At three o'clock in the morning, in the hills and mountains south of Zhushui, which was later called Laojun Mountain, the scouts sent by Wang Tu detected the situation outside Zhuyang City.

Zhuyang is located north of Zhushui and west of Hanshui, and their location is south of Zhushui, across the Zhushui River.

By reconnoitring on the mountain, you will see that the camp of the Jingzhou army on the south bank of Zhushui at the foot of the mountain has been arranged, and Zhushui and the river are densely packed with small troop carriers such as Maotu, Luhua, and Walking.

This kind of troop carrier can only carry more than 20 people at a time, and although it is not as good as a ship in the middle of the river like a warship, and still less an aircraft carrier like a building ship, it is better than a light ship and is very fast.

When Xiahoudun was still walking slowly in the mountains, the navy sent by Shen Chen had already taken a shortcut and rushed to Wang Fuzhou.

Wang Tu's scouts not only saw the fleet south of Zhushui, but also saw the Jingzhou army troops outside Zhuyang City in the distance, although they didn't know if Yin County on the other side was attacked or disturbed, but probably it shouldn't be easy over there.

"General." After hearing the scout's report, Wang Tu's lieutenant said to him: "Now that the south side of Zhushui has been occupied by the enemy, we are afraid that we can only make a detour from the west side of Zhushui, but the soldiers have been walking all night, and they are all tired, why don't you rest for a while, and wait for the arrival of the main force of the former general in the afternoon before crossing the river and entering the city?" ”

"Hmm." Wang Tu felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay." At that moment, he led the soldiers to the west and began to go around, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they hid near the foot of the mountain, and let the soldiers rest in the forest first, take a nap, and then march to Zhuyang City.

But less than an hour after resting, a loud trumpet suddenly sounded in the distance. The scouts sent by Wang Tu responded that the Jingzhou army south of Zhushui had crossed the river by boat, surrounded Zhuyang, and was now preparing to attack the city on the north bank of Zhushui.

Receiving this news, Wang Tu was overjoyed, he felt that if the enemy's main force went to surround the city of Zhuyang, then the enemy's camp would definitely be empty, why didn't he sneak attack the enemy's camp and rob the opponent's ships?

At that time, not only Zhuyang and Yin counties will be saved, but after the arrival of Xiahoudun's main force, they will be able to use the ships and the posture of the front and rear to annihilate all the enemies.

Thinking of this, Wang Tu immediately urged the soldiers to get up, and the soldiers dragged their bodies that had just woken up and were still tired, full of complaints.

Zhao Yunjun's camp is located on the plain south of Zhushui, there are also many islands on the Zhushui River, their ships docked at the Han River wharf in the east, Zhushui trickles in the north, and the islands in the center of the river are full of high turrets and guard towers of the Jingzhou army.

Not only Jiangxinzhou, but also the area of Laojun Mountain in the south was also full of scouts, so Wang Tujun was extremely cautious, and the scouts only dared to watch the situation from a distance on the high slope of the mountain, and did not dare to approach the past.

At this time, Wang Tu led the soldiers to lurk patiently. At the end of noon, they watched thousands of the enemy's troops leave their tents, cross the Zhushui River in small boats, and march towards the Zhuyang City, Wang Tucai waved his hand and signaled the two lieutenants to act according to the plan.

Soon the two of them each took hundreds of soldiers and climbed to Laojun Mountain again, and then waited until noon, they went from the east of Laojun Mountain to the Han River, and marched north.

Wang Tu led the main force along the foot of Laojun Mountain, through the jungle, and slowly moved towards the Zhao Yun military camp on the south bank of Zhushui in the distance.

In the early winter of October, the cold wind blows, the water and grass on both sides of the Zhushui River wither, and the people of Zhuyang and Yin counties either leave their hometowns or are flooded because of the flooding, causing the original township pavilions to be all dilapidated, leaving only a ruined wall.

There were originally several villages to the south of the Zhaoyun military camp, but at this time only a few dilapidated houses remained, and the trees were washed away by the flood, the houses collapsed, and the mud and sand buried the weeds, which made the view extremely wide.

Wang Tu didn't dare to rush directly, because people could see him from a distance of several miles, so he could only choose to take a detour and pass by the cover of the forest from the foot of Laojun Mountain.

Maybe the enemy's attention was focused on Zhuyang, or maybe the Jingzhou army did not place too many scouts in the area of Laojun Mountain, until Wang Tu approached less than a mile south of the military camp before he was discovered by the outlying sentry and sent a signal.

"Woooooooooooo The desolate horn sounded in the air, and the dozens of sentry soldiers of Zhao Yunjun's army on the periphery all ran back to the camp in a panic.

Seeing this, Wang Tu raised the knife in his hand and shouted, "Kill! ”

"Kill~~~" Cao Jun let out a weak cry. I really ran for a day and a night, and I rested for a total of an hour, and I really didn't have much energy to burst out.

But this still frightened the camp of the Jingzhou army, and dozens of heads suddenly appeared at the head of the village to look south, and all kinds of shouts, bone whistles, urgings, and shouts were endless.

Zhao Yunbu arrived only one day earlier than Xiahoudun, and the camp layout on the periphery was extremely simple, and the fence made by temporarily cutting some trees was not as tall as anyone, and there was no fortification such as rejecting horses, iron thistles, and pits.

Wang Tu's army did not have a formation, but he chose to divide his troops into two ways, attacking Zhao Yun's army camp from the south and east, and there were only hundreds of people left in the camp.

Soon Wang Tu occupied their camp, the only fly in the ointment was that because Zhao Yunbu crossed the river by boat, the boats were all gone, and the remaining part of the boats, the soldiers who stayed behind also fled in embarrassment, and drove away one after another, and there were still more than 20 small boats left on the wharf in the same place, and only four or five hundred people could be transported each time.

But even so, it was a big victory, and Wang Tu decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and sent his generals to drive the remaining ships and start attacking Jiangxinzhou on the surface of the Zhushui River.

This water is the South River of Gucheng County in later generations. Downstream to the Han River, there is a huge river island that almost connects the two banks.

In later generations, sometimes the Nanhe River was drier in summer, and people could even walk directly to the exposed river beach to Jiangxinzhou, and then walk directly from Jiangxinzhou to the other side.

However, at this time, the upper reaches of the Han River were surging, and although the flood had passed, the water stored in the upper reaches of the Han River was still flowing downward, resulting in a very high water level in the upper reaches of the Han River, and even many Jiangxinzhou were submerged.

Therefore, it is not easy for Wang Tu to cross the river. It happened that Zhao Yunbu also built some high turrets on Jiangxinzhou, and the soldiers who escaped from the camp and the soldiers who stayed in Jiangxinzhou shot arrows at Jiangzhong, and the soldiers who tried to rush to the island were hit by arrows one after another and were forced to retreat.

The two sides were caught in a brief standoff, and although Wang Tu arrived at the right time and captured Zhao Yun's camp, his soldiers were too tired to force their way through.

So it's hard to make a successful raid. Time passed minute by minute, and another hour passed, and at the beginning of the afternoon, about one o'clock in the afternoon, countless Cao troops appeared all over the Laojun Mountain in the south.

Xiahoudun's main force finally arrived in Zhuyang belatedly. At this time, the battlefield had already changed, and Zhao Yunbu, who was originally going to besiege Zhuyang City, learned that the rear camp was attacked, and with a roar, the soldiers boarded the ship one after another, returned to the ship, and then shot arrows on the boat to the shore.

Wang Tu occupied the original Zhao Yun's camp, ordered the soldiers who were on the boat in front of him to retreat, dragged the boat into the camp, and defended it against the opponent's rain of arrows.

They were lightly armed, carrying few arrows, and were basically in the defensive stage of hiding behind the fence, and only when Zhao Yun's soldiers were ready to land on the shore to snatch back the camp, they would use bows and arrows to fight back, and they held on quite reluctantly.

The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, Xiahoudun of Laojun Mountain in the distance hurriedly led the soldiers down the mountain, and the scouts who were exploring the way in front had already returned and reported to Xiahoudun: "Report! ”

"What's going on?"

"General Wang said that the enemy came out of the camp to surround Zhuyang, and only a few people remained in the camp, and he took the opportunity to seize the camp and was fighting with the enemy across the bank."

"Hahahaha." Xiahoudun laughed and said, "They would not have thought that we were galloping in the starry night last night, and thought that we would not be able to get here until at least tomorrow, soldiers, follow me into the camp." Cao Jun, who had only rested for two hours in the middle, continued to hurry, heading towards the camp that Wang Tu had obtained.

The army of 30,000 was like a black cloud, covering the entire wilderness, quickly approaching the location of Wang Tu and entering the camp.

Since the camp was only built yesterday and could only accommodate 5,000 people, Xiahoudun only brought hundreds of guards into the camp, and the rest of the soldiers were outside the camp, so that everyone lined up and marched to the shore, shooting arrows to force the enemy back.

Soon, a large number of Cao troops approached the banks of the Zhushui River, using shields as defenses to cover the archers, and thousands of bows and crossbows shot arrows at the boats on the river, frightening Zhao Yun's generals to retreat to Jiangxinzhou in panic.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while. Although there were more than 20 ships in Xiahoudun's department, each of them could only carry more than 20 people, which meant that it was impossible to transport too many soldiers and horses at one time, and it was difficult to force the river to cross.

But if you don't cross the river, Xiahou is very reluctant. Because the soldiers were already tired and sleepy, everyone could not get a good rest, although they robbed Zhao Yun's camp, they could not let everyone enter the camp to sleep.

After a stalemate for a long time, Xiahoudun thought of a way, he asked the soldiers of Wang Tubu to sleep in the camp first, and he stayed on the shore himself.

Wait until Wang Tubu wakes up, and then let the other departments sleep, so that they can take turns to rest, and they can recover their energy. However, Zhao Yunbu on the other side obviously knew his plan, the gongs and drums were noisy, the bows and crossbows were constant, and he used the maneuverability of the ships to constantly harass him, and at the same time, Xiahoudun's scouts also reported that hundreds of ships came from the direction of Hanshui in the east.

This made Xiahoudun's brows tighten even more. He knew that Shen Chen would not only send this person, and the current situation was very delicate.

The soldiers could not cross on the opposite bank, but the reinforcements on the opposite side were coming, and if the enemy continued to reinforce them, they would be tired and sleepy, and they would not rest well, and they would definitely suffer if they were forced to fight.

Therefore, Xiahoudun felt that he could not hesitate, if the opposite side blocked the river by relying on ships, or took the opportunity to raid, then his situation would be very dangerous.

At that moment, he changed his strategy and immediately prepared to forcibly cross the river, ordering his soldiers to suppress with bows and crossbows to push the enemy back from Jiangxinzhou.

At the same time, he sent people to cut down trees and build rafts, and at the same time ordered Wang Tu to use the twenty boats to transport troops over.

Jiang Xinzhou is very close to the south bank, it is only thirty-four meters, Cao soldiers on the shore to shoot arrows at Zhao Yunbu, in the case of numerical superiority, Zhao Yunbu fled in panic, and finally gave way to Jiang Xinzhou and left by boat.

Wang Tu immediately took his soldiers and began to transport troops, and quickly seized Jiang Xinzhou. After having a stronghold, under the cover of Wang Tubu and Cao's army on the shore, twenty troop transport ships continued to go back and forth, and 30,000 soldiers were quickly transported to the island in one afternoon.

As I said before, this Jiangxinzhou is almost connected to the other bank, the narrowest place between the two banks is only a few meters, and there is a wooden bridge in the middle of it.

The county seat of Zhuyang County is located on the north bank of Zhushui, after crossing the bridge, you can walk 200 meters to the bottom of the city.

The winter wind blows, the grass and trees on both sides of the island wither, and the world is brown and yellow. Cao's army seized Jiangxinzhou, and hundreds of ships of the Jingzhou army not far away floated on the surface of the Han River, watching from afar.

At first glance, there must be four or five hundred ships, and according to the fact that each ship can carry twenty people, there must be about 10,000 enemy troops. Xiahoudun was riding on horseback, and his eyelids were already a little unable to open up and down.

Cao Cao is already sixty-five years old, let alone him? From the early morning of yesterday morning to this afternoon, there was no rest for two days and one night, and the soldiers' physical strength and energy were almost exhausted.

But the ending is good. He managed to cross the river before enemy reinforcements arrived. In this way, there is no way for the other side to block him here by seizing Jiang Xinzhou, and there is no need to worry about the other party raiding the camp tonight while they are extremely tired.

for they have come down to the city. Xiahoudun urged the horses to cross the wooden bridge, and by this time a third of his army had passed, and more than 10,000 horses had reached the north bank.

Some of them immediately went to the walled wall by the river and waited for them. Fu Fang is quite effective, and he did build some walled walls.

Xiahoudun saw that the soldiers were all in place, guarding against the ships on the river in the distance, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand: "Enter the city!" ”

"Enter the city!" His other lieutenant, Zhong Jin, shouted, and the Cao soldiers immediately cheered.

At this time, Cao Jun was exhausted to the extreme, and everyone now had only one thought in their hearts - to enter the city and then sleep well.

Xiahoudun led the soldiers towards the city of Zhuyang. Dozens of Cao Wei soldiers in black armor above the city wall looked over, and the banner on it still read a big one

The word "Fu". When he arrived outside the city, Zhong Jin shouted, "Where is Fu Fang? ”

"Yes." Fu Fang popped up.

"Open the gates, the former general is back." Zhong Jin shouted. Fu Fang looked at it and asked, "Where is the general?" Xiahoudun rode out of the crowd: "What are you talking about, I'm here!" ”

"You're looking for you!" A figure suddenly appeared on the head of the city, the man had an old face and a gray beard, but he was burly, in good spirits, and he was holding a longbow in his hand, and he had set up an arrow and aimed at Xiahoudun.

Almost as soon as he appeared, countless figures emerged from the city, all of them carrying bows and crossbows, aiming at the enemy outside the city.

"What?" Xiahoudun was shocked, almost a sentence

The word "withdraw" has not yet been exported. The next second. Huang Zhong let go of the arrow in his hand.

"Hugh!" The arrow pierced through the sky, as if tearing through the void, and in the blink of an eye, it came to Xiahoudun's neck.

Xiahoudun wanted to raise his knife to block it, but he was old, and after two days and one night, his energy dropped extremely much, and his arms were as heavy as a mountain, and he couldn't lift them at all.

"Poof!" With a sound of entering the flesh, Xiahoudun fell from his horse with a scream. In an instant, the gate of Zhuyang City was opened.

Countless Jingzhou soldiers shouted in their mouths

The word "kill" rushed like a tide. At the same time, the Jingzhou army on the boat on the river in the distance also began to land.

The horn of "woo woo woo" is endless. From the east, south, and north, they will be surrounded by Cao's army, which is trapped under Zhuyang City and Jiangxinzhou.

Time. Without Xiahoudun, the soldiers of the Cao Army, who were extremely tired physically and mentally, were suddenly in chaos.
