Lu Su and Lu Meng never imagined that Sun Quan, who had tasted the sweetness, really wanted to go. The warship they took returned to Ruxuwu and pulled out more than 600 spike arrows in total.

Early the next morning, the two mountains were shrouded in fog again, and the visibility was slightly better than yesterday.

Sun Quan once again ordered to "borrow arrows" from Cao Cao's camp. Naturally, Lu Su did not dare to let him take risks alone, so he mobilized hundreds of warships to accompany him, intending to play a trick on Cao Cao.

Seven or eight ships were shouting and shouting in front of Cao Jun's water stronghold, which soon alerted Cao Cao who was resting in the tent.

Sun Quan's son is still here? Cao Cao put on his robes and went to the shore to watch. He could vaguely see the warships in Jiangdong.

Cai Mao came again to ask for instructions: "Prime Minister, the bandit army now only has seven ships. If we send out the water warships immediately, we may be able to eat them."

When Cao Cao frowned and hesitated, Jia Xu next to him said: "The clouds in the Art of War are fictitious and real. Although the fog today is not as good as yesterday, you still can't see very far. I think we should continue to hold on until the clouds clear and the fog clears and the rain passes.

Qing, go directly to the Xijiang camp to surround Sun Quan."

"Can you bear it when Sun Quan shits on your head?" Cao Cao asked Cai Mao.

Cai Hao shook his head, "Uh...can't..."

"Then you still don't think of a way to retreat from the enemy?" Cao Cao glared at Cai Mao.

Cai Hao looked at the others and asked tentatively: "Should we still use bows and arrows?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao's face turned cold. What he had finally forgotten yesterday, this guy actually mentioned it again.

"Prime Minister, Sun Quan appears at the bow of the ship." Zhang Yun, deputy commander of the navy, ran over excitedly.

"Degui, hurry up and prepare the warship. Let's go and capture Sun Lang." Cao Cao said happily.

"Wei." Cai Mao also became excited. It seemed that the boss was going to take charge personally.

Jia Xu quickly reminded: "Prime Minister, beware of fraud."

Cao Cao said confidently: "Even if there is a scam, we must try it. Wenyuan, you lead people to use bows and arrows to keep them."

"Shoot again?" Zhang Liao looked confused.

"Don't Sun Quan want arrows? Just give them more, and stop shooting when they turn around." Cao Cao smiled mysteriously.

"Wonderful." Jia Xu applauded.

Cao Ying's water stronghold quickly moved into action. Zhang Liao mobilized 3,000 soldiers to take turns shooting. Cao Cao, Cai Mao and others sailed their boats to anchor and secretly sailed to the entrance of the stronghold.

Counselor Cheng Yu boarded the ship with Cao Cao, but Jia Xu, who felt something was wrong in his heart, stayed on the shore. He walked to Zhang Liao and said darkly: "General Zhang, why don't you mix some rockets with the fire?"

Zhang Liao looked at Jia Xu in shock and said to himself that Dr. Jia was indeed quite sinister. Thousands of rockets were launched in unison, which was a spectacle. I don't know how many of Sun Quan's cockroaches could be retained.

According to Jia Xu's plan, Zhang Liao wrapped the arrowhead in tung oil and blue cloth, and the rocket flew out like raindrops.

Many rockets were extinguished in the air, and many rockets fell into the water. However, a considerable number were nailed to the outer wall of the cabin, and some even hit the canvas of the mast.

Looking at the burning flames, Sun Quan couldn't help but cursed: "The thief Cao is shameless."

At this time, the ship had just turned around, and seven or eight sterns were leaning and waiting to be shot. However, Zhang Liao's mission had been completed after two rounds of rockets.

At the same time, the warships in the water village had already rushed out.

"Lord, the Cao thieves have really come out. Let's retreat quickly." Lu Meng reminded loudly.

"Ziming...you take command..." Sun Quan arranged in panic.

On the outside of Sun Quan's stern, very few bows and arrows were hit in the cabin, and the hull was in a normal state of balance. However, the other warships that were catching arrows were in terrible condition. They could not run fast at all if they were unbalanced.

Lü Meng commanded the fleet, and originally wanted to retreat to the east, but found that Cao Jun's clippers were actually taking a detour to outflank them.

With seven ships armed with bows and arrows, there was almost no possibility of escape.

"Ziming, let's turn the steering wheel to the north and meet up with Zijing." Sun Quan also realized that something was wrong.

When Sun Quan said this, he abandoned the seven ships and the Jiangdong soldiers on the warships.

Lu Meng knew that he had no choice. Even if everyone fled towards the mouth of Chaohu Lake, the unbalanced ships would be stopped by Cao's army.

"Go north, turn the steering wheel." Lu Meng shouted.

Sun Quan's stern turned the rudder, but the other seven ships could not turn the rudder and had no choice but to head eastward.

Cao Jun's ships divided into two groups to outflank Sun Quan, and saw Sun Quan's single ship and seven ships going in different directions.

The one responsible for outflanking the right wing continued to intercept the seven "slow" ships, and Cao Cao personally led the left wing to target Sun Quan's ship.

Sun Quan's ship's speed was not damaged, and Cao Cao could only keep a distance from behind and chase.

The fog above Chao Lake was still thick, and Cheng Yu instinctively felt that something was wrong. He immediately reminded Cao Cao on the bow of the boat: "Prime Minister, there is a heavy fog in the lake, and there may be an ambush."

"Which ship is carrying Sun Quan?" Cao Cao pointed to the north and said.

"Yes...but..." Cheng Yu stopped talking.

"There is no but, Sun Quan's son personally acted as bait. Gu Ke cannot let him down. If there is no ambush in the lake, he will be finished." Cao Cao was full of confidence.

Risks and rewards coexist. Looking at the gray-haired Cao Cao, Cheng Yu lamented that his lord was still as good as the poem he wrote.

In his old age, the martyr is full of ambition.

Cao Jun's warship rode through the wind and waves, and walked in the fog for half an hour. Suddenly, he found that Sun Quan's stern had stopped, and there were many black spots behind it.

Cao Cao pretended to be calm, "Sun Quan's son is indeed ambushed. This guy is not as upright as his father and brother..."

"Prime Minister, warships have also appeared behind our fleet..." Zhang Yun said in a panic.

"When exactly...we didn't notice it..." Cao Cao was beating in his heart.

Cheng Yu explained: "The fog on the lake makes it difficult to see clearly. There are capable men in the Jiangdong navy. The situation is not favorable to us now. Why not retreat to the west? When the clouds clear and the fog clears, Governor Cai will definitely come to help."

"What Zhongde said is true, why don't you hurry up and make arrangements?" Cao Cao shouted angrily at Zhang Yun.

"Wei." Zhang Yun lowered his head and clasped his fists.

Lu Su personally commanded the warship to make a detour. Originally he only wanted to eat part of Cao's navy, but he never expected that the fish in this net would be so big.

Jiangdong's warships advanced from the north and south at the same time, trying to encircle Cao Cao's more than 30 warships, but the other side decisively turned the rudder and sailed westward.

After Lu Su chased for more than ten miles, Cao's army's warships stopped. Jiangdong's warships blocked the north-south route, and found that Cao's army was blocked by an island.

"Prime Minister...what should we do now..." Zhang Yun asked in a panic.

"We can only fight for now. If we can't win, we will retreat to the island." Cheng Yu suggested.

Cao Cao nodded, "According to what Zhongde said, our army's main camp is at Chaohu. It's not that easy for Sun Quan to trap us."

Lu Su outflanked seventy or eighty ships. Regardless of the number of warships or soldiers, the strength of Jiangdong's army was more than half of Cao's army.

The water battle in front of the island ended in less than half an hour. Cao Cao decisively gave up his inferior project and led his soldiers directly to escape to the island.

There were three thousand soldiers who followed Cao Cao to the island, including hundreds of Xu Chu's Tiger Guards. In addition to Xu Chu, the accompanying generals also included Cao Hong, Zang Ba, Zhang Yun, etc.

After a while, the clouds and fog began to clear. Cao Cao stood on the island and watched. He saw the mighty Jiangdong warships. He couldn't help but sigh: "When you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng's son is like a dolphin dog..."
