A raging fire burned on the surface of the river.

Looking at this scene, Xiahoudun said with a blank face: "Childe, even if the small boat is burning, there will not be such a big fire......

"If there were all straw men on the boat, would there be such a big fire?" Cao Shuo asked with a slight smile.

"There are no people on the boat, but what are you doing with so many straw men?" Xiahoudun said: "Could it be that the Jiangdong Army still wants to attack our army with straw men?" ”

"The straw men can't attack our army, but they can borrow our army's arrows." Cao Shuo said: "Jiangdong lacks arrows, and they want to use these ships to borrow arrows from our army. ”

"That's what you brought with you." Xiahoudun was full of black lines: "If I have the chance, I will also go to the other side to borrow some arrows." ”

"General Xiahou doesn't dare to really go." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "The commander on the other side is Zhou Yu, how can this little trick be hidden from his eyes?" ”

"That's right." Xiahou smacked his lips and said, "Look at those little boats, there are two hundred of them. What a good ship, it's a pity that it was burned like this. ”

"Now that the Jiangdong Army has already moved, we don't give any response, but we are afraid that we will be despised by them." Cao Shuo said: "The order is sent down, and all the catapults will throw boulders on the opposite bank, and each car will throw twenty pieces. ”

Cao Shuo's order was given, and the catapult that had been prepared soon let out a roar.

One or two hundred catapults threw boulders at the same time, and the scene was spectacular.

Earlier, Cao Shuo had given an order to throw boulders for the first time, and all catapults were aimed at Jiangdong Water Village.

Countless boulders flew out with a roar and fell towards the Jiangdong Water Village.

Standing on the north side of the riverbank, you can hear the roar of boulders hitting warships.

After all, the darkness before dawn was short-lived, and after Zhuge Liang's previous commotion, when the catapult threw the boulders, the sky was already slightly bright.

Looking at the Jiangdong Water Village on the other bank, the corners of Cao Shuo's mouth hooked up a shallow smile.

The boulders flew in the sky and fell into the water village, sinking the Jiangdong warships.

The water army in the water village is hiding from the boulder, but after all, they are not like the soldiers in the city and have a city wall to rely on.

With the fall of a boulder rain, I don't know how many Jiangdong sailors died in the Yangtze River.

When the last boulder was projected out, looking at the Jiangdong Water Village on the other side of the riverbank, Xiahou smacked his mouth and said: "Childe's catapult is really powerful, I think the Jiangdong Water Army is really finished now." ”

"It's just a water village." Cao Shuo said: "There are still many days, and I want them to not only lose the water village, but even the defense line on the land will be bombed into chaos." ”

"Not long after we arrived at the riverside, our army beat the enemy army like this, no wonder Cao Gong stayed in Xiangyang and only let Gongzi lead the troops to fight." Xiahoudun said: "If you change to someone else, you may not be able to get such a benefit. ”

"If my father had come, he would have done better than me." Cao Shuo grinned and said against his will.

While the two were talking, one of them hurried towards them.

It was Cao Zhang who ran over.

In front of Cao Shuo, Cao Zhang asked: "Brother, the catapult has already bombed the enemy's water village to the ground, can we send troops to attack?" ”

"You want to attack?" Cao Shuo asked him.

"Of course." Cao Zhang said: "This time I came to Jingzhou, I didn't have any credit at all, and I had to go around the battlefield to fight Jiangdong." ”

"It's just the beginning, it's not time to send troops yet." Cao Shuo said: "Although most of the Jiangdong Water Village is over, they are not without the ability to resist, and our army has to wait for the opportunity." ”

"Their ships are gone, what time are they waiting for?" Cao Zhang didn't understand Cao Shuo's statement, and muttered in his mouth.

"Now that the river has been crossed, the morale of the Jiangdong Army has not completely declined." Cao Shuo said: "Although we are fully sure that we can win, there will not be a few soldiers who will be lost. What I want is not to kill too many people, but also to be able to take Jiangdong into my hands. ”

"Third son, you also know the ability of the eldest son." Xiahoudun also said on the side: "The eldest prince must have his reason for saying not to be in a hurry, and the third prince just waits." ”

Xiahoudun also helped Cao Shuo speak, and Cao Zhang had no choice but to say more.

The catapult bombarded the water village of the Jiangdong Army, and the soldiers of the Cao Army were full of emotion, while the Jiangdong Army on the other side was demoralized.

Countless corpses of Jiangdong soldiers were fished out of the water village.

Many of the bodies were smashed to pieces.

Zhou Yu walked on the bank of the river with his nose covered, looking at the fragmented water village, his mood was very complicated.

I had already said that I couldn't let Cao Zi melt across the river, but I still let him run.

Now it's a good thing, the two armies confronted each other, first Zhuge Liang and Lu Su lost 200 boats, and then even the water village of the Jiangdong Navy was completely destroyed.

Without Shuizhai, even if the warships are transferred from elsewhere, there is no place to dock the ships, how can they confront Cao Jun?

Looking at the other side of the riverbank, Zhou Yu tightened his brows.

"Metropolitan Governor, Marquis Wu is here." Zhou Yu was still thinking about how to break through Cao's army, and Zhou Tai came behind him and said.

Looking back, he saw Sun Quan leading a group of people to ride a horse towards this side.

Zhou Yu hurriedly greeted him.

"Gong Jin." Without waiting for Zhou Yu to speak, Sun Quan split his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Return to Wu Hou." Zhou Yu said: "Because of the lack of arrows in the army, I really couldn't transfer people around me, so I planned to ask Zhuge Kongming to help me supervise the production of a batch. Cao Zirong burned down 200 boats. It was precisely because of his action that Cao Zirong was angered, and the projection vehicles on the other side of the bank were released, which bombed our army's water village to a pulp. ”

"What about the warship? What about the sailors? Sun Quan asked.

"There were many dead and wounded, and the ships were almost completely destroyed." Zhou Yu said: "It seems that the warship is going to be transferred from elsewhere. ”

"Since I took charge of Jiangdong, there has never been a time when the water village has been breached." Sun Quan said with a blushing face: "What's more, this time the Cao army did not cross the river with a single soldier, and actually destroyed our army's water village......"

"Wu Hou, don't worry." Zhou Yu said: "The war has just begun, and our army is not completely without a chance to ......"

"Opportunity?" Sun Quan frowned and said, "What other chances can there be?" Our army is not even a water village, and as soon as the enemy warships come, what will our army use to resist? ”

"I have given the order to go down and deploy hidden piles along the river." Zhou Yu said: "Although our army has no warships, it is not easy for Cao Jun to cross the river. ”

"What's the use of holding them back, you have to think of ways to get them to retreat." Sun Quan said: "Cao Zirong was provoked by you, you have to find a way to get him to retreat the soldiers and horses." ”

"I have a plan." Zhou Yu said: "It's just that it's not time to use it yet." ”
