"Ride!" Above Xu Province, a huge black dragon was circling around. It was extremely fast as it crossed over the mountains.
The entire earth was trembling!
At the dragon's head, a general wearing a general's armor suddenly waved his hand and the huge dragon stopped in its tracks.
This huge dragon was the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry, known as Cao Jun's most elite Ferocious Leopard Cavalry. The Ferocious Leopard Cavalry only had three thousand people. Every single person who joined the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry was an elite in the army! Even when they came to attack Lü Bu, Lao Cao only brought one thousand five hundred Ferocious Leopard Cavalry.
The remaining one thousand five hundred were left in Yan Province. With them there, Lao Cao could be at ease!
"There's movement in front!" As the commander of the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun's most important skill was his awareness! His awareness allowed him to know when to charge, where there was an ambush, and where the enemy's weak points were!
Therefore, even though he couldn't sense any movement with his naked eyes, Cao Chun still ordered the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry to stop!
Xu Province was a suitable place for growing crops. It could be considered the world's granary. At the same time, its climate was also very suitable for weeds and forests!
One of the biggest nemeses of cavalry was the forest and weeds! Once the cavalry charged in, as long as there was an ambush, they could set fire to the front and back. Hehe, then they would die without a burial ground!
There was movement in the forest ahead. Birds were hovering in the air. Under the wind, the entire forest appeared strange!
"Send a team to investigate!" Cao Chun was Cao Cao's younger brother. It could be said that he had inherited the suspicious nature of the Cao family.
However, being careful on the battlefield was always a good thing!
A group of Ferocious Leopard Cavalry soldiers quickly separated from the main group and advanced towards the forest!
Not long later, someone returned.
"How did they get inside?!" Seeing the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry return so quickly, Cao Chun frowned. Could it be that they didn't investigate carefully? Cao Chun asked.
"Reporting to the general, there is indeed movement inside!" The Ferocious Leopard Cavalry soldier rode over and said.
"Oh?!" They discovered people so quickly.
"But?!" The soldier awkwardly said, "It's not the enemy! It's our army! "
"Our army?!" Cao Chun was puzzled. His lord had only sent out his 1500 Ferocious Cavalry to chase after Lü Bu's troops. How could there be allies?
"It's Guangling's Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong!" A junior colonel came over and said.
"Chen Yuanlong?" After the conquest of Xiapi, Cao Cao did not have the time to reward his subordinates at the White Gate Tower. Therefore, Chen Deng did not have any official position with him.
"Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong?" Traveling from Guangling to Langye was indeed faster than traveling from Xiapi! It was the Lvbu's Army's route to break through the encirclement! Could it be that Lü Bu has already been captured by Chen Yuanlong?
While Cao Chun was thinking, Chen Deng had already brought his men.
The three thousand remnant soldiers arrived before Cao Chun.
"General Cao Chun!" Chen Deng cupped his fists in greeting.
"For Mister Chen Deng to appear here, could it be that he has already encountered the Lvbu's Army?!" Cao Chun looked at Chen Deng's incomplete and dispirited troops and knew that they had already encountered Lü Bu!
Hearing Cao Chun's question, Chen Deng's face turned red. An army of fifteen thousand against less than two thousand remnant soldiers. In the end, they were completely annihilated. If Lü Bu had not let him go, he would not have been able to escape death!
"Deng, Deng is an armchair strategist. That bastard Lü Bu managed to break through the encirclement!"
"Eh?!" The Chen family of Guangling was a famous clan with over ten thousand private soldiers. This time, Chen Deng would definitely not have brought less than ten thousand men with him!
Even an army of over ten thousand men was defeated. Could it be that Lü Bu had a lot of remnant soldiers?!
"May I ask, Mister Chen, how many people does this Lvbu's Army have?!" Cao Chun never fought an unprepared battle. If he did not know the enemy's strength, he would not attack!
"This …" What should Chen Deng say? Should he say that the enemy originally only had two thousand men and that he had given them seven thousand? The enemy now had close to ten thousand men?!
If this got out, Chen Deng would never be able to get rid of the label of incompetence!
Chen Deng was not a liar. He covered up the fact that he had given away seven thousand troops and said, "After the battle with Lü Bu, Deng lost. Lü Bu also has less than ten thousand men left! All of them are infantry! "Chen Deng's words were very accurate. The Lvbu's Army still had one more word left!
There was nothing wrong with his words. The Lvbu's Army originally had less than ten thousand men left. This was true! He had lost. This was also the truth!! Although more than half of these ten thousand men were given away by Chen Deng, why would I say it if you don't ask?! This could also show that Chen Deng had fought a hard battle. He was just not a match for them!
"Less than ten thousand men left? And all of them are infantry?! "Cao Chun's eyes flashed. In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the killer of infantry!
A thousand cavalry could suppress ten thousand infantry and even wipe them out!
Although it was said that Lü Bu's remnant army had the Formation Breaker, the king of infantry.
But don't forget, the Ferocious Cavalry was not normal cavalry. They were heavy cavalry. Their charging power could definitely crush any enemy in front of them. The cost of their armor was not cheap. These three thousand Ferocious Cavalry could support Cao Chun's army of fifty thousand.
It was because of the high cost of heavy armor that Cao Cao's army only had three thousand cavalry!
"Mister Chen Deng, how long has it been since the Lvbu's Army left?!" Cao Chun asked.
"It has been half a day!" Chen Deng replied. From the time they left the battlefield to the time they ran to this forest, they had already spent a few hours.
"Good, then I won't say anymore! Mister Chen Deng, let's meet again in Xiapi! " Cao Chun wanted to leave. A ten thousand infantry that had already fought a battle and were still hungry was just food in Cao Chun's eyes. It was a merit that was delivered to his doorstep!
Xuzhou was a flat land. A cavalry charge could easily take the lives of infantry.
"Wait!" Chen Deng suddenly stopped Cao Chun and asked, "Did General Cao come from Xiapi?!"
"Yes!" Cao Cao was indeed sent from Xiapi by Cao Cao!
"If that's the case, then I would like to ask if General Cao knows anything about my father!" Chen Deng looked at Cao Chun expectantly. He hoped to get information about his father from Cao Chun!
"Eh?!" Cao Chun was stumped by Chen Deng's question. How was he supposed to answer?! Lü Bu broke out of the White Gate Tower and almost killed Cao Cao. Many of the civil and military officials who climbed up the White Gate Tower died on the spot. One of them was Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui!
"Mister Chen, I came in a hurry. As soon as the lord gave the order, I immediately broke camp and gave chase. That's why I don't know anything about Mister Chen! I hope you can forgive me! "Cao Chun could only beat around the bush. He would wait for Chen Deng to reach Xiapi and see for himself!
"Is that so?!" Chen Deng's heart sank. The Chen family of Guangling could be considered as the number one meritorious contributor to Xuzhou. It was impossible for Cao Cao to neglect the father and son. His father would definitely be by Cao Cao's side.
Cao Chun actually said that he didn't know about such a conspicuous location!
Recalling Lü Bu's words, Chen Deng had a bad premonition! Forcefully suppressing his anger, Chen Deng gave an ugly smile and said, "Then Deng wishes General Cao a triumphant return! “
Farewell! "Under Cao Chun's lead, the Ferocious Cavalry gradually walked away.
Chen Deng's face was gloomy. His heart was gloomy.
"Patriarch, where are we going now? Are we going back to Guangling?! "The few remaining family generals asked.
"Guangling?!" Chen Deng sneered, "No, we're not going to Guangling. We're going to Xiapi!"
"Go to Xiapi?!" The family generals were stunned. They were now a defeated army with no morale. Why would they go to Xiapi? They should immediately go back and rest!
"Yes, let's go to Xiapi! Don't you want to see the old patriarch?! "Chen Deng replied.
"We do, we do!" The family generals knew that Chen Deng was currently in a bad mood. Therefore, they didn't ask any more questions. The entire army of three thousand men departed for Xiapi.
"Father, father, you must be well!" Chen Deng bit his lips and clenched his fists. He didn't even notice that his fingernails had scratched his palms.
