Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 920
Chapter 920
Zhu Ling is cautious by nature. Seeing Zhang Fei suddenly appear here, the first thought in his mind is: It’s broken, it’s in ambush!
“Why don’t you see the enemy’s ambush?” Zhu Ling asked suspiciously again.
Uncertainty for a while, Zhu Ling had to order the soldiers to inform Cao Zhen and let Cao Zhen make the decision.
“What? Zhang Fei appeared alone?”
Cao Zhen also felt strange after hearing the news. After thinking about it, it would be better to go up and see it himself. So Cao Zhen led the Chinese army all the way to the front.
“A good man.”
Seeing Zhang Fei who looked like an iron tower, Cao Zhen couldn’t help but exclaim. At the same time, he can also feel that the martial arts of this black-faced general is definitely not inferior to the previous Xiliang Ma Chao, and they are all peerless fighters!
“I am Zhang Yide from Yan, who would dare to fight with me!”
The sound was like a huge thunder, Cao Zhen couldn’t help frowning slightly.
“Huh, it’s just a pair of husbands, who is going to single you out?” Cao Zhen snorted and exclaimed, “Where is the archer? Shoot this black boy into a hedgehog!”
Thousands of archers immediately gathered up, opened their bows and set up their arrows, and a burst of arrows shot out intensively, woven into a large net in the sky, enveloping Zhang Fei and his horse.
“Wow!”
Zhang Fei cried a few times, the Zhangba Snake spear whirled and swung to dial the arrow rain that shot at him, and he left the horse without forgetting to turn around and shout: “You wait for more to bully the less, and you are not a hero, old man. Zhang Bu played with you.”
“Hmph, chase me!” Cao Zhen shouted, “Catch Zhang Fei, and the official will be promoted to the third level!”
Hearing this, Wan Yu Cao Jun was overjoyed and followed Zhang Fei one after another, chasing him towards him.
At this moment Zhang Fei is just alone, while Cao Jun is a crowd of people. Naturally, all of them are bold and yelling, urging them to step down and move forward quickly.
“Don’t run away from the black guy in front, stop!”
“Blackface, don’t run away if you have the ability, stop and fight us!”
“I’m not a fool. If you ask me to stop, I won’t be able to stop?” Zhang Fei turned around and yelled, then turned around and ran. A group of Cao Jun couldn’t help but laugh.
However, Cao Zhen slowly felt something was wrong: Why did this Fei suddenly appear on the road alone? Is it possible to delay the pace of our army?
But can he be blocked in time? It is said that Liu Bei has trained tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yuzhou. It is impossible to ask this flying horse to stop his army alone, right?
Could it be… Zhang Fei’s servant deliberately used himself as bait to lure the enemy?
Thinking of this, Cao Zhen couldn’t help but his expression changed.
And Zhu Ling on the side suggested to Cao Zhen at the same time: “Zi Dan, did Zhang Fei’s servant deliberately lure our army to be fooled, set up an ambush halfway, and prepare to ambush our army?”
Cao Zhen nodded slowly: “Well, it’s very possible.”
“Then quickly order the whole army to stop.”
“Don’t worry, if you can catch Zhang Fei, you can take him as a hostage and exchange back the 30,000 people who were taken by Liu Bei.” Cao Zhen said, “Order the soldiers to continue to pursue!”
Hearing Cao Zhen’s words, Zhu Ling had no choice but to order Cao Jun’s front army to continue pursuing forward, stubbornly following Zhang Fei, while constantly shooting arrows. But these Cao Jun cavalrymen were not proficient in cavalry and shooting, and the arrows they shot were not accurate at all, and Zhang Fei couldn’t help him for a while.
“Hey, as long as Cao Jun chases in…”
Zhang Fei urged the Wucha horse to gallop forward, and he couldn’t help but smile when he saw the woods ahead.
But at this moment…
“The whole army stops, don’t chase the poor!” Cao Zhen suddenly shouted.
Hearing Cao Zhen’s order, most of the Cao army naturally stopped. Only a dozen riders refused to give up. They still followed Zhang Fei, and after being severely reprimanded by Cao Zhen, they stopped.
A large forest appeared in Cao Zhen’s sight. He stared at the woods that appeared in front of him, his pupils shrunk, his expression solemn.
The Art of War said: Do not enter every forest. Because the mountains and forests are the easiest to hide their bodies, the enemy is likely to set up an ambush in the mountains. If they chase into the ambush, they are likely to be ambushed.
For example, Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger, was chasing Huang Zu, but he chased into the Yanshan Mountain in one fell swoop. He was shot by the Jingzhou Army who was ambushing in it and died.
Cao Zhen stared at the woods in front of him with a pair of eyes. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. When he saw a large stone, a flash of light suddenly lit up, probably because of the reflection of a piece of nail…
“Don’t chase anymore. Zhang Fei is a trick to lure the enemy. He has already set up an ambush in this mountain forest.”
“The front team changed to the rear team and ordered Lu Zhao to lead the rear army to retreat. After Zhu Ling broke off, to prevent the enemy from chasing down, the whole army retreated!” Cao Zhen waved.
Although I don’t know what is going on, Cao Zhen has already issued an order, and many Cao Jun naturally have to follow it. The position of the 13,000 Cao army immediately changed, the rear army led by Lu Zhao became the front army, and the front army led by Zhu Ling became the rear army, slowly retreating.
“Three generals, the enemy seems to know that we have set up an ambush in the forest and retreated.”
Lin Xue on the side whispered to Zhang Fei.
“Well, these birdmen seem to have seen through the general’s strategy and retreated directly. It is a pity.” Zhang Fei shook his head.
After leading soldiers in battle for many years, Zhang Fei was naturally too rough and fine. When he voluntarily asked to stay behind, Liu Bei was a little worried, so he urged him to be careful. Zhang Fei thought about it for a while, then set up this strategy, and appeared as a bait to seduce Cao Jun. When Cao Jun followed him and chased him, the ambush soldiers hidden in the forest took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation to kill the enemy army by surprise.
“Three generals, or let’s go out and kill Cao Jun!” Lin Xue said viciously.
“No, the enemy has seen through my strategy. This ambush will not be effective, and the morale of the enemy will not be affected. Our army has no more than 5,000 people, less than half of the enemy’s army, how to fight?”
Zhang Fei shook his head and also waved his hand: “When the enemy retreats, our army will retreat.”
“Yes, General Three.” Lin Xue only felt a pity for a while, and did not dare to refute Zhang Fei.
Cao Zhen didn’t know how many Liu Beijun were ambushing in the forest, but even if he knew, he might not attack rashly. The main reason for sending troops this time was not to avenge Xiahou Dun, but to retake the more than 30,000 people abducted by Liu Bei.
And if the loss of the 3,000 Cao army is too great, then it would be meaningless to retake the people.
So after seeing the enemy’s ambush, Cao Zhen ordered to turn around and leave. Zhang Fei also understood that the attack at this moment could not defeat Cao Jun, but might fall into a bitter battle, so he ordered the retreat.
