Call a command and the fire surged into the sky.

The thousands of huge bamboo rafts were covered with grass people, filled with flammable objects such as grease. When the fire started, it started to burn in a blink of an eye.

After the fire broke out, Lu Meng ordered the rope to be untied and the bamboo rafts with flames floated eastward.

Thousands of bamboo rafts burned wildly, covering almost the entire Yangtze River.

This kind of fire rises, and when you look from afar, it looks like a huge fire net, stretching across the north and south sides of the Yangtze River, and slowly moving towards the downstream flat laying with the momentum of the flow.

At the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the enemy's naval forces are coming against the current.

Hundreds of warships were laid on the river surface, and the fighting ships and the rushing were distributed in an orderly manner. There were boats to contact each other. You could tell at a glance that this fleet was a very good at water warfare and was in control of the overall situation.

At the center of the fleet, there was a huge tower ship, which was five floors high above and below, like a giant beast floating on the surface of the river.

The big banner with the word "Sun" is proudly fluttering in the wind.

On the fifth deck, Sun Ce was holding a sword with one hand and a silver spear with the other, staring into the distance and looking ahead.

Inside the ears, the sound of sailors' horns echoed in their ears, and the waves of the Yangtze River meandered westward like jade belts.

Sun Ce was vaguely seeing clusters of cloud sails appearing at the end of the jade belt. He knew that it was Yuan Fang's naval army coming.

Not long after, the patrol ship ahead of the fleet sent the latest reconnaissance information. The upstream was indeed an enemy navy under the banner of "Lu". At the same time, the Qi army's infantry and cavalry were also discovered on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

"It's this Lu Meng again, huh. I let you win by chance last time, but I want to see if you still have that luck."

Sun Ce's mouth was a little proud, and immediately ordered that the ships keep a distance and not get too close to each other. He also asked some fire-rejecting ships equipped with poles to sail forward to prevent the enemy from setting fire down the exile.

The terrain of the waters in Fankou area is not very open. If the fleet's formation is too dense, once the Qi army in the upstream drops the fire ships, it will be difficult for the ships in the downstream to avoid them.

Sun Ce has been circulating in the Yangtze River for many years and claims to be invincible in the water war. He is not a praising name. He is good at water warfare. Naturally, he knows it well. Therefore, he ordered the ship to distance himself. At the same time, he ordered the ship to resist the fire to come forward and serve as the "firewall" of the entire fleet.

Sun Ce believed that as long as he could defend against the Qi army's arson ships, once the two armies joined forces, his Jiangdong naval army would undoubtedly win.

Moreover, he has also developed a set of tactics to defeat the Qi army's thunderbolt gunship.

Each ship moved according to the order, and the entire fleet continued to go upstream. The figures of Qi's ships gradually became clearer in the upstream.

Suddenly, several red shadows appeared in Sun Ce's vision. He quickly confirmed that the shadow was the shadow of a torch.

"Hmph, this kid Lu Meng is indeed trying to set the fireboat, and his methods are nothing but Err."

Sun Ce sneered, expecting the enemy to take the initiative and see through the opponent's moves in advance. A little bit of pride and confidence could not help but pass through the face of the Jiangdong little overlord.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce ordered the fire ships to be prevented from intercepting the enemy's fire ships and ordered the ships to be prepared to avoid the fire ships going downstream at any time.

After the order was passed, the soldiers of Jiangdong soldiers from each ship immediately became alert and guarded their posts, preparing to face the enemy.

The flames gradually rose, and in a short while, the waters ahead were already full of fireworks, and the bulging flames quickly approached downstream.

Sun Ce stroked his beard and held the sword, with a calm expression on his face, and did not take the fire ship that was hit by him seriously.

On the lower deck, Gan Ning, who was concentrating on observing the enemy's situation, his brows gradually became solemn.

"The fire ships that the Qi army went downstream seemed a bit unusual..."

Gan Ning murmured to himself, and suddenly, his eyes suddenly gathered, and a hint of fear flashed through.

Before he could think too much, he quickly climbed onto the fifth deck and panted to Sun Ce, "Lord, the enemy is cheating, please order the withdrawal of troops quickly."

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers on the five decks changed their expressions.

Sun Ce frowned immediately, turned his head suddenly, and glared at Gan Ning fiercely, with a hint of anger on his expression.

The two armies were about to fight, but Gan Ning said at the last minute that such words that shake the morale of the army would not make Sun Ce angry?

Just as he was about to be reprimanded, Gan Ning rushed forward and pointed to the firelight upstream: "Lord, you see, the enemy's use is not a fire boat, but a bamboo raft that burns fire, and it covers the river very wide, so it can't stop it at all."

When Sun Ce heard this, he pulled out of his preconceptions and looked upwards to the west again.

Gradually, Sun Ce's face became solemn, his calm expression faded, and instead he suddenly became surprised.

As Gan Ning said, in the upstream direction, the one that came along the river was not a fire boat, but countless huge bamboo rafts, with the large number of which almost cut off the entire river surface.

Sun Ce immediately understood the intention of Qi army. Lu Meng had long thought that he would be prepared, so he simply covered the entire river with fire rafts. Such a wide fire made his fleet unable to avoid it.

"This kid Lu Meng actually..."

Sun Ce was shocked, his face was filled with anger and surprise, and his teeth were clenched, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing this, Gan Ning said anxiously: "Lord, the enemy's fire raft is still far away. Now it's still time to turn the bow of the ship to withdraw troops. If the fire raft approaches a little further, there will be danger of annihilation of the entire army."

As soon as this said, Sun Ce was shocked and fear suddenly arose on his face.

He is very good at water battles and has used fire attack tricks in his life. He should know what the consequences would be if he was caught in the fire ship trick.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Forget it, I didn't expect Yuan Fang to be so treacherous. He quickly sent orders to make the entire army turn around and retreat eastward."

The flag is shaken, and the order to retreat is issued by the flagship.

On those warships, the soldiers of Jiangdong Army, who were already full of fighting spirit, were already panicked when facing the fire net coming from the Hengjiang River. However, when the order to retreat was issued, the ships quickly turned around and retreated downstream regardless of everything.

On the shore, watching the fleet coming from Sun Ce, turn around in a hurry, watch the long fire net continue to push downstream, and then look at his own fleet, following and chasing with mighty power. Yuan Fang smiled while watching the changes.

Guo Jia's strategy was indeed very sinister and forced the Jiangdong army to retreat without any effort. Although it seemed that it could not burn the enemy's fleet in one fell swoop, its goal had been achieved.

The purpose of this battle is to capture the enemy camp in Fankou and open the gate to Chaisang, rather than to wipe out Sun Ce's naval army.

Now that the enemy naval army had retreated, Yuan Fang did not hesitate and immediately ordered all infantry troops to go along the river bank to Fankou Ferry more than ten miles away.

Tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry troops were moving like the wind. After half an hour, the enemy camp in Fankou came into view.

At this time, Sun Ce's naval army had also evacuated to the water camp and wanted to retreat to the water camp and defend himself on the spot, but unfortunately, the fire raft that followed destroyed his intentions.

In the water camp of the Jiangdong Army, many trestles extended into the water. If the fire raft hits like this, the entire water camp will be ignited soon. The second water camps are connected to each other. Once the water camps catch a fire, the dry camps will soon be affected.

If Sun Ce chooses to retreat into the water camp, he will wait to jump into the fire pit of hundreds of his warships and more than 30,000 naval troops.

In desperation, Sun Ce had to abandon Fankou Village and led the panic-like army to flee towards Chaisang.

Sun Ce's retreat was a pity for Cao Pi who was left in the village and his thousands of Cao troops.

Because Sun Ce's army retreated too quickly, there was no time to notify the remaining troops in the village. When Cao Pi was shocked and planned to retreat by boat, the fire raft upstream had already arrived.

The rows of giant rafts, which were burning with raging fire, crashed into the water camp with a downstream rushing momentum. In just a moment, they ignited the pier and the docking battleships. Then, the fire spread along the pier and the shore.

Seeing that the warship was burned and the flames rushed over, Cao Pi, in frightened, could only give up the idea of ​​retreating from the water and rushed to Hanzhai, trying to escape from the land.

When Cao Pi and his frightened soldiers fled out of the camp in a hurry, they were frightened to find that a tiger and wolf army had been lined up outside the camp, and countless bloodthirsty eyes were staring at them hungryly.

Yuan Fang immediately stood proudly in front of the formation, with a hideous sneer surging on his heroic face.

Facing the panic-like Cao army, Yuan Fang's heart was as deep as iron. The painting halberd that had countless drinking blood slowly raised and drew hard towards the enemy camp.

The sound of killing as the sky collapsed and the earth broke out was like a tide. Tens of thousands of generals and cavalry who had been ready to move for a long time were like a flood that broke the dam, holding the power of killing everything, and pounced on the enemy unstoppable.

The people's hearts of these thousands of Cao's naval troops were already depressed, and their combat effectiveness on land was extremely poor. Now facing the ten times the enemy, the Qi army that was attacked by Mount Tai, the thousands of anxious Cao's army were in a blink of an eye, and they were in a hurry to collapse and they ran away from all sides with their heads in their arms.

This time, Yuan Fang did not rush into battle, but chose to Zhuma to appreciate the performances of his soldiers.

Now that he has to kill the enemy with a tenfold army, why does Yuan Fang need to do it himself? He just enjoys watching the soldiers perform.

The frightened Cao's army was burning its butts behind, and tigers and wolves rushed over in front. More than a thousand enemies who had nowhere to escape were killed and surrendered, and they were killed in a blink of an eye.

Cao Pi in the chaotic army was both desperate and angry.

In a desperate situation, he looked through the layers of encirclement troops and caught a glimpse of the emperor standing with a stern under the emperor's "Qi".

Cao Pi knew that it must be Yuan Fang.

"I don't expect that this traitor named Yuan Fang is so treacherous. Now I am in a desperate situation and have no way to escape. Could it be that my Cao Pi and my Cao family really want to be destroyed by this traitor?"

In despair, Cao Pi shouted to the sky, feeling extremely sad and angry, only regretting that God was unfair.

Looking around, his subordinates fought less and less, and he was indeed surrounded and had no way to retreat.
