"What the hell is Zhang Fei doing?" As he said this, Cao Tai felt cold in his heart.

The sound of shouting, horns, and the disappearance of torches did not make Cao Hong and others feel even more uneasy.

No one can see how many enemy troops are hidden in the darkness, and no one can guess what conspiracy the enemy is using the darkness to create...

"Send the order, the entire army will continue to be on guard, and do not neglect it!" Cao Hong's teeth creaked and suddenly shouted, "Wen Lie, send additional scouts, be sure to find out the situation of the enemy! If there is any abnormality, you will immediately repay!"

"No!" Knowing that the clan uncle's anger was approaching his limit, Cao Xiu did not dare to say anything and immediately rushed away.

.

Half an hour later, Cao's army was lifted from guard.

Staying nervous for a long time has caused great loss to the soldiers' mental strength, and many people have already sat down on the spot.

Some experienced grassroots officers shouted loudly, ordering the soldiers not to sit down and keep standing. They knew that once they sat down at this moment, their bodies would feel extremely sore and soft, and they might not be able to recover within one or two hours.

Once the enemy really launches an attack, these people may have to wait for death.

Supported by his companions, the soldiers who were slumped on the ground stood up again.

.

Cao Hong convened Le Jin, Cao, Xiu Cao Zhen, Cao Tai and others to conduct emergency discussions.

"Will you wait until dawn to set off or continue to march..." Under the torch, Cao Hong gave two choices with a gloomy expression for the generals to discuss.

"After this riot, all the soldiers were tired and dark.

It is difficult to detect the enemy's abnormal movements..." Le Jin was wiping his sword to adjust his physical and mental state. Hearing Cao Hong inquired, he looked up and replied, "Continuing to march will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

It’s better to rest on the spot for the time being and wait until dawn before retreating..."

"If you wait until dawn, wouldn't you give the enemy a chance to siege? Maybe the Jingzhou army has not been able to really catch up so far. That trick just now is just their trick to delay our army's actions!" Cao Tai said objecting.

"In my opinion, I'd better set off as soon as possible. Regardless of the enemy's tricks, speed up the march and leave here early..."

"Wen Lie, has the scout found any information?" Le Jin was not angry at Cao Taidi's rebuttal and turned his head to ask Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu shook his head and said helplessly, "The fourth batch of cavalry scouts have been sent. There are also some infantry scouts, but there is no news yet.

Zhang Fei, this bastard, didn't know how many people he sent to hunt. The scouts could not find anything when they got closer, and there was danger when they got farther away...

A scout who fled back reported that there was a group of people in the Jingzhou army who were good at sneaking and hiding. In addition, it was dark, and it was difficult for the scout to discover anything!"

Cao Hong glared at the tiger's eyes, about to say something, but suddenly, he showed an odd look on his face, walked a few steps away from the crowd, and looked southward.

Among the dozens of people involved in the discussion, Cao Hong was standing and facing south. The others had not noticed anything at all. When they saw Cao Hong's actions, they were all surprised.

Le Jin vaguely felt something, and turned back to the sword and jumped up. He strided towards Cao Hong.

"Wenqian, look..." As if he knew that Le Jin had come, Cao Hong raised his hand and pointed his hand without looking back.

Following the direction of Cao Hong's finger, Le Jin saw the subtle red light in the sky south. Because the army had raised many torches, the subtle red light against the backdrop of these torches was not easy to identify.

"Fire?!!!" Le Jin blurted out, "It seems to be in the direction of Wancheng... Could it be that the Jingzhou army is..."

Cao Hong turned around and said in unison with Le Jin: "Attack Wancheng!"

Just by visual observation, the red light is definitely no less than 7 or 8 miles away from where Cao Hong and others are. However, with the light of ordinary torches, it is difficult to see again if it exceeds 5 miles, which means that the red light is not one or several torches emitted.

It is likely that one, or even several buildings are burning.

From Wancheng to here, there is no house on the more than 10 miles along the way, and there are not even a few trees. From this point of view, it is only possible that it is Wancheng...

"Uncle Hong, what's wrong?" Cao Xiu and others rushed over and asked in confusion.

"The Jingzhou Army is probably attacking Wancheng..." Le Jin replied.

"What?"

Cao Xiu and others hurriedly raised their eyes and looked south.

"Maybe we can withdraw now..." Cao Hong's eyes flashed with a faint light in the black, and he said with a little excitement, "Let's go, let's make up together!"

.

Just on a torch, Cao Hong spread out the map and said, "Although the detailed movements of the Jingzhou army cannot be found for the time being, it is almost certain that Zhang Fei divided a group of troops to attack Wancheng.

In my opinion, Zhang Fei must have wanted to capture Wancheng first and then plot against our army.

After the division of troops, Zhang Fei was short of troops, so he did not dare to attack our army. But in order to delay our army, he used the previous suspicious trick. If our army waited until dawn, it would leave time for it."

"Uncle said it's reasonable!" Cao Tai nodded repeatedly, reached out and slapped his thighs, and said excitedly, "We can't wait any longer, it's better to set off as soon as possible!"

Le Jin frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to give up.

Seeing that there was no objection, Cao Hong stood up and shook his hand heavily: "Tell the army to speed up.

Wen Lie and Zi Dan are cautious in guarding the left and right wings of the army. If the enemy forces harassment plans again, you two cavalry troops will be responsible for dealing with it!"

"promise!"

………………………………………………………….

Soon, Cao Hong's army began to march to the north at a speed of more than three times the previous one.

It seems to confirm Cao Hong's analysis. After the army accelerated its march, although the enemy still used horns, torches and other means to harass them again and again, it was never serious.

As Yin approached, the army was 25 miles away from Wancheng. The road that was rushing in this one and a half hours was far beyond the previous three and a half hours.

But gradually, the sequelae of the accelerated marching began to appear. The soldiers of Cao's army had not been able to rest for a long time before, and after another hour and a half of marching, their bodies were exhausted.

.

"General Cao, it is not advisable to rush forward anymore!" Le Jin rushed to Cao Hong's side and said with a serious expression, "The soldiers are all tired, and if they continue to march, it will greatly damage our army's combat effectiveness.

If the enemy attacks at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

Cao Hong looked up at the sky: "It's already Yin hour. If you're rushing for another hour, it's going to dawn. After dawn, you won't be afraid that Zhang Fei will play any tricks. It's better to rest at that time..."

"I always feel an ominous feeling that I can't explain..." Le Jin said without giving up, "Zhang Fei is extremely cunning, I'm afraid he won't let us evacuate Wancheng so simply..."

Before Le Jin finished speaking, the thrilling and powerful horns of the ox horns soared into the sky again. What was slightly different from the previous few times. This time there was a horn and a shout of killing, but there were countless torches missing...

"Damn..." Cao Hongdi's expression was more angry than shocked, and he spat on the ground impatiently, "Is it over? What are you doing with such useless ghost tricks?"

The Cao army was already used to the enemy's harassment with "heavy thunder and little rain". Except for the cavalry on the periphery, the other infantry still maintained a speed and did not even react to a large point.

However, Cao Hong soon discovered something was wrong...

Amid the sound of the majestic horns, the earth began to tremble slightly, and a huge roar quickly approached from the east and west sides.

"Enemy attack!" The cavalry of Cao Zhen's troops on the right wing first rang out, and then the rushing battle horn quickly blew up.

The cavalry of the Cao Xiu tribe of the left wing soon responded.

"Enemy attack! Fight! Fight..."

.

"I've been trapped!" Cao Hong suddenly changed his expression and said in a dismay.

When he felt the earth shaking at the first moment, Cao Hong knew that a large group of cavalry was running towards this side on the battlefield for a long time.

Although Cao Hong was impatient, he was not unscheming and thought about it for a while.

He realized that he had been trapped in a series of tricks of "taking virtual as real, and real as virtual" by the enemy's previous bluffs were just to confuse himself and relax his vigilance.

After several false attacks, a sudden real attack was captured by Cao's army's mentality of starting to relax.

"General Cao, although the enemy's plan is complete, our army has not been very passive yet. It is still time to reorganize the army immediately!" Le Jin raised the big sword on the side of the horse and said to Cao Hong urgently.

"Blow the trumpet. Send the whole army to stop the march. Reorganize the army on the spot to fight!"

"Array, array!"

Cao Hong roared loudly without hesitation.

The army in the march immediately stopped and arranged the army in a hurry according to their respective teams...

The sword is unsheathed, the bow and crossbow are opened, and the spear is stabbed in front of the spear and halberd...

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer, the sound of horns is getting faster and faster, and the trembling of the earth is getting more and more violent...

The heartbeat of Cao's soldiers who were in a hurry to line up quickly and their scalp began to numb, as if the rushing cavalry frenzy would flood themselves at any time.

Cao Hong, Le Jin and others shouted loudly at the top of their lungs, and finally completed the array before the enemy raided.

The rumbling of the horse's hooves did not seem to be approaching or staying away. Perhaps the enemy cavalry was looking for fighter jets.

While waiting anxiously and nervously, half an hour passed and a ray of light began to shine in the sky.

The enemy cavalry still did not attack. Cao Hong was shocked and asked someone to greet Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen went to spy on Xu Shi.

At this moment, the rumbling sound suddenly began to go away until it disappeared.

Tens of thousands of Cao soldiers looked at each other, maintaining their array postures, and they didn't know what to do.

"Mom Zhang Fei, I must kill you!" Cao Hong's face turned pale and he inserted the big knife into the soil with anger. He couldn't help but roared to the sky.

"General Cao, it's already dawn, so let's take a break!" Le Jin rushed to Cao Hong's side and persuaded him in a slow tone.

"Rest, rest..." Cao Hong shook his hand angrily, turned over and dismounted, found a stone to sit down and became sulky.

The soldiers who had been working all night and half a day felt like they were lying limp. After listening to the order of rest, they sat down on the ground with relief.

.

"Woo~~Woo~~!" In the distance, the horn sounded again.

"Ah~~!" Cao Hong grabbed the edge of the stone sitting with one hand, and all the blue veins on the back of his hand burst out, and he roared like crazy.

The repeated harassment of Cao Hong has reached the limit of patience, but he still can't vent his feelings.

.

A cavalry rushed over, and the knight immediately dismounted and reported urgently: "Report to General Cao, the army of Jingzhou is coming from the east!"

Before Cao Hong had time to think, another cavalry arrived: "Report to General Cao, the Jingzhou army approached from the west!"
Chapter completed!
