Chapter 821 Burning Xiakou
Han Shizhong was in the first boat, and after setting fire to the boat at high speed, he led the soldiers and jumped onto the boat that had been prepared.

This kind of small boat might not be of much use in a water battle, but now that the fire is about to burn, riding on this kind of small boat is enough to save one's life in the sea of ​​fire.

Warships and the like, even the smallest walking boat, the deck is one or two meters high from the river, let alone a huge building ship, which is one or two stories high.

Therefore, when the fire is strong, even if you are on the river, you cannot get water to put out the fire, but if you are on a boat or a bamboo raft, it is very close to the river, and the river is within reach, so you will not be afraid of the fire.

Not long after Han Shizhong jumped into the small boat, the soldiers on the thirty or forty warships prepared to ignite the fire followed suit and jumped onto the prepared warships on both sides to escape.

"Row back quickly!" The big ship next to it was already on fire, and it swept away northward with the help of the wind.The scorching flames made Han Shizhong's face flushed red.

As the saying goes, water and fire are ruthless, and the river is now almost occupied by both. Rao Han Shizhong, as a general, is calm and unavoidably worried.

The soldiers on the small boat were also terrified. Those with oars paddled desperately, and those without oars stretched out their hands to stir the water in the river, hoping that the speed of the boat would be faster.

Before the main village, Liu Bian looked at the brighter and brighter fire ahead, and was very excited. When the wind changed, he would be able to defeat Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.

Xie An on the side was burning with anxiety, and cupped his hands towards Yuan Shoucheng on the stage and said, "Master Daoist, please call the wind to come quickly, this fire will burn over soon!"

"Don't panic, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses may not have all entered the village yet, and we are seeking wind when the fire becomes fiercer!" Liu Bian trusted Yuan Shoucheng very much, and even if the fire was coming, he would not panic.

However, the more than forty warships have all been set on fire now, and they are docked at the gate of the fifth camp, and the fire is intensifying.The fire dragon, several meters long, swept towards the northern camp in the hunting east wind, and instantly ignited the fifth camp.

The fire gradually invaded the fifth camp.

"It's done!" Yuan Shoucheng stepped on the altar, and seeing this situation, he finally took action.

I saw him holding a small flag, looking up at the sky and praying in secret, and worshiping in all directions. The sixteen talisman flags planted around the altar kept shaking with the direction of Yuan Shoucheng's worship.

In the southeast wind, the flags fluttered to the north. As Yuan Shoucheng continued to worship in all directions, the flags also became wobbly, sometimes facing east and sometimes facing north.

While Xie An and the others were waiting anxiously, Yuan Shoucheng on the high platform shouted: "The wind is coming!"

Suddenly, Xie An only felt that the direction of the wind around him had changed, and the direction of the flags and robes had also changed.Looking at the fire ahead, one could clearly feel a reversal in direction.

"It's really changed, it's really changed! Thank you, Daoist!" Xie An was very excited, and bowed to Yuan Shoucheng on the high platform.

If you look down from the sky, the change in wind direction only exists within a few miles of the Han army's water village.Outside the water camp of the Han army, the southeast wind is still blowing. If you stand outside the camp, you can clearly feel the change of wind direction inside and outside.

Sensing the complete change of the wind direction around him, Liu Bian couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaimed: "I always thought that the Fengshui formation was just to gather Fengshui, but I didn't expect it to have such a magical effect. Today really opened my eyes."

"The principles of the world lead to the same goal by different routes. The formation of war can be defensive and offensive, and the same is true for Fengshui!" Yuan Shoucheng didn't control the formation on the stage, but walked down from the stage, and explained when he heard Liu Bian's words.

"Doesn't Taoist need to go on stage to control the operation of the formation?" Seeing Yuan Shoucheng stepping down, Xie An couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Yuan Shoucheng laughed: "Just don't worry, sir, this formation is done, you don't need someone to do it, and this strong wind can blow for a day!"

"Kill!" Suddenly, in the originally quiet camp, shouts of killing suddenly rang out.

"It seems that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses have completely entered the stronghold, and Liu Yu and the others have led their troops to surround them!" Hearing the sound of killing, Liu Bian guessed.

As expected by Liu Bian, after the main naval force led by Sun Ce had completely entered the water village of the Han army, the ships moored around the water village immediately started to move towards the first gate of the water village in an attempt to block the water. Live on the road where Jiangdong soldiers and horses leave.

It was midnight when Jiangdong soldiers and horses moved, that is, around one o'clock, and there were still four or five hours of darkness ahead.As early as after dark, Liu Yu led the rest of the navy to take back the boats outside the water stronghold, and the soldiers hid in the boats.Just waiting for Jiangdong soldiers and horses to come, they sailed warships to block the exit.

"Sure enough, it's a trick of the Han army to surrender!" Sun Ce's face darkened when he heard the shouts from behind, and he ordered: "I will kill all the surrendered soldiers, so as not to leave disaster behind!"

"No, we don't know anything!"

"We are sincerely surrendering!"

When Jiangdong soldiers and horses stretched out their butcher knives in front of the surrendered Jingzhou generals, they all looked innocent and begged Sun Ce.

But Sun Ce's order had been issued, but the soldiers didn't care about these people's begging for mercy. Suddenly there were screams, and many of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's confidantes returned to Xiakou, and their bodies were thrown into the river by Jiangdong soldiers.

"My lord, the Han army in the rear has blocked our exit, why don't I lead an army to repel them!" Zhou Yu asked.

"Okay!" Sun Ce nodded in agreement.

"Follow me!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, called several generals, turned some of the warships away, and headed towards the entrance of the village.

"Don't be stingy with the arrow feathers, all the arrows of our army are in our hands now, just keep shooting them down!" Seeing a warship approaching from the exit, Liu Yu ordered.

"No!" The soldiers on Liu Yu's warship were all excited, and saw that most of them were carrying bows and arrows, and there were many bundles of arrows beside them.Just wait for Jiangdong soldiers and horses to come, and shoot arrows to suppress them, preventing Jiangdong navy from approaching.

Zhou Yu stood at the bow of the ship, holding a saber, pointing at the soldiers and charging towards them.

But at a distance of 200 meters, in the direction of the warship of the Han army, there was a continuous stream of arrows. The arrow rain was so thick that it seemed to be raining, making it inevitable for people to avoid it.

Suddenly there were screams. Although Jiangdong soldiers carried a lot of shields as armor, they couldn't block the arrow attack with such a density.

When the arrow rain hit, Zhou Yu kept waving the arrows in his hand to block, but because the arrows were too dense, and Zhou Yu was not a top general, he was shot by an arrow and grinned in pain.

"What is the madness of the Han army? There are so many arrows!" The surrounding soldiers risked their lives to rescue Zhou Yu and hid in the cabin. From the hatch, Zhou Yu couldn't help scolding while looking at the deck like a hedgehog.
