Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Three days later, dusk.

On the main road north of Fugou Water.

The 60,000-strong Wei army on foot and cavalry was heading towards Xuchang along the south road.

As Cao Cao was galloping on his horse, Xiahou Dun's voice and appearance always appeared in his mind.

When he thought of his brother, who died under Deng Mu's plan, Cao Cao felt like a knife was piercing his heart, and rage burned in his heart.

"Deng Mu, Deng Mu, you must not run away in fear. You must defend Xuchang."

"This time, I will kill you with my own hands to avenge my brother Yuan Rang!"

"Avenge my brothers and nephews who were killed by you!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.

At this moment, the scouts from the front rushed over and brought back the latest information.

On the north bank of Fugou Water in front, more than 4,000 Han cavalry were found, forming an array with their backs to the water.!

"Four thousand riders?"

"Array with your back against water?"

Cao Cao reined in his horse fiercely, and the vengeful anger in his eyes suddenly turned into suspicion.

According to his preconceptions, Deng Mu had only two options.

Either he heard that his army was attacking, and decisively abandoned Xuchang and retreated south to Kunyang. , waiting for Guan Yu to send troops to return for reinforcements.

Or he could shrink his troops in Xuchang and wait for reinforcements in 09.

Unexpectedly,

Deng Mu unexpectedly sent out cavalry to fight.

Still, he formed an array with his back to the water!

"What does that country man named Deng want to do?"

Cao Cao frowned, and there was deep suspicion in his eyes.

Guo Jia looked worried and said:

"Your Majesty, Deng Mu’s move is so abnormal that I feel it is necessary to guard against it."

"It is better to stop advancing first, camp the army on the spot, and find out the truth first."

Cao Cao was hesitant and had the idea of ​​stopping his progress.

After all, he had suffered too many losses at the hands of Deng Mu, so he couldn't have a long memory.

Deng Mu's unusual behavior really made him feel a little unsure.

"Your Majesty, you must not stop moving forward!"

"I guess this must be Deng Mu’s trick!"

"He deliberately sent troops to fight on his own initiative and arrayed himself against the water, just to make the king fearful and not dare to rush into the army rashly."

"He wants to delay our siege so that he can buy enough time for Liu Xing and Guan Yu's reinforcements to move south!"

"If we camp on the spot, we are playing into his hands!"

Cheng Yu sternly stopped him.

Cao Cao was shocked, suddenly realized, and couldn't help cursing:

"I knew that the country man must be playing some trick"

"It turns out that he was bluffing and wanted to delay my king's advance!"

"How can this king do what he wishes!"

Cao Cao immediately ordered that the army should not stop and continue to march southward.

The 60,000 Wei army continued to march southward in a mighty manner.

Half an hour later, the army came to Fugou Water.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, he saw a cavalry on the north bank of Fugou Water. Lions are standing in formation.

A flag with the word"Deng" flying in the setting sun

"Deng Ziqi?"

"Could it be that Deng Mu was leading the troops himself?"

Cao Cao's eyes were full of excitement.

If Deng Mu personally led the troops, that would be the best, playing into his hands.

Then he would be able to rush forward with the army at one go and annihilate Deng Mu directly in front of his eyes.

"Deng Mu would not put himself in danger, it should be his clan brother, the boy named Deng Ai"

"It was this person who deceived Yang Qiu and defrauded Xuchang!"

Cheng Yu saw through the reality of the leading Yan general.

When he heard that he was Deng Mu's clan brother, Cao Cao's eyes instantly turned red.

"That guy Deng Mu killed my brothers. I will kill one of his brothers today to pay homage to Yuan Rang’s spirit in heaven!"

Cao Cao's eyes were filled with murderous intent and he waved his riding whip:

"Send the order, attack with the whole army, and kill all the enemies!"

"We must capture Deng Ai alive, I will kill him with my own hands!"

The king's order was passed down.

The sound of murderous horns and the thundering sound of war drums suddenly sounded in the sky. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Sixty thousand Wei troops on foot and cavalry poured out like a torrent, Rushing toward the four thousand Yan cavalry.

The Yan army formed.

Deng Ai was standing on horseback with his spear drawn, looking at the oncoming Wei army from a distance. To be honest, he was a little frightened now.

Four thousand cavalry, against 60,000 enemy soldiers!

If this was just a moment, Something went wrong, and I am afraid that my life will be at stake here.

The trumpet sounded.

The 60,000 Wei army launched an attack aggressively.

The overwhelming tide of soldiers, like a torrent overflowing the wilderness, rushed toward him. Four thousand cavalry attacked

"Hold on! Hold on tight!"

Deng Ai clenched his silver gun and shouted sternly.

The four thousand Yanqi soldiers were all nervous.

Two hundred steps.

One hundred steps.

Fifty steps! []

Seeing that the enemy troops were about to rush forward.

Above their heads, one after another. The sharp arrows have been attacking like locusts.

The limit has been reached.

If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!

Deng Ai took a deep breath and shouted:

"The entire army obeyed the order and immediately withdrew across the south bank of Fugou River!"

The order was passed.

The four thousand Yan army cavalry turned around and waded across the river one after another, as if they had been granted amnesty.

Although they were extremely elite, one could count for ten, but they did not know Deng Mu's plan, and thought that their prime minister was really going to do it. Let them resist ten times the Wei army with four thousand people.

Everyone has made up their mind to die generously.

At the critical moment, this order to retreat gave them hope of survival.

So the four thousand soldiers and horses 440, They rushed away, and in a blink of an eye they ran through the water in Fugou that was just up to their knees.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has escaped!"

"Please let me lead the cavalry to attack and pursue the enemy cavalry!"

When Ma Chao saw Deng Ai trying to run away, he eagerly asked for a fight.

Before he finished speaking,

Cheng Yu said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, our army aims to cross the Fugou River and encircle Xuchang smoothly, not to annihilate this enemy cavalry."

"To guard against fraud, do not pursue blindly"

"Please give an order, your Majesty, to form a formation to cross the river, and not to disrupt the formation!"

Cheng Yu's reminder made Cao Cao calm down immediately.

"Zhongde reminded that if the enemy retreats without fighting, it is probably due to deception."

"Send an order and tell Le Jin and others to form a formation and cross the river steadily, and not to pursue too hastily!"

Ma Chao's fighting spirit was suppressed.

The order was quickly sent to the front.

Yue Jin's generals had no choice but to order their soldiers to reorganize and wade across the river at a turtle's speed.

When all Yanqi withdrew to the south bank, they were close. More than 30,000 Wei troops had just formed large and small military formations and entered the Fugou water.

"Everything is as expected by brother..."

Deng Ai sighed in admiration.

Then he made a move with his silver spear and shouted:

"Quickly light up the beacon smoke and send a signal to General Zilong!"

In the blink of an eye, three wolf smoke rose into the sky and rushed into the sky.
