Liu Mang is as steady as an old dog. Now that the fourth watch has passed, he still has no intention of ordering action.
Xia Houlan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
Yu Gong, he is Liu Mang's best friend, and must achieve military merit for the young master.
Privately, he is a surrendered general of Cao's army, and he must go all out to show his loyalty in this battle.
"Master...why don't I take action?"
"Don't be anxious! Play the long game to catch the big fish!"
Liu Mang crossed his legs and ordered: "Throw all the stone paint I ordered you to search for into the water!"
Xia Houlan didn't know why, but still followed Liu Mang's instructions.
Lu Qiling snorted softly: "It's so mysterious! Look at Cao Jun running away, how will you explain it when the time comes!"
Liu Mang said calmly: "Miss Lu, do you dare to bet with me? In this battle, I will burn Baihe to let Cao Jun taste what the two worlds of glaciers are like!"
How can you catch fire in water?
Lu Qiling puffed up her chest proudly and hummed, "Let's bet! If I win, when you succeed to the throne in the future, you must do your best to avenge my father!"
Liu Mang nodded in agreement, and then asked: "What if I win? What can Miss Lu do?"
Lu Qiling lowered her head shyly and murmured: "You can do whatever you want..."
Liu Mang stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "A gentleman's words!"
Lu Qiling clapped her hands and hummed softly: "Hurry up and whip your horse!"
Cao Jun drank from the lower reaches of the Mabai River. After the ordinary soldiers were replenished, Cao Hong and others came forward to drink water.
Suddenly I heard a loud noise and looked up to see that the water was rushing downhill!
Liu Mang gave the order to take action, and Xia Houlan couldn't wait for it!
The endlessly flowing White River, like an angry white dragon, swept Cao's army into it and drowned countless people!
Cao Jun, who was lucky enough to get into the water, thought he could escape, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the water of the White River was burning with fire!
Either drowned or burned to death!
Cao Jun, who had just experienced the burning of Xinye, could not have imagined that Liu Mang would burn Baihe upstream and give them a fire again!
"General, be careful!"
Cao Hong was drinking water when the Baihe fire came, making him unable to dodge.
The soldiers kept coming to rescue him, but Cao Hong didn't even know how to talk, but he was fed a lot of food.
The soldiers tried their best to rescue him, but Cao Hong was left hanging on the wooden plank and managed to escape with his life.
Unexpectedly, the river ignited a raging fire, and the soldiers who had been washed into the middle of the river swam desperately towards the other side.
Unfortunately, the river was fast and the wind helped the fire. In an instant, everyone in Cao Hong was swallowed up by the sea of fire!
When Cao Ren saw this, he was so stunned that he wailed: "Zi Lian! My disciple Lian!"
Xu Chu quickly hugged Cao Ren and did not let him go.
If it had been Cao Ren who went to drink water at that time, the general would have died, and the consequences would be disastrous!
"General! You still want to lead the entire army to retreat! I hope the general will express my condolences!"
Snapped!
Cao Ren slapped Xu Chu on the face, and now he has calmed down a lot.
"Liu Bei! Zhuge Liang! I will make you pay with blood!"
Cao Ren had no time to grieve and led his army to retreat quickly, fearing that Liu Bei would send people to pursue him again.
Liu Mang heard Cao Jun crying so loudly that his lungs were split, and he thought to himself: "There won't be any unexpected gains, right?"
Xia Houlan frowned and said: "Sir! I'm afraid someone with a good reputation has been killed! Otherwise, Cao's army would never be so demoralized!"
Lu Qiling said disdainfully: "I don't believe it! He was clearly the one who delayed the fight! Fortunately, Cao's army suffered numerous casualties."
In fact, Miss Lu was shocked. The burning of Baihe sounded mysterious, let alone seeing it with her own eyes.
Now she was even more cautious about Liu Mang, and she no longer dared to look down on this young man who was younger than herself.
"Sir, are we going to hunt down Cao Jun?"
Xia Houlan was very excited, "The enemy's morale is low, it's time to pursue them!"
Liu Mang waved his hand, "I'm a little sleepy. Let's go back and rest early. Cao Ren and the master of suffering are behind him, so why should we be anxious?"
Cao Ren led his generals to seize the road where the water was slow.
When we arrived at Boling Ferry, we heard loud shouts and were blocked by an army.
The leading general, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, is none other than Zhang Yide from Yan!
"Thief Cao, please accept your fate!"
In the past, Cao Ren would have chosen to flee a long time ago. Now that Cao Hong was burned to death in Baihe, it was the time when he was burning with anger.
"Ring-eyed thief! Give my brother back his life!"
Cao Ren's eyes were blood red at this time, and he was coming towards him with a gun. Zhang Fei was not afraid at all, he was walking vigorously like flying on the snow, and the snake spear in his hand was heading towards Cao Ren's heart!
Haughty!
The collision of weapons and the pain from the tiger's mouth made Cao Ren sober!
Zhang Fei is no match for him!
"Wow! Good luck to Cao Cao, he finally stopped being a coward! Eat my old snake spear!"
The snake spear was like a spirit snake spitting out a letter, and the moves were tricky, making it difficult for Cao Ren to resist. The two sides fought for three times, and Cao Ren was exhausted, and he was obviously unable to parry.
"General, step back and leave this person to me to deal with!"
Seeing Cao Ren suffer a loss, Xu Chu was afraid that Cao Ren would make another mistake, so he ignored his martial ethics and stepped forward to help.
"Zhong Kang! You and I will come together and kill this ring-eyed thief!"
"Liu Bei killed my brother, so I have to kill his brother to vent my anger!"
Seeing Xu Chu's attack, Zhang Fei shook off the snake spear in his hand and laughed loudly: "It's great! It's great! You guys can come together, why should I, Zhang Yide, be afraid!"
Xu Chu slapped his horse and chopped it off. Zhang Fei held a spear with one hand and held his sword. Cao Ren saw this and came over with his spear.
"Thief with ring eyes, suffer death!"
"Only you want to kill me? Even if Lu Bu comes, there's nothing you can do about it!"
Zhang Fei roared angrily and punched Cao Ren's horse!
The war horse screamed in agony, but was beaten to death by Zhang Fei's punch. Cao Ren's body was unstable and he fell directly from the war horse.
"Hahaha! Your Grandpa Zhang is here too!"
Zhang Fei threw Xu Chu away and shouted: "You still want to arrest my eldest brother? I will arrest you first today!"
Seeing this, Xu Chu rushed to rescue him and cut him several times.
Zhang Fei did not dare to be careless and could only fight with Xu Chu.
Cao Ren took the opportunity to change his horse and took the road directly, leaving all the hatred of killing his brother and the hatred of the defeat behind him.
Xu Chu was panting, but Zhang Fei was able to do it with ease.
"Sick cat, you are tired!"
"Ring-eyed thief, if you have the ability, fight me for another 300 rounds!"
"Okay, it's just what I want!"
Xu Chu used his peripheral vision to see Cao Ren breaking out of the encirclement, and pretended to go forward to fight. Unexpectedly, he turned his horse around and fled directly.
This made Zhang Fei so angry that he yelled: "How dare you play tricks on your grandfather! Brothers, chase after me!"
Zhang Fei was about to catch up, but saw his subordinates sending orders to report.
"Third generals! My lord has given orders. Cao Ren has retreated and Xinye has been burned. The generals will quickly retreat south and meet at Xiangyang City!"
"Hmph! If it hadn't been for Big Brother's order, I would have killed that thief Cao today! Brothers, retreat!"
In this battle alone, Cao Ren lost half of his 100,000 vanguard army!
Two fires completely destroyed Cao Jun's invincible arrogance!
"Zhongkang, if you go to Meng De to report it, you will say that Zi Lian died and I cannot absolve myself of the blame!"
"General, don't let your imagination run wild!"
"No... I want to make peace with Meng De and kill Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang!"
