Zhang Liao brought a blank bamboo slip, picked up a pen and wrote a letter quickly, checked it and handed it to the general, and ordered: "Transfer it to the commander immediately, and pass it to General Xu Huang at the fastest speed." Now in the Huainan army, Zhang Liao is the main and Xu Huang is the auxiliary, so Zhang Liao can give Xu Huang an order. The general replied, took the letter and walked quickly.

That night, after dinner, Zhang Liao had no intention of sleeping, so he walked to the sand table and looked at the current situation of the enemy and us on the sand table, and fell into deep thought. Zhang Liao frowned, feeling that the Cao army's military power was too great this time, and it was really difficult to overcome this crisis! Qingzhou has been lost, and its morale has been frustrated, and the subsequent battle will only be even more difficult!

At this moment, a general rushed in and reported: "General, the commander of Shouhe has sent someone!"

Zhang Liao's heart moved, raised his head, "Call him in." General Ying Nuo turned around and came out of the tent, and after a moment he led an officer in. When the officer saw Zhang Liao, he immediately bowed: "Go to the general!"

"No need to be polite. Get up and talk."

"Thank you General!" The officer stood up and said with his fists: "The villain came to report to the general under the command of the commander. The scout in front found a large army of our side moving south, only about thirty miles away from the river bank!"

Zhang Liao frowned, "Our army? How many soldiers are there?" "About 40,000 or 50,000 people. The commander believed that it should be sent by the lord to reinforce us." The general said happily: "Great! With this army coming, you can ensure that Huainan is foolproof!"

Zhang Liao thought, "The battle situation in Xuzhou is tight now, and nearly 500,000 Cao's army is attacking fiercely day and night! How can the general distribute so many troops to support us? It's night again, and his vision is dim and unclear, I'm afraid there is a fraud!" The generals and officers were shocked when they heard this.

Zhang Liao immediately said to the officer: "You hurry back and tell Commander Zhao immediately and ask him to close the Huaihe floating bridge immediately! No one is allowed to cross the river without my order!" The officer responded and ran away quickly. Zhang Liao said to his generals again: "Gather all the troops and horses immediately to follow me to the floating bridge!" "Yes!"

The officer rushed back to the floating bridge and informed the Commander Zhao of Zhang Liao's order. Commander Zhao hurriedly ordered the surfing bridge to be closed, and all the troops lined up along the river to prepare for battle. Not long after, Zhang Liao led a brigade to the side of the floating bridge. Commander Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage. Zhang Liao asked: "Is there any latest news from that army?" "I just received a scout report saying that the army marched very fast, less than ten miles away from the river bank!" Zhang Liao sneered: "It's really fast!" Then he ordered the entire army to arrange the army and prepare for battle.

Time passed slowly while the officers and soldiers of Lu Bu were waiting anxiously. About half an hour later, figures of people surging on the other side of the shore were surging, and in the darkness seemed to be infinite people coming towards this side. Zhang Liao said to Commander Zhao: "Send someone to ask them to stop!" Commander Zhao Yingnuo immediately ran onto the floating bridge and rushed to the other side, shouting to an officer guarding the north shore: "Old Li, go and tell them that General Zhang Liao has an order, and ask them to stop immediately!" The officer named Old Li responded, and immediately rushed to the front of the army, shouting: "General Zhang Liao has an order, the army is coming to stop immediately!" Then the sound of orders spreading in the middle of the army came one after another, and the army gradually stopped.

When Zhang Liao saw that the army actually stopped advancing according to his orders, he was surprised and said to himself: What's going on? Am I wrong in my judgment? Is this indeed a reinforcement sent by the general?

At this moment, he shouted, "Which part of the visitor is? Who is the general in charge? Please come out and see me!"

A general ran out and shouted, "We are officers and soldiers of the reserve team. We are specially ordered by the general to reinforce General Zhang! The leader is Lord Chen Gong, but Lord Chen Gong fell off the horse on the road and was injured. He was sitting on the carriage! He is still behind! There are general order arrows here, please let General Zhang look at it!"

Zhang Liao shouted, "Commander Zhao!" Commander Zhao understood, immediately responded, rushed straight to the general, and handed the command arrow to Commander Zhao. Commander Zhao ran back to the south bank with the command arrow and presented the command arrow to Zhang Liao for a look. Zhang Liao took the command arrow and looked at it, and found that it was indeed the command arrow of the general! The general next to him said happily: "General, this is indeed the command arrow of the general. It seems that they are indeed reinforcements!" Zhang Liao couldn't help but nodded, but a doubt came to his heart, that is, although the voice of the general opposite gave him a sense of familiarity, he had no sense of intimacy. He didn't remember that there was such a number of generals he knew! As soon as he thought of this, he immediately asked, "Who is the general? Why don't I seem to know you?"

The general sang: "I have just recently joined the general. I am from Jingzhou, named Cao Dun. It is the first time I have met General Zhang Liao!"

Zhang Liao did not doubt this when he heard this. Recently, new people have joined in the past few days. It can be said that all the martial arts masters were all given important tasks by the General Military Commission. Now there is nothing strange about this person named Cao Dun. He looked at the command arrow in his hand again. There was indeed no problem with the command arrow. So he sang: "General Cao, you have worked hard all the way, so please cross the river immediately. I will hold a banquet for you in the big tent!"

Cao Dun showed excitement on his face, and he clasped his fists and sang: "Thank you, General Zhang!" In fact, Cao Dun is not Cao Dun. He is the mighty general under Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun. This time he came, he was following Cao Cao's general order, disguised as Lu Bu reinforcements, and prepared to seize Shouchun in one fell swoop! Shouchun is the key to Huainan. Seizing Shouchun is equivalent to injecting a wedge in Huainan! Then Cao's army will survive in the game of chess, and even if he is sure to win, it is not an exaggeration!

Seeing that Zhang Liao was not suspicious, Xiahou Dun was overjoyed and immediately ordered the army to cross the river.

Zhang Liao asked loudly: "Military Chen Gong has always had leg problems. Isn't this injury caused by falling off the horse even worse?" Xiahou Dun heard this, and immediately followed Zhang Liao's words and said: "Mr. Chen Gong's injury is not a big deal!"

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up and he whispered, "The crossbowman is ready to shoot, listen to my order!" The general was surprised, "General, this..." Zhang Liao looked at the army on the other side that was about to cross the river, and said coldly, "Military Chen Gong has no leg skills at all! They are not our army at all! They are Cao's army!" The general was shocked. Zhang Liao shouted, "Go quickly!" The general came to his senses and rushed down to make the crossbowman prepare.

Seeing Cao's army climbing the pontoon bridge, they were about to come to the shore in a short while!

"Shoot the arrow!" Zhang Liao suddenly shouted loudly.

The crossbowmen who had been ready to go fired arrows together. In an instant, the arrows were like locusts. The Cao army officers and soldiers who were crossing the bridge did not expect such a change. They were shot into the river without any defense. The sound of falling into the water was heard! Xiahou Dun was shocked when he saw this scene, and then realized that his side had been exposed. He immediately led the army to retreat! The Cao army officers and soldiers on the bridge rushed to retreat back to the shore, and many officers and soldiers were knocked into the river by their own people. Those who could swim quickly threw away their weapons, took off their armor and swam up the shore. Those who couldn't water struggled desperately, floating and floating. Some of them hugged their companions who could help them, and dragged them into the water! The scene was in chaos!

After a panic, Cao's army finally retreated to the north shore, but had already ruined more than a thousand officers and soldiers.

Xiahou Dun was furious and shouted sternly: "Zhang Liao, I want to tear you apart!" Zhang Liao smiled and said: "Xiahou Dun, if you have the ability, come!" Zhang Liao had already seen through the identity of the other party's Cao army, and when he heard that Xiahou Dun had pronounced Cao Dun as Cao Dun, he could easily guess that the so-called Cao Dun was the mighty general of Cao army Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun ordered the beheading of more than a dozen Lu Bu officers and soldiers captured on the north shore, and immediately ordered a group of troops to attack the other shore.

The soldiers and horses held their shields to protect the front, back, left and right, and top of their heads, forming a whole, like a huge beetle, climbing onto the floating bridge and slowly coming towards the south bank!

The general said anxiously: "General, order the crossbow to attack!"

Zhang Liao looked at the Cao army who were slowly coming with shields, shook his head and said, "Didn't you see that they are using the tortoise shell formation? The attack of the crossbow is useless! The commander of the three-bow bed crossbow is ready!" The general Ying Nuo said and immediately ran to the command. More than a hundred three-bow bed crossbows on both sides of the floating bridge were slowly turned under the force of the Lu Bu army officers and soldiers. Then, soldiers loaded huge guns and arrows as tall as the bed crossbow, ready to go!

At this time, the Cao army had already crossed the middle of the floating bridge! The general couldn't help but shout to Zhang Liao: "General?" Zhang Liao raised his right hand and waved it violently. More than a hundred three-bow crossbows ready to go fired arrows together, and only a huge tremor was heard, accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of guns and arrows tearing the air. In an instant, there were crackling sounds. The guns and arrows swept across the bridge like a strong wind. The shields of Cao's army were broken one after another, and the flesh and blood were flying across the scene, and more than a hundred Cao's officers and soldiers fell down the river!

Cao's army was shocked and became ruthless! They simply removed their shield defense and made a huge roar and rushed straight towards the south bank!
