Chapter 686 Fire and Water Are Ruthless

Seeing that so many Cao soldiers successfully crossed the Zhangjia River, Cao Hong happily told his lieutenant: "I will cross the river myself. You are here to supervise the rear army. Do you understand?"

The deputy general cupped his hands and said, "General, be careful."

"Um."

Cao Hong nodded and was about to dismount and cross the river. Suddenly his ears twitched slightly and he seemed to hear something.

"Strange, what is this sound?" He frowned, stopped moving, and listened. And this sound is getting louder and louder, as if some savage beast is about to appear in front of you.

"Um?!"

Cao Hong's expression suddenly changed and he shouted to his surroundings: "The waves are the sound of waves! Someone blocked the river and built a dike, and the dike broke!"

The Cao soldiers around him all changed their faces when they heard this. The Cao soldiers who had just entered the water hurriedly put aside their robes and climbed up the river bank on their hands and feet, looking terrified.

"Look! It's Hefeng, Hefeng!"

One of Cao's soldiers looked panicked, pointed to the north and shouted, his voice extremely sharp. When nearly ten thousand Cao soldiers heard his shout, they couldn't help but look in the direction of his finger.

I saw turbulent and powerful waves rushing in with lightning speed. The huge waves carried the power of destroying everything and washed away the trees on both sides of the river bank. They were like tall mountains rushing in, destroying everything on both sides of the Zhangjia River. Get involved.

"Run!"

"Help!"

"I can't swim!"

Nearly ten thousand Cao's troops were all in a hurry. Even Cao's troops who had already gone ashore and those who had not yet entered the river looked horrified, because most of Cao's troops were from the north, and only a few of them knew how to swim. Most of the rest were landlubbers. When they saw the turbulent river peaks, they It's hard to avoid being frightened by the huge power coming.

Cao Jun, who was still in the water, was like a landlubber who had fallen into the water. Each one used his hands and feet to crawl toward both sides of the river, crying for his father and mother. Many of these Cao soldiers, who did not know how to drink water, immediately fell into the water with a plop and took several sips of their foot-washing water.

Although Cao Bing struggled, how could manpower compare to the power of nature?

boom!

The peak of the river finally struck, as if a mountain was pushing across the river, crushing thousands of Cao's troops.

"ah!"

"Help!"

More than a thousand Cao Jun who were still in the water and failed to come up were immediately swept by the river peak and fell into the water one by one. The river water penetrated into Cao Bing's mouth, nostrils, ears, and eyes, and enveloped their entire bodies. For a moment, it seemed as if water had entered their brains, and their thoughts were washed away.

It's not just Cao's army in the river. The river peak has been impounded by the dam for a long time. Now that the gate is suddenly removed, it is like a tiger that has been starved for several days coming out of the cage, doubling its power. The huge river peak hit, and the narrow river channel could not accommodate such a raging river peak, so the river peak spilled onto both sides of the river.

Nearly a thousand Cao soldiers within three feet of both sides of the river only had time to let out a scream before their entire bodies were swept up by the leaking river water and were successfully captured by the river water.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Cao Hong was stunned and then became furious.

What exactly is going on? Didn't the Sentinel Cavalry survey that there were no enemy troops around?

Why do people build embankments to block rivers?

More than two thousand Cao soldiers were swept into the water alone, and there were more than a thousand Cao soldiers on the other side of the river. The two banks were separated by the turbulent river, making it impossible for the two groups of Cao soldiers to meet up.

Tap tap tap!

The sound of dense footsteps gradually came, and the ground shook slightly. Only then did Cao Bing, who had just been roared by the river peak, react and look to the opposite side.

Only a black line appeared on the horizon. As the footsteps gradually increased, the black line became thicker and thicker, and eventually turned into a large army.

A flag with the character "Xu" is flying high, and below are more than ten thousand Liangzhou troops coming in formation. They are in tight formation, and they are all in high spirits. At a glance, you can tell that they are elite soldiers who are recharging their strength, not like Cao's army. Panting like an ox.

The general in the middle of the Liangzhou army was holding a big axe, wearing black armor and an iron helmet. He was as strong as an ox. He was Xu Huang who was ordered to guard Jizhou.

"The whole army attacks and defeats Cao's army on the opposite side!"

"kill!"

Xu Huang led 12,000 Liangzhou troops on a rapid march from Yecheng to Liao County. In order to hide his whereabouts and prevent Cao Jun from discovering the traces of the army, he hid in Liao County and did not move.

Xu Huang arranged for his army scouts to pretend to be hunters in the mountains, check the traces of Cao's army along the way, and fly reports to the army in the city and the guards guarding the dams upstream of the river.

The Liangzhou army came out of the city and flooded Cao's army at almost the same moment, but when Hefeng retreated, Xu Huang finally led the Liangzhou army to arrive belatedly.

The Liangzhou army was recharging its strength in Liao County. At this moment, like an eagle spreading its wings and a tiger descending from the mountain, each one rushed forward in high spirits. The 12,000-strong army spread out and surrounded Cao's army on the west bank of the river.

Before more than a thousand Cao Cao's troops could recover from the fright at Hefeng, the fierce Liangzhou army opened their battle formation, like a giant beast opening its mouth, with two rows of fangs trying to swallow up more than a thousand Cao Cao's troops.

Finally, the Liangzhou army charging forward and Cao Jun collided hard.

Whoosh whoosh!

Arrows fell like rain, and Cao's army had already suffered hundreds of casualties before they fought. At this time, the spearmen and sword and shield men of the Liangzhou army took turns to cover and rushed forward.

"Kill the thief!"

"ah!"

"Drive them down the river!"

How could Cao Cao's army of more than a thousand be an opponent ten times the enemy? As soon as Xu Huang made a move, the entire army pressed forward, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, causing heavy losses to Cao's army on the opposite side.

Although Cao Cao's army of more than a thousand soldiers fought with their last resort, they were frightened by the turbulent river peaks and turned pale. They could not exert 10% of their combat power and could not use 20% of their strength. They hurriedly fought against the Liangzhou army that was coming in layers and were immediately knocked into the water. .

"Well"

Cao Bing, who was knocked into the water, took a few gulps of river water and wanted to shout for help, but more water poured into his throat. He gesticulated anxiously and fell in again.

Cao's army was either hacked to death or knocked directly into the water by the Liangzhou army. The more than a thousand Cao army was no match for the Liangzhou army. They were defeated in one battle, just like slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Cao Jun's corpse fell into the water, and the blood oozing from the wound dyed Zhangjia River red. At the same time, some drowned Cao Jun corpses also emerged from the river. Their skin was white and their bodies were swollen. They had been drowned.

The total number of those drowned by the river, plus the Cao troops killed by the Liangzhou soldiers, was about 4,000, and the battle losses were as high as 40%. There were less than 6,000 Cao troops left standing on the other side of the river, looking at the Liangzhou troops opposite. ,stunned.

Cao Hong was furious and furious.

"I'm so mad at you, so mad at me!"

"Damn Xu Gongming, damn Liangzhou Army!"

Before the two armies fought, Cao's army had already suffered 40% casualties. How could we fight this battle? What will the Lord think of him, Cao Hong?
