Chapter 1655: Fire Attack

Zhou Yu tried to design Cao Shuo to connect the warships, but Cao Shuo saw through it.

Cao Cao, who was in Xiangyang, received the latest battle reports from the Red Cliff Coast almost every day.

Sitting in the study, after reading the new battle report, Cao Cao handed it to Xun Yu, who was sitting opposite him: "If it were me, I'm afraid I would be fooled, and it would be Zirong who went to the loss." ”

After taking the letter, Xun Yu was stunned after reading it: "I didn't even understand Gongda, but I was seen through by the eldest son......"

"Recently, I have become more and more aware that it is a wise choice to let Zirong be the son of the world." Cao Cao said: "As long as he is there, the Cao family will definitely be able to dominate the world in the future." ”

"What Cao Gong said is that in fact, many people feel this way." Xun Yu replied: "The eldest son will definitely be able to support the Han family in the future and revive the Han family." ”

"That's what Wen Ruo said." Cao Cao smiled and nodded.

"Cao Gong is loyal and righteous, and the Han family has the support of the Cao family, and it will be able to maintain long-term stability." Xun Yu got up and bowed to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao just smiled but didn't speak.

Since the edict, he has seen through many things.

Originally, Cao Cao also thought that he would wait until the world was unified and return all the military power to the Han family, but after that incident, he realized that if he really returned the ownership power in his hands in the future, he was afraid that he would return it on the first day, and he would fall to the ground the next day.

The merit is high and the lord is shocked, and the little emperor of the Han family will not allow him to live.

Cao Cao has many staff members and generals, but they are all loyal to Cao Cao, but Xun Yu always thinks about Kuang Fu Han Dynasty.

With Xun Yu by his side, it is really impossible for Cao Cao to make too outrageous moves.

Otherwise, just the matter of the edict would be enough to make Liu Xie die a thousand times......

Cao Cao, who was sitting in Xiangyang, praised Cao Shuo in front of Xun Yu, and Cao Shuo also got the news from Huang Gai at this time.

Standing by the river, looking at the letter sent by Huang Gai, the corners of Cao Shuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he tore the letter to shreds.

"Childe, what are you doing?" Sima Yi, who was standing beside him, asked, "Why did you tear up the letter written by Huang Gai?" ”

"I know that I don't really want to work, and the plan is about to end, what else do I do with his letters?" Cao Shuo smiled and asked, "Do you want to stay and remember?" ”

"What did Huang Gai say, and Gongzi decided that he was going to carry out the plan?" Sima Yi asked.

"He said in the letter that he originally intended to do something, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Zhou Gongjin." Cao Shuo said: "When it didn't work, he asked to come to Cao's house to seek refuge. ”

"Looks like they're really going to make a move." Sima Yi nodded and said.

"It's time to make a move." Cao Shuo raised his arm high above the top, felt the wind passing from the palm of his hand and said: "The south wind has been blowing in the past few days, and what Zhou Gongjin is waiting for is the south wind. We've been here long enough, and it's time for the general assault. ”

"Zhongda, pass the order." He instructed Sima Yi: "As soon as a small boat or boat on the other side comes this way, report it to me immediately." ”

"I made a note of it." Sima Yi responded.

At this time, Jiangdong, Huang Gai's residence.

Zhou Taibi stood respectfully in front of Huang Gai.

"The day of defeating Cao's army is finally coming." Huang Gai asked him, "Did the Metropolitan Governor say anything?" ”

"Got it." Zhou Tai said: "He asked the old general to cherish it, and when the old general returns, he will personally serve wine to show his merits." ”

"As long as you can break the Cao family's army, whether Gong Jin will serve wine or not is a trivial matter." Huang Gai said: "I only hope that Jiangdong can win this battle, and the Jiangdong Sun family can survive this crisis." ”

"With the governor of the capital and the old general, Jiangdong will be safe." Zhou Tai clenched his fists and said: "I wish the old general's ship success!" ”

"Thank you, General Zhou!" Huang Gai returned the salute, and then beckoned a group of soldiers and went to the river.

On the riverside, dozens of small boats were covered with sackcloth.

Underneath the linen cloth is straw soaked in oil.

As soon as there is a little spark, the stubble will immediately burn and become a raging fire.

Huang Gai boarded a small boat and stood on the bow of the boat looking at the Cao Jun Water Village on the opposite bank.

The Cao army's warships were stacked on top of each other, and it was impossible to count how many there were at a glance.

"General, you're ready." The soldier who was on the same boat with him clenched his fists and said.

Pointing forward, Huang Gai said, "Let's go." ”

Huang Gai led dozens of small boats to the north bank of the river, and Cao Shuo soon got the news.

He sent an order to Huang Zhong to lead the sharpshooter battalion to the riverside.

Pointing to the dozens of small boats that were about to reach the center of the river, Cao Shuo asked Huang Zhong, "General Huang, can the Marksman Battalion shoot the boats that are coming from here?" ”

"It's a little far away." Huang Zhong said: "I can, but I'm afraid the soldiers can't." ”

"Dozens of small boats, if General Huang shoots arrows, how long will it take to shoot them all?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"It's just a few breaths." Huang Zhong said.

"Then ask the old general to shoot a flaming arrow at every small boat." Cao Shuo said: "You don't need to shoot people, just shoot the sackcloth on the ship." ”

"Fetch a bow and arrows!" Huang Zhong shouted behind him.

An officer of the sharpshooter battalion handed a bow and arrow in both hands, and a man set fire to an arrow wrapped in sackcloth.

Riding the arrow, Huang Zhong aimed at the small boat in the lead.

On the small boat he was aiming at, Huang Gai was anxiously hoping that the boat would only go faster.

As long as he got closer, he could ignite the straw on the ship and crash into the Cao army warship on the opposite side.

At that moment, he suddenly spotted a flaming arrow flying from the opposite bank.

The moment he saw the arrow, Huang Gai shouted: "Not good! ”

As soon as the shout fell, the arrows had already hit the sackcloth on the ship.

Before the soldiers stepped forward to put out the fire, the flames spread instantly, and Huang Gai and the soldiers were immediately engulfed in flames.

Immediately after, several more flaming rockets flew over, hitting several small boats impartially.

Although the south wind was blowing, no one rowed the burning boat, and it was moving very slowly.

By the time the last ship was set on fire, the first one to burn had already burned out and was immersed in the icy water.

"Catapult adjustment." Pointing to the dozens of small boats burning in the center of the river, Cao Shuo shouted: "Smash stones there, don't let a living person go ashore!" ”

The catapult, which had already adjusted the projection distance, soon let out a roar of catapult, and countless arrows flew towards the center of the river.

Where the flames burned, countless waves were stirred up by the boulders.

Looking at this scene, Cao Shuo pursed his lips and said to Sima Yi and the others on the side: "Huang Gai also wants to lie to me, how does he know that the price of deceiving me will be death!" ”

"If it weren't for Childe, my army would probably suffer a big loss this time." Sima Yi clenched his fists and said, "Fortunately, Gongzi saw through their conspiracy. ”
