赤壁 II 之 决战天下

This could be the end of such similar kind of epic war movie, whether based on 三国 or fictitious, or at least a break of it. The second part of the 赤壁 movie continued from where it left off. 曹操 camped near 赤壁 with thousand of warships and countless soldiers. It seems a inevitable victory for him since he also have 蔡瑁, 张允 which specialize in battle at sea.

But with 周瑜 and 诸葛亮 on the 孙权 side, their 智谋 increases the chances of an almost impossible victory. As 曹操's army took time to train and built up will, 周 and 亮 have some time to think of how to resolve their 2 biggest problem. First was not to allow 曹操 gain the obvious advantage of attacking at sea. Second, their lack of arrows. Both agreed to resolve one problem each, if not, will be executed.

Not sure how true these 2 events in the history books but it seems miraculous. 曹操 send 周's childhood friend to persuade him to serve 曹操. 周 used this to purposely divulge some so called secret, which was that 蔡瑁 was planted there to kill 曹操. On the other hand, 亮 carried out his plan, to have 100,000 arrows ... with no internet and credit card, it seems ... 'ma na wu ko leng'

亮 predicted heavy fog at sea and went in the direction of 曹操 with 20 boats filled with 草人. 蔡瑁, 张允 went out to attack, but with the fog, they beware of advancing. Thus, counterattack with arrows ... 100,200 of them to be exact. 曹操生性猜忌, beheaded both of them.

Also to mention 孙权 sister, 孙尚香, seemingly MI5 trained, who can BLL into 曹操 camp for days, weeks. Even can collect information and "sms" aka 飞鸽传书 with 亮.

Then 刘备, siting diseases in 孙权 camp not under control and left. 曹操 seeing this opportunity and the wind was blowing in the direction favouring him to do a 火攻.

But 亮, with wikipedia's help, confirmed the wind will be changing direction soon. There was a problem though, they need more time.

So 小乔 went to 曹操, with an objective to 拖延时间, apparently it worked.


This started the final battle, lasted quite long. The scenes makes you want to play RTK 11 !! 火攻 from warships, Incinerating arrows, Catapults, Ember Fire, Fort attack, etc. 黄盖's 先锋队 did most of the fire damage to 曹操's warships. With 赵云 aiding from land east and 刘备, 张飞, 关羽 from the land west. Mr Liu fake fake left so as to have a surprise attack later.

甘兴 kamikaze and blew opened the fort's gate with the explosives. 周's final wave went in and with 刘备's help reached 曹操's camp area. With 小乔 as 人质 also no use, Mr Zhao saved her but only ... as she fell from 2nd storey, confirm won't die. 周 flew in and caught her, similar to his super flight in the movie 色诫. 8/10
