Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 60 59. Great Results
Feng Xi shook the spear in his hand, shaking off Jiang Qin's bloodstains.

"kill!"

The elite troops of the Shenwu Camp behind him also rushed forward and fought with the leaderless Wu army.

The Wu army was originally calling for rescue, and Jiang Qin mistakenly thought that they were going to support the naval battle, so the soldiers were not fully prepared. As soon as they came into contact with the fully armed Shenwu Camp, they were killed and fled.

Feng Xi did not let the soldiers continue chasing and killing, but turned around and ordered his men to pick up the big flag with the word "Chiang" on the ground, and asked the soldiers in front to put on the green uniforms of Wu's army and head towards Wu's water stronghold again.

"Commander-in-chief! There are troops coming from afar!"

Zhu Ran originally wanted to try to save the boats in the water fort, but the fire was too big, so he had no choice but to give up. Hearing that other people were coming, he also looked at the scout.

"Whose flag are you flying?"

"The governor is Jiang, so it should be General Jiang Qin."

"Fortunately, Jiang Gongyi, who knows everything about water, came to rescue us. We may be able to keep some boats."

Zhu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that the one coming was not a reinforcement, but the god of death.

Feng Xi saw the Wu army's water fort in front of him, which was illuminated by the fire as bright as day. Countless Wu army sailors were running around with bare chests or trying to put out the fire with pots and pans. No one had time to pay attention to him. He simply pointed his spear, and more than a thousand soldiers from the Shenwu Battalion behind him charged directly at the unsuspecting Wu army navy.

"Oh no! These aren't Jiang Gongyi's soldiers! They're Shu troops!"

When Zhu Ran saw the other party rushing towards him, he was not a fool. He immediately realized that the other party might have already intercepted and killed Jiang Qin's reinforcements.

"Withdraw! Those who can go into the water, do so. Those who can hide in the woods, do so! Gather at General Yigong's camp!"

Zhu Ran made a prompt decision and simply split the soldiers into small groups to preserve their strength.

Feng Xi naturally had no time to pay attention to those miscellaneous soldiers. After all, he only had a thousand elite troops coming for the raid. How long would it take to capture them?
But Feng Xi had no intention of letting go of the man in the distance who was wearing extraordinary armor, giving orders, and being protected by a group of soldiers.

"Don't let that Wu general escape!"

Feng Xi led his soldiers directly to attack Zhu Ran. Although Zhu Ran's personal soldiers tried to protect Zhu Ran and retreat, after a great defeat and a great fire, Zhu Ran's personal soldiers also threw away their armor and weapons and were exhausted. They were no match for the Shenwu Camp in the first place, and now they were easily killed by the Shenwu Camp.

"Ugh!"

The shiny swords of the Shenwu Camp easily cut through the flesh of the Wu soldiers; the sharp spears effortlessly pierced into the bodies of the Wu soldiers. The Wu soldiers were like lambs to be slaughtered, being mercilessly slaughtered by the Shenwu Camp.

Zhu Ran had no time to escape and was surrounded. He and a dozen of his personal soldiers formed a circle with their backs against each other, preparing for a desperate fight.

"Get out of the way."

Suddenly Feng Xi gave an order, and the Shenwu Camp immediately made way for a spacious passage, which made Zhu Ran's personal soldiers seem relieved.

"You bastard! Even if you let me go, I will remember this grudge! Next time..."

Zhu Ran thought that the other party was trying to humiliate him and that he was not worthy of being captured alive and that the other party wanted to let him go, so he started cursing.

"Shut up, who wants to let you go? I'm worried about our brothers getting hurt. Shenji Battalion, get ready."

Feng Xi rolled his eyes at Zhu Ran. He had no relationship with him, so how could he let go of the duck he had caught? What good things were he thinking?

More than 300 elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp holding Shenbi crossbows came to the front of the team, facing the empty side. The crossbow arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at the poor dozen people in the field, making them swallow their saliva. "Well, can we discuss it? I am willing to..."

Zhu Ran was also a little weak. He opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but Feng Xili ignored him.

"You still want to resist? Shoot, shoot."

In an instant, more than 300 crossbow arrows whizzed towards the dozen people in the field. Zhu Ran tried to block with his gun, but the power of the divine crossbow itself was extremely strong, and the distance was quite close. Zhu Ran blocked two crossbow arrows, and was shot into a hedgehog by more than ten crossbow arrows that followed, with his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

"Take the head of this Wu general back as a reward for tonight's battle. Retrieve the crossbow arrows. There is no need to clean up the battlefield. We must retreat quickly."

Feng Xi estimated that the defeated soldiers of Jiang Qin's army should be returning to the camp soon. He only had so many people, and it would be bad if he was surrounded. It would be better to withdraw quickly while the other side had no time to react.

Feng Xi's isolated army also reorganized itself immediately, and disappeared into the shadows outside the fire scene in the darkness of the night, as if they had never appeared.

"Zhu Yifeng's naval camp was breached, Zhu Yifeng was beheaded, and Jiang Gongyi was also dead?"

The next morning, Han Dang was extremely surprised when he looked at the battle report in front of him.

Last night, there was a fire in the water fort, which lit up half the sky. Although I am old, I am not blind, so I can see it clearly. But after sending people to rescue, I learned that the admiral Zhu Ran was killed and the water army camp was almost burned to the ground.

These are nothing. After all, the navy here is just a detachment of the Jiangdong navy. It will not cause any serious damage to Jiangdong, and Zhu Ran is not a trusted general.

But Jiang Qin's death made Han Dang feel a little uncomfortable. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were both famous naval generals in Jiangdong, experienced and powerful, but now they died in a night battle for no apparent reason, which made Han Dang very sad.

Jiang Qin's good brother Zhou Tai swore in the camp that he would never reconcile with the Han army and would cut the murderer of Jiang Qin into pieces after hearing the news.

"How could the Shu army be so bold? They first killed Jiang Gongyi's reinforcements, and then took advantage of the chaos caused by the fire and the soldiers' lack of attention to attack and kill Zhu Yifeng under the banner of Jiang Gongyi... How did they do it?"

On the one hand, Han Dang was surprised at the enemy's risky tactics. They dared to intercept and kill the Wu army's reinforcements by marching alone deep into the Wu army's camp. Not only did they not stop there, they also attacked the naval camp that had been attacked by fire.

On the other hand, how did this isolated army of the other side appear there? This was also something Han Dang couldn't figure out. His side's surveillance of the Han army camp was still very strict. It was impossible for a thousand-man army to appear silently around.

"Unless... they took a boat."

Han Dang figured it out after a little thought.

As long as the Han army boarded the boats at the Han army water fort, and disembarked around them after going down the river, they would arrive around them without anyone noticing. The Han army's navy only unloaded a thousand people, which would not take too much time, and the remaining ships would continue to attack the Wu army water fort.

Han Dang's speculation was correct. Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Nan told Feng Xi about the idea of ​​attacking Wu Jun's water fort at night. Feng Xi had previously provided him with a Molotov cocktail, a powerful weapon for water battles. Zhang Nan did not use it in the daytime water battle because he wanted to keep it as a trump card, so he planned to save it for the night to give the other side a surprise.

As expected, when visibility is poor at night, the effect of the Molotov cocktail far exceeds Zhang Nan's imagination. After all, the Molotov cocktail is filled with alcohol, tung oil and even petroleum that has been specially purified by Feng Xi.

Feng Xi had been thinking about this day. Molotov cocktails, as the most rudimentary anti-vehicle weapon, were very easy to make. Just any bottle filled with flammable liquid and a fuse to help with combustion, lit it and thrown out.

Feng Xi asked the military craftsmen to use a large pot and clay to make a purification distiller. After temporarily purifying a few large pots of liquid, it was enough for Zhang Nan to play with Molotov cocktails for a whole night.

Just as Han Dang had expected, Feng Xi asked Zhang Nan to free up space for a thousand men on the warship in the rear, and he led his own elite thousand men from the Shenwu Camp and the Shenji Camp to attack the side of the Wu army.

If the Wu army came with more reinforcements, he would only be responsible for covering Zhang Nan's retreat and ensuring that everything was safe; if the Wu army came with fewer reinforcements, he would intercept and kill them for a while to expand the results of the battle.

It now seems that the results of last night's battle were unexpectedly good. After confirmation, the Wu general that he killed last night was the brave general Jiang Qin from Jiangdong; and the Wu general that he killed in the Wu army's water stronghold last night was the naval commander of the Wu army, Zhu Ran.
