Cao Cao took a closer look at Huang Gai's warship and became suspicious, so he immediately ordered people to find Yu Jin and Mao Jie. Yu Jin arrived soon, but Mao Jie was still drunk. Cao Cao had no time to explain, so he immediately asked Yu Jin to lead him.
The ships went to stop Huang Gai, hoping that it was not too late. Kan Ze had already seen the problem in Cao Cao's eyes. At this time, he did not dare to interrupt anymore. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Just as they were about to arrive at Cao Jun's water stronghold, suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound of gongs in the water stronghold, which was an early warning sound for the navy. Some soldiers stood on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly to Huang Gai, asking Huang Gai to stop fighting.
The gate of the boat and water village was also opened, and Yu Jin led hundreds of Zuke, the fastest warships, to rush out from inside.
Seeing that something was wrong, Huang Gai's personal guards immediately asked: "General, they seem to have discovered a problem, what should we do now?"
Huang Gai looked around and drew out his sword with a cry: "At this point, we can only fight hard. Our warships are not as fast as others. Let's light up! Go straight to Cao Cao's navy stronghold!"
Whoops, Huang Gai's warships suddenly changed from a long snake formation into a neat row, and torches were lit on each ship. After a while, Huang Gai's warships began to burn, like fireballs.
Rushing towards Cao Cao's navy. At this moment, everyone finally understood that this was all a plan of the Jiangdong people, and Huang Gai wanted to burn himself.
Although Yu Jin's warship was fast, it was much smaller than Huang Gai's ship. Huang Gai took the helm personally and loudly ordered the navy to fully spread the sails. The strong southeast wind blew in the sails, and the mast seemed to be unable to withstand it.
There was a crunching sound. Huang Gai had no intention of slowing down at all. He didn't care about Yu Jin's walkers at all, and drove the warship to rush through Yu Jin's navy.
"Stop them!" Yu Jin shouted loudly. Unfortunately, his warship was too small and could not take any advantage in front of Huang Gai's warship. The light walking wheels were smashed to pieces by the impact, and some of the warships had been burned.
The ship caught fire.
The soldiers in the water village began to fire arrows, and the overwhelming arrows poured down on Huang Gai's warship like raindrops. The soldiers could only hide. The screams were mixed with the collision of warships. In the strong wind
Driven by them, they continued to advance towards Cao Jun's water stronghold.
Mao Jie staggered to the front of Cao Cao. He had already heard from the soldiers about the incoming Jiangdong navy. Mao Jie was a little scared. Although he was Cao Pi's father-in-law, he was only the father of a concubine.
, if Cao Cao had spoken, Cao Pi could not save himself. Mao Jie burped, and the strong smell of alcohol spurted out from his mouth and nostrils.
Cao Cao frowned: "Huh? Have you been drinking?"
Mao Jie was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud: "My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!"
Seeing that Huang Gai's warships have arrived at the outskirts of the water village. These warships of Huang Gai have been specially modified. Not only are iron blocks added to the bows for collision, but also barbs are nailed on. As long as they are hit by
They got on the warship, but they couldn't pull it away. Driven by the wind, the fire struck towards the navy. Some of the outermost warships were already on fire.
Cao Cao's cold eyes burst out with murderous intent: "The war is about to begin. As a general, I ignore military law and drink alcohol. Come on! Behead Mao Jie!"
"Lord, spare your life! Eldest Young Master, save me! Save me!" No one said a word of mercy on Mao Jie's behalf, and they watched several soldiers drag Mao Jie down.
Dong Zhaodao: "My lord, Jiangdong's army set fire to it. Our warships are tied together and it is difficult to escape. We can order the chain of warships to be disbanded immediately to avoid the fire!"
Cao Cao immediately gave the order. The navy began to get busy. When the serial warships were built, in order to ensure stability, what method was used was reliable and what method was comfortable. Now when it is time to dismantle it, various problems arise. No.
The rope connecting the two warships was too tight, and the planks laid on the ship blocked the starting point.
Huang Gai personally carried two cans of kerosene, one across, and rushed through the fire. He completely ignored the arrows flying towards him and swung them hard. The cans of kerosene spun in the air and flew towards the building in front of him. "
Wow!" The kerosene tank was smashed to pieces, and the thick kerosene began to spread on the deck. The flames that rushed up seemed to have smelled the smell and plunged into the kerosene, instantly bursting out with huge vitality.
The flow of kerosene began to spread throughout the ship.
Kerosene is actually not what we call petroleum products now. Although there are records about petroleum in ancient times, its utilization did not slowly appear until the Song Dynasty. The kerosene in Huang Gai's hands is peanut oil. In the south of the Yangtze River, swamps and lakes
If there are more, there will be more sandy land. Sandy land is the best place to grow peanuts. Peanut oil is flammable and is the most important strategic material.
Some soldiers of Cao's army did not notice the flowing kerosene until the fire burned their feet, and then they realized that it was already too late. The surroundings were already covered with kerosene, and the raging fire surrounded them, several feet high.
The flames swallowed them up in the blink of an eye. The heart-rending shouts shook the entire water village.
The fire burned more and more fiercely. Driven by the strong wind, it continued to engulf the naval warships. The warships could not be separated and could not run away, so they could only let the fire spread on the ship. Yu Jin stood on the small boat and looked at the already
The fire was uncontrollable, and I was in a daze. Looking at the sailors crying for their fathers and mothers, my fists clenched wildly. But I couldn't do anything.
The Jiangdong people continued to throw kerosene into the fire. Every time a can was thrown in, it was like a bomb. Suddenly, there was a huge sound, and the flames shot up several feet high, surpassing the building.
The top of the ship.
Cao Cao did not order a retreat. The soldiers of the navy could only bite the bullet and try their best to avoid the fire, and kept firing arrows towards Jiangdong Army. The three thousand soldiers and horses brought by Huang Gai were shot to death innumerable, and many others died due to the loss of
The warship fell into the river. Huang Gai was also hit by two arrows, one on his left arm and one on his chest. Under the protection of two personal guards, he found a small boat and rowed towards him.
The naval warships burned fiercely, and the sky turned into a sea of fire, which illuminated the entire river red. Yu Jin saw at a glance that a man wearing a general's uniform, protected by two soldiers, was driving a small boat.
Walking south. Yu Jin's eyes were filled with fire, which was not much smaller than the fire in the water village. He loudly ordered: "Turn the helm! Catch up with the small boat!"
Cao Jun's soldiers started to move together, walking like an arrow, ignoring everything on both sides and behind them, and blindly sailed towards Huang Gai's boat. Huang Gai was indeed old, and he was already a little bit injured after suffering such a slight injury.
Unable to bear it, his gray beard kept trembling, and he lay in the boat gasping for air. The two guards rowed the warship hard. They knew that if they could not leave here, they would soon be overtaken by Cao's army.
"Where to go?" Cao Jun shouted together. Huang Gai turned over with great effort and saw a boat chasing him. He immediately realized that something was wrong and asked his guards to continue to speed up.
"Fire arrows!" Yu Jin ordered loudly. The soldiers bent their bows and nocked arrows, aimed at the boat in front and started firing arrows. The river flowed very fast. Although Cao Cao's navy had experienced such training, it was still difficult for him to adapt to the situation as he was a northerner.
.The bows and arrows shot a lot, but not many of them could enter the boat.
Huang Gai laughed loudly: "These northerners are really stupid, don't worry about them, just keep paddling!" The two guards who had been lying in the cabin hurriedly got up and started rocking the oars again.
Yu Jin was furious when he saw that the archers were useless! He reached out and grabbed the bow and arrow from a soldier beside him, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at a Jiangdong soldier who was paddling. As soon as he let go of his right hand, the arrow flew quickly towards the man.
Go. Yu Jin didn't stop. He aimed the second arrow at the other one, but he also let go. The two bows and arrows went one after another, and two screams were heard. The soldier who was struggling to swing the oar suddenly stopped what he was doing.
, his body tilted and he fell into the cabin.
Huang Gai was shocked and hurriedly stabilized the boat. He bent down and endured the pain, took the oar and continued. A strong southeast wind blew in his face, making it difficult for anyone to stand. Fortunately, Huang Gai had learned some water skills and was able to fight with him.
The boat was stabilized. Yu Jin's guide had already arrived. Several hook ropes were thrown over and held Huang Gai's warship tightly. Huang Gai was helpless. If he jumped into the water wearing a battle armor, it would only cost several hundred kilograms.
Can pull oneself underwater.
Yu Jin held the sword in his hand and saw the Jiangdong general in the boat: "Where is Huang Gai? Where is Huang Gai?"
Huang Gai rolled his eyes and said hastily and tremblingly: "General, have mercy on me, I didn't know! He asked me to put on his armor and ran away! General, have mercy on me!"
Yu Jin glanced around. Apart from this small boat, there was no other boat on the entire river. He looked at Huang Gai and said, "How dare you lie to me! You are Huang Gai!" Yu Jin never gave Huang Gai another chance.
He raised his hand and raised the sword high. Before Huang Gai could speak, the sword struck Huang Gai's shoulder. Huang Gai screamed in pain. He didn't say anything anymore. Since he was recognized, he
Fight with them.
Huang Gai suddenly jumped up, pulled out his sword from his waist, and slashed at Yu Jin. Yu Jin was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and Huang Gai hit the muzzle of the gun. In terms of starting the battle, Huang Gai might not be Yu Jin's opponent.
But in the water and on the boat, Yu Jin's performance was greatly restricted. Lao Huang Gaijiu had good water skills in the south of the Yangtze River and still had a slight advantage.
But after all, he was old and injured. After a few rounds, Huang Gai couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing Yu Jin stabbing with his sword, there was nowhere to hide. Huang Gai took a step back reflexively, and his feet fell into the air.
The Yangtze River was rolling with great force. The heavy armor dragged Huang Gai and began to sink into the water. Huang Gai struggled for a few times, and soon he sank in as soon as his head was exposed.
Looking at Huang Gai bubbling in the distance, Yu Jin was still angry: "Crash over and kill Huang Gai!"
