At the end of the year, the day of the sun's life.

The sun is shining high, and the waves are sparkling, which is the scenery of Chrysostom. Xunyang dispelled the cold of the river to warm the body of Sergeant Cao Liu.

Inside the big tent, Huo Jun took off the big hat and tied a dark cloak on his shoulder. Walking along the sand table slightly, there are mistakes in thinking about the strategy.

Kan Ze walked into the tent and arched his hand and said: "Qiyu Dudu, today is the day of Yangsheng, and it will turn cold tomorrow." If according to the words of the wind in the yin and yang changes of the Dudu landscape, there should be a southeast wind tonight! ”

"Good!"

Huo Jun looked at the model of Cao's camp tent on the sand table, and said with a smile: "The summons ordered Xu Sheng to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, and today's battle is over." Call the generals and colonels into the account and obey the orders. He also ordered the rear battalion to prepare thatch, fire, and sulfur, and divide them among the departments after the military discussion. ”

"No!"

Deng Fan led several entourage sergeants out of the tent to convey Huo Jun's military orders to everyone.

Amid the sound of the drums, the generals arrived at the tent one after another, and they seemed to sense that the atmosphere was unusual.

Xu Sheng, who went out of the village to invite the battle, entered the account and said: "Dudu, Sheng went out of the village to fight today, no matter how our army insulted, Cao Cao's Shuizhai army did not move. In the past half a month, Cao's naval division has not fought a battle, and they have all closed their doors to build the slap pole and the things that connect the boat. ”

Huo Jun, who looked at the map, raised his head and said: "Cao Cao is the hero of the world, resourceful, although he is in Jianghan now, he doesn't know my Chu landscape, but the soldiers are still there, how can he be such a shallow strategy." ”

Saying that, Huo Jun let Xu Sheng take a seat, and said with a smile: "Let's wait for Yuzhou to reach the account, and then the governor will raise the account to break the enemy." ”

"Breaking the enemy?"

As soon as these words came out, most of the generals in the tent were puzzled, and then they talked about it again. Only a few henchmen such as Jiang Ji and Lu Su had a smile on their lips, as if they had known about Huo Jun's plan.

After a while, Liu Bei rarely changed into armor and stepped into the account.

"Yuzhou!"

"Zhong Miao!"

Huo and Liu saluted and said hello, that is, let the generals in the army sit separately and promote the army.

Huo Jun sat on the couch, looked around at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao entered Jianghan as far away, the army was damp, and he was trapped by the terrain, so he camped along the river. From the beginning of the 100-person mountain, to the state Lingchengguo, one hundred and thirty miles along the river, more than 100,000 troops, more than 70 battalions of Liantun. ”

"The sergeant in the front left his boat and camped in the mound forest; The central sailor built a water village and carried out the method of connecting boats; After the army, the dry land was settled, and there was little defense. Today, Cao Cao Degan and Yu Er's generals are already full of ambition, so there are words that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated! ”

"Tonight, on the day of the birth of the sun, our army is backed by the Tianyue Mountain, and when the yin and yang circulate, there will be a southeast gale. The governor wanted to practice the method of fire, and the soldiers of all the troops each held thatch, and hid fire and sulfur, and used fire as a soldier to break Cao Cao. ”

The generals were in high spirits, their expressions were solemn, and they arched their hands and said, "Please give orders to the governor!" ”

"Where are Gao Xiang, Xu Sheng, Wei Yan, Lu Meng, and Lu Yi?"

Cao Cao in order to avoid the wetness of Jiangyang, the boat was gone, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his tent entered the mountains of hundreds of people and the army, and because of the dense water network, he camped among the hills. At this time, the winter weather is cold and dry, and the grass and trees are flammable, so I order you to lead two thousand soldiers each, join forces of 10,000 people, raise troops, and take General Gao as the main officer, and Captain Lu as the staff, and burn down the enemy's front camp. ”

"No!"

The five of them stepped forward to give orders to each leader and retreated into the queue.

"Where is Yuzhou?"

"In!"

Huo Jun looked at Liu Bei and said: "When the water village is on fire, Yuzhou will lead Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Fu Wei and other 20,000 foot riders to cross the Yangtze River at night from Niekou upstream, burn the enemy camp, and raise troops to attack the camp. ”

"No!"

Liu Bei stepped forward, led the army in his hand, and asked: "In the upper reaches of the land, our army is outnumbered and has boats, how can we cross the river at night?" ”

Huo Jun smiled and said, "Jun has ordered General Yide to prepare in Nie Zhou, and Yuzhou led his troops to Nie Zhou's camp, and the detailed arrangements can be known. ”

Saying that, Huo Jun also advised: "The Cao camp in the state tomb, the camp is dangerous, and the Cao army is elite, so it is not easy to go down." Only Yuzhou and its soldiers and horses are brave and may be able to fight. And the water village fire, Yuzhou led the people to cross the Yangtze River at night, did its surprise, attacked its unpreparedness, cover or can be done. ”

"No!"

Liu Bei knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and he arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured that the governor will lead a sergeant to break through the state Lingcao camp." ”

Huo Jun bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "And order someone to send an order to General Xiakouguan to let him reorganize his army for battle tonight." If he gets the news of our army's victory, let him lead his sergeants to lead the sailors up the Shuojiang River to cut off the communication between the Seventh Army and Cao Cao's army. ”

"No!"

After a pause, Huo Jun looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "The two generals, Gan and Yu, were ordered by Jun to deceive Cao Cao. Tonight, if you see anyone with a sackcloth on his arm, he will be a soldier of our army, and he must not be killed by mistake. ”

With a sonorous sound, Huo Jun drew his sword and said vigorously: "The remaining troops will go out with this governor to fight against the enemy Koushui Village. There is a day outside today, and there is an internal response, and tonight's battle will win Cao Cao. ”

"Victory over Cao Cao!"

"Victory over Cao Cao!"

After shouting in unison, all the generals returned to the camp and straightened out the sergeants under the tent. According to the military order issued by Huo Jun, each received thatch, torches, and sulfur, and prepared ships for nightfall.

When the sergeants packed up their armor, Huo Jun inspected the departments and told the details. And Liu Bei led 20,000 foot cavalry and marched cautiously on the shore.

When he arrived at Nie Zhouying, Liu Bei had to meet Zhang Fei and know the detailed plan for crossing the river that Huo Jun said.

"Dredging Jinshui and Nie water, boating on dry land. Use a bamboo raft to cross the river and attack the state mausoleum camp at night. ”

Liu Bei stood on the Chicken Wing Mountain, also amazed by Huo Jun's thoughts.

The coalition forces and the Cao army fought on the river at the mouth of 'C', with Nie Zhou in the middle, and between the two arcs, there was actually a Nie water dredging communication. During the summer of the Yangtze River, the water level of the Yangtze River rises, and Nie Shui dredges the upper and lower arcs. In winter, the river drops, and the Nie water dries up, leaving only the river channel.

However, more than ten miles away from Nieshui, there is the Jinshui River, which originates from Jiyi Mountain and flows into the Yangtze River. Huo Jun asked Zhang Fei to dredge the rivers of Jin and Nie Ershui, and divert Jin water into Nie Water to flow into the Yangtze River.

Zhang Fei built a bamboo raft in the upper reaches of Jinshui, and with a small amount of river water, he also allowed the sergeants to push the bamboo raft on dry land, and was able to enter the Yangtze River at Niekou. In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the lower half of the arc, the coalition forces lacking boats conjured up a large number of bamboo rafts out of thin air, and they were still unaware of them.

With the night approaching, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Chen Zhi took advantage of the night to lead 20,000 cavalry to lurk in Niekou, opposite the compartment of the Cao army in the state tomb.

Not only was Liu Bei's army already in place, but under the cover of the night, the coalition army poured out, the sailors boarded the boat, the boat left the village, anchored the floating river, and disappeared into the night, waiting for Huo Jun's order.

The lights on the ship are bright, and the river reflects the red light, which is extremely brilliant. The sergeant stood with a bow and spear, and the flag was hunting.

Deng Fan heard the military reports from various ministries, and said: "Qiyu Governor, Yuzhou has come to report, and his ministry has been prepared; General Gao also came to report, saying that he had divided the 10,000 soldiers under his tent into ten parts, and they were already on the river, waiting for the order of the governor. ”

Huo Jun was wearing a big hat, and when he saw that the wind direction of the banner was changing, he commanded: "Order Ding Feng to lead the boat out, and outside the Cao Jun Water Village, a fire attack strategy can be carried out!" ”

"No!"

Bright torches are waved in the night, passing military orders.

Ding Feng was proud, carrying ten small boats carrying more than 100 thin-clothed sailors, each of whom carried an oil gourd on his waist and a fire fold tightly wrapped in an oilcloth.

In Cao Jun's big tent, Cao Cao, who was supposed to be asleep, listened to the cold wind whistling outside the tent and couldn't sleep.

By the candlelight, Cao Cao sat up, touched his palpitating chest, drank a bowl of warm water, and moistened his throat.

Then Cao Cao lay down again, pulled the quilt over and covered it, closed his eyes and closed it. However, listening to the cold wind outside the tent, Cao Cao was irritable and asked, "How is the wind tonight?" ”

The attendant replied, "Prime Minister, the wind is very strong tonight, and it is blowing from the southeast. ”

"Southeasterly gales?"

Cao Cao's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Wasn't it a breeze a few days ago?" How did it become a southeast gale? It's not spring and summer, so why do you suddenly have a southeast gale. ”

"Are you summoning the generals?" The squire asked.

"It's late tonight, what's the use of summoning the generals?" Cao Cao frowned, took off his robe and put it on, and said, "Pass the order to go down and carefully observe the river to see if there are any suspicious enemy ships." ”

"No!"

The retinue was ordered to go, ready to keep an eye on the scouts tonight.

However, at this moment, the hundreds of water guards on the river drank warm wine, and then under the leadership of Ding Feng, they 'pounced' a few times and jumped into the Yangtze River water in unison.

On the dark and hard-to-see river, more than 100 big gourds floated on the river, in the turbulent river, towards the brightly lit Cao Jun Water Village.

In the past few days, Huo Jun often sent people to fight outside the water village, and he had already explored the water village outside the Cao army. And these 100 sailors are all people who are good at swimming and holding their breath, they were selected by Huo Jun from the army, and they bought their lives with a lot of money as sailors and frogmen.

Frogmen have been fighting since ancient times, and in ancient times they may have been used to scuttle ships. In World War II, although the combat effectiveness of the Italian army was poor, the frogmen were outstanding. Two frogmen infiltrated the harbor and sank a British battleship.

Huo Jun used the frogman to carry crude oil into the village, making a good start for tonight's fire attack. As for where the crude oil came from, that is, Huo Jun got more than 20 jars of crude oil from Jiangdu in Guangling, and today he took out all of them and used them for fire attack.

They drove a small boat to the upper reaches of Cao's naval division and stopped at the middle of the Yangtze River. Then they carried a gourd with crude oil on their waists and infiltrated Cao Jun's water village. Crude oil is lighter than water, so they can borrow oil to save effort and swim down the river to Cao Jun Water Village.

The water village can not be blocked with wooden fences, mostly wooden piles into the water, paved for the road, and build a watchtower on it, watching the water situation.

On the vast surface of the Yangtze River, several small boats patrolled the river, as if they were probing the enemy on the river. However, on the dark river, there were no enemy ships. As for the river down, just by the lighting range of the torches, can An be able to see it?

Hundreds of frogmen passed through the patrolling boats under the river, and by the direction of the current, they slid down to the water village with little effort.

On the upper floor of the water village, several sailors condescended and looked at the river. In front of the camp gate, which was getting closer, they could faintly see a few black objects floating on the surface of the river by the faint light of the fire, and then disappear again.

"What's that?"

The sharp-eyed soldier asked, pointing to the shadows passing through the water gate.

The companion looked at it a few times, but found nothing, and said perfunctorily: "Maybe it's a big fish!" ”

"Big fish?"

The companion glanced at the man and said, "Under such a cold winter, and it is late at night, do you think it is human?" ”

"Yes!"

Although the soldier was skeptical, he didn't think much about it.

Sneaking into the village, Ding Feng emerged from the moored ship, removed the gourd from his waist, took out the wooden stopper, and carefully poured the crude oil from the upstream and let it float around the bottom of the ship.

Ding Feng looked up and saw that many frogmen and sailors had taken out the fire fold from the sealed oilcloth and lit it.

"Whew!"

The fire fold was ignited and thrown far away by Ding Feng on the crude oil floating on the surface of the river. With a 'bang', the crude oil ignited at the touch of a button, and the red fire reflected Ding Feng's face and began to devour the ship.

Not only Ding Feng, but also dozens of fires ignited out of thin air from the pitch-black water village, and with the help of the southeast wind, they began to devour the Cao Jun Sailor warships that were connected from end to end.

"Let's go!"

Ding Feng felt the scorching fire source and hurriedly dived into the river. His mission is accomplished, and the rest is up to the others.

The sailor Dazhai caught fire for no reason, and then devoured the warship. Cao Jun's water guards shouted 'go to the water', and the entire water village began to be in initial chaos.

"Governor, Cao Jun's water village is on fire!"

The flames were obtained by the scouts, and then passed on layer by layer and sent to Huo Jun's ears.

"Haha!"

"Today I want Cao Cao to know the benefits and disadvantages of my Huo Jun."

Huo Jun saw the banner that had been swept up by the southeast wind, laughed and drew his sword, and shouted: "Order the whole army to break through the Cao army." ”

"No!"

"Knock~"

"Knock~"

The drums of marching sounded on the ships of the naval division, and hundreds of warships came to life, like a fire dragon cruising on the river, sailing and sailing, and rushing straight to the camp of Cao's army.
