"Cao Mengde, you have become a lost dog, why don't you quickly dismount and surrender!" Lu Bu shouted as he led his troops in pursuit.

Cao Cao drove Jueying and fled all the way. When he heard the constant shouting and the sound of horse hooves behind him, his eyes were not surprised but happy, and there was even a trace of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

Using his body as bait, he finally caught the tiger Lu Bu!

Although Lu Bu was tempted to fall into the trap, he was indeed in deep danger at this time. Although the Jueying under his crotch was a one-of-a-kind horse, it was still a bit different from the king of horses, Red Rabbit. Cao Cao was urging him crazily.

Although there was a horse on his crotch, Lu Bu still rode the red rabbit and approached little by little. The two sides chased each other for half an hour and came to the edge of a dense forest.

Cao Cao walked straight through the path in the dense forest, and Lu Bu, who was following him, was about to pass through the dense forest as well, when he saw a group of men and horses suddenly rush out from both sides of the dense forest and attack him directly.

"Slave of the third surname! A certain Zang Ba has been waiting for you here for a long time!" An angry curse came from the mouth of Zang Ba, who was the first to rush out and was at the front of the army.

Looking at the group of soldiers and horses that quickly formed in front of him, Lu Bu looked extremely ugly.

Damn Cao Mengde! Someone fell into the trap again!

There were obviously not a few soldiers and horses in the forest. The number of soldiers who rushed out was more than ten thousand, and they all seemed to be elites. It was unknown how many troops were hidden in the forest, and there were vague figures of countless soldiers.

Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao who was behind the army with a sarcastic look on his face, and shouted angrily: "Cao Mengde!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "Haha! Lu Fengxian, do you think that the head of Cao Mengde is so easy to get? The soldiers behind you without your flying general should have been massacred by a certain army by now.

Come on!"

When Lu Bu heard this, a chill ran down his back, and he became furious: "Cao Mengde, Ru Jing has used these conspiracies and tricks to have the ability to fight someone head-on!"

"Soldiers never tire of deceit. Don't you even understand this truth?" Cao Cao said sarcastically: "You abandoned your army to attack and kill someone, and now you blame someone for using tricks to gain you. It's ridiculous!"

Cao Cao was very confident that Lu Bu would catch up. His weight as the overlord of the Central Plains was far beyond that of the tens of thousands of troops. With such a good opportunity to directly capture him, Lu Bu would definitely take the bait, and the result was exactly what he thought.

Zang Ba quickly finished reorganizing his army and led an army of 20,000 people directly towards Lu Bu. Because Lu Bu had been chasing Cao Cao wildly, the Bingzhou cavalry was far behind him and had not yet arrived. Facing him

In front of them, a neat army of 20,000 people led by Zang Ba quickly retreated on horseback.

"Don't take Lu Bu away. Anyone who takes his head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and will be promoted to three levels!" Cao Cao's irritating and mocking encouragement sounded. Just as Lu Bu had chased him, he was now dealing with Lu Bu in turn.

Zang Ba's army roared and charged towards Lu Bu. But Lu Bu was riding a red rabbit horse, so they could catch up with them, so they easily asked Zang Ba's army to retreat and join forces with the Xiliang cavalry behind them.

"Lord, are you okay?" Zang Ba saw that Lu Bu did not pursue him after he escaped, and hurried to Cao Cao's side and asked with concern. He truly admired Cao Cao's courage and dared to use his body as a bait to seduce Lu Bu. How could he be so brave?

People don't admire him? If he had the slightest dissent, Cao Cao would be in danger of his life in an instant. Zang Ba was deeply moved by Cao Cao's trust in entrusting him with such an important task.

"With you here, what can happen to me?" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"The last general is incompetent. In order to defeat Lu Bu, he has to let the lord take risks himself. The last general deserves death!" Zang Ba knelt down on one knee and said sincerely.

Cao Cao gently helped him up: "This is not your fault. Lu Fengxian is the best general in the world, and his Bingzhou cavalry is also the most brave in the world. If we don't take some risks, how can we quickly eliminate this tiger? Okay, hurry up.

Quickly marshal your troops and pursue us. If it's too late and our talents can't stop you, I'm afraid our plan will be in vain."

"Yes! The last general takes the order!" Zang Ba said, cupping his fists.

Zang Ba then organized his troops and horses to protect Cao Cao and continued to pursue Lu Bu along the path he left.

On the other side, the Bingzhou cavalry who followed Lu Bu in pursuit of Cao Cao did not stop the pursuit after being pulled far behind. However, before they could catch up with Lu Bu, a group of more than ten thousand fine cavalry suddenly came out of the diagonal path.

, with a banner with the words Xiahou erected on it.

Chen Gong, who was accompanied by the Bingzhou cavalry, saw this and said anxiously: "No! I have fallen into Cao Mengde's plan."

Cao Xing and others quickly asked: "Military advisor, what should we do?"

Chen Gong thought for a while, recalled the surrounding terrain, and shouted: "Let's break out to the east!"

"What should I do, my lord?" Cao Xing asked.

"My lord's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, and he is accompanied by red rabbits and horses. The opponent cannot defeat my lord. My lord will come back to meet me later, regardless of whether he kills Cao Cao or not." Chen Gong said with certainty.

Having said that, Chen Gong no longer had any hope that Lu Bu could kill Cao Cao. The ambush troops here did not move when Cao Cao and Lu Bu passed by before. They were obviously coming for himself and others. Cao Cao definitely could not have a back-up plan.

He had no trump card to protect his own safety against the Xiliang cavalry.

In fact, these thousands of Bingzhou cavalry are not no match for Xiahou Yuan's more than 10,000 fine cavalry, but at this time, the Bingzhou cavalry is already a lone army, surrounded by Cao Cao's reinforcements. If Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive during the battle, the Bingzhou cavalry will definitely be in danger.

Xia Houyuan did not lead his army to charge, but just hung behind the Bingzhou cavalry from a distance, which was quite like cat and mouse. He did not intend to destroy the Bingzhou cavalry, because he could not fight at all, but he only needed to keep an eye on the Bingzhou cavalry.

Relying on Xia Houyuan's army talent, if the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. It is completely possible to hold back the Bingzhou cavalry and even exhaust them to death. It will be simple to wait until Cao Cao's army arrives and then come to encircle and suppress them.

Chen Gong quickly understood Xia Houyuan's thoughts, but he had no choice. Who knew when Cao Cao's reinforcements would arrive. At this time, he could only lead the Bingzhou cavalry to break out in one direction. Soon, Lu Bu followed the army

The marching path caught up and came to the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry.

"Lord, how are you?" Chen Gong asked. In fact, when he saw that Lu Buzi was alone, there was no body or head of Cao Cao, and there was no blood on Fang Tian's painted halberd, he knew the result, but he still couldn't help it.

asked.

Lu Bu, who looked ferocious, whispered: "Cao Mengde had an ambush in the mountains and forests. I couldn't pursue him, so I let him escape."

As soon as Lu Bu said these words, Chen Gong and the generals' hearts sank. The sacrifice of tens of thousands of troops and thousands of Bingzhou cavalry resulted in such a result. At this time, the remaining troops around Lu Bu were only these seven or eight thousand.

Bingzhou Iron Cavalry has arrived.

"How is the situation here?" Lu Bu asked in a low voice, looking at Xia Houyuan who was hanging slowly behind him.

Chen Gong frowned slightly: "Cao Mengde doesn't know what kind of reinforcements there are. We only have a few thousand elite cavalry now and are unable to fight with them. Although the cavalry chasing behind is of average strength, if we are entangled by it,

, when Cao Cao’s reinforcements arrive, I’m afraid all the thousands of Bingzhou cavalry will be buried here.”

"But it's not enough to just be hung up by the opponent like this! Our army has experienced fighting and attacks, and its physical strength is exhausted. If this continues, even if it is not exhausted to death, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. I'm afraid the situation will be worse by then." Lu Bu said anxiously.
