"Report."

Late at night, a soldier urgently came to report: "Tiger and leopard riding, Qingzhou soldiers rushed to my inner village camp, and the camp was broken." Our army is returning to the Han River at night. ”

"What!" Lu Bu beat his chest and regretted it: "I didn't expect that Ben Jiang planted the same strategy twice on Cao Cao." ”

Lu Bu was disgraced this time, and was so frightened by Cao Cao's solo cavalry that the army did not dare to cross the river, and missed the opportunity to support Huang Zhong in time. However, the war had just begun, and Cao Cao dispatched tigers and leopards to ride, which was too trivial. Cao Cao's Jingzhou troops were already twice as many as Lu Bu's troops, and he dispatched such an elite as soon as the war began, what was Cao Cao going to do? The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is a nirvana force composed of 100 generals in Cao's army, and every time it fights at the most critical moment, almost all of them exist for the first battle.

Xu Shu didn't sleep all night, and walked in with two dark circles under his eyes: "Cao Cao is really powerful." The inner countryside was blocked again, and the return route of our army was cut again, and the strict formation affected the stability of the army's morale. Let Cao's army also win a small victory, and more importantly, Cao Cao's single cavalry made our army dare not cross the river, breaking the myth of our army, and greatly reducing Cao's army's fear of our army. ”

"Cao Cao is already very powerful, looking at the entire Han Dynasty, Cao Cao deserves to be the first person, I never dared to despise him."

"The lord and Cao Cao, who rules the world, depends on the battle between Jingzhou and Hanoi. In Jingzhou, even if he was defeated by Cao Jun and withdrew from Jingzhou, the lord was already invincible. The key is to look at the battle of Hanoi in the rear, Chang'an has the Yellow River, Tongguan is dangerous, and the main battlefield is behind Cao Cao, which makes Cao Cao even more worried. As long as the lord drags Cao Cao's army in Jingzhou, sit and wait for the announcement. ”

"So what now?"

"Cao Cao's army is on the defensive in the inner countryside. The defenders were twice as large as ours, and it was extremely difficult for our army to overcome. In this case, it is better to fortify along the river, and the army will go south to detain Fancheng, which Cao Cao occupies, and shock Jingzhou's strong and powerful, and completely disrupt Jingzhou. ”

Lu Bu suddenly laughed, and in this way, he turned passive into active. Isn't Cao Cao's purpose to go down to Jingzhou, Lu Bu will take the lead and let Cao Cao be caught in the middle. Restricting the grain and grass of the army is not a problem for Lu Bu. The millions of stones of grain and grass hoarded by Lu Bu's people's heart mall, and the savings accumulated by the Shen family in Shangyong for decades, are enough for Lu Bu's army to squander for ten years.

"What about the losses of our army?" Lu Bu is more concerned about this issue and more concerned about the generals in the army.

"There were heavy casualties among the soldiers, and there was not one in ten. Fortunately, General Huang only suffered a few flesh wounds. The soldier said.

"What about Hao Zhao?"

"The war is unfavorable, and I am worried that there will be no general in Wuguan to close the customs, so I have not gone south, and have returned to Wuguan Road."

Lu Bu exhaled, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. This battle was originally due to Lu Bu's miscalculation of Cao Cao's layout, so he lost miserably. However, Hao Zhao was a wise general, and he did not follow Huang Zhong to the south, but retreated to Wuguan. If Cao Cao waved his army to capture Wuguan, Chang'an would be in turmoil.

When Lü Bu led the army to the place where Huang Zhong crossed the river, on the river, the dense pontoon bridge spread the river surface as flat ground, and Cao Cao, who was overwhelming, was following and killing.

The soldiers of Chang'an, who crossed the riverbank, were resisting under the command of Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was covered in blood, his long beard was uneven, and his helmet was lost somewhere, and his hair was like straw.

Huang Zhong slashed over a Cao soldier who rushed ashore on a pontoon bridge, and shouted: "Don't let Cao Bing cross the river." ”

Cao Jun, under the command of Zhang Hedi, rushed very quickly, crashed into the shore without fear of death, and crashed into the defensive line of Huang Zhongdi. On the river, the Cao army crossed the river on a large scale, and rows of soldiers were shot into the water, and the cold river water could not stop the impact of the Cao army.

The defense line was compressed a little bit, and there were long queues of Cao troops in the rear, seeing that the defense line was about to be broken. A young general stepped forward: "Old general, retreat." There are too many enemy troops, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave. ”

"Fight to the death. Behind us is the Shangyong Tomb, this Han water is the last natural danger, and we must not let Cao Junbing come to the city! ”

"Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"

Suddenly, a soldier saw a dragon the size of an ant in the distance and wept with excitement. Huang Zhong raised his head and opened his eyes in distraction.

In the east, a column of Chang'an troops stepped on the morning sun and advanced along the riverbank.

"Edict to beg the thief, kill!"

Lu Bu obliquely pointed at the halberd and raised his head to the sky and shouted. Hundreds of generals behind him raised their knives at the same time: "Obey the edict to beg the thief, kill!" "The soldiers came out of the cage like a fierce tiger, and only pounced on the Cao army across the river.

The generals took the lead and angrily seized the banks of the river occupied by the Cao army.

From the beginning of the day to the middle of the day, the corpses piled up more and more on the narrow riverbank, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides were piled up on top of each other, raising the ground by three feet. Lu Bujun launched a suicidal attack, all of them were not afraid of death, and used their bodies to resist Cao's army and landed. Countless Cao troops were driven into the water. Counterattack Cao's superior forces with inferior numbers.

The Han River is full of red.

On the surface of the river, the corpse of Cao Bingdi was densely floated, and it failed miserably in the river water, and the Han water did not flow. Cao Cao's proud Qingzhou soldiers were killed in large numbers.

The Qingzhou soldiers are the main force of the Cao army, and they are also the elite of the Cao army. After a large number of casualties, on both sides of the Han River, the shouts of killing continued unabated, but the intensity of Cao's army's offensive began to decrease sharply, and there was no timely support, and the warriors who stayed on the battlefield could not get support, and the casualties were even more rapid.

Lu Bu felt a little tired in his heart, stopped numbly chopping his arms, and looked up at the battlefield. On the other side, at least more than 100,000 Cao soldiers were shouting and cheering, but their feet seemed to have taken root, and they just didn't move an inch.

Lu Bu's heart moved: Could it be that this is the miscellaneous soldiers collected from Yuan Shao after Cao Cao swept Hebei? These people have long been ruffians, they had no combat power when they were under Yuan Shao, and after surrendering to Cao Cao, they didn't return to their hearts, shouting and cheering on the battlefield, and it was already very good that they didn't run away, so they could only fill up and fight a good fight. Although Yuan Shao did not have much power, he vigorously developed people's livelihood and was more popular than Cao Cao.

"Annihilate the Cao army!"

In the sky above the battlefield, Lu Budi shouted angrily and cut through the sky, and the mountains shook with echoes. Cao Jun was shocked, and when he looked back, he found that on the surface of the Hanshui River, except for the floating corpses in the river, no living people rushed to support, only the countless shouts on the shore cheered them on, they have been misled by this shout, and mistakenly thought that Cao Jun was crossing the river in a steady stream.

Among the Lu Bu soldiers, he suddenly shook and Zhang He from a distance, glanced at each other from a distance, and shouted at the same time: "Retreat!" ”

Lu Meng snorted coldly, and raised his knife to kill Xu Huang.

"Want to go?" Lu Lingqi and Ma Yunlu led five hundred female servants to supplement the women's battalion, killed the shore, and locked the river.

"The thief is going to die!" Huang Zhong was furious, and swung his sword straight at the place where Cao's army gathered. The war horse had not yet galloped two steps, and picked up the bow and arrows. The three arrows fired together, up, middle and down, and locked Xu Huang's retreat in three directions. Xu Huang was attacking Lu Meng with all his might, and he had the spare strength to dodge the cold arrows that were quick and fast.

In the afterglow, the white light was like electricity, Xu Huang's heart was beating suddenly, and his vigilance increased greatly. Hurriedly swinging the big axe tightly and airy. Ding, Xu Huang slapped away the two arrows, suddenly his eyes widened angrily, a slightly slower and weaker arrow, poof, when the chest was shot into, the huge force was like a giant hammer, Xu Huang was directly shot off the horse, the moment he hit the ground, the corner of his eyes was held to a fist on the chest The earth transparent hole, and he could see the wriggling internal organs inside.

As soon as Lu Meng waved his knife and chopped it, he saw that Xu Huang had planted the horse's back, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse, cut off Xu Huang's head and hung it on the side of the horse.

Zhang He looked at Xu Huang in a daze, and Xu Huang couldn't see the process in a different place. I feel sad. Commanding the soldiers to kill by the river. When he met Lu Lingqi, he didn't talk to him, Xu Huang rushed over first, bringing up a butt of mud.

"Die!"

Zhang He had a halberd, as strong as a thousand catties, and jumped up, the halberd was as fast as lightning, and he slashed at Lu Lingqi who came forward, and was about to smash Lu Lingqi into two, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Lu Lingqi's feet were strangely staggered, dodging Zhang He's heavy blow, and with a touch of his wrist, the crescent halberd was fickle, and the tip of the halberd stabbed Zhang He's wrist dexterously. Zhang He was fierce, did not dodge or dodge, sneered, his arm hurt, and a big hole was opened, and the blood flowed like a column.

"Aha!"

When the halberd was about to run out of strength, it suddenly rose from the ground, turned into a sweep, and swept Lu Lingqi at the waist. It turned out that Zhang He had already made up his mind that both sides would be defeated, and Cao's army was surrounded by Lu Bu's army, and Zhang He had to break through the siege in a race against time.

"Hmph."

Lu Lingqi snorted, there was a huge gap in strength, and the whole person was swept back upside down and crashed into the women's camp, and the soldiers of the women's camp helped her up.

Zhang He didn't wait for Lu Lingqi to get up and fight again, and the killing general came in.

"Rats are so daring!" Ma Yunlu rebuked angrily. The female soldiers of the women's battalion suddenly moved, with Zhang He as the center, thirty or forty halberds rolled Zhang He in the center, and at the same time divided into two wings to block the Zhang He soldiers who rushed over from the formation.

The women's battalion attacked and defended in unison, and with the strength of several hundred people, they simply blocked the Cao army who rushed forward from the battle, and surrounded Zhang He with Zhonghe.

Zhang He bumped in, front and back, left and right, in all directions, full of stabbing halberds, lacking skills, blocking the front, injured in the back, resisting the back, and being cut in front of the door. After a few breaths, the helmet was cut off, the flesh and blood on the wrist were blurred, and the blood and blue meridians were picked out, the hands could not exert force, the halberd fell into the mud with a clatter, and the iron pieces of the fish scale chain mail on the body were picked off piece by piece, and the body was severely injured in hundreds of places, and there was no intact skin on the chest and back.

Finally, Ma Yunlu penetrated Zhang He with a shot in the chest, and Zhang He's burly body smashed into the mud.

Zhang He's tragic death made Cao Jun, who was storming the wall, tremble, and what he saw was not a group of women, but a group of beasts. Behind Cao Jun, there was the Chang'an army that was chasing and killing, and the main general Zhang He was dead, so there was no need to continue fighting. Cao's troops began to avoid the women's camp to hold the river bank ferry, and rushed far away to the Han River.

Countless Cao troops, who had no time to find the pontoon bridge, saw the enemy chasing after them, jumped into the Han River, stepped on the corpses in the river, and waded across the river.
