On the surface of the river, the blocking fire ships were gradually extinguishing. However, the fire in front had just gone out, but the fire behind him had started to catch up.

When it was dawn, when the Eastern Wu navy turned its head and looked at its own camp, it suddenly realized that its own camp seemed to have caught fire.

At first, the first person to discover the Eastern Wu navy was thinking that he was confused about his eyes. He thought that he had been watching the fire in front of him for a long time, and now he looked like he was on fire everywhere.

"I am strictly guarding my own camp, how could it catch fire?" The Eastern Wu navy muttered and rubbed his eyes hard.

However, the more he rubbed his eyes, the more he saw it, the more he saw it. The big camp in his house was actually in a fire.

After carefully identifying it, the navy soldier shouted at the top of his voice: "It's on fire, it's on fire."

After the man shouted a few times, he found that no one paid attention to him. At this time, Dahuo thought to himself that the fire in front had been burning all night, so you still need to yell. This fool knew that the fire was on the front.

"Daying, Daying."

"Our camp is on fire, go and report to the governor." The man continued to shout at the top of his voice.

After his shout, the navy troops on the ships of the Eastern Wu turned their heads and looked back. When they looked, they found that there was indeed a fire in their camp.

"Grandmaster, it's broken, our camp is on fire. Look at the direction, it's the location of the granary." Lu Xun leaned over and said in Zhou Yu's ear.

At this time, there is actually no need to say anything about Lu Xun. Zhou Yu saw it himself. His own granary caught fire. Judging from the fire, I am afraid that the food in the granary should have been burned.

Zhou Yu's face changed a few times at this time. The granary was burned, which was a huge matter. You know, the combined water and army soldiers of the Eastern Wu on the front line had hundreds of thousands of people. If there were no soldiers like food and grass, it would be impossible to fight hungry.

However, Zhou Yu didn't care about so much at this time. If he withdrew his troops at this time, it would not only be the burning of food and grass, but the complete defeat.

Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said to Lu Xun: "Beat the three-way drum."

What does Zhou Yu mean when he asked Lu Xun to beat the three-way drum at this time? On the battlefield, beating the drum is advancing, and making the gold is retreating. These three-way drums, also called the snare drum, are used to boost the morale of the army. This one is thirty-six sounds.

The so-called front hit seven, back hit eight, and the middle hit eight, and the middle hit three times, bringing three times to a hundred and eight times. This is the saying that the three-way hits the snare drum in the military formation.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

When you think of this three-way snare drum, it also shows Zhou Yu's meaning. When this drum sounds, it means that Zhou Yu has no intention of retreating.

At this time, the fire ships blocking the road ahead were almost burning. Li Chen stood on the flagship, looking at the Wu army's ship not far away, and listening to the Wu army's three-way vibration snare drum.

I thought to myself, Zhou Yu is quite interesting.

It has to be said that Zhou Yu has two tricks in his reputation. At this time, the food and grass in the camp were burned. If it were an ordinary general, he would have retreated quickly. However, at this time, once he retreated, he would have been defeated.

Not only did Zhou Yu not have the slightest intention of retreating, he insisted on fighting this battle with Li Chen. Such a decisive ability to make decisions at the moment is indeed a rare handsome man in the world.

After about half an hour, the fire ships blocking the road ahead were completely burned. Zhou Yu looked at the fleet not far ahead and issued an order in a calm manner: "Five hundred flanks, tentative attack."

Zhou Yu's order was delivered. On the tower of the flagship, a Wu army flag bearer waved the flag in his hand vigorously.

In this era, commanding large-scale naval combat was basically all relying on flags to order the ships below to mobilize.

Zhou Yu's order was conveyed through flag words. The more than 200 ships led by Han Dang on the far left and the more than 200 ships led by Zu Mao on the far right were like arrows leaving the strings toward the Qin fleet.

As the saying goes, soldiers come to block the enemy, and water comes to block the enemy. Since Zhou Yu made a move, Qi Jiguang naturally has a way to deal with it.

"The main ship is in front, and the boat flanked and collided." Zheng Chenggong's order also conveyed.

"Oh, I said Governor Zheng, cannon, cannon."

"Our cannon is not a decoration?" Cheng Yaojin reminded from the side.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong did not forget the artillery, but it was not time to use artillery. The Wu army's ships were more than five times that of the Qin army. At this time, most of the five hundred Wu army ships rushed up were small boats.

If the artillery fired at this time, the Wu army could ride a bicycle to protect the commander and sacrifice these more than 500 small boats to buy time for the large ship to evacuate.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang did not fire the gun at the first time, but instead gave Zhou Yu an illusion that after he pressed all the fleet, he was caught off guard.

"It's not time to fire the gun at this time, execute the command."

"All ships are not allowed to fire without orders. If they dare to violate the order, they will be killed." Zheng Chenggong glared at Cheng Yaojin and shouted.

The word "Slaying" in Qi Jiguang is actually to say to a naughty young man like Cheng Yaojin. Of course, now it is wartime, and the military orders are falling, so Cheng Yaojin dares not disobey them.

Under Zheng Chenggong's strict order, none of the Qin fleet dared to fire the artillery, but led by ten rushing ships and three-rail gunships, crashed into the Wu army's ships.

This wave was Zhou Yu's tentative attack, and it was precisely because of Cheng Yaojin's shot at Sun Jian that exposed the Qin army's long-range weapons. Zhou Yu was testing whether the Qin army's long-range weapons were equipped on a large scale or only a few.

It was precisely because Zheng Chenggong saw Zhou Yu's intention of this wave of temptation that he strictly ordered all ships not to fire.

Of course, it is no difficulty for the Qin army to hit the Wu army head-on. The ten flagships led by the Qin army are about ten times larger than the ships deployed by the Wu army now. Even compared with the Wu army's tower ships, they still have to be two or three times larger.

What's more, the bows of the rushing ship and the three-rail gunship are also equipped with iron collision angles. Let's put it this way, if the Qin army's ship crashes into it, it's like smashing an egg with a hammer.

"Bang!Bang!Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After another sound of collision, the Wu army originally planned to approach the Qin army's ships and use tools such as hooks and chains to climb up. However, the Qin army did not give them this opportunity at all. When they saw the Wu army's ships, they hit them hard.
