The dawn of the sky is white, and the morning light has just clothed the rushing Yellow River with a golden veil, and in the blink of an eye, it has been twisted into a little gold leaf by more than a thousand ships on the river. Among the many large and small warships, there is a huge three-story ship that stands out as a surprise. Its hull is pitch black, only the bow is painted with brightly colored patterns, making the whole ship look mysterious and majestic at first glance.

General Fubo Guan Cheng stood on the bow deck with his hands on his sword, and the vermilion banner of "Guan" behind him crackled under the wind of the river. Compared with Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and other land warriors, Guan Cheng's figure is not tall, and his martial arts are not top-notch. Just like the sailors he commanded, he was huge, but he was never regarded as a fighting force. Even if Guan Cheng once robbed the ships of Sanhan at sea to earn the first pot of gold for Donglai, in the eyes of many people, this kind of merit of bullying the small with the big cannot be put on the table. What's more, in recent years, eight or nine out of ten merchant ships from the Bohai Sea to the East China Sea have been related to Donglai, and any robbery is destroying Cai Ji's trade network at sea. So the role of the Sailor has changed from a raider to a guardian a long time ago. And escorting and transporting grain has also become the first reaction of most people when they hear the sailor.

"The sailor only carries the baggage?" Guan Cheng laughed at himself and muttered to himself. At this time, the word "Chen" fluttering on the Baimajin camp opposite him seemed to have come into everyone's eyes. Guan Cheng seemed to be able to see the expression of Yuan Jun in Baimajin when he saw nearly a thousand warships going upstream, and the stupid appearance of running around at a loss on the shore.

A white practice flashed on the ground, and the long knife of Guan Cheng came out of the sheath and pointed directly at the white horse, and burst into a shout, "Wait for the good students to look, this is the Qi Army Water Division!" ”

With Guan Cheng's order, thousands of fire arrows poured down from the warship like a storm towards Bai Majin. Yuan Jun, who was still surprised by the appearance of the sailor a moment ago, was shot by this earth-shattering fire rain and cried his father and mother. In the chaos, Lu Weihuang, the defender of Baimajin, led a group of Qu troops out of battle, but found that the enemy came up from the water. He has a fast horse and a sharp blade, but he doesn't expect the other party.

"Shoot the arrows! Back! In desperation, Lu Weihuang brandished his lance and ordered his archers to fire back. But the ships of the Qi army and sailors were covered with cowhide pontoons. There is a female wall, and the arrows of the white horse are not harmful at all. The range of the crossbow arrows on the warship was far greater than that of the white horse archers, and although the accuracy was not good, it was still superior in quantity.

However, compared to the suppressed archers, the warships of the Yuan army in Baimajin are really pitiful. Except for the building boat, the warships of this era were not very different from merchant ships and fishing boats. Especially in the North, where water wars are not taken seriously. The so-called sailors were often composed of expropriated merchant ships and fishing boats. Yuan Shao naturally couldn't be reluctant to go south this time. Many of the warships under his account were requisitioned from the people, and the transportation of troops and grain and grass was still improvised. It's hard to confront real ships on the water.

As soon as Yuan's ships left the port, there were several, or even dozens of Qi warships, surrounded them, and as soon as the spears hooked, the Qi army with blades in their mouths climbed onto the enemy ships like monkeys. Some of the soldiers in the Qi army's sailors were from fishermen's families, but more of them were river thieves and pirates who were recruited. Just like Guan Cheng himself is a pirate. The hustle and bustle of the battlefield and the splashing of blood soon aroused the banditry in the depths of their blood. But seeing the sword light and sword shadow, the severed limbs and heads rose one after another. Wailing and begging for mercy were not exchanged for mercy, but more frenzied killing.

Guan Cheng personally jumped onto a large warship, brandished the broadsword in his hand and knocked the enemies on the deck to the ground one by one. Short weapons such as knives and axes are more suitable for fighting on ships than long weapons such as halberds, spears, and lances. As the saying goes, one inch is short and one inch is dangerous, and the small space of the ship is a good stage to give full play to the agility of the management. Suddenly, a military general holding a long lance and wearing battle armor stood in front of Guan Cheng. This person is a head taller than Guan Cheng, and his physique looks stronger. Guan Cheng just stared at the other party with a pair of white eyes. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. This confrontation lasted not long, and the other party finally couldn't help but stand up. The lance struck directly at Guan Cheng's face door with a strong wind, but the latter flashed past the lance with lightning speed. A cold light flashed. There was a red blood mark on the throat of the general, and the splattered blood mist instantly stained the white sails. And when Guan Cheng turned back again, it seemed that only his men who were covered in blood and laughing were left on the ship, and the corpses were all over the ground.

In the face of such a murderous posture of the Qi Army Sailors. Some of the ships that had been going to leave the port retreated. But retreat does not bring them a lease of life. On the contrary, they were greeted by a more brutal fire. Using the small droppers installed on the ships, the Qi army lit the clay pots filled with gunpowder one by one and threw them on the warships in the harbor. In an instant, fireballs exploded one after another in Hakumasin. Countless ships and sailors became sacrifices to Zhurong in the scorching fire.

Bai Majin's screams and soaring fires soon alarmed the city of Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River. Compared to Baimajin, the port of Liyang City has more complete defense measures. The towering arrow towers are not afraid of the arrows of warships, and there are many more warships moored in the harbor than in Baimajin. However, Jiang Yiqu, who was the general of Liyang, prevented the sailors who planned to leave the port to rescue Baima.

"If you leave the port, who will take your majesty back to Jizhou in the future!" Jiang Yiqu questioned the sailor generals in a stern tone. The implication of his words is also very clear, can you defeat the Qi Army Water Division? If you can't be defeated, what will you use to pick up Yuan Shao on the south bank of the Yellow River next?

Sure enough, in the face of Jiang Yiqu's questioning, the generals of the sailor finally chose to retreat. And Jiang Yiqu looked at the sky-high fire on the south bank, and his eyes were full of anxiety. The Qi army's use of the water army to raid from the Yellow River had already surprised everyone. The strength he shows at this moment is even more jaw-dropping. At least Jiang Yiqu, who knew the level of Yuan Shao's sailors, could conclude that the warships in Liyangjin were not the opponents of the sailors on the river. Unless Yuan Shao can defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, go straight to Xudu, turn the situation in the world around, and force the Qi army and naval division to withdraw. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to my home. And Jiang Yiqu, who is a general of the land war, can only pray in his heart to bless Yuan Shao to conquer Xudu as soon as possible, in addition to ensuring that Liyang is not lost.

However, the reality turned out to be far more pessimistic than Jiang Yiqu expected. Just as he and his men sat gloomily as the Qi Army's sailors swaggered out against the backdrop of the Great Fire of the White Horse, the messenger brought him even more disturbing news.

"General, the Qi army made a surprise attack on Gongyangju, and the grain and grass in the gathering were burned!"

The sudden battle report made Jiang Yiqu's eyes darken, and he couldn't help but stumble under his feet. The subordinates on the side stepped forward to help. was thrown away by Jiang Yiqu, who stabilized the tiger's body. But seeing that his eyes were red, he slammed forward, stomped on the wall with both hands, and shouted silently in the direction of Guandu-Your Majesty! Yuan's is in danger!

In fact, it was not only Jiang Yiqu and others who were shocked by the Battle of the White Horse. At present, Cai Ji, who is in Juancheng, was beheaded by Gao Shun and others. It was frustrating.

"I didn't know that I would be lonely, so I beat the white horse with a sailor! Gu also hoped that in the future, when Yuan Shao crossed the Yellow River, a Qi army sailor would come to the sky. Now the white horse is burning. Yuan Shao is afraid that he will not dare to cross the river from here in the future! Facing the urgent report just delivered, Cai Ji's wail resounded through Caofu's study.

It is said that since the fight was made, Yu sent troops to meet the Qi army. Juancheng finally got rid of the threat of Yuan Shaojun's army for more than a year. And Cai Ji also led Gao Ran, who had just surrendered to Cheng, to Juancheng later, and blatantly lived in Juancheng Cao Mansion as a prospective daughter-in-law. Therefore, Cai Ji can now be said to use Cao Cao's study, drink Cao Cao's tea, and collect war reports from all over the world.

Jia Xu, who was also in the study at this moment, turned a blind eye to the complaints of his master, and even retorted disapprovingly, "Since the lord has this intention, he should explain it to General Gao and General Guan in advance." ”

The reason why Jia Xu dared to speak like this. It's because he has already figured out Cai Ji's temper these days. I know that although this lord of him is a woman, he is more open-minded than many princes who claim to be gentlemen. I won't be angry about this little thing. On the contrary, Cai Ji also likes this kind of uninhibited way of talking. Therefore, on the premise of not touching the scales of the lord, even Jia Xu will have something to say.

Sure enough, after listening to what Jia Xu said, instead of getting angry, Cai Ji smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "Mr. Wenhe is right. There will be no exemption from military orders abroad. It was Lone who didn't make it clear in advance, and the surprise turned into a fright. However, the white horse has been burned, and Cao Cao is afraid that he will be loosened, right? ”

Jia Xu glanced at Cai Ji and shook his head. "I'm afraid it's even worse."

"How so?" Cai Jiqi said. In her opinion, the white horses were burned, and Yuan Shao was still dead, and Cao Cao was really incomprehensible.

But Jia Xu twisted his beard with a smile and asked rhetorically, "As soon as the white horse burns, Yuan Shao's back road is cut, just like a broken kettle." His immortal battle Cao Cao, does he still turn around and fight the Lord to the death on the Yellow River? ”

The sentence "broken cauldron and sinking boat" vividly depicts Yuan Shao's current state. Cai Ji was so dialed by Jia Xu that he immediately understood the problem. Guan Cheng's attack on Baima from the Yellow River against the Yellow River certainly cut off Yuan Shao's back road, but at the same time, it also forced Yuan Shao to a dead end. With the gap between Yuan and Cai's armies in the naval division, compared with the northern retreat to Jizhou, Yuan's army still continued to attack Cao Ying. It is no exaggeration to say that it is now a matter of comparing whether Yuan Shao first broke through Cao Cao and took Xudu, or Cai Ji broke through Wei County first and captured Yecheng. Yuan Shaopo Cao Cao seemed to be the immediate matter, and Cai Ji had just arrived at the gate of Wei County. Thinking of this, Cai Ji subconsciously glanced up at Cao Cao's personal book in the study, "The world returns to the heart", and then secretly recited in his heart - Sikong, this time Fei Ji deliberately fell into death, please ask for more blessings.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't know that Yuan Shao had become a desperate battle with him by accident. Right now, he was thinking more about how to deal with Yuan Shao's crazy wave of attacks. The sun had already set over the western mountains an hour earlier, and Cao Cao stood at the head of Guandu City and looked down at the enemy formation on the opposite side that was only two or three hundred steps away from the city. In the dark night, although he couldn't see people's faces clearly, a torch still illuminated the sparkling swords and guns, and also illuminated Cao Cao's face like water. Cao Cao couldn't remember how many nights this was the first time he had faced such a strong attack. He only knew that as Yuan Shao pressed forward step by step, Cao Jun retreated again and again, and finally retreated into Guandu City the day before yesterday. Today, there are only more than 3,000 remnants in the small Guandu City.

Knock, knock, knock...... With the sound of Yuan Shaojun's war drums, a team of war horses galloped back and forth in the city, and the ground rumbled. About 20,000 people-Cao Cao secretly estimated the scale of Yuan Shao's attack this time. He immediately turned around and looked around at the subordinates behind him, but saw that Dian Wei and Xu Zhu were holding halberds and axes, standing left and right, like rocks standing still. Not far away, Yuan Jun was standing on top of the city with a cadre of songs, ready to smash the wood and stone at the city. Even Xun You, Sima Lang and other scribes changed into military uniforms.

Rao is Cao Cao, who has played Wangmei's means to quench his thirst, and in the face of such a formation at this time, he couldn't help but bow to the civil and military forces present, "With the help of all the gentlemen, Meng De has no regrets in this life." ”

Seeing this, everyone hugged their fists in return, but no one said a word. Everyone can see that what is about to be fought is a fierce battle with an extremely disparity in strength. Death is a matter of course, and surviving is a real miracle. But even so, no one in the city chose to leave, because the people here, including Cao Cao, had no way to retreat.

Woo~~~ The long horn sound announced the beginning of the fierce battle. The thin walls of Guandu could not stop the Yuan army that was swarming like a tide. In the blink of an eye, dozens of ladders were already on the wall. Arrows, wood, stones, and even corpses, Cao Jun smashed the Yuan army with an object that could be used in a qiē manner. But these counterattacks were like mud cattle into the sea, and they could not stop the momentum of Yuan's army to go to the city.

In just half an hour, the Cao army at the head of the city had fallen into hand-to-hand combat. But seeing Xu Zhu dancing with a big axe, he was like a giant spirit fierce god, cutting down all living creatures within a radius of three feet. Red plasma, white brains, and pink minced flesh quickly formed a thin shell on his armor and tomahawk.

Diagonally, Dian Wei harvested the lives of the besiegers in another style. Like the twin halberds of the Grim Reaper's sword, every time an arc is drawn, a life will disappear. There is no passion, no mercy, just like their masters are calm and quick.

Xu Zhu and Dian Wei's desperate fight was for the lord's Cao Cao. But Rao is Xu and Dian, and the two of them covered Cao Cao and also slashed many Yuan soldiers. After cutting off half of a pawn's head with a sword, Cao Cao took a breath and secretly observed the battle situation. More and more Yuan troops killed the head of the city, as if they had surrounded Guandu City to a water pavilion. Although Xu Zhudian and Wei killed the gods and repelled waves of strong attacks by the Yuan army, Xun You and the others were not bad. Yu Ban was also able to lead his troops to drive the enemy army down from the city from time to time. But people will get tired after all, and how long can such a death battle last? Cao Cao himself has no bottom in his heart.

Could it be that Cao Mengde is going to die here tonight?!

Cao Cao's mind flashed Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Gongsun Zan, and many people who died in battle and were executed. Do you want to give up and seek liberation? Or fight to the death? In the end, Cao Cao still clenched the long sword in his hand.

No! Never! There is one breath left, and the will never admit defeat!

What a cheat! Next week, the children will be checked, do you want to squeeze all of them together~~~ Almost be forced to death birds~~~ Even to abuse CC~~~ (to be continued)
