In the evening, the two armies rested and then fought again.
Guan Yu took the lead in fighting, and the red rabbit horse rushed straight into the military formation like a ball of flames. He was guarded by two generals, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, followed by five hundred swordsmen from the school.
When Cao Ren saw Guan Yu coming to kill him, he was secretly happy. He personally lured the enemy in the formation and shouted: "Guan Yunchang, come and die quickly!"
Guan Yu snorted slightly on his horse and urged his horse to pursue him. Cao Ren went north and entered the formation. The soldiers immediately prepared their swords and spears. When they looked back, Guan Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Just when he was doubting himself, he heard screams coming from the northwest. The formation there was in chaos, and the soldiers were killed by Guan Yu, turning them into a mess.
Cao Ren was shocked and rushed to the southeast corner to replenish the remaining formation. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu also attacked and killed him. In an instant, he dispersed the formation and paralyzed half of it, causing complete chaos.
"Hahaha, Cao Ren, you are so vulnerable to breaking the formation, why don't you just surrender?"
When Cao Ren was yelling at the soldiers in panic, he heard a loud shout behind him, but it was Zhang Fei who led the troops in pursuit.
At this time, the formation was in chaos, and the men and horses were defeated. Cao Ren knew that he was no match for Zhang Fei, and he heard the sound of drums all around. He had no time to withdraw his troops and return to camp, so he turned his horse and fled.
The Cao army in formation was clashed with Guan Yu alone, leading five hundred troops. They were like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep. Guan Yu took the lead. Wherever he waved his sword, there was a cold light, and stumps and broken arms flew into the air, and blood sprayed.
These 500 swordsmen are Guan Yu's personal soldiers. They are basically Guanxi men. They are all tall and brave in battle. They are the followers of these people when they fight in Changsha, Huarong Road, and go to meetings alone. They are even more invincible when following Guan Yu.
In Cao's camp, Chen Dao on the left and Hu Ji on the right came out from ambush. There was no one in the camp to dispatch them. Under the sudden impact, Cao's soldiers were in chaos and scrambled to escape.
In this battle, the sound of killing was so loud that Liu Qi's blood boiled with excitement on the horse, and he couldn't help but want to rush in and fight in a bloody battle, but his body was not strong enough, so he could only wait and watch.
In the chaos of war, human life is like a piece of grass, worthless at all. What is justice and despicability, survival is the last word.
Especially Guan Yu's unit, it was like a harvester breaking into the rice fields. Wherever it passed, people were turned upside down, leaving corpses everywhere.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" After several conflicts, Guan Yu rode up to a high platform, raised his Green Dragon Sword and shouted.
The red rabbits and horses stood up, their robes flying, their long beards flowing, and Guan Yu, covered in blood, looked like a god of war, with a terrifying momentum.
Cao Jun was completely frightened. When he heard the shouts, he threw down his weapons and knelt down without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, a large area of the battlefield fell to their knees.
Xu Shu reminded Liu Qi, who was still in shock: "General, it's time to clean up the battlefield."
Liu Qi reacted and immediately ordered his soldiers to come forward to take the prisoners into custody, while Guan Yu led his troops to continue to kill Cao Ying.
At this time, Cao Ren fled towards the river with thousands of remaining soldiers, followed closely by Zhang Fei, followed by only a dozen cavalry, like wolves chasing sheep.
Along the way, no one dared to stop the lagging Cao soldiers, and they all moved to both sides of the road to avoid them.
"Cao Ren, please leave!" Zhang Fei only had Cao Ren in his eyes and pursued him closely.
Cao Ren was so frightened that he slapped his horse and ran wildly until he reached the Baihe River, but there was no ferry. He shouted at his soldiers to find a boat to cross the river.
By this time, the sun had set and night had fallen. Cao Jun gathered around the river and got into a mess, huddled together and made a lot of noise.
Cao Ren looked behind him nervously, fearing that Zhang Fei would chase him. At this moment, a group of cavalrymen arrived from upstream. The leader was Zhao Yun, a general with white horses and white robes.
"Hurry and prepare the ship!" Cao Ren roared and hurriedly scolded the soldiers for hastily forming formations to resist Zhao Yun.
These followers are also Cao Ren's elite soldiers, well-trained on weekdays. More than a thousand people quickly formed a square formation, with shields in front and bows and arrows in the back, all firing at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's spear flew up and down, dancing like a wheel, sweeping away arrows. The white dragon horse jumped up and arrived in front of the phalanx.
boom--
There was a muffled sound, and when the horse's hooves hit the ground, the bright silver spear swept over. The shield soldiers in the front row screamed and fell backwards, and countless shields shattered and flew into the air.
The cavalry followed closely, flowing over like a torrent of steel. The front line was washed away, and the archers behind were helpless, like a collapsed river embankment, flowing down thousands of miles.
"Child Cao Ren, go back on your word!" At this moment, Zhang Fei also rode up to him and roared: "Stop leaving!"
Cao Ren looked panicked on his horse. Zhao Yun had already broken through from the north, and Zhang Fei was coming from behind. The river blocked his way. It was a narrow escape.
"Cao Ren, you capricious villain, take a spear from me!"
Zhang Fei spurred his horse to gallop, raised his snake spear eight feet high, and stabbed him from afar.
Cao Ren swallowed his saliva and shouted: "I said that it is difficult to catch up with a horse. Who told you to chase me on horseback? I will take the first step!"
In a hurry, he didn't care much, so he turned the horse's head and urged the horse to jump into the river.
"Wait!" Zhang Fei hurriedly reined in his horse and waved to dissuade him: "I won't kill you, so don't jump!"
Cao Ren snorted coldly: "Cao will never be a prisoner of his rank!"
"Don't jump, the river water is cold..."
Before Zhang Fei finished speaking, Cao Ren urged his horse to leap straight into the White River.
There was a splash, and water splashed several feet high. Cao Ren and his horse were caught in the waves, grabbed his mount and swam to the other side.
At this time, only Cao Ren's personal soldiers were fighting to the death on the shore, but they could not stop Zhao Yun's attack. Most of Cao Ren's soldiers jumped into the river in desperation.
Zhang Fei was furious. He rode his horse to the river and swept a group of Cao soldiers into the river with his snake spears. He shouted, "Zhang Fei from Yan is here. I will not kill anyone who surrenders!"
Unable to capture Cao Ren, he had no choice but to capture his soldiers and take the prisoners back to report.
With the help of several soldiers, Cao Ren swam across the other side in embarrassment. He was soaked and his armor weighed a thousand kilograms. He took it off and threw it on the shore. He fled to Fancheng with dozens of remaining soldiers.
After killing the resisting Cao army, Zhao Yuncai ordered people to move the boats to the distant woods, led the troops across the river, and followed closely towards Fancheng, while Zhang Fei escorted the prisoners back to the camp.
Cao Ren fled to Fancheng in embarrassment. It was already dark, so he called people to enter the city.
The county magistrate Liu Qin came to greet him. When he saw Cao Ren with disheveled hair and mud all over his body, he was shocked and asked, "Why are you here, general?"
Cao Ren lowered his head and sighed: "I fell into Liu Qi's evil plan by mistake."
Liu Qin's expression changed again, and he hurriedly ordered people to send Cao Ren to the government office to wash up, and arranged the accompanying soldiers to the military camp.
At this time, Cao Ren's ears were still ringing with the sound of fighting. He came to the backyard in a daze and saw that hot water had been heated in the room. Without suspecting that he was there, he took off his coat and got into the barrel.
Just after soaking in the hot water and closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he saw the door of the room being pushed open and three or five burly men came in.
Cao Ren was shocked and roared: "Who is bold?"
The person in charge stood with his legs crossed, crossed his arms and touched his stubble, brushed over Cao Ren's muscular body, nodded and said with a smile: "You are indeed worthy of being Cao Cao's trusted general, he has a good figure."
"What do you want?" Cao Ren hugged his chest suddenly, shrank into the barrel, and shouted: "Come here!"
The man said with a joking smile: "No matter how you scream, no one will answer you even if your throat is broken!"
"Who are you?" Cao Ren had never been so desperate before, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Liu Qin, Liu Qin——"
