The place where Cao Wu stayed was on a higher hillside, overlooking the Jiangdong Army's encampment.
He roughly calculated the opponent's warships, but could not see any obvious decrease. The flags of Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Ling Tong and other generals were also flying in the camp. On the surface, it was difficult to tell whether they had met the main force of Cao's army. .
However, at least the decisive battle has not yet begun, and Cao Wu is not too late for the most important occasion.
The only thing that surprised him was seeing Sun Ce's handsome flag this time.
He clearly remembered that the last time he saw Zhou Yu and Xia Houyuan fighting, there was no Sun Zishuai flag at that time, and neither Sun Ce nor Sun Quan could see it.
Sun Ce has been dead for almost ten years, and the only one who can carry his banner is Da Qiao, who goes on the expedition on his behalf.
Thinking of the woman who looked graceful and elegant one moment and was covered in silk and silk, but who appeared in armor that was larger than her body the next moment, Cao Wu bit a grass root and shook his head.
He rolled down the hillside and mounted his horse.
Having been in this era for so long, he is not completely ignorant of things like marching and fighting. Now the enemy is setting up camp, and his attention is relatively distracted. After a while, the camp is set up, and he will definitely be able to overlook the camp from the hilltop. There will be people stationed there, so you have to leave early.
Sure enough, not long after going downhill, footsteps could be heard on the other side of the slope.
"It's pretty quick."
Cao Wu rode away. On land, as long as he was not entangled, he was not afraid of any pursuers on his little red horse.
However, the area near the south bank is very mountainous, which is why Cao Cao did not take the overland route.
The only clear road was occupied by the Jiangdong Army's camp. It was not that easy to find a good position.
He was about to run to the mountains to spend the night when he suddenly heard the sound of a horn coming from the Jiangdong military camp.
"Buzz——"
The horn was powerful and the sound shook the surrounding areas, and the footsteps on the other side of the hillside quickly faded away.
Cao Wu was brave enough to unsheath his sword and quietly climbed back to the hillside. Looking down, he saw that the group of soldiers had indeed gone away, but the situation on the river in the distance made him look strange.
Three giant ships sailed on the river, which were none other than the five-toothed ships. They parked far away from the Jiangdong military camp and fired a burst of shots.
Some ships of the Jiangdong Army quickly left the port, but there were many large ships behind the Wuya ship, which fought with the Jiangdong Army for a while. Both sides suffered casualties and retreated.
When Jiangdong's army came back and continued to set up camp, the Wuya big ship came again, Jiangdong's horn sounded again, and there was another burst of fighting.
Although the drawings of the Five-Toothed Ship came from Cao Wu, Cao Wu had never seen the Five-Toothed Ship in action.
He only heard later that for these three five-toothed ships, Ah Si inspected countless materials, and finally spent almost all the efforts of Cao's army to build three huge keels, and finally completed the large ships.
In other words, these three ships are the essence of the entire shipbuilding industry in the world, and there will not be a fourth ship in the short term.
This was the first time he felt the power of the five-toothed ship. The stone was thrown too far away, and Jiangdong's army could not fight back. It had to resist the stone throw to get close. If he got too close, he would have to worry about being hit by the corner. , was damaged by the racket stick.
These three five-toothed ships really play the role of cruisers, and stand out among the rest in this era.
However, Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu after all. He is good at water warfare and he also sees the shortcomings of the five-tooth ship, that is, it is fast but slow to turn.
It is easy for small ships to turn around, but it is difficult for big ships. For these three big ships, it is easy to advance and retreat straight away, but it is not easy to turn. In this wave of counterattack, Zhou Yu took advantage of this weakness of the five-toothed ship and barely managed to drive away Cao Jun.
But the Five-Toothed Ship came again for the third time.
After the third fight, Cao Wu saw that Zhou Yu's banner was moved back to the building ship from the shore, and the flags of Sun Ce, Huang Gai and others also returned to the building ship.
"Are you leaving?"
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. For unknown reasons, Cao Jun forced Zhou Yu to set up camp closer to Jiangxia.
Cao Cao's soldiers were numerous and easy to rotate, so it was easy to achieve the tactical effect of taking turns to attack.
As a result, the tired Zhou Yu could only choose the next suitable place to set up camp...
wrong!
Cao Wu thought of something and felt a hundred thousand blood vessels beating in his head.
The south coast is mountainous. How many places can we camp?
The next suitable place is - Chibi!
The wheels of history are rolling, so many coincidences have happened, and finally the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Sun and Liu families came together here!
Cao Wu was very confused in his head. He actually told Cao Cao in Bei Mansion about the things that were difficult to win in Chibi. But who was Cao Cao? As a hero of the generation, he was confident and arrogant. He did not believe that 800,000 people would be defeated. Just like last time, when hundreds of officials besieged Beifu, Cao Cao had already told Cao Wu that he did not think he would be defeated.
Cao Cao couldn't persuade him, so Cao Wu could only make plans on his own.
Since time traveling, his enemies have never been Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, nor Chen Deng, Ju Shou, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, but the illusory will of God.
What he wants to fight against is also the inertia of history.
Since the victory in the Battle of Guandu, he has lived in seclusion in Beifu for four years, and has been planning how to change the direction of history.
It's not a change of one or two small things, but a big thing like reversing Red Cliff.
It can even be said that he has been planning this since various designs failed to save Dian Wei.
Although many of the maids and slaves in Beifu participated in this plan, they could not get a glimpse of the whole picture. They only know that there is no need to ask for a reason for what the general wants to do, they just need to do it.
There was only one person in the world who knew about his plan and even participated in it.
That person, he has the out-of-the-box thinking of a fairy, and he pursues pleasure in the world all day long.
He is the most intelligent person in the world, a lunatic with thinking beyond the times, and the only person who can make Cao Wu reveal his plan.
But he is already dead.
In order to save him, Cao Wu made countless designs, but none of them succeeded. At least, he still took too much of Five Stone Powder.
That madman, who proved the words "Heaven is jealous of talents" with his life, died during an expedition and died on the way to Liaodong.
Before he died, he left the world with two great tips.
One, the last plan is to decide Liaodong.
The other one, which only Cao Wu himself knew, was to start from small things and try to find ways to change the direction of history.
That person is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.
Cao Wu shook his head, hiding these bitter memories, and continued to organize his thoughts.
"Cao's army has many soldiers, Zhou Yu's soldiers are few, Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers are alienated, and Huang Gai cannot pretend to surrender. These are all different from history."
He also calculated many things in the legend, and the final result was that this time there was no Jiang Gan stealing books, no serial boats, no straw boats borrowing arrows, and no borrowing the east wind!
"Chibi is just a place name, don't be afraid, just take advantage of it."
Cao Wu waited silently on the hillside for Jiangdong's army to break out of camp. Seeing Zhou Yu's banner disappear, he finally made up his mind to return to Cao's camp as soon as possible.
By the time the last Jiang Dongbing left, it was already evening.
The winter days are short and the light at night is not good, so Cao's army can't carry out large-scale boat attacks. Zhou Yu retreats to Chibi, so he doesn't have to worry about Cao's army coming again and can stop and camp.
Cao's army will be stationed in Wulin on the other side of Red Cliff, facing Jiangdong's army across the river.
So, in fact, his current location is already west of the two army camps. He must cross the river and then walk east along the north bank to find Cao Jun's camp.
But now during the war, except for a few merchants on the river, there were no ferries for a long time. The Yangtze River is so wide and he is riding a horse. How should he cross the river?
While he was frowning, he suddenly saw a speedboat sailing over from the other side of the river.
"Ferry? Is there still a ferry at this time?"
Cao Wu's eyes lit up, but he was not in a hurry to expose himself and continued to observe.
As he got closer, he realized that it was not a ferry, but a warship.
The warship was covered, so no one could be seen inside, but it was obviously heading towards the south bank.
Soon, the clipper docked, and before anyone could disembark and anchor, a group of ambushes had already appeared in a secret place on the shore.
There were ten people in the ambush, all of them cavalry. They seemed to be the scouts left by Zhou Yu. They held swords and axes and surrounded the clipper.
The scouts are usually the elite of the army. The cavalry cheered and rushed to the clipper. Seeing that the clipper was about to suffer disaster, Cao Wu suddenly saw a silver light appear.
Being far away, he didn't hear the sound, but saw that the body of the cavalry leader had been cut into two pieces.
Immediately afterwards, there were several more rays of silver light, and in just a few breaths, none of the ten cavalrymen escaped, and they all died on the spot!
"Oh my god...who is this awesome? The second master is nothing more than that, right?"
Cao Wu was shocked. Now in this world, Lu Bu and Dian Wei are dead. Everyone looks like Guan Erye, who betrayed his reputation, and Zhao Yun, who rarely shows off his skills. They should be regarded as the most powerful people in the world. They can kill instantly. Ten cavalry?
If you face the enemy head-on, it should be easy.
But solving it quickly like this is another matter. I'm afraid Guan Yu doesn't have such a fast sword.
Next, Cao Wu finally saw who such a strong person was.
Standing next to the clipper was a woman in white, with two long swords dripping with blood and inserted into the sheaths behind her back.
Cao Asan, a strange woman with a sword that seals her throat, is the only one among the hundred beauties in Beifu who knows martial arts.
