The scout thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"The army heard the drums of war beating, like the sound of chariots and horses, and there were often soldiers singing, and morale was high. However, the terrain of its army is high, and it is impossible to see the appearance of the army. I can only see that the footsteps outside are dense, and the military formation is very large. ”

Speaking of this, he also hesitated, scouts generally judge the number of people according to the size of the military formation, but although the formation of that army formation is large, the war drums and singing sound are removed, and the momentum is much smaller than that of ten thousand soldiers.

"The drums of war are singing." Li Ru stood for a while, then sat down again and said.

"It's just a bluff, General, you can hold your troops and then order the scouts to investigate."

"Don't move?" Lu Bu was stunned, according to what he saw, since this army was the first army of the princes, it should be cleared, otherwise it would be troublesome for them to find out the situation in the mountains and forests.

After destroying this first army, even if the princes knew that there was an ambush in the mountains and forests, they had to come if they wanted to continue to pursue, if they did not pursue. Aren't they here to make an example of the monkeys? It also saves them from fighting with their troops.

Secondly, Lu Bu looked at the white cloth wrapped around his shoulder, his eyes were complicated, he was caught off guard last time, and he was tired after several battles, and when the army retreated, he was shot by that person.

This time he's going to give it back.

Also, I didn't ask the person's name last time, so I stopped by this time. Knowing the danger and daring to go alone, this person deserves his name.

Moved his shoulder, and there was a tingling pain in his shoulder, which made Lu Bu frown, this injury was really in the way.

"If the general wants to fight with that general again, he should wait for a while, and this time the princes' army may also be divided into light and dark."

Li Ru sat at the table, looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.

"This army should only be a Ming army, pretending to be a momentum to attract us to chase and intercept, and the main army should not be there. I think that the princes are weak, and they want to bypass Xingyang and are afraid of an ambush, so they do this. ”

Lu Bu turned his head and saw the smile on Li Ru's face, with a little disgust on his face, he didn't like these people who were fiddling with calculations.

But disgust didn't mean he didn't understand, and said after a moment's silence.

"You mean, they deliberately attract attention in the light, so that the remnants of the army in the shadows can bypass this Xingyang?"

Lu Bu moved his internal breath to his shoulder, and there was a burst of soreness and numbness in his shoulder, and the pain was relieved a lot.

"But in this case, if we wait to intercept it, won't these nearly 10,000 troops have to come and go?"

"Yes, but this army should not have nearly 10,000 troops, and the general can still remember the formation that this general used with General Huaxiong, and this is the formation. The number of soldiers and horses in this army is only a few thousand. ”

Li Ru smiled slightly, and then there was a look of admiration on his face.

"This female general is really courageous, and in order to seek the overall situation, she counts herself as one of them. How many men in the world can compare with such courage? ”

He thought for a while, looked at Lu Bu and asked, "General, have you seen this person, this person is really a woman?" ”

He had never seen a woman like this.

Lu Bu was stunned by Li Ru's question, recalled the situation in the man's military formation, and did not reply for a while.

After a while, he said.

"It's a woman, but there's no distinction between men and women."

Li Ru saw Lu Bu's expression in his eyes, smiled, and looked out of the tent in his eyes: "It seems that he is really a peerless person." ”

Lu Bu didn't talk to Li Ru about this matter again, but said to the scout who was kneeling in the hall.

"Order someone to go to the mountains and forests again to find out if there are any other military formations marching, and if there is a quick report."

"Yes." The scout stepped back.

······

There are dense figures between the mountains and forests, because of the shade of the woods, you can't see anything clearly and don't know the number, and you can only vaguely see one figure after another walking by.

Cao Cao did not march in a military formation, but lined up to cross the path between the mountains and forests.

The military formation is inconvenient to move between the mountains and forests, and it is easy to detect if it is too loud. The horses walked restlessly on the path between the trees, and the soldiers who walked one after another made the bushes in the woods sway.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves passed through the woods, but it was soon drowned out by the sound of small footsteps in the distance, and no one heard the strange sound in the distance.

A scout stood in the woods and watched the army on the path in the distance, pulled the reins and mounted his horse and left.

The scout sent a simple map to Lu Bu's hand, and Lu Bu glanced at it a few times and handed the sketch to Li Ru.

"As you expected, there are still remnants."

Li Ru took the sketch, and there was still an army in the middle of Xingyang.

"Do you know how many people there are?"

The scout shook his head: "The mountains and forests are dense, this army has no formation, and it is in a column and marches straight, and the number of people cannot be seen clearly. However, people followed one after another, and there were quite a few people who came. ”

Li Ru still seemed to have some doubts in his eyes, but finally pressed it.

The road on the side of Xingyang is not long, and if you hesitate for a while, you may miss the military plane, and I am afraid that it will be delayed if you explore it again.

Putting the map down, Li Ru raised his head.

"General, you can go to the army."

······

Cao Cao walked in front of the military formation, holding the road in Xingyang painted by the horseman in his hand.

If there are no variables, you can walk through this mountain forest in two hours, and you will be with various roads after Xingyang.

At this time, the forest was quiet, and there was no sound except for the footsteps behind him.

The black horse under him shook his neck for some reason, took a few steps back, and almost let Cao Cao fall off the horse.

He put away the map, patted his horse's mane, and continued to urge the horse to walk towards the road.

A little further on, there is a mountain pass, after which the mountains and forests along the road will be much more sparse, and it will be difficult to march in concealment when you reach that place.

Cao Cao turned sideways and said to Cao Hong: "Order to go down, be careful in front of the valley and behind the valley mouth." ”

"Yes." Cao Hong didn't have the big grin he did on weekdays during the war, so he hugged his fists and went down to give orders.

The mountain pass was getting closer and closer, Cao Cao frowned, the disparity in strength between the two armies was huge, as long as there was a mistake, it would be the annihilation of the whole army.

An army stood on the high ground on both sides beyond the pass, and it was impossible to see anything from a distance, except that there seemed to be something among the trees on the mountain.

When you walked in, you could see countless armor lying in it, all of them looking ready for battle. At a cursory glance, there are probably no less than tens of thousands of people, almost all over the side of the mountain.

But there was no sound among the people, only the shallow breathing of people, and the sound of grass and branches being trampled under their feet.

The soldiers in armor all looked at the mountain pass below the high ground, and an army slowly walked out.

Li Ru stood beside Lu Bu and looked down along the woods.

But when the army formation all came out of the mountain pass, the armies on the sides of the two mountains were stunned, Li Ru's eyes widened slightly, and his hands were clenched.

On the trail path, the total number of the army was only about 2,000 men.

In the middle of the plan, abandon the car to protect the handsome.
