"That's great!"
After reading Pang Tong's report, Liu Bei was overjoyed.
"Shiyuan has successfully gained Cao Cao's trust and is currently supervising the modification of the ship."
"Looks like the Cao Army can no longer hold back. In three days, the Cao Army will definitely attack!"
Zhuge Liang smiled.
"Milord, we don't have to wait any longer. The Cao Army has already retreated to Jiangdong. They won't have any more ambushes!"
Liu Bei nodded.
"Yunchang, Yide, Zilong! I order the three of you to lead three thousand soldiers to Red Cliff and wait for an opportunity to attack! "
"Yes, milord!"
The three of them couldn't wait any longer and were overjoyed when they heard the order. They quickly walked out of the hall.
Along the way, they had been playing whack-a-mole games with the Cao Army. Whenever they were caught off guard, they would be attacked in the dark. Now, they could finally face the enemy head-on.
However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei walked very quickly. They didn't seem to have any intention of waiting for Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun wanted to say something but the two of them looked at him coldly. Zhao Yun could only swallow his words.
After being in Jiangxia for so long, Zhao Yun was used to it. It wasn't just Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Other than the military advisor, all the other strategists avoided him.
Zhao Yun couldn't figure out what he did wrong.
However, the battle was imminent. Zhao Yun didn't have the heart to think about it. He held the bright silver dragon gall spear tightly and walked toward the barracks.
… …
Three days passed quickly. Under Pang Tong's lead, the modification of the warship was quickly completed.
The huge warship was chained together by thick iron chains. It stood still in the turbulent river and looked very impressive.
"Hahahaha, good!"
Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed and said,
"Thank you for your hard work, Shiyuan. After this battle, Shiyuan will definitely reward you!"
Pang Tong lowered his head and spoke in an extremely humble manner.
"It's all thanks to the Prime Minister's guidance that our army was able to complete such a massive fortification within three days without any sloppiness."
"You don't have to be modest, Shi Yuan. You've just entered my service and you've already made such a great contribution. You must not decline the reward!"
Cao Cao waved his hand.
Seeing this, Pang Tong didn't say anything else. Instead, he lowered his head and saluted.
"All soldiers, board the ship!"
Cao Cao drew his sword from its scabbard and roared. Then, he took the lead and walked to the largest warship. The Cao Army followed closely behind in an orderly manner.
Not long after, the ships sank a little.
"Not bad, according to Shiyuan's plan, this boat has indeed withstood the turbulent river. Walking on this boat is really like walking on flat ground!"
Cao Ren laughed and said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at the other side of the river and didn't make a sound.
After a long while, Cao Cao stroked his beard and said,
"I've waited for this day for a long time. Today, on this Red Cliff, I will fight a battle that will be passed down through the ages! Let the future generations speak of it! "
"Soldiers!"
"Today, I'll use the wine in my hand as a sacrifice, we won't go back until we win!"
The soldiers quickly knelt down in the direction of Cao Cao and shouted in unison:
"We won't go back until we win!"
"We won't go back until we win!"
"We won't go back until we win!"
"… …"
At the side, Pang Tong looked around, a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.
The Cao Army was indeed strong. They only had a 30% chance of winning, but their eyes were filled with the desire for victory.
It was no wonder that Cao Cao could unify the north.
Even a lord like Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao.
From this, one could see the strength of Cao Cao's army.
"Wolong, I hope that your plan will work. Protect Jiangdong, protect Jiangxia … …"
Pang Tong's heart tightened as he thought to himself.
"Advance! Kill your way to Jiangdong! "
Cao Cao waved his sword and pointed to the other side of the river. The soldiers immediately beat their drums and roared.
The drumbeats resounded throughout the entire Yangtze River, continuous and unending.
"Shiyuan, follow me onto the boat. The river is turbulent and the boat has limited space. Shiyuan, you can stay next to me!"
Cao Cao patted Pang Tong's shoulder and smiled.
However, Pang Tong didn't feel Cao Cao's good intentions. Instead, he felt a chill down his spine.
Stay next to you?
How is this for my safety? This is clearly to imprison me!
Cao Cao's room was surrounded by guards. If he wanted to escape, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
"Could it be that Traitor Cao has seen through my plan?"
Pang Tong couldn't help but think. But when he looked at the sturdy chains under the boat, he put away this thought.
No matter what, this plan had succeeded.
Even if he died here today, as long as he reached his goal, it would be worth it!
Thinking about this, Pang Tong bowed and thanked him before following the guard back to his room.
When the drums sounded, Bai Feng, who was far away in Jingzhou, stood by the window. Xun Yu, Cao Chun, and the others also stood up and looked at the river.
Although they couldn't see the warship clearly, they could hear the drums.
The Battle of Red Cliff had begun!
At this moment, Bai Feng was somewhat excited.
Although he had made many preparations, as a modern person, how could he not be excited to personally witness such a famous battle?
"I hope that this battle will go smoothly!"
Cao Chun muttered.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "This battle is extremely dangerous.
Looking at the rapid flow of the river, I don't know if our soldiers will be able to hold on. "
Bai Feng sighed and said, "If my guess is correct, Prime Minister Xiang has already proposed to the Prime Minister.
"If I'm not wrong, that Pang Shiyuan should have gone to the Prime Minister's subordinates to propose a plan. If the soldiers are still not used to fighting on the river, the Prime Minister will not recklessly advance."
"Pang Shiyuan?!"
Xun Yu was shocked and squinted his eyes.
"Mr Bai, are you talking about that Young Phoenix, Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan?"
Bai Feng nodded and said, "I heard that he has already left.
"Recently, I heard that he left the mountain. Some people have already seen him. His figure is strangely short and incomparably ugly. It's impossible not to pay attention to him."
Xun Yu was overjoyed.
"Young Phoenix actually came to our army. This means that the success rate of this battle has increased by at least 30%!"
Bai Feng shook his head but didn't say anything. Xun Yu stopped smiling and silently watched the battle by the river.
"They have already started fighting."
Bai Feng's eyesight was amazing. He could clearly see the battle by the river from so far away.
The army had just advanced when they encountered a canyon and quickly slowed down. Clearly, the first wave of ambushes had already been launched.
Moreover, several warships had already arrived in the distance.
This was bound to be a huge battle!
Bai Feng slowly sat down and whispered,
"Is there any battle report?"
Cheng Yu nodded slightly and got up to leave.
Not long after, Cheng Yu returned and whispered,
"At this moment, our army is fighting with the Jiangdong Army. We were ambushed and lost hundreds of soldiers. One of our warships seems to be about to be destroyed."
"However … those ambushes have almost all been eliminated."
Bai Feng nodded. Everything was as written in the history books. The wheel of history was still moving forward.
But Bai Feng didn't care how many ambushes there were. Bai Feng only thought about it now.
