It is naturally not easy to set a fire on the river surface, but it is even more impossible without tincture. Even if there is tincture, it will not be very big.

But there is no doubt that Ning Jun's active attack disrupted the rhythm of the Tianming Army.

Things like rhythm are hard to explain.

But once the rhythm is destroyed, you will fall into a passive state.

For example, Ning Jun's stone throwing cart was attracted by the floating bridge of Tianming Army, and the acquired Tianming Army began to cross the river in a very strange way. In this way, the rhythm of Ning Jun's stone throwing cart was chaotic.

Xiahou Zhuo arranged hundreds of soldiers with excellent water quality to go down, which also disrupted the rhythm of the Tianming Army.

Originally, the Tianming Army had already taken the initiative, and then the fire broke out in scattered ways, which forced them to get nervous.

But this is not the real goal of those men who went into the water. Their goal is the wooden stakes under the pontoon bridge.

Ning Army soldiers tied ropes from the large ships to wooden stakes of pontoon bridges, and the ship pulled the pontoon bridge, which resulted in the Tianming Army's own destruction of the pontoon bridge.

These men didn't need to be able to do it many times. Even if they only tied the ropes used to drag soldiers on the pontoon bridge from three or five ships, the pontoon bridge of the Tianming Army was in danger.

Hundreds of people completely disrupted the attack rhythm of the Tianming Army and began to retreat, and the battle in the water was particularly tragic.

"Look the fire on the bow!"

Xiahou Zhuo ordered.

On the banks of the Ningjun River, the ships that had been prepared began to ignite, and the soldiers rowed their fire boats and rushed into the river.

From the beginning, Xiahou Zhuo did not intend to defend passively, because Pei Fanglun must have thought he would make such a plan.

The flames rose on the boat, and Ning soldiers were wearing shields in front of them, and the people behind them rowed desperately. When there was still a short distance, they abandoned the boat. Regardless of whether they could hit it or not, the goal was to block it.

The scene of hundreds of burning boats on the river also looks quite spectacular.

These fire ships completely blocked the attack speed of the Tianming Army. In order to avoid the large-scale turn of the fire ship, the soldiers dragged behind fell into the water one after another.

Some cargo ships collided on the pontoon bridge, which quickly ignited the pontoon bridge.

Setting fire on the water is very difficult to do, but this is the first wave of blocking that Xiahou Zhuo had on Pei Fanglun.

Although there is no wind or wave, the ships are filled with flammable objects, and the fire is in a hurry. The soldiers of the Tianming Army are busy getting water to put out the fire, so they can't even take care of moving forward.

As a result, more and more soldiers of the Tianming Army were silted in the middle of the river.

Both the ships and the soldiers on the pontoon bridge were blocked.

Xiahou Zhuo looked at the messenger beside him: "Blow the horns and give orders to Zhuo Qinglin."

The horn sounded the second time, different from the previous horn sound.

Zhuo Qinglin from the back formation immediately understood that the real fire attack was just about to begin.

"Don't feel sorry for changing into a turbulent barrel, replace all the rock throwing cars!"

After the last battle, Tang Pidi did not use much tincture oil. Li Chi knew at that time that the next attack of the Tianming Army would definitely be able to use it.

He transferred almost all the calls from Yuzhou to the camp on the north bank of the Hebei region.

In fact, this is not a prediction of the uncertainty, but an inevitable development of the truth.

As long as the King of Heavenly Destiny Yang Xuanji gets the news that Tang Pidian has led the main force of the Ning army to go east, he will definitely order the Tianming army to attack Yuzhou.

Therefore, such preparation is a meticulous judgment, rather than seeing through any way of heaven.

In order to make this fire attack scare the enemy, Xiahou Zhuo also came up with a solution.

The amount of tincture oil is limited, so just divide it into three barrels per barrel, and then stuff a lot of worn clothes or cloth into the oil barrel. This way, the consumption of tincture oil can be reduced and the fire can also look scary.

Before all wooden barrels are placed on the stone throwing truck, they can use a saw to make sure that the wooden barrels will break when they fall on the water.

With Zhuo Qinglin's order, all the stone throwing cars shot out the wooden barrel almost at the same time.

On the river surface, the soldiers of Tianming Army who were silting here raised their heads and watched black things fly over from a distance.

With a bang, the first wooden barrel hit the water and then cracked, and the tincture began to flow above the water.

Some wooden barrels were smashed on the pontoon bridge, and some were broken on the enemy's warship. At this time, the second round of the Ningjun Arrow Formation rocket was released.

In just a moment, the fire on the river surface began to burn, and the soldiers of the Tianming Army who were congested on the river were so scared that they jumped into the water.

Some people have good water properties, step on water and float on water. They look for broken wood to hold it, while those who are unlucky will be drowned soon.

Thick black smoke rose from the river, and the soldiers of the Tianming Army who were hiding in a hurry could not even see the array of Ning Army on the other side.

South Bank.

Pei Fanglun's face looked a little ugly when he saw this scene, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

This is a showdown between the younger generation and the older generation of leaders. Whoever wins and loses seems to be the result of this war, but if you think deeper, you will think of it as a conflict between the old era and the new era.

Under such strong flames and black smoke, the Tianming Army could no longer advance and could only retreat.

The pontoon bridge they built was burning under heavy losses, and the debris of the ships were floating on the river.

If the congestion in the river is not caused, then this fire attack will not play a big role, because the tincture oil and clothing will be washed away by the water flow.

The thick smoke finally dissipated, and it was already dark. Under the setting sun, the remaining fire on the river seemed to echo the dark red sun.

On the first day, the Tianming Army's offensive was suppressed and they failed to climb the north shore as planned.

However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xiahou Zhuo severely damaged the morale of the Tianming Army.

Those soldiers of the Tianming Army who originally thought they could avenge their previous shame in one battle were once again frustrated, and their determination would be greatly reduced.

Xiahou Zhuo looked at his subordinates: "Divided into three teams to take turns to night. The enemy may move tonight. They should use rockets to put them on the river surface from time to time, and use heavy crossbows to ensure that the enemy situation can be discovered in time."

The subordinates agreed and divided into three teams to prepare.

Xiahou Zhuo looked back and looked at Li Chi sitting on the sand on the shore, raising the wood to prepare some dry food to eat.

Xiahou Zhuo returned to Li Chi, sat down and said, "Praise me."

Li Chi: "You are the elder brother, so Isn't it too much to ask your brother to praise you?"

Xiahou Zhuo said: "My younger brother is the king. Isn't it too much to praise my brother?"

Li Chi smiled, lit the fire, and put on a steamed bun on the fire: "When you were commanding the battle on the shore just now, I thought of a lot."

Xiahou Zhuo sat upright: "Are you going to start praising me?"

Li Chi said: "I thought of it... you are all so powerful, I am more and more like an idle person. After you win, I have to praise you in different ways according to your requirements. If you can't praise you well, you will be disliked. I will be the king like this..."

He looked at Xiahou Zhuo: "Is it a bit too good?"

Xiahou Zhuo burst out laughing with a squeak.

Not long after, Li Chi handed the baked steamed bun to Xiahou Zhuo: "So I have to save myself from praising people."

Xiahou Zhuo: "Then why are you unconscious? You are so stingy."

Li Chi said: "How about this, I'll think of a way to tell you a matchmaker. You're not too young, you have to have a companion."

Xiahou Zhuo narrowed his eyes: "After so many years, has the transaction between you two not opened yet?"

Li Chi said: "Nonsense, are we not opening, we are... that's picking, that's striving for excellence, that's better than nothing."

Xiahou Zhuo: "Okay, go find it."

Li Chi felt something was wrong and asked, "Why don't you refuse?"

Xiahou Zhuo said: "This may be the only reward that can be given to such a stingy king, and I still refuse it?"

He glared at Li Chi: "If I reject the reward for even the verbal reward, what else can I have?"

Li Chi said: "It seems that I can't keep the reputation like this."

At the same time, Qingzhou.

Prefecture city.

The former base camp of the King Tu Army here, after Gan Daode was killed, the King Tu Army fell into pieces and scattered.

Everyone wanted to occupy this big city to be the foundation, but no one would convince anyone. After several battles, no one took advantage, and the big city was abandoned instead.

Until Shen Shanhu led 100,000 Yanzhou troops to the south, the various troops in Qingzhou were defeated in succession, and finally they could only join forces again to retreat to the prefecture city to block the Yanzhou army.

However, what they did not expect was that not only Ningjun, but Luojing also came.

After seven consecutive days of attack, the city walls of this big city were finally planted with the red battle flag of Ning Jun.

At this moment, in the large open space in the city, many people were besieged by Ning Jun.

They all looked at each other, wondering what kind of outcome they would have.

Shen Shanhu sat on the chair, her legs resting on the low wall in front, shaking, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Luo Jing walked up to her, as if he didn't want to disturb her rest. He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Does General Luo want to ask me, are you here or me?"

Luo Jing smiled: "I just want to ask this."

Shen Shanhu smiled and said, "Of course, it is better for men to come. If women are asked to come, they will probably be too cruel."

Luo Jing laughed: "Then I'll do it."
