Chapter 1652 Fire Attack
Zhou Yu attempted to design that Cao Shu connects the warships, but Cao Shu saw through it.
Cao Cao, who was in Xiangyang, received the latest battle reports sent from the coast of Chibi almost every day.
Sitting in the study and reading the new battle report, Cao Cao handed it to Xun Yu who was sitting facing each other: "If it were me, I would have been fooled. Fortunately, Zi Rong went there."
After receiving the letter, Xun Yu said in surprise after reading it: "I didn't even understand Gongda, but the eldest son saw through it..."
"Recently, I have realized that it is a wise choice to let Zirong be the crown prince." Cao Cao said: "As long as he is here, the Cao family will definitely be able to unify the world in the future."
"What Cao Gong said is that in fact many people feel this way." Xun Yu replied: "The eldest son will definitely be able to support the Han Dynasty in the future and revitalize the Han Dynasty's magnitude."
"Wen Ruo is saying." Cao Cao nodded with a smile.
"The Cao Gong's family is loyal and righteous. With the support of the Cao family, the Han Dynasty will surely be in peace and stability." Xun Yu stood up and bowed to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao just smiled but didn't say anything.
Since the edict of robbery, he has seen through many things.
Originally, Cao Cao also thought that when the world was unified and he would return all the military power to the Han Dynasty. However, after that incident, he realized that if he really returned all the power in his hands in the future, he might return it the day before, and the next day he would have his head to the ground.
The great achievements shocked the Lord, and the little emperor of the Han family would not allow him to live.
Cao Cao had many staff members and generals, but they were all loyal to Cao Cao. Only Xun Yu always thought about restoring the might of the Han Dynasty.
With Xun Yu by his side, Cao Cao really couldn't have made too outrageous actions.
Otherwise, just the matter of the robbery would be enough to make Liu Xie die thousands of times...
Cao Cao, who was in charge of Xiangyang, praised Cao Shu in front of Xun Yu, and Cao Shu also received the news from Huang Gai at this time.
Standing by the river and looking at the letters sent by Huang Gai, Cao Shu glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth and tore the letters apart.
"What is the young master doing?" Sima Yi, who was standing beside him, asked, "How did you tear up the letter written by Huang Gai?"
"I know I didn't really apply for it and the plan was about to end, so what should I keep his letters?" Cao Shu asked with a smile: "Stay here to remember?"
"What did Huang Gai say? The young master decided that he wanted to implement the plan?" Sima Yi asked.
"He said in the letter that he originally intended to make an incident, but he was discovered by Zhou Gongjin." Cao Shu said: "The matter failed, and he asked to come to Cao's family to seek asylum."
"It seems they really need to do something." Sima Yi nodded and said.
"It's time to act." Cao Shuo raised his arm and raised it over the top, feeling the wind passing by his palm and said: "The south wind has been blowing in recent days, and Zhou Gongjin is waiting for the south wind. We have been stationed here for a long time, and the day of the general attack is coming."
"Zhongda, send the order." He ordered Sima Yi: "Once there is a small boat or a small boat coming here on the other side, report it to me immediately."
"I've recorded it." Sima Yi replied.
At this time, in Jiangdong, the place where Huang covered it.
Zhou Tai stood respectfully in front of Huang Gai.
"The day to defeat Cao's army is finally coming." Huang Gai asked him, "Did the Grand Governor say anything?"
"I said it." Zhou Tai said: "He asked the veteran general to take care of it. When the veteran general returns, he will personally deliver the wine to express his merits."
"As long as we can break the Cao family's army, whether Gongjin will perform his merits with wine is a trivial matter." Huang Gai said: "I only hope that Jiangdong can win this battle and that Jiangdong Sun family can survive this crisis."
"With the Grand Commander and the Old General, there will be no trouble in Jiangdong." Zhou Tai said with his fist: "I wish the Old General the ship will be successful!"
"Thank you, General Zhou!" Huang Gai bowed his hand and replied, then greeted a group of soldiers and headed to the riverside.
On the riverside, dozens of small boats were covered with linen.
Under the linen are covered with straw soaked with oil.
As long as there is a slight spark, these straws will immediately burn and become a raging fire.
Huang Gai boarded a small boat and stood at the bow of the boat and looked at Cao Jun Water Village on the opposite shore.
Cao's army warships were stacked in layers, and at first glance, they could not count how many were there.
"General, you are ready." The soldier on the same boat as him clasped his fists.
He pointed forward and Huang Gai said, "Let's go."
Huang Gai led dozens of small boats to the north bank of the river, and Cao Shu quickly got the news.
He asked Huang Zhong to lead the Sci-She Camp to the riverside.
Pointing at dozens of small boats that were almost at the center of the river, Cao Shu asked Huang Zhong: "General Huang, can the Shixi Camp hit the small boat coming from here?"
"It's a bit far away." Huang Zhong said: "I can, but the soldiers may not do it."
"If General Huang shoots arrows, how long will it take to hit them all?" Cao Shuo asked again.
"It's just a few breaths." Huang Zhong said.
"Then ask the old general to shoot a burning arrow on each small boat." Cao Shuo said: "No need to shoot people, just shoot the linen on the boat."
"Get the bow and arrow!" Huang Zhong shouted behind him.
A sharpshooter officer handed over the arrows in his hands, causing a man to light a fire on the arrow wrapped in a linen.
With an arrow on the string, Huang Zhong aimed at the small boat that took the lead.
On the small boat he was aimed at, Huang Gai was anxiously looking forward to the boat that could only go faster.
As long as he gets closer, he can ignite the straw on the ship and crash into the Cao army warship opposite.
At this moment, he suddenly found an arrow burning with flames flying from the other side.
The moment he saw the arrow, Huang Gai shouted: "Not good!"
As soon as the shout fell, the arrow had hit the linen on the ship.
Before the soldiers came forward to extinguish the fire, the flames spread instantly, and Huang Gai and the soldiers were immediately engulfed by the fire.
Immediately afterwards, several burning rockets flew over and hit several small boats in an impartial manner.
Although it was the south wind, no one rowed the combustible boat and was moving very slowly.
When the last ship was ignited, the first one that burned was burned was burned and was immersed in the cold river water.
"Take the catapult cart to adjust." Pointing at dozens of small boats burning in the middle of the river, Cao Shu shouted: "Smash the stones there, don't let a living person go ashore!"
The catapult cart, which had already adjusted the projection distance, quickly emitted a roar of ejection, and countless arrows flew towards the middle of the river.
The place where the flames are burning, countless huge waves are stirred up by huge rocks.
Looking at this scene, Cao Shu curled his lips and said to Sima Yi and others beside him: "Huang Gai also wants to come to lie to me, but he didn't know that the price of lying to me would be death!"
"If it weren't for the young master, our army would probably suffer a big loss this time." Sima Yi clasped his fists and said, "Fortunately, the young master saw through their conspiracy."
