The water village along the river was originally the garrison of the Hengjiang Navy under the Division, and in addition to the camp where the water supply army was stationed, there were also workshops for repairing ships and other facilities on the shore. And almost all of these things were moved into the city before the siege, and those who couldn't be moved were destroyed on the spot, so there were only a few empty houses left on the shore next to the water village.

Zhang Rongshi, a member of the navy, was standing outside an empty room at the moment, he was only wearing a middle coat, because he was far away, he could not hear the harassment in the city here, he had slept soundly, but the explosion gradually became louder, and he was woken up and turned around.

There was the direction of the wharf, and the camp outside the city should have had an accident, he subconsciously looked back at his naval army, and there was no movement in the dark. The red light on the river outside the village flickered, he knew that it was a few small boats on patrol back and forth, and there was no sign of lights in the direction of the other side of the river.

Perhaps it is the nature of the northern man, after working in the navy for so long, Zhang Rongshi still prefers to sleep on the shore, although this makeshift cottage is far less comfortable than the building on his boat. But now, he knew that he could not sleep, because there was a sound of hooves, and this was the return of the man he had sent to the camp to inquire about the news.

"There are Song people out of the city to sneak attack on the big camp, and the marshal ordered us not to panic, and to guard our own villages, and the same is true for the naval army." The man fell to his knees and conveyed to him the words of the handsome Boyan.

After listening, Zhang Rongshi breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to ask the person who came about the specific situation of the camp, this person only looked at the general situation, only knew that the front camp had indeed collapsed, and the Song people had already gone out of the city to chase and kill, but the marshal had already taken countermeasures, and it should not be possible for the Song people to take advantage of it.

Front battalion? Zhang Rongshi knew that their commander was Shi Ge, who was a tough guy who was wounded in the battle of intercepting the river, and how could he be beaten to the point that the whole battalion collapsed. So where did the sky-high explosion and fire come from? The person who came couldn't say clearly, he waved his hand to let people retreat, and at this moment, another neat explosion came, almost near the dock, and the bright light that burned through the sky, I was afraid that the river side could see it.

The dark and heavy river has merged with the earth, and at first glance it seems that he doesn't know where the boundary is, but in fact, when the explosion gradually rose, Su Liuyi had already taken dozens of clippers out of the camp. He had been in this position for almost half an hour as he crouched on the bow of a ship with a group of crossbows and a few water spirits in addition to eight paddlemen.

Afraid of being noticed by the patrol boat, he didn't dare to get too close, and the rowing was also put to the lowest, just kept it from letting the boat be washed away by the river, in addition to the water flow, there was only a "tick" sound from the wrist, this thing called "Tie Sundial" was the only one in the entire Huai Army except for Li Dashuai, Su Liuyi raised his hand again and glanced at the scale above, and turned his head to look in the direction of the riverbank wharf.

Approaching the center of the river, he could clearly feel the sound of the explosion becoming clearer and clearer, and the shadow of the fire appeared in the sky from time to time, and Su Liuyi's mind appeared in the scene of the friendly troops in the city fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and the blood of the battle boiled, so that he couldn't help but hold the side of the boat and bow up, and by the way, he moved his somewhat numb feet.

"Come closer!" Su Liuyi ordered softly, and after a while, the wood pulp on both sides rowed, and the hull of the boat slid silently towards the water village on the opposite bank, and the red light in the distance slowly became larger. Su Liuyi estimated the distance in his heart, and only when the figure of the sergeant on the enemy patrol ship could be seen clearly, did he make a sound to stop the ship from moving forward.

"You go down first, swim close before you can do it together, try not to make a sound, get to the back of the boat, don't let the lights go out, you change into their clothes, understand?" Su Liuyi pointed to the two slow-moving patrol boats and said, this is not a planned action, but his inspiration, once there is a mistake, he can only force the village immediately.

Despite the risks, Su Liuyi decided to do so, and only the two patrol boats outside the enemy's water village were still moving, and they were extremely slow, and he estimated that the sergeants on the ships did not have much energy to observe around. The six water ghosts on Meng Chong changed into leather cushions that only showed their eyes, and with a short blade in their mouths, they slid down from the side one after another.

Su Liuyi stared at their movements a little nervously, these are the best in the army, their paddling movements in the river are very hidden, there is almost no sound, and they do not cause splashes or anything, when they are about to approach the enemy ship, the six of them dived into the water with their heads down, and there is nothing to see on the river.

Without making him wait too long, after a while, six people divided into two groups climbed onto the enemy ship from both sides, and almost at the same time, they jumped up with the side of the boat. With a few low shouts and a small "plop" falling into the water, Su Liuyi knew that they had succeeded, and according to the agreed signal, the lights on the patrol boat shook left and right a few times, and both boats stopped.

"The order goes down, the fireboat takes the lead, and the rest of the ships follow so-and-so, ready to rush in." Once the fire broke out, no matter what actions the other side made, Li Tingzhi would immediately order someone to cross the river and directly attack the dock under Yanziji.

The order was passed down, and one by one the fireboats loaded with grass and fire oil sailed out, such boats with iron tips in front and only two people to operate, and an empty boat in tow behind them for the purpose of escape. The remaining Meng Chong, led by Su Liuyi, followed behind, and at this moment, a huge explosion came from the direction of the dock, and the firelight reflected half of the night sky.

"Now, pass on the order, and the whole army will set off!" The explosion sounded like thunder, the red light was clearly visible, Li Tingzhi, who was standing outside the big camp by the river, immediately understood that this was the signal that was said during the call, and the surrounding Miao Zaicheng, Xu Wende and other generals all hugged their fists and said yes when they heard this, and walked to their own team according to the determined arrangement.

Although it was unreal because it was dark, the huge scene of the thousand sails race still made Li Tingzhi feel his heart fluctuate, and the regret of not being able to save Xiangyang City would never be repeated here, he held the hilt of his sword, strode towards his boat, and his soldiers followed with a big flag.

"Oh no, there's a fire in the village!" Without the slightly exaggerated call of the soldiers, Zhang Rongshi also clearly saw that dozens of fires suddenly ignited in his water village, and the one that burned the most violently was his own boat, the largest building ship in the navy.

For a while, Zhang Rongshi's breathing was about to stop, this was definitely not caused by an accident, the Song people came to steal the camp! In front of his eyes, the appearance of the general who had fought against him earlier, he was stunned and couldn't say a word, outside the stockade in the distance, two patrol ships were still shuttling back and forth, were they blind? He was so angry that he wanted to cut the men on the ship in two.

The soldiers were still shouting "fire fighting", Zhang Rongshi only felt a buzzing in his head, dizzy, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, muttering something in his mouth. A personal soldier supported him, bent down sideways and listened carefully, but it was two words: "It's over!" ”

Because the boats in the water village are connected, the fire was blown by the river wind, and it spread quickly, and it didn't take long for the river bank to be too hot to stand on the riverbank, and it was impossible to talk about fetching water to fight the fire. The people on the shore looked at the sky-high fire, and the sergeant on the boat who jumped into the river screaming, and knew that the tide of the navy was gone.

At this moment, Boyan was standing behind the women's wall on the third deck, looking at the explosions and fires coming more and more from the side of the camp. The instructions he passed down did not work at all, and the rout in the camp continued, and he unconsciously felt a trace of worry, and his face gradually became solemn.

After all this time, the news came back to confirm only one thing, and that was that the explosions were indeed fired from the city. Boyan no longer cared about how the Song people did it, he was only worried about where he would retreat to escape the threat of explosions.

The sky was still dark, there was still a lot of time before dawn, the night had become his worst enemy, and in this situation, the cavalry who relied on it to win could not play much role, and his opponent made the most of the weapons in his hands, making it difficult for him to fight back.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and a wave was set off on the river near the boat, which was the effect of a stone bullet falling into the water. Boyan looked into the distance suspiciously, what kind of weapon is the bottom of the city, can it fight so far, the enemy has this sharp weapon in hand, can it still besiege it?

"Handsome! Look, it's the big river, the big river. The shout behind him made Bo Yan turn his head suddenly, and he couldn't help but be stunned by the scene he saw, and a large black shadow suddenly appeared on the river surface that had been motionless, and the situation in the port gradually appeared on the lights of the ship.

A high-rise ship that was not inferior to its own boat rushed into the harbor, rushing left and right as if it were no one's land, not only using a slapstick to attack the port branches, but also firing stone bullets from the catapults on the ship, and several civilian ships had already been broken apart and sunk into the water, and the direction of the stone bombs was also aimed at their own big ship.

"Where's the water army! Where is Zhang Rongshi? Bo Yan's beard was full of anger, the chaos on the land had not been resolved, and this kind of thing happened on the water again, he began to suspect that he was still not bringing the invincible army a few months ago, but seeing the same surprised expressions of the pro-army, Bo Yan took a look, and his face finally changed color.

In the distance, the water army Dazhai was in flames, and its momentum was even greater than that after the explosion outside the city. Although he didn't know what had happened, he knew that it was irreparable, and for the first time in a long time, the word "defeated" appeared in his mind, and he felt a little chilling.
