Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

"General, Cao Cao's army has made a move!"

During the raid, Deputy General Zhang Liao spoke up.

"Strange, are these really Cao Cao's vanguard troops?"

"Why are there so few soldiers?"

Zhang Liao squinted, looking puzzled.

"Wasn't it said that Cao Cao's vanguard consisted of four thousand men, including three thousand elite cavalry?"

"How come it seems there are only a thousand people?"

The lieutenant immediately burst into laughter:

"General, surely the scout must have been mistaken?"

"How could Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so precious, possibly serve as the vanguard to help Liu Bei attack our army?"

"Cao Cao would definitely be reluctant to part with it."

Zhang Liao remained silent upon hearing this.

He simply nodded slightly.

The lieutenant's words did make some sense.

However, it's always best to be cautious.

After all, there's no smoke without fire.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao spoke up:

"Our army has only about eight hundred cavalrymen."

"Moreover, they are already exhausted from traveling and are unable to continue fighting."

"Be cautious this time and avoid prolonged battles."

"We'll engage the enemy in battle, and then leave after a maximum of ten rounds!"

After giving the order, Zhang Liao let out a soft sigh.

Right now, this is indeed the best option.

After all, his troops had marched all the way from Yangzhou.

There was hardly any rest in between.

Although they can still fight now, they can't hold out for long.

Moreover, there are also doubts about Cao Cao's vanguard.

We absolutely cannot linger in the fight!

Moreover, Zhang Liao's tactics this time were not to annihilate the enemy.

Even if his troops were at their peak, it wouldn't be like this.

His strength lies in using deception and strategy to attack the enemy's mind.

Repeated harassment attacks will damage the morale of Cao Cao's army.

At the same time, Zhang Liao's cavalrymen were all skilled in guerrilla warfare.

They were more adept at withdrawing after a battle than anyone else.

If this happens a few more times, the morale of Cao Cao's vanguard will definitely be damaged.

Taking a break along the way also allows his soldiers to get a short rest.

After all, the initiative was in Zhang Liao's hands.

If we don't do that...

There was no way he could carry out Lü Bu's death order.

The two groups drew closer and closer.

Soon, the new recruits clashed with Zhang Liao's troops.

"I am Zhang Liao! Traitorous general, meet your death now!"

Zhang Liao's voice was like thunder, sending a shiver down one's spine.

Xu Huang and Yu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to confront the enemy.

Although Zhang Liao was brave, Xu Huang and Yu Jin were no slouch either.

The three instantly clashed, and the battle was extremely intense.

This made Zhang Liao wonder.

Who are these two people?

He had never seen it before!

But their martial arts skills are so superb that they are definitely not nobody!

"Do any of you dare to state your names?"

After several rounds, the score remained tied.

Zhang Liao asked, panting heavily.

Although the battle was evenly matched, he knew that he would be defeated after only a few more rounds.

These two are definitely not ordinary people!

"Yu Jin, Xu Huang is here!"

"You traitorous general, surrender quickly!"

After briefly introducing themselves, the two continued their charge.

Yu Jin? Xu Huang?

Zhang Liao had never heard of these two people.

However, the two men came on strong, leaving him no choice but to fight them.

After several more rounds of fighting, Zhang Liao gradually found himself at a disadvantage.

This greatly shocked Yu Jin and Xu Huang.

To be able to do that against two opponents alone is truly incredible!

Zhang Liao was indeed a formidable general!

This is not Yu Jin or Xu Huang boasting.

In Cao Cao's camp, there were very few who could surpass them in martial arts.

"withdraw!"

However, just as they were preparing to go forward for another battle.

Suddenly, Zhang Liao spurred his horse backward and roared.

This was a little earlier than he had planned.

But Zhang Liao had to retreat!

Because what surprised him was not just the two people in front of him!

And there are over a thousand soldiers!

These soldiers were actually able to fight on equal terms with their own large army!

The main reason was that his cavalrymen were already exhausted from their long journeys.

But this was the first time he had ever seen such well-organized and excellent soldiers!

We can't keep fighting like this.

This is so strange, everything is so strange!

"Just as you predicted, sir!"

"Zhang Liao, he really is here to fight a guerrilla war!"

Xu Huang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shouted:

"Recruits, hold off the enemy!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the new recruits suddenly sprang to their feet.

Their combat power is on a completely different level compared to just now!

"They actually hid their true abilities?!"

Zhang Liao was immediately startled.

He had never seen anything so strange!

In an instant, his troops were suppressed.

It seems that a complete withdrawal is impossible!

Of the eight hundred people, at least three hundred will perish here!

But Zhang Liao can't worry about that now!

We'll evacuate as many as we can!

Just as he was preparing to withdraw his troops on horseback.

Suddenly, the sound of galloping hooves came from not far away.

"There are reinforcements?!"

Zhang Liao's eyes widened in disbelief; he had never expected this.

Even with reinforcements, his troops, at their peak, could easily have escaped.

Unfortunately, their strength was not at its peak, and they encountered such troublesome soldiers!

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, charge with me!"

Cao Chun saw that Zhang Liao had already fallen into the trap and was now a sitting duck.

Overjoyed, he immediately gave the order.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

Zhang Liao's heart had already turned cold.

I underestimated my opponent!

They completely underestimated their opponent!

He had assumed that the vanguard sent by Cao Cao's army was the same as he remembered.

After all, Zhang Liao had fought against Cao Cao's army several times.

But he never expected this.

Things went far beyond his expectations!

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are not absent.

Instead, it's a pincer attack from two directions!

"Soldiers, follow me and fight your way out!"

Zhang Liao gripped his spear tightly.

He shouted loudly.

It seems that Zhang Wenyuan is going to die here today.

Even so, it will absolutely not benefit Cao Cao's army!

"etc……"

"General, don't you find this strange?"

Just then, Zhang Liao's deputy general, panting heavily, said:

"We have witnessed the speed of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"Upon hearing their voices, their long swords will arrive in the next moment."

"But they deliberately slowed down their pace..."

"It seems they have no intention of annihilating us at all, but rather... they want to surround us?"

Zhang Liao's deputy general had followed him for many years, and his intellect was far superior to that of an ordinary junior officer.

"That's true."

"What exactly is Cao Jun trying to do?"

Zhang Liao noticed that Cao Cao's army didn't seem to want to fight them.

They immediately abandoned the idea of ​​breaking through.

More than wanting to escape, he wanted to know who had managed to outmaneuver him.

Moreover, where did these soldiers, who were completely unexpected to him, come from?

It's impossible for Cao Cao's army to have trained such a force in just a few months.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the new recruits quickly surrounded Zhang Liao and his troops.

"General Zhang Liao, General Zhang Wenyuan, how have you been?"

Just then, a voice came from behind the new recruits.

This immediately startled Zhang Liao.

How have you been?

who is it?

He had no recollection of having any old friends in Cao Cao's camp!
