Chapter 34

Cao Ang stood on a small hill, holding a shed in his hand and looked into the distance, but the distance was too far, so he couldn't see clearly. The vague sound of killing came from his ears, which made him unable to sit down, but he did not dare to rashly lead the team to the battlefield. He only had these hundred people in his hand, and the capital was too small!

A clever servant had already jumped on Cao Ang's war horse and went to the edge of the battlefield to explore. Cao Ang estimated that Cao Ren's troops were fighting with the bandits in Heifeng Village. He ordered the servant to contact Cao Ren as soon as possible so that both sides could unite and launch an attack on the bandits.

Now that the servant has not returned yet, Cao Ang can only lead his troops to wait for the battle. Now the 110 people in his hands have been initially organized according to five people, one team, ten people and one titanium, and each selected his own group leaders. Both discipline and organizationality have been greatly improved. Cao Ang also ordered his subordinates to seize the time to cut the spear to ensure that everyone has weapons in their hands.

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Cao Ren followed the clerk to come over, with blood stains on his coat, and he didn't know how many bandits he killed.

Cao Ren walked closer, rolled off his horse, threw the reins in his hand to a servant, and strode up the hillside.

Cao Ang untied the water hyacinth from his waist, and handed it to Cao Ren, while whispering: "How many people are there on the other side? How many of them are elite soldiers? How powerful are they?"

Cao Ren took the water hyacinth and took a big sip. His thirsty and smoke finally relieved his throat. He said in a deep voice: "There are about 300 people on the other side, and nearly 100 of them are all iron weapons. The remaining soldiers also hold cut spears in their hands. The combat power is not too weak. It is stronger than the county soldiers who are decorations in the county."

Cao Ang nodded slightly, remembered another question, and then asked in a low voice: "Is there any standard bow and arrow?"

Cao Ren shook his head and whispered: "I didn't find a standard bow and arrow, but some of the bandits held hunting bows. Although the range was relatively close, it was also a certain threat. When I was leading the assault, I suffered such a secret loss, and they left more than ten people. If the cavalry hadn't been fast, I would have almost never left!"

"Just I saw you were entangled together again and again. The other party's combat power is very strong?" Cao Ang frowned. He gathered in a hurry. Although the servants' personal combat power is still okay, they have never been trained by the military formation. They are just a group of mobs.

Cao Ren shook his head, "Their combat effectiveness is average, but we have not received systematic training here, so we are not much better than them!"

"It seems that we can't keep them!" Cao Ang said in a deep voice, "Uncle, look, can we negotiate with him?"

"Peace talk? You don't have a fever, right?" Cao Ren asked in surprise: "They are here to sneak attack our Cao Mansion. If you talk to them now, how could they agree? Don't forget that we just captured their third leader alive!"

Cao Ang whispered, "I think it's possible. First of all, they came this time just to attack our Cao family, but not forcefully. But now our Cao family is prepared. Even if they rush to our manor and face the servants who are waiting for trouble, they will not be able to grab much. Secondly, the bandits are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The harassment you just organized just now will have to kill at least forty or fifty of them. Now they are going to raid our Cao family, and there are wounded people, and they can't raise the speed of the march at all. If the soldiers of Qiao County help at that time, they can't retreat but they can't retreat, so it's better to talk with us now!"

What Cao Ang said was indeed reasonable, and Cao Ren couldn't help but nodded slightly. After all, there were a large number of direct descendants in the intercepting troops sent by the Cao family this time. If they were killed and injured by the bandits and suffered a large-scale reduction in personnel, the Cao family would suffer a great loss. Even if the bandits were repelled, the Cao family would pay too much!

Cao Ang whispered: "I remember when we passed by here, we saw an abandoned checkpoint there. The terrain was slightly ups and downs, suitable for blocking. We also asked our uncle to lead people to continue harassing the enemy, delaying their advancement speed, and give me the opportunity to lead the army there and use the terrain to block the enemy. In this way, if we can reach a peace with the other side and let them retreat, it would be best. If not, we can also rely on the advantage of the territory and hold on for a while and wait for reinforcements from Cao's mansion."

Cao Ren nodded, took another big sip of water, and then got on the horse and left. Cao Ang shouted loudly: "Brothers, the cavalry have bought us time, and we cannot let down their efforts. The checkpoint ahead of the target, set off!"

Just as Cao Ang led his army to the checkpoint, Du Yuan looked at the injured soldiers under his command with heartache. These 300 subordinates were all elite soldiers he carefully selected, and they were the foundation for him to maintain his position as the chief! Every soldier lost made him feel distressed and would reduce his strength in the parody! Especially when they were facing Cao Ren's cavalry, the other party was like a wild wolf, constantly guerrilla, constantly tearing off their flesh. Now fifty or sixty people have been lost in the army, which makes Du Yuan feel extremely distressed!

Although there are not many people in the parody now, there are three forces, one of which is the more than 300 people in his hands, the other is the people of Liaojiazhuang led by Liao Hua, and the other is the fence-bearing man, and the other is the one who is forced to fall to the other side.

In order to appease Liao Jiazhuang, Du Yuancai promoted Liao Hua to the second leader of the parcel despite his age. In order to annex the power of Liao Jiazhuang, Du Yuancai appointed Liao Hua as the pioneer and ordered him to sneak attack Cao's mansion. However, if his strength was too much, even if Liao Hua lost, it would be difficult for Du Yuan to suppress the parcel. Thinking of this, Du Yuan couldn't help but feel a little bit of retreat.

At this moment, the Cao family cavalry, who had been guerrillas with Du Yuan's troops, suddenly pulled back and stopped fighting.

Du Yuan was very surprised and quickly ordered his subordinates to shrink the battle formation and count the casualties. Not only did he get the relevant report, and his hands were trembling with pain. In the previous battle, a total of 27 people were killed, forty-one was seriously injured and lost their combat ability. When the corpses of Cao Ren were counted, the other party only left nineteen corpses!

Now that I have been discovered by the Cao family, the chance of sneak attack has been greatly reduced. Should I retreat? But if I retreat, once I am dragged by the cavalry of the Cao army, when the Cao family reinforcements arrive, I will be surrounded by other people's superior forces, and my life will be ruined here!

Du Yuan, who was in a difficult situation, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Brothers, the second leader and the others set out in advance. Now they should have attacked the Cao Mansion and are waiting for us to take over. Although the Cao family's cavalry is very arrogant, they are almost broken by us. As long as we work harder, victory will belong to us! I announce now that you only need to hand over 40% of the property seized after entering the Cao family! The remaining 60% are all your own!"

Hearing Du Yuan's encouragement, the bandits under his command finally recovered a little morale. Everyone carried the wounded soldiers and continued to move forward, and soon discovered Cao Ang's troops.

Du Yuan immediately ordered to stop advancing, rode his horse and rushed into his head. When he saw a phalanx of infantry near the checkpoint in front was lined up neatly. Although there were only more than a hundred people, the soldiers in the formation were not panicked and the formation was very rigorous.

Du Yuan couldn't help but frown. He had heard that many servants in Cao's mansion were regular soldiers who left the army. Now, it was true. Looking at their neat formation, their team would definitely not be able to be set up. If he attacked this checkpoint, he still didn't know how much casualties he would have to pay. At that time, even if he got the checkpoint, he would not have the strength to continue moving forward!

Seeing a middle-aged man in the opposite formation watching the battle, Cao Ang urged his horse to rush out and shouted loudly: "The boss of Heifeng Village is Du Yuan, the leader of Heifeng Village, is looking forward to meeting in front of the formation."

Du Yuan heard his voice and looked up. When he saw a young man rushing out of the Cao family formation opposite, he became curious. He urged the horse to come up and said loudly: "Little baby, I am Du Yuan, where is your adult? Why don't you dare to come out to see me?!"

Cao Ang laughed and said loudly: "I am Cao Ang, and my father lives in Jinan!"

After hearing this, Du Yuan's heart trembled. This is the enemy Cao De paid a lot of money to kill? Why is he so young? By the way, since he is safe here, what about my brother Du Gao?

As if he saw the doubts in Du Yuan's heart, Cao Ang said loudly: "Big Master, you and I don't know each other without fighting! Your third boss, Du Gao, just surrendered to me at noon today and is now a guest in our Cao Mansion. As for your second boss, Liao Hua, alas, I don't know if he can survive the many tortures of our Cao family? But who told him to rebelliously and dared to sneak attack our Cao family, I really don't know if he is alive! The boss, I don't know that our Cao Mansion's plan to attract snakes out of the cave is still appropriate, right?!"

The flesh on Du Yuan's face trembled, and he couldn't help but feel shocked. No wonder the Cao family was prepared for a long time. It turned out that Cao De sent someone to deceive me! Now, hearing what Cao Ang meant, Du Gao had been captured and Liao Hua had been taken down. What should he do?

Cao Ang observed his expression and saw that Du Yuan was hesitant and knew that his attack on the heart was effective. He smiled and said loudly: "I don't know how many people there are in the boss's hands. I only have 110 powerful soldiers and thirty cavalrymen. I may not be able to stop the boss's power. But I believe you have also seen that our Cao family's reinforcements are coming one after another. At that time, the strength and weakness will be exchanged. I wonder if the boss can return to the mountain village alive?!"

As if in response to his words, smoke and dust rose not far away, as if reinforcements rushed over. Looking at the calm Cao Ang, Du Yuan felt a little timid in his heart. He said loudly: "Cao Ang, I admit that I can't beat your Cao family this time; but if we fight to the death, your Cao family will not get any advantage! In this case, as long as you return the two leaders of our Heifeng Village, I will lead the army to withdraw. From now on, the well water will not break the river. What do you think?"

Cao Ang shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "Master, you figure it out, it's you who ask me now, not me! Your two leaders have their own laws to deal with it. As for whether you will continue to live happily in the clan, or lose the battle and be captured and killed, it depends on your choice now! Okay, let's not talk nonsense, I'll wait for you to attack in the army!"

After saying that, Cao Ang lifted the reins and rode his horse back to the military formation, but he actually disdained to talk to Du Yuan again.

Looking at the strict military formation not far away and looking at the rolling yellow smoke in the distance, Du Yuan gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Let's retreat!"
