On the Taihu Lake, more than 5,000 large and small warships carrying 200,000 troops marched towards Wucheng, and the white sails densely covered the surface of the lake, as if a thick layer of snowflakes was spread on the surface of the lake, which was extremely spectacular.

Hao Bai stood on the flagship, and saw more than 1,000 Jiangdong warships, which were densely arranged in the northeast direction, and he didn't feel a slight movement in his heart.

"I'm afraid that the enemy will use fire, and the lord ordered that the ships should be too close to each other, and at the same time, each ship should be equipped with more poles to strictly prevent fire!" Guo Jia beside him hurriedly reminded.

Haobai nodded, according to Guo Jia's intention to pass the order, the enemy deliberately stationed troops in the northeast direction, I am afraid that there is the meaning of setting fire to the ship, although the battleships have added long pointed heads to the bow, but if there are many enemy ships, I am afraid that it will add a lot of trouble to their side.

At this time, noon had passed, the whole army had finished eating, the north wind was in full swing, and everyone's fighting spirit was also raging.

The flag waved, and the rumbling sound of war drums rose like thunder.

The army dispatched only a little more than a thousand warships and launched an attack on the enemy fleet in the northeast.

The huge momentum made the Jiangdong naval army, which was already a little frightened, change color.

Seeing that the battleship was about to approach the enemy's ship formation, the distance between the two sides was less than two hundred zhang, and further on, it was the range of the bow and crossbow, and the Jiangdong warship was still immovable.

At this moment, from the battleship of the Jiangdong Army, a series of firelight suddenly flew up and flew all over the sky, and the blazing firelight covered the sky on most of the lake.

Fire Kite!

It was a dense fire kite, spread all over the sky, and with the momentum of the northeast wind, it swooped down on the vast army in the southwest direction, like a meteor shower in the sky.

In an instant, the faces of the soldiers of the Hao Army couldn't help but change greatly.

Gan Ning raised his halberd and shouted: "Pay attention to extinguishing the fire and move forward at full speed!"

As soon as the words fell, several fire kites took advantage of the hunting lake wind to hula and flew up to the mast of his main ship, because it was a headwind and did not hang the sails, the fire kites fell again, and landed on the pile of sails at the foot of the mast, and ignited a fire.

"Quick, put out the fire quickly!" Gan Ning shouted urgently.

One by one, the fire kites flew in densely, and many ships were lit with fires, and the soldiers on the ship couldn't help but rush around to put out the fire, and the chaos was abnormal.

However, the warships were already within a hundred feet of the enemy's ships, and they had no choice but to attack, so they had to rush forward with the dense fire kites.

At this moment, the warships of the Jiangdong Army finally dispatched, and I saw small boats speeding out of the ship formation and heading straight for the battleships of the Hao Army, there were hundreds of them.

Looking closely, I saw that the boats were full of firewood, and several Jiangdong soldiers in front of them were holding large shields to block crossbow arrows, while the soldiers behind had lit torches.

The Jiangdong soldiers on the ship were covered with solidified river mud all over their bodies, even on their faces, looking extremely weird, obviously because they were burned for themselves.

"It's a fireboat, put the poles!" Gan Ning shouted urgently.

The warships intercepted the enemy's fireships one after another, but there were too many enemy fireships, and soon a raging fire was ignited, and it rushed densely.

The soldiers on the battleship raised the pole and wanted to resist the galloping fireship, but the Jiangdong army on the opposite fireship raised a sharp blade and viciously broke the pole, and then threw out the iron anchor, firmly hooked the battleship, and pulled hard, and the two warships were fixed together.

By the time it was too late to take off the iron anchor, the fire on the Jiangdong fireship soon spread to the battleship, and the officers and men of the Jiangdong Army on the enemy ship jumped into the water with fire all over their bodies, and the Hao army on the burned battleship had to turn over and enter the water, and started a fierce battle with the Jiangdong Army in the water.

Woohoo!

Just when the Jiangdong Army's suicidal fireship attack made the warships of the Hao Army unable to dodge and was in chaos, a continuous rain of arrows sounded in the air, covering the sky and the sun, rushing towards the Hao Army's warships.

At this time, there were still sixty or seventy zhang between the two armies, and if it was an ordinary arrow, it would not cause much damage in the face of the mighty army with excellent defense, but it was not ordinary arrows flying in the sky, but blazing rockets.

Fire kites, fire ships and rockets, Zhou Yu and others interpreted the fire attack to the extreme this time!

Under this kind of frenzied fire attack, although the Jiangdong Army suffered heavy casualties, and countless people were shot and burned to death, two or three percent of the battleships of the Hao Army were caught in the flames, and thick smoke billowed out.

Haobai in the distance, standing on the platform on the giant ship, saw it really clearly, and couldn't help but admire Zhou Yu's strategy and the Jiangdong people's fearlessness of death.

"Blow the trumpet, withdraw the troops!"

He took a deep breath.

"Lord, don't!" Pang Tong beside him said urgently.

Haobai looked at Pang Tong suspiciously, and said: "If you don't withdraw your troops, the battleships will be burned out, and it will be enough to burn the battleships, and the soldiers will also suffer heavy losses." ”

Pang Tong hurriedly said: "If the troops are withdrawn at this time, the Jiangdong Army will be dispatched with the whole army, and the fireboats, fire kites and rockets will also come at the tail, and our warships will be dense, and the U-turn and retreat will inevitably be chaotic, I am afraid that the Jiangdong Army will take advantage of it." ”

Hao Bai looked at the battleship in front of him that was caught in flames, and said, "Is it impossible to watch our soldiers burned down!"

Pang Tong looked at the sky and said with a firm expression: "Please wait a while, the subordinates are expected to rain in less than half an hour, and then Zhou Yu's fire plan will naturally be broken, and then the whole army will be dispatched, then the Jiangdong Navy will be defeated!"

Haobai was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw that the sky was clear, and there was a sign of rain somewhere.

But soon, as soon as Pang Tong's words fell, the originally clear sky suddenly gradually darkened.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and in less than a stick of incense, the whole sky is black and oppressive.

Rumble!

A flash of lightning flashed in the sky, and then a muffled thunder exploded, shaking the entire lake and even muffling the shouts of killing on the lake.

The soldiers on the rear ship formation of the Hao army looked at the sky together, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, for fear that they would not dare to rain in fear.

And Zhou Yu in the northeast was also looking up at the sky, with a sad and angry look on his face, his eyes were round, staring fiercely at the black and oppressive dark clouds.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and unconsciously wiped it off his face, and his fingers were already covered with water droplets.

It's raining!

One drop, two drops, three drops......

Whoa!

The rain in the sky came as soon as it was said, and it began to pour down in an instant.

Accompanied by the strong wind, the raindrops of beans fell on the surface of the lake, splashing thousands of flowers.

The rain also fell on the battleship, on the raging fire, and made a popping sound, crushing the crazy flames little by little, until the flames were extinguished.

The rain became heavier and heavier, like a curtain of beads, and it was desperately pouring down on the lake and the battleship, and the smoke was billowing on the lake, and there was no spark in sight.

"God really help me, the whole army will attack and set foot in Jiangdong!"
