Chapter 247 Cao Aman, even God helps me!

Wulin Port, late at night.

Li Su tiptoed in front of the Ma Yue Central Army's tent. Just as he was about to go further, a big man like an iron tower suddenly appeared in front of Li Su like a ghost. The two dark iron halberds had already been put on Li Su's neck. Li Su shook his hand anxiously and said, "General Dian Wei, don't take action, it's under, Li Su."

"Mr. Li Su?" Dian Wei put away the big iron halberd and said in a deep voice, "It's so late, what are you doing?"

Li Su hurriedly said, "I have something urgent to see my lord."

"Who is outside the tent?" As the two were talking, Ma Yue's voice came from the tent, "It's late at night, and I'm not allowed to sleep."

Dian Wei hurriedly replied: "Lord, Lord Li Su has something urgent to ask for a meeting."

In the big tent, Ma Yue yawned and said lazily: "Let him come in."

Dian Wei flew away, and Li Su bent down and entered the big tent. He saw Ma Yue lazily leaning on the brocade mat to read a book. A furnace of charcoal fire in the big tent was burning vigorously, making people drowsy.

"Li Su, what's the urgent matter?"

Li Su straightened his clothes and bowed and said, "Su came to the night and lay on the couch to meditate. Suddenly, he thought that the lord's plan for the serial boat was a mistake, so he came to make a quick comment."

"Oh?" Ma Yue asked, "What's wrong?"

"Fire Attack!" Li Su Ning said, "The lord's series of large ship plans can certainly help Liangzhou soldiers overcome the discomfort of boating on the water and minimize the non-combat reduction of Liangzhou soldiers. However, once they are subjected to fire attack, all the large ships cannot avoid them because they are connected by iron chains, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Um."

Ma Yue nodded when he heard this, thinking that Li Su is not only eloquent, but also has some intelligence, but he is still a good person. However, Ma Yue is a future person and studied the Battle of Red Cliffs in elementary school. How could he not have imagined that the fatal flaw of a chain of large ships being susceptible to fire attacks?

But Ma Yue still ordered Gan Ning to connect fifty three-story building ships, so there was naturally his reason.

"Zi Yan (Li Subiao's name is a little bit too much." Ma Yue said wildly, "Wulin Port has been captured by our army, and Liu Biao's Jingzhou navy has been damaged! Even if a series of large ships are prone to fire attacks, someone must come up with this fire attack plan, and even an army must set up this fire, right?"

Li Su nodded gently and said nothing.

Ma Yue said again: "Zi Yan can rest assured. This general has compiled a letter and ordered people to send it to Xiangyang and ordered Liu Biao to offer 100,000 stones of food and grass. Of course, this is just a laugh. The purpose is nothing more than to tell Liu Biao that our Xiliang army will leave Jingzhou soon and go south to Jiangdong. Liu Biao is a guardian dog. He will only be secretly grateful to him when he heard this news. How could he send troops to burn my chain of ships?"

Ma Yue's words are true.

In the Battle of Red Cliffs in history, the reason why Cao Cao's 830,000 troops were burned was not only because of the fatal factor that a series of large ships were susceptible to fire attacks, but also because Cao Cao's opponents were Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and a well-trained and tenacious Jiangdong Navy! If it weren't for that Jiangdong Navy, the Battle of Red Cliff would have been a completely different ending.

Liu Biao is not Zhou Yu, and the current Jingzhou navy is not the powerful Jiangdong navy in the Battle of Chibi!

"So that's it." Li Su suddenly said, "The lord is far-sighted, and Su is hard to match."

"Haha, there is no need to say these words of flattery. I don't like to listen." Although Ma Yue said he didn't like to listen, the smile on his face told Li Su that it was not the case at all. Ma Yue said again, "The army will go to war tomorrow. Zi Yan quickly return the burial and pay the bill to expiry."

"So, the villain said goodbye."

Li Su bowed to Ma Yue and turned around and left.

However, eight out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory.

Ma Yue predicted that Liu Biao would not dare to touch his bad temper, but never expected that this time his opponent was not Liu Biao, but Cao Cao! Ma Yue did not expect that although Wulin Port was in a fall, the Jingzhou naval army was not actually injured. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led a part of the Jingzhou naval army to set up an ambush at Sanjiangkou and escaped by accident.

Because the Jingzhou naval army is huge, it is far beyond Ma Yue's imagination, and beyond the imagination of Jinfan thieves Gan Ning and Jiangxia thieves Chen Hu and Zhang Bao. When Ma Yue and his friends faced the captured fifty tower ships, thousands of rushing ships, and countless boats, no one expected that this was actually not the entire Jingzhou naval ship.

Coincidentally, accidental additions have resulted in inevitable consequences - Ma Yue unscrupulously built fifty tower ships into chain large ships, in order to improve the stability of the river surface as much as possible, reduce the non-combat reduction of Liangzhou soldiers as much as possible, and maintain the combat effectiveness of this Liangzhou Iron Cavalry as much as possible.

Because after arriving in Jiangdong, there are endless battles and fierce battles waiting for this tiger and wolf army!

Xiangyang, Liu Biao’s official residence.

"What! Wulin Port was captured by the horse butcher?"

Liu Biao suddenly stood up and stared at Zhang Nan, the navy commander who was dressed in disheveled clothes and looked embarrassed. Huang Zhong, Liu Pan, Wen Pin, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Zou Jing, Han Xuan, Jin Xuan and others were all disgusted. Wulin Port is not only a major military center in Jingxiang, but also a large village for the Jingzhou navy.

Not only were Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's elite naval forces stationed in the village, but there were also more than ten years of military rations and a large amount of military equipment. More importantly, Wulin Port is in a dangerous terrain, and it is impossible to be attacked by a more powerful naval army. The horse butcher only had 8,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry, how could it be captured by the Wulin Port Naval Army?

"Tai and Zhang Er led the main force of the navy to set up an ambush at the Sanjiangkou, which made the Dazhai empty." Zhang Nan said tragically, "Ma Ni surrendered the Jinfan thief who was rampant in the Yangtze River waterway, and then built a giant chain of ships to attack. Our army caught us off guard. Although we fought bloody battles, we were outnumbered. The Wulingang Naval Army Dazhai was finally captured."

"Cai Mao, where is Zhang Yun?" Liu Biao said furiously, "Why didn't the main force of the navy return to the aid of the navy? Why!?"

Zhang Nansu, Cai and Zhang were disagreeing, and whispered in a low voice: "The last general also sent someone to send a letter to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but he never saw reinforcements. In fact, if the two governors could give up the ambush plan and return to Wulin Port in time, they might be able to take back the naval camp while Ma Ni was not yet stable."

"Hey!" Liu Pan said, "Wulin Port has been captured. What is the point of the ambush by the two governors Cai and Zhang at Sanjiangkou? With the giant tower ships in the village of Wulin Port, as well as the turmoil and fighting ships, the two governors are no longer a fishing boat that is not a messy and powerless fight back, but a Jinfan thief armed by a large number of warships."

"Report..." As soon as Liu Pan finished speaking, a small school suddenly stepped into the tent and said loudly, "Governor of Liangzhou, General Pingxi Ma Yue came."

"Um?"

“Huh?”

"The messenger of the horse butcher?"

Liu Biao's face turned pale and he said in a calm voice: "Please!"

Everyone in the hall looked sideways and looked at the entrance of the hall, but saw a figure flashing at the door. A Liangzhou school had already entered with a high fist and bowed casually to Liu Biao, and said proudly: "According to the order of the lord, come and tell the Jingzhou Mu Liu: This general will lead a large army of water and land to Jiangdong soon, but only lack military rations. You can only transport 100,000 shi of military rations to Jiangling within ten days, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Cang..."

"Cang..."

As the school finished speaking, the generals Wei Yan, Wen Pin, Huang Zhong, and Liu Pan in the hall were already so angry that their faces turned pale. They drew out their swords and wanted to kill the Liangzhou School that was sent to the order. The Liangzhou School coldly glanced at the indignant generals of Jingzhou, and stumbled their necks forward, as if they wanted to kill them.

"Stop!" Liu Biao's face was cold and shouted, "Don't be rude."

"hateful!"

Wei Yan and his generals returned to their swords and sheaths and retreated angrily.

Liangzhou Primary School sneered and said to Liu Biao: "Since Liu Jingzhou has no intention of leaving the head of the general, then the general will say goodbye."

Liu Biao said coldly: "No gift."

"snort!"

Liangzhou Primary School groaned, and finally glanced at the generals of Jingzhou fiercely, turned around and left.

As soon as the Liangzhou school left, Han Xuan came out and said, "Lord, the horse butcher bullied too much. He immediately mobilized all the land and sea soldiers of the eight counties of Jingxiang to fight the horse butcher to death in Jiangling to avenge the public humiliation today."

Liu Biao glanced at Han Xuan coldly and asked quietly: "Does Lord Han Xuan think that the Jingzhou army can defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the Horse Butcher in Jiangling?"

"this……"

Han Xuan was speechless.

Jin Xuan observed his face and knew that Liu Biao was afraid and had no intention of fighting with the butcher Ma, so he went out and said, "The officials thought that it was not appropriate to provoke the butcher Ma now. He could symbolically transport some old grain to Jiangling. As long as this group of tiger and wolf troops could leave the land of Jingxiang earlier, it would be better than anything else."

"This is just a trick of the butcher Ma." Han Xuan said anxiously, "If the lord really offers 100,000 stones of military rations, I am afraid that the butcher Ma will be more and more unwilling to leave Jingxiang."

"No." Li Yan retorted, "I think the butcher Ma condemns the military rations to be a false alarm, and threatens the lord not to make rash moves! In other words, it is true that the Xiliang army will not go south to Jiangdong even if it is not a false alarm."

"Oh?" Liu Biao's expression moved and he said in a calm voice, "Why did Zheng Fang (Li Yanbiao's name) say this?"

Li Yan Youyou said, "Although Jingxiang is good, it is not the place where the butcher of horses stay for a long time."

"Um..." Liu Biao was also a member of the Eight Horses. He immediately heard the news and immediately shouted, "Come here, order Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to cancel the ambush plan at Sanjiangkou immediately and lead the navy back to Xiangyang to standby, and there must be no mistakes!"

Sanjiangkou.

A boat was flying and leaning on the side of Cai Mao's ship. A cable had already been thrown from the side of the ship. A navy school climbed onto the ship as quickly as a monkey. Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Cao Cao and others, who had been waiting at the bow of the ship, rushed forward. Cai Mao asked in a deep voice: "What's the situation?"

"It's leaving the port!" The Navy School gasped violently and said in a voice, "There are fifty tower ships, each ten, one row, five rows in front and back, all connected together! There are thousands of ships rushing, and the fighting ships are also chained into several strings with iron chains, loaded with food and grass, followed by the armour, and went down the river!"

"Okay! The butcher Ma really built a chain of big ships!" Cao Cao beat the clan hard and said to Cai Mao, "General Cai Mao, are the fire ships ready?"

Cai Mao smiled grimly and said, "According to the Prime Minister's order, everything is ready."

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded, put on a tent and looked northwest from a distance, and said, "The wind is blowing right now, and the wind helps the fire. This time the horse butcher will definitely die!"

Sanjiangkou.

Ma Yue's huge fleet swaggered down the ground and finally appeared on the vast river.

Ma Yue stood solemnly beside the generals of Ganning, Chen Hu, Zhang Bao, and Dian Wei, pointing at the vast river. Ma Yue saw the vast river surface, and his passion was flooded with his heart. He wanted to recite a few ancient poems to express his feelings. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he only thought about it and only thought of a word that the rolling Yangtze River flowed eastward, and then there was no further information.

"Huh, what is that?"

As soon as the big ship crossed the estuary of the river, the wide surface of the Xiangjiang River also appeared for the first time. The magnificent landscape of the two rivers converged gradually appeared in front of everyone. Dian Wei had extraordinary eyesight and soon discovered that a row of small black dots were slowly squirming on the Xiangjiang River. He subconsciously asked Gan Ning.

"Hmm?" Gan Ning put on a cold tent and looked northwest for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a cold voice, "It's the Jingzhou navy's rushing and fighting ship!"

"There are at least a thousand ships!"

Jiangxia thief Zhang Bao added.

"This is impossible! It is absolutely impossible!"

Ma Yue was startled and almost fell into the rolling river flowing eastward. The sun came out from the west. Looking up at the sky, dark clouds rolled up from the sky, covering the setting sun. Liu Biao, a well-established dog, dared to send the remaining Jingzhou naval army to get into trouble? This doesn't look like Liu Biao's personality! Ma Yue felt something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't think of something wrong.

"That's right, that's the Jingzhou Navy!"

Jiangxia thief Chen Hu finally added a certain sentence.

In just a moment, the Jingzhou Navy's fleet was approaching much closer.

"Master." Gan Ning suddenly turned around and looked at Ma Yue and said, "What should I do now?"

Ma Yue swallowed his saliva with difficulty and asked Gan Ning: "If the Jinfan thief and Jiangxia thieves (more than a thousand people) attacked, can they repel this Jingzhou navy?"

"It's impossible!" Gan Ning shook his head and said in a calm voice, "The difference in strength is too great! This Jingzhou navy has more than 10,000 people! Moreover, the wind direction and water flow are all unfavorable to our army. If you attack rashly, you will definitely lose."

"His grandma." Ma Yue cursed viciously, "If this Jingzhou army really wants to play a fire attack strategy, I should finish it."
