It all happened too quickly, too suddenly.

Before the New Han army was arranged, the people of Jiangdu City flocked out of the city.

When Sun Ce and other generals and civilian officials of the New Han Army went to the camp to inspect, what they saw was indeed the people in Jiangdu City. It's all men, women, and children who are dragging their families.

The scene was also a little chaotic, after the people in the Jiangdu City poured out of the city, they did not run directly to one place, but as soon as they left the city, they scattered in all directions, and some even ran directly to the barracks of the New Han Army.

For a while, the Xinhan army was a little dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to deal with these people who ran out of Jiangdu City for a while.

Of course, it was also very noisy, the people were shouting and screaming, and some of the babies were crying and crying, which was quite chaotic.

Those people who ran to the front of the New Han Army camp and went straight to the New Han Army camp, they shouted even louder, saying that they had defected to the New Han Army, so that the New Han Army should not misunderstand, and some cried and asked the New Han Army to take them in and contain them. More of them cried that they had nothing left, fled from Jiangdu City, and everything depended on the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army to survive, crying and kneeling, asking the New Han Army to help their family live.

Anyway, there are all kinds of situations in life.

The New Han Army urgently reported to Sun Ce, Lu Su and others, and several gates of Jiangdu City were like this, and countless people poured out, crying and coming to defect, begging the New Han Army to contain them.

A bad feeling came over me.

Sun Ce and the generals looked at each other, and then, Sun Ce slapped his thigh. Wake up and say, "Not good! Cao Hong is running away! ”

"Cao Hong wants to escape?" The general, who still didn't understand the situation, still looked puzzled.

"This is Cao Hong's conspiracy. The intention is to use the people of Jiangdu City to disrupt the military formation of our New Han Army and disturb the sight of our army. Then, Cao Hong led his Cao army to break through the chaos and break through the defensive line we had laid out to escape from Jiangdu. Lu Su also came to his senses and explained to the generals.

"What? General Sun, we can't let Cao Hong escape! When the generals heard this, they were a little anxious.

Sun Ce's heart was also a little anxious, but although he vaguely thought that Cao Hong was going to escape, Sun Ce was also a little blind in the face of the situation in front of him. The scene is so chaotic, it seems that they are all the people of Jiangdu City, what can they do now? Stop the people of Jiangdu City from going out of the city to join themselves? Forbidding anyone to come near their own barracks? No one is allowed to leave Jiangdu City?

However, there is already a chaotic situation, what if the New Han Army can stop it? Hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangdu City poured out of Jiangdu City, and the number of people was much larger than that besieging Jiangdu City. At this time, if the New Han Army had any coercive orders or behaviors, it would definitely cause panic among the hundreds of thousands of Jiangdu people. Once hundreds of thousands of ordinary people riot, then the matter is big.

Raise knives and guns against the people of these Jiangdu? Don't even think about it, at this time, in front of these excited people. As long as this head is opened and one of them is killed, then it will definitely cause unrest among all the people of Jiangdu. Then. I'm afraid they trample on each other and don't know how many human tragedies they will create.

Sun Ce asked Lu Su with an ugly face: "Mr. Lu Su, according to you." What do we do now? ”

"General Sun Ce, there is no good way for Lu to do it now." Lu Su also shook his head with a bitter face.

"It's infuriating. I didn't expect this Cao Hong to be so treacherous, and he would actually come up with this trick to sin us. Sun Ce said angrily.

"This is Cao Hong's conspiracy, he is like this now, even if we have seen his plan, but we have nothing to do with him." Lu Su said helplessly.

"No! What must we do, we can't just watch the chaos of the people of Jiangdu and watch Cao Hong flee like this, right? Sun Ce's eyes were red, and he swept towards the people in front of the barracks and said fiercely.

Lu Su was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand: "General Sun, don't be impulsive, in the current situation, we must not force ourselves." Otherwise, our New Han Army had a conflict with these hundreds of thousands of Jiangdu people, and it is a matter of how many people will be killed and injured in the end, but once Cao Cao will seize the handle and use this as an example to publicize how brutal our New Han Army is to the people, in the future, there will be more people who do not know the inside story and are deceived by Cao Cao to hate our New Han Army. This is not conducive to the overall situation of our unification of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Tell me about it, what now? annoyed General Ben, so it doesn't matter if they are the people or the Cao army. Sun Ce lost his temper and said.

"Well, General Sun, wait and see, what the general said is right, we can't really do nothing now......" Lu Su immediately started his brain, pondered for a while, and said as if he had an idea all of a sudden: "Yes, General Sun Ce, let's use Yang Mou against Yang Mou, and see what he Cao Hong can do." ”

"Oh? How is it? As soon as Sun Ce heard that he had a plan, he hurriedly asked.

"We have to make preparations with both hands, now, please give the general an order first, let our besieging military horses shrink back quickly, and simply get out of the way for Cao Hong to escape. In this way, our army can avoid being damaged by the sneak attack of Cao's army, which is mixed with the people. Reduce the loss of our soldiers. ”

"That's right! Command ......"

"Wait, at the same time, General Sun Ce, you immediately order, the cavalry in our army will assemble, and we will wait for Cao Hong to escape from Jiangdu City, and then lead the army to pursue, so that it is much better to fight Cao Hong in the field than to force the city to attack the city. Even if we can't destroy Cao Hong's entire army, we must let Cao Hong lose his troops. Lu Su hurriedly confessed.

"Good! That's it! Sun Ce listened to the guard, and without thinking, he ordered the personal soldiers around him to quickly order the military camps of all armies to besiege the city, so that all the New Han troops would act immediately.

"Next." Lu Su looked at the chaotic Jiangdu people in front of him and said: "You can take our New Han Army out of the camp and form a formation, warn those chaotic people, and warn them not to rush into our military camp. Also, let our sergeants shout. Just shout that our New Han Army takes it as its responsibility to protect the people of the Han Dynasty and will never harm the people of Jiangdu City. It's just that none of them are allowed to be chaotic or noisy. They are not allowed to run around, and according to our request, let them leave Jiangdu City through the gap we let out. If you want our new Han Dynasty to settle them, we will bring them into our military camp and put them in custody. Tell them that we can take care of everything for them, but we must not allow them to storm our barracks, or they will be killed as a rebellion! ”

Lu Su quickly sorted out his clue and told the plan of how to deal with the chaotic people of Jiangdu in front of him.

Lu Su's plan is indeed very targeted. When the following officers and soldiers of the New Han Army went to carry it out, it did quickly get results.

That, these Jiangdu people who were deceived out of the city by Cao Hong, naturally they couldn't really not even want their lives. When their demands were agreed to by the New Han Army, they had no reason to make any more trouble. If a few individuals are still endless, and they want to create chaos and panic, they will be dealt with according to Cao Jun's spies. And it makes sense. This also makes those Jiangdu people who ran out of Jiangdu City have no reason to mess around anymore.

But. At this time, north of Jiangdu City, Cao Hong was already mixed in a crowd.

Almost all of these people were his soldiers.

To confuse the public. Cao Hong also deliberately let his Cao soldiers all change into the clothes of ordinary people and hide all the generals. mingled with the common people, and went out of the city together.

When Sun Ce's first order came. Let the New Han Army get out of the way, and let the people who intend to flee Jiangdu City leave. Cao Hong did not hesitate to lead his men out of the gap opened by the New Han Army.

In the beginning. Naturally, the New Han Army could not immediately identify which ones were Cao Bing and which were the people of Jiangdu.

However, when they left Jiangdu City and hurried north in groups, the soldiers of the New Han Army suddenly felt suspicious.

After reporting to Sun Ce urgently, Sun Ce and others also determined that it must be Cao Hong's people.

So, Sun Ce ordered the New Han Army to immediately seal the gap that was opened and no longer let people leave. Of course, in order not to cause a riot among those people, it is not that they are not allowed to leave, but that they are allowed to leave from the direction of another city gate in Jiangdu. In this way, the possibility of Cao's army continuing to retreat in the same direction was blocked.

This one, Cao Hong didn't expect either.

Because the New Han Army is like this, but it also makes those people in Jiangdu have nothing to say, and now the New Han Army is not saying that they will not be allowed to leave Jiangdu, but just asking them to leave from the other direction. If they wanted to say more, the New Han Army would arrest them or kill them on the spot as spies of the Cao Army.

For Cao Bing, who failed to escape from Jiangdu with Cao Hong in the first place, he suddenly panicked. Cao Hong had already led part of the Cao army to leave, and they had no backbone, and for a while, they did not dare to forcibly attack the men and horses of the New Han Army.

At the same time, Sun Ce personally led the Lin to assemble and tens of thousands of cavalry drawn from various armies and began to pursue the men and horses who had withdrawn from the north of the city and fled all the way north.

At this time, it was Cao Hong's turn to panic a little. He originally wanted to arrange it this way, using the people of Jiangdu City to create chaos, and then he could lead his army to evacuate Jiangdu City. However, his plan seemed to work, but he didn't expect that there were only about 100,000 people who could evacuate from Jiangdu City with him. He was also negligent for a while, his 200,000 men and horses, the number of which was too many, and if they all left the north of the city at once, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Xinhan army.

In this way, it is equivalent to letting Cao Hong lose nearly half of his men and horses at once. That's more than 100,000 elite Cao troops. These Cao troops, mixed among the people of Jiangdu, once they are separated by the New Han Army, I am afraid that they will all be finished.

In fact, even if they are not distinguished by the New Han Army, these Cao soldiers don't know when they want to return to the establishment in the future. also directly made him Cao Hong immediately reduce nearly half of the military horses now, how can this make him deal with the New Han Army again?

Of course, what made Cao Hong even more panicked was that he led the people and horses who fled out of Jiangdu with him did not leave Jiangdu far, and not far behind him, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

"The cavalry of the New Han Army is coming! Run! ”

Even if Cao Hong didn't panic, the Cao soldiers who escaped with Cao Hong panicked first.

Cao Hong and his military horses, if they want to escape from Jiangdu City among the people, they naturally have to abandon their war horses, and they must walk two or three hundred miles to reach Hongze Lake. Can they escape on their two legs?

However, it is no wonder that Cao Hong ignored this problem, because when they came to Jiangdu City, they arrived in Jiangdu by Cai Mao's warship, so there were not many cavalry among his military horses.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Cao Hong hurriedly ordered his sergeant: "Give me a formation, first defeat the cavalry of the New Han Army that is chasing us, and then we will evacuate here!" ”

However, at this time, no matter how well-trained the Cao soldiers were, they would not dare to form a formation to resist the cavalry in this wild area. In particular, the so-called defeat was like a mountain. Well, although Cao Hong is said to be a strategic evacuation of Jiangdu this time, it is not really defeated by the New Han Army and fled.

However, people are like this, if Cao Hong made up his mind to fight to the death with the New Han army in Jiangdu City, his Cao army might still be able to unite as one. However, now that they have obviously given up Jiangdu City, they have nothing to defend and no battle to fight, especially when most of their military horses have not been able to escape from Jiangdu City together, Cao Jun at this time, everyone wants to escape from here as soon as possible, and escape as far away from Jiangdu City as possible.

Therefore, at this time, Cao Hong's order was not so easy to use. In addition, because of running out of Jiangdu City all the way, Cao Hong's Cao soldiers were no longer in formation, and they were all in chaos, and for a while, how to form a formation to resist the cavalry of the New Han Army?

At this time, it had already stretched a long formation, and its tail had been chased up by the cavalry of the New Han Army led by Sun Ce.

"The cavalry of the New Han Army is here, flee quickly!"

With a sound of coaxing, Cao Bing fled with his legs, who would listen to Cao Hong's orders again?

Cao Hong's face turned blue and white for a while, but he was helpless.

He knew in his heart that he had indeed miscalculated now, and he thought it was a plan, but in fact, this plan to lure the enemy in a big retreat was already full of flaws, everything was the ideal in his own heart, and there were still too many flaws in his real implementation.

There was no way, Cao Hong had no choice but to lead his own soldiers and generals, forcibly gather a team of men, and flee to the north. The sergeant did not listen to the order, and he did not dare to stay any longer, and did not dare to engage the cavalry of the New Han Army that was chasing him again.

Now, Cao Hong's heart is just bent on escaping to Hongze Huze, hoping that he can get rid of the pursuit of the New Han Army, and then cause the army of the New Han Army to Hongze Huze, and then let Cai Mao's army clean up these New Han Army and avenge his defeat today. (To be continued.) )
