Although Zhuge Jin's death will not cause the Wu army to collapse into chaos, it is impossible to say that it will not be affected at all. After all, Zhuge Jin is the most numerous among the four armies of the Wu army. His sudden death has a profound impact on this group of troops.

There will still be many problems with command.

Therefore, before Wu Jun reestablishes the command of this army, Wu Jun's command will inevitably be temporarily paralyzed, and the group will be leaderless. Naturally, it will not cause any harm to the Wei army that has broken out. It will definitely be safer to stay here for a short time.

Moreover, this is the rendezvous point agreed by the Wei army. All troops that break out of the encirclement will rush here to rendezvous if nothing unexpected happens.

Xiahou Xuan was seriously injured and unable to take action, so the military affairs were temporarily handled by Ren Lan and Cao Liang. They directed the remaining troops to rest where they were, eat some solid food, and replenish and restore their physical strength.

After waiting for more than an hour, as expected, the Wei troops who had broken out of the encirclement arrived one after another. Each team had as few as thirty or fifty men and as many as four or five hundred men. They were all wounded and exhausted.

Being able to break out of the enemy's encirclement is already a blessing. Compared with those companions who died on the way to break out, a little injury and pain are nothing. Here, life is the most precious.

Although each team has a small number of people, when dozens and hundreds of people gather together, there are thousands of people. This undoubtedly makes Xia Houxuan feel gratified. At least the whole army was not destroyed, and there were still many teams in the end.

It stood out.

But the more people returned, the worse Cao Liang's expression became, because among this group of people, Cao Liang never found Xiaoqiying, let alone the generals of Xiaoqiying, Wen Qin, Qianhong, and Liu Jing.

, Cao Liang didn’t even see any ordinary soldiers in Xiaoqi Camp.

Could it be that their entire army was really wiped out?

Cao Liang felt a sense of ominousness in his heart. Although the Xiaoqi Battalion's combat effectiveness was strong, it was greatly reduced in the dark. Because the Xiaoqi Battalion's targets were moving and making a lot of noise, they would definitely be encircled and suppressed by the main force of the Wu Army. Both sides

It's hard to beat four hands with a fist, so the possibility of Xiaoqiying's defeat is extremely high.

This is the scene that Cao Liang least wants to see. Xiaoqiying is the treasure of Cao family and his son. It is the vanguard weapon that Cao Liang will rely on to deal with Sima family in the future. If the entire division is lost in the battle of Huainan, then Cao Liang's

The losses are truly enormous.

Seeing that the shadows of the sun were getting shorter, but there was still no one or one horse in the Xiaoqi camp, Cao Liang sat down on a needle felt, feeling worried.

Yang Hu saw Cao Liang frowning and stepped forward and said, "Now that we have escaped from danger, why is brother Ziming still frowning and worried?"

Cao Liang sighed and said: "There is no one in the Xiaoqi camp so far. I wonder if they are in danger?"

Yang Hu said: "The Xiaoqi camp's combat power is unparalleled in the world. With the strength of the Wu army, it is difficult to stop them. Maybe they are delayed because of something. Anyway, I don't believe that their entire army will be destroyed."

Just as they were talking, they heard rumbling thunder from the northwest. Everyone was wondering, how could there be thunder in such a dark sky? Has the world really changed?

Just as I was wondering, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves coming from the northwest, and yellow dust and smoke could be faintly seen flying into the sky.

Cao Liang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The Wu army did not have any organized cavalry, and the Wei army only had this one, so when so many cavalry appeared, Cao Liang was already sure that it was the Xiaoqi camp.

Judging from the situation, Xiaoqi Camp's losses may not be too great, but now Cao Liang is not worried about the amount of losses. The key is that Wen Qin, Deng Ai, Shibao and others are safe and sound.

Soon, the Xiaoqi Battalion appeared in front of Cao Liang. Cao Liang discovered that there were not only cavalry but also a large number of infantry in the team. The number of people and horses was spectacular.

Wen Qin, Qian Hong, and Liu Jing were all in the army. The three of them came forward and first paid homage to Xia Houxuan, and then came to Cao Liang's side.

Cao Liang was already with Deng Ai Shibao at this moment. Cao Liang couldn't wait to ask about the battle situation and losses of the Xiaoqi camp.

Deng Ai stuttered and spoke awkwardly, and Shi Bao basically told him.

Contrary to Cao Liang's imagination, Xiaoqi Camp did not suffer heavy losses in this battle. More than 3,000 men only lost a hundred or so cavalry. It was simply a miracle.

"How is it possible? You fought all night, and why did you only lose a hundred or ten people?" Cao Liang asked in surprise.

Shi Bao said: "The Xiaoqi camp is unstoppable. If it hadn't been dark and the road was difficult to travel, these hundred or so people would have suffered a lot."

During the conversation with Shi Bao and Deng Ai, Cao Liang had a general understanding of the battle situation in the Xiaoqi camp last night.

Like other troops, the Xiaoqi Battalion was also responsible for breaking out of the encirclement. However, after the battle began, the Xiaoqi Battalion was invincible. Even though there were many people chasing and intercepting the Wu army, it was unable to pose a substantial threat to the Xiaoqi Battalion.

threaten.

This is indeed a miracle. The torrent of iron cavalry from the Xiaoqi Battalion almost made Wu Jun's defense line useless. The Xiaoqi Battalion rampaged along the road, smashing into pieces the team that Wu Jun tried to intercept, killing countless people along the way.

By midnight, the Xiaoqi battalion broke out of the Wu army's encirclement.

Originally, Wu Jun thought that the darkness would cause some trouble to the Wei cavalry, but in fact, the Xiaoqi battalion was hardly affected. On the contrary, Wu Jun, because of the darkness, the archers performed so poorly that they could not even find the target.

The attack is greatly reduced.

The Xiaoqi camp rushed out with overwhelming force. After Wen Qin broke through the encirclement, he found that the other troops did not break out at all, especially the general Xia Houxuan and Cao Liang who joined the army were nowhere to be seen. So Wen Qin gave the order and the Xiaoqi camp

They turned back and searched for the whereabouts of Xia Houxuan and Cao Liang along the way.

However, the battlefield was huge and it was dark. The Xiaoqi camp searched all the way but failed to encounter Xiahou Xuan and Cao Liang. Instead, they helped many Wei troops who were besieged by the Wu army and took them out of the Wu army's encirclement.

Although the Wu army has a large number, it is surrounded on all sides, so its strength is limited. In addition, the Xiaoqi camp itself is a sharp knife that can easily tear apart the enemy's formation. Therefore, the Xiaoqi camp galloped back and forth, killing many people overnight.

After advancing three times and coming out three times, Wu Jun took the initiative to avoid them and did not dare to fight with them. That night, countless Wu soldiers died under the hooves of Xiaoqi Camp's horses.

The number of Wei infantry that was successfully rescued by the Xiaoqi Battalion from the encirclement was as many as seven or eight thousand. Because of the existence of the Xiaoqi Battalion, these troops that had to go through bloody battles to break out of the encirclement were actually able to retreat as a whole.
