Xiahou Dun bowed his head in shame and said, "My lord, Xiang Yu's cavalry suddenly increased in combat power for some unknown reason.

"You!..." Cao Cao shouted angrily, but in the end it was replaced by deep helplessness.Liu Rui has calculated everything he has, including all his reactions during the battle, has been calculated by Liu Rui to death.

"Forget it! Forget it!" After all, Cao Cao couldn't bear to punish Sima Yi. Xiang Yu was originally Liu Rui's general. If Xiang Yu led Liu Rui's tiger and leopard cavalry, he might indeed be able to break up Sima Yi's army in one or two rounds.

But now Cao Cao felt a deep despair.Cao Cao also suddenly remembered Liu Rui's anger when he heard Jia Xu's poisoned timing.Cao Cao can be sure that Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang under Liu Rui's command would never have imagined Jia Xu's poisonous scheme.Naturally, there is no way to prevent such a poisonous scheme.

But what makes Cao Cao extremely regretful is that Jia Xu's poisonous scheme is impeccable no matter how he looks at it, but it happens that Yushui River and Bishui River are very important.No one could have imagined that the water conservancy facilities built by Liu Rui in Nanyang would swallow all the water in the Yushui River in one go, causing the Yushui River to stop flowing.

And without Jia Xu's strategy, now Cao Cao has no way to fight against Liu Rui.

"In the current situation, I'm afraid I can only hope that the military division can annihilate Liu Rui's infantry as soon as possible!" Cao Cao's long sigh also made Xiahou Dun feel helpless.

As a general under Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun has achieved countless military exploits in the process of following Cao Cao, and his achievements are countless, but every time Xiahou Dun faced Liu Rui's army, there was no way to defeat Liu Rui.On the contrary, Xiahou Dun had suffered many losses at the hands of Liu Rui's army.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but sighed: "My lord, I'm worried that something will go wrong with the military advisor!"

Xiahou Dun's words also made Cao Cao stunned, but then Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Impossible, the place that Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others chose before was agreed by Zhicai and Wenhe, but we are the best now. chosen."

"My lord, I am also aware of the counselor's plan, but according to the counselor's plan, if there are no cavalry like us, I am afraid that the counselor and the others will not be able to do their best at that time!" Xiahou Dun said helplessly.

Cao Cao is naturally very clear about this matter, but now Cao Cao can only sigh: "If we can't go, then Liu Rui also has no way to support his infantry army. As long as we drag Liu Rui's troops here. , when the time comes, there will be hope on the military division's side!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun could only helplessly nodded.

On the other side, after joining Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, Liu Rui welcomed Sun Wu, who rushed to the rear.

At this moment, Liu Rui looked at Sun Wu and said, "General Sun Wu, I have to go back to support the military advisors and the others. For Cao Mengde, I can only leave it to you!"

"Don't worry, lord, General Xiang Yu will be evacuated later, lord will set off first, with me and General Cunxiao here, there will be no problems." Sun Wu cupped his hands and smiled, and then looked at Cao Cao's men who were madly fleeing ahead, and said. He smiled and said, "There is still more than an hour before dawn. After dawn, when Cao Cao reacts, I am afraid it will be too late."

Liu Rui also nodded heavily. The arrangement this time was to gradually withdraw his own troops and horses through continuous pursuit. Cao Cao's army was only trying to escape, and there was absolutely no way to find Liu Rui's army like this. practice.

On the contrary, that Cao Cao would only think that he had escaped, not only would he not turn around to investigate the falsehood of Liu Rui's army, but would instead order his troops to escape as soon as possible.

When Liu Rui's army retreated, the horsepower of Cao Cao's army was almost at its limit. At that time, if Cao Cao wanted to turn around and come back, I am afraid it would take more time and energy. , , .

712: Entering Ambush

Cao Cao never found out about the abnormal situation of Liu Rui's army behind him.

On the contrary, Cao Cao also felt a little fortunate.At this moment, Cao Cao slowed down his horse slightly, looked at Xiahou Dun and said, "Yuan Rang, give me your water bag!"

Xiahou Dun hurriedly took off the water bladder from the horse and handed it to Cao Cao. He said excitedly, "My lord, Liu Rui can't catch up."

"Haha, Liu Haosheng's soldiers are elite, but he came from Xinye overnight, and now he has traveled such a long distance to pursue, it is extremely difficult for the warhorse to survive until now!" Cao Cao took a few sips. This is gasping for breath and laughing.

"Master, what should we do now?" Xiahou Dun asked uncertainly.

Cao Cao wiped off the water stains on his mouth and mouth, and said, "Let the soldiers eat dry food and drink water on horseback, let's slow down a little bit, if Liu Rui catches up, we will continue to chase him. Pre seduction!"

Xiahou Dun nodded, and Cao Cao laughed again: "But our army is exhausted, and the horses are almost unable to run, so Liu Rui's army is not much better."

Afterwards, Cao Cao ordered the army to gradually slow down, and dispatched horses to keep an eye on the situation behind.In the rear of Cao Cao, Liu Rui and Xiang Yu have now retreated, leaving only part of Sun Wu and Li Cunxiao.

After learning that Cao Cao's scout appeared in front of him to visit the horse, Sun Wu smiled and said, "General Cunxiao, let's speed up the chase once, and then we can withdraw."

Li Cunxiao also nodded heavily. This time, the time for the implementation of this strategy has come to an end.

And following Sun Wu's order, the entire army was speeding up again. Those Cao Jun's scouts had been trampled by Sun Wu's army before they had time to turn around.

Cao Cao in front had just ordered the troops to slow down and eat and drink on horseback. Now he saw Sun Wu's army rushing up again. run away.

Sun Wu's army chased after him for a while before gradually disappearing from Cao Jun's field of vision.Only this time, Cao Cao did not dare to order the army to slow down, and escaped for ten kilometers in one breath. This is why he began to wonder why Sun Wu, who was behind, did not follow.

At this moment, the sky was beginning to turn pale, and the vision became gradually clearer. Cao Cao found a small hillside and looked far into the distance, but he couldn't find any trace of Sun Wu's army at all.

It's as if the army that was chasing after death suddenly evaporated...

"Strange, did Sun Wu go around to ambush us somewhere else?" Cao Cao asked with some uncertainty.

Xiahou Dun on the side was also extremely puzzled, but now he didn't dare to determine whether the other party was still nearby, so he could only say solemnly: "My lord, if we stop now, will we be caught in Liu Haosheng's trick? "

"That's right! I'm worried about that too!" Cao Cao nodded heavily, and then said, "We're going ten miles ahead, and the surrounding area will be a plain. If Liu Haosheng is in an ambush, he should be in this area. , you go to send the order and let everyone cheer up. So as not to be caught off guard again!" Lazy Listening to the Book www.lanren9.com

Xiahou Dun took the lead, and Cao Cao's army continued to run towards the front, but they fled all the way until the sky was clear, and they did not see any Liu Rui's chasing army.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly woke up and said bitterly: "No! Then Liu Rui may have withdrawn long ago!"

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, and this was when he suddenly remembered that they were all focused on escaping along the way, and they didn't even notice how many men and horses were chasing behind them. interrupted.

"My lord, let's go back!" Xiahou Dun hurriedly said.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Yuan Rang, our troops are exhausted now, even if we return to the encirclement, do you think we still have the strength to fight? Then Liu Rui is in similar situation to us, if we go back now , I'm afraid that will just make Liu Rui happy. Let the army rest immediately, as long as we have a good rest, we will go back and kill him Liu Rui by surprise!"

Xiahou Dun nodded silently, just as Cao Cao said, they had no choice but to hurry up and let the soldiers and horses rest and eat.It's just that Xiahou Dun saw the anxiety on Cao Cao's face. He didn't need to think about it. He knew that Cao Cao was worried about the ambush circle of Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong and others. If he was attacked by Liu Rui's cavalry when he surrounded Liu Rui's infantry, I am afraid that there will be problems in the encirclement circle.

Cao Cao was worried on this side, while Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Sun Ce on the other side gathered together again.Previously, the three of them were planning to stay in Xinye City, but because of their own small calculations, they were going to stay out of the way to watch other people fight, but they did not expect that all three of them ended up in this ambush circle.

The three of them at the moment were making tea and chatting in a high place, preparing to watch Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong and Sima Yi besiege Liu Rui's army.

Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Sun Ce did not know what happened on Cao Cao's side.In their opinion, Gao Shun's rebel army was nothing more than a group of turkeys, not to mention the [-] cavalry led by Cao Cao.

The reason why Cao Cao led the [-] cavalry was mainly to move the cavalry out of the encirclement, so as not to be discovered by Liu Rui's scouts and lead to the failure of the ambush.

"Xuande, didn't everyone decide to let you stay in Xinye City earlier, why did you come here too?" Sun Ce looked at Liu Bei with a smile and asked.

However, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I don't feel relieved if I don't watch Liu Haosheng's defeat!" After a while, Liu Bei also looked at Sun Ce and Lu Bu and said, "Bofu, Fengxian, Jia Wenhe now has Jia Wenhe in Xinye City. Sitting in town, there should be no problem, let's wait for news here!"
