The back of the juvenile Blood Sword Midge was still gray-black, but the slender body of the fish was covered with extremely hard scales, and the upper jaw of the fish's mouth, the protruding sword bones, were also quite sharp, which could easily pierce the leather armor and cause some damage to the hull.

Groups of blood sword midges fell into the lake, suddenly like a cat smelling fishy, shaking its tail like a sword, the speed is comparable to a sharp arrow off the string, in a moment, the underwater beasts in these rivers and lakes suddenly dispersed, occasionally passing through the burning fire boats, you can vaguely see the rippling waves on the lake.

In the previous battle of Tianhekou, one person sank two Chu warships, and led his seahorse cavalry to kill hundreds of Chu soldiers who fell into the river, it can be said that he is a bloody executioner.

As a sea army, the seahorse cavalry entered the Taihu Lake, but it was still a little unadaptable, and it was rarely dispatched on weekdays, so in the previous series of wars, the seahorse cavalry was the most well-preserved one.

Yangzhou city under the defeat one after another, nearly 100,000 troops are now six or seven, the rest of the soldiers and horses are mostly demoralized, although the source of the hundred battles thirsty killing, but he is not muscular and brainless, he knows that the expeditionary force at this moment is at the last moment, the front is the enemy in order to stop them and set up layers of obstacles, only through these barriers, they can enter the wide river, and follow the river all the way into the sea, and on the wide river, the enemy does not want to stop them half a step.

The seahorse under the crotch looked a little wilted, after leaving the seawater, the seahorse beast was a little unaccustomed, so it could only stay in the cabin of the ship that stored the seawater, but at this moment, it was not so much to consider, the enemy actually arranged a large number of fireboats on the water in front of the mouth of the lake, and the burning flames illuminated the darkness around them, so that everything could not be hidden.

General Banzheng, who came back, said that the enemy had built a large number of catapult positions on both sides of the lake, although these catapult positions fixed on land were more of an ornament for moving sea vessels, and if they were to bombard, they would definitely have the advantage.

But he understood the current situation of the fleet, because he left the dock in a hurry, and before, the cabin was full of looted goods from Yangzhou, and now the ships had few boulders in reserve, and they could not resupply, because on land, there were always enemies infested.

Poof, the seahorse beast spewed out another water arrow, shot at the side of the grasshopper boat, a large amount of lake water continued to pour into the small bilge of the grasshopper boat, poof, a cloud of water mist steamed, the burning giant wood suddenly became charred, and the flame was still unwilling to admit defeat, but as the boat fell, the flame was soon swallowed by the surrounding lake, and the light on the lake was missing.

The darkness was spreading, and the firelight was decreasing, but the river source Baizhan floating on the lake did not notice that there was a diluted smell of blood coming from the cabin of the grasshopper boats that they had sunk, and the boats that kept sinking into the lake were stuffed with internal organs and the like.

In the darkness, Heyuan Baizhan rushed towards the next firelight location, but suddenly Heyuan Baizhan screamed in pain, and on the thigh under the surface of the lake, it was as if he had been stabbed, and Heyuan Baizhan almost didn't think about it, so he pulled out the sword on the seahorse beast and slashed it fiercely under the lake.

The sharp sword slashed open the surface of the lake, setting off countless splashes, and there was obvious resistance on the knife body, when there was a sound, the knife actually seemed to be chopping on a piece of iron, making the sound of gold and stone clashing, and the knife could not advance an inch, Heyuan Baizhan was slightly startled, but the next moment, his face was as if he had opened a dye shop, and it became extremely pale and ugly.

Streams of blood continued to gush up, dyeing the sea water around Heyuan Baizhan red in a moment, and Heyuan Baizhan almost wailed, and his eyes widened, his eyes were full of red, obviously he was very unwilling to die like this.

Under the surface of the lake, together with the seahorse beast, it was torn clean by the sharp teeth of more than ten blood sword midges, and even the bones were bitten and shattered.

Blood sword midges, when they see blood, they will go crazy, and their greed for food has almost reached an unstoppable point, this is instinct, the instinct of evolution, only by constantly devouring, can they evolve and grow, those seahorse cavalry did not pay attention, maybe it is a little smell of blood on their bodies, which will bring them a catastrophe.

The screams were particularly bleak in the dark night, like the moonlight of water shining on the surface of the lake, but glowing with blood, the killing from the unknown made people feel terrible, but the seahorse cavalry did not know what was happening, and when they understood, they had already stepped into the ghost gate.

The screams were endless, in this silent night, spread far away, on the huge fleet hidden in the night, Inoue Shunji's face was gloomy, everything was fine, but who would have thought that he would suffer the biggest failure in his life here.

And now, he is a little unconfident that he can escape from this prosperous place known as the heart of Yangzhou, the other party really knows about their arrival, and it seems that it is impossible to pass through here quietly, so he can only make a forced breakthrough.

"Tell the ships, get ready for battle, and we'll break through!" Shunji Inoue slammed the railing hard, and his tone seemed to regain a bit of confidence.

Dozens of ordinary naval warships will be the head of the daredevils, and the rear is the most important force in Inoue Shunji, the sea beast warships, a total of seventy-six, although they only account for a quarter of the fleet, but as long as this force can rush out, then no matter how big the loss, it is not unacceptable.

In the darkness, the huge ship was like a hideous sea beast, breaking through the entanglement of the night, splitting the layers of water, and this fleet capable of crisscrossing the sea launched a strong attack on the narrow waterway in the darkness.

Peng, a grasshopper ship was directly hit head-on by the head of the naval warship, and the powerful impact force directly caused the grasshopper ship less than three zhang long to scatter, and the burning firewood on it scattered countless sparks, as bright as stars in the sky.

The darkness extended to the front again, but the figure of the Japanese army ship was still observed by the sentinels on the shore, and suddenly a burst of gongs sounded above the camp, and the camps that were silent in the darkness suddenly lit up one after another, and the firelight instantly illuminated the two peninsulas on the left and right.

Countless bonfires, comparable to the stars in the sky, dense firelight from the shore of the lake has spread up to the inland hills, almost impossible to count how many bonfires, and I can't tell how much power is arranged here, but just the countless fires, almost illuminating the sky, and the soldiers on the Japanese ships who saw this scene, their confidence was ravaged again.

In the camp like daytime, there was a sound of oh hey, oh hey, huge catapults, but they were sharp weapons for siege, which could throw tons of boulders, and the big bucket spoons, even if they sat on seven or eight people, would not be too crowded, but at this moment, these giant catapults were not loaded with large stones that could only be moved by small hanging towers, but clay pots.

These clay pots are very crisp, a little violent bump and vibration will make them shatter, and these clay pots, naturally filled with a large amount of oil, a large bucket spoon, at least 30 catties of a pot of clay pots can be placed, stacked neatly, like a beehive.

"Release!" With an order, the giant catapult took the lead in making a heavy whistling sound, the huge throwing arm, raised high, and when it reached the highest point, the clay pot on it suddenly flew out like a goddess scattering flowers.

This kind of projection is not chaotic, these giant catapults have already measured the coverage, and almost at the same time, they are projected from many camps, and in each camp, only two or three catapults do so.

Although no more than a tenth of the catapults were used, the crockpots that were thrown out were widely scattered, and not all of them were thrown blindly towards the Japanese warships that flashed out of the darkness, almost all over the large area in front of the lake's mouth waterway.

Peng, a clay pot fell in advance, carrying a not weak falling force to smash on the surface of the lake, don't look at it is water, but at a certain speed of high-speed impact, the force is not weak at all, the already brittle clay pot suddenly shattered and exploded, and the black fire oil in it was scattered around.

And in this pot of hot oil, there is not only fire oil, but also combustible phosphorus powder, when the terracotta pot is broken, the phosphorus powder is exposed to the air, and some sparks are ignited, and these sparks suddenly ignite the flammable fire oil, boom, all of them are ignited within ten meters around.

One after another, the canisters of fire oil shattered, and the oil floating on the surface of the lake quickly condensed into pieces, and suddenly a sea of fire formed, and the lake that had been in the darkness became bright again, and the huge sea ships hidden in the darkness revealed their true faces one by one.

Peng, a ship rushing forward was very unlucky to be hit by a terracotta pot, shattered on the deck of the oil, suddenly ignited more than a dozen people on the deck, the fire of the oil can not be extinguished, but more and more bigger, the island does not produce oil, so many Japanese soldiers do not understand this kind of thing at all, rolling and running, but the fire is passed to more people.

Poof, a bucket of water was splashed, but the water did not extinguish the fire, but let the fire oil on the deck flow in all directions through the water, and in a short time, the foredeck was enveloped in raging flames, and the ignited Japanese soldiers screamed again and again, which was terrifying to hear.

The ships were still rushing forward according to their inertia, advancing in the sea of fire, and in this bright flame, the Japanese ships had almost nowhere to hide, and on the peninsula in the distance, catapults were already waiting for these naval ships to enter the coverage area.
