The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 251 The Enemy's Night Attack Is a Trick
By the third day, the river was covered with thick fog.

Lu Su came to Zhuge Liang's tent again.

Zhuge Liang was seen standing facing the river with a feather fan and a blue scarf.

Normally, when he behaves like this, it means things are beginning to be unexpected.

Lu Su knew in his heart that this kid was preparing to cause trouble again.

He asked tentatively, "Kong Ming, have you finished making that arrow?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's already built."

He has the demeanor of a master, so cool and elegant.

Lu Su was even more confused when he saw this, and asked quickly:

"Now that it's built, where do you put the arrows?"

Zhuge Liang, however, had a mysterious look on his face and took Lu Su's hand.

He asked, "Zi Jing, are you interested in going with me to get the arrows?"

Lu Su frowned when he heard this, but he was originally sent to monitor Kong Ming.

I was just about to see what kind of medicine he was selling.

Now that Kong Ming has invited me, how can I not go?

Then he followed Zhuge Liang to the riverside.

There were thirty small boats covered with scarecrows.

Several soldiers placed war drums in the cabin.

There were only a few people on the boat.

When I was wondering, Zhuge Liang said:
"Zijing, please get on board."

When Lu Su heard this, he followed Zhuge Liang to the boat with half belief and half doubt.

The soldiers pushed the boat with the poles and it began to float into the river.
On the other hand, due to the defeat in the last first battle.

Yu Jin also began to shrink the Yangtze River defense line.

In addition, Zhou Yu on the other side of the strait sent people to harass from time to time.

Here, orders were also issued to all water forts to guard against the enemy strictly and not to venture out.

Only during the day did they intensify their training of the soldiers.

Wait until the right time to counterattack.

So at night, Xiakou Water Fort was still brightly lit.

All I saw were teams of patrolling soldiers, patrolling near the village gate.

The sentries at various locations dared not slack off in the slightest.

On the other side, Zhuge Liang's fleet was approaching the water fort.

And the speed was getting faster and faster, and in a short while it was already several hundred steps away.

When Lu Su saw this situation, his face suddenly changed.

He hurriedly asked, "Kong Ming, this place is less than three miles away from the enemy's water fort!"

"We only brought thirty small boats and less than a hundred soldiers!"

"If the enemy knew we were coming to launch a surprise attack."

"They will definitely do their best to surround and kill us!"

"I'm afraid you and I will die here!"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said:

"Don't panic, Zijing. I'll bring Zijing with me this time."

"Of course I am sure I can get out of this safely."

"Zi Jing, just sit still and relax."

“Everything is as planned.”

"Besides, our target is not the enemy's water fort."

When Lu Su heard this, he couldn't help but feel confused.

But after thinking about it, he felt that Zhuge Liang would not bring him here to die for no reason.

Then he nodded.
Afterwards he said no more and drank his wine with an anxious look on his face.

At this moment, the soldiers entered the cabin to report.

The ships have arrived near the enemy's water stronghold.

Zhuge Liang just smiled and waved his hand:
"Spin the bow, beat the drum to cheer!"

"Yes!" The soldier immediately took the order.

Then the boat suddenly tilted forward and then flipped over.

Then go directly to the side water fort!
When Lu Su saw this, his face changed immediately!
On the other side, in Xiakou Water Village.

Gan Ning was leading his personal guards to inspect the camp.

At this moment, I heard the sound on the river.

The drums beat loudly and the shouts were deafening.

This made Gan Ning's heart skip a beat and he became a little nervous.

I didn’t expect that what Sima Military Advisor said was right!

The enemy started a night attack on the camp so soon?
Thinking of this, he was eager to try it!

He hurriedly ordered his soldiers to prepare arrows and kerosene.
Little did he know that this time he would have a head-on confrontation with Zhuge Liang!

At this time, Zhang Liao rushed over from Xiling City to take charge of Xiakou.

When he heard the clamor outside, he couldn't help but ask:
"What's going on? Are the enemies attacking?" Soon, a soldier entered the tent.

He reported to Zhang Liao:
"General, there are enemy warships approaching our water fort!"

"But it's hard to see clearly in the fog tonight. I don't know how many troops are coming."

Zhang Liao pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said:

"Since we can't tell the real situation, I'm afraid it's a strategy of the enemy to lure us in."

"Our troops must not leave the water stronghold."

"Order Gan Ning to shoot them with his bow and crossbow to prevent them from getting close."

"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and went out.

But he had just given the order and was still a little worried.

Xiakou is now the Jiangxia front line.

Wulin is now where Yu Jin’s main navy is stationed.

They formed a pincer attack against the enemy on the other side.

And tonight the enemy suddenly attacked.

It is possible that he wants to take down their camp in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but get up and walk out of the tent and come to the gate of the water fort.

When we arrived at the place, we saw thick fog on the river and visibility was less than 50 steps.

And in the fog, warships were vaguely visible.

The sound of drums on the river was deafening and the shouts continued.

On the other side of the water fort, Gan Ning was commanding by the river.

The soldiers under his command are well-trained and their movements are in unison.

After the archers opened the bundles of arrows.

They were all wrapped in kerosene and prepared to shoot into the river.

They were arranged in several rows on the camp wall of the water fort.

Under the orders of the military commander, everything is ready.

At this moment, Gan Ning saw Zhang Liao coming to the camp gate in person, and hurried to greet him.

Zhang Liao also asked hurriedly when he saw this:

"Xingba, what's the situation ahead?"

"And you are here again."

Gan Ning answered truthfully upon hearing this:
"General, the enemy took advantage of the fog tonight to raid our camp."

"Now there is only clamor, but no enemy troops are coming to attack."

"It can be seen that there is a trick!"

Looking at Gan Ning's smiling face.

Zhang Liao also said with surprise:

"There's a trick? What do you mean?"

Gan Ning smiled and nodded upon hearing this, saying:

"There is heavy fog on the river now, and it is hard to tell what is going on in the fog."

"But according to the report from the spies just now."

"The enemy's warships have very little draft and are mostly small boats."

"My enemy has a drummer hidden in the cabin this time."

"I came here on purpose to beat the drum and shout."

"But our army is hard to control if we only shoot them with bows and crossbows."

"I'm afraid we'll fall into the enemy's trap."

Zhang Liao was also somewhat surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

On the side, Deputy General Wang Wei was stunned after hearing this.

If Gan Ning said so, then the enemy army was simply here to make fun of them!

Being so arrogant is really going too far!

Gan Ning nodded at this time and continued:

"It is said that Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's military advisor."

"Now we are in the enemy camp."

"This person's strategies are always unexpected."

"The enemy attacked late at night this time, but I don't know if it was his doing?"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he also took a breath of cold air!
"I have also heard of Zhuge Kongming's talent!"

"In the previous battle of Xinye, Xiahou Miao only had 50,000 troops."

"They all died at the hands of this man!"

"This shows how brilliant Zhuge Liang's strategy was."

"Even the Prime Minister said that his scheme was cunning and interconnected."

"If that's the case, the enemy must have a backup plan when they come here tonight!"

"I don't know if he wants to make a feint to the east and attack the west, and then launch a surprise attack on Wulin."

"Or are you here to disrupt our view? You have other intentions."
