Chapter 201: Burning the Camps, Navy and Land Battle

A sharp whistle broke the silence of the Daxin Dynasty Navy Camp in the early morning.

On the wooden walls outside the camp, countless sleepy navy soldiers were awakened from their morning dreams by the screams of "enemy attack".

Opening his eyes and looking carefully, countless warships with "Wu" flags hanging on the waters outside the navy camp have surrounded the navy camp.

"Quick, report to the prince, and say that Wu Sanjia, the commander of the Hu Ben New Army, is leading the navy to attack. Please make a quick decision, prince!"

"The rest of you, close the camp gate immediately and prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

On the wooden walls of the navy camp, the navy commander on duty was awakened by the sound of enemy attacks one after another, and rushed to the wall to issue orders and command the officers and soldiers on duty of the Daxin Navy to meet the enemy.

However, Wu Sanjia, who was in the waters outside the camp, did not rush to attack the city, but directly ordered to burn the warships of the Daxin Navy anchored in the waters.

Wu Sanjia stood proudly on the bow and shouted: "All the navy generals, listen to my order, fire rockets for me, and burn all the warships of the navy rebels!"

"I have received the order!"

He Kang, the deputy general of the Huben Navy, immediately took the order and left.

On the warships of the Huben Navy, the archers who had been prepared for a long time, with arrows lit with fierce fire oil in their hands, aimed at the warships connected in the waters.

As long as the general gave an order, the warships of the Daxin Navy could be shot into "fire hedgehogs".

"Bowmen, target the enemy warships, prepare for fire attack!"

"Fire!"

With the order of He Kang, the deputy general of the Huben Navy, the prelude to the fire attack was officially kicked off.

I saw rockets streaking through the sky, with blazing flames and shrill sounds, mercilessly smashing towards the warships of the Daxin Navy anchored in the waters outside the city in the Navy Camp.

After the rockets in the sky drew a series of sad and beautiful arcs in the air, they fell on the warships of the Daxin Navy with incomparable accuracy, instantly igniting the canvas and wood on the warships.

Because there was no combat mission, there were no naval officers and soldiers stationed day and night on the warships of the Daxin Navy anchored in the waters outside the camp. Only a few naval officers and soldiers responsible for the daily maintenance of the warships stayed on the warships.

It was not until the rockets of the Huben Navy set the warships on fire that the Daxin Navy officers and soldiers who were still sleeping on the warships woke up from their dreams.

When they rushed out of the crew cabin naked and rushed to the deck, they found that all the warships anchored at the dock were set on fire by rockets.

The fire rose with the wind and continued to spread.

"Quick, quickly loosen the ropes connecting the warships, and immediately drive away the warships that have not caught fire!"

"The rest of you, put out the fire quickly!"

"Beat the drums and blow the horns, and ask for reinforcements from the navy in the camp!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

On the warships, the officers and soldiers of the Daxin Navy who stayed behind began to cry, and watched the fire on the river surface getting more and more fierce with horror.

They tried to put out the flames on the warships with buckets and wet clothes.

However, the arrows shot at the warships of the Daxin Navy were all doused with fierce fire oil. With the help of the river wind, the fire had already spread to the point where human power could not put it out.

No matter how hard these naval officers and soldiers who stayed behind on the warships tried, it was in vain.

What's more fatal is that the warships of the Daxin Navy anchored outside the dock are all connected together with ropes, which is quite similar to the meaning of Prime Minister Cao connecting the warships with iron chains before the burning of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms period.

This gave Wu Sanjia's Hu Ben Navy an opportunity to take advantage of.

Under round after round of rocket attacks, the power of the Hu Ben Navy's fire attack was gradually revealed. In the flames that shot up into the sky, the warships of the Daxin Navy anchored at the dock were engulfed by the fire one after another until they sank into the river.

On the surface of the river, there were floating wooden boards scorched by the fire and incomplete battle flags, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Daxin Navy who jumped into the water to escape, and their painful wails.

The fire was so big that even the officers and soldiers on duty on the walls of the Daxin Navy camp felt the scorching heat of the hot waves.

Faced with such a tragic situation, the officers and soldiers of the Daxin Navy on duty on the walls could only sigh and sigh at the fire, and were helpless.

At the bow of the Hu Ben Navy fleet, General Wu Sanjia stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the deck of the bow and admiring his masterpiece.

After burning Fang Tianyao's warships, this operation to welcome back the emperor was more than half successful.

Before the war, Wu Sanjia knew that the hastily trained Hu Ben Navy was definitely not as good as the experienced Daxin Dynasty Navy in naval warfare;

In terms of the equipment of warships, the fleet warships that the Hu Ben New Army put together temporarily, whether in size or equipped with close combat weapons, could not match Fang Tianyao's navy.

Wu Sanjia, who was well versed in the art of war, could not do things that used his own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

That was why he formulated a strategy to defend against the enemy by going south along the Yangtze River under the cover of night and then attacking the enemy's warships with fire.

After burning all of Fang Tianyao's warships, the next step was nothing more than the Hu Ben Navy landing and attacking the Daxin Navy's camp.

Land warfare was the strong point of Wu Sanjia and his Hu Ben Navy soldiers.

On the water, Wu Sanjia was not sure that he could defeat Fang Tianyao, who was born as a pirate.

But if they were to fight on land, Wu Sanjia, the top martial arts champion of Daxin, could beat Fang Tianyao to a pulp with just one arm.

Seeing that most of the ships of the Daxin navy had been burned in the fire attack.

Wu Sanjia finally issued another order: "Pass on this general's order, all the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Navy, prepare to disembark and fight, and attack the enemy's navy camp!"

"I have received the order!"

......

At the same time, in the navy camp.

Fang Tianyao, the Four Seas King of the Great Xin Dynasty, was forcibly awakened by his deputy general from the gentle embrace of two young women.

Originally, Fang Tianyao, who was disturbed from his sweet dreams and morning exercises, was about to get angry with his deputy general.

However, when he learned from the deputy general that Wu Sanjia had led his troops south along the river and approached the navy camp, it was like a basin of cold water, which made Fang Tianyao, the Four Seas King, sober instantly.

Even without even bothering to put on his outer armor, he rode his horse to the wall of the navy camp wearing only his underwear.

When Fang Tianyao arrived at the wall, he happened to see Wu Sanjia burning the camp and all his warships in the waters outside the city.

Fang Tianyao lost consciousness instantly and collapsed.

Fortunately, the deputy general beside him was quick to support him and prevent him from falling.

Fang Tianyao muttered to himself in despair: "It's over, it's all over. From today on, there will be no more Daxin Navy!"

"Report--"

"Your Highness, the warships of the Tiger Guard Army outside the city are docking at the dock. It seems that they are preparing to attack the Navy camp. Please make a quick decision, Your Highness!"
