At this moment, on the west bank of Yingshui, which is slightly icy, the sky is about to twilight, the wind is even wilder, and the west wind is "whirring", wrapped in frost.

Tai Shici and other generals led the army before Hua Fei's Chinese army, and they could already hear Hua Fei's personal guards, shouting loudly in the cold northwest wind, passing Hua Fei's orders.

"The lord has an order, ordering Tai Shici to be in the east, Chen to be in the west, and Ma Ge to lead the elite cavalry to the north as soon as possible, cross cover to meet the retreat of the army on the northern front, and gather in Langling County to the west of the Ru River.

Tai Shi Ci and Chen Zhi didn't know what was going on, but Hua Fei's military orders were very strict, and the two of them didn't dare to ask more, but shouted "Oh!" "Each of them set out with his army, and hurried northward.

The guard shouted again: "Wu Xu obeys the order, the lord orders you to quickly lead the elite soldiers of the headquarters to the bank of the Yingshui River, and inform Xu Shengshui to enter the Huai River quickly and follow the river to the west." The same goes to Langling County to get all the order, and there must be no mistake when it is ordered. ”

"No general!" Wu Xu got the order, waved his knife and rode his horse and shouted, "Wu Xu's department will follow me quickly!" "Lead 4,000 elite soldiers and hurry westward.

In the snowstorm, the guards gave the order again.

"Zhang Demei and He Man rate the elite troops to merge into the main Gongzhong army, and march to the northwest together, and the 20,000 Tuntian army can quickly clean up the battlefield, and wait for Mu Yuan to come and lead you and others, and go west to Langling."

Zhang Demei and He Man shouted orders, and urgently ordered people to temporarily command the Tuntian Army to clean up the battlefield, and lead the army to merge into the Huafei Chinese Army. At this time, there were several cavalry guards, flying out of Huafei's Chinese army, and went to the area of Jinfengdu, Fubo County, and Huaibin County.

But it turned out that He Yi did not resist Cao Cao's temptation after all, and when Chen Deng led the main force to the south to tour Xiang County to defend the Chinese army, he led his henchmen to open the north gate of Ruyang County to welcome Cao Cao's more than 80,000 troops into the city.

Hua Fei's carefully built defense line on the north road was broken in an instant under the betrayal of the general.

The 4,000 elite soldiers who followed He Yi to guard Ruyang City, after seeing He Yi open the door to meet the enemy, most of them died in battle, a few surrendered, and only more than 100 elite guards fought out of Ruyang under the protection of the heroes, and quickly sent the police to Chen Deng.

Although Chen Deng knew that the general situation was not good, he still remained calm! He knew that Hua Fei was at war with Yuan Shu at this time, and it was difficult to withdraw his troops to help. And even if they can come back to help, they will definitely not be able to recapture the county seat of Ruyang guarded by more than 80,000 Cao troops.

As soon as Ruyang is broken, the defensive formation of the northern road has lost its geographical advantage, and it is better to give it up. Fortunately, the civilians in the west of Yingshui and east of Rushui had already withdrawn from the Ru River under Hua Fei's order.

Therefore, Chen Deng immediately and decisively dispatched a fast horse to urgently report that the Chinese army Huafei knew the bad news, and quickly sent a message to Luohe Jincheng, Xiangxian Xu Kai, and the two armies to retreat quickly.

Immediately he personally led the main force, prepared to retreat all the way to the west, preemptively held the last line of defense in Runan County, and resisted the Ru River to resist Cao's army.

However, what is even more terrifying is that after Liu Bei learned that Cao Cao's army had crossed the river, he had personally led more than 60,000 troops to attack the Huafei logistics army that was setting fire to the smoke, and then prepared to rush across Yingshui and attack Gushi County directly.

Chen Deng was only afraid that Liu Bei's successful attack on the city would cut off Hua Fei's retreat, so he urgently led the main force of the Northern Route Army to merge with the Tuntian army in Xiang County, and resisted Liu Bei's crossing of the river with the strength of the array against the water.

Hua Fei had this bad time, but it was before Tai Shici shot Yuan Shu. After a moment of anger and panic, he quickly calmed himself down.

Betrayal has taken place, and hatred has long been useless. He knew that what he had to do now was to react as quickly as possible and make reasonable adjustments to the army under his command, otherwise what awaited him would only be the result of the annihilation of the entire army.

The wind is like a knife, the snow is drifting, and the situation deteriorates instantly, which makes Dehua Fei's heart like a knife! He quickly judged that he had two paths to go at the moment.

First, according to the plan in situ, he desperately led the army to cross the Huai River, and established a defensive line along the Huai River to block the pursuit of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army. This plan, in the case of Yuan Shu's death, still has a very high chance of success.

The second is to give up the plan to seize Huainan, immediately rush to the west of the Ru River, protect countless civilians in Runan County according to the river, and safely withdraw from Runan into Jingzhou.

Although it is said that the people of Runan have already set off, Hua Fei knows that if he is a powerful elite soldier in such an era, he may be able to travel hundreds of miles a day.

But the people never have such a speed, they drag their families with their mouths, and they travel with large bags and small bags. If you can walk thirty or forty miles a day, thank God.

Hua Fei predicted that they might still be on the way from Langling to Wuyin. What worries Hua Fei even more is that these people all have the money and food he ordered Lu Su to give.

These silver coins and grains were taken back by Hua Fei and his subordinates from Liu Bei and Yuan Shu's hands, gambling with their lives.

It was sent to the people, so that when they left their homeland, they could have some entanglement and spend the day, so that they would not die of hunger and cold in a foreign land.

However, Hua Fei's heart has now become a 'bomb' that will take the lives of the villagers at any time! ’。

Maybe Liu Bei won't rob them of their money and food; Maybe Cao Cao wouldn't have robbed them of their food money; But will the armies under their command not rob, and will the people not resist?

Hua Fei didn't dare to imagine that once he was caught up by Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army, what kind of fate would those poor fleeing villagers get?

As a person of later generations, Hua Fei thought about this, clenched his palm Buddha beads and said secretly: "I am fortunate to have gained, and I have lost my life!" Once again, he resolutely gave up the great opportunity to go south; Once again, the plan to seize Huainan was abandoned; The whole army was ordered to turn to the county seat of Langling.

When Hua Fei led the army from Ruyin and took Pingyu County in a rapid way. Cao Cao, who occupied the county seat of Ruyang, raised his sword and waved his hand and shouted: "Xia Houyuan listens to the order!" ”

Among the generals, a rough-looking general came out of the ranks and saluted with his fists and replied loudly: "Not in general!" ”

Cao Cao pressed the sword order and said: "Order you to lead the headquarters for the front army to move westward quickly, seize the front line of Xiping, and take Huafei's arsenal with me, and not a single craftsman is allowed to escape!" ”

"No general!" Xia Houyuan gave the order and turned around. Xun You nodded secretly and thought to himself: "Miaocai's soldiers are fast, but five"

Cao Cao shouted again: "Xia Houdun! ”

"Not in!"

"After you are united, lead the troops to escort the grain and grass equipment. The soldiers are fast and can not delay all the way. ”

"No general!"

Subsequently, Cao Cao left Cao Ren to guard Ruyang, regardless of the west bank of Yingshui, where the battle was being held, and personally led the army and the generals to set off westward as originally planned.

At the same time, Luohe Jincheng, who received Chen Deng's urgent report, was taken aback, and immediately ordered a team of elite guards to hurry south, all the way to Xiangxi, and informed the military workshop to abandon the baggage and other belongings, and retreat south at full speed.

He led the army to march quickly and rushed to Xiping at the speed of a rapid march, thinking that he would first meet the military workshop, and then withdraw to the south to defend the county seat of Suiping.

The two armies of Jincheng and Xia Houyuan set off almost at the same time, and they were all in a hurry to take Xiping County. On the other side, Chen Dengzheng and Liu Bei's army of more than 60,000 people launched a desperate battle on the bank of the Yingshui West River.

Chen Deng ordered Xu Chu to lead the sword, shield and spear elite soldiers to resist the river bank, and resist the landing of Liu Bei's army on the beach; Ordered Lu Zhu to lead two thousand good **** to ride on both wings and support Xu Chu's first front at any time.

Since he and Xu Kai led the archers and Tuntian soldiers, they continued to shoot arrows with bows and arrows, providing powerful long-range arrow rain support for Xu Chu's first front.

Under the command of Chen Deng, Hua Fei's swords, shields, and spears were lined up in front, the two wings were guarded by fine cavalry, and the formation of bows and arrows in the middle was so rapid that Liu Bei's army, who was in a hurry to cross the river, was stained with blood on both sides of the Yingshui.

However, the chaos was temporary after all, and he did not expect that Huafei's northern defense line had been broken, but Liu Bei, who still had the main force to resist the water and defend it, quickly made adjustments after suffering a big loss.

He hurriedly ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the elite soldiers of the headquarters, as the first team to rush across Yingshui, and followed by the chaotic army. Suddenly, the situation changed dramatically.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the east bank of Yingshui were heavily armoured, holding the shield and leading 20,000 elite soldiers to cross the water; Xu Chu on the west bank of Yingshui saw Shuangmeng crossing the water, angrily rode his horse and hurriedly waved his sword to stand out in front of the formation, only to resist the battle with his own strength.

Guan Yu squinted and waved his knife in the biting cold wind: "Third brother, you go south, I go north, and after you go ashore, you must not fight, but quickly rush to disrupt the enemy's army formation, and take the elder brother's army across the river." ”

"Second brother, don't worry, I know!" Zhang Fei roared and led the army south. As soon as the two fierce generals were separated like this, Xu Chudeng was dumbfounded, and he was so anxious that he lifted the knife on the horse, and he panted violently from left to right, not knowing which side to go to first.

At the critical moment, Piao Bai Xuenei waved his sword and rode his horse, and roared loudly: "Zhongkang! You go stop that fat man, I'm going to stop that black guy! ”

But Chen Deng, who was behind this formation, knew that if the army was in chaos, he and his subordinates would inevitably be unable to stop Liu Bei's army from crossing the water. Seeing that the situation was not good, he urgently ordered Wood, a fierce general who followed him, to come to his aid.

Xu Chu was overjoyed when he heard this, but he opened his mouth and shouted: "Be careful of that black guy's loud voice!" The words waved the knife and took the horse, and was being said by Wood: "Fatty! "Give Guan Yu, who is very angry, and go.

Guan Yu had just killed and dispersed the army, and when he saw Xu Chu roaring again and again, he hurriedly picked up his knife and turned over, got on the war horse led by the guards, and shouted: "You fat man Xu with a big waist and ten girths, quickly and Guan Mou will die!" ”

"Mother! Who do you call fat? You big fat man who is so thin that you show Xu a knife! ”

In Xu Chu's roar, the two generals swung their swords and killed a tumbling and tumbling in front of the army, and the 'ho ho' sword wind swirled so that the frost on the ground was exhausted, and the grass flew into the dust;

As soon as everyone fought, these two major sword techniques were really shocking, and the cold sword aura forced the troops within a radius of ten zhang to retreat in a hurry.

On the other side, Zhang Fei waved his spear and roared like thunder to take Wood, who was swinging his knife and running.

Wood, a reckless man, was only bent on slashing Zhang Fei with a knife, but he didn't expect the horse's head to get close to his knife.

Zhang Fei has "duh! There was a loud roar, and the spear flashed with cold light in the thunder, shining on Wood, who was blinded by the roar, his ears were ringing, and his movements were obvious, and he was distracted and stabbed. (To be continued.) )
