Chapter 8: The Defeat of Chibi

readx;

November of the thirteenth year of Jian'an

Cao Cao led the army down the river, and in Chibi, he met with Sun Liu's coalition army unexpectedly!

Standing on the bow of the ship, Cao Cao looked at the chaotic and noisy scene on the south bank of the Yangtze River, calm as usual, and ordered the flotilla on the south bank to carry the ground troops as much as possible to move closer to the flotilla on the north bank.

This time, the Sun-Liu alliance was dominated by Jiangdong, Liu Bei's group was a subordinate, the person who led the overall situation was Sun Quan, and the specific combat commander was Zhou Yu.

Jiangdong Zhou Lang was extraordinary, led the army calmly, and dispatched well, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses converged with Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, assembled and stationed on the south bank in advance, and waited for work, and the ground troops of Cao's army opened a killing ring as soon as they met, and the results were brilliant.

The south bank of the Yangtze River here is Chibi, and on the north bank, it is Wulin.

The corpses of Cao Bing were all over the ground, and the Sun and Liu coalition troops stood by the Chibi River, looking at the north bank from afar, and they could vaguely see Cao Cao, the heroic man standing proudly on the warship and looking down at the world.

Cao Cao's military order had been conveyed, and the flotilla south of the Yangtze River began to move closer to the troops on the north bank, and the follow-up troops were also received by the ships that received them to the north bank upstream.

As far as the eye could see, the riverside on the south bank was crowded, and several generals on horses and cloaks made Cao Cao show a sneer.

"The mantis arm is a car, not self-sufficient."

The warships approached, and the troops went down to camp on the shore of Wulin, but nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses were not enough to accommodate the narrow place on the shore, so more troops camped in the woods.

Seeing Cao Jun camped on the north shore in a calm and orderly manner, Zhou Yu let out a light sigh.

There are a lot of bones around, but there are still too few!

"Congratulations to the governor, the victory in the first battle will increase the momentum of our army, and Po Cao will have a better chance of winning."

On the battlefield, there is only one person with wide clothes and wide sleeves, dressed as a scholar, Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu followed the prestige, and said lightly without any smugness: "This battle can be won, because our army is waiting for work, Cao's army is tired and tired, and there is an outbreak of disease in the army. ”

Liu Bei, who has passed middle age, stared blankly at the corpse of Cao Jun in front of him, he has fought all his life, and the person he fears the most is Cao Cao, he didn't expect that in a desperate situation, he actually won!

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, plus Lu Meng, Lu Fan, Ding Feng and other generals are naturally overjoyed and full of momentum for this small victory in front of them!

But Liu Bei looked at the endless warships and company camps of Cao Jun, and his heart was still bottomless, so he turned his head to the heroic Zhuge Liang and asked, "Strategist, how should we fight next?" ”

Zhuge Liang Chengzhu smiled in his chest, his eyes vaguely glanced at Zhou Yu, who was riding on a horse and looking at the north bank, and said: "The Metropolitan Governor has a strategy to break Cao, so don't worry." ”

Zhou Yu turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang, and said in a cold voice: "Three days later, it will be the death of Cao Thief!" ”

After that, Zhou Yu led the army back to the Chibi camp with a cadre of Jiangdong generals.

Liu Bei saw Zhou Yu return to the camp, so he also took the soldiers back with him, but Zhuge Liang stayed by the river and stopped to look at the northwest.

When the dark curtain came, Zhuge Liang whispered to himself.

"Cao Cao, you can't die. Guo Jia, you should already be in Hangu Pass at this moment, intending to sweep the Central Plains. ”

Closing his eyes and thinking about it, Zhuge Liang calculated that it was impossible for Guo Jia to transfer the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and all the elites under Zhang Liao to the south, so when the strength of the soldiers and horses could not be equal to Cao Cao, Guo Jia was obviously more reasonable to send troops from the north, and he was invincible!

The simplest arithmetic problems can be done by children, Guo Jia is in Yizhou, and he can't draw 200,000 soldiers and horses, while Cao Cao has 400,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, but Guo Jia can gather 300,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and Si Li only has 200,000 soldiers and horses from Cao Cao.

Turning around and walking back to the camp, a light smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's handsome face.

Imaginary scenes flashed through my mind.

Cao Cao's army was defeated in Chibi, Guo Jia broke through Luoyang, Cao Cao waved his army back to help, and fought to the death with Guo Jia in the Central Plains!

Jingzhou has no owner, Liu Bei takes advantage of the situation to rise!

After the decisive battle between Guo Cao's two families, the strength of one side will be greatly reduced! If Guo Jia is defeated, Liu Bei will attack Yizhou! Cao Cao was defeated, and Liu Bei entered the Central Plains!

The Yangtze River is known as the landscape of three feet of waves without wind, the cold winter is coming, the north wind is howling, and the Wulin bank across the river from Chibi, the warship is swaying, shaking with the wind.

There were also not enough wooden bolts on the shore to stabilize the tether of the warship, so Cao Cao ordered that the warships be chained together one by one, so that the warship could sway less and at the same time dock.

Three days later, midnight was approaching.

Cao Cao stood at one end of the warship, looking at the opposite bank, and suddenly, ten large warships came down from the upper reaches of the south bank, which were the warships of Jiangdong.

The cold wind blew, and Cao Cao unconsciously showed a knowing smile.

Yellow cover is coming!

Zhou Yu's strategy is very simple, it is a fire attack!

And does the fire attack need the east wind? The answer is not necessarily.

Ten huge warships, piled with firewood, hay, charcoal, and oil, then covered with black cloth, sailed from the south shore where Chibi was located to the north shore.

Cao Cao was full of ambition and had the chance to win.

Jiangdong's warships were getting closer and closer, and seeing that it was less than half a mile, the other party used torches to make the agreed flag, and Cao Cao almost wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.

Behind these ten warships, there were also many small boats, Huang Gai saw that Cao Jun did not suspect it, and immediately ordered the sails to be raised!

Because they were descending from upstream, the water propulsion, and the help of the sails, the ten warships suddenly increased their speed.

Standing at the stern of the boat, Huang Gai held the torch with a fierce gaze, and immediately ordered the soldiers to jump into the small boat behind after dropping the torch on the boat.

In the darkness of the night, the light of the campfires encamped on the north shore could not compare to the sky-high fires that broke out from these ten huge warships!

Cao Cao stood at the bow of the ship dumbfounded, as if ten big fireballs were rolling in, and in the blink of an eye, he crashed into Cao Jun's fleet on the north bank of the Wulin River!

Screams, screams, killings, drums, all resounding in the midnight sky!

"King Wei! It's dangerous here! ”

Someone on the left and right pulled Cao Cao to immediately walk down the warship that had not yet been ignited, and the fire spread rapidly, igniting the warship one by one.

On the riverside, the soldiers who were on fire on the boat fled for their lives and crashed into the tent on the shore, and the fire was one more vigorous!

The scene was chaotic, sparks splashed everywhere, not only the camp of the Cao army on the shore was ignited, but the fire ignited the woods of Ulin in an instant, and the screams of the Cao army were heard in the forest, and the 300,000 army collapsed in only a moment!

Chibi

Before Huang Gai set off, Zhou Yu ordered people to prepare large and small clippers, when the fire together, Sun and Liu allied forces took the fast boat to the opposite bank of Wulin, in the smoke of the fire, in the face of the collapsed Cao army, Zhou Yu took the lead in leading the army to rush and kill, unstoppable.

Cao Cao fled on horseback and led his troops under the cover of Cao Chunlejin and Li Tong.

Cao Cao, who was fleeing on a horse, looked back, under the night sky, the fire covered the sky, and the screams of the battle in the sea of fire made him feel the pain to the bone!

"Don't be ashamed to go!"

Cao Cao has rarely failed in his life, and today's defeat not only unexpected, but also caused a fear in his heart.

How similar is he to Yuan Benchu back then, who is fleeing for his life in embarrassment!!

The Sun-Liu coalition army found Cao Cao fleeing, so Zhou Yu ordered LΓΌ Fanding to command 50,000 soldiers and horses to continue to kill the enemy in the burning Wulin, and he personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses to pursue Cao Cao, and Liu Bei also took all 20,000 soldiers and horses to follow Zhou Yu to pursue Cao Cao at Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

At first, tens of thousands of soldiers fled with Cao Cao, but on the way to the west, people kept falling behind.

The route of Cao Cao's escape is clear at a glance, a straight line, that is, a shortcut, straight to Jiangling!

After escaping all night, seeing that dawn was approaching, Cao Cao panted and looked at the trail in front of him: Huarong Dao!

There were chasing soldiers behind him, Cao Cao couldn't afford to take the risk of detouring the long way, taking the Huarong Road to the nearest point, leading to Jiangling, and the reason why Cao Cao stopped his pace was that the road was muddy and difficult to walk, which was caused by the rain in recent days.

Fortunately, it is located in Huarong and there are houses nearby, so Cao Cao immediately ordered people to collect forage, and then let the soldiers carry the forage on their backs and start paving the road.

Cao Cao was in a hurry to flee for his life, and after paving a section of the road in front, he rode forward, but the people who came up from behind blocked the road, and the soldiers who paved the road died under the hooves of his own horses.

Covered with cold sweat, Cao Cao's eyes were gloomy, at this moment, he had only one thought in his heart, first flee back to Jiangling, and then regroup!

Most of the soldiers and horses he brought south brought were left in Jiangling led by Cao Ren, this defeat was the only defeat in his life, but the loss, whether it was strategic materials or soldiers and horses, would not cause him a nerve-wracking effect.

Sun Quan Xiaoer, Liu Bei dog thief! And that Zhou Yu!

Cao Cao was ruthless in his heart, bowing his head and galloping wildly, but suddenly, Cao Chun and Le Jin, who were on Cao Cao's left and right, stopped Cao Cao's war horse, and the remnants of the defeated army with only a few thousand troops left to stop again.

Huarong Road is about to come to an end, and the intersection of the small road becomes open.

When Cao Cao raised his head, his face was bloodless in shock.

The sun rises in the east, and the morning light is faintly bright.

At the end of Huarong Road, a black army blocked the crossing, and because of the dim vision, it was impossible to see whose soldiers and horses the other party was.

Cao Cao is like falling into an ice cellar.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he was shocked beyond measure.

The sun was bright, and the rising red sun brought light to the heavens and the earth, like a dividing line between day and night, and the dim scene in front of Cao Cao's eyes was gradually brightening.

The line of light gradually spread from Cao Cao's side, as if swallowing the darkness.

The light moved away, and it was reflected on the army that blocked the crossing.

In front of a man riding a horse, the light illuminated and slowly reflected his face.

The crotch of the war horse seemed to let out a roar of irritation from the alternation of darkness and light.

Silver light armor, with a sword on his waist, the man was not strong, his waist was stiff and straight, and his head was held high.

A calm and indifferent face, Sven Junlang, but his expression was extremely cold.

Cao Cao was speechless in shock, and under the light, the soldiers and horses fluttered in the wind, and the word "Guo" danced by the dragon and phoenix made him tremble!

A pair of eyes shone with a fierce light, and Guo Jia suddenly stared at Cao Cao with a hideous expression.

Behind him, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Guo Ye, Zhang Ren, Deng Zhi, and Zhang Yan stood side by side.

Its orderly crossbows were aimed at Cao Jun!
