In the dense fog, dozens of warships were quietly advancing towards the north bank of the Yangtze River. They were silent, unlit, almost integrated with the fog.

If it weren't for the super training of the Heavenly Master Army and the replacement of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, the ships would definitely collide together.

But in the Heavenly Master Army, it's nothing. Zhang Guo is determined to be the emperor, he has a glorious ancestor, and he is a descendant of a nobleman with an identity and inheritance, which Fang La is far from being able to compare with him.

Under the careful training of the Heavenly Master Army, it can be said that it is a first-class strong army today, and this kind of night sailing is a small meaning.

They quietly approached the enemy.

Han Shizhong didn't notice any changes in the river. The Praetorian Army is not a Guard, they don't have equipment far ahead of their time. Without night vision devices, they are just like blind people at night.

Even though there was a big moon tonight, the moonlight could not penetrate the fog, and the sentries of the Janissaries did not notice the enemy attacking.

It wasn't until the warships of the Heavenly Master Army broke out of the fog in the center of the river that the forbidden army discovered the enemy. But by this time it was too late.

In water warfare, in fact, the first competition is technology. Otherwise, there is a century-old navy. The technology can't keep up, so you can only be beaten passively.

The Great Song Dynasty Navy is the most technologically advanced military in this time and space - except for the monster of the Guards Regiment, they rely on the Navy to make the golden soldiers who are like wolves and tigers unable to cross the Yangtze River for half a point, which fully shows that the Great Song Dynasty Navy is technologically ahead - because their courage is not worth mentioning compared to the Jin soldiers, or they will not be broken in a short time.

The sailors of the Heavenly Division Army were the same as the Great Song Dynasty in terms of equipment, and they were far superior to the Song Army in terms of courage, so the Han family army was hit harder.

As soon as the ships broke through the thick fog, the trebuchets on board began to wield. A large number of flaming stones rose from the ship and smashed into the Han family's camp like meteors in the sky.

This blow plunged the Song army into chaos for a moment. It was the third watch in the middle of the night, and most of the people were sleeping soundly, when suddenly there was a rain of fire in the sky, and many people were burned to death before they could get out of the tent.

Fire Meteor!

Tie Guan Li stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the growing fire on the opposite bank, not to mention how happy he was!

Although Lu Dongbin thought of this fire attack plan with himself, the specific implementation plan proposed by Lu Dongbin was far inferior to himself.

It's not that the plane doesn't have fire, but you can't use trebuchets to set fire. The trebuchet throws out stones, and that one can't be burned.

To set fire, you need rockets, wrap the arrows in rags stained with tung oil, and shoot them out. But at this speed, tung oil is easily extinguished. Therefore, the real fires are lit with torches when they reach the enemy.

In this way, the effect of the surprise attack will not be achieved.

And the method of Tie Guan Li is different. He creatively proposed the use of kerosene.

It's not that he's brilliant, it's that he's experienced it firsthand. On that day, his 500 men and horses were defeated, and they were all defeated in a fire. He smelled kerosene in the fire. That's why he came up with the brilliant idea of setting fire to a trebuchet tonight.

Kerosene lamps and kerosene were already sold in Jiangning Prefecture, and the Heavenly Master Army scavenged the kerosene, then wrapped a burlap soaked in kerosene on the stone, lit it, and then threw it out with a trebuchet, which could ensure that it would not be extinguished, and the fire expanded rapidly.

Tung oil can't do that.

Now that the fire is spreading uncontrollably, Tie Guan Li feels that even his lame leg is worth it—if he is not lame, he can't think of this strategy.

It's worth exchanging one leg for the world!

At this time, the Heavenly Master Army lit the lights, shouted in unison, and shook the oars desperately, and the warship was heading towards the target like flying.

The shipbuilding industry of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely developed.

"The building boat crosses the snow melon island at night, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind." At this time, the warships had several floors, otherwise they could not be called building ships.

The large battleship can accommodate more than 200 soldiers in iron armor, and this time the Eight Immortals were dispatched together, with a force of 4,000 people and 50 or 60 warships. They wanted to finish their work in one battle and crush the Song army on the opposite side in one fell swoop.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the opposite bank, it had already entered the range of the bow and crossbow. Suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired on the ship, and the fire meteor was mixed with life-threatening crossbow arrows, which smashed into Han Shizhong's camp overwhelmingly.

The Han army had already bombed the battalion at this time. In the middle of the night, the camp suddenly caught fire everywhere, and they easily ran out of the tent, and when they encountered crossbow arrows crackling in the sky, most of the soldiers died in the fire or under the arrows without even wearing armor.

After all, Han Shizhong is a general, and even if he sleeps, he is much more alert than ordinary people. He came to his senses as soon as possible, and then shook Liang Hongyu beside him to wake up.

The two quickly helped each other put on their armor and ran outside the tent.

At this time, the whole camp was full of firelight and shouts. And there was a rain of arrows in the sky. Han Shizhong carried the big shield in one hand and Liang Hongyu in the other.

Years of battlefield experience told him that he was defeated. The situation in front of him is that the gods can't help him when they come.

However, Han Shizhong's years of fighting are by no means in vain. Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, run!

He snatched a scurrying war horse, threw Liang Hongyu on it, and then took his shield and quickly fled north—the farther away from the river, the better.

Qin Mu stood on the hill and quietly looked at everything in front of him.

Han Jiajun is finished.

Their camp was too close to the river to avoid the enemy's trebuchets.

On the contrary, the camp of the Zhejia Army and the camp of the Guards Regiment were not affected at all. It wasn't even discovered by the Celestial Division.

Because the Guards Regiment had been completely reformed by Qin Mu a long time ago, all their actions were strictly in accordance with the regulations.

At that time, the longest-range range of the air force armament was understood by everyone in the Guards Regiment. They naturally keep their camp out of the enemy's range and try to avoid the enemy's line of sight.

In fact, their camp was set up behind a dirt slope, which was not only a safe enough distance from the battlefield, but even because of the dirt slope, the Heavenly Master Army did not find the Zhejia Army and the Guards Regiment.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage. Now that the Guards Regiment and the Zhejia Army are ready to go, as long as Qin Mu gives an order, they will be thrown into the battlefield.

At this time, everyone looked at Qin Mu and waited for Qin Mu to give an order.

Shi Yi and the others had just heard the regiment commander's strategic analysis and understood that their goal was to drive the Heavenly Master Army away from Jiangning Mansion. But to achieve this goal, they need to have a boat to cross the river, otherwise how can they fight the enemy?

It was a huge problem, and no one could have thought of a way at the time, but now suddenly the enemy rushed in front of them. It's pie in the sky. Without crossing the river, they started a war on their own land, which took advantage of it.

Therefore, they were all waiting for Qin Mu's order to immediately enter the fight.

However, Qin Mu's eyebrows were tightly locked, staring firmly at the battlefield, and he never gave this order.

Qin Mu didn't know that the current situation was in his favor, as long as the Zhejia Army and the Guards Regiment attacked, they would definitely be able to deal a fatal blow to the Heavenly Master Army.

But there are two things I don't want. The first is that the enemy is fully organized, especially with dozens of warships. These ships were constantly throwing stones, which were sure to cause casualties to the warriors once their own troops were put into battle. This is something that Qin Mu absolutely wants to avoid.

It's not that the fighters of the Guards Regiment can't die, but it's pointless that the fighters of the Guards Regiment can't die. Each of them has been carefully educated by themselves, and they are all precious treasures of this time and space, and they cannot be lost here in vain.

Another reason is also important. If Qin Mu wiped out the Heavenly Master Dao here regardless of the casualties, then the main force of the Heavenly Master Dao would suffer a great loss, and they would not be able to cause trouble to Zhao Ji according to their own ideas.

You can't fight like this, but you can't stop fighting. After a while, the flames of war will definitely burn here, and then if you don't fight, you will have to fight.

Finally, Qin Mu made a decision.

"Captain Qiu."

"Here!" Qiu Chen immediately stepped out of the queue and came to Qin Mu's eyes.

At this time, Qiu Chen seemed to be on fire all over his body. The war is about to start, and the regimental commander first calls his name! Sure enough, the special operations brigade was the real vanguard of the Guards Regiment.

"I order, the special operations team to take that big ship." Qin Mu pointed to the warship closest to him on the shore and said, "I want this ship to fall into our hands completely, and at the same time, I can't alarm the enemy." Go ahead, and I'll give you remote support. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Qiu Chen understood the task, immediately ordered the team members, and took advantage of the night to start the action.

"Girl," Qin Mu turned to Yu Liyan and said, "You are responsible for fire support, and those who show their heads on that boat and call the police will be killed as soon as possible." ”

"Brother-in-law, look at it!" Yu Liyan agreed, immediately left the brigade, went to find a commanding height, built a shooting position, and set up the ******.

"Company Commander Deng."

"Here!."

"Target, Heavenly Master Army Front, listen to my orders."

"Yes."

Deng Cheng immediately returned to his unit and ordered the artillery team to be released. The fighters of the artillery company immediately went into action, quickly assembling the artillery and building positions.

"Battalion Commander Shi, Company Commander Liu."

"Here!"

"My plan is to take that boat, you arrange a hundred soldiers, and we will take advantage of the chaos to get on that boat. Then listen to me. Try to find a fighter who can handle the boat. ”

"Yes!"

Shi Yi and Liu Yunfei immediately split up and returned to their respective companies to carry out the order.

Zhe Kecun and Liang Zhi waited for a while, and when they saw that Qin Mu didn't give any more orders, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Brother-in-law, what about my people? Don't move? ”

"Don't move yet." Qin Mu raised his binoculars and looked ahead calmly, "The current front, the Zhejia army has already protected the artillery team, if the enemy kills it, it will naturally fight, if it can be carried out according to my plan, then the Zhejia army will find soldiers who can handle the boat, and I will leave some boats for you." ”

When Zhi Kecun heard this, he couldn't help but look at Liang Zhi.

Do we not need our men in this battle?

However, at this time, no one could disobey Qin Mu's order, and it was impossible to have any objections even if they could be saved, and Liang Zhi did not dare to have it.

Although he was confused, he still picked up the telescope with great interest and looked towards the river.

Qiu Chen's special operations brigade has undergone Qin Mu's strict training, and has constantly had some actual combat, and now they are all like divine soldiers and generals.

Following the shadows of the trees, with the help of the undulations of the ground, they silently touched the river.

This battle of the Heavenly Master Army was fought extremely smoothly, and it was a great success. The Song army was not organized to resist at all, and everyone desperately fled to the back.

This made the Celestial Army even more arrogant, and they left only a few men to guard the ships, and most of them followed the defeated enemy and killed them.

Until Qiu Chen and the others sneaked into the shadow of the big ship, the people on board hadn't noticed it at all.

In front of me is a springboard, one end on the shore and the other on the boat, as long as this springboard is crossed, the special operations team can get on the boat.

Qiu Chen believed that as soon as he and his team got on the boat, the boat would belong to the regiment leader. The people on board will definitely not be their opponents.

But to get on the boat, you have to cross the gangplank, and this section of the road cannot be hidden, and it is bound to be exposed under the noses of the enemy.

If you go through the water and climb up from the hull through the hook line, it is too much of a waste of time. Qiu Chen knew how tense the situation was now. Since the regimental commander wants to take the ship himself, then it must be as soon as possible.

At this time, Qin Mu's voice came from the earphones.

"Captain Qiu, get ready to rush."

Qiu Chen's spirits perked up and he knew that the opportunity had come.

He seemed to hear a soft sound in the distance, and then the soldier on the mast of the big ship who was guarding the Heavenly Division suddenly fell upside down into the river.

This is the princess who made a move.

Qiu Chen immediately waved his hand, and the team members immediately followed behind the captain in turn like civets and rushed to the springboard.

At this time, someone in the Celestial Master Army on the ship seemed to have noticed some abnormal movements, and they were about to take a look, but they were torn to pieces by bullets flying from afar-the power of *** is not something that humans can bear.

Yu Liyan didn't miss a bullet, and all the sentries on this ship were shattered by her shot as soon as they appeared in her field of vision.

Qiu Chen's special operations team had already rushed onto the warship.

At this time, the strength of the special operations team was immediately revealed. To prevent exposure, none of them used firearms, only bows and daggers. But with the help of cold weapons, they killed all the way from the bow to the stern, and no one could resist at all.

In the end, in just five minutes, the special operations team had already taken the ship without firing a single shot—there were no more people on board for half of the Heavenly Division.

"Company Commander Deng!" Qin Mu once again issued an order through the walkie-talkie.

"Here!"

"The shelling begins, disperse the enemy array."

"Yes!"

Mortars immediately began to fire.

Although the battle was fought in a hurry, the vanguard of the Guards Regiment had already drawn a map of the area in advance, and now, even at night, it was no different from the day for the artillery company.

According to the coordinates, it was determined to shoot Zhu Yuan, and a cannonball flew towards the Heavenly Division Army with a roar.

Explosions, flames, and blows that fell from the sky suddenly blinded the Heavenly Master Army.

Before they could figure out where the enemy was, a second round of artillery fire came back.

The armies of this plane have no experience in artillery defense at all. They had never seen artillery, so how could they defend against it.

The Heavenly Master Army only watched the robes around them being blown away, blown up, and blown to death, but they really didn't know where the death came from.

The shelling continued, and when the third round of shells came down, the Celestial Division finally collapsed.

They gave up the pursuit of the Song army, and one by one they fled to the riverside - there was their retreat! There are boats!

The Eight Immortals simply turned into eight little ghosts at this time. They also don't understand where the blow is coming from. Why did their own people fly up one after another, and when they fell, they were a dead corpse. This huge sound, the firelight, this unparalleled power, the Eight Immortals General has never seen before.

No matter how heroic they are, in the face of supernatural miracles, human instinct prompts them to flee for their lives.

At this time, the Heavenly Division Army was completely defeated. Everyone desperately fled to the river, desperately running towards the boat.

"Qiu Chen, let the boat come over." Qin Mu issued an order again.

The ship that Qiu Chen had taken was originally at the outskirts of the fleet, but now taking advantage of the chaos, the ship moved quietly, and no one even noticed it.

There were one or two Heavenly Master troops who ran towards this boat, and they were all beaten into slag by Yu Liyan with ***.

"Company Commander Deng, extend the shooting, leave a few boats." Qin Mu gave Deng Cheng an order that was more difficult to execute.

How many boats are left? How to stay?

If it was someone else, he might not be able to carry out Qin Mu's orders. But Deng Cheng belonged to a very many people, and he gradually guessed the regiment leader's plan through Qin Mu's orders.

Then hit. Deng Cheng adjusted the muzzle of the cannon and made an encirclement of the nearest boats, and all the people who ran towards these boats were killed.

"Battalion Commander Shi, Company Commander Liu."

"Here!"

"Follow me."

Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Mu led a hundred soldiers of the Guards Regiment to the ship.

As soon as he got on the boat, he gave the order.

"Drive the boat and chase the one in front. We don't do first, but we do second. ”

The Guards Regiment was well-trained, and according to Qin Mu's orders, among the hundred people selected were good at handling the boat, and Shi Yi himself was from the Jiangnan Navy, and he was as comfortable fiddling with the ship as Liu Yunfei rode a horse.

Under the control of Shi Yi, the warship silently came behind the warship of the Celestial Division Army, which took the lead in escaping.

Exactly second place. And not to cross the first, and not to let the boat behind overtake him.

This made Qin Mu also have to admire - there are really many capable people under him. I changed myself, and I was okay with driving, but I definitely didn't have the ability to drive a boat.

The Heavenly Master Army left behind in Jiangning didn't know what was going on at all. Across the Yangtze River, they could only see the firelight on the opposite side.

At first, they thought that the Celestial Master Army had won, and they were screaming wildly, but as the warship appeared, they found that the situation did not seem to be the same as they thought.

Is it defeated?

Why else did the brothers on the ship have all their faces full of fear and not a little smile?

But at this time, they couldn't say so much, they hurriedly opened the water gate and let the boat in.

In this time and space, the waterways are developed, and the big cities are built near the water, and the main mode of transportation is by boat. So every city has a water gate.

The water gate is huge enough to allow two boats to pass side by side.

Qin Mu's boat followed closely behind the first boat. This is the most critical moment in the whole plan.

"Captain Qiu."

"Here!"

"I order you to dive at once to the stern of the boat in front of you, and enter the water gate with the other boat. As soon as the boat enters the water gate, you have to control the sluice gate, and you must not let the sluice fall! ”

This is the link that Qin Mu is most worried about.

Boats can be mixed, but people can't. It was impossible to change into the military uniform of the Heavenly Master Army in such a short period of time, and even if it was changed, it would be easy to be discovered by the enemies guarding the Water Gate.

If the enemy finds out that the people on this boat are not their own, they will definitely lower the sluices.

That sluice gate weighed thousands of catties, and once it was lowered, it would completely block the waterway into the city.

At that time, his own boat was in the doorway, and now he would fall into the siege of the Heavenly Master Army. Even if the Guards Regiment had an epoch-making weapon, it would eventually be completely annihilated - the enemy would only have to smash the ship.

The warships of the Great Song Dynasty all had shooting sticks. It's a big stick like a lever, raised high and falling heavily. This is the main mode of combat in water warfare.

One boat of his own, dozens of enemies, where can this be carried by it.

However, this kind of anxiety Qin Mu will not show it. He just gave orders as calmly as ever.

But at this time, who can not understand the situation in front of them. If we can't get past this water gate, we will probably be wiped out.

It doesn't matter if we're all dead, the point is that the regimental commander is still on board. If the ship is gone, the regimental commander is gone.

The Guards Regiment can do without anyone, but it can't be without the regimental commander.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen knew the burden on his shoulders better than anyone else.

The gate of the water gate is inside the doorway, and there is no mechanism visible from the outside. Only by secretly hanging on the tail of the enemy's ship in front of him, hiding in the shadows and passing through the doorway, can he see the mechanism of the sluice and the enemy operating the sluice.

You have to kill all the enemies near the sluice as soon as possible, and you can't hit the sluice mechanism, otherwise if the sluice falls, everything will be over.

This made Qiu Chen suddenly break out in a cold sweat.

He never imagined that the future of the Guards Regiment would suddenly fall on his shoulders alone.

This made the young captain suddenly feel that his legs weighed more than a thousand pounds, and he could barely take a step.

Fang Haoyin saw everything in front of him and took out a small bottle of wine from his satchel. This made Qin Mu surprised for a while-he really didn't know what mess was in the woman's satchel, why was he still carrying wine at this time.

Fang Haoyin walked up to Qiu Chen and handed over the wine: "Qiu Chen, take a sip and warm up, the water is too cold at this time, and it is easy to stiffen your hands and feet." ”

Qiu Chen subconsciously took it and took a sip.

After taking a sip of wine, Qiu Chen seemed to feel a fire gushing out from all over his body. His hands and feet regained their strength, and they were better than before.

For the sake of the Commander and the Holy Maiden, for the sake of the Guards, for the sake of the Brave New World, go!

Qiu Chen found a plastic bag, put the gun on it, and saluted Qin Mu**, then walked to the bow of the boat, turned over and slid into the river.

The water gate was like a big mouth of a demon, gradually appearing in front of Qin Mu's eyes.
