Chapter 183: Burning Yourself

Zhou Yu smiled proudly: "We have been in Jiangdong for a long time, and we built a water village in Weixu a few years ago, how can we not know the surrounding geographical advantages?" At that time, I will have my own guide to lead the way, straight to the back of Qibao Mountain, and when I burn the pontoon, I will also divide my troops to help in the battle. ”

Liu Qi nodded and said: "Since there is a guide to respond, Xishan Cao Jun will hand it over to me!" ”

Zhou Yu was the first-class commander in the Three Kingdoms period, and he would never take it for granted when he used troops to strategize, and now it was the time to break Cao's army, so he didn't need to trap his allies.

At that moment, it was agreed that the troops would march in two days, and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses crossed the river into Qibao Mountain overnight, and when they saw that they were on fire, they went to the robbery camp.

Here, Zhou Yu will divide the troops, Liu Qi also returned to the camp to prepare, and everyone saw that he was also going to fight, and they dissuaded him one after another, so he didn't have to go over the mountains and mountains, and there was a fight, so that he didn't have to take risks in person.

Liu Qi was helpless in his heart, in the eyes of these people, he was still a son of a family, pampered, and powerless.

Just as he was about to distinguish a few words, Ji Miao came over directly with a medicine jar: "General, it's time to take medicine!" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The general's body has not recovered for a long time, and when he is still recuperating, he doesn't have to work hard to recruit himself, just wait for good news here." ”

"Uh......" Liu Qi was helpless, took the medicine bowl and took a sip, and said: "In this case, Zilong and I stayed in the camp. Zixiong, Hansheng, and Xingba led the troops, and Yuan Zhi accompanied the army staff and acted when he saw the opportunity. ”

Liu Pan and the three of them received the order and went to prepare, only waiting for Zhou Yu's guide to send them, and then sent troops overnight.

After Liu Qi drank the medicine, he smacked his lips and felt that something was wrong: "Mr. Ji, this medicine has not tasted bitter recently, how can it be a little fishy?" ”

On this trip to Jiangdong, Liu Qi specially brought a doctor, not only to recuperate for himself, but also to prevent accidents, and the diet of several important people was personally inquired about by Ji Miao.

Even if there is a person who is not accustomed to water and soil, has a headache and brain fever, there is a famous doctor by his side, and he is much more down-to-earth.

Ji Miao was packing up the medicine box, paused slightly, and sighed: "The virus in the general's body has been completely cleared, and now all the drugs prescribed are tonics, including tiger bones, deer blood, etc., although there is a slight fishy smell, but it can replenish essence and strengthen muscles and bones, this is the prescription prescribed by my father for Cao Thief back then......"

Liu Qi understood as soon as he heard it, as far as Lao Cao's hobby, if he didn't prescribe some aphrodisiac/yang tonics, he really couldn't hold it, no wonder he always slept and set up a tent recently!

Ji Miao saw that Liu Qi didn't speak, and hurriedly explained: "General rest assured, this medicine is not harmful, although it has the power of aphrodisiac, but as long as the general practices martial arts diligently and consumes essence, it will be fine." ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "I don't suspect Mr., I just thought that Imperial Doctor Ling Zunji was killed by a thief, it's a pity, if it wasn't for the villain's leakage, the body of the thief would have already rotted." ”

Ji Miao said: "My two brothers fled to the rivers and lakes, enduring humiliation and stealing their lives, just to one day slash traitors, in order to comfort my father's soul in the sky, and pass on the family medical skills to help more sick people." ”

"Don't worry, I'm helping him do what Doctor Ji hasn't done!" Liu Qi smiled coldly, "As for the inheritance of medical skills, as long as the medical school is successfully opened, it will be able to recruit a wide range of disciples, and the world will be full of peach and plums." ”

"How dare you!" Ji Miao hugged his fists and said: "My father is loyal to the Han family, and it is enough to follow the general to revive the Han family!" ”

At this time, Cao Cao was walking on the pontoon bridge with all the civil and military forces, and the big ship was connected by iron cables, although the wind and waves fluctuated slightly, but it was very stable and did not affect the action.

Cao Cao personally walked around the horse twice, praised again and again, and ordered the navy to also use chain boats, five or six small boats, and three or four large boats, locked together for the training of the navy.

Xun You returned with him, but said worriedly: "The ship is connected by iron cables, if the thief attacks with fire, it is difficult to untie it for a while, how to avoid it?" ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed: "The village is in Dongshan, now there is only the east wind, if Zhou Lang Xiaoer uses fire to attack, I first use fire arrows on the village, and before the Wu army approaches, its ship has been on fire, and it is to set fire to burn itself, what are you afraid of??" ”

"Prime Minister!" Xun You was relieved at this time, and said: "Dongwu saw that I was building a bridge by boat, and the traffic was dry and drought, so I would definitely come to fight, and I would prepare quite early." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "What Gongda said is very true, I have sent someone to Liyang yesterday and ordered Cao Ren to lead the troops to come. As long as Zhou Lang dares to move troops, he will intercept him in two ways, even if he burns this wet water village, I will also take Zhou Yu's camp. Then I crossed the river by chain boat and went south, which was like a chicken rib for me, and it didn't matter. ”

After the successful pontoon test, Cao Jun built a chain of boats overnight, and the next day he couldn't wait to train the troops, Cao Xiu led the water army, Xiahou Dun led the infantry, and Le Jin led the Xishanzhai cavalry, and the water and land responded, and the drums were endless.

Cao Cao stood on the pontoon warship, stroked his beard to watch the drill, and looked south from time to time, both for training the troops and to attract Zhou Yu to attack.

Although there are serial ships to stabilize the morale of the army, the rainy season is approaching, and if we cannot win again, we can only withdraw the army, and we must decide the victory as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, suddenly the drums in the village were loud, Cao Xiu sent someone to report, and the Wu army took advantage of the fog to sneak attack.

Cao Cao didn't care, at this time the army had already prepared fire arrows, no matter whether the enemy came to borrow arrows or attack the camp, the gains would outweigh the losses.

A quarter of an hour later, before the drums ceased, the soldiers came again to tell the enemy, and a fire broke out along the coast, and the river was filled with smoke, and the enemy ships could not be seen clearly.

Cao Cao expected that this must be Zhou Yu's attack, and ordered someone to send an order to Xishan, asking Le Jin to lead the cavalry to come, and the whole army was ready to face the enemy.

As soon as he was dressed up and ready to go out, he saw Cao Xiu breaking in in embarrassment, and exclaimed: "Prime Minister, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, ......fire,

Cao Cao said coldly: "Don't I know that there is fire? This fire is burning the Jiangdong Water Army, why should you panic? ”

Cao Xiu hurriedly said: "The fire is coming ashore!" ”

"No way, no way!" Cao Cao waved his hand and walked out of the account quickly, and the whole person froze.

I saw that in front of the water village, the flames formed a wall of fire, which was spreading to the village, the smoke was billowing out, the smoke was burning, and the people and horses kept retreating, and they were in a mess.

At this time, it was foggy time, there was no wind in the canyon, and the fire burned out, forming tornadoes, and the flames were flying around.

"This?!" Cao Cao's face was full of disbelief: "The enemy ship has not approached yet, how can you use fire arrows to burn your own camp?" ”

"It's a straw boat!" Cao Xiu pointed ahead and paused: "The Wu army quickly pushed the grass boat to the front, but the navy drove the boat away, and the grass was dumped on the shore, and the fire spread. ”

There was a muffled sound in the distance, and Cao Cao looked up and saw that in the direction of the upstream, there were countless ships full of hay breaking through the fog and coming quickly.

These boats had already been ignited by the fire arrows, burning with raging fire, and crashed into the shore with a bang, and the firewood and grass were knocked into the air, and a large spark exploded in the air and flew straight into the village.

Some of the ships were so violently impacted that they flew directly into the water in the huge waves, crashed into the village, and the hull of the ship toppled over, like an overturned brazier, and the soldiers could not dodge, let alone fight the fire.

"Grass boat...... Grass-" Cao Cao was furious, the situation was unexpected, and he hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat.
