    Xun You was overjoyed and quickly ordered the soldiers on the left and right to blow the golden horn to retreat.  As soon as the trumpet sounded, the generals of Cao's army immediately led the army to retreat slowly despite the heavy rain.  Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Jia, and Yu Jin rushed to the city to respond with their troops.

    As soon as Cao Jun retreated, the tense nerves of Xiangyang's soldiers and civilians suddenly relaxed, and an endless sense of fatigue immediately filled their bodies.  Zhuge Liang also knew that the army and the people were exhausted, so he did not order a massacre, but only a few soldiers and horses shot arrows to stop the attack.

    The horn is blowing.  Xu Chu's eyebrows were raised evilly, and his eyes were filled with anger.  He had noticed that Zhang Fei was not strong enough, and he could defeat this man as long as he was given two more hours.  Zhang Fei chuckled, as if to cover up his lack of physical strength.  Xu Chu shouted coldly.

    "Zhang Yide, let your head rest for a while. I, Xu Zhongkang, will come to pick it up sooner or later!!!"

    Xu Chu finished drinking, turned around and walked away.  Zhang Fei didn't dare to chase him, so he shouted behind him.

    "Xu Zhongkang, one day, your grandfather Zhang will definitely take your head!!!"

    On the other side, Dian Wei shouted violently and attacked Pan Feng wildly with his halberd, seemingly ignoring the sound of the horn.  Pan Feng fought fiercely all night and was injured. He was killed by Dian Wei and was unable to fight back.  Dian Wei then attacked, seemingly wanting to fight Pan Feng to the death.

    Suddenly, Pan Feng used all her remaining strength to swing the two halberds struck by Kai Dianwei with an axe.  Dian Wei took several steps back, and Pan Feng was about to strike. Dian Wei laughed coldly, but did not dodge, knowing that Pan Feng was at the end of his strength.  Sure enough, when Pan Feng just lifted the giant axe, the muscles and bones of his body seemed to be against him. He was not strong enough and the giant ax fell to the ground.  Dian Wei's evil eyes flashed suddenly, he rushed up suddenly, swept his halberd towards Pan Feng's chest, and struck Pan Feng's abdomen with the other halberd.

    Two streaks of blood suddenly flashed, and two streaks of blood flew out from Pan Feng's huge body.  Dian Wei suddenly grinned, and Pan Feng suddenly shouted loudly, and the power of nine bulls and two tigers burst into his right fist, hitting Dian Wei's face with an incredible speed.

    boom!

    Dian Wei's entire body suddenly flew into the air, his mouth full of blood, and he hit behind a city wall, spitting out several bloody teeth.  Several generals of Cao's army rushed in with their troops and guarded Dianwei.  Dian Wei jumped up suddenly and shouted hysterically.

    "Step aside!!!!"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard another shout from the city.

    "Evil is coming!! Your Majesty has an order, if you don't obey the order and retreat, behead!!!"

    When Dian Wei heard this, he recognized it as Cao Ren's shout, and a look of anger and reluctance suddenly appeared on his twisted face.  Dian Wei almost crushed his teeth and stared at Pan Feng, as if he wanted to tear Pan Feng into pieces.  However, in the end Dian Wei did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's order and turned around and retreated.

    Not long after Dian Wei retreated, Pan Feng suddenly knelt on his left knee, and his huge body fell suddenly.

    ¡°General Pan!!!¡±

    The soldiers from Jingzhou hurried over to visit.  I saw three bloodstains with ferocious faces on Pan Feng's front and back, constantly spurting out blood.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? !

    It rained heavily, and Cao Jun slowly retreated from Xiangyang City under the curtain of thunder and rain.  The cold corpses above and below Xiangyang City seemed to be silently describing the cruelty of war.  The heavy raindrops left a strange red color, and the area three miles away from Xiangyang City was covered in bright red.

    Zhuge Liang silently looked at the bloody scenes around him, ignoring the general's persuasion and refusing to leave for a long time.

    In this bloody battle, Cao's army lost about 15,000 soldiers and horses, while Jingzhou's soldiers and horses lost 10,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 people in Xiangyang died.

    This can be said to be Zhuge Liang's most tragic defeat since he came out of the mountain.  Cao Cao's battle also proved that Zhuge Kongming, who was praised by the world as having unparalleled intelligence, was not an invincible god.

    Cao Jun retreated to the camp, and Zhuge Liang stayed in the city.  This sudden heavy rain lasted for three days and three nights, causing the water levels in the rivers around Xiangyang City to rise.

    Cao Cao saw that Xiangyang was extremely difficult to travel due to heavy rains, so he did not dare to attack Xiangyang for a while.  At the same time in Xiangyang City, Zhuge Liang still stood still.  The two armies have been facing each other for half a month, but there has been no movement.

    "Cao Cao could have conquered Xiangyang in one battle, but God helped the thieves, and the good opportunity was lost.  Cao Cao was depressed and fell asleep in his tent one day.  Suddenly a pig, as big as an ox, all black, ran into the tent and bit Cao Cao's feet.  Cao Cao was furious and hurriedly drew his sword to kill him. Suddenly, black energy surged, his vision was blurred, and the sound was like cracking silk, ear-piercing and deafening.

    "What kind of monster! Gu's fame shocks the world, and all the heroes in the world are afraid of him when they hear Gu's name!! How dare a mere monster dare to be so presumptuous!!!"

    Cao Cao shouted loudly and suddenly realized that it was a dream.  Cao Cao was shocked and confused, but he felt a pain in his left foot, and he was deeply doubtful.  Then he called Xun You to come.?, tell it in a dream.

    Xun You listened to the words, thought for a while, and then answered.

    "The king does not need to worry too much. Pigs also have dragons and elephants. The dragon attached to its feet means rising. This is a good omen, and it must be a sign that the king will conquer Jingzhou!!"

    Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, but he didn¡¯t believe it after hearing this.  Then he gathered his advisers under the tent and told him about the dream.  Some say it is auspicious, some say it is unlucky. There are different opinions.

    When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned, became angry, and shouted sternly.

    "We have been fighting alone on the battlefield for countless years, and we have never been involved in such dangerous situations? This is just a dream, why should we care about it. Let this matter be dropped and shall not be mentioned again!!!"

    While Cao Cao was speaking, an envoy from Jiangdong arrived and handed over the letter. It turned out that it was a letter from Sun Ce, telling Cao Cao that he would soon lead an army from Jiangdong to attack Jiangxia.  After seeing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and smiled brightly.

    "Hahaha!! Sun Bofu is about to send out troops in the near future, and Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies from both sides. Zhuge Liang, despite his great ingenuity, is unable to save himself. Taking advantage of the situation and attacking with his troops, he will surely be as powerful as a broken bamboo. He will be invincible in every battle and invincible in every attack. That's it.  Once you come, Jingzhou will be destroyed!¡±

    Seeing the opportunity, all the officials hurriedly paid their respects and congratulated him.

    "This shows the auspiciousness of Pig and Dragon. Your Majesty will take over Jingzhou, just around the corner!"

    So Cao Cao had no doubts and raised his troops that day and rushed to Xiangyang Road.  Zhuge Liang was in the city when he suddenly reported that Cao Cao was leading troops and was coming to kill him again.  The generals were shocked when they heard this, and they all advised Zhuge Liang to hold on. Zhuge Liang thought for a while, his eyes turned cold, and he said.

    "There is no need to panic. Cao Cao must have received the document from Sun Bofu and learned that Sun Bofu will send troops to Jingzhou in the near future. Therefore, he wanted to disrupt our position first and make our clones weak, so as to help Sun Bofu take advantage of the opportunity.  !¡±

    Hearing this, Pan Feng asked Zhuge Liang anxiously.

    "If this is the case, what will happen to us, military advisors?"

    "It has been raining heavily for days and it is difficult to march on Xiangyang. Cao Cao insists on raising troops, which is a taboo for military strategists. General Pan can rest assured that as long as we guard the city, stay in the city and wait for work, we can win."

    There was a bit of bone-chilling coldness in Zhuge Liang's voice.  Pan Feng was startled and couldn't help but look a little more worried.

    Cao Cao drove his army to the foot of Xiangyang City, set up a battle array, and shouted a challenge.  However, Cao's troops were insulted in every possible way in the city, and Zhuge Liang did not go out to fight.  Cao Cao thought that the troops in Xiangyang were insufficient, and the battle that day severely dampened Zhuge Liang's courage, and Zhuge Liang did not dare to fight.  Cao Cao then stationed troops five miles outside the city, divided his troops day and night, and formed formations under the city.

    Five or six days later, at noon, Zhuge Liang visited the city. He saw that Cao's soldiers were tired and their vigor had declined. He dismounted his horse and sat down to rest. His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he quickly ordered Zhang Fei to lead the army to fight.  The Xiangyang city gate suddenly opened, Zhang Fei flew out with his horse and led the army into formation. Cao Cao heard the news from the scouts and quickly ordered the army to get into formation.  The two formations faced each other, and Zhang Fei came out to challenge.  Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to go into battle to meet the enemy.  Xu Chu took the order and rushed out. When Zhang Fei saw that it was Xu Chu, his enemies were extremely jealous when they saw him, so he immediately ran straight towards him with his spear drawn.

    Xu Chu shouted loudly and stopped Zhang Fei. The two fought fiercely for dozens of rounds. Zhang Fei pretended to be defeated, turned his horse and ran away. Xu Chu chased him from behind.  The Jingzhou soldiers retreated in panic.

    Xiahou Dun was overjoyed when he saw this and urged Cao Cao to send his troops to cover up the killing.  Cao Cao frowned and ordered the troops not to move rashly.  The next day, Zhang Fei came to challenge him again.  Cao Cao's soldiers formed a large formation, and Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu and Dian Wei to go out to meet him. Zhang Fei saw Xu Chu and Dian Wei rushing out from left to right. The two yelled at each other, but Zhang Fei did not answer, so he turned around and ran away.  The Jingzhou soldiers once again started to falter, and most of Cao's generals became angry and impatient, and repeatedly asked Cao Cao for a fight.

    Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, suddenly realized, and quickly ordered his army to withdraw to the stronghold.  As soon as Cao Cao's order fell, although the Cao generals were suspicious, they did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's military order.  Cao Cao led his troops to retreat in a hurry. When they arrived near Dazhai, they heard loud shouts and the sound of drums and horns.  Just as Pan Feng was leading his army to attack Dazhai, Xia Houyuan, who was defending the camp, was leading his army to resist.  Cao Cao was shocked and called for reinforcements.  At this moment, there was another shouting of killing from behind. Zhang Fei took the lead and rushed towards them at full speed, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was collapsing.  Cao Cao was caught off guard and was rushed under Zhang Fei's command. He shouted loudly, like the sound of thunder.  Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who happened to be guarding Cao Cao, arrived in time to stop Zhang Fei.  Jingzhou soldiers and horses rushed forward. Cao's soldiers were exhausted and were immediately killed in chaos.  Cao Cao took advantage of the chaos and fled. Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and Xu Chu fought for a while. When their own soldiers came, they took the opportunity to seize the road and pursue Cao Cao.

    "Thief Cao!! Take your life!!!"

    Zhang Fei roared loudly, like thousands of horses galloping.  Cao Cao was frightened when he saw Zhang Fei chasing him. Suddenly, Yu Jin and Le Jin came from two directions and stopped Zhang Fei to fight.  Zhang Fei was blocked and attacked fiercely. Yu Jin and Le Jin were killed and they cried out in agony.  Fortunately, Xu Chu and Dian Wei arrived from behind. Zhang Fei did not dare to fight and ran into the rebel army.  Dian Wei and Xu Chu saw that Jingzhou's troops were strong and feared that Cao Cao would make a mistake, so they did not dare to pursue Zhang Fei and hurriedly pursued Cao Cao.

    ??Cao Cao rushed for reinforcements in time, but Pan Feng failed to successfully attack Cao's stronghold. The two Jingzhou soldiers and horses fought with Cao's army for a while before retreating.  Cao Cao's army was in chaos and could not be pursued. The generals were also afraid of Pan and Zhang's bravery. In addition, the mud road was difficult to travel, so Cao Cao did not dare to rush to send troops to cover up and kill them.

    Pan Feng and Zhang Fei then led their troops back to Xiangyang City to meet Zhuge Liang.  Pan Feng shouted angrily.

    "If it weren't for the injuries on his body, I would have killed that talented Xiahou today!!"

    It turns out that Pan Feng led his troops to sneak attack Cao Zhai. Xia Houyuan, who was guarding Dazhai, was caught off guard and almost broke through the stronghold tent by Pan Feng.  Pan Feng rushed left and right, trying to rush into the camp. Xia Houyuan led the crossbowmen in the camp to block it with random arrows. Xia Houyuan even fired arrows directly at Pan Feng.  Due to his injuries, Pan Feng was not as agile as before. He was almost shot by Xia Houyuan many times and was forced to retreat.  Later, Cao Cao's army arrived, and Pan Feng saw that the situation was extremely strong, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

    "General Pan, please be patient. After Cao Cao loses this formation, he will not dare to attack rashly again. General Pan will use this time to recover from his injuries. When General Pan recovers from his injuries, it will be the time for our Jingzhou army to defeat Cao Cao's thieves!"

    Zhuge Liang flicked his goose feather fan and said in a concentrated voice.  After hearing this, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei lost most of their impatience.

    It is said that Cao Cao was defeated for a while and lost nearly thousands of soldiers and horses. The army only had 80,000 troops left, and a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses were lost before and after.  However, Jingzhou's army has only lost more than 10,000 troops so far. Cao Cao's army is several times more powerful, and it is guarded by Xiangyang's fierce generals. There are only two Pan and Zhang. It can be said that there are only a few soldiers. Cao Cao has a large number of men and a cloud of fierce generals.  , but instead lost several times the number of soldiers lost by the other army.

    Cao Cao was angry, but not emotional. He attacked Xiangyang and ordered all the troops to guard the camp closely to wait for the opportunity.  One day, Cao Cao saw Zhang Fei leading hundreds of horses to the front of the stronghold, coming and going like flying.  Cao Cao watched for a long time, threw his bag to the ground, and shouted angrily.

    "Zhuge Kongming is really deceiving others too much!!"

    Xu Chu, who was behind Cao Cao, was angry when he heard this. He glared strangely and shouted loudly.

    "I would rather die here and swear to destroy Zhuge Kongming!!!"
