The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 445: Battle of Red Cliffs (V)

The warships collided with each other. The warships of the Jingzhou navy remained motionless, while the warships of the coalition forces were knocked away one after another. They were no match for the linked warships.

A large number of soldiers were knocked into the river, the boat was destroyed and people died.

Unfortunately, faced with this situation, Zhou Yu had no means at all and could only order the army to retreat as much as possible.

It's like encountering heavy cavalry on the grassland. The only way is to retreat and exchange distance for living space. A head-on confrontation is simply seeking death.

At this moment, outside the Wulin camp, Zhao Yun waited for a long time, but did not see any deserters, and he felt a little anxious.

"General, Cao Chun's troops have already charged towards the Wulin camp." A scout came to report.

"Cao Chun went to the Wulin camp? Why?" Zhao Yun was very surprised. The situation before him seemed like an ambush from all sides, and the coalition forces were trying their best to eliminate the Cavalry Army's troops.

But now it is unexpected that at this time, Cao Chun actually launched an attack on the Wulin camp. This is not in line with common sense.

"The Wulin camp caught fire, but the cavalry did not show up and are still defending the camp." The scout did not dare to delay and quickly reported the news.

"An accident occurred?" Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly changed.

How many troops did Cao Chun lead? At most ten thousand. The same was true for other generals. However, the number of enemy troops in the Wulin camp was at least over one hundred thousand.

Cao Chun led his troops to attack the Wulin camp, which was simply seeking his own death.

Only if everyone joins forces and many ants bite the elephant to death, can we defeat the other side.

Although Zhao Yun didn't know which link went wrong, he knew that the most important thing to do now was to charge into the Wulin camp and encircle and annihilate the Cavalry Army, otherwise the coalition forces would be doomed.

"Hurry up and ask the two generals to join forces to attack Wulin." Zhao Yun knew that all of Zhuge Liang's arrangements had become ineffective. If he wanted to change all this, he could only make the best of a bad situation and join forces with Cao Cao to attack the Wulin camp.

"Yes."

The scout also knew that the situation was urgent, so he hurried to notify Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At this moment in the Wulin camp, Cao Cao's generals Cao Chun, Xu Chu and other generals led the army to attack the Wulin camp frantically, wishing they could rush in and destroy the camp immediately.

For a moment, the land of Wulin was filled with shouts of killing, and fire illuminated the night sky, dyeing it red. Two groups of people started fighting in this tiny place.

Cao Chun and his men fought very bravely and personally charged at the front. They knew that if things went wrong, this would be Cao Cao's last battle. If the Cavalry Army defended the camp to the death and refused to leave, the plans of Cao Cao and his men would fail. But they could not care less at the moment.

Nearly ten generals launched an attack on the Wulin camp together. Cao Chun and other generals personally went into battle, with their armor stained red with blood.

In the central army camp opposite, Qin Shou rode his warhorse and stood there quietly, his face calm. It was Cao Cao who was defeated at Huarong Road, not him, Qin Shou. Now, he has more than 100,000 troops under his command, with sufficient food and grass. He is invincible by defending the camp, so he doesn't have to worry about these things at all.

"My lord, Zhao Yun is leading five thousand elite soldiers to attack us."

The scouts brought news.

"Zhao Yun is coming?" Qin Shou was stunned and looked around. He could only order Huang Zhong to go and resist.

At this time, Qin Shou dared not underestimate the power of the generals. Everyone had reached the point of risking their lives, and these generals would play a crucial role. Only himself, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei could resist a general like Zhao Yun. Dian Wei could only deal with Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong could only deal with Zhao Yun. If nothing unexpected happened, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would appear next.

"The enemy has adjusted their strategy and wants to besiege the main camp. This should not be Zhuge Liang's idea." Jia Xu explained: "Zhuge Liang is cautious in using troops and is not good at making decisions on the spot. This is Guo Fengxiao's method."

"When Zhuge Liang used his troops, if he failed to strike once, he would flee thousands of miles away. When Fengxiao used his troops, he was omnipresent. If he failed to strike once, he would strike again. His tactics were always unexpected, and he would attack you in the most unlikely place." Qin Shou nodded.

"This is their last chance." Jia Xu's face was calm, as if he was narrating something very ordinary.

"Go check where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are. It would be a shame if these two were missing from such a big battle. I believe they will definitely come."

Qin Shou held two swords in his hands and was eager to try. Just as Jia Xu said, this was Liu Bei's last chance. If the two did not rush up and defeat him, Liu Bei's great cause would become a joke.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei is doomed to fail. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave, they cannot change the overall situation. Your Majesty is of noble status, so why bother fighting with them?" Jia Xu advised.

He saw what Qin Shou was thinking, which was to prepare for a fight with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. However, Qin Shou was in a situation where he was sure to win, so why take the risk?

Qin Shou smiled. He was a military general after all. He had built up a huge empire with his martial arts. Now it might be the last battle. Qin Shou naturally wanted to take action and fight against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

On the official road, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army towards Wulin, and both of them looked unhappy.

Especially Guan Yu, the scene of his bet with Zhuge Liang is still in front of his eyes. Now it seems that Zhuge Liang lost. However, this is not the result Guan Yu wanted to see.

His victory showed that Liu Bei's great cause had been seriously affected and the situation on the battlefield had changed.

"Second brother, as long as Qin Shou is still in Wulin, if we attack together, we will definitely be able to break into the Wulin camp and wipe out the Qin bandits." Zhang Fei seemed to know Guan Yu's mood at the moment.

He is a rough but meticulous person, and definitely not as reckless as he appears to be. He also realized the situation was not good at this time.

"Now, whether it is us or Cao Cao, there is only one way before us, and that is to break through the Wulin camp and kill Qin Shou. Only in this way can we have a chance to win. Otherwise, my brother's foundation will soon collapse." Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

Just now, when he was lying in ambush at Huarong Road, he wished so much that Zhuge Liang would win.

"Second brother, we are here."

Zhang Fei looked at the camp in the distance. There was chaos in the camp, but it was still obvious that the enemy camp was still resisting in an organized manner. On the high platform in the distance, there seemed to be dozens of people riding on war horses, overlooking the battlefield, with large flags fluttering behind them.

If nothing unexpected happens, that would be Qin Shou's central army flag.

"Where is the Prime Minister? Guan Yu wants to see you."

Guan Yu's phoenix eyes were shining as he rode his warhorse slowly. His voice drowned out the shouts and cries on the battlefield and was extremely eye-catching in the night sky.

"Qin thief, here comes Zhang Fei!"

Compared to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei seemed rude. His voice was loud and full of murderous intent. The Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand flashed with cold light, and he was ready to have a decisive battle with Qin Shou.
