Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and this was indeed a solution.

Although both sides were injured just now, Cao's army was ambushed like this, and people's hearts must be volatile. Suddenly, countless torches appeared in the darkness, and the sound of killing sounds were everywhere. Cao's army was very likely to be scared away.

"But we don't have that many torches." Ma Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.

It was bright tonight, and he was a pursuer, so of course it was impossible to pursue him with a torch. Anyway, he had no one torch.

"Don't worry, General. I'm prepared for it. I brought many torches and a few war drums." Chen Deng smiled and said, pinching his beard.

Of course, the plan was not what he thought now. Chen Deng was really worried about the situation ahead and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he asked Hu Zhen for an order and led 3,000 troops to pick him up, and he was prepared for it.

Ma Chao breathed out and said sincerely: "The general is really appropriate."

"Come on the way. Spread out from all sides, light a torch, roar loudly, and beat the drum." Chen Deng waved his hand and ordered loudly.

Ma Chao also let his iron-armored soldiers and those who could move disperse and roared loudly.

.........

The battlefield where Cao Cao and Ma Chao fight.

Zhu Ling went down to clean the battlefield, and his troops also suffered some casualties, so he ordered the wounded soldiers to go down to rest, and used thousands of elite soldiers to clean the battlefield. This was very troublesome and slow.

You don’t need arrows. Picking up weapons is simple, and collecting war horses is also simple. It is only difficult to take out armor and need to be peeled off from the corpse.

The corpse is scattered in the darkness, which is also very troublesome to find.

In addition, all the soldiers of the Cao army experienced a fierce battle, with people and horses being trapped, lacking physical strength, and low morale, so they were even slower to do it.

"Oh. It's so cowardly." Zhu Ling recalled the scenes of besieging Ma Chao and sighed.

He followed Cao Cao to fight south and north for a long time, pacifying the entire Central Plains, and was invincible wherever he passed, and had never fought such a battle.

Li Dian, Li Tong and others led their troops to guard against each other. Li Tong's troops suffered heavy casualties, and many injured soldiers, some seriously injured soldiers lying on the ground wailing, which greatly affected morale.

Although the rest of the men were on guard, they were weak.

Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan sat on the bench, and Xu Chu stood aside and commanded the personal soldiers to protect him.

"Miaocai. Although this battle is cowardly, we can peel a lot of iron armor from the corpse. After we arrive in Jinyang, we will recruit soldiers from the local area to replenish our troops. However, for the losses of your soldiers, I want to draw elite soldiers from each unit to supplement them, and give you all the iron armor. After repairing and repairing, it will be used, and we will also form a 10,000-strong iron armor soldier."

Cao Cao raised his head and said seriously to Xiahou Yuan.

When fighting with Ma Chao, Cao Cao saw the power of all the iron armored soldiers. Among the generals, Xiahou Yuan was outstanding in his ability, and the Cao family and Xiahou family had been married and friendship for generations, and he was the true confidant of his heart and became the most suitable person.

"No." Xiahou Yuan responded, but there was no joy in his eyebrows, only anger. He said again: "When I train the elite soldiers, if I meet Ma Chao again, I will defeat him."

"Okay, ambitious." Cao Cao showed a look of relief on his face and gently patted Xiahou Yuan on the shoulder.

After saying this, Cao Cao relaxed a little more and asked in a low voice: "Miaocai, what do you think of Li Dian?"

"The gunshots are good, but they are less fierce." Xiahou Yuan blurted out without thinking much.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded, showing a thoughtful look. Otherwise, let Li Dian be the county magistrate, prefect, and become a civil servant?

At this moment, the sound of killing suddenly broke out in the south.

"kill!!!!"

"Dongdongdongdongdong!!!"

There was another sound of drums that was deafening. Under the darkness, it seemed like an invisible beast was rushing towards him fiercely, and his murderous aura filled the sky.

"Huh?" Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan's expression changed drastically. After Xiahou Yuan stood up, he bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, I'll go and lead the troops."

"Wait." Cao Cao reached out to stop Xiahou Yuan. A look of gloomy expression appeared on his face, and finally sighed and said, "Miaocai, let's withdraw our troops immediately."

"Why? Lord. There are at least eight thousand armors on this ground, not only Ma Chao left behind, but also our own iron armor." Xiahou Yuan said in a lost voice after hearing this.

Cao Cao shook his head, sighed, and said, "In the darkness, I don't know how many people there are. Is it five thousand? Ten thousand? Or is Hu Zhen full of his nest?"

"Hu Zhen's original purpose was to let Ma Chao be bait and lead the elite soldiers behind us to ambush us? Or, Hu Zhen heard that Ma Chao was fighting with us and both suffered losses and led the troops to support us? We didn't know at all. And you see our troops, injured, tired, and not very morale, just like a frightened bird. Of course, it's a pity for these eight thousand pieces of iron armor. But we cannot pay the price of annihilation for this benefit."

Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly, and blue veins appeared on the back of his hand, and his face looked extremely ugly. But a real man should stop and suffer from it.

It is not Cao Cao's style that may have paid a huge price for eight thousand armors.

"Oh." Xiahou Yuan opened his mouth and finally said nothing. He stepped on the ground with his right foot, sighed, turned over and dismounted, rode his horse to Cao's army, and shouted: "Lord has a order to withdraw the army."

When Cao's soldiers heard this, they were not discouraged, but became a little more energetic. Can they finally retreat? They looked back at Nanfang and showed a relieved expression.

Tonight, they really don't want to fight again.

After a little gathering, Cao Cao rolled to the north like a gust of wind. Cao Cao was in a bad mood.

The casualties and injuries in this battle were actually more of the Cao army, and they were defeated for a while. If they could get all the iron armor, they would still be a small victory for a while.

Now, a small defeat has become a medium defeat. The Liang army has a large territory and a large population, so it can recruit many soldiers at will. After obtaining these armors, repairing them, and strengthening their strength.

Ambush? Ambush that farts.

I was lonely.

.........

Not long after, a group of Liang's spies on horseback arrived at the battlefield first. After searching around, they confirmed that Cao Cao had really retreated, and then they conveyed the news back.

When Ma Chao and Chen Deng led their troops to the battlefield, Dongfang's belly was already turning white and it was about to dawn.

"Detect all the horses and horses to find out the movements within a radius of ten miles." Chen Deng was very cautious and first sent the horses and horses to arrange them around to alert him. Then he ordered the soldiers to collect weapons and armor.

Ma Chao was very happy. The armor and weapons on this land could be considered as an explanation to His Majesty. The soldiers were a little unhappy, but the general had orders and could only focus on collecting them.

Chen Deng is more thoughtful.

Since Cao Cao was scared away, there was no need to worry about this matter anymore.

"I must study Hu Zhen's book." Chen Deng thought to himself.

Although I won this time and got great benefits, it was really wrong.
