The upper reaches of the Pearl River, the night is sparkling, and the river is covered with wooden boats and bamboo rafts. 78xs

The wooden boat was filled with firewood, and there was a sailor standing at the beginning and the tail of each boat. The straw rope connected the bamboo tray behind the wooden boat. The bamboo tray was also filled with firewood, emitting the smell of tin oil and gunpowder. The light moonlight reflected the huge shadow on the water. Under the moonlight, the sailors looked very serious. They were urgently summoned together in the afternoon. Each sailor gave a reward of fifty taels, piled up the forage from the army's forage farm on the wooden boat and bamboo tray, and drizzled with tin oil, and the purpose was obvious.

There was originally a rippling current on the Pearl River rushing towards the Wharf of Western Australia, and wooden boats were dragging bamboo rows in the middle of the river, without much needing to go.

"The wind direction, there will be no problem, right?" Ma Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Commander Ma," a man stood beside him nodded, "The Feng Shui that Jiang Sanmu has seen will never be a problem."

Jiang Nuo is a Dongding from the Li tribe in Lingnan. Although he is a Li tribe, his daily life is no different from that of the Han people. He is a famous Feng Shui master in Shishan Town. However, he also has another identity, he is the head of the Guanfeng Station of the Nanhai Navy. He is the official appointed Chengxinlang, and is comparable to the patriarch of the Li tribe. Therefore, Jiang Nuo has always done his best to the military affairs assigned by the navy, and now he finally has the opportunity to make contributions. Ma Yuan told him that if he made contributions in this battle, the Marquis of Wuchang would definitely recommend him to Chengfenglang. This is an official position of the ninth rank, which is comparable to the patriarch of a county chief or the patriarch of the aristocratic family of the Li tribe..c0m Baidu search "" to see the latest chapter

The wooden boat dragged bamboo stairs and sailed downstream one by one, without seeing the head forward or the tail backward.

"I don't know when did Lord Lin build this Fengguan Station?" Ma Yuan asked casually.

"About half a year ago, the Torch Festival just passed." Lin Nuo said respectfully. He had no intention of hiding the Shangguan sent by the navy to take charge of the overall situation. He was just worried that Ma Yuan would not believe him. He explained, "However, if you include the master, the records passed down by the ancestor's lineage will last for more than a hundred years. The wind and water veins at this Shimen are clearer than the lines on the palms." Lin Nuo felt a little satisfied. Ma Yuan nodded slightly, was secretly frightened, and pondered: "It seems that Lord Zhao had just mastered the navy, and before he left Ezhou, he would have arranged a seat in these important places and established a hydrological station. Foresight is really terrifying."

In fact, even Ma Yuan himself only learned about the plan to attack the Western Australia Pier two days ago.

Shimen Town is located in the upper reaches of the Pearl River and is one of the important towns outside Guangzhou. The court seized all river boats and bamboo rafts in this area in the name of preventing pirates. Guangzhou Prefecture, in the name of preparing for the imperial army to move south, hoarded grass and other military supplies at Shimen, and built a large army forage farm. At that time, the officials of Shimen Town were still funny. Liu Guangguo was indeed a native of the north. He didn't know that the four seasons of Lingnan were like spring, and the listed military supplies actually included a large amount of dry firewood. The navy built several wind-watching stations upstream of Guangzhou, and finally chose Shimen as the starting point for fire prevention. Everything was prepared secretly and everything was ready, just looking forward to the east wind.

For more than a month, Jiang Nuo has been observing the wind direction and river flow. If the wind direction and the hydrology is just right, you need to report to Shangguan immediately.

The day after the news was reported, Ma Yuan came to dispatch all the troops and horses with Jun, and the purpose of all preparations was finally revealed.

"Blessed by God Jiang." Jiang Nuo murmured, his eyes full of piety.

The power of heaven and earth, the power of water and fire, the more familiar people like Jiang Nuo, the more they are in awe. They watch the bamboo raft float downstream along the river, and pray in their hearts. This time, they do not beg for good weather as usual, but hope that the wind and Jiang Liu will send these arson ships to the Wharf of Western Australia as he expected, so that those damn demons will go to the eighteen levels of hell.

The wooden boat dragged a long list of bamboo rafts and disappeared from Ma Yuan and Jiang Nuo's sight one by one.

There are so many civilian ships on the Pearl River. There are thousands of these ships that have been entrusted to make fire attack ships alone. The long fleet cannot see the head east and the tail west. Under the dark night, the arson ship in front has entered the Pearl River channel and will soon sail into the range guarded by the pirate scout ship. The Western Australia Pier is built on a return bay of the Pearl River. As long as it reaches a certain distance, there is no need for a boat, the current will bring most of the ships to the near dock.

On the front fireboat, a middle-aged sailor with purple-red face stood on the bow of the boat with his hips, looking nervous, looking at the lights faintly in the distance, looking down at the river stream, wishing to bury his head into the river water. Suddenly, he raised his left hand and said in a low voice: "You can see here, set the fire!" With this order, the sailor rowing and paddling behind quickly stopped the boat. Someone uncovered the cables that tied the boat, some shook the fire stick and lit the long lead.

At the other end of the lead, there is a pile of wood soaked in tinder oil. In the night, countless wooden boats flow down like ghosts.

Suddenly, with a "boom", a bright flame lit up the night sky. Then, the second and third groups of rivers were full of burning flames, just like the river lanterns filled with the Ullambane Ghost Festival. However, these flames were far more violent than the river lanterns released by the kind men and women. The entire Pearl River was illuminated as bright as day, not like the world, but like a rushing and flowing river in the eighteen layers of hell.

The moon was in the sky, and behind the low walls of the city of Defense, there were soldiers of the regiment training camp sitting and lying on the ground.

"His grandma," Liu Sanqi turned his neck and murmured, "All officials are all unscrupulous."

The battalion where Liu Sanqi was originally a resumption, but Guangzhou Prefecture suddenly issued military orders. In order to prevent pirates' night attacks, all resumptions were cancelled. The officers and soldiers were not allowed to take off their armor and sleep and wait for the day. The musket battalion, the thunderbolt battalion, and the crossbowmen were all transferred to the top of the city. Some battalion that performed well in the battle was temporarily transferred to the camp below the Hanhai City, and they could reinforce the battle at any time. After a long battle, many regiment training camps were exhausted and they were looking forward to relaxing on the day of resumption. Unexpectedly, the military orders were like mountains. One battalion had just caused an accident. Guangzhou Prefecture immediately dismissed the officers in the battalion, handed over the military flag, and the regiment training camps dispersed the supplementary battalion with the worst military pay. With such a thunderous handling, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys. All the battalions immediately did not dare to make trouble again, and they all honestly followed the military orders.

A few young officers also lowered their voices and talked about the bonfire in the middle of the three battalions.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Mr. Chen is too nervous?"

"No matter how nervous you are, you still need to have a way to go!"

"If he had to spend several nights in a row, his morale would collapse before the bandits could take action."

"The navy deliberately preserves its strength, and he can't use the regiment to spend it like this."

"Brother Zuo, how many people do you think you will have tonight for the night?"

Zuo Nianyuan shook his head and said nothing. He guessed that the number was probably extremely terrifying. In the past few days, Guangzhou Prefecture has recruited many strong men. Among these new officers, many of them are his juniors. In the eyes of these young and passionate scholars, Zuo Nianyuan has been a Confucian general who has been in battle for a long time. He asked questions all day long, but Zuo Nianyuan had to deal with it patiently, but he knew in his heart that he had never seen blood. He died in front of him after having classmates and friends, and said nothing in vain. Invisibly, Zuo Nianyuan had a distance from these juniors, but this sense of distance made Zuo Nianyuan feel more mysterious. He narrowed his eyes, ignored the speculations of these people around him, and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

In the southwest direction, just in the upper reaches of the Pearl River, a fire suddenly appeared.

After a moment, the fire became more and more obvious, almost reflecting the sky red.

This is by no means a normal bonfire can reflect, "Night attack? No, it's a fire attack!"

This thought appeared in Zuo Nianyuan's mind like lightning. He suddenly stood up and looked to the south. The city wall blocked his sight. Zuo Nianyuan could not see the scene on the Pearl River, but heard louder and louder screams. The noise began to come from the city of Hanhai City. At this time, everyone realized that a major change had occurred. The officers hurried back to their respective camps, restraining the soldiers while waiting for the confirmed news uneasy.

Sure enough, shortly after the fire was booming, a flag official came over on horseback and shouted the order.

"The prefecture has a decree. The South China Sea navy is in charge of fire to attack the bandits. Each battalion is strictly guarded. Those who do not obey the military orders! Those who are noisy and confusing the crowd are killed! Those who are running and rushing. The officers and soldiers are in charge of the orders at any time and beware of the bandits attacking the city at night! The prefecture has a decree. The South China Sea navy is in charge of fire to attack the bandits. All battalions are strictly guarded." The flag-plaque official waved the order flag and shouted the order loudly, and gradually went far away!

"Fire Attack?!" "The navy is attack!" Many people whispered in a low voice, their eyes full of excitement.

At the top of the city of defense, the sound of gunfire exploded. The gunners took the initiative and fired the artillery and cooperated with the navy to attack the bandits.

One, two, and three shells cut through the night sky and flew towards the chaotic Western Australia Pier, adding to the chaos among the pirates.
