Section 336: The Battle of Chibi

Although the Governor of Zhou Yu determined the battle plan for burning the warships, since Cao Cao's naval warships were independent, if only one or two ships caught fire, his ships could still leave quickly.

In order to create more favorable conditions for the fire attack, we offered Zhou Yu a plan again, of course, in fact, this strategy was also Zhou Yu himself came up with, but we told him his strategy through our mouths five minutes in advance, Zhou Yu was overjoyed and said, this idea is really rare, one move to defeat the enemy, it is simply great.

So Zhou Yu skillfully let the resourceful Pang Tong sneak to Cao's camp and personally presented Cao Cao with a series of plans to tie the warships together.

Although Cao Cao himself was suspicious by nature, but Cao Cao's navy was mostly composed of northerners, they were not adapted to life on the water, and many people suffered from illness due to bumps and seasickness, he was ecstatic that this method was completely seamless and impeccable, and immediately adopted this proposition, and as soon as Pang Tong's strategy was put into practice, Cao Cao's warships were either thirty in a team, or fifty in a group, all of which were tightly connected together with heavy iron locks specially tailored by skilled craftsmen, and then laid heavy planks on the ship, and the soldiers and horses walked back and forth as if they were walking on the ground, and they were at ease, so the problem of seasickness was completely solved, so not only the soldiers cheered for it, that is, Cao Cao, who has been in battle for a long time and knows the art of war, in the face of a ship formation as stable as Mount Tai, he also thinks that he has a plan and is very happy.

And let us wait for a long time, eagerly awaited, the dream of the battle of Chibi is finally coming, the day of the battle, nearly three watches, at this time everything is ready, the southeast wind is gradually rising, it is uninvited, really God help me, and on the Yangtze River, the wind is huge, and more and more urgent.

Then the following various scenes and Brother Luo wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the colorful, vivid description is exactly the same, let us immerse ourselves in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the earth-shattering, the historical moment that has been passed down through the ages, it is really fresh in our memory, leaving an indelible impact in our minds, unforgettable for life, only to see that the humiliated Huang Gai will also prepare 20 big boats, filled with reeds and dry firewood, poured with fish oil, paved with sulfur for ignition, Flame nitrate and other materials, and then covered with a green cloth oil sheet, the bow of the ship was also nailed with big nails, and the ship erected a contact sign of the Qinglongya flag.

Behind each large boat is a small boat that is easy to move. Huang Gai also sent a pawn with a book to agree with Cao Cao to come and surrender that night.

Zhou Yu also arranged for Huang Gai's ships and the follow-up team to attack. Cao Cao's army, which was confused and kept in the dark, saw the Huanggai ship coming as promised, so they were unguarded.

Huang Gai then ordered the firewood and grass to be lit, and at the same time the fire was fired, and the fire took advantage of the wind to spread to Cao Cao, the military camp on the shore of Cao's army, Cao Cao in Jiangbei, was waiting for news with the generals in Dazhai.

Huang Gai, who had surrendered by fraud, set sail to surrender to Cao Cao, and Huang Gai lined up ten warships at the forefront, hoisted their sails in the middle of the river, and the rest of the ships advanced in turn.

The generals and soldiers in Cao Cao's army all walked out of the barracks and stood there watching, pointing and saying that Huang Gai had come to surrender.

When they were more than two miles away from Cao Cao's army, all the ships lit a fire at the same time, the fire was very strong, the wind was very fierce, the ships came and went like sharp arrows, inserted into Cao Cao's warships, burned them all, and spread to the military camp on the shore, all of a sudden, a red sky, a fire full of fireworks, a tongue of fire overflowed, the night sky in the middle of the night was dyed a blood red, the beacon smoke bursts, the flames of war flew, the cries continued, burned to death, drowned countless people and horses.

At the same time, Zhou Yu methodically led the lightly armed elite soldiers to follow them closely behind, beating drums to shake the sky, deafening, and at this moment, a thousand miles away, Cao Cao's army was completely dispersed.

The angry Cao Cao led the army to flee from Huarong Road, and encountered a muddy road, the road was impassable, and the sky was whistling and blowing a strong wind, which was really a disaster, so they had to order the weak soldiers to fill the road with grass on their backs, and the cavalry was able to pass.

Those weak soldiers were trampled by the cavalry, trapped in the mud, with many casualties, miserable, the war was so cruel, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu advanced together by land and water, and pursued Cao Cao to Nanjun.

Cao Cao's army was starved and plagued, and nearly half of them died. Cao Cao then left the general Cao Ren and the general Xu Huang of Hengye to guard Jiangling, and the general Lejin to guard Xiangyang and lead the army back to the north.

This famous battle of Chibi ended with Zhou Yu and his resounding victory, and we only played a small role in fueling the flames.

Zhou Yu and they were ready to return, and sincerely invited us to go together, but we remembered that the time here was too long, and the night was long and dreamy, and it was inconvenient to stay longer, so we reluctantly said goodbye to Zhou Yu and the governor of them, and returned to the time machine outside the tentIt's just that it is estimated that we have been walking for a long time, and there are no more people in various masked clothes surrounding us next to us, and we breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
