Chapter 36: The Flames Rise

"The east wind has risen, pass on my order, the whole army will fight, everyone will board the ship, and launch a general attack with General Huang's signal ~~!"

Zhou Yu first pressed the killing intent in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, all the soldiers moved.

At the same time, Wulin Caoying, seeing the change in wind direction, Cheng Yu was even more anxious like ants in a hot pot.

Really, he also understands that the matter has come to this point, like riding a tiger, and like an arrow on the string that has to be sent.

Although Cao Cao also felt bad in his heart at the moment, he couldn't wait any longer, the more he delayed the time, the more disadvantageous it would be for him, and he had to take Dongwu as soon as possible.

"Pass my order, everyone board the ship and prepare for the general attack."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

As the minutes passed, the two armies anxiously waiting were quiet and depressed, and a murderous aura rose above the river, making people feel that their breathing was not so smooth.

In such a tense pre-war atmosphere, the sky gradually darkened, Huang Gai sailed the ten charged warships out of the camp, and he and Zhao Yi each led one and began to sail towards Cao Ying.

At this time, the southeast wind was strong, and the ships went down the wind and approached Cao Ying at a very fast speed.

On the boat where Zhao Yi was, four of the ten big-headed soldiers under him stood on the bow of the ship with explosion-proof shields, and the other six were hiding behind with rifles, and he himself was also with a pistol and a knife in the other, with a cold murderous aura on his face, where was there still the elegance that a half-cent military division should have?

Sun Shangxiang was left in the camp by him, although Zhao Yi was full of confidence in this battle, but he was not arrogant enough to take a woman into battle to kill the enemy, if the eldest lady had a good one, even if this battle was won, he would probably be chopped into pieces of meat by Sun Quan.

"Brothers~ all cheer me up, after this battle, you and I will be famous all over the world~!"

Zhao Yi finally poured a bowl of poisonous chicken soup into his soldiers, and saw that Huang Gai on the other side had already shot the signal arrow into the air, which was the number of surrender he agreed with Cao Cao, which also indicated that Cao's army was about to attack.

Sure enough, Cao Cao was in good spirits after seeing Huang Gai's signal.

"The whole army will attack and kill the enemy bravely!"

Under Cao Cao's orders, all the soldiers moved, rowing boats, drawing bows, and even generals running back and forth on the deck of the ship on horseback, mobilizing manpower.

It was only the sudden southeasterly wind that blew the sails of the ship, which slowed them down a lot.

On the other side, after giving the signal, Huang Gai decisively ordered his subordinates to set fire to the nine assault warships, and then retreat.

The assault boat, which was filled with hay and poured gasoline, sulfur and other ignitions, suddenly ignited a raging fire when it touched some sparks.

At this moment, it was a strong southeast wind, and the speed of the assault boat was faster than usual, and from a distance, it looked like nine fireballs crashing into Cao's fleet on the river.

"What!?"

Seeing this, Cao Cao's heart tightened violently, and at this moment he already knew that he had been tricked.

"Shoot the arrows! Stop those ships and don't let them rush into the marching formation! ”

Cao Cao said simply, and the nine assault boats that were on fire could be stopped by firing arrows?

Seeing the fire, Huang Gai decisively led people to jump into the river, but Zhao Yi's assault boat did not ignite at the same time as Huang Gai, he also wanted to sail closer, it was best to directly crash into Cao Cao's commander warship and capture Cao Cheng's prime minister alive, so as to make immortal achievements.

"Paddle to the side, and don't let those sparks splash on our boat."

Zhao Yi commanded Ma Liu and the others to move the boat away, he looked at the gap between Cao Jun's big ships, and took advantage of the opportunity that the other party's attention was attracted by the fireboat and the line of sight was poor.

At the same time, the big ships were hit by the assault boats with yellow covers, and the hull of the ships shifted and shook significantly, and the fire borrowed the wind, and the wind helped the fire, and the big ships that stopped at the front were soon ignited by the fire.

While most of Cao's attention was focused on the burning warship, Zhou Yu's army had also launched a general attack at the same time.

Zhao Yi's small boat swayed, shuttling back and forth between many behemoths, looking for his goal.

After a while, there was a shout of killing behind Zhao Yi, that is, Zhou Yu's vanguard had already exchanged hands with Cao Jun.

He didn't pay attention to the frontal battlefield, and only focused on finding his prey, Cao Agui.

Suddenly, Zhao Yi looked stunned and overjoyed, because he saw a big ship with the handsome flag of "Cao", the footsteps on the boat were chaotic, and a group of generals in armor were retreating backwards.

"Hahaha~~ My Prime Minister Cao Cheng, my military exploits in walking~~ Lao Tzu finally found you~! Brothers, board the ship, light the fire~! ”

Locking on his target, Zhao Yi ordered everyone to stop the boat, using the ropes and hooks that had been built in advance to connect the ship with Cao Cao's big ship.

They maintained their formation and began to climb towards Cao Cao's big ship, and when they were halfway up, Ma Liu took out a fire fold and threw some sparks down with his mouth.

With a "boom", the assault boat immediately ignited, and a scorching fireball rose in Cao Jun's abdomen.

"How can there be a fire here? The enemy still has assault boats!? Put out the fire, everyone hurry up and put out the fire for me! ”

Yu Ban held a long sword in his hand, and was anxiously directing the soldiers to fetch water to extinguish the fire, but he didn't expect to be killed, and the front was just burned, how could this Cao Cao's commander warship be hit by a burning warship? How did the ship get in?

"Prime Minister! Please retreat into the water village first, the boat is not safe! ”

Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were protected in front of Cao Cao on the left and right, and at this time, Prime Minister Cao Cheng did not have the ability to retreat under the escort of the general, at least to leave the ship.

But at this moment, Cao Cao saw that on the edge of the darkness illuminated by the firelight, several figures quickly climbed onto the deck, a few people in front of him held up a transparent thing that looked like a shield, and a few people in the back held weapons like wooden sticks aimed at him.

At this moment, he seemed to remember something, didn't he see this strange thing in Nagasakapo a while ago? Could it be him?

Cao Cao had a scene on the Changban Slope in his mind, which was the strange scene of Zhao Yi and Zhao Yun killing seven in and seven out of the chaotic army, and it was also a terrifying scene where a husband on the Dangyang Bridge was in charge and could not be opened.

"He? That Zhao Yi and Zhao Hongfei who can use demon magic? ”

Cao Cao's surprise was not trivial, but Zhao Yi didn't give him much time to be surprised.

At this moment, his ten-man squad had already boarded Cao Cao's commander's warship, and in the face of his prey, the corners of our imposter strategist's mouth curled, revealing an evil smile and said, "Shoot!" ”

"Bang Bang~"

Ma Liu and the others, who had already undergone preliminary shooting training, pulled the trigger one after another, and in a burst of firelight, the soldiers gathered in front of Cao Cao screamed and fell to the ground.

"Protect the Prime Minister! Shield soldiers~~~ Protect the Prime Minister! ”

Under the command of Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, rows of soldiers with wooden shields stood in front of Cao Cao and the others.

On Zhao Yi's side, the rifles in the soldiers' hands could be ten shots in a row, and when they pulled the trigger continuously, those sluggish Cao soldiers didn't have time to put up a defensive posture before they were shot and fell to the ground.

"Shoot the arrows! The archers let go of their arrows and killed these men! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Liao shouted as he snatched the bow and arrow of a crossbowman and shot it out with a bow.

The whizzing arrows slammed into the transparent shield and bounced away, failing to nail it, let alone penetrate it.

Zhang Liao was shocked in his heart and blurted out: "What is that shield made of, so hard?" ”

In the face of the sporadic arrows fired by Cao Jun, the wide explosion-proof shields on all sides protected several people in them, and the arrows fell on them with a clanging sound, unable to penetrate their defenses at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi took advantage of the chaos to take out a round thing from the warehouse, opened the ring, and shouted to the front with a smile: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng~~~ Don't come to Nagasaka to be harmless~~ Remember my name, Lao Tzu's name is Zhao Yi, and I will take your life today~!" ”

As soon as Zhao Yi's words fell, the round metal thing in his hand had been thrown into the air by him and fell into the crowd in front of Cao Cao.
