Shinno.

By the time 100,000 Cao troops entered the city and set up camps, making fires and cooking, it was already late at night.

At this time, people are sleepy and tired... Except for a small number of patrolling warriors, the rest of them all looked for houses in the city to rest, so that the first army was more scattered than expected.

When the wind was light, the heavy dark clouds completely shrouded Shinno in darkness.

At this time, Cao Ren and Cao Hong did not rest for a long time, and only heard the noise of gongs and drums outside the house... I had to suppress the depression in my heart, got up and walked out of General Zuo's mansion.

"What happened, and why is it so noisy?"

Reaching out and grabbing a torch, he took a picture of the sergeant's face, Cao Ren frowned... Dissatisfied, asked.

"General, the north of the city is flooded, several houses have been burned, and the surrounding soldiers are fighting the fire..."

Although there are torches shining on the face, but in this dark night where you can't see your fingers, the sight is really not much better, fortunately, the sergeant can't see Cao Ren's expression at the moment, otherwise... It is destined to be fearful for many days.

"Have you ever found out why the fire broke out?"

This season, the weather is dry and dry, and I am in Wancheng for a few days... Because the officers and soldiers in the army stole chickens and dogs to relieve their hunger, they lost fire several times, so they did not arouse Cao Ren's vigilance.

"The cause hasn't been found out yet, so I want to... It should be caused by the fact that the officers and men in the army did not completely extinguish the fire after lighting the fire. ”

Just as the sergeant was explaining, I saw gongs and drums sounding in the east, south, and west of the city, and then the flames rose into the sky...

"A bunch of rubbish... Niu Jin, call Niu Jin and quickly organize people to put out the fire..."

Listening to the noise coming from the distance one after another, Cao Ren's expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse twice.

It's just that in this kind of hot and dry weather, swept by strong winds, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already asked the sergeants to arrange a large amount of sulfur, fire salt, fire oil and other materials on the roofs of the city before retreating, how could the fire be so easy to extinguish?

In just a quarter of an hour, the number of places where there was fire in the city increased from four to more than twenty... And this number is also due to the rapid increase in the flames scattered.

"Zixiao, it's too late... If this continues, Xinye will definitely be burned, and it must be withdrawn from Xinye immediately..."

Just when Cao Hong came to Cao Ren's side and opened his mouth to persuade him, he only heard the war drums outside the four gates, and countless fire arrows crossed the city wall and shot indiscriminately on the houses in the city, completely igniting the fire in the city...

"Not good... We've been tricked."

Looking at the sea of fire rising into the sky all around, no one else needs to say, Cao Ren and Cao Hong also know that they have been tricked... fell for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's plan to lure the enemy.

"Withdraw... Inform the battalions that the whole army should withdraw from Shinno..."

An angry roar echoed over General Zuo's mansion, but... It's too late at this time.

Because of the dispersion, it was difficult for the various songs and battalions to be unified, so they had to be scattered.

"General, the fire at the east gate is still small, and you can break through from the east gate..."

Not far away, Niu Jin got Cao Ren's order to pull his horse and come, and when he saw Cao Ren and Cao Hong's gloomy expressions, he immediately turned over and dismounted, hugged Cao Ren and Cao Hong on his horse, and rushed to the east of the city.

Seeing that his master was going east, the soldiers of Cao Ying... Naturally, he subconsciously followed Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and he couldn't keep up... Consumed mercilessly by the flames, following the... Because there are many people and horses, trampling on each other, there are countless dead...

......

In the west of the city, on a hillside seven miles away, Zhang Yong looked at the sky-high fire of Xinye City, and his expression was a little restless.

People such as Meng Qiu, Ma Jian and others fell into deep silence at the moment.

......

"Cao Ren... The plan of my military division in Ruzhong is also! Zhao Yun, I've been waiting for you here for a long time! ”

At the east gate, Cao Ren and Cao Hongfang got out of the sea of fire, and before they could catch their breath, they saw countless flying arrows attacking in front of them, and the soldiers on the left and right who were killed turned on their backs.

"Zhao Zilong..."

Looking at the figure of Zhao Yun standing with a gun not far away, Cao Ren's face sank, leading Cao Hong, Niu Jin... led the remnants of the army to kill.

Since Zhuge Liang has set up an ambush here, he will never let them go easily, and he wants to have a way to live... The only way to do this is to kill through the past.

"Good time!"

Facing Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Niu Jin, the three god-refining level generals, Zhao Yun did not see the slightest fear, shouted lightly, and led two thousand elite horses to meet him.

"Kill !!"

Under the sporadic firelight mapping, the silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand was like a fire phoenix, and after picking up several Cao Jun armorers one after another, it collided with the big knife in Cao Ren's hand.

Feeling the pressure from the tiger's mouth, Cao Ren's face sank, and he hurriedly scattered Zhao Yun's spear with a horizontal knife.

There are not a few generals in the late stage of Cao Ying's refining gods, but... Among them, he and Cao Hong are not included.

"General, it's not worth fighting Zhao Yun to the death at this moment, it's still important to break through..."

As soon as they fought with Zhao Yun, Niu Jin had been cleared, and Zhao Yun was by no means a commodity that they could easily defeat, even if the three of them joined forces...

"Let's go..."

With a roar, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Niu Jin suddenly shot at the same time, killing Zhao Yun two steps back... Immediately after pulling out the horse, he broke through the elite cavalry in front of him, and turned the road in the direction of the Dongbai River.

"Cao Ren... Hugh away"

Seeing Cao Ren and Cao Hong breaking through without spine, Zhao Yun's momentum suddenly stagnated, and with a light shout, he was about to pull out his horse and chase back.

But there are too many Cao troops in the east of the city... blocked Zhao Yun's way.

Looking at the black and pressing figure of the East Gate, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning, now the number of Cao Jun outside the city... I'm afraid that there are no less than 10,000 people, and there will be heavy casualties when entangled here.

"Cao Ren is gone... Brothers, retreat with me!! ”

After killing and dispersing the surrounding Cao army, Zhao Yun led his elite cavalry to the south of the city.

......

Because Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Niu Jin joined forces to kill a hole, and there were not a few Cao troops who broke through the siege, and when Cao Ren and his party traveled a few miles east, they saw people and horses on the left and right shouting and killing a wave of ambushes.

"Cao Ren... Mi Fang has been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

Because of the chaotic breakthrough of Cao's army, a lot of torches were lost, so that Mi Fang misestimated the strength of Cao Ren's army.

"Mi Fang? You are Liu Xuande's brother-in-law? ”

Xinye caught fire, and Zhao Yun intercepted and killed, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were already holding a breath of evil in their hearts, at this moment... Seeing Mi Fang leading more than a thousand soldiers and horses, he dared to show off his might in front of them, how could he bear it.

With a sneer, he pulled out his horse and killed Mi Fang.

You can't kill Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, you can't kill Zhao Yun... It's not bad to kill Mi Fang, a person close to you.

"Kill them!"

Seeing Cao Ren and Cao Hong joining forces to kill, Mi Fang's face changed suddenly... But at this time, you can't say anything.

If you waste this hard-won opportunity, I don't know when I will be able to come out under Liu Bei and grit my teeth... led the left and right armor soldiers to surround Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

Relying only on in-laws, money and food, how can you lock Liu Bei, the hidden dragon?

If the Mi family wants to have a place under Liu Bei, the forces must hold military power.

"The mantis arm is a car!"

Seeing Mi Fang coming over without knowing whether he was alive or dead, Cao Ren's eyes flashed with a cold light, and it only took more than ten breaths to kill the heavy armor in front of Mi Fang with Cao Hong.

At this moment, Mi Fang finally knew what absolute strength was and what paper tiger was!

In just three or five rounds, he was severely injured by Cao Ren and Cao Hong and lost the power to resist.

"Retreat... The whole army retreats south! ”

Covering the knife wound on his chest, Mi Fang looked at the soldiers under his command who came up on the left and right, and after giving an order... I fainted completely.

"Zixiao, don't you chase?"

Seeing the enemy disappear into the night, Cao Hong pulled his horse and came to Cao Ren's side, with a look... It seems that because of a knife that flew Mi Fang and hacked to death more than a dozen Liu Beijun soldiers one after another, it was much better.

"No, it's just a waste that doesn't go into the stream, and you don't have to waste time on him."

Cao Ren knew that Mi Fang was very wasted, but he didn't expect it to be wasted to this extent, and he had the strength of the late stage of refining, but... The sense of battle may not even be comparable to the generals in the middle stage of Cao Ying's refining.

"Keep going... With Zhuge Liang's strategy, he will never stop there. ”

After a little trimming, after gathering some of the routed troops, Cao Ren led the army and continued to the east, where... There is a ferry crossing, if necessary... You can transfer to Yuyang.

Because Guan Yu received Zhuge Liang's order, he cut off the water source of the upper reaches of the Baihe River early, and when Cao Ren led nearly 10,000 defeated troops to the bank of the Baihe River, the waterbed of the Baihe River was only about half a leg high.

"Go... Tell the soldiers to trim for half an hour and drink some water... Replenish and replenish energy. ”

Coming to the river, he devoured two mouthfuls of river water, and Cao Ren turned his head to Niu Jin and commanded.

"No!"

After saluting Cao Ren, Niu Jin took the order and left, and after a while... I saw that the inside and outside of the White River were full of Cao soldiers.

"Zixiao, some time ago... Didn't it just rain a few times in Nanyang? The waters of this white river... How can it be so shallow? ”

Looking at the river muddyed by the soldiers, Cao Hong suddenly lost his thoughts and twisted his head... Said to Cao Ren.

Hearing Cao Hong's words, Cao Ren's expression changed suddenly.

Cao Hong may not have reacted, but Cao Ren, who is good at using the art of war... And how can you not know what that means?

Someone deliberately cut off the water of the White River... I want to attack it with water.

"Retreat... Get out of the White River! ”

Cao Ren's voice was still a little late, and at the moment when Cao Ren burst into drinking, he felt that the mountains were shaking in the upper reaches of the White River... The turbulent water poured like a flood, mercilessly submerging the soldiers of the Cao army who stayed in the river... More than 10,000 Cao troops, and in the blink of an eye, only more than 3,000 people on the east and west sides of the strait were left to escape.

"Zhuge Kongming..."

Looking at the whistling water in front of him, Cao Ren finally knew that when Xiahoudun mentioned Zhuge Liang that day... Why that look.

Unforgettable hatred... Fear that penetrates the soul.

Fire and water at the same time, overnight... made his 100,000 elites fall apart and suffer heavy losses.

Half an hour later, the river gradually recovered... But this time is far from the time when Cao Ren and Cao Hong are breathing.

I only saw that... In the east, south, and north of the Baihe River, the torches were shaken, and the generals Zhang Fei, Liu Feng, Zhou Cang, and Guan Ping led thousands of ambush soldiers to kill them from three sides.

"Yanren Zhang Fei is here! Who dares to fight with me! ”

The roar of thunder frightened people's hearts, and the remaining 3,000 Cao army soldiers... After a series of changes, the heart was already in the throat, and at this moment, when he saw the ambush soldiers in the wilderness, he had no heart to resist, and immediately scattered.

"Zixiao, withdraw!"

Looking at Cao Ren, who was slightly stunned, Cao Hong exclaimed twice... Seeing that Cao Ren hadn't reacted, he dragged Cao Ren into the chaotic army, turned around and fled west.

Now that the situation is clear, they have not only lost... And it was defeated.
