"Really retreated..." Lu Bu said with a laugh.

"There is nothing left outside the city, and there is no food for the troops. If we don't retreat, the whole army will be defeated..." Chen Gong stroked his beard and said, "Most of Cao's army retreated to Juancheng...Cao Pingdong is also a decisive person.

, when we retreat, we must retreat. Our plan to lure the army will not be fully successful, which is also a pity..."

Once Cao Cao retreated to Juancheng, Chen Gong's original plan of letting Zhang Miao cover Cao Cao's flanks was basically in vain. After all, leading a sneak attack and frontal confrontation are two completely different concepts. Zhang Miao

Miao's ability and courage are just that, nothing special can be expected.

"It doesn't matter!" Lu Bu stared at the direction in which Cao Jun was retreating and said proudly, "Let me break it later!"

"Marquis Wen, Cao's army retreated in an orderly manner..." Chen Gong frowned and said, "I'm afraid I'm prepared...it's not advisable to pursue them...However, from Puyang to Juancheng, most of them are flat rivers. Where can't we attack?"

Marquis Wen, please be patient... Cao's army retreats, and it will definitely be slack. Even if there is an ambush, it cannot stay for long... When the ambush is gone, Marquis Wen can lead the cavalry to attack it, and it will definitely be defeated!"

"Well..." Lu Bu nodded and said with a smile, "What Gongtai said is very consistent with a certain intention! Come here! Send out scouts! Keep an eye on Cao's army's movements!"

…………………………

In the Tian family's house in Puyang, the dim lights flickered, and two figures were reflected on the window lintel, sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes left and now right, shaking like ghosts.

"Tian Langjun..." a voice lowered its tone, and only a few words could be vaguely heard, "...will...leave the city tomorrow..."

Tian was pondering. The flickering lights cast dark colors of varying sizes on Tian's face, so dark that it seemed like ink could drip out...

In the past few days, in order to supply Lu Bu's army with food and fodder, Tian had to dig deep into his own family. Seeing the mountain of grain in his warehouse decreasing little by little, and eventually disappearing, Tian's heart felt like a knife cutting through it, bleeding all the time.

!

If this continues, maybe Lu Bu will not necessarily be defeated, but the Tian family will be finished first!

So, the only option is to give it a try.

Mrs. Tian's heart trembled, and she waved, asking the other person to come closer...

Above the window lintel, the shadows of two people met, dancing and dancing, like evil ghosts celebrating.

…………………………

As expected by Chen Gong, after Cao Cao's rear army withdrew, the scouts reported that one or two groups of troops had withdrawn from the ambush and looked eastward.

Lu Bu immediately led his troops to attack. After all, two legs could not outrun four legs. Cao Cao's rear army was quickly overtaken by Lu Bu...

According to Lu Bu's original plan, Cao Cao's rear army should have collapsed upon seeing his cavalry. Then Lu Bu could drive these defeated troops and crush them all the way, just like driving a flock of sheep on the grassland, completely defeating Cao Cao's army.

beat.

But the situation before him was beyond Lu Bu's expectation.

Cao Cao's army after the break was surprisingly strong. After being caught up by Lu Bu's cavalry, they did not collapse. Instead, they immediately shrank their formation and gathered together. Even though Lu Bu's cavalry kept killing a group of them with bows and arrows from the outside.

Another group of people also gathered together firmly and did not mess up their positions. It seemed that they would rather die in battle than retreat even one person...

Leave this group of people behind and move on?

Or should we forcefully eat these people and then pursue them?

Lu Bu frowned and sat on the red rabbit horse, hesitating a little.

It is not easy to replenish war horses, so it is not absolutely necessary. Lu Bu generally will not let the cavalry attack the infantry array densely in one place. This is because the cavalry can only exert its full effect when chasing and raiding the flanks of the infantry array, or at weak points.

It is extremely lethal, but facing the current dense infantry battle formation, a hard attack is not impossible, but it will still cause a lot of damage.

Just when Lu Bu was weighing the gains and losses, smoke suddenly billowed from behind. Lu Bu quickly sent people to investigate, only to find that Chen Gong was leading his troops...

"Gongtai!" Lu Bu said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't guard the city in Puyang, why are you here to find me?"

"Eh..." Chen Gong was also a little confused and said, "Didn't Marquis Wen send someone to convey an order, saying that Cao's army had been defeated, so he ordered someone to come and clean the battlefield and drive away Cao's army..."

"When did it happen..." Lu Bu was only halfway through his sentence when his expression suddenly changed like Chen Gong's.
