As soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Yun got up.

The six dragoons had not returned all night, and he already knew that they could not return.

Before he walked out of the tent, a personal soldier stepped forward and bowed down to him and said: "General Qiyu, the two Jiangdong armies have been spying on our army all night, and without the general's order, the brothers dare not be arbitrary!" ”

"Let them go!" Glancing in the direction of the Jiangdong Army, Zhao Yun said to the pro-soldier: "Pass the order, and our army will be pulled out immediately!" ”

"No!" In response, the soldier went to convey the order to the whole army.

Just as he was about to ask someone to bring a war horse for him, Zhao Yun saw Tao Hu walking briskly towards him.

"What's wrong?" Tao Hu walked in a hurry, and when he arrived, Zhao Yun asked him suspiciously.

Clenched his fists and arched towards Zhao Yun, Tao Hu said to him: "General, I heard that there are two Jiangdong armies who are spying on our army all night, do you want the last general to go and capture them?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Tao Hu wanted to capture the two Jiangdong Army, Zhao Yun waved his hand at him and said: "Let them go, the officers and men of our army are all cavalry, once they are withdrawn, even if the Jiangdong Army pursues them with all their might, they will not be able to track them down." A certain asked them to return to the barracks and inform Ling Cao and his son that we had withdrawn our troops. The grain and grass were burned, and Ling Cao had only two choices, one was to lead the army to withdraw to Jianye, which was far away from Jianye, and they could not support the grain and grass all the way. In this way, all he can do is to follow our army to the Zhou Gongjin military camp and seek a decisive battle as much as possible! ”

After listening to Zhao Yun's analysis, Tao Hu clenched his fists and said: "The general is really a civil and military all-rounder, and such an esoteric method of war has been seen through by the general. ”

"Our army is about to leave, you should also prepare, it's time to go!" Glancing in the direction of Jiangdong Army again, Zhao Yun gave Tao Hu an order.

The Han army Yu Linwei was busy evacuating, and the two Jiangdong armies, who noticed that the situation was abnormal, immediately rode their horses to their military camp.

After thinking all night about how to deal with the burning of grain and grass, Ling Cao learned that the Han army was about to evacuate from two spies who were spying on the movements of the Han army, and hurriedly ordered the army to prepare and pursue the Han army.

Yu Linwei had been fighting for many years, and had received strict training, and had been ordered to retreat, so it didn't take long for the soldiers to mount their horses and follow Zhao Yun all the way to the direction of Zhou Yu's military camp.

Compared to them, the speed of the Jiangdong Army was much slower.

By the time the Jiangdong Army was fully prepared, the Han army Yu Linwei had already gone far.

As Zhao Yun said, most of the Jiangdong Army was infantry, and although the soldiers were speeding up, they were always some distance away from Yulinwei.

Following behind Yu Linwei, chasing him for more than ten miles, Ling Cao felt as if something was wrong, raised his arm, and stopped the march of the army.

The procession stopped, and Ling Tong rode up to him and asked him, "What's the matter, father?" ”

"Less than twenty miles further on, there is Zhou Yu's military camp!" Frowning slightly, Ling Cao said thoughtfully: "The enemy's combat strength is not bad, and he brought our army here, didn't he deliberately want to fight a decisive battle with our army in the front?" ”

"A decisive battle is a decisive battle, what are you afraid of him?" After all, Ling Tong was young and vigorous, although he also sensed that something was wrong, he was unconvinced and said: "Father, why don't you give the child some soldiers and horses, and wait for the child to explore the way!" ”

Ling Tong offered to lead his troops to explore the way, but Ling Cao did not immediately agree.

After all, it was father and son, and when he noticed that the Han army was moving differently, Ling Cao would certainly not let Ling Tong lead the troops alone.

Staring ahead, after a while, Ling Cao said to Ling Tong: "Pass the order, don't rush to pursue, our army will be stationed here to see how the enemy moves!" ”

"Father!" Ling Cao said that he wanted to be stationed, and Ling Tong hurriedly said: "Our army's grain and grass have been burned by the enemy, and now the rations of the soldiers, even if they are saved, can only last for a day or two. The only way to do this is to fight quickly and not let the soldiers go hungry! ”

What Ling Tong said was not unreasonable, Ling Cao thought about it before saying to him: "That is the case, my son can lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to explore the way, if he feels a little wrong, he will return immediately, and his father will answer it!" ”

"Father, don't worry!" Holding his fists and arching towards Ling Cao, Ling Tong lifted the reins and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Select 10,000 soldiers and horses, and go with this general to explore the road!" ”

Fighting with Yu Linwei, and being burned by six dragoon guards, the Jiangdong army had already been killed and had no courage.

Knowing that Ling Tong was going to explore the way, many Jiangdong troops only hoped that they would not be selected.

10,000 soldiers and horses is not a small number in the Jiangdong Army, although many soldiers are looking forward to not being selected, but after all, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses who want to go with Ling Tong to investigate the situation.

Leading 10,000 soldiers and horses, Ling Tong rode his horse and ran in the direction of the retreat of the Han army.

Ling Cao's father and son didn't notice that just as Ling led the troops to leave, there were some golden feathers in the grass on both sides that were trembling slightly with the swaying of the blades of grass.

Huang Sheng led nearly a hundred dragoon guards to lie dormant in the deep grass, staring at the Jiangdong army that was dividing into two groups with a pair of eyes.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Ling Tong chased after Zhao Yun, while Ling Cao led the remaining soldiers and horses, waiting for the news of his return.

Huang Sheng, who was dormant in the grass, did not order the dragoon guards to act immediately.

The six people sent out to burn the Jiangdong army's grain and grass, since they left the barracks, Huang Sheng knew that they would most likely not come back alive.

What more than a hundred dragoon guards had to do was to take advantage of Ling Tong's leading army to pursue Zhao Yun, secretly launch a surprise attack, and kill Ling Cao in one fell swoop.

Killing Ling Cao too early did not do much good to the battle, without the main general, although the morale of the Jiangdong Army would be shaken, with Ling Tong in the army, they would still be able to gather in one place, and even when the decisive battle was launched, they would have more fighting spirit because of Ling Cao's death.

Ling Cao led the army here, not far from Zhou Yu's military camp, killing Ling Cao at this time would only make the Jiangdong army confused, Ling Tong wanted to gather soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but it was impossible to have too much time.

The timing of killing Ling Cao is crucial to this battle!

Staring at the Jiangdong Army led by Ling Cao, Huang Sheng took down the strong crossbow from behind, set up an encounter on the strong crossbow, and lightly aimed at Ling Cao.

He was not very close to Ling Cao, and the wind in the wilderness was not small.

To shoot this arrow, you must calculate the effect of wind speed on the arrow, and there will be a great deviation in flying.

The feather arrow he took off was smeared with the venom of a poisonous snake, as long as it hit Ling Cao, unless Hua Tuo was present, he would definitely die!

It is impossible for Hua Tuo to be present, not to mention that Hua Tuo is already in Luoyang City, doing things for the royal family, even if he is present, he will not save a general of the enemy army.

Aiming at Ling Cao, one eye narrowed slightly.

He felt his hand tremble slightly, as if he had a crossbow that was uneven.

Ever since he became the lieutenant general of the Dragoons, he had never felt so strange.

Frowning, he placed his crossbow in the grass and clenched his fists tightly.

It's strange to say, after Huang Sheng clenched his fists, his hands really didn't tremble.

Picking up the crossbow again, he aimed at Ling Cao again.

After calculating the effect of wind speed on the feather arrow, Huang Sheng gently pulled off the reed of the strong crossbow in his hand.

The spring trembled slightly, and an arrow flew towards Ling Cao at high speed.

Seeing that the arrow was about to hit Ling Cao, Huang Sheng found that an officer of the Jiangdong Army didn't know why he was in front of Ling Cao.

Staring at the direction of Ling Tong's departure, Ling Cao always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Send someone to follow the little general, once you find that the enemy army has moved, come and present to a certain immediately!" ”

An officer standing beside him heard his shout, gently clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, stepped forward a little, and answered with a fist.

The officer stepped forward, just at the moment when Huang Sheng picked off the machine spring.

The feather arrow pierced the air and flew towards Ling Cao with a whistling eye, but as the officer stepped forward, it pierced the officer's back in the heart.

The back of the heart was shot by a feather arrow, the officer's body was stunned, and as soon as he received Ling Cao's order, he fell off the horse.

Seeing the officer fall off his horse, Ling Cao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted: "There are enemy troops nearby, be on alert!" ”

Before his shout fell, Huang Sheng, who knew that it was impossible to kill him from a distance, waved his hand, burst out of the deep grass, and shouted to the dragoon guards who were lying dormant here with him: "Up! Kill Ling Cao! ”

With Huang Sheng's order, nearly a hundred dragoon guards jumped up, holding a strong crossbow, and while rushing towards the Jiangdong Army, they picked off the machine spring of the strong crossbow!

Although the number of dragoons is small, they are specialized in assassination training after all, and almost every arrow they shoot can take the life of a Jiangdong army.

Surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers, Ling Cao was also a little panicked in his heart.

Before leading the army to the expedition, he thought that this battle would not be too difficult to fight, after all, the number of soldiers and horses under the command of the Han army and Zhou Yu was much smaller than the army led by him.

But after really engaging with the Han army, he realized that this time leading the army to go out may be a mistake in itself.

The Han army, which was less than 100 people, dared to attack tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army saw the dragoons rushing towards them, and the archers hurriedly took off their longbows and put their arrows on the bowstrings.

But they didn't have a chance to fire arrows, and when they raised their longbows, Huang Sheng had already led the dragoons to rush in front of them.

Holding a long sword, Huang Sheng jumped in front of the Jiangdong Army's formation, raised his foot and kicked towards a shield of the Jiangdong Army blocking him.

Kicking the shield, Huang Sheng sat on the ground with the Jiangdong soldier's kick, and the shield in his hand couldn't help but tilt to the side.

Before Jiang Dongbing could react, Huang Sheng had already stepped forward and stabbed his sword into the chest of the Jiangdong soldier.

The dragoons, who were less than a hundred people, crashed into the Jiangdong Army's array, and quickly tore a hole in their array.

Many of the Jiangdong troops who were holding shields in front were kicked and stabbed to the ground by the dragoon guards.

The Jiangdong Army, which had already been killed by the six dragoons, lost its courage, not to mention that nearly a hundred dragoons attacked together.

In just a moment, the Jiangdong Army, which was defending at the front, was cut down by the dragoon guards.
