This time, Cao's army made every effort to reach Jingxiang, and the troops were arranged in depth. Although they were washed away by floods a few days ago and suffered heavy losses, their remaining strength was still there, and the ability to fight again was still possible. Everyone was mentally prepared for this.

However, what is said in the document? The boats and rafts are one after another, countless?

In recent years, as Guan Yu's Jingzhou navy became stronger and stronger, its range of activities has extended from the original river to the entire downstream of the Han River. If it were not for the floating bridge and the floating city, the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng would be cut off by the Jingzhou navy at any time.

Under such a situation, where did the navy army come from in Cao's army? Where can boats be used?

Even if they pieced together some ships upstream of the Qingshui River, how could they have such courage, such ability to transport troops and fight downstream?

Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of unbelievable surprise.

Lei Yuan's expression became a little solemn.

He first asked a entourage to call the medical officer, and then squatted down in front of the messenger sent by He Song, took out the water bag, and asked the messenger to drink a few sips of water: "What is the specific situation of Cao Jun?"

The messenger drank water and whispered: "Our army took a boat north this morning and attacked Jianpo. The number of Cao troops on the slope was only four or five hundred, and they were all tired soldiers. It took only a moment to take down the slope. But just as we were resting on the slope, a large-scale Cao army fleet suddenly appeared in several waters north of Jianpo that were connected to the Qingshui River."

"How large is it?" a military academy asked anxiously.

The messenger gasped for a while and continued: "The fleet was in front of the boats, and there were a large number of rafts, with only the front at least hundreds, and there were also more. There were tens of thousands of soldiers loading, with dozens of flags under them..."

Speaking of this, the messenger's face became worse and worse, and his voice became lower and lower: "There are too many soldiers and horses in the Cao army! There are too many ships! We are surrounded! General He asked me to take people to report the news, and many brothers died along the way. General, we are in trouble!"

At this time, the medical officer arrived from behind.

Lei Yuan pressed the messenger's shoulder and interrupted him: "I understand, you rest."

The medical officer and assistants came with simple stretchers and carried the messenger away.

Lei Yuan stood up and frowned and thought deeply.

He Song's troops have fought fiercely in recent days and sent people to escort prisoners south, and their troops have been reduced to more than two thousand.

Jianpo, which Lei Yuan asked him to attack today, was a Cao army camp located north of Caiyang County. Because the combat effectiveness of the garrison in Caiyang City was still unclear at this time, Lei Yuan ordered He Song to capture Jianpo to intimidate Caiyang City. If the garrison in Caiyang was in a panic, he could take the opportunity to cover up the killing and attack. If there was no chance, He Song would not have to stay in Jianpo for a long time and could retreat to Lumen Mountain Area tomorrow.

Who would have thought that his army was heading north and was hitting a large number of troops going south by Cao's army? Who would have thought that Cao's army actually made a navy army? Who would have thought that Cao Cao's backhand was not some kind of strategic means, but the most fierce counterattack that had been prepared for a long time?

If Cao's army had indeed moved south on such a large scale, He Song would definitely not be an opponent. They must be facing an extremely dangerous situation now.

And the real danger was not yet expected by the generals.

The main force of the Cao army came in a boat and raft, with dozens of flags on them. Obviously, all the powerful generals and soldiers were out. Their purpose was not just to be He Song?

Just south of He Song's troops, from Caiyang to Dengsai, to the vast area around Lumen Mountain, Lei Yuan's Jiaozhou Army units include Kou Feng, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Ren Hui, and Ding Feng, who were scattered in a radius of 100 miles, and they divided their troops to clean up the scattered Cao troops everywhere.

Their team was very scattered, and most of the troops were like He Song, because they had to transport prisoners and wounded to the south, which was significantly weakened.

When the Jiaozhou army crossed the Han River to the north, there were a total of 35,000 people. Lei Yuan estimated that by this time there were about 27,000 enemies in front, and at least seven different positions were divided into seven different positions.

Considering that the transportation capacity of the Jiaozhou naval army has been used to the limit and the water situation has not yet subsided, even if Lei Yuan sends 100,000 people to gather in a hurry, he will be able to take action one after another tomorrow.

When Cao's army arrives, who can resist the enemy? It is not only a big disadvantage of having many enemies but also a big disadvantage of having only one enemy. It is simply unthinkable how the situation will develop in the future!

What is this? Is Prime Minister Cao flooding the seven armies?

Lei Yuan was shocked and let out a cold sweat.

Over the past few years, Cao Cao has not been able to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the King of Hanzhong, but he has always been the most powerful ruler in contemporary times and is also a recognized master of military tactics. Lei Yuan relied on his memories of his previous life, and certainly caused a great loss to the Cao army, but who has also stipulated that Cao Cao would be ignorant of the climate of Jingxiang?

After suffering a loss for a while, he still has a way!

After all, Cao Cao was in Nanyang, and his attention and preparation for the battle situation in Jingxiang far exceeded that of Lei Yuan’s memory!

Lei Yuan was stunned for a while, and felt the dazzling sunlight reflected from the water on the west, forcing him to subconsciously reach out to cover his face. It was not until his palm covered his face that he realized that he had raised his right hand, which had been painful all the time. So the warmth on his face and the severe burning pain on his arms arose.

Lei Yuan gritted his teeth suddenly and held back a cry of pain. After a while, the heart that was about to jump out of his mouth slowly fell back to its original position.

The transformation of victory or defeat on the battlefield always comes so suddenly, and any detail may affect the overall success or failure.

Cao Cao misjudged the power of the flood, which caused his own troops to suffer heavy losses; Lei Yuan predicted the flood in advance and won Jingzhou. The two armies of Jiaozhou were invincible for several days, and then wiped out the scattered Cao army one by one.

At this time, Lei Yuan and Guan Yu seemed to have not expected Cao Cao's preparation for the water situation, so it was Cao's turn to gain the upper hand!

Lei Yuan tried his best to calm his mind, but heard several generals and school students say, "I have to send someone to pick up Ying Lao He! I have to rescue him!"

Yuan Long said on the side: "It's strange... How could Cao's army have so many ships? Even if the majority of rafts are used to make rafts, logs, ropes, iron nails, supporting oars, and sailors... where could they be raised in a short time?"

There was a silence around.

Then Li Zhen asked tentatively: "I heard before that Cao's army gathered people near Nanyang to build the buildings needed for abdication. Is it possible that they actually collected wood in advance under the banner of building buildings..."

Before he could finish his words, several generals and schoolmen slapped their foreheads with their hands and made a snap: "Damn! This Cao Cao is really sinister!"

Yuan Long sighed: "If it were usual, Cao Jun's boats and rafts were just jokes, and I would never be afraid of him. But now..."

In the past, Cao's fleet, which was urgent, would not be placed in the eyes of the Jiaozhou navy. After all, there were more than a hundred special warships among the Jiaozhou navy, and it was easy to disperse small boats and rafts. But at this moment, everyone thought of:

The fleet of the Jiaozhou Army is also scattered! The navy soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army are also tired!

As the flood gradually receded, the dedicated warship could no longer travel in the vast shallow waters, and Yuan Long could only use it to fight for a small boat!

In other words, the advantage of the Jiaozhou navy does not exist at this moment!

Suddenly, several people were angry and cursed.

Ma Dai coughed lightly, calming everyone again.

He stepped out and said calmly: "General, you must send someone to rescue He Song immediately. In addition, all the troops of our army must gather quickly to prepare for war."

Lei Yuan slowly moved his right hand from his face.

Seeing Li Zhen's face suddenly changed, he shook his head slightly. Then he exchanged a look with Ma Dai in a vague manner, and walked back and forth a few steps as usual.

Lei Yuan did not intend to analyze the situation in front of his soldiers, and it was not suitable now.

From great good times to great bad times, it became a little faster. If you explain it thoroughly, it would inevitably shake the morale of the army. However, Lei Yuan had too many adversities in his life, and this time it was not worth fearing. He just wanted to fight a war that won the more with less.

So in the sight of the soldiers, he did not see any nervousness at all.

He said, "I remember that Ding Feng's troops were in the north, close to Jianpo area? Let him go to support and try to get close to He Song to retreat, without forcing him to stop the enemy."
