On the official road, more than ten war horses galloped over.

Because the distance is still relatively far, Liu Zheng can't see clearly who these people are and whose command they belong to, but the number of more than ten war horses and the movement of galloping are enough for Liu Zheng and others to pay attention.

He planted 2,000 soldiers and horses in the distance, intending to cut off the opponent's retreat, and then rush out when these horses galloped to the ambush point.

But when more than a dozen war horses approached, Liu Zheng was stunned.

The person who came was not the official army, not the Cao Cao he expected, but Zhou Cang!

"It's him, Zhou Cang, how can it be him!"

Liu Zheng's expression was wrong, but he immediately ordered his people to rush out and stop Zhou Cang.

"Stand up!"

Liu Zheng was the first to rush out and shouted a reprimand.

Hundreds of people suddenly came out from both sides of the official road, making Zhou Cang, who was galloping, look shocked, and hurriedly restrained the war horse.

looked around vigilantly, and when Zhou Cang saw that it was Liu Zheng, Zhou Cang and others, he temporarily relaxed his nervous expression.

"Liu Zhengqushuai, it's you! I was scared to death, I thought the officers and soldiers had set up an ambush here! ”

Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief, and his highly nervous expression immediately relaxed, but Liu Zheng still saw the embarrassment in Zhou Cang's eyes at a glance.

"Brother Zhou Cang, why are you here, aren't you at the North City Gate to support the army outside the city?"

Liu Zheng looked at Zhou Cang's body, at this time Zhou Cang was in a mess, not to mention that he was untidy, his face was still covered with bloodstains, and there were some blood scabs on his body that had congealed, as if there had been a big war, but he didn't know if these bloodstains on his body were his own or someone else's.

"Liu Zhengqushuai, I want to ask you this, why are you here?"

"We escaped from Runan City, and we wanted to set up an ambush here to fight the chasing soldiers of the officers and soldiers who chased from Runan City, but we didn't expect that it was you who were waiting!"

As soon as he talked about the chasing soldiers, Zhou Cang's expression tightened.

"Chaser! That's right, the chaser! There are pursuers behind me, not far from us, Liu Zhengqu Shuai, you continue to ambush! ”

Zhou Cang said suddenly, and asked Liu Zheng and the others to immediately continue to ambush.

Liu Zheng was also shocked by Zhou Cang's words, and he didn't talk nonsense with Zhou Cang at the moment, so that everyone who had just rushed out immediately ran back to hide.

As for Zhou Cang and more than a dozen remnants, Liu Zheng did not let them continue to escape, and simply let them act as bait here to attract the pursuers behind.

After everything was arranged, it didn't take long for the sound of war horses galloping from the rear of the official road again, and this time the movement was much louder than that of Zhou Cang.

Even if he hadn't seen anyone coming, Liu Zheng had already guessed that the cavalry that came this time would definitely exceed a thousand!

The formation is not small, and the movement caused is naturally large, and those chasing soldiers have not really approached Liu Zheng's ambush point, which has already made these infantry around Liu Zheng look a little ugly.

Thousands of cavalry, I'm afraid that this has already been assembled, and most of the cavalry that can be mobilized under the command of Huangfu Song.

After all, Huangfu Song itself does not have any cavalry, as far as Liu Zheng knows, it is still the era of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the imperial court has not yet set up the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden.

The five schools of the Northern Army originally had eight schools, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the soldiers and horses were reduced, and only five battalions of soldiers and horses remained, which were the Praetorian Guards of the Beijing Division of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the most elite soldiers and horses in the hands of Huangfu Song.

Although Huangfu Song's crusade against the Yellow Turban Army this time was only 40,000 in total, except for the five schools of the Northern Army, the rest were just strong men recruited by himself

And Liu Zheng had learned some of the five schools of the Northern Army before, and only two battalions of men and horses belonged to the cavalry.

The Yue cavalry battalion is a cavalry battalion composed of some attached Yue people.

The Changshui battalion is a cavalry composed of some Changshui Xuanqu Hu people.

The number of the five colonels of the Northern Army was comparable, and the first battalion was probably more than 700 people.

Only this time, Liu Zheng didn't know whether these cavalry who came to pursue them were the cavalry of the Yue Cavalry Battalion or the cavalry of the Changshui Battalion. Or maybe both battalions of cavalry were sent by him.

Liu Zheng was not in a hurry to carefully consider which battalion of cavalry it was, and those cavalry that caused the landslide had already raised a puff of smoke and killed him.

brought up a burst of yellow dust on the official road, and appeared in front of Liu Zheng and the others in the blink of an eye.

The leader is Cao Cao!

Seeing Cao Cao, Liu Zheng is no stranger, although it is still a long distance away, but Liu Zheng has already seen clearly, that person is Cao Cao, he will not be mistaken, next to Cao Cao, there is also Cao Ren.

was almost shot by Cao Ren, Liu Zheng is quite attentive to Cao Ren.

"Everyone prepare, Cao Cao's men and horses have entered the ambush range, and when he gets closer, immediately pull the horse rope!"

Now that he knows that the pursuers are cavalry, how can Liu Zheng not fiddle with some means.

The means of dealing with cavalry, tripping the horse rope is the simplest and most effective way, as long as the opponent's cavalry is knocked to the ground and turned into infantry, no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to defeat a hundred on the battlefield!

Cao Cao took a thousand cavalry and quickly pursued, the purpose was to chase and kill Liu Zheng who ran out of Runan City, at first he thought that Zhou Cang and others were Liu Zheng, but after chasing for a long time, he found that it didn't seem to be Liu Zheng, but Zhou Cang's dozen or so Yellow Turban cavalry were always a scourge and must be eliminated.

Cao Cao chased all the way, but at this time, he suddenly saw Zhou Cang in the distance on the official road no longer running away, but reining in the war horse and waiting for them not far away.

Cao Cao, who had always been vigilant, observed the situation around him, the trees were dense and lush, and there was a corner in front of him, and his eyes were not in the depths, and at first glance it was an excellent place to set up an ambush.

Frightened, Cao Cao immediately reined in the war horse.

"There is an ambush, stop advancing!"

Cao Cao shouted! It was still slow to say, after all, no matter how loud his voice was, it could not be louder than the sound caused by the hooves of a war horse trampling on the ground.

The soldiers couldn't hear him at all.

"Pull!"

Liu Zheng shouted loudly and ordered to pull the stumbling horse.

On the official road, a rope suddenly popped up and appeared directly in front of the official cavalry, and the cavalry who rushed in front of them did not notice the sudden appearance of the rope at all, and even if they did, in such a short period of time, they had no time to react.

In this way, the first wave of cavalry, as if scattered by the water, all fell to the ground, and the men turned on their horses.

These cavalry of the Cao army tripped over the stumbling rope, which immediately made Liu Zheng's face happy.
