Chapter 896: The Destruction of the Navy
"Who else?"

"Don't waste time, all of you come together!"

After clearing out the first warship approaching the watergate, Su Yao looked around and shouted eagerly.

The pirates on the other warships were all terrified when they saw this. The sailors who were paddling hard to get closer all stopped what they were doing and looked dumbfounded.

"Arrogant, too arrogant!"

Seeing this scene, Le Jue gritted his teeth but could do nothing.

Such force was beyond his imagination. However, no matter how strong the military orders were or how fierce the fire was behind him, he had no way out and had to break through here.

Therefore, he had no choice but to continue commanding, trying to drown Su Yao with a sea of ​​people and a rain of arrows:
"Brothers, don't be afraid! Shoot him, he is just one man, let's fight together and kill him!"

Under Le Jue's command, several surrounding warships suddenly shot arrows together. For a moment, arrows rained down like locusts, densely shooting towards the warship where Su Yao was.

I have to say, he played this move really well.

After all, Su Yao swam here and was not wearing heavy armor. If he was really shot hard, his life would be over.

However, Su Yao also has his own way to deal with this.

Facing the rain of arrows, Su Yao sneered, then turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Behind him, arrows hit the deck, but they could not catch up with Su Yao's footsteps.

He leaped up onto the wall of the village, turned over and hid in the gate tower, disappearing from sight.

This left the besiegers stunned and they were in a dilemma.

They don't have time to waste here leisurely. Now there are more than a hundred warships blocking the door. If the passage is not opened, they will be burned to death by the spreading fire sooner or later.

Out of desperation, Yue ordered the entire army to press forward, besiege the water gate again, regain control of the ships at the gate, and ram the village gate while strictly ordering archers to keep an eye on the passages on both sides of the gate tower and shoot indiscriminately if they spotted any human figures.

However, Su Yao soon repeated the same trick.

Although the archers watched the two sides of the gate tower closely, the floor design of the gate tower, whether it was the city gate or the water fort, was not completely sealed.

In order to deal with enemies who might break in, there would be an opening in the floor of the gate tower for throwing stones, kerosene, gold, etc.

Although the hole is not big, it is not a problem for one person to jump in.

As a result, the following battle became very simple and boring.

Su Yao launched continuous attacks from this gap, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle over the warship blocking the water gate.

Every time Yuan Shu's army sent people to board the ship and started to ram the door, Su Yao would descend from the sky like a ghost, holding two swords and slashing from the bow to the stern.

After basically eliminating the enemy, he immediately retreated calmly, leaving behind only an empty ship with a river of blood and countless corpses.

After this happened several times, the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army who boarded the ship were already terrified. Every time they boarded the ship, it was like stepping into the gates of hell. They didn't know when the devil-like Su Yao would jump down from above their heads and reap their lives.

Le watched as the warships were thrown into chaos by Su Yao and became extremely anxious.

He looked at the tightly closed water gate, and then at the fire spreading behind him. The thick smoke had begun to make people cough. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, illuminating half the sky, and the water around the warship was dyed red by the flames.

"No, this can't go on!" Le Jue roared in his heart. He glanced at his soldiers and suddenly his eyes lit up. He found several burly soldiers holding large shields. "You guys, take your large shields, form a shield wall, and force your way onto the ship! The rest of you follow behind. Once you get close to the side of the ship, rush up immediately. Control the warship at all costs and break open the water gate!" Le Jue shouted at the top of his lungs.

The shield-bearing soldiers took the order, took a deep breath, held their shields tightly in front of them, and slowly approached the target warship. The soldiers of Yuan Shu's army behind them also mustered up their courage and followed closely behind the shield wall, rushing in like a tide.

Su Yao was on the gate tower, and he had a panoramic view of all this. He snorted coldly, "It's just a trifle." Then he squatted down and found a few barrels of kerosene in the corner of the gate tower. The kerosene was originally used by the water fort to defend against fire attacks by foreign enemies, but now it became Su Yao's weapon.

He laboriously moved a barrel of kerosene to the gap, and tilted it suddenly. The kerosene poured down like a black ribbon, pouring on the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army who were climbing onto the boat. Then, Su Yao took out a fire starter, lit a torch, and threw it down without hesitation. With a loud "bang", the flames rose instantly, turning the area into a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

The soldiers who were doused with kerosene screamed in agony and jumped into the water, trying to put out the flames on their bodies. However, the fire was so fierce that many people gradually died in pain.

Le Jue saw this scene and was so angry that his face turned red. He slashed the side of the boat beside him with the long knife in his hand: "Su Yao, I can't coexist with you!"

However, no matter how loud the harsh words are, it is useless if you can't get it.

The blazing warship at the water gate told everyone clearly that General Su Yao was just teasing them, and they had plenty of ways and means to stop their escape.

As a result, the navy soldiers were completely out of options and in despair no longer listened to Le Jiu's orders.

Staying here means death, and the only chance of survival is to escape back to the shore.

"Run, run!"

"If you don't leave now, you'll be burned to death!"

Amidst the panic shouting, the naval officers and soldiers besieging the East Gate turned their boats around and rowed towards the south shore desperately.

Le stood at the bow, watching his subordinates flee in all directions, his heart chilled.

The situation is over, the situation is over.

"General Su Yao blocked hundreds of our ships by himself. Alas!"

With a long sigh, Le stopped struggling and let the sailors do what they wanted and was led to flee.

At the same time, the fire attack fleet led by Taishi Ci had completely destroyed the defenses on the west side of the water fort, and the raging fire illuminated half of the sky red.

Guan Yu's main fleet also took the opportunity to move forward, forming a pincer attack with Taishi Ci's troops.

Yuan Shu's navy was defeated by the double-sided attack, and the warships were either set on fire or captured in despair.

Liang Gang stood on the high platform of the South Gate, looking at the chaos before him, feeling hopeless.

He understood that the navy's annihilation was inevitable, and without the navy's support, their hasty deployment on the south bank would be unable to stop the attack of Su Yao's army.

The fall of the water fort was inevitable.

"Governor, what should we do?" asked the soldier beside him in a trembling voice.

Liang Gang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Pass the order down, the entire army retreats! Get out of the battlefield as soon as possible before the enemy soldiers land, and everyone returns to Shouchun to assist in the city defense!"

Liang Gang's order immediately made the surrounding soldiers feel as if they had been pardoned. They no longer cared about the friendly troops still floating on the water, and immediately changed their formation, with the rear team becoming the front team and began to run away.

However, Su Yao obviously would not let them run so smoothly.

"It's bad, Governor!"

"Someone is coming to kill us!"

"It's General Su Yao!"

"what?!"

Liang Gangmeng turned around while retreating and saw a figure in a red robe riding a white horse standing out in the firelight on the shore.
