Chapter 184: Unexpected

Cao Cao didn't expect that Wu Jun would take such a big risk and drive the fireboat directly into the water village.

It turned out that there was a kind of sub-mother ship in the Soochow naval army, and there were small boats hidden under the big ships, and the big ships were loaded with fire-starters, and there were iron cone barbs at the front end, which were connected once they collided with the enemy ships.

There are sailors hidden in the small boat, and the fuse is lit, and the big ship is burned, and then it can be separated from the belly of the ship and leave the battlefield lightly.

Cao's ships were connected together, and there was no time to evacuate, and once the warships collided together, they burned together, and there was no time to rescue each other.

In addition, there is the grass boat used by Liu Qi last time, there is a big boat pushing behind, and the fire directly hits the boat with grass into the water village, the fireball rolls, and Cao Jun has no chance to rush to the shore, so he can only retreat.

Everyone retreated to the rear camp and scrambled to get on the pontoon bridge, but at this time, Lejin reinforcements arrived and were urging the horses to come.

The cavalry led by Le Jin were all Xianbei soldiers and horses, they had always fought separately, the training time was short, and they had not fully obeyed the orders, coupled with the shaking of the boats, the flames were flying, and they were shocked to collide everywhere, and many people fell into the water.

Xu Chu led the ironclad army to open the way ahead, forcibly crashed into a passage, and escorted Cao Cao onto the pontoon bridge, and Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard riders to protect him.

At this time, the morning wind suddenly rose, blowing from the river to the canyon, the fog and smoke rolled in one place, and the figure of the person could not be seen clearly.

In the violent crash, the whole pontoon bridge was shaking, and the Xianbei cavalry became more and more nervous, they had never seen such a deep river on the grassland, and they were completely panicked, some forward, some backward, crowded and trampled on each other, and there were countless casualties.

"Get out of the way!" Xu Chu saw that the big ship was also on fire, so he got off his horse with a roar, took off his armor, and strode forward with a big knife to open the way.

Cao Cao, under the protection of his own soldiers, stumbled on the bridge, and saw that the water village had formed a sea of fire, the river wind blew away the dense fog, and the Dongwu fleet was coming slowly.

On a tall building ship in the center, Zhou Yu's banner was waving in the wind, and the whole Wu army was dispatched to seize the camp.

Boom –

At this moment, there was a muffled sound in front of him, and the big boat was knocked over, lying across the water, stirring the entire pontoon bridge violently, and Cao Jun and his men and horses rolled and fell.

Cao Cao desperately grabbed an iron chain and shouted, "Help me, save me!" ”

Xiahoudun hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Cao Cao by the waist, and put him on a wooden plank, but the Wu army fleet was still ramming, and the two big ships in the middle caught fire and cut off the way.

Xu Chu rushed to the front with smoke and fire, but the conflict was not successful, so he had to turn around and come back, and hummed: "Prime Minister, the pontoon bridge has been broken, return to the water village quickly." ”

Cao Cao was in a hurry, turning back was a dead end, and when everyone was anxious, they saw Cao Xiu coming from the upstream in a boat and shouted loudly.

It turned out that after Cao Xiu was attacked, he immediately brought a naval army to the upper reaches and prepared to ambush the Wu soldiers by taking advantage of the fog.

Everyone jumped into the boat with Cao Cao, Xiahoudun, Xu Chu and others also boarded the boat one after another, and some soldiers saw this, and they all jumped to the boat, lying on the side of the boat like ants.

The two boats were overturned in a blink of an eye, and Xu Chu saw that many people on the boat also jumped off, waved their big knives, and hacked the soldiers lying on the side of the boat to death.

Xiahoudun grabbed an oar and lifted the jumping soldier into the air, and Cao Xiu ordered to row the boat immediately, get away from the pontoon bridge as soon as possible, and go to the West Mountain.

Le Jin led his troops to rush into the water village, but he didn't want to put himself in danger, so he finally escorted Cao Cao to retreat, but the cavalry couldn't get out.

In the chaos, seeing Xun Yu and a few people coming in embarrassment, he hurriedly said: "The pontoon bridge was broken, and the prime minister left by boat, what should we do?" ”

Xun You said: "There is a path in the back mountain, and General Cao Ren is coming to meet him, so he can abandon his horse and enter the mountain and meet eastward." ”

Le Jin immediately dismounted, beckoned his cronies and entourage, and protected Xun You and others up the mountain, the Cao army in the camp had become a pot of porridge, and there was no way to dispatch it.

Those Xianbei soldiers saw that Le Jin gave up their mounts, one by one they were very hesitant, they got off the horse and walked with Luo Lap legs, and they had a deep relationship with the mount, they couldn't bear to give up, and scolded Cao Jun for not being righteous.

When he first came to the Central Plains, Cao Cao promised to be good, rewarded for meritorious service, and entertained with wine and beauty, but now it is good, in addition to being trained all day long, he left without even saying hello at the moment of crisis.

Cao Cao took a chain of three boats, far away from the battlefield, and saw a fire burning on the pontoon bridge, and the sound of killing in the village shook the sky, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

Xiahou was stunned and said, "Why is the prime minister laughing? ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "I laugh at Zhou Yu for having no plan, Liu Qi is less wise, for the sake of the water village, but I don't know that I have already arranged, Zixiao has marched along the river to take the Jiangdong camp, quickly to the west camp to gather soldiers and horses, around the mountain road to attack the rear. ”

Cao Xiu ordered people to row a boat to the shore, and when he reached the shore, suddenly a drum sounded, and arrows were fired in unison, and the sailors who went ashore in front fell to the ground one after another, and countless arrows flew onto the bow of the ship.

Xu Chu hurriedly stood up, danced his big knife to block the arrows, and roared angrily: "Who is bold enough to dare to fire arrows at the prime minister?" ”

"Hahaha, Cao thief, we have been taking Qibao Mountain for a long time, and we are not ready to arrest it?"

In the midst of laughter, a general stood up from behind the tree, it was Liu Pan, and ordered the archers to aim at Cao Cao's ship and shoot.

"It's Liu Qi again!" Cao Cao was furious.

Xizhai is all cavalry baggage, that is his foundation, so he is not distressed when he loses the water village, but at this time, the Qibaoshan village was broken, and he lost the power to resist.

More than a dozen of his own soldiers were killed by random arrows, Xu Chu was also hit by a few arrows, and the boat reached the center of the river, and the Jingzhou soldiers stood helplessly on the shore.

Cao Cao escaped again, and when he saw the Jingzhou soldiers chasing along the river, he stood at the bow of the boat with his waist crossed, and laughed: "Liu Qixiaoer, have you ever thought that this serial boat even I, Cao Mengde, am also walking on the ground, and I have the ability to chase me, haha...... Uh-"

The laughter continued, and suddenly an arrow flew like a meteor, screaming and falling on his back.

Cao Chun was shocked, rushed up to protect Cao Cao, and saw that the arrow was hitting the front teeth, so he hurriedly carried him back to the cabin.

Cao Cao sat up suddenly, bared his teeth and shouted, "Dog life is roaring (my life is in ......)"

Xia Houen drew his sword and cut off the arrow, took out the arrow, and Cao Cao's front teeth exposed a large hole, and the blood flowed endlessly.

Cao Chun brought water to rinse his mouth, and everyone was so frightened that they sat on the ground, if they hadn't looked up to the sky and laughed just now, this arrow hit the center of the eyebrows, and the consequences were unimaginable.

After Cao Cao rinsed his mouth, he only felt that his gums were slightly painful, and everything else was fine, so he wiped a cold sweat, "Who hurt people with a secret arrow just now?" ”

Cao Chun sighed: "It's that veteran Huang Zhong!" ”

The last time Huang Zhong shot Xu Chu's mount in the eye, everyone remembered it vividly, and today another arrow almost killed Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said angrily: "Guan Zhang and the two of them, both can take the head of the general among the ten thousand troops, this Jingzhou veteran, the arrow is exquisite, hundreds of steps away an arrow hurts people, why are all strange people used by Liu Qi?" ”

Just when he was sentimental, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of copper bells outside, and one person shouted: "Cao thief is leaving, Gan Xingba is coming!" ”
