"promise!"

Cao Ming then summoned several generals under his command to discuss and said: "The Song army is entrenched on the high ground, and has dug trenches, built fences, archery towers and other fortifications. We are cavalry and have few troops. The attack may cause heavy losses, so a strong attack is not advisable. The task of our army is to contain and keep an eye on this Song army. In the battle tonight, our army will win a small game. This is because the general of the Song army is eager to fight, but you should not be proud Complacent, after this battle, the Song army will definitely be more cautious, and they will not take any action tonight, you can rest assured and boldly let the soldiers rest!"

All the generals clasped their fists one after another: "Follow the order!"

After the generals returned to their troops, they ordered the soldiers to sleep peacefully and boldly.

Not long after, the army camp fell into silence again.

Cao Ming ordered to turn off all the lights in the camp again, which would make the Song army on the high ground suspicious again and dare not attack the camp easily for fear of fraud.

When all the lights in the camp were extinguished, Cao Ming walked out of the tent and looked up at the high ground occupied by the Song army in the distance. It was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Come on, I'm going to take a nap. If there is any enemy coming from outside, report it immediately!" Cao Ming turned and walked into the tent after speaking.

"Yes, General!"

Song Army Heights.

A dimly lit oil lamp was lit in Chen Xian's camp, his face was constantly changing under the light, and several generals and officials in the camp were silent.

General Huang Zhuang had a mournful face. His men and horses had been wiped out in the process of rushing the army just now, and now he has become a veritable polished commander.

"Joining the army, the morale of the brothers in the other buildings has fallen to the valley. You should make a quick plan for what we should do now. If not, the brothers in the other buildings will collapse on their own before the army comes up!"

Chen Xian raised his head. At this moment, he had already made a decision. His mission had actually failed, and he would die if he went back. Even if Li Dan was not his direct superior, he had no right to dispose of him. When he arrived in Berkshire, Li Dan If the situation is reported to the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely hold him accountable. For a man from a poor family with no backing and backing, although no one may make trouble, there is absolutely no one to speak for him. Going to Berkshire is a dead end!

If you want to survive, the only way is to save yourself, how to save yourself?

"Pass down the order and let the soldiers prepare to retreat overnight!"

Chen Xian's order stunned all the generals. General Huang Zhuang remembered what Chen Xian had said to him before, and asked, "Where do you want to go to join the army? Chengdu City?"

"That's right!"

A general surnamed Xiang said: "Joining the army, we don't know what is going on outside the city of Chengdu. Even if we arrive in Chengdu, we may not be able to enter the city! Also, the Qianjun has already sent troops to the city of Chengdu. Let's go there now." Wouldn't it be throwing yourself into a trap?"

Chen Xian asked: "Where do you think it is safe to go? Is there any other place in Bashu that is safe? Is there any city that is as high and thick as Chengdu? Is there any city that hoards food, grass and materials more than Chengdu?" many?"

"The imperial court will not watch Bashu be captured by the Qian Kingdom. The imperial court will definitely send troops. As long as we stick to the defenders in Chengdu City and the governor and the imperial army until the imperial army arrives, we will not only be exonerated, but even earn credit! If we withdraw , and even withdrew from Bashu, although you can survive for the time being, if the court pursues it, we will all be dismissed and imprisoned, do you want to fight, or escape from Bashu and wait to die? You choose yourself!"

The generals and officials looked at each other. They seemed to have no choice. Everyone knew that there was still a chance to fight. If they withdrew from Bashu, they would be dismissed by the court and questioned.

General Huang Zhuang is now the bare-handed commander, he can only follow Chen Xian closely, clasped his fists and said: "Join the army, the last general will go to Chengdu City with the army!"

The other generals and officials had no choice but to stand up and hand in hand: "The last general waits to obey the dispatch of the army!"

"Okay, let's order the soldiers to get ready to evacuate! General Xiang, please send an elite scout team to clear out the secret sentries and scouts leading to the city of Chengdu, and open a retreat channel. You must tell them, Do it quietly, don't make any noise, once the people in the Qianjun camp find out, our intentions will be guessed by the general Qianjun, and then we will be in trouble!"

"Understood, the general will make arrangements!"

Everyone in the Gan army thought that after the previous empty battalion plan and the turnaround raid, the Song army would definitely not dare to take any more actions in the second half of the night, but everyone was wrong, including the newly appointed Gan army secret sentries .

These secret sentries of the dry army did not think that the Song army had the guts to take action in the second half of the night, so they hid in hidden pits and fell asleep. The secret sentries of the dry army leading to Chengdu did not know that the god of death had descended. on their heads.

While the secret soldiers of the army were sleeping soundly, scouts of the Song army came over one by one quietly. Several of the secret soldiers of the army were killed in their sleep, and a few were killed before they could warn them after waking up.

Although the operation was quite difficult and the Song army lost several scouts, it finally opened up the passage to Chengdu without disturbing the soldiers and horses in the Qianjun camp.

"Join the army, the brothers have cleared the secret sentries and guard posts leading to the city of Chengdu, and they are ready to go at any time!" General Xiang Zhuang hurriedly came to Chen Xian's side and clasped his fists to report.

Chen Xian and the other generals did not expect to succeed so quickly. Chen Xian asked, "How much loss did our scouts have?"

"Three people have been lost, and a total of all the secret soldiers of the army have been killed!"

At this time, General Huang Zhuang said: "It's quite easy. If so, we might as well send scouts to kill the enemy scouts leading to the low level of the Qianjun army, and then rush into the Qianjun camp and kill them all! "

General Huang Zhuang's proposal brightened the eyes of other generals and schools, and everyone was eager to try it.

Chen Xian thought for a while and shook his head and said: "You guys are thinking too simply. The direction leading to the Qianjun camp is the area that their scouts and guard posts will focus on defending. The possibility of our scouts succeeding is very small. The vigilance of the army will increase exponentially! The weak guard posts they deployed in the area leading to Chengdu City are because they never thought that we would withdraw to Chengdu City!"

"To be on the safe side, let's not make extra troubles. Besides, since we have already made a retreat strategy, we can't change it half-heartedly. This will not only be detrimental to our army's operations, but also seriously affect morale!"

The generals and officials felt very ashamed when they heard the words, they all bent down and cupped their fists and said, "Joining the army is a good lesson!"

"Is everything ready?"

"Return to join the army, everything is ready, ready to go at any time!"

Chen Xian immediately brought the generals to all the soldiers. 400 people had been lost in the first battle just now, and only [-] people remained.

Chen Xian's voice was very low: "Soldiers, the current situation is very unfavorable for our army. If our army wants to survive, the next action must be taken by surprise, so that the army can't expect it. Therefore, I joined the army and decided to take everyone to Chengdu again. When we get near the city of Chengdu, I will send people to contact the defenders in the city and ask them to open the city gate. As long as we enter the city, we will be safe for the time being! Well, without delay, we will retreat overnight. Don't speak loudly, cough, let's go!"

One thousand Song troops, led by Chen Xian and others, retreated towards Chengdu overnight along the passage opened by the scouts.

After dawn, the soldiers of the Qian army woke up one after another, and the camp soon became noisy. Cao Ming went out of the camp and looked at the high ground. He found that there was no movement on the high ground occupied by the Song army, so he was relieved.

Until noon, there was no movement on the high ground, and there were no people walking around.

Cao Ming frowned and thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Even if Song Jun was frightened last night, it wouldn't have been a long time since there was no movement at all. Could it be that Song Jun was dead?They don't have to eat, drink, or go to the toilet?

"Come on, let the first building general send a scouting team to the mountain for a tentative reconnaissance, go!"

A reconnaissance team slowly walked up the mountain in a battle formation. The people in front were holding shields and swords, the people in the middle were holding spears, and the people behind were holding bows and arrows. Everyone walked forward cautiously.

I touched halfway up the mountain, but there was no reaction on the top of the mountain. It wasn't until this scouting team went up to the top of the mountain that they found that the top of the mountain was empty, all the tents were empty, and there was no one in sight.

"What? Song Jun is gone?" Cao Ming was stunned after hearing the report. He only won a small victory in the middle of the night last night. He didn't expect that Song Jun would win him back in less than half a day. Could this be the retribution of getting carried away?

Chapter 992

After regaining his senses, Cao Ming immediately ordered his subordinates to go to the high ground to check, and saw that the Song army camp on the top of the mountain was empty, and there were many tents, but there was not a single Song soldier in sight.

"Chief Commander, the entire mountaintop has been searched, but no Song soldiers have been found, and no caves have been found!" Shi Chang, who led the reconnaissance team, hurried up to report.

Cao Ming's expression was ugly. He scanned the entire Song army camp, and asked in a deep voice, "Track it for me. I want to know where the Song army has gone. How long will it take?"

The head of the reconnaissance cavalry replied: "Chief commander, I can't guarantee that I can track them down. If they don't leave a trace, my subordinates can't track them down even if they have all-powerful skills. As long as they leave a trace, they can be traced within half an hour at most." Within, the subordinates can lead the brothers to track it down!"

"Okay, let's go!"

"promise!"

Cao Ming then gave orders to several of his subordinate generals: "Send down the order and tell the soldiers to get out of camp and get ready to go. We will set off in an hour's time!"

"Commander, where are you going?" A general asked.
