Chapter 168: The Burning Yangtze River

Zhang Tu saw that Deng's army had detoured to both sides of his side, but its main ship was still in front of another world. This was exposing the main ship and letting his side attack? He was puzzled. What tactics is this? Zhang Tu's more and more confused, but the enemy's main general was in front of him, but he could not miss it. No matter what tricks Zhou Yu had, as long as he took Zhou Yu, Deng's army would collapse without fighting, so he ordered the entire army to accelerate its advance.

Zhou Yu, who was opposite, smiled after seeing Wu Jun's speed slowing down. This was also what Zhou Yu expected. He deliberately exposed himself and lured Wu Jun to come. You must know that there were five hundred small boats full of hay and tincture oil behind him. As soon as Wu Jun approached, he would ignite the fire and surge out.

However, the Wu army's charge must be paid attention to, so Zhou Yu said to Gan Ning beside him: "Tell the troops to entangle the Wu army tightly, don't worry about casualties, and be sure to hold back the speed of the Wu army's warship."

"Here!" Gan Ning replied.

With the order of Zhou Yu, the Deng army warships on both sides of the Wu army turned around and rushed towards the Wu army located in the river. The warships of the two armies were entangled together. For a moment, bows and arrows flew all over the sky on the river, and from time to time, soldiers of the Wu army and Deng army were even caught in arrows and fell from the Yangtze River.

When Zhang Tu and others saw Deng Jun coming to him, they didn't care about rushing to the main ship where Zhou Yu was, but stopped and entangled with Deng Jun.

Zhou Yu on the deck saw that the time had come, so he ordered: "Send the central army to disperse and attack the small boat. When it approaches the Wu army's warship, ignite the fire immediately."

"Here!"

In the formation, Zhang Tu and others were slowly suppressing Deng’s army. Suddenly, the main ship of Deng’s army in front suddenly dispersed.

At this time, five hundred small boats rushed towards the Wu army at a very fast speed under the wind direction. Zhang Tu and others were puzzled when they saw this. When the Deng army's boat approached half a mile of the Wu army, the five hundred small boats suddenly ignited a fire and rushed towards the Wu army. When the boat started to burn, the Deng army soldiers on the boat jumped into the water and fled.

"Hurry, please order the ships to disperse!" Zhang Tu looked at the fireboat rushing towards him, his eyes widened and he said in horror.

However, both sides were occupied by Deng's army, and the Wu army could not disperse at all, so they could only watch the fireboat collided.

When the fire ship hit the Wu army warship, it quickly ignited the Wu army warship. Zhang Tu and others on the ship panicked and quickly ordered: "Hurry, send someone to put out the fire quickly, hurry!"

"Here!" Wu soldiers hurriedly put out the fire, but the tincture oil could not be extinguished so easily. Soon, most of the Wu soldiers were lit. Coupled with the entanglement of Deng soldiers on both sides, the Wu soldiers on the ship suffered heavy casualties. Many Wu soldiers jumped off the Yangtze River to escape.

"General, jump the ship quickly. It's too late." Zhang Tu's deputy general quickly persuaded Zhang Tu to jump the ship. Each warship was originally equipped with small boats for escape, but now there are Deng's warships all around. Even Zhang Tu and others got off the warship and boarded the boat, and they could not escape the Deng's encirclement. If they wanted to escape, they had to jump off the ship.

Zhou Yu in the distance looked at the burning Yangtze River and laughed: "Haha, the overall situation has been decided. He ordered all troops to block the direction of the Wu army's retreat. At the same time, the warships entangled with the Wu army immediately retreated. In addition, he ordered all troops to prepare all the small boats and salvage the prisoners when the Wu army fled!"

"Here!" Zhou Yu did not postpone it, and directly took the order.

Two flowers bloom, each with one branch. Compared with the joyful atmosphere of lower life, Chaisang became a little sad.

After Han Cong fled back to Chaisang, he reported Zhou Kai all the way to the defeat. After hearing this, Zhou Kai vomited blood and fainted. After several efforts of the military doctor, he woke up Zhou Kai.

After waking up, Zhou Kai quickly summoned all the generals under his command and said, "Now the navy has been defeated, the Deng army will soon advance eastward. Mali, Zhu Jun, Huan Heng, Ling Rong, Han Cong, you and the five of you will lead 10,000 troops to quickly go to the riverside to set up defenses. You must block Deng's army, and stay in Chaisang and dispatch it in the middle."
