Hundreds of Cima Boats that were drenched in alchemical fire oil joined together on the river surface, forming a row. They were like two fire dragons that charged right at the Liu Bei Army, unable to be stopped.

Liu Bei and the others were sweating.

”The people on the boats were obviously shot to death, so how are they proceeding forward?” Zhuge Liang was filled with doubt.

One must know that this time, there was no wind on the river surface.

The enemy had used a weird method to make the clever Zhuge Liang lost; he had no method to counter it. He could only watch on as the boats in flames swiftly closed in and knocked into their warships.

As the ships knocked into one another, the fire spread and stretched for miles.

The Cima Boats were like a giant fire dragon, wrapping up into a bundle and swallowing up the Liu Bei Army. The entire river became a huge oil pot and the tens of thousands of Liu Bei troops were the main dish.

The situation had reached its crucial point.

”We cannot hesitate any longer, Zi Long, cover him as the Lord goes up to shore!”

”Understood!”

The white-robbed Zhao Zi Long was a courageous person but even he could not survive a sea of fire.

”Advisor, leave with us!”

With Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei would have a chance to rise once more. Without him, everything would be lost.

”That's right. Advisor, let's go together!”

Out of all the generals in the Liu Bei Organization, Zhao Yun respected him the most.

Sigh!

Zhuge Liang sighed and agreed bitterly. Zhuge Liang was not a person that was afraid of death, but he did not want to die on this river, nameless.

On the other hand, Zhang Fei volunteered to stay behind to be in charge of protecting them as they left.

”Third brother…” Tears welled up in Liu Bei's eyes, ”Take care!”

”Go first Big Brother, I'll be there soon!” Zhang Fei smiled in a casual manner.

Taking the chance that the fire had not spread to the middle troops, the flagship placed down numerous small boats to bring Liu Bei and the others to swiftly retreat toward the west coast of Changjiang.

In just a short while, the fire grew stronger and thousands of soldiers were buried in the sea of fire, crying out in pain.

When Liu Bei saw this scene, tears streamed down his face.

”I've failed them!” Liu Bei cried out in pain.

On Dragon Head, Jia Xu looked out at the burning Han River with a complicated expression.

This was revenge.

If the Lord knew about this, he would probably laugh out loud! Jia Xu thought.

Jia Xu pointed toward the center region of the enemy and said, ”Admiral, Liu Bei is escaping!”

”Do not worry mister!”

Zheng He laughed and waved a flag.

At the same time, on the many Mengchong Warships docked on the shore, hundreds of specially made boards were placed down onto the shore. The 1st division of the City Protection Legion that had been waiting for such a long time under the leadership of Zhao Si Hu stepped onto the boards and quickly disembarked, getting ready to chase the enemy.

At the same time, the cannons on both sides sounded out. The attacks of the cannons dealt even more damage to the enemy.

Looking at the situation, they were going all out to kill them, not giving them a single chance to survive.

Before the battle began, the Lord had said that the main goal was to eradicate the enemy. Capturing their generals would be a bonus; if they could catch them, they definitely must not let them escape.

Zheng He's actions precisely followed Ouyang Shuo's instructions.

...

Among the Liu Bei Army, seeing the enemy wanting to go ashore to kill their Lord, Zhang Fei, who was in charge of covering for them, was furious, ”Kill them!”

Zhang Fei ordered his troops to charge at the warships that were firing at them.

”Even if we die, we must drag them down with us!” Zhang Fei was filled with killing intent. Most importantly, he just needed to cover his brother's escape.

Many warships that were already on fire charged at the Shanhai City Squadron. However, they were already on fire and their sails were already burned.

They could only use paddles, but the paddles had also suffered heavy damage under the cannon. Less than 30% of the paddles could be used. Even the soldiers in charge of them had suffered heavy casualties.

Hence, Zhang Fei was panicking, but his warships crawled forward like a turtle. Some of the warships could not even move and just stayed stunned on the river surface; it was like they were waiting to be destroyed.

Seeing that the enemy wanted to give their all to try and fight them, Zheng He naturally would not stay still.

The warships at the front became the main focus of the Shanhai City Squadron.

Hundreds and thousands of cannon balls flew over. Along with an arrow rain, they caused the warships at the front to fall even before they reached the middle of the water path.

The warships that followed behind faced a similar fate.

Even if there were one or two warships that managed to charge in front of the Shanhai City Squadron, they were unable to proceed any further. The frogmen hiding below were obviously alert and chiseled the boats.

Unavoidably, some of them would be smacked by cannonballs and die.

War was just so cruel. Even when they had full control over the battlefield, they still needed to make some sacrifices to increase their rewards.

The 'fire ships' that could truly do damage to them were incredibly rare.
