The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 262 The Battle of Chibi
Cao Cao in the north planned to kill Ma Teng, thinking that a big hidden danger had been eliminated, so he was gathering an army, transporting grain and grass, and preparing to attack Hanzhong.

Above the Yangtze River in the south, a decisive battle is about to take place between Zhang Wu and Sun Quan.

Jiang Qin, who wanted to harass Jiangling, saw that Feng Xi led the Jiangling water army to defend very tightly, and there was no chance, so he withdrew.

On this day, the Jiangdong navy was assembled. Sun Quan summoned his generals to swear an oath on his command ship. Sun Quan announced on the spot that in this battle, everyone in the Jiangdong army would obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yu, and those who disobeyed the orders would not be pardoned. , and then each general returned to his own army, waiting for the order to attack.

Zhou Yu asked Lu Su to tell the officers and soldiers of the various ministries: "Pack up your ships, weapons, sails, oars, etc., and attack immediately when you hear the order. If there is any violation of military orders or delays in military aircraft, it will be dealt with according to military law."

The Jiangdong Army prepared a large number of fireships in the fleet. The bows of the ships were densely covered with large iron nails so that they could be firmly nailed to the iron-locked ships of the Jingzhou Army to avoid being pushed away by the Jingzhou Army.The boats were filled with reeds and dry firewood, splashed with fish oil, covered with sulfur and other fire starters, and covered with green cloth oil sheets.

Sun Quan stayed behind to press the formation, also to avoid interfering with Zhou Yu's command of the army.And the secret weapon of the Jiangdong Army this time, Taoist Gong Chong, Taoist Yu Ji's apprentice, is on Sun Quan's big boat. He has finished fasting and bathing, has set up the altar, and is ready to practice at any time.

Now it is the southeast wind, and Zhou Yu has made an agreement with Sun Quan. After the battle begins, Zhou Yu will set fire to the chained ships of the Jingzhou Army, which happens to be with the wind.

But if it is true, as Zhou Yu guessed, that Zhang Wu has the ability to change the direction of the wind, once this happens and the wind direction changes to the northwest, then Sun Quan will immediately order Gong Chong to change the direction of the wind back and beat Zhang Wu. Caught off guard.

Because Gong Chong had to prepare for a few days in advance every time he practiced the Dharma, he would be mentally exhausted after the Dharma, and he would have to rest for a long time to recover.Therefore, Zhou Yu took a gamble, betting that Zhang Wu would not be able to change the wind direction at any time, at least not continuously in a short period of time.

Zhou Yu didn't dare to use a feint to test, he was afraid that Zhang Wu would be aware of his intentions, so he raised his vigilance, because Zhang Wu and his counselors are extremely smart people.

If you lose the bet, you don't need to attack with fire at all. Then you can use your real skills to fight in close quarters. Anyway, there are small boats on your side, so you are not afraid of the opponent's attack with fire.

Sometimes, fighting also requires a gamble. Everything in this world can be predicted.

After everything was ready, Zhou Yu ordered the whole army to pull anchor and set sail.

Seeing that the Jiangdong army was dispatched, Zhang Wu also ordered the Jingzhou army to fight, with Gan Ning as the vanguard, Ding Feng on the left, Wen Pin on the right, Zhang Wu and Zhuge Liang in the center, and Pang Tong in the rear.

After Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others joined Jingzhou, they also went to the water army for intensive training. Although they were not as familiar with water warfare as Gan Ning and Ding Feng, and could command the water army to fight, it was no problem to stand on the boat and fight. up.

In the original book, before the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei had [-] sailors under the leadership of Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others often sailed and led troops to support them.Later, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, so he was already a qualified naval general, otherwise how would he flood the Seventh Army?

Zhou Cang under Guan Yu also jumped into the water and captured Pound alive. Now they have all adapted to water warfare, not to mention that now they are all riding chained boats, just like on land.

As soon as the war started, Zhou Yu ordered the fireboat to be lit. Pan Zhang, who was in charge of the fireship, ordered the soldiers to light the firewood on the fireboat, and a raging fire suddenly broke out.

The fire boat was burning with fire and billowing thick smoke, drifting towards the Jingzhou army in the east wind.

Many soldiers of the Jingzhou Army were a little panicked when they saw that the other party actually set fire to the ship and that they were downwind, but they were suppressed by the officers.

"Sure enough, Zhou Yu wants to take advantage of the east wind to set fire to the ship! However, God may not let him do so!" Zhang Wu said with a smile. Unfortunately, Zhou Lang will be disappointed this time. Brother will immediately change your Dongfeng. No, I also made you a west wind and let you set yourself on fire.

When Zhuge Liang first saw Zhou Yu setting fire, he was a little worried, because the iron chain ship was most afraid of fire attack. Once the opponent's fire ship got close, and there was a favorable wind, his 8-strong army would be wiped out.

But seeing that Zhang Wu wasn't nervous at all, Zhuge Liang felt relieved when he said it so easily. He knew that Zhang Wu couldn't put himself in a dangerous position.

Sure enough, Zhang Wu then activated the skill of summoning the wind and rain, summoning the northwest wind to help in the battle.

The wind direction changed suddenly, from southeast to northwest. The fire boat that was drifting towards the Jingzhou army was slowly stopped by the wind, and then turned around and drifted towards the Jiangdong army.

The morale of the Jingzhou army was greatly boosted, and they shouted "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang, playing with fire and wetting the bed!"

After Zhang Wu and Zhuge Liang heard it, they also laughed happily.

Seeing that the fire boat was slowly drifting back, the Jiangdong army was shocked and panicked. Why did the wind suddenly change direction?Is God helping the other side?How can I fight this?
After Zhou Yu saw the change of the wind direction, he sighed in his heart, indeed, that Zhang Wuguo really has the ability to change the wind direction, if I hadn't prepared in advance, I would really lose this battle.

However, Zhang Wu, you didn't think of it either!I have already seen through your plan and dug a hole for you. You thought I fell for your plan, but in fact you fell for my plan!

Zhou Yu said to Lu Meng who was beside him: "Send the order, all ministries are ready to attack!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Lu Meng then issued an order to all ministries with the order flag.

In order to keep it secret, except for Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, the other generals did not know about Gong Chong. Seeing Zhou Yu's order to prepare for an assault, although they were puzzled, none of them dared to disobey the order.

Seeing the sudden change of the wind direction, Sun Quan at the rear was frightened and quickly said to Gong Chong: "Master Gong, someone is doing something on the opposite side, please quickly change the wind direction!"

Gong Chong saw that the wind from the southeast just now suddenly turned to the northwest. Moreover, it was spring now, which was very unscientific!I didn’t expect that there was someone who knew magic on the opposite side, but I didn’t know which Taoist sect they were from.

However, Gong Chong didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly started practicing.I saw the palace Taoist Master holding a wooden sword in his hand, wearing a Taoist robe, and surrounded by various magical instruments and flags. He began to recite incantations and dance with his sword. After a while, the northwest wind turned into a southeast wind!
Sun Quan saw that the flag on the ship changed direction again, and he was overjoyed. Everything went well, as the governor expected. This time, the Jiangdong Army will win a big victory!

Zhang Wu, your time of death has arrived!
My fast flying horse!
My ancient ingot knife!

Also, my Jingzhou!
Zhou Yu waited anxiously ahead, seeing that the fire boat was about to drift back to the Jiangdong Army formation, suddenly the wind direction changed again!

Dear Dongfeng is back!
Seeing those fire boats dangling and starting to drift towards the opposite side again, this time the Jiangdong Army was extremely ecstatic, God still helped us!
Zhou Yu drew his sword, pointed forward, and shouted: "The whole army attacks!"
