"Big brother, isn't it, let's go over and take a look?" Wang San said.

Hua An nodded and said, "Okay, let's go over and see for ourselves." Saying that, he and Wang San walked in the direction of the ferry.

On the south bank of the Wujiang ferry, Wang Biantou, who was ordered to reinforce, arrived at the Wujiang ferry with a battalion of sailors under his command on more than 50 warships.

When Wang Biantou boarded the ferry, Hua An and Wang San were already standing there waiting for him.

"Flathead, it's really you." As soon as Wang San saw the flat head, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Flat head, I haven't seen you for eighteen years, do you still recognize my brother?" Hua An asked with a smile.

Wang Biantou was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly walked to Hua'an, and said happily: "Big brother, hehe! ”

The three of them exchanged pleasantries together for a while, and then walked west along the riverside, along the way, in addition to the exchange of feelings, the three of them talked the most about the views of Zhao Jun's iron cable boat.

When Wang Biantou was ordered to reinforce, he already knew that the soldiers of the Zhao army on the other side had connected the warships with iron cables, so he was also worried along the way, and he really lacked confidence in victory.

Zhao Jun was connected to the ship with iron cables, and fire attack was naturally the best choice, but the three of them couldn't think of any safe tricks for a while on how to use fire attack.

After all, it was a northwest wind blowing at this time, and no matter how you set it on fire, it must be the Jin army's own warships that were burned in the end.

"Big brother, if our army's boat can go deep into the interior of Zhao Jun's water village and put a big fire in the center of Zhao Jun's water village, it will definitely be able to completely burn Zhao Jun's iron cable boat." Wang Biantou said with a straight face.

Wang San listened, shook his head, and said: "This is impossible, on the periphery of the Zhao army's water village, wading through the water to build an arrow tower and a thunderbolt tower as high as four or five zhang, as long as our army enters the Zhao army's water village within an arrow, it will be attacked by the Zhao army's large number of bows and crossbows and thunderbolts, and at the same time, the scattered boats in the Zhao army's camp will also come to intercept, and our army's fireships will never be mixed into the Zhao army's water village." ”

After listening to the discussion of the two, Hua An fell into deep thought, what Wang Biantou said about going deep into the interior of the Zhao Army Water Village is indeed a good building, but it is too difficult to operate, and it is too difficult to drive dozens of fireships into the Zhao Army Water Village without knowing it.

"How can we quietly transport the fireboat into the Zhao Army Water Village?" Hua An muttered to himself.

"Big brother, this is not possible at all, the soldiers of the Zhao army are not blind, even at night, the torches on the arrow tower of the Zhao army can illuminate the nearby water surface very brightly, as if it were daytime." Wang San shook his head as he spoke, in his heart, this situation could not happen at all.

Wang Biantou thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, if there is a layer of fog on the river, our army's fireships will have the opportunity to quietly penetrate into the interior of the Zhao army's water village. ”

Hua An's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Yes! This is a good idea, on a foggy day, you can't see your fingers, the soldiers on the arrow tower of the Zhao army will definitely not be able to find our army's fireboat, and our army will have a chance to attack. ”

"Big brother, the river is foggy almost every day, but the fog that you can't see is very rare, or it won't be long before Shi Hu's naval warships will go south, can our army wait until the day of the fog? Even if we wait, since we can't see the five fingers, how can our army find Zhao Jun's water village? Wang Sanyi asked two questions in a row.

When Wang Bian heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's not difficult to find the Zhao Jun Water Village, as long as our army goes to the other side once, remember the location and distance of the Zhao Army Water Village, even if I close my eyes, I can find the Zhao Army's Water Village, as for when there is fog on the river, I can't do anything." ”

"Flat head, you can really find Zhao Jun's water village with your eyes closed." Hua An hurriedly asked.

"As long as you remember the location and distance of Zhao Jun's water village, not only me, but also the soldiers of my battalion have this ability." Wang Biantou said confidently.

"Good, great! As long as your subordinates can find the location of Zhao Jun's water village in the fog where you can't see your fingers, as for the fog, my brother will make it. Huaan said excitedly.

Wang San and Wang Bian were shocked, and said in unison: "Big brother, you can make fog, it's really fake!" ”

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "When did the eldest brother deceive you, I will let you see how powerful the eldest brother is tonight." ”

"Big brother, since you can make fog, won't you borrow an east wind? It's more convenient that way. Wang Biantou hurriedly asked.

Hua An shook his head and said: "Borrowing the east wind, the eldest brother has not learned yet, and now he will only make fog, the two of you go back and prepare 30,000 torches and fifty fireboats, which will be of great use at night." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang San and Wang Biantou replied loudly.

In the evening, Hua'an Tongguò consulted with the naval generals and decided to temporarily allocate 500 ships for Hua'an to use for fogging, and the sailors on board were still the original soldiers.

Soon, Wang San and Wang Biantou came to the ferry with 30,000 torches and 50 fireboats respectively, waiting for Hua'an's order.

Hua An looked at the torches and the fireboat, nodded, and said, "Yes, yes, the quality is very good, the fireboat will stay at the ferry for the time being, and all the torches will be distributed to the soldiers." ”

The soldiers beside him immediately distributed 30,000 torches to the soldiers of each boat at the ferry, and then, Hua An, Wang San and others boarded the warship where Wang Biantou was and slowly sailed towards the north shore of the ferry.

When the ship reached the center of the river, Hua'an asked all the soldiers to light the torches, and then sailed to the other side, for Hua'an's decision, all the soldiers, including Wang San and Wang Biantou, were confused, and no one understood what Hua'an's purpose was.

When the warships were about to approach the Zhao Army's Water Village, Hua'an ordered all the warships to immediately stop their advance and parade along the Zhao Army's Water Village.

With such a large-scale operation of the Jin army's warships, and tens of thousands of torches lit, the soldiers of the Zhao army found out even if they were blind, and the situation was quickly reported to Shi Hu.

As soon as Shi Hu heard that the Jin army's warships were coming, he hurriedly took all the soldiers to the high platform to check.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army is holding torches and cruising around the perimeter of our army's camp, and the intention is unknown!" The general, who had been staying on the high platform to check the surface of the water, reported.

Shi Hu looked at the Jin army's warship and frowned, he couldn't understand what the Jin army wanted to do.

"Your Majesty, there seem to be a large number of torches on the warships of the Jin army, it is difficult to do it, they want to set fire to my camp." A ministry general reminded.

Shi Hu was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Wind direction, what is the wind direction." ”

The generals looked at the battle flags around them and said in unison: "Northwest wind, Your Majesty, it is the northwest wind blowing now." ”

Shi Hu also saw that the battle flag was fluttering in the southeast direction, and he immediately put his mind at ease, he rubbed his chin, and said to himself: "The Jin army will not come for no reason, there must be some attempt." ”

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the last general, the Jin army must have found that the warships of our army were connected word by word, and they were scared and anxious, so they deliberately ran with torches, intending to warn our army that they would attack with fire and make our army afraid, so as to take the initiative to dismantle the warships that were connected together."

"Oh, that's a possibility." Shi Hu nodded and said, "It's the northwest wind blowing now, how can the Jin army's attempt succeed, haha!" ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to send a group of chain ships to see how the Jin army can carry out fire attacks?" A ministry will build a yì road.

"Well, okay, just do it, immediately send two groups of a total of 100 warships to meet the enemy, and send another 30 small warships to escort you, go quickly." Shi Hu commanded loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The subordinates received the order.

Soon, under Shi Hu's order, one hundred and thirty warships poured out of the Zhao Army's water village, of which one hundred were in groups of fifty, connected together.

"Big brother, the Zhao Junshui Division has attacked, and there are only more than a hundred warships, which is too arrogant, and he dares to despise the five hundred warships of my Great Jin Naval Division." Wang Biantou looked a little indignant.

"Big brother, since you're here, why don't you him!" Wang San also built a fight with Zhao Junshui.

Hua An shook his head and said, "It's almost time, let the soldiers still have their torches, and the whole army will return to the camp immediately." ”

"Big brother, that's good." Wang Bian's head was suddenly confused.

"Big brother, tomorrow morning, there will be a heavy fog here?" Wang San was also a little surprised.

Hua An smiled slightly and said, "When did the eldest brother deceive you, believe the eldest brother, and the whole army will return immediately." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang Biantou took the order with great emotion.

Soon, more than 500 warships of the Great Jin Dynasty turned around at the same time and marched towards the south bank of the Wujiang River crossing, and all the torches in the hands of the soldiers were thrown into the river.

"Your Majesty, you see, as soon as our army's serial warships came out, the Jin army was frightened, and they were immediately scared away, haha!" A subordinate general said excitedly.

"That's right, Your Majesty, the torches used by the Jin army to set fire were all thrown into the river in fright." Another general said.

Seeing that the Jin army turned around and ran, Shi Hu's heart was unusually comfortable, the corner of his mouth sneered, and he said loudly: "In the eyes of this king, it won't take three days, early tomorrow morning, our army will be able to cross the river and approach the south of the Yangtze River, what do you think." ”

"Wang Shang Shengming, the last general thinks that the Jin army is no longer the opponent of our army at all, and it can fight a decisive battle with the Jin army tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, the last general is also in favor, our army will win."

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to take the lead, and he will definitely capture the Jin generals alive and dedicate them to the king."

The generals expressed their support.

"Hahaha." Shi Hu laughed happily, paused, and ordered loudly: "Listen to the generals, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will cross the river to the south, and within three months, this king will set foot in the south of the river." ”

"The last will obey." All the generals were indignantly commanded.

A fleet led by Hua'an marched at full speed to the south bank of the ferry, and the Zhao army's serial warships chasing behind saw that they could not catch up, so they took the initiative to retreat.

After returning to the ferry, Hua An and the soldiers went ashore one after another, except for Wang Biantou's 1,000 men and horses, the rest of the men and horses all returned to the camp to rest.

Hua An walked to the edge of the fifty fireships, looked at Wang San and said, "Wang San, how many war drums are there in the camp. ”

"Big brother, there are more than 100 big and small war drums in our army." Wang San immediately replied.
