"After you become a famous general, you don't think about how to revive the Han Dynasty, but you help Cao Cao and Yang Cao. Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will scold you under Jiuquan in the future?"

Ma Chao didn't have a good temper to begin with.

After hearing what Guan Yu said, he suddenly became furious.

"Since you are so reckless, let's see if you can still be so arrogant after the city is destroyed!"

"That depends on whether you have the ability!"

Guan Yu snorted coldly.

"Let's see!"

As soon as Ma Chao pulled the reins, he stopped talking nonsense to Guan Yu and went straight back to his own formation.

"Xingba, that Guan Yu is indeed as proud as the general said."

Ma Chao said angrily.

"Wait a minute and it will make him less proud."

Gan Ning sneered and ordered,

"Send my military order and prepare to attack!"

On this expedition, Gan and Ning each led a battalion of troops.

However, both Ma Chao and Wei Yan were cavalry, so the only ones responsible for the main attack were the infantry of Gan Ning and Wenpin.

Six thousand infantry were arranged in a neat square formation, advancing slowly but firmly towards the water village.

Wen Pin and Wei Yan, who were watching the battle from behind, looked a little nervous.

Without siege weapons and only 6,000 infantry, how easy is it to capture the water stronghold guarded by Guan Yu and Wan Shui's army?

I don’t know what kind of confidence Gan Ning has?

Guan Yu, who was on the wall of the village, also had the same question in his mind.

But looking at Cao Jun getting closer and closer, he didn't think much, but waved his hand,

"Fire the arrow!"

In an instant, countless feather arrows shot out from the water stronghold.

Even the warships docked on the shore fired thousands of arrows.

A dense rain of arrows shot towards Cao Jun.

Although Cao's soldiers in the front row raised the giant shield in their hands to resist.

But in the face of a dense rain of arrows, casualties are inevitable.

However, none of Cao Jun's soldiers stopped, but continued to advance forward resolutely!

Guan Yu, Guan Xing and others in the water village became more and more confused.

Even if these 6,000 infantry soldiers reach the foot of the village wall, what will happen?

Without siege equipment, would it be possible for them to pile corpses into a hill in order to climb the wall?

When they were confused, Cao Jun had already arrived less than ten steps away from the camp.

At such a close distance, both parties can see each other's faces clearly.

However, at this moment, Cao Jun stopped advancing and chose to form a formation where he was!

Before Guan Yu and the others could figure out Cao Jun's intentions, they saw countless black shadows flying out of Cao Jun's formation.

Guan Yu and Guan Ping were startled. When they looked closely, they saw that what Cao Jun threw out were countless clay pots.

These clay pots fell on the wall of the village, and there was a sputtering sound in the camp, followed by countless viscous black liquids slowly flowing out.

"What is this?"

Guan Yu frowned, approached a puddle of liquid, stretched out his hand to dip a little of it, and when he got closer to smell it, he felt a pungent smell coming to his face.

"It seems like kerosene?"

Guan Ping was a little unsure.

"Is this Cao Jun planning to use fire to attack? He really has no brains."

Guan Xing sneered.

Although the buildings in the water village are all made of strong wood, the issue of fire protection was considered as early as the construction.

All wood has been specially treated and will not ignite easily.

In addition, a layer of soil will be applied to the outside to create a fireproof layer.

With a two-pronged approach, it is basically impossible to catch fire.

But despite this, Guan Yu still did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered,

"Come here, get some water and prepare to put out the fire."

Before the navy in the stronghold could take action, countless rockets roared out of Cao's army's formation.

When it fell on those dark oils, a raging fire ignited!

Fortunately, the water village was built on the edge of the Han River, so it was very convenient for Guan Yu's soldiers to fetch water.

However, when the first batch of soldiers returning from fetching water poured water on the fire, a shocking scene happened!

Not only did the flames not go out, they were even burning on the water!

"This...how is this possible?!"

Guan Ping was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.

Not to mention him, Guan Xing and Guan Yinping, even the well-informed Guan Yu was dumbfounded.

They have never heard of such a flame that can burn on the water!

"Father, you...look!"

Guan Yinping pointed to the river not far away, her beautiful eyes full of shock.

Guan Yu and his son looked in the direction she pointed, and were immediately surprised again!

If the fire in the water village could not be put out because the soldiers did not bring enough water, then what happened on the river was really unbelievable to them.

Many of the clay pots thrown from Cao's army landed on warships by the river, and the thick black liquid inside also dripped into the Han River.

At this moment, a raging fire broke out on the surface of the Han River!

Witnessing such an unbelievable thing, Guan Yu's soldiers and horses were immediately frightened!

"It must have something to do with the black paste in the clay pot!"

Guan Yu finally understood that this kind of fire that could not be extinguished by water and could even burn on the water must be because of those black pastes!

But even if he understood, what could he do?

The fire on the wall could not be extinguished, and his soldiers were forced to retreat.

When Guan Yu saw this, his heart sank.

At the same time, Cao Jun saw a raging fire burning on the wall of the stronghold, but there was no one to resist.

They quickly approached the wall and buried the black powder under the wall.

Just hearing a loud "boom", the walls of Shuizhai suddenly fell into pieces!

"kill!"

Wei Yan raised his arms and shouted, holding up the long knife in his hand, and rushed into the water stronghold bravely.

Gan Ning also became murderous and handed over the army to Wenpin's command.

He and Ma Chao rushed towards the water village.

At this time, in the water stronghold, after experiencing fires and gunpowder explosions, Guan Yu's troops were in dire straits.

Facing the enemy troops who rushed in with murderous intent, they were no match at all and were beaten back steadily!

"Tanzhi!"

Guan Yu wielded the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and killed two of Cao's soldiers who rushed towards him with one strike. He turned around and shouted.

When he heard his father calling him, Guan Ping also came over and joined Guan Yu.

"What did father say?!"

"You immediately take An Guo (Guan Xing brand) and Yin Ping back to the ship, we are ready to withdraw!"

Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

"What, father, are we about to withdraw now?"

Guan Ping was surprised.

"Why are you still standing there? If you don't evacuate, we will all stay here!"

Guan Yu said sharply.

He has played against Yang Ling for so many years, so he naturally understands Yang Ling's style and strengths very well.

Without the stronghold wall to rely on, and Cao's army having flames that could burn on the water, this battle would be impossible to win!
