56, Zhuge Liang's Spark Disturbs Qianfan(1/3)
Red Cliff·First Battle·Assault·One Man at the Gate
In the darkness, Cao Jun's fleet was like a ghost, extinguishing all the lights on the ship and getting closer.
"Prepare for war——!"
"Night attack on Cao's camp!"
Everyone started to move in an instant. Gan Ning and others hurriedly abandoned the wine jar and hurriedly shouted: "Ge Lao Tzu! Why did it come so suddenly!"
The big ship was parked, and looking at its posture, there were 2,000 people on each ship, and there were actually nearly 20,000 people on the ten ships in total!
Qilin said: "Where is Gan Xingba! Where is Taishi Ci?! Oh no, you are so careless!"
An arrow flew across the darkness and was nailed to the crossbar.
"Kill——" Cao Jun's big ship put down the small boat and rushed to the beach!
Lu Bu shouted angrily: "Send the infantry troops to the beach for support!"
"Dang-dang-dang-" the war bell from a high place warned, Sun Ce jumped to the high place, took the drumstick, and heard three dull drum sounds!
One hundred and fifty thousand coalition troops were awakened in the night!
Sun Ce shouted loudly, the sound vibrated hundreds of miles away, and Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head.
In the stable outside the tent, the Jingfan horse instantly raised its head, broke free from the reins uncontrollably, and rushed down the slope!
Cao's soldiers came ashore like a wave, and Lü Meng ordered all his troops to rush out from the camp. Sun Ce threw down his drumsticks and rushed down the hillside, shouting: "Ziming! Leave the army to me, and I will support you! You go back."
On board!”
Lu Meng almost fell off his horse, backed away in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord..."
Sun Ce said: "Jiangdong son, follow me to fight!"
Although Lu Meng didn't believe in the theory of ghosts transforming into human beings, Sun Ce was the heroic spirit of Jiangdong. The sound of the giant drum on the hillside sounded again, this time it was his own order to go to war.
Sun Ce did not answer, but led thousands of cavalry down the hillside, shouting: "Fengxian! I will help you!"
Lu Bu brazenly pulled off his outer robe and threw it aside, revealing his bare shoulders and back, and shouted: "Lu Feng is here first! Who dares to come ashore!"
Arrows rained out like rain on the ship. Lu Bu turned around and swung his two pig-iron long swords, sending the arrows flying in all directions. He shouted loudly. Wherever his arms touched, the iron swords were like ordinary soldiers, connecting Cao's soldiers who were the first to step forward.
The armor split in half!
"kill--!"
Zhao Yun led more than 2,000 men to the river and defeated Cao's army that had invaded the hillside!
The red rabbit came with a chirp. Lu Bu got on the red rabbit horse, put his finger to his lips, and whistled!
"Three battalions of allied forces! Listen to my order!" Lu Bu shouted brazenly, his shoulders and back were bare, and his tangled muscles were covered with blood and sweat, shining in the torch.
Sun Ce, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu gathered together. A moment later, the night-shine jade lion carrying Ma Chao rushed in. Nearly six thousand soldiers had gathered. Lu Bu said: "Zilong goes to the southwest defense camp! Meng Qi returns to guard the bamboo tower.
! Bo Fu comes with me!"
Lu Bu roared loudly, howling like a wolf in the middle of the night, and galloped wherever he went, waking up all the soldiers in the camp.
There were thunderous roars on both sides of the strait, and the soldiers raised their spears high, rushed out of the barracks, and began the first round of confrontation with Cao's soldiers who rushed to the beach to sneak attack.
Zhao Yun led two thousand men to charge three rounds from the hillside, killing corpses everywhere on the riverside.
Gan Ning finally mobilized his men and launched the warship.
Gold rang out from the heights, and the soldiers guarding the beach withdrew to the heights. The first stray bullet was fired from the center of the warship, and it flew towards Cao Jun's warship with a firelight that illuminated a large area of darkness.
Countless soldiers on the hillside shouted excitedly.
"That's..." Zhou Yu could hardly believe what he saw.
Chen Gongdao: "A flying fire jar made of Qilin, filled with petroleum, fire saltpeter and carbon powder, ignited and thrown with a trebuchet..."
The voice of the unicorn came from the darkness in the distance.
"On command—volley!"
A whistle arrow pierced the night sky with a sharp roar, hundreds of warships gathered together, and thousands of stray fire bombs bombarded intensively, reflecting half of the night sky red!
Every cupping jar falling to the ground caused a loud explosion.
Ten warships in Cao's camp were sunk one after another, turning into fireballs and sinking into the middle of the river.
The infantry on the beach became a lone army. Zhuge Liang said: "Listen to the drums from high up, it's time for you to kill again."
Zhuge Liang: "Send the order to change the formation and encircle the two wings!"
The drums beat loudly in all directions, and then again.
Lu Bu and Zhao Yun each led a wing of cavalry and rushed down the hillside to form an encirclement. Ma Chao from high up shot an arrow into the night sky, making a whistle.
Qilin received the news of the cavalry charge and decisively issued an order: "Change the firepower and fire stray fire bombs into the open space in front of the stall!"
The big ships turned around one after another in the darkness, facing the shore with their broadsides, and fire bullets shot out!
The two wings of Lu and Zhao drove the beach-grabbing troops to the open space. Hundreds of fireballs flew to the shore. Cao soldiers were everywhere fleeing in the fire, and the burnt people were thrown into the river.
However, oil floats on water, and the ever-lasting fire will never be extinguished. Anyone who bathes in oil will be burned to death, and there will be no luck.
Chen Gong lamented: "It's a pity. If I can seize ten large ships for my own use..."
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "No, this is a trial battle before. Guo Jia's intention is just to investigate the strength of our army. Even if the ship is sunk, no one can be allowed to go back."
A small boat rowed out of the darkness, carrying six people. Guo Jia stood on the bow of the boat with a pale face, and Dian Wei held a halberd to guard him as he fled back to the Yangtze River.
"This battle is difficult, difficult to fight." Guo Jia took a deep breath, covered his chest with a feather fan, and murmured.
In the early morning, the Chibi River was full of human corpses. A layer of oil floated on the river. The flames burned for half an hour, and the smell of burning was carried in the wind.
The three armies were cleaning the bank. Qilin, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang were walking along the river. Behind them, Jiangdong's army talked excitedly:
"I heard that my lord's heroic soul appears on the battlefield!"
"Really! I saw it with my own eyes! The Lord even led us into battle to kill the enemy!"
"This battle will definitely be a victory! I have the protection of my lord's heroic spirit!"
Qilin frowned and said, "Guo Jia is so brave, he actually took the lead in a sneak attack."
Zhou Yu talked to Yu Yiwen behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "It's time for us to take action. The bamboo tower has been built, why not do it tonight?"
Zhuge Liang looked worried: "There is heavy fog tonight, so it is not appropriate to send troops."
Qilin said: "The fog is just right, but there are not enough arrows, so I have to use them sparingly."
At that time, I saw Kong Ming holding a feather fan, covering half of his face, and smiling sinisterly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have concerns."
Second Battle·Counterattack·Night Exploration of Enemy Camp
First exploration:
A thick layer of fog hung over the river, and the ghostly Xiliang ship dived into the fog and stopped in it.
On Cao Ying's flagship, Guo Jia's robe was wet.
Xun You walked onto the deck, smelled the water vapor, and cupped his hands towards Guo Jia and said, "The fog is thick. The military advisor should go in and rest."
Guo Jia flipped his fingers, whirled his feather fan, and flicked his sleeve, causing the water vapor around him to disperse.
Guo Jia ordered: "Don't be careless and take strict precautions."
Xun You nodded, took over Guo Jia's place, sat down on the deck, and stared at the thick fog.
High on Red Cliff, on the top of the cliff, a messenger rushed over and pulled the bell rope three times, and then three more times after a while.
A huge brazier was lit on the top of the sentry tower, like a ball of blazing sun. The person in charge of the fire suddenly pushed open the window, letting the light shine out, then closed the window, and repeated this six times.
"You can see it, that's great." Qilin said happily.
The soldiers at the top of the flagship held a petroleum steel lamp in their hands, pulled the mechanical switch, and clicked a few times to transmit the light order to the entire army stationed on standby. The big ships turned around one after another and dispersed on the river.
Zhou Yu was sitting far away on another boat, with Lu Bu and Ling Tong standing behind him. After a few breaths, the raiding fleet left the fog. The seven strings of the guqin in Zhou Yu's hand sounded in unison, and there was a loud sound of cracking mountains and cracking rocks!
"Night attack——!" Cao Ying shouted in panic. Cao Cao ran out of the river with his hair disheveled. Xun You shouted: "Send the order! The whole army retreats! Use crossbows!"
Zhou Yu's boat turned around in the fog and moved to the side.
Guo Jiadao: "The whole army is ready to fight!"
Xun You said: "No! The enemy is trying to find out our combat strength! We must retreat!"
Guo Jia said solemnly: "Send a boat to fight! Just listen to me! The opponent is covered by heavy fog, so we have to get closer before deciding the outcome!"
Zhou Yu heard a series of piano sounds in the fog, sonorous and solemn, bringing the spirit of war!
Guo Jia pointed his feather fan: "There! Concentrate your arrows and fire them!"
Xun You said: "No! It must be a trick to lure the enemy!"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "What is imaginary is real, and what is real is imaginary. Listen to the filial piety, chase the enemy, and shoot arrows!"
The flag from high above was waved three times, but it was hard to see in the dark night. Several ships were sent all the way, and Zhou Yu had missed the warships and surrounded them. The sound of the piano was like the bursting of a silver bottle, the sound of iron and stone, and dived into the fog.
Ma Chao said: "Do you think Guo Jia will fall into the trap?"
