As soon as Cao Cao's order fell, all the armies immediately shouted and killed. Hua Xiong hurriedly led his troops back to the village, and at this time, the two generals Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, who were outside Yancheng, were leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to wait, just waiting for the soldiers and horses in the city to kill, and immediately went to intercept and kill. I didn't know that after waiting for a long time, there was still no response in the city.

Let's say that Hua Xiong led the army to look at the river bank and fled, abandoning the camp, horses and weapons, and throwing them all over the road. When the Wei soldiers saw it, they all wanted to fight for it. There was a rush of scrambling among the various armies, and there was chaos immediately. When Cao Cao saw this, he hurriedly ordered the armies to be stopped, and ordered those who took a thing in vain to be beheaded immediately. However, there were too many soldiers and horses in the Wei army, and it was difficult to prepare at this time. Dian Wei led a group of soldiers and horses to pursue, and suddenly killed the people of the Shu soldiers, rushing left and right, killing like a wave splitting, like entering a no-man's land. Dian Wei ran all the way, and when all the Shu generals saw Dian Wei, they were all frightened as if their souls were scattered, and they hurriedly fled for their lives.

At this moment, in the direction of the Wei army camp, countless drums and trumpets suddenly sounded, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering. When Cao Cao heard this, his color suddenly changed, and he looked at Yancheng urgently, but he didn't see any soldiers and horses to come out to save him. Suddenly, Cao Cao seemed to wake up suddenly, thinking that most of the soldiers and horses in Yancheng must be going to rob the village. Cao Cao didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat. When this order fell, the Wei army suddenly became even more panicked, and Xiahoudun and Cao Ren hurriedly led their troops to withdraw. Cao Cao led the army to look at the middle road and went to the camp to rescue the camp. Dian Wei heard the sound of the golden horn and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army. At this time, Hua Xiong abruptly led the army back to kill, Dian Wei fought alone, but it was difficult to stop the many soldiers of the army, and they were gradually scattered, Dian Wei's evil eyes seemed to be filled with bursts of black murderous aura, and the double halberd slashed violently, and he simply killed a bloody road, leading hundreds of riders to break through.

But it was said that the Wei troops from all walks of life were rushing to the camp and were entering a valley. Suddenly, on both sides of the valley road, countless falling rocks and rolling logs fell. The Wei army was unprepared, and countless people were stoned to death. Then, bows and arrows were fired indiscriminately, and the arrows rained down. The Wei army was in turmoil. Cao Cao hurriedly instructed the soldiers to withdraw from the valley. Suddenly, there was another burst of cannons, and I saw Pan Ping leading the troops to kill from the middle, Wu Ban to the left, and Zhang Nan to the right. The three-way Shu soldiers slaughtered with great momentum. The Wei army was routed and scattered. Cao Cao's face was cold, and he pulled out the sword leaning on his waist and shouted.

"What is there to fear of such a rabble!? The armies are fighting to the death!! ”

Cao Cao shouted, and the galloping horse rushed to kill first. Xu Chu protected Cao Cao and rode on horseback. Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and other soldiers returned to fight one after another. Cao Ren was against Wu Ban, Xiahou was fighting against Zhang Nan, and Cao Cao rushed straight to Pan Ping, looking at Pan Ping's head with a sword. When Pan Ping saw Cao Cao killing, he was not afraid of rejoicing, and slashed out with a knife, and the two weapons collided suddenly. At this moment, Xu Chu roared, drove the horse past Pan Ping's side, and slashed at Pan Ping's head with a knife. Pan Ping knew that Xu Chu was powerful, how dare he be careless, and hurriedly retreated. Xu Chuhu was stunned and was about to rush to kill. At this time, most of the Shu soldiers arrived. Although Xu Chu is mighty, he has many soldiers. Pan Ping was also cunning, retreated into the formation, and taught the sergeant to shoot Cao Cao with random arrows. Cao Cao hurriedly drew his sword to resist. At the same time, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren also suffered such a situation. The Wei soldiers who fled everywhere were greatly encouraged by the desperate battle of Cao Cao and a group of soldiers who rushed over. After a while, Dian Wei arrived, and seeing that Cao Cao was in danger, his evil eyes widened, and he roared viciously, killing a bloody road, and stabbing obliquely to take Pan Ping. Pan Ping heard a series of screams first, and before he came back to his senses, he saw that Dian Wei was about to be killed. At this time, there was a fierce fighting sound in front of him. It turned out that Xu Chu also rushed towards him. In the face of these two notorious gods, Pan Pingyan dared to be careless, and hurriedly reined in his horse and left. Under the courageous struggle of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the morale of the Wei army rose sharply, and there was a tendency to counterattack. Fortunately, Hua Xiong arrived soon and suppressed the momentum of the Wei army. The two armies fought for a while, until the third watch in the night, when both armies were exhausted and each of them quit. Despite this, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, losing about 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, of which as many as 20,000 were stoned to death under the valley. After all, the Wei army was extremely chaotic at that time, and they were in a hurry to rescue, and most of them were unprepared.

Cao Cao returned to the village, but he did not see the slightest trace of fighting in front of the village, and he knew that he had fallen for the other army's bluff. Cao Cao's face was dark, as if he was about to drip water. That night, the soldiers were taught to rest, and the next morning, Cao Cao beat the drums and the generals under the tent to discuss the plan to break the city. Full of pets attended.

"This law of filial piety is not an idle person, and the other army has this person's plan, and it is urgent to break it. In addition, our army suffered a great defeat last night, and we must not rush to attack it. Why didn't the king find another way? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up as if he could swallow the sky, and he hurriedly asked.

"Bert would rather have a plan?!"

Manzhong listened, but his face was stagnant, and he confessed his guilt, but there was no plan. Cao Cao frowned, and at this moment, he suddenly saw Guo Jia on the side with a faint smile on his face. When Cao Cao saw it, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said to Guo Jia.

"Guo Fengxiao, if you have a plan, you will come quickly with Lone!!"

Guo Jia grinned, bowed on the four-wheeled vehicle and said.

"King Wei, don't worry too much. Now in Jingzhou, except for Pan Wushuang and Hua Ziwei, who are quite martial arts, the rest of them are general. And Pan Wushuang is recuperating from his injuries in Jingzhou, and Hua Ziwei is difficult to hold the overall situation alone. Why did the King of Wei be confined to a place like Yancheng? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart was shocked, as if he had come to his senses, and said in a deep voice.

"According to the view of filial piety, do you want to divide the army alone?!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled brightly, and then taught him so and so. This plan is exquisite, and all the generals in the tent are amazed, and Cao Cao even clasped his palms and praised it. Jia Xu listened to it on the side, and sighed to himself.

Moreover, at the moment, Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's plan, and sent Cao Ren and Manzhong to lead 50,000 troops to Xiangyang, and Xiahoudun also led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and marched to Jingzhou with Jia Xu and Xu Chuwang. Both armies marched long distances. Within a few days before the departure, Cao Cao led his army to storm Yancheng for several days, making Fa Zheng and Hua Xiong ge

Ben didn't have time to take care of the movements of the Wei army. And the two soldiers and horses, both from the first shift in the night, set off in batches, and took the baggage away.

Seven or eight days later, Fa Zhengfang was able to guess Cao Cao's plan to divide the troops from some clues. Fa Zheng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly told Huaxiong of his conjecture. Hua Xiong's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he was anxious to talk to Fa Zheng.

"Most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou gather here. The generals who are good at fighting are also here. If Cao Cao really divides his troops and attacks, Jingzhou will be guarded by General Pan, or he may have no worries, but Xiangyang may not be able to protect it!! ”

The color of the front of the law changed, and Huaxiong said.

"Xiangyang is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is also a place where money and food are abundant, so you must not lose it. In comparison, Yancheng has no value here except for the use of a barrier. The general must make a decision immediately, abandon this city, and transfer to Xiangyang for rescue!! ”

"But Cao Mengdeyan will let us withdraw so easily!!"

Hua Xiong's eyes narrowed, and his face was dark. Fa Zheng thought about the electricity, thought of a plan, and said to Huaxiong.

"You can first teach the sergeant to pack up and rest for the night, and then order a fierce general to lead the army to attack in detail first. The general led most of his troops and horses to retreat to Xiangyang. ”

Hua Xiong thought about it, was very impatient in his heart, and asked suspiciously.

"The situation is urgent. Why don't you just go tonight!? ”

Fa Zheng listened, shook his head and refused.

"No, you can't. Recently, the war was tight, and the soldiers fought fiercely for days, and our army rushed to Xiangyang and traveled a long way. At this time, presumably the group of soldiers and horses sent by Cao Cao was close to the realm of Xiangyang. When our army rushes there, it is inevitable that they will engage the troops and horses. When the time comes, the soldiers will work hard, how will they fight? What's more, if our army withdraws too quickly, it will be discovered by the other army, wouldn't it be a big mistake!? ”

When Hua Xiong heard this, he woke up, and there was no doubt at the moment, so he made orders according to the words of Fazheng. When the army received the order, they hurriedly packed their bags, rested tightly, and prepared to set off immediately after they had made food and had enough food at the time of peace. Compared with the normal hour, the Shu soldiers had just started to make food, and suddenly there were bursts of shouts and killings from all directions. Hua Xiong's complexion changed drastically, and suddenly a soldier came to report, and the Wei army rushed over in three ways. When Hua Xiong heard this, he hurriedly went to the city gate to look, and saw that the three-way Wei army was surging in the east, west, and south directions of the city. Hua Xiong was anxious, and at this time, Fa Zheng rushed over when he heard the news. Fa Zheng saw that the three-way Wei army had been killed five or six miles away, and his face was also cold. The two generals Wu Ban and Zhang Nan, seeing the majestic momentum of the Wei army, were all afraid, and hurriedly persuaded Huaxiong to withdraw from the north gate. Otherwise, when the Wei army arrives, if you want to retreat to Xiangyang, it will undoubtedly be difficult to reach the sky. Hua Xiong asked urgently with Fa Zheng. Now that the situation is passive everywhere, Fa Zheng's heart is also chaotic, and it will be difficult for him to make a choice for a while. At this time, all the generals came to persuade Huaxiong to withdraw early. Fa Fang's face tightened, and he shook his head.

"No, Cao Cao deliberately left the north gate so that we could withdraw our troops, wouldn't there be an ambush!?"

Wu Ban heard the words and said anxiously.

"But if you don't withdraw at this time, once Cao Cao besieges Yancheng. Even if you don't go on the offensive and besiege me for half a month, I'm afraid that Xiangyang will be conquered early!! ”

As soon as Wu Ban said this, all the Shu generals echoed him. Although Hua Xiong didn't speak, looking at his expression, he knew that he also had this intention. Fa Zheng sighed and said sharply.

"If this is the case, General Wu can lead a cavalry to the outpost first. We will lead the army to follow. The whole army set off lightly and burned down all the warehouses and mansions. He carried only three hundred wagons and heavy loads. Yu Road was blocked with firewood to prevent the Wei army from pursuing. ”

Hua Xiong listened, bowed his head heavily, and then made an appointment according to the law. About half an hour later, the three-way Wei army arrived in a siege. Cao Cao saw that the fire in the city was rising, and his color suddenly changed, and he hurriedly called the soldiers to rush into the city to fight. When the three-way Wei army entered, there were no soldiers and horses of the Shu army in Yancheng, Cao Cao ordered Manzhong to lead an army to extinguish the fire, and he personally led the army, galloped out of the north gate, and chased in the direction of Xiangyang. However, he said that Wu Ban was ordered to go first, leading thousands of cavalry to a mountain pass, and suddenly a cannon rang out. I saw a group of people turning out of the roadside.
