The other people's faces were full of confusion, and only Li Sanliang was the first to react. He looked at the confused expression of everyone, and explained: "The commander Yun means using rockets! Our biggest advantage over them is that we can each of them get a crossbow at that time, so when the other ship has not yet engaged in blade battles side by side with our ship, you can use crossbow arrows to attack."

"If I'm right, Commander Yun plans to turn the rag into a rag, tie it to an arrow, then soak the rag with oil, and then light the rag to fire at the other ship? Let the other ship catch fire?" Li Sanliang guessed.

Everyone looked at Yun Qing, and Mu Hong and Lei Laohu's eyes were even more shiny. They also realized that the feasibility of this method at present, if the operation was done properly, they could even minimize their casualties.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "Well, my idea is indeed the case. Didn't we configure the arrows that each of us has twenty to arrows with iron arrow clusters and arrow feathers? The penetration of this arrow is much stronger than the simple wooden arrows we cut out ourselves."

"So even if they catch up with us later, we can use crossbow arrows to attack. If we shoot people, we will use the simple arrows we made later and the complete arrows we configured before to transform them into rockets. We will make small pieces of rags and tie them under the arrow clusters, and then soak them in lamp oil. While there is still sunshine and the wind is strong, we will dry or air-dry these oil-soaked rags, soak them again. After doing this a few more times, it will become very resistant to burning."

"When the two ships approach, we will allocate personnel at the stern and on both sides of the ship in advance, and then arrange stoves in these three places, ignite the cloth with the shooting money, and then shoot here!" Yun Qing stood up at this time and pointed at the huge sail with his finger.

"Everyone knows that the canvas of this kind of sail will be very large and very thick, so we use crossbow arrows to shoot the burning arrows on the canvas. If the burning rocket happens to be stuck on the sail, it would be the best. The canvas is flammable, and the oil-soaked rag strips are quite resistant to burning. In addition, today's wind is also good. Then the wind will help the fire, and the burn will become stronger and stronger. In this way, our chance will come." Yun Qing said with a smile.

Lei Laohu's expression flashed at this time, with a hesitant expression on his face. Finally, he spoke: "If the sails caught fire, they would be put out with water..."

Lei Laohu didn't say it anymore. If he guessed that the end was really the same as this result, it would probably be a typical case of the unsuccessful fire attack.

Yun Qing didn't care, and still had a faint smile on his face: "I'll ask you, if they go to rescue him, do you have to take a bucket of water and find a way to knock down the burning place?"

Everyone nodded, Yun Qing continued: "One is to try not to let the other party rush down with water, that is, to shoot the rocket on the sail!"

Everyone looked at the top of the sail on their ship in the weather, which was probably eight or nine feet tall. At this time, Yun Qing said again: "If it weren't for someone with amazing arm strength, he would never be able to throw the water to such a high position. Moreover, he had not undergone many trainings in advance, so they would definitely not be able to push the water to the point where they pointed, so their efficiency in putting out the fire would be reduced!"

Everyone nodded again and realized that if the rocket was shot into the upper half of the canvas, the people below would be really not easy to put out the fire!

"But what if the people below put down the canvas? After all, sometimes the wind is too strong, the canvas will be put away to prevent the ship from being overwhelmed by the strong wind." One of the young men on Boss Lei asked at this time.

"The problem is not really big. It actually takes a long time to take the sails off. It does not mean that you can take them off immediately if you want to. And whether it is extinguishing the place where the sails are on fire with water, or taking the sails off..." Yun Qing showed a sinister smile on his face.

"Maybe there will be one or two people in every hundred people who can do both things, but others will definitely not. So we can shoot the rockets onto the sails first, and then we can shoot those who come out to put out the fire or try to put away the sails, but they are all targets without resistance."

After hearing Yun Qing's words, Mu Hong, Lei Laohu, and even Liu Baiqing's eyes lit up. This method is good! Not only can you have the chance to destroy the other party's ship, but you also have the probability of weakening the other party's power.

"And even if the opponent's strength and luck are very good, he really put out the burning canvas and the other party, or he works together to put away the sails, then our goal will be achieved!" Yun Qing continued.

"Everyone should know that our ship is heading to Yangzhou against the wind, how did it go against the wind? I believe everyone has discovered it? That's right, it's up to this canvas that are now full of curved canvas by Fenglacheng, and the way of sailing with the shape of the "Z" frame."

Yun Qing asked, and the others nodded and said yes.

"So no matter whether they use water to put out the fire on the sails, or put away the sails to prevent us from shooting archery and fire, our fundamental purpose has been achieved."

"As long as their sails cannot perform their responsibilities normally, they will not be able to catch up with our ship! When they make the sails rise and then chase us again, we probably have already arrived in Yangzhou City by then. When we get there, we don't have to be afraid of anything! We can even let them go without returning!

"With the last sentence, Yun Qing was full of domineering spirit, as if he was back to the time when he was the commander of the Mo Army.

In the following time, under Yun Qing's demonstration, everyone started to make rockets. The production method was very simple. The strips of cloth were tied up on the arrows, stirred in the oil jar, soaked, then pulled out and dried in the basin. After this, it was done three times and a successful rocket was ready to be made.

After all the arrows with clusters and feathers were processed into rockets by them, the sky had changed. The afterglow of the sunset shone golden light on the surface of the Yangtze River, accompanied by the unique sunset.

Yun Qing found the boat boss Zhou Xiaofu and explained to him the reason for finding him this time, which was to ask Zhou Xiaofu to sail at night, but Zhou Xiaofu directly refused, saying that he didn't dare to travel at night, and could be visibility-friendly, and so on, and it was very likely that he would hit something and other routes.

But in the end, he was convinced by Yun Qing's 200 taels of silver. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Mr. Yun, please rest assured to ensure that you complete your mission."

Behind them, the five ships were following Zhou Xiaofu's ship with all their might. In addition to the two in the front used as pioneers, the three behind are now lined up side by side, with Jingzhe, Liu Junmao and Wang Haiqi in charge. At this time, the two came to Jingzhe's ship together.

"Master Jing Gang, according to your estimate, how long will it take for us to catch up with Mu Hong and Yun Qing's ships?" Wang Haiqi asked at this time.

Jingzhe looked up, looked at the setting sky at sunset, and said, "It should be the hour of You. Although we can see the boat in front of us with the naked eye, it is just like the kind of horse running to death when we look at the mountain. In fact, it still needs a certain distance. I guess no matter what, at least it will not be possible to catch up until the hour of Hai or Zi at night."

"So late?" Liu Junmao asked in surprise.

"Well, this is better for our ships than theirs, and the boatmen are better than them, so we can run faster than theirs in total." Jingzhe explained.

"Oh, by the way, the two deputy gang leaders, how many of the people you brought here can do on the deck?" Jingzhe asked, not knowing this in advance, thinking that some people are born to be landslides, and may not be affected by any problems on a stable boat or dock, and there is no problem at all.

But when it comes to the river, as long as the wind is strong and the tide is strong, it is very likely that you will only be venting and have no energy and time to get the remote control board of the defender. Jing Zhe also has his own little plan, and he plans to try his best to get Wang Haiqi and Liu Junmao to join the battle later.
