The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 296 Burning Red Cliff

"Report to the commander, we have entered the territory of Chibi!"

On the river, sixty huge ships were breaking through the waves with flags fluttering. On the flags was written the word "Cao" or "Han". These were the troops from Cao Cao and "Liu Bei"!

There were sixty ships in total, each ship was a hundred meters wide. Five warships were lined up in a row, moving forward in unison, almost occupying the entire river surface. From a distance, it looked like a dark mass, and a feeling of suffocation came over you.

"Pass the order down, prepare for battle. All teams, take the seasickness pills that were distributed and check that the cannons are in normal condition!"

"Yes!"

The messenger received the order and immediately ran out of the cabin with a small flag.

"Hey guys, are you all okay?"

Cao Cao looked at the five tiger generals with livid faces. Most of them had adverse reactions to the water. The reason they did not suffer from vomiting and diarrhea was, on the one hand, because they had taken seasickness medicine, and on the other hand, they had used their skills to suppress the urge to vomit.

"President, we are fine, we just feel a little uncomfortable!"

Huang Zhong shook his head. As an archer, he hated the swaying feeling the most. It made him very uncomfortable.

Most of the others were born in the inland areas and rarely had the opportunity to fight on the water. Even if they did practice Qinggong, it was mostly land-based. Unlike some of the petty thieves in Jiangdong, they practiced Qinggong like "Floating on Water"...

"That's good. The battle will start soon, so please be careful, brothers!"

Cao Cao bowed to everyone, and everyone bowed back.

"Hiccup~"

Zhang Fei drank a tube of seasickness medicine and showed a satisfied look.

"How come this thing feels so good when you drink it? Who figured it out?"

Zhang Fei flicked the empty medicine bottle. Hua Tuo not only made the best use of some very cheap medicines, but also made the taste very delicious, without any bitter taste of medicinal materials.

"Third brother, drink less. We don't know how long this battle will last!"

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei who was about to unscrew the second one and tried to dissuade him.

"This is medicine, not a drink. As long as you don't get seasick, that's fine. There's no need to drink so much!"

Zhang Fei touched his head, put the seasickness medicine into his pocket, and then changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, I've never really seen the scenery of Jiangdong. Brother, let's go out and see what this so-called 'Jiangdong business card' looks like!"

Zhang Fei called Guan Yu out of the cabin. Guan Yu shook his head and followed Zhang Fei helplessly.

"Zhong, Chao, let's go take a look too!"

Seeing Guan Yu and the other two leave, Zhao Yun also became interested and invited Ma Chao and Huang Zhong to go out and enjoy the scenery together.

"That's true. We've been to Jiangdong so many times, but it seems we've never really appreciated the scenery there!"

"That's right. And it's said that Chibi will not only be Jiangdong's future business card, but after it's fully developed, it will even become the face of Jiangdong!"

Ma Chao and Huang Zhong ran onto the deck happily. Even though it was getting dark, they could still see the majestic and steep peaks on the island from their outlines.

"That's great!"

“It must be nice to surf here!”

“I want to settle down here!”

Huang Zhong looked at the mountain looming in the darkness and couldn't help muttering.

"What a perfect place for an ambush!"

"Hey! Why are you saying that? It really ruins the view. We have such a beautiful scenery. Why don't we take a picture?"

Ma Chao downloaded the camera from siman and then called on everyone to pose together.

"Hey, there's a shooting star!"

The picture was focusing, and Zhang Fei looked at the glowing spot in the lens and said in surprise.

"You're so stupid! How can a shooting star be this color?"

"No, it really seems to be a shooting star!"

Another thing with a long tail passed through the camera.

"How could meteors be so close to us, and so many at once!"

Ma Chao said with a smile, but the next second, he felt something was wrong. In the camera, the number of "meteors" was increasing and flying towards their location!

"Oh no! This isn't a meteor, it's a rocket! Everyone, be careful! There's an enemy attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow loaded with kerosene was immediately inserted into the deck where the Five Tiger Generals were. Immediately, the kerosene dripped and the fire began to spread.

"Dragon Tai Chi!"

Zhao Yun used his strength to immediately roll up a ball of river water from the surface and pour it on the fire, extinguishing it in an instant.

"Fortunately, the fire was not big and did not cause a major disaster!"

Ma Chao looked at the burnt deck and couldn't help but sigh.

"This kerosene is really powerful. It can even burn steel decks!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately bent down and looked at the arrow stuck on the deck. He saw a thin layer of grease on the accumulated water on the deck.

"hiss…"

Zhao Yun reached out and touched it, and his fingers were covered with pink oil, and his face changed instantly.

"Oh no, this isn't ordinary kerosene, it's the Jiangdong specialty red oil!"

"Ultimate Encyclopedia: Red Oil: A type of oil that originates from the Jiangdong region of the Silver Spacetime. It has a wide range of uses. Not only can it be used for food, but it can also be used as fuel or a combustion aid. The temperature it burns can even melt steel!"

Zhao Yun felt a tingling sensation in his fingers, which reminded him of the time when he was locked in martial arts by "Locking Maria" and was bullied by Lu Meng and several of his younger brothers.

The moves they used at that time were "Red Oil Wontons", a specialty of Jiangdong, so Zhao Yun was very sensitive to this substance.

"Quickly notify the other warships and tell them to be on guard!"

Guan Yu spoke immediately, ready to pull up his sleeves and dial siman.

"It's too late!"

Guan Yu turned his head to look at Ma Chao. From Ma Chao's direction, he could see a sky full of rockets hanging in the air, and shooting towards the warships where their troops were at an extremely fast speed.

"Swish swish swish..."

"boom!"

In an instant, many warships were hit, and soon fires broke out in various parts of the warships.

"Everyone, don't panic! Immediately use the river water from the bottom of the boat to put out the fire! I repeat, please use the river water from the bottom of the boat to put out the fire immediately!"

Cao Cao's voice was heard from the intercoms of the warships, and the leaders of the major battlefields dispatched personnel to fetch water and put out the fires.

"No, there's a special kind of kerosene in this fire. If you pour river water on it, the fire will get even bigger!"

"So are we!"

"I also!"

"Me too!"

……

Reports from various warships came through Cao Cao's siman, and the content of the Weibo posts was surprisingly consistent - river water cannot put out the fire!

"Strange, how did Zhao Yun put out the fire just now?"

Cao Cao frowned and thought hard. He heard hurried footsteps on the plywood. People kept using mops and other items to beat the burning flames, but it was still no use.
