The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 298 Battle!

On Cao Cao's fleet side, the fire had just been put out, and before the soldiers had time to catch their breath, they noticed an even more tense atmosphere in the air.

Zhuge Liang stood at the bow, holding a Coke in his hand, looking towards the direction of Chibi in the night, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

"My brother won't be waiting for me up there!"

Cao Cao walked up to him and said solemnly.

"Mr. Zhuge, it seems Jiangdong is determined to fight us this time."

Zhuge Liang took a sip of his Coke and said with a look of despair, "Cao Cao, this battle is unavoidable. However, we can't just sit there and wait for death. The Jiangdong army is formidable. If we want to win, we must employ a surprise attack."

Zhuge Liang appeared calm on the surface, but was extremely panicked inside: Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you must win, otherwise I will have to pay my brother back!

Cao Cao nodded. He was well aware of Zhuge Liang's wisdom and had high hopes for him at this moment.

"Mr. Zhuge, if you have any brilliant ideas, please tell me. I, Cao Cao, will fully cooperate."

At this moment, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others also rushed over. Guan Yu folded his arms and said to Cao Cao.

"President, the fire has been put out now. The soldiers are ready for battle and can start fighting at any time!"

Zhang Fei waved his fist and shouted loudly.

"Right now, I just want to give those guys from Jiangdong a good beating. They actually came up with the treacherous plan of setting fire to the ship. They must want to see my wet body temptation!"

Zhao Yun looked calm and nodded slightly. Ma Chao and Huang Zhong also expressed that they were ready to join the battle at any time.

Cao Cao looked at his brothers in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. If he had such a group of good brothers around him, why would he worry about not being able to dominate the world?

He turned his head, looked at Zhuge Liang, and then said.

"The Jiangdong navy excels in naval warfare, and we are at a disadvantage in this regard. However, their strength can also become their weakness. Zhou Yu is a man of extraordinary wisdom and strategy, and we cannot confront him with conventional methods."

Cao Cao's gaze fell on the river surface. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he seemed to have thought of something.

"I have a plan that might be worth a try. Zhang Fei, immediately send someone to prepare some small boats filled with flammable materials, as well as some ropes and torches. Also, select some elite soldiers and have them hide in the boats and await my orders."

Although Zhang Fei didn't quite understand Cao Cao's intention, he did as he was told without hesitation. After all, he was the marshal in the army and should obey his orders.

Meanwhile, back in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu was hiding behind a strange rock, watching Cao Cao's fleet's every move. Lu Meng approached him and said.

"Vice President, Cao Cao's fleet seems to be making some preparations. Should we launch an attack in advance?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient. Let's see what they are up to. But don't forget, they have Zhuge Liang's help. He is a cunning man and we can't be fooled easily."

After a while, Cao Cao's fleet was ready. He stood at the bow and shouted to the soldiers hiding in the small boats.

"Listen carefully! When I give the order, light your boats on fire and quickly row towards the Jiangdong fleet. Remember, you must be quick!"

The soldiers nodded to show that they understood.

After everything was ready, Cao Cao shouted, "Action!" Immediately, dozens of small boats filled with flammable materials were set on fire, and flames shot into the sky.

The soldiers rowed hard and rushed towards the Jiangdong fleet. Zhou Yu saw this scene and smiled disdainfully. He understood Cao Cao's intentions.

"So they wanted to attack with fire! How dare you show off your skills in front of us and play with fire? We Jiangdong are your ancestors! Shoot them down with rockets!"

The archers in ambush in Jiangdong drew their bows and shot arrows at the oncoming boat.

However, the soldiers on Cao Cao's side were well prepared. They immediately blocked the arrows with wave shields and continued to row hard.

"over there!"

A squad leader looked at the Jiangdong fleet and shouted that this was a bait thrown by Zhou Yu. After all, no matter how big Chibi was, it was impossible to hide 100,000 ambushes. Therefore, he allocated 70,000 people to fight in the fleet, 20,000 people to ambush on Chibi Island, and 10,000 people to lurk in the water.

The soldiers lit the ropes and connected the boats together, forming a wall of fire, which crashed into the Jiangdong fleet.

The 5,000-man Jiangdong fleet at the forefront suddenly fell into chaos, many warships were set on fire, and the fire spread rapidly.

Zhou Yu looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little heartbroken, but in order to win, he had to overcome this mentality.

"Inform them to put out the fire normally. We must let Cao Cao know that we are in disarray!"

While the Jiangdong fleet was busy putting out the fire, Cao Cao's fleet launched a general attack. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and others led their troops on warships and charged towards the Jiangdong fleet. A fierce battle ensued on the river, with shouts of war and the clash of weapons unceasingly heard.

Guan Yu, wielding his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, was like a god of war, crushing the Jiangdong soldiers wherever he went. Zhang Fei, roaring with fury, brandished his Zhangba Snake Spear, charging forward, unstoppable. Zhao Yun, agile and swift, weaved through the enemy ranks with ease, his spear like a nimble dragon, piercing the enemy relentlessly. Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, not to be outdone, each unleashed their unique skills, inflicting immense damage on the Jiangdong soldiers.

Under the fierce attack of Cao Cao's soldiers, the 10,000-strong Jiangdong fleet used as bait gradually could not hold on and began to show signs of defeat.

Zhou Yu looked at the situation in front of him. All the Five Tiger Generals had been dispatched, and the positions of Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang could also be calculated based on the warships, so he could close the net.

"Notify the bait, have them retreat, and lure all the enemies into the formation!"

Just as Cao Cao's fleet continued to "pursue the victory", suddenly, when the fleet was 500 meters away from the Chibi shoal, a strong wind blew on the river.

The howling wind caused the warship to shake violently. Cao Cao almost vomited, and then his face changed. He realized that this was Zhou Yu's plan.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and Cao Cao's warships were blown this way and that, and many soldiers were unable to stand steadily. Although Guan Yu and his men were highly skilled in martial arts, they could not exert their full strength in such a strong wind.

The Jiangdong fleet took advantage of this opportunity to reorganize a counterattack. Then, large ships quickly sailed out from behind Chibi Island. Cao Cao suddenly realized that Zhou Yu had set an ambush!

The Jiangdong army took advantage of the maneuverability of the warships and launched a fierce attack on Cao Cao's fleet.

Cao Cao looked at the situation in front of him and felt very anxious. He turned his head, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said.

"Mr. Zhuge, what should we do now? This strong wind must be Zhou Yu's trick. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to break it!"

Zhuge Liang waved his fan, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. He could only look away speechlessly.
