Chapter 719: Losing Soldiers and Ships

Cheng Ziyu laughed, and the other party was really fooled.

There are many enemy ships, and even if this arrow is retrieved, it will be a drop in the bucket. Although she changed the soup but not the medicine, it doesn't mean that she didn't even change the recipe.

So this time the dummy she released was not for the sake of taking arrows. Zhu Changan was mistaken.

And the bamboo raft that was laid down early in the morning will naturally not be decorative.

The other party's shuttle boat is sharp and fast, and it is flying forward.

Jia Er asked Cheng Ziyu in a low voice: "This range, the archers we have specially trained are sure." Need to shoot? He was referring to the dozen or so people who were throwing hooks on the boats.

Cheng Ziyu shook her head.

"It's all small soldiers, let them go."

The guards got Cheng Ziyu's signal, and they all made a fake action of throwing hooks to pull the bamboo raft back.

However, the dozens of shuttle boats were obviously faster, and they shot one after another, and a row of more than a dozen iron hooks had tightly hooked the bamboo raft.

The head and tail of the shuttle boats are the same, so there is no need to turn around, and they immediately pull the bamboo raft back with all their strength.

After only a few breaths, I saw that the bamboo raft full of reed dummies was dragged farther and farther away by the enemy.

The enemy's goal was achieved, and when they saw that they had lost their hands and lost their rafts and arrows, their shouts and laughter echoed on the surface of the lake......

Seeing that the bamboo raft was getting closer and closer, Zhu Changjue motioned to his subordinates to split the bamboo rafts that were blocking the water.

Cheng Ziyu was disappointed again.

He...... Can't you just be a little more stupid and wait a little longer?

She had to give a gesture to Asan.

All the guards were ready to do it together.

In an instant, in the pitch darkness, shadows flickered.

At the same time, hundreds of arrows that were set on fire at the same time were fired at the enemy.

Zhu Changjue, Zhu Changan and others hurriedly dodged, and all the shields on the ship were lined up in a blink of an eye.

It's just that they didn't expect that the other party's arrow was not aimed at them at all, but at the reed people erected on the bamboo raft.

The bamboo raft was only a dozen feet away from their fleet.

In their bright light, the reedmen were especially clear......

As a result, the rockets were full of precision, and the flames fell on the reed people who had already been sprinkled with oil, and suddenly turned into fire men.

In the blink of an eye, the fire suddenly rose from the ground and spread to the rafts.

A large fire burned on the surface of the lake.

The speed was too fast, and before Zhu Changjue could react, the situation was out of control......

And with the fire that burst into flames came billowing smoke that spread and spread in the blink of an eye.

It was a west wind, and the smoke instantly surrounded Zhu Changjue and their fleet.

And those bamboo rafts and fires are also rapidly approaching their fleets under the wind. Compared with the dozen or so shuttle boats hooked with bamboo rafts, the luck was not so good. The fire and smoke that went from west to east were the first to engulf them.

Several shuttles were caught in the flames, and they inevitably bumped into each other while dodging to extinguish the fire.

"Quick! Release the hook! ”

"Fooled! Hurry up and split the bamboo raft! ”

"Ahem, put out the fire first!"

"Put fifty more shuttle boats down, cough, quickly extinguish the bamboo raft fire!"

"The fleet quickly shrinks and retreats!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

I only heard that Zhu Changjue's side, one order after another was being issued.

The advantage they had just had was gone in an instant.

In the billowing smoke, it was vaguely seen that Zhu Changjue's fleet had retreated fifty zhang away again.

And those shuttle boats in the dense fog are not very clear.

The sound of clanging felling, falling water and cries for help began to be heard......

Cheng Ziyu's main purpose was only to defend, so they had already prepared.

It turned out that those bamboo rafts were pushed on the periphery of the fan-shaped fleet in the morning, mainly to serve as a partition. As for the means of partitioning, Cheng Ziyu had already thought about it.

There is only one simplest, most convenient and effective way to do this: fire!

She simply used a fire to keep the other party out.

So she got a bamboo raft in the first place. She had already padded thick dry straw on the bamboo raft, and under the straw was a thick layer of broken wood chips and dry wood.

Dry wood is naturally there to make the fire last longer, and as for sawdust, it's to get smoke.

The fog is already thick, and then send the other party a rising smoke, and keep it to make them feel like they are drunk. Ten percent of the troops will be exerted at most fifty percent.

In addition, she also asked the guards to clean up the group of Zhu Changjue's people by land an hour ago, and then went to a neighboring village to collect nearly 300 catties of bituminous coal.

In the winter, most people will prepare some cheap bituminous coal, but it didn't take much effort to find this thing.

But the effect is surprisingly good.

Bituminous coal and wood chips were mixed together.

The fire was smoked, roasted, and mixed with the moist mist, making the smoke not only smoky, but also extremely choking. Once sucked into the nose, it's enough for them to drink a pot.

The west wind came well tonight, and all the cigarettes were delivered to each other.

After only a few dozen breaths, the cough was overshadowed for a while. On Cheng Ziyu's side, they were not affected at all.

And at this moment, the wall of fire that ignited on the bamboo raft is a barrier, so that the other party can't easily get close at all. In addition, thanks to this westerly wind, even at this moment, the bamboo raft is still heading east with the wind......

Therefore, Zhu Changjue at this moment has no other choice than two choices.

First, retreat, exit the danger zone, and wait. Wait for the fire to be clear, and then move on.

Second, as they are doing at this moment, they come up with smoke and fire to forcibly break up the raft and extinguish the fire......

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was in a hurry, and he couldn't observe himself through the smoke for the time being, Cheng Ziyu and Jia San glanced at each other.

Dozens of small boats were lowered, and a group of elite guards rushed into the smoke range with a quick downwind......

Those Zhu Changjue's lackeys who were busy breaking up the bamboo raft to open the way for the fleet never thought that the other party, who had not resisted, would boldly come to attack at this time.

The sound of them fighting fires and chopping rafts revealed their orientation and location.

Therefore, when they heard the sound of breaking the sky, it was also the moment when they died.

An arrow pierced through the fog and fire, and landed on their flesh, bringing out strings of red.

What was left behind was the sound of falling water and the screams of falling into the fire.

The cries for help came and went.

The water depth of this place has been measured earlier, and it is already a deep water area. So once you fall into the water, even if you can swim in the water, it is impossible to last long in this winter. If there is no rescue, it is a dead end.

And in such a line of sight and situation, the other party wants to rescue accurately, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

The smell of blood, barbecue and smoke were mixed, and the painful cries for help were vividly in their ears, bringing Zhu Changjue only endless oppression.

All they can do is passively counter the arrows.

But due to the line of sight, their attack effect is not great.

However, the momentum on the other side was huge, but they were afraid of being attacked and had to retreat again.

The retreat was urgent, the time was short, and the ships at the rear did not know what was happening in front of them, and the ships in front had already begun to retreat.

Bad luck, in order to open up the position and ensure the safety of Zhu Changjue's main ship to the greatest extent, the rear party forcibly ran into the boat behind......

Zhu Changjue looked back and found that the other party had only made a simple move, and he was already in a mess, so he was naturally angry......

In order to see the situation clearly, he had to change places again and climb to the lookout at the highest point of the main ship.

The lookout was originally built on three floors, and it was about seven or eight feet high to the surface of the water, but here he saw through the smoke and the fire, and saw a lot of things that he didn't see below.

Aggrieved!

A mere woman, with such a few people, actually forced him to such a point!

He had already taken a risk by appearing, and it was absolutely impossible for him to spend so long in this place!

Seeing that the fire had already decreased a lot, he was about to order a warship to go out and break through, but he blocked it in one breath......

Opposite side.

Cheng Ziyu endured the unpleasant irritating smell in her nose, suppressed the churning sour water, and resolutely gave three words: "Second round!" ”

Hundreds of guards suddenly appeared on the fan-shaped fleet, and they held the reins in their hands, pulling back like a tug-of-war, and in just a few breaths, they pulled back the brothers who had just broken into the front to carry out a sneak attack.

The plan has been laid out long ago, and the preparation is sufficient.

The armored guards who sneaked up on the attack completed this sortie with an excellent record of zero loss, and left against the wind without realizing it, as if it had never appeared.

The scrambling other party barely noticed, and the guards had just dragged the boat ashore, and the outermost edge of the fan-shaped fleet was once again lowered dozens of bamboo rafts, and then pushed out.

With the west wind, the bamboo raft with fire quietly entered the smoke.

Zhu Changjue watched, and again, the bamboo raft with the raging fire leaned towards them.

This time, the rafts were much larger, and I don't know what was piled up on them, and the smoke seemed to be bigger than the previous one......

Zhu Changjue clenched his fists. Could it be that he has to send someone to cut down the raft and put out the fire again at the risk of being attacked by a sneak attack? ……

Cheng Ziyu tightened her cloak.

The thousand-person guards sent by the Chamber of Commerce had never been sent out by her to take risks, so they helped with a lot of preparations in the two hours before and after.

Both the Cheng family and the He family's courtyard have large bamboo forests, and it is not difficult to cut them down to form a bamboo raft, nor does it take much time. So they have prepared hundreds of bamboo rafts, and they are not afraid of each other's demolition at all.

If the other party is willing to dismantle it, they will grind it slowly. These bamboo rafts were enough for them to grind for several hours.

But Cheng Ziyu knew very well in her heart that Zhu Changjue must not have that patience.

"Prepare for the third round! On the bamboo raft, take nails to fix the door panel, pile more firewood, and make the fire bigger. In this way, it will be more difficult for the other party to dismantle the bamboo raft, and it will take longer for the fire to burn out the bamboo raft!

Thirdly, the fourth round of bamboo rafts was lowered again, and the entire area of Taihu Lake was scorched like summer. The billowing smoke went straight to the sky, smoking the nose and mouth.

With such a movement, I'm afraid that the entire Taihu Lake basin should know about it, right?

This is also another reason why she lit the fire - to report the news!

At most, by dawn, all the officers and soldiers in the vicinity should be able to assemble......

Zhu Changjue's main ship had retreated to fifty or sixty zhang away.

And Zhu Changan was kicked down from the lookout by Zhu Changjue.

Zhu Changan never thought that he would have such a disgraced day.

Not only did he roll down the stairs with a clatter, but he was also pointed at and scolded by Zhu Changjue.

"You can't even be a dog! What am I keeping you for? Aren't you going to be a dog? Then you'll give me a bite on it! This is a good opportunity for you to atone for your sins and make meritorious contributions! Or, give me a sudden past, and from now on you will still be your king. Or, you just wait to be skinned and torn apart by Cheng Ziyu! ”

Zhu Changjue came to find a place to vent his anger, and secondly, he was also resentful, just now it was because Zhu Chang'an shouted that Cheng Ziyu put the bamboo raft to get arrows, he believed it, so he ordered the shuttle boat to go down to break the raft to extinguish the fire.

Hundreds of them, nearly 100 shuttle boats laid down, were all wiped out by the other party without any effective counterattack, and he was so angry that his liver hurt! And in the process of retreating, one of the ships was hit unfortunately, and I am afraid that it will not be able to go.

Not only is he empty, but he also has no face!

This account, he naturally has to find Zhu Changan to settle it! If it weren't for the misjudgment of the cargo and their own cleverness, how could they have lost so many people and so many ships?

That thing is stupid himself, and he is stupid, how can you bear it?

So, Zhu Changjue can't wait!

If Cheng Ziyu has been consumed like this, it's no problem to play for a few days and nights, right?

So, he decided - a strong burst.

As for the pioneer, it is naturally Zhu Chang'an, who has just made a big mistake!

He didn't let Zhu Changan go to death, but left him a tin boat with a sharp thorn.

This ship is sturdy and durable, as long as you hide in the cabin and use the power to disperse the other party's bamboo rafts, directly breaking this wall of fire, the boat behind it will no longer be a problem.

Zhu Chang'an's chest was churning so badly that he set off after his subordinates redressed the wound.

Compared with the pain in his body and the humiliation given by Zhu Changjue, he couldn't accept that he was confessed to Taihu Lake again in this life, and was explained to Cheng Ziyu, and he was explained in an unclear way, which was not as good as in his previous life.

He got on the pointy thorn ship wrapped in thick iron and drove straight away.

"Cheng Ziyu! This king will capture you with his own hands and break you into thousands of pieces! You wait for this king! Zhu Changan roared and shouted.

"Hands-on? Are you sure? Cheng Ziyu didn't say anything, but the three who were standing on the deck of the tall ship at the forefront laughed unscrupulously.

"Just because you are still qualified to talk to our master head-on? Just because you cripple and dare to shout? You still want to capture people with one hand? Our brothers wait, you just have to come up. Whoever doesn't dare to get on is a dog! ”

The morale of the guards is high, and naturally they will not let go of the opportunity to suppress the other party, and they support their waists one by one and burst into laughter.

"Oh, by the way, Zhu Changan, our master said that your arms are dirty!" Jia San signaled to go down, and Zhu Changan's little arm was thrown on the deck before, "So, our brothers feel that we can't make the master unhappy, and unanimously decided to chop your hand into pieces and feed it to the dog!" ”

Someone in the armor has brought the wolf dog that guards the garden on weekdays.

After the guards deliberately slammed the arm, dozens of wolf dogs swarmed up and grabbed the food......

Over there, Zhu Changan's eyes were about to split, his chest was surging, and he still held back a mouthful of blood. God knows how torturous it is to watch your torso being chopped up and your flesh being eaten.

"Cheng Ziyu! If this king does not cut you with a thousand knives, he will not be a man! Zhu Changan swallowed the blood that turned up in his chest again, got into the iron boat, and commanded the boat to rush into the wall of fire......
