Chapter 745: Dare not watch and test the edge

Pan Zhang, who was still sleeping soundly, was gradually awakened by the beautiful concubine beside him.

Pan Zhang was about to get angry because his sleep was disturbed, but when he heard his beautiful concubine say, "There is something important to report outside the door," his anger suddenly subsided.

Pan Zhang knew that anyone who dared to disturb him at this time must be his confidant.

And if there was nothing fishy going on, the word "important matter" would not have come out of the mouth of the confidant.

After realizing this, Pan Zhang quickly got up from the couch. After his beautiful concubine beside him dressed him, Pan Zhang walked out of the room.

Pan Zhang, who had just arrived outside the room, saw strange expressions on the faces of several of his confidants.

"What happened?

Could it be that something has changed in Yongan?"

Pan Zhang asked subconsciously, with the hidden worry in his heart.

After hearing Pan Zhang's question, those confidants looked at each other but did not give Pan Zhang a clear answer.

"General, please go to the city wall and take a look!"

Since he is Pan Zhang's confidant, he naturally would not hide anything from Pan Zhang.

Therefore, several confidants did not directly answer Pan Zhang's question, proving that they really didn't know how to answer it.

Pan Zhang knew this.

The abnormal reactions of his confidants increased Pan Zhang's suspicion.

But at this point, Pan Zhang had no worries in his heart.

Pan Zhang just wanted to find out what was going on and dispel his doubts.

So Pan Zhang strode forward and walked towards the city wall with a few of his confidants.

When Pan Zhang got up, the sky was just a little bright, and when Pan Zhang came to the city wall, the sunlight in the sky had already dispelled the darkness that had originally shrouded Jingzhou.

The bright sunlight allowed Pan Zhang to have an unobstructed view.

After arriving at the city wall, Pan Zhang took the lead and looked towards the direction of Yong'an.

It is obvious that compared to the elderly Lu Dai, Pan Zhang is more willing to believe in the iron chains and iron spikes in the Yangtze River.

But soon, after being reminded by his confidant, Pan Zhang's gaze suddenly changed direction.

When Pan Zhang's gaze finally looked in the right direction, he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

In Pan Zhang's sight, he found that in the water area that was previously full of iron chains, there were actually some bright lights jumping around at this moment.

Based on Pan Zhang's many years of military experience, it was not difficult for him to judge that the faint light was most likely fire.

But why did flames appear on the vast river?

This is unscientific!

This is also the reason why several of Pan Zhang’s confidants came to see Pan Zhang out of surprise.

Just when several confidants wanted to ask Pan Zhang the reason, they didn't notice that Pan Zhang's face was becoming increasingly uglier.

It may seem incredible that fire can appear on the water, but it is not.

As the whistling cold wind blew towards Pan Zhang's face, a look of reminiscence appeared in Pan Zhang's eyes.

That night seemed as cold as today, and the firelight on the Yangtze River was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

Battle of Red Cliffs!

Pan Zhang, who participated in this famous battle, couldn't help but associate the scene before him with that night many years ago.

And as if in response to Pan Zhang's contact, as time passed, in Pan Zhang's eyes on the city wall, the flame burning on the water was becoming bigger and bigger.

It was so big that every Wu soldier on the city wall watched this scene.

The bright flames kept jumping on the vast surface of the river, as if foreshadowing something.

The smoke and dust produced by the burning was like a thick dark cloud, covering the area of ​​the Yangtze River.

Pan Zhang was a veteran general of the Eastern Wu, and he had personally participated in the Battle of Chibi. The scene he saw made his ominous premonition grow stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, Pan Zhang remembered Mi Yang's reputation in the world.

"Since the Jian'an Period, Mi Zisheng is the best fire expert in the world!"

This is not only Mi Yang's reputation, but also a fact recognized by countless people in the world!

When the ominous premonition in his heart combined with this indisputable fact, Pan Zhang seemed to think of a terrible possibility in an instant.

This possibility made Pan Zhang so frightened that he covered his chest and his body trembled slightly.

Pan Zhang covered his chest, turned around suddenly, looked at his confidant behind him and asked:

"Where are our navy?"

When asking this question, Pan Zhang's eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and his tone was miserable.

Pan Zhang's current expression scared the confidants behind him.

"Most of our navy has been taken to the public security by the general!"

Yes, the water system around Gong'an is complex, and only the joint advance of the army by land and sea can completely trap the isolated city of Gong'an.

This was Lu Xun's established strategy, and Pan Zhang couldn't have been unaware of it, so why did he ask this question?

The confidant's answer completely shattered the only remaining fantasy in Pan Zhang's heart.

"Hurry up and send the order to have all the warships in Zhouling Port leave the port!"

Pan Zhang gritted his teeth and gave the order.

But after hearing what Pan Zhang said, the confidant hesitated subconsciously:

"General! Most of the ships left in the port are used for transportation. Where are the warships?"

The confidant didn't know why Pan Zhang was so nervous.

Besides, what he said was true.

With the preparations of iron spikes sunk to the bottom and iron chains across the river, Lu Xun was quite confident about the waters from Jiangling to Zhouling.

Since they were at ease, how could they leave the Wu army's powerful warships to gather dust in the port of Zhouling?

Seeing that his confidant was still hesitating at this moment, Pan Zhang was so angry that he kicked him away.

"Hurry up and pass the order! It will be too late if you are slow!

All ships that can move, leave the port!"

What is Pan Zhang afraid of?

What he feared was that Mi Yang would create a miracle again.

Pan Zhang's anger scared away the remaining confidants and they went to pass on the message.

After several confidants left, Pan Zhang stood up and looked towards the water area filled with fireworks again.

At this moment, Pan Zhang couldn't help but recall the funny conversation he had with some of his close associates a few days ago.

"I wish to watch the fireworks of Jingzhou in Gong'an City at the end of the year."

Fireworks in Jingzhou?

That’s what he saw at that moment!

But at this moment, Pan Zhang's heart was filled with endless regret.

If he had known that the fireworks in Jingzhou would be so dazzling, how could he dare or be willing to watch them!

Fearing Pan Zhang's wrath, several of Pan Zhang's confidants moved at the fastest speed in their lives.

They arrived at the port as quickly as possible and requisitioned hundreds of "warships" as quickly as possible.

However, when these trusted men, with hundreds of warships, just sailed out of the port, the scene before them frightened them so much that their legs went numb and their arms began to tremble.

Amid the fireworks of Jingzhou that covered the sky, one Han army warship after another was advancing forward, constantly emerging from the fireworks and charging towards them.

When the fireworks that blocked out the sun and the sky faded away, what appeared before the eyes of those confidants were thousands of warships covering the sky and the river!

Countless Han army flags were fluttering in the wind, and countless Han army soldiers were shouting on the waves.

"Today, please let Wu Gou test the power of the Han navy!"

　I only have one day off during the May Day holiday, and that is today.

　　It’s a rare holiday, so I’ll just write a short chapter today.
