Just as fierce battle broke out in Xinye City, the battle at the Bishui River mouth to the south was about to break out. More than 250 ferries were carrying more than 6,000 Cao army soldiers slowly coming from the north. The leader was the general Cao Hong.

Cao Hong held an iron spear in his hand and squatted at the bow of the first ferry, watching the situation on both sides of the river vigilantly. It was particularly quieter than the two sides of the water, covered with shrubs and grass, and even the sound of insects seemed to disappear. Only in his ears could he hear the rhythmic sound of wooden oars paddling in the water.

Although this kind of quietness is normal, Cao Hong still felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why he felt this uneasy. But at this time he had no time to experience it carefully, and the ferry had arrived at his destination.

"Look at General, Fort Dunsey!" a soldier whispered in a low voice, pointing to the distance.

Cao Hong also saw that hundreds of steps away, a dark castle stood in the gray-white night sky. At this time, the ferry slowly landed. A Cao army spy hiding in the bushes on the shore suddenly came out, frightening the Cao army soldiers on the boat, raised their crossbows to point them at the black shadows on the shore, and shouted: "Command!"

"Night Owl!"

This is the command tonight's action. Everyone was relieved. Cao Hong asked: "How is the situation in the enemy camp?"

"General Qibing, it's very quiet, everything is normal!"

Cao Hong looked back and saw that all the ferries were docked. He immediately ordered, "Go ashore and gather!"

A personal soldier beside him lit a torch and stretched out of the boat and swayed. The hundreds of ferries behind him saw the fire signal. The Cao army soldiers abandoned the boat and landed on the shore. Groups of figures swayed and quickly assembled on the narrow and long open space.

Cao Hong always stared at the castle. The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, but he didn't know what the problem was?

At this time, Deputy General Li Dian rushed to report, "General, the team has been assembled!"

Cao Hong hesitated and asked Li Dian: "General Li, do you think there is anything wrong with it?"

Li Dian pondered: "I just felt it was too quiet. I was not discovered by the patrol. It was a bit weird. Apart from that, no other abnormalities were found."

Cao Hong had already discovered this point, but it was normal to be quiet. The Wenpin Army's patrol should be in the north, and he did not expect the enemy to attack from the water.

"Time cannot be dragged any more. Leave five hundred people to watch the ship, and the rest of the army set off immediately!"

Cao Hong no longer hesitated and urged his horse to go. Teams of Cao's army left the river bank and followed him quickly to the enemy camp.

The Wenpinjun camp was about one mile away from the river and needed to pass through a narrow forest. When Cao's army passed through the forest, Cao Hong saw the camp not far away at a glance. Just two hundred steps away, surrounded by tall camp bars, with trenches and spears in front of them.

"Take five hundred brothers to open a road!" Cao Hong turned around and ordered Li Diandao.

"Abide by the order!"

Li Dian nodded, waved his hand and led the five hundred soldiers toward the enemy camp. The task of these five hundred soldiers was to fill a section of trench, pull out the spears and pull down several rows of camp fences, and prepare for the army to enter the enemy camp.

Li Dian led 500 soldiers to run all the way, and after a moment he ran to the side of the camp, quickly putting pieces of wooden boards onto the trench, and soldiers began to pull out dense spears.

Cao Hong watched the actions of hundreds of soldiers, so nervous that his heart was about to jump out. At this moment, a tooth general ran to him and whispered: "General, something is wrong! Why is the enemy not moving?"

Cao Hong was stunned. Something was wrong. He couldn't help but look at the castle. The dim and pale moonlight shone on the dark castle, with a bit of weirdness.

Cao Hong suddenly understood what was wrong just now. It turned out that there was no soul-summoning banner on the castle, not even a white banner. Liu Biao had only been dead for two or three days. How could there be no banner on the top of the city? It was either an empty city or an ambush.

He was shocked and quickly ordered: "Let them come back and retreat immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier pointed at the castle and shouted: "General, the beacon fire on the top of the city has been lit."

At the highest point of the castle, three pillars of fire rose into the air. This was obviously a signal. The north and west sides suddenly shouted loudly. Cao Hong was shocked and didn't care about Li Dian. He stood up and shouted: "Retreat back to the ship immediately!"

Cao's army was in chaos, turned around and ran towards the river bank, pushing each other, many people were pushed down and trampled, screaming everywhere, crying and shouting, "Don't panic, the enemy did not come!"

Cao's army slowed down a little and rushed all the way onto the ship. Just as most of the soldiers got on the ship, a clatter sound came from the other side, followed by arrows. I wonder how many crossbowmen were ambushed on the other side, and dense arrows roared. Cao's army was caught off guard and was shot one after another, screaming and falling into the water.

Even Cao Hong was shot in the left arm by a rifle arrow. He shouted in a hurry, "Hold the shield, the ship heads north immediately!"

At this time, Cao Hong had already understood that they were in ambush and did not know how many enemy troops were around. This fear of ignorance of the truth made Cao Hong panic.

But Cao Hong was experienced after all, and in this case, he had to judge the situation and find the opponent's weakness. He knew in his heart that the shore was no longer safe. The enemy had no ships, and only the river was the only safe place. This was the opponent's weakness. It was urgent to leave the river and head north.

Cao Jun used a shield to top the sides of the ship, forming a shield wall on both sides of the left and right. It was barely safe. The ferry left the shore and entered the river and began to return to the future.

But after walking less than half a mile, there was a noise in front of me, and the fire on the water surface was burning rapidly. The ships in the front were engulfed by the fire. The soldiers dived and escaped. The rest of the ships turned around and became a mess.

Cao Hong could see clearly from behind. He gritted his teeth with hatred. He forgot that the other party had turmeric oil and blocked the water surface with fire.

"Change! Go into the Han River!"

Cao Hong shouted loudly that it was only one mile away from the Han River. Hiding into Hanzhong was their last way to survive. The back of the Cao army's fleet turned into a front team and drove towards the Han River.

But less than a hundred steps away from the Han River, a huge warship suddenly appeared in front of them. On the ferry, Cao Jun screamed in shock, Cao Hong was also stunned, his heart was blank, and the Jiangxia Army's warships had not all retreated, why did it appear again?

A giant ship with two thousand stones slashed the waves and hit the ferry facing Cao Hong. Amid the screams, the big ship hit the ferry. The ferry was smashed into pieces, and the soldiers fell into the water one after another, and even Cao Hong fell into the water.

At this time, warships followed one after another, and hundreds of warships appeared at the mouth of Bishui River. They divided into two groups and sailed from both sides of more than 200 ferries. The tactics were obvious, and soon formed a huge elliptical encirclement, surrounding more than 200 ferries in the middle.

At this time, a large group of soldiers appeared on both sides, with 5,000 people on both sides. This was the army deployed by Wenpin. The warships and soldiers on the shore were like setting up nets of heaven and earth. Cao's army could not escape, and they had no choice but to surrender.

The fierce battle did not break out in the end, nor did it take a dramatic turn. Three hundred huge warships surrounded the city with iron walls, and the Cao army soldiers on more than 200 ferries in the middle were unable to fly. On top of their heads, more than 10,000 Jiangxia soldiers took their bows and arrows and pointed them at them.

Liu Jing stood at the bow of the main ship and shouted sternly to the Cao army ship in the river: "I am Liu Jing, Jiangxia, and you have no way out. You can surrender. If you dare to resist again, I will not forgive you. The Han River will be where you die!"

Cao Hong fell into the water and was unknown. There was only Li Dian, the deputy general in the ferry. Hundreds of eyes looked at him together. Li Dian sighed, "Tell me my order, brothers, put down their weapons and surrender!"

More than 5,000 Cao's soldiers put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

At the mouth of the river, Cao Hong paddled desperately in the water. He wanted to swim into the Han River, but his water quality was not good. He swam for more than 300 steps and was exhausted. At this time, the dark river water was everywhere, and he could not find the shore. Cao Hong was so scared that he was scattered. While filling the water with big mouthfuls, he shouted desperately, "Help! Save my life!"

It was also his life that he should not have been defeated. At this time, a Jiangxia army's outer patrol ship discovered him and slowly approached. More than ten Jiangxia soldiers were waiting on the ship. When approaching Cao Hong, more than a dozen spears stabbed him together, and Cao Hong was so scared that he shouted: "I am the chief general, spare my life!"

The soldiers were very happy and hooked him with hooks, dragged Cao Hong onto the boat with all his hands and feet, and then tied him up with ropes.

According to Mao Jie's plan of virtuality, Cao Hong's attack on the Wenpin army camp should have been a virtual attack, with the purpose of attracting Jiangxia guards from Fancheng to rescue Wenpin.

It should be said that Mao Jie was very considerate. Wen Pin had just surrendered to Liu Jing. If he was in danger, Fan Cheng would definitely send troops to rescue Wen Pin. There was no problem in theory.

Therefore, Cao Ren led three thousand cavalrymen to ambush in a dense forest halfway, with open official road ahead. Once reinforcements arrive, three thousand cavalry suddenly attacked and wiped out the Jiangxia army. Then the cavalry turned around and attacked the Wenpin army. No matter how elite the Wenpin army was, it was hard to resist being attacked from both sides, and it would eventually be the fate of defeat.

To this end, Cao Ren has made careful arrangements. If the enemy is not prepared, eight out of ten will fall into the trap. At this time, Cao Ren is full of expectations. If this battle is won, the entire Jingzhou will surely disintegrate people.

However, as time went by, Cao Ren's confidence was also gradually decreasing. In the woods, three thousand cavalry had been waiting for nearly an hour. The war horses and soldiers were a little impatient. The low sound of war horses and the sound of soldiers drawing their swords were constantly heard.

"Master, no accident will happen!" Cao Ren whispered to Mao Jie beside him.

Mao Jie bit his lips, and there was an unconcealed anxiety in his eyes. Deng Saicheng's beacon fire ignited for half an hour, but there was still no movement on Fancheng. This exceeded his psychological time limit, and he felt something was not good in his heart.

"Wait a little longer!" Mao Jie whispered, his tone was no longer confident, which made Cao Ren clearly feel his shaken.

Cao Ren frowned and looked eastward. He didn't know how the battle in Dengsai City was tens of miles away?

At this moment, a Cao army scout rushed over on a horse and shouted from a distance: "General, something is not good!"

Cao Ren's heart suddenly hangs. What does it mean to be a big deal? He immediately went up to him and asked, "What's the situation over Bishui?"

The scout panted and said, "Hundreds of warships from the Jiangxia army appeared and surrounded General Cao. Our army has been wiped out."

The last sentence was like a thunderous sound. Cao Ren seemed to be stunned by the explosion. He didn't react for a while. Mao Jie's face turned pale in an instant. Liu Jing did not leave at all. They got into the trap set by each other.

Cao Ren sighed and turned around and asked Mao Jie, "Master, what should we do?"

Mao Jie said in a trembling voice: "Retreat quickly!"
