Chapter 483: The fire that fell from the sky

On the second day, all staff in Jiangdong made intensive arrangements.

The navy began to assemble warships, while the army was ready to cross the river to fight at any time.

Zhou Yu and Gan Ning secretly prepared a hundred fast ships with their respective confidants and loaded something on the ship.

After loading all the ships, they covered them with curtains, which made them very mysterious.

...

At night, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning took the fleet and quietly detoured to a place seven or eight miles upstream of the fleet of the Duke Alliance.

The obstacles set up by the Alliance of Princes were about five miles away from their base camp.

Here, they have patrol soldiers patrolling day and night.

However, during this period, the Jiangdong Navy has not made any noise.

They also believe that the obstacles they set cannot be broken in a short period of time, so patrols have been very lax in recent times.

Zhou Yu and Gan Ning led a hundred clutch ships, and they passed by without knowing it.

When it was dawn, Zhou Yu ordered his personal soldiers to pour all the liquid loaded on the seventy ships onto the river.

Suddenly, a layer of liquid that emitted a scent of smell flowed down the river.

The flow rate of the river is very fast.

Not long after, the liquid flowed into the warship basin where the Alliance of the Princes was located.

At this time, the navy troops of the Alliance of Princes all smelled a fragrance that filled the air.

"Huh? What does this taste like? It smells so good!"

"Yes, why do you think so? Where did the fragrance come from?"

"Ah, look, look at the river, what's the bottom of the river?"

"The whole river is full of these things, and the smell is so fragrant! Does this fragrance float out from here? What is this thing?"

Just as the alliance of princes was talking and pointed at the liquid on the river.

Upstream of the river, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning ordered the remaining personal soldiers to light hundreds of torches and throw them into the river.

Yes, Lu Bu's method was to let them pour the liquid upstream of the river and then ignite the liquid with a torch.

In this way, the flames can go down the water and ignite all the warships of the Alliance of the princes.

However, Zhou Yu felt unreliable no matter how he thought about it.

This is on the water surface, how could it be lit?

If it weren't for Lu Bu's order, the king's order would be difficult to violate, and Zhou Yu wouldn't have done such a stupid thing at all.

Such a stupid method, how many times will I have to hold my head in the door panel before I can think of it?

Some of the torches thrown by personal soldiers on the river were annihilated after being thrown on the river.

But there are still some people who ignite the river surface directly.

Then, clusters of flames spread rapidly and meandered downstream at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, the river surface was covered with red flames and flowed farther and farther away.

From a distance, it looks like a fire dragon raging on the river.

Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, and the personal soldiers they brought were all shocked by this scene.

I made a big trough!

Can you really lit it?

This is incredible!

Could it be that Lord Wen Hou is really a god who came to earth?

Otherwise, who could have lit such a big fire on the river?

Only Zhou Yu vaguely remembered the natural science knowledge he had learned.

I remember that the specific gravity of liquids was mentioned above, with heavy weights floating on it, and light weights floating on it.

Is this the reason for the Lord’s public use?

Zhou Yu always thought that natural science was useful, but it could only be applied in people's livelihood.

It was not until this moment that Zhou Yu clearly realized that natural science can not only be applied to people's livelihood, but also to military aspects!

...

In the alliance of princes, soldiers began to see the upper stream flowing down the flames, and they were all stunned?

"What the hell is there! Why is the fire on the river surface? How come the water catches fire?"

"Damn it, your seventh uncle! Can the river water still catch fire? This is really a strange thing in the world!"

"This is so spectacular! This is the first time I have seen such a scene in my life!"

"You are paralyzed, run away quickly! The fire is almost burning to the butt!"

Indeed, the flames were falling down the river, and the speed was so fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had spread to the fleet of the Alliance of Princes.

This time the fire burned directly on the river surface, and all the ships of the Alliance of Princes were linked together, and they couldn't hide even if they wanted to.

Under the burning of the river fire, the wooden boat quickly burst into flames, and the flames quickly turned into raging fires.

Gradually, the fire became bigger and bigger, the flames jumped several feet high, and the rolling smoke rose.

Going far away, I saw the entire river surface burning and the upper river water was boiling.

The small fish floating on the upper layer were instantly cooked and the fish smell was overflowing.

The navy on the warships of the Alliance of Princes took only a few moments from reacting to turning around and running.

But the fire broke out too quickly, and there were too many ships in the Alliance of Princes, so they were not allowed to run out at all.

Soon, the princes alliance acquired the navy and were engulfed by the blazing flames.

The fire rang out from the fire from the soldiers of the alliance of princes, and the air was filled with a rotten smell of corpses burned.

The wooden boats were engulfed by the fire and collapsed in a burst.

The wreckage of the ship and the burned corpses fell into the river and went downstream.

In the end, the entire river surface was even blocked by wreckage of ships. The river surface was filled with flames, and it could be seen clearly dozens of miles away.

This miserable scene made everyone in Jiangbei stunned.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and Liu Biao were intertwined with many expressions such as shock, pain, grief and anger, and unwillingness.

It's over!

It's all over!

This is a total of 200,000 navy troops!

Unexpectedly, all the fires from Lu Bu were burned away!

Well, in fact, some people escaped from the fire.

Those who escaped were all on the edge of the fleet and the closest part of the navy to the shore.

But there were too few people who escaped, no more than a thousand people.

Moreover, although these hundreds of people escaped, they were like crazy about gaining and losing. It is still unknown whether they can go to the battlefield again in the future.

These 200,000 troops are basically the same as the entire army is wiped out!

The alliance of princes has a total of 400,000 troops, and in the previous battles, 70,000 to 80,000 people were lost!

Now a fire burned down another 200,000 troops.

So far, there are only 120,000 to 30,000 people left!

In terms of military strength, it is already smaller than that of the Jiangdong army.

Now let alone attacking Lu Bu, it would be nice if Lu Bu didn't attack them in turn!

Of course, their current strength is not their full strength.

If they gathered their troops desperately, their strength would still be higher than Lu Bu.

But now their soldiers have completely lost their morale and have no power to fight.

This time, the princes alliance to fight against Lu, ended with a complete defeat!
Chapter completed!
