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

Seeing that the enemy camp was getting closer, Jin Hu's lips turned cold and cold, and he murmured: "Brother, you are watching from the spirit of heaven. I, Jin Hu, will avenge you today!" The wind started blowing, and the wind was filled with the smell of blood.

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

Looking from afar, the human fleet in the center of the river still has not 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 could not clearly see the panoramic movements of the enemy ships, but the war intuition of an excellent commander gave him a vague feeling of bad premonition.

While speculating, the Korean fleet finally moved again.

After reorganization, hundreds of warships once again set sail and paddled, heading towards the camp on the north bank in a mighty manner.

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

As he spoke, the Korean army was approaching again. Gao Shun raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to find that the formation of the Korean fleet this time was different from the previous attack.

The large warships such as building ships and fighting ships that were originally arranged in front and acted as moving iron walls retreated to the back. Instead, dozens of small boats sailed in front.

This change of Korean people is quite strange.

The lieutenant general sneered: "Are the Koreans stunned by the shots? We are taking the walking boats as the vanguard. We can kill all the Korean soldiers above with just one round of shooting."

The lieutenant general was born in Jizhou, but he was not familiar with water warfare, so he made such contemptuous remarks.

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

Jin Hu's special formation must have another purpose.

Gao Shun's brows were darkened, his thoughts were racing, and he was thinking rapidly about the enemy's intentions.

At this moment, Zhang Bao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly realized something and said anxiously: "General, look, the south wind has suddenly risen. It is the perfect time to set fire to the wind. The dozens of Korean boats must be on fire."

There is no doubt about the ship."

With a sudden awakening, Gao Shun suddenly realized something in his mind.

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

"This Golden Tiger really likes to play with fire..." A sneer appeared at the corner of Gao Shun's mouth.

Seeing that Gao Shun was not in a hurry, Zhang Bao hurriedly reminded: "General, if the Koreans really want to set fire to them, we will be unable to stop them with just the crossbows on the shore. It's time to send out warships."

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

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

Gao Shun shook his horse whip and said sternly: "I have ordered you to lead three thousand infantry and naval troops trapped in the camp. Attack when the opportunity arises. You must block the Korean fireboats."

Gan Ning said with emotion: "General, don't worry. If we let a fire ship come over, I will punish the general for his crime."

After saying this, Gan Ning rode off and headed straight for the trestle.

The orders were rang out, and more than 3,000 trapped infantrymen and navy soldiers quickly boarded the battleships, and dozens of ships rushed into position. With only Gan Ning's order, they could fight their way out of the water stronghold.

On the river surface, the North Korean fleet had once again approached the arrow attack range. Gao Shun immediately ordered thousands of crossbowmen to once again launch a fierce attack on the approaching enemy ships with arrows that covered the ground.

The Korean army braved the rain of arrows and desperately approached Beicang Camp.

Golden Tiger was stationed in front of the battleship, and a group of soldiers held up four or five large shields to block the front, which could barely block the incoming iron arrows from the ballista.

Seeing that the fleet was approaching the Chu camp, Jin Hu's eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Set the ship on fire——"

When the order was passed, the soldiers on the boat in front quickly lit torches and ignited the firewood and kerosene hidden in the hull.

The raging fire quickly grew, and in just a moment, more than thirty boats turned into burning fire ships.

The soldiers on the ship rushed to the mothership behind them, and all the ropes involved were cut. More than thirty fire ships, like monsters with tongues of fire, took advantage of the south wind and rushed toward the Chu camp.

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

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

When the soldiers on the left and right saw the fire ship rushing towards the water camp, everyone's hearts tightened.

These fearless warriors have no fear of any enemy, no matter how powerful they are. However, as flesh and blood, they find it difficult to remain calm in their hearts when faced with the blazing power of nature.

A tense atmosphere suddenly filled the air over the camp.

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

The fire ship was moving swiftly with the wind, and in a blink of an eye it was already approaching.

Gan Ning, who rushed forward, judged the right moment, pointed the iron halberd in his hand forward, and shouted: "The whole army attacks, block the fire ships for me, and don't let any of them go."

Amid the roar, the flags waved and the war drums roared.

Dozens of stern ships flew out, and the sailors' oars sounded like thunder. The long and narrow stern ships, carrying more than 3,000 fearless warriors, faced the blazing fire ship.

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

He had to wait until the fire ship crashed into the enemy's camp and burned all the enemy camps along the coast before he could lead the entire army to attack the shore.

Otherwise, if he attacks too quickly, his fleet may be affected by the fire.

Just when Jin Hu tensed up his nerves and planned to watch a grand fireworks show, he suddenly discovered that a large number of enemy ships rushed out of the water fortress and bravely pounced on his speeding fire ship.

Jin Hu knew that this was Gao Shun's counterattack, and the opponent was going to use a small stern to attack the ship and forcibly intercept the fire ship he had launched.

Of course, Jin Hu did not allow Gao Shun to do this. He immediately shouted: "The whole army fired arrows, aim at the enemy ships rushing out, and shoot hard."

After the order was passed, the crossbowmen on more than a hundred Korean ships quickly mobilized their shooting targets and turned their shooting targets from the enemy camp to the oncoming Chu army.

Thousands of sharp arrows, relying on the force of the favorable wind and the force of the breaking wind, whizzed down like raindrops towards Gan Ning's squadron.

With such a dense rain of arrows, if it had been an ordinary frigate, it would have been shot into a hornet's nest long ago. Unfortunately, the ten frigates that Jin Hu faced were not ordinary ships.

.

In fact, Gao Shun had already studied the Korean tactics in depth before sending troops. When he was preparing for a defensive counterattack, he estimated in advance that the Koreans could use fire attack tactics.

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

The dozens of ships led by Gan Ning had as many as two layers of cowhide added to the outer hull of the ship on the original basis. The three layers of cowhide defense were enough to block the sharpest arrows in Yaoxiajian.

attack.

Faced with such a strong protective power, although the Koreans attacked fiercely with arrows, and the fallen arrows were nailed all over 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 was

The Chu soldiers in his body were not injured at all by the arrows.

Under the protection of the ship, Gan Ning and his soldiers faced the rain of arrows and approached the oncoming fire ship in a moment.

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

Gan Ning waved his iron halberd and roared like a roar.

The dozens of stern ships immediately slowed down, and the soldiers at the rear emerged from the cabin, stretched out bamboo poles several feet long, and struggled to support the oncoming fire ship.

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 the bamboo pole body being burned by the fire.

The sailors skillfully controlled the stern, and the pole handlers worked together to reverse the course of the fire ship. Finally, they released the poles and allowed the fire ship to follow the flow of the river and move back down the Yangtze River.

After about a quarter of an hour of hard work, more than thirty fire ships were all changed by Gan Ning and his warriors and went downstream.

The Chu army officers and soldiers watching the battle on the shore finally relaxed their tense nerves.

Gao Shun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his thigh and praised excitedly: "Gan Xingba, you are so good!"

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

Jin Hu never expected that the Chu army was so fully prepared, and that the dozens of ships rushing towards the enemy were so protective that they could be unscathed by his dense arrows.

And the more than thirty fireships that changed their course and flew downstream made Jin Hu's expression change even more.

The 20,000-strong vanguard fleet led by Jin Hu adjusted its course and attacked the Chu enemy camp from south to north. Therefore, the fireship that turned around could not hurt him at all.

However, the follow-up army commanded by Jin Tian downstream was still swimming upstream from east to west. If the fire ship went like this, it would just hit Jin Tian's main fleet.

Jin Hu secretly felt bad and shouted anxiously: "Quick, send out the fast ship quickly, we must stop the fire ship -"

When Jin Hu's fast ship followed the fire ship, he chased it out.

Several miles downstream, Jin Tian was still standing on the huge flagship with his head held high, watching from a distance in the direction of Shangbeicang with an expression of determination to win.

When he saw the shadow of the fire ship appearing in the direction close to the enemy camp, he couldn't help but sneer with pride.

"The golden tiger is the golden tiger. The south wind is blowing now, which is a good opportunity to attack with fire. It seems that this battle will be over soon."

Jin Tian's expression became more and more confident, and in his mind, he had begun to picture the "spectacular" scene of Gao Shun's camp being burned into a sea of ​​​​fire by a fire ship.

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

Just when Jin Tian felt suspicious, suddenly, the sentry at the height exclaimed: "Oh no, the fire ship is rushing towards us——"

Jin Tian's originally confident expression suddenly changed color. Wasn't Jin Hu using fire attack on Gao Shun? Then why did this fire ship rush towards his own fleet?

Jin Tian was immediately dumbfounded, all the generals in the army were dumbfounded, and the more than 30,000 Korean troops were also dumbfounded.
