Soldiers come to the world

At the same time as the fierce battle broke out in Xinye City, the battle at the mouth of the Bishui River in the south was also imminent. More than 250 ferries loaded with more than [-] Cao soldiers slowly came from the north, and the leader was the general Cao Hong.

Holding an iron gun in his hand, Cao Hong squatted on the bow of the first ferry, watching the situation on both sides of the river vigilantly. It was much quieter than the two sides of the water, covered with shrubs and grass, and even the sound of insects seemed to disappear. The rhythmic sound of wooden oars paddling in the water.

Although this kind of quietness is a normal phenomenon, Cao Hong still felt a little uneasy, and he didn't know why he felt this uneasy feeling, but at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it carefully, and the ferry had arrived at its destination.

"Look, General, Fort Dunse!" A soldier pointed to the distance and shouted in a low voice.

Cao Hong also saw a dark castle standing hundreds of steps away in the gray night sky. At this time, the ferry slowly approached the shore, and a spy from the Cao army who was hiding in the bushes on the shore suddenly came out and took the boat on board. Cao Jun's soldiers were startled, and raised their bows and crossbows to point at the shadow on the bank, shouting and asking, "Password!"

"Night Owl!"

This is the action command tonight, and everyone let go, Cao Hong asked: "How is the situation of the enemy's camp?"

"General Qi, it's very quiet, everything is normal!"

Cao Hong looked back and saw that all the ferries had docked, so he immediately ordered, "Go ashore and assemble!"

A soldier beside him lit a torch, stretched out the side of the boat and shook it, hundreds of ferry boats behind all saw the signal of the fire, soldiers of Cao Jun abandoned the boat and landed one after another, groups of figures swayed, and moved quickly in the narrow and long open space. assemble.

Cao Hong kept staring at the castle, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, but he didn't know where the problem was?

At this time, Li Dian, the deputy general, rushed to report, "General, the team has assembled!"

Cao Hong hesitated, and asked Li Dian, "General Li, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Li Dian pondered and said, "I just feel that it's too quiet. It's a bit weird that I haven't been noticed by the patrol. Apart from that, I didn't find any other abnormalities."

Cao Hong had already discovered this, but it was normal to be quiet. Wenpin's patrol should be in the north, and he didn't expect the enemy to attack from the waterway.

"Time can't be delayed any longer, leave 500 people to watch the ship, and the rest of the army will set off immediately!"

Cao Hong didn't hesitate anymore, he urged his horses to go, and a group of Cao troops left the river bank, and followed him to quickly kill the enemy's camp.

The camp of the Wenpin Army was about one mile away from the river, and it was necessary to pass through a long and narrow forest. Cao Jun passed through the forest, and Cao Hong saw the camp not far away at a glance. It was only two hundred steps away, surrounded by tall camp fences. , which appears to have ditches and spear stabs in front.

"Take five hundred brothers to open a road!" Cao Hong turned around and ordered Li Dian.

"As ordered!"

Li Dian nodded, waved his hand, and led [-] soldiers towards the enemy camp. The task of these [-] soldiers was to fill up a trench, pull out spears and pull down several rows of camp fences, so as to prepare for the army to enter the enemy camp.

Li Dian led five hundred soldiers and rushed all the way. He rushed to the barracks in a short while, and quickly put the wooden planks on the trench, and soldiers began to pull out dense spears.

Cao Hong was watching the actions of hundreds of soldiers, and his heart was about to jump out of his nerves. At this moment, a tooth general ran to his side and said in a low voice, "General, something is wrong! Why is there no movement from the enemy?"

Cao Hong was taken aback, something was wrong, and he couldn't help but look towards the castle. The pale moonlight shone on the dark castle, which was quite strange.

Cao Hong suddenly realized that something was wrong with him just now. It turned out that there was no soul-calling flag on the castle, not even a white flag. Liu Biao died only two or three days ago. How could there be no flags on the top of the city? Either it was an empty city, or There is an ambush.

He was shocked in his heart, and quickly ordered: "Let them come back and retreat immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, a soldier pointed at the castle and shouted: "General, the beacon fire on the top of the city is lit."

At the highest point of the castle, three pillars of fire rose into the sky. This was obviously a signal. There was a loud shout of killing from the north and west. Cao Hong was taken aback, and ignored Li Dian. Boat!"

Cao Jun was in chaos, turned around and ran towards the river bank, pushing each other. Many people were pushed down and trampled.

Cao Jun's team slowed down a bit and rushed all the way to board the boat. Just as most of the soldiers boarded the boat, there was a sound of clappers on the other side, followed by random arrows. Suddenly, Cao Jun was caught off guard and was shot one after another, screaming and falling into the water.

Even Cao Hong was shot in the left arm by a stray arrow, and he shouted anxiously, "The shield holds up, and the boat will go north immediately!"

At this time, Cao Hong already understood that they were in an ambush, and he didn't know how many enemy troops were around. This fear of ignorance made Cao Hong flustered for a while.

But Cao Hong has rich experience after all. In this situation, he must judge the situation and find the weak point of the opponent. He knew in his heart that the shore was no longer safe, the enemy had no boats, and the only safe place was in the river. This was the weak point of the opponent. The top priority is to leave the river mouth and go north.

Cao Jun put his shields on both sides of the ship's sides, forming a shield wall on the left and right sides. He was barely safe. The ferry left the bank and entered the river, and began to return to the way it came.

But after walking less than half a mile, there was a noise in front of them, and a fire was burning rapidly on the water. The first few ships were engulfed by the fire, and the soldiers jumped into the water to escape.

Cao Hong could see clearly from behind, he gritted his teeth with hatred, he forgot that the other party had kerosene, and blocked the water surface with fire.

"Turn around! Enter Hanshui!"

Cao Hong shouted loudly, this place is only one mile away from the Han River, and hiding in Hanzhong is their last way of survival.

But when they were less than a hundred steps away from the Han River, a huge warship suddenly appeared in front of them. Cao Jun on the ferry screamed, and Cao Hong was dumbfounded, his heart was blank. Didn't all the warships of Jiangxia Army withdraw, why did it appear again? ?

The giant ship of two thousand stone cut through the waves and slammed into Cao Hong's ferry. Amidst the screams, the big ship slammed into the ferry, and the ferry was smashed to pieces.

At this time, warships came one after another, and hundreds of warships appeared at the mouth of the Bishui River. They split into two groups and sailed from both sides of more than two hundred ferryboats. The tactics were obvious, and soon formed a huge The oval encirclement encloses more than two hundred ferries in the middle.

At this time, a large group of soldiers also appeared on both sides of the strait, with 5000 on each side. This was the army deployed by Wenpin. The warships and soldiers on the shore seemed to have cast a net. Cao Jun could not escape. They had no choice but to surrender.

The fierce battle did not break out in the end, and there was no dramatic turning point. Three hundred huge warships besieged the city with iron walls, and Cao Jun soldiers on more than two hundred ferries in the middle could not fly. took them.

Liu Jing stood on the bow of the main ship and shouted sharply to the Cao Jun boats in the river: "I am Jiangxia Liu Jing. You have no way out. You can surrender. If you dare to resist again, I will not let you go. Hanshui is yours." The place of death!"

Cao Hong fell into the water and did not know where he was. Li Dian, the lieutenant, was the only one in the ferry. Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at him. Li Dian sighed, "Give me my order. Brothers, put down your weapons and surrender!"

More than [-] Cao soldiers put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

At the mouth of the river, Cao Hong paddled desperately in the water. He wanted to swim into the Han River, but his water skills were not good. He was exhausted after swimming more than [-] steps. When he reached the shore, Cao Hong was so frightened that he gulped water and yelled desperately, "Help! Save my life!"

It was also because he deserved to die. At this time, a patrol ship of the Jiangxia Army spotted him and approached slowly. There were already more than ten Jiangxia soldiers waiting on board. Cao Hong shouted: "I am the chief general, spare my life!"

The soldiers were overjoyed, hooked him with hooks, hurriedly dragged Cao Hong onto the boat, and tied him up with ropes

According to Mao Jie's false and true plan, Cao Hong's attack on the Wenpin army camp should be a false attack, and the purpose was to attract the Jiangxia defender in Fancheng to rescue Wenpin.

It should be said that Mao Jie thought very carefully. Wenpin had just surrendered to Liu Jing. If he was in danger and asked for help, Fancheng would definitely send troops to rescue Wenpin. There is no problem in theory.

So Cao Ren led [-] cavalry in ambush in a dense forest halfway, with an open official road ahead. Once the reinforcements arrived, the [-] cavalry rushed out and wiped out Jiang Xia's army. Then the cavalry turned around and attacked Wenpin's army. No matter how elite it is, it is difficult to face the enemy, and it must be the fate of defeat in the end.

For this reason, Cao Ren has made careful arrangements. If the enemy army is not prepared, ten times they will fall into a trap. At this time, Cao Ren is full of expectations. If this battle is won, the entire Jingzhou will be defeated.

However, as time went by, Cao Ren's confidence also gradually decreased. In the woods, three thousand cavalry had been waiting for nearly an hour, and the horses and soldiers were a little impatient. Voices.

"Master Bo, there won't be any accidents!" Cao Ren asked Mao Jie beside him in a low voice.

Mao Jie bit his lip, and there was a kind of unconcealable anxiety in his eyes. The beacon fire in Dengsai city was lit for half an hour, but there was still no movement in Fancheng. This has exceeded his psychological time limit, and he secretly felt that something was wrong. .

"Wait a little longer!" Mao Jie whispered, his tone was already unconfident, and Cao Ren clearly felt his wavering.

Cao Ren frowned, and looked to the east, wondering how the battle in Dunsai City was tens of miles away?

At this moment, a scout from Cao Jun galloped up on horseback and shouted from afar: "General, something is wrong!"

Cao Ren's heart was suddenly suspended. What is the big deal wrong? He immediately went up to meet him and asked, "How is the situation at Bishui?"

The scout panted and said: "Hundreds of warships from the Jiang Xia Army appeared and surrounded General Cao. Our army has... been wiped out."

The last sentence was like thunder, Cao Ren seemed to be stunned, he didn't react for a while, Mao Jie's face turned pale instantly, Liu Jing didn't leave at all, they fell into the trap set by the other party.

Cao Ren sighed, turned around and asked Mao Jie, "Master Bo, what should we do?"

Mao Jie said in a trembling voice: "Quickly retreat!"

Cao Ren stabilized his mind and ordered: "The whole army retreats to the north! Quickly retreat to Xinye."
