"Bow and crossbow... Hand hand..., put it ... Arrows, shoot kills... Cao Jun. ”

Watching the water thieves slowly pass through the path of the dense forest, Cao Jun also pursued after him.

Seeing the opportunity, Deng Ai got up and waved his knife and ordered.

When the order was passed, the crossbowmen of the Jingzhou army immediately prepared to go, and the next moment, thousands of arrows were thrown from the sky above the dense forest.

"Ahh

Suddenly, more than 100 Cao soldiers who had entered the dense forest first were shot like hedgehogs, wailing and screaming again and again.

The arrows continued to be fired, and the unsuspecting Cao Jun struggled under the blow of the rain of arrows.

After the battle, the surviving soldiers quickly rushed to Xiahou Nan's side, and hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "General, there are water thieves in the dense forest who are ambushing. ”

"Our army has been tricked!"

"Medium?"

Hearing this, Xiahou Nan instantly felt his face full of incredulity, and muttered, didn't he lead the crowd to ambush the water thief, and then chase all the way, why did he become a water thief and have an accomplice now?

Moreover, it was ambushed here a long time ago?

"Could it be that the water thieves have been using deceit to lure our army to come from the beginning, when did the thief army have such strong resourcefulness?"

For a while, Xia Hou Nan had a general doubt in his mind and was at a loss!

"Oh, kill, kill the thief!"

At this time, just when Xiahou Nan hesitated, the forest suddenly shouted and killed, and the Jingzhou army, under the command of Deng Ai, stopped firing arrows and rushed towards the Cao army with swords.

Seeing this, Chen Qun lost color from the side, and stepped forward to persuade: "General, the thief army has been dispatched to encircle our army, we have already won the plan, retreat quickly!" ”

"Otherwise, our army will be in danger of overturning!"

At this moment, how could Chen Qun admonish, Xiahou Nan was already startled by the rising shouts and killings around him, and a trace of fear suddenly appeared in his heart, and he immediately shouted in a panic: "The whole army, withdraw quickly... Evacuate, evacuate to Biyang. ”

The order was handed down, and Xiahou Nan took the lead like a frightened bird, driving the war horse to gallop and flee.

The main general is like this, and the soldiers under his command did not have the heart to fight, so they left the battlefield one after another and evacuated in a panic.

At this time, Chen Qun's eyes stared at the back of the panicked Xiahou Nan slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh, and said secretly: "Alas, it's really a gentleman." ”

"As a general, he was the first to show his cowardice, which is really a shame for the soldiers!"

A thought quietly emerged, and Chen Qunsui did not linger, but also frantically beat the horse and fled.

"The whole army... Pursue! ”

Seeing Cao Jun fleeing, Deng Ai waved his sword and personally led the crowd to pursue behind.

The battle situation changed so quickly, it was Cao Jun who was biting the water thief tightly before, but at this time, it was changed and turned into the Jingzhou army beating the water dogs!

Along the way, all the backward Cao soldiers were slaughtered by the Jingzhou army.

After a while, the two armies chased after each other, and Cao's army crossed the water village again, and then frantically rushed back to Biyang City.

When the Jingzhou army arrived at the periphery of the water village, Deng Ai waved his knife to stop and said, "Quanquan... Army... Stop, go in... Stockade. ”

When the order was passed, the Jingzhou army stopped continuing the pursuit, and then formed an orderly formation into the village to control the water village.

In this battle, under the planning of Deng Ai, the Jingzhou army easily defeated the Cao army with almost no effort, and also captured the water village of the water thieves and captured many warships.

Standing on the edge of the water village, Deng Ai looked at the more than 100 warships docked on the shore, and a trace of joy appeared on his face, and he said secretly: "This time I captured the warship, as long as Biyang is captured, the soldier will come to the city of Xudu, and the plan to attract the attention of Cao Jun will be half successful." ”

This time, because the Jingzhou army was traveling north across hundreds of miles and raiding Xudu, in order to reduce the attention of the Cao army garrison along the line, the entire army of Guan Ping requisitioned fishing boats.

In other words, there were no warships in the Jingzhou army at this moment.

Biyang City is backed by the Bishui line, is the confluence of several tributaries south of Xudu, its geographical location can be said to be extremely important, its north along the Rushui dozens of miles is Xudu.

To the east into the Huaishui, you can march to Runan, the land of Huainan, and you can also go south to Jiangxia.

Biyang City, as long as this city is occupied, the Jingzhou army will be able to attack and retreat if it goes north this time!

The capture of Biyang was also a good strategy formulated when Guan Ping went north.

Half-groaning, Deng Ai thought for a moment, and also ordered several scouts to give several instructions.

The first order was to order several people to go south by boat, find the main force of the major general, inform him of the situation here, and let his army come with fire.

The second order was to order the scouts to disperse around Biyang and go to search for the whereabouts of the water thieves.

The military order was issued, and Deng Ai arranged for some soldiers to inspect the water village, and the rest of the soldiers returned to the village to rest.

As for Deng Ai, he also returned to Dazhai and was in the main position, so he sat down and thought: "Now, Xu Du has sent troops south to sit in this surrounding area. ”

"Even if the major general goes north to join the army, there are only more than 3,000 people, and if you want to capture Biyang City, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

On this day and night, when the water thieves were fighting among themselves, and were ambushed by the Cao army, and were defeated, Deng Ai also arranged for more than ten scouts to infiltrate the surroundings of Biyang City to inquire about the news.

In the end, the scout's spy news reported that Cao Jun had led the crowd south to sit here!

"Who is the commander of this Cao army, who can set up an ambush for the big water thieves when he first arrives."

At this moment, Deng Ai was also secretly guessing the other party's main general.

It stands to reason that when he just arrived in Biyang, he was able to find out that the water thieves were going to seize the city, and then take the opportunity to set up an ambush and wait for the rabbit.

With this strategy alone, Deng Ai felt that the leader of the army this time was extremely not simple!

Although in the end, Deng Ai relied on intelligence, pretending to be reinforcements of water thieves, set up an ambush in the dense forest in advance, and used a strategy of praying mantis to catch cicadas, and Huang Que behind the strategy, and took Cao Jun together.

It's just that there is also a fluke element in Deng Ai's battle, that is, Cao Jun did not know that the Jingzhou army was going north.

"So, who is the commander of the army in this battle?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Deng Ai thought about many famous generals of Cao Wei, but vetoed them one by one, and he was unaware.

There are really many generals of Cao Wei and many generals of the clan, and it is difficult to guess who will lead the army to sit in the town.

After thinking for a moment, Deng Ai pondered: "The main general doesn't care for the time being, now that the Xu Du side has sent troops to sit here, it means that they have attached importance to the south region." ”

"Now it seems that with the strength of our army alone, it may be extremely difficult to disrupt the surroundings of Xu Du!"

After a pause, Deng Ai continued to think: "Is there a way to break the game?" ”

At this moment, Deng Ai's thoughts were surging all the time, thinking about countermeasures.

After a long time, his eyes suddenly brightened, his face was happy, and he muttered, "Yes... Finish! ”

"Now the situation south of Xudu is confusing, and bandits from all over the country have been waiting for an opportunity, either taking advantage of the chaos to loot all over the place, or sending envoys to send a surrender table to choose to join the prince."

"In that case, why don't I design to unite these bandit forces to strengthen my own army, so as to turn enemies into friends and win them over to target Cao's army together?"

At this time, Deng Ai's eyes stared slightly, and he groaned secretly.
