**************************** He Jin acknowledged Ba Zeng, who somehow got onto his ship after departing. The politician must have had some sort of motorized boat. Possibly crafted by the talented Zhuge Liang? Either way, he was there like a wart growing on one’s hand. Sure, you could nibble at it but it would keep coming back! “Have I seen you before?” the Commander said, puzzled that he thought seeing the same man on the shores only hours ago. The Han leader chuckled a bit, as the man wanted to accompany HIM into battle. However, after witnessing the 007 like tactics and skill of Zeng with his crossbow he looked back to him. “Very well, you are hired!”It was just then, during the joyous river boat ride across to the other side, that a soldier spotted what looked to be something bad. The level of bad could not be determined just yet, but it could be set to very, very bad. To each side of He Jin’s boat were allied ships, as only but a few expected such an attack, so even if he wanted to turn it would be futile. He panicked, but still ordered some men to get water showing his veteran status. Even though the boats were headed straight for the large fleet, everyone still had time to look ahead when seeing and hearing a large commotion. It seemed the two allied officers to have left the shores first had paid for their miscalculations dearly. Dagoth Ur’s ship, which headed straight into the enemy, caught fire after Zhuo troops jumped aboard. Swordsmen went about their dirty business, slaying many who were left behind after Dagoth abandoned the vessel. It was at that point that the attention shifted to Zhang Jiao who also was going to ram into the enemy ships. The move was risky, to say the least, and when the boats collided enemy swordsmen would jump onto his ship! Time seemed to slow, as a piece of flaming debris flew through the air heading from Zhuo’s boat toward one of Jiao’s soldiers. The soldier’s eyes buldged, as the embers of the burning projectile raged and illuminate due to the oxygen. He started to do a move, sort of like the Matrix, but the piece ended up hitting him and setting him ablaze! Just as Zhang Jiao’s boat was getting boarded by enemy swords the mast from the fire ship came crashing down and crushed many of them! Now, the Great Teachers boat was glowing on the river like a firefly caught in a cup of wine? No clue. However, just as Jiao’s situation was dire Gongsun Zan came to his rescue. The northern general took his boat on the outer edges of the fleet and rammed the enemy……which was burning…..and deadly. “Ahhhh! The flames!” a Zan soldier yelled, but was soaking wet with his own urine and hiding beside the captain's wheel. Now both boats were stuck against the two chained ships, one of which was now swinging around because of the connection to the other! It was heading toward the side of Jiao's boat! Wei Yan’s soldiers, acting quickly to make a difference, were able to move out of the direct line of fire. However, they collided with Lu Meng’s ship who was turning to aid He Jin and both were heading toward disaster! Luckily they were toward the center of two connected groups, where there was an opening. The problem was, enemy swordsmen were close and jumping aboard the ship! The Xiahou brothers were also quite lucky, as they were near a crazed warrior by the name of Qu Yi. They would benefit from his attack upon an enemy ship with a bizarre tactic. It was actually quite effective, sending wounded or dead enemies overboard from projectiles and the impact. But now the general, ally to Zhang He, would be stranded in a deadlock with enemy swords ready to jump down upon him! And, they did just that! No, let us not forget about the brave and valiant Zhang Ren. He was all of that and more, upon the shore. Unfortunately, it was river time…..bitch! His vessel, which had a few arrows coming from it, not like the 50 in return, was heading for the chained connection between two of the enemy boats. The front of the boat ripped apart as the chains held true momentarily, but finally they snapped. He was clear! Unfortunately, some enemy swordsmen were jumping aboard his ship! Lu Zhi was on the boat to He Jin’s left and would have to watch, in despair, as the Grand Commander’s ship headed toward disaster. His boat was somewhat in the clear, but not from arrows! They rained down upon his men and wreaked havoc with their morale. Daydream…………………“Ba Zeng! Save yourself!” He Jin yelled, throwing the politician overboard! Damn, Jin snapped back to reality and ordered his men to prepare for battle. He would board the enemy ships as they would his and a major battle would ensue! “For glory!!” he yelled, before his eyes bulged from the sockets. The enemy boat crushed into his, causing most of his men to fall over, and the mast to the fire ship broke. It was heading down upon his ship! “Take cover!” the captain yelled. He looked something like Captain Jack, but more Chinese. Zhou Tai was probably reading the battle, upon his vessel, thinking that the writer had forgotten him. Oh, no, he was not forgotten. Even if there were now some many more fire ships then what was portrayed, there was enough to hit everyone! The second ship, connected to the one that hit He Jin, was heading toward his! Enemy swordsmen jumped out and some flaming archers. No, not gay, but literally on fire, jumped onto his ship and right into some wooden….stuff! The allied fleet is getting RAPED by Dong Zhuo’s fire attack! Abandon ship? Help an ally? Die? The shore is not too far if you have to swim!

Devastation.... no other way to put it, the allied fleet was in shambles. Hopefully they had stored reinforcements resting on the bank behind them. Since he had backed his boat up he was still unscathed in the scuffle he had a plan.
"Good, now left side row forward, right side row backward so we rotate upon the water, about 45 degrees and then break to the right side of the allied formation, hopefully under the confusing surcomstances we'll land down river and can storm the postion there launching these fire ships from. My the gods have mercy upon the han forces."
As his men began follow the orders as best they could Xiahou Dun just began thinking about what he just ordered. He needed luck not to be seen, talented seamen to pull it off quickly, more luck to land down river unseen, and some of the best fighters in all of china to storm the area were Dong Zhou was launching boats off. In his thought process he lost focus and when they stopped rotating and began moving again he lost his footing but it awoke him.
"Right good job, let the sails loose again. Let's go double time."
He then turned back to watch the sea 'battle' unfold and and said lowly so only he could hear it.
"I don't like trusting my luck, but sometimes you have to."
After backing up Xiahou Dun has turned to sail south and hopefully land unnoticed by the forces of Dong Zhou

The fire and the smoke almost smothered the cries of men. Almost.
An Bo was sitting on Lu Meng's boat, kneeling on both knees, his hands folded across his lap. He seemed to ignore the chaos that surrounded him. The soldiers on the boat went about the business of war, and An Bo watched them.
These men fight rather differently then the Japanese he had grown up with. There every clash was ordered and conducted along the lines of class. There samurai and their egos clashed. Here it was different. Though these massed men were but pawns in the greater political game of war, they fought with passion. Perhaps he had made the right choice. Perhaps. After all, any dog can bark if trained properly. Time would tell. An Bo thought to himself.
An Bo could sense the wary gaze of his host every now and again. Lu Meng had no right to trust him, but that mattered not to him. All that mattered was the important business he had, and no one or no army would stand in his way.
An Bo waited, and watched.

"See!? I told you they had a trap for us!"
Zhang Fei pointed his pike at the ensuing carnage that Dong Zhuo's Fire Ships had caused.The Shu Soldiers aboard Fei's ship began murmuring amongst themselves about the situation.
Fei turned his horse sideways and called out to the sailors controlling the ship.
"Go around em'! We can't help them now,there are too many flames and horses can't swim good! I'd hate to be on one of those ships...."
The Shu General's Vessel moved along the river,downstream in the East.Fei and his men could only watch the Sea Battle as they made their way towards the beaches in the Northeast.

Yarr Harr Shiver Dee Dee Being A Pirate Is Alright To Me...
Zhang Ren, at the front of his vessel, came to the sudden realization that he was perhaps... Screwed. He continued to fire off his arrows taking out a few more Zhou troops, before his ship smashed into the chains of the fire ships. Everyone on board fell over or at least stumbled. Ren himself almost went over board but managed to just barely grab onto the rail.
Falling back aboard Ren noticed his vessel continuing forward, though very slowly. He also noticed the Imperial troops jumping onto his ship. Zhang drew his sword as he began yelling at his troops. "God damn it defend the ship." Some of Ren's troops already were, others were still struggling to their feet. Ren rushed to one side of his ship and cut down one of the Imperial ship boarders. Ren continued on, his sword piercing the heart of a boarder who was having a duel with one on Ren's troops. Ren and his men began to hack away at the boarders, pushing them back to their own ship.
Meanwhile, Ren's ship had a hole in it that was very slowly filling with water, as well as Ren's rowers where still rowing, taking Ren and his ship away from the fire ships.-Zhang Ren and his ship got boarded. -Zhang Ren began to beat back the invaders as his ship continued past the fire ships. -Zhang Ren's ship is slowly filling with water, hopefully there is enough time to reach the shore.

As the ship came towards his, Zhou Tai had to think quick. "Zei Fang! Cut the chain connecting those boats with your spear. It's tight enough right now so that it should just snap. SOLDIERS! Quickly, turn the ship so that the flaming one will pass by and not broadside us."
His men knew to do something when they were told, and began to row like their lives depended on it (which they did). As they got close enough to the chain for Zei Fang to reach it, he slammed his spear into it. The speed of the spear and the sheer strength Zei Fang wielded it with should snap it right off. Then, the boat would be forced to travel straight, and as it did that, Zhou Tai's troops were pushing the ship clock-wise so that the enemy ship would, hopefully, pass by. However, as the archers began to jump on the ships in a Kamikaze-esque move, Zhou Tai and Zei Fang began to protect their men as Zhou Tai began giving more orders.
As Zei Fang slammed his spear into flaming archers, he was glad that the men had dropped their buckets, sloshing water all over the deck. As he pused flaming archers off the ship,. Zhou Tai was doing the same with his sword. Then, Zhou Tai began giving orders again. "QUICKLY, MEN! Once we are facing straight again, begin to row towards the enemy shore! The direness of this situation is mroe then you all can possibly fathom. However, I can guarentee you all that we will see the light of day if we can reach that shore! And men, if I give the word, you must trust me and leap off the ship. Your oar will give you some sort of bouyancy, but we must all reach that shorte alive!" He said as he kicked one archer off the boat while slicing another on in the neck... and then pushing the dead body off the boat.
*Zhou Tai is refusing to give up! He will reach the enemy shore at all costs!*

There was a jolt as Qu Yi's forward ships collided with the nearest fireship. Fortunately for the men aboard his boats, they were prepared for the impact. The men aboard the fireship weren't so lucky; the confusion of their captain's sudden and unexpected demise completely masked Qu Yi's surge forward, and a number of men were thrown into the river upon collision. More soon joined them as Qu's archers let fire their arrows. As the fire engulfed the forward ships, Qu Yi drew his twin blades and bade his men do the same. The archers prepared for another volley as the men of Dong Zhuo finally regained control and attacked. Luckily for Qu Yi, their much more numerous opponents were forced to cross the now-burning forward ships, hindering them and herding them into relatively small groups. Yes, herding them, thought Qu Yi to himself, like the swine they are. Dong's men did indeed look a shade punier than the tried-and-true veterans under Qu Yi's command. He raised one of his blades and waited. "Steady...steady..." he urged his men, "Alright, FIRE!" He dropped his arm, while simultaneously dropping into a crouch. The swordsmen behind him did the same as the archers in the back of the boat fired a volley directly at the advancing enemy. The first wave was wiped out, and before the second could recover, Qu leaped toward them, followed by his swordsmen. "Charge!" Though the forces involved were much smaller than in any previous encounter, the fighting aboard the burning vessel was no less fierce. In such close quarters, it could even be said to be more fierce. Qu Yi ducked an blow from one soldier and replied with a horizontal slash that left the man without knees, then sprung forward and struck at the next soldier. His first blow was warded off by a shield, but when the man tried to counterattack, he found Qu's other blade already racing to meet his heart. Qu rushed further forward with the man still impaled, using the body to knock over a trio of men who came at him. Before they could rise, he had dispatched two of them, and the third was slain a moment later. Unfortunately, despite the great valor being shown by Qu Yi and his men, they were hopelessly outnumbered. Without swift aid, they would soon be overrun. * * * * * Zhang He had to admit, despite the dire situation the allies now faced, there was a certain grim beauty to the burning fleet he now gazed upon. Had the failed night raid been a lure, or was this simply superb improvisation on the part of Dong Zhuo's forces? Regardless, is would take more than a couple of surprise attacks to get the better of Zhang Junyi! His main ship surged forward to assist the allies, followed by the forces of Zhang Liao and Xifeng Yue. Observing their positions, Junyi regrettably could not spot the tiny scouting force led by Qu Yi. Hopefully, his lieutenant would be competent enough to fend for himself. In the meantime, Junyi saw Gongsun Zan ram one of the attacking ships. Unfortunately, it seemed that this action was threatening Zhang Jiao. No ship could possibly get there fast enough to save the Taoist madman. That is, no normal ship. "Oh, how I hoped we would be able to use these..." Zhang He laughed, then turned to his men. "Gentlemen, it is time to deploy... them." "Gasp!" "No! Not them!" "Um...what are they again?" "Shut up, Bao." The identity of them soon became apparent: Zhang He's flagship appeared to sprout wings as rows of twin oars were deployed from either sides of the boat. The the tips of the oars were carved in the shape of butterflies, a touch added by Junyi himself. The men began to row as Zhang He cheered them on. "Stroke! Stroke! You're doing beautifully!" cried Junyi as the ship moved to intercept the burning ram that was about to collide with Zhang Jiao. "Ha ha!" Half a moment before impact, Junyi made a twirling flip from the prow of his ship. With a crash, the speeding vessel rammed the flaming barge, knocking down most of the latter's occupants. Before they could rise, Junyi fell into their midst. While his men surged onto the ship, Junyi began the work of clearing the ship by landing atop a fallen enemy sailor and making certain that the man wouldn't rise again. - Qu Yi and his men make a bold (and potentially last) stand against one of the fire ships. He is in dire need of assistance!
- Utilizing unorthodox methods, Zhang He intercepts the ship that was set to smash Zhang Jiao, then boards it!Zhang He's Troops: 80 Spear and Shield Veterans 40 Bow veterans 20 Sword and Shield veterans Qu Yi's Troops: 20 Sword and Shield Veterans 20 Bow Veterans

Ba Zeng was finally pleased that He Jin acknowledged, umm, he wasn't pleased that he didn't recognize him. Zeng rolled his eyes, "I'm sure we've seen each other, I was the Emperor's palace consultant, famed diplomat and politician, no?"
I even invented that motorboat I followed you on.
After wasting a whole cartage of bolts on Dong Zhou's archers, he reloaded his crossbow. The enemy was closing in. He braced himself when the enemy ship smashed into theres. Soldiers from both sides jumped to the other's ship, intent on demolishing the other force.
Ba Zeng shot a Zhou soldier who leaped to He Jin's ship in the heart in midair. He clinched his chest and hit the railing of the ship hard.
Thud.
The poor fella fell and met his watery grave. The mechanism in Zeng's crossbow pulled back the sling and another bolt took its place. The timing was perfect, he shot another bolt into a soldier was attempting to board. He met the same fate as well. The crossbow reloaded itself again.
This is ridiculous, just end it Ba Zeng... Ba Zeng raised his crossbow to He Jin who was fighting enemy soldiers like a wild men, every around him was fighting, they didn't even realize Ba Zeng's crossbow was leveled to He Jin's head.
Someone bumpt into Ba Zeng, he shot his bolt, it went into the neck of a soldier He Jin was fighting. Ba Zeng lost his balance and he hit the railing, Uh-oh he tipped over and Ba Zeng was free falling towards the water.
His back hit the water with a splash and he was suck in about 5 yards deep into the water, he lost all his breath on impact and tried to take a deep breathe. The only thing wrong with that was he was under water. He gulped down a mouthful of water and some entered his lungs. Immediately he sick to his stomach, he was losing himself. He finally got a hold of himself and moved his legs. C'mon Ba Zeng you know how to swim!
Another underwater body hit Ba Zeng, the figure held Ba Zeng tightly and propelled them to the surface, the two boats side to side only made it a yard between ships. Sorta hard to maneuver. Ba Zeng wiped the water from his eyes, the figure holding him was wearing the black studded leather as Kao Ba...
"Kao Ba?! What are you do-"
Then there was a very large amount of pain in Ba Zeng's head, then blackness.
The figure punched Ba Zeng in the face horizontally, he was knocked out cold. The person in a black armor wore a mask, the person stroked with his/her right hand and held Ba Zeng with the left, he/she made sure not to forget Ba Zeng's beloved crossbow.
The person tried to make it to shore whilst carrying Ba Zeng.
- Ba Zeng has been knocked out cold by a strong punch and kidnapped by an unknown figure. - He Jin probably won't even notice Ba Zeng tried to kill him!

A lurching stop sent Many of Wei Yan's men to their faces, and soon the voice of Lu Rai long with blood, ran down the stairs to their level.
"Enemies! On the boat!" yelled the make-shift captain as Wei Yan rose to his feet, his long spear in hand. The lumbering warrior was long overdue for conflict, this boat had nearly got the best of his nerves.
"Spearmen, stay here and keep rowing, we aren't sinking this far out!" roared Yan as he led the rest of the axe men up topside. Once ontop, the men, though not exactly fully hearted into this fight made their way as best they could to defend their shit, not taking real time to fight their enemies, more or less block and shove/parry and shove men overboard. Wei Yan himself came up, shoulder rushed one man clean off the side and began looking around for an answer. His primal instinct of survival had finally kicked in at a time that seemed far too late. Then, he saw an opening.
"Lu Rai, break hard from that opening! We have to go quickly! Spears! Row! Row with the might of gods! Not even the almighty fire can stop the heart of the warrior!" boomed Wei Yan as he stuck another man and sent him rocketing over the edge. Soon though, Yan lost his footing...
A spear stab saved the warriors life. His spear was buried into the wood of deck, and he was standing by sheer arm and calf strength. One enemy swordsman marveled for a bit too long at Yan's feat of strength, and with a mighty roar from Yan the swordsman was sent reeling back and off the boat.
"Coward!" bellowed Yan as he grabbed another man and sent a headbutt that brought the enemy to his knees. "Get me to that shore, Lu Rai!"
Then a thought came into Wei Yan's mind as he snapped the arm of a swordsman, Who did we hit...
It took only seconds for Yan to see the allied officer he'd struck, Lu Meng. Yan didn't take time to act polite, kind, respectful, or even take full care to speak the officers name, he just roared.
"You there! Ally! Make fast onto our boat or make fast to follow us into hell! Staying your path will only send you to a watery demise! For glory!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wei Yan and his axes make to defend the boat, while the spearmen keep rowing and Lu Rai steers the boat for the only opening spotted. There is time for maybe Lu Meng and 10 Men to cross the gap risk free, if he so chooses.

...It's time. I hope the others can hold out. Gongwei was still on the bank, his thousand troops were being held in reserve, and it now seemed that they were more than needed by the allies. Zhu Jun knew that sailing up behind the allies wouldn't do much but put his men in the line-of-fire of the enemy archers. So, he decided that he would sail around the allies flank and land under the cover of all of the smoke, fire, and general confusion on both sides. This would cause the enemy to be surprised, for once, in this battle.
He turned to his acolytes in the tent and spoke firmly, decisively to them. "Inform the men that we are departing now. We will board the boats and we shall sail around the flank. We shall then land on the enemy shoreline and attack. The confusion it will cause if necessary to the survival of our allies." The junior officers agreed and left to inform the soldiers, who were no doubt extremely anxious for some sort of orders.
Jun then donned his armor, and strode out of the tent, his helmet in hand. He mounted his steed, and rode up to the front of his men, he turned his mount around to face them. He stared at them all, some young, some old; all of them fearful -- and rightfully so. Gongwei was not unaccustomed to war, or the death and the pain that it brought along with it. He hated knowing that he was leading men to their deaths, to accomplish goals they neither understood, or cared about. Though, as abhorred as it was by him, he knew he must do it. Such were the times....
Jun placed his helmet on his head, covering his graying hair. Sighing, he spoke to them powerfully, as a leader of men should. "My men! We have been spared from having to enter battle, but that now changes. Our allies are struggling, they need support desperately, and we now move to aid them by secretly landing on the enemy shore. We will use the smoke, the flames, and the night to our advantage. We will strike their archers and end the rain of death they continue to unleash upon our allies! We now move out to deliver those who would deliver us from peril were we in dire straights! We shall be heroes! We shall be saviors! Our deeds will be written down in the annals of history! ...Now, we board the boats and set sail!"
The men cheered loudly, they were truly inspired but the famous veteran's words. They then proceeded to board their ships, and they set forth to sail around the violent, burning engagement and destroy their enemies. The only concern for Gongwei, was that his allies would not be able to hold out. For everyone's sake, he hoped they could.
Zhu Jun has set sail from the allied shore and his sailing around the right flank(down river) of the allies to land, using the chaos and smoke as cover.

The white blue banner of Ji-Huang Liang fluttered in the breeze as his vessel came to a stop quite a few yards from the fire. Ji-Huang Liang sat in silence on his ship, folding his arms in wait as he watched the flames of battle. His men watched on in wait and in silence, waiting for their commander's orders. Ji-Huang Liang was silent as he scanned the battlefield...
Ji-Huang Liang's Vessels stop out of harms reach from the flames and the ships watching the battle!

So much had happened, Zhang Jiao's boat was set to be the first to collide with the enemy; fear had began to fill the Heavenly Hand as this was an experience they had never had to deal with. The Heaven's no linger shone, this would be the greatest test of theirs for Zhang Jiao, it would be soon. The men rushed around knowing collecting water would be futile now, they had to get ready for impact; grabbing anything that would allow them to stay aboard. The giant fire boats finally hit them, the collision could be heard from even the shoreline; the cracking of wood and exploding of fire embers that landed on Jiao's boat. Dong Zhuo's plan had worked, the boat was becoming ablaze. Then... Men began to board the ship, Jiao's men fought back not wanting to die or have them cause any harm to their master...
"ARGH!!!" With a creek the mast of the enemy ship collpased, as if it suddenly became silent as the giant piece of wood came plumeting down onto the Allied boat. Zhang Jiao's eyes widened, the boat would surely capsize; his men!. The Sage could hardly move before her looked to his left and saw another boat coming his way, upon it was Gongsun Zan; loyal to the Han. Surely this wasn't a plan to destroy both the enemy and him? No, for Zan had charged straight for the enemy ship; Dong Zhuo got what he wished, carnage. Zan's boat allowed Jiao's boat to stay afloat, hooking on each other so that it would not sink both ships. One collision, two collisions the Heaven's had surely had enough, but no. Another Allied boat had turned from the right to hit this huge wreckage; it was the flamboyant Zhang He... Zhang Jiao could not speak, they were helping him and not caring for their lives; they could make it if they cleverly sailed past. Soon He's ship would hit the enemy, though it would not move them; the mast that fell meaned Jiao's boat was locked with the fire boat.
"Children! Eradicate the enemy and then board the other ships!" Jiao knew this ship was now lost, Zan and He's boats had a chance to survive the crash; Jiao's was completely lost. "Master, keep safe!" Gong Ce quickly hurled himself towards Zhang Jiao and his new companion. Jiao got ready to attack the enemy who came near him; knowing he was lucky that they were only soldiers. "Dong Zhuo!!" In an angry rage the Heavenly Hand leader lashed out, managing to knock out a few enemy troops with his staff; Gong Ce faithfully removing their breaths with his sword. "Gong Ce, do not allow this young being to come to harm" Even though Jiao did not know Liao Xiuxu he could not allow the being to come to any form of harm; nor could he watch the massacering of his own troops. The fire grew, the more Jiao fought back to show the Heaven's how strong he was; that nothing would remove his faith. "Keep going! Tear the enemy down and board the ships! We shall not allow Dong Zhuo to win, it is not our times to ascend to the skies!" It was only a matter of time until the other Allied boats would come in contact with the fire boats, perhaps not as horrorific as Zhang Jiao, Zhang He and Gongsun Zan; but still terrible. Seeing that none of his Allies had boarded the enemy ship yet, which would be foolish in itself, Jiao gestured toward those with a bow. "Bowmen, volley the arrows onto the ship; once you see the allies board them, halt your bow to the enemes near you!" Zhang Jiao was at the back of his ship, with Gong Ce infront of him and Liao Xiuxu behind Zhang Jiao. Trying to cut a path through the three tried to make their way to the side of the boat, in which they could board Gongsun Zan's ship; not before his men did the same.
- Zhang Jiao's bowmen volley at the enemies boat, before allied troops board it! - The troops under Zhang Jiao fight back against the enemy! - when done they are ordered to board either Zhang He or Gongsun Zan's ship! - Liao Xiuxu is told to stay behind Zhang Jiao and Gong Ce for her/his protection!

Xiahou Yuan's string on his bow snapped, dang, he put far too much force on the most previous twang. Placing the bow on its strap, he threw it onto his back along with his quiver. Looking around, it seemed Dun was intent on saving the ship. This newcomer, Qu Yi, also seemed to be intent on saving theirs as well. Such a charade! Looking around, Yuan shrugged...He might as well. "Ditch your armour men! We are going for a swim!!" Yuan threw his armour off. Soldiers around him looked in pure shock! What the heck was the proud cousin of Cao Cao thinking? Well, he did have a plan actually. "Stop standing there like goats you morons! Strip! Now!" The soldiers shrugged and threw off their armour. Yuan strapped his sword to his side, before turning to Dun. His muscular body showing through the under robes, he yelled to his brother with a fierce roar. "See you on the other side!!" Yuan smirked before literally jumping off the boat. The soldiers he had under his command all laughed with insanity, they were so dead. They all jumped in after their leader.
Summary
- Xiahou Yuan pissbolts over the edge of the boat. - All his men were commanded to follow him - They now began to swim to the other end of the shore, the Zhuo forces side... - He has a plan...You would hope so...

Lu Zhi became aware that he was near the Grand Commander He Jin's main ship who was also in the way of the fire ships of the enemy forces. He couldn't allow the Grand Commander to be put in such danger by an enemy ploy. He had to prevent the COmmander ending up in danger. He took a quick scouting around his own boat to make sure plenty of water water was gathered.
He had his Veteran Horse with shields and Sword dismount their horses and stand next to the water preparing to use it when they crash into the enemy ships to put out the fires while his 23 Veteran Halberdiers and 22 Veteran Twin Maces stood ready for battle to fend off any enemy troops that may board the boat. The dismounted horse shield and sword were covering themselves and the water they were allocated to use with shields to block arrows coming at them while ducking.
"All troops full speed ahead! Do not worry about crashing into them and catching fire we have more than enough water to put out all flames! Prepare yourselves for any combat that may be had!"
