I saw that the battle was about to be won, but the victory was not yet coming. The fierce battle continued into the evening, the earth-shattering killing and roaring still showed no sign of stopping, and the battle was the same as during the day, and the Cao army seemed to be victorious, but there was no victory. The bloody fighting lasted from night to early morning, and the battle still did not stop, but the sound of the fighting was much quieter, and the corpses on the battlefield were covered with rivers of blood, and the soldiers on both sides were exhausted.

Xun Yu looked at the battlefield with a frown, and a faint feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart. Seeing that his soldiers had lost all their strength and were weak in attack, he ordered the army to temporarily withdraw and recuperate. The officers and men of the Cao Army, who were fighting on the front line, received the order to temporarily retreat, and they retreated one after another as if they had been amnestied.

Just then, a scout rode his horse from the east, and the sound of the horse's hooves was rapid, revealing an anxious smell.

The scout galloped in front of Xun Yu, reined in the horse, didn't care about getting on and off the horse to salute, and hugged his fists on the back of the horse-you-you-you-small-say-more-new-most-fast-www.uuxs.cc-back: "My lord, Huainan, Huainan is in danger..."

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and all the generals around him didn't react for a while. Xun Yu came back to his senses and said angrily: "How can Huainan be in danger? What's going on? ”

The scout swallowed his saliva and said urgently: "Yesterday afternoon, General Wei Yan arranged an ambush according to the instructions of the adults, and Zhuge Liang poured out of the nest soon after. However, Zhuge Liang did not order the army to attack our camp by itself, but ordered the war cavalry to throw the lighted javelins in......" Xun Yu frowned. The scout said: "There was a fire in the camp, except for a few hundred cavalry of General Wei Yan, all the rest were killed in the fire.........

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "I once ordered Wei Yan to burn the pontoon bridge when he retreated, didn't he do it?" The scout shook his head a little dazed, "No..."

Xun Yu was furious, "Wei delayed my big business...", looked at the scout, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the open jaw?" Didn't the jaw open the pontoon bridge too? ”

The scout hurriedly said: "When the fire broke out, the sailors were afraid of being affected by the flames, so they stayed away from that area, and General Zhangjaw didn't notice the pontoon bridge first..."

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "In other words, Zhuge Liang led 200,000 troops to cross the Huaishui from our pontoon bridge and surround Huainan?" The scout nodded, "Exactly..."

"Is the pontoon still there?"

The scout replied: "After the enemy crossed the Huaishui, they took the initiative to set fire to the pontoon bridge. ”

Xun Yu frowned and asked, "What about Wei Yan?" ”

The scout replied, "I don't know... After General Wei Yan escaped from the Huai River, he was not seen..."

"He didn't go back to Huainan?"

The scout shook his head.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said to the scout: "Immediately send an order to General Zhang Jaw and ask him to return to Huainan immediately." The scout answered, and with a rein turned the horse's head and galloped down.

Xun Yu turned his head at the third stronghold that Lu Bujun was still holding on to in the distance, and his brows furrowed.

Xiahou Yuan said: "Continue to attack, first destroy the enemy army in front of you, and then cross the Huaishui and capture Yuzhou." In this way, Zhuge Liang of Huainan will become a turtle in an urn..."

Xun Yu shook his head, "There's no chance." The news of our army's defeat at Dingfengjin and the siege of Huainan will soon spread throughout the enemy army and our army, and the morale of our army will be severely defeated, and the morale of the enemy army will be greatly boosted. If you want to completely destroy the enemy army in front of you, I don't know how much time it will take... We don't have a lot of time now. Moreover, Zhuge Liang's troops are under the city of Huainan, and the logistics supply of our army has been cut off, and the grain and grass will not be able to support it for long... The risk of continuing to attack is too high," after a moment's thought, he sneered: "Since Zhuge Liang took the initiative to leave Dingfengjin, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, he happened to fight him in a decisive battle under Huainan City... If we can eliminate him in one go, the initiative in the battle will still be in our hands. ”

Turning his head to Xiahou Yuan, he said: "General Xiahou, send an order to all armies to return to Huainan immediately." Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists and promised.

Zang Ba walked among the exhausted and scarred troops, shouting in a hoarse voice: "We are warriors under the command of the great general, and we would rather die on the battlefield than surrender on our knees... The blade will show our bravery, the blood will show our glory, and the good man will die on the battlefield... When we die, we are immortal heroes, our parents, wives and children will enjoy incomparably high glory, and the great general will take care of their... All of you follow me and prepare for the final battle..."The armies plucked up their courage and shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

At this moment, a sentry who was in charge of observing the enemy's situation rushed to Zang Ba and reported excitedly: "General, Cao's army has retreated..."

Zang Ba was stunned, "What did you say?" ”

"Cao Jun retreated..."

Zang Ba's eyes were large, and he hurriedly ran to the edge of the third camp, looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that the Cao army was retreating, and hundreds of thousands of Cao troops were like a flood at low tide. Zang Ba's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, his head was dizzy, and he almost fainted, and quickly held on to a wooden stake beside him. Thinking that this might be the enemy's tricks, he quickly regained his strength, rushed back to the army, and ordered the armies to take turns to rest and prepare for battle.

……

Xun Yu led more than 300,000 tired men and horses to Huainan. In the afternoon, the army was still marching on the road, and a scout came to meet him. The scout galloped to Xun Yu's horse and reported urgently: "My lord, Huainan is lost..."

Xun Yu was shocked: "This is impossible...", paused, and asked, "Why did you lose so quickly?" Although the 100,000 defenders are all civilian troops, Huainan City is high and wide and has sufficient reserves, no matter how it is, there is no problem in two or three days..."

The scout reported: "Zhuge Liang ordered people to go to the city to write a book of arrows, and the book said that the whole army had been wiped out, and he wanted the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender." The soldiers and civilians in the city thought it was true, and the army was in turmoil, and the people's army poured into Huainan to kill the assassin Shi, and Kaesong surrendered. ”

Xun Yu only felt a flower in front of him, and his body was crooked and planted from the horse. The generals were shocked, and hurriedly jumped off and stepped forward to help Xun Yu up. Xun Yu opened his eyes and said resentfully: "I have always boasted of being resourceful, but I didn't expect to lose to Zhuge Liang, and I lost so badly..."

Xiahou Yuan nodded, and ordered Wen Ping to take care of Xun Yu, and he went to pass the order.

On the other side, the gate of Huainan City was wide open, and Ma Tie Ma Dai led his 50,000 war horsemen out of the city and rushed to the west. In the evening, 50,000 horsemen returned. Ma Tie Ma Dai came to the hall of the Zhisuo, saw Zhuge Liang, and saluted together, Ma Tieyu reported: "Military Division, the enemy army did not come this way, but turned to the Huaishui River. ”
