Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Gan Ning mobilized [-] Jinfan boats, and each boat was equipped with more than ten boatmen.As soon as the ship arrived, these craftsmen immediately began to tie scarecrows on the bow and stern of the ship.

This made Gan Ning confused, Gan Ning thought to himself, the governor called me over in the middle of the night, and it turned out to be here to make grass, which is really interesting.

Gan Ning didn't know what he was doing, and asked Zhou Yu suspiciously, "Commander, what are we doing?"

"Hey, Xingba, you'll know later." Zhou Yu said to Gan Ning.

At this time, Zhou Yu even tricked Gan Ning.Gan Ning thought to himself, the governor must have been infected by Mr. Kong Ming, no matter what, he became supernatural.

The bows and sterns of these thirty fast boats are covered with scarecrows. This is no small project.These craftsmen were busy for two full hours, and it was only around five o'clock that the work was completed.

"Captain, the straw man is tied up." After the craftsman finished his work, he hurriedly reported to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu had already dozed off a bit, but when he heard that the straw man was tied up, he suddenly regained his energy.

"Quickly, go and invite Mr. Kong Ming." Zhou Yu hurriedly told the left and right.

After the soldiers next to him got the order, they hurried to invite Zhuge Liang.After a short meeting, Zhuge Liang came over.

Zhuge Liang came to the river, looked at the thirty fast boats, and then at the straw figures tied on them.These Cao people's piercings are lifelike, and all of them are wearing leather armor.Not to mention the foggy weather now, even the normal good weather, you may not be able to distinguish clearly even if you are far away.

"Well, good, good."

"The craftsmen under the command of the governor are all good craftsmen." Zhuge Liang praised.

"no no."

"It's Mr. Kong Ming's good idea. This plan is really a clever plan." Zhou Yu said hastily.

Well, these two people are still playing business bragging here.

Chapter 317 Borrowing an Arrow from a Straw Boat

"Captain, how about going to the river with Liang to watch the foggy scene?" Zhuge Liang sent an invitation to Zhou Yu.

"Ha ha!"

"Okay, okay, this fog scene is indeed worth seeing." Zhou Yu laughed loudly.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu boarded the first boat arm in arm, and Gan Ning also boarded the first boat.These two are the backbone of Soochow, and Gan Ning has to protect them personally.

Gan Ning thought to himself, these two are really interesting, I have heard of those who watch flowers and mountains.It’s the first time I’ve heard about this view of the fog scene. When there is a heavy fog on the river, there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and you can’t see your fingers when you stretch out your hands. What’s so good about such a fog scene.

"Crash! Crash!"

There was a sound of oars paddling, and the thirty brocade sailing boats rowed quickly towards the middle of the river.

"Captain, you can't go any further. If you go forward, you will be within the range of the Qin army."

The boat kept rowing, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang didn't call to stop, and the boatman didn't dare to stop.Gan Ning couldn't bear it any longer, he leaned up to Zhou Yu and said.

Gan Ning thought to himself, we can't go any further, if we go any further, we will be giving away heads.

"It's okay, just keep going." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Seeing Gan Ning's hesitation, Zhou Yu hurriedly ordered, "Listen to Mr. Zhuge."

Zhou Yu issued an order, Gan Ning dared not disobey the order, so he could only bite the bullet and order his boatmen to continue rowing forward.

Now it happens to be the fifth watch, and this time is the most sleepy time for people.

However, due to the heavy fog tonight, Qin Jun's defense was very cautious, for fear that some Soochow troops would come to sneak attack.

"Crash! Crash!"

There was a sound of oars poking the water, and the soldiers in charge of the guard rushed to report to the governor Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong and Zhou Yu are both governors, but one is the governor of the Qin army, and the other is the governor of the Wu army.

Zheng Chenggong and Qi Jiguang got the report and hurried to the deck.Not long after, Cheng Yaojin who was in charge of guarding Li Chen also came.

"Is there an enemy attack?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Zheng Chenggong nodded, and said: "It should be a test. There are only thirty fast boats, and they may not be able to take the military test. There is no need to alarm His Highness King Qin."

Li Chen had just come to the surface of the water, and he was not used to living on the boat, so he felt a little insomnia, and he just fell asleep not long ago.

Zheng Chenggong is also an old water fighter. His trick of distinguishing ships by listening to the sound is really good. He can tell what kind of ships and how many there are based on the sound of the oars undulating the water surface.

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong frowned suddenly.At this time, the river was locked in thick fog, and the surrounding area was in a daze.Basically, he couldn't see anything clearly in his field of vision, but with his ears, Zheng Chenggong still heard the enemy ships approaching.

This was a bit beyond Zheng Chenggong's expectation. If the [-] fast boats were said to be stealing camps, these troops would be giving away their heads.But if it wasn't for stealing the camp, what were they doing all the time?

"Warning, the enemy is still approaching." Zheng Chenggong's order was conveyed, and the soldiers cheered up.

"Doctor Zheng, let's bombard his mother." Cheng Yaojin said to Zheng Chenggong expectantly.

Cheng Yaojin knew the power of these cannons, but they were usually fake targets, and it was finally a real battle. Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to hit two cannons in front of everyone.

Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong frowned and said, "No, you can't fire artillery. I have studied Soochow's tactics, and Soochow's water warfare basically uses dense wolf pack tactics. If the artillery is exposed now, I'm afraid it will be a decisive battle." At that time, Soochow will change its tactics."

Why Zheng Chenggong has been waiting instead of taking the initiative to attack.It is precisely because he has studied the battles of the Soochow Navy over the years.He discovered that the Soochow navy relied entirely on the large number of boats to swarm up, but this kind of warfare was a live target for artillery, and they could hit it with their eyes closed.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Chenggong is waiting for a decisive battle. He wants to annihilate the Soochow navy in one battle.Now that you have exposed the artillery, when it comes to the decisive battle, the Soochow navy will change its tactics.

"Dudu Zheng, the fog is too thick, I'm afraid I'll fall into the trap if we rush into battle, why don't we shoot them back with arrows?" Qi Jiguang said to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong nodded, thinking, now is not the time to expose the artillery, it is better to shoot with arrows.

"Fire the arrows." Zheng Chenggong gave an order.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and Qin Jun fired a thousand arrows, one round after another.It took a full shot of a stick of incense, and at least one hundred thousand arrows had to be shot.

The sound of shooting arrows was everywhere outside, waking Li Chen up from his dream.Li Chen came to the deck in the middle of the cabin, and after figuring out the situation, he thought to himself, this plot is a bit familiar.

"The straw boat borrowed arrows?"

"Zhuge Liang is on the opposite side?" Li Chen was startled suddenly. Zhuge Liang's character is not good.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"Stop shooting." Li Chen quickly stopped the soldiers who continued to shoot.

"How many arrows have you shot?" Li Chen asked sullenly.

When Li Chen asked, Zheng Chenggong estimated and replied: "There must be about 15."

"Damn it, it's been tricked. This is an arrow borrowed from a straw boat. The scarecrow they planted on the boat is an arrow to lie to us." Li Chen explained to everyone.

"What?" Zheng Chenggong was shocked.

Zheng Chenggong thought, I hunt geese all day long, but today I was blinded by geese.In fact, Zheng Chenggong can't be blamed for this, after all, even Cao Cao was caught in the trick.If Li Chen was not familiar with the plot, he would have fallen for it.

"Let me just say, these 15 arrows shot past, not to mention the rattan players, even the iron players, they will also shoot through them."

"If you don't retreat until now, there must be a problem." Qi Jiguang said from the side.

"King Qin, let's bombard his mother with cannons." Cheng Yaojin continued to shout from the side.

"No, no cannon."

"Use rockets, aren't they scarecrows? Let's use rockets to burn his mother." Zheng Chenggong said viciously.

On the opposite side, Zhuge Liang's thirty boats were already dangling away.Why is it wobbly, because the side facing the Qin army is already full of arrows, there are a total of [-] arrows, and now the ship is a bit sunk.

Why did the Qin army shoot 15 arrows, but Zhuge Liang's [-] ships only had about [-] arrows?This is not to say that there are some middlemen who make the difference. This is because the fog on the river is so thick that the Qin army can't aim. They all shoot indiscriminately in a hurry, and many arrows are shot in the river.

"Mr. Kong Ming, let's go?" Zhou Yu said cheerfully to Zhuge Liang. After all this hard work, he has harvested a total of [-] arrows.

"Go, do you want to go first?"

"Let's turn the boat around and let Qin Jun shoot us the other side." Zhuge Liang had a strategizing smile on his face.

Chapter 318 Zhuge Liang Nearly Died

Zhuge Liang's thirty grass boats were shot by the Qin army, and the side facing the Qin army was already shot.The ship was a little sunk, crooked as if it was about to fall over.

Zhou Yu thought to himself, there might be more than [-] arrows on board at this time.Zhou Yu thought, come on, these [-] arrows are in hand, we should go.

Zhuge Liangshui, let's turn the boat around instead of leaving.Let Qin Jun shoot us the other side as well.

At this time, it was not only Zhou Yu who admired Zhuge Liang from the bottom of his heart.Even Gan Ning admired Zhuge Liang from the bottom of his heart. Gan Ning thought to himself, this Mr. Zhuge is really tall, higher than the clouds in the sky.

Hundreds of thousands of arrows were shot at these thirty grass boats, and there were three thousand arrows on this boat.The scarecrows on the bow and stern of this boat are densely packed with arrows.

The Qin army only shot one side, so the ship was a bit heavy.The boatman staggered and turned the boat around, trying to expose the other side one by one, so that Qin Jun could shoot arrows at this side as well.

The thirty straw boats had just turned around, and in an instant, the arrows from Qin Jun's side came again.At this time, all the people hid in the cabin, and did not realize that it was a rocket that was fired this time.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

There was a sound of arrows passing through the air, and a smug smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.Zhuge Liang thought to himself, this time I can at least deceive you with 20 arrows from the Qin army.

However, the next moment Zhuge Liang's face suddenly changed.Because, it was suddenly ablaze outside, and a heat wave hit.

"Rocket, rocket."

"The Qin army used rockets, it's on fire, run away." The boatmen shouted in confusion, and there was a sudden chaos on the thirty straw boats.

The rockets shot by Qin Jun this time were all loaded with tung oil, which sparked the fire.When the rocket hit the grass man on Zhuge Liang's boat, it was like dry wood meeting a raging fire.In an instant, the fire blazed up immediately.

"Rocket, how could it be a rocket?"

"Could it be that someone from the Qin army has seen through my strategy." Zhuge Liang was already stupid at this time, and muttered to himself.

In this kind of foggy weather, it is very unreasonable to use rockets to attack the enemy.Because the rocket has tung oil and fire primer, this kind of rocket with increased weight has been greatly weakened in terms of range and power.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this time, the fire had already burned to the cabin, and the surrounding boats were constantly coming, and there was the sound of "plop, plop" diving.

Now those arrows have become a heavy burden. With those arrows, the boat can't run fast at all, let alone the fire is still burning on the boat at this time.At this time, there is no other choice but to escape by diving.

"Mr. Zhuge, don't think so much at this time, just dive into the water and escape." Zhou Yu shouted to Zhuge Liang, and then quickly plunged into the river.

"Pfft!"

When Zhou Yu jumped, Gan Ning immediately followed suit.At this time, there were boatmen jumping into the water all over the meeting, just like dumpling.

Zhou Yu is from Jiangdong, and grew up on the river since he was a child.His water skills are not bad, let alone Gan Ning, he is known as a dragon in the water.

Gan Ning quickly swam to Zhou Yu's side, fearing that something might happen to their great governor.

After Zhou Yu saw Gan Ning, he hurriedly looked around. Who was Zhou Yu looking for? He was looking for Zhuge Liang.

At this moment, everyone else jumped off the boat, but Zhuge Liang was still on board.Why doesn't Zhuge Liang dance?Because this Zhuge Liang can't water.Of course, it would be nonsense to say that you can't at all, he can drink.

Zhou Yu looked around for a long time, but couldn't find Mr. Zhuge, so he hurriedly rowed to the boat again.At this time, the whole ship was already on fire, and Zhuge Liang was trapped in the cabin by the fire because of hesitation.

"Mr. Zhuge, jump quickly, jump quickly." Zhou Yu shouted anxiously.

"I can't swim, I can't swim!" Zhuge Liang shouted in the cabin.

"Mr. Zhuge, jump quickly, we will follow you. If you don't jump, the fire will kill you." Gan Ning also shouted quickly.

At this time, if you don't jump, you will definitely be burned to death, and you may be drowned before you jump.Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang also went all out, and rushed out of the cabin with his head covered.The fire immediately set his clothes, hair, and beard ablaze.Zhuge Liang jumped into the river like a fireball.

"Pfft!"

"Google! Gumble!"

Zhuge Liang didn't know how to swim, so when he jumped into the river, he immediately sank into the river.His sinking was both a blessing and a curse.It is a blessing because he just drowned the fire on his body when he sank into the river.It's a disaster, because there is too much water in the river, and Zhuge Liang can't hold it in his stomach.

Zhuge Liang jumped into the river, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning rushed to fish.If the fishing is slow, it may not be possible to fish.

Thanks to Zhou Yu and Gan Ning's good water skills, they didn't have much time to pull Zhuge Liang's arm and drag him up from the river.

After finding Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning dragged him from left to right and rowed towards their water village.This place is not close to their water village, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning paddled for half an hour before taking Zhuge Liang ashore.

"Great Governor!"

"What's going on with you?" Lu Xun asked with a confused expression when he saw the distressed appearance of the three of them.

Lu Xun thought to himself, didn't the three of you borrow arrows?Why does it feel like it's not borrowing something, it's being robbed halfway.
