Chapter 3116: How could it catch fire on the surface of the river?

His eyes were like a night owl in the dark, staring at the general who gave orders on the shore, and finally saw that person's face in the flames.
Suddenly laughed wildly.
The people around were relieved after seeing the general clearly, and then some people laughed.
Nan Yan's eyesight was not as good as them, but squinted at the place where the fire was most intense, and quickly recognized the fairly familiar figure from the crowd. The general was only in his twenties, and he was handsome. Although he was wearing an armor, the addition of the armor did not make him appear heroic, on the contrary, it seemed a bit cumbersome.
That is obviously not a serious military commander.
For such people, those who have been used to fighting can tell at a glance.
And when he saw that person, Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly-that was Chen Xuan!
The three children of the old country’s uncle brought by the former fellow practitioner Shouzhen Taoist, among them Chen Zixiao stationed in Han Dongwei, Chen Yi stayed as cabinet minister, only this Chen Xuan, Zhu Feng let him stay in Jinling as an official. Although far away from the capital, Jinling is also the capital of the south after all. He is still young and it is not convenient for him to immediately participate in major events in the DPRK. A few years of experience in Jinling will be good for the future.
But this time, Jinling City was captured by Zhu Chengjin's people. After he entered the city, he killed so many officials. Nan Yan never saw Chen Xuan and thought he had been killed.
Unexpectedly, he would appear in the army in Yangzhou.
Moreover, as a military commander.
But what about Xu Shifeng?
Nan Yan thought so, and subconsciously looked around. Chen Xuan was surrounded by officials and soldiers from the Yangzhou government, but he never saw Xu Shifeng.
Zhu Chengjin already laughed wildly: "Look, Xu Shifeng is not good either."
As he said, he turned his head to look at Nan Yan, looked up and down at her conspicuous dress, and said in a frivolous and sarcasm: "This dress is worn for nothing."
Nan Yan sneered.
Said: "This palace doesn't feel strange."
"Oh?"
"Slowly you will get used to it. Your mind will never miss this one."
Hearing this, Zhu Chengjin's face sank slightly, but at this time, the sound of killing was already shaking the sky, and he had no time to care about Nan Yan, so he immediately turned his head, and more ships arrived at the shallows. After the water bandits jumped down, they had already charged with the soldiers on the shore.
Although it was already late at night, no matter whether it was on the shore or on the river, it was brightly lit. The fire almost ignited the surface of the river, but after the people on both sides fought together, it was impossible to tell who was who. Nan Yan stood on the side of the ship. Above, I just watched countless people wielding gleaming swords and fighting desperately. There were constant screams and exclamations penetrating through the sky-shaking killing shouts, resounding across the night sky.
The darkness of the night seemed to be stained with a trace of blood.
Originally, the two sides only fought evenly, but at this time, Zhu Chengjin gave another order: "Kill!"
Immediately, from behind the big ship, dozens of small boats drove out, each of which was densely packed with their men and horses, Zhu Chengjin's original soldiers and horses, and they immediately rushed to the river beach.
At this time, the number of people on both sides became very different.
The reason why Chen Xuan adopts the geese formation is also because the soldiers and horses on the Yangzhou side have indeed lost a lot in the previous two battles. Although this formation can withstand the attack of the water bandits at the beginning, it can wait until there is another one. When the wave attacks, the weakness of the follow-up will be immediately exposed.
And the roundabout goal of the geese formation was not achieved at all.
At this moment, even Nan Yan, who had been calm, couldn't help frowning, subconsciously reached out and grabbed the fence in front of him, and leaned forward.
What will they do?
As soon as she saw her somewhat eager look, Zhu Chengjin's face showed a gloomy sneer.
For him, whether it is victory on the battlefield or seeing others suffering and showing pain and worry, it is a great joy to him.
So he shouted again: "Drumming, attack!"
Immediately, the big drums on the two big boats on both sides were hammered heavily, and the drums rumbling, like the muffled thunder from the sky and the earth, even the surface of the river seemed to be shaken, the river was constantly ups and downs, they stood on the big boat, and there were some bumps. Suddenly, Nan Yan supported the fence with both hands, seeing the people rushing to the river beach clamoring, like a heavy hammer, smashing into the geese formation arranged by Chen Xuan.
Suddenly, the formation was in chaos.
The soldiers guarding Yangzhou were immediately dispersed, and they were about to be defeated.
Nan Yan only felt that the night had become hot because of this fight. The temperature in the wind made her feel like standing in a volcanic crater, dripping drop by drop on her head.
It's not just her.
The people around also felt the unusual temperature in the night breeze. Although it was summer, there shouldn't be such a hot night breeze on the river. Many people couldn't help but fan the wind on their faces.
At this moment, someone in the stern yelled: "It's not good, it's on fire!"
on fire? !
The people on the boat were stunned.
They are on the river, how could they catch fire? And seeing that on the shore, only the people and horses on both sides were killed together, where is the fire?
However, the shout was clearly at the stern of the ship, and many boatmen and sailors ran over here in exclamation and said to Zhu Chengjin and the others: "No, it's not good!"
Zhu Chengjin frowned: "What is the ghost shouting? What is on fire?"
A boatman said out of breath: "Jiangshang, the river is on fire!"
"what?"
After hearing this, Zhu Chengjin felt wrong, and immediately led everyone to rush to the stern.
Nan Yan naturally followed closely, and as soon as he reached the stern, he was immediately stunned by the situation in front of him.
They had just reached the stern of the ship, but they could hardly see anything except the small boats following the big ship in the water mist. But now, they saw a raging fire on the river surface, and half of the Yangtze River was in a flash. Are all illuminated.
That is how the matter?
How could it catch fire on the surface of the river?
And seeing that the fire was not only burning on the surface of the river, but also spreading towards them at a rapid speed.
Zhu Chengjin and the others were shocked.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be countless small boats. There were countless grain grass piled on the ship. The grain grass seemed to be splashed with tung oil. When someone took a torch, it burned immediately, forming a fireboat.
At this moment, dozens of fire boats with blazing flames drove toward them quickly along the river, and they were about to hit the boat behind. The people on the boat immediately jumped into the river and swam desperately. Climbed into the big boat stubbornly.
Zhu Chengjin was shocked: "How could this be?"
