"Report, second commander, we have chased for six or seven miles, and the marks of the carriages and horses on the road are messy, and it is obvious that there are soldiers and horses passing by. Because it was too dark, it was inevitable that there would be a loss, so I had to go back first! ”

It was the same group of people who were exploring the road to the edge of Wuling County.

"Oh?!"

When Sun Er heard this, he was a little surprised.

If the enemy army is going to this road, then the road in Liucheng should not have been explored back at this time!

There must be something wrong with this.

"The brothers have worked hard, rest for a while, and wait for the brothers on that road to come back, depending on the situation, and then make plans!"

Sun Er didn't dare to jump to conclusions easily, he needed to make inferences based on the situation of that road.

In this way, after waiting for about half a pillar of incense, there was also a clear sound of horses' hooves on the road to Liucheng.

It's just that the sound of horses' hooves, obviously, seems to be several fewer in terms of numbers.

"Second Commander!"

Soon, with a sharp cry, a tall guard jumped off his horse, but somehow, when he landed, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Zhao Ting! You're hurt?! ”

Sun Er's eyes were sharp, and at this moment, he had seen this personal guard named Zhao Ting, with an arrow clearly stuck in his back.

Zhao Ting is definitely a top-ranked existence in the entire guard battalion, and this time he was injured, what does it mean? It shows that there must be hostility along the way he explores.

It's just that there are traces of enemy troops on these two roads, which one is it?

"Report, report to the second commander, I waited, only chased two or three miles, and I already saw the traces left by the enemy, only, only blame me, I didn't hold back my temperament for a while, so I chased for several miles, who ever thought, but encountered an ambush on the way. Woowoo woo ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ting couldn't hold back and cried.

The result, obviously. When they went, there were ten people, but only three people came back, and the rest of them must have been killed or injured in an ambush.

"Come on, pull out the arrow for Brother Zhao Ting, and use the gold medicine!"

Sun Er was sad and angry in his heart, but saw that Zhao Ting's face was gradually pale, and it was important to treat his injuries first.

Now, only when Xu Lang comes, can he make a decision again.

……

About two hours later, Xu Lang's army finally arrived.

After listening to Sun Er's return, Xu Lang was also surprised.

"It seems that this great son is playing his tricks again. Fortunately, it was Brother Zhao Ting who had a heart and followed him for a while. Judging from this way, there are some horses on both roads. But the main force should not be on the road of Liucheng. When the Zhao Ting brothers were attacked, they must have deliberately caused most of our army to follow them, and they had already fled on another road. ”

Xu Lang made his own judgment.

This side of Liucheng is close to the river, and the other bank is the area under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. If so, Jingzhou is aware of it, and they have to worry that there will be trouble. Therefore, dividing the troops into two routes, and setting up an ambush to intercept and kill scouts on the side of Liucheng, is to believe that the great prince is going to Liucheng.

"General, what should I do now?"

Sun Er immediately asked, after resting for half a day, he was already full of energy.

"It's difficult, if it's late today, we are not familiar with the roads on both sides, and if we want to march at night, I'm afraid it won't work. It's just that if they wait until dawn, it will undoubtedly give them more opportunities to escape! ”

Xu Lang was also a little annoyed.

Because, he has clearly understood that there are no people near here, and it may not be easy to find a guide.

Moreover, when marching at night, you have to guard against the great prince from leaving a backhand. If there is an attack and an accident occurs, then I don't know how many soldiers will lose their lives.

Therefore, Xu Lang was also at a loss for a while.
