Chapter 700: Fighting Wisdom and Courage
"Report~"
"Lord, the Wuling Army is resting twenty miles away from our army!"
After walking for a long time, Cao Cao ordered the army to rest on the spot. After about half an hour, a scout came back to report.
"Fengxiao, Gongda, there are fish entering the net. Hahahaha..."
Cao Cao was a little proud.
It is very remarkable to be able to cheat Wu Shun once.
"This time, it will definitely cause severe damage to the Wuling Army!"
Xun You said. Guo Jia’s plan this time made Xun You also amazed.
"Lord, our army needs to continue moving forward, it is best to let the Wuling Army arrive here."
Guo Jia pointed at his feet and signaled that it meant that the Wuling Army would reach their current position.
The place where Cao Jun repaired was flat and there was no cover around. There were only a few low mountains in the distance.
As for why Guo Jia chose this place as a place for ambush? First, to make Wu Shun, Xu Shu and others not suspicious.
Of course, the most important thing is to facilitate the tiger and leopard cavalry to charge! The terrain is flat, and once the cavalry strikes over, the elite troops like the Wuling Army will be unstoppable.
I guess Cao Hong was ready at this time!
"Transfer the order, the army continues to advance. It should be fast!"
After the rest, Cao Cao gave the order.
This time, Cao Cao no longer walked slowly, but advanced at an extremely fast speed. His posture seemed to be about to shake off the tail of the Wuling Army.
After Cao's army left, two Wuling army scouts quickly ran to the rear in a low-lying land. When Cao's army left, they wanted to convey the news to the army.
...
Cao's army marched for half an hour and suddenly stopped. While a large number of scouts were scattered, Cao's army turned around and walked back!
Cao Cao's move made the Wuling Army scouts who continued to follow them have no time to react. After being discovered and killed by Cao's scouts, someone finally escaped.
But running away at this time is useless.
It's too late!
Even if the Wuling Army scout ran back to report the message to Wu Shun, the Wuling Army would not have time to react.
...
In the place where the Wuling Army was resting, Wu Shun was discussing with the generals and Xu Shu about the movements of Cao's army and how to deal with them.
Through the follow-up method, the Wuling Army can effectively intimidate the Cao army so that it cannot easily attack the city.
However, this method has its drawbacks. That is, the Wuling Army does not have the initiative, and all actions depend on how Cao's army moves. And they are very dependent on the scout's exploration ability.
This is the most deadly! Once the Cao army deceived or destroyed the scouts of the Wuling Army, then the "big tail" army led by Wu Shun will be able to completely deaf and blind.
Just as Wu Shun was about to order to continue moving forward, a sound of horse hooves came from far and near...
"Report to the lord, Cao's army accelerated toward Zhongmu."
The two scouts who came back reported to Wu Shun.
"Accelerate departure? But there are soldiers who continue to follow the investigation?" Wu Shun asked.
"Yes!" the scout replied.
After Wu Shun asked, he learned that there were scouts following Cao Jun. He didn't take this change seriously.
"Lord, Cao's army may have a plan for this move! We should act cautiously!"
Xu Shu reminded.
"Well, what Cao Cao wants, we can't just guess. Let's do this, the cavalry will go first and catch up with Cao's army."
Wu Shun's meaning is very simple, and Cao's army suddenly accelerated. Should we try to get rid of the Wuling army and attack Zhongmu, or do we want to get out of the Wuling army's sight and make some shameful ambush? We have to catch up with them to know.
"The lord is wise!"
Xu Shu and the generals had no objection to this decision. This was indeed a good way to deal with the sudden changes in Cao's army.
No matter how fast the infantry runs, can they pass faster than the cavalry?
"Where is Zhao Yun?" Wu Shun said seriously.
"The last one is here!" Zhao Yun left the list.
"I ordered you to lead two thousand Qilin cavalry to catch up with Cao's army and find out Cao Cao's intentions!" Wu Shun ordered.
"The last general will receive the order!"
Zhao Yun bowed and left. After a while, the soldiers and Qilin cavalry quickly broke away from the formation and chased Cao's army...
"Send the order, keep moving forward."
After the cavalry left, Wu Shun issued an order to continue advancing. Cao Cao had accelerated his advance towards Zhongmu. If he didn't hurry up, he might not be able to catch up.
If Wu Shun had asked in advance that Cao Cao's army had turned back, he might not have been so anxious.
...
Zhao Yun led the soldiers and Qilin cavalry to gallop for a long time. Cao's army did not see it, but found that three scouts on his side were dying on the side of the road.
He was covered in blood and was seriously injured!
Zhao Yun knew the situation of these three scouts at a glance.
"General Zhao...Cao Army...Cao Army...Cao Army left... and killed him again..."
When a scout saw Zhao Yun coming, he struggled hard, and reported what he knew intermittently to Zhao Yun.
"After Cao's army left, they killed them again. You couldn't react, so it turned out like this?"
Zhao Yun asked.
"We are incompetent and failed to discover Cao's conspiracy in time..."
The scout was a little ashamed. Cao's army suddenly came back, and they were really caught off guard. But after all, they were unable to make the correct judgment.
"It's okay, wait here for the three of you, and the army will arrive soon."
After Zhao Yun left two people to take care of him, he led his troops to continue moving forward. His mission was to understand what arrangements Cao's army had.
Now I learned from the scout that Cao's army had returned and destroyed his scout.
...
"Zilong, look!"
After the Qilin cavalry galloped for about half an hour, Zhang Ren pointed ahead and was slightly surprised.
"Sure enough, there is something to do!"
Zhao Yun looked in the direction of Zhang Ren's finger and found Cao's army's neat queue. The other party seemed to know that he was coming.
On the other hand, Cao Cao also discovered the cavalry of the Wuling Army. Wu Shun was indeed as Guo Jia said, and would let the cavalry advance first.
"Fengxiao, the Wuling cavalry is really here." Cao Cao said happily.
"Lord, the infantry of the Wuling Army should be still on the road at this moment. Unfortunately, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are not there, otherwise they can eat this cavalry directly."
Guo Jia said with some regret.
The Cao army had no cavalry, and although there were many people, they could not help the cavalry on the opposite side.
Of course, Zhao Yun would not use two thousand people to confront Cao's army.
Cao Cao was known as a 100,000 army, but only about 30,000 people were arranged here. This shows that Cao's army had made great plans this time.
"Senior brother, please go back to the lord and inform us of the situation here."
Zhao Yundao.
He was afraid that he could not explain clearly when he sent his soldiers back.
"Okay, Zilong is careful."
Zhang Ren did not shirk responsibility and agreed directly. There were only 30,000 Cao's army in front of him, and where did nearly 60,000 people go? This is worth pondering!
The Qilin cavalry stopped moving and stopped to confront Cao's army. Zhao Yun did not send cavalry to investigate the surrounding situation.
Because since the Cao army dared to blatantly line up here and wait for them, they must have made all preparations.
Instead of wasting time, it is better to let the soldiers have a good rest. Maybe there will be a big battle at any time.
The same is true for Cao's army, without any desire to attack.
Until night fell, Zhao Yun led his troops to retreat, and Cao's army also retreated and camped.
