Chapter 363 The Battle of Red Cliff (final chapter)

At night, the river breeze is cool.

The military meeting of the Wu and Chu coalition forces before the war had ended. Zhou Yu brought Lu Meng and Lu Xun to the riverside and looked across the Yangtze River. He saw that the torch in Wulin Village was bright and the sky was filled with fire.

Lu Xun said: "Grandmaster, the Liang army agreed to fight the decisive battle on the Chibi River in three days. It seems that it is ready."

"Grandmaster." Lu Meng asked Zhou Yu worriedly, "The coalition forces in this battle are of great danger."

"Yes, this is exactly what the General Mo is worried about." Lu Xun also echoed, "General Mo is thinking that the Liang army set up floating bridges in three places and expanded Hanyang Water Village, not just to lure our army into divisions to attack. If our army ignores it, the Liang army will probably make a false act and build three floating bridges on the Yangtze River. In this way, the Yangtze River will be at a smooth road and there is no need to fight this battle."

"How can I not know?" Zhou Yu sighed, "But the coalition forces cannot divide the troops."

"well."

Lu Meng and Lu Xun sighed, Zhou Yu was right, Wu and Chu naval troops only had a slight advantage over the Xiliang naval troops. If they were divided again, they might lose the Chibi water battle. If they lost even the water battle, then how would Wu and Chu rely on to resist the Xiliang army's southward advance? The demise of the two countries is not far away.

"The national strength of Liang Kingdom is too strong, and the strength of Liang Army is too strong. If the butcher Ma was willing to wait for another ten years and wait for the Gan Ning naval army to fight Wu, the Chu naval army would have an overwhelming advantage before launching a southern expedition, and the coalition would have no chance to win!" Zhou Yu carried his hands on his back, looking at the dazzling fire on the other side of the shore with a sigh again, "The only opportunity for the coalition army now is to win the Battle of Chibi as soon as possible, eliminate the 70,000 naval army in Gan Ning, and then burn the floating bridge. Even if hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops crossed the Yangtze River, as long as the Liang army's food and supplies cannot cross the Yangtze River, Wu and Chu will have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "But Ganning has been rampant in the Yangtze River waterway for many years and is good at water warfare. Most of the naval soldiers recruited are Huainan and Jingzhou is familiar with the strength of water. Among them, there are many thieves who are rampant in the waterway. In addition, the coalition forces only have a slight advantage in military strength. It is difficult to say that they will win if they fight such an opponent!"

Lu Xun nodded and said, "What's more, the Xiliang Naval Army also has the super rushing warships that General Zhou Tai said. Even if there is a southeast wind, the fire ships will be hit and sunk by these super rushing warships before they get close to the Liang army fleet! There are also the stone throwing machines on the Liang army warships. The generals always think that the horse butcher cannot be aimless. These stone throwing machines may be different from the stone throwing machines we know."

"It's up to people." Zhou Yu sighed, "Since it's a war, there will always be a victory or defeat. As long as you try your best, there will be no regrets."

Lu Meng and Lu Xun looked at each other silently. Although the October wind was not too biting, the two of them felt inexplicably cold at the same time. Even the Grand Commander lost the confidence to defeat the Liang army. In this battle... does the coalition forces still have hope?

Han Shou, Chu State Imperial Palace.

When Cheng Yu and Jia Kui walked into the hall, they found Cao Zhen standing behind the imperial case and were stunned. Cheng Yu stepped forward and called His Majesty softly before awakening Cao Zhen from the confusion. Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said lonely: "Oh, are you here?"

"Your Majesty." Cheng Yu bowed his hand and said respectfully, "The frame is ready."

"Oh." Cao Zhen sighed and asked, "Does he really have to leave?"

Cheng Yu and Jia Kui looked at each other silently.

Cao Zhen said: "Zhongde, is this really what Kong Ming ordered?"

"Yes." Cheng Yu said sadly, "The Prime Minister said that the coalition forces in the Battle of Red Cliff are in danger, so I suggest that you wait for the escort to Guiyang to avoid it for a while."

"Guiyang?" A smirk flashed across Cao Zhen's face, "If the Battle of Red Cliff cannot be won, is it still necessary to go to Guiyang?"

Jia Kui said, "Your Majesty, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood."

"No." Cao Zhen's face gradually became firmer, and he said in a narrow voice, "I don't go anywhere. I'm waiting at Hanshou. If Ma Butcher wants to come, let him come. I'm waiting for him!"

"His Majesty……"

Jianye, Wu Kingdom Palace.

"Father! Father..."

Sun Quan shouted twice and suddenly woke up from the nightmare. Queen Bu rushed forward and hugged Sun Quan, and asked sadly: "What's wrong with you, Master?"

"Huh..." Sun Quan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he realized that he had just had a nightmare. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, he just had a nightmare. He dreamed that his father was covered in blood and was walking towards me step by step. His father's eyes were angry, as if he had something to say to me, but at this moment, Ma Chao thief came and stabbed him with a shot..."

A trace of bitterness appeared on Sun Quan's face, and he didn't say anything more.

Bu Low gently stroked Sun Quan's chest and comforted softly: "The emperor has been working hard for the state affairs for days. I think he is a little tired. Why don't you let the servants come in and offer a few songs and dances to relieve His Majesty's mood?"

"Forget it." Sun Quan waved his hand and frowned, "Now the enemy is in front of me, how can I have this idea?"

"Oh..." Speaking of this, Sun Quan suddenly sighed again, looked up at the West and said sadly, "I don't know what the situation in Jingzhou is like. In this battle, can the coalition forces defeat Ma Butcher Ma with weak defeat and strong to defeat the three million Xiliang army?"

Bu comforted him: "Your Majesty is in great fortune and will surely turn bad luck into good fortune."

"I won't sleep anymore." Sun Quan suddenly bowed his body and sat up and said to Bu, "It's better to change my clothes for me. I suddenly feel that some changes in Wuhu's personnel are needed. Although my second brother is brave, he is stubborn and self-righteous. He may not listen to General He Qi's words. At present, the main forces of the Wu army are all in Jingzhou, so don't let Chen Deng and Tian Yu take advantage of the situation to fight the Yangtze River."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Bu's pink face, and then responded tenderly: "I will change your clothes for Your Majesty."

Three days later, Chibi.

On the vast river surface, thousands of sails competed and hundreds of boats competed. Tens of thousands of warships of all sizes almost filled the river surface dozens of miles wide. Especially the large group of Liang army's serial warships seemed majestic and majestic. Taking the flying hut of a row of serial ships, Gan Ning was wearing a robe of the governor and stood proudly under the crowd of more than a dozen naval generals.

Standing on the Feiluan, looking up from a high point, thousands of ships rushed forward, and the fighting ships were scattered in formation, sailing in front of the fleet of large ships, like guards wearing iron armor escorting the safety of the head coach. In this huge battle group of ships, there are three hundred new warships built by Sima Yi, the Minister of Works.

Looking back suddenly, there was a huge trencher standing on the deck behind him. The slender arm of the trencher was quietly pressing on the deck. The trencher was quietly placed in the throwing basket tied by a cable. The trencher was filled with tinder oil and extremely flammable silk and other debris. Gan Ning had witnessed the power of this giant with his own eyes. The tinder oil tank was still circulating in front of Gan Ning's eyes.

Suddenly, Gan Ning clenched his iron fist tightly. He was determined to win this battle!

On the flagship of the Eastern Wu Navy, Zhou Yu was wearing a Confucian shirt and holding a feather fan. Surrounded by Lu Meng and Lu Xun, he stood above the Feiluo of a super-large tower ship. Looking at the northern river, the sails of the Xiliang Navy almost wanted to cover the entire river. The rows of serial warships turned the undulating river surface into solid land. A large group of Xiliang archers were waiting on the deck of the serial warships.

The situation faced by the Wu and Chu waters was very dangerous. If the Xiliang waters could not be solved, the rockets shot by hundreds of thousands of Xiliang archers would be enough to burn all the coalition warships to ashes! However, when Zhou Yu saw the teams in front of the Liang army's serial warship fleet rushing and fighting fleet, his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom of the river.

However, you will never give up until the last moment.

A faint resolute flashed through Zhou Yu's eyes and said aloud: "Lu Meng."

Lu Meng rushed forward and replied, "Here."

Zhou Yu said: "I ordered Zhou Tai to attack, clear the rushing fleet in front of the Liang army, and clear the obstacles for the fire attack fleet."

"Affect the order."

Lu Meng responded with a loud noise, then turned around and waved his arms hard towards the messenger in the Que Room. The messenger who climbed high on the Que Room quickly raised a red triangle flag and waved it twice to the left. The sound of horns and war drums soared into the sky. A fleet of four or five hundred ships and fighting ships was separated from the coalition's main formation and slowly rushed towards the Xiliang Navy.

On the first place, Zhou Tai stood proudly in a short battle and holding a machete in his hand.

Behind Zhou Tai, fifty Wu army soldiers were holding flying hooks and slings and carrying steel knives, like fifty water ghosts guarding the deck gloomyly. Each of them had cold murderous intent. On land, the Guanliang man was invincible, but on the water, the heroes of Jiangdong were still invincible in the world!

"The boys of Jiangdong!" Zhou Tai raised his machete and shouted sternly, "I will all give me a little bit of energy and let the group of Xiliang local dogs on the opposite side know that the Yangtze River is the world of our Jiangdong heroes. If anyone wants to get a shot, I will make them unable to eat it and let them taste the taste of the hob noodles and wonton noodles!"

"Hahaha……"

The navy soldiers behind Zhou Tai burst into laughter.

Zhou Tai raised his sword and raised his sword, and the laughter of the fierce navy soldiers stopped abruptly. Zhou Tai shouted to the personal soldiers behind him: "Send orders to all ships, listen to my orders later, don't rush to sprint!"

Liang Army’s main formation.

A general said to Gan Ning: "The Grand Commander, there are about four or five hundred ships rushing, and the fighting ships are approaching our army."

"Hmph, it's just right. I am waiting for them." Gan Ning shouted sternly, "Send an order, the front army attack and defeat the Eastern Wu navy!"

"The front army attacked!"

The personal soldiers standing behind Gan Ning quickly raised their heads and roared at the message soldier in the Que Room. The message soldier shivered with a chill, raised the flag and waved it vigorously. The endless sound of horns sounded in the Liang army formation. More than a thousand rushing ships cruising back and forth in front of the formation quickly turned the bow and greeted the Eastern Wu naval army led by Zhou Tai.

In an instant, there were bursts of shouts in front of the two armies.

Amid the intense and suffocating cheers, Zhou Tai raised his machete and shouted loudly: "Send the whole army, rush forward and fight ships behind, set off the attack formation and sprint at the speed of sprinting...attack!"

The so-called "storm" is actually the ancient version of the "iron-armored ship". The hull is narrow and long, the cabin is low and closed, wrapped in animal skin to control fire, the bow is strong and has sharp corners. There are no soldiers in the cabin except oars and oars. Their attack methods are neither side battles nor fire arrows, but pure collisions! The fighting ship is specially used for platoon battles, with female walls resisting arrows on the side. In addition to oars responsible for oars, there are also special dead soldiers ranging from five to fifty people. Dead soldiers are generally equipped with flying hook slings to steal enemy ships.

Although the Eastern Wu navy was in a headwind, it could rush, and the fighting ships did not rely on the sails, so they were not greatly affected by the wind direction.

The two armies were advancing like sharp arrows breaking through the waves, and they were already tied together in less than a cup of tea. In an instant, the "expanding" collision sounded continuously, and dozens of rushing warships had already collided fiercely.

After all, the Eastern Wu navy was a battlefield for a long time and its advantages were fully demonstrated. Due to the hedging of the two armies, the Western Liangshang Crown did not cooperate well enough and basically fought on their own. Therefore, it was difficult to pose a threat to the Eastern Wushang Crown. However, the Eastern Wushang Crown cooperated with his skillful skills. One ship was sideways and the Western Liangshang Crown was slanted to the direction of the Western Liangshang Crown, and then the other ship rushed into the side of the Western Liangshang Crown.

The fast-moving warships are like cavalry on the water, which intersect after contact. When the two countries' rush around and bows are ready for the next round of collision, the fighting ships of the two armies are already entangled together unstoppably. In fact, the battle between the rush and the rush is just the prelude to the war. The competition between the rush ships and the fighting ships and the desperate killing between the dead soldiers of the two countries are the themes of the water war.

"So soo soo..."

More than a dozen flying hooks swept into the air and were deeply nailed into the side of a Liang army fighting ship. The dozen Wu army soldiers holding the pivoting line shouted and tried their best to pull the pivoting line. The two fighting ships quickly approached amid the loud and neat sounds of the Wu army soldiers. Zhou Tai inserted a machete on his back and stood proudly in the front of the ship. His wolf-like eyes were already staring at the other party with a vicious look on a Liang army school.

"Hurry, throw the gun!"

The Liang Army School was not afraid of the enemy. The fighting ship relied on its large size, and there were more than a hundred naval soldiers on the ship. They did not take Zhou Tai's fifty people seriously. They immediately summoned more than 20 gunmen to line up on the side. Amid the shouts of hoarseness, a row of sharp guns had already shot towards the Dongwu Dou Ship. Zhou Tai groaned and waved his knife and dropped several guns on his body.

A miserable hum sounded from behind Zhou Tai, and then a slight sound was heard. Zhou Tai could know without looking back that a soldier must have been shot and fell into the water. At this time, the two ships were less than ten steps apart. Zhou Tai gently pointed the bow of the bamboo pole in his hand, and his huge body had already risen into the air like a big bird, pressing down heavily towards the bow of the Liang army fighting ship.

Zhou Tai was in the air, and the sharp machete had already arrived in his hand. Then he slashed straight and tricked down the Liangjun School's forehead without any tricks. Liangjun School shouted loudly, and raised his sword and stood up. With a loud bang, Zhou Tai had already chopped the Liangjun School and his sword to the ground. Before the Liangjun School could get up, Zhou Tai followed up and slashed the Liangjun School and cut it into two pieces in an instant.

"Kill and kill!"

Amid the shrill shouts, three Xiliang sailors rushed over. A ferocious smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Tai's face. He suddenly roared to the sky. The machete in his hand turned into a ball of light and shadow, roaring across the waists of the three Qiliang sailors. The three Xiliang soldiers who rushed forward suddenly paused, then lowered their heads with some difficulty, and then found that there was a red bloodshot splashing out from his waist.

"Puff puff puff..."

Three pieces of the broken body slid down cruelly from the waist.

A Xiliang soldier who was still lying in a pool of blood still screamed in a deep voice: "Mom, I want to go home..."

The two ships finally met, and a strong Wu army school first jumped onto the Liang army fighting ship, and the steel knife in his hand went with everything. The Xiliang soldiers' howls stopped suddenly, and a wisp of soul finally returned to their hometown. In less than a moment, several Eastern Wu dead soldiers had followed Zhou Tai and killed the Liang army fighting ship. More than a hundred Xiliang soldiers could not resist the enemy and retreated step by step under the attack of the Wu army.

The same bloody scene was staged continuously on the river. The hundreds of fighting ships of the Liang and Wu army were already entangled together. Nearly 10,000 soldiers were striving to kill for their own survival. This would be a life or death battle. The sword lights were everywhere, blood splashed, and broken limbs fell into the river. The red blood had already moistened the river.

Finally, even the last Liang army soldier was killed by Zhou Tai on the spot.

"Aoha..."

Zhou Tai raised his machete and let out a long whistle.

"Aoha..."

"Aoha..."

"Aoha..."

More than a thousand Wu soldiers who survived roared one after another. Although the casualties were heavy, the Eastern Wu navy had already won the lead no matter what!

"hateful!"
