Chapter 729: Shi Xu's Three Battles
The night fell again, and this time Xiang Liang rested half an hour early.
The safety of the first two days seemed to make Xiang Liang relax his vigilance, and the alert range of ten miles became five miles, and the number of people on guard was also reduced.
However, what Xiang Liang didn't know was that when he relaxed, Cao Ren began to exert his strength, and Cao Ren's army did not rest in advance as usual, but continued to advance.
"Zixiao, you've finally figured it out!"
Seeing that Cao Ren really planned to continue to pursue Xiang Liang, Xu Chu was very happy.
"It's not that I figured it out, but this was my plan." Cao Ren said with a smile,
"What's the plan?" Xu Chu was puzzled.
"I deliberately didn't pursue to make Xiang Liang careless, and the other thing is to let the soldiers recuperate." Cao Ren replied.
"I see!"
Xu Chu suddenly realized,
"What's going on with General Shan?" Cao Ren asked suddenly.
"His men are right behind our army." Although Xu Chu didn't know why Cao Ren asked, he still said truthfully.
"Let them keep up, and don't rest just yet." Cao Ren commanded.
"Good!"
Two hours later, the army had advanced more than twenty miles, for it was nighttime and the army was advancing more than half as slowly as it was during the day.
If it were daylight, the army would have advanced fifty miles by this time.
"Give the order to go down and camp on the spot!"
Xu Chu thought that Cao Ren would continue to pursue, but Cao Ren ordered to camp on the spot.
"Why did you stop again?" Xu Chu was full of puzzlement about Cao Ren's order.
"There is no need to catch up at night, no matter what, Xiang Liang is not a mediocre talent, even if he is careless, it is impossible not to defend at night, and the scope of the fortification is very large, we will only startle the snake if we continue to catch up, and we will continue to approach during the day, and we will definitely be able to catch up tomorrow night."
Cao Ren explained,
"Hey, hey, I don't understand all that, but it sounds reasonable, so be it." Xu Chu said helplessly.
At this time, the distance between Cao Ren's army and Xiang Liang's army was less than ten miles, and perhaps it was about to catch up as Cao Ren said.
In three days, he had already walked more than 400 miles, and the distance from Xiangcheng was only so far at this time.
The sky was slightly bright, and the two armies began to advance in no particular order.
And I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, Cao Jun's speed gradually became faster, and Xiang Liang's army's speed was still the original speed.
It was another day's chase, and Xiang Liang's army had stopped to rest before the time.
After three days, Xiang Liang seemed to be more careless, and the alert range changed from five miles to three miles, and not only him, but also the soldiers were a little relaxed, which was also the reason why the army could not raise the speed.
And they didn't know that the danger had arrived, and Cao Ren slowed down a few miles away from them.
"Command to go down and let all the cavalry dismount." Cao Ren said to Xu Chu.
"Good!"
Xu Chu agreed, along the way, the cavalry often dismounted and led the horse, just to reduce the damage and fatigue of the horse.
"Why did General Cao let the soldiers slow down?" Shan Xiongxin asked puzzled.
Shan Xiongxin had already caught up with him alone during the day, of course, this was Cao Ren's order.
"I estimate that the distance from Xiang Liang's army is not far now, and the sound caused by too fast is too loud, slow down first, and try not to startle the snake." Cao Ren replied.
"I see!"
Regarding Cao Ren's decision, Shan Xiongxin will not object to it now, and the question just now is just a coincidence.
In an hour, the whole army had advanced only five miles, a speed that was extremely slow even at night.
"General!"
"How's it going?"
Seeing the person coming, Cao Ren hurriedly asked,
"Some people were found about two miles away." The man replied.
"Is it Xiang Liang's army?" Cao Ren already had a guess in his heart, but he still asked.
"It's not the main army, it's supposed to be the one they are guarding against."
"It seems that Xiang Liang's army is nearby, do you know how far away Xiang Liang's main army is?" Cao Ren continued to ask.
"I don't know the specifics, but my subordinates think that the distance between the Xiang clan's army and our army should not exceed five miles." The messenger replied cautiously.
"Okay, I see, you're going to keep an eye on it, and if you have a chance, kill a few." Cao Ren commanded.
"No!"
After the messenger left, Cao Ren asked Xu Chushan Xiongxin to come over.
"Just now the spies have reported that Xiang Liang's people have already been discovered, if the expectation is good, Xiang Liang's army is only five miles away from our army." Cao Ren said to the two.
"Is Zixiao planning to go to war?" Xu Chu asked excitedly,
"That's what I'm going to do." Cao Ren nodded directly.
"That's great!" Xu Chu's face was full of surprise, and Xu Chu was thinking about revenge all the time.
"Zhongkang is still you the pioneer this time, I don't know if you are willing?" Cao Ren asked.
"Leave it to me!" Xu Chu agreed without thinking about it.
"General Shan led the troops to attack from the left, and a certain leader led the troops to attack from the right." Cao Ren continued.
"Understood!"
Shan Xiongxin nodded,
Excluding the soldiers who stayed in the camp and escorted grain and grass, Cao Ren's army now has more than 60,000 people, about three times the army of Xiang Liang on the opposite side.
After a stick of incense, the army began to move, and Xu Chu led the cavalry to rush out.
And in front, Cao Jun's spies are constantly assassinating the spies of the Xiang army.
……
"Kill, kill, kill......"
Xu Chu led the cavalry into Xiang Liang's barracks.
"Meet the enemy!" Shi Wansui took the lead and led his troops to meet him.
Cao Ren's people found Xiang Liang's people, and Xiang Liang's people later also discovered Cao Ren's people.
"Ding!" The system detected that Xu Chu and Shi Wansui were at war, Shi Wansui's basic force was 103, the Thunder Green Dragon Halberd was 1, the Plate Rib Ink Qilin was 2, the current force was 106, Xu Chu's basic force was 99, the Fire Cloud Knife was 1, the Yellow Antelope Ma was 2, and the current force was 102.
"Ding!" Xu Chu's "Tiger Idiot" attribute is activated, the force is increased by 3, and the current force is 105.
"Ding!" Shi Wansui "Brave" attribute is activated, force plus 3, current force 109.
……
"In the middle of the night, what are you fighting!"
The sudden system prompt sound undoubtedly woke Liu Wei up, of course, this is not the first time, but this time is very special, because just an hour ago, he only finished struggling on Diao Chan, and it was an exception twice, plus dealing with a large number of government affairs during the day, people are a little tired.
Liu Wei has always wanted to solve this trouble, but he is sorry that the system does not solve it for him at all, and sometimes Liu Wei suspects that the system deliberately does not help him solve it.
Liu Wei knew that there would be a system prompt coming next, so he didn't continue to sleep, and Liu Wei moved the hand on Diao Chan's chest.
"Boom ......"
Diao Chan seemed to feel discomfort in his chest and showed signs of waking up.
Well, since this is the case, then Liu Wei is no longer polite, and his big hands are even harder.
"Your Majesty!"
Diao Chan opened his sleepy eyes and shouted weakly, but Diao Chan was still awakened by Liu Bian.
Diao Chan's voice His Majesty was directly numb to Liu Bian's bones, plus the two of them were not a single thread, Liu Bian was no longer polite, and turned over,
"Oh......"
……
The battle between Xu Chu and Shi Wansui here has entered a white heat, of course, this so-called white heat is only twenty or thirty rounds, and as time continues, Xu Chu gradually falls into disadvantage.
Like last time, Xu Chu didn't take off his armor to fight, firstly, there was no time, and Shi Wansui did not give him a chance, secondly, this was a scuffle, and there could be knives and guns at any time, and there were hidden arrows.
"Ding!" Shi Wansui "Good War" attribute is activated, force plus 4, current force 113.
After the two fought for fifty times, the battle situation was completely obvious, Xu Chu was completely suppressed, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
"Kill, kill......"
Just when Shi Wansui led people to fight with Xu Chu, and the army faintly suppressed Xu Chu's army, there was a shout of killing on the left side of the camp, led by Shan Xiongxin.
The main army followed behind Shi Wansui, and after Shan Xiongxin's men killed the barracks, Xiang's soldiers and horses were directly suppressed.
"Kill! Kill ......"
Not long after Shan Xiongxin on the left appeared, another army appeared on the right, which was led by Cao Ren.
"Withdraw!"
Shi Wansui dared to delay and immediately led his troops back to the camp.
"Chase!"
Seeing that Shi Wansui ordered a retreat, Xu Chu immediately sent troops to catch up, but he did not act himself.
The battle just now still made him palpitate, just now Shi Wansui showed no mercy, every time he came at Xu Chu's body, it was thrilling.
