Finally, the Wei army got up to the tower, Cao Ren was naturally overjoyed, "Pass on my military order, General Xu Zhen will lead 50,000 troops to the left, General Cai Yang will lead 50,000 troops to the right, and the others will follow me to launch the final attack on Donghai City from the middle road."

Even if there are soldiers who can go up to the city tower, it is basically the overall situation, as long as there are no accidents, there will be no problems in capturing Donghai City. However, Cao Ren also wanted to add an insurance policy to this matter, he wanted to win this game with the advantage of the number of soldiers under his command, and make enough preparations for his withdrawal to Xiapi City.

"Rush!" As soon as Cao Ren gave the order, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops moved, rushing from afar, and their momentum was indeed very shocking.

At this moment, with such a momentum, General Ling Tong of the vanguard army also climbed the city tower with the help of a cloud ladder under the protection of his own soldiers, but he was originally happy, but after he got the city tower, he was shocked, because in his eyes, there were countless soldiers of the Celestial Empire who were holding halberds and spears looking at him and his Wei soldiers.

Just by looking at it, there were more than tens of thousands of people, which was far more than Ling Tong expected, especially when he saw that the corpses of his own soldiers were basically falling on the ground, he knew that he had won the plan.

It stands to reason that after attacking the city tower, what should appear is the scene of their own soldiers rushing and the Celestial Empire's army retreating, how can it be like now, their own soldiers are dead, and the Celestial Empire soldiers are still alive?

"It must be reinforcements from the Celestial Empire who have arrived." Ling Tong's reaction was also very fast, which figured out the whole incident, it must be because his marching speed was too slow, and as a result, the Celestial Empire's waterway army rushed from Guangling to Donghai City, but unfortunately they didn't know about it.

Now that he knew this, Ling Tong naturally wanted to withdraw from the city, and he now needed to report the situation here to General Cao Ren, and then formulate the opposite countermeasures.

But at this moment, Ling Tong wanted to leave again, obviously it was a little late, because as soon as he climbed the city tower, four or five spears stabbed at him, although his reaction was very fast, and he split the spear in front of him with a long knife, but then more spears were handed over, and at the same time, the sound of bows and arrows continued.

Just three or five breaths later, Ling Tong was shot to the arm with a bow and arrow without checking, and then a few spears were handed to him, at this moment his reaction was only half a beat slower, and he was pierced through the body by several spears one after another, and then he found that he could only open his mouth dryly, and he couldn't even make a sound.

Ling Tong, the second-rate general of the Wei army, died in the melee like this, and until the moment before his death, he was still a little unwilling, but this mood could only disappear with him in this world.

Ling Tong was killed, and the other Wei troops who rushed to the city were naturally killed one after another. This makes it seem that from a distance, there are many Wei troops who have climbed the tower, but none of them have a chance to escape back, unless they surrender on their knees immediately, or they will become dead corpses.

How did Cao Ren under Donghai City know this? Seeing the steady stream of soldiers ascending the tower, he thought that they should have controlled the tower, so he was in a good mood at the moment, and even the formation with the army he led was not so close.

"Boom!" After a muffled sound, the Donghai City Gate was also knocked open by the Wei army rushing car under the city, and then groups of Wei soldiers rushed into the city gate with a howl. Often the city gate is broken, which means that the owner of the big city has changed.

Under the city, under the city, they all took the lead, and Cao Ren was even more overjoyed, and even thought in his heart, "What is the strongest Zhang family light cavalry, what is the elite of the elite, in the face of his own sea of people Technique of Warfare, isn't it the same failure?" He only hoped that these Zhang family light cavalry hadn't escaped too much.

Cao Ren saw the "victory" on the frontal battlefield, so he began to order the left and right armies to gather at his place, and for a while, the formation of the Wei army changed significantly, but they were all victorious, who would care if the formation was chaotic?

The Wei army approached the gate of Donghai City, waiting for the joy of victory and enjoying the fruits of victory. It's just that he didn't expect that the battlefield that seemed to have been settled suddenly sounded with countless war drums, and then, there were deafening shouts of killing from all directions, and then countless soldiers in black armor rushed out from the city gate, and at the same time, countless soldiers of the Celestial Empire also rushed out on both sides of the city.

"Tong!" A general wearing a general's uniform fell from under the tower of the East China Sea, and if he looked closely, it was General Ling Tong, who was full of holes.

"It's not good, General Ling Tong was killed."

"It's not good, General Xu Zhen on the left was killed..."

"Not good, the soldiers who stormed the city were killed..."

"Oh no, there is an enemy on the right side ..."

"Not good, there is an enemy on the left side ..."

For a while, bad information came, and Cao Ren, as the chief general, became more and more panicked the more he listened, at this time, if he didn't know that he had been tricked, he would really be an idiot general.

Hearing all kinds of bad news, seeing countless enemies rushing out of the East China Sea City Gate, and there were also black-clothed soldiers rushing out on the left and right sides, Cao Ren knew that he had been tricked, there were not only 20,000 Zhang family light cavalry in this East China Sea City, but countless other Celestial Empire soldiers.

"Withdraw, retreat quickly, after General Cai Yang is broken, the situation of the other pedestrian echelons will retreat!" Cao Ren knew that something was wrong, so he immediately yelled loudly, turned his horse and fled, and took the lead in retreating to the rear.

If it is said that there is a problem early, this order may be effectively conveyed, but in front of the Wei army, whose formation has long been chaotic, who will listen to Cao Ren's military order at this moment, and how many people will carry it out?

At this moment, everyone is desperately retreating, just trying to save their lives, as for counterattacking and breaking off, there will definitely be no going to do it.

Cao Ren retreated, Cai Yang also retreated, and the other groups of Wei soldiers who could escape fled, and for a time the battle line began to rout, so that the Celestial Empire Waterway Legion, which was pursuing in the back, caught up with it without much effort, and captured countless Wei troops.

Gan Ning, the commander of the Waterway Legion, even held the Xingyue Knife and killed fiercely. After seeing the defeat of the Wei army, he said a little anxiously, "General Yan Xing, the prisoners here have been handed over to you, and the others will kill them with me and the Zhang family light cavalry." ”

As early as two days ago, Gan Ning had come to the East China Sea Country from Guangling with the Waterway Legion.

When he saw that the Zhang family's light cavalry was still occupying here, he was naturally overjoyed, and he was about to take the 300,000 waterway legions that arrived to kill him, but he was stopped by Buqi.

Bu Qi thought that at this moment, Cao Ren did not know that the waterway army had arrived, and he must have thought that there were only 20,000 Zhang family light cavalry in the city, if this was the case, then it was better to be quiet and not move, and it was the best way to lure the enemy to the front of him and kill the party.

Bu Qi's suggestion was finally adopted by Gan Ning, but he asked that once the big war started, he needed to rush to the front, and as long as he agreed to this request, he would cooperate with Bu Qi and the Zhang family light cavalry.

Knowing that Gan Ning is a fierce general who likes to charge, Bu Qi agreed to this request, and now seeing that the defeat of the Wei army is imminent, Gan Ning will naturally continue to charge, and seeing one after another Wei troops in front of him or captured, or killed, Gan Ning is in a good mood, but considering that Cao Ren has not yet subdued the law, there is indeed some dislike, and he continues to pursue with the army.

Cao Ren, who had already withdrawn from the East China Sea City, saw that there was still a Celestial Empire army chasing and killing behind him, and his anger came up for a while. He was calculated by others before, so he suffered such heavy losses, but now that he has withdrawn from the battlefield, the other party is still chasing after him, is it really impossible for him to be bullied?

"You guys kill me back, I want to see if these Celestial Dynasty soldiers aren't fleshy, and they can't be killed?" Cao Ren was angry, so he stopped his horse and stopped, and then turned back and killed with an iron-tipped spear in his hand.

Cao Ren did so, and the rest of the Wei army, under the influence of the general, also had many people who fought their horses and returned, but there were still some soldiers who had already been killed, and these people followed General Cai Yang and continued to the rear.

At this moment, Cai Yang was indeed afraid, seeing that Ling Tong and General Xu Zhen were both dead in front of the battle, he knew that this time the Wei army was defeated, and it could even be said that it was a defeat, and he was afraid that he would even have a chance to take revenge. Even like this, he will kill back, but he will die for himself, so he will not do it stupidly.

Cai Yang fled, and also took with him nearly 100,000 Wei troops, who rushed towards the place where General Deng Ai was in the rear.

Deng Ai, the character Shizai, was a native of Yiyang Jianyang (now Xinye, Henan). During the Three Kingdoms period, he was an outstanding military strategist and general of the Wei State. He is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, proficient in the art of war, and has also made great achievements in internal affairs. His real name was Deng Fan, and he later changed his name because he had the same name as his fellow villagers. Deng Ai has been on the western front of Cao Wei for many years to guard against Shu Han Jiang Wei.

Deng Ai in history has some fame and means, but that is a later thing, and now his reputation is indeed not very loud, otherwise, he would not have been arranged by Cao Ren to escort grain and grass and be a post-empress general.

Just when Cao Ren's army began to attack the East China Sea Kingdom, the rear army led by Deng Ai was also attacked by the army of Lu Bu behind him.

The grain and grass of the 500,000 army is not a small number, just the carriage has nearly a thousand, which also makes their speed not very fast, which makes the Lu Bu army in the rear finally catch up with them after destroying the 100,000 broken army left by Cao Ren.

As soon as he heard that Lü Bu had arrived in the rear, Deng Ai hurriedly sent scouts to inform General Cao Ren for support, and at the same time he set up a defensive position in the same place. Because he was in charge of logistics, he took out all the thistles in the general and placed them on the ground, and then the archers were arranged behind the thistles, ready to shoot the pursuing cavalry of the Celestial Empire at any time.
