Chapter 172 Cao Ren Was Arrested Again
The two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, and Jiangxia's soldiers were killed or injured no less than five thousand. Gan Ning led his troops to rush left and right.The Jiangdong navy suffered more damage, and the Jiangxia navy was too reckless. They built several small forts on the water, and the forts echoed each other, trying to turn the water battle into a defensive battle.

At the same time, Cao Ren and Li Dian have also led their troops to Jiangxia City, and the army is ready to attack the city.According to intelligence, although there are only [-] soldiers in Jiangxia City, and there are no generals guarding it, they still have the advantage of defending the city.If Cao Jun attacked by force, unless the opponent surrendered soon, he would lose at least a few thousand soldiers.

This Jiangxia County is not theirs even if they fight hard. According to the agreement between the two, Jiangxia County belongs to Sun Quan, so Li Dian suggested that Cao Ren should not go all out to attack the city, and let's just show it to Sun Quan.As long as our army is here, we can put pressure on Gan Ning, which can be regarded as indirectly helping Jiangdong Army.

When Sun Quan defeats Gan Ning, he will definitely come to take Jiangxia. Then let them consume each other. Anyway, we have dispatched troops according to the agreement, and this Jiangxia County has also promised to you. If you can’t fight, there is nothing you can do. !

Cao Ren didn't listen to Li Dian's advice last time when he fought in Xinye, and suffered a big loss. This time he obediently obeyed.So although Cao Jun started to attack the city, he didn't use all his strength. It was like acting, and he didn't even bother to build a catapult.

At this time, a general stood on the city wall, observing Cao's army outside the city with a telescope, and said: "Cao Ren is doing his job without doing anything. It seems that no allies are reliable. No matter what he does, the most important thing is On their own!"

Behind this general stood several generals, including Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wenpin, and Wei Yan. They were all neatly dressed, holding weapons, and ready to fight. This general was none other than Zhang Wu.

"What the governor said is true. Although Cao Cao and Sun Quan are united, they have their own thoughts and cannot work together." Huang Zhongying agreed.

In fact, this is normal, because both Cao Cao and Sun Quan thought that once the two families united, Zhang Wu would definitely be dead. After the fall of Jingzhou, the two families would no longer be allies, but would quickly become enemies, so they would definitely keep a hand.

As written in the original book, before Sun and Liu's allied forces defeated Cao Cao, Zhou Yu wanted to get rid of Zhuge Liang. After defeating Cao Cao, the two families began to fight for territory again.

"Everyone, go down and get ready. Let's meet old friends." Zhang Wu said with a smile. I don't know if Cao Ren will be happy after seeing so many old friends!
It turned out that after Zhang Wu learned that Cao Ren and Sun Quan were attacking Jiangxia from both sides, the countermeasure he adopted was to let Gan Ning lead the main force of the [-] Jiangxia navy to block the Jiangdong army with chain boats, while Su Fei led the [-] Jiangxia navy to fight against Xiangyang. The water army worked together to annihilate the Cao Jun water army who took the initiative.

Without the navy, Cao Cao will have no threat to Xiangyang, so after the first to eliminate Cao Jun's navy, Su Fei will lead the army back to help, and Feng Xi of Jiangling will also lead the Jiangling navy to support Gan Ning, waiting for Ding Fengna After Bian finished his work, he would go down the river to join Gan Ning.

On the other hand, Zhang Wu came to Jiangxia City in secret with a few fierce generals. On the surface, he used the banner of Su Fei to confuse Cao Ren. In fact, he wanted to defeat Cao Ren's army and horses, and then implement the next plan.Because there were few infantry in Jiangxia City, and Zhang Wu couldn't bring many soldiers from Xiangyang to keep secret, so he had to form this super luxurious lineup to deal with Cao Ren. Anyway, these generals couldn't help much in the water battle.

Cao Ren was supervising the battle in front of the battle, but found that the gate of Jiangxia city was suddenly opened. He couldn't figure it out. Could it be that Su Fei saw that our army refused to attack the city with all his strength, so he felt bored and wanted to go out of the city to fight with me?How dare he!

Sure enough, a lot of soldiers and horses rushed out from Jiangxia City, the leader was wearing armor, holding a big knife, and a white horse under his crotch, so familiar!When Cao Ren saw the "Zhang" banner, he suddenly thought that it was Zhang Wu!

Why is he here!When Cao Ren and Li Dian saw the other generals clearly, they were scared out of their wits.

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Wenpin are all acquaintances, what are they doing?Why are there so many warriors here!
Zhang Wu laughed and said: "Cao Zixiao, don't come here without any harm. Since you are here, let's go to Jiangxia City as a guest!"

Cao Ren didn't dare to say anything, turned around and was about to run away, Zhang Wu alone could single out the six of them, and there were so many top-notch fighters behind him, if he didn't run away, he wouldn't be able to escape!Cao Ren had a psychological shadow, and no matter how many soldiers Zhang Wu had, he just didn't dare to fight anyway.Moreover, Cao Ren was not an ordinary general, so he immediately thought that since Zhang Wu himself could appear here, even Xiangyang was ignored, then something must have changed.

Seeing that Cao Ren was about to run away without even saying hello, Zhang Wu was a little angry. Is this Jiang Xia the one who comes and leaves whenever you want?So Zhang Wu opened "Wu Shuang" directly, and rushed straight to Cao Ren.

Seeing this, Cao Ren became even more panicked. While ordering the soldiers to rush up to block Zhang Wu, he whipped his mount vigorously and fled towards Xinye.

Zhang Wu yelled: "Whoever stands in my way will die!" He swung his broadsword and chopped down Cao Jun's soldiers who were standing in front of him. Seeing Zhang Wu's bravery, Cao Jun fled in all directions.

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others also led their troops to attack and disperse Cao's army, and then chased and killed the fleeing Cao army.When Li Dian saw Cao Ren running away, he didn't dare to resist him. He couldn't defeat any of the other generals, so he turned around and ran away.

Zhang Wu's horse ran fast and soon caught up with Cao Ren. He shouted: "Cao Ren, where are you running? Don't get off your horse and surrender!"

Cao Ren had only dozens of cavalry guards around him, and seeing that he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to turn around and face Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu activated the "Flying General" skill again, and Lu Ma leaped into the air, flashing like a flash of lightning, and the big knife in Zhang Wu's hand slashed at Cao Ren fiercely.

No matter how you say it, Cao Ren is a first-class military commander. He tried his best to block this earth-shattering sword. However, he was shaken to the point of numbness all over, the tiger's mouth was shattered, and the mount under his crotch also let out a mournful cry.

After three rounds, Cao Ren was slapped off his horse by Zhang Wu, spitting out a big mouthful of blood, and was tied up by Jiangxia soldiers even with the slightest strength in his body.

When the guards around Cao Ren saw that their leader had been captured, they did not run away. They rode over to save Cao Ren. They would die anyway if they escaped, so it was better to die in battle and their family could still get a pension.

Zhang Wu also knew that since these personal guards did not run away, they would not be able to surrender, so his subordinates showed no mercy, beheaded them one by one, and then brought Cao Ren to join Huang Zhong and others.

Li Dian had already fled, and the rest of Cao's army fled in all directions. After all, there were few soldiers in Jiangxia City. This time, only [-] infantrymen left the city to fight back. Cao Ren and Li Dian were able to defeat Cao Ren and Li Dian. Not many Cao Jun were killed.

Zhang Wu arranged for Huang Zhong to lead [-] soldiers to escort Cao Ren and the captives back to Jiangxia City to temporarily guard. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun each led [-] soldiers to hunt down Cao Jun's deserters. He rushed to the bank of the river with Wenpin and Wei Yan. The boat went to join Gan Ning.
