A warship sailed out of the thin mist in the early morning. The Chu Navy stood on the bow of the ship, staring at the ship that was slowly magnifying in his pupils. It was a smuggling ship.

In the past two years, trade with Han has continued to expand, especially silk. Due to the strong control of Fan Zhuo and his team, Chu State received low prices and sold it to Han State at high prices to make huge profits. While seizing a large amount of wealth, it also destroyed the desperate risks of countless smugglers. A ship of silk was transported from Chu State to Han State, which was enough to make a person with nothing worry-free life in Chu State for the rest of his life. Such high profits naturally made countless people tempted. Even though Chu State kept increasing its crackdown every year, smugglers still could not be banned.

The main way for smugglers is to pass through water. The land route is basically impossible. Smuggling from land on a large scale is basically a death sentence in Chu State, but the walk is different. A ship of silk can directly reach the Han State as long as you avoid the inspection of the navy. In Han State, whether it is smuggled or formal channels, as long as you pay taxes, you can sell it in the Han State. In order to curb this situation, the navy of Chu State continued to expand its scale and vigorously cracked down on water route smuggling.

From paper, the Chu Navy is now very powerful, with hundreds of ships of all sizes and tens of thousands of soldiers. The Chu State is located in the south with many rivers, so there is no shortage of candidates for naval soldiers.

But even so, it is still banned. Although large-scale smuggling has disappeared, sporadic smuggling still occurs from time to time. However, these smugglers have now become shortcuts for naval officers and soldiers to get rich. By arresting one, they can privately divide the wealth of the ship.

Zhai Qing lost a lot of money in gambling a few days ago, but now he owes a full account. In order to pay off the account, he could only throw his mind to the smuggler. Regardless of his hard work, he personally took a warship and patrolled the river and waited for the rabbit. He never even returned to the port at night. He smuggled away the guy who was desperate for his life, most of whom he was sailing at night, and the other time he returned to the camp. The debt-compulsing person came to his door immediately.

It was pitiful that he really caught a smuggling boat. When the lights on the warship were lit and the ship that was still sailing on the dark river was inspected, the ship actually ran away.

Since the signs were revealed, the smuggling ship also lit up and ran away with all its might. It was caught by the Chu Navy. It was not as simple as confiscating property. They wanted money and life. The goods were confiscated on the spot and people beheaded on the spot.

What annoyed Zhai Qing was that the sailors on this smuggling ship were obviously veterans. Not only were they extremely familiar with the waterway, but they also had extremely good boat handling skills. If it weren't for his naval warship's performance being better than the smuggling ship, and the other party was heavily loaded, today's trip would have been a waste of time. But even so, after chasing him in the middle of the night, he was just getting closer a little bit. The damn thing was always the best. While helping him, he was also helping the smuggling ship.

When it was dawn, the fortune was finally started. The wind direction changed, and both sides were against the wind, so they showed their advantages. The ship was full of young and strong soldiers, and the other party was heavily loaded. The distance between the two sides was finally seen being greatly closer. However, the person on the smuggling boat was also a cruel person. While escaping, he actually threw the silk from the boat off the boat one by one. Zhai Qing's eyes were full of fire. His heart was bleeding. All he threw was his money! After grabbing the other party, he must cut these smugglers who killed thousands of knives into pieces.

"Try harder and chase me. If you catch up with each person, you will get ten taels of silver." Zhai Qing roared.

With the heavy reward, the sailors all put in full force, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer. Zhai Qing estimated the distance and probably at the corner in front, he could catch up with this damn smuggling boat.

The sailors on the boat also cheered, and after chasing for a while for a while, it was finally over. Although it was a good wind before, the sailors on the boat were exhausted at this moment. They were finally able to catch up with these smugglers and get a large amount of silver rewards. Everyone was smiling happily.

"Can't run anymore? Haha, I want to slip away from my palm, don't even think about it!" Zhai Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, directed the warship to chase after him for a while, and his legs were sore and weak.

The smuggling ship in front seemed to be insane, or they used all their strength to clean up. At this time, they drifted on the river surface, allowing the water to slowly carry the ship forward.

Finally arrived at the bend, and the river surface in front was suddenly visible, but at this moment, Zhai Qing jumped up like a cat with his tail. He finally understood why the smuggling ship in front of him didn't run away, not because they couldn't run, but because on the side of the bend, the warship covering the sky and the sun was bulging with sails and sailing towards him. On the top of the mast, the yellow dragon flag fluttering in the morning breeze was swaying, showing his hideousness in the wind.

A red sun jumped from the peaks of the mountains in the distance, and the dazzling sunlight reflected Zhai Qing's eyes. At that moment, he almost thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes. The next moment, he screamed: "Han Navy, turn the rudder, raise the sail, and escape quickly!"

Although they are both navy troops, Cui Qing knew very well that the two sides were on this river. The Han navy was very domineering and often crossed the border to the Chu State. The two sides had conflicts, but after several confrontations, the Chu navy never dared to provoke the other party again. The other party's ship was basically larger than the Chu navy's ship, and the weapons on the ship were even more amazing. The Han navy had a corner of the bow and the ship gang had steel plates. Even if they did not use those weapons, the impact alone would make the Chu navy's ship sink into the river to feed shrimps and turtles.

What's more, now the other party is a large group, and he only has one ship. Not to mention that the other party is a wolf, he is a sheep, even if the other party is just a group of sheep and he is a evil wolf, he can still scratch himself to death today.

The Han navy was coming in large numbers, which meant that the Han people were going to go to war with Chu. No matter how stupid Zhai Qing was, he knew that something was wrong now. "Escape quickly, hurry up, if you still want to live." He shouted loudly.

The exhausted Chu Navy officers and soldiers also understood their situation and used all their strength to feed themselves. The warship drew an arc on the river surface and turned around extremely lightly. At this moment, I am afraid that I could not reach the level of today if I practiced countless times. Because the sails that had fallen against the wind had risen at an astonishing speed, one by one, the sailors burst out of their own small universe, far beyond their usual level, and fled wildly on the way.

And the smuggling ship drifted on the river surface, and the smugglers on the ship stood blankly on the deck, staring at the dark warship that was boundlessly pushed towards him.

"It's going to fight, it's going to fight. The Han people are fighting!" the smuggler murmured.

"Boss, think of a solution, otherwise we will all be in the river to feed fish!" A big and round man screamed wildly. His screams finally woke up the smuggler. "Raising the white flag, no, no, no, playing flag language, and using common flag language. We are not enemies, we are just ordinary people, ordinary people."

The smuggler screamed.

What came towards him was the Great Han Inland River Naval Commander commanded by Li Quan. In order to maintain the suddenness of the attack, Li Quan chose to sail at night. In the past few years, the Inland River Naval Commander under his command has clearly understood the hydrological conditions on the river surface. On several occasions, he even disguised himself as he walked through the waterway. Now, even with his eyes closed, he could clearly know that there were dangerous shoals and reefs on this waterway.

Everything went smoothly. In the dark night, such a large formation was quite dangerous, but fortunately, Li Quan started planning this attack a few years ago, and made detailed plans for all possible dangerous situations, and passed through them without any dangers along the way.

But I didn't expect that when I was about to approach the target, I actually encountered the Chu army's naval battleship.

"Commander, the one in front should be a smuggling ship. How should I deal with them?" asked the adjutant beside him.

Li Quan waved his hand and said, "Speak the flag, don't worry about this smuggling ship. Team A divided the two fast ships to speed up and chase after them, destroying the escaped Chu navy."

Zhai Qing was frightened to find that in the Han Navy fleet behind him, two warships were coming out from the crowd and chasing him quickly. Unlike the Chu Navy, these two warships of the army were like a thousand-legged centipede. They each made dozens of slurry from the side of the ship near the water surface, and the neat rise and fall, swelling of river water.

"Quick, faster, accelerate, accelerate!" Zhai Qing shouted in panic.

The two sides chased and fled, and the officers and soldiers of the Chu Navy burst out with amazing potential. Although the distance was getting closer, the time of incense passed, and the other party still failed to catch up with them. It seemed that the other party had lost patience. With a loud bang, Zhai Qing saw the Han army warship on the right behind suddenly floundered backwards. As a thick smoke rose, a black thing rushed towards his warship.

"Flash, left, turn left!" The Chu army warship turned left, and on their original channel, a huge column of water soared into the sky. Zhai Qing, who had just escaped a disaster, couldn't come back to his senses. The Han army warship behind the left was also rising. This time he finally had no good luck. The black guy hit his ship gang, with a huge roar. Zhai Qing saw the strong ship gang being knocked out of a big hole while the underwater cabin was making a tragic scream.

The ship lost control and suddenly crossed the river.
