Gao Shun and Guo Huai, pursued all the way.

When they chased in front of the artillery, they happened to meet the shells that came out, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were bombarded by the artillery on the spot, and after hundreds of people died, all the soldiers behind had to stop.

"Bring all our artillery."

Guo Huai shouted.

The Cao army in front was still bombarding with artillery.

Their purpose was not to destroy Gao Shun and others, but to prevent Gao Shun from pursuing them, and to create enough opportunities and conditions for Cao Cao's escape.

As for whether they can win or not, it is not within their consideration, as a dead soldier, they are destined to be sacrificed, and they don't care about victory or defeat.

Guo Huai and they pushed the artillery forward and bombarded Cao Jun directly, Cao Jun's artillery was quickly scrapped, and then Guo Huai and they continued to pursue Cao Jun and chased them all the way for a long time, but Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity to run farther and farther.

They can't catch up anymore.

"Forget it!"

Gao Shun saw that Guo Huai was still chasing after him, so he had no choice but to let Guo Huai stop, and there was no way to chase him anymore.

Guo Huai insisted on chasing for a while, and then stopped insisting and waited until Yang Zhao caught up and reported the situation.

"In other words, Cao Cao ran in the direction of Dangyang Bridge?"

Yang Zhao asked curiously.

The wheel of history has turned around, and some things will still return to their original trajectory.

It's just that history has changed the parties, and now it is Cao Cao.

"It stands to reason that the front can only go to Dangyang Bridge, and Cao Cao and the others can only escape in the direction of Dangyang Bridge." Guo Huai nodded slightly.

"Let's go along and have a look."

Yang Zhao did not blame them, but was deeply interested in how Cao Cao would escape and what he might do next.

They walked south for a while, passed through the Nagasaka slope, and soon came to the edge of the Dangyang Bridge.

I saw that the bridge here had long been destroyed by Cao Cao.

This is also a practice of procrastinating for time.

Yang Zhao said: "Rebuild the pontoon bridge, and we will chase it again." ”

He was even wondering, should there be a battle of Chibi in the Cao-Liu coalition army next?

If that's the case, it's so much fun.

Yang Zhao also doesn't know how to describe the various situations that have arisen since history developed here.

I just think it's incredible.

The whole army reorganized for a while, and finally camped on the bank, and some soldiers went to prepare enough pontoon bridges, and crossed the river to chase Cao Cao on the pontoon bridges.

"By the way, Xingba them, is there any news?"

Yang Zhao thought of the attack by waterway.

Shi A came over and said: "According to the latest news, Gan Xingba and they are already near Chaisang, just above the Yangtze River. ”

Gan Ning is almost here.

Yang Zhao said: "Pass the order, let Gan Xingba start to advance towards the Yangtze River, as long as you see Cao Cao's warship, or pontoon bridge, etc., don't hesitate, just shoot the cannon!" ”

"Yes!"

Shi Ah said.

Next, prepare for a decisive battle against Cao Cao.

Yang Zhao is still a little looking forward to what Cao Cao will do after defeating Cao Cao.

Is it willing to submit, or is it to resist to the end and fight to the death?

They used to be friends.

To let Yang Zhao kill Cao Cao, in fact, there is still a little unbearable.

But letting Cao Cao live is not what he wants, if he submits, he should be monitored, but Cao Cao really wants to fight to the death, then it is another story.

——

Cao Cao and others ran wildly all the way.

Broke the Dangyang Bridge to ensure that no one was chasing and killing in the rear, Yang Zhao couldn't catch up for the time being, he breathed a sigh of relief, let people rest on the spot, and after resting for about an hour, he continued to hurry.

Rush directly to the Yangtze River.

When I came to the Yangtze River, it was already the next morning.

As soon as they stopped by the river, they saw warships appear on the river, and they almost thought that Yang Zhao's navy had chased the Yangtze River, but when they saw the flag on the boat, they found that it was Liu Bei's navy.

"Cao Mengde, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Liu Bei appeared on the boat.

Seeing Cao Cao who was so embarrassed, his heart suddenly balanced.

Liu Bei was also embarrassed back then, and had to take refuge in Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said: "Liu Xuande, these are your troops in Yizhou? ”

Seeing that hundreds of warships appeared on the river, this lineup was actually a bit big, but their warships in Jingzhou were no less than those in Sichuan and Shu, and he was actually worried that this was not Yang Zhao's opponent.

"That's right!"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "You're the only one left?" ”

Cao Cao has been developing in Jingzhou for so many years, of course, there are more than these people, and he snorted coldly: "Come here, send orders to all counties, all troops, all concentrate here, and mobilize all our warships in Jingzhou." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the front and asked, "Next, how are you going to fight?" ”

Liu Bei didn't understand much of this, so he could only look at Pang Tong.

"We took the Yangtze River as the line of defense, retreated to the south bank, and fought Yang Zhao."

Pang Tong said: "Whether it is a land battle, or an offensive and defensive battle, we are not Yang Zhao's opponents, I believe that Chu Gong has also experienced it, only to see if the water war can be fought, if we can, we still have a chance." ”

Cao Cao asked, "What if you can't?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Then in addition to fighting to the death, it is surrender." ”

If not, the topic is much heavier.

Cao Cao and the others all understood that this was really the last chance.

The weapons are not as good as Yang Zhao, and the troops are not as good as Yang Zhao.

The pressure is high and the chances are slim.

After listening to Pang Tong's words, all the people present were silent.

Pang Tong said again: "We are united on both sides, and I believe that it is not hopeless to defeat Yang Zhao." ”

He wanted to boost his morale, but when he said this, he didn't have much confidence and couldn't encourage him.

"Zhicai, what do you think?"

Cao Cao asked Xi Zhong beside him.

"That's all it can be."

Xi Zhong can't give any good way, Pang Tong's plan may be the best, and said: "This must be Pang Shiyuan?" ”

They hadn't met before.

Xi Zhong had only heard that Liu Bei had such a strategist by his side.

Pang Tongzuo said: "It's exactly below!" ”

Liu Bei asked, "How long will Yang Zhao have to catch up here?" ”

Xi Zhong said: "There is more than one day! If he wants to chase, after a day, he will definitely be able to catch up. ”

Yang Zhao will definitely chase them, and it is impossible to let them go.

They could only cross the Yangtze River and build a defensive line.

Cao Cao's warships in Jingzhou soon sailed down the Yangtze River, and their number was twice as large as Liu Bei's.

Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao had so many warships, and the warships on both sides combined, there were thousands, and he felt stable again.

Yang Zhao's subordinates are all northerners.

Definitely not good at water warfare.

What's more, Cao Cao is most familiar with Jingzhou.

It has various advantages in the local environment, climate, etc.

"My lord, in the east, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, another batch of warships have come."

At this time, a soldier came back and said more eagerly: "Those warships, it seems that they are not our subordinates, our ships are all here." ”

"What?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly went to look outside the camp.

Liu Bei and the others immediately boarded the warship, and they all looked out to see how the situation was.

I saw dozens of warships, coming from downstream.

The ships, in a peculiar shape, looked big, bigger than theirs.
