When Xu Rong was in Bianshui, he was thinking about how to deal with the enemy day and night. He looked at the Bian Canal and suddenly remembered the story of Xiang Guo retreating with a dike during the Battle of Meiyang, and immediately decided to build a dike upstream of the Bian Canal.
In order to make the plan successful, Xu Rong carefully selected the site and built the dike on the shady side of Aoshan. Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang on the other side could not be seen, and it was even harder for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to know. While the coalition forces were wading through the water, Dong Yue destroyed the dam according to the plan.
They then sent King Li Meng to lead an ambush force to fight out from Aoshan. When the coalition forces saw it, their morale collapsed in an instant.
The turbulent waves of the river rolled southward along the Bian Canal. The Liang people who were looting and killing were still two miles away, but the waves had already surged in front of the coalition forces. The soldiers in the canal were like ants. They were constantly fighting and pulling, trying to escape
Before the tide comes, they run out of the ditch. Those with horses ride on the soldiers climbing the wall in front of them. Those with armor are disarming themselves as quickly as possible, hoping to be less burdensome when entering the water. However, this only takes half an hour, and a wave covers it.
After crossing the canal, they were all submerged. They rolled in the water like sand, colliding with each other, until the climax disappeared at the end of the Bian Canal, and almost ten thousand soldiers just floated in the river.
After the storm hit the shore, there were some soldiers who were lucky enough not to drift away. They kept struggling to call for help on both sides of the bank, but most of them were wearing iron armor. They lost strength after a while and sank to the bottom of the water and drowned. When the soldiers on both sides saw
At this scene, both sides are fighting, and the bile is frightened.
The flood cut off things and the coalition forces could not count on them. How could the cavalry on the west bank dare to fight? Regardless of Cao Cao's military order, they scattered in all directions and fled in panic. When Bao Tao led the vanguard, he wore black iron armor and gold spikes.
Belt, he tried to pull his subordinates back, but was targeted by Liang Qi.
A row of random arrows flew over from the side, and one arrow shot into the right flank of Bao Tao's mount. The shaft of the arrow was completely gone, leaving only the feather ends dyed red by the horse's blood. His horse tilted sideways to the left.
, and threw him down.
Bao Tao rolled on the ground a few times and was feeling dizzy. The Liang riders were already rushing to rush over with their horses. More than ten riders came at once, their horses' heads were squeezed together, and the people in front started to rush.
He jumped off his horse and rushed forward to cut off his head. The person in front grabbed Bao Tao, who was still breathing, lifted his pocket, and cut the short knife back and forth along his neck. Unexpectedly, another person grabbed Bao Tao from behind and snatched him before he could do anything.
He pulled the fallen head over and chopped it randomly with a knife. Blood splattered everywhere, and he chopped off the head alive and snatched it away.
Bao Tao died so miserably, and the cavalry's vanguard completely collapsed. There were no more coalition knights to resist Liang Ren.
Xu Rong rode his horse to the vanguard, urging them not to care about their heads and to continue fighting forward. But a mile further forward, there was Cao Cao's martial arts flag.
At this time, Cao Cao was surrounded by relatives and yelled at the fleeing knights, but no one listened. In the rain and mist, he felt that the armor on his body was damp, hot and boring, and his words had no power. He could only lower his head and remain silent like a piece of loess soaked by rain.
.
Cao Ren advised him: "We have already been defeated, so we should try to escape." Cao Cao said: "How can we escape in such a situation?" The knights rushed behind him and tried to swim across the river in the calm water, but the water failed.
There are many undercurrents in the water. The water quality of the northerners has always been poor. In addition, after riding horses for a long time, many of them exhausted their strength. They walked two feet in the water, but most of them lost their accuracy and floated up and down in the waves.
No sound.
The road was impassable, but Liang Qi was close. When the knights in front saw Liang Qi, they opened a road like silk cloth passing a knife. Cao Ang quickly threw the banner into the crowd, leaving the banner trampled by the horses' hooves.
, he said to Cao Cao: "You can't swim here, so go north, where there are fewer people. When the water has passed, just find a shallow beach and ride your horse across."
The group of people went north, but Cao Cao's team was really conspicuous among the skirmishers, and Cao Cao wore a layer of crimson robes inlaid with gold over his armor, showing his extraordinary status. Many Liangqi recognized him as a nobleman, and many of them knew him as a nobleman.
They chased him on horseback. Fortunately, Cao Cao's soldiers were all wearing iron armor. Even if Liangqi came, they couldn't break through the cavalry for a while.
Three hours ago, Cao Cao was chasing the Liang people, and three hours later, the Liang people were chasing Cao Cao. How fast the world has changed! Several Liang riders rode fast horses on the side, circled in a half arc, and finally stopped them in front.
Cao Cao and his party, the cavalry in front could not force the Liang cavalry back. After a while, more than thirty Liang cavalry behind them also caught up and surrounded Cao Cao and his party by the river.
At this time, a Liang man in the front row put the bow on the ground, took out the bow with his right hand, and pulled out a heavy-headed arrow from the quiver with his left hand. Although this kind of heavy-headed arrow also has a pointed head, its wings are very wide, and the arrowhead is thick and heavy.
It was much heavier in the hand than an ordinary armor-piercing arrow. He clamped the horse's belly, drew the bow, aimed at Cao Cao's lower abdomen on the right front, snapped the string, and let the heavy arrow whistle away.
The arrow was too heavy, so it was shot slightly lower and failed to hit Cao Cao's armor. Instead, it hit the horse underneath him. The heavy arrow easily penetrated the horse's forehead, shattered the horse's skull, and then penetrated the brain.
He came out and put it on in front of Cao Cao's skirt and armor. It took the horse four hooves a long time to react, and fell to the ground with a bang. Cao Cao was buried in the soil by the horse, and his face was covered with blood from the mount. The knight beside him
They were making a fuss, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Cao Cao shouted Cao Ren's name loudly: "Zi Xiao! Zi Xiao!", but Cao Ren was fighting with Liang Qi who was following him. He had changed his knife, so how could he care about Cao Cao? At this time, Cao Hong came over on horseback.
He ordered his own soldiers to go to the front to stop the enemy, then dismounted and dragged Cao Cao out of the horse's body. He handed his horse's bridle to Cao Cao's hand and said: "My war horse is a green horse from Liangzhou. Meng De, you can ride it first!" Cao Cao was very moved, and just when he was about to push his hand and give in, Cao Hong decisively helped Cao Cao to the horse and said: "The world cannot be without Hong, but it cannot be without a king." Then he helped Cao Cao onto the horse with his own hands.
Cao Hong was the richest among the Cao family in Qiao County, so his soldiers had strong crossbows. At this time, they fired crossbows at Liang Qi who was blocking the road, and all of them were shot through armor. Only then did Cao Cao and his party continue to go north along the water.
Inside, he saw an ownerless boat floating on the water. Cao Ang hooked the boat to the river with the tip of a hook, and Cao Cao was able to cross the Bian River.

Seeing that Liang Qi could not catch the high-ranking official, the following Liang Qi was not interested in the rest of the fight, and instead went to kill the scattered knights on the east coast.
When Cao Cao and his party set foot on the east bank again, Dong Yue and others on the east bank were also chasing Yuan Shao's troops. The rout in front was just as the Liang people expected, completely disrupting the formation of the entire army. Yuan Shao had no military skills, and
Seeing such a scene, the princes behind them lost their will to fight and just wanted to retreat and retreat again. No one could stop the army from being defeated.
Li Meng, who was in the vanguard, shouted: "Capture Yuan Shao alive! Cut Liu Dai alive!" The infantry and cavalry under his command kept driving back the defeated soldiers in front of them. The defeated soldiers screamed loudly, their steps were faster than when they came, and they stepped on the ground.
Fog, smoke and dust spread everywhere, and the warriors recruited from all walks of life in the army, such as Pei Guo Zhou Jing, Xia Pi Yong Wu, Ji Yin Pan Liang and others were all killed. The defeated soldiers fled for a while, and the sound of sword fighting was muted.
, what you hear more is the sound of weapons piercing flesh, and the sighs of the dead as their souls disperse.
They suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves approaching each other from their side, and in the mist, a group of horseback figures passed by. The horses were strong and the knights were tall. The foot soldiers on the edge shouted: "It's the Bingzhou knights!"
Before the chasing Liang people could react, they saw a knight break out of the broken troops on the left wing. He rode through the smoke and dust. He was wearing two pieces of armor and a dark green robe. His headband could not be covered by a hood.
His eyes were like daggers, and the knights at the front felt a chill in their necks when they saw him. They couldn't help but raise their knives to guard the center line in front of them. But the man ignored them as if they were nothing, and rode alone through the gap between the horses, as if
There was a gust of wind, and Li Meng didn't know what had happened. The man had already rushed towards him on horseback. The followers around him were chasing him too deeply, and the formation was no longer tight. There was no one around to protect him.
Li Menggao shouted and drew out his sword, but it was already three minutes too late. The blade of the knife was raised to his chest, and the knight's blade slashed along the back of his sword towards his neck, barely cutting between the gap between the pocket and the armor.
Quickly and accurately, Li Meng finally felt that someone was tugging at the end of his hair, and the knight took his head and buckle in his hands and rode his horse out of the cold man.
Only then did Xu Huang and the others rush to Liang Ren. The appearance of the knights caught Liang Ren off guard. What made them even more frightened was that the body of Li Meng, the captain of the Xuanmen School, fell under the horse. They had not yet seen clearly the knight's body.
Figure. The knight stepped slowly in front of the gradually gathering horsemen. Behind him were most of the fleeing coalition forces. He was holding a bloody head in his hand and a bloody knife in the other hand. He was among the crowd.
He stood out from the crowd, but he said calmly: "Guan Yunchang is here, he is a hero, so he will fight with me."
Many people in Liangqi had participated in the Hebei War. They all recognized him at this time and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a tiger! Ten thousand enemies!"
The cavalrymen shouted loudly to build up the momentum: "Ten thousand enemies! Ten thousand enemies!"
Xu Rong and others had already reached the Bian River and drove the remnants of the coalition forces on the west bank into the Bian River. They were satisfied with their ambitions. However, he saw that the smoke and dust on the east bank gradually subsided. This was due to the reduction of chaos. He was surprised and asked himself
Said: "Why didn't Li Meng pursue me?"
After a while, the smoke and dust completely dimmed, and he saw the Liang people on the east bank forming a neat formation, standing and confronting the unknown cavalry. The defeated troops further away began to stop the rout. This was not conducive to pursuit.
situation.
When Liangqi from the other side took the initiative to report the situation to him, when he mentioned that Li Meng was killed by Guan Yu, Xu Rong frowned and said, "Dragon Head has already taken action? I don't know the news. This is a mistake." So he ordered Liang from the other side to be killed.
The horse retreated to the west bank, and he crossed the Bian River. He went to the opposite side of Guan Yu in person and asked, "Is it the intention of Liu and Chen that Guan Jun came here from afar?"
Guan Yu also recognized Xu Rong. He looked at him with raised eyebrows and replied: "Brother, I just want to do justice for heaven."
Xu Rong smiled and said: "When two armies are facing each other, there is no way to do justice for heaven. If Yuan Shao has a way, how can he explain today's battle?" He did not wait for Guan Yu to get angry, and said: "Li Meng is a filial son in the family, and he has more than ten dependents.
, I fully expect him to survive. He died under Guan Jun’s knife today, which is not unjust. It’s just that I want to return his head to his family, and I hope Guan Jun will keep his head.”
Guan Yu was silent after hearing this. He threw Li Meng's head to Xu Rong, who took it and evacuated with his men across the water.
At this time, Cao Cao and his entourage returned and entered Guan Yu's tribe, withdrawing the wild dates with him. Cao Cao had been drenched in the drizzle for a day and was soaked to the skin. He was quite confused and decadent and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, this battle is
After that, I think there is no hope in trying to challenge the director."
Guan Yu took out the water bag containing wine from the saddle and handed it to Cao Cao. He smiled and said: "It's just a temporary setback. We still have to survive, so how can we give up?" He decided to take a rest after the war and went immediately.
