Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard from the other side of Cao Jun’s camp!

In the flickering light of the fire, I saw a group of cavalry mixed with infantry. They completely ignored the fighting on Gan Ning's side and ran straight towards Xiangyang Bridge!

The Xiangyang Bridge, across the Han River, was originally an important passage connecting Fancheng and Xiangyang. If Liu Biao's original plan had been followed, even if Cao Jun came, he would have to cross Xinye first, then block it with Fancheng, and finally reach Xiangyang.

Therefore, Liu Biao had no intention of demolishing the Xiangyang Bridge from the beginning.

However, what he didn't expect was that Cao Jun did not take the route of Xinye Fancheng at all. Instead, he passed directly through Bishui to the foot of Xiangyang City. In Fancheng, northwest of Xiangyang, there was no general stationed there. Secondly, he was probably caught off guard and failed to target him.

How did Cao Jun respond to the attack?

Therefore, Liu Biao's three lines of defense against Cao Cao were now reduced to the last one, the North Camp of Xiangyang City. To reach the North Camp of Xiangyang City, naturally, one must first pass through the Xiangyang Bridge.

I had previously considered whether to destroy the bridge, but firstly, the number of Cao Cao's troops seemed to be small. Secondly, destroying the bridge also meant cutting off the road. It was even equivalent to automatically ceding Fancheng and the area north of Fancheng to Cao Cao. This was very important to Cao Cao.

For the already low morale of Jingzhou soldiers, this was undoubtedly another blow.

Therefore, the Xiangyang Bridge was not touched, but I didn't expect that Cao Jun's counterattack would be so fast, even a little incredible!

After Shen Mi was stunned for a moment, he immediately patted the wooden stacks on the camp wall, "It's broken! Quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Mi felt a sharp chill on his lower back, like a piece of ice sticking to his skin, and then a sharp pain hit him the next moment!

Shen Mi howled subconsciously, and then instinctively punched back, but the punch missed. He reached out and touched his lower back. In addition to the biting cold, he only felt a slippery patch.

"you……"

Shen Mi's eyes widened and he stared at the guard standing behind him, the personal guard who had followed him all the way from Sichuan and Sichuan to Jingxiang.

The other guards also looked at all this in surprise. One guard asked blankly, "A-Cheng, what are you doing..."

Before anyone could react, the person who took action gritted his teeth and shouted: "Do it!"

Immediately, more than a dozen people rushed up, wielding swords and guns, and surrounded Shen Mi's remaining personal guards. In the blink of an eye, blood and flesh were flying everywhere!

Shen Mi felt that all the energy in his body seemed to be disappearing through the wounds, but he still didn't understand, and shouted with anger, "Why? Why?!"

"It's because you are ignorant! In such a troubled world, we don't want to end up here!" The man who made the move shook his hands, "You want to retreat to the mountains and forests, but where will you put us?! We risked our lives to protect you all the way from Sichuan to Sichuan.

Did I come out just to go back to the bushes with you one day? If you don’t want the gold and silver, no problem, give it to us, but you have to give it back! You have completely forgotten how we got to where we are today! You want it?

If you want to go back to seclusion, I will send you back today!"

Shen Mi was stunned, "When I asked you, you didn't say..."

"What do we say? What do we say? The benefits and reputation are all yours. What can we say..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Shen Mi roared fiercely, and actually pulled out the sharp short blade from his waist. He rushed towards the man with a bloody light, grabbed him, and then the knife flashed. If you move, it will be plunged in!

The people nearby were shocked by Shen Mi for a moment, and by the time they reacted, they were unable to rescue him.

However, the knife in Shen Mi's hand stopped in front of the man, and the blood on the tip of the knife dripped on the man's face and flowed down the man's face.

"Hehe, hehe..." Shen Mi laughed twice, "I really thought... you and I are like brothers..."

Shen Mi pushed the man away, then looked up to the sky and laughed, "Brother..." Before he could finish his words, the other people had already swarmed up, raised their swords and guns, and stabbed Shen Mi thoroughly, and then brutally With a sharp knife, Shen Mi's head was chopped off, and Shen Mi's blood gushed out, covering the heads and bodies of everyone around him!
