Cao Cao sent Cao Xiu and Zhang He to lead the cavalry to kill left and right, and after taking the Jiangdong Army directly, he also repeatedly told the second general in advance: "Qing and others have a heavy responsibility, and they must be cut off from the beginning and end, and don't be greedy for merit." "Your main role is to cut off the connection between the Jiangdong Army and its base camp, but don't try to take the enemy camp in one fell swoop—that's unrealistic.

It is true that Jiangdong has few soldiers, if Zhou Yu wants to defeat or at least repel Cao Cao in front of the two armies, he must transfer all the main forces, and there will not be many soldiers and horses left in the battalion. But the problem is that the enemy camp has its back to the river, and the large and small warships are cruising on the river, even if there are only the necessary sailors on board, then they must be equipped with weapons. When the main camp is attacked, the ships will surely come close and fire arrows to protect them, and when the time comes, they will be able to shoot you, and you will not be able to shoot them—one is that the bow of a horse is shorter than the bow of a foot, and the other is that the side of the warship is high above the ground, and it is condescending that it cannot be resisted—and it will be severely defeated. If the army is defeated, the whole plan will be ruined.

Therefore, Cao Cao repeatedly admonished, saying that you can at most pick open the deer and break the gate, and if you have the spare strength, you can also put two fires if you don't prevent it, so as to avenge Zhou Yu's burning of me under Jiangling City in the past. But don't go deep into the enemy camp and don't get within range of the enemy ships.

Cao Xiu and Zhang He, who are also famous generals of Cao Ying, not only know the way of advance and retreat, but also dare not violate Cao Cao's military orders, the two generals are better than cavalry, and the angle and position of the two troops wedged into are very accurate, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed to the front of the Jiangdong camp. The second general met, raised his eyes and looked at the front line, and saw that the rear of the Jiangdong Army had the intention of turning to save - but waiting for the serious to turn around, rearrange the position, and then rush back to the camp gate. It's enough for me to pick up the deer. Break through the gate.

Look in the direction of the camp again. Sure enough, several teams of enemy soldiers rushed over, and at that moment, the second general waved his long lance, and his subordinates drew their bows and arrows, and a round of arrows passed, shooting over more than a dozen Jiangdong foot soldiers on the spot, and the rest ran away - well, Zhou Yu really didn't leave many people in this camp.

Zhang He was more cautious, and immediately hugged his fist towards Cao Xiu and said: "A certain leader attacked the enemy's rear. If delayed, General Wen Lie can trample on his camp, but he must not go deeper. Cao Xiu smiled slightly: "How dare Xiu Yan violate the prime minister's order?" ”

The two discussed, Zhang He led the army to attack Cheng Pu's headquarters in the rear of Jiangdong, try to delay the other party's reorganization of the array, save the time of the camp, and attack the enemy camp, then it will be handed over to Cao Xiu - in a sense, this is also the greatest credit to Cao Xiu, no way. People are Cao Cao's henchmen and favorite generals of the same clan, if they want to stay in Cao Ying for a long time. You must know how to be humble and give in.

Zhang He beat his horse and went, and Cao Xiu turned his head and stormed the enemy camp. To say that Zhou Yu's base camp was built quite firmly, digging shallow trenches outside, introducing the water of the Yangtze River, and there were earthen ramparts and wooden fences behind the trenches, Cao Xiu's troops were all cavalry, and there was no way to break the fort without dismounting, but what about getting off the horse, in case the enemy rushed out, it inevitably weakened his original strengths. Therefore, Cao Xiu did not cross the trench or break the fortress, and commanded the cavalry to rush to the gate.

In the era of ancient car warfare, the car was often surrounded by a camp, and the two cars in the middle were erected, and the car was turned to the sky, and a door was synthesized, so it was called "Yuanmen". Of course, there was no longer a car war in these years, and the Jiangdong Army mostly used ships to transport grain and straw, and there were not many carts pulling goods. In order to facilitate access, the ditch in front of the gate did not close the dragon, just in conflict.

At that moment, more than a dozen horse lances worked together, and they were about to knock the gate open, and Cao Jun waited to rush in. Cao Xiu took care of it, don't go deep, spread left and right, disperse the enemy behind the fortress, and at the same time some soldiers lit torches and burned the outermost camp tent in Jiangdong - now there is no south wind, it is still the north wind raging, just burning you!

Just as the assignment was decided, suddenly a part of the song exclaimed: "General, look! Cao Xiu raised his eyes and looked at the Jiangdong camp, "Ahh

I saw that the sails were like clouds, almost close in front of me - Cao Xiu was stunned on the spot, and said in his heart, Did the southerners pull all the warships to the land? Look at this distance, the ships are not on the river, but in the camp!

In fact, how can a ship go ashore? How much combat power is left after going ashore? It can only be used as a high oar, and Zhou Yu temporarily built some high oars, isn't it easier than dragging a boat? That was Zhou Gongjin's trick in advance, that is, digging a deep trench in the camp, connecting the Yangtze River, and transforming a land village into a water village, and the warships on the river could approach Yuanmen at any time. His original intention, in case of unfavorable battles, would retreat to the camp, and with the protection of warships, Cao's army would not be able to enter at all.

Now the Jiangdong formation is not only the soldiers and horses of the Sun family, but also part of the Jingzhou army led by Wen Ping and Huang Zhong, and the tendency to fight independently is very strict, and Zhou Yu is basically not deployed. In this decisive battle with Cao Cao, the two of them said, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is difficult to ensure victory in the battle, so why is it like a deep ditch and a high base, forcing him to retreat? Zhou Yu is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering-if I tell them that Wu will warn, Wu Hou will call me back, so I am in a hurry to fight Cao Cao, who knows how these Jingzhou people will react? Maybe he will go to Xiling with his men and horses, or even return to Jiangling. Therefore, he can only repeatedly implore the two generals to give me half of the soldiers and horses to fight Cao Cao, if you are not willing to fight, then lead the rest of the troops to board the ship and defend the camp for me.

Wen Ping and Huang Zhong did not have much war intentions, but they were not cowardly generals, or half-hearted villains, the two generals listened to the order to stay on the boat, watching the battle from afar, and saw that the cavalry of Cao Ying took advantage of the gap to take the big camp, and hurriedly urged the warship, and then sailed into the trench and forced the gate directly. Then there were arrows and feathers in the sky, and they rained down.

Cao Xiu's subordinates were caught off guard, and in the miserable screams, four out of ten cavalry overturned, and immediately became a mess - no matter how elite the "tiger and leopard cavalry" was, under the premise of lacking sufficient speed, before the rain of arrows, it was just a target like an ordinary army. Cao Wenlie was so shocked that he escaped from the gate first......

Jingzhou's sailors climbed high and shot at a very long distance, although the accuracy was insufficient, it could also be compensated by the number - not only did they put down many "tiger and leopard riders" in one go, but even the farthest part of the arrow touched the butt of Zhang He's department. Zhang Junyi was still thinking about how to harass and prevent Cheng Pu's department from returning to the camp, when the tail of the queue fell down with several strokes and arrows, and the cry came, and when he turned his head, his brain also crashed on the spot......

The distance is far away, Cao Cao still doesn't see the situation very much, Zhou Yu can see it clearly in the Jiangdong array, and his heart says that it is just right, the back road is safe, so if you don't take advantage of the situation to rush forward, when will you wait! With a wave of the flag in his hand, the Jiangdong army covered the past all over the mountains, and at the same time, Zhou Yu also sent people to inform Huang Zu in Xiling City that the Cao army was defeated, and the prince of the palace would go out of the city at this moment to attack, and he would perform a miracle!

Cao Cao thought that the overall situation would be decided, so he just climbed out of the car and asked Le Jin, who had just escaped: "What is Wen Qian?" Le Jin shook his arm: "It's okay." "I was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but it didn't go deep into the flesh, and it was just a small wound to the flesh, I just took this opportunity to fulfill your instructions and pretend to be defeated. Cao Cao couldn't help laughing: "In this battle, Wen Qian should be the first merit!" ”

But then there was a report of defeat from the front, saying that the southern army was in hot pursuit, and Xiahoudun's troops could not be restrained, and it turned from a deception to a real defeat in an instant. Cao Cao couldn't help frowning: "Where is Wen Lie, Jun Yi?" "What the hell are you doing with those two goods? Cao Hong happened to run back from the front line, and said Prime Minister, don't study it yet, the enemy army is about to be killed, so hurry up and get on your horse and run, and going back to defend the camp is the first priority!

Cao Cao had no choice but to turn over and get on the horse, and then take care of Cao Hong: "Hurry up and help Zixiao!" "I estimate that Huang Zu will also take the opportunity to kill Xiling City, you must cooperate with Cao Ren to defend the camp!

In this battle, Cao's army was defeated, the wolf bèi fled back to the camp, and the soldiers broke three times in ten stops, except for Cao Xiu and Zhang He, who fled with injuries, and basically threw all the cavalry away, the main one who suffered heavy losses was the forward Xiahoudun's department. Many generals were also killed, including the partial general Xu Xi.

This Xu Xi was originally Cao Cao's former general in Yanzhou, and later the party rebelled with Chen Gong and others, and fled to Qingzhou after the defeat, and was instigated by Yuan Tan to try to kidnap Zheng Xuan on the way to Beijing. It was Xun Linzhen who said that he would surrender to Xu Xi and promised him a position of 2,000 stones, and Cao Cao was inconvenient to break his promise, so he was appointed as the Taishou of Shanyang. However, Xu Xi's battle was acceptable, the people were incompetent, and he was impeached continuously for three years in office, and finally he himself shrunk and begged Cao Cao, I am not a magistrate, so I should continue to serve in the army - I will die in the army today.

If the Jiangxia soldiers under Huang Zu in Jiangling City could perfectly cooperate with Zhou Zhouyu's footsteps and form a flanking attack, it is estimated that Cao Ren and Cao Hong may not be able to hold the camp. Problem: Huang Zu didn't plan to cooperate with Zhou Yu well, so he went out of the city a step late, and when he came to Cao Ying, he was fighting fiercely and was ready for battle, knowing that it would be difficult to win without paying a heavy price, so he simply turned the horse's head and returned to the city. When Zhou Yu learned about it afterwards, he couldn't help but sigh, and even couldn't help but say evil words: "Huang Zu is really a dolphin ear!" "That's just a pig, or a little pig with no combat effectiveness!

Besides, Cao Cao retreated to the base camp and counted the casualties, and he couldn't help sighing, saying in his heart, Is Zhou Yu my nemesis? This little guy is so ghostly, he can even think of digging a trench in the camp and building Lu Zhai into a water village - where could I, as a northerner, expect this! Now that the casualties and losses of the soldiers are aside, the morale is extremely low, let alone conquering Jiangling City, and even the retreat of Zhou Yu is hopeless - come on, pack up, let's prepare to retreat.

Even if Zhou Gongjin was victorious, he was not necessarily very happy - although Cao Jun was defeated, he did not break his muscles and bones. Returning to the camp, Bu Qi approached to congratulate, and at the same time reminded Zhou Yu, saying that you have also defeated Cao's army, can we withdraw our troops and return to Jiangdong?

Zhou Yu said that it is not enough, Cao Cao has not officially withdrawn his troops, but I estimate that he will not survive for a few days, Zishan, you will wait for another two or three days, and when Cao Cao leaves, we will go home. But what he didn't expect was that in the early morning of the next day, another messenger suddenly came from Jiangdong, urging the class teacher, and his words were quite fierce. Zhou Yu persuaded him with good words, saying that please wait a few more days, but the envoys went to lobby the battalions on their own, and veterans such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai did not wait for Zhou Yu's order, and took the lead in abandoning the camp and boarding the ship.

When Zhou Gongjin heard the news, he couldn't help screaming, spit blood out of his mouth, and fell backwards...... (To be continued......)
