Zhao Yun saw that Cao's army was attacking the city, and sure enough, he sent troops to meet him, and Xu Huang ambushed his troops and was caught off guard.

When the two were fighting outside the city, the rear camp caught fire again, and Zhao Yun had a plan in his heart to force Xu Huang to lead the troops to defeat him.

In the dark night, Xu Huang didn't dare to chase rashly, stabilized the formation and told Cao Cao, Cao Jun rushed up, set up a formation outside Bowang City, and morale skyrocketed.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and looked around and said with a smile: "Xu Shu and Zhuge are just like this, they are broken by a certain trick, Liu Qi'er, how can they do it?" ”

Xun You said: "Bowang has no food and grass, the two battalions are broken, Liu Qi will definitely retreat, Cheng will prepare quite early, and kill into Nanyang after dawn." ”

Cao Cao led the troops to the city, it was already dark, only to see Guan Yu's camp was flooded, the tent collapsed, the clothes and armor floated, a mess, Zhao Yun's camp was still burning with fire, and thick smoke was billowing out.

Cao Cao looked left and right, and laughed: "I really responded to Zuo Ci's words, but the disaster of water and fire should be on Liu Qi's head, not me, Cao Mengde!" ”

Cao Chun said with a smile: "Daoist Zuo is actually not wrong, the prime minister is a person who uses water and fire, if there is no such clever plan, how can there be a disaster of water and fire?" ”

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Zihe's words are reasonable, this time to conquer Jingzhou, I should reward Zuo Ci." ”

Cao Chun hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister Huwei, Muster Liu Qi is a dog!" ”

At this time, Tan Ma reported that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had led the remnants of the army to retreat, and the defenders in the city were also leaving the city one after another and heading south.

Cao Cao was about to send troops to chase after him, but when he saw that Zhang Fei was still at the head of the city, he held a spear and glared at Cao Jun, as if he was angry and majestic.

Cao Hong was anxious for revenge, and said hurriedly: "Zhang Fei must be the queen of the city palace, and one person wants to stop my army, and he deceives people too much, so it is better not to send men and horses to chase the enemy." ”

Cheng Yu offered advice: "Why don't you capture Zhang Fei and exchange it for Cao Ren?" ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" Cao Cao nodded happily and ordered Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Le Jin to each guard a gate to surround Bowang, and Xu Huang led his troops to chase the enemy.

Xu Huang led 10,000 elite soldiers to cross Bowang, straight to Bowang Slope chasing, just turned the mountain pass, then saw a team of soldiers and horses standing on the avenue, the first person immediately swords, long beard fluttering, it was Guan Yu.

Xu Huang's heart sank, and after Liu Qi really divided the troops, he stepped forward and shouted: "Yun Chang, the prime minister still admires the general, Liu Bei was harmed by Liu Qi's father and son, and the public is a righteous person, why not abandon the secret and turn to the light?" ”

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "Xu Gongming, in vain you know the word righteousness, a certain brother is righteous in life and death, and is determined to prosper the Han family, how can he serve the Cao thief?" My eldest brother's matter, Guan has his own judgment, and there is no need to wait for you to point fingers. ”

Xu Huang frowned slightly, wanting to chase the enemy, but he was afraid of Guan Yu's courage and did not dare to kill rashly.

Adjutant General Yin clasped his fists and said: "General Xu, if the military plane is delayed, the prime minister will be punished!" ”

Zhu Gaiyan said: "Guan Yu is only two thousand people, we rush up, he has three heads and six arms?" ”

Xu Huang took a deep breath, raised his axe and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Xu Huang shook the mountain axe to take Guan Yu directly, as long as he dragged Guan Yu for a period of time and the wings were scattered, he could win a big victory.

Guan Yu lightly lifted the silk reins, and the red rabbit horse man stood up, galloping out like an arrow from the string, borrowing Xu Huang, and the two fought on the mountain road.

Cao Jun's shout shook the sky, and he rushed forward with Xu Huang, rushing over the mountains and fields like a tide, and submerged the Jingzhou soldiers in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guan Yu burst into shouts and forced Xu Huang back, and led the remnants of the army to the south.

Just walked a few miles, suddenly the drums on the mountain were loud, and the ambush soldiers in the mountains on both sides came out, Guan Ping on the left and Zhou Cang on the right, cut off the Cao army, and suddenly the formation was chaotic.

Guan Yu turned the horse's head, stroked his beard and laughed: "Xu Gongming, you still don't surrender?" ”

Xu Huang was shocked and ordered the soldiers to retreat in formation, but the red rabbit horse was extremely fast, and Guan Yu rushed straight into the chaos with his sword, killing several people in an instant.

Yin was chasing happily, and the ambush soldiers were not yet conscious, and when they realized that something was wrong, Guan Yu had already led the troops to counterattack and hurriedly retreated backwards, but they were crowded by the chaotic army and couldn't move.

Guan Yu slapped the horse and killed, and the Qinglong knife stabbed obliquely, Yin Wei couldn't even resist it, and saw the cold light coming, and shouted in despair: "General Xu saves ......"

Before the words fell, he was beheaded by Guan Yu with a knife, and Cao Jun fled in panic, stampeding and injuring countless deaths.

Xu Huang didn't want to be humiliated by being captured, so he led his own soldiers to fight to kill the ambush and fled the way he came, Zhu Gai followed, but was stopped by Guan Ping.

"General Xu, save me, save me......" Guan Yu had already come from behind him, and Zhu Gai shouted with a crying voice.

Under the tremendous pressure, the weapons were unstable, and he barely resisted Sanhe, and was slashed by Guan Ping under the horse.

Cao's army was defeated, Guan Yu turned back with his whole army, and it was Cao Xiu who surrounded the south gate.

Xu Huang was embarrassed and retreated just now, and he was wondering in his heart, when he suddenly saw Guan Yu leading the troops chasing after him, he gasped, and Cao Jun was also in a commotion.

"Hahaha, you wait for the dog thief, and you still want to capture me?" At the same time, the south gate opened, and Zhang Fei led the troops out.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Cao Xiu did not hesitate at all, and rode south.

Cao's army scattered and fled, Zhang Fei left the city almost without hindrance, joined forces with Guan Yu, and the two brothers slowly retreated backwards.

Xu Huang was defeated and pleaded guilty, but Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't do public affairs, everything is expected by me." ”

Xu Huang was stunned, Xun You said: "This is the plan of the former prime minister to defeat Zhang Xiu, Liu Qi calmly retreated, he must be prepared, and then chase the enemy at this time to win." ”

Xu Huang sighed secretly, daring to feel that he was going to the trap, and silently retreated to the rear army to rest.

He didn't know that Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and if there were no ambushes in front of him, he would be suspicious and suspect that Liu Qi's withdrawal of troops was fraudulent.

Now that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have broken together, it can be seen that Liu Qi really retreated, and all the doubts in his heart were gone.

Xiahoudun shone brightly with one eye, and clenched his fists and said: "Prime Minister, it's time for me to wait for hatred!" ”

"Watch out for an ambush ahead!" Cao Cao admonished, dialed Xiahoudun 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao Xiu and Han Hao then responded and killed Wancheng.

Thick smoke rose in Bowang City, Zhang Fei set fire to the three gates when he left, and Lejin entered the city from the south gate, and sent troops to extinguish the fire and open the city to meet the army.

"Liu Qi, look where you are running this time!"

Cao Cao smiled coldly, led the troops into the city, passed the horses to rest, transported grain and grass, and entered Nanyang in one go tomorrow.

Xiahoudun was eager for revenge, ordered Li Tong to be the front team, urged the horses to chase all the way, and came to a dangerous fork in the road, but the valley was burned to the scorched earth and covered with ashes.

Xiahou said with a smile: "This must be the place where Lejin robs grain, so that Liu Qi can't ambush the soldiers, and God really helps me!" ”

The men and horses continued to move forward, and suddenly saw Li Tong's front army stopped, and Xiahou hurriedly urged the horse forward and asked, "What happened?" ”

Li Tong pointed to the front and said: "The scouts just discovered that there are flags fluttering in the forest ahead, and I am afraid that there are ambushes!" ”

Xiahoudun's eyes were slightly astringent, and he ordered Li Tong to continue to move forward, and he pressed the formation in the center, and Xiahoulan then responded, and the men and horses formed a formation and moved forward cautiously.
