Han counter current

At this moment, Gao Zhong had made up his mind to move on, and Lu Xiao had already sent someone to send back the news, which could be regarded as confirming the enemy's movements.

However, with so many people and supplies in the camp, as well as the camps from other gates of Yecheng, it is really difficult to transfer them all in a short time.

Gao Zhong's side has already left, but Zhang He and Huang Zhong's side have just received the news. If they move now, it may not be in time.

"Boom,,,,,,"

Half an hour later, when Gao Zhong and Yan Cheng were staring in the direction of Zhangshui, there was a loud noise from the north of Ye City. Soon, Gao Zhong and the others showed ugly expressions on their faces.

"Damn it, I was negligent. Whether it's Cao Cao or Guo Jia, their attacks must be one after another. Whether it's the Zhangshui or the Weishui, they are all the targets of their digging, damn it."

The loud noise in the north must have come from the Weishui River. Lu Xiao had already discovered the enemy's situation when he went to inspect the Zhangshui River. Wen Meng led the army to patrol the Weishui River and there is no news so far. This does not mean that the Weishui River is safe.

In fact, as early as when Guo Jia's water army passed by Qingzhou, he dispatched elite troops to attack the high-ranking army, and at the same time used the main force to attract Chen Feng's attention.

After defeating Gao Gan, the elite Cao army split into two and secretly moved towards the location of Weishui and Zhangshui.

Many people found out that Guo Jia only dispatched [-] elites to attack the camp of high officials, but they didn't notice that the [-] elites disappeared without a trace after completing the mission.

Even Chen Feng himself has been focusing on Guo Jia during this time, because he would never have thought that Guo Jia would dare to divide his forces at this juncture.

The most important thing is that the reason why Guo Jia sent elites to attack high-ranking officials was to dig up the Weishui and Zhangshui as cover. Obviously, he did it.

When the Wei River was dug up, Wen Meng was being entangled by five hundred Cao troops. Both sides were fighting hard. When the flood came, the soldiers of both sides ran desperately to the high mountains. As for who survived, it all depends on their luck. alright.

As for Lu Xiao, his luck was not much better. Although he found the trace of the enemy first and sent someone back to report, when he arrived at Zhangshui and found the enemy, the embankment had already been dug. It's almost open.

A fierce fight was inevitable, Lu Xiao led 1000 elite soldiers under his command to attack more than [-] enemy troops, and even ordered his subordinates to whip their horses to hit the enemy formation on the embankment.

But this Cao army obviously regarded death as home, one by one, they used their lives to resist Lu Xiao's iron cavalry, and the two sides started a bloody fight on the river embankment.

On the city wall of Yecheng, the old and hot Cao Cao half-closed his eyes, as if he was resting his mind. When the loud noise came from the sky, his expression changed immediately.

"Quickly, send the order to go down, abandon all the luggage and armor, take some weapons and a day's rations, and push out all the rafts, quickly.

After all, Feng Xiao did not disappoint me. He told the soldiers that whether they can break through depends on this time. The military division has already led reinforcements to meet us on the road, and we are going back to Xudu. "

As early as half a month before being killed, Cao Cao ordered the demolition of all houses in the city, felling of all trees and bamboos, and then using these timbers to build rafts.

Most people didn't understand why Cao Cao gave such an order, but everyone had to carry it out.

Cao Zhang once asked Cao Cao why he wanted to build a raft at this juncture, and all he got was Cao Cao's eyes.

In the end, Cao Cao couldn't help but mention this beloved son.It turned out that Cao Cao had deduced all the possibilities long ago.

If Guo Jia leads the army north to respond, in addition to attacking the enemy's logistics, Zhangshui and Weishui must also be key targets.

This pair of master and servant had long been familiar with each other's character, temper, and intelligence. Cao Cao was sure that Guo Jia would do this, and he himself planned to do the same.

Just now, Cao Zhang tried again and again, if Guo Jia didn't do this, or if he wanted to do it but failed, then the raft was built for nothing.As a result, he was once again looked at by Cao Cao.

"Ziwen, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. You have to be clear that the Zhangshui and Weishuis will definitely be dug up. Even if we don't go, Chen Feng will definitely go.

Therefore, the raft must be built in advance.If you defend for a long time, you will lose, and if you attack for a long time, you will be tired. When the frontal attack cannot take Yecheng, Chen Feng will definitely dig Zhangshui and Weishui.

Now, you should know why you have persisted in being a father until now, right?Hmph, if you don't know your enemy, you're wasting your men's lives for nothing. "

Cao Cao taught his son a cold lesson, leaving Cao Zhang stunned. Compared with his own father, he is really far behind.

Chapter 674

A flood came from the east and north of Yecheng respectively, covering tens of miles around, and many fertile fields were flooded.

The first wave of water washed away the camp of the army outside the city, although Gao Zhong had prepared in advance, but when the flood came, he realized that his preparation was insufficient.

Except for the [-] men he brought, most of the rest of the troops came from the north, especially the slaves, who were all from the grasslands and were not familiar with water. Even in water less than waist deep, they might drown.

Zhang He and Huang Zhong were even less prepared, but fortunately the place where they camped was on a higher terrain. Although a lot of food and grass had been washed away, as long as they moved quickly, they could still salvage a lot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Cao launched a surprise attack in the first time. In addition, there was no garrison at the South Gate, and Cao Cao's vanguard troops rushed out quickly.

Originally, Chen Feng dared to keep the south gate because he relied on the mobility of his cavalry. As long as Cao Jun left the city, even if they were allowed to run for a day, Chen Feng believed that his subordinates could catch up.

But after the flood, dozens of miles around became muddy, and many places were still submerged by water. In addition, Cao Cao broke through when the water was at its maximum.

The water came from the north and headed south. Cao Jun had enough rafts. It can be said that Cao Jun went down the river for the first few tens of miles.

Of course, many unlucky Cao Jun soldiers fell into the water, or some rafts became loose due to collisions, but generally speaking, the vast majority of Cao Jun escaped.

Among them, the most embarrassing thing is Han Rong who surrendered to Cao Cao. He is from Hebei, and most of his soldiers are from Hebei. At the beginning, they surrendered only after they believed that Cao Cao would take over Jizhou.

Now that Cao Cao is defeated and Jizhou is in a mess, under such circumstances, many soldiers are unwilling to continue to follow Cao Cao, after all, it is difficult to leave their homeland.

The most important thing is that during the defense of the city these days, these soldiers from Hebei Province clearly felt that Cao Cao was unfair to them.

Under such circumstances, except for Han Rong's cronies, the rest of the soldiers from Hebei wanted to stay. In addition, there were not enough rafts when breaking through, so Cao Cao gave priority to arranging his cronies. Most of the soldiers from Hebei would leave if they wanted to. no.

"Gather the soldiers, rescue those who fell into the water, come here, send people quickly to meet the two generals Wen Meng and Lu Xiao. They encountered floods after they went out to perform their missions, and now their lives and deaths are uncertain."

Gao Zhong was ordering his subordinates to do things. The flood disrupted all his plans. Yecheng was taken down, but Cao Jun escaped.

Wen Meng and Lu Xiao haven't come back yet, and they don't know how they are doing. Most importantly, Chen Feng is still confronting Guo Jia in the Pingyuan area, and there is no news from Ye City yet.

"Bo Yan, I will leave the camp here to you first. You are responsible for gathering soldiers, salvaging supplies, and appeasing the people. My brother and I will lead the army to hunt down Cao Jun now.

The foster father doesn't know the situation yet. I'm worried that Cao Cao will attack the foster father from the rear. Time is running out, so I'm leaving now. "

The [-] subordinates brought by Gao Zhong had followed him to fight in the north and south, and they had spent a lot of time on sea ships in these years, so there is nothing to say about their water quality.

Yan Cheng also counted 8000 elites in the shortest time, and [-] men drove the collected boats and rafts, chasing Cao Jun all the way.

"Go, go, brothers, Chen Feng will not let us go, go."

On the raft, Han Rong was struggling to support the boat under the command. He finally understood that Jizhou would definitely not be able to stay. According to the current situation, wherever Cao Cao went, he had to go there.

After all, he had already betrayed the Yuan family. Most of the soldiers from Hebei looked down on him, and some even hated him. If he surrendered to Chen Feng at this juncture, he felt that he would probably die in an ugly way.

Therefore, he could only choose to follow Cao Cao back to the Central Plains.Fortunately, apart from some cronies, he still has a bargaining chip in his hands, that is Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family, who has always been in his hands.

When he was besieged by Cao Jun, although Han Rong wanted to surrender, he didn't dare to bear such a crime, so he dragged Yuan Xi into the water, and pushed most of the crimes on Yuan Xi.

This is also the reason why he was able to win tens of thousands of Jizhou troops to surrender to Cao Cao. Many people mistakenly thought that Yuan Xi made them surrender.

By the time Yuan Xi realized it, he had already become Cao Cao's prisoner, and Han Rong had been sending people to watch him.

"Han Rong, you bastard, my Yuan family treats you well, why did you frame me like this, and want to harm my Yuan family like this, what benefit did Cao Cao give you?"

No matter how cowardly Yuan Xi was, he was still a little angry. After being deceived by Han Rong for so long, and now being guarded by Han Rong like a prisoner, he felt very uncomfortable.
