Chapter 597: Ambush

Cao Ren was angry and blamed himself, and asked, "How much is the loss?" ”

Li Dian said: "Forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses have been lost!" Cao Ren was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

At this moment, a loud noise like a flash flood suddenly came from the direction of Beigu Mountain, and Cao Ren Li Dian felt that the ground under his feet was trembling slightly! The two of them were shocked, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Beigu Mountain, the sky in the distance was full of smoke and dust, and the scene was very amazing, and they didn't know what was going on. Li Dian frowned and said, "The three brothers Liu Bei led 20,000 war cavalry to raid Jianye, and they must have been ambushed in Beigu Mountain!" Cao Ren immediately sent scouts to find out the news.

Half an hour later, the scouts who went to inquire rushed over and hurriedly reported: "General Qiqi, Liu Bei and the three of them led 20,000 cavalry to suddenly encounter an ambush on the mountain road of Beigu Mountain, and the army suffered heavy losses, and now the three of them have led the remnants of the army to retreat. ”

Soon after, Cao Ren and the others saw a cavalry army running in panic with a banner in the distance. It was the 20,000 war cavalry led by Liu Bei before, but at this moment, there are only half of them left!

In the big tent, everyone was silent, the mood was depressed and angry, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing. No one thought that they would encounter such a setback, originally thought that there were not many enemy troops in Jiangnan, and the only enemy army was once the same Cao army as themselves, as soon as their own army arrived, they should be crushed for thousands of miles or even compete for defection, the war should be very simple, but the actual situation is not like this at all! First, a planned flame trap burned Cao Jun's scorched mind, and then the ambush in Beigu Mountain made Cao Jun lose his soul, and Cao Jun suffered heavy losses in the two battles, but he didn't even see the opponent's face clearly!

Li Dian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We underestimated that woman!" We were careless! Knowing that Lu Bu entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, but still contemptuous that she was a woman, no wonder she suffered such a failure! ”

Cao Ren said categorically: "If the land route is blocked, let the water route march!" Immediately ordered Zhang Jaw to lead the naval army to advance at full speed, bypass Beigu Mountain, and seize Jianye! The land army is all marching to the foot of Beigu Mountain! The generals clenched their fists and promised.

On the same day, Cao Ren led the land army to bypass the still burning Dantu County and march to Beigu Mountain. At the same time, on the wide river, thousands of sails are competing, and the water army led by Zhang Jaw is striving to go upstream, and the boats are separated from each other and the waves are raised, and the countless mast sails are like the woods to the east.

The navy army first arrived at Beigu Mountain, and continued to march around Beigu Mountain, where the originally wide river suddenly narrowed by more than half, and the river also became turbulent, churning waves, as if there were many monsters surging under the river. The sailors on the front warship vaguely saw that between the crests and valleys of the waves in front, there seemed to be thick black lines across the river, his complexion changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "There is a barrage!" The sailors quickly stopped the ship. The boat in front stopped, and the boat behind didn't know that it continued to move forward, and took over a large number of building boats crowded in a heap, unable to move! The sound of scolding and collision sounded together, and there was a chaotic scene on the river.

At this moment, dozens of small sampans full of things were released from the banks on both sides, sliding into the river and rushing straight towards the crowded Cao Jun warship!

The sailors of the Cao army found out and shouted, and many of the Cao army crossbowmen rushed to the side of the ship and bent their bows and arrows to shoot. Seeing those dozens of small sampans leaping wave after wave, taking advantage of the water momentum! "Ready!" Some Cao Jun officers shouted loudly, and the crossbowmen were all aiming, just waiting for the other party to enter the firing range.

At this moment, the dozens of sampans suddenly burst into flames, and then I saw people on the boat jumping into the water one after another. The dozens of sampans roared with flames, roaring straight towards the Cao army's warships!

Cao Jun was in a mess, and the warships in front of him panicked and wanted to run back, but they were blocked by the unaware warships behind, and the shouting and scolding rang out, and they couldn't be dismantled at all for a while!

Dozens of fireboats dragged a long tail flame and fiercely rushed into the Cao army's warship group, and with a boom, a fireboat burst into flames, and fireballs rose on the river, illuminating the river surface for dozens of miles! The flames quickly spread among the Cao army's warships, the flames roared, and the power became more and more amazing, like an ancient monster constantly engulfing the warship! In the blink of an eye, the flames had become a force on the surface of the river, burning the sky red, and the entire river seemed to be boiling!

Zhang Jaw realized that it was not good when he saw a sampan rushing upstream, and immediately ordered the warships of the Chinese army and the rear army to stop advancing and quickly retreat, so that the raging flames did not spread to the middle and rear troops, but the scene was still very amazing. Zhang Jaw looked at the terrible scene like a burning river that day, and listened to the heavy screams that drifted with the river wind, he was frightened and angry, but there was no way to rescue!

The soldiers of the Cao army on the shore looked at the magnificent scene on the river in a daze, and they all looked at a loss and frightened.

Liu Bei couldn't help but murmur: "Zhuge Ruoxue, even more ruthless than Zhuge Liang!" Zhang Fei snorted, "Brother, don't want to grow up others to destroy your own prestige!" How many means can a little woman measure her? If I touch her face to face, Guan Bao will kill her with a spear! Guan Yu said: "Third brother, she won't meet you!" Zhang Fei frowned.

Li Dian, who was standing beside Cao Ren, couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect her to actually arrange this trick on the river!" This woman is amazing!! ”

Cao Ren snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, then attack Beigu Mountain!" He immediately ordered Li Dian to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard to attack Beigu Mountain.

Li Dian received the order, led 20,000 infantry troops to the foot of Beigu Mountain, after a little investigation, he sent 8,000 infantry troops, divided into two roads, one 5,000 people along the Beigu Mountain road to attack and advance, the other 3,000 people along the Beigu Mountain road to attack and advance!

The 8,000 infantry troops, led by shield bearers, cautiously walked up the hill, and everyone was vigilant and held their breath. However, when we reached the mountainside, there were still no enemy troops, and some Cao soldiers couldn't help but relax a little!

However, at this moment, the drums of war on the mountain suddenly sounded like thunder, and countless flags appeared on the mountain peaks and among the trees. Cao Jun was shocked and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Without waiting for the soldiers of Cao Jun to react, on the mountains on both sides, countless boulders rolled down, and at the same time, the arrows fell like flying locusts! Cao Jun's soldiers turned on their backs, countless people were shot to death and stoned to death, and Cao Jun hurriedly retreated!
