? On the north bank of the Yangtze River, Yuwen Wen held a thousand-mile mirror and looked at the battle situation on the river. His own vehicles and ships defeated the Chen army's vehicles and ships. The subsequent scene made many people confused: the intact Chen army's main fleet then retreated.

Retreatment before the enemy has been a difficult thing since ancient times. Chen's army just wanted to retreat because of the frustration of the vanguard. It seemed incredible to the "oncrowds". It was easy to squeeze together so many ships retreated together. Then, the Zhou army rushed up with fire, which was basically the end of the destruction of the entire army.

"Do not retreat or fight if it should be done." Yuwen Wen sneered. He saw everything clearly with the Qianli Mile Mile, and the retreating Chen Jun obviously did not use all his strength.

"Could Chen be hesitating?" Zhang Yu asked with a tough forehead. Of course he could see something was wrong, but now the Langzhu needs a 'knowing' to lead the following text. The soldiers guarding next to him are all stupid people, and only he can do this kind of work.

"Of course not, there must be something strange about it." Yuwen Wen was very helpful, and he knew that Zhang Yu must have seen it. Asking that kind of question was purely cooperation.

"So, what's strange..." Zhang Yu cooperated with the Langzhu with a bitter face. Seeing the soldiers next to him tilted their ears curiously, he felt that his IQ was superior.

"Of course it's to lure the enemy... no, it's to lure our army to chase after him." Yuwen Wen said with a smile, and finally had a open opportunity to "preach" and he would not waste it.

"Uh, envoy, these birds are defeated, why are you still luring the enemy?" a soldier asked foolishly.

Yuwen Wen began to explain: It was the same as the wind and water. The Chen army warships moved first, but the Zhou army warships that moved later could catch up. The distance between the two sides was shortened for a while, but later remained unchanged. Either the Zhou army warships were powerless, or the Chen army warships were deliberately slow.

The soldiers asked again what would happen if this continued. Could it be that everyone chased and rushed forward and went all the way to Jiangzhou? Could it be that the official army could take the opportunity to take over the entire Shangkou?

Zhang Yu said that he would chase after Fengkou. The Fengkou was more than 200 miles away from the Xisai Mountain and River Road. Everyone chased and fled all the way, but when they arrived at Fengkou, they would probably lose their strength to paddle.

A group of guards scratched their heads. They really couldn't figure out what Chen Jun intended to "tempt the enemy" like this. Zhang Yu had his own judgment, but he would not be so stupid as to steal the limelight from the man-in-law.

"Weiyuankou is more than twenty miles downstream of Xisai Mountain. Maybe Chen Jun ambushed fire boats or something." Yuwen Wen expressed his opinion, "When our army chased us all the way, we unknowingly passed Weiyuankou. After the fire boats rushed out, they were behind our army and were smooth sailing."

"It's over twenty miles, and it's within half an hour." Zhang Yu added.

"If our army pursues, they can turn defeat into victory. If our army stops, they can retreat safely and not lose money at all times, that is, they can ensure profits from drought and flood."

Seeing that the soldiers all realized, Yuwen Wen had no sense of accomplishment. Chen Jun’s plan was very careful. If the commander of the Zhou army did not investigate, it would be a conspiracy. If the commander of the Zhou army saw through it, it would be a conspiracy.

Yuwen Wen was making a mysterious comeback, not because he wanted to lean on the front of these soldiers to show off his face, but just to make the soldiers think more. Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was almost brewing, he ordered the beacon to be released.

"Also, let them turn that big winch!"

Their place is in the riverside camp near Cehukou. This camp was the Chen army stronghold not long ago. Because the Zhou army had stationed thousands of people, the Chen army's warships passed by did not send anyone to "snatch a handful". At this time, the beacon tower of the camp had already lit up the beacon, and a huge winch was rotating on the open space in the village.

More than a hundred soldiers were pushing the winch, but even so, it seemed very difficult to push the winch. They all looked red and sweaty. Those who didn't know about it thought they were not doing anything.

As the winch slowly rotated, a thick iron chain gradually stretched straight, and the iron chain extended from the winch and sank into the water at the riverside not far away.

"Come and chase me. When I chase me, I will let you hehe." Yuwen Wen said to himself. He looked at the Chen Jun fleet that was about to retreat to the river in front of him and said with a grin: "Dare you dare to run? I will chase you now, and then hehe!"

......

On the river surface, Chen Jun warships were retreating in an orderly manner. The big ships did not even turn the bow, and they all sailed down the feng shui. The oars and oarsmen equipped on the boat did not work hard, and they were too lazy to move unless Shangguan ordered them.

"Don't be fast, don't be slow. You must act according to the orders. If anyone dares to do anything randomly, be careful of eating whips!" The general shouted loudly. These young and strong boaters were all civilians who temporarily recruited the army. They were both stupid and stupid. They said too much and didn't understand and said less lazy. Only whips could make them remember.

After cursing, seeing the young and strong timid silent words, the general snorted and walked towards the bow of the boat. When he saw the fierce god walking away, someone started to speak in a low voice.

"What's going on? Moving forward and retreating. Could it be that the battle ahead was defeated?" asked a thin man. The boatmen were paddling in the cabin. Outside the small side window, they saw water but water, and they could not see the situation ahead.

"Who knows, just follow the orders and what does winning or losing have to do with us? Saving your life is important." A tall man next to him said. He was summoned by the government to go to war with the army in the same village.

This is very important. If the official army wins a battle, it is okay. If it is defeated, you have to row a boat and run away. If you escape slowly and are chased by someone, you have to jump into the water and escape as soon as possible.

They are all fishermen in Pengli Lake. They make a living by fishing in the lake. Although their lives are a little hard, they have aquatic products. On weekdays, they have developed a good nature for their water by sailing in the lake to make life. Even if they are fluttering in the Yangtze River, they are not afraid.

Whether the official army wins or not has nothing to do with them. Anyway, being able to go home alive is the most important thing, so they pay special attention to the movements outside the cabin.

"This is walking downstream, it seems that the front is really defeated." The tall man shook his head.

"Defeated? Then why don't you row a boat quickly? Are you waiting for Zhou Jun to catch up with me like this?" asked the thin man.

"In my opinion, I'm really waiting for Zhou Jun to catch up."

Seeing the people next to him looking at him, the tall man mysteriously said that something was wrong with Wei Yuankou downstream. He had a familiar army and went to Wei Yuankou, as if the official army was urging something.

"Is it because I want to attract Zhou Jun to Wei Yuankou and then take the way out?" Some people's eyes lit up, and the rest of them also had a clear expression.

Most of them are fishermen, so another side job of fishermen is also done from time to time. On weekdays, they sail in rivers and lakes, and meet or carry alone business trips, many of them turn into water bandits who kill without blinking.

The honest farmer who usually farms may temporarily become a bandit and robber, and then go alone to do business, so it is normal for fishermen to temporarily become part-time jobs as water bandits. If they do too much of this kind of thing, they have great experience in how to set up an ambush.

"Then those Zhou troops are all fools. You can't guess that there might be ambush in Wei Yuankou, right?"

"God knows, maybe it's the one-legged bronze man who is commanding the navy. How can that guy know the twists and turns on the water?"

"One-legged bronze man? I heard that he ate human flesh!" Someone continued the conversation, and the name of the One-legged bronze man was spread to Pengli Lake. Common people like to spread this kind of absurd rumor the most.

"I also heard that he forced a snatch of a girl from the house, hehe." Of course, the focus of some rough man is different. When it comes to the topic of the one-legged bronze man, it becomes a bit crooked. No one cares about the current situation anymore. Everyone is discussing the one-legged bronze man in a 'hehe', and all kinds of popular jokes are emerging one after another.

They were in the cabin, but the people on the deck were not in such a good mood because unexpected changes occurred on the river.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!" A general shouted loudly, and a group of soldiers gathered at the stern of the ship, pointing to the direction of the warship and whispering. When he saw Shangguan scolding, he reported what he saw.

"Have the water flow on the river changed?" The general was a little confused when he heard this. He walked to the stern of the boat and looked at the river in front. After a glance, he found that something was wrong. The water flow on the river was obviously not right.

It seemed that something was under the water. Judging from the water flowing everywhere, the thing was quite large.

"There are reefs? Sandbanks? This is impossible!"

Although the Yangtze River surface is wide, it should not be taken care of when sailing. Some dangerous shoals, reefs and sandbanks in the river should be avoided. Otherwise, if the light is stranded, the heavy is overturned or the reef is sunk, the river surface is not covered or the reef is sunk. However, there is no such thing on the river surface near Xisai Mountain.

"No...it won't be the Dragon King, right?" Someone said tremblingly. The changes in the water flow on the river surface became more and more obvious. Something seemed to be floating under the water, and it seemed to be horizontal in the water. This situation made people shudder.

There are definitely no reefs or sandbanks on the surface of Xisai Mountain, so the long floating objects are abnormal. Maybe it is a big snake or the legendary dragon. If these things are really given across the surface of the river, then everyone will not be able to escape and be buried in the fish's belly.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The general scolded loudly. Although he looked calm, he was also shocked and suspicious. This situation was incredible. He did not want to believe that there were dragons or big snakes, but this situation made him unable to explain.

Suddenly, there were noises on both sides, and people on the warships on both sides were panic. He looked up at both sides of the river, and then was stunned: on the water surface near the river on both sides, a strip rose out of the water surface.

One end was connected to the direction of Xisai Mountain on the south bank and the other end was connected to the direction of Jiangbei Camp. Seeing this scene, he felt uneasy and was suddenly relieved. Before the answer could come out, the soldiers at the stern of the boat burst into a loud "boiling".

"Iron cable! It's an iron cable! There's an iron cable rising from the water! It's a Hengjiang iron cable!"

"How is this possible? How is this possible!"

An iron cable rose from under the water and suddenly ran across the river. On one end was Xisai Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and on the other end was Shangzhai Village on the north bank of the Yangtze River. This iron cable directly blocked Chen Jun's retreat.

"This is impossible. Didn't the Hengjiang iron chains in Xisai Mountain have been broken by the Zhou army..." Someone said with a pale face. The iron chains crossed the river, which means that most warships will be stopped. There are still Zhou army chasing them closely behind, and the situation is not good.

"Impossible, impossible!" A general roared, "Our army has checked the side of the river on the northern foot of Xisai Mountain. All three original iron chains have been removed. Where did this iron chain come from!"

It’s not that he couldn’t understand, but that the situation was changing too quickly. The iron chain in front of him was actually crossing the river. It was a trap buried by the Zhou army. The iron chain was originally sunk under the river, so Chen’s warship could pass without any obstacles before.

Now that the other party turned the winch and straightened the iron cable, he finally rose to the river. He couldn't figure out why such a long iron cable was safe and sound. It was not broken by the river. Now that it was scattered across the river, it would kill the official fleet.

"The Zhou army is catching up, their ship speed is speeding up, and they are about to catch up!" The lookout hand on the mast shouted at the top of his voice. The news came in an uproar, and the soldiers looked at each other and then at the generals.

"What are you doing when you stand there! Take an axe, a knife, and take everything you can to cut the iron chain!"

In a hurry, Chen Jun soldiers took out all the tools they could take to deal with the approaching Hengjiang iron chain. However, at this moment, the sound of drums suddenly sounded loudly on the north bank of the river. Looking up, the morale of the army was in chaos.
