The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 297 How to extinguish fire

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you making so much noise?"

Zhuge Liang walked out of the cabin while putting on his clothes and looked at Cao Cao with a sleepy look on his face.

"Mr. Zhuge, I'm sorry to disturb your rest!"

Cao Cao immediately stood up to greet him. He was not worried about Zhuge Liang's safety. After all, he had stationed dozens of guards in front of Zhuge Liang's door to protect him.

"Just now, Jiangdong launched an enemy attack. They fired rockets to set our ship on fire. Our troops are preparing to put out the fire!"

"Ah, is it on fire?"

Zhuge Liang realized it belatedly. Looking at the people gathered together and beating the flames, he believed that he was in danger.

"Then...then...then put out the fire quickly!"

"We wanted to, too, Mr. Zhuge, but the enemy's arrows contained a special kind of kerosene. Apart from Zhao Yun who just put out the fire, no one else could put it out with water. Now the soldiers can only desperately slap the flames to reduce their intensity!"

Cao Cao sighed. If the burning continued like this, they would have no choice but to abandon the ship to save their lives or give up some parts of the ship!

However, this would not only greatly slow down their marching speed, but would also have an impact on subsequent combat.

Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Liang with anticipation in his eyes.

"Mr. Zhuge, you are extremely intelligent. Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhuge Liang did not expect Cao Cao to ask him suddenly, so he immediately pretended not to hear it and picked up a bottle of Coke from the side.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Come and have a drink of water. This fire is making me thirsty!"

"laugh--"

Zhuge Liang unscrewed the bottle cap, and Cao Cao's eyes lit up. He knew why Zhao Yun could put out the fire with water, but others couldn't!

"Mr. Zhuge, you are indeed extremely smart!"

Cao Cao hugged Zhuge Liang excitedly, and then immediately clicked on siman to issue an order.

"Attention all soldiers, Mr. Zhuge said that Jiangdong's red oil cannot be extinguished by water alone. All water used to extinguish the fire must be infused with true Qi!"

……

"So that's how it is. Yun used his internal energy to put out the fire when he fetched water!"

Guan Yu nodded. As the saying goes, there is always a conqueror. Let’s put out the fire in Jiangdong with the water in Jiangdong!

"Mr. Zhuge is truly incredibly intelligent. We've tried so many methods, but we couldn't think of this!"

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he immediately released a stream of true energy and shot it towards the river surface, causing a wave. The flying water droplets fell on the fire, extinguishing it instantly.

"It really works!"

Huang Zhong continuously fired Ice Soul Silver Needles, which were also loaded with internal energy. Wherever the arrows reached, all the flames they encountered were extinguished.

“But it’s still too slow!”

Ma Chao splashed water again, and just as he put out part of the fire, the fire continued to spread to other parts of the warship.

"Let me do it!"

Zhang Fei widened his eyes, poured his true energy into his fists, and punched the river surface under the warship to the left and right.

""Bashan Fist"!"

Two powerful fist winds hit the water, instantly creating two huge waves. The huge waves hit a warship, shaking it a few times, but the fire on the warship was extinguished instantly.

"Third brother, be careful! You almost capsized the boat just now!"

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the warship was safe, but he still warned Zhang Fei.

"Sorry, I couldn't control myself just now!"

Zhang Fei touched his head awkwardly. No matter what the process was, the result was always good.

"In that case, let's take action quickly!"

Guan Yu looked at everyone and said that if they relied solely on the soldiers to put out the fire, not only would the speed of extinguishing the fire be very slow, but if a battle broke out, it would also have a great impact on their combat effectiveness.

"it is good!"

"Third brother and I will be in charge of the first four rows of warships, Yun will be in charge of the middle, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, you two will be in charge of the last four rows!"

"Yes!"

As Guan Yu arranged the tasks, the other three immediately used their light skills to rush to the warship behind.

"Third brother, you have to hold back a little this time!"

"I know, second brother!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both attacked. Zhang Fei once again used the Mountain-Pulling Fist, infusing his fists with true energy and punching them into the water. With a muffled sound, a water column more than 10 meters high suddenly appeared on the surface of the river.

""Xing Tian Break"! "

Guan Yu roared and slapped out with his palm, instantly breaking up the water column. The huge palm force caused the water column to splash in all directions, and the splashing river water instantly extinguished the fire on the warship.

"Dragon Tai Chi!"

Zhao Yun in the middle of the fleet also used his internal energy. His hands moved like flowing water, and his true energy continued to circulate. As he used his energy, the water on the river began to swirl, gradually forming a huge waterspout.

"Disperse!"

Zhao Yun pushed out the Tai Chi Qi in his hands, and the Tai Chi Qi immediately merged into the waterspout. The waterspout quickly rose into the air, carrying a large amount of river water to form a huge water ball in the air. Then it quickly broke open, and the river water fell like a torrential rain, extinguishing the flames on the warship.

“They succeeded, let’s do it too!”

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao looked at each other, and then used the same moves.

""Gushing Palm"! "

"A thousand arrows piercing my heart!"

Ma Chao's palms were like ghosts, constantly slapping out, stirring up splashes of water one after another, while Huang Zhong also pulled the Sun-Shooting Bow, and any fire that was missed was accurately extinguished by him.

……

"Vice President, it looks like the fires on their warships are almost out!"

Lu Meng put down the telescope, immediately ran to Zhou Yu and said to him.

"Strange, our rockets are infused with Jiangdong's specialty red oil. How did they know that only true qi could extinguish our fire?"

Gan Ning on the side was also very confused, because this secret was obviously only known to the people of Jiangdong.

"Although the red oil is difficult to crack, it's not unsolvable if you're smart enough. After all, with Cao Cao around, it's not surprising that he could think of this!"

Zhou Yu sighed, his eyes filled with worry.

"But he was able to come up with a solution so quickly. It's absolutely impossible for him to do it alone. I think Zhuge Liang must be on the boat too!"

According to Zhou Yu's plan, even if Cao Cao could think of a way to put out the fire, the fire would at least burn 30% to 40% of the warships at that time. But now, their rockets actually destroyed less than 10% of the enemy's warships.

"Then Vice President, do we need to launch another round of rockets?"

Taishi Ci asked from the side, but Zhou Yu shook his head.

"The same trick won't be as effective if used a second time. Go down and tell our brothers to load the ammunition. We're ready for battle!"
