Cai Mao is finished, and half of Jingzhou is really finished.

Cao Cao's garrison Jiangling looked to the north, he didn't know what the past Northern Army would think if he knew this news, although Cai Mao's army had not been completely wiped out now, but Cao Cao knew that Zhang Liao was finished.

Zhang Liao is not like Xu Huang, Cao Cao has studied the style of the Yan generals' wars, and he will use the greatest advantage to smash Huanglong in battle, but the same weakness is also obvious, that is, it does not change; Xu Huang continued to show the enemy weakness before the war, and finally defeated the enemy army who took him lightly in one fell swoop; And Zhang Liao is the most difficult of the Yan generals to deal with, in the situation that there is no ten to be sure, Cao Cao has never seen Zhang Liao make a move, and when he is in battle, this battle has probably been won.

Gao Shun, who fought with Cai Mao before, Cao Cao also knew something, that was the best among the generals, the battle was nothing special, everywhere was rigorous but not too changeable, it was nothing more than a little less radical than Lu Yi, and it was not easy to be seduced. But to put it mildly, Gao Shun's marching formation also made Cao Cao appreciate it very much.

Cai Mao faced such an enemy, and went to attack the camp he had already defended, even if he had more troops, he might not be able to defeat it. But in the face of Gao Shun, Cai Mao still has the possibility of escaping, he can withdraw his troops in advance and return to Huarong to defend the important place, and when the time comes, when he reaches the defensive, he will be able to occupy some advantages. But Cai Mao did not retreat, and fought with Gao Shun for three days, and then Cao Cao did not know the situation on the battlefield, because the Yan army suddenly sent a large number of scouts to block the entire battlefield.

This ghostly gesture made Cao Cao feel an extraordinary sense of familiarity, and at a glance he knew that it was the handiwork of his old friend Zhang Liao.

When Zhang Liao appeared on the battlefield, Cao Cao knew that Cai Mao's war was over, and Jingzhou's 20,000 infantry troops were gone!

At the same time, in order to alleviate Liu Biao's vigilance, Cao Cao also stated in the letter that if the situation is not good, he can retreat to Yicheng first, and then retreat to Zhijiang, he will not garrison troops in Zhijiang City, and Liu Biao will be suspicious.

There is no way, Cao Cao also knows that Liu Biao will definitely be suspicious about his strategic deployment, but where is he if he is not here, can he go to Huarongnan to fight Zhang Liao like Cai Mao? Zhang Liao's real purpose is not Huarong, but Jiangling on the south bank and Zhijiang on the north bank, which is self-evident, only Liu Biao, who does not know soldiers, can not see it!

What is Zhang Liao's picture? He was also worried about the Cao and Liu families joining forces, so he sent troops to Huarong to choke the dangerous place in Jingbei in the same direction, and took this opportunity to sweep away the Cao clan first and then attack the Liu clan in the north. After all, in Zhang Liao's mind, Cao Cao was the enemy handed over to him by Yanbei, and now Cao Cao's resurgence in Jingzhou means that his war is not over, so he must enter Jingzhou to fight.

Yingshui at the other end of the battlefield, the battle fell into anxiety, after several days of fighting between the two sides on the river, you chase me and flee, you go and I chase after the battle, the Xuezhou Department suffered serious losses, and now there is only one of the four large merchant ships left, leading more than 20 ships to flee back and forth, and there is no one left. The Jingzhou naval army was full of morale, and the three merchant ships were only exchanged for the merit of crashing and destroying a fighting ship, and the building ship did not receive the slightest loss, but the ship was greatly damaged, after all, no one could get any benefit in the battle of the collision between the Xuezhou Ministry.

However, the strength of the Jingzhou naval army did not suffer much loss, and their small boats were often destroyed by their own ships, not the Xuezhou Division, which now has no ability to crash into enemy ships.

But he was still running, fleeing everywhere around the Jingzhou Navy. Without the drag of the road, the speed of the Xuezhou Navy is extremely fast, and the merchant ships carry more sailors to row, and the speed is not slow, compared with Zhang Yunbu, who has a building ship, it is much slower, so they continue to circle around the Jingzhou Navy Army, one will be in the west of the Jingzhou fleet, one will be in the north, and one will go to the east.

Anyway, don't let them go south.

Once the Jingzhou army pursued them north, Xue Zhou asked his subordinates to sail north and flee, and once the enemy stopped chasing, he bit up again and shot over a few sergeants on the enemy's stern like wolves, and then fled.

Such a battle was extremely inefficient, but it made the sailors even more tired, and they were exhausted by eating and sleeping on the ships for several days. The sailors of the Xuezhou Department are okay, after all, they are used to being Haikou in the past, and there are often times when they can't find food when they are floating on the sea, but the Jingzhou sailors are different, they are all begging for a living in the water, where will there be the experience of not going ashore for several days?

Suffocate to death!

However, on the fourth day, the situation of the war changed, and the Xuezhou naval army, which had been fleeing everywhere and restraining them from going south, rushed over from north to south again, Zhang Yun on the building boat had already prepared, and immediately ordered his subordinates to meet the attack with bows and crossbows, and a large rain of arrows flew away, and then Zhang Yun ordered the fleet to continue to drive south and ignore them.

Zhang Yun also saw the tactics of the enemy army, it was nothing more than wanting to drag them in this body of water and prevent them from going to support Cai Mao, but was it possible not to support?

Zhang Yun no longer had time to continue to consume here, and immediately didn't want to pay attention to the disabled Yan Clan's naval army, the sound of golden drums sounded on the ship, and suddenly the huge ship formation continued to move south. What's more, Zhang Yun has also figured out the law of the enemy army, as long as he goes south, the enemy army will catch up, so since he can't catch up, then he won't chase it.

Anyway, the enemy army will send it to the door himself and let his army shoot them with bows and crossbows.

But this time, the situation was unexpected. The enemy ships, which had been anxious to see them to the south, were not in a hurry at all, but instead made a large circle on the water after striking their flanks, and then sailed quickly to the western shore.

Zhang Yun smiled disdainfully, he had long been unable to see this little trick of the enemy army.

"At a glance, I know that this thief army wants to lure us over again, heh, did he think that the same tactic would have been fooled twice?"

"No, General, these Yan Zhao thieves drove the boat to the shore, and they dismounted!"

"Disembark?" Hearing the report of his subordinates, Zhang Yun also hurriedly held the side of the boat and looked at the shore, and sure enough, the enemy soldiers actually got off the boat, "What's going on, are they seriously damaged and finally gave up?" ”

Zhang Yun shook his head, the enemy army still has the strength to fight, and he should not give up, if he doesn't give up, then there must be something wrong with the war, but what went wrong?

At this moment, Zhang Yun heard a loud shout from the subordinates of the fleet behind him, and then turned his head back to see a scene that frightened him.

At the end of the eye on the north side of the current, countless huge pieces of driftwood floated down the water, threatening to crash into their fleet.

Rumble!
