In the big tent, the shouting of battle immediately fell silent, but everyone's eyes turned to the man in the corner, as if they were a little surprised and dissatisfied with the young man who was singing the opposite.
Cheng Pu glanced up and recognized that the person who spoke was Lu Su, so he put on a shelf of old qualifications, and said with some disdain: "Lu Zijing, you said that our army should not fight, what is the reason?"
Lu Su bowed his hand slightly, and said calmly: "The pottery thief has always been treacherous with soldiers, and there are many strange people hidden under his command, Wu Zixu is the best example, this time he dared to lead the sailor to come, and it is likely that he secretly promoted some powerful sailor, we must not despise it." ” Lu Su praised the potter in front of the generals, and the generals were displeased when they heard him praise the enemy so much, and Cheng Pu's brows were slightly condensed.
He asked, "What should our army do, then, in your opinion?"
” Lu Su said unhurriedly: "The king's order is to let me wait to hold Hanjin, block the Wei army from going south, and buy enough time for the king to capture Xiakou. ” Lu Su said something and expressed his judgment, but it provoked Jiang Qin and other generals, and they all sneered.
Jiang Qin immediately snorted disdainfully, "The previous Chibi was defeated, our army was defeated by the contingency of the weather, and now the pottery thieves are coming to challenge our navy again, this is a great opportunity for us to return to dignity and prove that our Great Wu Naval Army is invincible in the Han River, but Lu Zijing wants us to be shrinking turtles and stick to not fighting, which will inevitably damage the prestige of my Great Wu." ” Hearing Jiang Qin's words, the rest of the Wu generals also nodded, all sarcastically mocking Lu Su for being timid.
Facing Jiang Ci's ridicule, Lu Su frowned and said: "Over the years, how many people have been defeated because of their contempt for pottery thieves, don't you still learn a lesson?"
Jiang Qin was ridiculed, annoyed in his heart, and opened his mouth to scold Lu Su, but Cheng Pu coughed and drank him off.
Drinking Jiang Qin, Cheng Pu said proudly: "Although what Zijing said is reasonable, it is too conservative, water warfare is the advantage of our army, since we are sure of winning and reinvigorating the prestige of our army, we should go out to attack, even if we want to defend, we must defend it to foolproof after defeating the enemy's naval army." ” Cheng Pu's words were obviously decided to fight, the main general had already decided, and Lu Su couldn't say more, so he had to shake his head secretly and say no more.
Cheng Pu took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said resolutely: "In the previous battle of Chibi, the pottery thief won by luck, today is a great opportunity for our army to fight a shameful battle, so you should take the initiative to attack with this general, and fight tomorrow, let the pottery thief know who is the real master of this big man."
In the big tent, Jiang Qin and other Wu generals were suddenly enthusiastic, all of them were gearing up and excited, and they didn't take the 5,000 sailors of the Wei army in their eyes at all.
In Lu Su's eyes, a bit of gloom quietly flashed.
The next day, the sky was bright, the wind came from the west, blowing away the river fog, and the banks of the Han River were clearly visible.
On the Han River, more than 200 warships, taking advantage of the trend of the river, sailed towards the south.
On that huge fighting ship, the big banner of the word "horse" flew in the wind.
The general, standing quietly under the battle flag, stared in the direction of the downstream, his eyes flowing with fierce confidence.
When the warship was going downstream, at the same time, on the east bank of the Han River, a division of thousands of Wei iron cavalry was also along the water's bank, parallel to the fleet in the water The potter stood tall on his horse, his eagle eyes passed through the big man, and his eyes looked at his own fleet on the river, and his eyes were also the confidence of the king.
In front, a cavalry scout galloped over and shouted, "Your Majesty, Cheng Pu's sailors have sailed out of the Hanjin camp and are coming upstream, less than fifteen miles away from our army. ” Cheng Pu really went to war.
A sneer rose at the corner of the potter's mouth, and his eyes looked at Zhang Liang on the side, "Zifang, it seems that Cheng Pu really thinks that this is a great opportunity to prove that he is invincible in the Wu people's water war, and if Allah moves to meet it." ” Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, pointing to the river, "Today, our army still has a little tailwind, and the enemy has been lured out, and next, it depends on the strength of our general Ma's water warfare." ” The potter smiled slightly, and his gaze continued to look at the river.
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.
On the Han River in the southeast, countless cloud sails finally rose, and the Wu army fleet, which was going upstream, entered the field of vision.
The potter reined in his horse, stationed his horse on the shore, stared at his own fleet on the river, and whispered: "Horse aid, horse aid, don't disappoint this king." ” The summoned sailor was the heroic soul of Ma Yuan, the general of the Han Dynasty.
Ma Yuan is the founding general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he is the famous general of Han Fubo, not only the Han Dynasty, but also the entire ancient and modern times.
Although this person was born in the Guanzhong clan, he once led a large army to conquer South Vietnam, and the land of South Vietnam was not only mountainous, but also watery, and Ma Yuan was also proficient in water warfare.
The potter secretly summoned this famous general who was proficient in water and land warfare, just for today's battle.
Sure enough, on the Han River, Ma Yuan reacted quickly and ordered the huge raft hidden behind the ship to be quickly towed to the front of the fleet.
In a moment, as many as thousands of huge rafts, the vast expanse, actually covered almost the entire surface of the river.
On the flagship fighting ship, Ma Yuan looked down at the spectacular scene of the thousand rafts paving the river, and a sneer passed the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "Today, it is the time for my Ma Yuan to become famous in the first war."
His mind was retracted, Ma Yuan raised the big gun in his hand, and shouted: "Shake the letter flag and set fire to the raft" Above the flagship, the letter flag immediately shook like the wind.
In front of the fleet, on the thousands of huge bamboo rafts, there were straw men, filled with grease and other flammable materials, and when the fire started, it burned in a blink of an eye.
Once the bamboo raft caught fire, Ma Yuan ordered the rope to be untied and let the flaming bamboo raft float down the river to the south.
Thousands of fire rafts traveled southward, covering almost half of the Han River on the flames.
Looking down from the sky, there seems to be a huge fire mirror, stretching across both sides of the Han River, slowly rolling downstream by virtue of the downstream trend.
Downstream of the Han River, five miles away.
At this moment, Wu's navy is coming against the current, 300 warships are spread on the river, the fighting ships and the ships are distributed in an orderly manner, and there are boats to and fro to contact the ships, and the formation is orderly.
In the center of the fleet, a huge building ship inhabited the array, a total of five stories high above and below, like a behemoth on the water, terrifying.
On the ship, the banner of the word "Cheng" is flying violently.
Under the banner, Cheng Pu stood with his knife, caressing his long beard, and staring at the water in front of him with a cold gaze like a mountain.
At the end of the Han River, which was like a jade belt, I saw a faint cluster of cloud sails appearing between the lines of heaven and water.
The Wei Army's sailors really killed.
Soon, the patrol ships that were ahead of the fleet brought back the latest information, saying that there were 5,000 naval troops upstream, more than 200 warships, and the flagship was flying the "horse" handsome flag.
At the same time, the cavalry of the Wei army was also found on the east bank of the Han River, carrying the banner of the king with the word "Wei", which should be the potter himself.
"The pottery thief really sent the newly promoted disciple who pretended to be an ancient, hmph, and dared to pretend to be the name of General Fubo, I think you have some ability" The corners of Cheng Pu's mouth fluttered a little proudly, and he immediately ordered all ships to keep a distance and not get too close to each other, and ordered some fire-resisting ships equipped with poles to sail forward to prevent the enemy from setting fire down the river.
The waters of the Han River are not as wide as the Yangtze River, and the distance between the two sides of the river is not wide, and it does not use large-scale deployment of fleets, and if the formation of the fleet is too dense, once the enemy forces upstream lay down their fireships, it will be very difficult for the ships downstream to evade.
Cheng Pu was good at water warfare, so he naturally knew this, so he ordered the ships to distance themselves from each other, and at the same time ordered the ships to come forward to prevent the Wei army from setting fire downstream.

For this set of naval tactics, Cheng Pu can be said to be familiar with the road, he believes that as soon as the fire-resisting ship comes out, the horse aid will be helpless, and then, he can meet a shameful victory.
On the ship, the flag waved like the wind.
The order was passed down, the ships moved according to the order, and the entire fleet continued to go upstream, not more than a few miles, and upstream, the figure of the Wei warship gradually became clear.
Suddenly, a flash of fire flashed in Cheng Pu's field of vision, and he saw torches on the Wei army's ship.
"This horse aid, really want to set fire to the boat, hum, carving insect skills, you are too underestimated to be a general" Cheng Pu sneered, everything was expected by him.
Cheng Pu immediately gave the order, ordered the fire-resisting ships in front to prepare to intercept the enemy's fireships, and ordered all ships to be ready to avoid the fireships going down the river at any time.
In front of the field of vision, flames erupted, and in a moment, the front line of the water in front of it was already full of fire, and the tongues of fire were rapidly approaching downstream.
Cheng Pu held the sword in his hand, his face was calm, his face was still confident and proud, and he didn't pay any attention to the fireship that pounced.
Behind Cheng Pu, Lu Su has always remained calm, and Lu Su, who was concentrating on observing the enemy's situation, gradually frowned suspiciously.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered, as if he had seen something fearful, and his body shook suddenly.
He hurriedly stepped forward, arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "General Cheng, this horse aid has a trick, our army should withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise a catastrophe will come." ” As soon as Lu Su's words came out, on the deck, the Wei soldiers who were in full morale were all shocked and looked at him one by one.
Cheng Pu's brows were also furrowed, he turned his head sharply, and glared at Lu Su fiercely, his expression was obviously a little stunned, the battle between the two armies was imminent, but Lu Su said such words that shook the hearts of the army, how could he not be angry.
"Lu Zijing, how dare you" "Old general, look" Lu Su interrupted his rebuke, pointed to the fire upstream and said: "The Wei army is not a fireboat, it is a fire-burning bamboo raft, and it covers a very wide river.
When Cheng Pu heard this shock, he suddenly sobered up a little, turned around in a hurry, and looked carefully upstream.
After a few seconds, Cheng Puben's face became solemn, his calm expression faded, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes Lu Su was right, it was not any fireboat that came down the river, but countless huge bamboo rafts, the number of which was so large that almost the entire river surface was cut off.
Cheng Pu immediately understood Ma Yuan's intentions, the man who pretended to be an ancient, had expected that he would send a fire-repellent ship, so he did not use the fireboat, but set up thousands of bamboo rafts in advance, and covered the entire river with firerafts in one go, so that his fleet could not be avoided.
"Oh no, this horse aid, unexpectedly" Cheng Pu, who was in shock, was surging with anger and surprise on his face, and his teeth were clenched, and he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do for a while. isjgy:
