Chapter 264: Burning the Ganjiang River

Liu Yangzheng didn't know at all that when he was thinking about how Wang Yangming should respond, Wang Yangming was within a radius of ten miles from him.

After a year of lush reeds, they have revived again. The spring breeze is blowing, and the reeds are gently swaying. It was as if countless people were nodding their heads gently.

Wang Yangming said: "Are the ships ready?" ”

"It's all set." Liu Shouxu said. "All the ships that have been transferred from Ganzhou, Ji'an, and Linjiang have arrived tonight, and the number is extremely large, and it can be said that the ships in the upper reaches of the entire Ganjiang River are empty. Enough to clog the river. ”

Wang Yangming said: "Is the barrage iron cable ready?" ”

"The time is too tight, and there is no time to build a suitable iron cable, so I can only remove all the iron cables on the city gate, and then urgently create an iron lock, which is enough in front of me. I just don't know if I can get to the designated location tonight. Liu Shouxu said.

Wang Yangming said: "Don't worry, if you make all preparations, only half of the success is calculated." It is up to man to plan things, and things are to be done in heaven. ”

Liu Yangzheng thought that Wang Yangming would hit him halfway, but he didn't expect that Wang Yangming's goal was to burn the Ganjiang River.

The vicinity of Huangjiadu is full of reeds, and only the vicinity of Huangjiadu is the field. Ships leaned on the trestle bridge deep into the Gan River, and countless soldiers stepped off the boats.

The scale of the non-crossing port is limited, so the number of people who disembark is also limited, and in a whole day, less than 10,000 people disembark and set up camp on Huangjiadu.

The sky slowly darkened, so I had to stop getting off the boat and go on like this. It takes several days to be fully landed.

Liu Yangzheng looked at this situation, and secretly said in his heart: "I must first open a few roads in the reeds on both sides, and when Wang Yangming is in trouble, I can let the foot soldiers land directly through the reeds, and catch Wang Yangming off guard." ”

Liu Yangzheng carefully scrutinized these situations and made a report to King Ning. before sleeping peacefully.

Just when Liu Yangzheng began to rest, Wang Yangming's side also began to move.

A few miles away in the upper reaches of the Gan River, boats slowly approached each other in the night.

Countless hay and sulfur gunpowder were piled up on the boats, and these boats were not large, most of them were just fishing ferries. But all the ships were piled up on board. At this moment, all the boats are side by side on the Gan River, using ropes soaked in water. Tie boats, large and small, together and make all the boats look like they're half pontoons.

Not only is there a row of more than a dozen rows of governors, but there are thousands of ships used. Almost as Liu Shouxu said, the entire upper reaches of the Gan River were empty.

Countless fishermen and farmers are busy here. It's all done in the middle of the night.

Wang Yangming has seen them one by one. Liu Shouxu said to Wang Yangming: "These rows of boats, with only four or five braces, can control the direction and go down the river, they never imagined." ”

Wang Yangming said: "Since you are ready, let's go." ”

Rows of boats left the original surface of the river and went down the river and downward.

Rows of boats crossed the river and appeared upstream of King Ning's fleet.

The night watchman on King Ning's side saw a dark shadow on the river. I don't know what, but I noticed that they were getting closer and closer, and immediately lit the pyrotechnics according to the original agreement.

With a "whoosh", a burst of fire burst into the sky, above the sky. Colorful and gorgeous.

Liu Yangzheng was very thoughtful, with the life and death of tens of thousands of people hanging in his heart, how could he rest easy, when the fireworks exploded in the sky, Liu Yangzheng immediately sobered up.

"What's going on?" Liu Yangzheng came out and asked.

"My lord, there are boats coming down."

"What?" Liu Yangzheng couldn't figure it out for a while, what the hell was going on? It stands to reason that there is a war, not to mention that someone is coming up to it, and they can't hide it. What's going on with this ship today?

Liu Yangzheng looked up to the south, and suddenly a firelight was reflected in Liu Yangzheng's pupils, and after a while, this firelight slowly connected and turned into a line of fire.

Liu Yangzheng still doesn't understand where it is, it is an enemy attack.

On top of the row, a fisherman with a personal prop lit up lit something that had been prepared on the boat to ignite the fire. These fishermen, one by one, jumped into the Ganjiang River, they are all fishermen on the Ganjiang River, how can the water quality not be high, and they are particularly clear about the water conditions of the Ganjiang River. As long as you are in the water, you can live.

At this time, the fireship was not far from King Ning's fleet. Faced with the sudden appearance of the fireship, everyone was taken aback. I don't know what to do.

Liu Yangzheng immediately ordered: "Hurry, hurry, take the penny to block it,"

There were many people who were awakened, but there were still some people who listened to Liu Yangzheng's orders. One by one, they took out the pennies, and when the fireboat platoon came to their side, they leaned out one by one and lit them on the fireboat.

One by one, the pennies held up the rows of fireboats, distancing the flames from King Ning's ships.

Liu Yangzheng was relieved when he saw such a situation. But his breath has not yet come out. The situation immediately changed.

A strong force slammed into the penny, and many of the pennies cracked and crackled. With a "boom", the fireboat platoon crashed into a Ning Wang's ship.

The blazing flames ignited the sails of the Ning Wang ship, and the ignited sails spread everywhere on the deck. In an instant, the entire ship was set on fire.

Liu Yangzheng immediately commanded: "The boat in the front row is abandoned. The boats in the back distanced themselves from the ones in the front. ”

All ships had to drop anchor when they spent the night on the river. Firmly fixing the ships on the river, Liu Yangzheng used the southernmost ships as a barrier to block the fire boats.

He distanced the boats in the back from those in front of him, not giving the people of the boats in front a chance to escape at all. These pops jumped into the water. It's good to jump into the water, and more people don't even have the chance to dive. It turned into a burning man, and after repeated struggles, it turned into a mass of coke.

"Liu Yangzheng, what the hell is going on?" King Ning and Liu Yangzheng were in the same boat, and there was such a big movement outside at the moment, even if King Ning was a dead man, he would be woken up.

As soon as he woke up, he immediately lost his temper with Liu Yangzheng. You must know that in ancient times, it was quite rude to call people by their first names. It's almost close to swearing. It can be seen that King Ning's anger is strong.

You must know that there are not no people on this ship, but there are many people. You must know that tens of thousands of King Ning's elites were on the ship, and less than 10,000 people were withdrawn. This is going to be burned, what kind of rebellion does King Ning make, what kind of throne does he fight, just wipe his neck.

Liu Yangzheng bowed his head and said: "The minister has the trust of His Highness, and the crime deserves death, please surrender the crime." ”

Although King Ning was extremely angry in his chest, he also knew that he couldn't do without Liu Yangzheng for a moment, otherwise how could he handle this chaotic situation.

King Ning said: "Mr. Liu, at this time, I still talk about this, let's talk about it, what should I do." ”

As the two spoke, another fire platoon collided, and the boat in the front row was knocked to the east and west, and an anchor came loose and drifted down the river.

"Boom" hit another ship, and another ship was set on fire.

Liu Yangzheng immediately knew that the boats in the front row would not be able to resist for long. Either it could not withstand the pressure of the cruise row, or the entire fireship was burned through, burning the place where the iron anchor was fixed. These boats will also go down the river.

It's just a matter of time.

It can't go on like this.

Liu Yangzheng's heart couldn't help turning, and when he was thinking, the iron anchor of another ship couldn't be fixed. Flowing downwards. With a bang, it crashed into another ship, setting this one on fire.

King Ning was suddenly anxious and said, "Mr. Liu, what should I do?" ”

Liu Yangzheng knew that there was no time to think. He said secretly in his heart: "Even if there is no good way, it is much stronger than no way, and the crime of the three armies lies in suspicion." ”

Liu Yangzheng immediately said: "Let all the ships lift anchor, go down the river, and leave here." ”

King Ning said: "Okay, good, quickly anchor, quickly anchor." ”

Under King Ning's orders, all the ships pulled their anchors and began to flow downstream. I don't know if it's because of the threat of flames, their efficiency is flying fast. But in a matter of moments, all of them were pulled out.
