By the Surabaya River, looking at Tao Ying, who was eating in a big gulp and eating particularly fragrantly, the generals seemed to understand a truth, and they all went back calmly, and the soldiers began to pick up their bowls and eat quietly. It seems that everyone is now beginning to believe that Tao Ying is a messenger sent from heaven, he will not die, and everything is under his control.

Only Tao Ying frowned and scolded while gnawing on meat: "Damn, if you want to die, you have to be a full ghost, it's not that you haven't died, you will die early, and your mother will give birth early!" ”

When the sentry came again to report that Cao Chun's soldiers and horses were less than five miles away, Tao Ying had a good meal, and everyone had eaten a good meal and came to ask Tao how to do it.

How should it be good, and how would Tao Ying know? After thinking about it for a long time, I had to say: "I just arrived when I was eating, and this battle will be won." Also, that, that, that, by the way, pass the order, the gods have said that we have committed the killing precept, and we should all go to hell, but if we die in battle, we will be taken care of by the Surabaya River God, and we will become the sailors of the Surabaya River God, and our souls will never die! ”

Maybe it's because I've read too many fairy novels, and as soon as he brags, Tao Ying can't stop talking. The generals passed on Tao Ying's nonsense one by one, as soon as they heard that this battle would definitely be won, and even if they died, they would become river gods, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers burned again, and they added fuel and vinegar one by one to pass it on, and finally it turned into a hell if they ran away, and they could become a river god if they died in battle!

If a person is going to die, and you tell you that you will go to heaven after you die, and you will have no pain in heaven, no longer be poor, how happy will you be, then the dying will not be so afraid of death!

So in order to pay tribute to the river god, Tao Ying really let people kill pigs and sheep, and then threw the pigs and sheep into the Surabaya River, whether there is a river god Tao Ying doesn't know, but Tao Ying would rather believe that there is really a river god!

After worshipping the river god, Chen Deng ordered the army to start arranging on the side of the Surabaya River, and for a while Tao Ying began to preach again: "Behind us is Surabaya, we have no way to retreat, only to fight to the death Cao thief, there is a glimmer of life!" The immortal go to Tan County to enjoy the blessings, I have told the river god who died in battle, the river god will invite you to be the guests, brothers and sisters, ah no, brothers, for the people of Xuzhou, bravely rush forward! ”

The herald passed Tao Ying's words one by one to the soldiers at the front, and the morale of the soldiers was boosted again for a while. Sometimes people become terrible once they have faith, just like the Japanese people believed in the emperor in the past, so they are always fearless.

When Cao Chun's army arrived at the Surabaya River day and night, the men and horses were exhausted, he originally thought that the Surabaya River would be crowded with Xuzhou soldiers, but he didn't expect that in the cold wind, under the first rays of sunlight in the morning, a group of orderly soldiers were lining up in a phalanx waiting for his arrival.

Seeing that the soldiers were arranged so neatly, it seemed that he had made up his mind to fight him to the death, and now Cao Chun's heart was bottomless, and he was really stunned by Tao Ying.

It seems that Tao Ying has never understood, the two armies are facing each other, and the closer they get, the more Cao Chun's military horse slows down. The deputy official next to him also looked incredulous, what the hell is this Tao Ying doing?

"General, what the hell are these Xuzhou soldiers doing? How is it so elusive? ”

After the adjutant asked, Cao Chun didn't speak but stared at the well-rehearsed Xuzhou soldiers and horses from a distance, some people said that this Tao Ying was originally a gentleman who did all kinds of evil, but when he met the immortals, he learned to count the world's things with the immortals, so he suddenly became a myth of Xuzhou!

But Cao Chun doesn't believe in this evil, this Tao should definitely be a delaying plan! He wanted to scare himself away again and make his soldiers' morale worse once and for all!

When they got closer, Cao Chun waved his hand, and his cavalry began to charge at an accelerated pace. The ancients paid the most attention to etiquette in war, Tao Ying thought that Cao Chun would come up to say hello to him and then start a war, but he didn't expect that he would rush over directly without saying hello, and Tao Ying had to let Chen Deng command the army and horses to meet the battle.

He didn't have a military advisor, so he could only let Chen Deng be a military advisor, and Tao Ying swore in his heart that he would go to Jingzhou to invite Zhuge Liang after this battle. Zhuge Liang is also a native of Xuzhou, and he is powerful, so he can't believe that he can't be invited, and when the time comes, Zhuge is still afraid of his little Cao Ren?

The cavalry rushed in, Tao Ying intended to let Xu Sheng lead five hundred cavalry to meet the enemy, but Chen Deng said that he could not let the cavalry go first, this night's rush must have Cao Ren's cavalry was more sleepy, Cao Ren only made a tentative attack, the purpose was to know the strength of Tao Ying's soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Tao Ying put all the cavalry aside and did not use it, so that the shield and spear were used to consume the enemy, and the enemy did not dare to fight with all his strength, because they knew that the other party still had a family foundation that had not yet been used, and when they and the infantry were both defeated, the other party would send out the cavalry again, and their own military horses would be defeated!

After all, Cao Ren is a battle-hardened veteran, he seems so confident in everything he does, and although he makes a lot of mistakes, he can correct them immediately, which is why he can defeat so many reinforcements.

Nearly a thousand cavalry poured in like a tide, and the cavalry shouted to attack the infantry of Tao Ying's formation, I have to say that this time Cao Chun dared to attack more with less or for his reasons, because at a glance, Tao Ying's military horses were mainly attacking, and the cavalry cooperated with a large number of infantry, but the defensive arms seemed to be extremely lacking.

As soon as the army fought, the first group of cavalry was quickly blocked by the shield at the beginning, and the spears behind the shield came out, and dozens of horses were stabbed down by the spears, and the spears behind them stabbed the fallen cavalry into a hornet's nest, and everyone roared angrily to meet the second wave of cavalry, Tao Ying only knew that the cavalry was powerful but never knew why the cavalry was powerful, but this time he understood it.

The impact of the first wave of cavalry led to the rout of the shield soldiers, and the subsequent cavalry horses jumped directly over the shield to the Xuzhou soldiers behind the shield. As soon as the war horse jumped up, the soldiers hurriedly scattered in all directions, and a long knife slashed around, and those Xuzhou soldiers began to flee in all directions, and soon a big gap in Tao Ying's army was torn open.

The follow-up cavalry pierced into the Xuzhou soldiers like a sharp sword, like a ship, and the water waves rippled after the boat passed. Nearly 10,000 cavalry actually let more than 1,000 cavalry chase and fight around, looking at the momentum, Tao Ying's heart was cold, no wonder Xuzhou has been defeated repeatedly, how can such soldiers and horses win?

The cavalry quickly broke through the first line of defense arranged by Chen Deng, which seemed to be effortless, and Cao Chun also tried to find out that Tao Ying's soldiers and horses were nothing more than that, but this Tao Ying was good at confusing people's hearts, so Cao Chun also led the troops to rush all the way to kill!

Soon when the first line of defense was breached, the soldiers of the second line of defense became a little timid, and as soon as the cavalry arrived, the soldiers began to retreat as soon as they released a burst of arrows.

Seeing that this battle seemed to have been lost, Chen Deng sighed and began to persuade Tao Yinglai: "Lord Taishou, cross the river quickly, Cao's army is strong, go first this time, and come to take revenge next time!" ”

What does it mean that Cao's army is powerful? 10,000 people against 1,000 people, but looking at a group of soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, even Tao Ying couldn't help but sigh, alas, defeat is defeat, at least I know that this ancient army is not child's play, and it must not be so reckless in the future!

Thinking of this, Tao Ying stood on the command platform and waved his hand to the soldiers by the river to signal them to retreat, those soldiers were sent by him in advance, Tao Ying originally wanted to scare everyone to move forward desperately, so let them pretend to cut the bridge.

But when one of the centurions on the bridge saw Tao Ying's beckoning, the centurion also waved his hand, and a dozen soldiers hurriedly began to cut down the Surabaya bridge.

The wooden bridge was almost cut by Cao Bing, and after this indiscriminate chopping, only a loud pop was heard, and the only bridge in the Surabaya River broke in this way.

Then there was a louder bang, and a huge piece of wood smashed into the water, causing a thousand waves.
