"Don't withdraw, just hold it for a while." Wu Zhi's indifferent voice resounded throughout the city tower.

"General......" The guards were stunned, thinking that they had misheard.

"Don't go and give the order yet!" Wu Zhi didn't wait for the guards to be verbose, and directly drank with a cold face.

Wu Zhi's majesty was known to everyone here in Qinghua, and the guards did not dare to delay any longer, so they immediately surrendered and left.

Nangong Xianming looked at Wu Zhi with a cold face, but he smiled and said: "Brother Wu has a good mind, big brother admires!" ”

Wu Zhi turned to look at him and said helplessly, "Big brother, don't make fun of the little brother." ”

Nangong Xianming chuckled twice, and then said: "I don't know what my brother said about borrowing troops just now......

Wu Zhi frowned, hesitated for a while, and nodded in response: "Don't worry, eldest brother, what the younger brother said will never be broken." As long as we can escape the encirclement and suppression of the Dongjiang Army this time, we can discuss the matter of borrowing troops. ”

Although Nangong Xianming was a little unhappy in his heart, he was still smiling on the surface, and he thanked him: "So the eldest brother is relieved." ”

Wu Zhi was obviously absent-minded at the moment, he nodded, and his thoughts had drifted to the battlefield in front of him.

"Boom ......"

In the open sea of Qinghua, the cannon fodder deliberately sent by Mao Jingwen and Wu Zhi was having a good time. Wu Zhi's hand-waving warship was almost a live target at the moment, surrounded by Mao Jingwen's fleet and bombarded indiscriminately.

As for the counterattack, it is almost negligible, Wu Zhijun has completely lost the initiative on the battlefield and has been beaten to the point that he cannot raise his head.

On the Wu warship, the general in charge of commanding the operation was Li Wu, one of the ten elites under Wu Zhi. He stood in the bow of the ship, his binoculars keeping an eye on the front-line operations.

Behind him were more than a dozen henchmen, and from time to time a sentry would come to report on the battle. Li Wu's brows furrowed deeper every time he heard the report.

He had expected the strength of the Dongjiang Army's naval division, but when he really started a war with it. Li Wu found that the strength of the Dongjiang Army Naval Division was far stronger than he imagined.

Especially the hot air balloon that is constantly circling back and forth in the air at the moment, that thing has no weapons at all. I could only watch the hot air balloons set fire to the ship.

Although the artillery fire of the Dongjiang Army was very sharp, it was definitely not an easy task to directly sink a ship with artillery. There were definitely a lot of shells needed, and it was with this consideration that before Li Wu went to war, he expected that the Dongjiang army would only be able to destroy about twenty warships at most.

But the reality now is that the two sides have only been fighting for half an hour. The number of ships that have been destroyed on the side of Le Vu has reached thirty. The Dongjiang army became more and more courageous, and the artillery fire became more and more accurate, and the Wu army had reached a life-and-death juncture, and it was time to immediately scatter and flee.

But Li Wu did not receive an order from Wu Zhi to retreat, and what he received was to ask him to hold on for a while. According to the current offensive of the Dongjiang Army, it is estimated that after a while, it will be a matter of two questions whether he can retreat with his whole body.

Throwing away the binoculars in his hand, Li Wu immediately shouted at his subordinates behind him: "Turn around and retreat immediately." ”

Woowoo......

The horn of the Wu army's retreat began to echo on the battlefield, and the warships of the Wu army began to slowly turn around and prepare to escape in the sound of the horns, braving the artillery fire of the warships of the Dongjiang Army's naval division.

"General Qiyu, the enemy ships are beginning to retreat, are we going all out to pursue them?" A general reported to Mao Jingwen.

"I want to run, no way!"

Mao Jingwen roared angrily, and ordered in high spirits: "The whole army pursues and takes them all down, hahaha......"

"Yes, General!" More than a dozen generals immediately dispersed in a hurry, each returning to his own battleship.

In an instant, the warships of the Dongjiang Army's naval division began to sound the horn of attack, and the roar of artillery became more intense, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The ten hot air balloons in the air were even more cheerful, directly rushing towards the fleeing enemy ship to pursue it unscrupulously. In the excited pursuit of the Dongjiang Army, the tight formation began to appear scattered.

It may be due to the lack of defeat of the Wu army, so the generals of the Dongjiang Army did not take these situations into account. They still frantically urged their subordinates to chase after the enemy ships.

The melee had already appeared, and the enemy troops who had not had time to flee were soon besieged by the Dongjiang Army warships, and in the roar of 10,000 cannons, more and more enemy ships began to appear and sank.

Li Wu, who was lucky to escape, was holding a telescope in his hand at the moment, looking at his subordinates who were besieged by the Dongjiang Army in the distance, and he had palpitations.

"Count how many of our ships are there at once?" Li Wu didn't reply, and ordered directly.

"It's the general!" The two henchmen immediately gave up their hands and left.

Li Wu frowned, paused for a moment, and still shouted: "Send a message to the marshal, inform him, and we will go back in a while." ”

The herald immediately departed. Only then did Li Wu calm down, breathe a sigh of relief, and then muttered: "The Dongjiang Army is indeed powerful......

The sound of artillery and killing in the rear was still resounding, but Li Wu no longer cared about the losses of those warships. Just now, some subordinates have come to report that more than 30 warships have escaped.

Although he was very distressed by the loss of more than 60 warships, he escaped safely. And those besieged men and horses are all pirates who have been recruited, and it doesn't matter how many people die, as long as they go out a few more times afterwards, they will be able to recruit enough people.

This is also the reason why Wu Zhi used these people as cannon fodder to train the Dongjiang Army.

Le Vu escaped unharmed, while the Dongjiang Army continued to besiege the enemy forces that had not been able to escape. It was not found that the commander of the enemy army had fled.

Mao Jingwen was very proud, and he won the victory and directly annihilated almost seventy enemy warships, which was enough for him to win this competition. After being happy, he quickly regained his composure, and he still understood what poor Kou Mo was chasing. Mao Jingwen really wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy army and fight directly to Qinghua's lair.

Fortunately, he still has self-knowledge and knows that he can't underestimate the enemy. After hastily cleaning up the battlefield, he announced his triumphant return. On the way home, Mao Jingwen was still not at ease, so he still sent a reconnaissance ship to spy on Chen Jisheng's situation.

At this time, the situation in Hanoi was not optimistic, although the pirates entrenched there were not small. But unlike Wu Zhi here in Qinghua, he is the one who holds the military power. In Hanoi, more than a dozen groups of pirates are jointly in charge, and this is a phenomenon, that is, when the Dongjiang army hits their lair. These people still haven't made a decision to fight or flee!

Chen Jisheng and the others fought all the way into Hanoi, approaching the enemy's lair, and almost encountered decent obstacles. This made him very boring, and according to the reconnaissance of the hot air balloon in the air, Chen Jisheng also learned that those pirate leaders actually started to fight in the nest, and their own people fought first.
