Zang Ba was about forty years old and was famous in the Central Plains. He was one of the famous generals under Cao Cao. This time, although he was the vanguard and captured Anlu County, he actually took on more important tasks.

Zang Ba's deathly spear weighed 60 kilograms and was once one of the ten famous spears collected by Yuan Shao. After defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao gave him this spear. This spear, coupled with Zang Ba's brave martial arts, made Zang Ba's attacking power stronger.

In the Jiangxia army, Cai Jin was eager to try and said to Renren Zhan: "Master, let me go."

When I was hired to know Zang Ba and knew that this person was very skilled in martial arts. Cai Jin couldn't do it. He shook his head and said, "You are not a match for this person. If you fail, it will definitely affect my morale. You cannot go to the battle, so I will come in person."

Without waiting for the opposition from his generals, he rushed out and carried a long sword in his hand. He rushed straight to Zang Ba, "Don't be arrogant in the enemy general, I'll hire you to meet you."

The drums suddenly sounded loudly in the Jiangxia army. Cai Jin grabbed the drumstick and tried his best to cheer for his master.

The two horses were close. Although they met ten years ago, they did not answer at this time. They urged the horses to fight, and they fought with swords and guns, and were full of murderous aura. The two were close in martial arts and had equal strength. They quickly fought together.

After more than twenty rounds of fierce battle, Zang Ba swung a frightened shot, drove away, and chanted loudly, chasing him reluctantly. Cai Jin, who was in the Jiangxia army, saw that the enemy's chief general had been defeated, immediately shouted, "The enemy generals have been defeated, my sons will follow me to kill him."

He rode his horse and waved his sword. The sound of drums in the attack of Jiangxia army was like thunder. Ten thousand Jiangxia soldiers shouted, waving swords and guns to cover them and left.

The Cao army was exhausted in the march and could not resist the Jiangxia army with a rainbow of morale. In addition, the defeat of the commander general made the Cao army unwilling to fight and turned around and fled. The army was defeated like a mountain of defeat for a while.

Li Yan, the county magistrate who was watching the battle behind, found something wrong. Cao's army was neat and had a stable position. Although the general was defeated, it would affect morale at most and would not collapse before the battle.

He could see clearly that many Cao army soldiers turned around and fled for no reason, and retreated in an orderly manner, without chaos.

Li Yan said to Su Fei urgently: "Su Shou, it's a bit wrong with Cao's army. This is not defeat and fleeing. They are deliberately defeating."

Su Fei also found something wrong. He immediately realized the danger and rushed to the horse and chased after Pin and shouted: "General, the enemy is cheating."

Pin was about to order a pursuit, but suddenly he heard Su Fei's shouts. He immediately stopped the war horse and looked back in surprise. Su Fei rushed over and said anxiously: "Cao's army retreated for no reason. There must be a fraud among them. Generals should not be pursued."

Pin suddenly woke up and quickly ordered: "No pursuit is allowed, and the army is withdrawn."

The harsh bell rang, and Jiangxia soldiers chasing the enemy retreated one after another. At this moment, scouts and cavalry rushed over behind him and reported nervously: "Qi Zhuan, a Cao army appeared in the south, about 10,000 people."

Pin was shocked. His retreat was in the south, and Cao's army appeared. This was to cut off his retreat. At this time, scouts kept coming from all directions.

"Report to the commander, Cao's army appeared on the west side, and there were tens of thousands of people."

"Qi Bishu, Cao's army appeared on the east bank of the Shui River, with about 6,000 people."

Cao's army appeared from all directions and surrounded them.

.........

At this time, Zang Ba's army also stopped running. Zang Ba held his horse and ordered: "Stop running and complete the team immediately."

The well-trained Cao army stopped escaping. They ran away in an orderly manner without any confusion. Under the command of officers at all levels, they quickly assembled the entire team.

Zang Ba looked up at Jiang Xia, who was no longer chasing in the distance. He couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "Do you understand now, it's a pity that it's too late?"

Zang Ba accepted the task of delaying gui. This was Sima Yi's plan. gui is proud by nature and will never give up easily. So in order to give him a glorious withdrawal, it is necessary to send an army that is not very strong but not weak as a vanguard, which arouses gui's appetite to swallow it.

In this way, the army of pirated will not retreat south in a hurry. At least they will defeat this army and then slowly retreat south after obtaining glory. As it turns out, Sima Yi understood the mentality of pirated and his strategy was successful.

When Pin realized that Zang Ba was deliberately defeated, he was already in a siege.

"General Zang, the Lord is coming," a soldier pointed to the north and shouted.

Zang Ba turned around and saw an army of nearly 20,000 people slowly coming here, with flags waving, and the dark army was ignorant at first sight.

Zang Ba urged the horse to meet him. The team was the general, and it was Zhang Liao, the chief general of the central army.

Cao Cao actually divided four troops, and the Eastern Army was Man Chong, who led 10,000 troops to Hefei and put pressure on Jiangdong.

The central army was Zhang Liao, with Zhang Liao as the main general, Zhao Yan as the guardian, and Sima Yi as the chief clerk. They led 50,000 troops to Anlu County, and their troops were overwhelming Jiangxia and drinking horses in the Yangtze River.

Cao Cao was the main force, leading more than 200,000 troops from Nanyang to Xiangyang, while Cao Ren, the Western Army, led tens of troops to cross the Han River to Shangyong, and marched from Fangling to Xiangyang.

Among these four armies, Zhang Liao had a heavy task. He wanted to restrain the main force of the Jiangxia army on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Then completely annihilated the Jiangxia army in Anlu County was Zhang Liao's first plan.

Zang Ba urged him to step forward, bowed and said, "See the main general."

Zhang Liao smiled, "How is the battle situation?"

"Reporting to the main general, he has successfully delayed the Jiangxia army. The last general and the Pin battle, he is now in the army."

"Very good, thank you General Zang for your hard work."

Zhang Liao then turned around and smiled at Sima Yi beside him and said, "Sima Zhubo has indeed had insight into people's hearts and has successfully trapped the recruitment. He asked for me for the Prime Minister Bo."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, General Zhang, but I will definitely break south. Our army must immediately shrink the encirclement to prevent the Jiangxia army from coming to rescue from the water."

Zhang Liao looked at the not-so-wide Jingshui and couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, I really hope that the Jiangxia army warships would come from the water."

Despite this, Zhang Liao immediately issued an order, "The army came and began to encircle and strangle the Jiangxia army."

.........

When he found out that he was trapped in a heavy siege, he was not panicked. He immediately led his army to retreat to Anlu County. Although the walls of Anlu County were not tall and strong, if he could defend for two days, he would definitely wait for reinforcements from Jiangxia.

But things went against their wishes. Just when they were still one mile away from the county town, they received news that the county magistrate Wang Qi had surrendered to Cao's army and Anlu County fell into the hands of Cao's army.

Helplessly, I had to bypass the county town and continue to evacuate south. Anlu County was about fifty miles away from the Yangtze River. If I ran, I would not reach the riverside until at least midnight.

Although he wanted to speed up his retreat to the south, he had no chance. Under the leadership of General Yu Jin, the 10,000 Cao troops cut off their way back from the south. A breakthrough battle broke out at dusk.

In the wilderness about ten miles southwest of Anlu City, fierce fighting broke out between the two armies. The sound of war drums was like thunder and the sound of killing was shocking. Ten thousand Jiangxia troops were divided into five teams to break through the encirclement. Yu Jin was prepared for it. He commanded the army to change its formation and divided the ten thousand Cao troops into two armies, attacking the Jiangxia troops from the south and west directions.

"Run out and meet by the river" yelled loudly, ordering his subordinates to break through. He led two thousand troops to fight against the Cao army in the south where Yu Jin was located, trying to create opportunities for the other four armies.

But Zhao, the general in the west, also led 10,000 Cao troops to kill him, suppressing the Jiangxia army from the north and attacking the north and south, making it extremely difficult for the Jiangxia army to break through.

In the wilderness, swords and guns were fighting each other, blood and flesh were sprinkled, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. Groups of soldiers fought in a melee, and their eyes were red. A Jiangxia soldier was stabbed by two Cao troops. Cao Junshi stepped on the neck of Jiangxia soldiers and stabbed the spear into Jiangxia's chest amid the screams of despair.

But before he could pull out his spear, a fierce horse ran past the side, and immediately slashed out with a long sword from the general. Cao Jun and his long head jumped up in the air, and blood gushed out of his neck. Cai Jin's long sword slashed left and right. More than a dozen Cao Jun soldiers were killed by him one by one. The Cao Jun soldiers beside him were so scared that they dispersed.

At this time, he saw dozens of Jiangxia soldiers failing to break through the siege, surrounded by Yu Cao's soldiers, and killed one by one. His eyes turned red, he roared and swung his sword to break into the siege...

"General Cai, General Cai has an order to lead your army to evacuate immediately to ensure the safety of the soldiers."

A hired personal soldier shouted: "Military orders are like a mountain. If General Cai refuses to follow, military law will be carried out."

The military orders have always been like mountains in the recruitment army. Although Cai Jin knew that his master wanted to cover his breakthrough, his heart was ashamed, but he did not dare to disobey the military order. He shouted to his soldiers: "My sons, break through with me."

He rushed out like crazy, and more than a thousand Jiangxia soldiers followed him to fight to the death. Everyone acted in anger and killed a piece of blood from the weak. Cai Jin led more than a thousand people to flee south.

But after only two miles running, Cai Jin stopped his war horse and looked back at the battlefield. He saw the army led by his master being surrounded by Cao's army. The shouts of killing sounds shook the sky. Cai Jin gritted his teeth and said to his subordinate Wang Hu, "You can lead your brothers to retreat south to the riverside, and I will go to rescue the master general."

Cai Jin turned his horse and rushed to the battlefield, and dozens of soldiers also shouted: "We are willing to fight with General Cai"

They followed the Cai family to kill the most densely packed part of the Cao army.

.........

It was almost dark at this time, and the Jiangxia army had broken through more than 6,000 people, leaving only the 2,000 soldiers led by Pin, surrounded by 20,000 Cao's army. Pin was exhausted, but he was unable to break through the siege.

At this moment, a shout broke out from the left, and Cai Jin came back with dozens of people. Pin was furious and urged him to come forward and whip away, "What are you doing when you come back?"

Cai Jin lowered his head, tears in his eyes and said, "The soldiers have left, but the disciple will never leave his master and escape."

When he choked, his disciple was not very skilled in martial arts, but he was a loyal and righteous man. He refused to abandon himself and left alone. His eyes couldn't help but turn red and nodded, "Okay, our master and disciple both died in battle, which is also fate."

At this time, Yu Jin shouted not far away: "If General Zhongye is willing to surrender, I will let your soldiers go back."

Looking back at the soldiers, he could die in battle, but he hoped that the soldiers could survive, but several soldiers shouted almost at the same time: "I wish to fight the general to the death to the end."

The heroic spirit suddenly became so strong that he said to everyone coldly: "It's so lucky for a real man to die on the battlefield."
