The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 245

While speaking, I saw Zhang Xi, the former commander-in-chief of the army, jumped onto the opponent's warship and formed an formation on the wide deck to fight with the Jingzhou army.After fighting for a while, the Jingzhou army saw that they couldn't resist, and finally gave up the chained ship, jumped into the boat and fled backwards.

Yu Jin was overjoyed, and quickly waved the command flag, and dispatched small boats to order all the ministries to quickly press on it, intending to wipe out the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop.

Zhang Wu stood on the deck, constantly observing the battlefield with binoculars, and the three military divisions standing beside him also had a binoculars to observe the battle situation.

Zhuge Liang was amazed that there is such an ingenious thing in this world that can clearly see the distant scene. This is simply a powerful weapon for marching and fighting!With this telescope, the commander-in-chief of the first army can keep abreast of the battle situation, discover abnormal situations, and grasp the opportunity of the battle.

"Governor, most of Cao's warships are already concentrated in front of the formation. Liang thinks that the time is almost here." Zhuge Liang said.

If you want to set fire to the opponent, of course, the best situation is that the opponent's warships are all gathered together, so that he can burn them all.But Yu Jin was still very cautious. At the beginning, the various ministries were far apart. If they were attacked by fire, they would most likely disperse and flee.

Now after some containment and mobilization by Ding Feng, Cao Jun's front army, left army and right army have basically gathered together, and after the Jingzhou army showed weakness, Cao Jun gradually became more courageous, and now he has let go of his hands and feet and started Competing to rush forward, they all want to grab the credit.

It is impossible to wait for all the warships of the Cao army to gather together. Now that most of the warships of the Cao army are gathered in front, it is the best time.Moreover, Cao Jun has been pressing down on the Jingzhou Army, and has already passed the center of the Han River far away without knowing it. If it is attacked by fire at this time, even the Cao Jun warships that are still behind for the time being may not have time to escape.

Zhang Wu put away the binoculars and said, "What time is it?"

"My lord, it's [-]:[-] noon." Pang Tong replied.

Cao Jun set off at Sishi, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning, and after the two sides encountered each other, they tested each other again. It has been more than an hour since the official fierce battle.

"Order all the ministries to get ready, there will be a south wind at [-]:[-] p.m., and then all the ministries will act according to plan!" Zhang Wu ordered.

"Yes, my lord!" A soldier issued a flag to pass the order, and at the same time, more than a dozen small boats scattered, and quickly notified the generals in charge of the troops.

Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang all knew in advance that Zhang Wu was going to defeat Cao Jun with a fire attack, but they couldn't guess how it would be implemented.Now I suddenly heard Zhang Wu say that the south wind will blow soon, and I am very surprised. The north wind is blowing whistling in this winter, how could it suddenly turn to the south?

Who is a military adviser who knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and Pang Tong is a native of Jingzhou. Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang have also lived in Jingzhou for many years. Of course, they also know that the south wind occasionally blows in winter.

But it is impossible to have a southerly wind in this climatic condition now!How did the Grand Governor predict this?And what a coincidence, it happened to be the time to fight Cao Jun, or the most suitable time to use fire to attack, and the south wind would blow!
Could it be that the south wind was borrowed by the governor?
Although full of doubts, all three of them knew that it was impossible for Zhang Wu to speak big words at such a critical moment, which was related to the life and death of Jingzhou.As a man of great governor, since he said so, he must be sure.

Therefore, while looking forward to the arrival of the south wind, the three military advisers thought about what kind of impact it would have if Jingzhou won this battle, and what kind of changes would occur in the trend of the world.

The time soon reached three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Wu activated the skill of "calling the wind and calling the rain" and summoned the south wind to help in the battle.

Wind power, level five.

In an instant, the piercing north wind suddenly stopped, and when the soldiers on both sides were unaware, the south wind gradually blew.

Seeing the commander-in-chief on the warship suddenly turn in a different direction, Pang Tong and the others looked at each other in astonishment. The south wind really blows, exactly as the governor said!

Now Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang admired Zhang Wu. They all knew in the past that the governor was highly skilled in martial arts, outstanding in literary talent, and had invented so many fantastic things, but now he was so unpredictable.What is there in this world that the Governor doesn’t understand?

Following Zhang Wu's order, some soldiers ignited the hay in several large iron basins that had been prepared on the big ship, and suddenly a puff of smoke rose into the sky and was blown northward by the wind. The smoke turned out to be red.

This is the counterattack signal agreed by Zhang Wu and the generals in advance. When the red smoke rises, it is when the Jingzhou army sets fire, when the Jingzhou army counterattacks with all its strength, and when Cao's army is defeated.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who had been waiting for the order to fight back were overjoyed. There was really a south wind, and the governor was really a god!Cao Jun has been oppressing and beating them for a long time, and even deliberately showing weakness. The soldiers of Jingzhou Army have long held back their stomachs, and now they are finally going to fight back.

Zhang Fei couldn't wait a long time ago. Seeing that Cao Cao was ahead, he wished he could fly to Cao Cao's big boat with his wings and stab Cao Cao into a big hole with one shot.If it weren't for Zhang Wu's order, Zhang Fei would have driven Zhang He into the water just now.

Countless small boats suddenly appeared behind the Jingzhou army's iron-chained boats. The boats were filled with hay and firewood splashed with kerosene, and then they were lit one by one, and floated towards Cao Jun's water army along the wind.

When the red smoke rose, Cao Cao felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while. It was not until the red smoke slowly drifted to his side that Cao Cao realized that, at some point, he went north. The wind has turned south!

"Not good! Wen Ze, quickly order the front army to withdraw quickly!" Cao Cao said in a panic.

"Ah? Prime Minister, why is this?" Yu Jin was still immersed in the joy of defeating the Jingzhou Army, and had no idea what happened.

Cao Cao pointed to the "handsome" banner and said tremblingly, "Look, the wind direction has changed!"

Yu Jin looked up, and saw that the "handsome" flag was waving to the north, it was a southerly wind!

What does a southerly wind mean?Yu Jin is too clear, there are more than 20 iron chain ships gathered in front of him, this is too dangerous!
"Send the order quickly, the whole army will retreat quickly, the whole army will retreat quickly!" Yu Jin climbed onto the high platform and shouted loudly while waving the order flag.

It's a pity that it's too late, even ordinary warships are inconvenient to turn around and retreat, not to mention this kind of chained ship like a small castle that binds a dozen large ships together.

The fire boat of the Jingzhou Army had already floated along the wind. With the thick black smoke, the exuberant flames, and the sudden south wind, Cao Jun soldiers seemed to have seen death.
