"The behavior of our army against the enemy today is no different from usual. Therefore, it is expected that the Tartars will not know the next move of our army. And the two armies are facing each other, and they are already going to be quick to cut through the mess. Moreover, he looked at the celestial phenomena and asked many people who were familiar with the celestial phenomena to predict that there would be a west wind tomorrow. Therefore, His Majesty felt that it was a good time to implement the policy of fire attack tomorrow. Why does the lord think? ”

As soon as Zhao Jiu's voice fell, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but stand up, bowed his hand, and said such words to Zhang Shihua unhurriedly.

Therefore, after hearing such words, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the main seat, paused slightly, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Ziyu is reasonable. The order was given that the three armies would be on alert, and that they would attack the enemy by fire tomorrow. ”

"Yes, your subordinates obey!" When the words fell, all the generals under the tent knelt on the ground and sang the promise loudly.

……

Early the next morning, there was a barracks of officers and soldiers more than ten miles away from the black-clothed barracks. A tall young general came to the Chinese army's tent without taking three steps and two steps at this time.

"Uncle, the black-clothed thief is attacking again." The young general walked quickly to the big tent of the Chinese army, and then saw Pei Changqing, who had just finished breakfast in the tent, but he couldn't help but say a sentence like this.

"Oh, this thief. It seems that they want to defeat our army by attrition. Hearing this, Pei Changqing smiled indifferently, but he couldn't help but say like this.

"Uncle, this thief is really a scoundrel. Attacking day by day, but losing day by day, they are not annoyed. "But it is also because the troops on the black-clothed army's side in the first three days were slightly more than those on the side of the sailors on Yuezhou Road. made Pei Song, who was originally afraid of the black-clothed army, not very timid in his heart.

Therefore, this time in terms of words, I couldn't help but seem a lot more relaxed.

However, at this time, Pei Changqing, who has always been strict with Pei Song, did not teach his nephew a lesson because of this. Just because at this time, Pei Changqing's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of ease.

At this time, the two armies faced each other. If you go to the difference in troops and equipment, you will be fighting the spirit of the soldiers. There is also a saying that "one blows, then declines, and three is exhausted." "Although the black-clothed army said that it far surpassed the officers and soldiers of the Yuezhou Navy Division in terms of strength.

But if you attack every day, you will be defeated every day. The morale of the black-clothed sergeants will definitely be reduced.

This can be seen by looking at the battle situation between the two armies on the third day. In order to conceal his true intentions, Zhang Shihua clearly gave instructions to attack with all his might on the third day. But when such an order was implemented at the bottom, it was because of the small defeat of the black-clothed army in the first two days, which caused the black-clothed sergeants to generally have low morale.

The original ten cost collar was only played out of seven or eighty percent that day.

So, if you keep fighting like this. Then after today's battle, if the black-clothed army still has no results, it will definitely have to temporarily cease fighting.

After all, the soldiers under his command are all flesh-and-blood people with independent ideas, not data soldiers and horses that can be produced by spending some gold resources in strategy games. It's impossible for you to point your hand and they will fight forward, attacking with all their might.

So in such a situation, Pei Changqing is naturally not afraid of the black-clothed army fighting a war of attrition with him. Just because he knew that if it continued to be consumed like this, then the black-clothed army, which was defeated day by day, would be the first to collapse in terms of the morale of the soldiers.

However, at this time, he never thought that the black-clothed army would be on the river and would use the method of fire attack to attack him.

……

"It's strange, how the formation of the black-clothed army today has become a little different compared to the past." After leading the troops into battle with full confidence, Pei Changqing, who was on a high-level war ship, couldn't help frowning when he looked at the formation of the black-clothed army warship not far away.

"That's true. Uncle, you see, this doesn't seem to be the formation of the boat attack. In this way, the ships in front of them left gaps everywhere, as if they were giving way to the ships behind them. Hearing this, Pei Song, who also had his own opinions on water warfare, couldn't help but echo his words.

"But that's the case, isn't this black-clothed thief going to perform some tricks?" Seeing that the formation of the black-clothed army was different from the past, and the experience of many years couldn't help but make Pei Changqing have an ominous premonition in the dark.

"When it is. But on this river, the banner of righteousness and the dignified array are the king. It is expected that even if the black-clothed thief has some so-called tricks, it is estimated that it is just a little cleverness that cannot be brought on the table. ”

Because Pei Changqing has a cautious personality, as an officer and soldier, he has always suppressed bandits above the Dongting, and he has always used power to suppress people, and he never disdains to use those conspiracies.

Therefore, due to Pei Changqing's infection, Qianhu Pei Song has always been extremely disdainful of clever schemes. Therefore, at this time, even if he expected the black-clothed army to perform a clever plan, Pei Song still couldn't help but say such a thing, and he didn't feel the slightest sense of taking it to heart.

However, unlike Pei Song, Pei Changqing, who has been in battle for a long time, understands. When the two armies fight and fight, they often pay attention to the right fit and win by chance.

Back then, he led the troops to suppress bandits in Dongting. Compared to him, the power of the bandits is like the fluorescent and bright moon. Under such circumstances, Pei Changqing naturally disdained to use any conspiracy.

But now, the black-clothed army's soldiers and horses are far stronger than him. The reason why you can fight like this is that he has a good reputation, but it is just because he has the advantage of geographical advantages.

So when he noticed that the black-clothed army might be going to perform some tricks, Pei Changqing couldn't help but cheer up.

But there is also a way that is 'the authorities are obsessed'. Although Pei Changqing is a veteran of the rivers and lakes for a long time, with only a small change in the formation of the black-clothed army's fleet, it is impossible for him to think that the black-clothed army will attack him with fire.

Therefore, in such a situation, he has already led the troops out of the camp, and he belongs to him who is ready to send arrows. couldn't help but suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and the soldiers and horses under his command were still indifferently commanded, so that their fleet on this river put on a formation that could be attacked, retreated, and defended.

"Haha, look. The Tartars lined up as usual. It seems that this time they did not guess what kind of strategy our army was going to use. On the other side, Zhang Shihua and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Pei Changqing commanding the soldiers and horses under his command and putting on a formation that could be attacked, retreated, and defended.

After all, judging from the intelligence they gathered, although Pei Changqing was brave, he was very cautious in commanding operations.

When he led the troops to suppress the bandits on the Dongting, the bandits wanted to lure the enemy to ambush him, but he was recognized by him from the military array set up by the bandits. As a result, the lure of the enemy to ambush failed, but he was calculated by his generals and killed a big rout.

Therefore, for such a famous general with outstanding wisdom and rich combat experience, Zhang Shihua still attaches great importance to it.

"Very good, since this Pei Changqing has not seen through our army's plan. Then take advantage of the wind at this time to let the fireboat go out and catch them off guard! On a huge warship, Zhang Shihua roared, and with a sudden wave of his hand, he couldn't help but give such an order.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the flag bearer on the warship couldn't help waving the flag in his hand for the first time to convey Zhang Shihua's order.

Then you can see dozens of assault Fish clippers and four or five lightened Sea Falcon warships, setting sail and sailing out of the fleet at breakneck speed.

Then, the pilots of these boats also held torches and set all the flammable materials on the boats on fire. After that, these pilots with excellent water skills couldn't help jumping off the boat, and let the unmanned empty ship with a raging fire rush towards the officers and men of the sailors on the opposite side like arrows from the string.

"This ...... Not good! The black-clad thief wants to strike me with a fire attack. Get the fleet out of the way and avoid these ships! Seeing this, Pei Changqing naturally understood it at the first time.

And after understanding, Pei Changqing's face was naturally not half indifferent.

After all, the formation of their fleet was extremely tight. It is self-evident what kind of result such a formation would have if it were collided by dozens of fireships on the opposite side and down the river.

So in such a situation, Pei Changqing couldn't help but roar angrily, wanting to let the warships under his command dodge.

But the difference between the two fleets at this time was not far away. The fireboats on the black-clad army's side took advantage of the wind to go down the river, and the speed was as fast as an arrow on the river. How could dozens of burning clippers dodge like this.

Therefore, even though Pei Changqing was anxious at this time, the fireship like an arrow still mercilessly collided with the fleet under his command.

"Knock !!" A loud bang was heard. When I looked closely, it was the fireboat on the side of the black-clothed army, and with the help of the wordless and incomparable speed, it directly knocked out a big hole in a ship on the side of the officers and soldiers and sailors who wanted to turn around.

There was a big hole in the boat, and the river water naturally poured into the hull of the ship without money.

Obviously, the ship was already doomed to sink. Therefore, under such circumstances, the officers and sailors on the warship could not help but cry and jump off the warship.

But this group is not the most shocking. Because at this time, all the fireships on the side of the Blackcoat Army had already rushed into the fleet of officers and sailors.

So if you say shocking. But there is nothing more shocking and terrifying than the ignition of one warship after another, and the burning of hundreds of officers and soldiers.

"Boom !!" Another multi-gled warship was set on fire. Fire borrows the power of the wind, and the wind borrows the power of the fire. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, this multi-oared warship nearly ten feet long could not help but be completely ignited by the raging fire.

"Quick, firefighting, firefighting." The precious multi-gled warship was set on fire.

The officers and soldiers on the warship, Qianhe, were naturally reluctant to let their ships be burned to ashes like this.

Therefore, at this time, he couldn't help but shout with his throat red, and his eyes were red. Delusional hopes of extinguishing the flames on the ship and saving this precious warship.

But how is this possible. On the river, the black-clad army's flaming squid clipper was burning against the multi-oared warship. The fire created by adding an unknown amount of fire oil in this way, not to mention taking some wet quilt.

Even if you bring in a fire truck from the next generation, you don't want to put it out.

Therefore, even though the beard and hair of the thousand household officials were burned by the flames, their throats were also hoarse with smoke. But the flames are still getting smaller and bigger. Even the warship under their feet, after losing its pilot (at this time, the soldiers of the warship naturally escaped), could not help but start to slide backwards under the thrust of the river.

"General, it's over. Come with me. If we don't leave at this time, we won't be able to leave! "As the commander of the personal guard of this thousand-household official. At this time, the general who saw them was already a little crazy. So he couldn't help roaring like this, and dragged the red-eyed general and jumped into the river.

"Damn, not good. Run, black-clad thief. The black-clad thief has also killed from behind! Jumping off the icy river, the Qianhu official also came back to his senses.

However, as soon as he came back to his senses, his personal guard commander couldn't help but shout such words again.

And hearing such words, the Qianhu official naturally glanced back. But just this glance couldn't help but make all his courage dissipate.

The back, it's like hell. On the surface of the river, for a time, there were almost everywhere warships that were ignited by the flames, and there were also officers and soldiers of the sailors who jumped off the warships and survived.

But in such a situation, the black-clothed army came to take advantage of the fire. Holding a crossbow and a strong bow in his hand, it was like shooting chickens and ducks, shooting officers and soldiers who jumped into the river one by one to survive.

So much so that with the killing of the black-clothed army, the rivers on their side were dyed with a faint shade of red.

"Let's go, let's go!" Seeing this, where does the thousand households after this madness still have any courage. just let out such a roar in frustration, and he couldn't help but lead people to swim directly to the shore.

Yes, it's the shore. But it's because now they have long been scared. At this time, they are full of only thinking about saving their lives as soon as possible, where else can they think about anything else.

"Kill the Tartars, !!" At this time, the embarrassed appearance of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division naturally made the morale of all the black-clothed soldiers burst.

Therefore, in such a situation, they couldn't help beating the loud war drums, and with the help of these dozens of fireships, they won the precious fighters for them. One by one, they roared and drove their respective boats, and then rushed towards the officers and men of the sailors.

"Damn, damn, damn !!" Seeing such a scene with his own eyes, Pei Changqing, as the commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division, had long since lost his indifference on his face.

Even at this time, Pei Changqing couldn't help but take out the sword on his waist and slash at the side of the ship one after another.

"Order, give me the order, abandon the warship in front and immediately organize a retreat! Kindness...... Burst!!! "I know that if I continue to fight like this, I will definitely lose. So after venting for a while, Pei Changqing, who calmed down, couldn't help gritting his teeth and giving such an order.

However, after such an order was issued, looking at the battle situation in front of him, Pei Changqing felt a tightness in his chest.

Then his throat was sweet, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
