In the Chibi military camp, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who did not go out with the army, stood on the river, looking at the fire on the other side that reflected the sky red.
Pang Tong clicked his tongue and said: "Brother Kong Ming, this Zhao Hongfei is really a god. I can't believe that he is only seventeen years old. He is much better than you and me at this age."
Zhuge Liang also nodded and said: "Yes, Hongfei is indeed surprising. He is a piece of rough jade. The most rare thing is that he is mature and flexible. We are indeed not as good as him. As long as he is refined and guided in the future, he will definitely become a famous general. , but it’s a pity..."
Pang Tong turned around in confusion and said, "What's the pity?"
Zhuge Liang took out the letter from his mentor Pang Degong from his sleeve and whispered: "It's a pity that he was targeted by the people of Tianxiahui just after he emerged. Those people are all madmen. I believe I don't need to say more about what they did." You also know that I will find a way to hide Hongfei as much as possible when I go back this time."
Pang Tong took a breath and said: "The world will meet? I didn't expect it to be them, the madman who uses the stars in the sky as his name. They think they can control the overall history of the world. I heard that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, provoked them." He was brutally assassinated to death.”
Zhuge Liang nodded slowly and sighed: "It's not just Sun Ce. When our lords Liu Bei and Cao Cao captured Lu Bu alive, we could also see them. The power of those madmen was pervasive, and they entangled many capable people and strangers, making it difficult for people to guard against them. ."
"It's a pity that no one knows where their stronghold is. Otherwise, if they use a large army to encircle and suppress them, no matter how strong their personal abilities are, they will be wiped out."
Zhuge Liang did not answer this time, but stared thoughtfully at the sea of fire on the river, as if he was thinking about the next step for Zhao Yi in his heart.
"Bang bang bang bang~!"
After firing the second magazine, Zhao Yi glanced at the friendly troops behind him, wiped his sweat and said: "Everyone rest on the spot and change defensive formations!"
He knew in his heart that even if they had sharp weapons, there were only eleven of them. As the saying goes, don't chase the enemy. If you rush too fast and fall into the enemy's siege, it will be tragic.
Once he falls into a tight siege, it shouldn't be a big problem for Zhao Yi to escape alone, but the ten top soldiers under his command must be found there. He has promised them that he will lead them to promotion and wealth, and he will not use their lives to do so. As a stepping stone to climb up, Zhao Yi is not that kind of person.
"My ears are almost deafening. This is the first time I shoot so many shots in one breath. Boss, this thing is so exciting. It is indeed a magical weapon that only the gods in the sky can create!"
Ma Liu flicked his wrist and moved his shoulders. Even though the recoil of this rifle was not strong, shooting so many bullets at once made their shoulders sore and their ears buzzing.
"Okay, now is not the time to relax our guard. Everyone is in defensive formation. Let's go pick up the drowned dog and beat him. The task of chasing Cao Cao will be left to other friendly forces. We don't know that the old boy fell into the river and drowned."
He saw Xu Chu carrying Cao Cao and jumping off the deck, but Zhao Yi actually didn't have many doubts about Prime Minister Cao Cao's life or death. He believed that a person like Cao Cao would not die easily, not to mention that there were a lot of people around him who were willing to do so. Protecting his men.
After deciding not to pursue, Zhao Yi put away the rifles of several people, then entered the warehouse and replaced more explosion-proof shields, forming a circle. Within the shield, only a few people were left on guard with pistols, moving slowly, harvesting. The enemy's rout.
After a while, Jiangdong's men and horses gave chase. Gan Ning, who was holding a pair of halberds and killing everyone, jumped onto the deck of the ship. He just ran two steps but stopped because he saw a circular formation with strange transparent wooden signs in front of him. It was Zhao Yi who kept making noises and harvesting human lives.
He is very familiar with this small formation of ten people. Isn't this the same formation that defeated him a few days ago? I didn't expect it to be so powerful in actual combat. It integrates offense and defense, making it difficult to escape and approach. It seems like there is no solution.
Gan Ning's heart trembled twice, and he regained his energy to pursue Cao Jun.
After killing all the defeated troops around him, Zhao Yi saw that Cao's army was gone and stopped pursuing. He put away all the explosion-proof shields and asked everyone to be on guard with daggers, spears and bows. He began to clean the battlefield, cutting off the heads of some generals and taking them back in exchange. Military merit.
But it was said that the fire burned more and more fiercely with the help of the southeast wind. The fierce southeast wind blew the fire towards Cao Ying, and after devouring all the warships, it also set fire to the military tents on the shore.
The soldiers of Cao's army were confused by the fire and scrambled for their lives. The navy warships were pushing and shoving. The interconnected iron chains and wooden boards made it impossible for them to escape separately. They could only watch as the warships they were on were set on fire.
Although Cao Cao ordered the entire army to retreat, even if they retreated, Cao Cao's army was not as fast as the Soochow warships on the water. They were tightly bitten and frantically harvested human lives.
Le Jin and Li Dian finally organized a group of people to stand on the shore and shoot arrows, trying to prevent the Soochow people from landing.
But at this time, the southeast wind was strong, which not only blew the fire to their camp on the shore, but also blew the arrows that were shot to and fro. Even if they could fall into the enemy's formation, their power would be greatly reduced.
"No, we can't fight like this. Let's retreat quickly!"
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, and that Cao Cao had already withdrawn some distance, Le Jin dragged Li Dian and organized the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner.
The people of Soochow took advantage of the fire to fight all the way to Cao Jun's water stronghold. Facing Cao Jun's retreat, Zhou Yu did not choose to continue the pursuit, but let the army stay in place to expand the victory.
At this moment, he stood alone on the bow of the ship reflected in the firelight and said softly: "Find Zhuge Kongming and find an opportunity to kill him."
As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, a person appeared from the shadow beside him.
"Yes, Governor."
The shadow guards are dispatched. Zhou Yu wants to take advantage of tonight's chaos to let Zhao Yi die in the sea of fire. Then he will not only eliminate this hidden danger, but also be able to blame Cao Cao. Such a good opportunity will be rare once lost.
"Commander, don't we continue to pursue? Cao's army is about to go far."
Gan Ning, who was covered in blood after fighting, came to Zhou Yu's side and asked with some uncertainty.
Zhou Yu had just commanded the shadow guards to assassinate Zhao Yi. He was in a good mood and explained to Gan Ning: "Although Cao's army was defeated, its strength is still there. Our army is better at water warfare. Try not to use one's shortcomings against the enemy's strong points. Besides, Liu Bei's army is still blocking their retreat, but our army has more important things to do."
"Something more important?"
Gan Ning asked back with a stupid look on his face.
"That's right, Xingba, I will order you to be the vanguard now, and lead the troops to take advantage of the southerly wind to go down the river and take Jiangling directly."
"Go straight to Jiangling? What a clever plan by the Governor!"
Gan Ning's face was filled with joy and he said in his heart, "Why didn't I think of it?"
