Summary of the previous chapter: The first shot of the Battle of Chibi was finally fired. Zhou Yu sent Jiang Qin to take the lead to explore the encounter between the fleet and Cao Cao's 10 Mengchong ships. The two sides immediately started fighting. The result was that Zhou Yu's side won a complete victory, while Cao Cao's side, due to Cai Mao's dispatch
His younger brother Cai He took the lead, resulting in the loss of half of the Mengchong exploration ship...
Cai Hao raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao secretly, and saw that his lord's expression was not as ugly as he imagined.
Cai Mao thought to himself: Our army alone has no less than 200 ships, and my lord has lost 5 ships. In fact, it is not that many...
Cai Mao knelt down in front of Cao Cao and said sincerely: "My lord, I am convinced of the mistake made by the pioneer exploration troops. I hope that my lord will give me some more warships and I will go out to meet them in person."
Cai Mao's guess was correct. Cao Cao actually didn't care too much about the five Mengchong ships. After all, he had more than 200 Mengchong ships. If he lost five Mengchong ships, he would lose them.
Cao Cao nodded, hummed and said: "In that case, I will give you 20 Mengchong ships, and you can get my face back!"
Cai Mao was overjoyed and said respectfully: "I obey your orders! I will definitely live up to my lord's trust!"
After saying that, Cai Mao turned around and left.
...
On the side of the Sun-Liu coalition, Jiang Qin led the vanguard exploration force to obtain the first small victory. Naturally, he was very happy. After conveying the news to the Governor Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu was also very happy.
However, I'm glad that Cao Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops haven't moved yet.
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision, ordering Jiang Qin and others to retreat quickly.
Zhou Yu's judgment was correct. As soon as Jiang Qin left less than half a stick of incense, Cai Mao led 20 mengchong to catch up.
Cai Mao was unequivocal in the water battle. Jiang Qin could defeat his younger brother because his younger brother Cai He was a coward. It was almost impossible to defeat him.
After a long pursuit, although they failed to intercept them, the Sun-Liu coalition still lost no less than 8 Red Horses.
Cai Mao was stronger than Jiang Qin in terms of battleships and equipment. In addition, Jiang Qin had already received an important retreat order, so he did not fight back.
By the time Jiang Qin led the remaining troops back to his own position, nearly half of the Red Horse had been lost.
Jiang Qin apologized to Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu not only did not blame him, but also praised him greatly.
Seeing Zhou Yu's heroic appearance, Ma Xiaoquan was very envious.
Once upon a time, Ma Xiaoquan also dreamed of traveling through time one day, and then making great achievements. Since possessing the Heart of Time, the Heart of Time is the source, and Ma Xiaoquan can indeed travel through time, and it is not the so-called soul traveling through time.
Among all the messy things that happen to dead people, Ma Xiaoquan’s time travel is a real physical time travel.
But...even though I have thought about it, if I really do it, the original will of history will send its source to counterattack...
It is better to die than to live. This sentence was what Ma Xiaoquan said most when he was a special soldier.
There is no one who can't get along with money, and naturally there will be no one who can't get along with him sincerely and risk his own life.
With Huang Jingming and others as a warning, Ma Xiaoquan still had to consider and weigh things up no matter how passionate he was.
Besides, after being expelled from the National Special Forces Brigade and inexplicably joining this underground world organization called "Extreme Strike Force", Ma Xiaoquan discovered how meaningful life is.
In the past, when he was in the National Special Forces Brigade, what Ma Xiaoquan thought most about was how to complete each mission. As for his own future, Ma Xiaoquan never thought about it, or in other words, he didn't dare to think about it at all.
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled, suddenly remembering some things he had done in the National Special Forces Brigade in his mind.
Zhou Yu asked: "Master Shangxian, why are you laughing? Did I do something wrong?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "No, no, Gong Jin, you did a very good job. Haha, I just thought of some things in the past. It has nothing to do with Gongjin. Haha, Gongjin doesn't have to worry about anything."
Zhou Yu groaned and asked again: "Master Shangxian, this southeast wind..."
Ma Xiaoquan patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder: "Don't rush, don't rush, it will happen naturally when the time comes."
Zhou Yu nodded, although he was still a little nervous in his heart, but Master Shangxian had given his guarantee, and Zhou Yu believed that Master Shangxian could definitely do it with his abilities.
...
The pursuit was successful, but Cai Mao was not greedy for success.
With Cai Mao's commanding ability in water warfare, he understood the danger of going deep behind the enemy group.
After killing almost 10 Red Horse warships of the Sun-Liu coalition, Cai Mao immediately turned around and returned to camp.
Cao Cao was also very happy when he learned that Cai Mao had won the battle.
Cao Cao was a proud man to begin with, and he could easily get carried away with his pride. Cai Mao's victory made Cao Cao's scruples immediately let go and became swollen.
Cao Cao was very disdainful when he thought of the letter of advice that Master Shangxian wrote to him a few days ago.
"You damn demon, aren't you with the Sun-Liu coalition? Hum, I'm going to destroy them, then hold Jiangdong in my hands, and then humiliate you, haha...
"
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more excited he became. If he could humiliate Ma Xiaoquan in front of him, Cao Cao would be very happy.
Feeling proud in his heart, Cao Cao immediately changed his original strategic plan.
Taking the natural dangers of the Yangtze River as the boundary, it goes up to Wulin and below to Red Cliff. Cao Cao's original strategic plan was that after setting off from Jiangling, the army would first arrive at Wulin to consolidate, and then go south to attack.
However, Cai Mao's victory, coupled with the huge advantage of his own troops, Cao Cao immediately decided to allocate half of his troops to continue the attack, and the remaining half to return to Wulinkou for rest.
Although the strength of the troops is only half, the total number is more than 100,000, which is still twice as many as the 32 of the Sun and Liu coalition forces.
Moreover, the warships on our side are stronger than the coalition forces on the other side of the river, both in quantity and quality.
Cao Cao was very proud and thought to himself: With this kind of troops, even if they were beaten with their fucking butts, they would definitely be able to beat them.
...
Zhou Yu, on his side, received the news that Cao Cao had divided his troops. He sighed heavily, then patted his chest and said, "God help me! Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you are defeated this time!"
Immediately, Zhou Yu began to deploy the battle formation:
First, Huang Gai was ordered to prepare 10 battleships and 10 battleships to be on standby at any time.
Huang Gai got the order and issued the order.
Second, order Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Chen Wu to form four teams each. Each team has 300 warships. They coordinate their transformations in a cone formation. Each team has 20 warships, and Mengchong has 30 warships.
The radiators, walking boats, and red horses each get what they need according to their own distribution, but they must all obey the orders of the great governor.
Han Dang and others were given the order.
Third, quickly get in touch with your lord Sun Quan and ask him to be your backup force;
Fourth, Lu Su, Kanze and others were ordered to guard the stronghold, while Zhou Yu himself had to stand on the building ship to deploy and command.
...
Watching the generals leave after receiving the order, Zhou Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down slowly.
Ma Xiaoquan poured Zhou Yu a cup of tea and said slowly: "Gong Jin, you have done a lot, don't worry, although this battle is difficult, it is not without the possibility of victory!"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Immortal. At this point, we are at the end of our rope. If we don't win, I will die to apologize."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and asked: "Gong Jin, you are using your own navy. How do you deploy Liu Bei's army?"
Zhou Yu said: "Guan Yu, under Liu Bei, can command the army and the navy. He is a rare general. I have just made the arrangements and passed them to Liu Bei. I think they are also making preparations."
Ma Xiaoquan asked again: "Did Gong Jin send Liu Beijun to the front to take the lead?"
