When Yuan Jun arrived at Wu County in Chen County, it was already dark.

As before, the military and civilians in Wuxian County were all like facing a great enemy, and most of the villages, towns, and markets along the way were hiding in the county seat of Wuxian County, except for a few elderly people.

The city gate of the county seat of Wuxian County is also closed.

Cao Jun, who was patrolling at the head of the city, looked at Yuan Jun marching on the official road from a distance with vigilant eyes.

Yuan Wei looked up at the county seat of Wu County, and then called Tai Shici to the front and said, "Ziyi, the next thing is that the army will turn south and secretly return to Zhuyi, and the task of luring the enemy will be handed over to your Xiaocai battalion." ”

% Tai Shi Ci bowed his hand and said: "Son, rest assured, the Xiaoqi camp will definitely not be dishonored." ”

"Well, I'm relieved about the Xiao Riding Camp." Yuan Fu nodded, but still advised, "But Ziyi still needs to remember that it is not suitable to march during the day, and you need to carry more torches when marching at night." ”

Tai Shi Ci said again: "The last general has written it down." ”

Yuan Wei said: "Then, you and I will be separated here." ”

Tai Shi Ci turned around and led the cavalry battalion to march.

Tai Shi Ci led more than 300 horsemen and two torches, lengthened the marching distance, and continued to march to Xuchang with great fanfare, Yuan Otherwise, he led more than 2,000 foot soldiers to extinguish the torches, and quietly went south by the exclusion of the night, fortunately, most of the territory of Chen County is plain, and the road is flat and easy to walk, otherwise, it is unthinkable to march in the dark.

The next day, when Yuan Fu arrived at an old forest in Ningping County, the eastern sky had already slightly revealed a trace of fish belly white, Yuan Fu immediately ordered the whole army to enter the dense forest to lurk, and sent Gan Ning's battalion Qiao to roam around the dense forest in the form of hunters. Once a woodcutter or hunter is found, he will be captured on the spot and then held in a centralized manner.

Yuan No's move really concealed Cao Jun from the counties along the way.

Thereafter. In the emergency documents sent to Xuchang and Peijun in the counties along the way, the Cao army always only said that Yuan No's army was continuing to approach Xuchang along the official road, but did not find that only a few Yuan cavalry were approaching Xuchang, but the main force of Yuan No's infantry army had already turned south in Wuxian and returned to Peijun.

At this time, Cao Ren and Cao Cao, who returned to Xuchang, were in a hurry.

In order to ensure that Xuchang is not lost, in order to ensure that the Son of Heaven is not robbed. Cao Ren and Cao Cao were all ruthless, and they all desperately urged the soldiers under their command to rush back, which was really day and night. I can't even bother to catch my breath.

Two days and nights later, when Cao Ren led 5,000 elite soldiers to chase to Changping, less than 100 miles away from Xuchang, news came back from the front. Yuan Jun was discovered!

Did you finally catch up?

Hearing this, he finally caught up with Yuan Jun. Cao Ren couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's okay, as long as you catch up with Yuan Jun, then there will be no problem!

However, Cao Ren had just rejoiced that he had not yet had a cup of tea, but the sound of killing suddenly sounded in the wheat field in front of him, and it was the sentry that had been scattered out and encountered Yuan Jun.

It's just that the sound of killing stopped abruptly after a few sounds.

And so it is. Cao Ren saw more than a dozen war horses running out of the wheat field in front of him, but the cavalry who was supposed to be riding on horseback was nowhere to be found.

Apparently. Cao's sentry cavalry was hunted by Yuan's sentry cavalry.

Recently, such a situation has been staged, along the area on both sides of the official road, Yuan Jun's sentry cavalry can be said to be ubiquitous, and their mission is to hunt Cao Jun's sentry horse.

From Laixiang to Changping, more than 300 miles of road, the sentinels of Yuan and Cao broke out at least hundreds of fierce battles, large and small, although each had casualties, but on the whole Yuan army had the upper hand.

Cao Ren thought it was just another sentry encounter, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

At a certain moment, Cao Ren seemed to hear a faint roar, the sound seemed to come from the distant sky, so it was not very real, Cao Ren thought it was an illusion at first, but soon he realized that this was not an illusion, and immediately turned over and dismounted and lay on the ground sideways, and listened attentively.

Hearing this, the faint roar immediately became clear.

Except for the faint roar, Cao Ren clearly felt that the ground under his feet was trembling slightly, cavalry, this is the situation that only happens when the cavalry of the brigade launches a charge.

"Cavalry, the cavalry of the Yuan army!" Cao Ren turned over and jumped up, and shouted loudly, "Formation, circular defensive formation, hurry up and form formation, formation, circular defensive formation......"

Cao Ren gave an order, and Cao's army quickly began to form a formation.

Although they are so tired that they are already like dogs, as if they can fall asleep while standing, Cao Jun is Cao Jun after all, and the reason why Cao Jun was able to break through the current famous reputation is definitely not a fluke, in less than a meal, five thousand elite soldiers have formed a dense and rigorous circular formation, all the sword and shield soldiers are blocked outside, followed by spearmen, and then archers.

Cao's army had just formed a formation, and there was already a black-pressed cavalry frenzy on the horizon ahead.

Cavalry is cavalry after all, and there are less than 400 cavalry left in the cavalry battalion, but when they open a horizontal formation on the flat wilderness to charge the Cao army, the overwhelming momentum is still enough to make the new recruits who have just entered the battlefield tremble, but the Cao army is not a recruit, so they can all maintain their composure.

(Dividing Line)

Tai Shi Ci rode a strong crossbow and galloped to the front of the entire cavalry ranks.

The task of luring the enemy has been completed, and now it is the turn of the cavalry battalion to move in.

In the first battle of Ruyin, the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army has been disabled by the Xiao cavalry battalion, and now, the Cao army no longer dares to send a large team of cavalry to fight a decisive battle with the Xiao cavalry battalion, so the Xiao cavalry battalion wants to turn in, it can be said that it can come and go freely, Tai Shi Ci can take the Xiao cavalry battalion to avoid the Cao army and turn around.

But Tai Shi Ci did not do this.

Tai Shi Ci still wanted to bite Cao Jun hard before turning in.

It's just that when the two armies faced each other, Tai Shici found that his plan had failed.

The Cao army in front is well-equipped and well-trained, and the reaction is also extremely fast, in such a short time, it has actually formed a rigorous circular defensive array, if the cavalry battalion forcibly attacks, I am afraid that it will not be pleased.

There were still about five hundred steps away from the Cao Army's great array, and Tai Shici suddenly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

The soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion who followed up behind him immediately changed their formation, and quickly contracted from the previous horizontal formation, like a trickle converging into a big river, quickly converging into a four-way column, and then drew a big circle, cutting through the right side of the Cao army's large array, and in less than a moment, Yuan Jun's Xiao cavalry rumbled away.

(Dividing Line)

The brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.

The 5,000 elite soldiers of the Cao Army who were waiting for the battle also looked at each other, where the hell is this singing?

Yuan Junxiao has been riding for a while, and the dust in the air has gradually dissipated, and the crisis seems to have been lifted, but layers of doubts have risen in the hearts of Cao Jun's soldiers.

"Brother, what's going on?" Cao Chun asked Cao Ren.

Cao Ren is also confused, if Guo Jia is here, he can also ask Guo Jia, with Guo Jia's wisdom and eyesight, most of them will see what Yuan Jun is doing, but unfortunately, Guo Jia's body is too weak, he can't stand such a long-distance forced march, and he will be tired when he walks to Qian County.

Cao Ren was afraid that Guo Jia would be tired, so he asked Guo Jia to stay in Qian County to recuperate.

Seeing that Cao Ren was silent for a long time, Cao Chun asked again: "Brother, why did Yuan divide the troops?" ”

Cao Ren subconsciously shook his head, Yuan Nuo'er is cunning and wise, how does he know what Yuan Nuo's idea is?

Cao Chun then continued: "Brother, shouldn't Yuan have found out that we have returned to Xuchang and knew that the general trend has gone, so he abandoned his infantry and fled with the cavalry, right?" ”

Cao Ren said: "Maybe that's really the case. ”

Cao Chun said: "Why don't you lead the tiger and leopard to catch up and take a look?" ”

Cao Cao had 3,000 tigers and leopards to ride, 2,000 horses followed Cao Zhen and had been destroyed in Ruyin, the remaining 1,000 tigers and leopards to ride, 500 horses to follow Cao Xiu by Cao Cao's side, and the other 500 horses were followed by Cao Ren under the commander of Cao Chun.

"No, Zi and you forgot how Cao really failed?" Cao Chun's suggestion was flatly rejected by Cao Ren.

What are you kidding, Cao Zhen led two thousand tigers and leopards to ride to make Tai Shi Ci a fall, although Cao Chun was brave, but he was limited in strength with Cao Zhen, and Cao Chun only had five hundred horses, he was definitely not Tai Shi Ci's opponent, Cao Ren was not a fool, so he would not ride Cao Chun's five hundred tigers and leopards into Tai Shi Ci's tiger's mouth.

"What then?" Cao Chun said again, "Let Yuan Junxiao's cavalry camp slip away? In case Yuan Que is also in the Xiao Cavalry Camp, wouldn't it be a let Yuan Que go? ”

"Yuan no, Yuan no, you know Yuan no." Cao Ren snorted and said angrily, "The top priority now is to ensure the safety of Xuchang and the Son of Heaven, but nothing else can be taken care of, don't forget that the Yuan army still has more than 2,000 infantry troops, if you let more than 2,000 Yuan troops drive outside Xuchang City, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Cao Chun suddenly said: "Brother taught me a lesson. ”

Cao Ren said again: "Pass the order, the whole army will continue to move forward and return to Xuchang!" ”

As soon as Cao Ren gave the order, the five thousand elite soldiers lifted the formation and continued to advance rapidly.

However, what happened next made Cao Ren completely stunned, completely confused.

Rushing forward for about twenty miles, the army came to Chenting County, but the defenders of Chenting County told Cao Ren a piece of news that he couldn't believe, and the Chenting defenders said that no Yuan army had passed through Chenting!

After listening to the report of the defenders of Chenting, Cao Ren also said that the Yuan army had changed its route halfway, so he hurriedly sent the sentinels to the nearby counties to inquire about the news, but in the evening, the sentinels sent out came back one after another, but the news brought back was that no troops had crossed the border from the counties in the past few days.

Cao Ren was stupid at once.

Nimei, can't you?

Yuan No's 2,000 armor soldiers disappeared out of thin air like this?
