Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

To the north of Shinno Castle, there is a forest more than ten years away.

Before Liu Jue launched the attack, he had already pinched the time, and the sky was just bright at this time.

Cao Ren is resting here with the remnants of the army.

Along the way, Cao Ren gathered a lot of scattered soldiers along the way, and now there are about 3,000 soldiers around him.

And these soldiers were sitting staggered, either unclothed or with frightened expressions, looking like lost dogs, and no longer had the momentum of yesterday.

Cao Ren was also sitting on the ground, next to Cao Hong and Jiang Ji, the three of them looked very embarrassed, and Jiang Ji also ran away with a shoe, which looked quite funny.

Cao Hong's head was wrapped in a white cloth, and there were blood stains soaked out, and at this moment he was holding a stone chip in his hand, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

"Zilian, how are your injuries?" Cao Ren glanced at the soldiers around him, and then asked Cao Hong.

"It's not a big deal! It's just that I'm very puzzled, such a small stone chip can cut me?" Cao Hong covered his forehead, which he had taken from his eyebrow bone.

When the previous thunderbolt exploded, this stone chip just hit Cao Hong, leaving his face covered in blood on the way to escape, and he had just bandaged the wound.

Cao Hong held this stone piece and looked at it for a long time, the corners were quite sharp, as if it had been polished, and he vaguely felt that it was related to that strange bamboo tube.

Cao Ren let out a long sigh and said, "We were all panicked before, but now that we think about it, the so-called 'Heavenly Thunder' is probably also made by Liu Jue." "

Cao Hong was taken aback and said, "You mean that Liu Jue knows the demon law?"

Jiang Ji on the side shook his head and said: "It's not a demon method, the bamboo tube just now can make a loud noise, and it also produces flames, and most of them are weird inside." "

Cao Hong remembered the previous situation, and suddenly shuddered a little, Liu Jue actually had such a terrible thing.

"Brother Zixiao, what should we do now?" Cao Hong looked at Cao Ren blankly, he just wanted to return to Xuchang now, and he didn't want to fight Liu Jue again.

Thinking that there might be that kind of terrible thunder in Liu Jue's hands, Cao Hong felt that his scalp was numb.

With such a terrifying thing, Cao Hong didn't know what to deal with.

Because, this is beyond his cognition, Cao Hong doesn't even know what that thing is!

"Now, let's gather the soldiers first, this time we lost. Cao Ren was indeed a little unwilling in his heart, but if he lost, he lost, and there was nothing to complain about.

Obviously, Liu Jue had already thought about how to deal with them, but they were a little underestimated, and they swaggered into Xinye and fell into the trap set by Liu Jue.

"Now it seems that Liu Jue was able to defeat Zhou Yu not by luck, this person is indeed very capable!" Cao Ren sighed again.

If it was just that fire, Cao Ren felt that his losses would not be so serious, because when the fire first broke out, many soldiers had already reacted and began to form a team to find a way out.

But that terrible thunder made the soldiers panic, and they ran around like headless flies, and many of them were trampled to death by their own robes.

The 30,000 army when it came, now only 3,000 remnants of the defeated army remained, which could not be more miserable.

Cao Ren didn't dare to imagine how many soldiers died in that fire.

What Cao Ren can do now is to wait until after dawn, go and collect the remnants of the nearby soldiers, find a safe place to repair, and then go north to return to Wancheng.

"After returning to Wancheng, I immediately went to ask Sikong for guilt. Cao Ren was already prepared in his heart, no matter how Cao Cao punished him, he would not complain at all.

Because that's the kind of awareness you have to have as a manager.

"I'll go with my brother!" Cao Hong said through gritted teeth

At this moment, a soldier came to report with a panicked expression: "General Qiyu, there is a group of men and horses coming here from the south, most of them are chasing soldiers sent by Liu Jue. "

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly!" Cao Ren stood up suddenly, it was normal for the defeated army to be chased and killed, he used to do this often, but now it was his turn.

Without saying much, Cao Ren immediately turned on his horse and, together with Cao Hong and Jiang Ji, led his soldiers to continue to flee north.

At this time, a few miles to the south, Liu Jue was leading his soldiers and horses to chase after him, and he knew that Cao Ren would definitely flee to the north.

And along the way, there were not many Cao Jun scattered soldiers on the road, and they were obviously collected by Cao Ren.

When chasing here, Liu Jue had already found traces of a large number of troops passing by, and it seemed that Cao Ren was in front.

Liu Jue ordered his subordinates to slow down, and at the same time sent spies to wipe ahead.

At this time, a soldier came running from behind and told Liu Jue: "Major General, General Gan Ning and Mr. Pang Tong are here with two thousand soldiers and horses. "

"Pang Tong and Gan Ning are here. Liu Jue was a little surprised, and immediately asked the army to stop and wait for Pang Tong and Gan Ning.

About two quarters of an hour later, Pang Tong and Gan Ning arrived with their troops.

Liu Jue stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Shiyuan and Xingba are here, are they here to help me pursue Cao Ren?"

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Yes, we are here to help the young general." "

Gan Ning asked directly: "Young General, have you found Cao Ren's whereabouts?"

Liu Jue said with a smile: "I found it, it should be not far ahead, I was about to catch up, but you came." "

Gan Ning was overjoyed and said: "That's the best, wait for me to capture Cao Rensheng and sacrifice it to the young general!"

At this time, Pang Tong said: "Although the Cao army is defeated now, there should still be thousands of soldiers around Cao Ren, if we rashly pursue, we may fall into Cao Ren's ambush." "

Gan Ning was a little surprised and said, "Do you just let Cao Ren go?"

"Of course not!".

Pang Tong shook his head and said: "At this moment, Cao Ren's soldiers must already be frightened birds, even if we don't chase and kill, they will be like lost dogs, panicking all day long." "

Liu Jue understood Pang Tong's intentions and said: "What Shiyuan means, we will follow Cao Ren closely, steadily pursue and kill, and constantly consume their physical strength. "

Pang Tong nodded and said: "Yes! At this moment, the Cao army is all defeated, and they must not have brought much dry food when they escape from Xinye Cang, and when they finish eating dry food and there is no more food, they will collapse on their own." "

Gan Ning also understood, and said, "When the time comes, we will be able to wipe them out without much effort." "

Pang Tong continued: "Moreover, this is also to prevent the other party from trapping the beast and causing us unnecessary casualties. "

Liu Jue laughed and said, "This is a good idea, anyway, Wen Ping should go north to Wancheng, and we can just go over to meet him." "

Pang Tong also smiled and said: "What the young general said is extremely true!"
