Cao Hong thought for a while, hesitating.

If it were before, even as long as he was not injured, Cao Hong would not take the pursuer seriously, and would have simply brought his people to ambush him and killed him and left again.

But now...

"Master! Make a decision quickly!" said the guard, "Let the young general pursuers lead away!"

Cao Hong finally agreed to the guard's suggestion, "You must be careful too! If it really doesn't work, just escape separately! Only by leaving your life can you avenge this great revenge!"

The guard smiled, "A little life is a bad life..."

"No! From today on, you are not a bad life!" Cao Hong held the guard's hand, "You have been with me for many years... Now in trouble, you will know the true feelings! You have to return to the Central Plains, and you and I are brothers! You are all my brothers of Cao Hong!"

Cao Hong said loudly, then patted the arm of the guard leader, "You all will survive! Then we will eat meat, drink and enjoy the happiness together!"

The little leader of the guard looked very moved, "Master! You can leave now with your people, just leave a few good men with me!"

Cao Hong hesitated for a moment, but shook his head and said, "How can you stop it just by leaving a few people? I will leave more people for you! Even if you can't stop the pursuers, it's safer for you to go together!"

Cao Hong led a small number of people to the west, while the small guard leader stayed with relatively more people.

On the cliffs and stone walls, these remaining Cao soldiers either sat or leaned on them.

They were all very tired.

There are no bold words or generous words.

Everyone wants to live, but someone will inevitably face the threat of death.

They were Cao Hong's last armor and shield. From the day they served as Cao Hong's guard, they were destined to face these threats of death.

These are the people who advised Cao Hong to escape, but the people who stayed to intercept the pursuers are also the same people.

They said that these people were brave, but when they saw that the momentum was wrong, they were the first to persuade Cao Hong to escape.

Let's say these people are cowardly, and they are brave again at this time...

At least the courage on the surface is also amazing. After all, there are more people who cannot even be brave on the surface.

Whether it was Cao Hong's substitute at Suoyang Pass before, or now he took the initiative to stand up to stop the pursuers, it can be said that these people are all desperate people, but it also proves that the complexity of human nature is not completely analyzed and mastered by unchanging formulas.

Suddenly there was some miscellaneous noise in the distance, and the remaining Cao troops immediately hid their bodies and were ready to face the battle.

However, these Cao army soldiers had not undergone special training after all. Before they could fully enter their ambush circle, they discovered them...

『Shoot!Shoot!

『Aim and shoot again!』

There were not many arrows left on both sides. After firing for three or two rounds, they lost the support of long-range firepower.

The mountain mist whizzed past, which also affected the accuracy of shooting.

After seeing that the interception and ambush had no killing effect, the small guard leader immediately fled south with his men.

"They fled south!"

A Hussar soldiers shouted at the figures of the Cao army.

『Go to the south?』

I was always stunned for a moment.

He was also injured, and it was not easy to persevere until now.

But the opponent turned to the south, but it made him always confused.

Because Cao Hong had been heading west before, now he suddenly changed direction. Either Cao Hong was going to turn here, or he was...

"Don't hurry to chase after me!" I always shouted, "Look for any other traces first..."

The mark of blood can become a mark, but it cannot be the main tracking target.

Because other Cao army soldiers may also be injured, or even "intentionally" injured.

Therefore, the main criterion for judgment is the number of people.

Or the number of traces left on the ground.

The number of people is different, and of course the number of traces of human activities left behind is not consistent.

Hussars scattered, looking for these traces on the ground.

After a while, the Hussars discovered two traces in different directions.

The journey is south, with more people, while the journey is west, with less people.

There are many people, go south.

There are few people, go west.

In which direction should it be?

Or are both directions wrong? Cao Hong actually hid somewhere nearby, waiting for us to chase him and then took the opportunity to turn around and go back?

...

...

Lu Chang looked at the Hussars and cavalry rushing in the twilight, his face looked ugly.

He felt like a joke.

He had a premonition before, and he made a mistake in judgment, and now this premonition is placed in front of him.

But he couldn't say it out loud, he could only force himself to keep a glimmer of hope of luck.

If I had evacuated earlier, I would have probably run back, but now...

Lu Chang is also an old army. Even if he is an elite, he can tell whether he is an elite or not from close observation.

These cavalry that seem to be freely moving on horseback are not only very well-equipped, but also have a high and full momentum. They are simply different from the Cao army soldiers beside Lu Chang.

In addition to having a slight advantage at the beginning and being relatively high in momentum, the Cao army was passively beaten in the middle and late stages. To a large extent, it still relies on Shandong's consistent policy of ignoring the people, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.

Even this kind of inertia of fooling people is gradually unable to control the situation.

Lu Chang was helpless and a little depressed.

If the soldiers did not mutiny, he should have arrived at the front military camp of the Cavalry. No matter whether the attack succeeds or cannot be defeated, there will be a result and the job can be finished as soon as possible.

As a result, it delayed...

In fact, when we set out from Zhongtiaoshan Camp, we had already started to delay.

Lu Chang didn't take it seriously at that time.

Why did Cao Jun become what he is now?

When Cao Cao raised an army in Chenliu and fought south and north, even when facing Yuan Shao's aggressive momentum, he did not say that he would collapse like he said it would collapse like now...

Lu Chang looked at the direct guards beside him.

If you can't win, then whether you can escape back depends on them.

When he saw these Hussar soldiers running down the mountain, Lu Chang lost confidence in defeating the former military camp, and he also doubted why he had "guilted" Dong Zhao's advocacy before, thinking that it was "there was an opportunity"?

It is really necessary to let Dong Zhao see these Hussars and cavalrymen in front of him with their own eyes, and then formulate any strategies!

The only thing worth being grateful for now is that because the soldiers mutinyed and wanted to eat, Lu Chang did not directly attack the former military camp. So now he did not encounter these Hussar cavalry in the wild. At least there was a defensive position. Even though the position was simple, it could be considered that Lu Chang and other Cao's soldiers had some psychological comfort.

Wait until dark and retreat!

At that time, the lanterns are dark, and even if the Hussars want to chase, they may not be able to find who is who!

The rapid sound of horse hooves roared from a distance, and then did not immediately hit the infantry front on the hillside, but often circled the two wings along the foot of the mountain, just like flowing water encountered a reef, and did not knock the reef over in an instant, but entangled, looking for an opportunity to overturn it.

The sound of horse hooves like rolling thunder made the soldiers of the Cao army tremble. They recalled the battle dominated by the Hussar cavalry before, and some people were even so nervous that their hands and feet twitched involuntarily.

Fei Qian and his troops from the back formation did not move.

"Report to the cavalry! No branch of the thief army was found within five miles!"

"The enemy's ambush was not found!"

"No exception!"

Fei Qian listened to the feedback from the scout Youqian, holding up the telescope and checking around.

The gradually lowering night covered most of the colors and made the field of vision compressed to a very small range. Even if there is a telescope, it is impossible to see the changes in the distance. It can only be judged based on whether there are lights or not.

"Is there really no backup?"

Fei Qian looked at the fire rising from the hill, "Or those firelights are signals?"

Until now, Fei Qian was still wondering if there were other Cao troops lurking around and prepared to fight. He even asked someone to go to the front military camp and informed the military academy in the camp, so that they could not leave the camp, so as not to happen in case.

Fei Qian knew that if he was cautious ten thousand times, he might be ridiculed as timid and cowardly, but as long as he was careless once, he might never hear these ridicule...

"Master! Will you fight?"

Huang Xu arrived in front of Fei Qian with a look of eagerness to try.

If you want to fight now, it is equivalent to fighting at night, but if you wait until dawn, you will have more dreams at night.
