The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

In his mind, Jin Long's familiar face could not help appearing, and when he heard the bad news of Jin Long's death that day, the unforgettable pain could not help reappearing in his heart.

Seeing that the enemy camp was getting closer, the corner of Jin Hu's mouth twitched coldly, and he murmured: "Brother, you are watching from the spirit of the sky, I, Jin Hu, will avenge you today!"

The big flag behind him was fluttering in the wind of the river, and a corner of the flag dangled in front of Gao Shun's eyes.

Looking from a distance, the human fleet in the center of the river still hasn't retreated, and the large and small warships are advancing and retreating, as if they are reorganizing something.

Although the distance was too far, Gao Shun couldn't see the overall movement of the enemy ship clearly, but the war instinct possessed by an excellent commander made him vaguely have a bad premonition in his heart.

While speculating, the Korean fleet finally moved again.

The reorganized hundreds of warships once again set sail and paddled towards the camp on the north bank.

"Could it be that the North Koreans haven't eaten enough of our white spoon arrows, and still want to attack hard?" the deputy general questioned.

While speaking, the North Korean army was approaching again. Gao Shun raised his eyes and looked far away, but found that the formation of the North Korean fleet this time was different from the attack just now.

Originally lined up in the front, large warships such as building ships and fighting ships, which acted as moving iron walls, retreated to the rear, but dozens of walking boats sailed in front.

Such a change of the Koreans is quite strange.

The lieutenant general sneered and said, "Did the North Koreans get knocked out by the shot? With the walking gun as the forerunner, we can kill all the North Korean soldiers above with just one round of shooting."

The lieutenant was born in Jizhou, but he is not proficient in water warfare, that's why he said such contemptuous words.

However, Gao Shun knew that Jin Hu was a veteran general who was proficient in water warfare, and he would definitely not be the kind of person who made such stupid moves in the field of water warfare that he was good at.

Jin Hu must have other intentions for such a special formation.

Gao Shun's brows were darkened, his thoughts were spinning, and he quickly thought about the enemy's intentions.

At this moment, Zhang Bao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly came to his senses, and said anxiously: "Look, general, now that the south wind is blowing up, it is an excellent time to set fire with the wind. The ship, no doubt."

Waking up with a word, Gao Shun's mind suddenly realized.

No wonder when the battle flag was waving in front of his eyes just now, he felt a little worried. Now that Zhang Bao reminded him, he realized that at that time, he was already worried that the North Korean army would take advantage of the wind to set fire.

"This golden tiger really likes to play with fire..." Gao Shun sneered.

Seeing that Gao Shun was not in a hurry, Zhang Bao quickly reminded: "General, if the Koreans really want to set fire, we may be hard to stop with the bows and crossbows on the shore. It's time to send warships."

Gao Shun nodded, and immediately shouted: "Where is Gan Xingba?"

"The last general is here!" Gan Ning was already gearing up.

Gao Shun waved his whip and said sharply: "I ordered you to lead [-] infantry and navy troops in the trapped camp to attack when the opportunity arises. We must stop the Korean fireboat."

Gan Ning said with emotion: "General, don't worry, if you let a fire boat come over, the general will punish the last general."

After saying that, Gan Ning rode his horse and went straight to the trestle bridge.

The sound of orders rang out, and more than 3000 infantrymen and navy soldiers who were trapped in the camp quickly boarded the battleships, and dozens of mussels rushed to their positions. As long as Gan Ning gave an order, they could rush out of the water village.

On the surface of the river, the North Korean fleet had once again approached the range of the arrow attack. Gao Shun immediately ordered thousands of crossbowmen to attack the approaching enemy ships again with overwhelming arrows.

Against the rain of arrows, the North Korean army desperately approached Beicangying.

Jin Hu stood in front of the battleship, and a group of relatives held four or five large shields in front of them, barely blocking the incoming ballista iron arrows.

Seeing that the fleet was approaching Chu Ying, Jin Hu fixed his eyes and shouted: "The fire ship—"

The order was issued, and the soldiers walking on the boat ahead quickly lit the torches, and ignited the firewood and kerosene hidden in the hull.

The blazing fire grew rapidly, and in just a moment, more than [-] boats were turned into wildly burning fireboats.

The soldiers on the ship hurriedly changed to the mother ship behind them, all the ropes involved were cut off, and more than thirty fire boats, like monsters spitting out flames, took advantage of the south wind and rushed towards Chu Ying.

On the shore, Gao Shun's sword eyebrows were also condensed into a line, his eyes were stern, and the raging flames flickered in his eyes.

Sure enough, as Zhang Bao guessed, Jin Hu really used fire attack.

The soldiers on the left and right saw the fire boat rushing towards the water camp, and everyone's heart tightened.

These fearless fighters, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will not have the slightest fear, but as flesh and blood, facing the raging power of nature, it is difficult for them to maintain peace in their hearts.

A tense atmosphere suddenly spread over the camp.

Gao Shun cast his eyes on the trestle bridge in the distance, and thought to himself: "Xingba o Axingba, the next step is up to you, don't let me down."

The fire boat was rushing with the wind, and it was approaching in a blink of an eye.

Gan Ning rushed up, judged the timing was right, pointed the iron halberd in his hand forward, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking, let Lao Tzu block the fire boats, not a single one will be missed."

Amidst the roar, the flag was shaken, and the war drums roared.

Dozens of boats rushed out, and the sailors rowed their oars like thunder. The long and narrow boats, carrying more than 3000 fearless warriors, went up against the blazing fireboat.

After the fire boat was released, Jin Hu ordered the fleet to slow down. As an experienced general in water warfare, Jin Hu knew every step of attacking with fire.

He had to wait until the fireboat rammed into the enemy's stronghold and set fire to the enemy's camp along the coast before he could lead the whole army to attack the shore.

Otherwise, if he attacks too fast, his own fleet is likely to be hit by the fire.

Just when Jin Hu tensed his nerves and planned to watch a grand fireworks show, he suddenly found that a large number of enemy ships rushed out of the water fortress and bravely rushed towards his fast-moving fireboat.

Jin Hu knew that this was Gao Shun's countermeasure, and the opponent wanted to use a small shovel to rush the ship and forcibly intercept the fire ship he had cast.

Of course Jin Hu didn't allow Gao Shun to do this, he immediately shouted: "The whole army shoots arrows, aim at the enemy ship that rushes out, and shoot hard."

The order was passed, and the crossbowmen on more than a hundred North Korean ships quickly mobilized their shooting targets, and shifted their shooting targets from the enemy camp to the rushing Chu army.

Thousands of sharp arrows, with the force of the wind and the momentum of breaking the wind, roared like raindrops towards Gan Ning's team.

With such a dense rain of arrows, if it were an ordinary warship, it would have been shot into a hornet's nest long ago, but it is a pity that the ten warships that Jin Hu faced were not ordinary ships. .

In fact, Gao Shun had already thoroughly studied the tactics of the Koreans long before sending troops. When he was preparing to fight a defensive counterattack, he estimated in advance that the Koreans could use fire tactics.

Therefore, under Zhang Bao's suggestion, Gao Shun ordered dozens of rebels in the army to be modified to strengthen their defenses.

For the dozens of boats led by Gan Ning, two layers of cowhide were added to the outer hull of the hull, and the whole three layers of cowhide defense were enough to block the sharpest arrows in the sky. attack.

Faced with such a strong protective force, although the Korean arrows rained fiercely, the dripping arrows nailed the outer wall of the enemy ship, making the whole ship look as scary as being shot into a hedgehog, but in fact, the ship The soldiers of the Chu army in the body were not injured by the arrow.

Under the protection of the ships, Gan Ning and his soldiers went up against the rain of arrows, and in a short while approached the oncoming fireboat.

"Stretch out the pole and stop the fire boat!"

Gan Ning brandished his iron halberd, roaring like a roar.

The dozens of boats immediately slowed down, and the soldiers at the rear got out of the cabin, stretched out bamboo poles several feet long, and strenuously supported the oncoming fire boat.

This kind of special pole will have an iron tip on the top, which can easily stick to the fire boat, but there is no need to worry about being burned by the fire and the bamboo pole.

The sailors skillfully controlled the rushing, and the pole-hands worked together to reverse the course of the fire boat, and finally let go of the poles, allowing the fire boat to follow the trend of the river and relax towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

After about a quarter of an hour of hard work, all the thirty fire boats were diverted by Gan Ning and his soldiers and went downstream.

The tense nerves of the soldiers of the Chu army watching the battle on the shore were finally relieved.

Gao Shun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, patted his thigh excitedly and praised: "Gan Xingba, you're doing really well!"

Gao Shun was excited, but on the river, Jin Hu and his North Korean soldiers were dumbfounded.

Jin Hu never expected that the Chu army was so fully prepared, and the dozens of warships charged against the enemy had such strong defenses that they would be unharmed by such dense arrows as his own.

And the more than [-] fire boats diverted their course and flew downstream, which changed Jin Hu's expression even more.

The [-] vanguard fleet led by Jin Hu adjusted its course to attack the Chu enemy camp from south to north, so the fire boat that turned around could not hurt him at all.

However, the follow-up army under the command of Jin Tian in the downstream is still in the direction of upstream from east to west. If the fire boat goes like this, it just hits Jin Tian's main fleet.

Jin Hu felt bad in his heart, and shouted anxiously: "Quickly, quickly dispatch the fast ship, we must stop the fire boat—"

Dang Jinhu's fast ship followed the fire boat and chased it out.

A few miles downstream, Jin Tian was still standing on the huge flagship with his head held high, watching the direction of Shangbeicang from a distance with an expression of victory.

When he saw the shadow of the fire boat appearing close to the front line of the enemy camp, he couldn't help but sneered smugly.

"The golden tiger is the golden tiger. Now that the south wind is blowing, it is a good opportunity to attack with fire. It seems that today's battle will end soon."

Jin Tian's expression became more and more confident. In his mind, he had already begun to draw the "magnificent" scene of Gao Shun's camp being burned into a sea of ​​flames by a fire boat.

However, as time passed by, the enemy camp in the distance never showed the picture he imagined.

Just when Jin Tian was feeling suspicious, suddenly, the sentinel at the top exclaimed: "It's not good, the fire boat is rushing towards us—"

Jin Tian's originally confident expression suddenly changed color.Wasn't Jin Hu attacking Gao Shun with fire, so why did the fire boat charge towards his own fleet?

Jin Tian was dumbfounded immediately, the generals of all armies were dumbfounded, and the more than 3 North Korean troops were also dumbfounded.

The entire North Korean army up and down, and there was a commotion for a while.
