The night hangs down the river, the night is dark, the river is pitch black, and only a few sparks can be seen on the north bank.

Zhou Yu's mood was just as depressed as this quiet night, he stood on the dock with his sword, and looked up at the handsome flag standing on the shore from time to time, the huge Zhou character was lifeless and shrugged there, Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning.

Although he is familiar with military books and is full of strategy, he does not know much about the yin and yang celestial phenomena, although Pang Tong swore that there will be a southeast wind tonight, but seeing that it has passed the second watch, there is no sign of wind at all, not only there is no southeast wind, but even the northwest wind that is usually seen every day is gone. No, the northwest wind is useless, if you want to blow, you must blow the southeast wind, and only the southeast wind can help him Zhou Yu to achieve this immortal feat.

"Shi Yuan, have you really calculated accurately, there will definitely be a southeast wind tonight?" Zhou Yu lowered his voice and said to Pang Tong beside him.

Pang Tong was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "Rest assured, there will be a southeast wind to help tonight, at this time, the second watch of the day, the unification can not be calculated that the wind will come, if not, you can cut off the head of the commander to sacrifice the wind." ”

Zhou Yu has no words, he really doesn't have this rare head, even if the east wind does not arrive tonight, Zhou Yu will never want his head, but if there is really no wind, it will disappoint Zhou Yu. The previous plan Zhou Yu can be said to be racking his brains with all his might, and the failed discordant plan made Zhou Yu unwilling, not that he was incompetent, but that the opportunity was not too coincidental, Cai Mao's book was only a little bit worse, so he missed the best opportunity. But the bitter meat plan can be described as a stroke of genius, and it is also Zhou Yu's most conceited and proud work. With such a good strategy, no matter how smart Liu Ze is, he may not be able to understand the mystery. As long as the east wind is together, Huang Gai's twenty fireboats can rush into the Jingjun Water Village, and even if Liu Ze has the help of the gods, he will not be able to escape.

East wind, what Zhou Yu is most eager for now is the east wind, without the east wind, every qiē is empty talk, no east wind. All his efforts will be in vain. It is said that man will conquer the sky, but if God is unwilling to help, how can he succeed. Zhou Yu closed his eyes and secretly prayed in his heart. May Heaven bless. Give it the east wind. Don't let it fail.

"The wind is up—the wind is up—" Zhou Yu's entourage called out happily.

Zhou Yu opened his eyes and saw that the handsome flag really floated to the northwest, and at first he only slightly lifted the corner of the flag. After a short while, there was a strong wind and rough waves on the river.

"Come on, bring Cai Zhong Cai He!" Zhou Yu's face sank like water, and he drank the order to bring Cai Zhong and Cai He up.

Cai Zhong Cai He came to the Dongwu camp, and only secretly passed the news to Jiangbei once or twice, that is, the news that Huang Gai was beaten by Zhou Yu, after which Zhou Yu ordered to strengthen the defense along the river, and the two had no chance to report the news to Jiangbei. Just when they were in a panic, they heard Zhou Yu's summons, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went to the handsome tent to pay respects.

"Is the governor going to march to Jiangbei to avenge my brother?" Seeing Dongwu's posture, even a fool understood what Zhou Yu meant, although Cai Zhong was emotional, he also asked cautiously.

Zhou Yu smiled coldly and said: "Yes, the governor of Pontus will cross the Yangtze River in person today and fight a decisive battle with Liu Ze in Chibi, but when the army goes out, there is still a lack of a sacrificial flag, and if this flag is not sacrificed well, it may be difficult to succeed." ”

"I wonder what the governor lacks?"

"Your two heads!"

Cai Zhong Cai He was so frightened that his face was like earth, his head was like pounding garlic, and he said in a loud voice: "The two of us sincerely serve the governor, and they have no ambitions, and I hope that the governor will be enlightened." ”

Zhou Yu sneered: "The two of you were assigned by Liu Ze to come to deceive and surrender, how can you hide from the eyes of the governor." Let's tell you the truth, since the two of you defected, all your every move is under the control of this governor, Huang Gai was tortured, if it wasn't for this governor's instructions, how would you two reveal this news to Liu Ze. Speaking of which, the governor would also like to thank you two, if it weren't for the two of you to report the news, how could Liu Ze easily accept Huang Gai's deception, and the two of you would be indispensable. ”

Cai Zhongcai looked at each other, daring to love Zhou Yu had long been suspicious, his actions had already fallen into Zhou Yu's eyes, but they were used by Zhou Yu, and they couldn't help but regret the false news, and just begged for mercy: "The two of us have a blood feud with Liu Ze for killing my brother, but Liu Ze coerced my family to be small, so I had to beg the governor for forgiveness." ”

Zhou Yu was unmoved, and snorted coldly: "Helping to abuse and acting for the tiger, how can you spare your life." Come on, Cai Zhongcai and behead the sacrificial flag! ”

There is no distinction between the left and right, and when he stepped forward, he grabbed Cai Zhongcai He, and with two "clicks", the two heads rolled down, and blood flowed all over the ground.

After sacrificing the handsome flag, Zhou Yu ordered Huang Gai to march immediately. Huang Gai was already waiting by the river, and when he saw that the east wind was rising, the order of the Governor Army had been issued, and he immediately set sail north and went away from the Jingjun Water Village. At this time, the waves on the river were turbulent, the waves hit a thousand layers, Huang Gai stood on the first boat, full of equipment, armor covered the body, holding a ring-headed knife upside down, and the face sank like water. Twenty clippers are full of sails, riding the wind and waves, and moving forward bravely.

At midnight, Huang Gai's fleet was not far from the Jing army, but on the end of the moon, there were only stars in the sky, and there was no other light. The other party quickly responded, the same three bright and three dark, which is the code agreed by both parties.

A moment later, the gate of Jingjun Water Village creaked open, Huang Gai was overjoyed, and said secretly: "All the governors are planning to become successful!" "Twenty clippers were ordered to rush in and enter the Jingjun Water Village.

Huang Gai looked at it coldly, the ships of the Jing army in the water village were all thirty or twenty large ships connected, forty or fifty small boats were connected, arranged in an orderly manner, and the momentum was majestic, and it was indeed a series of plans offered by Pang Tong, Huang Gai smiled secretly: "Pang Shiyuan is really a good plan, wait for a fire to start, and the Jing army has no hope of escaping!" ”

Someone on the boat shouted: "But General Huang Gai?" On the order of King Jing, please ask General Huang Gai to lead the ship to the shore and then go ashore to see the driver! ”

Huang Gai sneered twice, and did not reply, but ordered his subordinates to scatter the twenty clippers, each of them aimed at the target and rushed up quickly, and ignited at the same time when there were still more than ten zhang away from the Jing military ship.

Once ignited, with the help of the southeast wind, the bow flame immediately rose several feet high, and the originally pitch-black river was as bright as day, and the flames were soaring, and the smoke rose to the sky.

The warships of the Jing army were all connected by iron cables, and at this time the fireboats collided with them, and there was no way to avoid them, and they were soon set on fire, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind, and in a blink of an eye, the river was red.

At this time, Gan Ning was still in the water village, according to Liu Ze's order, as early as a day ago, the water army soldiers had withdrawn two-thirds of the number, and there were only about one-third of the troops in the water village at present, although it was already expected, but Gan Ning witnessed the water village being engulfed in flames, or his heart ached, so many warships were burned, how Gan Ning was willing to rest, hated so much.

After the fire broke out, Wang Wei was already directing the remaining officers and soldiers to retreat, but the fire came too quickly, and many soldiers who had not had time to retreat were burned by the flames, crying out for help in pain, and the situation was unbearable. Wang Wei hurriedly persuaded Gan Ning: "Gandudu quickly withdraw, this fire is ruthless, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”

Gan Ning was about to withdraw and walked away, when he saw the yellow cover in the firelight. Although the fire boat that Huang Gai was riding only lit the first half, and taking advantage of the southeast wind, the flames were rushing forward, and the position behind the boat was not yet on fire, but this could only be temporary, and the fire all over the ship still spread quickly, and Huang Gai and others were in the stern, and there was no place for them.

At this time, Chen Wu led the fleet to catch up, at this time the river was red, as bright as day, although the smoke was billowing, but Chen Wu still saw Huang Gai from a distance, and saw that Huang Gai was in a critical situation, so he ordered the ship to quickly move towards Huang Gai, and shouted: "General Huang hurry up and get on the boat." ”

Huang Gai stood on the side of the boat, the fire was already engulfing the whole clipper, Chen Wu's boat came over, Huang Gai was eager to jump off the ship to escape, the two boats were seven or eight feet apart, if in normal times, this distance Huang Gai only had to shout loudly, and jump hard, enough to jump over. However, due to Huang Gai's back injury, as soon as Fang exerted his strength, he felt that his back hurt uncontrollably, and he had no strength to jump over at all, so Chen Wu hurriedly ordered the boat to lean over a little more.

Just when Huang Gai hesitated, Gan Ning over there had already drawn a bow and arrow, aiming at Huang Gai's heart. Gan Ning's archery skills can be described as amazing, one bow and three arrows to put the red heart's stunt in the world is unmatched, at this time he did not use three arrows to plan, only one arrow, its accuracy can be imagined.

Chen Wu's boat leaned over a little more, only three or four feet away from Huang Gai, Huang Gai jumped and jumped towards the opposite boat, but Gan Ning's arrow caught up faster, and one arrow hit Huang Gai in the back of the heart. Gan Ning's strength is great, making it a four-stone bow, which is twice as powerful as the two-stone longbow used by ordinary soldiers, although Huang Gai is wearing protective armor, but Gan Ning's arrow is fast and accurate, penetrating Huang Gai's thick armor, and accurately sinking into his heart.

Huang Gai snorted, and directly fell into Chen Wu's arms, Chen Wu was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Public over-public over-" But Huang Gai was already silent and died.

Gan Ning succeeded with one shot, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, the fire was already burning, and if he didn't leave, he would really be buried in the fire. Gan Ning put away his bow and led his troops to retreat from the safe passage that had been planned earlier. (To be continued......)
