Chapter 652
The starry rockets reflected the night sky brightly, the night was dimmed, and the sound of "duk duk" was endless, many of those rockets shot directly at the warships, which made Xiao Jing's side Everyone saw the situation on those warships clearly.

Looking at it this way, several thousand households all changed their expressions, "My lord?"

Where is that warship?Even if it is, it is dilapidated, covered with some tattered grass and cloth, using the night to hide people's eyes and ears.Even the "soldiers" standing on the boat are fake, they are all scarecrows.

Could it be that the straw boat borrowed arrows?

But what they fired were rockets, and in a blink of an eye, all the straw-covered boats were set on fire, and they could be burned clean in an instant.

Xiao Jing's face was also very ugly, "Not good! Come back to defense!" He ordered.

The sound of Mingjin sounded, and the several warships they came out together began to turn around, preparing to return to defense.

However, the hull is huge, even if it is more dexterous than ordinary cargo ships, it cannot be turned around in a short while.As soon as the ship's hull turned sideways, there was a sound of piercing through the sky, coming from the river not far away, it was also like stars, the sparks were falling rapidly, but they came towards them one after another.

Most of those arrows shot directly at the water around them, but when they hit the water, they burst into flames.

With the light of the fire, the people on Xiao Jing's side realized that the water around them was filled with kerosene.And those arrows came from the boat that appeared above the water at some unknown time.

They actually gave up their huge warships and went to battle with small boats.The reason why they didn't notice the small boats just now was because they covered them with black tarpaulins, and under the cover of the night and the big warships, they didn't notice it.

Flames shot up to the sky on the river, and the fire was fierce with the kerosene, but in an instant, it had burned on the hull of the ship.

When the flames were extinguished, Xiao Jing's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Turn the muzzle and fight!"

At the moment, the only thing left is to fight.

Although the warships on the river are not as well-equipped as those on the sea, they also have several muzzles equipped with guns.Hearing Xiao Jing's order, the helmsman started to turn the ship again, aiming the muzzle on one side in the direction of the boat, and there was a loud "bang", and a jet of water burst into the sky with fire on the surface of the water.

The surface of the river fluctuated violently, and several small boats nearby were overturned. On the surface of the water illuminated by the fire, there was a series of "plop" sounds, and the soldiers on those small boats were either stunned and fell into the water. , or escape by diving into the water by himself, which is very embarrassing.

Seeing this, Xiao Jing and the soldiers under his command all looked better, "Let it go again!" Even if they let it go, the cost is expensive, they can't fire a few shots, but they can't resist the power of this thing, and they can't. It doesn't take a few shots, and there are not many of these ships and these people left.

When the heartstrings were relaxing, they heard the sound of a few swords colliding behind them, followed by wailing.

Xiao Jing and the others were startled, turned their heads suddenly, but heard that the voice came from the stern of the boat, there must be something wrong.Xiao Jing's heart tightened, he turned his head and told the person next to him, "Go and see what's going on!"

"Yes!" The man replied, "Come with me!" He brought a few people to the stern of the boat, but saw that someone had already killed him.

Those people were all dressed in black clothes, and some of them were covered with water vapor, but they raised their knives and dropped them, gods blocking and killing gods, Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas, and they were about to kill them in a blink of an eye.

"My lord?" Those nearby soldiers changed their colors one after another, drew out their weapons, and surrounded Xiao Jing in groups.

Unexpectedly, those people are all masters, and they played desperately, approaching step by step with blood dripping.

Xiao Jing also drew out the weapon in his hand, shouted "Kill", and rushed out together with the surrounding soldiers, entangled with those people, and the deck immediately became a Shura field.

However, although Xiao Jing is brave, most of the soldiers under his command are also brave, and the number of them is even more than that of the opponent.

But those people are all masters, especially one of them has a slender figure, looks like a woman, and is even more skilled. Being guarded by those people, he came all the way here.

Xiao Jing had already guessed the opponent's plan, those soldiers desperately used their bodies as shields to block in front of Xiao Jing, but under the light sword as thin as a cicada's wing in the woman's hand, they were like a mantis holding a chariot.

The woman stepped lightly on their sabers with her toes, passed through their saber array as lightly as a swallow, and reached the center of their guards in a blink of an eye. She stabbed sharply with the long sword in her hand, but missed the vital point, and just cut down the two guards nearby. , the long sword pointed directly at Xiao Jing's throat.

The knife in Xiao Jing's hand was still tightly held, his blood-stained face was full of complexities.

The woman's eyes, which were exposed outside the black scarf, were clear and sparkling, and her gaze fell quietly on his face, "Master Xiao! I think you don't want more casualties, so let them stop for now! Like this!" It took a lot of trouble, we just wanted to ask Mr. Xiao to talk together!"

There was a smile in the soft tone of voice, but those words did not make people feel relaxed at all.

Xiao Jing looked around for a while, and saw that although these men in black clothes were all good fighters with one against ten, and their strikes were clean, but the soldiers who were cut down by them didn't hurt their vitals, they were just injured, for the time being No power to fight back.

But there are many soldiers around him who are eager to rescue him, and behind him, there are soldiers from the entire Nanjing Guard. It never occurred to him that the opponent's plan was just to catch him.

What is he really?

All of a sudden, Xiao Jing had mixed feelings in his heart, and while his mind was overturned, he raised his hand and shouted, "Stop!" His voice was loud, but there was a trace of weakness in his tone.

The black-clothed woman in front of her simply withdrew the long sword stuck in his throat, cupped her fists instead, bowed to him, and said, "Lord Xiao regards the soldiers under his command as siblings, that's true."

The sky gradually brightened, and there was fog on the river again.

The traces left by the great battle just now still remain on the surface of the river, but the warships of both sides have retreated to both sides, leaving only one of them.

Xiao Jing sat cross-legged at the small table on the deck, looking up at the small boat slowly approaching in the morning mist.

There was a man standing on the boat, dressed in armor, looking very heroic.When the small boat approached, the person on the big boat threw down the rope ladder, and the person climbed the rope ladder, and boarded the deck in two or three strokes.

As he got closer, without the cover of Jiang Wu, the man's eyebrows and eyes could be clearly distinguished.With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he is a young general who does not seem to be in his thirties.

Thinking about the battle just now, Xiao Jing couldn't help sighing in his heart, the younger generation is formidable.

The man approached him, cupped his fists and bowed to him, and said in a very respectful tone, "Xia Yanfeng, the third son of the Xia family, has met Lord Xiao. I have heard of Lord Xiao's reputation for being brave and good at fighting for a long time, and seeing him today is indeed a well-deserved reputation. Please come, it is really impolite, but it is a last resort, please forgive me, Mr. Xiao."
