The head hurts so much!

. . . . . . . . . . .

A crescent moon hangs high in the night sky, and the cold moon scatters on earth, covering everything with a pale coat, which has a unique sense of desolation.

Under the moonlight, more than 400 riders galloped northward.

The yellow clawed lightning horse ran like the wind, and Cao Cao on the horse's back looked deep and turned around from time to time to look back.

"The Prime Minister doesn't have to worry too much..." Jia Xu, who was standing beside him, noticed Cao Cao's expression and comforted him, "Cao Hong and Le Jin are both long-time generals on the battlefield. In addition, our army is already prepared, so it is not easy for Zhang Fei to attack.

As long as the Prime Minister returns to Xuchang as soon as possible, he can draw troops and reinforcements..."

"Wenhe, what other places can be mobilized?" Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually replied this.

Hearing such an answer, Jia Xu let out a sigh of relief. It is obvious that Cao Cao did not lose his sharp and profound thinking because of his concern for Cao Hong's army.

He gently beat the horse and maintained the speed of galloping. Jia Xu thought for a moment and replied: "Apart from the troops guarding Xuchang, Runan, Yingchuan and Luoyang may not be able to send troops out.

Going further away, Bingzhou must leave enough troops to defend the northern border of foreigners, and they cannot squeeze out people..."

After pausing, Jia Xu gave a more accurate answer: "In Xu's opinion, there are probably only three soldiers who can really count on - Jibei, Yanzhou and Yongzhou..."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and was about to say something when he saw Xu Chu leaning over.

"Prime Minister, you and Lord Jia, Lord Man will follow the third son first, and then catch up!" Xu Chu said in a muffled voice.

Cao Cao and Jia Xu both looked terrified and asked anxiously: "Zhongkang, is the enemy catching up?"

"It's not a pursuer..." In the eyes of Cao and Jia, the two of them were slightly surprised. Xu Chu replied in a muffled voice, "It seems that there is an ambush ahead!"

Although Xu Chu said it was "like", Cao Cao believed it deeply. As a super expert at Xu Chu, he was not only far more flexible than ordinary people, but also could sense dangerous existences first at some point.

Surprised, Cao Cao believed in one thing even more——the Jingzhou army did have a conspiracy.

Being able to arrange ambush troops on the road where Cao's army retreated north first is enough to illustrate the problem.

"General Xu, how many ambushers are there?" Jia Xu asked anxiously.

"..." Xu Chu looked up at the night sky ahead. He seemed to be sensing something, and after a moment, he said, "It shouldn't be too much, but it's better to be careful!"

"Go around!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Zhongkang leads the way ahead and bypasses them..."

"General Xu, let the team stop first..." Jia Xu gave Xu Chu a command, then stopped his horse and said to Cao Cao. "Prime Minister, Zhang Fei is good at using a series of strategies. Since he has set up an ambush, he will never let us go around easily.

In Xu's opinion, it would be better to lure out his ambush first. Then break through in one fell swoop!"

Without further ado, Cao Cao, who was also rescinded, understood his meaning. After thinking for a while, he nodded. He immediately called Xu Chu, Man Chong, Cao Zhang and others to discuss urgently.

.

When the Mercedes-Benz cavalry arrived at a slightly undulating area, the ambush arrived as scheduled.

Although he was careful, the first seven and eight riders were still caught by some point, and immediately lost their balance and fell into trouble with the men and horses.

What followed was a dense rain of arrows. Countless black shadows jumped up and quickly surrounded them.

"Retreat, retreat. Go back..." Amid the muffled shouts, the slightly panicked cavalry began to turn around and retreat.

"Stop them and kill!" A loud shout also came from the dark shadow.

Just as both sides retreated and were entangled, another cavalry wrapped in cloth under their hooves roared.

The leader of the ambush knew something was wrong, and he even realized that this cavalry was the real big character. He hurriedly called on his soldiers to give up the pursuit and instead intercepted the later cavalry.

However, the cavalry that was originally retreating turned around and started attacking actively.

A melee began...

.

After getting rid of the ambush in a slightly embarrassed manner, Cao Cao, Jia Xu and others were under Cao Zhang's escort. They slowed down a little.

The enemy soldiers who set up the ambush were all infantry. As long as they got rid of the encirclement, they would not be afraid of catching up with them again.

After three cups of tea, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.

"Father's prime minister is a tiger and leopard cavalry!" Cao Zhang caught up with him and reported to Cao Cao.

"It must be Zhongkang's pursuit." Cao Cao breathed lightly without anyone's opinion and ordered Cao Zhang in a deep voice, "Ziwen, slow down and wait for Zhongkang!"

"No!" Cao Zhang took the order loudly.

Soon, Xu Chu was finally caught up with a cavalry.

"Zhongkang, isn't it?" Cao Cao asked anxiously with concern when he saw his beloved general.

"This guy was shot by an arrow, and the last general is nothing!" Xu Chu patted his horse off and replied in a muffled voice, "The tiger and leopard cavalry has broken more than 50 more cavalry. Please forgive me!"

"It's good if Zhongkang is not in trouble!" Cao Cao said disrespectfully, "How many ambushers are there?"

"There are only 3,400 people, but they are all proficient in night battles, use terrain well, and their fighting skills are very strange. The leader is very good at fighting. He has fought with the last general a few times, and there is no place to be too disadvantage." Xu Chu thought for a while and replied.

"It seems that there are indeed ambushings in other places, and I have no hope of going around!" Cao Cao did not think that his opponent only arranged 3,400 people to set up ambushings, and said in a deep thought.

"Prime Minister, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Just be careful, let's hurry up first!"

"kindness……"

.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Huan barely pressed down the tumbling blood, and used a knife to support the ground, staring at the night sky in the north, and sighed: "What a Xu Chu! Maybe Cao Cao escaped..."

"Commander, what should I do next?" A military Sima walked to Zhu Huan and asked respectfully.

"Continue to ambush. Wait for the rabbit!" Zhu Huan grinned and pulled out the ring-headed knife inserted into the soil and carried it on his shoulder.

………………………………………………………………..

Maintaining twelve minutes of caution, the huge army marched towards the north at an extremely slow speed.

Nearly 50,000 infantrymen were among them, and more than 4,000 cavalry were sprinting around, and Cao's army was on high alert for possible raids.

After three full hours, the army only advanced less than 10 miles.

At this time, it is approaching the ugly moment. This time is the most tired and sleepy moment for people.

Always maintaining a high alert state will cause serious consumption of the physical strength and spirit of the Cao army soldiers.

The long-term failure of enemy troops to attack invisibly caused the soldiers to relax their spirits. The relaxation of their spirits immediately responded to their bodies, and yawns rang one after another.

"Everyone is cheering up!" The commanders and the army Sima of each unit kept shouting and scolding orders, but they still could not stop the soldiers from reacting naturally on their bodies.

In fact, except for Cao Xiu and the cavalry led by Cao Zhen, the other infantry had experienced a bloody battle a few hours ago...

"Uncle Hong, you have walked so far. Maybe the enemy will not come to attack you." Cao Ren's son Cao Tai couldn't help but yawn, looked up at the sky, and said to Cao Hong in confusion.

"Zi Shi. Be cheer up!" Cao Hong slapped Cao Tai on the head as if he was heavy and solid.

"The more you think you are safe, the more you should cheer up!" Le Jin focused on observing the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Fei is very good at surprise attacks. You must not relax for a moment before dawn!"

As if it was confirming Le Jin's words, the horns suddenly sounded from both sides of the Cao army. At the same time, countless torches lit up from a distance, and the shocking shouts and killing sounds shook the earth...

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, stop moving forward."

"Rigate on the spot, light a torch, and prepare for the fight!"

"The cavalry on the left and right wings are running. Prepare to guerrilla enemy sideways!"

Cao Hong's expression changed drastically, and he roared immediately, and issued countless orders in succession.

"Array, array..."

The military force, which was originally in silence, suddenly came alive. Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted and ran around, forming a huge circular formation in a very short time, like a turtle retracted into a shell, leaving no opportunity for foreign enemies to take advantage of.

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu led the cavalry to run in a row. They appropriately distanced themselves from the main infantry so that they could respond from other directions at any time.

However, in the middle of the night, no one can tell what traps or conspiracies the enemy had. Although Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were not timid, they did not dare to take the risk to approach.

After a long time, the horns remained, the torches remained, and the shouts of killing remained, but the enemy was not attacking and killing.

The Cao army soldiers were nervously arranged in the position and were shocked and suspicious, but they did not dare to relax at all.

"What's going on?" Cao Hong rode his horse out of the army and asked loudly in surprise, "Come on, ask Cao Xiu to send a scout to see what the enemy is doing?"

"promise!"

"Uncle Hong, will Zhang Fei tease us?" Cao Tai rode his horse to Cao Hong and said with anger.

"Even if it's teasing, you have to endure it!" Cao Hong said this, but his right hand tightened significantly when he held the knife.

Cao Hong was originally a hot temper. When he was a teenager, he had a story about killing people in his hometown due to resentment and anger. In recent years, as he grew older, he became mature. At this moment, he was even more responsible for Cao Cao's heavy responsibility and had to work hard to suppress his anger.

After waiting for a long time, not only was the soldiers on the battlefield tired and exhausted, but even Cao Hong's own eyes were sore, but he still didn't see any real movement from his opponent, and he didn't even see the scouts who were rewarded.

"What the hell is Wen Lie doing?" Cao Hong hung up the big knife and slapped his right hand hard on his thigh, almost to the point of being furious, "You can't do such a small thing!"

Cao Tai, who was waiting for persuasion, saw Cao Xiu galloping over on his horse.

"Wen Lie, what's going on? Has it been discovered?" Cao Hong asked anxiously without caring about getting angry.

"Uncle Hong, the situation is not good..." Cao Xiu shook his head.

Before Cao Xiu could finish his words, Cao Hong hurriedly said, "Does there be many enemy troops?"

The answer was somewhat unexpected: "I sent two groups of scouts without exploring the Qing Dynasty, but I couldn't rely on it at all. The enemy arranged for people to hunt down our scouts."

"Two batches don't work, only three batches and four batches. In short, you must find out clearly!" Cao Hong's anger burst out.

Before Cao Xiu could reply, a sudden change occurred, and the horns, shouts of killing and the torches suddenly disappeared again, as if they had never existed.
