Afternoon.

Cai Mao gathered a large army, beat the war drums, and a total of hundreds of huge warships docked at the riverside, creating a mighty momentum, as if telling everyone that they were going to cross the river from Yanjin to the north bank of the Yellow River and attack the rear of Yang Zhao.

The main force of Cao's army seems to be all on board, but it is actually still hidden on the south bank of the Yellow River, near the Yanjin ferry.

They waited for Yang Zhao to disperse his forces and go back to save the rear, so they went directly to Baima from Yanjin, killed Yang Zhao's troops attacking Baima, held Baima, and suppressed Yang Zhao's tendency to attack Dongjun.

As long as the white horse can hold on, Yang Zhao will not be able to open the situation in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao thought that they could counterattack back.

"Cross the river!"

Cai Mao shouted loudly.

The warships on the south bank sailed mightily to the north shore.

They soon crossed the Yellow River to the north bank, and after the ships docked, they landed directly.

"De Jue, Yang Zhao's scout has been discovered."

At this time, Huang Zu said loudly.

Several of Yang Zhao's scouts saw Cao Jun crossing the river to kill, and they turned around and ran.

Cai Mao said: "Only when the scouts discover that our plan of feint attack can be implemented, and the momentum will continue to be greater, approaching Yang Zhao's rear, and increasing the pressure on Yang Zhao." ”

Although their feints were small, they numbered more than 20,000 people.

The military flags erected in the army, and the momentum created, created an illusion that there were 80,000 people, and the momentum was indeed very grand, and they approached Yang Zhao's rear together.

If it weren't for Yang Zhaojun, who got the news of the shadow in advance, they would really think that Cao Jun was going to attack the rear.

Now he was deployed to the rear, and the person in charge of defense was Guo Huai, who got the news brought back by the scouts, and directly ordered the defense, Sun Quan and Sun Yi also followed Guo Huai to assist in the deployment of troops.

Cai Mao and them are just feints.

Approaching to the rear, they did not attack immediately, but just stationed in a stalemate, waiting for news from Baima's side, if Baima was saved, they would disturb Yang Zhao's rear and then retreat.

Guo Huai didn't take the initiative to attack, but just gathered troops and horses and confronted Cai Mao cooperatively.

It seems as if the two sides will fight at any moment.

But they all know that what is needed next is time.

Cai Mao waited for Cao Cao to defeat Yang Zhao and save the white horse in a short period of time, so that he could determine what to do next, whether to fight or retreat.

Guo Huai was delaying time, dragging Cai Mao and the others, interfering with Cao Cao's judgment, assisting Yang Zhao to defeat Cao Cao, and then cleaning up all the Cai Mao and others who were feints outside.

This time, it will not be very long.

In about a day, the results will be available.

Yanjin is not very far from Hakuba, and the exchange of news, as well as the start of war, can basically be completed in one day.

The atmosphere on both sides became solemn.

Cai Mao and them were more nervous, after all, Yang Zhao's subordinates were all invincible elites.

——

Outside White Horse Castle.

Cao Cao got the news of Cai Mao, his eyes narrowed, and he said with confidence: "The whole army is ready, waiting for Yang Zhao's movement." ”

After this order was handed down, the entire Cao army entered a combat state.

As long as Yang Zhao dispersed his forces to save the rear, and the main force of Yanjin returned, they could immediately rush over and kill Yang Zhao's troops.

Those weapons are terrible, but can only be used remotely.

They can use the advantage of being outnumbered to resist the pressure of firearms, as long as they can get close, everything is not a problem, and the victory still belongs to them.

Yang Zhao and them also got the news.

"Let the lord guess correctly!"

Impressed, he asked, "What should we do next?" ”

Yang Zhao also couldn't imagine that the battle of Baima Yanjin would still be carried out in the same way as the battle of Guandu, and he thought for a while and said: "Don't care about the Cao army who crossed the river, pass on my military order, gather immediately, and attack Baima." ”

Knock knock knock......

The drums of the rally and the assault echoed through the camp.

Yang Zhao not only did not divide his troops to go back to support the rear, but also directly launched an attack and attacked Baima, which was even more ferocious than the previous one, which made Cao Cao and them stunned, which was a little unexpected.

"Zhicai, how's it going?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yang Zhao should want to fight everything, gather all his strength to take down the white horse, and then kill us, forcing the army that crossed the river to come back, and he doesn't want to give up the situation he has fought now."

Xi Zhong's brain made up all kinds of possibilities, and analyzed: "But it is also possible that he saw through our feint to cross the river." ”

Cao Cao asked again: "How to deal with it?" ”

Chen Gong said: "The subordinates think that the feint attack should be turned into a real attack. The lord retreated one after another, widening the distance between him and Yang Zhao to prevent Yang Zhao from rushing over desperately. After we took the rear of Yang Zhaoda, we gathered the remaining forces and trapped Yang Zhao in Dongjun, so that he could not cross the river and go back, nor could he escape in the direction of Xuzhou. ”

Xi Zhong agreed: "This plan is very good. ”

"This plan works!"

Cheng Yu and Chen Qun said at the same time.

Since their advisers all felt that it was feasible, Cao Cao said in a loud voice: "Pass my order to let the entire Yanzhou garrison gather on my side and prepare to intercept and kill Yang Zhao." ”

If you fight this battle, you can defeat Yang Zhao.

Beat the morale of the army.

Cao Cao thought that it would not be difficult to hold Yanzhou, and he could even counterattack to capture Wei County and enter Jizhou.

After passing the order, Cao Cao distanced himself, and if there was any accident, he could still run away as soon as possible, so as not to be chased and killed by Yang Zhao.

At the same time, the garrisons of all counties in Yanzhou were gathering in Baima.

Their plan is good, the only flaw is that they underestimate the power of firearms too much, Yang Zhao is confident that he will not return to help, and directly attack Baima, not that he didn't think that the feint attack would become a real strong attack, but he didn't divide his troops to go back to defend at all, and he also had enough confidence in firearms.

Those firearms can finish Cao Cao's army.

Rumble!

Just when Cao Cao responded, Yang Zhao's side had already launched an attack.

The artillery continued to bombard the walls of Hakuba, and after a few more shots, the earthen walls collapsed, and the stones blocking the gates were pierced, and the walls of Hakuba were broken in this way.

"Retreat!"

Liu Yan received Cao Cao's order that as long as the city was broken, they must withdraw as soon as possible.

Cao Cao: They have other arrangements.

All the soldiers defending the city in the city, through the southern gate, withdrew from White Horse City one after another to join Cao Cao.

"Ziming and Boyan led 10,000 troops into the city."

"Others, follow me to Cao Cao and kill!"

Yang Zhao ordered.

Lu Meng and Lu Xun were ordered to first lead 10,000 people, blast the dilapidated city gate and city wall, and then blast a bigger opening, and together led the troops into the city, killing all the hundreds of guards that remained inside.

Yang Zhao led his troops to Cao Cao's side to kill.

The battle between the two sides began like this.

The white horse fell directly, but Cao Cao didn't care, as long as he could control Yang Zhao and defeat him, he would be able to take it back sooner or later.

At this time, all the soldiers in Yanzhou were still gathering in the direction of Baima, and Cao Cao was ready to pull Yang Zhao, dragging Yang Zhao in Dongjun while gathering soldiers, and then creating opportunities for Cai Mao and them to destroy Yang Zhao's rear.
