It looked like a heavily guarded military camp, but when Cao Chun led his troops in, they encountered no decent resistance. After sensing that something was wrong, the soldiers in the camp ran away!!

"Retreat!" Looking at the camp that had become empty at this moment, Cao Chun felt the cold air rising from his back. He didn't even rush in to see if there was any food and grass. He made a decision immediately, turned his horse's head, and prepared to retreat.

Although he didn't know when he was discovered by the enemy, Cao Chun was sure that even if he burned down the camp here, there wouldn't be much food and grass in it. He had only fought against the Guanzhong Army once or twice, and had never encountered one before.

I have seen the Guanzhong Army who fled without fighting.

The Tigers and Leopards didn't know what happened, but the military orders were overwhelming. Cao Chun gave the order, and the Tigers and Leopards immediately began to change their formations, first stopping their horses, and then turning their horses' heads to prepare for withdrawal.

Whether it was Cao Chun's reaction or the speed with which the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry executed the order, it was not unpleasant, but it was still too late. The moment the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry turned around, in the darkness, a row of crossbow arrows shot through the air. Behind them, dozens of people

The tiger and leopard cavalry were shot off their horses by powerful crossbow arrows. Behind them, dozens of torches lit up, and rows of soldiers holding powerful crossbows quickly advanced.

Rows of crossbow arrows are still shooting towards this side. The crossbow has a huge body and the power of the crossbow arrows is far beyond that of the ordinary big yellow crossbow. It was made by Jing Majun and Liu Yi after making some adjustments on the basis of the big yellow crossbow.

The new crossbow can shoot through plate armor at a distance of a hundred steps.

Behind these crossbowmen are spearmen holding spears. Behind them are shield soldiers holding a shield in one hand and a torch in the other. Looking back, all you can see is a large number of torches like fire dragons.

Like spreading towards this side in the darkness.

"Follow me!" Cao Chun's expression remained unchanged, he turned the horse's head directly and headed east.

The tiger and leopard cavalry are all cavalry, and this place is not a desperate situation. If they want to leave, the enemy cannot stop them.

"Rumble~" At this moment, amidst the rapid sound of horse hooves, a cavalry rushed towards this side. Behind the cavalry, a large number of soldiers holding torches appeared. The first general rushed to the front.

Wearing an animal face and swallowing gold armor, with a white robe on his shoulders, sitting on a very handsome BMW, holding a silver spear, he was quite eye-catching. He came directly to the front of the formation and said with a loud smile: "Thieves, you know Xiliang

Ma Chao!?"

Cao Chun tightened the sword in his hand, with a cold and stern look in his eyes. Ma Chao naturally knew that he had cut off his beard and discarded his robes after killing Cao Cao two months ago. In the end, he successfully fought through the siege of tens of thousands of troops. He did not expect that he would appear at this moment.

it's here!

All in all, Ma Chao hasn't appeared for a long time. Could he have been waiting here?

Cao Chun was shocked and confused. For a moment, he didn't know how many men and horses the other party had arranged to ambush him. The camp was surrounded by mountains and forests to the west and a surging river to the north. Now both the southeast and southeast directions were blocked. Now, it could be

It has truly become a desperate situation.

"General, let's fight!" the deputy general rushed to Cao Chun's side and gritted his teeth.

"Withdraw into the camp and wait until dawn to make plans!" Cao Chun turned around and glanced at the camp behind him. At this time, as the commander-in-chief, it was best not to take action rashly without knowing whether we were the enemy or not.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to withdraw to the main camp. After quickly sealing the camp gate, they began to investigate the situation in the camp.

On the other side, Zhang He, who was standing behind the shield bearer and commanding the military formation, looked at Xu Shu beside him in surprise: "Sir, are you really right?"

It is good to gather a large number of troops here, but if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are determined to break through, they may not be able to keep all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. After all, they are the elite of Cao's army, and their own side looks huge, but in fact,

The people holding torches in the back are all civilians carrying grain and grass.

Now that Cao Chun is hiding in the military camp, it will be different. It is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out.

"Cao Chun is a man who is brave and resourceful. He is not in chaos in battle, so he can be a general!" Xu Shu twisted his beard and smiled when he heard this: "But it is precisely because of this that our army is now very powerful. Cao Chun does not know the situation of our army.

We will definitely not charge indiscriminately. We retreat to the camp at this time because we want to wait until dawn to see our military situation clearly before we can make a decision."

If it were someone else, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong or Le Jin, they might have directly attacked with their troops at this time. In that case, neither Ma Chao nor Zhang He would be able to stop Cao Hong. In order to keep the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Xu Shu

There are also ambushes set up in the mountains and forests. If Cao Hong rushes in that direction, he can scare the opponent away. However, for this reason, although Chen Mo gave Xu Shu more than ten thousand troops, it would be difficult to completely block the opponent if they were spread out.

Fortunately, Cao Chun is not the kind of person who blindly fights for his life when faced with a desperate situation. This also gave Xu Shu the opportunity to trap Cao Chun to death.

Zhang He nodded, so being smart and calm is not necessarily a good thing on the battlefield. Xu Shu had obviously carefully studied Cao Jun's generals before. As the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun was naturally among Xu Shu's studies.

I just don’t know if Cao Chun would be happy or disappointed if he knew Xu Shu’s plan.

Seeing the tiger and leopard cavalry entering the camp in an orderly manner, Xu Shu smiled and said: "For the rest, we have to rely on the general."

"Don't worry, sir!" Zhang He nodded. If the tiger and leopard cavalry were bent on breaking out of the encirclement, it would not be easy to stop the enemy. After all, he looked very powerful here, but most of them were civilians, but now he retreated into the camp.

Here, that means tying your own hands.

Zhang He ordered his men to blow the horn and began to assemble in the direction of the camp.

At the same time, in the camp, Cao Chun noticed something was wrong as soon as he entered the camp. There was a pungent smell in the air. After a while, the soldiers who went to explore the camp came to report one after another, but the news they brought made Cao Chun confused.

Chun felt regretful: "General, there is no food in the camp. The granaries are full of tung oil-stained hay and other fire starters."

Not only were the granaries and tents greased, but hay was also spread everywhere underfoot.

This is not a camp. It is clearly a hole dug by the opponent. He had already jumped out, but now he broke in by himself. Cao Chun suddenly regretted it. If he had known this, he should have broken out of the encirclement just now.

It's just that it's too late to say anything now.

"Quickly, clear away all the fire-provoking objects around you!" Cao Chun said, looking at the soldiers.

"Here!"

Although I knew it was of little significance, it was better than doing nothing. But at this moment, rows of rockets shot in from outside the camp. The rockets landed on the tent, and immediately set the tent on fire and fell to the ground.

The space began to spread around, and now it was too late to clean up. The entire military camp instantly became a mess.

People can control it, but horses cannot. Animals are afraid of fire. There are flames in all directions at the moment, and more flames are shooting in from outside the camp. The horses in the camp are bumping around like headless flies, and many soldiers are directly hit.

Fei, Cao Chun could only lead his men and horses to retreat towards the rear camp, all the way to the river, and clear a lot of open space around them, thus avoiding the disaster of fire.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, as if even the sky was dyed red. A group of people stood in the surging river, feeling the heat wave that was constantly filling the air. Even the elite tiger and leopard riders felt waves of despair at this moment.

The horses were gone, and many people didn't even have time to take their weapons off their horses. In the military camp, many out-of-control horses rushed towards us from time to time, and they had to work together to kill them.

Before the battle, all the horses of his own cavalry were lost. Now it is a luxury to hope to break through. One step is wrong, every step is wrong. Cao Chun looked at this scene and tightened the sword in his hand. Who could have imagined that tigers and leopards dominate the world?

Riding, will it be defeated in such a way?

A flash of fish belly white lit up on the sky, and the fire gradually stopped. Cao Chun quickly ordered people to collect the horses that were not burned to death and collect weapons. No matter what, even if the tiger and leopard cavalry died, they should not die so cowardly.

Outside the camp, Zhang He raised his hand, and the soldiers who were ready quickly hooked their claws on the wall. Dozens of people pulled the ropes and exerted force together. A section of the wall was pulled down like this. The camp watched

It's strong, but it's actually meant to trick people, and it will fall over when you pull it.

Xu Shu sat on his horse and looked in the direction of the camp from a distance. He could see Cao Jun hurriedly packing up his weapons and horses, but he didn't feel too nervous in his heart. The matter was over, the victory or defeat was decided. This battle should be over.

Okay, I'd better stay farther away.

As the sky gradually became brighter, the fire finally disappeared completely, and there were burnt marks everywhere. Zhang He and Ma Chao each commanded their troops and began to encircle Cao Chun on the collapsed city wall.

Cao Chun led his troops and horses to launch a breakout. He could see that the enemy troops were not as numerous as they seemed last night. He had been deceived. The anger and unwillingness in his heart drove Cao Chun to lead his troops and horses to launch a breakout. But in the face of

The Guanzhong soldiers were completely surrounded. Cao Chun was hit by three arrows from the cold crossbows and was dragged back by his men. In the camp, a large number of tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"Thieves, you have no way to retreat. If we don't surrender now, when will we wait?" Zhang He rode his horse and stood in front of the formation, shouting loudly.

With the surging river behind him and the encirclement of countless Guanzhong troops in front of him, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were in a desperate situation. There were only two ways left for Cao Chun, either to surrender or to throw themselves into the river.

Cao Chun looked at the remaining Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers around him, smiled bitterly, and saluted everyone: "Everyone, Cao Chun is incompetent, and the tired soldiers have suffered such a disaster. They really have no face to see the lord again, so go ahead!"

After saying that, without saying a word, he turned around and jumped into the surging river without hesitation, disappearing in an instant.

Zhang He opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end. He just sighed, looked at the remaining Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers, and said solemnly: "Surrender, or die!"

Some people silently put down their weapons, while others turned around and threw themselves into the river. Although it was early spring, the water was still cold. If you jumped like this, even if you were saved, you probably wouldn't be able to survive for long.
