Chapter five hundred and eighty third run

Many Cao army prisoners regardless of the cheers of the soldiers in Jingzhou jumped from the boat into the waist-deep water and ran towards his position. When the Jingzhou military ship slowly moved closer, the prisoners cried and held up Cao Ren's body and carried it to a dry place where the reeds were densely packed.

Zhan Yan stood at the bow of the boat and looked for a while, and ordered the soldiers around him to drive away the prisoners and cut off Cao Ren's head.

Chen Feng hurriedly said to him: "Cao Zixiao is a famous general of the world. He died in a sigh of relief and did not lose his heroic spirit. Why should he insult his body again?"

Zhan Yan was about to say something again, and seeing the eyes of many prisoners, he suddenly knew that if this continued, he would not provoke the Cao army to fight against the trapped beasts, so he changed his words and said, "It is time to properly place it."

The two immediately transferred a military ship to clean up Cao Ren's body, and ordered the strict orders to send it to General Guan to the General Office. They also ordered the prisoners to select a few people to take care of them along the way.

In addition, they patted a lot of soldiers with loud voices, rode on the water in a fastboat, shouting everywhere: "Cao Ren is dead! Cao Ren is dead!"

The soldiers of Jingzhou soldiers who heard them from all sides were all ecstatic and shouting.

In a short while, the news spread throughout the battlefield.

Cao Ren's status is extremely valuable. In recent years, he has clearly surpassed many of his peers in the Xiahou family and Cao family, and has become the chief of the famous generals of his relatives. Since he joined the army, he has shared joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and led by the soldiers when fighting. He also has strict discipline in the army, rewards for his contributions and punished for his mistakes, so he has been deeply supported by his soldiers.

When it rains in summer, it has proved his prestige to be able to drive soldiers from the north to the south and fight against the humid and heavy rain.

The news of his death in battle made the Cao army no longer have any intention of resisting. Many people originally struggled among the water plants and reeds, but they had no trace of the Jingzhou army at all. Now they threw away their weapons and climbed to a high place to sit.

When the Jingzhou navy came to shelter, these people were like walking corpses, in a daze.

Ding Feng pressed the knife and stared at them fiercely.

Most of the trusted subordinates who followed him to Jianghuai to support the war died in Runan by Cao's army. One of them was the trusted subordinates left by his uncle Ding Li, who Ding Feng regarded them as his elders, and at this moment, less than one or two of them survived.

Ding Feng himself was actually injured. His left rib was bandaged and he could twitch the muscles here even if he simply walked, causing a burst of pain. After seeing this, several doctors said that they could resist by relying on their body to be strong, but they could not get any water during the process.

He was really eager to avenge his subordinates, and he begged Lei Yuan for several days without hesitation, so he got the opportunity to follow the army. Unexpectedly, when his ship arrived, Cao's army was already like this.

This group of people...killing these groups of people is simply a shame to me! But if you don’t kill them, it will be impossible to eliminate my hatred!

He subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife and repeatedly unsheathed it into the sheath, so his teeth would be quainted.

Standing side by side with Ding Feng was Chen Hong, who was responsible for leading the Yidu County military ship. Seeing his strange expression, Chen Hong hurriedly advised: "Captain Ding should not be fooled, the sect leader cannot tolerate killing prisoners!"

Ding Feng cursed hatefully: "Cao Ren died too early!"

Chen Hong patted Ding Feng on the shoulder and arranged to collect the prisoners.

Time passed quickly, the sky became darker and the rain gradually stopped. The war stopped on the continuous water surface, and only the turbid waves swayed slightly, shaking the gray-white corpses floating on the water surface one after another. The hideous faces seemed to make silent screams towards the sky.

On the north side of this water area, through the continuous reeds, Cao Zhang saw Jingzhou military ships dock one after another. The lights on the boat shone through the mist, reflecting the water surface, and shining ripples.

A strong smell of burnt smell came from the direction of Jiangling City. It should be that the Jingzhou army was burning the bodies of the dead. The thick black smoke was mixed with smoke from cooking, and the aroma of the cooked grains... It was probably that a fleet that was searching deep into Shuize was cooking.

When Cao Zhang smelled this smell, his anger was about to break through his chest, but his stomach and intestines were squirming uncontrollably, making a slight gurgling sound.

After Cao Ren found Cao Zhang and Cao Xiu, he immediately urged them to evacuate north and transferred several township leaders from his team to them.

Both of them said that they should advance and retreat with their uncle. Cao Renze said, "When you go and ask the Prime Minister to send a rescue army as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will die here in battle."

Although Cao Zhang and Cao Xiu are relatives, they are not ignorant people. The current cavalry team is running around regardless of their concern and will not delay any further.

A moment after they set off, the main force of the Cao army retreated like the sky and the earth. Such a large-scale retreat created too many targets worthy of arrest for the Jingzhou army. The Jingzhou army's water and land divisions were busy searching for mountains and seas, but they did not pay attention to tracking the first batch of enemies who left.

Despite this, they still ran into Jingzhou warships several times while running away.

At that time, arrows roared on the ship and attacked the cavalry team. When the situation was the most dangerous, Cao Xiu led a team of people to squat in the water, revealing his eyes and nose, trying to dive nearby to seize the ship. Unexpectedly, the ship was moving quickly, and when Cao Xiu jumped out of the water, the distance was not accurate, but his companions became targets of arrows.

In an instant, dozens of soldiers were caught in the arrow. Cao Xiu's helmet was shot through by a heavy arrow, and the arrows penetrated straight into his hair bun, just half an inch away from piercing the top door.

Seeing that they were about to die, Cao Zhang led another group of troops to rescue him, and tried his best to force the enemy to retreat and save Cao Xiu's life. They even took a small boat, but unfortunately they were unable to capture the sailors in Jingzhou. The people around them were not able to drive the boat, so they could only throw it away.

Two hours later, Cao Zhang and others ran dozens of miles away before they felt that they had left the Jingzhou army and stopped a little.

Half of the cavalry teams following them were missing, and many of them were trapped in the swamp mud and died silently. The remaining people threw away all heavy items such as armor and armor. Even so, they could not help but roll and crawl, and their bodies were covered with dirty mud.

Fortunately, the grass and trees are lush among the water and the horses eat grass and rest, and their spirits are recovered. If the clouds bloom tonight, they can continue to rush through the light of stars and moons.

"Ziwen! Ziwen!" Cao Xiu was dripping with mud and water, and walked around a bush of short trees: "I just asked, there is no way to go between Maicheng through the water. To the east is Jingling and to the north is Jingcheng. These two cities are located in Gaofu, and you can gallop along the way."

"Jingling is right next to Yangshui. Are you looking for death now?" Cao Zhang shook his head: "Let's go to Jingcheng. There are food and fodders in Jingcheng, and there are a small number of defenders. Let's go there for a little rest and then discuss the next step!"

Cao Xiu repeatedly said: "Okay! OK!"

He immediately ordered the knights to get on the horse, turned around and encouraged Cao Zhang, "Ziwen, today we are not defeated by the war, but we have been trapped by the thief army. In the future, we will definitely take revenge."

Cao Zhang nodded slightly and did not answer.

He thought to himself that if Cao Wenlie really thought that the enemy was just winning by a treacherous plan, he might not be a general.
