"Run, run, the cavalry is back!" Chen Xian roared in a terrible voice while beating his horse and galloping wildly.

A reconnaissance team and the soldiers who followed Chen Xian to the camp heard Chen Xian's voice and did not know why, but when they heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves and felt the ground tremble, they realized that something was wrong.

"The cavalry of the dry army has come back" One of the soldiers finally reacted, and they fled to their own high ground.

It was chaotic, chaotic, and completely chaotic, and more than 400 soldiers of the Song Army were scattered at this time, and the formation was scattered, and they were so frightened that they fled for their lives, completely lost their organization and discipline, and fled out of the camp in a mess.

Chen Xian and Huang Dian escaped from the camp on horseback, and Cao Ming, the commander of the Qianjun army, led his cavalry brothers to collide at high speed, and more than 400 Song soldiers just escaped from the camp at this time, and were hit by the Qianjun cavalry.

"Bang Bang Bang ······" One by one, the soldiers of the Song army were knocked into the air, some were stabbed to death by spears, and some were split in half by the knives of the cadres.

More than 400 Song soldiers were charged by the cavalry of the cadre army, and the whole army was exhausted!

Chen Xian and Huang Jian ran back to the high ground with only a few soldiers, and Cao Ming, the commander of the cadre army, chased the cavalry to the bottom of the high ground and ushered in a rain of arrows, hurriedly reined in the horse and stopped the pursuit, and the cavalry of the cadre army obeyed Cao Ming's order to withdraw in anger.

"It's so exciting, it's so exciting, hahaha······" A cadre who followed Cao Ming burst out laughing as he rode into the camp.

The silence in the camp suddenly returned to the noise, the lights were bright, and after a busy day, the soldiers began to eat.

Cao Ming summoned the herald: "Send someone to contact the remaining secret sentinels to see how many losses there are!" ”

"Yes!"

After Cao Ming finished eating, the herald came back and reported: "Commander, the secret post lost three people, who were killed in battle after being discovered by the Song army, and the others are intact!" ”

Cao Ming nodded: "Pass the order, let this batch of dark sentinels withdraw to rest, and replace them with another batch of dark sentinels!" ”

"No!"

Cao Ming then summoned a few generals under his command to discuss and said: "The Song army is entrenched on the high ground, and has dug trenches, built fences, arrow towers and other fortifications, we are cavalry, and the strength is small, if it is forced to attack, it may suffer heavy losses, so it is not advisable to attack, our army's task is only to contain and stare at this Song army, tonight's battle, our army won a small victory, because the Song army generals are eager to fight, but you can not be complacent, after this battle, the Song army will definitely be more cautious, They shouldn't be able to do anything more tonight, so you can rest assured and boldly! ”

The generals clenched their fists one after another: "Obey the order!" ”

After the colonels returned to their troops, they ordered the soldiers to sleep boldly and with peace of mind.

It didn't take long for the camp to fall silent again.

Cao Ming ordered to extinguish all the lights in the camp again, which could make the Song army on the high ground suspicious again, and did not dare to come to attack the camp easily, for fear of fraud.

When all the lights in the camp were extinguished, Cao Ming walked out of the camp tent and looked up at the high ground where the Song army was entrenched in the distance, where it was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Someone, I'm going to sleep, if there is an enemy situation outside, report it quickly!" After Cao Ming finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the tent.

"Yes, General!"

Song Army Heights.

Chen Xian's tent lit a faintly lit oil lamp, his face kept changing under the illumination of the light, and several generals and officials in the tent were silent.

General Huang Wei had a sad face, and his men and horses were all wiped out in the process of the cadre army rushing and killing just now, and now he has become a veritable commander of the light pole.

"Joining the army, the morale of the brothers in the other buildings has fallen to the valley, now what should we do, you better make plans quickly, if not, before the cadres come up, the brothers will collapse on their own!"

Chen Xian raised his head, at this moment he had already made a decision, his task had actually failed, and he would die if he went back, even if Li Shan was not his direct boss and had no right to dispose of him, when he arrived in Ba County, Li Shan reported the situation to the imperial court, and the imperial court would definitely be held responsible.

If you want to survive, the only way is to save yourself, how to save yourself?

"Pass the order down, let the soldiers be ready to retreat overnight!"

Chen Xian's order made all the generals stunned, and General Huang remembered what Chen Xian had said to him before, and asked, "Where do you want to go to join the army?" Chengdu City? ”

"That's right!"

A general surnamed Xiang said: "Joining the army, we don't know what the situation is outside Chengdu, even if we get to Chengdu City, we may not be able to enter the city!" In addition, the cadres have already deployed their troops under the city of Chengdu, so wouldn't we be caught in the net if we go there now? ”

Chen Xian asked rhetorically: "Where do you think it is safe to go?" What other places in Bashu are safe? Is there a city with thicker walls than Chengdu? Is there any city that has more grain and grass hoarded than Chengdu? ”

"The imperial court will not watch Bashu being captured by the Qianguo, the imperial court will definitely send troops, as long as we hold on to the defenders of Chengdu City and the assassin Shiji until the arrival of the imperial army, we can not only be exempted, but even earn credit!" If we withdraw, or even withdraw from Bashu, although we can live for the time being, if the court investigates it, we will all have to be dismissed and imprisoned, do you want to fight, or escape from Bashu and wait for death? The choice is yours! ”

The generals and officials looked at each other, they seemed to have no choice, everyone knew that there was still a chance to fight, and they would withdraw from Bashu and wait to be dismissed by the imperial court.

General Huang is now the commander of the light pole, he can only follow Chen Xian closely, hugging his fists and saying: "Join the army, the last general will go to Chengdu City with the army!" ”

Other generals and officials had no choice but to stand up and surrender their hands: "The last general and others will obey the dispatch of the army!" ”

"Well, order the soldiers to prepare for evacuation! General Xiang, please send an elite scout team to clear the secret posts and scouts of the cadre army in the direction of Chengdu City, open a retreat channel, be sure to tell them, do it quietly, don't make a noise, once it is discovered by the people in the cadre camp, our intentions will be guessed by the cadre general, and then it will be troublesome! ”

"Understood, the last general will arrange it!"

Everyone in the cadre army thought that after the previous battle of empty camp and turn raid, the Song army would definitely not dare to take any more action in the second half of the night, but everyone was wrong, including those newly appointed cadre army secret sentinels.

These cadres did not think that the Song army still had the courage to make a move in the second half of the night, so they hid in hidden pits one by one and fell asleep, and the cadres and soldiers in the direction of Chengdu did not know that the god of death had descended on them.

When these cadres were sleeping soundly, one by one the Song army scouts quietly touched over, several cadres were killed in their sleep, and a few were killed before they had time to warn after waking up.

Although the operation was quite difficult, and the Song army also lost several scouts, it finally opened the passage to Chengdu City without alarming the soldiers and horses in the camp of the cadres.

"Join the army, the brothers have solved the secret posts and guard posts of the cadre army in the direction of Chengdu City, and they can set off at any time!" Xiang Jian walked quickly to Chen Xian's side and hugged his fists to report.

Chen Xian and the other generals didn't expect to succeed so quickly, Chen Xian asked, "How many losses do our scouts have?" ”

"I lost three people, and killed a total of six secret posts of the cadre army!"

At this time, General Huang said: "It's quite easy, if that's the case, we might as well send scouts to kill the enemy scouts who are quite low to the cadre army, and then kill them all in one fell swoop!" ”

General Huang's proposal made the eyes of other generals brighten up, and they were all eager to try.

Chen Xian thought for a while and shook his head and said: "You think too simply, the direction leading to the camp of the cadres is the area where their scouts and guard posts focus on defense, the possibility of our scouts succeeding is very small, once discovered, the vigilance of the cadres will increase exponentially!" The guard posts they deployed in the area leading to Chengdu City are weak because they didn't even think that we were going to withdraw to Chengdu City! ”

"For the sake of safety, let's not make any extraneous branches, and besides, since we have already decided on the retreat strategy, we can't change it half-heartedly, which will not only be detrimental to our army's actions, but will also seriously affect morale!"

The generals and officials were very ashamed when they heard this, and they all bent down and hugged their fists and said: "The lesson of joining the army is right!" ”

"All the buildings are ready?"

"Back to join the army, everything is ready, ready to go!"

Chen Xian immediately led the generals to all the generals, who had lost 400 people in the first battle just now, and only 1,600 people remained.

Chen Xian's voice was very low: "Soldiers, the current situation is very unfavorable to our army, if our army wants to live, the next action must be taken by surprise, so that the cadres are unexpected, so this army decided to take everyone to Chengdu City again, and when we arrive near Chengdu City, this army will send people to contact the defenders in the city and ask them to open the city gate, as long as we enter the city, we will be safe for the time being!" Okay, without further ado, let's retreat overnight, no one is allowed to speak loudly, cough during the move, and go! ”

The 1,600 Song army, led by Chen Xian and others, retreated overnight in the direction of Chengdu City along the passage opened by the scouts.

After dawn, the officers and soldiers of the cadres woke up one after another, and the camp soon began to be noisy, Cao Ming went out of the camp tent and looked at the high ground, and found that there was no movement on the high ground where the Song army was entrenched, so he was relieved.

Until noon, there was not the slightest movement on the high ground, and there was no movement of people.

Cao Ming frowned and thought, the more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong, even if Song Jun was frightened last night, it wouldn't have been the slightest movement for most of the day, could it be that Song Jun was dead? They don't have to eat, drink, or go to the toilet?

"Here, let the first building send a reconnaissance team to the mountains for a tentative reconnaissance, go quickly!"

A reconnaissance squad slowly approached the hill in battle formation, with shields and knives in front, spears in the middle, and bows and arrows in the back.

It was not until the reconnaissance team went up to the top of the mountain that they found that the entire summit was empty, and the tents were all empty, and there was no figure in sight.

"What? Song Jun is gone? Cao Ming's mind was stunned after hearing the report, he only won a small victory in the middle of the night last night, but he didn't expect to be pulled back by Song Jun in less than half a day, is this the retribution that got carried away?
