Yingshui stretches for thousands of miles from east to west, is the first major tributary of the Huai River, and has abundant water throughout the year, because it originates from the territory of Yingchuan, so it is named.

Sima Yi expected that Xue Rengui would lose the car and give up Runan for the sake of Shouchun; And the way to get rid of the pursuit is to advance and retreat, so on the one hand, he arranged a fire ox array, and on the other hand, he ordered Cao Hong to build a dam on the high ground in the north of Ruyin and hoard floods, in order to flood Xue Rengui and cut off his retreat.

Hearing the horn sounding, Cao Hong, who had been in ambush for many days, ordered the embankment to burst and release the water, and the rushing flood suddenly caught the Han army off guard, and the formation was in chaos.

The troops led by Xue Rengui happened to retreat to a hilly area, and in a hurry, they went up the high slope one after another, so as to avoid the doom of being swept away by the flood.

But Ma Zhong, who had been lying in ambush downstream of Yingshui, did not have such good luck, because his troops hid in the grass and ditches, and were swept away by the rushing flood, and many soldiers who were caught off guard drowned, and their bodies tumbled downstream along the turbid waves.

Seeing that Ma Zhong's troops were washed away by the flood, Cao Hong immediately abandoned Xue Rengui and led more than 10,000 Cao troops to ride hundreds of large and small bamboo rafts and boats, and went down the river to harvest the heads of the Han soldiers. Everywhere he went, he slashed at the water, and the Han army was killed.

"That person seems to be the Han general Ma Zhong, the one who is known as the god hunting general!"

In the midst of the rolling torrent, the sharp-eyed Sergeant Cao recognized Ma Zhong, who was about to swim to escape, and reminded Cao Hong loudly.

Cao Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed: "Sure enough, it is a cycle of heavenly principles, and retribution is not happy!" I heard that he Ma Zhong arrested people before, and he was a nobody. Relying on opportunistic tricks to play yin, he captured many heroes and heroes. He has forged his name as a god general, and now he is also giving him a taste of being caught! ”

Cao Hong laughed loudly. While urging the bamboo raft under his feet to hurry forward, he chased after Ma Zhong.

The flood was surging, surging and surging, and the huge impact force staggered Ma Zhongchong, relying on his good water nature to avoid the doom of drowning, but when he was swimming to the shore, he found that he had been targeted by Cao Jun, and he could only look up to the sky and sigh: "Heaven is dead, my Ma Zhong is also!" ”

Before the words fell, Cao Hong had already driven the bamboo raft to the front, and dozens of Cao Jun crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows one after another. Ma Zhong, who aimed at the water, shouted in unison: "Surrender and avoid death!" ”

Ma Zhong looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lao Tzu has also had a good time in his life, but today he is unlucky, and if he is on your way, Lao Tzu admits defeat!" If the crockpot is not broken from Inoue, the general will inevitably die before the battle, and Lao Tzu has already counted such a day! But if you want to capture me Ma Zhong alive, you will dream! ”

"Cast the net!"

Cao Hong pointed the spear in his hand at Ma Zhong, and ordered the soldiers around him to throw out the fishing net and cover Ma Zhong.

But Ma Zhong, who was determined to die, had already drawn his sword in his hand. Erased towards his neck: "My Ma Zhong has captured a total of six Wenchen generals in this life, including many commanders like Sun Ce and Wang Ben, even if he dies, he can go down in history, and he will have no regrets if he dies!" ”

The voice did not fall. A stream of blood burst out of his neck, and his throat was torn apart. A wave rolled over and disappeared in an instant. Cao Hong hurriedly ordered the search for the body, but where to look for it in the rushing turbid waves?

Xue Rengui led his troops to line up on the hills. The number of people was counted, and more than 5,000 people were lost. Seeing that the ambush led by Ma Zhong was flooded, nine times out of ten the situation was the annihilation of the entire army.

This made Xue Rengui heartbroken, clenched his fists and shouted: "Sima Yi, this traitor, I, Xue Rengui, swear not to stand with him!" ”

Due to the surging flood and the wanton galloping, Xue Rengui's soldiers and horses could only be temporarily stationed on the hillside, and Cao's army could not come over, so they could only wait for the flood to retreat before dividing the victory. But for Cao Jun, as long as he can stop Xue Rengui from rescuing Shouchun, even one day is crucial!

Zhu Sheng, who returned to Han after Zhu Yuanzhang's defeat, comforted Xue Rengui beside him: "General Xue, don't be angry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Sima Yi is cunning with soldiers, and it seems that the general's style is restrained, just like the general slightly beat Lu Bu, maybe this is the saying 'one thing descends one thing', right?" Since we can't suppress Sima Yi, let's wait for the flood to retreat, and wait for the arrival of Kong Ming's reinforcements before trying to figure out a good strategy, right? ”

"Sima Yi's use of soldiers is insidious enough, this is his strength; And my strength is Wu Yong, since I can't compare to him with strategy, I will challenge him with Wu Yong! Xue Rengui raised his eyes to look at the Cao army camp in the distance, and swore with his fists fiercely.

The Han army was trapped on the hillside for the night, and by dawn the flood had receded, and the ground was covered with silt.

Cao Ren, Zhang Yan, Yan Xing, and Cao Hong each commanded 10,000 horses and surrounded them from four directions, southeast, northwest, and northwest, forming an encirclement posture in an attempt to trap the Han army on the hillside.

Xue Rengui snorted coldly: "Cao Ren relied on Sima Yi's treacherous tricks to win two games in a row, and now he is so arrogant, he wants to surround and annihilate my team with only 40,000 horses, it is really arrogant!" I, Xue Rengui, want to leave, how can I stop me with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals? ”

"General Xue, Shouchun only has 15,000 men and horses from Ma Dai, and in the face of Cao Cao's onslaught of more than 100,000 heavy troops, I'm afraid it won't last long. Since the general has the confidence to lead his troops to break through, let's not entangle with Cao Bing anymore and break through to the east, right? Zhu Sheng was afraid that Xue Rengui would love to fight, so he tried his best to persuade Xue Rengui to withdraw from the army.

"It's okay to retreat, but at least you have to breathe out the evil anger in your heart!"

Xue Rengui took off the white robe on his body as he spoke, and draped it on Lu Junyi's body, "General Lu first pretended to be the general to attract Cao Jun's attention, and I went to kill him back and forth, and cut off the head of an enemy general to come back to pay tribute to Ma Zhong's spirit in the sky!" ”

Before the words fell, Xue Rengui had already urged the red rabbit horse under his crotch, carried the thunder green dragon halberd in his hand, and swooped down from the hillside towards Cao Jun at his feet.

In order to cover Xue Rengui, Lu Junyi wore a white robe, ordered his soldiers to waving the banner of "Xue", and the whole army shouted loudly, pretending to break through to the bottom of the hillside. In this way, he mobilized the formation of Cao Bing, created chaos, and created conditions for Xue Rengui's assault.

"Kill!"

The sound of killing on the hillside shook the sky, and Lu Junyi led his troops to cover the killing, and the bows and crossbows were fired together, forming a melee with Cao's army.

Taking advantage of the fact that Cao Jun's attention was attracted by Lu Junyi, Xue Rengui urged the horse to lift the halberd and go straight into the Cao army's formation.

The cold light of the thunder and blue dragon halberd of one zhang seven was waved, and with the galloping of the red rabbit horse, it was like a line of lightning, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere it passed, and the broken limbs and the dirt splashed by the horse's hooves reflected each other, which looked abrupt and bloody.

Xue Rengui rushed into battle on horseback, sprinted down, and beheaded one hundred and seventy-three Wei troops, two partial generals, captains, military waiters, etc., and finally frightened the Cao army in front of him to dodge one after another, and did not dare to block it head-on, "Quickly retreat and dodge, this guy is so powerful!" ”

Yan Xing, the Wei general in charge of supervising the formation, was furious, and urged Ma to rush over with a knife: "What are you panicking about? There is only one enemy general, give me a formation to surround and kill! ”

"This one seems to be Xue Lihe!"

"Isn't it Xue Li, riding Lu Bu's red rabbit horse back then!"

Despite Yan Xing's forcible pressure, few of Cao Jun's dared to jump out to make a bird, and they all made noise.

Yan Xing looked up at the hillside with a puzzled expression: "Isn't the military general wearing a white robe on the mountain under the banner of the word 'Xue' Xue Li?" ”

Just as he was surprised, Xue Rengui had already urged the horse to rush over, and he didn't answer, he slashed with the halberd.

With a cold glow, Deng Shi cut down five or six of Yan Xing's soldiers in front of his horse, and the rest of the people were surprised and hurriedly ran. Xue Rengui roared angrily, and the thunder green dragon halberd in his hand rushed towards Yan Xingdang's chest.

"Ding-dong...... Xue Rengui's halberd god attribute is activated, the force is random +5, the base force is 102, the red rabbit horse is +1, the thunder green dragon halberd is +1, and the current force soars to 109! ”

"Ding-dong...... Xue Rengui killed Wei General Yan Xing in seconds - 89 in force, 84 in command, 62 in intelligence, and 47 in politics! ”

Yan Xing swung his knife to block, but unexpectedly, Xue Rengui's halberd was false, and before he could change his move, he was stabbed in the abdomen by a halberd. The sharp halberd blade pierced through the armor at once, penetrated into the chest raw, tore all the internal organs, and fell off the horse with a scream.

Xue Rengui leaned over the horse, picked up the saber from his waist, cut Yan Xing's head and hung it in front of the horse. He urged Ma to cut off the banner of the word "Yan", and then he grew a bad breath in his heart, "Happy, Brother Ma Zhong, you can look at it under Jiuquan!" ”

The banner of the main general was cut down, Yan Xing's troops were in chaos, Xue Rengui was not in a hurry to kill back to the hillside, but charged all the way, rushing to the Cao army camp to kill the past, and all he saw in his eyes was the word "Sima" on the hunting banner.

At the urging of Xue Rengui, the red rabbit horse spread its four hooves, the wind under its feet, trampled on the mud, and rushed towards the Cao army camp with an unstoppable momentum.

Cao's heavy troops were all surrounding the hillside, and after being rushed away by Xue Rengui, there was not much obstruction on the road. Along the way, they encountered some small groups at most, and they scattered and broke away without effort, and in a few moments, there was only less than a mile left from Cao's camp.

Sima Yi was looking at the distant hillside from the command platform, and suddenly lowered his head, only to find that a member of the Han had rushed over with a single halberd, and his indomitable momentum was daunting, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the crossbowman to step forward to block.

With Sima Yi's order, three thousand Cao army archers rushed out of the camp gate, and the arrows were fired in unison, like flying locusts.

"Eat me with an arrow!"

Xue Rengui's eyes radiated the light of hatred, and he didn't pay any attention to the range of Cao Jun's crossbowmen, and hung the Thunder Green Dragon Halberd on the saddle while galloping, and picked the "clouds and smoke for thousands of miles" with his backhand, pulled the bowstring like a full moon, and shot a carving feather towards Sima Yi.

I saw that this off-string arrow was like a meteor, flying over the head of the Wei army with the sound of a whistling wind, and went straight to the high platform.

Cao Jun's bow and arrow range was 100 zhang, Xue Rengui was still 150 zhang away from Cao Jun, and Sima Yi's command platform was still about 80 zhang away from Cao's crossbowmen. Before Sima Yi could react, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he was shot to the ground. (To be continued.) )
