Chapter 148 Fire

The east wind was blowing and it was very violent. Until midnight, there was no movement, let alone the firelight appeared.

"Sir!" Liu Feng stood up and frowned at Liu Yi, "We were ordered to send troops to Changsha when the east wind rose. Now the east wind has arrived. Why did Mr. wait until the fire light rises before setting off? Now that we can set off, we can still arrive in Changsha before dawn. We can break through a city in one fell swoop while the enemy is not prepared. If we want to attack the city later, it will be difficult!"

Liu Yi sat on Hu's bed, and looked up at Liu Feng after hearing this and said, "That's just a city. We only have three thousand soldiers and horses. There are twelve cities in Changsha. If we use the method of a major general, we will attack the city when we meet it. How dare we ask us to conquer these twelve counties in Changsha, three thousand soldiers are enough?"

"Can the so-called fire break the city?" Liu Feng frowned.

"Well, I will definitely do it." Liu Yi nodded affirmatively. If some of the surrendered troops from Cao's army belonging to Jingzhou fled to Changsha, the news will be unrest. When the news comes out, people will be confused. If they send troops again, with Liu Bei's reputation in Jingzhou, the effect is not the same as now.

"What if I can't do it?" Liu Feng frowned. If Zhuge Liang said this, he believed it. However, even if Liu Bei praised him as a craftsman, he was still a craftsman. For a family like Liu Feng, he actually didn't look down on Liu Yi very much.

"I will apologize to the emperor myself." Liu Yi groped in his hand and looked at Liu Feng and said, "There are still problems with the general?"

The Major General is too lazy to shout. People respect each other. If you don’t want to respect me, then everyone will do their business and don’t owe you anything.

"I hope sir can bear this guilt!" Liu Feng snorted coldly, intervened at Liu Yi, and took his personal guards to inspect the inspectors.

"Sir!" Wei Yan, who was standing behind Liu Yi, frowned and said, "Why should you accommodate him so much? You are just a moth!"

Liu Bei accepted Liu Feng as his adopted son because he was over fifty years old and had no son to inherit his foundation. Seeing that Liu Feng was both civil and military, he was very proud of his talents, and secondly, he also wanted to train a successor for himself, so he accepted him as his adopted son. But immediately after Liu Chan was born, Liu Feng's position under Liu Bei became embarrassing. After all, no matter how good the adopted son is, he is not as good as his own son. With his own son, who would give his foundation to an adopted son?

"This is the family affairs of the emperor. If you want to do things under the emperor's command, don't worry about these things." Liu Yi glanced at Wei Yan and said, "As long as he is still Liu Feng, don't be disrespectful to him."

This is probably a headache for Liu Bei now. If Liu Bei takes Liu Feng away from his adopted son and asks him to rename him Kou, it will be a great shame for Liu Feng and even the Kou family. This is equivalent to making enemies. Liu Feng is also a very good talent, and Liu Bei is reluctant to throw him away, which is why Liu Feng is now embarrassed.

"What the sir said is." Wei Yan could still calm down when he was in Mocheng, and even had the idea of ​​staying in Mocheng, but now that he had come out with Liu Yi, the thought that had been suppressed before has rekindled.

Liu Yi shook his head. He didn't want to pay attention to the broken things in Liu Bei's family. As for Liu Feng, Liu Yi always kept a distance, but he didn't want to get involved in these things.

As the second update approached, Guan Ping strode in, saw Liu Yi, bowed and said, "Sir, I just saw a fleet sailing towards the Cao army camp at an extremely fast speed."

"Oh?" Liu Yi stood up and took Wei Yan out: "Order the three armies to assemble and be ready to send troops at any time."

"Here!" Guan Ping agreed, turned around and ran out.

...

Cao's water camp is not far from Sanjiangkou. At this moment, Cao Cao had already received a letter from Huang Gai. A batch of food and grass will be delivered tonight. Cao Cao was standing in the central army's tent, looking at the bright moon river water, feeling quite successful.

"Prime Minister, there is a fleet approaching the water camp, and I request to open the water camp!" Someone came to report.

"What is the flag?" Cao Cao asked.

"All colors are the Qinglong Tooth Flag, and the vanguard of Huang Gai is written on the ship!" The general bowed and said.

"It was Gong's refusal to surrender and ordered people to open the water camp. I should go and welcome him in person!" Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard this, and wanted to go to the water camp to greet Huang Gai in person.

"Here!" the general agreed and went to order the water camp to open and put the boat into the water camp.

Cheng Yu followed Cao Cao and looked out of the water camp after hearing this. Because it was too far away, it was not clear. However, there was a east wind blowing today, and Huang Gai came to throw it, which made Cheng Yu feel a little uneasy.

Although he didn't look too lightly, when the water camp opened, the other party's boat was moving very fast, Cheng Yu's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Prime Minister, there is a trick to come to the boat, don't call him to enter the village!"

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "How can I see it!"

Cheng Yu was very anxious and quickly explained: "The food in the boat will be steady. The Prime Minister seems that the boat is light and floating. And tonight, the east wind is just rising, and a certain material must be deceitful. If he is put into the village and sets a fire suddenly, how can our army resist this fire with the might of the wind??"

Cao Cao also reacted when he heard this, secretly shouted carelessly, and hurriedly asked someone to close the water village. However, the gate of the water village has opened and the other party's ship speed is amazingly fast. How can there be time at this moment?

"Who can stop it!" After Cao Cao gave the order, he also realized that with the current situation, it was unlikely that the other party would be able to stop the other party from breaking into the water camp. He asked now that he didn't know much about water war. The surrendered generals under his command did not want to use it very much, but he could no longer care about so much at this moment.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a man under his command walking out quickly. Wen Pin, the surrendered general from Jingzhou, held his fist at Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, I am very familiar with the water, I would like to invite you to go!"

Cao Cao didn't care about any etiquette now and shouted sternly: "Go quickly, don't ask the other party to get close to our warships.

"Here!"

With a promise of diploma, he turned around and attracted more than a hundred soldiers to step onto more than a dozen boats and went forward to kill. From a distance, he shouted loudly: "Prime Minister Jun's order, don't get close to the southern ship!"

Huang Gai saw Wen Pin on the boat and sneered, "How could he stop at this time? He picked up the bow and arrow on the boat and shot Wen Pin with an arrow."

Wen Pin heard the trembling sound of the bowstring. He knew something was wrong, so he subconsciously made dodging moves. His shoulders hurt. The arrow that had already shot straight to his forehead fell on his shoulders. Wen Pin screamed in pain, staggered, and sat on the boat, but shouted loudly in his mouth: "Kill, don't let the pirate ship approach!"

Huang Gai brought hundreds of ships, connected in two groups. One in front was a clutch made by Liu Yi, carrying straw, turtle oil and other fire-induced objects, and the other behind was an empty ship. Seeing that he entered the water camp, Huang Gai ignored the clamor of the Cao army and directly ordered the soldiers to ignite all the fire-induced objects on the clutch, and then jumped to the empty ship behind, cutting off the ropes, and using the power of the sails, the clutch rushed towards Cao army as fast as possible.

Without the drag of the empty ships behind and the soldiers on the ship, the power of these clutches created by Liu Yi showed up.

Wenpin only saw the fire-burning fire-burning boats rushing towards this side at an extremely fast speed, and hurriedly ordered people to stop them. But hundreds of fire-burning boats roared over, and the soldiers here didn't even have time to react. The fire-burning boats had already passed through more than a dozen boats and headed straight for the iron chains of Cao's army.

After sending Wen Pin to stop him, Cao Cao was not idle either. He immediately ordered people to dismantle the iron chains and wooden boards connecting the warships.

But in order to stabilize the warship, these iron cables and wooden boards were reinforced. Now, if you want to cut them off, how can you cut them off in a hurry?

Before the Cao army could start construction, the hundred fire ships were already roaring here with the wind. Because there was no one to control them, they didn't know where the fire ships were going. Cao Cao stood on the platform of the Zhongjun Dazhai, watching the dozen or so walking boats led by Wen Pin chasing the fire ships in vain, but were thrown farther and farther away. The fire ships crashed into a large number of warships.

For a moment, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with thick smoke everywhere, and many warships were ignited by the fire ships, and the fire was powered by the wind. Although the soldiers of Cao's army wanted to put out the fire, the place where the pavilion was destroyed was because of the crowd, and many soldiers were squeezed down. The entire water village was in chaos for a while. Cao Cao was a little stunned and didn't know how to solve it for a while.

The wind assisted the fire, and the fire leveraged the power of the wind. However, Cao Cao was stunned for a while and the fire had spread. In the middle of winter, Cao Cao could feel the heat waves coming from the far side. Cheng Yu, who was standing beside him, pulled Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, the situation is over, let's go quickly."

Cao Cao clenched his fists and looked unwillingly at the soldiers who were trying their best to spread the fire just now, and countless Cao army soldiers were engulfed by the flames in just a blink of an eye. They screamed, screamed and rolled in pain. Huang Gai in the distance did not leave, but gathered people and rushed straight to the central army with flames.

"Let's go!" Cao Cao turned around and ordered: "Zhongkang, go and lead the personal guards to protect the ministers and withdraw from the water camp. He ordered Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin and other troops to come and rescue quickly!"

As Cheng Yu said, the general situation is over, and the fire is in place, he is powerless to turn the world back. It is not Cao Cao's character. He immediately made a decision and immediately ordered people to protect the military advisers to retreat first. Saving his life is important now. He will take back what he lost today in the future. The most important thing now is to stop the loss!

Zhang Liao had already brought his men to come over with a small boat and picked Cao Cao up ashore. The big boat could not rotate at all now and could only wait for it to be burned.

Cao Cao landed under the escort of the soldiers. Listening to the sound of fighting from behind, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He stopped and asked his left and right: "Have you all saved me?"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, you have been rescued." Xu Chu came to Cao Cao in a daze and bowed.

Cao Cao looked at the increasingly larger fire in front of him, his eyes were filled with cold light, and he snorted coldly: "Burn a fire here and stop the enemy from coming!"

Someone exclaimed: "Prime Minister, those naval soldiers..."

Cao Cao turned around and looked at the man. He was a surrendered minister in Jingzhou. He turned around and left without saying a word. In this water camp, most of the soldiers from Jingzhou were from Jingzhou. As for the men brought by Cao Cao, they were already in the rear and were easier to evacuate.

The man felt cold in his heart when he saw Cao Cao's eyes. He didn't dare to say anything more, but his face showed a look of pain and he silently followed Cao Cao to continue to escape.

Behind Cao Cao, after Xu Chu confirmed that Cao Cao and others had retreated safely, he carried his men and horses torches to ignite the surrounding water villages and stopped Huang Gai's pursuit troops in the rear. He then led his personal guards to chase Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's fire, the entire water village was completely trapped in a sea of ​​fire...
