Chapter 374

Perhaps Ailang began to have good luck. Not long after night that day, there was a heavy fog in the sky. The fog was so thick that no one could be seen ten steps away. Ailang was overjoyed and immediately led Dian Wei and his personal soldiers to the riverside. Ailang asked Dian Wei to stay on the shore and wait for the arrows to collect the arrows, and he led 400 soldiers to board twenty straw boats. Then the straw boat slowly sailed off the shore and soon disappeared into the thick fog.

Huang Yueying stared at Ai Lang in the tent, but she was not able to see Ai Lang. She was surprised in her heart, so she left the tent and called a personal soldier officer, asking: "Where is the lord now? Why don't you come back so late?" The officer clasped his fists and said, "Report to Madam, the general led General Dian Wei and more than a thousand officers and soldiers to the riverside. The general did not explain what the matter was, and the villain didn't know." Huang Yueying was puzzled and asked: "Do you know where the lord went to the riverside?" "The villain knows." "Lead the way." "Yes."

Not long after, Huang Yueying ran to the riverside under the support of his personal soldiers and maids. Dian Wei was leading many officers and soldiers to stay by the riverside with many big cars. Huang Yueying shouted, "General Dian Wei."

Dian Wei immediately turned around when he heard the shout. Seeing that it was Mrs. Huang Yueying who was coming, he immediately stepped forward to pay homage to him: "Madam."

Huang Yueying came down with Xiaotao's support and looked around. She could not see her husband's figure. So she asked Dian Wei: "General Dian Wei, is the lord here?"

Dian Wei arrived: "My lord is here." "Where is he now?" Dian Wei pointed to the river behind him, which was shrouded in thick fog, and said, "My lord has already taken twenty straw boats to Cao's camp." Huang Yueying was confused and asked, "Why did he take twenty straw boats to Cao's camp? What is this?" "My lord said that he wants to play a good show of borrowing arrows on a straw boat!..." When Huang Yueying heard this, she immediately understood Ailang's intention, and said in surprise; "Borrowing arrows on a straw boat?!" Dian Wei nodded. Huang Yueying showed anger and said angrily: "Is this the idea of ​​the foolish man? How can a straw boat borrow arrows on a straw boat?"

By the way, Ailang brought twenty straw boats slowly approaching the Caojun Water Village with the cover of thick fog. An officer came to report to Ailang: "Report to the General, the Caojun Water Village is fifty steps away." Ailang suppressed his excitement and said to the officer: "Send the order immediately, beat the drums and gongs and shout loudly!" The officer was stunned and hurriedly said: "General, if this happens, the Cao army will know that we are here? If they rushed out, we will have more than twenty small boats, I am afraid,..." Ailang smiled and said: "Don't worry. With such a big fog, he wouldn't dare to come out with Cao Cao's 100 courage." Then he urged: "Snapshot my words!" The officer Yingnuo ran down.

After a while, the rumbling drums rang out loud on the river, mixed with the shouts of officers and soldiers and the loud bang of gongs. Huang Yueying, who was preparing to send a boat to call Ailang back on the shore, suddenly heard the huge movement in the thick fog on the river, and her face changed and she couldn't help but say, "No!"

At this time, Cao Cao, who was resting in the tent, was alarmed by the huge movements coming from the river. He quickly walked out of the tent and looked towards the river in the direction of the sound. However, the fog drooped, and the situation on the river could not be seen at all.

At this time, Mao Jie, the newly appointed naval commander of Cao Cao, rushed over and reported to the report: "Prime Minister, the enemy naval army is coming to attack!" Cao Cao snorted coldly and ordered: "Lead the army to fight immediately!" Mao Jie Yingnuo and was about to run down. However, Cao Cao suddenly felt his heart and shouted: "Slow!" Mao Jie quickly turned around and waited for Cao Cao's orders. Cao Cao muttered: "The enemy army happened to attack in the river? There must be ambush among them. If the order is sent, no one will be allowed to fight without authorization, but only use rockets to retreat to the enemy!" Mao Jie Yingnuo and ran down.

Not long after, under the orders of generals at all levels, the navy troops in the water camp began to set rockets on the river. For a moment, the fires all over the sky fell into the fog like raindrops.

"It's bad, it's bad!" The personal soldier officer rushed into Ailang's cabin anxiously. At this time, Ailang was drinking there as he was learning the plot in the TV series, looking leisurely. Seeing the officer running in like a burning butt, he was very unhappy and said angrily: "What are you doing in a panic?" The officer pointed outside and shouted anxiously: "Cao Army, Cao Army has fired arrows!" Ailang was overjoyed and said to the officer: "We just want to borrow arrows from a straw boat. It's a good thing they fired arrows, what are they calling!" "No! They are fired rockets!"

Ailang was shocked when he heard the word "rocket". At this time, a scream outside the ship sounded, and at the same time, a ball of flames shone in. Ailang quickly threw away the wine bowl and ran out of the cabin. He saw that almost all the ships in front, back, left and right were lit by the scarecrow. At the same time, the fire was everywhere, and Cao's rockets were still flying down. Ailang was shocked and couldn't help but be very annoyed and scolded: "How come Cao Cao, this bastard, why did you set the rockets? You don't follow the script at all!"

"General, what should I do now?" the officer asked anxiously.

Ailang was wise and shouted: "Don't be afraid! Push the scarecrow into the water quickly and row back!" The officer immediately sent an order, and the soldiers hurriedly followed suit and pushed the burning scarecrows into the water. At the same time, the ship started and quickly moved away from the Cao army's water camp.

...

Ailang sat in his tent. Huang Yueying held back her laughter and took a wet towel to wipe the stains on his forehead. Seeing her like this, Ailang laughed and said, "You can laugh if you want to laugh, it's okay!" Huang Yueying couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing, gave Ailang a blank look, and said angrily: "It's a good thing that my husband can think of it. He actually came up with the idea of ​​'borrowing arrows on the straw boat'!..." Ailang was so angry that he scolded: "It's all caused by that bastard Luo Guanzhong! His grandmother's, nonsense.

Eight ways made me make such a big fool!” Huang Yueying had never heard of the name Luo Guanzhong, and asked curiously: “Who is this person? Why have I never heard of me?” Ai Lang said perfunctorily: “It’s not a person. It’s a storyteller in my hometown. When I was a child, I heard him tell a story that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Qin and Chu fought, the Chu State used a straw boat to deceive Qin State 100,000 wolf-toothed arrows. Are we short of arrows now, so I copied it!”

Huang Yueying smiled so hard that she looked up and said to Ailang, "Husband is really true! How can the storyteller take it seriously? This story is probably to exaggerate the wisdom of the Chu army. Generally, ordinary people who do not understand military strategies will have no problem listening to it, but in Fang's ears, this is a joke!"

Ailang nodded in agreement.

A few days passed without realizing it. At dusk, the strong wind suddenly blew, making the flags rush. At this time, Ailang was talking to Guan Yu, and suddenly a strong wind gushed in from the door and raised countless dust. Everyone present was confused, and the mouth and nose were full of dust, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to avoid coughing. Ailang suffocated his nose with his hand. Seeing that the bowl of wine in his hand was polluted by the dust, he had to pour out the wine and said, "What a strong wind!" Xu Shu suddenly said, "This seems to be a strong wind in the southeast!" Ailang was stunned, and quickly put down the wine bowl and stood up and ran out of the tent. Guan Yu and Xu Shu hurriedly followed. When he came outside, he saw a strong wind in the military camp, and waves of dust were raised in the sky. Looking at the direction of the flags wafting, this was indeed a strong wind in the southeast!

Ailang couldn't help but praise: "Zhou Yu's prediction is really accurate! The southeast wind has indeed arisen!" Xu Shu said: "After the strong wind, we must use troops tonight!" At this moment, an officer led an officer from the Jiangdong Army to Ailang, clasped his fists and said: "Report to General, General Sun has sent someone!" The Jiangdong Army officer bowed to Ailang and Guan Yu and said: "General, General Guan, my lord is invited!"

When the sky turned completely dark, the Jiangdong Navy first quietly left the water camp under Zhou Yu's leadership and drove towards the Cao Jun Water Camp. At the same time, the Jiangdong Infantry Army boarded the ship at some upstream locations to prepare for the crossing of the river to fight; while Ailang and Guan Yu gathered on the shore dozens of miles downstream to board the ship and boarded the raft, and waited for the fire in Wulin to launch an attack immediately.

The navy led by Zhou Yu took advantage of the east wind to approach the Cao Jun Water Village. Zhou Yu stood at the high place of the flagship and looked at the Cao Jun Water Village. He could hardly see anything in the dark night, and could only see a few flashing lights. Zhou Yu didn't care, because he knew that the Cao Jun Water Village warships were all in the water village at this moment. At this moment, Huang Gai, who led the vanguard fleet to sail at the front of the fleet, saw that it was less than two hundred steps away from the Cao Jun Water Village, immediately shouted: "Light the fire ship and attack Cao's camp!"

The fifty fire boats in front immediately raised their sails and ignited a raging fire. The officers and soldiers on the boat jumped into the water, while the fifty fire boats rushed towards the Cao army water camp in front of them like sharp arrows, pushing the strong east wind!

Not long after, fire boats rushed into the water camp one after another and lit many places. Flames quickly spread in the water camp. With the help of the east wind, the fire immediately spread the entire water camp. Soon after, the land camp was ignited close to the side. The two land camps were burning wildly, and huge fireworks shone brightly on the night! Zhou Yu stood at the height of the flagship with excitement on his face. Zhou Tai next to him said excitedly: "If there is such a big fire, the Cao army will be wiped out without our attack!" Zhou Yu ordered: "Send the order to all teams to land on the east side of the enemy navy!" Zhou Tai responded and ran down to pass the order immediately.

At this time, the Lu Liu coalition, dozens of miles downstream, had already seen the sky in the west, and it seemed to be burning, red! Guan Yu said, "It's started!" Then he clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "General, I'll set out first!" Ailang clasped his fists and said, "Take care!" Guan Yu immediately turned around and boarded a bamboo platoon. His general Zhou Cang led his horse and followed it onto the bamboo platoon. At the same time, Liu Bei soldiers quickly boarded the bamboo platoon raft and crossed the Yangtze River toward the north bank!
