Chapter 903: Cao Jun's ambush is like a fictitious thing

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have made up my mind."

Zhao Hui did not give up personally pursuing Cao Cao because of the persuasion of Xu Shu and others.

If there is hope, Zhao Hui naturally wants to destroy Cao Cao now, and there is no need to wait for the decisive battle of Guandu.

The longer the time drags on, although Zhao Hui's winning chance will be greater, the greater the consumption on Zhao Hui's side.

His battle line was far longer than Cao Cao's, and the number of soldiers and horses also exceeded Cao Cao's, and his daily consumption of grain and grass was three to five times that of Cao Cao.

If you count the grain and grass transported from the rear of Youzhou and Jizhou, the consumption on the road, this amount may have to be doubled.

"Fengxiao, Yuanzhi, you don't have to worry, I will bring Zilong Evil, even if Cao Cao really has an ambush, don't want to hurt me."

Zhao Hui himself is a military general at the peak level, adding Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

If Cao Cao wanted to hurt Zhao Hui, unless he left Xu Chu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to ambush Zhao Hui.

Dian Wei was right, even if Cao Cao really set up an ambush on the road, Zhao Hui and they would be able to push it over.

Cao Cao only has 70,000 horses in his hands, and how many people can he leave behind.

That's 10,000 at most.

He personally led an army of 10,000, would he still be afraid of Cao Cao's ambush?

"Lord, let General Xu Huang lead another 10,000 troops and follow behind." Guo Jiadao.

Taishan County handed it over to Liao Hua, and Xu Huang has not returned for the time being.

Zhao Hui nodded in agreement, and Xu Huang followed behind, which was another layer of protection.

If he really encountered an ambush, Xu Huang attacked from behind, which could make Cao Cao steal chickens and rice.

Even if he can't catch up with Cao Cao's main force, he still has to take down Cao Cao's broken men.

Cao Cao's army retreated quickly.

Since Zhao Hui wants to pursue, he will no longer waste time.

Immediately gather your troops and horses and travel lightly.

I chased after it as fast as I could.

Originally, it was five miles away from Cao Cao's camp, and from receiving the news to Zhao Hui's troops, Cao Cao's army had retreated ten miles.

Zhao Hui wants to catch up with Cao Jun tonight, and he has to be faster than Cao Jun in terms of speed.

After all, there are only 10,000 people, and there is no baggage, just the armor on the body and the weapons in the hands.

Zhao Hui's speed is very fast, even if it is dark now, the speed is not as fast as the day, but it can be twenty miles in an hour.

As long as it takes two hours, you can catch up with Cao Jun before dawn.

Zhao Hui hadn't been on the battlefield in person for a long time.

The last time was when I attacked Jizhou.

"Yuan Zhi, don't worry, the lord will be fine." Guo Jia saw that Xu Shu was still worried, so he was relieved.

With Zhao Yun and Dian Wei here, and Xu Huang following behind, he really didn't have to worry too much about Zhao Hui's safety.

With such a combination, no one in the world can kill Zhao Hui.

It's not time yet, and Zhao Hui still has plenty of time.

"Be careful."

After the empty camp left by Cao Jun, Zhao Hui slowed down a little.

The scouts in front of me have not heard back yet.

I don't know where Cao Cao's ambush is.

To say that Cao Cao did not arrange an ambush, Zhao Hui would never believe it.

Zhao Hui and Zhao Yundianwei are only more than ten zhang apart.

If something happens, you can immediately rescue each other.

The weather tonight was fine, the moon was bright, the sky was dotted with stars, and there was not a single dark cloud in sight.

An army of 10,000 marched silently, with only the sound of footsteps and the crisp sound of the armor on their bodies.

Although the moonlight was very bright, it was limited to the road, and the dense forests on both sides of the road were black, and it was completely impossible to see what was inside.

It feels bad to know that there is an ambush, but you don't know where the enemy's ambush is, and you have to be careful along the way.

That is, because the team is now led by Zhao Hui, Zhao Yundian, and Wei.

If someone else had led the team, the army might have been a little chaotic by now.

Woohoo......

Zhao Hui led the army, passed through the empty camp of Cao's army, and chased forward for five miles, and finally encountered the ambush soldiers left by Cao Cao.

Countless arrows shot out from both sides of the road.

Zhao Hui did not panic because of the ambush.

Instead, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the enemy's traces have also been exposed, I can finally stop worrying.

The dense arrows posed a great threat to the Zhao army.

"Spread out on both sides."

Among the 10,000 troops, they did not carry huge shields. Only some of the soldiers had small round shields in their hands.

But if the small round shield wants to block this dense number of arrows at night, these soldiers can only rely on luck and use the small round shield to protect their vital parts.

The only fortunate thing is that judging from the number of arrows, the number of ambushes is not much.

There will be no more than five thousand people.

Although they were ambushed, the Zhao army was not in confusion.

Because they already knew that they would definitely encounter Cao Jun's ambush soldiers on this road.

Zhao Hui and Zhao Yundianwei each rushed into the dense forest on both sides with a team of people.

"Kill!"

Cao Jun's bow and arrow are not as good as Zhao Jun's.

The first round of arrow rain was unexpected, and when the second round of arrow rain was barely shot, Zhao Hui and Dian Wei were already like tigers entering the flock of sheep and killing into the ambushed Cao army.

The line of sight in the dense forest is worse than the road outside, and it is very dark.

But Zhao Huidian, Wei Zhaoyun, and they all rushed to the front, as long as there were people in front of them, they would slash through with a knife and stab into the opponent's body with a shot.

In the dim dense forest, there were screams one after another.

One Cao Jun after another was killed here.

Although they were ambushers, with Zhao Huidian Wei and Zhao Yun coming in, they had become lambs to the slaughter.

There are only 5,000 ambushes here.

Except for the first two waves of arrow rain, which brought thousands of casualties to the Zhao army, they could not threaten the Zhao army.

It did not surprise Zhao Hui and Dian Wei.

The ambush of the Cao army did not pose much of a threat to them.

It couldn't even stop Zhao Hui for too long.

The ambush ended in almost half an hour.

Mainly because it was dark and there was no light in the forest.

If it was daytime, the battle would have ended sooner.

The screams in the dense forest gradually became less and less.

The follow-up soldiers and horses led by Xu Huang had already arrived, but because the battle was already in the dense forest, and the Zhao army had the upper hand, Xu Huang did not lead the soldiers and horses into the dense forest.

Xu Huang just stood by the side of the road, waiting for the battle in the dense forest to end.

It was too dark inside, and if Xu Huang led the army in, it might not necessarily help, but he might be killed by mistake with the Zhao army inside.

It was too dim, and in the dense forest, Zhao Huidianwei didn't find out which general in the Cao army in this ambush was in charge.

None of them met, and I don't know if they have run away.

"Teams report on the number of people."

At the end of the battle, Zhao Hui asked the lieutenants below to count the number of people in each department.

The specific number soon reached Zhao Hui's hands, and after the ambush of the Cao army, the Zhao army still had more than 7,000 people.

There were nearly two thousand, all of whom had just begun to be killed by arrows.

"Let's go, continue the pursuit."

Zhao Hui did not give up.
