Chapter 090: Burning the Serial Ship 1
Zhuge Liang's move was insidious, his purpose was not to persuade Xiao Qiao to persuade Cao Cao to send troops slowly, but to ask Zhou Yu to send troops early for Xiao Qiao's sake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Because Zhou Yu didn't believe what Zhuge Liang said, he didn't believe that the wind would change from northwest to southeast two days later.
After Zhou Yu returned home, he found that Xiao Qiao had disappeared, he was very nervous, and asked his subordinates about Xiao Qiao's whereabouts, and the subordinates said that Xiao Qiao went out with Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu thought to himself: What the hell is this Zhuge Liang doing? Why is Xiao Qiao with Zhuge Liang?
Later, Zhou Yu found a note left by Xiao Qiao, which read: I go to see Cao Cao, I will find a way to make Cao Cao withdraw his troops, in order to protect your life, I am willing to give everything for you.
"You're a stupid woman...... You're so stupid......"
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth in anger, he was very worried about Xiao Qiao's safety: "This Zhuge Liang is really hateful. All this must be his trick, he wants to take advantage of my concern for Xiao Qiao's safety, and force me to send troops to fight Cao Cao as soon as possible. ā
"Damn Zhuge Liang, you succeeded, I will immediately send troops to defeat Cao Cao, no matter what, I have to protect Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao is the woman I love the most in my life, I will never let her get hurt. ā
After Zhou Yu learned of this situation, he had completely lost his mind, so Zhou Yu killed Cai He, who had surrendered, and ordered Huang Gai to immediately send someone across the river to Cao Ying to make an appointment, and at the same time prepare a fireboat, which was scheduled to set off on the third watch. He also ordered Gan Ning to take Wulin directly, burned Cao Jun's grain hoard, and let the general Cai Zhong be his guide.
The people sent by Huang Gai crossed the river, met Cao Cao, and presented the letter. Cao Cao took it apart and took a look, it turned out that Huang Gai agreed to kill the general of Dongwu tonight, brought a grain ship to surrender, and planted the green dragon tooth flag on the ship as a mark. Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he and all the generals came to the big boat in Shuizhai and looked at the south bank of the Yangtze River, just waiting for Huang Gai's ship to arrive.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds began to change color, and the southeast wind began to blow, and Cao Cao did not feel that the wind had changed. Seeing the change in the wind, Zhou Yu was extremely surprised: "As Zhuge Liang expected, the southeast wind blew, so that the battle situation will be completely rewritten." Zhuge Liang ...... He...... What a scary character. ā
"It's good now, the southeast wind is just right for us to attack Cao Cao's sailors. ā
This southeast wind came in time, which improved the morale of the soldiers of the Eastern Wu Army, and the letter eagle in the camp of the Eastern Wu Army continued to fly out, conveying orders one after another, so that Liu Bei's army and Sun Quan's reserve army all moved to prepare for the upcoming big battle.
After Liu Beijun got the news, he rushed towards the direction of the battlefield, opening roads in mountains and building bridges in water along the way. Overcoming thorns and thorns is to fight a way in the primeval forest and go straight to the battlefield of Chibi. Night had just fallen, and more than 1,000 warships of the Dongwu Navy Division poured out, carrying more than 30,000 Dongwu sailors and infantry, slowly sailing towards Cao Cao's water village with a murderous aura.
The first was the former army of the Soochow Naval Division, which was composed of more than 50 small boats filled with hay, dry firewood, sulfur, fire oil, etc., all of which were hung with green dragon tooth flags.
Walking to the center of the river, Huang Gai, who was dressed in armor, gestured to the soldiers next to him and shouted in a low voice: "It's time to send a signal to the Cao army on the other side." ā
This personal soldier had to order to light a torch, stand at the bow of the boat and shake the torch three times at the Cao Jun Water Village in the distance, and after a moment's pause, he saw that a torch was also lit in the Cao Shuishi Water Village on the opposite side, and it shook three times slightly.
"Haha, Cao Cao has a plan, beckon the brothers to hurry up and row, the enemy has already connected with us, will not attack us, but when the time comes, as long as they burn their serial boats, we will win. Huang Gai said softly.
Zhou Yu, the governor of the 1,000 warships of the Chinese army of the Eastern Wu Naval Division, personally commanded it, and at this moment he watched the fireboat carried by Huang Gai quickly killing the enemy, and stretched out his hand to try the wind direction next to him: "Zhuge Liang is really a ghost, through the heavens and latitudes, the northwest wind blows in the middle of winter, I didn't expect him to borrow the southeast wind from God to help us break the enemy." Zhuge Liang is so proficient in astronomy and geography, and it is incredible that he accurately calculates the date caused by the trade winds. ā
On the Chibi battlefield, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang belonged to different princes, forcing them to intrigue and fight each other.
Cao Cao saw a cluster of sailboats from a distance, taking advantage of the wind, the boats were planted with green dragon tooth flags, and a large flag in the middle was written "Pioneer Yellow Cover".
Cheng Yu said: "There is fraud in coming to the boat, and it is not allowed to get close to the water village." If there is food in the ship, the hull will be steady, and now it seems that the boat with the yellow cover is very light, and the southeast wind is blowing, so as to guard against his tricks. "
At this time, the Huanggai fireboat force had approached Cao Cao's huge fleet of serial ships, and they were about to collide, not only did they not slow down, but they were still rowing hard, and even the firewood and grass on the bow of the small boat had been ignited.
Cao Cao suddenly came to his senses and ordered the general Wen Ping to stop the incoming ship and not let him approach the village. Huang Gai led fifty clippers, filled with dried firewood soaked in oil, each with a small boat tied to the back of the ship for battle, and hurried to the north shore.
Wen Ping was standing on the bow of the boat and shouting, not letting the boat approach the village, but at the sound of the bowstring, he was hit by an arrow in his left arm and fell in the middle of the boat, Huang Gai's ship was already close to Cao Jun's water village, Huang Gai waved his knife, and fifty ships were on fire together. The fire immediately burned to Cao's warship.
The southeast wind is blowing more and more fiercely. The fire borrowed the wind, the wind helped the fire, and in an instant, Cao's warships were burning. The ship was chained and could not be disengaged. The fire in the river, the smoke in the sky, and the red up and down. The water village was drowned in a sea of fire.
Cao Jun seemed to react quickly, as soon as he saw the small boat of the Eastern Wu Army on fire, the sound of gongs and gongs was non-stop, and a large number of soldiers quickly evacuated along the deck laid on the serial ship in a panic, and they didn't mean to resist at all.
"Knock! knock......"
The sound of continuous collision sounded, a large number of fireships of the Dongwu Navy Division collided with the warships of the Cao Army's Naval Division, the raging fire ignited, and under the blowing southeast wind, the chain ships were quickly ignited, and the crackling and burning, for a while, the frightened screams of the soldiers of the Cao Army Sailors were mixed with the whirring sound of the fire.
The wind helped the fire, and soon Cao Jun's water village burned into a sea of fire, and the high flames were more than ten zhang high, reflecting the entire water surface of the Yangtze River red.
"Cao Cao, you're done playing!" Zhou Yu looked at the fire in front of him and ordered: "The whole army is attacking, brothers, kill all Cao soldiers!"
"Kill, kill all the thieves!"
The soldiers of the Eastern Wu Naval Division who were waiting behind Zhou Yu were crazy, their eyes were red from the fire, and they shouted loudly to kill and rowed desperately to kill them.
