Seeing that most of his cavalry had been killed and wounded, and the retreat route was blocked by the enemy, Niu Jin could no longer count on Pang De to save him from breaking through this time, so he could only shout bitterly: "General Zhengnan, you hurry up and bring someone over to answer it!" ”

The summons was responded to again, and Cao Ren led his men to kill from behind: "Don't panic, I, Cao Ren, are here!" ”

The Jingzhou sergeant, who was blocking Pang De in the middle of the road, saw that there was an enemy behind him to reinforce him, and hurriedly retreated to the mountains on both sides, leaving only the crossbowmen to continue to greet Cao's army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Ren didn't dare to fight, and after rescuing Pang De and Niu Jin, he hurriedly led everyone to retreat urgently, and asked again and again what was going on.

Pound couldn't explain, so he followed Niu Jin silently. Niu Jin hurriedly said: "We fell for Guan Yu and fell into their ambush!" ”

"What? Caught in Guan Yu's ambush? Hasn't Guan Yu already been shot to death? Cao Ren glanced back at Pound as he urged the horse forward.

Niu Jin had a bitter face: "General, that's all a lie, we saw Guan Yu with our own eyes just now, and they are living well." We've all fallen for him! ”

Cao Ren immediately turned his head and glared at Pound. Pound kept his head down and kept his mouth shut, except for the sound of rapid breathing in his nostrils.

Niu Jin didn't mean to gloat, but only urged Cao Ren to say: "General, hurry up and retreat, the farther you retreat, the better." ”

"Why are you so flustered, isn't this already out of the enemy's encirclement?" Cao Ren asked casually.

Niu Jin shook his head: "I don't know, I just think that this Guan Yu deliberately took the opportunity to fake his death and lure us to chase two hundred miles in a row, and he definitely wouldn't just set up such a small ambush here." ”

Cao Ren seemed to understand something: "No wonder I've been feeling a little weird these days, but now it seems that it's because the enemy army is retreating a little abnormally." Alas, it's all my fault for being careless, why didn't I think it through in the first place. ”

"General!" Niu Jin wanted to ask.

Cao Ren didn't explain, but said to Niu Jin: "You're right, we have to withdraw quickly, and the farther we retreat, the better!" I'm worried now that there will be an enemy ambush not far ahead. ”

As expected, the Cao army retreated for more than ten miles in a row, until it retreated to the place where Pang De seemed to have caught up with the enemy's rear army yesterday, and when he was still reminiscing about yesterday's battle scene, many Jingzhou sergeants appeared on both sides of the road, shouting loudly to outflank them, and at this time, Guan Ping's department, which had stopped pursuing, appeared behind them again.

Pang De was still in doubt, but Niu Jin had already figured it out: "It turns out that yesterday they fled into the mountains and forests on both sides here, but they deliberately pretended to show us, in fact, they were in ambush here, just waiting for us to retreat and then come to intercept and kill us." ”

"Don't sigh here, hurry up and take everyone away!" Cao Ren urged.

"Drive!" Pound slammed his horsewhip and overtook the front, "I'll go ahead and open the way!" ”

After a desperate battle, he finally broke out of the enemy's encirclement, Cao Ren raised his eyes and looked at his men and horses while fleeing, it turned out that there were more than 7,000 people, at this time, it is estimated that more than half of them have been lost.

Looking at the remaining remnants, they were also sweating profusely, panting quickly with their mouths open, just afraid that they would not be able to catch the next breath, and some even fell directly to the ground, allowing others to whip and urge, and they were no longer able to get up.

Cao Renbei came from the heart: "The enemy not only set up an ambush to attack us, but also deliberately lured us to chase after us these days, the foot soldiers have long been tired, and now where do we still have the strength to fight the enemy." ”

Niu Jin gasped: "General, general, rest in place for a while, and then, still, hurry up." Hurry up and join our back. These days, we're running too fast in front, and the lines are too far away from each other. Only by gathering the team quickly can you fend off their attacks. ”

As soon as everyone sat on the ground to rest, there was a shout of killing from the chasing soldiers in Jingzhou. Niu Jin hurriedly got up and got on his horse: "Didn't these guys who have been wronged stop the pursuit just now, why did they catch up so quickly?" ”

Looking at the soldiers who were tired and paralyzed on the ground, with desperate expressions on their faces, Cao Ren suddenly turned on his horse and shouted at Pound: "These guys, they really don't want us to live?" Right now, we are not surrounded by enemies. General Pang, follow me to kill back and give them a counterattack! General Niu, you are here to quickly get the sergeants to get up and organize the defense! ”

Cao Ren and Pang De, full of anger, organized the remaining cavalry and rushed forward to meet the pursuing enemy.

Guan Ping led his army to engage them for a short time, as if he was really afraid of them, and quickly retreated.

Cao Ren and Pang De returned to the army, took a long breath, and finally could rest for a while, and looked ahead again: "Our follow-up people, when will they be able to catch up and respond." ”

After waiting for the sergeants to rest for a while, Cao Ren hurriedly urged them on the road, and at this moment, an army rushed over quickly, judging from the banner, it was the follow-up of Cao Jun.

Niu Jin hurriedly shouted happily: "It's okay now, our people are coming up." Look, General! ”

Cao Jun, who rushed over, was also full of exhaustion, and when he saw Cao Ren and them covered in blood, most of the sergeants were injured, and his face was immediately changed to a face full of horror: "General, who are you?" ”

Cao Ren replied simply: "There is an enemy ambush ahead, just come, hurry up and join forces and retreat backwards first." After saying that, he looked back again.

The two armies retreated together, Cao Ren finally calmed down a little, since they had already retreated, there were still a large number of their own men and horses coming behind him, and he no longer had to worry about the enemy's pursuit, seeing that it was getting late, he ordered to inspect the terrain and camp to rest.

At night, the tired sergeants all fell asleep, but Cao Ren couldn't close his eyes. After thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, even if this Guan Yu wanted to attack them in an ambush, there was no need to retreat two hundred miles in a row, would there be anything that he had missed?

As if to echo his feelings, in the second half of the night, a fast horse came overnight to report: "General, it's not good!" We have been ambushed by the enemy and suffered heavy losses, so please retreat quickly and return to help! ”

Although he had a premonition, Cao Ren couldn't help but jump up: "What? There is still an ambush in the rear? ”

The visitor gasped and replied, "General, we were camping and resting more than ten miles away from here, and suddenly we were attacked by countless enemy troops at night. Everyone was unprepared, and was touched into the camp by the enemy, and suffered heavy losses, and asked the general to hurry back to support. ”

"Why is there no defense?" Cao Ren still couldn't accept this fact. (To be continued.) )
