Chapter 252: Under the Battle

At this time, more than 30 Huzhou naval warships used sailboats and rushed forward at their maximum speed. However, these ships were only used for military purposes, while some were temporarily recycled civilian ships. The speed was different, and they were pulled into a long line. After a short while, the small boats of Zhenhaijun approached from the middle of the river, according to the usual naval tactics, they first used crossbows to shoot arrows and killed enemy soldiers exposed to the deck, and at the same time burned enemy ships with rockets.

Sail. After being prepared to sweep the enemy on the deck, it rushed over from the side and used the sharp bow to break the opponent's oars, causing the enemy ship to lose its mobility. Then it used a hook to resist and lean on the enemy ship to fight the enemy ship. However, the Huzhou navy's reaction was very strange, but it did not stop fighting back with a bow, but continued to expose the side to the enemy's army. In a short while, five or six sails fell behind caught fire, slowing down.

"Commander, the ships behind are behind, but you have to slow down and wait for them for a while, otherwise you will be surrounded by the enemy." An anxious captain shouted loudly. Although the bloody head of the deputy general was hanging on the side, although the five ships behind were transformed from civilian ships, they carried many soldiers, accounting for almost a quarter of the Huzhou Navy's strength, and they must not be left alone.

As soon as the captain finished speaking, a sudden "Peng" sound came from the navy in the town more than 20 feet away. It happened to hit the sail of the flagship. The sail immediately burned. The soldiers on the boat rushed over and wanted to lower the sails so that they would not burn in the sky, splash down, and ignite other places. But at this time, the wind was very fierce and wrapped the rope up, but it couldn't be untied for a while. The fire was about to spread.

Just when they had no choice, a man suddenly rushed to the next side of the mast. It was Zhou Anguo who held an axe and slashed the mast hard. Only then did everyone wake up as if they were dreaming and slash with swords and axes. After a while, they cut off the mast and fell into the water with the fire sail.

The flagship lost its sails and its speed suddenly slowed down. Zhou Anguo held a plan and his usual fat face was dark and blue at this time, which seemed indescribable. The generals and officials around him dared not say anything more. He only heard him say: "The orders are sent to all ships, and they are not allowed to turn back. At this time, only people can fight for themselves and seek life in death.

Hu Tai tried his best to curl his body up and hide it in the crack between the shield and the side wall of the ship. Theoretically, he could save his life as long as he was not unlucky enough to be directly hit by a stone bomb of a catapult. He closed his eyes tightly, so he felt better if he couldn't see it. Screams came from time to time in his ears, and the whistling sound of the feather arrows as they swimmered through the air. The body close to the cabin wall felt violent shock from time to time. This was the result of being hit by a stone bomb fired by an enemy catapult. At this time, all he could do was pray to heaven and ancestors. The warship was strong enough. As for the result of the brothers on the five ships behind, he could only say that he was lucky that he was not on it.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was an hour or five hours. Even if it was a day and a night, Hu Tai felt that it was possible. There was no longer a shock from being hit by a stone bomb on the boat board, and the sound of feather arrows flying in the air was much more sparse. Was it over? It was just his own illusion. Hu Tai was about to open his eyes and see what was going on. The drum sounded, and he jumped up like a conditioned reflex. The Huzhou navy had rushed into the dock. On both sides of himself, there was a pier full of grain buns. A large group of civilians were panicking.

When they passed the narrow trestle and wanted to retreat to the shore, people were constantly being squeezed into the water and making desperate calls for help. Some transport ships leaning against the trestle were anchoring and wanting to escape as soon as possible; some were impatient with the sailors, and simply jumped into the water. On the other side were a large number of transport ships waiting to get on the trestle, and behind them were the warships of Zhenhai Navy. They were originally protecting the transport ships outside, but now they were blocked by their own protected objects. The warships were trying their best to pass through the dense transport ships and wanted to get close to attack the Huzhou Navy.

"Prepare to catch the enemy." With the sharp command, the officers of the Huzhou Navy began to drive their subordinates to prepare for battle. Hu Tai ran quickly to the bottom cabin, moved out one pottery from it, and carefully placed the pottery on the stove to heat it, just like cooking. At this time, he had seen that the boat division in Huzhou had been divided into two teams, one of which was close to the pier and began to fire rockets at the same time; and the warships he was in leaned towards the enemy transport ships that had been waiting to dock. Because they were docked too close in advance, they could not disperse quickly in desperation, and the protective warships behind could not pass through their dense ranks, and were even afraid of accidental injuries and could not even cover the archery.

"Preparation!" With the command, Hu Tai carefully placed the heated clay pot on the trencher, and then placed the next clay pot on the stove. He had practiced these movements almost in his sleep, and was also subjected to a lot of whips. At this time, he watched the clay pots fly towards the enemy ships seventeen or eighteen feet away with expectations to see if they have the power as great as the legendary ones.

Most of the clay pots hit the target, and streams of black and viscous liquid flowed out. With the flying rockets, something terrible happened. The reaction of the viscous liquid was not so much a burning, but rather an explosion. Mars splashed around, igniting all the items they encountered. The people surrounded by the flames rolled on the board in vain and made waves of miserable shouts. The flames were extremely hot and immediately lit everything around them. When the sailors began to extinguish the fire with water and slap them, they found in despair that the terrible viscous liquid burned even harder after encountering the water, and the slap was ineffective for them. Moreover, an unpleasant gas would be released from the flames, which made people's eyes hurt and could not breathe. The sailors could only jump into the river in despair to escape.

Seeing that the opponent's weapons were so terrifying, the transport ships behind accelerated their paddles and sailed, threw the cargo loaded in the ship into the river, and wanted to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, but this made everything messed up. Many ships crashed together, and many ships were sunk. The actions of the escort warships on the periphery exacerbated this situation. They drove towards the Huzhou Navy and tried their best to break a way, wanting to get close to their opponents and have a battle of platoons.

Finally, the distance between the warships of the two armies was only four or five feet away. Hu Tai felt a dry mouth and swallowed again. But for some reason, there was no drop of water in his mouth. He squatted down and tried his best to hide behind the shield. He prepared the enemy to jump onto the side of his ship and knocked the enemy down the river with his shield. At this time, a sudden sound of gong came from the sound of the gong. The bow of the Huzhou Army spewed out a fire dragon, swallowing the enemy soldiers standing on the deck to fight.

Hu Tai opened his eyes wide, and the scene in front of him almost couldn't believe it. Dozens of enemy soldiers were struggling in pain in the flames. The Huzhou Navy's warship was still spraying flames, swallowing the people on the next enemy ship in the flames. The enemy ship behind began to turn around. On the ship that had no time to turn around, the soldiers were jumping into the water in despair, completely ignoring the armor on their bodies that would make them sink directly to the bottom of the river. Less than three meters away, the people on the enemy ship on the fire jumped into the river like dumplings. Hu Tai was surprised to find that even in the water, the flame was still burning, and the dying people showed an incredible expression.

"Change, turn around quickly." The naval navy in the remnant town, who was still on the periphery, dropped the transport ships and sailed to the east bank of Zhejiang. Everything just now was like a nightmare. As victory was right in front of you, suddenly the enemy warships ejected a strange fire dragon. The fire dragon swallowed everything and could continue to burn on the water, just like the karma fire in the eighteen levels of hell. Could it be that the Huzhou army is an evil ghost from hell? It can actually use such a terrible flame.

Seeing that his naval army had abandoned himself and fled, the remaining Zhenhai transport ships raised white flags and honestly drove to Huzhou Water Village as the orders of the Huzhou Navy. Hu Tai leaned against the side wall of the ship and sat on the ground like a pool of mud. After the excitement during the battle, he was already exhausted at this time. Not far away, on the Hangzhou Wharf, there was originally a place full of newly unloaded grain and military funds, and the fire was burning wildly.

There were only one of the four plank roads that stretched into the water. The three rows of wooden stakes left in the water. The wooden boards laid on them were no longer there. There were floating corpses everywhere on the water, and fired ships were floating around, like ghosts. The crew members on them were either burned to death or had already dived to escape. At this time, a loud noise suddenly came, and it turned out that an uncontrolled ship hit the plank road, and the remaining plank road was broken into two pieces and fell into the river.

"Bang!" Qian Miaomeng, who was standing at the top of Hangzhou watching the game, slamming the female wall with a palm, and a trace of sickly rosy appeared on his cheeks. Everyone familiar knew that this was his extreme anger.

"King, please calm down for the time being. Our army will be caught off guard and will be frustrated. Next time, as long as we are far apart, we will attack with a stick crossbow, it will be fine. At this time, we will send people to the dock to put out the fire and rescue the injured." The person who spoke was Luo Yin, a confidant adviser of Qian Miao. He had a wide range of knowledge and immediately saw that although the weapon of the Huzhou Navy was powerful, it could not be far away. Seeing Qian Miao's appearance, he quickly spoke to comfort him to avoid hurting his body.

Qian Miao nodded, and the generals and officials on the side quickly went to send orders. Suddenly, a strange wind blew over, folding the "Qian" flag beside him into two sections. Seeing this scene, Qian Miao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He felt dizzy, and vomited blood from his mouth and fainted.
