Chapter 593
The night breeze was blowing, and a horse galloped over, and said urgently: "General Qiyu, the navy is ready to stop!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted, and the white spear pointed: "Ignite!"
Whew!
A group of soldiers lit the torches in their hands, and then lit the pile of firewood in front of them, which was extremely dry and burned very quickly, and soon it was blazing.
The firewood was slowly lit one after another, as if a fire was spreading, and it was impossible to distinguish the real from the other side.
"It's out of the water!"
"Fight the fire block by piece!" fetch water to ......"
There was a lot of confusion, as if a pot had exploded, and the fire was burning more and more vigorously and widely.
On the north bank, in the Jiangdong Army Water Village, thousands of sails gathered, and Sun Ce led the generals to wait on the battleship, and countless pairs of eyes looked at the opposite shore in unison.
At this time, the fire on the opposite bank was getting bigger and brighter, and it seemed to have set the entire sky on fire, and the mood of Sun Ce and the Jiangdong soldiers seemed to be burning.
At this moment, Sun Ce's heart was pounding with excitement, but his face was still as unmoving as a mountain, just looking closely at the other side of the riverbank, watching the changes.
He was waiting for a report from the scouts on the river.
A flat boat came quickly.
"General Qiyu, the fire on the other side is in the direction of the Hao army barracks, and the Hao soldiers on the shore are full of noise and chaos, and they are all fighting the fire!"
Sun Ce's spirits were greatly lifted, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement, and he suddenly drew his sword and roared: "The whole army attack, kill!"
Hundreds of Jiangdong warships rushed out of the water village in unison, and in front of them, there were more than 20 warships loaded with firewood, fire oil and saltpeter.
With twenty ships loaded with flammable materials as the front, taking advantage of the tailwind, they began to re-enter the attack on the Haoying camp on the opposite bank.
Hundreds of Jiangdong warships quickly all sailed halfway, gradually killing the opposite side, and everyone could even clearly see the fire in the distance and the chaotic Hao army.
Woooooo
At this moment, the trumpet suddenly sounded loudly on the entire water, and the desolate and distant sound swept across the entire river like a hurricane, and could be heard within ten miles.
Immediately afterwards, the river was lit up with ship lights, and the entire river suddenly lit up, and hundreds of warships suddenly appeared like ghosts on the river surface that was originally misty at night, outflanking the warships of the Jiangdong Army from the front, left, and right directions.
Hit the trick!
In an instant, Sun Ce's face changed greatly, and he shouted urgently: "Hurry up and set the boat on fire!"
The enemy army came from three sides, and they were extremely densely arranged on the not wide river, as long as the fireboat plan worked, there would still be a dozen in this water battle, and Sun Ce had to make a desperate bet at this time.
On the river, the Jiangdong Army fleet was already approaching the range of arrows, and the crossbow arrows were overwhelming, attacking the approaching enemy ships.
The Jiangdong army withstood the rain of arrows in the sky and desperately approached the south.
Jiang Qin, who had escaped before, stood in front of the battleship, and a group of pro-soldiers held four or five large shields in front of them, which was worthy of blocking the attacking arrows.
Seeing that the fleet was approaching the Zhihao warship array, Jiang Qin's eyes froze, and he shouted: "Set fire to the ship!"
When the order was laid, the soldiers on the battleship in front quickly lit torches and ignited the firewood, grass and oil hidden in the hull.
The raging fire grew rapidly, and in just a moment, twenty warships were all turned into frenzied fireships.
The soldiers on board hurriedly changed to the warships behind them, and all the ropes involved were cut off, and the twenty fireboats, like monsters with tongues of fire, rushed towards the camp by the strength of the south wind.
The sound of orders on the river sounded, the soldiers of the Hao army, dozens of warships were in place, and only Gan Ning gave an order, and he could kill the water village.
The fireship was speeding down the wind, and in the blink of an eye it was speeding closer.
Gan Ning, who was on the main ship, judged the right time, pointed forward with the halberd in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army will attack, block the fireship for me, and not let go of a single one." ”
In the roar, the flag waved, the war drums roared, and dozens of warships sped out to meet the blazing fireship.
"Stretch out the pole and stop the fireboat!" Gan Ning roared as he brandished his halberd.
The dozens of warships immediately slowed down, and the soldiers at the tail got out of the cabin, stretched out bamboo poles several feet long, and struggled to support the oncoming fireship.
This special pole will have an iron tip at the top, which can easily hold the fireboat without worrying about the fire and the bamboo pole body.
The fireboat was blocked by force, and the Hao army warships on three sides also flew to surround and kill, surrounding the Jiangdong army in the center of the river.
Crossbow arrows rained down on the warships of the Jiangdong Army, and the officers and men of the Jiangdong Army on the warships did not dare to raise their heads at all, and many of the warships relied on their own impact force to unscrupulously rush towards the warships of the Jiangdong Army.
Kill!
On a Jiangdong ship, Jiangdong General Jiang Qin saw that the fire attack strategy failed, and the whole army fell into the encirclement of the Hao army, and immediately drove the ship to the flagship of Hao Bai.
Among the many large ships of the vast army, Jiang Qin's battleship was extremely inconspicuous, and the attention of the soldiers was focused on the big ship of the Jiangdong Army, and Jiang Qin quietly approached the flagship.
Syllable!
As soon as the boat ran under the flagship, Jiang Qin threw out a flying grab and grabbed the edge of the battleship's deck, and then the soldiers appeared and flew towards the battleship.
Without waiting for the soldiers to cut the flying iron cable, Jiang Qin had already jumped up, jumped onto the deck, and then carried a big knife all the way to kill Haobai on the second floor.
Woohoo!
Countless sharp arrows flew towards Jiang Qin, and the war knife in Jiang Qin's hand danced a curtain of light and knocked the arrows around him one after another, and soon ran up to the second floor.
Haobai had actually discovered Jiang Qin a long time ago, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted: "Let him come over!"
After all the soldiers received the order, they retreated to both sides, and Jiang Qin, who had escaped from the encirclement, didn't have time to think about it, picked up the big knife, jumped up, and pounced towards Haobai.
Listening to a bang, Jiang Qin's big knife slashed the vast white spear, and after shining a spark, Jiang Qin's body was like a kite with a broken string, and he was shocked and flew back, and after landing, he retreated six or seven steps in a row to stabilize his body.
Jiang Qin's face became extremely pale, he never imagined that he had worked so hard to kill Hao Bai's side, but he didn't want to be unable to catch the opponent's move.
"Arrest him!"
As soon as Haobai's order came out, all the soldiers immediately pounced on him like wolves and tied up Jiang Qin......
"Retreat, retreat!"
On the river, the battleships of the Jiangdong Army were completely unable to resist under the heavy attack of the Hao warships on three sides, and under Sun Ce's wild shouts, the horns of the retreating troops sounded loudly, and the warships retreated to the north one after another.
Where the soldiers of the Hao army were willing to give up, hundreds of Hao warships followed, and they killed in the direction of Wuhu City on the north bank.
The Jiangdong Army's naval army was broken, and tens of thousands of Hao Army cavalry were the first to land on the shore, and after a little assembly by the river, they rushed towards Wuhu City like a tide.
