Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Xiahou Dun each led 30 personal guards to hide in the darkness, heading toward the three flames in the distance.
Not long after, several loud cries of "enemy attack" came from above Mang Mountain, breaking the silence on Mang Mountain.
"Why are you so slow!" Cao Chun looked down the mountain uneasily.
Fortunately, the Western Liang army did not react to the thunderous clamor at the foot of the mountain.
"If it wasn't for the fact that Chancellor had already calculated it and acted with the excuse of making a ruckus, you guys would have ruined things!”
Cao Chun observed for a moment again. After confirming that no one had discovered it, he felt a little relieved and wiped away the blood and filth on the blade.
On the other side.
Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong followed Chancellor's orders and silently dealt with the two hundred cavalry patrolling the Yellow River.
Behind them, the two of them each led 500 men, one in the east and one in the west, to guard the two main roads leading from Mengjin to Luoyang, preventing the Western Liang army from escaping through Mengjin.
Cao Ren, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Dun returned to the dense forest after destroying the Beacon Tower. They led 9,000 Cao troops and headed straight for Mengjin Pass.
Mengjin Pass was brightly lit.
Cao Cao's army wore armor and was silent.
Mengjin Pass.
Xu Rong stood on the beach, facing the Cao army camp.
However, for some reason, there was still no fire.
It was pitch black.
Xu Rong felt uneasy and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, a flame appeared in front of him.
Then, it turned from a grain to a flower.
The darkness on the other side became a little strange along with the flickering flame.
However, before he could exhale the breath he had just taken, dozens of sparks suddenly floated up from the darkness in front of Xu Rong's eyes.
Then, hundreds of them.
Then there were thousands.
In just a few seconds, the fire on the other side had turned from a lone speck to a patch.
One after another.
One after another.
In the end, it finally formed a complete sea of fire.
Xu Rong let out a long sigh and frowned.
The Cao Army on the other side had already gotten into formation, looking murderous.
They were actually able to form such a neat formation under the cover of the night?!
Xu Rong looked at Li Meng beside him.
It was not hard to see that he was also shocked by this.
"What's that?" Xu Rong turned his head and suddenly found a little fire in the river, slowly approaching.
A few torches lit up in the river at the same time.
Xu Rong saw it clearly now.
It was a small boat.
There were four or five figures standing on the boat.
Above the four or five figures was…
" Does Cao Cao not want to live?!"
Xu Rong's pupils constricted as he blurted out.
The four or five figures on the boat were clearly the flag of Cao Cao's army!
Who else could it be but Cao Cao?!
The drums behind Cao Cao thundered as the Cao army methodically walked onto the bridge and continued their work.
Wooden boxes were pushed into the river from the shore one after another. They were tied with ropes and covered with wooden planks.
With every step the bridge took, Cao Cao's flag would move forward.
For every ten feet the bridge was completed, Cao Cao's flag would advance another ten feet.
"How can he be so fast!" Xu Rong was shocked by Cao Cao's speed.
According to his previous estimations, even if Cao Cao used a pontoon bridge, he would only be able to reach the beach at Mengjin Pass by tomorrow morning.
However, with Cao Cao's current speed, if he didn't stop him, he would be able to reach him in less than two hours!
Xu Rong slapped his head.
That Cao Cao had used such a slow speed to build the pontoon bridge a few days ago. He was clearly trying to confuse him!
But what was Cao Cao trying to do?
Did he really dare to let those thousands of people cross the river on this floating bridge?!
Even if there were tens of thousands of people, wouldn't they be courting death if they crossed the river on this pontoon bridge?!
Xu Rong beat the drums and ordered all the soldiers in the camp to get up and form an array by the river bank.
It would take about an hour for one to two thousand people to get into formation.
However, there were already 1,500 people lined up on the shore. It was not a big problem to fight for an hour.
The pontoon bridge was about 150 steps away from the beach of Mengjin Pass.
Xu Rong could already see Cao Cao's face clearly.
He was sure that it was Cao Cao.
"Archers, get ready!"
With Xu Rong's order, two hundred archers stepped out.
If Cao Cao took another twenty steps, he would be within the effective range of the arrows.
"Could it be Cao Cao's plan to tire the enemy out?”Li Meng still couldn't believe that Cao Cao would dare to cross the river.
Xu Rong did not answer.
Another 15 minutes passed.
Cao Cao was about to reach the shooting range.
At this moment, he suddenly bent down and picked up something from the boat. Then, he turned around and left Xu Rong with his back.
Suddenly, a drum sounded.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Dong dong-dong dong-dong dong"
"Dong dong dong-dong-dong"
"Dong dong…"
Cao Cao's arms danced up and down, one after another.
The drumbeats came one after another, one after another.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Cao Cao's army shouted to kill!
The pontoon bridge continued to move forward, and Cao Cao's small boat continued to move forward.
Xu Rong ordered him to shoot arrows.
Dozens of Cao Cao soldiers fell.
Cao Cao let the arrows hit his body and continued to beat the drum, not moving at all.
"Does Cao Cao really want to die?”Xu Rong was already stunned by Cao Cao's indomitable aura.
The Western Liang army behind him was the same. Their formation had loosened.
"Don't be afraid, continue shooting!" Xu Rong ordered.
Another volley of arrows rained down, and this time around a hundred Cao soldiers fell.
However, Cao Cao's flag continued to slowly move forward.
"Light the beacon!"
Xu Rong had already realized that Cao Cao might really have come to die today!
But…
Why did Cao Cao do this?
What was Cao Cao's reliance?
"Not good, enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
A few howls suddenly came from behind Xu Rong.

After today's update, he really didn't know how the other great gods were able to code 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a day. The small authors were able to code less than 15,000 yuan a day until their brains were cramping. They were kneeling down to wait for the ratings!!! I beg readers and young authors to have a more in-depth philosophical exchange in the comments section!
