Ask for some recommendation votes, and there is a chapter in the evening.

――――

When the generals heard this, they remembered the shame of being chased and killed by Cao Jun like a wolf on the Changban Slope, and everyone was holding a grudge.

Zhang Fei was the first to stand up and ask for battle, dancing his fists and shouting: "Although my brother has ordered, this time I must take the head of the Cao thief as a toilet to use." ”

Originally, it was a very serious matter, but to give Zhang Fei such a vulgar description, the atmosphere present suddenly became very relaxed again.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Yide rest assured, the head of the Cao thief is naturally to be taken, but it is not today." I expect that once the Cao thief saw the water army burned, he would not dare to fight, he would take his elite of the northern army to flee in the direction of Jiangling, although the enemy was defeated, but its soldiers were still numerous, with our current strength, it was not cost-effective to fight with it, tonight's battle, mainly with the Wu people to snatch the surrender of the troops and the burden left by the Cao thief. ”

Liu Bei also said: "What the military advisor said is very true, tonight, when I saw the fire in Chibi, Yide and I led a thousand soldiers and horses to the front line of Huarong, but when I saw Cao's army, I only needed to plant more banners and bluff, and I couldn't engage it head-on." Zilong led 500 sailors to patrol the lower reaches of Wulin, but when he saw the defeat of Cao's thief army, they were all captured. As for the Lushan battalion, it was guarded by the military division and Zhongzheng with 500 men and horses, waiting for us to wait for news. ”

Liu Bei only has 2,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and this battle is naturally not as calm as Zhou Yu's deployment, and at the critical moment, he still has to personally put on the battle.

And just when Liu Bei's men and horses were in place and ready to attack at any time, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Wu army camp and 20,000 soldiers had also boarded the ship.

On the dock, the wine was ready, Zhou Yu personally poured a cup and served it to Huang Gai, and said angrily: "The foundation of the three generations of the Sun family, the honor and disgrace of our soldiers, and the surnames of millions of fathers and elders are all in the hands of the public. "Anyway, just raise a glass and drink it all.

Huang Gai's emotions surged for Zhou Yu's words, and he said proudly: "If this trip fails, Gai should apologize with death!" ”

He drank all the wine, threw the cup on the ground, jumped into the boat, and shouted: "Go!" ”

More than 30 fireboats, carrying Huang Gai and hundreds of his dead soldiers, slowly left the water village and slowly sailed to the north shore. 20,000 soldiers of the Wu army watched the boat leave on the boat, and at that moment, it was as if they were bidding farewell to a group of warriors who died generously.

When the fireship sailed a sufficient distance, Zhou Yu ordered the whole army to be launched, and each team acted according to the plan.

At this moment, the sailors can only take advantage of the faint light and rely on their rich experience to drive the fighting ships to rush out of the water village in an orderly manner.

Huang Gai on the fireboat glanced back at the south bank, the night was dark, and he couldn't see any movement in the direction of Qingzhai, but he had been on the Yangtze River for so many years, and he seemed to have an instinct that could make him feel that countless ships were following him, and countless iron-blooded men would follow him to complete the life-and-death battle of this famous man.

Huang Gai touched the saber he was carrying, on the scabbard, there were faint traces of rust, but he was still reluctant to give it, it was this knife that accompanied him to follow Sun Jian to raise troops in Changsha, and follow Sun Ce to sweep Jiangdong.

"Wentai, I, Huang Gai, have fought for your Sun family for a lifetime, and I am worthy of your kindness. If you lose this battle, don't blame me, when you get down, I hope you can still have a good drink with my brother. ”

Huang Gai was muttering to himself, and at this moment, his expression was much calmer.

At this time, the left and right reminded that Cao Ying was near.

Huang Gai's expression regained his solemnity, he stared at the brightly lit Caoying Water Village, and after a long time, he took a deep breath and issued an order in a deep and majestic voice: "Listen to my orders, all ships are ready to ignite!" ”

――――――

At this moment, on top of the iron lock boat, Cao Ying was playing with the wine glass in his hand, the wind was stronger, he felt a burst of coolness, and couldn't help wrapping the red robe tighter.

The good Shixing was blown away by a sudden gale, but it didn't matter, because the gale also blew the good news from the south bank to him.

When he received that Huang Gai was going to return with a grain ship tonight, he was so excited that he almost didn't jump.

At this moment, the good wine that catches the wind has been warm for a long time, and just waiting for Huang Gai to arrive, he can stage a magnanimous and tolerant style in front of all the civil and military officials.

The night is deeper, the wind is more urgent, and the left and right civil and military forces are not as hot as Cao Ying, who has been messy in the cold wind of midwinter for so long, and all of them are frozen to the point of purple.

Many people are scolding in their hearts: "Huang Gai, you old guy, you should come quickly, if you wait any longer, the old men will freeze to death." ”

Cao Ying casually looked around at everyone, and suddenly found that Jia Xu was not there, so he said: "Wen He is here, why don't you come to welcome Huang Gongfu's surrender all the time." ”

Cao Zhen hurriedly said: "Jia Wenhe is unwell, it seems that he is infected with a cold, and it is windy tonight, so he asked me to inform the prime minister, and he will not be able to come." ”

"I said I was fine before, but now I suddenly got sick." Cao Ying muttered a few times and ordered: "He is sick, so if he doesn't come, he will invite a few more doctors to take a look at Wen He." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the sentinel reported that a small group of boats on the south bank of the Yangtze River was coming with the wind, all of which were planted with the Qinglongya flag, and on the big flag in the middle, the name of the pioneer Huang Gai was written.

When all the civil and military officials heard that Huang Gai was coming, they were all overjoyed, and they all wanted to end this matter quickly, so that they could go back to the tent to warm themselves around the fireplace.

Cao Ying jumped up even more excitedly, and said with a smile: "Huang Gongfu is really an honest and covenant-abiding person, and with him to come down, God really helps the orphan." Quickly, pour the wine well, and you must entertain the public well. ”

So, Cao Ying led the generals to stand by the boat, and watched the dozens of small boats take advantage of the wind to speed close.

When he was about to reach two miles, all of a sudden, the twenty or thirty small boats that had been in front of him burst into flames.

Everyone's expressions changed immediately, Cao Ying was even more shocked, only then did he realize that he had made the biggest mistake in his life, and he was anxious to shout: "Lonely plan, hurry, quickly order the boat to dispatch, we must prevent the thief fire boat from approaching the water village." ”

It was already too late for the order to be given and then passed on to the soldiers at the bottom.

At this time, the fire took advantage of the wind, the wind helped the fire, the ship was like an arrow, the flames were monstrous, and more than 30 fireships had crashed into the water village in a blink of an eye. This fire ship was not only loaded with dry firewood and saltpeter and other flammable materials, but also the sides of the ship were also hung with fire oil, so that under the collision, the fire oil splashed everywhere, but everywhere it touched, it was all a little bit.

In an instant, the thirty large fighting ships in the front row of the water village were the first to catch fire, and because of the iron locks, the rest of the fighting ships in series had no time to extricate themselves, and they were ignited by the spreading fire in a moment, and nearly 500 fighting ships were set on fire without a single cup of tea.

And by the momentum of the east wind, the fire quickly spread to the inner layer of the water village, everywhere it passed, there was a raging fire, the soldiers carried buckets to splash water, no matter how hard they tried, the fire could not be extinguished, and because the fire burned too fast, most of the outermost water sergeants did not get off the ship at all, and the whole thousand were engulfed by the fire.

Seeing that the water village and countless warships turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the rolling waves of fire were rushing towards the inner water village and the dry camp, at this moment, Cao Ying's face was as ugly as ashes, he staggered, and barely stood still with the support of the left and right, and Xun Yu next to him said with a bitter face: "Prime Minister, let's plan!" The fire is out of control, hurry up and order a retreat north, otherwise the elite of the dry camp will not be able to keep it! ”

Cao Ying looked at the raging fire, looked at the figures of the soldiers struggling in the sea of fire, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "It's careless, the general trend has gone, the general trend has gone, alas, let's withdraw." ”
