The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 355 The Defeat of Chibi
Jian'an 13th November

Cao Cao led his army straight down the river, and met Sun Liu's coalition army in Chibi by chance!

Standing at the bow of the ship, Cao Cao looked at the chaotic and noisy scene on the south bank of the Yangtze River. He was calm and steady, and ordered the fleet on the south bank to carry as much ground troops as possible to move closer to the fleet on the north bank.

This time, the Sun-Liu alliance is dominated by Jiangdong, the Liu Bei Group is subordinate, the person in charge of the overall situation is Sun Quan, and the specific battle commander is Zhou Yu.

Jiangdong Zhou Lang was very heroic, led his army calmly, and dispatched well. Jiangdong's soldiers and horses joined Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, assembled and stationed on the south bank in advance, waiting for work with leisure, and killed Cao Jun's ground troops as soon as they met, and the results were brilliant.

Here, on the south bank of the Yangtze River is Chibi, and on the north bank is Wulin.

The corpses of Cao soldiers were all over the ground. Sun and Liu allied forces stood by the Chibi River, looking at the north bank in the distance. You can vaguely see the hero Cao Cao standing proudly on the warship and looking at the world.

Cao Cao's military order has been conveyed, and the fleet on the south side of the Yangtze River began to move closer to the troops on the north bank, and the follow-up troops were also taken to the north bank by the corresponding ships in the upper reaches.

Looking around, there were crowds of people on the south bank of the river, and several generals riding on horseback wearing capes made Cao Cao sneer.

"The mantis arm is a car, and it is beyond its own power."

The warships approached, and the troops went down to the ground and camped on the bank of Wulin, but the nearly 30 soldiers and horses were not enough to accommodate the narrow place on the shore, so more troops camped in the woods.

Seeing Cao Jun camping calmly and orderly on the north bank, Zhou Yu let out a soft sigh.

There are many bones around, but there are still too few!
"Congratulations to the governor, the victory in the first battle, our army will be more imposing, and defeating Cao will increase the chance of winning."

On the battlefield, there was only one person with loose clothes and wide sleeves, dressed as a scholar, Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu looked at his reputation and said lightly without any complacency: "This battle can be won because our army is waiting for work at ease. Cao's army is exhausted and horses are exhausted, and there is also an outbreak of disease in the army. Moreover, our army will die if we don't fight. It's for mourning soldiers." , the battle must be won.”

The middle-aged Liu Bei stared blankly at the corpses of Cao Jun in front of him. He had fought all his life, and the person he feared the most was Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, in the desperate situation, he actually won!
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Lu Meng, Lu Fan, Ding Feng, etc. will face this small victory in front of them. Naturally, they are overjoyed and their momentum is high!
But Liu Bei looked at the scene of Cao Jun's endless warships and company battalions covering the sky, and he still had no idea, so he turned his head and asked the heroic Zhuge Liang: "Military division, how should we fight next?"

Zhuge Liang smiled confidently, glanced vaguely at Zhou Yu who was riding on a horse and watching the north bank, and said: "The governor has a plan to break Cao, my lord, don't worry."

Zhou Yu turned his eyes to Zhuge Liang, and said in a cold voice: "Three days later, it will be Cao's death!"

After all, Zhou Yu returned to the Chibi camp with a group of generals from Jiangdong.

When Liu Bei saw Zhou Yu returning to the camp, he took his soldiers back with him, but Zhuge Liang stayed by the river and looked northwest.

Darkness fell, Zhuge Liang whispered to himself.

"Cao Cao, you can't die. Guo Jia, you should be in Hangu Pass right now, planning to sweep the Central Plains."

Closing his eyes and thinking about it, Zhuge Liang calculated that it was impossible for Guo Jia to transfer Xiliang iron cavalry and all the elite under Zhang Liao's command to the south, so when the strength of soldiers and horses could not be equal to Cao Cao, it was obviously more reasonable for Guo Jia to send troops from the north, and he was undefeated place!
Children can do the simplest arithmetic problems. Guo Jia can't get 20 troops in Yizhou, while Cao Cao has 40 troops in Jingzhou, but Guo Jia can gather 30 troops in Guanzhong. Sili only has 20 soldiers. Thousands of soldiers and horses, from the south or from the north, do you still have to choose?
Turning around and walking back to the camp, a slight smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's handsome face.

Scenes of imaginary images flashed in my mind.

Cao Cao defeated Chibi, Guo Jia broke through Luoyang, Cao Cao sent his troops back to help, and fought Guo Jia to the death in the Central Plains!

Jingzhou has no master, and Liu Bei rises to the occasion!
After the decisive battle between the Guo and Cao families, there must be one side whose strength will be greatly reduced!If Guo Jia is defeated, Liu Bei will attack Yizhou! If Cao Cao is defeated, Liu Bei will enter the Central Plains!
The Yangtze River has always had a landscape of three feet of waves without wind. The cold winter is coming, and the north wind is howling.

There were not enough wooden pegs on the shore to stabilize the tethers of the warships, so Cao Cao ordered that the warships be linked together one by one with iron chains.

Three days later, midnight is approaching.

Cao Cao stood at one end of the warship and looked at the other side. Suddenly, ten large warships came down from the upper reaches of the south bank. They were Jiangdong warships.

As the cold wind blew, Cao Cao unconsciously smiled knowingly.

Huang Gai is coming!

Zhou Yu's strategy is very simple, it is fire attack!

And does Huo Gong need Dongfeng?The answer is not necessarily necessary.

On top of the ten huge warships, firewood, hay, coke, and kerosene were poured on them, and then covered with black cloth, they sailed upstream from the south bank where Chibi was located to the north bank.

Cao Cao is full of ambition and has the chance to win.

Jiangdong's warship was getting closer and closer, and it was less than half a mile away. The other party used torches to play the agreed flag, and Cao Cao almost wanted to laugh up to the sky.

Behind these ten warships, there were still many small boats. Seeing that Cao Jun had no doubts, Huang Gai immediately ordered the sails to be raised!

Because they were coming down from the upper reaches, the water propulsion, and the sails assisted, the ten warships suddenly accelerated their speed.

Standing at the stern of the boat, Huang Gai held the torch, his eyes were sharp and fierce, and after throwing the torch on the boat, he immediately ordered the soldiers to jump to the small boat behind.

boom

In the dark night, the lights of the bonfires camped on the north bank could not be compared with the soaring fires erupted by these ten huge warships!
Cao Cao stood stunned at the bow of the ship, as if ten big fireballs were rolling in, and in the blink of an eye, they collided with Cao Jun's fleet on the north bank of the Wulin River!

Screams, screams, killing sounds, and beating drums all resounded through the midnight sky at the same time!

"King Wei! It's dangerous here!"

Someone on the left and right pulled Cao Cao off the unlit warships immediately, and the fire spread rapidly, igniting the warships one by one.

On the riverside, the soldiers who were burned by the fire on the boat ran for their lives and ran into the tents on the bank, and the fire burned even further!
The scene was chaotic, with sparks flying everywhere. Not only was Cao Jun's camp on the shore ignited, but the fire even ignited the woods in Wulin in an instant. Cao Jun's screams came from the forest, and the 30 army was defeated in just a moment!

Chibi
Before Huang Gai set off, Zhou Yu ordered people to prepare large and small fast boats. When the fire broke out, the Sun Liu coalition army took the fast boats and headed straight to Wulin on the opposite bank. Zhou Yu took the lead and led the army to charge, his power was unstoppable.

Under the cover of Cao Chunlejin and Li Tong, Cao Cao fled with his troops on horseback.

Cao Cao, who was running for his life on a horse, looked back, under the night sky, the sky was covered by fire, and the screams of fighting in the sea of ​​flames made him feel the deep pain!
"Leave without shame!"

Cao Cao had seldom failed in his life, but today's defeat was not only unexpected, but also made him feel fear in his heart.

He who is running for his life in embarrassment at this moment is so similar to Yuan Benchu ​​back then! ! !
Sun and Liu's coalition forces discovered that Cao Cao was fleeing, so Zhou Yu ordered Lu Fanding and Han Dang to command [-] troops to continue killing the enemy in the burning Wulin, and he personally led [-] troops to pursue Cao Cao. All [-] soldiers and horses followed Zhou Yu to pursue Cao Cao.

There were tens of thousands of soldiers fleeing with Cao Cao at first, but some people kept falling behind as they fled westward.

Cao Cao's escape route is clear at a glance, a straight line, that is, a shortcut, going straight to Jiangling!

After escaping all night, Cao Cao looked at the path in front of him panting as dawn was approaching: Huarong Road!
With pursuers behind him, Cao Cao couldn't take the risk of taking a long detour. He took Huarong Road, which was the closest, leading directly to Jiangling. The reason why Cao Cao stopped was because the road was muddy and difficult to walk, which was caused by the rain in the past few days.

Fortunately, it is located in Huarong, and there are residential houses nearby, so Cao Cao immediately ordered people to collect fodder, and then let the soldiers start paving the road with the fodder on their backs.

Cao Cao was eager to flee for his life. After paving a road ahead, he rode forward on horseback. As a result, people rushing up from behind blocked the road, and the soldiers who paved the road died under the hoofs of their own horses.

His face was full of cold sweat, and Cao Cao's eyes were dark. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, to flee back to Jiangling first, and then regroup!

Most of the people who were burned in the Wulin fire were soldiers from Jingzhou. Of the 20 soldiers he brought south, [-] of them stayed in Jiangling and were led by Cao Ren. This defeat was the only major defeat in his life. , but what he loses, whether it is strategic materials or soldiers, will not cause injury to him.

Son of Sun Quan, Liu Bei is a thief!And that Zhou Yu!

Cao Cao was furious in his heart, bowed his head and galloped on his horse, but suddenly, Cao Chun and Le Jin, who were around Cao Cao, stopped Cao Cao's horse, and the defeated army with only a few thousand soldiers stopped again.

Huarong Road is about to come to an end, and the intersection of the small road becomes wide open.

When Cao Cao raised his head, his face turned pale with shock.

The sun rises in the east, and the morning light is slightly bright.

At the end of Huarong Road, a dark army blocked the entrance. Due to the dim vision, it was difficult to see whose soldiers and horses were on the other side.

Cao Cao fell into an ice cellar.

His eyes widened suddenly, beyond shock.

The sun was shining brightly, and the rising red sun brought light to the heaven and earth, like a dividing line between day and night, and the dim scene in front of Cao Cao was gradually brightening.

The bright line gradually spread from Cao Cao's side, as if devouring the darkness.

The light moved away and just reflected on the army blocking the crossing.

There was a person riding a horse in front of the formation, and the light illuminated, slowly reflecting his appearance.

The war horse under the crotch seemed to let out a roar irritably because of the alternation of darkness and light.

Silver light armor, with a sword on his waist, the man is not very powerful, his waist is stiff, and his head is held high.

A calm and indifferent face, gentle and handsome, but with an extremely stern expression.

Cao Cao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but under the light, the big banner of soldiers and horses was fluttering in the wind, and the word "Guo" fluttering around made him heartbroken!

A pair of pupils shone fiercely, and Guo Jia suddenly stared at Cao Cao with a ferocious expression.

Behind him, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Guo Ye, Zhang Ren, Deng Zhi, and Zhang Yan rode side by side. Zhang Yan waved his hand, and the soldiers stepped forward in an orderly manner, making a loud noise. cheers.

Its orderly array of crossbows aimed at Cao Jun!
