623. The pursuers are coming
"Well, but, Chen Junshi, how can the three of us trust Junshi? If the military advisor leaves this place and tells Yuan Shu that we want to surrender in front of the battle, then the three of us will not die without a place to be buried! ”
Cheng Lian suddenly said coldly on the side, but the situation fell into death again, they really didn't dare to trust Chen Deng, this was related to their lives.
Chen Dengxin said, as far as you are troublesome, alas, how can I fool the past, I can't tell my identity, but even if I say it, these three people will believe it, and obviously they won't believe it.
What's more, when it comes to the issue of Lu Bu's death, I must not easily expose the truth.
Therefore, Chen Deng could only frown and groan for a while before he spoke, "In this way, is it okay to let Vice General Cao follow Deng's side for surveillance, if Deng has the intention of informing, Vice General Cao can kill Deng to extinguish his mouth!" It's just that Vice General Cao is willing to continue to lurk in Yuan Shu's army with me for the time being? ”
When Cheng Lian and Hao Meng heard this, they couldn't help but look at Cao Xing, who was a little stunned, and now it means that the two of them can get out safely, but Cao Xing needs to sacrifice for them.
Cao Xing was also stunned when he heard this, he also looked at Cheng Lian and Hao Meng, to be honest, his relationship with them was not good enough to give them his life, if the two of them surrendered in front of the battle with their troops, then if he and Chen Deng were blamed by Yuan Shu, he would probably become a scapegoat.
Besides, he also wanted to break away from Yuan Shu directly, but soon he thought of Lu Bu's enmity in his heart, so he made up his mind again, "Okay, since that's the case, I agreed!" If you want to come to Chen Junshi, you don't want to lose your life! A certain family can also help the military division to command those soldiers and horses! ”
"Cao Xing, this matter, alas, is owed by the two of us! Repay yourself in the future! ”
Hao Meng is Cao Xing's main general, and he has some friendship with Cao Xuan after all, but he didn't expect Cao Xing to really agree to such a thing, and he couldn't help but be a little moved when he looked at Cao Xing's expression.
"Yes, Cao Xing, the two of us owe you a favor for this matter!"
Cheng Lian saw that Cao Xing agreed, but he was also relieved, and then said politely.
"The two generals don't need to be like this, we are all old people who have followed the lord for many years, this time the lord was accidentally choked, we should help each other and save each other, and we may also be able to seek revenge for the lord in the future!"
Cao Xuan only responded lightly, but he still hoped that the two of them could also think of avenging Lu Bu, so he finally said his heart.
Cao Xing's words made Chen Deng on the side frown when he heard it, Chen Deng didn't expect Cao Xuan to have such thoughts, if Cao Xuan knew the truth in the future, wouldn't he seek revenge on himself.
His eyes couldn't help but flash a little bit of brilliance, and he watched Cao Xing's expression change slightly.
As for Hao Meng and Cheng Lian when they heard this, they only nodded to Cao Xing, but they did not make a clear statement, at this time, they actually didn't have much intention of avenging Lu Bu, just so that they could live.
At that moment, the matter was settled, so Chen Deng and Cao Xing went to order nearly 20,000 new pawns and young men, and got up again to rush to Quyang County, as for Hao Meng and Cheng Lian, they began to find their henchmen to discuss things, and find a way to gather the remaining five or six thousand elites of Lu Bu.
After this small episode, about half an hour later, Yuan Shu's army passed through the place where the rest of Lu Bu's troops and horses were stationed, and only Nale led nearly 10,000 troops to break behind Yuan Shu's army.
It's just that although Yuan Shu asked Le to urge Lu Bu's remaining troops to break off, Ke Le didn't press the soldiers and horses on Lu Bu's side too much, so he also found a place to stop about a mile away from where Lu Bu's army was stationed, and put on a defensive position.
At this time, it was basically 11 or 2 o'clock in the evening, and it was completely dark.
In fact, the more than 10,000 troops of Yuan Shu led by Le also wanted to stop and rest, and they also thought about whether the pursuers on Zhu Wei's side would stop the pursuit because it was dark, so that they seemed to be cut off, but in fact, they could be comfortable for a while.
In fact, Zhu Wei and Cao Cao's pursuers don't seem to be pressing on each other now, so they can still take a break for a while.
It's just that their idea is obviously wrong, and after resting for less than two quarters of an hour or so, the army led by Le Wei suddenly felt a slight vibration on the ground, and then the sound of horses' hooves of "da-da, da-da" came to this side.
"The pursuers are coming, the pursuers are coming, it's Zhu Wei's cavalry!"
For a while, there was an exclamation in the Yuan army, obviously he had seen the light cavalry on Zhu Wei's side during the day, and at this moment, when he thought of those light cavalry who were powerful in cavalry and shooting, he couldn't help but exclaim in his mouth.
"Array! Array! ”
Le hurriedly called his soldiers to line up, and then sent people to the resting place of Lu Bu's soldiers, urging Lu Bu's army to also prepare to meet the attack of Zhu Wei's light cavalry.
The Lu Bu soldiers led by Cheng Lian and Hao Meng naturally entered a state of alert from rest at this time.
Although Cheng Lian and Hao Meng planned to surrender before the battle, at least there must be a chance to surrender, if Zhu Wei's cavalry rushed over directly, it would be too late for them to shout surrender.
Soon, I saw a group of cavalry teams holding torches and walking quickly in the distance, obviously the cavalry over there also saw the bonfires and torches lit by Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's armies at night, so they stopped about a mile away from here, and the torches also slowly gathered over there, as if a sea of fire was formed over there.
"Didi......"
With a metal whistle, half of the cavalry handed over the torches to their companions, and then took their bows and feathered arrows from the bowbox hanging from the saddle on the side, put on the bowstring in vain, and entered the state of engagement.
In fact, the light cavalry was not very suitable for battle at night, and it was difficult for their bows and arrows to find their targets in the dark night, and if there was no torch lighting, they could not quickly travel at night, so it was difficult to exert the power of Mangu's cavalry tactics.
It's just that now in order to force Yuan Shu's army to rush to Quyang County overnight, so that Yuan Shu's army is in a tired state, facing the ambush on Quyang County's side, Zhu Wei let Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan chase after him with cavalry.
Of course, it was also because of the fast speed of the light cavalry, so the cavalry led by Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan was able to surpass Cao Cao's army and chase to the rear of Yuan Shu's army, but Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan didn't have much intention of really fighting, so they just wanted to intimidate.
So under the command of Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan, the cavalry slowly slowed down, and approached in the direction of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's army, ready to shoot a few arrows at the other side after entering the range of feather arrows.
Fortunately, at this moment, the army of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu is also bright, which can allow the cavalry shooters to see the target clearly, in fact, even if they can't see anyone, they only need to throw the feather arrows to the place where the fire is......
