It is useless to consider the life and death of others now. All Cao Liang needs to do is to lead this team of more than 200 people to break out of the encirclement. This is the issue that he needs to consider most.

He looked up at the night sky. Fortunately, the weather was clear tonight. Although there was no moon, there were many stars. Cao Liang quickly found the position of Polaris in the sky and determined their current location.

Relying on the sun during the day and the North Star at night has been the simplest and most practical way to identify directions passed down for thousands of years. Cao Liang was fortunate that the weather tonight helped him a lot, otherwise he would probably go around in circles.

It would be really tragic to arrive at the original starting point.

With the North Star pointing the way, everything became much smoother, at least Cao Liang would not get lost.

But what if today is cloudy and rainy?

There is always a Sinan in the army. A Sinan is a dipper-shaped object made of natural magnetite and placed on a smooth plate. The direction is engraved on the plate. The direction can be determined by using the function of the magnet guide.

However, Sinan was bulky and bulky, making it difficult for a single soldier to carry it. There were only a few of them in the entire Southern Conquest Army, and Cao Liang didn't have such a thing at all now.

It seems that after returning to Luoyang this time, I have to find Ma Jun to develop a compact compass that is easy to carry by a single soldier. In this way, if we encounter this kind of situation again, even in extremely bad weather, heavy fog and heavy rain, we will not be able to use it.

Will identify the wrong direction.

Cao Liang's breakout direction was southwest. After determining the north, it was easy to identify the southwest. After taking a short rest, Cao Liang ordered the team to set off and continue to move forward in the southwest direction.

Along the way, fighting along the way, the team's attrition was very serious. When Cao Liang first brought him out, there were more than two hundred people. This did not include the stragglers who had been recruited along the way. After several bloody battles, only

There were about a hundred or so people.

The losses on Yang Hu's side were even more severe. They initially brought out three to four hundred people, but after several battles, only more than a hundred were left. Especially in the last battle, the entire army was almost destroyed.

Cao Liang rescued them in time, but they still lost nearly a hundred people in that battle.

Such a tragic casualty ratio made Cao Liang sigh sadly. Yesterday, these lost lives may have greeted each other with smiles, or they may have eaten in a marching pot, but today and tonight, they are all lying in the cold.

The earth is stained with blood in a foreign land.

The team led by Cao Liang now has a survival rate of less than 3 out of 10. So how many more of the entire team of 30,000 people can Cao Liang still survive now?

The Xiaoqi camp is what Cao Liang is most concerned about, and he doesn’t know what is going on with Wen Qin, Deng Ai, Shibao and the others. The Xiaoqi camp is full of people and horses, and it is very noisy. It will inevitably attract a heavy encirclement and suppression by the Wu army. I hope they can have a strong impact.

It can break through the Wu army's heavy siege and fight its way out.

The battlefield is undoubtedly the greatest training for people. Yang Hu and Du Yu have not yet reached the top. If they hang out in Luoyang City, they will be a young and frivolous family man with light fur. Now that they have experienced this battlefield of blood and fire, they have already

His childishness was gone, his body was covered in blood, but his eyes were as firm as iron.

Maybe they felt sick and uncomfortable when they killed the first enemy, but when they cut down the whole way, they felt passionate and passionate. Only those who have experienced life and death know how precious life is. If you don't want to fall on the battlefield,

Then you must make your enemy fall. This is the law of the battlefield.

A battle can change a person's concept, make a weak person strong, make a timid person fearless, and make a person grow up quickly.

Because this battle may allow Yang Hu and Du Yu to start their journey to become famous generals earlier and go further.

Going forward, Cao Liang was obviously lucky and did not encounter another ambush by the Wu army. Although he still encountered several Wu army troops along the way, the Wu army lit the torch and completely exposed himself. Cao Liang could only

You need to avoid them to avoid fighting.

This place already belongs to the outer area, and the shouts of killing have gradually calmed down. The troops stationed by the Wu army seemed to be a little lax. They only stationed on some avenues and passes, blocking the traffic arteries, and did not launch a carpet-like search.

.

This undoubtedly provided convenience for Cao Liang's breakout, but there was no way to go on the main road. Cao Liang could only lead the team to advance on the small road in a roundabout way. Sometimes there was even no road, so he could only go up the thorny hillside.

To get there, you can only wade through streams and rivers.

Fortunately, this area does not have steep and rugged mountain peaks, nor wide and rapid rivers. The hills here are relatively low and gentle. Although there are some ups and downs, they are not steep. The rivers are mostly tributaries of the Huaihe River.

The water was not deep enough to reach the top, so when it came to crossing a river, the Wei army only had to cross it.

After a long night's journey, by dawn, Cao Liang and his party had arrived at a place about twenty miles away from the starting point. At this time, the number of Wu troops that could be seen was getting smaller and smaller. Cao Liang expected that they were far away from each other.

The siege is not far away.

At this time, the more vigilant we should be. It was already dawning in the east, and morning fog was spreading in the forest. The heavy fog affected their direction of travel and also affected their sight.

At this time, Wu Jun no longer needed to light torches for lighting, so it was already difficult for Cao Liang to spot Wu Jun from a distance. He could only see if there was anyone on the other side by walking a few dozen feet closer.

This is undoubtedly very dangerous, because once the other party is discovered at such a close distance, the other party will definitely be able to discover itself, and a hand-to-hand battle will be inevitable.

If the opponent is just a small-scale Wu army, there is nothing to worry about. Just kill them and disperse them. But if you encounter a large Wu army, the situation will become very bad.

Cao Liang was secretly glad that Wu Jun was helping them "light up" along the way, so they had the opportunity to get here. It seemed that the enemy's stupidity was really a big help to them.

Now that it was dawn, this advantage was gone, and Cao Liang needed to be even more careful. He ordered the team not to make any noise or whisper to each other. Even the footsteps should be as soft as possible and not to make any sound to avoid alerting the sudden appearance.

of enemies.

Cao Liang pricked up his ears and listened carefully to all the movements around him. At this time, it was especially important to detect the enemy in advance. Although the thick fog was the biggest protective umbrella, he could avoid the enemy's attack.
