The hussars lost a lot of men and horses, but they were never able to break through the defensive line of Cao's army. Seeing that he could not break through, Huang Zhong immediately led the army to withdraw from the battle, and the arrows on both sides came and went, each with losses. The hussars pushed more than a dozen miles to the east bank, and set up camp against a rolling hill.

Cao's army did not dare to pursue. Cao Hong immediately ordered more than 100,000 men and horses on the west bank to quickly cross the river. More than 100,000 men crossed the river and joined the army on the east bank.

Cao's army had just crossed the river, and Xu Huang and Wu Yi led the Leopard Tao army and the Pingnan army to the west bank. At this time, it was getting late, and the armies of both sides set up camps on the east and west banks of the Shushui River. Cao Jun is the sun and moon double battalion, divided into two camps on the left and right, the left is the 'day' village, close to the water, around the grain cart as a fence, the fence edge has a log to temporarily build up the lookout post, outside the fence dug a circle of three meters wide and two meters deep trench, the camp tent in the village is divided into eleven groups, the Chinese army group is in the middle, the remaining ten are scattered around the Chinese army, the 'day' village is on the opposite bank of Xu Huang, Wu Yi's army.

The right side is the 'moon' village, located on the right side of the 'day' village, close to the 'day' village, it is half-moon shaped, also takes the grain cart outside the house as the fence, the fence is next to a certain distance as the unit to arrange many lookout posts, there are trenches dug outside the fence, and the camp tent in the village is also divided into eleven groups.

This kind of sun and moon double village, characterized by the 'day' village and the 'moon' village rely on each other to support each other, the army is gathered together in two parts, one part focuses on the left side of the defense, and one part focuses on the right side of the defense, and the defense ability is very outstanding.

Xu Huang and Wu Yi stood in the village, raised their eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that in the camp of Cao Jun on the other bank, the lights were bright, and the figures were longing. Wu Yi frowned and said, "This Cao Hong is really not simple!" Such a camp is extraordinary, and it may be difficult to break through in a hurry! Xu Huang nodded, and thought: "The soldiers of the three armies have a good night's rest tonight, and they will attack tomorrow morning!" He turned and walked towards the tent. Wu Yi glanced at the camp on the other side again, and also turned around and walked towards the big tent.

The camp arranged by Lu Bujun is a traditional Liuhua village, there is nothing surprising, the only advantage is that this kind of multi-gate camp is very convenient for the army to enter and exit.

As the night wore on, the barracks on both sides of the strait gradually fell silent, and only the lights of the patrol posts flickered in their respective camps.

Suddenly, an army of more than 10,000 people quietly marched from the shallows to the camp of the Lu Bu army under the cover of night. These more than 10,000 people were all foot soldiers because they were personally led. Everyone pursed their lips and held their breath. The shallow beach was a few miles downstream of the camps on both sides, and although the moon was bright tonight, it was impossible to see the situation here from a few miles apart.

Before more than 10,000 infantry troops had landed, a torch suddenly lit up on the opposite shore, turning the night into day. The soldiers of Cao Jun in the water were all shocked.

Thousands of Lu Bujun's crossbowmen appeared under the torches and fired arrows at Cao's army in the water. For a while, arrows rained down, and Cao Jun was shot to the ground one after another. The soldier wounded by the arrow hurriedly retreated, and the soldier with the shield shrank behind the shield as much as he could.

Cao's army lost more than a thousand men and retreated to the shore. In the forbidden camp, the army went out of the village and set up a posture on the bank of the river to prepare for a strong attack. More than 100,000 foot riders were noisy and noisy, and the torches illuminated the entire east coast into daylight. Three thousand crossbowmen armed with strong crossbows lined up and sent a rain of arrows to the opposite bank. This kind of strong crossbow has an extremely long range, and the crossbow arrows flew across the Shushui River towards Lu Bu's army. The arrows crackled and fell, knocking down many of Lu Bu's crossbowmen. Wu Yi, who was in charge of the command, was taken aback, and immediately ordered the army to retreat two hundred steps back to form a formation. More than 10,000 troops immediately retreated to a distance of two hundred paces and regrouped into formation.

Xu Huang led an army of 100,000 to rush over and form a formation. Xu Huang rode his horse to Wu Yi's side, reined in his horse, and glanced at the opposite bank, only to see that the more than 100,000 horsemen on the opposite bank had already started the stance.

Knock knock knock...... The drums of war on the other side of the river sounded loudly, like the territory in the dark night, and the rumbling sound startled the surrounding birds. The soldiers of the Cao army shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky!

Xu Huang frowned, turned his head and shouted at the army: "Prepare to fight!" "More than 100,000 troops are ready for battle.

A cluster of firelight on the opposite bank suddenly rushed into the water, and the treading water rushed in.

Xu Huang hurriedly said: "It's cavalry!" Get ready! ”

The shieldmen on the front line pulled their lunges to withstand the onslaught of their opponents, and the pikemen lowered their spears and bounced through the gaps between their shields, leaving the crossbowmen behind them all ready to fire.

The group of cavalry rushed to the middle of the water with great fanfare, and suddenly turned back again. However, Cao Jun's war drums and shouts were still the same.

Wu Yi was surprised and asked, "What the hell is Cao Jun doing?" ”

Before the words fell, the group of cavalry turned around and rushed again, waving their weapons and howling and shouting, countless iron hooves trampled on the river, raised countless flying beads and splashed jade, and the water splashed in the sky reflected the moonlight and was crystal clear, and the movement was great!

Lu Bujun became nervous again. But the other party saw that he was about to land, but he retreated.

Wu Yi mocked: "Isn't Cao Junmo only bluffing like this? ”

Xu Huang said: "Don't be careless! I guess they just want to slow down our army's morale, and then kill them in one go! Wu Yi was shocked. Xu Huang raised his voice and shouted: "Beat the drum!" "The drums of war rumbled. The morale of the army, which was originally a little contemptuous, was lifted.

Again there were shouts and the sound of rolling horses' hooves on the other side. Thousands of light cavalry of the Cao army rushed across the water in one fell swoop, lined up in a wedge-shaped charging formation, rushing towards the line of Lu Bu's army, with an indomitable momentum! Under the moonlight, thousands of war horses seem to be an endless torrent, mighty and thrilling!

Xu Huang showed excitement, raised the big axe and shouted, "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”

The crossbowmen immediately raised their crossbows, and when the opposing cavalry came closer, the crossbowmen fired arrows together, and the rain of arrows blew out in a storm, blowing the torches all around!

The rain of arrows fell sharply into the middle of the enemy army, and when they landed, they saw people on their backs, and there was a loud sound of men and horses shouting.

Cao's war cavalry continued to rush forward, and the men and horses shouted, looking desperately crazy.

The crossbowmen fired another rain of arrows. Immediately afterwards, the torrent composed of Cao's cavalry slammed into the defensive line of the Lu Bu army, and in a series of huge ping-pong sounds, the shield defense line was dented in many places, and at the same time, many Cao soldiers stumbled and fell to the ground! The scene was chaotic and tragic!

However, the impact speed of the Cao army's war cavalry was exhausted, and the crossbowmen shot a wave of arrows, and the Cao cavalry who shot in front of them fell one after another. Immediately afterwards, the pikemen surged forward under the cover of the shield line, and the spears in their hands shone with cold light, constantly stabbing the Cao army's war horses off their horses! Cao's war cavalry left more than a thousand corpses and fled!

There was a cheer among Lu Bu's army. But at this moment, the camp suddenly shook the sky, and more than a dozen emergency red signal rockets were raised at the same time. The officers and men of Lu Bujun were all taken aback when they saw such a scene. And Yu Ban on the other side of the river showed a smug face.
