Qiao Feng, who was on the side, couldn't help but muttered: "This Cao Mengde doesn't even have ordinary training, so just drive these militiamen onto the boat!"

Liu Rui nodded, this is the four prisoners who were looking at him.

The four of them did not suffer any punishment, but they all looked extremely frightened. Seeing Liu Rui at this moment, they even begged for mercy.

"I'm Liu Rui. Listening to your accent, it seems that you are all from Qingzhou!" Liu Rui said indifferently.

Hearing Liu Rui's words, the four of them were obviously taken aback.

"Uncle Liu, Caomin doesn't know anything, then Cao Cao arrested us in the army. If we don't do our best, we will be beheaded, and Caomin won't dare to resist!"

"Uncle Huang, you have saved millions of people in Gunzhou. You must also know what happened to us people who were harmed by that Cao Cao! Please forgive us!"

"Uncle Huang, Caomin is willing to take refuge with Uncle Huang. We were caught by Cao Cao, and we didn't want to die for him, but those officers forced us, we dare not resist!"

A loud prayer made Liu Rui's face soften.

Looking at Guo Jia and Mei Changsu next to him, he saw that both of them nodded slowly.

This is Liu Rui who said: "Chasing your life, Qiao Feng, let's untie them all!"

Chasing and Qiao Feng were stunned for a moment, but then they both reacted.Subconsciously, they were all afraid that these captured prisoners would hurt Liu Rui, but at this moment, when Liu Rui reminded them, they suddenly thought of coming over. With Liu Rui's skills, people in this world who want to hurt Liu Rui are afraid It hasn't made a sound yet!

After the prisoners were released, they were naturally grateful to Liu Rui.Liu Rui looked at the four of them again and said in a low voice, "I know that you were all forced by Cao Cao, but I have encountered some problems now, and I hope you can answer me honestly!"

Hearing Liu Rui's words, the eldest of the four, the eldest one of the captives, knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "Uncle Huang is a wise ruler of the world, and he cares a lot about our people, just ask, as long as Caomin knows, and will definitely answer!"

"Yeah, Uncle, we don't have much ability, but we are willing to work for a master like Uncle!"

Hearing the words of these prisoners, Liu Rui smiled slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Do you know what this Cao Mengde is going to do this time?"

The prisoners looked at each other in dismay, and the eldest pondered for a while before he said in a low voice, "Uncle Huang, we don't know what they are going to do, but then Cao Mengde used our family in Qingzhou to force us to let us We will arrange dry firewood and oil on the warship, and when it hits Uncle Huang's warship, we will set the firewood on fire!"

"So, Cao Cao was preparing for this a long time ago?" Guo Jiameng asked.

The middle-aged prisoner also hurriedly said: "Yes, Caomin's hometown is on the coast of Qingzhou, so he knows some knowledge of shipbuilding. When Cao Cao was building a ship, he had already put these dry wood in it!"

"My lord, it seems that this Cao Mengde has a plan. If this continues, I am afraid that our navy will not be able to fight, otherwise we will suffer a big loss if we exchange with the opponent like this!" Guo Jia shook his head helplessly.

Liu Rui nodded, looked at the captives again, and asked, "Since Cao Cao did this, wouldn't you also have no way out?"

"Uncle Huang, then Cao Mengde threatens us with our family, and we can't do anything about it!" Several prisoners hugged and cried.

Liu Rui sighed and said helplessly: "Don't worry, when I catch Cao Mengde and Jia Wenhe who made this poisonous scheme, I will definitely send them to Qingzhou to relieve the people!"

Those prisoners all kowtowed with gratitude and gratitude, and Liu Rui knew that these people didn't have much information, so even if he didn't say more, he just waved his hands to let Chasing and Qiao Feng let them go.

These people are just poor soldiers. They were originally forced to join Cao Cao's army. Now that they have a chance to escape, they naturally won't go back again.

After a few prisoners were taken away, Liu Rui was looking at Guo Jia and Mei Changsu next to him, and said coldly, "Fengxiao, it seems we have to find a way to deal with this Cao Cao!"

Mei Changsu shook his head helplessly and said, "The so-called ruthlessness of fire and water, in this naval battle, once the fire cannot be put out in time, it will be difficult to continue the fight, unless we have a better way! We can eliminate the fire within a period of time!"

Speaking of this, Liu Rui also sighed helplessly, but Guo Jia, who was on the side, couldn't help but clapped his hands and smiled and said, "My lord, have you forgotten what we prepared?"

Liu Rui was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he asked incredulously, "Fengxiao, are you talking about the mud I mentioned to Master Lu Ban last time?"

Guo Jia nodded his head and laughed loudly: "Master Lu Ban has already studied this matter, but there is no need for one, so I put it aside for the time being. Now that I think about it, the lord is really planning ahead. everything!"

Liu Rui was stunned again, and then he sighed helplessly: "This is my fault. If we could have equipped fire prevention measures earlier, how could we have suffered such a big loss today!"

962: The Navy Fights Again

What Liu Rui and Guo Jia said was a method of fire prevention and extinguishing on warships that Liu Rui specially explained to Lu Ban to study earlier.

As early as when Cao Cao, Sun Ce and other lords were in Chibi, Liu Rui told Lu Ban to solve various problems of the warships on fire.

Lu Ban had already developed it, but in order to keep busy with the flame catapult, everyone forgot about it.

At this moment, when Guo Jia mentioned it, Liu Ruideng smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't forgotten about this, our soldiers wouldn't have to lose so much this time."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "My lord, don't blame yourself. Although we have suffered a loss now, we have also let Cao Mengde get carried away. When he chased General and General Qiao Feng to capture prisoners, he saw the entire Chibi Camp with his own eyes. We are all celebrating, so it can be seen that Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others probably think that we have nothing to do."

"What Feng Xiao said is very true, but now we still need to test how effective this fire prevention method is!" Liu Rui pondered for a moment before speaking.

And Guo Jiamei, Changsu and the others also nodded.

"Fengxiao, you are going to prepare a few ships now, remember to put more fuel, and then we will have a good test!" Liu Rui looked at Guo Jia and instructed.

Guo Jia handed over, and then started to go out to prepare.

And Liu Rui also asked Lu Ban to transport the fire-fighting equipment. Speaking of which, the idea of ​​this fire-fighting equipment was conceived by Liu Rui. At the beginning, Liu Rui was worried that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce would use the fire attack strategies in the original work, so he specially discussed with Lu Ban. over this.

It's just that Liu Rui was busy with the war later. Although Lu Ban had reported it, it did not attract Liu Rui's attention.It was not until this time that Cao Cao's army forced the militiamen to commit suicide and charge that Liu Rui thought of it again.

With Liu Rui's order, several damaged ships were quickly selected among the navy for testing purposes.

"My lord, that big wooden barrel is here to hold the mud. Most of the flames ignited by Cao Cao's army are kerosene. This kind of thing, ordinary splashing water can't put out the flames for a while, but if you replace it with mud , the effect will be ten times and a hundred times better!" At this moment, Lu Ban was standing beside Liu Rui and introduced the functions of these devices to him.

Looking at the huge wooden barrel hanging on the mast, Liu Rui couldn't help but smile and said: "I was worried about how to make these muds spray out, but I didn't expect Master Lu Ban to solve it like this. simple."

Lu Ban smiled and said, "My lord, I designed several spray pressure schemes, but the results were all unsatisfactory. Finally, I was seen by a veteran in the army. The veteran farmed at home in his early years, and he inadvertently said a word , just let me slack off!"

Liu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, that should be rewarded heavily!"

Lu Ban also nodded.

During the gap between the two of them, the fire-fighting equipment on the warship had already been installed.
