim, and they will be fine when they swim to both sides."

"But without a boat, they can't retreat." The lieutenant's tone was full of helplessness, "If they can't retreat, they can only become prisoners. They used to be under General Wei Liang."

What does this mean? It means that if these people are captured by the Night King, they will definitely become the Night King.

Wei Yuande gritted his teeth, "Leave them alone, retreat first."

There is no other way but to retreat. Run for your life first, what if you are ambushed again? He doesn't want to die here.

In this way, hundreds of small boats retreated to Tongzhou.

"I don't know how the battle in Wuyin Mountain is going." The lieutenant said worriedly, "If the other side loses, what should we do?"

Sitting on the side of the boat, Wei Yuande lowered his head and was full of frustration. He thought that the crush would not even see the enemy's figure, and he was defeated like this.

It was only at this moment that I remembered General Niu's words and mobilized an army of 50 to defeat the Night King in one fell swoop.

If he had listened to Niu Zhi's words, he would have directly dispatched troops to attack from Wuyin Mountain, this should be the most correct way of attack.

However, it was too late, and now I only hope that Niu Zhi can win.

The deputy general continued to analyze: "If General Niu does not win, Tongzhou may have fallen. Once Tongzhou falls, will the Night King surround us in front?"

Wei Yuande became anxious now, "General Niu only brought [-] soldiers, it is very likely that he will fall~~"

Just as he was talking, a half-sized merchant ship sailed ahead, and Niu Zhi, who was defeated and injured, stood on the ship.

Last night Niu Zhi led [-] soldiers in an attempt to force his way out of Wuyin Mountain, but was killed by the King of the Night's troops.

After the defeat, he guessed that the Night King would attack the prince back and forth, so he hurriedly grabbed a merchant ship to report to the prince.

"His Royal Highness~~" After rescuing Wei Yuande from the small boat, Niu Zhi knelt down to Wei Yuande dejectedly, "Ye Wang created a crossbow that shoots multiple arrows, and our army was defeated~~ Now he has led the army Breaking into Tongzhou."

"Tongzhou can't go back? So, wouldn't the Night King send troops to block the river mouth?" Wei Yuande's eyes were frightened.

"So Your Highness, we can't go any further." Niu Zhi said, looking towards the bank of the west river, pointing to the front, "We can only dock there, enter the border of the Western Region along that mountain road, and retreat to Luozhou by detour."

Wei Yuande's face was extremely ugly, and he was enveloped by a deep sense of failure, and he nodded weakly for a while.

Half an hour later, Wei Yuande and his party abandoned the boat and fled into the Western Regions.

Not long after, dozens of large ships went down the river.

Ji Xun stood at the bow of the boat, and the river wind blew over his godlike handsome face, which was dazzlingly beautiful.

He embraced his woman from behind, and said in a loud voice, "Go, Yuu, go with your husband to pick up the captives."

"Pick up captives? How do you pick them up?" Shen Yuan didn't know what happened on the river, but felt that Ji Xun said the word "picking up" very easily, just like picking up fish and shrimp.

"How to pick it up? You will know later." Ji Xun rubbed his chin on the top of Shen Yuan's head, and said softly.

After driving forward for about half an hour, Shen Yuan exclaimed in shock.

"Sure enough, I really picked up prisoners!"

I saw that the river under the cliff in front of me was crowded with wet Dasheng soldiers, throwing away their helmets and armor, and they were in a panic.

And those warships had already caught fire and sank without a trace.
