The battle at night continued, and on the Shuishui River, thousands of sails raced and hundreds of boats competed for the current. The dense boats are still moving forward. In this scene, Liu Xiu obeyed Cao Cao's 'Cao', he really didn't know how many boats Cao 'Cao' made in order to forcibly cross the river, or how many boats he requisitioned in advance to ensure that the soldiers could cross the river in a steady stream.

In the night of fighting, when it was almost dawn, the soldiers resisting on the south bank gradually decreased.

"The Jingzhou soldiers can't stop it, kill it. ”

"The opportunity is here, rush, capture Liu Xiu alive, and make contributions. ”

"Sons, kill with me. ”

One by one, Cao Jun roared, screaming and pounced on the Jingzhou military camp not far from the shore. After a night of fighting and a night of confrontation, they finally broke through the defense line of the Jingzhou soldiers.

At this point, the river crossing was victorious.

The Cao soldiers were like rainbows and rushed quickly.

One by one, as if they were afraid of being robbed of their credit, they rushed forward.

Cao '' and slept at night, and after he got up early, he heard the soldiers' imposing shouts of killing, which seemed to have broken through the opponent's camp. Just walked out of the camp tent and was about to go to the river to watch, Cheng Yu came in a hurry.

Cheng Yu looked happy and said, "Prime Minister, you have broken through the south bank." Now, the attack on Liu Xiu's camp has begun. ”

"Good!"

Cao '' couldn't help but shout hello, and walked to the shore with Cheng Yu.

The morning sun is rising, and a round of red sun erupts from the east.

The morning glow in the sky sprinkled all over the earth.

Cao 'Cao' looked up at the sky, and through the mist on the river, his gaze fell on the river on the south bank. At this time, the soldiers who came ashore in waves, without any resistance, quickly rushed towards Liu Xiu's camp.

Cheng Yu said: "Prime Minister, Liu Xiu is defeated!"

Cao's eyes narrowed, stared at the camp, shook his head, and said, "Zhongde Gong, I'm afraid it may not be." ”

Cheng Yu said: "Why did the prime minister express such feelings?"

Cao 'Cao' said: "According to the understanding of the original appearance, the soldiers around Liu Xiu are at least more than 20,000. Although this force is not much, it is not something that can be handled casually. Suddenly, there was no one to resist on the other side. The only explanation should be that after our soldiers crossed the river in large numbers, it became more difficult to defend. Liu Xiu's crossing is not suitable for defense, so he evacuates, and this will be the result. ”

Cheng Yu glanced at the other side of the river again and felt that this was the case.

Not long after, a soldier came back from the other side of the river, and reported: "Prime Minister, Liu Xiu has withdrawn his troops." The camp on the opposite side was empty, and not a single soldier was left. ”

"Cross the river!"

Cao 'Cao' was expressionless and gave the order.

In this battle, Liu Xiu retreated, but Cao 'Cao' did not have a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Because it was not he who really conquered the lower ferry, it was Liu Xiu who took the initiative to retreat. After Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 to cross the river, he temporarily camped at the lower ferry on the south bank to count the losses.

After counting the results, Cao's face darkened.

Liu Xiu relied on the position of the ferry port to consume 6,000 soldiers under his command.

The loss of 6,000 soldiers in World War I was quite huge.

Although many soldiers fell into the river and may return, soldiers in the north generally do not know how to water, and falling into the river is equivalent to death.

With 6,000 casualties, Cao's mood can be imagined.

The big tent of the Chinese army, Cao's '' face sank like water.

This battle was the first 'confrontation' between him and Liu Xiu. On the surface, he won, but in fact, it was Liu Xiu who patted his ass and walked away after the victory. Cao 'Cao' felt uncomfortable, looked at the generals under his command, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu's retreat must be to Chaoyang County, but he will supply in Chaoyang County at most, and it is impossible for him to be stationed in Chaoyang County." Everyone, who dares to pursue Liu Xiu for the prime minister. ”

As long as Liu Xiu is dragged by Cao Cao's army, and Cao Cao' leads the army to chase after him, he can completely trap Liu Xiu.

Once Liu Xiu is dragged down, it is equivalent to defeat.

Cao Zhen stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, the last general is willing to be a pioneer." ”

"Prime Minister, the last general is willing to go. ”

Cao Zhang also stood up and took the initiative to ask for battle.

Dian Man hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, the last general is willing to go!"

Xu Yi also stood up and said, "Prime Minister, the last general is willing to go." ”

These young generals were all married to Liu Xiu when they were in Xu County. Now that he has the opportunity to pursue Liu Xiu, he is naturally willing to take revenge.

Cao Ren suffered a big loss at the hands of Liu Xiu, and he also wanted to be ashamed, so he said slowly: "Prime Minister, the last general asks for meritorious service." The last general has been in Nanyang County for many years, and is familiar with the topography of Nanyang County, which is the most suitable for pursuing Liu Xiu. ”

One by one, they took the initiative to ask for battle, and they were all eager to go right away.

Cao 'Cao' felt the fighting spirit of the generals under his command, and the 'yin' mood in his heart, he suddenly became cheerful, and chuckled: "If you want to pursue a small Liu Xiu, why do you need such a big battle." This time, Cao Ren was the main general, accompanied by Xu Yi and Dianman. This phase will give you five thousand 'fine' sharp, don't seek to annihilate Liu Xiu, just drag Liu Xiu. ”

"No!"

Cao Ren, Xu Yi and Dian were full of excitement, and their faces were excited.

After Cao Zhang heard this, his expression was gloomy.

......

Magou is located fifteen miles north of Chaoyang County.

It is called Magou because there is a Magou River that runs through it. However, although the Magou River is swollen, the river is not deep, only knee-deep, and the river is full of pebbles, so you can walk directly over it.

From the Shushui River to Chaoyang County, you will pass through Magou.

When Cao Ren led his army across the Magou River, he checked the situation of the Magou River and confirmed that there was no ambush, so he led the army directly across the Magou River and went south to Chaoyang County.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a sentry sped back.

The sentry came to Cao Ren's body and reported: "General, five miles ahead, the Jingzhou army has been discovered. ”

Dian Man's eyes immediately flashed with expectation, and he immediately said: "General, let me lead three hundred soldiers first, and catch up with Liu Xiu's army as quickly as possible." Then, the general came in pursuit. When the general arrives, entangle Liu Xiu, and the prime minister's army will also arrive. When the time comes, we will be victorious. ”

Xu Yi said: "General, I am also willing to lead three hundred soldiers to chase after me." ”

The two are high-spirited and can't wait to make meritorious contributions.

Cao Ren suffered a big loss last time, especially after hearing the tragic situation of Xu Huang and Xu Chu, he became vigilant, shook his head and said: "The army does not divide the troops, and they will rush together." ”

As soon as these words came out, Dian Man and Xu Yi were disappointed.

The army hurried quickly, and soon encountered the Jingzhou army five miles away.

This place is a wide terrain and there are no mountains and forests.

When Cao Ren saw such terrain, his heart was steady, at least Liu Xiu did not ambush.

Cao Ren's eyes turned and fell on the person in charge.

This person is Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu rode on the horse, his eyes also staring at Cao Ren. His eyes wandered, and he saw Dian Man, Xu Yi and others, and a smile appeared on his face.

Cao Ren pulled out his sword with a sonorous sound and shouted, "Liu Xiu, the prime minister is leading the army to kill." Now, you don't surrender yet. ”

Liu Xiu didn't answer, but just rode his horse out of the way and shouted, "Flying Tiger Battalion, attack." ”

"Flying Tiger Battalion, kill!"

Huang Hu raised the drum in his hand and raised the golden hammer, and rushed out on horseback.

"Flying Tiger Battalion, kill!"

"Flying Tiger Battalion, kill!"

The neat shouts of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion resounded all around.

The soldiers of the 1,000 Flying Tiger Battalion rushed out quickly. I saw that when the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion in the front row charged, they actually took out their crossbows from their waists.

All the soldiers did not aim at all, but simply pointed their crossbows forward, and pulled the trigger.

"Whoa!"

The crossbow bolts broke through the air and went straight to the vanguard army under Cao Ren's command.

In an instant, the soldiers at the front under Cao Ren's command fell one after another with arrows.

Cao Ren shouted: "Kill!" At this time, even if the soldiers under Liu Xiu's command had crossbows, Cao Ren could not retreat, and had to order a charge and rush up to entangle Liu Xiu.

The soldiers of the Cao army braved the crossbow arrows and quickly 'approached'.

However, after three rounds of crossbow attacks, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion changed their formation.

After the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion in the first row rushed out, they put away their crossbows and pulled out their waists. They began to go around on both sides, and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion attacked with their crossbows.

For a time, the Flying Tiger battalion attacked on both sides, while in the middle was a crossbow arrow 'shooting', forming an encirclement.

The soldiers of the Cao army who were killed and wounded under the crossbow arrows grew older and more.

A thousand soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion formed an encirclement and pounced on both flanks.

The middle position stands out.

Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang, it's up to you to perform this time." You studied under Tong Lao, and your hundred birds and phoenix spears have never been seen before. ”

Zhang Ren rode on a horse, carrying a silver-white 'colored' gun, and said: "The humble position will not disappoint the lord." After he rushed out, he led two thousand soldiers and pounced on Cao Ren's central army.

Liu Xiu looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Cao 'Cao' intended to send a vanguard to entangle him, but it was impossible to do so. On the contrary, this vanguard will become something in Liu Xiu's mouth and be directly taken down by Liu Xiu.
