Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 227 Fighting the Red Cliff and Burning the Warship

After Cai Mao withdrew from Xiakou, his mind was full of confusion.He was still stuck in his own thinking, he couldn't figure out why Zhang Yi wanted to attack Xiangyang?He can't attack!If you want to attack Xiangyang, Wenpin's Pang Kingdom is the only way to go. If Zhang Yi didn't attack Xia Pang Kingdom, he would not be able to attack Xiangyang at all.

The green forest and mountains lie between Jiangxia and Xiangyang. Zhang Yi has only two ways to attack Xiangyang, through the state of Pang, the state of Bi, and then to Xiangyang.This road is guarded by Wenpin, and it is basically impossible for Zhang Yi to break through Wenpin's defense.Another road is to bypass Lulin Mountain from the north and go to Suixian, Zhangling, and Caiyang, but this road is too long, and the distance between the three counties is relatively long, and the road is not very good, so it cannot achieve the purpose of surprise attack .

So why did Zhang Yi want to stop Zhang Yun?Cai Mao thought about it but didn't understand it.

At this time, a general came in and said to Cai Mao, "Captain, there seems to be an enemy navy ahead."

Cai Mao was shocked. He had been worrying about Zhang Yi's trick just now. Did it come true now?He immediately stood up, walked out of the cabin, and looked forward.I saw a warship standing in front of me, and on the flagpole on the warship, there was a word Su.

Cai Mao didn't know who this general surnamed Su was, but on the other big flag on the top of the ship, it was the flag of Zhang Yi's General Zhengdong.

Cai Mao looked at the waterway in front of him. The waterway was not narrow, and the Jiangdong water army blocked the northwest direction, which was the upper air outlet.Cai Mao was very worried about the conspiracy of the Jiangdong navy. He chose to be cautious again, stopped all the boats, and then sent small boats to investigate.

The small boat sent by Cai Mao was quickly intercepted by Su Fei's troops. A small grasshopper boat sank after a few crossbow arrows went down.

Cai Mao became even more suspicious. He wanted to know what Su Fei was hiding, so he continued to send the grasshopper boat to investigate.

Cai Mao was delayed here, but Li Bao and Zhang Shun behind him did not stop.The distance between the two sides was not far at first, but Li Bao quickly caught up with Cai Mao.But Li Bao also stopped, and he didn't understand why Cai Mao didn't go there?Su Fei's setup is right in front, past Su Fei's interception is the ambush location.And this place is quite interesting, very interesting to Zhang Yi, it is called Chibi.

The place name Chibi is related to its geographical features. On a cliff on the shore, there is a piece of red rock, so it is called Chibi.But this place was not chosen by Zhang Yi. He would not pay attention to every battle and make plans.This plan was designed by Li Bao, and the location was also chosen by Li Bao.

Li Bao didn't know that the historical Battle of Chibi was here, but this place was very suitable for a battlefield.It is very wide here, but not wide enough to spread out Cao Cao's many ships.And it is precisely because of the width that Cai Mao relaxes his vigilance.The waterways here are also quite tortuous, otherwise they would be suitable for ambushes.

Cai Hao couldn't help but become nervous when he saw Li Baobu chasing after him.He felt that he could not wait any longer. If he waited any longer, he would be attacked from both sides again.Cai Hao decided not to wait any longer, and immediately ordered: "Weigh anchor, let's rush over!"

Cai Mao's navy activated and rushed from the southeast direction of Su Fei.Seeing the launch of Cai Mao's navy, Li Bao and Zhang Shun, who had just caught up, immediately accelerated their speed and rushed forward to suppress Cai Mao's navy.At the same time, Su Fei's warships also approached at this time. While they used crossbow arrows to suppress the counterattack of Cai Mao's navy, they continued to ram their ships into Cai Mao's fleet, knocking them together.

Li Bao looked at the Cai Mao fleet that was constantly being suppressed, and smiled, and the red rock of Chibi was already exposed in front of him.

Seeing that the fleet was being suppressed continuously, Cai Mao immediately became alert.He kept ordering: "All spread out, don't get together."

But Cai Mao's boat was small, and after being bumped together, the masts and sculls were all bound together, and they couldn't row at all. If they wanted to disperse, they couldn't do it for a while.

After going out like this for two or three miles, a big fire suddenly broke out in front of a bend in the river, like a sea of ​​flames.

But Cai Mao, who is familiar with water battles, knew that it was a fireboat.The fire boat was about a mile ahead, and it was still approaching.

Cai Mao looked at the surface of the water in horror, and exclaimed loudly, "Quickly spread out! Quickly spread out!"

Cai Mao's soldiers were also very frightened, they also found the fire boat.As long as the fire boat rushed over, they would have no possibility of escape.The soldiers became frightened and tried hard to separate the ships, but they failed no matter what.

As the fire boat approached non-stop, Cai Mao and his soldiers became more and more frightened, but they had no choice but to watch the fire boat collide with their fleet and burn up.

Seeing that the fire boat had crashed into the fleet, Li Bao ordered to evacuate.After Li Bao withdrew, the big ship gradually lost contact with the fleet, and many fighting ships were fettered.

"Pull them out with hook locks!" Li Bao asked the big boat to connect the fighting ships with hook locks, and then pulled the fighting ships out.

After breaking away, Li Bao did not retreat, but monitored nearby, and once any ships broke away, he would ram them in again.

Seeing the fleet being engulfed in flames, Cai Mao became terrified. He shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Abandon the ship, as many as you can escape!"

Cai Mao's words gave the soldiers a life-saving straw, and they abandoned the ship one after another.But it is a pity that this piece of water is close to the south bank, and the south bank is a cliff, and it is impossible to go ashore at all.Moreover, there are many ships on the water, and it is not safe to abandon the ship.Many people had no way to escape. They were either hit by the boat and fainted, sank into the water and drowned, or were burned to death.Only a few soldiers escaped, but they were all captured by the Jiangdong navy.

The fire lasted for one night, and Li Bao retreated back to Xiakou after making sure that no one would swim out of it.

"Congratulations to the host's power for killing the historical celebrity Cai Mao, and summoning the historical celebrity Zheng Chenggong."

"Zheng Chenggong, force: 89, strategy: 91, strategy: 72, internal affairs: 83, education: 76, diplomacy: 84. Characteristics: naval warfare."

Zhang Yi held a banquet in Xiakou to meet Li Bao, Zhang Shun and Su Fei, "The three generals have made great achievements in this battle. This battle wiped out Cai Mao's navy in one fell swoop, paving the way for me to attack Jiangling. The three rested for two days. Then lead me to attack Jiangling, and then return to Shaxian to meet Di Qing's tribe."

Li Bao nodded, "My lord, Jiangling has no soldiers to defend now, we should set off after dawn."

Zhang Shun said: "That's right, my lord, our usual training is to train endurance, and we don't need to rest. After capturing Jiangling, it's not too late to take a rest!"

　Thank you mo mo 8 mo mo for the reward, and Xie Mengyi's account for the 500 reward
