The Wei army's camp and the way to escape were piled with various supplies and large livestock, so naturally they were not thrown away randomly.

The Wei army fled north, and it was certain that they could no longer retain their baggage.

Since it cannot be retained, it must be destroyed directly to avoid endangering the enemy.

Or use them to block the pursuing enemy and attract their attention.

Grain is easy to burn, but how do you destroy livestock?

Moreover, if you burn the grain, it will definitely alert the Wu army. It is better to use it directly to block the way and buy time for the army to retreat.

Large livestock are precious items, and they will run away when frightened. Wu Jun must have spent a lot of effort to collect them.

Therefore, Zhu Huan finally cleared the road and could continue to lead his people to the north.

Encountering many defeated Wei troops along the way, Zhu Huan just ordered people to disperse them and not block his own way.

These defeated troops no longer posed any threat. All he had to do was catch up with the main force of the Wei army that had escaped.

As for gathering the defeated troops, someone will do it later.

"General, there is thick smoke ahead!"

Zhu Huan looked up and saw thick smoke floating in the air, and there were more than one place.

"No, this must be Cao Cao's thief trying to block our pursuit again! Send the order, speed up!"

Zhu Huan immediately understood what Cao Cao was thinking.

"General, if there is an ambush ahead of the thieves..."

"Impossible! It's too late for Cao Cao to escape now, how dare he stay?" Zhu Huan said decisively, "It's just to use fire to stop the pursuers!"

At the same time, he quickly sent people to investigate, and it turned out that the Cao thieves were burning food in front and trying to block the road with fire.

When Zhu Huan heard this, he hurriedly drove his troops to where Cao Cao's thieves were burning food and asked people to get water to put out the fire.

It seems that Cao Cao didn't want to burn food in the camp, but he didn't have time to burn it, which gave him a big advantage.

This fire may have bought Cao Cao some time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Huan became even more anxious.

"Follow up quickly, don't fall behind! As long as we can catch up with the thief chieftain Cao Xiu, that will be our first success!"

Although the autumn wind blew and the weather began to turn cooler, everyone in the Wu army who was rushing to pursue them was full of steam and ran forward desperately. No one wanted to take a look at the surrendered Wei soldiers sitting or lying on the roadside.

"If according to what Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) said, an ambush was set up at the stone bridge and the trailer early, would Cao Xiu'an have a way out?"

After a small victory in Wancheng in the first battle and a huge victory in Shiting in the second battle, Sun Quan couldn't wait to come to Lu Xun's central army. He was extremely happy when he saw the huge supplies captured by the army.

At the same time, he remembered that Cao Xiu's army had fled north, and he said something with regret.

Lu Xun shook his head, "Your Majesty, if Xiu Mu leads ten thousand people to set up an ambush with rocks and trailers, I'm afraid Cao Xiu may not come in."

From Wancheng to Shiting, then to Jiashi and trailer, it is a pocket-shaped terrain.

The stone clip and the trailer are the mouth of the bag.

If Cao Xiu found that the rope had been tied at the mouth of the pocket early, how could he rush in?

The experience of Wu Qiangkou's ambush has shown everything. Cao's thieves are not without capable people.

Even after entering, Cao Xiu set up an ambush in Shiting just in case.

It also shows that he is not a useless person.

If you want to show weakness to the enemy, you cannot expose your strength prematurely.

Lu Xun was very thoughtful and liked to plan first and then act in military matters. Even when Cao Xiu had already arrived at Shiting, he still used the tactic of showing weakness to lure the enemy, just to be careful.

Zhu Huan's plan was too risky, and it would risk alerting Cao Xiu in advance, making Cao Xiu afraid of leading his army deeper, so he was naturally unwilling to use it.

Sun Quan naturally knew this, but seeing such a good situation, if he could block the Cao Wei army, not only Hefei, but even Shouchun could fall into his hands. If he said he was not tempted, it would be a lie.

That's why he couldn't help but say such a sentence.

"It's just that I'm greedy." Sun Quan smiled a little self-consciously, "I just hope that Xiumu will not let the thief escape."

"We can't run anymore, they can't run anymore, they're right in front, hurry up, keep up!"

Zhu Huan was overjoyed and shouted loudly as he saw numerous figures in front of him.

The Cao thieves who fled in front actually organized a counterattack with the school lieutenant. Zhu Huan took the lead and rushed over, defeating this small group of troops at the rear with great ease.

"kill!"

Zhu Huan had just led his men through a mountain forest when suddenly shouts of killing began from both sides. He saw a Wei general guarding the intersection on horseback in front of him. He pointed a knife at Zhu Huan and shouted in a stern voice, "Wu Lu! You are forcing me too much, and I am going to fall!"

"

Zhu Huan was shocked. He could only hear the shouts of killing in the mountains and forests on both sides. When he saw the many flags in the forest, he felt a thump in his heart, "Oh no, I was only focused on chasing, but I forgot about this!"

At that moment, he quickly turned his horse's head, and before the Wei army encircled him, he led all the soldiers to retreat three miles to observe the enemy's situation.

At this moment, Quan Cong led the rear army and caught up.

"Why did General Zhu look back?"

Quan Cong saw Zhu Huan's flag was a little confused, and his heart tightened. He thought something had happened, so he hurriedly approached him and asked.

Zhu Huan explained the situation. Quan Cong looked at the direction where Zhu Huan was ambushed and said, "The Cao thief is not being pursued. Could it be that he is deceiving?"

However, after chasing all the way, the soldiers were also exhausted, so the whole army had to rest first and at the same time send scouts to investigate.

After a while, the scout came back and said that Cao's thieves had withdrawn and many flags had been abandoned in the forest.

"The thief Cao must be doubting the truth!"

When Zhu Huan was reminded by Quan Cong, he already had suspicions in his heart. Now when he heard what the scout said, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. He stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Thief Cao is cunning!"

After saying that, he was about to lead the army to pursue again, but Quan Cong stopped him, "General Zhu has routed the troops along the way to clear the road, and has to chase the thieves again. The soldiers are probably tired. This time, let me lead the troops first. General Zhu

Just follow behind and provide support."

Zhu Huan was unwilling at first, but when he saw that his soldiers had not finished resting and knew that Quan Cong was telling the truth, he had no choice but to agree.

This time it was Quan Cong who led the way.

When he pursued him to a dangerous place, he saw another Wei general blocking the way ahead, "Wu Lu still doesn't want to give up? After falling into the trap once, he actually dares to be so careless again."

Quan Cong was furious, "Cao Cao, how can you repeat this plan again and again?"

After saying that, he led the Wu army to charge forward.

Sure enough, I heard shouting again from the mountains on both sides.

"Don't be afraid! The Cao thieves have already fled. Can An set up an ambush?"

Quan Cong shouted loudly.

Unexpectedly, this time, many Wei troops emerged from the mountains on both sides. A burst of arrows rained down, and the Wu troops were caught off guard. A large number fell down on the spot, and they kept wailing.

"Erect shield! Array!"

Quan Cong was shocked and quickly ordered.

It's just that the Wu army pursued many things and captured many prisoners. Everyone thought that Cao's thieves were unable to fight anymore. In order to catch up with Cao's thieves, they all moved forward with light troops. How could there be any big shields that could block the rain of arrows?

The second wave of arrows quickly came down, and the Wu army howled again.

"withdraw!"

Quan Cong gritted his teeth and immediately turned his horse's head, intending to retreat.

As soon as the Wei general saw that the Wu army was about to run away, he laughed loudly and said, "In front of General Zhu Ling, the Empress of Wei, do Wu thieves still want to escape?"

Immediately the drums were beaten, and the Wei army began to surround him on three sides.

Wu's army marched in a hurry, while Wei's army was waiting for work. In addition, due to the favorable geographical location, Wu's army was attacked from three sides and could not stop it, so it suddenly became chaotic.

Quan Cong rushed left and right, but was unable to break through the encirclement. Seeing this going on, he was afraid that the entire army would be annihilated.

At that moment, he shouted repeatedly, "Stand in formation and wait for help!"

Then he turned his horse's head again, turned around and charged forward, killing several Wei soldiers in a row.

"Don't be arrogant, leader of thieves!" A Wei general rushed forward and grabbed Quan Cong, "Come and die quickly!"

"Who are you?"

"That's General Jianwu Wang Ling!"

Wang Ling entangled Quan Cong, making it impossible for him to escape, while Zhu Ling commanded three Wei armies to strangle him in turn.

Without a commander-in-chief, the Wu army was unable to organize a powerful counterattack. Seeing the encirclement shrinking, Wu soldiers fell one after another.

Quan Cong's eyes were red, but his opponent's martial arts skills were not weak, so he couldn't escape. With both sides distracted, his moves became more and more scattered.

Wang Ling gradually gained the upper hand and began to persuade him to surrender, "General, why didn't you surrender earlier?"

When Quan Cong heard this, he shouted angrily, "How dare Cao Zeian bully me?"

He knew in his heart that if he continued like this, he would either lose his strength and die, or lose his strength and miss and be captured.
To be continued...
