This idea is indeed feasible, but some people have said: we are not a blacksmith, can the rebel army let you wait until the chains are burned? Besides, there are not one or two iron chains on the river, but six of them, and they are so coarse, when will they be burned off?

At this time, Peng Yulong, the commander of the naval army under Fan Li, came out to speak: It is really not easy to burn the six roots with fire, but we can innovate, we use the oil pot to burn, maybe we can really burn it!

When Fan Liang heard it, it didn't seem to be very reliable, and he got the oil pot to burn the iron chain, not to mention whether we can burn it, and the other party can't let you burn there, people still have bows and arrows, cannons, and it is very difficult to burn them, but thinking about it left and right, I can't think of any other way.

What to do? You can only form a death squad and do this. The next day, Fan Li's army was about to prepare for the attack, and was divided into four teams, one of which was twenty fast weapons, each of which had a stove, and on the stove there was a cauldron with a diameter of five feet, and the pot was full of oil, and the oil was soaked in a veil, that is, there were both fuel and combustibles. Then the stern of the boat was piled with dry firewood, which was used to burn in the stove and strengthen the fire in the oil pot.

But it can't be burned there, and there are seven or eight warriors next to the pot, and these warriors have big axes and big tongs in their hands, and then they set up a big iron pier next to it, and they are burning here, and the warriors are pincering and chopping with big axes, and there are dozens of soldiers on the ship with shields and bows and arrows in their hands to protect these chopping warriors, this is the first team.

The second team consisted of a hundred ships loaded with oil-soaked torches and dozens of unsealed cloth bags, each containing half a bag of soybeans. The task of this second team is to strengthen the protection of the twenty fast weapons of the first team that cut the chains. And this second team was led by Peng Yulong himself.

The third team is led by another general named Wang Fu, and it is also a hundred warships, but there are more people on these ships, 2,000 sailors, and the ships are also full of torches and soybeans, what is the task of this team? They said that once the chain was broken, they would rush over.

Finally, the fourth team, which focused on the defense work, rushed out with our main forces, and we were in the rear to protect the base camp and the baggage ships and grain and grass.

Besides, on the side of the rebel army, the hearts of this side are actually very worried, because who faces such a large army, especially Fan Li's troops who have been winning battles, and then Fan Liang personally fights, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

In addition, Wuzhou and Changzhou were defeated before, so the naval divisions and warships on the rebel side basically suffered more or less losses, and there were many casualties. They have now collected more than 200 fishing boats from the people and put them here as warship envoys, and the people are also transferred from the army soldiers, and the land soldiers are good at fighting on the ground, but it is not necessarily easy to fight when they are put into the water.

Therefore, whether in terms of personnel quality or equipment, the strength of the rebel army is obviously inferior to that of Fan Li's sailors, and the only line of defense is the six life-saving iron chains across the river and those fishing boats. The guard knows very well in his heart, so he can only stand there, and he hopes that Fan Li's side can come up with a plan to break my defense line later, and that other troops can support us one day earlier.

But there are no troops to support, but Fan Li's troops are about to attack, saying that this morning, the general of the rebel army got up in the morning and finished eating, and went to patrol to have a look, and when he saw that he was almost not scared to pee, the boat on the opposite side rowed over, frightened, hurry up and find someone, hurry up, we are ready to fight, we must take advantage of the other party's failure to put the boat and the formation in a good position, we will strike first.

However, the first team on Fan Li's side was a fast weapon, a fast boat, and this fast weapon was much lighter than other ships, so when the rebels found out and were preparing, they didn't have to form a formation, and they came over with a swish.

How can the rebels defend themselves? People have come to you, it's too late to fight, just take a bow and shoot a shot, since it's not a cannon, it's easy to do, the dozens of people on the fast machine here have long been ready, holding the shield to block, still struggling to move forward.

In this process, Peng Yulong's troops arrived, and then threw torches and arrows to the rebel ship, and the other party also threw the torches back, in short, it was a chaotic battle.

At this time, the soybeans prepared by Peng Yulong's ship came in handy, how to do it, that is, to put the soybeans packed into half a bag, the mouth of the bag was temporarily covered with his hand, and then he threw the bag to the bow of the rebel army with all his strength, and these cloth bags containing half a bag of soybeans fell on the other party's boat, and the soybeans in the bag were spilled out at once.

The rebels didn't know what this thing was, and thought it was explosives, but it didn't blow up when it landed on the boat, and they were quite happy. As a result, the soybeans were sprinkled, stupid, the boat was full of soybeans sprinkled, the boat was still swaying on the river, the people on the boat were fighting and were in a hurry, as long as you accidentally stepped on the soybeans, it was a slip, and the lucky ones slipped and fell on the boat, and the unlucky ones fell directly into the water.

The generals of the rebel army were also in a hurry, and they had no choice but to watch their people fall and get up again, get up and fall again, and they couldn't organize an attack at all, so they could only be shot by the other side. At this time, Fan Li's first team of fast guns took the opportunity to rush to the iron chains, and the boats of the second team also came, and threw torches at the boats across the river, burning all the boats blocking the river.

At the same time, the big oil pot on the first team of ships was lit on fire, and the warriors on the ship endured the high temperature and put the iron chains into the oil pot to burn, and this side burned, and the warriors with big axes began to chop the iron chains, of course, this work is particularly difficult to do, especially difficult to do, it doesn't matter if the temperature is high, and as long as the boat shakes slightly, if you accidentally fall into the oil pot, then you don't have to live.

But in order to get credit, in order to earn the fame and fortune of protecting their families and getting rich, these warriors are desperately tidying up, while the fire is burning, everyone is desperately chopping, not to mention, there is an iron chain that was actually split after a while!

After one of them was split open, the rest of the people saw hope, so it turned out that this method would work, okay, let's go and do the remaining five. The first team of burning chains here was working in the heat, and the rebels saw that it was broken, and if these things were broken, then we would be finished, so they began to fight desperately. Once a person is desperate, this combat power cannot be underestimated.
