However, the soldier who had just shouted jumped into the water.
Upon closer inspection, the chain had already been cut off!
It was a Jiangdong spy!
Due to the spy's shout, the two guards' attention was diverted. Pang Tong saw the opportunity and immediately struggled to break free from the two guards and jumped toward the river.
Cao Ren, who was closest to Pang Tong, immediately drew his broadsword and slashed at him.
However, due to Pang Tong's short and nimble body, although the broadsword cut into his back, it did not kill him. Pang Tong still jumped into the river and disappeared in a short while.
"Prime Minister …"
Cao Ren was somewhat helpless. Most of his soldiers did not know how to swim. Once Pang Tong jumped into the water, no one was confident that they could catch him in the river.
"Don't worry about it. Quickly pass down the order. The fleet should quickly disperse and try to avoid the ships with fire."
"Archers, aim at the small boats. Once you see a figure, immediately shoot!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and shouted in a low voice.
"Yes, sir!"
At this time, the outline of the small boats with fire could clearly be seen. Cao Ren did not dare to delay and quickly waved his flag to give the order.
In an instant, the large boats immediately dispersed and were no longer tightly shut.
When the chain was broken, Cao Cao and the others immediately felt the rapid flow of the river. For a moment, they lost their balance and almost fell to the ground.
The soldiers at the side were not used to it and immediately vomited by the river.
"Prime Minister, be careful!"
Cao Ren hurriedly supported Cao Cao. Cao Cao struggled to walk into the room.
After a while, the boats slowly stabilized.
Cao Ren saw that the small boats that had not yet approached the window were shot down or brushed past the warships. He hurriedly wiped the sweat off his forehead and said,
"Prime Minister, it's all thanks to Mr Bai's plan!"
"Otherwise, when the fire came, with the east wind, our army would have nowhere to hide!"
Cao Cao nodded and said,
"Sir did not deceive me!"
"Cao Ren, most of the boats have been sunk by now. Just do as Sir says and go."
Cao Ren understood and hurriedly walked to the deck with a few guards. He shouted, "Brother,
"Where is the rumor that Duke of Zhou is unrivalled in battle? Not only did you lose your soldiers, but you also lost your young phoenix! "
When the other soldiers saw this, they quickly followed Cao Ren and shouted towards the river.
At this time, the Cao Army's warship was not far from the other side of the river. Gradually, Zhou Yu heard their voices.
Zhou Yu also saw with his own eyes that the Cao Army had loosened their chains and scattered in all directions, successfully avoiding the fire ships.
Originally, victory was within his grasp, but this sudden turn of events caused the conceited Zhou Yu to be extremely anxious.
At this time, the Cao Army shouted in front of the Jiangdong elders and soldiers.
Zhou Yu immediately lost his balance and sat down on the boat.
The guards at the side hurriedly came to support him. Cheng Pu also hurried over.
"Commander-in-chief … Commander-in-chief, please calm down!"
Zhou Yu pointed in the direction of the Cao Army and said weakly, "That's right.
Fire the arrows! "
"Don't let the Cao Army even take half a step into our Jiangdong territory!"
After saying this, Zhou Yu's head tilted and he fainted.
Cheng Pu saw that Zhou Yu was anxious and quickly reached out to check. Luckily, he was still breathing.
When Huang Gai saw this, he immediately gave the order. The Jiangdong archers all shot towards Cao Cao's warship.
For a moment, a rain of arrows filled the sky.
At this time, in Jingzhou.
Right now, the Cao Army had already left Bai Feng's line of sight. Although he could see the faint light of the fire, he couldn't see the situation at all.
At this time, the battle report hadn't arrived yet. Bai Feng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Although he had repeatedly given orders, there were many variables on the battlefield. No one could say for sure what would happen.
Moreover, he had made an unwarranted prediction. If Cao Cao suddenly became suspicious …
However, when it came to Cao Cao's trust, the system wouldn't lie to him. It shouldn't make a mistake at this stage.
The problem was the nobles in front of him.
Right now, the battle was in full swing, but these nobles were all talking about him.
Although their voices were very soft, Bai Feng could still hear the gist of it.
However, these nobles didn't know where to start attacking him. They were all saying that he was a merchant.
Bai Feng wasn't angry. He just felt that it was ridiculous.
These nobles were getting paid all day, but they were doing everything they could to slander him. They couldn't wait for the Prime Minister to take care of him.
When Cao Chun, Xun Yu, and the others saw that Bai Feng didn't say anything, they also didn't say anything.
Right now, all the Cao Army soldiers in Jingzhou were unsure.
At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly ran in with the battle report in his hand.
"Zhongde! How's the battle going? "
Xun Yu quickly asked.
Cheng Yu couldn't hide the joy on his face. He laughed and said,
"The Prime Minister sent a battle report. Just as Mr. Bai expected, our army has perfectly avoided Jiangdong's fire ships. Victory is in our hands!"
Bai Feng was calm. He nodded and didn't say anything.
The nobles below looked a little upset. They looked at each other in dismay.
"Our army has won. Why are you all so gloomy?"
"Do you all want Jiangdong to defeat our army?!"
Cao Chun couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and looked at the nobles coldly.
Although the nobles weren't afraid of Cao Chun, they couldn't bear this kind of accusation. They quickly waved their hands and said,
"It's just that it's too sudden. We weren't mentally prepared. Our army has won. Why wouldn't we be happy?"
Then, there was a burst of laughter.
Cao Chun sighed and said,
"Mr. Bai, these nobles … Sigh, please don't take it to heart."
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
These nobles were difficult to deal with, but they didn't make him worry.
Right now, Bai Feng was thinking about one person.
That person was Crouching Dragon — — Zhuge Liang!
Although Jiangdong's morale had been greatly reduced, the battle had just begun. Although they had avoided the fire attack, the elite navy would still fight to the death.
Most of the Cao Army's soldiers were improvised. Compared to the Jiangdong navy, their naval experience was nothing.
This battle wouldn't end quickly.
Even if the Cao Army came ashore, if Sun Quan had the backbone to make the people of Jiangdong panic and fight to the death, then the retaking of Jiangdong would be greatly hindered.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang had already left the encirclement on the road from Jiangxia to Jiangdong, but he still hadn't made a move.
What was Zhuge Liang waiting for?
From what Bai Feng knew of Zhuge Liang, he wasn't the kind of person who would wait and reap the benefits. Since he hadn't made a move yet, there was only one possibility.
He was waiting.
But what exactly he was waiting for, Bai Feng didn't know.
After all, he had changed history. He was facing the resourceful Zhuge Liang. What would his next move be? Would it be a surprise attack?
All of this was unknown to Bai Feng.
This was what Bai Feng was worried about.
Even if the Cao Army lost, it wouldn't threaten his life.
