The surging Changjiang River continued and did not stop.
Liu Bei's army went down the river and when they went past the Han River mouth, Zhuge Liang suggested they send warships and scout to prevent the enemy from setting an ambush in the Han River.
Liu Bei nodded and allowed it, but he only gave them half a day. In the end, they obtained no rewards. With that, the army continued to move down the river and headed toward Ruxi Town.
Just as they passed the Changjiang mouth, at an inconspicuous corner, a beast with a green head popped out and did a roll before disappearing in the water.
The green beast traveled up the river for half a day before coming to the upstream portion of the river. At this place, the 2nd unit was quietly waiting.
Splash!
The beast jumped out of the river and landed on top of the flagship.
A young man was standing on the deck. When he saw the giant beast, he smiled and touched its head, asking, ”They just went over?”
The giant beast could actually understand his words and nodded.
”Good, go play!” The young man once again patted its head.
Nian!
The giant beast leaped and once again disappeared into the vast river.
The young man turned around and looked at the navy major, ”You heard that?”
”Monarch, do not worry. With our speed, we can move to the next ambush point in time if we move out now.” The major was solemn but rather excited.
The young man nodded, ”Follow the plan!”
”Yes Monarch!”
After giving his instructions, the young man moved to the side of the deck where a flying device was parked.
This young man was naturally Ouyang Shuo.
With a little stalking, the location and movements of the Liu Bei Navy had completely fallen under their control.
The ambush plan that Jia Xu had made needed extreme precise. They needed to know the exact time they passed the river mouth and also needed to inform the Red Cliff Navy in time so that they could work together.
If one side performed badly, all their efforts would be ruined.
The secret weapon that Jia Xu mentioned was the flying device that had teleported over with the voyage squadron.
Ouyang Shuo pushed the purple magnetic ohlite around his neck into the caved in portion of the flying device. The mysterious patterns suddenly lit up like an awakened beast.
The flying device suddenly rose and disappeared into the sky.
Ouyang Shuo was driving the device down the river through the river mouth and down toward Red Cliff. In less than an hour, he saw Liu Bei's army traveling on the river surface.
”Caught you!”
Ouyang Shuo smiled and drove the flying device away from Changjiang and toward the Yunmeng River on the west side; he especially made a big circle before entering Red Cliff.
Two hours later, the flying device landed on Dragon Head.
”Monarch!”
When he received the news, Zheng He came out to welcome his Lord.
”The target has appeared, get ready!” Ouyang Shuo was extremely direct.
”Understood!”
Zheng He immediately ordered the army to leave Red Cliff.
With that, the Shanhai City Army had locked them in Changjiang from both the front and the back.
Morning, 19th day of the battle map.
On the Liu Bei flagship deck, Zhuge Liang stood in the wind, pointing at the river and smiling, ”Lord, not far from here is Ruxi Lake.”
”Great!” Since they did not face any resistance on the way here, Liu Bei's mood was extremely good. As long as the army was able to disembark smoothly, they would have largely succeeded.
At this very moment, the alarm sounded.
When Liu Bei heard the sound, his heart shook, ”What happened?”
”Lord, the enemy ships behind us have caught up!” The Personal Guard stammered as he spoke.
”What?”
When he heard this news, Liu Bei immediately turned around, only to see a massive squadron charging over. An eye-catching golden dragon flag hung from the warship.
”It's the Shanhai City Squadron!”
From the side, Chun Shenjun solemnly exclaimed.
”Why did this happen!”
Liu Bei's face was ashen white; he regretted not listening to the suggestion of patrolling the area more carefully.
”Advisor, what should we do now?” Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was calm, ”Lord, please calm down. Their forces are not many and should be their branch squad. The best method is to send some sailors to drag them down and to rush to Ruxi Town to disembark. We have no chance at all if we fight on the river.”
”Advisor is correct!” Liu Bei calmed himself down.
Liu Bei had totally no hopes of his navy winning. As such, when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, he immediately ordered the navy to break away from the main force and take charge of dragging down the enemy.
The main force would charge to Ruxi Town.
As long as they reach there, they would definitely win with their massive army.
”Qiyue Wuyi, just you wait!” Liu Bei's hatred for this player increased.
At this moment of life and death moment, Liu Bei's army was like an arrow leaving the bowstring, charging forward.
At the same time, the navy squadron got ready to intercept the Shanhai City Squadron.
”Fire the cannons!”
The Shanhai City Squadron did not hesitate and used their special move straight away.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
On the river surface, cannon explosions rang out once more.
