Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

A red sun is slowly rising from the sky.

On a small road, Cao Ren led his soldiers and continued to flee north, nearly an hour had passed.

Cao Ren saw that his men were sleepy and tired, so he immediately had to give an order to let everyone stop and rest.

Sergeant Cao was already tired and hungry, almost on the verge of collapse, when they heard Cao Ren's order, and one by one they suddenly collapsed on the ground like mud.

Jiang Ji sat down against a tree and said with a sigh: "The morale of the soldiers is completely low, if the enemy soldiers catch up, how can we resist it?"

Cao Ren also sighed and said, "Let's talk about it when Zilian comes, I don't know where the enemy has chased it." "

After a short pause, a crisp sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind.

Cao Ren looked up, but it was Cao Hong, who was in charge of the palace, with more than a dozen troops, rushing here.

"Zilian, what's the situation?" Cao Ren hurriedly asked.

"They numbered more than five thousand, they were moving slowly, they didn't seem to be in a hurry, they were eating dry food as they went, but they were still a dozen miles away from us, and now we were safe. Cao Hong had a smile on his face.

If it were him, he would have had such a good opportunity, and he would have been chasing him non-stop, where would he let his subordinates advance so slowly.

Where is this chasing, it's clearly a walk!

However, after Cao Ren and Jiang Ji heard this, their faces became even more ugly.

Jiang Ji sighed and said, "The other party is very smart, in this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape?"

Cao Hong said strangely: "Why did Mr. Zitong say this? The other party's speed is so slow, doesn't it just give us a chance to breathe?"

Jiang Ji said with a wry smile: "We are now sleepy and tired, and the soldiers are all hungry. The important thing is that we don't have food now, and the other side has dry food, they just need to follow us unhurriedly, and it will be us who collapse. "

Cao Jun's current situation is even more miserable than Pang Tong expected.

When Sergeant Cao fled before, he didn't bring any dry food with him, and he was afraid that the grain and grass would have been burned by the fire a long time ago.

Now they are in the wilderness, they can't even see a figure around, and it is winter, Cao Ren can't find wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.

In this case, escaping is a constant drain on physical strength, and the soldiers can't hold on for long.

Hearing Jiang Ji say this, Cao Hong also understood, realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zitong, what should we do now?"

Jiang Ji looked at Cao Ren and asked, "It depends on how General Zixiao decides." "

Cao Ren took a deep breath, there was indeed a path in front of him now, and that was to abandon the large army and let them attract the attention of the pursuing army.

He took a small number of soldiers and fled from the other direction, so that he had a good chance of escaping the pursuit of the enemy.

The enemy's pursuers are so difficult to deal with, and they continue to flee with these hungry and tired soldiers, and the final result may be that Cao Ren himself can't escape.

As for finding a place to ambush and give the pursuing army a blow to the head, Cao Ren didn't think about it.

However, let's not talk about the morale of the soldiers, just look at how tired and hungry they are, even if the ambush is really successful, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of those pursuing the army.

At the moment of life and death, you must learn how to break your wrist by a strong man.

However, these soldiers were trained by Cao Ren himself, and he abandoned them like this, and Cao Ren felt a little unbearable in his heart.

"Let's talk a little bit further. Cao Ren sighed, he didn't want to give up his men until the last moment.

"I hope the general will make a decision as soon as possible!" Jiang Ji sighed, stopped talking, and seized the time to rest, hoping to recover some more physical strength.

Cao Hong rested for a while, and immediately took the dozen or so cavalrymen to inquire about the news.

About two quarters of an hour later, Cao Hong hurried back to report: "Brother Zixiao, the enemy's pursuers seem to have picked up their speed, and they are only a few miles away from us, so we must hurry up and continue to advance!"

"It's really hateful! Order the army and continue to move forward!" Cao Ren scolded in his heart, but it was worth turning over and continuing to flee for his life to the north.

After this period of repair, these Cao soldiers regained some physical strength, barely able to support them, and fled with Cao Ren for another distance.

But there were also some soldiers who were so tired that they couldn't walk, and even lost their physical strength, so they fell directly to the ground, and finally watched the army leave with a blank expression.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Jue led the army to kill, and those stranded Cao soldiers were quickly discovered by them.

Liu Jue ordered the army to stop and let these Cao soldiers arrest.

These soldiers of the Cao army look quite tough, they should all be veterans who have been through battles, but at the moment they are weak, and their faces are full of despair.

Liu Jue smiled and said to Gan Ning and Pang Tong: "It seems that the situation of Cao Jun is far worse than we thought, Cao Ren should have just walked not far, and he left in a hurry, and even his own soldiers were left behind." "

Gan Ning immediately said: "Young General, let's continue the pursuit, we will definitely be able to capture Cao Ren alive." "

Liu Jue smiled and said: "Don't worry, since Cao Ren has the kung fu to rest, we should also rest for a while, and when you soldiers are here to repair for a while." "

"Then what should these Cao soldiers do?" Gan Ning said, his hand already gripping the hilt of the knife.

"Forget it, dozens of remnants of the army are defeated, there is no need to kill them all, let them fend for themselves here. Liu Jue shook his head, if he was on the battlefield, he would definitely be ruthless.

"What the major general said is that these people have no combat effectiveness, and there is no need to kill people indiscriminately. Pang Tong agreed with Liu Jue's words.

Gan Ning had no choice but to take the order and let his subordinates gather these Cao troops together and keep them under strict control.

After trimming for a while, Liu Jue led the army to continue to chase north, like an experienced hunter, chasing and killing his prey, which had been exhausted.

No matter how the prey escapes, it can't escape the palm of the hunter.
