Two days later, the scout Pegasus reported: "General Xue, General Yue Yun has led the vanguard cavalry to arrive at Runan City and officially defend Runan City.
The main infantry led by the two generals Lü Meng and Huo Jun in the back is estimated to arrive in Runan tomorrow evening."
From Wancheng to Runan Zhisho Pingyu, a distance of about four hundred and fifty miles, and also facing the entanglement of Yang Su and Yu Ban, Yue Yun and Lu Meng's advance speed can already be called divine speed, and Xue Rengui is deeply satisfied with this.
"Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, the soldiers under Yue Pengju's command are really impressive, all the soldiers, I have to work hard."
Xue Rengui glanced at the civil and military forces under his command, and clenched his fists to boost morale: "Since Runan City has the guards of Lu Meng and Yue Yun, it is enough to resist Cao Ren's attack.
We will abandon Ruyin now, reinforce Shouchun to the east, join forces with Ma Dai, defend the city, and wait for Zhuge Kongming's reinforcements to arrive."
"Willing to be dispatched from the general" The generals and colonels headed by Lu Junyi and Ma Zhong surrendered their orders together, indicating that Xue Rengui was the first to look forward.
Xue Rengui stood in front of the sand table and said in a loud voice: "If our army abandons Ruyin, Cao Ren and Sima Yi will definitely chase after them."
Therefore, the general decided to retreat as an advance, first go out of the city and attack the Wei army for a while, and then quickly get rid of the entanglement of the enemy army and quickly withdraw to Shouchun when the other party does not understand the intentions of our army."
"This plan is very good, the last general is willing to ask for a soldier and horse to set up an ambush on the road, if Cao Jun dares to chase after him, he will definitely be caught off guard."
Ma Zhong expressed his support for Xue Rengui, and then took the initiative to ask Ying.
For Ma Zhong's ambush ability, no one in the Eastern Han Dynasty was unconvinced, and Xue Rengui was naturally no exception.
After listening to Ma Zhong's request, he immediately allocated 5,000 soldiers and horses without hesitation, and asked him to choose a place to set up an ambush on the road from Ruyin to Shouchun.
"Soldiers, follow me out of the city" After the dispatch was completed, Xue Rengui wore armor, covered with white robes, carried thousands of miles of clouds and smoke, held the thunder and green dragon halberd, stepped on the red rabbit horse, and led 30,000 horses to rush out of Ruyin County like a whirlwind, killing Cao Ren's camp ten miles away, preparing to advance and retreat, first kill Cao Jun by surprise, and then take advantage of Cao Jun's failure to react to retreat to Shouchun.
Seeing that the Han army came out of the city to fight, the door of Cao's camp was wide open, and Cao Ren was fully clothed, leading Zhang Yan and Yan Xing, two generals, to raise 30,000 troops to kill out of the camp, and confronted the Han army.
When they were separated by a hundred feet, the two armies fired their bows and crossbows in unison, shooting at each other's feet and shouting at each other.
Xue Rengui urged the horse to lift the halberd, and went straight to the center of the battlefield, and pointed at Cao Ren with the thunder green dragon halberd in his hand: "Cao Ren, you traitorous thief, dare to go out and fight with me If you win, Ruyin will send it with both hands, if you lose, obediently roll me back to Xuchang."
Cao Ren urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and laughed: "Haha Xue Li, Xue Li, your trick is also useful to deal with a scheming man like Lu Bu, if you want to be filial piety to me, do your Spring and Autumn Dream Go will be brave in the plot, which one wants to fight with you alone Huainan Emptiness, my Cao Wei army came with the momentum of Mount Tai pressing, this time vowing to take Hefei and go straight to Jinling" "Gutsless rats" Seeing that the distance was only fifty or sixty zhang, Xue Rengui wanted to rely on the horse to capture Cao Ren quickly, and his legs were clamped violently in the belly of the mount under his crotch, urging the horse to stand up and take Cao Ren directly.
Cao Ren knew that he was not Xue Rengui's opponent, so he turned his horse and left, and went straight to his own phalanx and returned.
Xue Li urged the horse to dance the halberd, and chased after him, "Cao thief is leaving" The red rabbit horse was full of wind, and it was about to catch up with Cao Ren, and in an instant, the bows and crossbows in the Cao army's array were fired together, and the arrows were like flying locusts, Xue Rengui could only wield a halberd and dial the eagle feather, and he could no longer move forward.
Lu Junyi knew that General Cao was afraid of Xue Rengui's prestige, and did not dare to fight alone, so the unicorn in his hand lit a steel spear and ordered the whole army to assault, "The soldiers will charge with me" "Kill" With an earth-shattering shout, 30,000 soldiers followed the steps of the two main generals, brandishing swords and guns, and the smoke and dust billowed under the feet of the trampling, covering them like a tide.
Seeing the Han army charging forward, Cao Ren broke off with a bow and crossbow, fought and walked, did not initiate hand-to-hand combat with the Han army, and retreated to his own camp in an orderly manner.
Xue Rengui and Lu Junyi had the intention to frustrate the morale of Cao Jun, and waved their troops to chase forward, chasing all over the mountains.
"Moo" When there were only two or three miles away from Cao Jun's camp, Xue Rengui suddenly heard a burst of cow barking from behind Cao Jun, and couldn't help but be stunned: "It's strange, why is there such a large-scale cow barking sound behind Cao Jun."
As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly raised his halberd and ordered the team to stop the pursuit: "Pass my order, stop the pursuit, and beware of Cao Jun's deception."
A three-zhang high command platform in the camp of the Cao army, wearing a navy blue robe, wearing a scarf on his head, stood on the high platform and looked at the situation on the battlefield, when he found that Xue Rengui was attracted by Cao Ren, he couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile: "Sure enough, as I expected, Xue Rengui was eager to abandon Ruyin and go to Shouchun to sit in town, this is to prepare to retreat, fortunately, he has been prepared."
Amid the murmurs, Sima Yi waved his flag on the high platform, signaling Cao Ren's army to separate on both sides and make way for the Fire Bull Array to charge.
As Sima Yi's green flag was unfurled, sixteen signal soldiers on the command platform waved the green flag at the same time, conveying orders to the chaotic Cao army.
"Dodge on both sides" Cao Ren straddled his horse and danced his sword, separating from the Cao soldiers who were ordered to retreat by Yan Xing and Zhang Yaner, but whenever his steps were a little slower, he collided with his horses.
The land of the Central Plains is fertile, especially in Qiaojun, Chenjun, Yingchuan and other places, so almost every family of the people has cattle.
Sima Yi expected that Xue Rengui would abandon Ruyin and retreat, so a few days ago he ordered the Wei army to requisition more than 1,000 cattle from the people, and secretly hid them in the camp.
"Moo" The door of Cao Junzhai was opened, and more than 1,000 cattle were tied with knives, guns, hooks, halberds, and reeds and withered grass were tied to their tails, and they were stained with pine resin, sulfur and other combustibles.
The archers of the Cao army hid in the distance, and fired arrows at these oxen, which ignited many reeds in an instant, and these cattle were crowded together, like a spark burning the plain, burning more and more in an instant, almost every ox's tail was on fire, and the fire was amazing.
In order to prevent the frightened cattle from fleeing into the camp and rushing their own positions, Sima Yi had already made preparations, and when he drove the cattle to the front of the camp gate, he blocked the fence around the cattle, so that the frightened cattle could only desperately rush out of the camp gate and flee south.
Cao Ren also made preparations according to Sima Yi's instructions, and after the two sides of the army were separated, he connected them with a large shield and built a shield wall, so that the fire oxen that rushed out of the camp flowed forward along the ditch like a flood, and rushed into the Han army that was following and chasing with a surging momentum.
"Moo" Burned by the fire on their tails, the cattle chirped hysterically one by one, and rushed towards the Han army like waves, rolling up the dust and covering the sky.
"Don't retreat, don't retreat" Sima Yi's yin trick was unguardable, Xue Rengui was shocked and angry, knowing that retreating could only be trampled by these cattle chasing behind, causing a lot of death, it was better to bear it hard.
These cattle have rough skin and thick meat, and although they are not as fast as war horses, their impact is definitely not to be underestimated.
"Hoohoo" Xue Rengui roared angrily, brandished the green dragon halberd in his hand, and successively cut down several crazy scalpers, commanding the Han army behind him to block the fire ox formation with a horse rejection gun.
At this moment, the position of the Han army is like a dike, and this herd of fire oxen is a rushing flood, if you can stop it, you can make it obey, or let it divert to another place.
Once the levee is washed out, it will roar over and swallow everything.
"Resist, resist" The Han soldiers who rushed to the front held up their repulsive rifles, formed a formation, and withstood the impact of the fire ox.
Even if one is swept in, the second cow must not be allowed to rush in, and even if it is rushed into the second, the third must not be allowed to rush in More than 1,000 fire oxen charged forward hysterically, and the soldiers of the Han army carried their spears to resist it to avoid being rushed to pieces.
With the recommendation of time, the fire ox that was blocked behind began to run around in a hurry, and the galloping momentum slowed down slightly, and the Han army fought and walked, retreating in an orderly manner.
Although there were a lot of casualties caused by this wave of fire bull formation, and it is estimated that at least more than a thousand people were buried under the hooves or horns of the ox, at least they were not rushed to the formation of a rout.

Otherwise, it would not be a few thousand casualties.
Slowly, the reeds on the tails of these cattle have burned out, and the corpses of the cattle everywhere have been burned to death by the fire, and more have been stabbed to death by the spears of the Han army.
The threat of the Fire Bull Array was finally eliminated, and Xue Rengui hurriedly ordered a retreat.
Sima Yi saw it clearly on the high platform, and praised it repeatedly: "Xue Li still has some ability, he was not disrupted by the fire bull array, but if he wants to retreat with his whole body, how can it be so easy?"
Sima Yi put down the command flag in his hand, twisted his neck with an exaggerated length, and ordered the heralds beside him: "Blow the horn and order Cao Hong to break the embankment."
"Woo woo" In accordance with the agreement, the step-by-step horn sound sounded in the Cao army's camp, which was passed in turn and fluttered for more than ten miles.
"Burst the embankment and release the water" Cao Hong, who had been in charge of the water for many days, heard the horn sounding and immediately ordered the embankment to be burst and release the water to cut off Xue Rengui's retreat.
For a time, the flood rushed and swept down, washing away many Han troops who were caught off guard.
Xue Rengui hurriedly led his troops to retreat to the high ground to avoid the flood, fortunately there were not too many soldiers who were washed away and drowned, but the road to the east was cut off by the flood.
Cao Hong led 10,000 people on a bamboo raft and boat, went down the water, and fired crossbows and crossbows from the Han army trapped on the high ground on the water, and the two sides exchanged fires.
Suddenly, a soldier shouted loudly: "General Cao, look downstream, a Han army has been dispersed, go and arrest people."
Cao Hong stood on the bamboo raft, covered his eyes with his hands and looked downstream, only to see that on both sides of the road, many Han troops in ambush were caught off guard by the rushing flood, and were swept up downstream by the waves, many people were struggling on the water, and the muddy river Shanghai was fluttering with the "horse" flag.
Cao Hong was overjoyed, and with a move of the spear in his hand, he abandoned Xue Rengui and led his troops to follow the flood and go downstream to harvest people's heads. t1706231537:
