Zhou Cang led the troops to retreat to Wuli Road, only to see that Xing Daorong had already led the troops to build the deer firewood, a long piece of deer firewood, cut off the road, and ambushed the Jingzhou soldiers behind the deer firewood, all of them bent their bows and arrows, and were waiting for the Cao soldiers to come and shoot.

Because Zhou Cang and they were in too much of a hurry, these Jingzhou soldiers were too focused, and they mistakenly thought that Cao Bing was coming, and a few arrows were shot out, but fortunately, they didn't shoot their own people.

Two arrows flew past Zhou Cang's ears, which surprised Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang first got angry when he saw it, and then thought that this was caused by his own people being too focused on missing hands, so he smiled and said: "Xing Daorong, you kid treats us as Cao Bing, right?" Grass! If this arrow kills my Lao Zhou, it will be a wrongful death! ”

Zhou Cang said that, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers who withdrew behind: "Hurry up!" Bypass Luchai, go to the back, and set up an ambush at the five-mile road. Or cut down trees, pile up deer firewood, and block Cao's soldiers. Damn, that's a good idea. Xiahou Yuan had to take this road, so I would easily clean him up. Well, it's a good way, Lao Xing. ”

Zhou Cang said that he had already crawled over Lu Chai here, came to take Xing Daorong to his side, patted Xing Daorong's shoulder and said, "Let's do it like this." You intercept here for a while, see if you are tired, and then retreat; Five miles behind me, I cut down trees and trees to build wood for deer. In this way, they retreated alternately, blocking Cao's soldiers step by step. That's a great way to do it. Hehe. ”

Xing Daorong was a little worried, and said, "Old Zhou, there are two difficulties that can't be solved later. You have to pay attention. ”

"Uh-huh. What is the difficulty? ”

"First, Cao Bing's offensive is too fierce, just like the ants crossing the river, crushing batch after batch, and they can't be killed. If this continues, the officers and men of our army are too tired, and I am afraid that they will not be able to support it. ”

"Grass! It's killing hot, what's there to support? The two armies retreated alternately, both having a chance to breathe. It's time to drink water, it's time to eat. ”

"Listen to me, Old Zhou.

The second difficulty is that our army's arrows are consumed too much, and it won't take a few more rounds, and the arrows are gone. How do you say? In close combat, our army could not kill Cao Bing. ”

"Yes,! That's a problem. Zhou Cang muttered: "I'm killing the one who is on the rise, and I haven't paid attention to this problem yet." When we retreated to the top of the Magpie Tail Slope, we only packed up 20,000 arrowheads, twenty each. Yes. It doesn't take a few rounds. What can I do? ”

Zhou Cang groped for his beard at this time, groped for a while and said, "Hey——, old Xing." You just have to do it. I think the boy has a way.

At this time, I must have planned it later.

Maybe it won't take a few rounds, well, we don't have to wait for us to run out of arrows, and the lord will come over.

He had a way to clean up Cao Bing.

With him here in command, we don't have to worry. Just do it! We'll talk about that then.

If it really didn't work, he ran and took the soldiers through the woods.

Cao Bing's forwards were all cavalry, and they couldn't drill into the woods and couldn't catch up with us. ”

Xing Daorong agreed.

At this time, Cao Bing's horse's hooves sounded like a drum, and Zhou Cang scolded: "Grass! Here comes the death again. Lao Xing, let's do it. You stop it here, and I'll go behind and build firewood. ”

Xing Daorong stared at Cao Bing's way with both eyes, and didn't even look back: "Well, you can go." Here I am. ”

After Zhou Cang arranged the soldiers and horses five miles behind, it happened that Xing Daorong had withdrawn, and Zhou Cang ordered: "Lao Xing, just retreat, don't build deer and firewood, Cao Bing can't catch up with us." I could hold him back for hours. ”

Xing Daorong agreed, and fled in the direction of Xinye with the remnants of the defeated army.

Escaped more than ten miles of road, in front of a river loop, several miles wide, when Xing Daorong looked at it, he saw Liu Cong with a team of Jingzhou soldiers, immediately standing there.

Liu Cong was fluttering a flag behind him, and he immediately crossed the sword, majestic, like a god in the sky.

It turned out that Liu Cong received a reply from Lai Fatzi at Lin Zhen'er's house, so he said goodbye to Lin Zhen'er's father and daughter, came here, and waited for Zhou Cang's punishment of Daorong.

When Xing Daorong saw it, he hurriedly came over to pay a visit, and Liu Cong ordered: "Xing Daorong and others lead the troops to retreat to Xinye, walk slowly, don't be tired." I have already arranged it, Xiahou Yuan can only come here, don't think about taking a step forward. ”

When Xing Daorong was about to leave, Zhou Cang also withdrew with the remnants of the defeated army, saw Liu Cong, and came to pay a visit.

Liu Cong smiled and said: "You two have worked hard, I just ordered Xing Daorong to retreat to Xinye, you can go together." ”

Zhou Cang said in a panic: "Lord, Xiahou Yuan's brigade is here. You only have this team of soldiers and horses, how can you resist it? ”

Liu Cong smiled: "I have my own arrangements. Just go. ”

It turned out that Lai Fatzi sent a letter to Xinye Huang Zhong, and after Huang Zhong saw the letter, he hurriedly transferred Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, each with 4,000 elite soldiers, and came here to obey Liu Cong's orders.

When Liu Cong saw this, he ordered two groups of men and horses to lie in ambush on both sides, and he led five hundred men and horses to wait for Xiahou Yuan's Cao soldiers here.

Hearing Zhou Cang say that Xiahou Yuan's brigade had already come, Liu Cong ordered the soldiers and horses behind him to set up a formation, and Xiahou Yuan came over.

At this time, Xiahou Hui, the vanguard of Cao's soldiers, led three or four hundred cavalry to chase and kill, and when he came to the open area, he saw Liu Cong leading the riding of a white horse and a horizontal steel knife, and the flag behind him was fluttering, so he was taken aback and did not dare to fight.

When Xiahou Hui was hesitating, Xiahou Yuan led the troops over, and Xiahou Hui hurriedly came over to report.

Xiahou Yuan restrained the soldiers and horses while riding his horse to look forward.

Seeing that Liu Cong only led a few hundred men and horses to line up, he didn't dare to act rashly.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan's men and horses had already formed a formation, so Xiahou Yuan thought about it, hit his horse forward, and shouted to Liu Cong: "Liu Cong's child, get off the horse early and die!" ”

Liu Cong over there listened, laughed, and replied: "I'll tell you the truth, Xiahou Yuan, your death time has come." But your fate is in my hands, and I don't want you to die. Leave you with a future use. If you are interested, you will run away with your troops, and I will never harm you. If you don't know how to do it and still want to fight, you can let the horse come. ”

In fact, at this time, Xiahou Yuan had been hesitating in his heart, and it was really difficult to decide whether to advance or retreat for a while.

However, the situation has developed to this point, Xiahou Yuan does not want to retreat no matter what, he secretly made up his mind: "Liu Cong only has a few hundred people here, and it is estimated that he will not have time to mobilize people and horses to set up an ambush.

I just waved my troops and killed them, and if an ambush came out, I would immediately retreat.

Here is dozens of miles away from Queweipo, there is Cao Ba leading 5,000 new troops, if the Jingzhou soldiers chase, I will fight and retreat, retreat to Queweipo, turn back and fight again, enough to defeat Liu Cong. After getting it, Liu Congsheng was captured alive. ”

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan turned around and instructed the scouts: "Go back immediately, go to Queweipo, pass on my order, let him line up in formation, and prepare to fight with the Jingzhou soldiers." ”

Watching the scouts beat the horses and leave, Xiahou Yuan turned around, signaled to the deputy general left and right, and ordered in a low voice: "All the men and horses, rush over and fight together." It is best to capture Liu Cong alive. If there are ambush soldiers coming out, they will immediately fight and retreat, slowly block the pursuit of Jingzhou soldiers, retreat to Quewei Slope, and then turn back to the decisive battle. ”

The generals listened to the order, shouted in unison, and led the troops to fight. 092
