Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne
Chapter 1344: Fierce Battle, Plan Failed
When thirty lines of fire pierced the river fog, Yan Feng bit the wax ball hidden in his back teeth.
The bitter and fishy wake-up pill rolled into his throat, and he turned around and inserted the long knife into the crack of the steering wheel. The blade flashed with a cold light, reflecting the flames in the sky.
"Cut the sail!"
Amid roars, the Jin army's soldiers swung their axes to cut all the cables.
The fire dragon boat soaked in fish oil was hit by the southeast wind. The bronze water bell at the stern suddenly exploded, and the three hundred kilograms of gunpowder hidden in the mezzanine burst into flames.
The entire river seemed to be thrown into a furnace by the gods. Thirty fire ships turned into golden crows with spread wings, dragging ten-foot-long tails of fire towards the west bank.
Zhou Tai, who was on the huge Fu ship at the front line, was the first to notice something was wrong.
His eyes widened, and the compass in his hand cracked with a crack: "This Yue Yongkang is really cruel and ruthless. He actually sent so many fire dragon boats to attack our military dock."
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and flashed a sneer: "As expected of the Jin navy, he has the courage to fight to the death. But unfortunately, his plan is doomed to fail."
"The general will be in charge of the dock, so everything will be safe. General Zhou, just lead the troops to attack!"
"I understand!" Zhou Tai shouted, "Kill all the Jin troops!"
At the command, the front line entered into slaughter mode.
The Jin army who fell into the water were killed and screamed in agony.
At this time, at the Chu army dock.
The group of fire dragon boats drew strange arcs on the river surface, and with the help of the waves caused by the southeast wind, they were three points faster than with a tailwind.
But at this time, Yan Feng stood on the leading fireship, looking at the outline of the dock which was rapidly enlarging in his pupils.
Fifty new ships of the Chu army that had not yet been launched were anchored there, and the smell of tung oil could be smelled half a mile away.
"Erect shield!"
A sharp whistle sounded from the Chu army's arrow tower, and twenty crossbows were tightened at the same time.
As the poisoned iron arrows tore through the air, the Jin army's death squad suddenly lifted up the planks of the ship - three hundred rattan shields decorated with bronze mirrors formed a wall of light, and the scorching sun was refracted through the mirrors into dazzling golden needles, which actually temporarily blinded the Chu army archers on the west bank.
The iron spikes on the soles of Yan Feng's boots pierced into the deck, and he let the burning canvas brush across his back.
He clearly saw the Chu army on the other side moving the flaming oil tanks, and those damn catapults were adjusting their shooting angles.
"Change to lighter clothes!"
When the first stone bullet whistled and smashed the fire ship on the right, the three hundred Jin army soldiers took off their heavy armor.
Their naked backs were covered with fire-avoiding talismans painted with cinnabar.
"Grand Commander, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Yan Feng took one last look at the sea of fire on the east coast, then suddenly swung his sword to cut the rope around his waist.
The freed Fire Dragon Boat accelerated again. The bronze water spikes hidden in the bottom of the boat split the waves and dragged out thirty boiling bubble belts at the stern.
The bell in the dock watchtower finally rang.
At this time, the Chu army general Feng Anguo appeared on a ship in the dock.
This old veteran who had "disappeared" after the war broke out was now staring at the fireship rushing towards them with a sneer on his face.
"Raise the net."
He narrowed his eyes, and the green light that suddenly rose from the bottom of the river was reflected in his cloudy pupils.
When Yan Feng's blade was only three feet away from the wooden stakes of the dock, hundreds of silver chains suddenly exploded on the surface of the river.
A caltrop net soaked in tung oil rose from the water, each barb connected to a chain as thick as a baby's arm.
The Jin army's fireboats hit the iron nets one after another. The sharp caltrops tore open the belly of the ship and poured the burning saltpeter directly into the river.
"Feng Flag!" A death soldier of the Jin army screamed.
Thousands of torches suddenly lit up on the cliffs on the west bank, and the Chu army's heavy crossbowmen emerged from their camouflaged straw huts, with all their arrowheads tied with crackling rockets.
Yan Feng leaped into the air at the moment the ship capsized, and the burning remains of the rudder flew past his ear.
The youngest vanguard general of the Jin State only realized at this moment that those scouts who "escaped by luck" and those secret letters that were "accidentally intercepted" were nothing but a trap that Feng Anguo had woven for half a month.
"Kill it!"
Yan Feng, who fell into the river, jumped out of the water by stepping on the corpses of his comrades. At the moment when the harpoon pierced into the wooden wall of the dock, half of the 300 members of the death squad climbed up the iron net.
They walked through the fire net with short blades in their mouths, and their charred flesh stuck to the iron chains and made a sizzling sound.
Feng Anguo spat out the chewed tobacco and said, "Open the gate."
A loud sound like a dragon's roar came from deep in the dock.
Three bronze gates that were more than three feet thick collapsed with a loud bang, and what leaked out from the gaps between the gates was not river water, but black and thick flaming oil.
Yan Feng's harpoon was only three inches away from hitting the gate mechanism when a wave of fire suddenly exploded behind him and engulfed him.
"Chu Barbarian!"
The final roar mixed with waves of fire that soared into the sky, and Yan Feng slashed out the most brilliant sword light in his life in the sea of fire.
Before the half of the Chu flag cut off by the blade could fall to the ground, the wreckage of thirty fire dragon boats had exploded into red lotuses under his feet.
Feng Anguo shook off the sparks on his battle robe, leaned forward to take a closer look at the battle situation of the Jin army, and a sneer appeared on his face.
The river wind blew the smoke across the old general's graying temples. He looked at the fading flames of war on the east bank, turned around and instructed his deputy general:
"Clean up the battlefield immediately, and then follow me to the main battlefield to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in destroying the Jin navy!
At the order, the Chu army in the dock began to get busy, collecting the iron chains in the river and removing the Jin army's ships from there.
This is their dock, so naturally they do not allow any shipwrecks to occur here, so as not to affect their ships.
Just as everyone was cleaning up the battlefield, a rocket took off!
On the front battlefield, Chu Ning stood in silver armor, looking at the Jin navy that had been defeated, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
These newly built ships are enough to make up for the new navy's lack of experience in naval warfare.
Even though the Jin navy was invincible in the world, it was still unable to escape the crushing of ships under the dimensionality reduction attack.
Under the influence of absolute external force, even the Jin navy could not resist.
At this moment, half of the 50,000 Jin navy had been defeated and fell into the river.
If they fell into the river, they would either be crushed by the ships or shot to death by the swords.
Although the remaining half of the Jin navy was still resisting, it was just a fight of trapped beasts.
"Your Highness, a signal arrow has been fired from the dock!" Zhao Yu, who had been staring behind, suddenly spoke.
Chu Ning turned around and saw a rocket in the air.
"It seems that General Feng has dealt with the Fire Dragon Boat of Jin State."
Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Since this is the case, our army has nothing to worry about. Pass the order down and the whole army will attack!"
The sound of war drums rang out, and the warships on the water rushed madly towards the remaining ships of the Jin State.
At the same time, Feng Anguo also led the navy in the dock to rush out.
On the vast river surface, there was a huge dark area. The sea of fire and blood mixed together formed a purgatory on earth.
The Jin navy was unable to hold out without the command of its main general and without any sign of fire at the Chu navy's shipyard.
What followed was a one-sided massacre by the Chu army.
Relying on the strength of their ships, they could just rush forward and smash the Jin ships into pieces.
The disparity was so great that the Jin army had no fighting spirit at all. By nightfall, many Jin soldiers began to surrender.
As night falls, if they still cannot reach the shore, only death will await them.
Therefore, the remaining Jin navy surrendered one after another.
