In the battle room, the discussion was still underway.
Jia Xu smiled, “Monarch, if you want Liu Bei to strike, Guan Yu is a really good point of attack."
When Ouyang Shuo heard these words, his eyes lit up.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the god brothers of Liu Bei. He had a close bond with these two. The moment that something happened to Guan Yu, Ouyang Shuo did not believe that Liu Bei could restraint himself.
"Then for the battle tomorrow, you two need to n it out well." Ouyang Shuo ordered.
"Do not worry Monarch!"
Zheng He used this chance to introduce the battle n he had discussed with Jia Xu. After a short while, both of them bid goodbye to prepare for the battle tomorrow.
Yunmeng River.
Just as Ouyang Shuo was ready to destroy Huang Gai, the Zhou Yu Army was only a day away from Jiangling City. The battle that had been festering for such a long time was going to explode, and it would even change the entire Red Cliff situation.
In the end, Jiangling was the true main battlefield of this battle and gathered close to 90 percent of both sides. The results of this battle would determine the end result of this battle map.
When they received the intel, the atmosphere in Jiangling City instantly tensed up.
Cao Cao personally took charge of Jiangling, Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Cao Dun, Wen Pin, and other important generals were all there. The 200 thousand yer forces had received the order and had moved into the city.
The entire Jiangling City instantly transformed into a giant barracks, and grain gathered from all around Jingzhou was transported over for the army to consume.
When he received the news of the Lu Su Army falling, Cao Cao''s confidence rose, and he was determined to fight with the Sun Liu Alliance Army here.
After a few days of rest and the motivation from the navy victory, the Cao Army morale had risen.
Hence, Cao Cao was really confident about this battle.
……
Within Jiangling City, the yer camp.
Within the tent, Caiyun Zinan was delighted, “Zi Fang is truly a god in predicting things. We followed your n and Cao Ren really agreed."
When Zhang Liang heard these words, he smiled and did not speak.
Seeing the Lord being so excited, a look of helplessness appeared in Zhang Liang''s eyes.
Too focused on the small things, he looks nothing like a true ruler, Zhang Liang sighed in his heart.
Caiyun Zinan, who was caught up in his tion, did not notice the expression of his advisor, “This time, I''ll make Shanhai Alliance trip and fall."
13th day of the battle map, Changjiang Red Cliff.
A huge squadron was traveling on the river surface, stretching miles. On the warship, there were massive gs; the first half of the gs was ‘Huang’ and the other half was ‘Guan’.
This was the Alliance Army of Huang Gai and Guan Yu.
Guan Yu followed Liu Bei instructions and led four thousand naval forces as the vanguard. The army had finally caught up to the Huang Gai Army before they reached Red Cliff.
Unfortunately, because of the conflict from before, Huang Gai was not delighted with Guan Yu''s arrival.
Guan Yu was also an arrogant person and had not wanted toe. If it was not for Liu Bei forcing him, he would not havee out. Seeing Huang Gai''s attitude, Guan Yu was all the more furious.
The army did not even merge together with the Huang Gai Army and just traveled behind.
Between the two armies, there were a few kilometers of space.
Like what the Cima Boats had investigated, Huang Gai did not know what had happened to Red Cliff. After reaching the water path in front of Red Cliff, the army did not stop and continued forward.
Along the way, they did not see a single warship.
This did not surprise Huang Gai.
The ambush tactic designed by the Yanhuang Alliance was obviously one that Huang Gai and Lu Su knew about. Hence, seeing that Wulin Fortress was still fine, he did not suspect anything.
He did not even face a single warship along the way.
With that, this was a small part of the n; the goal was to not raise the suspicion of the Cao Cao Army.
After entering Red Cliff, Huang Gai stood on deck and smiled, “I''ve finally reached Red Cliff! Sound the drums and tell the yers that we are here to help. Ask them to open the gates of the fortress."
"Yes general!"
During the entire process, only Gong Chengshi, who stood beside Huang Gai, had a weird expression.
Sometimes, too normal was not normal.
After spending so much time with Ouyang Shuo, Gong Chengshi understood his big brother''s personality. Ouyang Shuo liked to n out the battles and never fought battles he had no confidence in.
Not seeing the Shanhai City Squadron already shocked Gong Chengshi. When he saw Red Cliff, the uneasiness in his heart intensified.
Only through various considerations did Gong Chengshi not tell his worries to Huang Gai.
When the fortress gates opened and arge number of warships charged out of Wulin and Red Cliff, they finally realized that they had fallen into a trap.
Although all the high level warships in China came from the Shanhai City shipyard and looked the same, Gong Chengshi had a huge feeling that it was the Shanhai City Squadron in front of them.
The squadrons on both sides gathered into their formations. Quickly, they left the Alliance Army without the room to move.
"Is there a need to have such a grand wee ceremony?" Huang Gai had some doubts. However, thanks to his intuition as a general, he also smelled that something was up.
Unfortunately, it was already toote.
The warships raised an eye-catching golden dragon g that fluttered in the wind. At the same time, they hollered, “You have been surrounded, surrender now!"
"Not good!"
Huang Gai''s face instantly became ugly.
"Attack, quickly attack!" Huang Gai was extremely ferocious and did not even think about giving up.
The archers quickly reacted, taking out their bow and arrows and attacking the warships on both sides. Unfortunately, their actions were useless.
The moment the arrow rain rose, cannons fired.
With such proximity, in addition to the Huang Gai and Guan Yu''s armies being pincered, there were no strategic maneuvers they could perform. After just the first round of cannons, they suffered heavy losses.
Under themand of Zheng He, only the two gships were perfectly fine.
This round of cannon fire had stunned Huang Gai and caused his heart to turn cold. He finally knew how the strong Lu Su Army fell.
"Listen up, quickly surrender, or do not me the cannons for being merciless."
After a round of cannon fire, the words carried more weight.
An uproar rose in the Alliance Army. The soldiers were not fools, and they could see that they had no chance of them winning. If they tried, only death awaited them.
At this moment, whether to surrender or not was not up to Huang Gai and Guan Yu. Even if they did not agree, the soldiers would just surrender. They might even tie up the two of them to im credit.
Huang Gai''s face was ashen white; his heart was as dead as ash.
Guan Yu''s face became redder and redder like that of an iron branding.
The following story was not an exception.
After that short conflict, both armies surrendered and were easily taken down.
The entire processsted for less than an hour.
Without a doubt, this was the easiest battle for Shanhai City. If they wanted to me someone, they could only me Huang Gai for being too careless.
Dragon Head, top deck.
Huang Gai, Guan Yu, and other important people were brought up and handed over to the Monarch.
Amongst them, there was also Gong Chengshi.
The two of them were allies but the current situation did not allow for much. Ouyang Shuo was nice and did not say much, just sending him down with the rest.
Following which, Ouyang Shuo looked at Guan Yu.
When taking down Guan Yu, they had lost 50 Divine Martial Guards.
After all, he was a top-ss general with greatbat strength.
To prevent more deaths, the Divine Martial Guards had to use the god arm crossbows to take him down. Hence, his body was covered with the signs of battle, and there were no less than five arrowheads embedded in his body.
Even so, Guan Yu did not even frown.
Although this person was arrogant, he had the ability to do so. Just this point showed there he was a great warrior. However, that did not equate to being a good general.
"Guan Yu, will you surrender?" Ouyang Shuo looked at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu raised his head; his eyes were filled with killing intent. Along with the killing aura around him, it was alluring. If a schr stood in front of him, he would not even be able to stand still.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo had been through so much and seen so much. Hence, his killing aura had no effect on Ouyang Shuo, and his expression remained calm.
Guan Yu was a little surprised, but he did not think too much about it. He took a look at Ouyang Shuo and turned around to spit, showing his disdain; his expression was truly arrogant.
"Preposterous!"
The Divine Martial Guards immediately raised their des to his neck.
Hen! Guan Yu scoffed, not bothering about the nk, “Just kill me if you want. In your dreams I''ll surrender!"
"Good, what an upright man!" Ouyang Shuo pped; instantly, his expression turned cold, “Since that''s the case, drag him down and behead him."
This change happened so quickly.
"Yes Monarch!"
The Divine Martial Guards hated him; after all, they had lost so many brothers to capture him.
Hen! Guan Yu scoffed once more.
However, the sharp Ouyang Shuo noticed that his right hand shook.
Ouyang Shuoughed; it seemed like he was not totally unafraid of dying. If Guan Yu thought he would be as polite to him as Cao Cao, he would be wrong.
After a short while, Guan Yu''s head was put into a wooden box and sent back to the deck.
When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he told Zheng He, “Send someone to send this head to Liu Bei."
"Understood!"
Looking at this, Liu Bei would be furious.
When Jia Xu saw this Lord’s actions, he could not help but be shocked at Ouyang Shuo''s decisiveness. This was Guan Yu, a presence that shocked the Three Kingdoms, and Ouyang Shuo just killed him like that without blinking.
