Of course, Red was also in the camp. He heard that the enemy fireboats were attacking, so he hurried out of the camp and rode his horse to the east of the water village. At this time, it was blowing east. The boat was breezeing with the wind, and the fire was beating. The two fireboats came fiercely, and they broke the fence and rushed into the water village. Dozens of urns were intercepted in rows. Although the fireboats were fierce, they were only two. They were soon stopped by more than a dozen water ghosts, and they only had more than a hundred steps into the water village.

The water ghost quickly drilled through the bottom of the ship, and the two fire ships entered the water and sank quickly, leaving only some Mars on the water.

When Red arrived at the easternmost shore, the crisis had been resolved. Someone came to report information to Red. Red frowned. This is a typical thunder sound and raindrops are small. What does Li Yanqing mean? Test his own defense?

Just when he was puzzled, a soldier sighed, "I'm lucky. I'll come from the east. If I come from the west, I'm afraid I'll be close to the big ship."

A thought flashed through Red's mind instantly, and he screamed, "Not good!"

He shouted, "Everyone goes west, go quickly!"

He had realized that this was Li Yanqing's plan to attack the west, and something might happen to the west.

At this moment, fire suddenly broke out in the water village. Rivals of fire were lit at the berth of the large ships in the west and at the two main warships in the middle. The fire spread extremely rapidly, as if the entire water surface was burning. Red was shocked, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Suddenly there was a shout behind him. Red turned around and saw a fire in the camp, east, west, and south. The fire took advantage of the wind and swept towards the shore with his tongue. The soldiers in the camp fled in scattered all over, extremely embarrassed.

"General, unlock the ships and enter the river, or they will all be burned!" a side general rushed over and shouted.

Red sighed. The other party had already expected this, so he attacked the camp. Now the camp is in chaos. How to organize soldiers? But even dead horses must be treated as live horses. Red immediately ordered the drum to beat the expedition.

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’

When the drums were ringing, all the navy had to board the ship, but in the chaos, less than a thousand soldiers rushed towards the shore.

At this time, the fire burned the river, and almost all hundreds of ships in the entire barracks were engulfed by the barracks. Only the fifty five hundred stone warships on the east side were not affected by the fire for the time being, but temporal oil would soon burn over according to the development of the fire.

The soldiers boarded the boat one after another, and even the sails didn't have time to pull up. They untied the cables and took the boat away. More than fifty warships drove away from the water camp one after another and headed towards the river.

At this time, the three Ruan Tribes on the Yangtze River were leading more than 100 warships on the surface of the Yangtze River, and they saw that many ships in the water camp had escaped.

After more than fifty warships left the water camp, Ruan Xiaoer waved his hand, and his brother Ruan Xiaoqi led thirty fast ships toward the gate of the water camp, cutting off the retreat of the enemy warships. Ruan Xiaoer shouted loudly, "Strike!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The sound of the attacking drums sounded on the river, and more than a hundred warships rushed from enemy warships in all directions.

The sky gradually became brighter, and more than 2,000 soldiers stood on the shore, staring blankly at the river. At this time, the fires in the Water Village and Hanzhai had already been extinguished. Hanzhai was burned to white ground. Since something happened to the Water Village first, many soldiers were awakened. So when the Hanzhai caught fire, most of the soldiers escaped from the camp and lost only more than fifty people.

But the water village suffered even more heavy losses. There were hundreds of warships that did not escape from the water village. Only more than 30 sentry ships were not affected. The rest of the warships were all burned down. The shore was filled with hulls burned into black charcoal, half in the water, half exposed on the water surface, emitting white air.

More than 50 medium-sized warships that escaped from the water camp also encountered the encirclement and annihilation of the three Ruan Tribes. They were sunk seven warships outside the warships. All the other warships were captured and taken to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

This result made all the soldiers feel extremely bitter. In the end, there were only thirty-five whistle ships left in their hundreds of warships. The navy turned into infantry. In the saying of Jiangnan, this is called "a duck plucks her hair and turns into a chicken."

Red was even more depressed. Without the warship, his title, his general, would the Xiang family give him?

At this time, the commander Xiangfa rushed to the naval army camp under the escort of dozens of cavalry. Xiangfa knew that something had happened to the water camp last night, but he did not dare to come over, worried about being ambushed halfway, and only rushed to the sky after dawn.

The tragic situation in the water village made Xiang angry. He repeatedly told Red the afternoon before yesterday to prevent him from being attacked by the enemy. But just one day later, he was really attacked by Li Yanqing. Did Red take what he said as a warning to him?

"The Grandmaster is here!"

Someone shouted, and Red also saw Xiang Fa. He had to bite the bullet and go forward to see him, "I am guilty of humble position, please punish the general!"

"You are guilty, and I will never let you go, but I want to know how many warships are left now?"

Red whispered for a while: "There are thirty-five whistle ships left."

"What!"

Xiangfa's eyes turned black and he almost fell off his horse. He was angry and pointed at Redling with a horse whip and said, "Take it down for me, behead it on the spot!"

Several personal soldiers pressed Red to the ground. Red yelled anxiously: "These are my ships. The ships were burned, which is my personal loss. Why should I kill me!"

Sun Li, the army officer next to him, whispered: "Master, these naval troops are all Red's people. Killing Red will affect morale. Besides, you cannot explain it to the prince. It is better to spare his life for the time being and let the prince come and give it to the prince."

Xiangfa held back his anger and waved his hand again. The soldiers let go. Red got up and tidied up his military uniform. He glared at Xiangfa, and said, "You are not recruiting me, so I won't kill you, but I will report to the prince and let the prince come and give you a chance!"

After saying that, Xiang shouted, "Let's go!"

He turned his horse and ran out of the barracks. Red looked at them and went away from the background, spat heavily, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Xiangfa, wait for me, and if I don't repay the humiliation today, I will not be named Lei!"

Just when the Ruan Tribe Sanxiong led more than a thousand subordinates to bring fifty warships and hundreds of prisoners of war back to Jiangdu County, the 10,000 troops who came from the Huaihe River also arrived in Jiangdu County. The army in Jiangdu County had 20,000 people, all of which were elite troops of Li Yanqing's Jingzhao Army. Liu Qi and Wang Gui each led 10,000 troops, including three thousand cavalry.

At the same time, three thousand ships were loaded with people moving south and arrived in Jiangdu County. There were hundreds of thousands of people moving south coming from the land. Li Yanqing ordered the army to build a large camp outside Jiangdu City so that the people could stay temporarily. He needed to use these three thousand ships to transport the army across the river.

The next morning, Li Yanqing led 20,000 troops to the Yangtze River. Thousands of ships were moored in the canal close to the Yangtze River, waiting for the soldiers to board the ship. Li Yanqing still needs to get information from the other shore. According to the agreement, Yan Qing should send a pigeon letter to Jiangdu in the morning.

At this time, a cavalry rushed from the direction of Jiangdu City and shouted loudly from afar: "Urgent Information!"

The newsman was holding a red pigeon letter tube, which indicated that an emergency military situation occurred. Li Yanqing was also a little worried. It is very likely that the army of Jiangning Prefecture began to march towards Runzhou.

Li Yanqing took out a roll of fine silk, which only had a few words inside, but it made his face look bad.

"The commander-in-chief, is it the Jiangning Prefecture army who came to Runzhou?" Liu Qi walked up and asked in a low voice.

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The army of Jiangning Mansion did not move. Another 30,000 troops were coming here in Hangzhou, and they have arrived in Suzhou."

"How come there is an army?" Liu Qi really couldn't figure it out.

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "This should be the newly recruited army of the three foreign relatives, but their target should not be us, but their plan to gather a large army to march towards the capital after annihilation of me."

"Then do we need to wait a little longer?"

"No need to wait!"

Li Yanqing said decisively: "There are at least two days left to come from Suzhou. If the Jiangning Prefecture army does not move, we will kill this army first."

He then turned around and ordered: "Tell me my order, and the army will start crossing the river!"

The 20,000 Jingzhao soldiers who had already gathered on standby in the canal lined up to board the ship. Large ships full of soldiers drove into the Yangtze River from the canal and headed towards Dantu County, Runzhou on the other side of the Yangtze River. The small fleet carrying grain and military funds also set off. For a moment, thousands of sails were like clouds, thousands of boats competed for the current, and countless ships competed for the water to cross the south, which seemed spectacular.

Just when the 20,000 Jingzhao Army began to cross the south, the commander Xiang Fa and deputy commander Liu Yanqing had a fierce dispute in the tent of the military camp of Jiangning Prefecture. Xiang Fa advocated to hold on and wait for work, while Liu Yanqing strongly advocated rushing to Runzhou and launching a half-cross attack on Li Yanqing's army. The two had completely opposite opinions, and the generals outside the tent heard their quarrel.

"Deputy Commander Liu, I want to remind you again that our army has 80,000 people, while the other side has only 20,000 people. With the reinforcements from the north, our troops are five times the strength of the other side. Now what we have to do is put Li Yanqing in, and then we close the door and beat the dog. When we go to Runzhou, we will only scare the other side and retreat. This is not our goal."

"I want to remind you too!"

Liu Yanqing's voice sounded like thunder, which shocked the generals outside the tent to fear.

"Li Yanqing's army is called Jingzhao Army. Half of it was the elite army he recruited from Jingzhao Mansion by himself, and the other half was the veterans who followed him to fight south and north. He defeated the Jin soldiers twice in Taiyuan City and Kaifeng Mansion. His combat effectiveness was far greater than that of ordinary imperial guards. If you put him into Jiangnan, you would put a wolf into the sheep pen, and you would definitely regret it."

"Our army is also an elite soldier who has been trained for a long time. It is not the so-called imperial guards that even the old and weak Liao army cannot defeat. How can we not defeat Li Yanqing with five-on-one?"

"That's your arrogant!"

"Liu Yanqing, how dare you insult the coach, get out of here!"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Liu Yanqing walked out angrily, scaring the generals to leave one after another, causing Liu Yanqing, who was full of anger, to leave.

Xiangfa slowly walked to the door of the tent and looked at Liu Yanqing's back in a cold look. He had never understood why his uncle tried his best to recruit Liu Yanqing because he had 20,000 new recruits in his hands?

Liu Yanqing has a proud personality and has always looked down on him. His uncle brought this person to make things difficult for him. The military orders are as high as a mountain, so how could a general dare to contradict the commander?
