Poor Ghost Up and Down 2000

Chapter 343: So the same thing can't be used twice

The scout thought for a while before speaking slowly.

"The drums were beating in the army, like the sound of chariots and horses. There were also soldiers singing loudly, and their morale was high. However, the army was located on a high terrain, so I couldn't see the appearance of the army. I could only see the dense footsteps outside. The army is huge."

Speaking of this, he also had some hesitation. Scouts usually judge the number of people based on the size of the army formation. However, although the formation of that army formation is large, but the sound of war drums and singing are removed, the momentum is stronger than ten thousand soldiers. It's a lot smaller than that.

"Drums and singing." Li Ru stood for a while, then sat down again and said.

"It's just a bluff, General, you can stand still first, and then order the scouts to investigate."

"Not moving?" Lu Bu was taken aback. According to what he saw, since this army was the first army of the princes, it should be cleared up, otherwise it would be troublesome if they found out the situation in the mountains and forests.

After destroying this first army, even if the princes know that there is an ambush in the forest, they must come if they want to continue chasing, otherwise they will stop chasing.Aren't they here just to make an example to others?It also saved them from sending troops to fight.

Secondly, Lu Bu looked at the bloody white cloth wrapped around his shoulders with complicated eyes. He was caught off guard last time, and he was exhausted after fighting several times.

This time he wants to return it.

In addition, I didn't ask the person's name last time, so I asked by the way this time.Knowing the danger and daring to go alone, this person deserves his name.

He moved his shoulder, and there was a stabbing pain in his shoulder, which made Lu Bu frowned. This injury really got in the way.

"General, if you want to fight that general again, you have to wait for a while. This time, the army of the princes may also be divided into light and dark."

Li Ru sat at the table, looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.

"This army is supposed to be the Ming army, pretending to be powerful to attract us to pursue it, but the main army should not be there. Presumably the princes are weak and want to bypass Xingyang but are afraid of an ambush, so they did so."

Lu Bu turned his head and saw the smile on Li Ru's face, with a little disgust on his face. He didn't like these people who played tricks.

But disgust doesn't mean he doesn't understand, he pondered for a moment and said.

"You mean, they deliberately attract attention in the open so that the remaining army in the dark can bypass Xingyang?"

Lu Bu circulated his inner breath to his shoulders, and there was a tingling numbness in his shoulders, but the pain was relieved a lot.

"But in this case, if I wait to intercept, wouldn't the nearly ten thousand troops come and go?"

"Yes, but this army probably doesn't have nearly ten thousand troops. The general still remembers the formation that this general and General Hua Xiong used, it must be this formation. The number of soldiers and horses in this army is only a few thousand. "

Li Ru smiled slightly, and then there was a look of admiration on his face.

"This female Prime Minister is really courageous. In order to seek the overall situation, she counts herself as one of the sons. How many men in the world can compare with this kind of courage?"

He thought for a while, then looked at Lu Bu and asked, "General, have you seen this person before, is this person really a woman?"

He had never seen such a woman.

Lu Bu was taken aback by Li Ru's question, recalled the situation in the army, and didn't reply for a while.

After a while, he said.

"It's a woman, but there is no distinction between men and women in battle."

Li Ru saw Lu Bu's expression in his eyes, smiled, and looked outside the tent: "It seems that he is really a peerless person."

Lu Bu didn't discuss the matter with Li Ru any more, but said to the scout kneeling in the hall.

"Order people to go to the mountains and forests to check whether there are other army formations passing by, and report quickly if there are any."

"Yes." The scout retreated in response.

······

There are dense figures in the mountains and forests. Because of the cover of the forest, we can't see anything and don't know the number. We can only vaguely see one figure after another passing by.

Cao Cao did not march in an army formation, but lined up in a straight line across the path between the mountains and forests.

It is inconvenient for the army to move among the mountains and forests, and it is too powerful to be noticed.The horses were a little restless walking on the path between the trees, and the soldiers passing one after another made the bushes in the forest sway.

In the distance of the army formation, the sound of horseshoes passing through the forest was quickly covered by the sound of footsteps in the distance, and no one heard the strange sound in the distance.

A scout stood in the forest and looked at the army on the path in the distance, pulled the rein and got on his horse and left.

A simple map from the scouts was delivered to Lu Bu. After a few glances, Lu Bu handed the sketch to Li Ru.

"As you expected, there are still remaining troops."

Li Ru took over the sketch, because there was still an army marching in the middle and lower part of Xingyang.

"Do you know how many soldiers there are?"

The scout shook his head: "The forest is dense, and the army has no formation. They march straight in a file, and the number of people can't be seen clearly. But people are walking one after another, and there are quite a few people."

There seemed to be some doubts in Li Ru's eyes, but he pressed it in the end.

The road on the side of Xingyang is not long, if you hesitate for a moment, you may miss the military plane, and if you continue to explore, you may be delayed.

Putting down the map, Li Ru raised his head.

"General, you can go out."

······

Cao Cao walked the road in Xingyang with Xiaoqi's drawing in his hand before the army formation.

If there are no variables, you can walk through this mountain forest in two hours, and you will be with each other after Xingyang.

At this time, the forest was quiet, except for the footsteps behind him, there was no other sound.

The black horse under him shook its neck for some reason, and retreated a few steps, almost causing Cao Cao to fall off the horse.

Put away the map, patted on the horse's mane, and continued to urge the horse to walk forward.

Going a little further is a mountain pass. After that, the mountain forest beside the road will be much sparser, and it will be difficult to covertly march there.

Cao Cao turned sideways and said to Cao Hong: "Order to go down, be careful after the entrance of the valley."

"Yes." Cao Hong didn't look carefree like he usually does during the war, so he clasped his fists and went down to give orders.

The mountain pass was getting closer and closer, Cao Cao frowned. The disparity in strength between the two armies, as long as there was a slight mistake, the entire army would be wiped out.

An army formation stood on the high ground on both sides outside the mountain pass. From a distance, they couldn't see anything clearly, but there seemed to be something among the trees on the mountain.

Only when you walk in can you see countless soldiers in armor, all looking like they are preparing for battle.From a rough look, there may be no less than tens of thousands of people, almost covering the side of the mountain.

There was no sound among the people, only the shallow breathing of people, and the sound of grass leaves and branches being trampled away under their feet.
