Chapter 270: The Arsonist Old Huang Gai

On the other side, the Jiangdong vanguard fleet was heading towards Wulin Port.

With the help of the east wind, the ship went faster.

Huang Gai was sitting on the boat at this time, even though he was a veteran who had experienced many battles.

At this time, I was a little nervous.

After all, if he succeeds tonight, he will surely be famous forever!

But if they lose, Jiangdong will definitely suffer heavy losses!

The Grand Commander is gambling on the future of Jiangdong!

The ship sailed very quickly and reached the halfway point in just a few moments.

There were already faint lights ahead.

At this time, the stars are low and the river is mighty.

Wulin Port, the Jiangxia water fortress, stands on the bank of the river.

At this time, hundreds of soldiers were on duty on the city wall, patrolling back and forth.

Not long ago, Yu Jin led the Jingzhou navy to Jiangxia.

Soldiers, military personnel and civilians in all counties of Jiangxia felt an unprecedented sense of security.

After all, Prime Minister Cao now spans the East and the West.

The Han Dynasty occupied nine of the thirteen provinces and had the potential to crush all the heroes in the world.

A few years ago, when the Jiangdong navy invaded, the Jingzhou navy could only defend itself.

Now that the two armies are facing each other, the Jingzhou navy is able to hold its own.

He also defeated Zhou Yu with ease and prevented him from making any progress.

But as for the reason, any ordinary person can understand it with just a little thought.

In the past, the Jiangdong navy faced the kind-hearted Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng.

Since the death of Huang Zu, a general under his command.

It is even more difficult to find a general in Jingzhou who can compete with Zhou Yu.

But the one who controls Jiangxia now is sweeping across the world.

Prime Minister Cao has the ambition to unify the world!

And under his command were generals such as Yu Jin and Zhang Liao who were stationed in Jingzhou.

He is a famous northern general who has experienced many battles.

Everyone knows this.

In the past, Jiangdong dared to provoke the old lord Liu Biao. Now that Prime Minister Cao is in charge, do they still dare to move?
The vast majority of people in Jiangxia have this thought.

At this time, General Yu was highly expected by the Jiangxia military and civilians.

At this time, he was sitting in Wulin Port and waiting for the opportunity.

Soon, twenty ships appeared.

There was a green ivory flag hanging on the boat with four big characters "Xianfeng Huang Gai" written on it.

Yu Jin, who was resting with his eyes closed at this time, heard a soldier report that the general Huang Gai from the other side had come to surrender.

He immediately stood up with his eyes wide open.

He left the camp with a group of officers and soldiers around him.

Looking at the small boat on the river.

Yu Jin, who had been prepared, also had a smile on his face at this time.

He turned his head and looked at Liu Ba and others standing beside him.

"I think the leader must be the old Jiangdong general Huang Gai!"

"As the saying goes, take care of things as they come."

"Do you dare to go with me to meet him?"

When everyone present heard this, they all burst into laughter.

As early as a quarter of an hour ago, Yu Jin had already informed everyone of Huang Gai's false surrender.

At this time, I heard Yu Jin joking like this.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

What is there to be afraid of for an old man?

What’s more, he is an old man whose true identity has been exposed!

At this time, Huang Gai's ships were waiting in the distance.

Looking at the Cao army’s ships filled with soldiers.

All of the ten had already taken a dose of medicine before taking the shot.

Each of them held a bow and arrow in their hands, pointing them at the surrendered soldiers.

The boats under their feet were like swaying fallen leaves.

Swaying back and forth on the river.

This situation is quite tense.

"Let them come over."

At this time, a voice came from high above the village gate.

Soon, the soldiers who received the order also put away their bows and arrows. Huang Gai stood on the boat with an extremely calm expression.

He said nothing at this time but kept observing everything in Cao's camp.

This is the ultimate expression of calmness.

This is also his military quality as a veteran of the battlefield.

And a personal soldier was standing beside him at this time.

There was a hint of nervousness on his face.

After all, Cao's ships were very close at this time.

As expected, the other side did not see through their false surrender.

As long as they take action now, they can light the fire on the boat.

Then this fire will surely engulf the entire enemy camp!
And there were at least a thousand ships present.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of people there.

These hundreds of thousands of enemy troops will all die at the hands of their Jiangdong troops tonight!
Thinking of this, the soldier lowered his voice and said:
"General, the Cao army ahead has let down its guard."

"Should we?"

Huang Gai heard this and looked at the lights of the camp not far away.

At this moment, his expression was somewhat hesitant.

For some reason, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"General! The opportunity is fleeting!"

At this time, the personal soldiers around him reminded him.

Huang Gai reacted immediately after hearing this.

He immediately took a deep breath.

Right! At this moment, he no longer had time to think about what was wrong.

No one in Cao's army saw through the commander-in-chief's plan.

Now a great opportunity is right in front of me.

How could we allow him to hesitate any longer?
He smuggled here with this boat full of kerosene.

Just get a little closer, set fire and rush over!

The fire will be driven by the wind and burn the entire Cao army camp!
The Grand Admiral must have already led the fleet and made preparations in the rear.

As soon as I take action, I see the signal that the fire has started.

Our warships will come over!

By then, burning hundreds of thousands of enemy troops will surely shock the world!
If he leads his troops from Jiangdong to Jingxiang, he will be able to accomplish unprecedented feats!
Thinking of this, Huang Gai waved his hand fiercely and said:
"Advance immediately and ferry into the camp!"

He no longer cares about that.

If we delay any longer, it will be bad if Cao’s army in front reacts!

Must seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Yes!" All the soldiers heard Huang Gai's order.

They took a deep breath and rowed hard towards Cao's camp.

And at the moment when their fleet entered Cao’s water stronghold.

Huang Gai also suddenly shouted:
"Ignite! Keep going!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers around him put down the oars in their hands.

One by one they stood up and set fire to the oil drums on the ship.

And the moment when flames started burning on Huang Gai's ship.

All the ships around him began to burn.

The flame burned on the straw and on the kerosene, and the flame rose rapidly.

Then, the raging flames, accompanied by the east wind, rushed towards the camp!

The blazing flames exploded at this moment.

Dozens of fireboats were lined up on the river.

Like a long fire dragon, it crashed into the camp.

Just like red lotuses blooming in the world.

Determined to send Cao's army into hell!
The Cao army was originally waiting to lure the enemy into a trap.

Seeing Huang Gai's unstoppable posture at this moment, he was suddenly shocked!

"What? How can there be an east wind?!"

"Yes! It was clearly a northwest wind just now!"

Feel the change in wind direction at this moment.

Everyone reacted immediately!

Even Yu Jin was shocked at this time!
But the east wind was strong at that time and he had no chance to give the order to intercept.

The fireboats led by Huang Gai instantly crashed into the camp.

All of a sudden, kerosene splashed all over the ship, setting all the large ships it encountered on fire.

Even on the water surface, flames appeared.

In an instant, the entire village gate was burned red.
