Chapter 408

After hearing Sun Jian's words, Zhou Yu looked hesitant and said, "My lord, this unstable wind direction is a taboo for fire attack! Now that the wind direction is not yet stable, the fire attack rashly will be unimaginable if there is a consequence! My subordinates think that they should wait anyway. After five days, there will be a stable northwest wind for several days, and that is when the fire breaks the enemy!"

Sun Ce frowned and did not say anything. Sun Jian shook his head and said, "No, no, no. Five days?! I'm afraid we can't hold on for even three days!" Zhou Yu was shocked and couldn't help asking, "Is the enemy's offensive so fierce?" The two nodded with a serious expression. Sun Jian couldn't help but say, "Gongjin, you are not on the city wall, you can't feel it personally! The offensives of the Lu Bu army are much more fierce than those in the battle in Huainan before! Although I don't want to admit it, the brave elite of the Lu Bu army is indeed far above our army! Our army is difficult to compete with them! In addition, they have added many new weapons that we have never seen before, and it is almost a lucky chance to be able to defend today!" Zhou Yujing frowned, shocked and puzzled.

Sun Jian said: "Gongjin, I think the wind direction is very stable today, so let's attack tonight! We don't have time to delay!"

Zhou Yu frowned and was silent for a moment, nodding, "Since the lord has made a decision, what else can I say?"

Seeing that Zhou Yu had no objection, Sun Jian immediately said to Sun Ce: "Ce'er, immediately order General Huang to attack the enemy camp at midnight tonight! I want to let the fire of the Battle of Red Cliffs reappear here!" Sun Ce agreed with his fists and ran down.

An officer riding a fast horse and secretly ran out of the west city gate under the cover of night, and then disappeared into the heavy night. Soon after, the officer rode his horse into a hidden port yard more than ten miles away from the west of the city, until the horse stopped outside the big tent under the tree by the water. The officer quickly turned over and got off the horse and ran into the big tent. Seeing the veteran Huang Gai who was waiting here, he immediately presented Sun Jian's order and said, "The old general, the lord and the major general sent an order to make the old general ready to attack immediately. At midnight tonight, the navy attacked the enemy's camp and broke through the enemy's fire!"

Huang Gai quickly got up and walked to the officer, took the arrow from him, and found it right, with excitement on his face, murmured, "Great! Just wait for this moment!" Then he shouted to the generals around him, "Send the order immediately, and all the officers and soldiers boarded the ship to prepare for attack!" Several officers clasped their fists and rushed out quickly. Huang Gai called another general and ordered, "Please bring all the sulfur, tinder oil and firewood onto the fireboat, the vanguard of your soldiers' attack!" The general held his fists and went hurriedly. Huang Gai said to the officer who came to pass the order: "Go back and tell the lord and the major general, I, Huang Gai, will fulfill my mission!" The officer Ying Nuo said and ran out of the tent.

Huang Gai walked out of the tent and saw a busy scene of the woods beside the originally quiet water. Teams of naval officers and soldiers were quickly boarding the ship, while in the distance, batches of fire-driven objects were being transported to the fire ships. In fact, the situation of the Jiangdong naval army is simply not comparable to the previous situation. Not only is the strength and quality of the officers and soldiers not the same as before, but the warships were also transformed with civilian ships. However, Huang Gai was confident that he would win this battle because the enemy was unprepared, and he would definitely destroy the enemy with fire attack and assault! Just like when they Lu Bu's arms attacked Cao's army! The great victory of the Battle of Red Cliffs must be reproduced here! But this time, it was him, Jiangdong army defeating Lu Bu's army!

At this time, the strong wind seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, making the flags rush. Huang Gai looked up at the flags on his head, and saw the northwest wind blew the flags waving vigorously to the southeast. Huang Gai was overjoyed and murmured: "Today, God is really helping me!"

Not long after, a general rushed to Huang Gai to report: "General, all the officers and soldiers have finished boarding the ship, and the fire ship is ready." Huang Gai nodded and shouted, "Go away!"

Under the night, the Jiangdong Navy fleet slowly sailed out of the hidden port and came to the river. Then the fleet arranged its formation and raised its sails and rushed towards the Lu Bu Jun Water Village on the south bank of the downstream.

Just when Huang Gai launched the navy, Sun Jian and Sun Ce had already gathered almost all the troops near the city gate. Just when Lu Bu's army started to set off, they left the city to counterattack Lu Bu, and there was no need to wipe out Lu Bu's entire army in one fell swoop!

Sun Jian and Sun Ce stood on the city wall and looked at the direction of the river, all of whom seemed a little anxious. Suddenly, Sun Ce's expression moved and he pointed to the river in the distance and shouted: "Father, look!" Sun Jian looked in the direction of his finger. With the hazy moonlight, he saw that the river was full of shadows, and a fleet was coming from the upstream by sailing the wind and waves! Sun Jian couldn't help but say happily: "Come! Success and failure are here!" At this moment, fires lit up one after another on the dim river surface, and then dozens of flames rushed towards the Lu Bu Jun Water Village five or six miles away in the northwest wind!

"General! General!..." Ailang was awakened by the rapid shouts. Gulu sat up and saw Xu Shu, Dian Wei and other generals standing in front of him, and asked in confusion: "What's going on?" Yan Liang said anxiously: "Oh, General, a fleet of upstream is rushing towards the wind, and dozens of fast ships are igniting flames!..." Ailang was startled and did not bother to put on his armor and rushed out of the tent! Looking upward, he suddenly saw dozens of fire lights on his face rushing towards the northwest wind, like beasts running wildly, unstoppable! Ailang was shocked and shouted hurriedly; "Call the navy to attack and block them!" Xu Shu said anxiously: "It's too late! General, please send an order quickly and ask the water and land troops to abandon their camps and flee immediately! Otherwise, the fire will be burned together!"

When Ailang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the dense warships in the water village. Then his eyes narrowed and he said decisively: "Send an order immediately, and the water and land armies will retreat immediately! Hurry!" The personal soldiers immediately ran down to send an order.

Ailang turned around and ran into the tent, hurriedly put on his armor, picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd and ran out. A personal soldier was already waiting outside the tent with the Red Rabbit Horse. Ailang turned over and stepped on the Red Rabbit Horse. Xu Shu and a group of generals also got on the horse. Ailang glanced at the big village in front of him, and saw that the officers and soldiers were retreating in a hurry. The whole village was in chaos. Looking at the water surface, the dozens of fire boats had rushed to a place not far from the water village, and the rolling flames seemed like monsters were dancing!

Ailang knew that he could not delay any more, so he immediately rushed out of the camp. Everyone hurriedly followed.

Everyone rode their horses out of the village. At this moment, the sound of war drums roared in Chaisang City, and Sun Jian and Sun Ce led the army out of the city.

Seeing this, Ailang couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!" Then he shouted at his soldiers, "Let's array immediately! Arrange the array!" The generals yelled. Lu Bu's officers and soldiers were elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Although they seemed a little panicked when they suddenly encountered a sudden change, they were still arranging the array as quickly as possible and preparing to fight!

"Look, lord!" Xu Shu's voice suddenly rang.

Ailang couldn't help looking at Xu Shu, and saw Xu Shu pointing at a flag not far away, and his face showed a very surprised expression. Ailang felt very strange and looked at the flag. He saw that the flag was flying in the wind, and there was nothing strange about it. He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with that flag?" Xu Shu shouted excitedly: "It's the wind to the lord! It's the wind to the direction!" Ailang was stunned and quickly looked at the flag again, and found that the flag that should have been flying in the southeast was actually there.

Floating towards the northwest! Ai Lang immediately understood, and an ecstatic expression emerged on his face, shouting: "The wind direction has changed!..." Then he couldn't wait to look at the river. He saw that the dozens of fire boats that were rushing from the upstream were actually rushing back, and some were even pushed back by the southeast wind. The flames that were originally flapping towards this side were rolling to the northwest. There were figures on the fire boats, and many burning figures jumped into the water in a hurry!

Ailang laughed and shouted, "Fuck this is called "it's all your fault!"

Xu Shu hurriedly said, "Lord, the crisis has been lifted, so there is no need to rush to fight Sun Jian's army! The army immediately retreated back to the camp and ordered General Gan Ning to lead the navy to attack and annihilate the enemy's navy first!" Ailang nodded, raised the Fang Tian Huaji and shouted loudly, "Brothers, go back to the camp!" Then he turned the Red Rabbit Horse and ran back to the camp, and the soldiers followed closely. Seeing that the general led his army to turn around, the officers and soldiers turned around and ran back to the camp!

Seeing that all his troops had left the city, Sun Jian was about to launch an attack. However, at this moment, Sun Ce suddenly said, "Father, the situation is not right! Why did the Lu Bu soldiers run back to the camp again?" Sun Jian couldn't help looking into the distance, and indeed saw that the Lu Bu soldiers who escaped from a hurry not long ago ran back again! Sun Jian was puzzled and couldn't help but say, "What's going on? Do they want to be burned to death by the fire?"

Sun Ce suddenly pointed to the river and shouted, "Father, look at our navy!!" Sun Jian immediately looked at the river and saw that the fire ships that had originally rushed towards the Lu Bu army's water camp rushed backwards into the middle of Huang Gai's navy. Balls of flames rushed from the river, and the fire demons were raging, and they opened their teeth and claws. Not long after, most of Huang Gai's fleet was burned! Sun Jian widened his eyes and was completely shocked! Not only Sun Jian, but all the officers and soldiers of Jiangdong were shocked!

At this time, the navy led by Gan Ning came out in full swing and attacked Huang Gai's army with the help of the southeast wind. In fact, it was just to maintain a long distance to set rockets to help the fire! The flames ran around the river. Even if there was a distance between the two ships, it could not stop the spread of the fire. The burning wood chips canvas were flying all over the sky under the strong wind in the southeast. When they were touched by the sails, they immediately burned. In a blink of an eye, it spread to the entire ship uncontrollable! The soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy exclaimed repeatedly. At the beginning, many people tried to put out the fire, but later everyone gave up this plan and dived to escape. The river water splashed everywhere, as if a big pot of dumplings were planted!
