Nine hundred and sixtieth chapters fire under the pontoon
The rolling river was running turbulently, and several small boats on the river surface were sailing down the river. They did not need to paddle hard, and the boats were speeding quickly. The thirty elites of the Southern Tang Dynasty had already pulled down the bamboo tubes they carried on their backs.
Watching the pontoon getting closer and closer, their eyes began to glow with excitement. They were only ten feet away from the pontoon. With such a short distance, the boat could reach it in just a few breaths.
However, an accident still happened. The Zhou army seemed to have expected it. They saw the pontoon bridge full of archers, shooting arrows like locusts covering the sky at the thirty elites of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After a shower of arrows,
Several sneak attackers were hit by arrows and turned into hedgehogs. After another rain of arrows, only a few of the thirty elites of the Southern Tang Dynasty were left, but they did not give up.
One of the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty poured the black oil from the bamboo tube onto the small boat. He smiled evilly and lit it together with the small boat. Soon, several other soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty who were not shot to death also poured the small boats they were riding on.
It was lit. Suddenly, several small boats were ignited with blazing fire, but the faces of the few Southern Tang warriors standing in the blazing fire showed no fear. They raised their heads and laughed.
Another burst of arrows shot out, and the few Southern Tang warriors who generously sacrificed their lives fell down in the raging river, with resolute and fearless expressions on their faces. The fire became stronger and stronger, and soon it was
Rushing towards the pontoon. The Zhou army began to panic a little at this time, because the rolling river water brought the flaming boat close to the pontoon, and soon the fire began to spread to the pontoon.
"Quick, quick, send people into the water to put out the fire." A general in the Zhou army shouted loudly, and soon several soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty jumped into the Huaihe River. They slapped the river water one after another, trying to put out the fire.
The ignited boats were doused with water. One or two boats had already extinguished the fire. At this time, the Zhou army was a little confused. Most of the Zhou army were not accustomed to water. Finally, a small boat set the pontoon bridge on fire.
Ye Yinfeng, who was in the dark, watched all this quietly. He saw the thirty Southern Tang warriors buried in the turbulent river. His expression became very complicated, but the next moment his face
A determined expression began to appear. "Wanru, tell them to prepare." He whispered to Lu Wanru beside him. After hearing this, Lu Wanru made a few gestures to the dark, and then she tightly grasped Ye Yinfeng's clothes.
.
When the Zhou army put out the fire in the last boat that was on fire in embarrassment, they panicked and put out the fire that spread on the pontoon. Only then did they have time to breathe a sigh of relief. "Look, what is that?"
"Soon, some soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty noticed something strange, and his words immediately attracted the attention of the Zhou army. Everyone looked at the river, with unbelievable doubts in their eyes.
Under the dim night, in the rolling river water, countless round wooden barrels suddenly floated from the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. The barrels drifted towards the pontoon with the waves. The originally turbid and yellowish river water now changed.
It became abnormally black, as if there was a layer of black oil stains floating on the river. As the barrel got closer to the pontoon, the black oil stains on the river became thicker and thicker, and the black oil stains gave off a strange smell.
Stink.
No one had ever seen the black oil stains floating on the river. Soon a general of Zhou Dynasty saw the black oil stains floating on the river. His expression changed greatly. "Get out of the way and leave the pontoon."
." The general roared, and he rushed towards a temporary tent where the military meeting was held. He prayed in his heart, hoping that his guess was wrong. He hoped that this time it would just be
An accident.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was convening an emergency military meeting. Most of the generals who conquered the Tang Dynasty were present, except for the pioneer general. He was very excited and relieved that Zhang Yongde could build the pontoon bridge across the river in such a timely manner. All of them
The plan was going according to his steps, and he was even more energetic. With a wave of his hand, he would cross the river and attack Shouzhou City early tomorrow morning.
Just when the generals were excited, the Zhou general rushed into the temporary meeting tent. The two guards standing outside the tent wanted to stop the general, but they were kicked by the general.
The guard kicked him away. "General Zhao, something bad has happened, something has happened in the river." The Zhou general said in a panic as soon as he entered the camp. Zhao Kuangyin's heart trembled, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged.
Zhao Kuangyin led the Zhou generals and rushed towards the pontoon. When he saw a layer of black oil stains floating in the surging river, his face instantly became extremely pale. He naturally recognized the oil stain floating on the river.
Oil stain is a kind of black oil collected from the ground. As long as any object is stained with this black oil, it only needs a few scattered sparks to instantly ignite the object.
Many generals in the Zhou Dynasty did not know this thing. Although they saw Zhao Kuangyin's pale face and felt faintly uneasy in their hearts, they were still full of questions. "General Zhao, floating on the river.
What is the oil stain on it?" One general mustered up the courage to ask Zhao Kuangyin. "Well, everything is God's will. I was negligent and forgot about that person." At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was full of enthusiasm.
It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over my head, and all the excitement disappeared.

The exploded wooden barrel was like a blooming flower, with fire splashing and sparks falling on the river surface. Soon, the river surface seemed to be enchanted by magic, and it immediately burned, and scattered sparks engulfed the entire river.
The surface of the river was on fire, and flames several feet high were seen shooting up from the surface of the river. It was not a turbulent river, but a river of fire that soared into the sky. The flames rising into the sky illuminated the surrounding area.
At this time, the Zhou soldiers' eyes showed confusion and shock. They all knew that water can extinguish water, but they had never seen fire burning on the water. The fire burned the entire river in one go.
Then, the fire quickly spread to the bottom of the pontoon with the rapid speed of the river. There were still countless wooden barrels under the pontoon that had not been washed away, and the fire surrounded the barrels.
"Bang, bang, bang" several violent explosions disturbed the dim night. The "whooshing" fire and the huge explosion swallowed up the floating bridge. Suddenly, the Zhou army became a mess.
, many soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty standing on the pontoon bridge were drowned by the bursts of explosions and the firelight that shot up into the sky before they could escape. The miserable screams resounded through the night sky, and the firelight dyed the night.
A bright red color.
The fire was soaring to the sky above the river, and the fire stirred up waves of heat. The pontoon was also enveloped in layers of flames at that moment, and several wooden barrels exploded under the pontoon. The sound of the explosion was accompanied by the burning of the fire.
The sound, the sound of the Zhou army panicking, was filled with flames for two miles of the Huaihe River. It was like a fairy magic coming. Along with the fire, there were also billowing smoke rushing into the night sky, and the sky was filled with thick smoke.
The flames on the river were like waves, and a sad and majestic picture slowly unfolded.
Zhao Kuangyin looked helplessly at the pontoon bridge that was swallowed up by the fire. His face was extremely pale, and his heart was even more depressed and angry. This was the pontoon bridge that the Zhou army had built after several days of painstaking efforts. In order to prevent the troops from the Southern Tang Dynasty from coming.
The dead soldiers destroyed this bridge, and he transferred almost all the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty here. Naturally, he also received a secret report. Dozens of dead soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had been eliminated in the Great Zhou military camp, but there was still a sparse one in the hundred meters.
The sound of fire roared, the sound of explosions boomed, and the sound of wailing was mournful. The Zhou army fell into unprecedented chaos. The generals of the Zhou Dynasty, who were slightly calmer, could not hide their dismay at such a magnificent event.
The scene made people feel heart palpitated, but those soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty who did not understand the situation were panicked. They thought that this was heaven's punishment, and that God was going to punish Zhou. Otherwise, how could the fire on the river be ignited into the sky.
"General Lin, General Lin!" Lin Renzhao, who had been up all night, felt a little sleepy at this time. He was leaning on the desk and almost fell asleep. At this time, a guard rushed into his tent and shouted loudly.
Lin Renzhao said. Lin Renzhao was a little unhappy because he had not received any news from Huangfuhui and others. Especially since he had just fallen asleep, he was naturally not in a good mood. "It's unbecoming to be in a panic. Report something quickly." He said extremely.
Said impatiently.
"General Lin, something big has happened. Go and see. There's a fire on the river. Something strange is happening from the sky." The guard said anxiously to Lin Renzhao. "What..." Lin Renzhao woke up immediately with a startle, and he hurriedly repeated
He asked, but before he could wait for the guard's answer, he hurriedly rushed out of the camp. At this time, the Southern Tang military camp was also noisy, and all the generals and soldiers were seen standing in the distance, with expressions on their faces.
An expression of disbelief.
When Lin Renzhao rushed to the sentry tower, several generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty rushed over, and the generals rushed to the sentry tower. When Lin Renzhao saw the scene in the distance, he felt a little bit of shock in addition to the unconcealed shock.
Unbelievably, a raging fire was burning on the rolling river surface in the distance. The fire on the river surface was soaring into the sky and stretching for several miles. At this time, the Huaihe River was like a galloping fire dragon.
"It seems that Huangfuhui's plan was successful. They burned down the pontoon bridge in Dazhou, but the black oil they carried was not enough to set the entire river on fire. Who on earth had such a big hand and actually set the entire river on fire?
It's lit, God is really helping me in the Tang Dynasty." Lin Renzhao murmured. "Yes, it's really a miracle from heaven. The pontoon bridge of the Zhou army is destroyed, and the crisis in Shouzhou can be solved." Other Southern Tang Dynasty
The general couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and responded.
"Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion must have sent someone to help, otherwise who would be so generous?" One of the generals guessed. "Although Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion belongs to the martial arts sect in the Tang Dynasty, they rarely participate in such ordinary activities.
In the war, even His Majesty cannot ask them to help. Who can invite the martial arts cultivator from Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion?" A general turned his head and looked at Lin Renzhao, his meaning was obviously unclear.
"I don't have such a big reputation. This time the Master Lu of Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion and his wife came to Shouzhou. It was an accident. Besides, martial arts cultivators all over the world have regulations. High-level martial cultivators cannot participate in the battle of the country. Unless the Great Zhou Dynasty
We have made an exception, but even if there are martial arts cultivators participating in the war, the opportunities are limited. Those who can make such a big deal are naturally the people of Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion, but how can they have such a big face?" Lin Renzhao explained with a wry smile.
.
The night was dyed red by the river fire, and the high-spirited fighting spirit of the Zhou army was completely burned by the river fire. The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, led by Zhao Kuangyin, had thoughts of death in their hearts. They did not expect that the anger of the past few days would finally turn into ashes.
For a piece of ashes. The sky gradually became brighter under the burning of the river fire. Finally, the fire on the river surface slowly extinguished. The pontoon bridge had already been burned beyond recognition by the fire. With the impact of the river,
The pontoon bridge that was reduced to ashes suddenly shattered into pieces, and its remaining branches and broken pieces were swept down by the rushing water of the river.
There is a layer of black smoke hanging over the sky, which is the remnant smoke left by the fire. The ashes drift with the waves, and finally the water returns to water.
