Chapter two hundred and eighty second preparation

The stone-lime water is abundant in the north, and now the north has been fully in the hands of the Cao family. Yang Xiu borrowed Cao Ang's order and secretly searched for it and sent the soldiers to take it.

Therefore, things are flammable when touched by fire, so Yang Xiu repeatedly instructed that all the soldiers sent were careful. After all the arrangements were made, Yang Xiufang came to worship Cao Ang, "Lord, you can send the stone water to Xuzhou in about ten days."

Cao Ang nodded and said to Ma Jun: "Now that the stone fat water has not arrived, you can have enough water, and strive to be available at that time!"

"promise!"

However, Sun Quan tried his best to bury the hidden piles on the center of the south bank of the Yangtze River. The big ship drew water. If there was no way to bury the wooden piles, the boat would have to be buried with a big hole.

Sun Quan thought he was worry-free and ordered the soldiers to station on the south bank.

Huang Gai came to worship Sun Quan and said that there was a wonderful plan.

Sun Quan hurriedly sent him in.

Huang Gai bowed and said, "Dare you ask the lord, you want to retreat Cao Angye? You want to defeat Cao Angye?"

Sun Quan hurriedly said, "How can I explain this statement after the public refusal?"

Huang Gai bowed again, "Now, wooden stakes are buried near the south bank, and it is difficult to come to my south bank. However, this is only a blocking purpose. If Cao Ang Si plots to destroy it in the future, it may be a bad idea."

"The meaning of public repent?"

"Lord, Cao Ang will definitely be difficult to break the formation of wooden stakes for a while. Our army should take this opportunity to break it, rather than waiting for Cao Ang to understand the method of solving it, we will think of good strategies."

Sun Quan nodded, "What the public replies are not bad, can you tell me?"

Huang Gai pondered: "Fire Attack!"

Sun Quan was shocked, "Fire Attack?"

"Yes," Huang Gai said seriously, "If the ship is strong and the arrows are good, Jiangdong may be more difficult than Xuzhou..."

Sun Quan's face was a little dark, but he had to admit that Huang Gai was telling the truth.

Huang Gai looked at Sun Quan's face and found that it was still within the affordable range. He also said: "The attack on the sea is nothing more than the courage of the general, whether the soldiers can use their lives, and whether the ship is strong. Now we almost do not take the lead, so we need to think of another way."

Sun Quan frowned and said, "I thought it was good, but how can I attack the fire on the surface of the river?"

"Cao Ang has not established a water camp, and the soldiers are brave, and the warships are strong. The thunder chariot can only barely block the benefits. How can the huge river attack?" Sun Quan was a little annoyed.

Huang Gai said: "This is easy, it depends on whether the lord will give up."

Sun Quan frowned and said, "Let me tell me."

"The former was Cao Ang's personal expedition. According to my opinion, Cao Ang also showed off his confidence in courage. Now no one can defeat him when fighting on land. He is called the world's number one brave general, but he has never fought at sea. He must have wanted to win a beautiful battle and give his reputation."

Sun Quan nodded, "What's the point of this with you?"

Huang Gai pondered and said, "I think, if I can kill Cao Ang on the river, it will be worth it to lose hundreds of ships, right?"

Sun Quan laughed: "Who is Cao Ang? Not to mention that only hundreds of warships can be exchanged for Cao Ang's life, so what if there are thousands? So what if you spend all the warships in Jiangdong?"

Huang Gai was overjoyed and bowed, "I dare to say my plan after receiving this from the lord."

Sun Quan laughed: "Come on fast!"

Huang Gai said: "Now the water vapor on the river is hazy, and it is difficult for those who are good at looking at it to get a glimpse of the whole picture. The lord can send more than 200 warships to ambush the whole country, but it is just a little farther. When Cao Ang's army arrives, he will first drag a general and then order the more than 200 ships to surround and kill them. If the situation is not good at that time, the ship will ignite the fire and burn Cao Ang's fleet from all directions!"

When Sun Quan heard that the first half was still frowning secretly, he heard that the fire ships in all directions attacked Cao Ang with fire ships. He felt a little happy.

However, Sun Quan felt a little heartbroken. More than 200 warships, plus the soldiers on it, how much damage would be? Besides, if Cao Ang was not dead, what would he do?

Sun Quan pondered: "Go away, let me think for a while."

Huang Gai was anxious, "Lord..."

Sun Quan waved his hand, "Go."

Huang Gai was quite unwilling to accept it, but he had to retreat in a bad mood.

But the stone water was finally transported one truck after another.

They were all untreated and were packed in wooden barrels and sealed very tightly.

Cao Ang specially sent someone to dig a big hole and put these wooden barrels in it. One was to be shady, and the other was to be afraid that a fire would burn the entire military camp.

"Can Deheng be there?"

Yang Xiudao: "Lord, Deheng went to the military camp to try out the new Huangshi."

Cao Ang put down his pen. It has been more than ten days since then, but Ma Jun’s progress is not good. Cao Ang has already ordered a little bit of stone fat and tried it, confirming that it is indeed crude oil.

I can't refine it, so I can use it all while I'm still very excited to burn anyway.

Ma Jun came to report several times, and said that it was too difficult to dig holes in the middle of the mud ball. After digging the holes, most of them were no longer in shape. Even if the holes were dug and burned, they would not be much water stored in them after they were hardened.

There is not much water left, let alone sputum water.

Cao Ang sighed in his heart. He thought that solving Huangshi would be the easiest, but he didn't expect it but the difficulty lies in it.

Cao Ang took a stack of freshly drawn drawings to find Ma Jun.

Ma Jun is still experimenting with all kinds of newly-cooked yellow stones, but there is still no good solution.

Cao Ang looked at the molds he made and pondered: "Deheng, is it made of yellow stone, but it is burned at one time?"

"That's right, lord, the soil is soft and needs to be dried and hard by fire. I once tried to hollow out the yellow stone like pottery. However, the yellow stone is too big and cannot be operated. The other methods have not been effective. I am ashamed of my lord!" Ma Jun bowed in shame.

Cao Ang waved his hand and signaled that Ma Jun was fine, "Deheng, this yellow stone, burn it twice!"

"Two times?" Ma Jun was a little puzzled.

Cao Ang nodded, "The soil is soft. If the inside is hollowed out from the beginning, it will be easily damaged and deformed. Do not add lime water to it."

"Burn twice is..."

"Let's burn the shell first, then dig it open with a sharp blade, then use the utensil to hollow it out, and then burn it again, so it should be possible."

Ma Jun was overjoyed, "The lord is a wonderful plan, so Jun will try it."

Cao Ang said: "Now the stone fat water has been transported. Wait until the yellow stone shell is ready and pour it inwards, and try again."

"Okay, lord, don't worry, within three days, Jun Ding will do this properly!"

Cao Ang nodded, and then brought someone to the village after bringing Shilishui.

However, Sun Quan thought for a long time and felt that Huang Gai's plan was exhausted too much, and it was not worth it. Moreover, it was not yet time to live or die, so it was really inappropriate to rashly consume his power, so Sun Quan did not summon Huang Gai again.

Seeing this, Huang Gai naturally knew Sun Quan's intention, so he extinguished the fire attack. For the past ten days, he discussed with the generals of Jiangdong where to set up more wooden stakes and how to fight with the Xuzhou army.

After Cao Ang failed to attack for more than ten days, Sun Quan gradually became lazy. He thought of Zhou Yu and was extremely angry, thinking about how to punish Zhou Yu!
