"Commander in chief! The difference in strength between our army and the Cao Army is too great. Countless soldiers have died! "
Huang Gai's expression was solemn as he spoke to Zhou Yu.
At this moment, Huang Gai's body was covered in wounds. Although his left arm was bandaged, one could still see blood seeping out.
Zhou Yu frowned as he shook his head and muttered,
"Far from enough."
"Ah?"
Huang Gai was stunned. Zhou Yu did not seem to have heard anything.
To prevent any accidents, Zhou Yu did not tell anyone about the fire attack plan. Even Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and other trustworthy old generals did not know about it.
How could Huang Gai not be anxious when he saw the Jiangdong soldiers sending themselves to their deaths?
Zhou Yu sighed,
"Gongfu, I know you're anxious. However, this is a war. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions."
"Stabilize the troops and try to stop the Cao Army from advancing. Do not let the Cao Army cross the river!"
Huang Gai's expression was ugly.
"Commander in chief! Do you know that the frontlines are being filled with the bodies of Dongwu soldiers? "
Huang Gai's meaning was simple. If they could give up on the water in front of them and reach the second ambush point, they could reduce the number of casualties.
Zhou Yu shook his head and did not speak.
Seeing this, Huang Gai could only sigh.
"Understood!"
After speaking, Huang Gai turned and left.
Looking at the back of this old general, Zhou Yu felt uncomfortable. However, the plan was about to succeed. No matter what, they could not back down.
Although they had to wait for the east wind to arrive, the fire would be uncontrollable. The closer the Cao Army got to the shore, the more danger the Jiangdong civilians would be in.
"This is far from enough!"
Zhou Yu raised his hand and felt the direction of the wind. However, the east wind still did not arrive.
At this moment, the battle on the river had reached its climax. As it was a water battle, they could not use their white soldiers. Both sides relied on arrows and fire arrows.
However, the direction of the wind was not east. The fire arrows could not cause too much damage. Both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The rain of arrows seemed to cover the sky as they flew back and forth. More and more corpses were thrown into the river. Soon, the river was dyed red.
Even the rushing river couldn't wash away the blood-red color!
Although Jiangdong had a small number of soldiers, most of them were navy soldiers. Their combat experience was not something that most of the Cao Army, who had participated in naval battles for the first time, could compare. Both sides were evenly matched.
Especially during the battle, the violent shaking and the impact of the river water made the Cao Army's warships unstable.
If it wasn't for the chains, the Cao Army would have been scattered like sand.
Seasickness was definitely not a pleasant feeling, not to mention that the air was filled with the smell of blood. Even Cao Cao was frowning.
"Hold on, the second batch of archers, keep up!"
Cao Ren shouted and commanded the battle in an orderly manner.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, causing the officers and soldiers on the ship to shudder. Even Cao Ren couldn't help but shudder.
The wind was blowing!
East Wind!
Cao Ren's eyes widened and he felt a little scared.
Before this, Bai Feng told Cao Ren that Jiangdong might use fire to attack.
Although there was a way to counter it, Cao Ren knew that fire was merciless. If anything went wrong, all the Cao Army soldiers would have to pay with their lives.
"The heavens are helping me!"
Zhou Yu, who had been waiting for the wind, immediately sensed that it was blowing towards the east. He quickly shouted,
"All armies, listen up! Ignite the fire against the enemy! "
Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and the others were stunned for a moment. They immediately understood Zhou Yu's meaning and tacitly followed Zhou Yu's orders.
"Good! So the Commander in Chief had already planned this. Dong Yue Wu will definitely win this battle! "
Huang Gai laughed and said.
Cheng Pu stroked his beard and smiled, "This is the gift of the heavens.
"This East Wind is a gift from the Heavens to Jiangdong. With this wind, the Cao army will be burned to ashes!"
The morale of the Jiangdong soldiers soared from their initial defeat.
Cao Ren took a closer look and saw countless ships coming from Jiangdong, heading towards him at a high speed.
On those ships, there was a raging fire!
On these small ships were several Jiangdong elites who were strong in the water and were not afraid of death.
They were almost covered in flames as they swarmed towards the Cao Army's battleships like demons.
At this moment, on the bow of the ship.
Pang Tong, who had been frowning all this time, suddenly saw the flames on the opposite shore. His eyes instantly lit up.
Although Pang Tong was unable to leave the ship, he could still feel it.
The east wind had arrived!
Everything was going according to plan!
The only thing he needed to think about now was how to escape.
Although Pang Tong came to the Cao Army with the intention of sacrificing himself, why would he give up his life if he had the chance?
Just as Pang Tong was thinking of escaping, the door to the room suddenly opened.
The person who came was none other than Cao Cao!
Pang Tong was shocked and couldn't help but slowly step back.
However, Cao Cao's face was full of smiles as he said,
"Sir, your Iron Chain Connecting Ships plan is indeed a divine plan. Our army's battle is even more ferocious than I predicted!"
Pang Tong's face twitched but he still clasped his hands and forced a smile,
"Prime Minister, this is what I should do."
"Oh?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh wildly. Then, his eyes gradually became extremely cold and filled with killing intent,
"What do you mean by 'what do you think'? What a 'what do you mean by that! "
"Is this' what do you mean by 'what do you mean by sending me to hell'?"
"Ah?"
Pang Tong was shocked.
From Cao Cao's words, could it be that his plan had been seen through?
Then, Cao Cao turned around and shouted,
"Cao Ren, untie those iron chains for me!"
Pang Tong immediately looked at Cao Cao with a fake smile and didn't say a word.
Untie?
How could it be untied?
This Overseer was personally handled by him, and he had checked every detail.
The iron chains were extremely sturdy. Seeing that the Fire Ship was about to arrive, how could it be untied in such a short time?
Cao Cao saw what Pang Tong was thinking. He waved his hand and the guards beside him escorted Pang Tong to the deck.
At this moment, the Cao Army was waving their large sabers at the point where the iron chains were connected to the ship's hull.
The iron chains actually broke and sank into the Yangtze River!
"This! How is this possible?! "
Pang Tong's eyes suddenly became hollow. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Cao Cao sneered,
"Young Phoenix? How laughable. Your plan has already been seen through by my Mr. Bai. "
"At night, I had already sent troops to replace the links with wood. You didn't do your job well as a military governor!"
Pang Tong felt bad. He tried to escape but was held down by the guards who were already prepared. He couldn't move at all.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted,
"General! There's a section of the iron chain here that can't be cut open! "
