After Jiang Wan and the Huang brothers converged, the crowd became even more numerous, although Cao Ren still had nearly 20,000, but they all had no intention of fighting. Including the main general Cao Ren, everyone was panicked, and they didn't know how many enemies would emerge from nowhere, so they ran north desperately!

While running desperately, I was prepared to catch up.

Cao Ren took the troops unconsciously to the Baihe River, and fled along the Baihe River to the north for dozens of miles, and finally got out of the battlefield, Cao Ren ordered to gather the team, and gradually more and more people gathered, these people just escaped from the sea of fire and were chased by the Xiangyang army all the way to this point, they were already exhausted, their mouths were dry, and they all crowded to the river to drink water.

The generals also let the horses rest and come to the middle of the river to drink. Xu Zhu was careful, and his horses that fled for his life along the way were all along the river, greeting and looking down at the river. Seeing that the river here is not deep and the current is not urgent, he stepped forward and asked Cao Ren: "General Cao, come and see, the river here is not deep and the current is not urgent, why don't you cross the river here, and then wait until dawn to kill all the way back to Xinye?" ”

Cao Ren heard Xu Zhu say this, his heart was also moved, after all, the chasing soldiers behind have been continuous, although he is temporarily out of the battlefield at this moment, but he is afraid that it is impossible to live here tonight, if he leads the troops to cross the river, at least he can get rid of the pursuers behind, as for whether he can recapture Xinye tomorrow. After daybreak, send more scouts to Xinye. If the enemy army was heavily guarded, Cao Ren wanted to wait until Cao Cao's main force arrived.

Of course, if the enemy army can't find it and retreats to Fancheng, Cao Ren still has to enter Xinye, otherwise it will be really difficult to explain to Cao Cao if he loses so many people. Just thinking about it, Cao Hong had already crossed the river on horseback to the opposite side: "Zixiao, the bottom of the river is flat, organize everyone to cross the river." ”

Cao Ren looked at Cao Hong on the other side, and thought to himself, this black light blinds, Cao Hong can cross the river smoothly, thinking that it should not be too deep, so he summoned his subordinates to prepare to cross the river first.

Besides, Na Wenpin had been in ambush in the upper reaches of the Baihe River for most of the day, and when he saw the flames in the direction of Xinye at night, he knew that Liu Cong's plan had succeeded, and he wanted to rush down to fight, but Liu Cong told him to wait upstream, and he didn't dare to disobey. Even if Cao Jun didn't come to Baihe for the last time, he couldn't go back empty-handed. Now that Liu Cong has been in charge of Jingzhou for a short time, as the most powerful general, if he disobeys in the first battle, how will Liu Cong command in the future?

The soldiers who followed Wen Ping to ambush were still very excited at first, and thousands of sandbags were stacked in the upper reaches of the Baihe River, cutting off the Baihe River, and the river soared several feet. Seeing that night was falling, the fire was rushing in the direction of Xinye, and when I asked Wen Ping, I knew that other people were ambushing Cao Jun everywhere, and all of them were itching in their hearts. finally waited until the second half of the night, and suddenly there was a lot of people not far away, and the war horses were roaring, and Wen Ping immediately remembered Liu Cong's instructions.

Hurriedly sent a sentry cavalry detective, Wen Ping's ambush was only a few miles away from Cao Ren's resting place, the sentry cavalry saw a fire from a distance, and even on the other side of the river, there was a fire to know that Cao Jun was crossing the river, and hurriedly reported back to Wen Ping. When Wen Ping heard the great joy, he immediately ordered all the soldiers to jump into the river and pull up the sandbags, and the river suddenly roared down like a galloping war horse.

Wen Ping and the others did not fall behind, and immediately went down the river, preparing to intercept and kill Cao Jun.

Besides, Wei Yan was even more excited at this time, just half an hour ago he was still depressed, and Gan Ning was already in charge of nearly 20,000 sailors. But he came here with his troops to ambush.

When Liu Cong ordered the generals before, Wei Yanhao was actually in a similar state of mind. Especially after seeing the fire in the direction of Xinye, he secretly made up his mind that when he returned to Fancheng, he must propose to Liu Cong that he would be a pioneer in the next battle.

Wait, wait, as time passed, Wei Yanyue felt that he had come up empty tonight, this day was a vain wait, but it was cheaper for Jiang Wan, Huang An, and Huang Rui.

But he didn't expect that while he was sleepy, the sentry came and reported that he had found the enemy.

Wei Yan suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly gathered his troops, and quietly touched the ferry. Stop a mile from the ferry.

"One, two......" Wei Yan looked at the river, patiently counting the torches crossing the river. This will make Wei Yan grind out his patience. waited for nearly a thousand torches on the shore before leading the troops to kill.

Cao Cao was crossing the river, and he was jubilant with those on the other side of the river, this time he finally got rid of the enemy army, and he never thought that there was a sudden fire behind him, and thousands of torches were instantly ignited, shouting all the way to the river. Cao Hong, who was standing on the shore, looked at this formation and thought to himself, it turned out that there were ambushes here.

What are you most afraid of crossing the river? I'm most afraid of the enemy when I'm halfway through!

Cao Ren, who was still on the opposite shore, also shouted in his heart when he saw the torches. At this time, there were only 1,000 people in Cao's army crossing the river and going ashore, and they were soaking wet, and there were still thousands of people in the middle.

If you don't continue to cross the river, then the soldiers on the other side of the river will be easily picked up by the enemy, but if you continue to cross the river, the enemy will clean up the company on the bank and shoot the river, and the casualties will be greater.

Over there, Cao Hong's reaction was really extraordinary, and he shouted towards the river: "Go back, go back!" After saying that, he also patted the horse and dismounted.

The people who had just come ashore were also frightened when they saw the enemy, and they quickly rushed back into the river when they heard the shouts.

Cao Ren had no choice but to order the soldiers who had not crossed the river: "Prepare with bows and arrows, cover, cover them ashore!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he found that there was another army in the upper reaches of the river, and it was on the same bank as himself. Obviously, this was also premeditated.

Cao Rencai was distracted about how to respond, but he heard the soldiers in the river shouting: "Water, water, water!" ”

When Cao Renchu heard this, he shook his head, this northern sergeant is really not good, he is so afraid of water, but after thinking about it, what is wrong with water?

Then he understood, all he could hear was the sound of the rushing water, it was a torrent. Thinking of the enemy army that appeared upstream, it's over, it's over, I'm afraid that all those who didn't come ashore in the water will be washed away, and this time it's a big deal.

Bowangpo Xu Zhu was played, Xinye City was attacked on three sides, and this river was ambushed and flooded!

Cao Ren didn't think much about it anymore, and immediately got on his horse and prepared to retreat immediately.

But it's so easy to escape anywhere at this time. Just after Le Ma ran a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of killing in the south!

This...... Cao Ren now understood, it turned out that his troops were not getting rid of the enemy at all, but deliberately set aside this open space to let themselves fall into the scheme, and the enemy troops chased by Xinye City had been nearby, they were just waiting for flooding and other ambushes!

As a last resort, he immediately beckoned Xu Zhu and the others to prepare for battle.

Looking at the river again, the water level rose by one or two feet in an instant, and the soldiers who had already gone ashore hurriedly moved back into the river, crowded with the people who were originally going to go ashore, and the ambushes on three sides were killed at the same time, and the Cao army in the middle of the river didn't know where to run. While hesitating, the river came downstream.

The river, which was still just above the waist, instantly overflowed the shoulders, and some even went over the top of their heads. Crossing the river turned into swimming and even snorkeling. It's a pity that there are not many people who are good at water in Cao Jun. Wei Yan's troops were the closest, and when they arrived at the river, they were greeted by arrows, and there were countless casualties in an instant, and those tall ones squeezed back hard, wanting to return to Cao Ren's side.

Helplessly, the hands and feet in the water did not obey the call, and one by one, they were not hit by arrows, but they also consciously and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

And Cao Ren and the soldiers on the shore were no better, the two thousand soldiers led by Wen Ping slept on the bank of the river for most of the day, and finally got the opportunity to kill the enemy, and one by one they went down the mountain to the tigers.

And Jiang Wan and other troops who have followed all the way here are also in high morale, and when they saw the enemy's repeated plans, they all smiled happily: "Cao Jun is a fool, suffer death!" ”

Faced with enemies on three sides, no matter how brave Cao Ren, Xu Zhu and others were, it was useless, and it was easy to wait for Cao Hong to come to his side, Cao Ren planned to break through first, the soldiers in the water couldn't take care of it, and the ones on the shore could get out alive!

Cao Ren, who had made up his mind, immediately ordered Xu Zhu, Cao Hong and others to work hard to support the situation, and led the team to fight and retreat.

And Liu Cong had already instructed in advance, Wen Ping, Jiang Wan and others were caught on the shore and did not cross the river, and the water was handed over to Wei Yan. Wei Yan was very comfortable at the moment, and ordered his soldiers to draw the bow one by one, as long as one person came forward, four or five arrows flew over, which frightened the person into the water again and again, but when he entered the water again, few of them reappeared, either drowned or washed away!
