Chapter 42: Ambush Out

The Yellow Turban Thief fled in the wilderness, not only deceived Cai Mao, but also deceived Huang Zhong.

One after another, of course, they would not think that these Yellow Turban thieves still had ambushes hidden behind them and did not come out.

Fleeing as soon as they meet will only make them think that the Yellow Turban Thief does not have the slightest certainty of victory, so they will run away.

If you can't beat it, you can run, this is the fighting style of the Yellow Turban Thief.

This is the Yellow Turban Thief they are familiar with.

So Cai Mao and Huang Zhong chased after them very closely. The difference between the two sides is only a few miles.

After running for more than an hour, he was already far away from Caiyang City for dozens of miles, deep in the mountains, surrounded by no people, and some were only lush with trees.

Because of the trees and weeds, Cai Mao and Huang Zhong at this time have a visual range of no more than 20 meters.

Quite a few officers and soldiers fell behind in the pursuit and did not keep up.

But in order to catch up with those yellow turban thieves, Cai Mao still gritted her teeth and insisted, and continued to chase behind the yellow turban thieves.

At this time, Huang Zhong finally realized that something was wrong.

Those yellow turban thieves clearly don't want to disappear from their eyes, but are hanging them, they stop to rest, and those yellow turban thieves will also deliberately slow down.

Waiting for them to chase after them, the Yellow Turban thieves will immediately speed up their march, always keeping a safe distance from them.

Cai Mao and the others couldn't chase after them, and at the same time, the Yellow Turban Army didn't disappear directly, always deliberately luring Cai Mao and his party.

In this way, the two sides pursued for two hours, and Huang Zhong and Cai Mao and others did not catch up with these yellow turban thieves, getting deeper and deeper, and these officers and soldiers around Cai Mao became isolated and helpless.

Huang Zhong vaguely sensed something, but Cai Mao was still very energetic, commanding the soldiers and horses to continue to chase.

"General Cai Mao, you can't continue to chase, this place is overgrown with grass and dense trees, our army is not familiar with this place, if you continue to go deeper, I am afraid that there will be fraud!"

"Fraud? Hansheng, aren't you too timid? These Yellow Turban thieves are just some rogues, they have no fixed base, they wander in this kind of deep mountains and old forests all the year round, if we let them go this time, and next time we want to catch them, I don't know when. ”

"Besides, we have been ambushed by this wave of yellow turban thieves one after another, where are they still more people guarding here to set up ambushes to deal with us, but I am afraid that it is too late for them to flee for their lives now."

Cai Mao was a little surprised by Huang Zhong's words, in fact, before pursuing this Yellow Turban Army, Cai Mao inquired about the Yellow Turban Army forces in the entire Nanyang County, and the Yellow Turban Army forces with more than 10,000 people will be a little famous, and they will pay more attention to it when collecting enemy intelligence.

But although the number of the Yellow Turban Army encountered now is thousands, they did not appear in the intelligence they collected, so they disagreed, believing that Liu Zheng's Yellow Turban Army was just some people who had flowed from other counties and counties, and they couldn't make any big waves.

Cai Mao's explanation made Huang Zhong want to say more, but finally understood that he couldn't persuade Cai Mao, so he could only nod and sigh.

"Okay, but be careful, be vigilant, don't fall for the enemy's ambush."

"Don't worry, Han Sheng, I'm a perennial commander outside, how can I be ambushed by the enemy one after another."

Cai Mao said to Huang Zhong with a smile, his tone was relaxed and quite confident.

But just as he had finished speaking, an arrow flew in front of him.

It was also Huang Zhong's high vigilance, and when the arrow had not yet hit Cai Mao, he immediately roared.

"Be careful!"

Huang Zhong was startled, instantly pulled out the saber on his waist, and slashed horizontally in front of Cai Mao.

A jingle bell.

The arrow that was about to hit Cai Mao was cut in two by Huang Zhong and fell to the ground.

Cai Mao turned his head to look at it, and when he saw Huang Zhong's movements in one go, as well as the two arrows that fell to the ground, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat.

But before he could fully react, countless arrows suddenly flew from the jungle beside him.

Arrows shot up into the sky, and they struck quickly along their positions.

Huang Zhong only cared about yelling and letting the whole army hide. But his voice and reaction speed could not be faster than the speed of arrows.

Suddenly, the screams in this jungle were repeated, and the 5,000 officers and soldiers were immediately inflicted great losses when they were shot by this burst of arrows.

"Not good, there is an ambush!"

Huang Zhong relied on his agility to dodge the first wave of arrows, and immediately realized that there was an enemy ambush here.

But the enemy is in the dark, and they are in the light.

At this time, they did not know how many enemy troops there were.

"General Cai Mao, we can't continue to advance, we must retreat and retreat to a wide and open place, otherwise, the enemy is secretly harassing us with arrows, even if we have five thousand people, we can't stop the continuous attack of arrows!"

Huang Zhong immediately gave Cai Mao an opinion, and began to command the 3,000 men under his command to begin to retreat.

Although he was assisting Cai Mao, the three thousand people he brought over were still at his own disposal, he didn't want to lose all the three thousand people here, and he wouldn't have the face to see Qin Jie at that time.

And Cai Mao's first wave of arrow shooting did not hurt him, but he was very sad in his heart, and he was attacked by the enemy again, which increased the loss of his soldiers and horses, and seeing that there were still 2,000 people left, this round of arrow shooting killed hundreds of people.

"Withdraw!"

Cai Mao was extremely unwilling, and finally chose to retreat.

Swiftly directing their men out of the jungle, they retreated, firing arrows and arrows, and by the time they retreated, they still lost thousands of men.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army is ambushed here, and there are more than 30,000 men and horses led by Sun Zhong, and these 30,000 people, although not all of them will be equipped with bows and arrows, as long as half of them have bows and arrows, they are also tens of thousands of arrows.

Tens of thousands of arrows were fired, and among the officers and soldiers of only 5,000 people, some people would be hit by more than a dozen arrows at one time, and naturally the losses would be great.

But wait for them to exit the jungle and come to a wide place.

What awaited them was not an easy result, but Liu Zheng led the six thousand men under his command to wait for the battle, surrounded Huang Zhong and Cai Mao's soldiers and horses, among which the most elite hundreds of cavalry under Liu Zheng stood at the forefront, and the war horses let out a fierce neigh.

"Huang Zhong, you're finally here!"

Huang Zhong and Cai Mao finally appeared here, and a smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

At this time, Huang Zhong and Cai Mao and others finally changed their expressions.

Aware of his opponent's ambush, every step is under the control of the other party.

And it's a serial scheme.
