On the water surface of Jingkou, the vast Yangtze River is like an ocean, and the river bank is like a coast; the land horizon to the west is a huge river center continent.

A large number of ships floated on the water like leaves. Snowflakes drizzled in the air, like a sad rain; layers of white waves swept towards the giant ship, slapped on the side of the ship, and made a loud noise. However, black smoke filled the air, rolling like no direction in the wind.

A river on the north bank is relatively narrow, that is, the canal connecting the Yangtze River from the north to the estuary. The estuary is filled with smoke, and the flames are raging on a large ship. The fire has lost control. The sails on the mast are burned out, and the rags with fireworks are constantly falling down. Several main masts stand barely in the air. On the water surface, there are shouting, and many people's heads are shaking.

Behind the fireboat, a long string of sails of warships squeezed into the river, almost covering the entire river, and there was no way to see where the tail had stretched.

At this moment, more than a dozen small boats wandered out of the giant ships, and the sails rushed towards the inlet of the river with the northeast wind. The warships of the Southern Tang army blocked the estuary were prepared, and the crossbows and catapults on the large ships were launched, and many light boats went to intercept them. The rockets shot from the crossbow flew around like locusts in the air.

There was a "thump" sound on the water, and many fireballs fell into the river. The surface of a can filled with tiny oil (oil) was burning and rolling, and it just hit the mast of a small sailboat. It broke suddenly, and the boiling tiny oil splashed everywhere. The sail immediately caught fire. The flames fell from mid-air like a rain of fire. The ship quickly burned, and the panicked sailor jumped into the cold river with the wooden board.

Most of the Zhou army's more than a dozen small sailboats were burned before they got closer. But several ships still rushed to the front of the warship... The main warships were all hardwood hulls and were very tall. Even if the small boat hit it, it would not only not cause any damage to it, but it would not even be so easy for the fire to burn the big ship. The burning fireboats would cause damage to it, but the soldiers of the Southern Tang army had enough time to put out the fire.

Unexpectedly, an inconspicuous sailboat approached at this time and crashed into the warship, but the small sailboat did not catch fire.

Some people who discovered the ship were a little puzzled. Suddenly, there was a loud bang! The dazzling fire light lit up like lightning, far exceeding the ordinary flame light. The thick white smoke rose up and spread quickly to the surroundings. Under the explosion, the wooden boards on the side of the warship flew up like mid-air, with a big hole breaking on the side, and the hull seemed to be cracked.

The white waves, with broken debris, fell to the surroundings of the river, and the giant ship quickly began to tilt to the right.

Everyone was shocked from far and wide. Amid the noise and shouting, someone vaguely shouted: "It's gunpowder! Gunpowder that exploded the city wall!"

The water surface was in chaos, and many small sailboats were seen floating towards the Yangtze River on the canal... Now the soldiers of the Southern Tang army seemed to have seen the plague god, and the ship immediately turned around and retreated to the south to avoid such a catastrophe.

Only some small boats were still fighting in front, mainly relying on bows and crossbows to shoot each other. All the arrows were tied with oil cloth, which was very conspicuous in the air.

At this time, the warship in the front of the Zhou army finally slowly sailed south from the gap. The speed seemed slow, but no one could stop it. The small boat was feinted at the big boat, and even the bow and crossbow could not shoot people. The big boat was very likely to hit and attack again, just like slaughtering people under the city walls.

Several Zhou army sailboats finally entered the open water of the Yangtze River, but the follow-up was still very difficult. The canal was narrow and blocked the waterway by the burning broken ship. It was very difficult for the warships behind to come out.

The navy leader Han Tong had already boarded the ship and then passed through the estuary of the river. The fire not far away had not sunk yet, and the fire was fierce and no one went to put out the fire, just like a ball of fire floating on the water. Han Tong stood on the boat building and passed by this water area, feeling the heat, with a faint pain on his face, and a little unbearable feeling, but he still stood on it.

Looking ahead, several warships rushed out first on the river were besieged by the ships of the Southern Tang army. On the river, there were a mess of ships of the Southern Tang army floating in a mess. Because the ships that retreated in the early stage were rowing randomly, the front line was no longer in formation... It was snowing and the river was foggy and the sight was unclear. It was difficult to effectively control the fleet with the simple organization of flags and drums. It was also very slow to send people to send orders. Han Tong drew his sword and shouted: "Transfer orders, rush over to reinforce the soldiers in the front!"

The flagship was quickly stared at by the Southern Tang army. Soon, a large ship was approaching. When the two ships approached, the rockets shot out poured out like rain, and the warship turned into a fireworks-firing fireworks-firing fireworks.

On the side, the Southern Tang army threw out iron chains and hooks, and the two ships got closer and closer. Waiting for the wooden bridge to board, a sudden shouting, the Zhou army soldiers rushed up from the deck instead. Everyone was carrying shields and weapons, and the arrows were jingling on the armor. The people in front raised their guns and threw them on the deck, then pulled out their knives and rushed up.

"Puzhu..." Someone kept falling into the water from the side of the ship. Those who fell into the water were almost certain to die, and no one could swim in the cold river water in armor; even if they were wearing iron armor, they would be drowned, and those with armor would wear armor, otherwise they would be shot to death first.

The water surface at the mouth of the river was killed in groups, and more Zhou army warships sailed out of the river, with the waters being congested and crowded.

...The warships on the southern Tang army were all transferred to encircle the river. The river was messy, and many places were fighting on the side, and they were hard to part with each other. More and more ships on both sides were crowded at the mouth of the river, and the scene was like a chaotic big water camp, with a large group of sails huddled into a ball.

On a building ship, the generals of the Southern Tang Army were extremely anxious and had lost control on the battlefield.

There were actually a lot of naval forces in the Zhou army. From a distance, the sails of clouds covered the entire canal. They were just blocked in the river and could not enter the river. But now, countless ships are trying hard to squeeze out! Some warships have broken through the estuary and entered the open land of the river.

If there is no additional naval force to intercept it, once a large number of Zhou army's ships enter the river surface, the eastern front of the Southern Tang army will not be able to withstand it at all.

"The navy from Jingkou Shui Camp was transferred two hours ago. Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng..." The general of the Southern Tang Army was in a state of grief and anger, and was so anxious that he stamped his feet.

Someone next to him was also anxious: "Mr. Liu is no longer in Jingkou, so please send someone to ask for help!"
