Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

In front of.

Cao Ren reined in his horse suddenly, looking in disbelief at the Han army blocking the road ahead, his whole body frozen on his horse.

The 50,000 Qin soldiers who were rushing forward stopped one after another as if they had seen a ghost.

The originally burning belief in survival collapsed in an instant and was replaced by endless fear.

The Qin army was in great chaos!

Generals such as Le Jin and Zhu Ling hurriedly stopped their horses and stared in amazement at the massive Han army in front of them.

Yang Xiu and Xun You also stopped where they were, staring ahead with their mouths wide open in astonishment.

"How is this possible? How is this possible..."

Yang Xiu's face turned as pale as paper, his whole body was shaking violently, and his eyes were wide open to the point of bursting.

The Fenshui ferry, which was supposed to be empty of troops, was actually stationed with a large number of Han troops!
The flying Chinese imperial flag further proves that it was Liu Bei who personally led the army here.

But shouldn't Liu Bei be in the South Camp at this time, waiting for Xun You's mutiny to open the gate and welcome his army into the city?

Why did Liu Bei appear at the Fenshui Ferry?
Even if Liu Bei noticed something was wrong and knew that they were going to break out from the north gate, he would not rush to Fenshui to block them so quickly!

Could it be possible that Liu Bei and his army grew wings and flew directly ahead of them?
Thousands of thoughts buzzed in Yang Xiu's mind, and finally an idea that almost made him despair came to his mind:

Liu Bei saw through his plan!
It must be that Xiao Fang saw through Xun You's plan of feigning surrender and calculated that they would break out from the north gate, so he went along with it.

Liu Bei was not in the South Camp at all.

This big-eared thief led a large army early in the morning and quietly arrived at the Fenshui ferry to set up defenses, waiting for them to run into their guns.

There were only 10,000 soldiers left in the North Camp, which was deliberately done by Liu Bei, just to make them think that the plan was successful and to feel at ease to break out to the north.

Everything was Xiao Fang's strategy of taking advantage of the situation!
"Impossible! My plan is flawless. How could that country bumpkin see through it?"

"Even if that guy is a god, he can't be so omniscient, right?"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it—"

Yang Xiu went crazy.

His remaining pride and arrogance were ruthlessly shattered by the scene before him. His entire spirit collapsed and he screamed hysterically as if he was on the verge of collapse.

Cao Ren froze in place, his sword tightly clenched in his hand, despair and grief instantly enveloping his whole body.

"Why is this happening?"

"Is it really God's will to destroy Cao Ren?"

The Qin army was huddled together in panic, unable to advance or retreat, and was plunged into chaos.

At this time.

In the center of the Han army, Liu Bei signaled to Zhao Yun beside him.

Zhao Yun then jumped on his horse and held his spear in front of the battle array, shouting loudly:
"Listen, Cao Ren. Xun You's plan of feigning surrender has already been seen through by our emperor."

"At this moment, Guo Huai has surrendered the South Gate and let our army enter the city. Jinyang City has become the property of the Han Dynasty."

"You and your fifty thousand soldiers have no way to escape."

"My emperor is giving you a chance to live. Give up resistance, dismount and surrender, and I will spare your life!"

"If you insist on resisting, I will kill you today!"

Zhao Yun's words of persuasion to surrender were domineering and cold, echoing across the wilderness like thunder.

The 50,000 Qin soldiers were terrified and panicked again.

Cao Ren felt as if his heart was hit by a heavy hammer, and he quickly turned around to look in the direction of Jinyang City behind him.

really.

In the morning light, a flag with Chinese characters had been raised on the top of Jinyang’s north gate.

On the road behind him, dust and fog rolled up, covering the sky and approaching, as if thousands of soldiers were following him.

This means that Jinyang City has fallen, and at least 50,000 Han troops are chasing from the south.

"Guo Huai, General of the Cavalry, it was that fellow Guo Huai who defected to Liu Bei and betrayed us—"

Yang Xiu was suddenly awakened and shouted hoarsely at Cao Ren.

Cao Ren was shocked again, and suddenly he came to his senses.

He finally understood.

Why was Xun You's false surrender, seemingly flawless, actually seen through by Liu Bei?

It turned out that it was Guo Huai, the traitor who secretly threw himself into the arms of Liu Bei and betrayed their entire plan.

No wonder Guo Huai volunteered to lead his troops to cover the rear and hold the South Gate to delay time.

They are not here to cover your retreat. They just want to leave your main force quietly so that they can open the city gates and let the Han army in.

"Guo Huai, you shameless bastard, how dare you play tricks on me, how dare you be so shameless as to surrender to the enemy~~"

Cao Ren gritted his teeth and roared.

Xun You beside him sighed bitterly and said helplessly:
"Guo Huai is from Bingzhou and has only been in the Qin Empire for a year. How could he be loyal to the Qin Empire?"

"General Hussar, we were wrong and trusted the wrong person!"

The truth was finally deduced by Xun Xiu.

Cao Ren suddenly woke up.

Regret, grief, anger, hatred...all kinds of negative emotions, like a mountain pressing down on his head, almost broke Cao Ren's spirit.

"General, Liu Bei has only 50,000 soldiers blocking our way. If we fight to the death, we may be able to seize the ferry and escape across the Fen River!"

"We can't wait any longer. If the enemy troops behind us attack us, we'll be finished!"

Xun You shouted excitedly.

Cao Ren's heart was shocked again, and his belief in survival was once again awakened by Xun You's voice.

"You're right, we still have a chance!"

Cao Ren took a deep breath, suppressed his despair, pointed his long sword forward, and roared:
"Great Qin soldiers, we still have hope!"

"Follow me and defeat the Han army. Then we can cross the Fen River!"

"If you want to live, charge!"

This hoarse roar temporarily dispelled the fear and despair in the hearts of the 50,000 Qin soldiers and rekindled a glimmer of hope for life for them.

"If you want to live, follow me!" Le Jin shouted with gritted teeth, and was the first to rush forward with a knife in hand.

The rest of the Qin generals, including Zhu Ling, also made up their minds, gritted their teeth, and rushed forward.

The 50,000 Qin soldiers mustered their last will to survive, roared and howled like trapped beasts, and launched another charge.

Fifty thousand trapped beasts rushed towards the Han army in formation regardless of everything.

"Cao Ren, are you really going to continue to resist?"

Liu Bei's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he whipped his horse whip:
"Zilong, retreat. Send a message to Jiang Qin. The Crossbow Battalion will resist the enemy!"

Zhao Yun turned his horse and returned to the battle formation.

The command flags were waving and the war drums were beating.

The three thousand crossbowmen under the command of Jiang Qin quickly rushed to the front of the battle.

At one command, three thousand crossbows were fired at the same time.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A roar like a violent storm suddenly sounded, drowning out the shouts and clamor of thousands of troops.

Ten arrows fired in succession!

In an instant, thirty thousand sharp arrows formed a dense wall of arrows and pushed towards the oncoming Qin army.

The Qin soldiers who were rushing forward were all horrified.

After breaking through the northern camp of the Han army, they had already discarded their heavy equipment such as helmets and shields in order to escape with light equipment.

At this time, they had nothing but the weapons in their hands to block the rain of sharp arrows.

The 50,000 Qin soldiers could only wildly wave their ring-handled swords to block the oncoming rain of arrows.

How could it be possible to stop it?

The next moment, a rain of arrows came.

Countless screams were heard, thousands of columns of blood flew into the air, and countless Qin soldiers were nailed to the ground in groups like being mowed, and their lives were harvested.

The sound of the storm ended.

Cao Ren put down his knife exhaustedly, looked around, and took a breath.

Corpses were scattered all over the ground and ghosts were howling.

After this round of crossbow fire from the Han army, nearly 3,000 of his soldiers were pinned to the ground, with heavy casualties.

The key point is that these 3,000 casualties were caused in an instant, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the army.

The courage that the Qin army had finally mustered was shattered by this round of arrow rain.

The surviving Qin army retreated step by step, and no one dared to move forward, fearing that another round of arrows from the Han army would follow.

"Push it to me!"

"Don't stop. We can only survive if we break through the Han army!"

Cao Ren became anxious and shouted hoarsely while waving his long sword.

However, Qin Jun's mentality was broken, and no matter how loudly he shouted, he still hesitated to move forward.

Han army formation.

Liu Bei raised his whip again and pointed at the Qin army:
"All generals, listen up, the whole army is pressing forward, and we will wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop!"

The horn for the general attack sounded.

The 50,000 soldiers in formation moved with a loud bang, like a breaking torrent, rushing towards the retreating Qin army.

Ma Chao and Zhang Liao each led 5,000 Han cavalrymen, and they rushed out from both wings and crashed into the flanks of the Qin army first.

The cavalry rolled in, crushing the enemy formation in an instant.

Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, each like an indestructible blade, charged forward and chopped down the blocking Qin soldiers like ants.

"Form a formation, re-form a formation, and stop the enemy!"

In the chaos of the army, Le Jin waved his long sword and shouted hoarsely at the Qin army to resist the enemy.

The Qin army was in chaos, no one obeyed his orders, and they ran around like headless flies.

"Don't move, form a formation for me—"

"Le Jin, you bastard, I want your life!"

A thunderous roar made Le Jin's scalp numb and his heart trembled.

When he looked up, he saw a man and a horse rushing towards him in the blood mist.

“Ma…Ma Chao?”

Le Jin blurted out the name, his face changed in shock.

As brave as he was, he ran into Ma Chao of Xiliang in such a desperate situation and was greatly frightened and confused.

Ma Chao rode his horse as fast as the wind, chopping down the Qin soldiers blocking his way like grass. Before Le Jin could react, he had already stood in front of Le Jin like an iron tower.

The blood-stained silver spear in his hand, filled with rage for revenge, stabbed wildly at Le Jin.

Le Jin certainly knew how strong Ma Chao's martial arts were, but in the current situation, it was impossible for him to escape, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on with his sword.

"Ma Chao, you traitor~~"

With a roar of gnashing teeth, Le Jin hastily swung the long sword in his hand to chop forward.

The sword has not yet been swung, but the spear has already arrived.

"puff!"

Le Jin's chest was pierced, and his huge body was knocked off his horse and fell heavily to the ground.

"Vulnerable!"

Ma Chao snorted disdainfully and cut off Le Jin's head and hung it up.

The bloody eagle eyes glared around.

The Qin soldiers on both sides were all frightened by his divine power and fled in all directions.

Ma Chao, who was blinded by rage, scanned the chaotic army with his bloodshot eyes and finally found a familiar figure.
