Chapter 381 – Battle of Xiapi – Part 1
August 1st, 190 A.D.
It was still summer in Xiapi. Rainfall was frequent during this period, and river tides were higher than the usual.
Yuan Shao and Tian Feng prepared everything to welcome Cao Cao's massive army.
Yuan Shao's 100,000 soldiers did not station only on the wall top or behind the city, but they also stationed their elite cavalries and infantries in front of the gate.
On each wall, Yuan Shao placed ten cannons on top, while the rest of the cannons were hidden with Tian Feng ambush force.
As for the other ten, Tian Feng took them to protect a dam, north of Xiapi.
Tian Feng hid his 25,000 infantries in a forest to the north, directing water from Yi River and building a dam. He had created a flood trap, which could be used against Cao Cao Army.
