Chapter 142 Dongfeng Assisted

A general next to him stood up and asked, "Governor, should we send someone to surrender first, just like the old general Huang..."

"Do you think Zhuge Liang is a fool? When General Huang used his bitter plan, Zhuge Liang was also present. Do you think he could deceive Zhuge Liang? This bitter plan can only be used once, and if it is twice, it won't work!" Bu Zhi said.

"But the Governor, it was because of General Huang's hard work that the fire ship in front could approach Cao Cao's naval camp."

"Then let's use more fire boats to rush. Let's prepare 200 boats. As long as 30 to 40% of them can rush to the Han naval camp, we will win!"

...

There are few people in the world who can calculate the time of heaven. In the past, Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui liked to study similar five elements, and among the students of Lumen, Zhuge Liang studied this the most profoundly. Even Pang Tong was far inferior to Zhuge Liang in this regard.

Although Bu Zhi is talented, Bu Zhi can't predict when the east wind will be there. So Bu Zhi can only order people to prepare the things that cause fire first and wait until the east wind comes before starting the attack.

During the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang told Zhou Yu to borrow the east wind to prepare for the battle. In addition, Huang Gai's bitter plan made the attack very sudden and eventually successfully burned Red Cliffs.

Although Bu Zhi has prepared the fire-driven object first, he needs to wait for the east wind to arrive. It is necessary to know that the process of naval troops leaving the port will take a lot of time, which is equivalent to the suddenness of the surprise attack, which is greatly reduced. Bu Zhi is well aware of this and intends to use quantity to make up for this shortcoming.

In the following days, the two sides began a tug-of-war. Bu Zhi naturally waited for the southeast wind to recreate the spectacular scene of the burning of Red Cliffs back then, while Pang Tong was also waiting for the arrival of the southeast wind to complete his series of ship plans.

In the blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month.

The east wind has not arrived yet, which makes Pang Tong feel a little anxious.

When Cao Cao attacked Chibi, the navy even had some advantages when the serial ships were out. As long as they were trained, they could cross the river and fight Zhou Yu. However, now, after more than 30 years of development, the Eastern Wu navy has become much stronger, and the Han army is not as powerful as Cao Cao in the past. Even if they used serial ships, they did not have an absolute advantage. If they wanted to win in a short time, Pang Tong's plan to both lose and lose is imperative.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Since the pre-Qin period, the Laba Festival has existed in the Central Plains. At that time, the Laba Festival was mainly used to worship ancestors and gods and pray for good harvests. However, in the Three Kingdoms era, there was no Laba porridge.

"God blesses me, I hope that a strong wind in the southeast will come soon to help me defeat the enemy." Pang Tong muttered silently for a long time, and then lit the incense.

Zhuge Liang walked in from outside and looked at the pious Pang Tong with a smile.

"Haha, Shi Yuan, you are asking God again! But I think it's better to ask me than to ask God!" Zhuge Liang said.

"Please?" Pang Tong immediately stood up and said with a happy expression: "Kong Ming, is there any wind?"

"Yes, it's windy. In three days, there will be strong winds in the southeast!" Zhuge Liang said.

"Thank you, God!" Pang Tong quickly lit another stick of incense.

"Oh..." Seeing Pang Tong like this, Zhuge Liang sighed helplessly.

...

On the 11th day of the twelfth lunar month, in the evening, the strong wind on the river had already expired, but by the hour of Hai, the strong wind would rise again, but this time it would blow strong winds in the southeast.

"Governor, Governor! Wake up!" A scream woke Bu Zhi up from his sleep.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Bu Zhi asked slowly, and it could be heard that Bu Zhi had not yet fully awakened.

"Governor, the wind is blowing! Strong wind, strong wind in the southeast!"

"It's wind!" Bu Zhi didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he rushed out of the camp, and then immediately looked at the flag in the air.

"Hahaha, the southeast wind is really the southeast wind! It's wind!" Bu Zhi laughed excitedly, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Send the order quickly, everyone gets up immediately and prepare to attack! Defeat the enemy, just tonight!"

...

The soldiers were already asleep, and all the 100,000 naval troops were gathered out to prepare for the trip. It was not possible for more than an hour. Nearly a thousand warships set sail and left the water camp, which took a lot of time. Although the Eastern Wu army was moving at full speed, they were still busy until dawn and were ready to go to war.

Looking at the rows of naval warships on the river, Bu Zhi took a deep breath, and then said, "Send the order to go to war!"

Under the command of the flag, the warship began to slowly start and ran towards the Han army camp.

After the darkest time before dawn, the Eastern Wu Navy finally approached the Han army's water camp.

The genius was about to light up, and the Han army's water camp was quiet. Several torches that had not yet been extinguished were flashing like stars. A slight mist rose slightly on the river, but it was not very thick. The thin mist was like a veil, covering the Han army's naval camp.

"Light!" Bu Zhi gave the order, and the big ship in front immediately removed the canvas on the ship, revealing the firewood and turmeric oil inside. He threw the torch down, and the fire immediately rose on the ship.

The Han army opposite also discovered the movements of the Eastern Wu navy. You can vaguely see the figures shaking inside, and the soldiers have begun to mobilize.

"Roar up, hurry up and destroy the village gate!" Bu Zhi shouted.

Under the strong wind in the southeast, the cargo ship in front rushed towards the Han army camp.

There are many warships in the Eastern Wu Navy today. This time, Bu Zhi mobilized a hundred warships as fireboats. Some warships with older age were used as cannon fodder by Bu Zhi. The hundreds of ignited warships charged forward together, and the scene was spectacular.

The strong winds in the southeast made the ship very fast. Even without a helmsman, the water and wind would make the ship not lose its direction. Behind the fire ship was the Eastern Wu warship, and the Wu army on the ship could not wait.

The first fire ship hit the gate of the Han Army Water Village. The spikes arranged around the gate immediately pierced the first fire ship. Then the fire ship collided with the warship behind, and in a moment it was hit into pieces. However, the fire ship behind still rushed forward bravely.

Finally, after paying the price of nearly twenty ships, the gate of the Han Navy camp was finally broken, and then other fire ships headed straight for the Han Navy camp.

The raging fire soon started to burn in the water village. As long as one of the ships parked in the water village was burned, the others would soon start to burn.

The Han army's water camp had already ignited a raging fire, and the rolling smoke was floating around, and it was impossible to see clearly what was happening around. Bu Zhi's face showed a hint of joy, and then Bu Zhi waved his hand and ordered the navy to start attacking.

Seventy or eighty-year-old warships in the Han army's water camp had already started to burn, and the Eastern Wu navy then stood in, preparing to expand the results of the battle. The east wind blew, and the fire became stronger and stronger. It was originally just a big fire on the water camp, which gradually spread to the land, and the fires on the water and land had already formed a whole.

The Eastern Wu Navy rushed into the Han army's water camp and shuttled through the thick smoke. Soon, the generals of the Jiangdong Navy discovered that something was wrong.

The serial warships were still burning, and from time to time several ships sank into the water, but the Han army wailed as Bu Zhi imagined, and no Han soldiers were struggling in the water.

"What's going on? Have all the Han soldiers been burned to death or drowned in water?" Bu Zhi frowned.

"Governor, I always feel a little weird. Why is there no wounded soldiers in a water camp..."

Bu Zhi nodded: "If it weren't for so many ignited warships around here, I would have thought we were in the wrong place. I'll send orders to let the brothers go ashore to see the situation."

...

The fire in the water village gradually became extinguished, and the rolling smoke drifted around, choking on the throat.

On the south river, more than a hundred warships suddenly appeared. The warships were covered by thick blue cloth, and each ship was tied with a small boat at the stern.

The sails rose, and then the cloth on the ship was pulled apart, and piles of hay appeared on the ship.

"ignition!"

With a command, the firewood on the boat immediately started to burn, and then everyone on the boat fled to the small boat behind.

With the help of the southeast wind, the fire ship quickly advanced southward, with sails full, and rolling waves pushing the fire ship forward. The target of the fire ship is also the Han army's water camp, to be precise, the Wu army that had already rushed into the water camp.

The wind was very strong on the wide river surface. With the sails full, the warships were very fast, but the visibility during the day was much stronger, so the Wu army quickly discovered that they were rushing towards their fireboat.

"Governor, a fire ship suddenly appeared on the river south." The soldiers of the Eastern Wu immediately returned to Bu Zhi.

"How many fire boats are there?" Bu Zhi asked.

"I'm afraid there are hundreds of ships."

"Hundreds of ships?" Bu Zhi frowned, then recalled the situation encountered in the water camp, and suddenly shouted: "No, I'm hitting the trick to lure the enemy! Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, you are so cruel, you actually sacrificed the entire water camp and so many warships to lure our army to attack!"

"Governor, what should we do?"

"Retreat quickly, withdraw quickly!"

"But Governor, we have already had many brothers ashore to search for the Han army."

"Don't worry about them. If we don't leave this time, the navy will be wiped out!"

...

The plan that Pang Tong carefully set was not so easy to be broken. Pang Tong had thought about all the possibilities, including Bu Zhi's escape.

At this time, the wind was blowing in the southeast. Bu Zhi wanted to withdraw to the Eastern Wu Navy camp, but it turned into a storm. On the other hand, the fire ships of the Han army were in a position of wind. In addition, the fire ships loaded on the fire ships were much lighter than the soldiers loaded on the Eastern Wu warships. In terms of speed, the Eastern Wu Navy was much slower than the Han armed ships.

The Wu army still couldn't ask the Han army's fire ship and collided with the fire ship.
