"Straw boats borrow arrows." The two were shocked when they heard this, paused, and Wang San first said: "Big brother, it's really very similar!" Zhao Jun thought that our army used the dense fog grass boat to borrow arrows, but he didn't know that the real purpose of our army was to set fire to their chain boats. ”

"Yes! Big brother, as long as the fire is together, our army can be completed, do you want to send a signal first, let the army on the south bank cross the river and go north. Wang Biantou asked.

Hua An shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait for Zhao Jun's water village to catch fire, and then send a signal." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang Biantou replied.

On the south bank of the Wujiang ferry, Lei Storm and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Wang Liu's command have been assembled on the edge of the ferry, and Lei Storm and Wang Liu's two people boarded the high platform of more than ten zhang on the side of the ferry port and looked at the direction of the Zhao army camp on the opposite bank.

Because the high platform is more than ten zhang away from the river, therefore, not affected by the fog at all, you can see the bright moon and stars overhead, because it is getting closer and closer to the early morning, the eastern sky floats a trace of fish belly white, and the bright moon and stars above the head are gradually dimmed.

Thunderstorm looked at Wang Liu, frowned, and said, "It's been more than an hour, why hasn't the big brother sent a signal yet, will there be any accidents." ”

When Wang Liu heard this, he shook his head and said: "No, the fog on the river is too big, and the speed of the boat is naturally not faster than usual, and it is normal to be slower, let's wait patiently!" ”

"I hope so!" Thunderstorm nodded, paused, looked at the generals behind him, and said loudly: "In half an hour, the sky will be bright, you immediately go to the naval camp, let the naval officers prepare the ferry in advance, as long as the eldest brother sends a signal, we will immediately cross the river for reinforcements." ”

"Yes, General." The general took the order and turned to leave.

Wang Liu paced on the high platform, looked at the thunderstorm, and said, "Don't worry! In order to prevent the Zhao army from attacking the camp, more than half of the officers and men of the navy lived on warships, and as long as there was a situation on the other side, they could set off within a moment. ”

"Well, if that's the case, I'm relieved." Thunderstorm nodded.

On the north bank of the Wujiang ferry, in the camp of the Zhao Army's water village, the fifty fireships of the Jin Army have quietly touched into the Zhao Army's iron cable boats, looking at the behemoths connected by iron cables beside them, the Jin Army sailors all feel frightened, if these behemoths carry tens of thousands of Zhao troops across the river, it is really difficult for the Jin Dynasty Sailors to intercept, and the consequences are really unimaginable.

Because the Zhao army's iron cable ships are all large and medium-sized warships with more than two floors, and the more than 50 fireships of the Jin army are all small boats with a height of only four or five feet, therefore, when the Jin army's fireships pass by the Zhao army's serial ships, it is difficult to be discovered by the Zhao soldiers on the serial ships.

When all the Jin army ships arrived at the predetermined position, a sailor led by the leader, put his hand in his mouth and whistled, and after hearing the whistle, all the 100 Jin army sailors immediately lit the fire boat, and took a reed, jumped into the river, and went upstream in the direction of the upstream direction, where there were corresponding ships waiting for them.

The fire ship of the Jin army was piled up with flammable things poured with fire oil, after being ignited, the flames quickly rose up, three zhang high, the huge fire light instantly dispersed the surrounding fog, the position of the fire was ignited, the visibility could be as high as more than ten zhang.

Because the Jin army's fireship was attached to the side of the Zhao army's iron cable ship, the huge heat generated by the combustion soon ignited the Zhao army's warship, and the Zhao army's warship was naturally a wooden structure, and after being ignited, the flames became larger and larger, and spread to all sides.

The main warships of the Zhao army were all connected by iron cables, so as long as one ship was engulfed in fire, none of the connected warships could escape.

The fifty fireships of the Jin army made fifty fire points, each fire point was a group of warships of the Zhao army, because the spread of the flames was extremely rapid, and soon, the fifty fire points developed into fifty fire lines, and then the entire Zhao army water village was illuminated, and the dense fog in the water village was instantly dispersed. Visibility instantly increased to hundreds of feet.

As soon as they saw the warship on fire, some of the soldiers of the Zhao army who were staying on the warship were completely panicked, all around were full of fire, but they couldn't swim, between burning and drowning, they had to have a choice, some soldiers chose to jump ship, so as to be swallowed by the river, and those soldiers who were stranded on the warship because of fear were quickly engulfed by the flames.

Standing on the high platform, Shi Hu, who was still immersed in the remorse of the Jin army's 'grass boat borrowing arrows', suddenly found that a huge fire was emitted from the water village in front of him, and with the spread of the flames, the fog was dispersed, and Shi Hu saw clearly that the warship he had worked so hard to build was on fire.

The generals behind him naturally discovered this scene that made their hearts ache, and suddenly, all the generals of the Zhao army were stunned, and no one knew how the fire was burned.

"Your Majesty, the water village is on fire, it's too close to the water village, so let's avoid it!" A general built yì road.

Seeing that the warship he had worked so hard to build was engulfed in flames, Shi Hu's heart was dripping blood, he glared at the general, and shouted, "Don't go and put out the fire quickly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will go." The general clenched his fists and turned and ran in the direction of the camp.

Although the fire had already burned, and all the warships were connected by iron cables, it was almost difficult for all the warships of the Zhao army to escape the fate of turning into ashes, but Shi Hu couldn't bear to give up, so he asked his generals to lead the soldiers to fight the fire.

But Shi Hu didn't know why the water village caught fire, he looked at the love general Zhixiong beside him, and said loudly: "Why did the warship catch fire." ”

Zhixiong sweated on his forehead, hugged his fists and said: "This, the last general really doesn't know, but the last general has already sent his subordinates to check, and I believe that he will come to report soon." ”

"It's a failure, it's a failure!" Shi Hu complained helplessly.

#####

On the south bank of the Wujiang ferry, the thunderstorm and Wang Liu, standing on the high platform, could clearly see the fire in the Zhao Junshui village on the opposite bank, which obviously indicated that Hua'an's surprise attack plan was successful.

"The eldest brother has succeeded, Zhao Jundazhai has caught fire, and our army can get on the boat and set off." Thunderstorm said excitedly.

Wang Liu frowned and said softly: "Don't worry, the eldest brother hasn't sent a signal yet?" ”

"The fire on the other side is so big, this is the best signal, if you don't go, I'll go first." Thunderstorm said as he walked towards the high platform and in the direction of the ferry.

The sailor sentries on the high platform also immediately ran down the high platform to report the situation to their generals.

Since Hua'an's prediction of the fog on the river has come true, the generals of the naval army of the Yangzhou Legion are all willing to actively cooperate with Hua'an's actions.

At this time, knowing that a fire had broken out on the opposite bank, the commander of the navy ordered all the men and horses to enter the warship and prepare to march to the opposite shore immediately.

######

In the downstream direction of Zhao Jun Water Village, Hua An, Wang San, and Wang Biantou walked out of the cabin and looked at the burning Zhao Jun Water Village, and the corners of their mouths leaked smiles.

"Big brother, look, what a fire! We did it. Wang San said excitedly.

"Big brother, in Zhao Jun's water village, there is such a big fire, I don't think there is a need to send a signal! Ha ha! Wang Biantou said with a smile.

Hua An smiled slightly and said, "Flat head, you still send a signal!" Before leaving, the eldest brother had already agreed with Thunderstorm and Wang Liu to send a signal, in case the two of them were brainless, wouldn't we be able to wait for reinforcements. ”

"Haha!" The two laughed, and Wang San opened his mouth and asked, "Big brother, what are we doing now, do we continue to beat drums and shout?" ”

"No need, let the soldiers rest for a while! Wouldn't it be nice for us to see the excitement here? Haha," Hua An said with an intoxicated expression.

"Haha, big brother, I'm going to send a signal." Wang Biantou said, leading several soldiers to turn around and walk towards the stern of the boat.

In the middle of the stern, more than a dozen Kong Ming lanterns were placed, and Wang Biantou and all the soldiers lit these Kong Ming lanterns at the same time, and let go of their hands together, letting the Kong Ming lanterns float into the air.

#####

On the south bank of the Wujiang ferry, all the soldiers have boarded their respective warships, ready to set off at any time, on the high platform by the water village, only Wang Liu is still waiting for Hua'an's signal, about a moment later, the downstream direction of the Zhao army water village, finally raised more than a dozen Kong Ming lanterns.

Looking at the flickering more than a dozen Kong Ming lanterns, a smile appeared at the corner of Wang Liu's mouth, and he hurriedly ran down the high platform and ran towards the ferry, and at this time, all the horses and horses of the Jin army had already boarded the warship, including the men and horses under Wang Liu's command, nearly half of the warships had left the shore and headed towards the opposite shore.

When Wang Liu arrived at the ferry port, the big ship on which the thunderstorm was riding was preparing to set sail.

"Thunderstorm, the eldest brother has already signaled, we can go" Wang Liu said and jumped on the warship that the thunderstorm was on.

"Haha! I said it a long time ago, seeing the fire is enough to prove that the big brother's fire attack plan was successful, and you are still waiting there stupidly. Thunderstorm laughed and teased.

Soon, all the Jin soldiers and horses on the south bank of the Wujiang ferry, except for a very small number of troops left behind, the remaining main forces all took warships and sailed towards the Zhao Army Water Village on the other side of the river.

######

After the fire broke out in the Zhao army's water village, the visibility there became extremely high, and the hundred Jin soldiers who were responsible for setting the fire all jumped into the river, and in order to prevent being discovered by the Zhao soldiers and thus being shot, they all dived completely into the water, only exposing the reed pole in their mouths a little above the water.

As soon as the soldiers of the Zhao army saw the warship on fire, they were all busy fighting the fire and running for their lives, and no one noticed the few reed poles moving slowly on the river, so one hundred Jin sailors escaped from the Zhao army's water village and boarded the ten receiving boats waiting on the periphery, and then one hundred and twenty Jin sailors operated the boats to march downstream, preparing to join the more than ten warships where Hua'an was.
