Chapter 985

"Father, father!"

Cao Taixing rushed to Cao Ren with a letter and said to him, "father, a letter comes from outside the city. Have a look."

"Oh? From outside the city? I'll have a look at it

Cao Ren reached out and took the letter from Cao Tai's hand. After unfolding, his eyebrows immediately expanded.

"Father, is there any good news?" When Cao Tai saw Cao Ren's brow stretching, he immediately asked.

"Not bad!" Cao Ren said with a smile: "Wenlie has led Chai sang 20000 navy to come, ready to receive our army's retreat."

"That would be great!"

Cao Tai was excited for a while, and then calmed down: "however, the Xiliang Navy is numerous, 20000 people may not be able to take over."

"No harm, Wen lie has said in the letter." Cao Ren explained: "in the ugly time of tomorrow night, he will send a detachment to attack Xiliang army from the east to attract the enemy's attention. Then he will personally lead the main force to the west, and then our army will retreat from the West."

"This letter was fired into the city, but it was not known by the enemy. If it was properly operated, it should be able to withdraw. When we get to Jiangdong, our army can regroup and fight against the enemy again."

...

the next day, the night was ugly.

The Xiliang military water stronghold is quiet at the moment. Most of the officers and men in the Xiliang army are already in sleep except for the personnel on duty.

"Well?"

Gao Chong, the commander-in-chief of Xiliang junshui Normal University, suddenly opens his eyes and wakes up from his sleep. He only hears the noise in his ears and is naturally awakened. As a general, he has inevitably experienced a night attack, so his nerves are extremely sharp, and he will be awakened immediately when he hears any noise.

"Somebody, somebody! What's going on? "

"Dudu Du, the enemy attacked our water stronghold at night from the East. At present, Zhu Xiaowei is leading the army to fight with the enemy!"

"Enemy night attack?"

Although Gao pet just woke up, his brain was thinking fast.

Cao's troops were not large, so they launched a surprise attack at night, apparently to meet Cao Ren's retreat at night.

Thinking from the perspective of high favor: what will you do if you want to take over your own army when you are at a disadvantage?

After thinking for a while, Gao Chong ordered: "order the water army to be divided into two parts. Half of them will go to the east to attack the enemy, and the other half will immediately surround Jiangxia city. In any case, Cao Ren will not be able to break through the encirclement."

"Here it is

On the east side of Xiliang water village, the sound of killing sounds thundering in the sky, and the fire light makes the water red. Cao Jun and Xiliang army are fighting together. Because he didn't know how many enemy troops had arrived, Zhu Huan, who was cautious by nature, did not order his water division to attack. Instead, he stuck to the camp.

At this time, a large number of reinforcements from gaochong had arrived.

"Captain Zhu, the commander of Dadu has an order to order the whole army to attack!"

"Orders of the governor?"

Zhu Huan nodded: "well, since the governor of Dadu has orders, the whole army will attack!"

"Kill!"

The east gate of the water village opened slowly, and tens of thousands of Xiliang water division were killed in a single effort, with a tremendous momentum.

"The enemy is coming out!"

Zhu Zhao frowned and said, "if you want to fight and retreat, you must give Cao Annan enough time."

On the other hand, Cao Xiu led the main navy has come to Jiangxia city.

"Uncle!"

"Wenlie, ha ha!"

When Cao Ren saw Cao Xiu, he was very happy. He held him together.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." Cao Gongtai's hand was against Cao Gongtai.

"Ha ha, don't talk nonsense. Let's get out and talk about something else."

Cao Xiu laughed, and then ordered, "the warship is coming, retreat immediately!"

Nearly 20000 Cao soldiers rushed out of the city and boarded the warships one after another, ready to retreat with them.

"The enemy will retreat. Don't let them go!"

At this time, the South suddenly heard a cry to kill, only to see in the night countless warships holding high torches rushed toward the Cao army.

"What's going on?"

"I'm afraid the enemy has seen through my plan, but fortunately, the army has boarded the warship, and now our army is retreating quickly!"

Cao Xiu immediately called on him and said, "the whole army is retreating, quick!"

Hundreds of Cao's warships, full of sails, retreated to the East.

"Catch up, don't let the enemy go!"

Huang Zhong yelled, and tens of thousands of water division immediately rushed to Cao Jun's navy and pursued him.

The purpose of Cao Xiu's coming to Jiangxia is not to fight with the Xiliang Navy, but to meet Cao Ren's retreat. Now that Cao Ren and tens of thousands of Cao's troops have been put on board the warship, Cao Xiu naturally does not intend to continue to entangle with the Xiliang Navy, but to retreat quickly.

However, the distance between the Xiliang Navy and the Cao Army Navy was getting closer. Because the Cao army's warships were full of people, carrying twice as many people as usual. With more than one person, the speed of the warship inevitably slowed down, so we could see that the distance between the two armies was getting closer."Annan, Zhennan, the enemy is catching up. What should we do?"

Cao Xiu frowned and said, "go up and stop the enemy."

Naturally, the two Duwei named by Cao Xiu were somewhat reluctant. Who knows that it is a life of death to go up and intercept the enemy. Who is willing to die?

"Why, you don't want to?" Cao Xiu said coldly.

"Yes, I will." The two Duwei dare not go against Cao Xiu's wishes. This is because Cao Cao's military system is very special. In order to prevent the soldiers from rebelling, Cao Cao assigned wives to the soldiers who did not have wives (the real country sent girlfriends), and at the same time, he took the family members of the generals to Pengcheng, in order to prevent them from defecting.

Otherwise, Cao's family will not trip up his family.

So, two Duwei, led by dozens of warships and thousands of soldiers, went up to Huang Zhongjun.

"Ha ha, such a small number of people dare to obstruct our army. It's really reckless!" Huang Zhong laughs and immediately commands the troops to surround Cao's army in two ways.

Cao Xiu immediately ordered the navy to retreat to the East, while the two Cao Duwei led dozens of warships to fight with Huang Zhongjun to buy time for Cao Xiu and others to retreat.

With two Cao Jun Duwei blocking, Huang Zhongjun's warship was inevitably blocked down, so Cao Xiu and others were able to retreat safely. However, Huang Zhong was not a fool. While some troops and horses besieged the two captains of Cao's army, the rest of them continued to chase after Cao Xiujun. Therefore, Cao Xiu had to constantly separate troops and horses to block Huang Zhongjun's pursuit, and lost more than 30 warships and more than 4000 people, which finally got rid of the enemy's pursuit.

After meeting with the army and horses on the east road that attracted the attention of the enemy, Cao's army lost more than 6000 people, but rescued Cao Ren's 20000 men and horses. Therefore, there are still more than 30000 people in the army, but the combat power is still alive.
