Chapter 983 Burning the Sea of ​​Fire

The back of the young blood sword beast was still gray-black, but the slender fish body was covered with extremely hard scales. The fish's mouth and the protruding sword bones were also quite sharp, which could easily pierce the leather armor and cause certain damage to the hull.

Groups of blood sword beasts fell into the lake, and suddenly they were like cats smelling fishy smell, shaking their tails and rushing out like swords. The speed was comparable to the sharp arrows of Lisheng. In a moment, the underwater beasts in the rivers and lakes suddenly dissipated. Occasionally, they passed through the burning fire boats and could vaguely see the rippling waves on the lake.

The battles in the Heyuan are the star of a seahorse cavalry. In the previous battle of Tianhekou, one person sank two Chu army warships and led the seahorse cavalry under his command to kill no less than hundreds of Chu army soldiers who jumped into the river and fell into the water. It can be said that he was a bloody man with both hands.

As a sea horse cavalry, as a sea horse cavalry, entered Taihu Lake, but they were still a little unacceptable and rarely dispatched on weekdays. Therefore, in the previous series of wars, the sea horse cavalry was the best preserved unit.

Yangzhou City was defeated one after another, with nearly 100,000 troops now reaching six or seven. Most of the remaining troops were poor. Although Heyuan was bloodthirsty in battles, he was not a well-developed and brainless person. He knew that the expeditionary army was at the last moment, and ahead were layers of obstacles set up by the enemy to block them. Only by passing through these barriers can they enter the extremely wide river and enter the sea along the river. On the wide river surface, the enemy could not stop them half a step.

The seahorse under the crotch seemed a little droopy. After leaving the seawater, the seahorse beast was a little unacceptable and could only stay in the cabin where the seawater was stored on the ship. But at this moment, it was not enough to take care of so many. The enemy actually arranged a large number of fire boats in the waters in front of the lake mouth. The burning flames illuminated the darkness around and left nothing to hide.

General Ban Zheng heard that the enemy built a large number of catapult positions on both sides of the lake mouth. Although these catapult positions fixed on land are more of a decoration for mobile sea ships, and if they are bombarded, they will definitely have the advantage.

But he understood the current situation of the fleet, because he hurriedly left the dock, and the cabin was filled with the property plundered from Yangzhou. Now, there were very few huge rocks on each ship, and they could not provide supplies, because there were enemies on the land at all times.

Puff, the seahorse beast sprayed out another water arrow and shot on the side of the grasshopper boat. A large amount of lake water continued to pour into the small bottom cabin of the grasshopper boat. With a thunderous sound, a cloud of water mist evaporated. The burning giant tree suddenly became charred, and the flame was still burning unwilling to admit defeat. However, as the ship fell, the flame was quickly swallowed up by the surrounding lake water, and there was another light on the lake surface.

The darkness continued to spread and the flames were decreasing. However, the river Baizhan floating on the lake did not notice that there was a diluted smell of blood in the cabin of the grasshopper boats that were sunk by them, and the ship that kept sinking into the lake was filled with internal organs and other things.

In the darkness, Heyuan Baizhan rushed towards the next fire place, but suddenly Heyuan Baizhan screamed in pain. The thigh under the lake seemed to be hit by a knife. Heyuan Baizhan almost thought about it and pulled out the Japanese sword from the sea horse beast and slashed it hard under the lake.

The sharp Japanese sword slashed the lake, causing countless splashes of water, and obvious resistance came from the blade. With a sound, the Japanese sword seemed to slash on a piece of iron, making a sound of metal and stone attacks, but the knife could not move forward. Heyuan Baizhan was slightly shocked, but the next moment, his face seemed to have been opened in a dyeing workshop, and it became extremely pale and ugly.

A stream of blood kept surging upwards, dyeing the sea water around Heyuan Baizhan red in a moment. Heyuan Baizhan almost wailed, and then widened his eyes, his eyes filled with redness. Obviously, he was very unwilling to be dying like this.

Under the lake, even the seahorse beast was unable to survive. It was torn clean by the sharp teeth of more than ten blood sword beasts, and even the bones were bitten to pieces. Among the Japanese, Heyuan Baizhan, which has always been known for its fierceness, could be said to have died with his eyes open, but this night, many people were destined to be like him.

The blood sword beast will become crazy when it sees blood, and its greed for food almost reaches an unparalleled level. This is instinct, evolutionary instinct. Only by constantly devouring can it evolve and grow. Those seahorse cavalry did not pay attention. Perhaps the little bloody smell on them will bring them a catastrophe.

The screams seemed particularly desolate in the dark night. The moonlight like water shone on the lake, but it was covered with bloody shimmering. The killing from the unknown made people feel terrible. However, the seahorse cavalry had no idea what was going on. When they understood, they had stepped into the gates of hell.

Screams continued, spreading far away in this quiet night. On the huge fleet hidden in the night, Shunji Inoue's face was gloomy. Everything was fine, but who would have thought that he would suffer the biggest failure in his life here.

Now, he was a little unconfident even to escape from this prosperous place known as the heart of Yangzhou. The other party had indeed known their arrival. It seemed impossible to pass through here quietly, so he could only make a forced breakthrough.

"Send all ships to prepare for battle, let's force it to come!" Shunji Inoue smashed the railing hard, and his tone seemed to have regained a little confidence.

Dozens of ordinary sea warships will be the leader of the suicide squad, and behind it is the most important force in Shunji Inoue's hands. The sea beast warships are 76. Although they only account for one-quarter of the fleet, as long as this force can rush out, no matter how big the loss is, it is not unacceptable.

In the darkness, the huge sea ships were like hideous sea beasts, breaking through the entanglement of the night and splitting the layers of water waves. This fleet that could be on the sea launched a strong attack on the narrow waterway in the dark.

Peng, a grasshopper ship was directly hit by the head-on sea warship. The powerful impact force directly caused the grasshopper ship less than three feet long to disperse. The burning fire and wood on it spread out countless Mars, as dazzling as stars in the sky.

The darkness extended forward again, but the figure of the Japanese naval ship was still observed by the sentries on the shore. Suddenly, waves of gongs sounded above the camp, and the camps that were silent in the dark suddenly ignited a bonfire, and the flames instantly illuminated the two peninsulas on both sides.

Countless bonfires are comparable to the stars in the sky. The dense fire light spread from the shore of the lake and into the hills deep inland. There are almost countless bonfires, and it is impossible to tell how much power there are. However, only the countless burials almost illuminate the sky. The soldiers on the Japanese naval ship who saw this scene were traumatized again.

It was like a daytime camp, and the sound of oh hey, the giant catapult cart was a powerful weapon for siege, which could throw tons of huge rocks, and even seven or eight people would not feel crowded. However, at this moment, the giant catapult carts were not loaded with large stones that could be moved with small towers, but earthen pots.

These earthen clay pots are very crisp, and a slightly more violent bumpy vibration will cause them to break. These clay pots are naturally filled with a large amount of tincture oil. In a large bucket spoon, at least thirty clay pots can be placed in this thirty kilograms per can, and they are neatly placed, like a honeycomb.

"Let it go!" With a command, the giant catapult cart made a heavy whistling sound first, and the huge swing arm was raised high, and when it reached the highest point, the pottery pot on it suddenly flew out like a scattered flower in the sky.

Such projections are not messy. These giant catapults have long measured the coverage and are projected out from many camps at the same time. In each camp, there are only two or three catapults doing this.

Although only one-tenth of the catapult cart was used, the thrown clay pots were widely scattered. These clay pots were not all thrown towards the Japanese warships flashing out of the darkness, almost covering the large area in front of the Hukou Waterway.

Peng, a clay pot fell down in advance, and smashed the lake with a strong drop force. Although it was water, the impact at a certain speed and high speed was not weak at all. The already brittle clay pot suddenly broke and exploded, and the black turmeric oil inside scattered around.

In this tincture oil tank, there is not only tincture oil, but also combustible phosphorus powder. When the pottery jar is broken and the phosphorus powder is exposed to the air, some sparks are suddenly ignited, and these sparks immediately ignited the flammable tincture oil. Within a bang, all within ten meters of the surrounding area were ignited.

One after another, the tincture oil tanks shattered, and the tincture oil floating on the lake quickly condensed into pieces, and a sea of ​​fire suddenly formed. The lake surface that was originally trapped in the dark became bright again, and the huge sea ships hidden in the dark revealed their true colors one by one.

Peng, a sea boat rushing forward was unfortunately hit by a pot of crock pot. The tincture oil shattered on the deck immediately ignited more than a dozen people on the deck. The fire of the tincture oil cannot be extinguished, but it is getting bigger and bigger. The tincture oil is not produced on the Japanese island, so many Japanese soldiers do not understand this kind of thing at all. While rolling and running, they pass the fire to more people.

Puch, a bucket of water was poured over, but the water did not extinguish the fire. Instead, the turbid oil on the deck flowed around with the water. Not long after, the front deck was covered by a blazing flames, and the ignited Japanese soldiers screamed in tears, which made people scream.

The ships still rushed forward according to inertia and advanced in the sea of ​​fire. In this bright flame, the Japanese sea ships had almost nowhere to hide, and on the distant peninsula, catapults were already waiting for these sea warships to enter the coverage area.
