Just as fierce battle broke out in Xinye City, the battle at the Bishui River mouth to the south was about to break out. More than 250 ferries were carrying more than 6,000 Cao army soldiers slowly coming from the north, and the man was the general Cao Hong.

Cao Hong held an iron spear in his hand and squatted at the bow of the first ferry, watching the situation on both sides of the river vigilantly. It was particularly quieter than the two sides of the water, covered with shrubs and grass, and even the sound of insects seemed to disappear. Only in his ears could he hear the rhythmic sound of wooden oars paddling in the water.

Although this kind of quietness is normal, Cao Hong still felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why he felt this uneasy, but at this time he had no time to experience it carefully, and the ferry had arrived at his destination.

"Look at General, Fort Dunsey" a soldier whispered in a low voice, pointing to the distance.

Cao Hong also saw it. A few steps away, a dark castle stood in the gray-white night sky. At this time, the ferry slowly landed. A Cao army tentative hiding in the bushes on the shore suddenly came out, frightening the Cao army soldiers on the boat. They raised their crossbows to point at the black shadows on the shore, shouting: "Command"

"Night Owl"

This is the command tonight's action. Everyone was relieved. Cao Hong asked: "How is the situation in the enemy camp?"

"General Qibing, it's very quiet, everything is normal"

Cao Hong looked back and saw that all the ferries were docked. He immediately ordered to "get ashore and assemble"

A personal soldier beside him lit a torch and stretched out of the boat and swayed. The ferry boats behind him saw the fire signal. The Cao army soldiers abandoned the boat and landed on the shore. Groups of figures swayed and quickly assembled on the narrow and long open space.

Cao Hong always stared at the castle, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, but he didn't know where the problem was.

At this time, Deputy General Li Dian rushed to report, "General, the team has been assembled."

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

Li Dian pondered: "I just felt quiet. I was not discovered by the patrol. It was a bit weird. Apart from that, no other abnormalities were found."

Cao Hong had already discovered this point, but it was normal to be quiet. The patrol of the Pinjun should be in the north, and he did not expect the enemy to attack from the water.

"Time cannot be dragged any more, and there are five people left to watch the ship, and the rest of the army set off immediately."

Cao Hong no longer hesitated and urged his horse to go. Teams of Cao's army left the river bank and followed him quickly to the enemy camp.

The camp of Pinjun is about one mile away from the river and needs to pass through a narrow forest. Cao Jun passed through the forest. Cao Hong saw the camp not far away at a glance. Just two steps away, surrounded by tall camp bars, with trenches and spears in front of him.

"Take the five brothers to open one," Cao Hong turned around and ordered Li Diandao.

"Abide by the order"

Li Dian nodded, waved his hand and led the five soldiers toward the enemy camp. The task of these five soldiers was to fill a section of trench, pull out spears and pull down several rows of camp fences, and prepare for the army to enter the enemy camp.

Li Dian led the five soldiers to run away, and after a moment, he rushed to the side of the camp. He quickly put pieces of wooden boards on the trench and began to pull out dense spears.

Cao Hong watched the actions of several soldiers, so nervous that his heart was about to jump out. At this moment, a general ran to him and whispered: "General, something is wrong. Why is the enemy not moving?"

Cao Hong was stunned. Something was wrong. He couldn't help but look at the castle. The dim and pale moonlight shone on the dark castle, with a bit of weirdness.

Cao Hong suddenly understood what was wrong just now. It turned out that there was no soul-summoning banner on the castle, not even a white banner. Liu Biao had only been dead for two days. How could there be no banner on the top of the city? It was either an empty city or an ambush.

He was shocked and quickly ordered: "Let them come back and retreat immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier pointed at the castle and shouted: "General, the beacon fire on the top of the city has been lit."

I saw that at the highest point of the castle, the pillar of fire rose into the air. This was obviously a signal. The north and west sides suddenly shouted loudly. Cao Hong was shocked and didn't care about Li Dian. He stood up and shouted: "Retreat back to the ship immediately."

Cao's army was in chaos, turned around and ran towards the river bank, pushing each other, many people were pushed down and trampled, screaming everywhere, crying and shouting, "Don't panic, the enemy did not come."

Cao's army slowed down a little, and as soon as he ran onto the ship, most of the soldiers had just boarded the ship, but a sound of buzz came from the other side, followed by arrows. There were countless crossbowmen ambushing the other side, and dense arrows roared. Cao's army 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 rifle arrow. He shouted in a hurry, "The shield is held back, and the ship goes north immediately."

At this time, Cao Hong had already understood that they were in ambush and did not know how many enemy troops were around. This fear of ignorance of the truth made Cao Hong panic.

But Cao Hong was experienced after all, and in this case, he had to examine the situation and find the opponent's weakness. He knew in his heart that the shore was no longer safe. The enemy had no ships, and only the river was the only safe place. This was the opponent's weakness. It was urgent to leave the river mouth and head north.

Cao Jun used a shield to top the sides of the ship, forming a shield wall on both sides of the left and right. It was barely safe. The ferry left the shore and entered the river and began to return.

But after only less than half a mile, there was a noise in front of me, and the fire on the water surface was burning rapidly. The ships in the front were engulfed by the fire. The soldiers dived and escaped. The rest of the ships turned around and became a mess.

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

"Turn around into the Han River"

Cao Hong shouted loudly that it was only one mile away from the Han River. Hiding in Hanzhong was their last survival. The back of the Cao army's fleet turned into a front team and drove towards the Han River.

But when it was less than a step away from the Han River, a huge warship suddenly appeared in front of them. On the ferry, Cao Jun screamed in shock, Cao Hong was also stunned, his heart was blank, not all the warships of Jiangxia Army were withdrawn, why did it appear again?

A giant ship with two thousand stones slashed the waves and hit the ferry facing Cao Hong. Amid the screams, the big ship hit the ferry. The ferry was smashed into pieces, and the soldiers fell into the water one after another, and even Cao Hong fell into the water.

At this time, warships followed one after another, and several warships appeared at the mouth of Bishui River. They divided their troops and sailed from both sides of the more than two ferries. The tactics were obvious, and soon formed a huge oval encirclement circle, surrounding the more than two ferries in the middle.

At this time, a large group of soldiers appeared on both sides, with five thousand people on both sides. This was the army that was hired and deployed. The warships and soldiers on the shore were like setting up nets of heaven and earth. The Cao army could not escape, and they had no choice but to surrender.

The fierce battle did not break out in the end, nor did it take a dramatic turn. The huge warship besieged the city with iron walls. The Cao army soldiers on the more than two ferries in the middle were unable to fly. On top of their heads, more than 10,000 Jiangxia soldiers took their bows and arrows and pointed them at them.

Liu Jing stood at the bow of the main ship and shouted sternly to the Cao army ship in the river: "I am Jiangxia Liu Jing, and you have no retreat. You can surrender. If you dare to resist again, I will not forgive you. The Han River will be where you die."

Cao Hong fell into the water and was unknown. There was only Li Dian, the deputy general in the ferry. He looked at him with a few pairs of eyes. Li Dian sighed, "Tell me my order, brothers, put down their weapons and surrender."

More than 5,000 Cao's 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 quality was not good. After swimming Yubu, he was exhausted. At this time, the dark river water was everywhere, and he could not find the shore. Cao Hong was so scared that he was scattered. While filling the water with big mouthfuls, he shouted desperately, "Help save my life."

It was also his life that he should not have been defeated. At this time, a Jiangxia army's outer patrol ship discovered him and slowly approached. More than ten Jiangxia soldiers were waiting on the ship. When he approached Cao Hong, more than a dozen spears stabbed him at him, and Cao Hong was so scared that he shouted: "I am the chief general, spare my life."

The soldiers were overjoyed and hooked him with hooks, dragged Cao Hong onto the boat with all his hands and feet, and then tied him up with ropes.

According to Mao Jie's plan of virtuality, Cao Hong's attack on the large camp of the army should have been a virtual attack, with the purpose of attracting Jiangxia guards from Fancheng to rescue Weng.

It should be said that Mao Jie was very considerate and had just surrendered to Liu Jing. If he was in danger, Fan Cheng would definitely send troops to rescue him. There was no problem in theory.

Therefore, Cao Ren led thousands of cavalry to ambush in half a dense forest, with open official road ahead. Once reinforcements arrive, thousands of cavalry suddenly attack and wipe out the Jiangxia army. Then the cavalry turned around and attacked the recruited army. No matter how elite the recruited army was, it was hard to resist being attacked from both sides, and it would eventually be the fate of defeat.

To this end, Cao Ren has made careful arrangements. If the enemy is not prepared, he will fall into the trap. At this time, Cao Ren is full of expectations. If this battle is won, the entire Jingzhou will surely disintegrate people.

However, as time went by, Cao Ren's confidence was also gradually decreasing. In the woods, thousands of cavalry had been waiting for nearly an hour. The war horses and soldiers were a little impatient. The low sound of war horses and the sound of soldiers drawing their swords were constantly heard.

"Master, no accident will happen, Cao Ren whispered to Mao Jie beside him.

Mao Jie bit his lips, and there was an unconcealed anxiety in his eyes. Deng Saicheng's beacon fire ignited for half an hour, but there was still no movement on Fancheng. This exceeded his psychological time limit, and he felt something was not good in his heart.

"Wait a little longer" Mao Jie whispered, his tone was no longer confident, which made Cao Ren clearly feel his shaken.

Cao Ren frowned and looked eastward. He didn't know how the battle situation in Dengsai City was dozens of miles away.

At this moment, a Cao army scout rushed over on a horse and shouted from a distance: "General, something is not good."

Cao Ren's heart suddenly hangs. What does it mean to be a big deal? He immediately went up and asked, "What's the situation over Bishui?"

The scout panted and said, "Several warships of the Jiangxia army appeared and surrounded General Cao. Our army has been wiped out."

The last sentence was like a thunderous sound. Cao Ren seemed to be stunned by the explosion. He didn't react for a while. Mao Jie's face turned pale in an instant. Liu Jing did not leave at all. They got into the trap set by each other.

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

Mao Jie said in a trembling voice: "Retreat quickly"
