Chapter 293: Burning the Ship

The Xuanyan Grand Canal was dug out by undertaking the ice and snow water of the Tianji grassland.

Yanqi County is the starting point, and Wuding County is the second stop.

The amount of water in the canal is not too abundant in Wuding County, and the river is not very wide, and it is precisely in this way that the canal can pass through the city from Jintianfu.

Generally speaking, as soon as a merchant ship enters AllBright, it is towed by a slender man......

That's right, it's the kind of slender man who sings "Sister, you sit on the bow of the boat, brother, I walk on the shore, and I love and love the rope and swing slowly".

It was a 36-shipper-masted ship that transported more than 10,000 people out of AllHeaven, and the speed of sailing was not fast.

After walking for half an hour, the three-masted ship at the back was just parallel to the people of AllHeaven, who were walking at the forefront on the shore.

At this moment, the northern barbarian army broke through the interception of the left army of the Zhenbei army, and the longitudinal horses caught up with the thirty-six three-masted ships.

The Northern Barbarian fierce horsemen in front of them took out animal skin water bladders from their saddles, unscrewed them and smashed them one by one into the three-masted boat.

A pungent, burnt-black liquid spilled out of the hides......

The Northern Barbarian horsemen who followed behind lit rockets and shot them into the ship......

Flames, from small to large!

Soon it turned into a sky-high flame, enveloping the entire three-masted ship.

These three-masted ships must have been brushed with fireproof tung oil, and the slightest flame will definitely not be able to ignite the entire ship.

But the formula of rocket and fire oil can burn even stones, let alone wooden ships......

The lucky people sitting on the deck saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately jumped into the river, only suffering the people in the cabin.

They had no idea what was going on the deck at all......

By the time they spotted smoke filling the cabin, they had missed their last chance to escape......

......

"Dawu!"

Brilliant firelight jumped in Zhiqiu's pupils.

She tried her best to suppress the anxiety in her heart, telling herself that she couldn't mess up, she couldn't mess up......

Her own man was killing the enemy in the rear, and she was going to guard the eight hundred men for him.

She used her brain desperately, imagining how her man would respond if he were here.

Wearing the Xuanwu Hall Incense Lord Dawu, who was wearing the Xuanwu Fish Scale Armor, walked quickly behind Zhiqiu, clasped his fists and bowed, "Sister-in-law!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Zhiqiu clasped the side of the boat with both hands, and said in a trembling voice.

"Yes!"

Dawu did not hesitate to take out the four-gang ring arrow from his waist and pull it away.

"Bang!"

Sharp arrows exploded in the sky, and after a few breaths, several Xuanwutang brothers rushed to the bow of the big ship on the No. 3 boat behind them, waiting for instructions.

Zhiqiu looked at the approaching Northern Barbarian fierce horseman, and shouted desperately at the throat: "Organize all the uncles and sisters in the cabin to jump out of the cabin!"

"Brother Xuanwutang, remove your armor!"

"You must protect Hall Master Li's family!"

When the Xuanwu cousin on the No. 3 ship heard this, he replied loudly: "Yes, sister-in-law!"

Zhiqiu turned his head, holding the stone with one hand and Xia Tao with the other, his hands turned white because he was too hard, and Xia Tao grinned, wanting to scream but not daring to scream.

"Dawu, do what I say immediately!"

"Yes, sister-in-law!"

Dawu turned around, tore off the belt around his waist and unloaded his armor, walked to the cabin, and shouted: "The people in the cabin have all come out, and they are about to go out of the water, brothers, quickly unload the armor!"

Zhiqiu turned around, the distant firelight was already approaching, and there were more than five or six boats away from them!

Is it enough to evacuate the three or four hundred people in the cabin in such a short time?

Even if they could all withdraw and jump into the river before the Biaobei barbarian cavalry arrived, it was still unknown whether these 800 people, except for the fifty Xuanwutang brothers, were either old and weak, or women and children, and whether they could swim ashore.

"Master, the concubine is going to disappoint you. ”

Zhiqiu sighed weakly in his heart.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

At this time, Zhiqiu's mind was full of eight hundred people on these two ships, and he didn't think about himself at all.

Until Xia Tao pulled her, she whispered timidly: "Sister." ”

Zhiqiu turned his head and threw away a questioning look.

Xia Tao pointed to the boiling river below and asked, "Do you know how to water?"

Zhiqiu was stunned, and suddenly made a difficulty.

In this era, few women know how to water except for fishermen.

But Zhiqiu immediately thought of the stone beside him, turned his head to hold his little face, and asked in a slow tone, "Stone, do you know water?"

The stone grabbed the side of the boat, stood on tiptoe to look at the river under the boat, and asked innocently, "Grandma, do you want to eat fish?"

......

"Wow......"

"Mother, mother......"

"Master, what can I do!"

"I can't go, I can't walk, the next life, you put me down, run for your life, don't worry about my old bones." ”

In the cabin of the No. 3 ship, there is already chaos!

The sound of cries, shouts, and wails boiled in the closed cabin, and the exit of the cabin was narrow, and three or four hundred people rushed to this exit in panic, squeezing around, and the result was that the speed of exiting the cabin, which was already not fast, became even slower.

Brother Xuanwutang, who led the team here, was so anxious that he couldn't hold back and pulled out his waist knife to hack a few random bastards to death, but he thought that these were the wives and children of his comrades-in-arms, so he could only desperately hold back his impatience, and shouted at the throat: "Don't mess up, everyone!"

"Don't mess around!"

"Line up, come one by one!"

However, he shouted and let him shout, and the crowd was still in chaos.

In the corner of the cabin, Li Youniang held Li Jintian in one hand and her weak sister-in-law with the other, anxiously mixed in the chaotic crowd, squeezing towards the hatch little by little.

As a family, of course, they are qualified to stay on the deck like Zhiqiu and them.

The deck is spacious and the air is good and more comfortable.

But Hua Gu has not yet come out of confinement, she can't see the light and can't stand the wind, how dare she blow the river breeze on the deck, and Li Youniang can only accompany her to stay under the cabin.

"Don't squeeze!"

"We have confinement women here, we can't squeeze it!"

The crowd was crowded, Li Youniang was a weak female streamer, holding a child in one hand and a confined woman in the other, and she couldn't stand steadily in the crowd, so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Young lady, young lady!"

Hua Gu suddenly grabbed her hand and said angrily: "I can't walk, you don't care, run away with the child!"

"No way!"

Li Youniang cried all of a sudden, shaking her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, my brother will hand you over to me, and you want to go together!"

"Listen to me!"

Hua Gu also cried: "It's just such a little blood and bones in charge, if you take me with you, none of us can leave...... Take Jintian with you, I beg you!"

After speaking, she let go of Li Youniang's hand, her body slipped and fell to the ground softly, and several frightened ladies and the chaotic crowd instantly overwhelmed her.

Li Youniang was frightened and screamed in shock: "Sister-in-law!"

"Sister of the Li family, sister of the Li family......"

Several Xuanwu cousins heard her shouts and squeezed desperately towards her against the chaotic crowd.

However, Li Youniang was already carried by the crowd and walked forward for a distance, and even she didn't know where her sister-in-law had fallen!

......

Zhang Chu didn't know how many Northern Barbarian fierce horses he had killed, but the Northern Barbarian fierce horses in front of him were still layered and dense, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance.

"Kill the horse!"

Zhang Chu was tired of killing, and he was tired of killing, and the anger in his chest finally broke out.

He roared angrily, swung the Xuanhua big axe and smashed it out, and the huge fiery red axe-shaped energy of a small house fell among the dense Northern Barbarian cavalry, and exploded.

Plasma poured down like a torrential downpour.

The stump dances like cherry blossoms.

Among the Northern Barbarian army like a black wave, he cleared a clearing of land with one move!

But just like drawing a knife to cut off the water and make the water flow, as soon as the clearing appeared, it was immediately filled by countless black northern barbarian fierce horses.

It's still a vicious face!

These Northern Barbarians are like killing machines that are tireless and fearless!

Zhang Chu became more and more furious...... If he had hair now, it would stand on end.

He frantically urged all the blood and qi in his body, and was about to make another big move to slaughter a Northern Barbarian fierce horseman, when he suddenly heard the mule behind him shout in panic: "Master Chu, look!"

When I turned around, I saw that the sky was dark!

He was submerged in the black Northern Barbarian army, unable to see the fire in front of him through the dense black Northern Barbarian army.

He could only see the black smoke that was like a black dragon, almost obscuring the sun.

He was stunned for a second.

Then I felt chills all over my body.

It was at this moment that several low, wolf-like horns slowly spread out over the battlefield.

Zhang Chu could hear that this was the clarion call of the Northern Barbarians retreating......
