Chapter 78

As the momentum of the cavalry attack passed, a loud roar came from the Cao army's array: "Push!"

Hundreds of people shouted in unison, carrying shields and pushing forward with the enemy cavalry.

Many Zhang Xiujun and his men and horses were overthrown to the ground.

Hundreds of Cao's troops wield their long spears while advancing and stabbed their enemies and war horses.

"Young Master, their infantry is here!" Cai Ji pointed to the distance.

A dark crowd appeared at the end of the white horizon.

From a distance, I don’t know how many people have come.

"Retreat." Cao Shuo shouted.

Cai Ji raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Young master has an order, the whole army will retreat!"

The order was issued, and Cao's army retreated without fighting.

Zhang Xiujun, who was pressed and beaten, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they wanted to pursue, they found that in a charge, the three or four hundred cavalrymen lost two or three hundred war horses!

The cavalry without war horses are far less combat power than infantry.

On the snow stained with blood, many war horses and human corpses were lying everywhere.

Some injured Zhang Xiujun lies in the deep snow nest and wails in pain, waiting for his companions to rescue.

It was not until this time that Zhang Xiu realized that the Cao army launched a counterattack, but the target was not the human, but their war horses!

The loss of the cavalry would not pose any threat to Cao Shuo.

As Cao's army retreated, Zhang Xiu's face turned pale.

"General, what should I do?" asked the deputy general who was fighting with him.

"Chief off the road to Wuyin and cut off Cao Zirong's return!" Zhang Xiu said gritting his teeth.

The deputy general was about to leave when a fast horse came from a distance.

When he arrived in front of Zhang Xiu, the cavalry said panting: "General, it's not good! Cao Cao led his troops out of the city, and our army was defeated and he broke through!"

When Zhang Xiu learned that Cao Cao had broken through the siege, he felt annoyed.

He punched his thigh hard, and he roared: "Send the order to seal Cao Zirong's way back to Xudu, I want him to die!"

Lead the troops eastward until dark.

It took two days to fall and the snow gradually became lighter.

Cao Shuo took two small snowflakes: "The snow is about to stop."

"It snows for two more days, and the road is impossible to walk." Wei Tu, who was following him, said.

"It will snow for two more days, so we will be able to leave." Cao Shuo said: "The snow is too thick, and it is even more difficult for us to go and the enemy to pursue. The heavy snow will quickly cover our footprints and make them have no trace. Now, people will touch the door every step they take."

Wei Tu was stunned: "What should I do?"

"I guess my father has left Wuyin." Cao Shuo said: "If you send an order, turn around immediately, and find a place to camp in the middle of the night!"

The soldiers then changed direction.

Cao Shu asked Qin Nu, "Are you cold?"

Qin Nu shook his head.

"You have got Hu Cheer's head. Should I ask me to get something tonight?" he asked silly.

"What do you want to do?" Qin Nu immediately became alert.

After blinking twice, Cao Shu said, "I have fulfilled my promise, but you have not fulfilled your promise yet!"

Qin Nu asked, "What have I promised?"

Getting closer, Cao Shu hugged her waist unhonestly: "The promised thing is not to be fooled. The snow and the clear night are the best time to be lingering and ecstatic!"

"Hand away! So many people are watching." Qin Nu's cheeks turned red inadvertently when he pushed away his hand.

She just reminded many people to watch, and Cao Shu suddenly realized that there must be a chance tonight!

"That's right!" He grinned: "If you want to hug me, you have to wait until you set up a camp and hug me in the quilt!"

"No serious!" Qin Nu rolled his eyes: "I can't forget that thing even in war."

Based on Cao Shuo's temper, he should have teased Qin Nu a few more words at this time.

He was worried that he would tease too much and ruin the good things that were about to happen. Cao Shuo smiled and said nothing.

"It's so thief!" Qin Nu rolled his eyes and turned his red face to the side.

"I can't laugh if there is something good?" Cao Shuo said, "Can you let me cry into the tent?"

"Dare to enter my tent, be careful not to show mercy!" Qin Nu snorted.

Although she was speaking ruthlessly, her voice was very light.

Cao Shu grinned, and his heart was clear.

When the camp is set up, Qin Nu will definitely change from a girl to a sister Cao!

After walking on the snow for more than two hours, I saw that the snow had completely stopped in the middle of the night.

With the reflection of the snow, Cao Shu saw a small hill not far away.

He pointed to the hillside: "Stop on the mountain tonight."

Hundreds of people turned to the hill.

From a distance, I looked at the white hillside, but when I got in front of me, I found that there were dense forests.

After three consecutive days of snow, the branches were bent down by the snow.

The gap between trees is very small, and the foot of the mountain is fine. If you go up a little, you can't see where the road is.

After observing the situation nearby, Cao Shu found that although the hillside was not steep, it was covered with snow and could not tell where there was a pit in the field.

"You guys cut down some branches to make sticks." He ordered several Cao soldiers: "Bump the ground and open the way forward."

Six Cao soldiers ran forward, each cutting down a branch and quickly peeling it into a stick, poking the snow and walking in front.

"Tell the people behind and follow their footprints." Cao Shu ordered: "Walk at the end and smooth the footprints."

The hillside is not steep, but there is thick snow on the ground, and there are trees along the way, so it is impossible for war horses to pass through it.

Cao Shu and others and more than a hundred cavalrymen could only dismount and walk.

On the way up the mountain, Qin Nu said: "The people behind him wiped their footprints evenly, so Zhang Xiu could find us. So isn't it unnecessary?"

"How can it be an extravagant move?" Cao Shu said: "Although Zhang Xiu found this place, there was snow everywhere, and it was cold and the snow would not completely melt without seven or eight days. Although the footprints were not thoroughly erased, they couldn't tell which road we were going up the mountain. There were inevitably depressions on the hillside. If they accidentally fell into the snow pit and died when they went up the mountain, wouldn't it save us from killing a few more people?"

"Do you think killing is enjoyable?" Qin Nu asked.

"I'm not a butcher, how can I enjoy it?" Cao Shu said: "I don't want to kill anyone who shouldn't be killed. I don't want to kill anyone who should be killed. The process of killing them can really make me feel very comfortable."

Qin Nu said: "I have never been serious all day long, and no one would think of you as calm as you kill someone!"

"Will killing too many people be a sin?" Cao Shu asked with a grin.

"I don't know." Qin Nu said lightly: "I live just to kill people."

"We have committed a lot of evil." Cao Shuo said: "I think it's better to accumulate more virtue from now on."

"There is still accumulating virtue?" Qin Nu asked in a daze.

"We have killed so many people, so we have to make up for it."

"How do you plan to make up for it?"

Cao Shu said seriously: "I can have more children and make up for a few lives."

Qin Nu was suddenly covered in black lines.
