"I will be the man who reunites the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty!"
Even Cao Cao was filled with excitement and excitement when he heard this word from Lu Yan.
When the war started, both sides believed that they were sure of victory, and the morale of the entire army was high, eager to decide the outcome in a battle!
Especially the generals in Jiangdong, they now even feel that after this battle, this day will be recorded in history.
Because they only relied on the nine counties of Jiangdong to defeat Cao Cao, who owned more than half of the world!
"So what if we have an army of millions? We Jiangdong's men are still defeated?"
And as part of the team that defeated Cao Cao, they will surely become famous all over the world and let their names be sung forever in the long river of history.
Zhou Yu gave an order, and all the fleets in the Yangtze River and Chibi Camps rushed out and launched a decisive charge in the direction of the fire rising into the sky!
Huang Gai's and Lü Meng's naval forces were the closest to Cao's camp, and they were also the first to attack Cao's military camp.
Then, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, one on the left and one on the right, formed a pincer-like offensive to outflank Cao's troops from both sides, chasing and killing Cao's troops who were fleeing in all directions.
After Huang Gai and Lu Meng, came the main force of the Chinese army led by Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng and Zhou Yu. Their fleets were all killed at this moment, and they were about to work together to defeat the strong with the weak, just like how Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao!
All generals capable of fighting have now launched an attack on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Victory or defeat, it all depends on this!
The fierce southeast wind blew Zhou Yu's scarlet cloak into a rustling sound.
Zhou Yu stood on his big ship and looked at Cao Jun's camp with flames soaring into the sky from a distance.
"Bo Fu, have you seen all this in the sky?"
"With such a strong southeast wind tonight, you must be protecting Jiangdong."
"Thanks to your care, the fire has engulfed Cao Jun's water stronghold, and it will not be long before it spreads to their land camp."
"At this point, our army has basically won."
However, before Zhou Yu could finish his thoughts, a loud and uniform sound suddenly came from both sides of the land camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River!
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Zhou Yu heard the loud noise that had kept him awake at night again. His eyes flashed and he murmured: "Lu Yan Navy's artillery!"
Zhou Yu, who thought he was sure of victory, suddenly felt a sense of solemnity in his heart when he thought of Lu Yan's face that was paler than his.
Zhou Yu was not afraid of anyone else, not even Cao Cao. Only Lu Yan, who was always doing unknown things, gave him the most headaches and fear.
However, Zhou Yu was still very confident in his calculations and army.
"Even if you have artillery, you can't change the fact that you will lose!" Zhou Yu encouraged himself in his heart, saying: "The fire has destroyed your military morale, and you are no longer able to make effective resistance at all!"
At Cao Jun's water stronghold in the north of the Yangtze River, more than 300 warships were deliberately released, and at this moment fully one-third of them were set on fire.
If this trend continues, I am afraid that within a quarter of an hour, all three hundred warships will be reduced to ashes in the fire.
Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu and others had already led their troops to bypass the fire and boarded the north bank first...
Sure enough, looking around, all the soldiers of Cao Cao's army on the shore were running away with their heads in their hands, and the fire had defeated Cao's army's morale.
Among the panicked soldiers of Cao Jun, some were still trying to put out the fire with buckets, but no one organized a resistance to the incoming Jiangdong Army.
However, what they never expected was that the panic of Cao's soldiers was actually all faked. It was just because Huang Gai and others were so eager to achieve success that they did not pay attention to these details.
The enemy army is in chaos, this is the best time to rush and kill!
Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Jiang Qin and others were all veteran generals on the battlefield. Seeing the rare opportunity, they led their troops to the shore and rushed over.
"Thief Cao, your Grandpa Huang Gongfu has come to surrender! Hahahaha!"
Huang Gai took his big sword, jumped out of the warship first, and rushed to the front. Lü Meng followed closely behind him with his army.
"Hahaha, you said you were a powerful army in the world, but after being burned by fire, didn't you turn it into a bunch of rabble?"
"Cao's army is nothing more than that. Follow me, my sons, to kill all of Cao's army and capture Cao Cao and Lu Yan alive!"
Cheng Pu and others also landed ashore. They looked at Cao Jun who "seemed" to be in a panic. With a wave of his hand, the whole army came forward!
Huang Gai sneered, holding up the big knife, and looked around with a murderous expression.
The Jiangdong Pioneer Army under Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Jiang Qin and others was not large in number, probably only thirty thousand.
They stepped on land one by one, and using the light of the fire, they launched an attack towards Cao Jun's main camp!
Jiangdong's army charged all the way, but did not encounter any resistance.
Cheng Pu, who thought he had everything under control, suddenly felt something was wrong.
Cao's army has many capable men. Even if the fire frightens the army, it will not be completely without resistance!
Unfortunately, Huang Gai and others had already been dazzled by the temptation of victory, and were completely unaware of this strange point. Cheng Pu wanted to remind him, but it was too late.
Just when Cheng Pu realized something was wrong,
Sima Yi waved his hand and ordered in a deep voice:
"ignition!"
"Fire the gun!"
“Bang bang bang!!”
The artillery sprayed out flames violently, and the iron bullets, accompanied by the roar, suddenly crashed into the Jiangdong Army's formation!
The sudden artillery attack caught Huang Gai and others off guard. They never thought that the enemy would actually set up an ambush in advance.
But Jiangdong's troops are now completely prepared. No matter bows, arrows or artillery, they can't stop their progress at this moment!
After several rounds of shelling, the effect was not satisfactory.
It turned out that after Cheng Pu discovered that the enemy was ambushing with artillery and bows and arrows, he ordered the entire army to disperse and reduce the density of the crowd.
After sacrificing two to three hundred soldiers, Jiangdong's army quickly rushed outside Cao's camp.
Knowing that the enemy would definitely attack towards the ambush site, Sima Yi could only ask people to pull the artillery away in advance.
"Little trick!" Seeing that the enemy's ambush had withdrawn, Cheng Pu was not too surprised.
Without the harassment of enemy artillery, Jiangdong's army re-formed a shield formation and prepared to attack Cao's main camp!
The roars coming from the north bank covered up the sound of warships cutting through the rapids in the river.
Gan Ning and Xu Sheng, in order not to be discovered by Zhou Yu's warships, only led six three-masted warships and quietly came behind them.
As for Su Fei, he led all the remaining warships in Xiakou Port, waiting for the signal from Gan Ning and others.
Su Fei walked nervously back and forth on the deck of the flagship. He kept praying to Gan Ning and Xu Sheng in his heart: "Xingba, Wen Xiang, you must succeed!"
Close!
Three hundred steps ahead is Zhou Yu's flagship!
There were five or six large ships guarding the flagship, but under the cover of artillery, these ships could not escape the fate of being sunk!
Although he was still 300 steps away from Zhou Yu and others, Gan Ning lowered his voice and ordered: "Give the order, line up in a row, port artillery, prepare for battle!"
