The rushing river is not endless, but one impact is enough to turn the chaotic battlefield into a hell on earth.

Most of the soldiers and horses under the command of Cao Hong and others are northern men. Not to mention water fighting, they can't even dog paddle. When they enter the water, they will drift with the tide like that bastard without a shell.

Although the river calmed down quickly, not many of them were drowned, but they were so embarrassed that they completely lost the ability to resist.

"General, let's go!"

The critical moment was when Xu Huang discovered that something was wrong. He immediately led his troops to retreat to higher ground before the river water arrived. When the river water appeared, he immediately discovered that the water seemed to be rushing but had insufficient back-up force.

When the water calmed down a bit, he immediately led his troops to attack, seized several small boats by force, and hurriedly rowed in the direction of Cao Hong and others.

Hope to rescue them.

But since Zhuge Liang has laid out such a big game, how can Xu Huang destroy it so easily?

The soldiers and horses surrounding them from all directions, the rain of arrows in the sky, and the rolling waves of the river put Cao Jun in a dilemma of life and death.

Even though Xu Huang, Li Tong and others were brave enough to be proud of the world, they were defeated here by a group of "unknown young generals" and suffered heavy casualties.

On the other side, Zhuge Liang, who was rushing on his way, still had a calm expression on his face, and even felt a bit regretful.

"According to Liang's idea, we will delay the front line in Xiyang County for at least half a year, so that Jingzhou will enter the Huangmei rainy season.

When the Huangmei rainy season has just entered, the river water will slowly rise, and we will store water upstream and build a dam in advance to save the river water and accumulate water potential.

In half a year, I can completely wipe out the mood of Cao Zilian and others, and more than half a year...

The food and baggage we are waiting for will also reach its peak."

Kong Ming's words made Kou Feng and Huo Jun on the side nod slightly.

"In this way, we won't arouse their suspicion if we evacuate again." Huo Jun already understood Zhuge Liang's thoughts and agreed, "In this way, Wei Yan and others will actually destroy it...

”

"It's not considered sabotage." Zhuge Liang chuckled, "Originally Liang's idea was to let Cao's army maintain its strength, and then after destroying its main force in one battle, he would join forces with the Jiangdong Sun family in Xuzhou and Yangzhou to force Cao Mengde back.

But now the plans of Wen Chang and Shi Yuan have given Liang a new plan... Runan County is the largest county in Yuzhou, and it has been the land of farming under Cao Mengde all year round.

The life of the people in Runan County is not satisfactory, but the population is large, which is also the purpose of Wen Chang and Shi Yuan's plan.

They want to use the young men from Runan County to completely annihilate Cao Hong's troops. At least 200,000 young men from Runan County will be mobilized.

In just over a month, Cao Hong's army had an additional 200,000 men... and they were all young and strong.

These people cannot be used or driven away. If they were used, it would be 200,000 people's food and grass. The food and grass alone would be able to completely defeat their Runan Cao army every day.

Even with Xun Wenruo's support, he can't resist for long.

But if we directly drive away 200,000 people... If we are not careful, Runan will be completely in chaos. Then your army will also be in chaos!

So this is a good strategy, but it’s a bit too unscrupulous.”

"Sir...do you want to swallow these 200,000 young men?" At this time, Kou Feng suddenly thought of this possibility. After finishing speaking, he couldn't believe it himself.

"Why not?" Compared to Kou Feng and Huo Jun, who were stunned at this moment, Zhuge Liang had a plain smile on his face, "Shi Yuan and Wen Chang finally achieved this step.

Two hundred thousand young people were sent to Xinxi, to the end of the line where I was waiting, and I am afraid that I will never have the chance to use this plan a second time in my life.

In this case...why not maximize the benefits?"

".....Are you sure, sir?"

"Then it depends on how miserable Cao Hong will be in this battle." Kong Ming chuckled, and the army speeded up again and rushed towards the agreed battlefield.

In the midst of the fighting, Xu Huang and Li Tong led their soldiers and horses to continuously attack the warships and enemy troops surrounding them. However, no matter how hard they rushed, they still could not get out of the conflict.

In the end, they had no choice but to move their troops to a high hill and then rely on the hill to defend!

"What can I do if I wait here and defend? Isn't it just sitting there waiting for death!"

Cao Hong looked at Liu Beijun who surrounded them, his expression gloomy and hard to see.

"Then we have no choice but to stick to the danger for the time being and try our best to delay it!" Xu Huang also looked helpless at this time.

"How long can we defend even if we defend to the death?" Cao Hong was full of impatience at this time, "Now our army has completely lost its morale, and has almost completely lost its food, grass and baggage.

In this case, how long can I wait?"

"Guard as long as you can!" Xu Huang suddenly shouted, "Now that we have reached this point, is it possible that we will betray our master and surrender to the thieves in this small land of Jiangxia?

General Zilian, now we no longer want to say what is right or wrong, nor do we want to dwell on what this is.

The only plan for now is to hold on to the end. We don’t know what’s going on with Wen Qian, and we don’t care what happens to us at the back..."

When Xu Huang said this, he could no longer continue. The current situation had become so rotten that all of them had no idea. The soldiers had no morale, the army had no food and grass, and there was no hope of breaking out. The rest could only be left to

God’s will!

Cao Hong looked around at Liu Bei's army who was besieging them again, at the soldiers under his command who had their heads lowered and remained silent, and finally at Xu Huang and Li Tong behind him, and then he let out a sad smile.

"Pfft~" There was a muffled sound, and the sword blade in Cao Hong's hand pierced directly into the neck of the war horse under his crotch. The screams of the war horse reached everyone's ears, and the warm blood sprayed out directly, spraying him

Full of head and face...

Looking at the BMW White Crane, which had followed him for several years and led him out of countless difficulties, his eyes were closed in pain.

"The name of this horse is White Crane, and it is the object of Cao's deepest love. When the flood just came, Hong relied on this horse to escape and ascend to heaven!

But... today Cao Hong of a certain family personally killed this horse to show his determination to defend this place and never retreat!"

Cao Hong's voice reached the ears of all the soldiers, causing shock and a special look of unknown meaning to appear in the eyes of those soldiers whose morale was extremely low.

"Come here, peel off the skin and bones of this horse!" Cao Hong roared directly at the guards beside him, "Give the meat of this horse to the soldiers to eat!"

"From today on, as long as one person in the army has not eaten, Cao will never eat!
