Zhen Jian shot another arrow, and when the oil pot was about to fall on the top of the general's head, he successfully shot the oil pot, and the oil was shot everywhere, and it was also ignited by the fire arrow, like a bomb exploding, the fire exploded, and the general and his guards were instantly wrapped in flames, became fire people, and rolled all over the ground for help.
"Good!"
The soldiers on the pontoon bridge shouted with joy again, and their morale rose to the extreme.
There are not many enemy troops attacking this time, only 3,000 people, although the flames on the pontoon bridge are everywhere, but the logistics of the Chu army work together, as soon as the fire starts, they will immediately put out the fire, and they will not let the flames burn at all, those Hun soldiers see that they have never been able to let the pontoon bridge burn, they are very discouraged, and two thousand commanders in a row are dead, and the only thousand commanders dare not go to the bow of the ship to command the battle, and the whole scene is chaotic.
Now almost all the boats have been ignited, they have nowhere to escape, many Huns disarmed and jumped into the river, but most of the Huns do not know how to swim, even if they are the Huns' sailors, barely able to swim, it is impossible to swim in the mighty Han River, and jumping down is also a life and death.
Zhen Jian kept shooting, and when he saw those wearing bronze armor, he gave priority to shooting, because some veterans told him that those wearing copper armor were the centurions of the Huns, and the two silver-armored generals he shot before were thousands.
The battle lasted until sunset, and finally stopped, the three thousand Hun sailors were annihilated, and the Huns in the rear saw that they could not do anything, and they retreated to their naval camps, and the whole army of Xiangfan and the two cities cheered and was excited.
Although the sun has set, there is still a fire on the river, and those boats are still burning, next, the people from the military camp area in Zhen Jian will go back to the camp to rest and recuperate, and the people from the southern military camp area are responsible for cleaning the battlefield.
Zhen Jian's return to the camp was really praised by everyone, and the people in the entire Chinese military camp regarded him as a big hero, listing Zhen Jian's exploits today, shooting and killing nearly 100 enemy soldiers, including two thousand-commanders, eight centurions, and a number of soldiers.
Everyone wanted to celebrate the victory, but Qin Xueyang didn't allow it, and ordered them to rest immediately, who knows when the next big battle will come, as the first reinforcement army in Fancheng, they must recuperate and be ready to rush to any place at any time.
Early the next morning, Lei Yao issued a military order, promoted Zhen Jian to the deputy commander of the Chinese military barracks, to assist Qin Xueyang in managing the Chinese army, all the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army were overjoyed, although the five military regions are under the jurisdiction of Fancheng, but there is also a comparison between the major military regions, Zhen Jianjian made great achievements, promoted to deputy commander, for their military camp chief face, although everyone envied Zhen Jian, but not jealous, in Xiangfan, all soldiers have a consciousness, that is: if you have military merits, you have to be promoted, this is the truth, whoever wants to be an officer, kill more enemies and make more meritorious contributions, And Zhen Jian has used his strength to prove that he is a young hero with both wisdom and bravery, and no one dares to envy him.
The four major military districts were all responsible for the defense of the city walls and pontoon bridges, while the Chinese military barracks were responsible for patrolling the whole city.
At present, the enemy army has not attacked the city, the city is still stable, most of the people in the Chinese military camp area have gone out to inspect the whole city, Zhen Jian has nothing to do for the time being, practicing archery at the shooting range, although two accurate shots yesterday killed two Hun commanders, but at that time he may be in a better state, and in the subsequent shooting, he did not shoot accurately a few times, the main reason is that he is not familiar with this strong bow with two stones and three buckets, every good archer has his own special bow, why use a special bow, because familiar, Holding it in his hand is like a part of his body, using it like a finger, coupled with accurate archery, he can hit every shot, and he is not only practicing archery now, but also familiar with this strong bow.
After practicing for an hour, a soldier came to report, Wang Guang begged to see him, and waited in the reception room.
Zhen Jian stopped practicing arrows, turned around and went to the reception room to see Wang Guang, came to the reception room, the two met and hugged their fists and saluted, and then sat down, Wang Guang smiled and said: "Congratulations, you mentioned the position of deputy commander at once." ” Zhen Jian was not modest, and said with a light smile: "You are definitely not here just to congratulate me." ” Wang Guang let out a long sigh and said slowly: "At the beginning, you asked me to come back, saying that I could personally go into battle to kill the enemy, but now it's good, Lei Zhenfu envoy treats me as a distinguished guest, I can't even enter the barracks, I live in the post station, what is this called." ” Zhen Jian was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Then you have to go to General Lei and ask him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." ” "I've visited him."
Wang Guang shook his head and sighed bitterly, "General Lei said that we are the emperor's guards, and after the war, we must go back to communicate with the emperor, and we must not be damaged, and I don't plan to let us participate in the war at all." ” "Is that so?"
Zhen Jian frowned and groaned for a moment when he heard this, then got up and said, "I'll go to General Lei immediately, and you go back to the post station to wait for my news." ” "Thank you."
Wang Guang got up and clenched his fists, and said solemnly, "Please want General Lei to convey my determination to serve the country, Wang finally had such an opportunity to come to Fancheng, and I must let General Lei give me a chance." ” Zhen Jian clasped his fists and nodded: "Don't worry, I will do my best." ” Zhen Jian said that he walked out of the reception room with Wang Guang, and then walked out of the barracks together, Wang Guang returned to the post station, and Zhen Jian went to the general's mansion.
However, Lei Yao was not in the mansion and went to patrol the city, Zhen Jian could only ask around for someone to inquire, and finally found Lei Yao on the wall of the north city gate, Lei Yao was instructing the commander of the Northern Army on the deployment of defense, and asked him to be more restrained in military discipline during the war, and all violations of military discipline were strictly prohibited.
Zhen Jian waited patiently on the side, and finally waited until Lei Jian finished speaking, Zhen Jian talked to Lei Yao, Lei Yao is an expert in fighting, but when it comes to the argument of the tongue, he can't even compare with the tip of Zhen Jian's tongue, Zhen Jian persuaded him with some words, Lei Yao finally agreed to temporarily integrate Wang Guang's two hundred Royal Forest Army into the Chinese military camp area, designated as the Diqiu Battalion, and Wang Guang served as the camp envoy.
Even if Zhen Jiandang went to the post station to inform Wang Guang and lead the Imperial Forest Army to enter the Chinese army, Zhen Jian would take care of all the formalities.
After two days peacefully, on the night of the third day, the moonlight was dim, only the city walls of Xiangfan and Fan had some firelight, in the camp of the Hun naval army, five hundred Hun dead soldiers wore dark cloth clothes and stood on the riverside wharf, each person in addition to carrying their own weapons, but also with three "囫曛", this is the special product of the steppe nomads, in fact, the sheepskin is completely taken off as if taking off clothes, such sheepskin, only the neck, tail, four hooves of these parts have holes, as long as these holes are sewn on, you can hold wine, And when encountering the river, you can blow air into it, cross the river when encountering water, it is very convenient, when the Huns are in the grassland, each warrior must bring several eunuchs, which is very useful, and tonight, the task of these five hundred dead soldiers is to take the lantern to attack the pontoon bridge, each of them carries three eunuchs, one of them is filled with gas, and the other two are filled with fire oil, and their arms are filled with fire folds tightly wrapped in oil paper.
The commander of the Hun Naval Army, Borchi, looked at these dead soldiers in front of him, he was a little excited, and said in a deep voice: "The two cities of Xiangfan have hindered us for 80 years, why do the cowardly Chu people occupy the great Jiangnan, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains should belong to the strong, and we Huns are the strongest race in the world!"
” According to the normal situation, there should be people cheering, but not at this moment, because they are going to make a surprise attack today, so they can't make any big moves, in case there are scouts of the Chu people nearby, Bolchi continued: "The pontoon bridge between the two cities of Xiangfan must be destroyed, tonight, you five hundred warriors have a heavy burden on your shoulders, remember that you can die, but the pontoon bridge must be destroyed!"
Serve!
” Countless soldiers in the rear brought many wine bowls on trays, one bowl for each of the five hundred dead soldiers, and finally, Borchi also picked up a wine bowl, held it high, and said: "Borchi respects all the warriors!"
Dry!
After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl.
The five hundred dead soldiers were silent, they all picked up the wine bowls, raised their heads and drank the wine dry, and the soldiers in the rear stepped forward to take the wine bowls away, and Bol waved his bare hands: "Let's go!"
” The five hundred dead men silently saluted, but with their own embarrassments, they jumped into the Han River one after another, drifting down the river, Borchi boarded the warship through the gangplank, looked in the direction of Xiangfan, and waited for the battle to ignite on the pontoon.
The 500 dead soldiers of the Huns floated down the river all the way, and after half an hour, they gradually approached the pontoon bridge, and there were patrols on the pontoon bridge, and the patrol soldiers added up to more than 20 people.
However, it was dark all around, and it was even darker above the river, and the dead soldiers of the Huns had quietly come to the bottom of the pontoon bridge, holding the wooden boats under the bridge, and fixed their bodies, and the patrolmen above walked over it, and they did not find them.
The dead soldiers of the Huns did not rush to launch, but waited for everyone to arrive and shoot together, even if they were discovered, five hundred people would set fire together, and it would be too late to put out the fire.
After waiting for half a pillar of incense, all the dead soldiers went to the pontoon bridge, and these Hun dead soldiers pierced the coffin filled with fire oil with knives, and poured the fire oil into the wooden boats, which were the piers of the pontoon bridge, and if there was a fire, the flames would directly scorch the bridge plate above, and it was difficult to extinguish.
After pouring oil into each wooden boat, they did not immediately light a fire, but took advantage of the fact that the patrol guards on the bridge were not looking, secretly climbed onto the bridge, and then pierced the barrel containing the oil and sprinkled the pontoon with oil everywhere.
At this time, a patrol soldier exclaimed: "What a person!
” Then came the exclamation: "There is an enemy attack!"
There is an enemy attack!
” As soon as this sound came out, the lights of the city on both sides were instantly bright, and the generals at the city head shouted to open the city gate, and countless soldiers rushed towards the pontoon bridge.
And on the pontoon bridge, the Huns have taken out the fire fold in the oil paper bag, is blowing the fire fold, seeing the Chu army coming, they have used the fire fold to ignite the fire oil on the bridge deck, instantly, there seems to be a fire dragon on the river, the entire suspension bridge is almost all on fire, the fire lights illuminate the entire river surface, the soldiers of the two cities of Xiangfan have exclaimed: "The Huns have burned the pontoon bridge!"
Trumpet!
Beat the drums!
” "Whew-" "Knock Knock Knock ......"
The sound of trumpets and drums sounded at the same time, and those Hun dead soldiers threw the fire into the wooden boats under the bridge, and the wooden boats at the bottom of the bridge also instantly ignited a fire, scorching the bridge plate above.
After these Xiongnu dead soldiers succeeded, they rushed to both sides of the pontoon bridge, brandishing weapons to block the Chu army and delay their time to put out the fire.

Nearly ten miles away in the distance, at the bow of the Hun warship, the commander of the navy, Borchi, saw that a fire dragon suddenly appeared on the river, and instantly laughed, and waited for half a pillar of incense, but did not see the fire extinguished, he shouted happily: "Come on, quickly pass the good news to the Marshal of Valshu, the pontoon bridge of the Chu people has been destroyed!"
Siege ready at any time!
” "Yes!"
A herald immediately set off with the flag held high, disembarked and mounted his horse, and galloped away.
