The moon hung alone in the sky, reflecting half the river and half the river green. It is really a half-river, in front of Tyuming, the Xiangjiang River is cut off by a big city, the guns and knives on the city are dazzling and the flag is displayed, there are countless people, the river water under the city gushes out of the vast soup, it seems that the city is connected to the sea eye Tianchi that never dries up. On the city wall, many birds of prey and beasts are drawn with ink pens, showing their teeth and claws in the moonlight, as if they want to choose people to eat.

Su Fei, who came out with an injury, was taken aback and said, "How can there be a city here?" Not even yesterday. Zhang Wu also said: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of building a city in one day, let alone on the river, could it be that they have ghosts and gods to help?" Chen Ying immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, there is a son of the god among them, and the god must be helping them." ”

Qiu Ming glared at Chen Ying dissatisfied, this guy is simply a pig teammate, even if he knows about Nanhua Lao Xian, he can't say it in public, isn't this a blow to morale?

Guo Jia stood up and squinted his eyes for a while before saying, "Since the river water flows from under the opposite city, it means that this is not an ordinary city, but a floating city. ”

Floating City? Qiu Ming suddenly remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xu Sheng seemed to have used such a floating city to scare off Cao Pi's hundreds of thousands of troops, and it seems that the people of Eastern Wu are very good at playing this hand. He immediately settled down: "Since it is a floating city, there will be no foundation under it, and we can rush directly to knock them away." ”

Chen Sun said: "But there are so many soldiers in the city, if we fall down with rolling wood and stones, our ship will not be able to stand it." ”

Qiuming said: "Don't be afraid, the foundation of the floating city is unstable, where can it afford such a high wall and so many people, according to me, most of this city wall is made of wood, and most of those soldiers are scarecrows." ”

No matter what Qiu Ming said, Zhang Wu and Chen Sun just didn't agree to march immediately, only saying that it was getting late, so it was better to wait until tomorrow to see what was going on before making a decision. Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's better to treat others in the way of others, don't they attack with fireships during the day?" I think we have a lot of small boats on board, so we might as well burn them with fireboats. The floating city is woody, and it can be made by fire. ”

Zhang Wudao: "You only know one but you don't know the other, at present we are in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River, if we set fire to the boat, it will only go down the river and burn ourselves, which is inappropriate, inappropriate." ”

Guo Jia smiled: "They have hipsters, don't we have them?" ”

Zhang Wu pursed his lips, and just wanted to say that the tide is only available in Wu County, where can other places produce, and suddenly remembered that the two pro-soldiers of Qiuming seem to be not bad in water, and they seem to be able to do this. Besides, you don't need to be able to jump on the water like a hipster, as long as you can row a boat and control the speed and direction of the boat, there are many such people themselves.

Su Fei also spoke: "Although it is early spring now, the northwest wind is blowing on the river, and we are in the wind. You can add a small sail to the boat, and then the boat will go with the wind, and the wind will help the fire, and the opposite side will not be able to stop it. ”

Zhang Wu was overjoyed, so he ordered the ship's craftsmen to immediately transform the fireboat, and in a short time twenty or thirty small boats had already hung sails. So Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were the vanguard, and they marched forward with a group of selected soldiers and rushed towards Fucheng. It was the first time since the womb that these two people were taken so seriously, and they were both brave and brave, and they couldn't cut down this floating city with one sword.

The people on the floating city were all shocked when they found the fireship, as if they did not expect that they would attack the city overnight, and after panicking for a while, they immediately kept dropping arrows. However, it was dark in the river, and it was impossible to see what was going on below from a bright place at the head of the city, so many feathered arrows fell in the clear, and I don't know how many big fish were killed.

Jiang Qin held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, urging the little soldier who was holding the boat to paddle quickly, and the little soldier also knew that life and death were only a millimeter at this moment, and the muscles on his arms were high and shook the oars quickly. Seeing that the floating city was approaching, Jiang Qin ordered loudly: "Light the fire and abandon the ship." So dozens of ships lit up at the same time, and they rushed towards the floating city.

The people on the floating city seemed to have been prepared, and they actually stretched out many hooks from under the city wall to catch the bow of the fireboat, and it seemed that they were going to turn the fireboat around and burn Zhang Wu's ship array down the water. Jiang Qin was furious, emerged from the water, climbed the base of the city wall several times, and slashed indiscriminately with his knife, killing all those hook scratchers.

By the light of the fire, Jiang Qin gradually saw that this was originally a pontoon bridge across the Xiangjiang River made of many boats and rafts, and then laid planks and wooden blocks on the bridge to build a floating city. Since the other party attacked with fire first, he naturally thought that Tyumen would also use a fireboat to pay tribute, so he first covered the periphery of the city wall with a layer of wet cloth, and then smeared it evenly with oil plaster, which was extremely difficult to ignite.

At this time, the sailors who jumped ship also followed, and Zhou Tai directly took out a torch from the fireboat to burn the floating city, only to hear the wet cloth being burned, but it couldn't be burned. Zhou Tai said: "Since it can't be burned, it's better to simply dismantle it", so he took the lead in cutting the ropes that bound these boats with a knife, and the floating city on the boat immediately came from the sound of breaking. The guards on the city walls saw that the situation was not good, and they all rushed down to the city as if they were mad to stop them.

Because it was a boarding battle, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai only carried short knives in their hands, and in the face of hundreds of spears and stabs, they only ended up in a hurry. Zhou Tai saw that the sailors around him were constantly being stabbed to death, and hurriedly said: "Gongyi, you go and cut the boat, and I will deal with it here." With that, he roared and threw himself into the gun array in front of him.

Jiang Qin didn't say much, he only used a steel shield to protect his whole body, and the short knife in his right hand fell like raindrops, quickly cutting the tangled ropes one by one. As the force became less and less, there was a frightened shout from the city: "The city is going to fall, the city is going to fall", and finally, a section of pontoon bridge in the middle can no longer hold its footing, and it is planted into the river with a bang, causing an uproar.

As early as when Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai abandoned the ship, Zhang Wu ordered the whole army to press, but so many ships in the ship formation started from a standstill, and they needed to do a series of actions such as unanchoring and raising sails, so they did not support so quickly. After a while, he saw the floating city falling, Zhang Wu knew that the situation had changed, and let a group of small boats go down, and finally arrived in time to save Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.

By the time Zhang Wu's big ship arrived, the defenders on the floating city had almost run away, and the rest were all captured. Jiang Qin didn't suffer any major injuries because he had a steel shield to protect himself, that is, his ankle was grazed by the tip of the gun, but Zhou Tai was shot forty-one times in his body, and his blood was heavy armor, if it wasn't for Hua Tuo's army, maybe it would be over. Qiu Ming was very anxious, went around Zhou Tai, and personally gave him decoction and soup, which moved Jiang Qin for a while.
