Cao Cao said with a smile: "I don't laugh at others, I just laugh at Xu Shu without a plan, Zhuge Liang is less wise, and Liu Qi doesn't know how to use soldiers." If we burn grain and grass, but do not send troops to attack ...... victory, we miss the opportunity, if we ambush an army here?"

Before the words fell, suddenly the drums on the hillside were loud, and countless torches were lit, blocking the mouth of the valley, which made Cao Cao stunned and almost fell off his horse.

I saw a horizontal spear immediately, like a King Kong, and the urn shouted: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, where is the Cao thief!" ”

Xu Chu raised his knife and shouted: "The prime minister comes with so!" ”

With a heavy shout, Xu Chu led the three thousand ironclad troops to rush forward, like a torrent of steel, and the momentum was terrifying.

Although Zhang Fei was not afraid of Xu Chu, these ironclad soldiers were not easy to deal with, separating the soldiers from both sides, raising their spears and staring at Cao Cao.

Xu Chu was worried that Cao Cao was attacked by Zhang Fei, so he ordered the soldiers to rush forward to kill and open the way, urging the horses to fight Zhang Fei, and the two fought on the grass beside the road, and Cao Chun protected Cao Cao forward.

The soldiers on the mountain fired arrows in unison, and although the ironclad army could walk safely, they could not go up the mountain to kill the enemy, but the Cao army behind suffered countless injuries.

Cao Cao lay on horseback, the tiger and leopard rode up the shield to cover, and advanced towards the mouth of the valley, suddenly the sound of killing sounded on both sides, and there were ambush soldiers from behind the hillside, outflanking from behind.

"Protect the Prime Minister and go first!" Cao Chun roared loudly and led the five hundred troops to break off.

Although the tiger and leopard cavalry were not as invulnerable as the ironclad army, they were well-equipped and full of combat power, and Cao Chun blocked the pursuers and protected Cao Cao's retreat into the valley.

"Zhongkang, retreat!" Cao Chun urged Ma to help Xu Chu, and the two worked together to force Zhang Fei back, and fought and left.

Zhang Fei waved his troops to chase and kill, Cao Bing suffered countless casualties, the elite had retreated into the valley, and the fire flickered in the distance, and he did not dare to rush deeper.

Leaving the 500 troops to set fire to the mouth of the valley and bluff, Zhang Fei led his troops straight to the Cao army camp and launched a surprise attack from behind.

At this time, on both sides of the White River, the torches stretched for nearly ten miles, illuminating the river surface as bright as day, and the corpses in the river were piled up like a mountain, blocking the river, and Cao's army was launching a fierce attack.

Cheng Yu had a premeditated plan, brought out all the wood and equipment in the camp, first ordered the Hebei army to charge, and then ordered the army to forcibly cross the river.

The Chinese army is the elite of Cao's army, let them brave the arrows to rush into battle, and the rest of the departments have no complaints, and they all strive forward.

The other Cao Jun didn't know that the elites of these charges were the soldiers who killed people during the day, and Cheng Yu ordered them to rush first, not only to consume the elites, but also to kill people, and completely cover up the matter.

After several strong attacks, 50,000 or 60,000 Cao troops poured into the river, plus many sandbags, wooden stakes, etc., finally blocked the White River, and Cao Jun crossed the river with the corpses of his companions.

At this time, Cao Jun had completely killed the red eyes, everyone was like a mad beast, only the enemy in front of him, burying his head in the kill, once he stopped, he was trampled to death by his companions behind him.

The Jingzhou army defending on the opposite bank did not fight hard with them, and when Cao's army rushed across the riverbank, all camps quickly retreated.

The morale of Cao's army increased greatly, and as soon as he crossed the river, he chased and killed all over the mountains, and under the hazy moonlight, he saw a black shadow crossing the hills, like a flood peak crossing.

Cheng Yu stood at the head of the only stone bridge, and the corpses on the bridge were trampled into flesh and mud, a thick layer of bones, and the smell was unpleasant.

But he was unmoved, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back, this time the whole army desperately rushed to kill, it can be described as a strong man breaking his wrist, not only consuming excess troops, but also storming Wancheng, how to win or lose, all by the will of heaven.

Zhang He, Gao Lan, Zhai Yuan, Lu Chang, and Han Hao dispatched the five-way army at the same time, and finally forced the Jingzhou army to retreat, and the preliminary plan was successfully completed.

Cao Xiu was also excited at this time: "Although tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, if Liu Qi could be besieged in Wancheng, this battle would be worth it." ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said: "As the saying goes: one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither." Most of these soldiers are in the army for food, both eat Wang Lu, should repay the king's grace, if this battle is defeated and won, they will also die well! ”

"General, look!" Suddenly, the soldiers pointed in the direction of Bowangpo and exclaimed.

When the two turned back, they saw that the fire was raging to the sky, burning the entire mouth of the valley.

"It's not good, Bowangpo has ambushes to intercept the prime minister." Cao Xiu was shocked and said that he was going to send troops to respond.

Cheng Yu said: "The general is calm and don't be impatient, the prime minister is escorted by the ironclad army and the tiger and leopard cavalry, and he will be able to pass safely." When I replied this morning, I had asked General Cao Hong to send troops to respond, and Dong Heng and Dong Chao had already stationed troops in the dangerous place of Bowangpo, so they could ......"

Before the words fell, I saw the flames in the direction of the Chinese army, and I vaguely heard the sound of drums.

"Not good!" Cheng Yu was shocked: "After Liu Qi wanted to attack me, the general quickly went to respond." ”

Although there was nothing left in the battalion, the attack on the old battalion would affect the morale of the army, and Cao Xiu hurriedly led the troops to support.

Cheng Yu stood by the river and hesitated for a moment, and finally led his soldiers to cross the river and rushed to Wancheng.

At this time, the five-way Cao army had already killed Wancheng, and the defenders of the city had already been in full array, pulling the suspension bridge high, the crossbowmen opened their bows and arrows, and the moat was turbulent.

As an important town in Nanyang, Wancheng occupies a favorable geographical position, even stronger than Xiangyang, and leads the Baihe River as a moat, the city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

When Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, he was also helpless against this fortified city, and later it was repaired by Cao Ren himself, which was impregnable.

Cao's army surrounded Wancheng, but looking at the tall and sturdy city, he could only watch, like a wolf pack encountering a hedgehog, with nowhere to claw.

Zhang He consulted with the generals, trapped Liu Qi in the city, divided the troops to guard one gate, and waited for Cao Xiu to decide, if he wanted to break the city, he could only reallocate the army.

When the discussion was being made, Cheng Yu led the troops to arrive, at this time the east was already bright, and the Cao army had lost most of its spirit after a fight, but the soldiers were still in the city, and their morale was still there.

Zhang He said: "Wancheng is dangerous, we are lightly armed, we are unable to attack the city, it is better to divide the troops to take the surrounding cities, Liu Qi is trapped in the city alone, sooner or later he will die." ”

Cheng Yu looked at the heavily armed defenders in the city, with a solemn expression, and saw that the Cao army did not take advantage of the situation to enter the city.

fell short, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart, God really didn't help Cao Gong!

The prerequisite that Zhang He said was that there should be enough food and grass first, but he didn't know that last night was Cao Jun's dinner, and ninety percent of it was human flesh.

In order to forcibly cross the White River, all the arrows and equipment were also used up, and now all the reserves of the Cao army are what they have.

Just now there was an ambush army attacking the camp, I don't know if Cao Xiu can stop it, although the existence of the camp has nothing to do with success or failure, but once the news comes, the army will be in turmoil.

The sun was shining in the east, and the morning sun was about to rise, but Cheng Yu's heart was full of gloom, trying his best to calm himself down and think about how to retreat.

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared on the head of the city, shouting: "Cheng Yu old thief, you are cruel to the people, indiscriminately killing innocents, using human flesh as military food, you are simply mad!" ”

Cheng Yu's heart sank, looked up, and saw that the person was so popular, it was expected to be Liu Qi, and said lightly: "Liu Qi, you have become a turtle in the urn, don't want to use words to confuse and confuse our army's heart." ”

"Lao Er still dares to be hard-mouthed?" Liu Qi made a move, and a string of bloody human heads hung up on the city, "Look at what this is?" ”
