Chapter 2257 Attacking Chibi even against the wind
On the bank of the river, in the sentry tower on a hill in the Chu Army's water village, Tao Yuanming, who was wearing a cloak and a medicine belt on his head, had a gloomy face and blue lips, looking at the fire dragon horn on the river in the distance.
As he was sinking slowly, he gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, damn it, it's actually a Kunlun slave, it's actually these niggas in the water, I've calculated everything, how could I miss this!"
A petite figure on one side, also wearing a cloak, turned his face, and Liu Tingyun's extremely beautiful face had a smile on her face: "I didn't expect that Tao Gong, who has Zhuge's calculations, also sometimes miscalculates, haha, but
Things are really unpredictable.”
Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry, I didn't let you see the scene where the Fire Dragon ascended to the sky and your best friend died. However, judging from the current situation, Liu Yi and He Wuji were already prepared. I'm afraid they have seen through me long ago.
According to my plan, I would never board a ship to fight a Hu Fan personally. In the final analysis, I underestimated them."
Liu Tingyun said calmly: "I hope Tao Gong can remember the lesson learned this time and never underestimate your enemy again. Although this battle is still going on, the outcome is actually decided. Although the Chu army has many warships, it lacks
These three old Wu thieves from the Beifu Army are very flexible as boatmen. Moreover, Liu Yi has another trump card this time. In less than half an hour, the entire Chu army fleet will be plunged into a sea of fire. Tao Gong, you better
It’s better to evacuate as soon as possible.”
Tao Yuanming frowned: "Fire attack? I have thought about this tactic, but the west wind is fierce now. Where can the fire attack come from? It will burn back to the Beifu Army itself."
Liu Tingyun smiled slightly: "Yesterday, an expert told me a story, which was also a new skill Liu Yi learned a while ago. I didn't believe it before, but after listening to it, I realized that it was a fact. If I hadn't caught it now
As for Princess Langya and her daughter, I am really interested in staying and seeing this magnificent scene. However, now I have to hurry up and leave. At least Xunyang City is still peaceful now. If you give me the token to enter the city, I can bring it
With the Chu brothers sneaking in, if the news of the true defeat of the army comes, the soldiers in the city will definitely be dispersed, and then the rebels and bandits will start looting, and my plan may be ruined."
Tao Yuanming nodded, took out a token from his arms and threw it to Liu Tingyun: "This is the token made by Huanxuan himself. It is equivalent to a holiday. It allows all officers below the general to obey orders. You enter Xunyang City.
There is no problem in taking away Princess Langya. However, if the Chu army is not defeated, even if you take people out of the city, you won't be able to go far."
Liu Tingyun said with a smile: "I don't have your ability, I can leap with ease. I'm just a weak woman. Riding in a carriage is too bumpy and I can't run fast. I will leave an informant here. If the Chu army is defeated, he will send out a warning signal.
Yes, I will take action at that time. After all, I don’t want to take on someone and indemnify myself. If I are caught in front of Huan Xuan, I will be dead!"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "You are a smart woman, I believe you will not let a group of stupid warriors catch you, but please remember, this is the second time you owe me a favor."
Liu Tingyun smiled and turned around, a gust of fragrant wind blew by, and her words followed the wind: "Your favors will definitely be repaid tenfold in the future. Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Tao Yuanming looked at her back, turned around, and took one last look at the warships on the river. He suddenly discovered that the warships of the Beifu Army's front army all raised their side sails. Under the headwind, their speed increased instantly.
Originally they were still about a hundred paces ahead of the Chu fleet, but now, like galloping horses, in almost a minute or two, more than thirty warships all rushed into the Chu fleet.
Tao Yuanming was stunned and murmured: "Are you crazy?"
The Chu army's central fleet, the Shuilong, and He Danzhi, like Tao Yuanming on the shore, opened their eyes wide and murmured: "Are you crazy? The small boat got into the large fleet, and the large boat needed to extend the racket poles from both sides.
These boats can be sunk from top to bottom. There is such a huge difference in number and size. What do they want to do?"
Feng Gai suddenly pointed forward and shouted: "They are throwing things on our warship!"
He Danzhi pointed at it and looked over. He saw the warships of the Beifu Army passing through the gaps between the buildings and ships one after another, just like the express electric vehicles passing between heavy trucks on the streets of later generations. However,
Piles of black things were thrown from these small boats to these large ships. However, after being thrown on, they were nailed to the planks of the large ships and could not fall off again.
He Danzhi murmured to himself: "What the hell is this?!"
On the Flying Fish, the ship planks on both sides were lowered, and the entire side was exposed. The ship was flying at a speed, and a long pole and racket pole protruding from the hole in the side of the ship flew past, while a two-man boat flew past.
A young man in his teens, who was strong and powerful, commanded more than a dozen warriors to throw the black key-like objects in the baskets behind him at the passing building ships.
On the sides, one end of these "keys" is a sharp iron awl with barbs, while the other side is made of pine hemp soaked in tung oil, sulfur, saltpeter and other fire-starting materials. As long as there is a spark,
, can burn violently.
The young man in charge shouted: "General He, can this iris torch really burn down buildings and ships?" This man was Du Huidu, the son of Du Yuan, the governor of Jiaozhou, who once served as a guard in the palace. Since Sima Yao's death,
He stayed with the Beijing Guards, because in addition to his status as a foreign vassal prince, he was also like a hostage and could not leave the capital easily. Later, he experienced a series of changes, and finally defected to the Beifu Army along with the Capital Guards.
, also volunteered to become a member of the Western Expeditionary Army. When he was in the palace, he became acquainted with He Wuji, and he also volunteered to join the front army of Wuji Camp and became a military envoy on the ship.
He Wuji smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Mr. Du, don't worry, hundreds of torches are nailed to the ship's planks. Once they burn, it won't take half a moment to burn a large ship to ashes. What we have to do
,that is…………"
As he spoke, he picked up his big bow, turned around and walked to the rear hatch. He fired a rocket at the two ships that had already rushed out more than ten steps away and were filled with iris torches. This rocket was in the air.
A shining arc was drawn, and it hit the tail of an iris torch. Suddenly, the fire and dry grass met happily, and the fire caused a volcanic eruption. The entire side of the ship instantly rose into the sky.
The fire broke out, and the more than 30 buildings lined up in a row, almost instantly, under the attack of dozens of rockets, burst into flames, black smoke rose into the sky, the river surface turned red, and the soldiers screamed.
The sound of water and the sound of falling water merged into one.
He Wuji turned around with a smile, pointed at the Guo Quan ship about fifty steps ahead with the "Guo" flag hanging high, and said with a smile: "The next target is this one!"
