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

Chapter 253 It’s Time to Make a Contribution
It’s okay to feel emotional, but when you hear it, you’re surrounded by it.

There was a constant sound of arrows hitting the sides and decks of the ship.

Lu Su couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

How could I have the mood to drink at this moment?
At this time, the enemy fired thousands of arrows.

The arrow rack on one side of the boat was almost full.

The whole boat began to tilt.

Zhuge Liang was neither hasty nor slow, and ordered his men to turn the bow of the boat around.

Continue to receive arrows with the other side.

Lu Su was sweating profusely after watching this, but he couldn't help but admire him.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A large patch of red rose into the sky.

Mixed with the sound of whistling wind, it covered the entire surface of the river.

At this moment, even Zhuge Liang's wine glass was reflecting the fiery red light.

Zhuge Liang's face suddenly changed when he saw this!
"This! Why are the enemy launching rockets?!"

Lu Su was also shocked at once.

"Oh no! Quick! Put out the fire!"

Both of them were panicked at this time!
But when I looked up, I saw countless rockets.

It flew over from Cao’s water stronghold.

Forming a fiery red barrier in the sky.

It fell towards the straw boat where they were.

In an instant, all the straw boats were on fire.

Many of Zhuge Liang's straw boats were in the process of turning around.

The hull began to tilt severely again.

In the panic, several ships capsized immediately!

Suddenly, a raging fire broke out on the river!

The cabin and deck immediately caught fire.

Even the straw man quickly burned up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, some soldiers who were beating drums in the cabin wanted to jump off the boat to escape.

But as soon as he stuck his head out, he was hit by a dense swarm of rockets.

Nailed firmly to the deck.

This time, Zhuge Liang was even more panicked than Lu Su.

Because this was not in his plan at all!

But things are changing so fast.

Before he could react, the fire had already reached them!
It is too late to save the situation now, there is no way to remedy the situation.

Seeing this, Lu Su was so angry that he shouted!

"Kong Ming! Why didn't you soak the straw man in water beforehand?"

"Isn't it possible to resist rockets?!"

"Tonight won't be a failure!"

Zhuge Liang's beard was burned by the fire, and he said in a lost voice:

"It's been soaked a long time ago, but the enemy's rockets are fierce."

"Even the soaked straw caught fire!"

When Lu Su heard this, he was about to say a few more words, but he was choked and started coughing.

He couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice:

"So what should I do now?"

"You call yourself Crouching Dragon, but do you think you will fail sometimes?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said loudly:
"Stop talking! Look at the enemy's offensive."

"The rocket penetrated the hull instantly. It was obvious that they had been prepared!"

"Could it be that someone has already seen through my plan?!"

"How dare you shoot me with a rocket?"

Just then, the opponent's offensive finally slowed down.

Lu Su quickly pulled Zhuge Liang up and said:

"Don't even think about it. At this point, what is there to be afraid of?!"

"The cabin is on fire now. I have no choice but to jump into the water to escape!"

"If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

After saying that, he forcibly pulled Zhuge Liang.

Jump off the burning straw boat.

Plunge into the icy river water.

As a native of Jiangdong, Lu Su is naturally familiar with water.

But as soon as Zhuge Liang jumped in, he struggled desperately in the turbulent river.

I even took several sips of water.

Until he finally grabbed a piece of driftwood.

He barely managed to save his life and drifted to the south bank.

Looking back at this time, we saw the thirty straw boats that had originally come together.

At this time, the foggy river surface was already burning!
Soon, they sank to the bottom of the river.

In the Xiakou Water Village across the street, however, a deafening laugh broke out.

Zhuge Liang was holding onto a piece of driftwood at this time.

He was shivering from the cold like a drowned dog.

At this time, laughter was heard from the other side.

He couldn't help but lose consciousness for a while, and said in a daze:
"How could the enemy see through my plan?"

"Could it be Sima Renda's doing again?!"

Lu Su also swam over and pulled Zhuge Liang, saying:

"What Sima or not Sima!"

"You and I need to leave this place quickly. It's important to escape!"

"Otherwise there would be no enemy ships chasing us."

"We will all freeze to death in the river!"

Zhuge Liang shuddered when he heard this.

He suddenly came to his senses and quickly followed Lu Su in fluttering his wings.

Try your best to float towards the camp on the south bank.

Soon, the gate of Xiakou Water Fort opened wide.

Some warships and small boats also rushed out.

The soldiers continued to search for corpses near the wreckage of the straw boat.

The dead were burned to ashes.

Those who were alive were captured as prisoners.

Zhang Liao was also very proud of this and couldn't help laughing:
"The enemy used thirty straw boats to create a mysterious presence in the fog."

"They want to use a feint to the east and attack in the west to rob our other water stronghold."

"Now that we have discovered it, we will destroy it with rockets."

"How wonderful! How wonderful! Hahaha!"

The soldiers present also suffered several losses at the hands of the enemy.

Now that they have successfully won the game, everyone is very happy!

A group of people boasted to Zhang Liao.

"General, you are wise! Our army will win!"

At this time, Gan Ning stood quietly aside, hiding his achievements and fame.

Looking at the flickering flames on the river, he raised his head and gazed at the camp on the opposite bank.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

The victory in this battle greatly boosted the morale of the troops in Xiakou Water Fort.

All the soldiers requested to go into battle, hoping to take advantage of the victory and counterattack the opponent.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Liao refused out of caution.

"It's foggy at this time, and the situation on the river is complicated."

"It is difficult for our army to defeat the enemy in naval battles."

"It is not advisable to launch a rash counterattack. We can just wait and see what happens."

At this moment, Gan Ning, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up.

But he stood up and said:
"I think the enemy's plan has been defeated."

"The morale on the other side must have been greatly weakened."

"This is how Zhou Yu boosted morale."

"They will continue to send troops to harass us!"

"We can do the opposite and send a surprise force to launch a surprise attack from behind."

"If we can break into Jiangdong's camp, we can decide the outcome in one battle!"

Zhang Liao also frowned when he heard this.

At this moment, I also felt that what Gan Ning said made sense.

Zhang Liao didn't know the kind of people who would hide and protect themselves!

Now that the battle has broken the situation, we should press on to seize the opportunity.

The only problem is that I am not familiar with water battles.

Otherwise, he would have led his troops across the river to attack!
Thinking of this, he asked the question even though he knew the answer.

He looked at Gan Ning and said, "Xingba's words make sense."

"But I don't know who can go to the other side to launch a surprise attack?"

Upon hearing this, Gan Ning immediately volunteered, "I am willing to go!"

"I only ask the general to give me five hundred men!"

"Whether it is success or failure, I will bear it alone!"

When everyone present heard this, they all looked sideways!
Zhang Liao was also somewhat surprised when he heard this:

"Are you really sure of your ability with only 500 people?"

"Hahaha!" Gan Ning also laughed out loud immediately!
"General, you don't know that in the past, Liu Biao was incompetent and the nobles were rampant."

"I have no choice but to become a bandit on the river."

"Over time, I have become familiar with the water system in Jingzhou."

"Now is the time to serve the court and make achievements!"
