The night was dark and starry. On the north bank of the turbulent river, the young man who held the knife in his hand tightly took another deep breath, trying to ease his excitement so that the hot blood boiling in his chest could calm down a little. In the short time he'd been leading the army behind him to here, he had lost count of how many breaths he had taken in just half an hour. If he didn't, he was afraid his chest would explode!

Xiao Qi never thought that he would one day be able to lead such an army back to take revenge. He couldn't help but glance back at the thousands of lightly armored sergeants lurking in the dark night. Just by feeling, he was confident of victory.

The boy who grew up on the bank of the Luo River is very familiar with every grass and tree here. Including where the water is deep, where the water is shallow, where the water is turbulent, and where it is gentle and passable, he knows it all in his chest, and he can reach it with his eyes closed.

The stars in the sky fell into the river, and the torches near and far were reflected. Faintly, a war horse could be seen being embraced, not far behind him. Xiao Qi knew that it was where the general was. He also knew that the princess of Qi State, who personally led this army, was there to observe the situation on the battlefield. I don't know why, but he is full of confidence that he can take revenge tonight. If he could, the boy would very much like to follow her from now on and start his own life.

And at this moment, the carefree princess wearing Rong armor has no distractions. She was looking seriously at the river ahead. There were many warships, and some noisy voices were coming from afar. The corners of her mouth involuntarily showed a sneer. The chance to break the enemy is only tonight!

For the way of the general, when you know the sky, know the place, know the people! If you are good at taking advantage of all favorable conditions and using them for your own use, you will have already seized the opportunity to win in advance.

All the words that Chu Jiangmian had ever said, Princess Sanssouci remembered in her heart. Although he didn't say much about the battlefield to her, she just didn't forget these few words.

All the way to the bank of the Luo River, although she was anxious, her mind was very calm. When she listened to all the military information she had heard, she knew in her heart that the Southern Han naval army blockading the Luohe River was not easy to deal with. With 10,000 foot soldiers against the naval army defending with strong ships, even if it can win, it will surely suffer heavy losses. However, the information provided by the blue bird made her keenly aware of the opportunity to win.

The proud and proud generals of the Southern Han Dynasty did not notice any whereabouts of the Qi army that came from the fast army. This means that they have not yet truly realized the importance of this war. Moreover, the general actually drank alcohol in the army and gathered people to celebrate? If she can't seize such a good opportunity, then she won't be a female general who doesn't let her eyebrows go!

The boy who was rescued by the blue bird really knew all the terrain in the vicinity. When she gave him a knife and made a promise. He led the Qi army to secretly march here, and the enemy scouts were like dead men, without any advance warning. In fact, all the scouts encountered along the way have indeed turned into dead people. Blue Bird led the spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion to act in advance, wiping out all the dangers of any possible leakage of military operation secrets.

On the north bank of the Luohe crossing, a few miles upstream, there is a comparatively narrow turning area. The reeds are thick, and the terrain is complex. Half of the Qi army was ordered to ambush here. When they set out from Zhongshan City, they were prepared for a tough battle and brought all their weapons. And tonight, there is a secret weapon that can be used in military affairs, and it will surely establish a special feat here.

In the past few years, outsiders have only seen Princess Sanssouci leading the more than 10,000 Qi troops to kill decisively, and tidying up this area well, naturally she has extraordinary ability. But only these Qi soldiers knew how much help King Chu Jiangmian of Zhao had provided them!

Needless to say, all kinds of material supplies are just in terms of weapons and equipment in the army, which is not inferior to the army of Zhao in the slightest. And in some respects, the special care given by King Zhao is better than that of even the most powerful armies under his command. It is precisely because of this that the combat effectiveness of the Qi army has been greatly improved, and it is famous near Zhongzhou.

And on this expedition, in addition to the sharpest weapons and crossbows of Zhao State, they also brought several large siege vehicles and more than a dozen vehicles of "fire oil" with them.

These oils are all packed in ceramic jars and are well sealed. It looks unremarkable. At the beginning, the soldiers of Qi thought it was good wine. But in reality, they are much more precious than wine. This was one of the gifts that King Zhao specially shipped from the north and gave them.

"Can these things really be used on the battlefield as well? Could it be that they are more powerful than the killer weapons in the Zhao army...... Hum! But I didn't believe it. ”

Several generals in the Qi army still remember that Princess Sanssouci looked a little unhappy when she looked at the smiling King Zhao that day. They all know the princess's mind very well. The princess actually really wanted to get the legendary "thunderbolt". This powerful weapon, which is said to have been developed by King Zhao himself, can kill people invisibly! No matter how powerful the master is, he will not have the slightest power to fight back in front of it. Although Zhao's army has not really applied it to the battlefield, many people are extremely convinced that King Zhao really has such a weapon in his hands! Because, the tragic death of several powerful elders in the Qin State was the best proof of this.

What the princess wanted to get, King Zhao didn't send it. Naturally, she would be a little upset. However, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was pursing her mouth and playing a little temper, only heard Chu Jiangmian chuckle in her ear and said a few words, and she broke into laughter again.

"What you want is too domineering! If you're a girl, try not to get your hands dirty. I don't want to be accompanied by a murderous female demon in the future...... Hehe! ”

"You...... I hate it! ”

The princess threw a coquettish punch in his chest. All the soldiers and subordinates consciously turned their heads away and turned a blind eye. And King Zhao, who was grinning, gasped for air, but said with a mysterious smile.

"However, I brought you the Black Fire Oil. This was discovered and mined from the territory of your Qi country. Don't underestimate these black things, if used properly, they can be much more powerful than thunderbolts! Hehe! ”

"Really? Don't lie to me. Otherwise...... Hmph!"

"I don't lie to you! You'll find out when you have the opportunity to use it later. However, try to use it with caution. Not only is this thing extremely dangerous, but it's also incredibly lethal. I specially brought you a small team of people who will teach you how to use ...... I hope it doesn't need to, and it won't kill more! ”

The black fire oil that Chu Jiangmian specially brought to her in order to protect the safety of Princess Wuwu was probably not even expected by himself, and it would come in handy so quickly. Her Royal Highness, the princess, who already loves him to the core, used all her strength at all costs in order to save him.

The army of more than 10,000 Qi was divided into two, and she personally led the 5,000 army to the upper reaches of the Luo River under the guidance of Xiao Qi. And this is also where the rear army of the Southern Han Army is located. Because the river here is narrow, it is convenient to transport supplies up and down the shore, so Hu Yuan ordered the large ships that transported baggage supplies in the rear to be temporarily stationed here. In his subconscious, this expedition would have been an easy one. The army of King Zhao to be prevented is far away in the north, and when they hear the news and kill them, they don't know what about the Year of the Monkey! With the big picture already decided, it is unlikely that a war that will be too fierce will take place. Even if there is any emergency, it is never too late to prepare after getting the scout warning! General Bahu has such self-confidence. As far as he knew, although many of the armies of the princes of the world were much more powerful than the Southern Han army. However, when it comes to fighting on the water, no one will be their opponent. That's why the layout of the entire fleet is so lax.

However, Hu Yuan, the general of Bahu, never imagined that because of his pride and conceit, he and all his subordinates would pay a heavy price. After tonight, the rejuvenated Southern Han Navy will be wiped out and will no longer exist!

"Your Royal Highness! Everything is ready to go. ”

The general from the Qi Kingdom led the five hundred warriors carefully selected behind him to stand in front of the carefree princess. Under the night sky where the stars and moon shimmered, they waited silently for orders. As long as Her Royal Highness the princess gives an order, they will be willing to die and will never look back.

"Go ahead! As soon as the fire started, all of you retreated...... I want you to bring them back without a shortage of them!"

"Obey!"

The general gave a military salute with a resolute expression, and five hundred warriors bowed together. Then without looking back, he disappeared into the reeds by the river. They are all water-savvy people, and it is an honor to be able to carry out this order given by the princess herself!

Princess Sanssouci closed her eyes and calmly waited for the battle to begin. The night breeze ruffled her hair, and one of her hearts was as messy as hair. Whirring in the reeds, the time and place are right for me, it is the best time to win! I only hope that Chu Jiangmian in Zichen Palace can be safe and sound, waiting for her to personally swing her sword to kill him and save him.

In the silence, I don't know how much time has passed. The woman in the costume opened her eyes suddenly, and she saw a cluster of fire explode from the surface of the river. Almost in the blink of an eye, the fire enveloped the bow of the ship. And then, the second, the third...... In a matter of moments, flames flew and smoke rose everywhere. The fire takes advantage of the wind and spreads rapidly. Twenty or thirty large ships that were parked on the water were set on fire. The ship was loaded with flammable items such as baggage and grain and grass, which made the fire even more intense.

The fire dragon flew, and the overwhelming fire obscured everything, burning straight downstream in the direction of the fleet.

"Drumming...... Kill the enemy!"
