As long as the fire is big enough to form a fire, it is very terrible. Wildfires can burn all the trees that are not dry. Above the big river, the river water seems to have turned into a big pot of fire oil, and the entire sky is burning, and it will burn all the momentum!

The huge flames expanded in the wind to the water surface to the west, and the original huge fleet seemed vulnerable under the fire. The ship that had not had time to run was quickly engulfed by the fire, igniting a raging fire. The air was filled with smoke and black dust was flying everywhere.

However, the sails on the giant rafts were swallowed soon after the fire started. Without the aid of the sails, the rafts drifted westward very slowly. If you don't look closely, they seem to have stagnated on the river. Rao was so scared that the soldiers of the Southern Tang Army were too scared.

"Ah, ah..." Chen Qiao was yelling and panicked himself.

Although the fire has not spread to this ship yet, the flames from the wind direction are raging here, so close, the temperature above the ship is very high, and the air is simply hot! The flags above were all lit by flames, burning the flagpoles bare.

In addition to the overwhelming fire, the ship was in chaos. The people panicked and screamed and ran downstairs with their heads covered.

Men are not fish. There are only boats on the water. Many people wear armor and dare not jump into the river in a hurry; but when people encounter danger, their reaction is to run away. The soldiers rushed around and they had to leave the boat. The floor and the deck, instinctively hiding in the cabin, separated by wooden boards, can at least temporarily escape the hot heat. The heat wave of the air attacking people is like roasting people alive!

The most reliable way to escape is to drive the warship away from here. The giant raft moves slowly and the warship travels faster. But one by one, just running around.

"Master, go this way!" The soldier yelled, grabbing Zhu Lingyun's arm.

Chen Qiao also hurriedly followed everyone, leaving the unobstructed roof first. The panicked soldiers behind pushed and ran around, crowding everyone to the top of the stairs. Chen Qiao almost didn't get pushed off the boat, so he shouted: "Be calm, don't squeeze..."

A soldier of Zhu Lingyun in front drew out a knife. Amidst the chaotic army, the bright knife was in front of Chen Qiao, and his face changed suddenly. The soldier with the weapon shouted: "Don't _ he_ mother squeeze..."

The voice hasn't faded yet, and suddenly I heard a loud "pop" and then a loud cry. Chen Qiao hurriedly turned his head and saw that the guardrail on the stairs was broken, and a figure jumped off the boat. After a while, he fell into the tumbling river with a "plop".

Someone hissed and shouted: "General Zhu has fallen into the water!"

Chen Qiao made a "thump" in his heart, ignoring the soreness of his grilled face, and looking down hurriedly, there was nothing but river water. That Zhu Lingyun seemed to be wearing two layers of heavy armor, with dozens of kilograms of iron burden on him, so falling into the water is not much different from tying a big rock and throwing it into the river!

"Quick! Throw the rope down!" Chen Qiao shouted.

But at the moment the army is crowded and chaotic. Where can I find the rope? Someone screamed frantically: "Didn't you help the lord? How to help! Jump down and save people!"

"Squeeze you _ mother_!" A soldier took a sword and slashed at a soldier behind with a vicious scream, and blood splashed in the crowd. But the murder did not stop the chaos. Under the fire and panic, it seemed that there was going to explode here. Some people were squeezed out of the boat, and others climbed up from the railing, screaming, jumped onto the plate armor below and fell half dead.

Someone yelled: "The coach fell into the river and drowned!"

The warship has been sailing westward, and after a while, the position of the broken railing is no longer where Zhu Lingyun fell into the water; looking for someone in this position will undoubtedly carve a boat and beg a sword. Chen Qiao looked back and saw no one at all. The tide was layered layer by layer... how to save people?

But the coach on the battlefield is gone, this is very serious. Chen Qiao yelled anxiously: "Order the helmsman and turn around!"

Change direction? Going into the fire... Besides, even the helmsman didn't know where he was at this time. No one listened to Chen Qiao, a civil official, and the warship was still moving westward, but Zhu Lingyun had disappeared.

Above the river, the Southern Tang Army warships fled westward one after another, and no one had a way to control hundreds of ships. Even the 6 soldiers on the river bank were in chaos. Countless people stood by the river, watching the fire on the river.

After a long time, the ship docked and Chen Qiao landed. The drowning of Zhu Lingyun has become a fact that has to be accepted...Although Chen Qiao saw Zhu Lingyun not pleasing to his eyes, he had the prestige in the Zhennan Army and the commander of the army, able to command the whole army; now he is dead. , Who will command the army? Chen Qiao didn't think that he could control this army if he was a civil official temporarily.

Moreover, the news of Zhu Lingyun spread quickly. The head coach's affairs were of concern to the entire army, and the news of the dead chief spread rapidly. People in the army were panicked, especially the navy was in a mess, and for a while, even the generals of the various divisions could not be found.

Chen Qiao called on the generals present, called other generals, and re-elected a temporary coach.

But Zhou Jun didn't give them a chance. Zhou Jun reacted quite quickly to the battle. Before noon, Chizhou mobilized troops. The cavalry took the lead, and the infantry went straight to attack the troops stranded on the road in the Southern Tang Army. The Southern Tang Army did not have time to unify the military order, and all ministries knew they were fighting. Although there were few forwards in the Zhou army, they were not besieged by the superior forces organized by the Southern Tang Army. Besides, the people in the Southern Tang Army were panicked at this time, and they were quickly defeated...

The people behind were affected, and in some places they escaped systematically. Known as the 150,000 army, it looks majestic, but it is completely fragile than Chen Qiao imagined. The army is like a big house falling apart.

On the highway to the west, there are retreating soldiers everywhere. On the surface of the river, the boats were also sloppy, retreating.

……

In the middle of the night, Guo Shao received a quick report from Luo Yanhuan in the water village by the river. He took a closer look, and his face quickly showed red light... It was late at night, and there was no other person around to celebrate with him, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in Guo Shao's heart. For the time being, he could only secretly enjoy himself. !

Luo Yanhuan described the battle in detail and said that Wankou and Chizhou were weak in strength and could not expand the results; but after the Southern Tang Army was in chaos, it was no easy task to redeploy and had achieved the goal of "delaying the enemy's reinforcements."

However, in Guo Shao's view, Luo Yanhuan has unexpectedly established a wonderful work. The Southern Tang Army suffered such a big setback. How can the morale of the army be restored without saying a word? So far, the threat of that army has been very small.

Guo Shaoxin said: At the time of the Tokyo mutiny, he felt that Luo Yanhuan was brave and strategic. From this point of view, this person has great talent. Luo Yanhuan does not have many elite soldiers, mainly a group of soldiers from all over the country, and there are few warships. Under limited conditions, he can plan a way to attack the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is very good... and when the fire is successful, After disrupting his military's mind, Luo Yanhuan boldly sent troops to attack with weak forces, and the fighters were captured very well.

"Luo Yanhuan, Luo Yanhuan..." Guo Shao said twice and walked back and forth in the cabin.

He put down the military newspaper, walked to the window again, opened a corner and looked out. The water is brightly lit, the windows are slightly opened, and the sound of the waves becomes more noisy... It turns out that there is no quietness like "the bell to the passenger ship at midnight" by the Yangtze River. It doesn't matter if there are many people but the waves are noisy enough.

The atmosphere is impetuous and noisy. But there is no danger here: Yesterday, the Han Tong navy had entered the Yangtze River. The navy was under the jurisdiction of the guard Mabusi. It was a forbidden army, with many people and ships, and elite soldiers. The troops dispatched from Tokyo were enough to put pressure on the Southern Tang Army. ; Moreover, Guo Shao has a large number of naval ships and navies, forming a front and back attack against the Southern Tang Army at Jingkou.

The enemy soldiers in Jingkou are now soft-shelled turtles in the urn. They have no way to go except to go ashore, but the boat can't get to the shore, and the reinforcements in Hukou can't come. It's only a matter of time before they are eliminated. Guo Shao is sure that he has secured the victory!

Guo Shao sat down at the table with a picture of the situation under the lamp, and there was shallow ink in the inkstone next to it. After sitting for a while, he poured a lot of the water in the iron cup into the inkstone, and dilute the ink very lightly. Then he lifted the brush, dipped it in a light ink, and painted all the areas of influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the borders of Southern Tang Dynasty on the map.

On the whole picture, the large part of the middle piece has changed color. Guo Shao stretched out his finger and stroked the large area of ​​Nantang State. Although it was just a piece of paper, he truly felt the tremendous increase in strength.

Countless wealth, countless population, vast territory...

Guo Shao suddenly felt a little bit. At the end of the year, it was very difficult for a little profit; but now, the huge benefits can't be blocked, and they come too soon.

He still feels out of control, and there seems to be a torrent of water in front of him, but fortunately, the torrent is following his direction. And he still has the method to adjust its direction. Guo Shao let out a long sigh, closing his eyes and feeling the river flowing under the boat.
