Splash! Splash!
The Adjutant of General Nan was thoroughly speechless when he saw the front formation was completely obliterated. Not only that, many of their soldiers died or thrown out of the ships. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Tell him, what the hell did they do?
"It's just burning arrow! What are you…Whoa!"
As the ships he led got closer to the front, he realized that the arrow reacted more violently to the water. Because of the large amount of oil that Long Qian Xing smeared to the cloths, this caused the oil to be practically dripping.
When it landed on the water, the water naturally reacted.
The adjutant was stunned but then he realized that it was because of this reaction that caused the people at the front to be caught off guard. He was more worried about General Nan, though.
The general's ship was already overturned by now.
"We have to…"
Bang! Clang! Clang!
Looking at the back, the adjutant was so stunned that he didn't know what to do. There were soldiers appearing on their ships and attacking the soldiers under him so violently that many of them died directly.
"Those at the front, attack! The rest, defend!"
"Yes!"
The adjutant had quite a lot of experience, so he could quickly give order. He took his spear and rushed to the back, wanting to deal with the intruders.
Swish! Slash!
Long Xu was the one Long Qian Xing ordered to give direct ambush. He had been waiting and when he saw the signal, he knew that it was time for him to step forward and begun to attack.
His eyes narrowed when he saw the adjutant getting closer.
"Kill as many as possible."
"Yes!"
They might not be used to fight on a swaying ground like this, but it didn't mean that they couldn't adapt. Not to mention, the ships were all trying to maintain distance from the soldiers who were crossing the rivers.
It meant that they had released their anchor to keep their ships steady.
At the very least, this allowed them to have better fighting capabilities compared to having to fight on the moving ships.
"Kill!" Long Xu shouted.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the soldiers engaged in battle, Long Qian Xing was standing at the river banks. He watched as Lou and the soldiers under him killed those deserters who landed on this side of the river.
Not a single one was spared.
'I really don't like this position as the controller at the back.'
Long Qian Xing had to admit that he liked to be involved in the battle directly rather than giving order from this distance like this. It was not like he really wanted to be at the forefront all the time, but it was because he was not used to do this.
Not doing anything but watch…
It was really not his style.
'I guess occasionally is fine since it can bring to victory.'
But next time, Long Qian Xing would just charge forward and deal with the enemies in front of him with his sword. That sounds much better for him.
Anyway, this small trick wouldn't work twice. He was sure that the soldiers would be more prepared for the violent reaction when the water and oil mixed next time. Anyway, it was good enough that the ships were wet and thus, the oil could react well with the water both on the ship and on the sea.
It was just that the degree of reactions was different.
Uh…
It was not really the time for physics lesson.
Splash! Splash!
Turning his head, Long Qian Xing noticed that his father had finally reached the other side of the river banks.
He smirked.
