His eyes were like night owls in the dark, staring at the general who was giving orders on the shore. Finally, he saw the man's face in the firelight.

He suddenly burst into laughter.

After seeing the general clearly, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, and then someone burst into laughter.

Nan Yan's eyesight was not as good as them, but he squinted his eyes and looked at the most powerful part of the fire. He quickly recognized the familiar figure from the crowd. The general was only in his twenties and was handsome. Although he was wearing armor, the armor did not make him look heroic, but instead seemed a bit cumbersome.

That was obviously not a serious general.

For such people, those who are already accustomed to fighting can tell at a glance.

When she saw that person, Nan Yan's eyes flashed slightly - that was Chen Xuan!

The three children of the old uncle who was brought by the old uncle's fellow practitioner, Taoist Shouzhen, were Chen Zixiao stationed in Handongwei and Chen Yi remained as a cabinet minister. Only Chen Xuan, Zhu Feng asked him to stay in Jinling as an official. Although he was far away from the capital, Jinling was also the Kyoto in the south. He was still young and it was not convenient for him to participate in major events in the court immediately. It would be beneficial to the future when he practiced in Jinling for a few years.

This time, Jinling City was captured by Zhu Chengjin's people. After he entered the city, he killed so many officials. Nan Yan never saw Chen Xuan and thought he had been killed.

But he didn't expect that he would appear in the army in Yangzhou.

Moreover, he is a military general.

But what about Xu Shifeng?

Nan Yan thought so and subconsciously looked around. Chen Xuan was surrounded by officials and soldiers from Yangzhou Prefecture, but he never saw Xu Shifeng.

Zhu Chengjin was already laughing wildly: "Look, Xu Shifeng is not good either."

As he said that, he turned to look at Nanyan, looked up and down at her conspicuous robe, and said in a frivolous and sarcastic tone: "This robe is worn in vain."

Nanyan sneered.

He said: "I don't find it strange."

"oh?"

"I will get used to it slowly. I think you will never lose this one."

Hearing this, Zhu Chengjin's face slightly darkened, but at this time, there was a sound of killing below, and he had no time to argue with Nan Yan for too long. He immediately turned around and more ships arrived at the shallows. After the first group of water bandits jumped down, they had already rushed with the soldiers on the shore.

Although it was already late at night, no matter on the shore or on the river, there were bright lights, and the fire almost ignited the river. However, after the people on both sides fought together, they could not tell who was who. Nan Yan stood on the side of the ship, watching countless people waving the cold swords and fighting desperately. There were constant screams and screams piercing through the sky-shaking killing shouts, resounding throughout the night sky.

The darkness of the night seemed to be stained with a trace of blood.

Originally, both sides were just fighting evenly, but at this time, Zhu Chengjin gave another order: "Kill!"

Immediately, dozens of small boats sailed out from behind the big ship, and their men stood densely on each ship. Zhu Chengjin's original soldiers immediately rushed to the river beach.

This time, the number of people on both sides became very different.

The reason why Chen Xuan used the goose-shaped formation was because the troops on Yangzhou were indeed damaged a lot in the previous two battles. Although this formation could resist the attacks of the water bandits at the beginning, when another wave of attacks came, the weaknesses of subsequent shortcomings would be immediately exposed.

The purpose of the circumcision of the goose-shaped formation was not achieved at all.

At this time, even Nan Yan, who had been calm, couldn't help frowning, subconsciously reached out and grabbed the fence in front of him, and leaned forward.

What will they do?

As soon as he saw her anxious expression, a gloomy sneer appeared on Zhu Chengjin's face.

For him, whether it is victory on the battlefield or seeing others suffering and worrying expressions, it is a great joy for him.

So he shouted again: "Beat the drum, attack!"

Immediately, the drums on the two big boats on both sides were loudly sounded by heavy hammers. The drums were rumbling like muffled thunder from the sky and the earth. Even the river surface seemed to be shaken. The river water kept surging and undulating. They stood on the big boat and were also staggering. Nan Yan held the fence with both hands, and watched the people and horses clamoring to the river beach, like a heavy hammer, hitting hard on the goose-shaped formation made by Chen Xuan.

Suddenly, the formation was in chaos.

The soldiers guarding Yangzhou were immediately dispersed and were about to be defeated.

Nan Yan felt that the night had become hot because of this fight. The temperature in the wind made her stand at a crater, and the sweat on her head dripped down drop by drop.

It's not just her.

Everyone around them also felt the unusual temperature in the night wind. Although it was summer, there shouldn't be such a hot night wind on the river surface, and many people couldn't help but fan their hands on their faces.

At this moment, someone shouted at the stern of the boat: "It's not good, it's on fire!"

on fire?!

Everyone on the boat was stunned for a moment.

They were on the river, how could they catch fire? And seeing that the people on both sides of the shore were fighting together, where did the fire come from?

However, the shout was clearly at the stern of the boat, and many boatmen and sailors ran over here in exclamation, saying to Zhu Chengjin and the others: "No, it's not good!"

Zhu Chengjin frowned: "What are the ghosts shouting? What's on fire?"

A boatman panted and said, "There is a fire on the river!"

"What?"

Zhu Chengjin heard this and felt something was wrong, so he immediately took everyone to the stern again.

Nan Yan naturally followed closely, and as soon as he reached the stern of the boat, he was immediately stunned by the situation in front of him.

They had just arrived at the stern of the boat, but they could hardly see anything except some small boats following the big boat in the mist. But now, they saw a raging fire on the river surface, illuminating half of the Yangtze River in an instant.

What's going on?

How could it catch fire on the river?

Moreover, the fire was not only burning on the river surface, but also spreading towards them at a rapid speed.

Zhu Chengjin and the others were shocked.

After a closer look, it turned out to be countless small boats, with countless grasses piled on the boat. The grass seemed to have tung oil splashed on it. Someone took a torch and immediately burned, forming a fire boat.

At this moment, dozens of fire boats, carrying burning flames, rushed towards them along the river. Just as they were about to hit the boat behind, the people on the boat immediately jumped into the river, swam over desperately and then climbed onto the big ship.
