Chapter 183: Cao Cao's anger burned

"In this attack of the great waves, our army lost eighty-six warships, and one hundred and forty-two warships were damaged. There were more than 1,500 soldiers killed in the battle, and some of the wounded soldiers were ......" Speaking of this, Chen Lin's tone was stunned, and his face became ugly.

Cao Cao sat above and snorted coldly: "How many!" ”

Chen Lin sighed softly and said in a bitter tone: "There are about 10,000 people!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but rise up, couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and roared loudly: "You actually told me that there were 10,000 people? There were fifty people on each ship, and the number of ships lost was less than a hundred, so how did you say that these 10,000 people came about? ”

"Lord, lord, many soldiers are not injured by the great waves, but ...... Alas, but because of fear they jumped into the river, and then they were frostbitten. ”

"Stupid! Stupid! Cao Cao's expression was extremely violent, in fact, he didn't blame him for being so angry, after all, before the battle began, he had lost 10,000 men and hundreds of ships. The most infuriating thing is that the other party dared to exploit the loophole in his war book. Use this means of changing the climate to attack in a different direction!

At this time, the young-looking Xun You stood up from the side, bowed down and said, "Please calm the anger of the lord, but the minister thinks that this is not entirely bad news." ”

Hearing this, the anger on Cao Cao's face eased: "What is Mr. Xun You's opinion, please tell me in detail!" ”

Xun You coughed lightly, and said, "I think that this attack has not only damaged our army, but also hit the morale of our soldiers. However, this shows a problem in a way, that is, they know that as long as the war starts in three days, they will definitely not be able to withstand our all-out attack, so they will seize the time to weaken our strength in these few days. In my opinion, this is the weakness of their own initiative to expose their own insufficient forces, do you think this is good news? ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly turned angry into a smile and said: "Haha, that's right, I have an army of one million, and these ten thousand people are just a drop in the bucket!" But they, now there are only three days left, and I see what else they can do. ”

Xun You smiled and nodded slightly: "The minister has another discovery, that is, they seem to have completely given up the plan to use fire attack, and it has been a continuous rainstorm and sudden heavy snowfall during this time, it seems that they are ready to use the weather and abundant water resources to compete with us!" ”

Who knows, Cao Cao shook his head lightly and denied: "Not necessarily, I don't think the other party is stupid, although the repeated use of water attacks has caused damage to us, but it always feels like they are deliberately covering up something." Therefore, we still can't let our guard down, and we must not let them have the slightest act of ignition. ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly came from outside the cabin: "My lord, the enemy in the distance has shot a letter with a bow and arrow." ”

"Bring it in."

"Yes." A soldier came in through the door and respectfully handed over a note.

Cao Cao took it casually, spread out the note and looked at it, but found that it was written by Zhuge Kongming: "I have heard the name of Prime Minister Cao Cheng for a long time, and it is indeed extraordinary when I see it today." In the evening, Zhou Gongjin flooded your army with a great flood, but when he returned to the camp, he laughed at me, saying that I had done nothing for the past few days and had not made any merits. Therefore, in order not to be subservient, I Zhuge Liang also want to give the prime minister a big gift, please go out of the cabin immediately to watch! Zhuge Kongming respectfully. ”

Frowning slightly, this Zhuge Kongming finally showed his head, but he didn't know what trick he was going to play. Cao Cao was also a master of the arts, and without thinking much about it, he left the cabin with a few strategists and walked to the deck.

At this time, it was dark outside, but the moon in the sky was still extremely bright, and Cao Cao and his party could barely see the situation on the other side. I saw the appearance of a fleet of ships faintly emerging in the distance, probably the size of thousands of people.

Just when Cao Cao didn't know why, he saw pieces of fire suddenly appear on the opposite side, and it was obvious that they were preparing rockets. At the same time, above their ships, an extremely huge fire dragon suddenly appeared, raising its head and roaring at Cao Cao's side, accompanied by thousands of rockets, which were thrown from afar.

The people around Cao Cao were shocked when they saw this, if they were shot by so many bows and arrows, they would definitely not survive! However, Xun You, who was beside Cao Cao, pursed his lips disdainfully, and immediately stood up, and with a shake of his right hand, a strange cone-shaped object suddenly appeared, which was his star selector-Heaven and Earth Change Cone.

I saw Xun You slamming the tip of the cone down on the ground, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the dense rocket in the sky. Suddenly, the trajectory of the rockets ejected from the sky changed, and in an extremely exaggerated arc, they quickly fell from the sky and landed on the remaining ice on the surface of the river one by one.

This is the ability of Xun Youxing's selector, which can convert the gravity on the sky and the ground at will, and the opponent's bow and arrow fell one after another because of the sudden increase in gravity.

"Give me arrows to shoot back, why are you looking at it stupidly?" Cao Cao couldn't help shouting at the guards on the deck.

Xun You hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "Lord, don't fight back, look at the current situation on the river, because the landing of the rocket before produced a lot of water vapor on the water surface." Now that the river is full of smoke, if we fight back at this time, won't it be the same as in history? He Zhuge Kongming came to borrow arrows from our grass boat! ”

Cao Cao suddenly realized in an instant, how could he almost forget this stubble, if it weren't for Xun You's reminder, he would really have to send them another batch of bows and arrows! "Okay, since their purpose is to borrow arrows, then they will definitely not get too close, you pay close attention, if they dare to come closer, they will shoot directly with a bow!"

Hearing Cao Cao's order, the soldiers shook their spirits and shouted, "Obey!" ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Cao Cao no longer paid attention to the fleet on the opposite side, this Zhuge Liang dared to repeat the old tricks, do you really think I can't see through it? Thinking so, he returned to the cabin with the others.

At the same time, on the opposite boat, Zhou Yu stood on the bow of the boat, put away the flute in his hand, and laughed with satisfaction: "This Cao Cao really fell into the scheme, not only regarded me as Zhuge Liang, but also thought that I really wanted him to borrow arrows." ”

"However, the Metropolitan Governor, you attacked with fire like this, didn't you expose Zhuge Liang's plan? What if they take precautions? Lu Meng asked puzzled.

Zhou Yu smiled confidently: "No, not only will they not be guarded, but they are even more convinced that we will continue to attack with water." Combining the virtual and the real, I didn't use fire at all before, it was to pave the way for this time, to create a plan for them to hide the fire attack, and then this sudden use of fire attack was to deliberately make a performance that we wanted to cover up, so that they could not figure it out. Coupled with the failure of this fire attack, they will be convinced that we will simply give up the fire attack! ”

Lu Meng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Du Du, you are this, when it is true and false, it is true, and when it is false, it is also false!" ”

Zhou Yu nodded lightly and looked in the direction of his camp, Zhuge Liang, everything I can do Zhou Yu has been done, and then only your plan remains, I hope you will not let me down!

However, although I have convinced Cao Cao of this toss, due to the weather and environmental problems, your fire attack is not so easy to use. So, let me see what you can do against them? Let me wait and see!
