"This morning, Zhuge Liang asked me for twenty ships, each with thirty soldiers.”
"The ship is covered with green cloth, and each of them has a large number of straw puppets on both sides.”
Lu Su explained.
Zhou Yu was confused.
After a while.
"He asked for death. I didn't force him."
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth.
Zhuge Liang had already signed a military pledge. If he couldn't make 100,000 arrows, he would be punished!
Look at what he's up to!
It was four o'clock that night.
Lu Su was invited by Zhuge Liang to board the same ship.
The twenty boats were all connected by long ropes.
The fleet headed north.
Along the way, the fog covered the sky. Above the river, the fog was even thicker.
It was hard to see each other on the north and south banks.
Lu Su noticed that the ship seemed to be approaching the Jing State army's water stronghold.
He was shocked.
"Kong Ming…"
Before he could finish, Zhuge Liang interrupted him.
"Don't worry, Zijing. The 100,000 arrows will be released tonight.”
Zhuge Liang waved his hand.
At the fifth watch.
The fleet had already arrived near the Jing Zhou navy camp.
Zhuge Liang ordered the ships to line up in a straight line.
Then, Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers on the ship to beat the drums.
Dong dong dong!
On the originally calm river surface, the drum beat shook loudly.
"What will happen if the entire northern army goes out?" Lu Su asked in surprise.”
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and smiled,""I reckon that the northern army will not dare to leave the river to fight in the fog.”
"We just need to drink and have fun.”
Zhuge Liang made a solemn vow and Lu Su was relieved.
In the water stockade of the Jingzhou army.
Gan Ning suddenly heard the sound of drums beating and shouting outside.
He immediately made arrangements.
"The river is shrouded in fog, and the enemy suddenly arrived.”
"Order the navy crossbowmen to go forward and shoot arrows in the direction of the fog.”
"In addition, inform the generals of Han Village to bring archers to the riverside to assist in shooting!”
After the arrangements were made.
Gan Ning headed straight for one of the villages.
The Jinfan brothers, who had been with Gan Ning for many years, were stationed there.
"Brothers, the Prime Minister has given us a helping hand.”
"The Qingxu Army has yet to finish training, and the Jing State Navy has to defend the stronghold.”
"Only we can go out and fight!”
Gan Ning took away six hundred of his brothers.
Six hundred people were ready to go.
After the crossbowmen from the water bandits fired a few rounds, they would ride the small boat and charge out.
In the water stockade, the crossbowmen on the front line were worried that the Jiangdong Army would take advantage of the fog to break into the camp.
So they all shot arrows into the river, and in an instant the arrows rained down.
After a while.
Xiahou Dun arrived at the scene with Cao Yu.
"You really guessed it."
The Jiangdong Army actually took advantage of the foggy weather to attack the Jing State Army's water stronghold.
"Immediately ignite the rocket and throw it out!”
Cao Yu instructed.
The soldiers obeyed and lit their arrowheads.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrow brought with it a fiery glow as it instantly pierced through the foggy night sky.
It almost lit up the entire Misty River.
Knock, knock, knock!
The flaming arrows shot indiscriminately into the ships of the Jiangdong Army under the fog.
A large number of straw puppets were quickly ignited.
It was windy.
The fire borrowed the wind, and the wind assisted the fire.
The twenty boats were connected by long ropes and instantly turned into a sea of fire.
On the fire boat, the soldiers were running around, crying for their parents.
Zhuge Liang's face was flushed red under the light.
"Impossible!"
How could there be a rocket!
Zhuge Liang couldn't believe it.
The rocket manufacturing process was complicated and difficult to store.
After too long, the kerosene on the arrow would lose its effectiveness and it would be difficult to ignite.
"Did Cao Cao predict that I would attack tonight?”
It shouldn't be!
Zhuge Liang kept shaking his head.
There were experts in the Cao army? Do you know the weather changes?
One guess after another flashed through Zhuge Liang's mind.
The fire around them grew fiercer.
"Kong Ming, quickly abandon the ship and leave with me!”
Lu Su called Zhuge Liang and quickly boarded the boat.
It would be too late if he didn't leave now.
"How hateful, how hateful!"
Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth.
"The heavens are helping me, but not me!”
He suppressed his anger and boarded the boat with Lu Su, ordering the soldiers to retreat.
Not long after.
The rain of arrows had stopped.
Gan Ning led six hundred men to the battlefield.
With the help of the blazing light, Gan Ning jumped onto the ships and slashed the struggling Jiangdong soldiers to death.
On the surface of the river, wails could be heard.
Gan Ning and his six hundred brothers, Jin Fan, were extremely angry.
They slaughtered and hacked, not even considering capturing the Jiangdong soldiers.
On the half-burnt deck of the ship, Gan Ning and his brothers threw the bodies of the enemy soldiers into the fire.
After daybreak, the thick fog dispersed.
A large number of Jing State soldiers rushed out of the water stronghold and cleaned up the battlefield.
By the riverside.
Xiahou Dun was overjoyed.
"Zixiu, this credit is yours. Today, I will report your battle achievements to the Prime Minister!”
Previously, when Cai Mao was supervising the navy, the Jing State navy had once lost to the Jiang Dong navy.
It seriously affected morale!
Now that there was a big fire, they had regained their dignity.
Xiahou Dun felt refreshed.
"Thank you, General."
Cao Yu cupped his hands and said.
He indeed needed credit to climb up, but he did not expect Xiahou Dun to be so concerned.
After a while.
Gan Ning was able to see Cao Yu.
The two of them chatted for a while. Because they still had missions on their hands, they left after a few words.
……
In the water stockade of the Jiangdong army.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su only had a small boat and six soldiers. They returned in a sorry state.
"Kong Ming, the three days are up and you haven't completed the task.”
