Chapter 356: The Battle of Red Cliffs is in Full Swing (Part 2)

On this day, the Wu army commander Zhou Yu sent a letter, and there was only one word in the letter: "Drag!"

The Wei army was not accustomed to water warfare and was temporarily unable to cross the river.

The Wu-Shu allied forces delayed time and did not launch any major attacks.

The armies of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu camped on both sides of Red Cliffs, facing each other, and the war fell into a stalemate just as it began.

At night, singing competitions would ring out on both sides of the Yin Spring River. The Wei army sang Wu songs and Shu tunes, while the Wu-Shu allied forces sang Wei folk songs.

The commanders of the three sides coincidentally used the military advisor skill "Ambush from Ten Sides."

For ten consecutive days, Zhang Xingyu, besides cooking for Zhuge Buliang, accompanied Hali in healing and used Soul Stones to cultivate.

Under his careful treatment, Hali's external injuries had basically healed, and even her internal injuries were seven or eight-tenths better. This was all thanks to the miraculous efficacy of the Yin-Yang fish roe. Hali didn't like to eat fish, but she liked to eat fish roe. During this period, Zhang Xingyu had to go out to catch fish every night under the cover of darkness. And every time he went out, he could always catch a Yin-Yang fish.

This action of his naturally fell into the eyes of the prisoner Lin He. Lin He couldn't believe that the Yin-Yang fish, which were rarely seen, were caught by Zhang Xingyu just like that. For ten days in a row, he never missed. Lin He thought to himself that the Yin-Yang fish in this Yin Spring River were probably all going to be eaten by him.

In addition, the pile of Soul Stones traded for Pure Yang Immortal Liquid was also used up by Zhang Xingyu. These Soul Stones brought Zhang Xingyu a total of 256 million points of God Yuan Value. Zhang Xingyu's God Sea became vast and mighty once again.

Peace is always short-lived.

War is always coming.

After ten days of practice, the Wei Kingdom's navy took initial shape.

"Attack, attack, all-out attack. Defeat the Wu-Shu allied forces in three days, and capture Sun Quan and Liu Bei alive in ten days." The King of Wei, Cao Cao, ordered. He had waited too long for this moment; every extra day he waited made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The Wei army attacked, and the Wu-Shu allied forces also blew the horn of battle.

On the river surface of Red Cliffs, which was dozens of miles long, warships were like a forest, flying arrows were like rain, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Yin soldiers who were hit by arrows fell into the river like dumplings, splashing up gray-black waves.

Shu army water fortress, on the watchtower.

Zhuge Buliang was leading a group of generals to check the military situation.

From dawn to dusk, both sides of the fierce battle were exhausted. However, neither side sounded the gong to withdraw. In the first battle of the war, even if they couldn't knock the other side down, they couldn't be the first to lose their momentum.

At night, the river wind blew. Torches were lit on both sides of the Yin Spring River, illuminating the river surface brightly.

The battle was still continuing.

Zhuge Buliang was still watching the battle.

The food Zhang Xingyu sent to Zhuge Buliang had been reheated three times.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Guan Yu, with his leopard head and round eyes, was the first to be unable to hold back.

"Military Advisor, the battle won't end in a moment. Why don't you eat something first." Guan Yu suggested weakly.

Zhuge Buliang turned his head, looked at Guan Yu, and then looked at the food.

"Eat. Eat. After you finish, you go on the field."

"Yes."

Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. He devoured his food like a whirlwind, then happily carried his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and went down the watchtower.

"Kill!"

Guan Yu jumped onto a large ship and led a water army to kill out.

They were like a sharp awl piercing into the stalemate battlefield, and in a moment, they pierced through the Wei navy's defensive formation.

"Kill!"

The Wu-Shu allied forces who were fighting took the opportunity to counterattack, and the Wei navy was suddenly in chaos.

"Ding-ding-dang-dang!" The Wei army sounded the gong to retreat.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong!" The Wu-Shu allied forces beat the drums to pursue.

It wasn't until they chased to the vicinity of the Wei army's water fortress that the Wu-Shu allied forces stopped the pursuit and slowly retreated.

On the first day of the Great Battle of Red Cliffs, the Wu-Shu allied forces won a great victory.

After Zhuge Buliang and the generals finished their food, Zhang Xingyu led Lin He to clean up and returned to the military tent.

Along the way, Lin He was smiling happily.

Zhang Xingyu was puzzled: "Lin He, you are a Wei army general. On the first day of this great battle, the Wei army was miserably defeated; what do you have to be happy about?"

"Hehe, hehe!" Lin He smiled without answering.

"Damn it. What are you laughing at." Zhang Xingyu kicked Lin He on the butt.

That night, the allied camp was filled with singing.

At the same time, the Wei army camp was filled with sorrow.

"Trash, trash!"

The King of Wei, Cao Cao, kicked over the table in front of him. The table was made of gold, and the King of Wei was sweating profusely from the pain.

The civil and military officials serving below were as silent as cicadas in winter. They all looked at their feet, their hearts in their feet, not daring to make a sound.

After a long time, Cao Cao couldn't bear the pain, and he shouted loudly: "Military doctor! Military doctor! Are you all dead?"

No words were spoken all night.

The next day, the Wu-Shu allied forces challenged, and the Wei army stood firm and did not come out.

The third day, the Wu-Shu allied forces challenged, and the Wei army still stood firm and did not come out.

For ten consecutive days, the Wei army hung up the "no-war" sign.

The Wei army did not fight, and the Wu-Shu allied forces did not force an attack.

The war fell into a stalemate again.

Ten days later, the Wei army went out to fight.

Warships lined up one after another, crashing toward the Wu-Shu allied forces.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The allied warships at the front were smashed to pieces.

"Arrow rain! Arrow rain!"

The commander of the Wu navy, General Gan Ning, roared loudly.

"Ding-ding-dang-dang!"

The arrows shot onto the Wei warships, making a series of crisp sounds like pearls falling on a jade plate.

The arrow rain had little effect.

It turned out that the Wei warships were actually covered with a layer of iron plating.

"Damn, wooden ships turned into ironclad ships. No wonder they dare to charge around." Guan Yu on the watchtower said loudly.

"Order! The navy retreats. Prepare the fire-pots." Zhuge Buliang glared at Guan Yu and ordered the messenger loudly.

In the second battle of the Great Battle of Red Cliffs, the Wei army was defeated again. When the Wei ironclad ships approached the allied water fortress, they were attacked by the Shu army's small boats with fire-pots and suffered heavy losses.

That night, the allied camp was singing and dancing, while the Wei army camp was lifeless.

The King of Wei, Cao Cao, was so angry that his high blood pressure flared up, and he kept rolling on the ground, clutching his head.

The next day, the Wei army hung up the "no-war" sign again.

Time flew like a white horse passing a gap, and in the blink of an eye, five months had passed.

For five months, the Wei army tried every method and used all kinds of means, but they still couldn't attack the south bank of the Yin Spring River.

The summer flowers withered, the autumn wind faded, and winter arrived.

On this day, a thick layer of ice formed on the Yin Spring River.

Zhang Xingyu and Hali carried buckets to the riverbank.

"The river surface is frozen." Hali said to Zhang Xingyu.

"Ah?"

"When I was a child, there was a small river outside my family's castle. Every winter, the river surface would freeze with a thick layer of ice. Many children would skate on the river surface. At that time, I would stand on the windowsill and watch them blankly."

"Want to go skating?"

"Mm."

"If you want to, then go. Why just watch from the windowsill?"

"Father said we are descendants of the Demon God, and descendants of the Demon God cannot waste time on such meaningless things as skating."

"Oh. Understand. The helplessness of the Demon God's descendants."

Zhang Xingyu looked at Hali: "Want to try?"

"What?"

"Skating. Wait for me a moment, I'll make you some roller skates."

That noon, Zhang Xingyu dragged Hali onto the river surface. They sped nimbly across the ice, sometimes skimming the ice like flying swallows, sometimes spinning rapidly like tops, sometimes dancing gracefully like ice butterflies.

"Good! Good! Good!"

On both sides of the great river, cheers erupted.

Zhuge Buliang climbed the watchtower, looked at the two people dancing on the river surface, and then shouted to the people below: "Prepare for battle, prepare for battle!" ===== CHAPTER 357 =====
