The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Zhou Mengyan screamed so loudly it was as if his parents had died.

Zhang Shi, however, remained completely unperturbed.

Judging from the speed of Wu Xingzhou's twenty-odd small boats and the speed at which the fire spread, even if Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan immediately began to rescue them, it would be too late to save them; at most, he could only reduce the losses.

The Duke's army must be following behind.

Ruan Fei panicked.

"Oh no, I was so focused on getting out that I forgot to put the medicine in my mouth..."

"Don't rush!" Zhang Shi tried to stall for time, saying, "Go and stop the Grand Commander now. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we'll be fine!"

"OK!"

Ruan Fei agreed and ran towards Zhou Mengyan. When she was still some distance away, she shouted, "Nightmare Brother, don't be nervous, this is just a celebration..."

"Once General Wu Xingzhou arrives, everything will be much easier..."

"Celebrate your mother!" Zhou Mengyan roared at Ruan Fei, a rare outburst that echoed through the sky. Seeing Ruan Fei trying to stop him, he waved his hand and ordered, "Pull her aside!"

Zhou Mengyan ultimately softened towards Ruan Fei. Even at this critical moment, he still showed her mercy and was unwilling to harm her in the slightest.

The guards on deck naturally listened to Zhou Mengyan more and immediately stopped Ruan Fei and pulled her away, but even after being pulled away, Ruan Fei was still screaming in agony.

"Nightmare Brother, please don't do anything reckless!"

"A tremendous opportunity is right in front of you. If you act recklessly, disrupt the morale of the army, and ruin this great victory, you will be a sinner against Yunjing..."

Ruan Fei also had a loud voice, and her shouts were deafening, which made Zhou Mengyan's anger even more intense. However, he could not vent his anger on Ruan Fei, so he took three steps at a time to Zhang Shi.

If looks could kill, then Zhang Shi would have been killed a thousand times, ten thousand times by Zhou Mengyan.

"Zhang Shi, you and Ren Tianye actually staged a self-inflicted injury!"

Zhang Shi shrugged, showing no fear whatsoever.

He glanced at the fire again, and under the protection of his personal guards, he retreated safely.

Zhou Mengyan intended to keep Zhang Shi, but the raging fire was so close that if it wasn't dealt with soon, this magnificent navy would be reduced to ashes in an instant!

This is the culmination of his many years of hard work!

It was with his wife's help that he gradually built up this powerful online army!

Zhou Mengyan was able to distinguish between what was more important and what was less important.

Gritting his teeth, he could only rally everyone and coldly issue the order: "Where's the small boat?"

"Launch the small boats immediately and use them to block the enemy outside. We must not let the fire reach us!"

As the Grand Admiral of the Navy, Zhou Mengyan had no problem with basic military knowledge and could handle the situation without issue. However, after he said this, the soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's wrong?"

"Can't you hear me?"

"Lower the small boat to block the fire!"

Only then did someone reply, "Grand-General, there are no small boats!"

"What?" Zhou Mengyan's body stiffened. "No small boats? You didn't even bring small boats with you for troop deployment? What are you doing?"

Before they could finish speaking, Wu Xingzhou's twenty-odd boats had arrived. Wu Xingzhou, who was on one of the boats, could have simply jumped into the water and swam backward to find Ren Tianye's main force.

But Wu Xingzhou gave even more gifts.

On his twenty-odd small boats, soldiers, each holding a bow and arrow, lit them, and rockets shot out with a "whoosh!" "whoosh!"

The rocket had clearly been treated, either by pouring kerosene on it or coating it with grease. In the wind, the fire actually grew bigger, and at such a close distance, it was impossible for it to miss!

In an instant, rockets rained down.

Flames suddenly erupted on Zhou Mengyan's interconnected boats.

"Fire! Fire!"

Zhou Mengyan shouted, and the next moment, Wu Xingzhou jumped into the water. More than twenty small boats, billowing in the wind, rushed in with a surging momentum.

As the rocket struck the connected ships, the small fires ignited by the rocket found their accomplices, and together they created a raging, unstoppable fire!

Before Zhou Mengyan's soldiers could extinguish the rockets, they were struck by more than twenty small boats carrying embers. With the help of the north wind, the fire spread throughout the entire navy in an instant.

Zhou Mengyan was terrified.

At this point, even if his abilities weren't outstanding, and even a seasoned naval general like Zhou Buzhang were faced with this situation, it would be of no use!

Watching the raging fire burn relentlessly, and seeing many soldiers wail and scream after being ignited by the flames, Zhou Mengyan's heart bled.

He shouted again, "Scatter!"

"Everyone, disperse!"

"Spread out the boats, big and small!"

"Don't gather together!"

It was another military order, but just like the previous one.

After the message was sent out, all the soldiers looked utterly devastated.

"What's wrong?"

"Scatter quickly!"

The soldier then said, "General, the ships, large and small, are chained together; how can they be separated in such a short time?"

Zhou Mengyan's expression changed drastically: "What?!"
