Cao Ren and Cao Hong led the team, each on a boat. The expressions on their faces were extremely excited. Now the two of them took the boat and rushed forward, speeding towards the hill where Lu Xuan was stationed in the south.
"Hurry up, faster."
Cao Ren couldn't wait to give the order.
However, after his order was given, because many soldiers around him were not very familiar with rowing, even if many soldiers rowed quickly, because they did not reach a unified frequency and rowed randomly one by one, the boat slowed down and was not as fast as before.
"Trash, a bunch of trash."
Cao Ren looked around and couldn't help but yelled loudly.
He held a long gun in the boat and no longer ordered to speed up, but just let the soldiers row on their own. It was only a few miles from the county seat to the hill where Lu Xuan was stationed, but because Cao Cao and Liu Bei's soldiers were not very familiar with rowing, they were delayed for a while, and it took more than two-quarters of an hour to get close.
This speed is slower than riding a horse.
Cao Ren saw the hills in the distance and the big flags standing on the hills, and he grinned.
finally reached.
Cao Ren saw many people on the hill, because this was the top of the hill and had not yet been flooded. But below the hill, there are already some ships to accommodate soldiers.
This situation was all expected.
Cao Ren became excited, raised the spear in his hand, and said loudly: "Rush over and kill Lu Xuan's soldiers. Lu Xuan still has a large number of soldiers nearby. They all spread out and kill Lu Xuan's army that has fallen into the water."
"Blow the horn for me."
"Come on!"
Cao Ren was very excited.
This time when they went south to fight Lu Xuan, Cao Jun failed in the battle at Wancheng. He was betrayed by Zhang Xiu and fled to Zhi County in embarrassment. Now, I finally saw Lu Xuan in trouble and saw the opportunity to defeat Lu Xuan's army.
The sound of the horn echoed around.
Large groups of small boats spread out and rushed forward.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei's soldiers boarded hundreds of small boats and surrounded the hills, trying to follow Lu Xuan's soldiers.
Lu Xuan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the densely packed boats at the bottom of the mountain, with a smile on his face and loudly said: "Gong Jin, beat the drum and send the order, notify all the soldiers to attack."
Zhou Yu quickly made arrangements.
Boom! Boom! !
The sound of drums resounded on the hills, and war drums were beaten one after another. The sound went straight into the sky, breaking the sound of the rushing water and suppressing the shouts of Cao Cao's soldiers, leaving only the sound of war drums around.
The sound of drums was heard, and the boats that had been prepared in the rear appeared quickly.
Lu Xuan's soldiers were all good at maneuvering the boats. The soldiers in charge of rowing were shouting and shouting slogans as they rowed. The boats and sterns, like snakes swimming on the water, kept scurrying forward, coming out from the south of the hill, across the On the water, a row of Great Wall seemed to be stretched out.
The boat and the stern were extremely fast and soon appeared in the sight of Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Ma Chao and others.
The pupils in Cao Ren's eyes shrank.
He saw a large number of boats and sterns, and the boats dispersed and blocked the path of Cao Jun. No, to be precise, they were in the shape of a large fan, quickly surrounding them, as if casting a net, towards Cao Jun. Close the net in their direction.
In addition, these boats and sterns are larger and faster than their ships.
Once they collide, their ships will not be able to hold it.
"Fell into a trap!"
Cao Ren suddenly shouted loudly.
According to the results of Cao Cao's discussion with them, because the rain was too heavy, it was normal for Lu Xuan to lead his troops to retreat to a higher place and prepare some boats. However, Lu Xuan could not prepare too much.
However, there were clearly a lot of boats and sterns in front of us.
Hundreds of ships!
No, there are thousands of boats.
Cao Ren's scalp was numb. Looking at the surrounding army, he suddenly opened his voice and roared loudly: "Retreat, retreat with all your strength."
Cao Hong was also not far away and was shocked when he saw the large ships rushing towards them one after another.
They used the flood to plot against Lu Xuan. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan also used the flood to plot against them, treating him in the same way as others. However, Lu Xuan has never made any move. Where did so many boats come from?
Cao Hong couldn't understand it at all.
However, this did not prevent him from immediately ordering a retreat.
Zhang Fei also participated in the attack. When he saw the densely packed boats on the water, a look of despair appeared on his rough face.
It's probably impossible to save my second brother. Although he was very dissatisfied with his second brother's ruthlessness, he also wanted to save his second brother.
Zhang Fei reluctantly ordered a retreat.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei's soldiers were all retreating. Some of the soldiers were not familiar with the waterways and were unable to turn around. They were frightened and panicked, losing their structure and rhythm.
The fighting situation on the water was over before they even met or started fighting.
When the two sides were chasing each other, Cao Jun and Liu Jun were stranded. Lu Xuan's soldiers were very fast because they were familiar with rowing, and they caught up in a short time.
Long spears poked out at Cao Jun's soldiers, and some soldiers threw out their hooks, directly hooked Cao Jun's boats, and pulled them quickly.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei's soldiers were not used to water battles, so they barely adapted to it in a boat. Now the ship rocked and tilted, immediately revealing their unaccustomed nature to water battles. Many of them were unable to fight back, let alone stand firm, and kept falling into the water.
Long spears came out one after another, stabbing and killing those who fell into the water.
Cao Cao's men suffered numerous casualties.
Lu Xuan's troops crushed them all the way. Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei's soldiers resisted, these resistances had no power at all. If it is an infantry battle on the battlefield, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's armies can fight and resist.
In the current water battle, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's armies are blinded and cannot display their combat effectiveness at all. Most of the people were crushed by Lu Xuan's soldiers, overturned in the water and killed.
Cao's army was defeated like a mountain.
Cao Ren quickly evacuated by boat, feeling extremely aggrieved. In all his years of fighting in the army, this was the most aggrieved time. Because the two sides had not yet come into contact, they were immediately defeated, and a large number of soldiers were being killed.
Cao Ren ordered an accelerated retreat.
Because Lu Xuan's men were chasing him, the soldiers of Cao's army on his boat were also panicked and fearful. Everyone rowed desperately and kept retreating.
"Hurry, faster."
Cao Ren urged again.
Cao Ren kept giving orders, and the soldiers were united, so they returned faster than when they left. He looked at the city of Pheasant County that came into view. Even though it was still far away, Cao Ren couldn't wait any longer.
No delay!
The lord must be notified immediately.
Cao Ren ordered the soldiers to follow him and shouted directly: "Sikong, we have been tricked, retreat quickly."
The soldiers shouted in unison.
Neat but panicked shouts reached the tower and into the room where Cao Cao and Liu Bei were.
