The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Before the two could react,

The warship sailing at the front of the channel was suddenly stopped in front by an iron chain as thick as an adult's arm that was pulled up from the river.

Almost instantly, dozens of iron chains rose up on the river surface at the same time, like thorns from hell, forcing the huge fleet to be stopped between the iron chains.

Even the huge warship, with the support of water and manpower, was still held down by dozens of thick iron chains.

In an instant, the powerful inertia and the continuous rear-end collision of the warships behind caused the officers and soldiers on the warships to fall to the ground and scream.

Countless officers and soldiers fell into the water, and the screams, the sounds of falling into the water, and the collision of warships resounded throughout this small area.

Shi Lei and Niu Ben on the flagship saw the warships in front of them colliding with each other. After a panic, they immediately ordered all the warships to drop anchor.

But even so, the huge three-story flagship crashed head-on into the warship in front.

The two were almost thrown off the railing due to the strong inertia.

Niu Ben covered his helmet which was about to fall off and cursed loudly at the front.

"Damn it! How the hell is that guy in front of me driving the boat?"

Shi Lei stared at the waterways on both sides with a serious expression, and said to Niu Ben seriously,

"Brother Niu, we still need to be vigilant and be careful of ambushes!"

Although Niu Ben was a bit careless, he was not a fool. Upon hearing this, he immediately gave orders to his personal guards.

"Send this order, ordering everyone to be on alert immediately and guard against sneak attacks!"

However, before his order came out,

In the waterways on both sides of the fleet several miles away, countless small boats that could only carry a dozen people suddenly rushed out.

The boat was filled with men in blue clothes, who swung cans and threw them hard at the warships in the channel.

Everything happened almost in the blink of an eye.

By the time Niu Ben gave the order, a jar was already smashed in front of them.

Shi Lei's nose twitched slightly, and he was suddenly shocked.

"No! It's kerosene!"

Niu Ben also made a prompt decision and gave the order immediately without caring about attacking Huanglong.

"All warships will become the front team and sail away from the old river mouth!"

As the command flags on the warships were waved, the huge fleet began to struggle upstream.

However, before the rearmost warship had traveled more than ten meters, dozens of chains as thick as an adult's arm were stretched out from under the surface of the river.

The iron chain, as thick as an adult's arm, could stop a fleet of warships drifting downstream with great inertia.

Rowing by hand is against the current, so there is no way to break through the river blocked by iron chains.

In just a few breaths, the warships stretching for five or six miles were blocked by the iron chains in front and behind in the narrowest waterway at the old river mouth.

Countless people in green appeared and disappeared in small boats from the reed marshes on both sides of the river.

Black cans filled with kerosene were swung around and thrown onto the warships.

Even though the Jinling guards were relatively elite compared to the local garrisons, every one of them knew what they would face next.

For a moment, there were endless screams of terror, panicked running, and desperate cries.

On the third-floor flagship, Niu Ben and Shi Lei, even though they were descendants of nobles,

But it was also the first time that he led such a large-scale army into battle.

Taking in the scenes on the warships in front and behind,

The blue-robed men kept throwing kerosene onto each warship.

The officers and soldiers on the warships who were running around in panic fell into the river or were trampled by others.

Such a tragic and shocking scene,

It had a strong impact on Niu Ben and Shi Lei's hearts.

Both of them lowered their heads in despair.

Without thinking, they knew what this fleet of 30,000 people would face next.

Sure enough, after throwing nearly half of the bamboo incense,

There was a thick layer of grease floating on the surface of the river, and the pungent smell of kerosene deeply irritated the minds of every officer and soldier.
