Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 338 Huang Gai Comes Down.

Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind as promised, and when the east wind came, Zhou Yu immediately ordered Huang Gai to surrender to Qin.Huang Gai ordered a total of seventy fast boats, all of which were loaded with sulfur, hay, tung oil and other fire starters.

The bows of these boats are inlaid with three-foot-long iron nails.What is the function of these iron nails? Later, when the fire boats of Huang Gai boosted their horsepower and rushed towards the Qin army ships.

Once the ships of these two families hit each other head-on, the iron nail hit the Qin Jun's hull, and you couldn't separate them at that time.

Li Chen was not stupid enough to connect all the boats together with iron cables like Cao Cao.Without the chain of iron chains, the fire boat of Soochow can only be replaced by iron nails.

It can be seen from this that for the purpose of burning the Qin army today, Soochow has done a lot of homework.

Huang Gai led about [-] fast boats to the Qin camp to feign surrender. These boats were covered with spreaders, and under the spreaders were all hay, sulfur and other fire starters.

With the help of Zhuge Liang's borrowed Dongfeng, Huang Gai's fast boats can be said to be even faster.

However, Zhou Yu has his Zhang Liang plan, and Li Chen also has his own wall ladder.Li Chen's greatest advantage lies in his familiarity with the development of history.

When Huang Gai came to Qin Ying for the first time to feign surrender, Li Chen already had a counterpart.Now the ships in the first row of the Qin army are all obsolete broken ships, and these ships are also loaded with sulfur, hay, tung oil and other things that ignite the fire.

Let's put it this way, Li Chen is now waiting for Huang Gai's fireboat to arrive.Once Huang Gai's fire boat collided with Li Mu's prepared fire boat, there would be a big commotion.

And now it was night, not to mention that he couldn't see his fingers, but the visibility was at most ten or twenty paces away.Once Huang Gai's fire boat collided with the fire boat that Li Mu had prepared in advance, the commotion would turn into misleading Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu mistakenly thought that Huang Gai had succeeded in setting fire to the Qin camp, and that if all the ships in Jiangdong were exhausted by then, Zheng Chenggong and others would have the opportunity to fight decisively.

The seventy ships owned by Huang Gai were all flying the Qingya flag, and this Qingya flag was also the signal agreed by Huang Gai and Li Chen.Along the way, the Qin army had no intention of stopping Huang Gai's ships with the Qingya flag.

"Hey, is the person coming in front of you General Huang?"

Suddenly, several fast boats came in front, and Huang Gai couldn't help shivering when he heard this sound.

Huang Gai was someone who had entered the Qin camp. Huang Gai recognized this voice. This person was Qi Jiguang, the deputy commander of the Qin army's navy.

Huang Gai understands that someone who can become the deputy commander of the Qin Army and the Navy must have real skills. Huang Gai is afraid that Qi Jiguang will see something.

Qi Jiguang led a few soldiers onto Huang Gai's boat, and asked Huang Gai, "General Huang, are these ships full of food, grass, and military equipment?"

Hearing Qi Jiguang's words, Huang Gai quickly nodded and said, "That's right, General Qi. These ships are full of food, grass and military equipment I brought."

Qi Jiguang lifted the curtain covering the ship, looked at it, and found that the ship was indeed full of food, grass and military equipment.

"Well, Old General Huang really really wanted to surrender to Qin, and he made a great contribution this time."

"When Wu is broken, my king will definitely reward you a lot." Qi Jiguang said to Huang Gai.

When Qi Jiguang said this, his eyes quietly aimed at the boat behind.In fact, Qi Jiguang had already seen the tricks on Huang Gai's ships.

Among the ships of Huang Gai, the draft of the first ship was very deep, indicating that the cargo loaded on the first ship was very heavy.And the draft of the boat behind is very shallow, which means that the things loaded on the boat behind are very light.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Huang Gai's first ship was loaded with food, grass and military equipment, which was used to deal with the inspection of the Qin army.On the ships behind, they were filled with fire starters such as sulfur, hay, and tung oil.

"Don't dare to take credit, don't dare to take credit!" Huang Gai said hastily.

"General Huang, the King of Qin wants to summon you. As for these people, they have their own arrangements." Qi Jiguang said to Huang Gai.

Hearing that King Qin wanted to summon him, Huang Gai's heart tightened.In this case, the plan will be changed.Huang Gai thought to himself how he would direct the fire to the Qin camp once he left.

But at this time, Qi Jiguang was waiting for him here, if Huang Gai didn't go, it would arouse Qi Jiguang's suspicion.Now they are still far away from the main camp of the Qin army. Many ships of the Qin army patrolled the sentry along the way.

At this time, once the purpose is revealed, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Thinking of this, Huang Gai winked at the two lieutenants behind him, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, as if to say that the matter of burning the Qin camp must be left to you two.

"Old General Huang, if not, the last general will go for you. We all followed you to the King of Qin. If you leave, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid we will be hard-pressed."

"I will go to see King Qin for you. If King Qin has any orders, I will tell you when I come back." Ding Feng cupped his hands towards Huang Gai and said.

Ding Feng and Xu Sheng understood that whoever went to see the King of Qin would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.When the fire burns up, the person who went to see the King of Qin has no life left.Huang Gai is so old, Ding Feng, how could Xu Sheng put him in danger.Therefore, Ding Feng said that he would go to see Li Chen for Huang Gai.

"Nonsense, King Qin is summoning me, not you."

"This kind of thing, do you just replace it at will?" Huang Gai rolled his eyes and reprimanded Ding Feng.

"General Qi, let's go see the King of Qin." After speaking, Huang Gai said to Qi Jiguang.

Huang Gai boarded Qi Jiguang's boat and disappeared on the vast river.Seeing this scene, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng couldn't help but twitch their hearts.

"Old General Huang, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck." Ding Feng said with a sigh.

"You and I must set fire to the Qin camp, and we must live up to the high expectations of General Huang." Xu Sheng said to Ding Feng.

Huang Gai boarded Qi Jiguang's boat and followed him to the back camp to meet Li Chen, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng. They took the seventy-odd fast boats to the main camp to surrender.

"General Qi, I don't know what the King of Qin is asking me for?" On the boat, Huang Gai wanted to get some news from Qi Jiguang.

"Old General Huang came to surrender. The King of Qin wants to ask about the strength of the Wu army on the opposite side? The deployment of troops in this water village."

"General Huang is considered to be in a high position, these circumstances should be clear." Qi Jiguang said to Huang Gai.

Qi Jiguang's remarks can be said to be watertight, so Huang Gai did not have any doubts.Instead, he hurriedly replied: "Of course I know this. Although I can't say exactly, I can still give a general idea."
