Now thinking about other people's lives and deaths is useless, what Cao Liang needs to do is to lead this team of more than 200 people to fight their way out of the encirclement, which is the most important problem for him to consider.

He looked up at the night sky, fortunately the weather was sunny tonight, although there was no moon, but there were stars, Cao Liang quickly found the location of the North Star in the sky and determined the direction they were in now.

Relying on the sun during the day and the North Star at night is already the simplest and most practical way to identify the direction that has been handed down for thousands of years, Cao Liang is glad that the weather tonight has helped him a lot, otherwise it will be a tragedy to go around and around to the original starting point.

With Polaris pointing out the direction, everything will go a lot smoother, at least Cao Liang won't get lost.

But what if it's cloudy and rainy today?

In the army, there is Sinan, and Sinan is the kind of thing that is made of natural magnetite ore into a dipper shape, placed on a smooth plate, and the direction is engraved on the disk, and the direction can be discerned by using the role of the magnet guide.

But Sinan is bulky and bulky, which is not conducive to individual carrying, and there are only a few in the entire Zhengnan Army, and Cao Liang doesn't have this thing at all now.

It seems that after returning to Luoyang this time, I have to find Ma Jun to develop a small compass that is convenient for individual soldiers, so that if this situation is encountered, even if it is extremely bad weather, fog and rain, it will not be able to distinguish the wrong direction.

Cao Liang's breakthrough direction was southwest, and after determining the north, it was easy to identify the southwest, and after a short rest, Cao Liang ordered the team to set off and continue to move forward in the southwest direction.

This way forward, all the way to fight, the attrition of the team is very serious, when Cao Liang brought it out at the beginning, there were more than 200 people, not including the members who were included in the lone team along the way, after several bloody battles, there were only about 100 people left.

And Yanghu's side suffered even more heavy losses, initially brought out three or four hundred people, after a few battles, there were only more than 100 people left, especially in the last battle, almost wiped out the whole army, Rao is Cao Liang rescued in time, but they still lost nearly 100 people in that battle.

Such a tragic casualty ratio made Cao Liang sigh gloomily, these lost lives, maybe they had greeted them with a smile yesterday, or they may have eaten in a marching pot, but today and tonight, they are all lying on the cold ground, stained with blood in a foreign land.

Now the team led by Cao Liang has a survival rate of less than three, so the entire team of 30,000 people, Cao Liang doesn't know how much can still survive now?

The Xiao cavalry battalion is what Cao Liang is most concerned about, and I don't know what the situation of Wenqin Deng Ai Shibao is, the Xiao cavalry camp is even with people and horses, and the movement is very great, which will inevitably attract the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Wu army, I hope that their strong impact can break through the siege of the Wu army and can fight a bloody way.

The battlefield is undoubtedly the biggest exercise for people, Yanghu and Du Yu have not yet reached the crown, if they mix in Luoyang City, they are completely light and slow with young and frivolous Shijialang, and now they have experienced this battlefield of blood and fire, and they are no longer childish, covered in blood, but their eyes are as firm as iron.

Maybe they will feel sick and uncomfortable when they kill the first enemy, but this way down the slash, but it is full of blood and impassioned, only those who have experienced life and death, know the preciousness of life, if you don't want to fall on the battlefield, then you must let your enemy fall, this is the law of the battlefield.

A battle can change a person's perception, can make a coward strong, can make a cowardly become fearless, and can also make a person grow up quickly.

Because of this battle, it may be possible to make Yanghu and Du Pre's road to famous generals start earlier and go further.

Further on, Cao Liang's luck was obviously good, he did not encounter another ambush by the Wu army, although he still encountered a few Wu army's men and horses along the way, but the Wu army lit torches and completely exposed himself, Cao Liang only needed to avoid them to avoid the battle.

This is already a peripheral area, the shouting and killing has gradually calmed down, and the men and horses stationed in the Wu army seem to be a little lax, they are only stationed on some avenue passes, blocking the traffic arteries, and there is no more carpet-like search.

This undoubtedly provided convenience for Cao Liang's breakthrough, but the avenue was impossible to walk, Cao Liang could only lead the team to advance on the small road in a roundabout way, sometimes there was no road, he could only step on the thorny hillside, and he could only wade through the small stream and river.

Fortunately, this area does not have that kind of steep and rugged peaks, nor does it have that kind of wide and turbulent river, the hills here are relatively low and gentle, even if there are some ups and downs, but not precipitous, the river is also mostly some tributaries of the Huai River, the depth of the water is not too high, when encountering the crossing of the river, the Wei army only needs to wade through the river.

After a long night's journey, Cao Liang and his entourage had arrived at a place about twenty miles away from the starting point, and the Wu army that could be seen at this time was getting smaller and fewer, and Cao Liang estimated that they were not far from breaking out of the encirclement.

The more this time, the more vigilant they should be, the east is already a faint dawn, the morning mist is diffusing in the forest, and the heavy fog affects their direction and their sight.

At this time, Wu Jun no longer needed to light torches for lighting, so it was already difficult for Cao Liang to spot Wu Jun from a distance, and only by walking dozens of zhang in front of him could he see if there was anyone on the other side.

This is undoubtedly very dangerous, because once the other party is discovered at such a close distance, the other party will inevitably find itself, and a hand-to-hand battle will be inevitable.

If the other party is only a small Wu army, then there is no fear, just kill them and scatter them, but if you encounter a large group of Wu soldiers and horses, then the situation will become very bad.

Cao Liang was really secretly glad that there was Wu Jun helping them "illuminate" along the way, so they had a chance to come here, and it seemed that the enemy's stupidity was really a big help for them.

Now that the sky is almost dawn, this advantage is gone, Cao Liang needs to be even more careful, he ordered the team not to make noise, not to talk to each other, even the footsteps should be as soft as possible, not to make any noise, in order to avoid alarming the sudden appearance of the enemy.

And Cao Liang pricked up his ears and listened carefully to all the movements around him, at this time it is particularly important to find the enemy in advance, although the dense fog is the biggest umbrella, it can escape the enemy's resistance.

But at the same time, the fog is also full of dangers.
