After Zhou Yu gave his orders, all the generals immediately took orders.

Although Cai Mao was assigned to guard Fancheng on the north bank, he was not dissatisfied.

Although Liu Ke came from Nanyang, Fancheng on the north bank was the first to bear the brunt.

But Fancheng is not alone, because there are two small cities on its east and west sides.

One city is called Dengxian, the other is called Dengsai, and the three cities are the horns of each other, plus the existence of Xiangyang City on the south bank.

It is absolutely impossible for Liu Ke to easily capture Fancheng. Even if he loses, he can go directly to the Hanshui River from the south gate, and just cross the river to Xiangyang.

Therefore, Cai Hao didn't say anything, and after taking the order, he led his army of water and land to set off.

But on the way, some of his subordinates worriedly said: "General, our army is stationed in Fancheng. Zhou Yu didn't deliberately use us as cannon fodder, did he?"

"Hmph! Zhou Yu, how dare you? If that's the case, I will simply surrender to Liu Ke!

But, it's not like that now, we are sitting in Fancheng, it's really good to see each other's reality.

If Liu Keyan is exaggerating, then this is our chance to make contributions.

If the opponent is really invincible, then the moon will be the first to be close to the water, haha. "

It turned out that Cai Mao had planned it long ago.

Because he is different from other counselors, as a general, he naturally doesn't have to worry about being replaced by Yangzhou college students after taking refuge.

And with these soldiers and horses in his hands, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to treat him badly.

In this way, Cai Mao's [-] land and water army finally crossed the Han River and came to Fancheng.

But before entering the arena, he ordered again: "Zhang Yun, I was going to send you to lead an army of [-] troops to Deng County.

Cai Zhong, you led an army of [-] troops to Dunsai, don't resist when you encounter the enemy, just light the beacon, I will come to support you! "

Zhang Yun and Cai Zhong took the order, and immediately ordered Qi Bingma to part ways with Cai Mao.

Then Cai Mao officially entered the city, and immediately arranged for him in the city.

Fancheng is located on the bank of the Han River, guarding across the river from Xiangyang, and can even see the actions of the defenders on the other side of the city.

Cai Mao is very afraid of death, which is understandable, otherwise he would not have seen Sun Ce's power and surrendered directly.

Therefore, Cai Mao attaches great importance to city defense, and he does not hesitate to go on inspections in person to eliminate all hidden dangers as soon as possible.

Among them, the northern city wall will definitely face the impact of Liu Ke's army first, so it is also the most deployed force.

The other is the south, because this side is backed by the Han River, Cai Mao has already planned, if something goes wrong, he will go out of the city directly from this gate, and directly lead the water army to cross the river.

On this day, Cai Mao went to the city wall again, and suddenly saw a wolf smoke rising into the sky in the distance to the east, which was very conspicuous.

When Cai Mao saw this, his heart skipped a beat: "It's broken, the smoke seems to be coming from Dun Sai!"

What Cai Mao thought was right, Cai Zhong lit up the smoke.

Because, after a few days of rushing, Liu Ke finally went south along the Feishui River and arrived outside Dengsai at the confluence of the Feishui River and the Han River.

This fortress guards the vital points, whether it is water or land, it will be restricted by it.

So without hesitation, Liu Ke immediately gave the order to attack.

As a result, generals such as Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Tai Shici and others led troops to surround Deng Sai immediately.

Where has Cai Zhong seen such a posture? He was so frightened that on the one hand, he went up to the city wall to command the enemy, and on the other hand, he hurriedly ordered people to light the beacon smoke.

After Cai Mao saw Fengyan, he didn't hesitate, and immediately called Cai He.

The three of them were originally clan brothers, and their relationship was quite close.

"Cai He, Cai Zhong has been attacked by the enemy, so hurry up and bring [-] troops to support!"

Cai He was worried about Cai Zhong and went out immediately.

The distance between the two places was less than fifteen miles, and after a while, Cai He's reinforcements arrived.

At this moment, the city was almost unable to hold on anymore, and it was not until Cai Zhong saw the reinforcements that he finally raised his spirits again.

But he was still too happy.

Because, as soon as Cai He arrived, he was discovered by Liu Ke.

Without hesitation, Liu Ke sent Lu Bu to fight.

Before Cai He arrived at Dunsai City, he was blocked by Lu Bu on the road.

He had never met Lu Bu before, he only saw that the other party had only [-] soldiers and horses, so he came to stop him.

So, Cai He said carelessly: "Hmph! You really underestimate me, Cai He, can this little force stop me?"

After Cai He finished speaking, he would order the whole army to attack.

However, before he gave the order, the person on the opposite side suddenly took the lead, rushed out from the formation, and came straight to Cai He.

For a moment, Cai He was even in a trance: "What is this person doing?"

Not only him, but even Cai and the soldiers in front of him were also stunned.

It was in this dazed effort that Lu Bu rushed directly into the formation.
