284, Fire Attack

Although Wang Zhaodi promised that each fishing boat, regardless of size, would be able to get three hundred taels of silver as compensation, but few people were willing to believe her, and almost all of them cursed Wang Zhaodi for being a big liar, and the purpose behind opening the waters and letting them come to fish was to snatch their boats.

But Wang Zhaodi did not stop acting, she used the sailors of the peach blossom dock to control all the fishermen, the fishermen were unarmed, naturally did not dare to resist, there were a few fishermen, threatened with death, they set the fishing boat on fire, and burned themselves in the fishing boat, but this kind of person, after all, is a very small minority, the vast majority of fishermen, are forced to choose to give in.

So Wang Zhaodi smoothly levied hundreds of fishing boats, and then classified the fishing boats according to their size, and then Zhang Jin commanded the sailors, the sulfur and sawdust and other fire-causing things, stuffed in the fishing boats, everything was ready, in a dusk, Yang Wu and Wang Zhaodi gathered all the warships in the peach blossom dock, a total of 380 warships, each warship dragged two to three fireboats, and marched towards Longmen.

The Peach Blossom Water Dock is about three thousand miles away from Longmen, and the number of warships in the Peach Blossom Water Dock is huge, so when they travel along the way, they can't hide their whereabouts, and they have walked for nearly ten days before they arrive at Longmen Shuikou, Longmen Water Village, and have already made preparations.

This was expected by Wang Zhaodi, she sat on the largest command battleship, this command battleship is the largest warship in Yang Wu's peach blossom dock, which was transformed according to the style of the ascetic boat, except for the absence of the dragon cannon on the ascetic, other equipment and weapons are all complete, so the combat effectiveness is very strong.

Longmen Water Village, on the waterway leading to Longmen, set up nine fences, the fence is made of a mixture of stone and wood, unusually strong, there are crossbowmen on it guards, to attack the Dragon Gate, you must first break through the nine-fold fence.

Yang Wu simply deployed the warships of the Peach Blossom Water Dock, and then ordered the warships to directly hit the fence, these warships are covered with many cowhides, and the bow and arrow cannot be easily shot through, and these warships are huge, with iron horns in the bow, they move clumsily, but the force of the impact is very huge.

These warships, living up to expectations, arched the nine-layer fence one by one, and the brigade behind followed closely, and it took less than half a day to break through all the nine-layer fences, and the Longmen sailors did not dare to fight because of the small number of soldiers, so they had to retreat into the Longmen Water Village.

Yang Wu still commanded the warship to rush to the Longmen Water Village, but in the Longmen Water Village, there were huge catapults, as soon as the battleship approached, the stones in the water village were like rain, and the stones were very huge, each one was like a rock, and the cowhide armor of the battleship could not resist at all, so they were all sunk.

Yang Wu saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered the trumpeter to blow the horn, and all the battleships that were attacking immediately retreated, and the people in the Longmen Water Village, seeing them retreating, all cheered, and the cheers were very huge, and Wang Zhaodi was in the battleship, and he could hear it clearly.

So Wang Zhaodi decided to use the secret weapon, she waited for dark, and then asked Zhang Jin to select the death squad, all on board the fireboat, by the night, a group of the smallest fireships broke away from the battleship, heading to Longmen, these ships are very small, so they can be rowed very quickly with manpower, plus it is night, and when the sentinels of Longmen find them, they are already very close to the water village of Longmen, catapults are no longer able to attack, and the sailors on the water village can only shoot with bows and crossbows.

Many of the death squads on the fire boat were immediately killed by random arrows, but there were also many death squads, before being shot to death, the fire boat was ignited, and the fire on the water immediately shone brightly, and those fire boats rushed up and burned in the Longmen Water Village, and they were about to ignite the wooden stakes of the Water Village, but the sailors on the Longmen Water Village took out spears, long sticks and other weapons, and pushed the fire boat away from the wall of the Water Village together, so the first wave of fire attack was not able to completely ignite the Longmen Water Village.

So Zhang Jin immediately put the second wave of fireboats into battle, this wave of fireboats, the hull is larger, the number is more, plus with the exploration of the small boat in front, they have already understood the weakness of the defense on the opposite side of the water village, so after this wave of fire ships rushed out, it was still far away from the Longmen Water Village, and they were all set on fire, only to see a raging fire, rushing towards the Longmen Water Village, the defenders on the water village finally couldn't resist, many people were burned by the fire, screaming and falling into the water, the strong city wall of the Longmen Water Village was also all ignited, after the wooden stakes were burned, they could not bear the weight of the stone wall, so the city wall collapsed, and the seemingly impregnable water village collapsed in an instant。

Zhang Jin and Yang Wu immediately led the warship of the Peach Blossom Water Dock together, rushed forward, and rushed straight into the Longmen Water Village by the light of the fire on the fire boat, starting from the Water Village, killing all the way to the camp on the shore, the masters in the Dragon Gate, all of them were transferred, and there was only one leader, just the eighth master of Longmen, this person was under Yang Wu's sword, and he couldn't even resist a move, so he was cut throat by Yang Wu's sword.

Yang Wu cut off the head of the eighth master, and then hung high on the huge mast of his warship, the sailors of Longmen Water Village, seeing that their leader was dead, threw away their weapons and surrendered, some people who were loyal to Longmen set fire to the main hall on the shore, and wanted to burn the palace that Longmen had built, but the sailors of the Peach Blossom Water Dock swarmed up, killed them all, and then extinguished the fire.

The melee has been continuous, although the peach blossom dock has mastered the overall situation, but sporadic fierce battles, or continue to happen, from dark to dawn, and then from early morning to noon, before the real end of the battle, Yang Wu and Zhang Jin, the two teams led by the two, together into the Dragon Gate of the Dragon Palace, here is the palace of the supreme leader of the Dragon Gate, Yang Wu personally changed the money flag of the money fort on the top floor of the Dragon Hall to the Tianlong flag of the Peach Blossom Water Dock.

Wang Zhaodi successfully moved into the Shenlong Palace, she wrote the list for the first time, to appease the people in the Dragon Gate, she issued a strict military order, any sailors in the peach blossom dock, shall not slaughter the common people, unauthorized residence in the house, rob finances, insult women people, she is all dealt with with the most severe military law.

She appointed Zhang Jin as a patrol envoy to patrol all over Longmen, so as to ensure that the sailors of the Peach Blossom Water Dock did not dare to rob and destroy without permission, which made the ordinary people of Longmen a little at ease, many of them voluntarily surrendered, and then Wang Zhaodi took the hot iron and issued two decisions, one is an amnesty, all the prisoners in the Longmen prison are acquitted, and the other is to let all the managers of the Longmen Prison all perform their original duties, her two decisions, so that everyone who is still alive in Longmen cheered, they did not expect Wang Zhaodi to treat them so favorably。

Wang Zhaodi's three decisions immediately made her sit on the throne of the supreme commander of the Dragon Gate, among the Dragon Gate, the common people, no less than 100,000, this is a huge wealth, Wang Zhaodi just a few days, all in the pocket!

Wang Zhaodi opened the vault of Longmen, and there were a lot of treasures inside, Wang Zhaodi took out all the treasures, fulfilled her promise, and paid all the fishermen waiting in the Peach Blossom Water Dock, and the rest, she gave all the rewards to the sailors of the Peach Blossom Water Dock, these sailors got the reward, and they all honestly listened to Wang Zhaodi's control, and no one violated Wang Zhaodi's military orders!
