"The east wind has risen. Give me the order to prepare the whole army for war. Everyone board the ship and launch a general attack based on General Huang's signal~~!"

Zhou Yu first suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and then waved his big hand to make all the soldiers move.

At the same time, in the Wulin Caoying camp, Cheng Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot when he saw the change in the wind direction.

Really, he also understands that things are like riding a tiger, and like an arrow on the string that has to be fired.

Although Cao Cao felt bad at the moment, he could not wait any longer. The longer he delayed the time, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. He must win Soochow as soon as possible.

"Pass my order and everyone board the ship to prepare for battle and prepare for a general attack."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Time passed by, and the two armies waiting anxiously were quiet and depressed. A chilling air rose above the river, making people feel like they couldn't breathe smoothly.

In such a tense pre-war atmosphere, the sky gradually darkened. Huang Gai sailed the ten assault warships arranged out of the camp. He and Zhao Yi each took one and began to sail towards Cao Ying.

At this time, the southeast wind picked up, and the ship followed the wind and approached Cao Ying at an extremely fast speed.

On the ship Zhao Yi was on, four of his ten soldiers were standing on the bow holding explosion-proof shields, and the other six were hiding behind with rifles. He himself also had a pistol and a knife, with a cold murderous look on his face. , where is there even half the elegance that a military advisor should possess?

Sun Shangxiang was left in the camp by him. Although Zhao Yi was full of confidence in this battle, he was not arrogant enough to lead a woman into battle to kill the enemy. If the eldest lady had any good intentions, even if the battle was won, he would probably He will also be chopped into pieces by Sun Quan.

"Brothers, please cheer up for me. After this battle, you and I will both be famous all over the world!"

Zhao Yi finally poured a bowl of poisonous chicken soup into his soldiers, and saw that Huang Gai on the other side had already shot a signal arrow into the air. It was the surrender signal agreed between him and Cao Cao, and it also heralded that Cao Cao's army was about to launch a general attack.

Sure enough, Cao Cao perked up after seeing Huang Gai's signal.

"The whole army attacks and kills the enemy bravely!"

Under Cao Cao's order, all the soldiers started to move, rowing boats, stringing bows, and even generals riding horses back and forth on the deck of the ship to mobilize manpower.

However, the sudden change in direction of the southeast wind caused the sails to roar, which slowed down their progress a lot.

On the other side, after giving the signal, Huang Gai decisively ordered his men to set fire to the nine assault warships and then retreat.

The assault ship, which was filled with hay and doused with gasoline, sulfur and other tinders, immediately burst into flames when it touched a few sparks.

At this moment, there was a strong southeast wind, and the speed of the assault ship was faster than usual. From a distance, it looked like nine fireballs on the river, rushing towards Cao Jun's fleet.

"What!?"

Cao Cao's heart tightened when he saw this. At this moment, he already knew that he had been tricked.

"Fire arrows! Stop those ships and don't let them rush into the military formation!"

Cao Cao said it simply, and how could those nine assault ships that were burning with raging fire be stopped by firing arrows?

Seeing the fire, Huang Gai led his men to jump into the river decisively. However, Zhao Yi's assault ship did not light up the fire at the same time as Huang Gai. He also wanted to sail closer, and it would be best to directly ram Cao Cao's coach. Ship, capture Prime Minister Cao alive, only in this way can you achieve immortality.

"Pull to the side, don't let those sparks splash on our boat."

Zhao Yi directed Ma Liu and others to move the ship farther away. He looked at the gap in the middle of Cao Jun's large ships, and took advantage of the opportunity that the other party's attention was attracted by the fire ship and the sight was not good to sneak in.

At the same time, those large ships were hit by Huang Gai's assault ship, and the hulls shifted and shook significantly. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind assisted the fire. The large ship parked in the front was quickly ignited by the fire.

While most of Cao Jun's attention was focused on the burning warship, Zhou Yu's army also launched a general attack at the same time.

Zhao Yi's boat was swaying, shuttling back and forth among many behemoths, looking for his target.

After a while, shouts of killing came from behind Zhao Yi. It was that Zhou Yu's vanguard troops had already fought against Cao Jun.

He paid no attention to the frontal battlefield, only focusing on finding his prey, Cao A'ao.

Suddenly, Zhao Yi looked startled, and his brows were filled with joy, because he saw a large ship with a handsome flag with the word "Cao" on it. There were chaotic footsteps on the ship, and a group of generals in armor surrounded one person and were retreating.

"Hahaha~~My Prime Minister Cao, my walking military exploits~~I finally found you~! Brothers, board the ship and light the fire~!"

After locking his target, Zhao Yi ordered everyone to stop the ship, and used the ropes and hooks that had been made in advance to tightly connect the ship with Cao Cao's ship.

They maintained their formation and began to climb towards Cao Cao's ship. Halfway through the climb, Ma Liu took out a fire stick, blew some sparks with his mouth and threw them down.

With a "boom", the assault ship immediately ignited, and a hot fireball shot up in Cao Jun's abdomen.

"Why is there a fire here? The enemy also has a assault ship!? Put out the fire, everyone, hurry up and put out the fire!"

Yu Jin held a long sword in his hand and was frantically directing the soldiers to get water to extinguish the fire. However, he did not expect that even if the front was burned by fire, how could Cao Cao's commander's warship be hit by the burning warship? How did this ship get in?

"Prime Minister! Please retreat into the water village first. It is not safe on the boat!"

Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were guarding Cao Cao on the left and right. At this time, Prime Minister Cao failed to show his ability and retreated backwards under the protection of the general. At least he had to leave the ship.

But at this moment, Cao Cao saw several figures quickly climbing onto the deck at the edge of the darkness illuminated by the fire. A few people in the front stood there holding up transparent things that looked like shields, and a few people in the back held weapons like wooden sticks and aimed them at them. to his side.

At this moment, he seemed to remember something. Didn't he just see this kind of strange thing in Changbanpo a while ago? Could it be him?

The scene on Changban Slope appeared in Cao Cao's mind. It was the strange scene of Zhao Yi and Zhao Yun killing seven in and seven out of the chaotic army. It was also the terrifying scene on Dangyang Bridge where one man was in charge and ten thousand people could not get in. .

"Him? That Zhao Yi and Zhao Hongfei who can use magic?"

Cao Cao was greatly surprised, but Zhao Yi didn't give him much time to be surprised.

At this moment, his ten-man team has boarded Cao Cao's commander's warship. Facing his prey, our fake military counselor raised the corners of his mouth and showed an evil smile: "Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang bang~"

Ma Liu and others, who had already undergone preliminary shooting training, pulled the triggers one after another. In a burst of exploding fire, the soldiers surrounding Cao Cao screamed and fell to the ground.

"Protect the Prime Minister! Shield soldiers~~~Protect the Prime Minister!"

Under the command of Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, rows of soldiers holding wooden shields stood in front of Cao Cao and others.

On Zhao Yi's side, the rifles in the hands of the soldiers could be fired ten times in a row. When they pulled the triggers continuously, those slow Cao soldiers had no time to put up a defensive posture before they were shot and fell to the ground.

"Fire the arrows! The archers fire the arrows and kill these people!"

When Zhang Liao saw this, he shouted and snatched the bow and arrow from a crossbowman, then shot the bow.

The whizzing arrows hit the transparent shield and bounced away with a clang. They failed to nail it, let alone penetrate the shield.

Zhang Liao was shocked and blurted out: "What is that shield made of? Is it so hard?"

Facing the sporadic arrows shot by Cao's army, several people were protected by wide explosion-proof shields on all sides. The arrows clanged on them and could not penetrate their defense at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi took advantage of the chaos and took out a round object from the warehouse, opened the ring, smiled and shouted to the front: "Prime Minister Cao~~~ Nagasaka Ichi, farewell and safe~~ remember my My name is Zhao Yi, and I will come to take your life today~!"

As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, the round metal object in his hand was thrown into the air and fell into the crowd in front of Cao Cao.
