North of Bowang Slope.
The 20,000 Cao Cao soldiers pursued.
Cao Shuo suddenly reined in the Fire Dragon Colt and pointed his whip forward."Uncle Zixiao, where is it?”
"Sikong, the Bowang Slope is in front of us." Cao Ren glanced at it and turned around.”
Bowang Slope!
A familiar name made Cao Shuo alert.
"I see…"
Cao Shuo's eyes flashed with sarcasm as he shouted,""Pass down my order, stop the pursuit."
After the order was given, the two armies suddenly stopped.
"Sikong, the Jing state army is only a few li away from here. As long as we catch up, we can wipe out the enemy in one go!”
"Why did Sikong stop his pursuit at such a critical moment?”
Cao Ren asked in confusion.
Cao Shuo laughed coldly." There's an inescapable net waiting for us ahead. If we continue to chase, we'll be the ones to fall."”
Cao Ren was stunned.
Cao Shuo rolled his eyes and shouted,"Quickly bring Cai Zhong over."
Not long after, the captured Cai Zhong was dragged to the horse by the white robed soldiers.
"Cai Zhong, do you want to live or die?" Cao Shuo asked sternly.”
Cai Zhong shivered and bowed his head." I am willing to surrender to Sikong Cao. Please show mercy."”
He was indeed a coward who was afraid of death.
"In that case, I'll give you a chance to prove your sincerity.”
Cao Shuo pointed his horsewhip forward.
"I order you to lead the Jingzhou soldiers to be the vanguard and pursue the retreating Jingzhou army. Are you willing?”
Cai Zhong was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed in his heart.
Letting him be the vanguard and chase after the Jing state army was akin to letting the tiger return to the mountain.
"This general will kill every single soldier of the Jing state army to prove this general's loyalty!”
Cai Zhong didn't even think and accepted the order generously.
Cao Shuo nodded his head in satisfaction and ordered Cai Zhong to lead the army to attack.
Cai Zhong immediately led his thousand troops, carrying the banner of the Cao army, and sprinted towards Bowang Slope.
"Sikong, that Cai Zhong is Cai Mao's younger brother. How could he become enemies with his elder brother for Sikong?”
"I'm afraid he's faking his surrender, taking the opportunity to escape control and join Cai Mao.”
Cao Ren reminded.
"How could I not know Cai Zhong's thoughts?”
Cao Shuo smiled coldly and pointed his horsewhip at Bowang Slope.
"Uncle, please calm down. Let's watch a good show of brothers killing each other first.”
"Brothers killing each other?"
Cao Ren's eyes became more and more confused. He could only turn to Bowang Slope in confusion.
Ahead, Cai Zhong and his troops had already disappeared into the dense forest.
On the hill.
Cai Mao wore a sinister smile as he looked at the countless Cao army flags and entered Bowang Slope.
"Raise the flag!"
Cai Mao shouted with killing intent.
A flag with the word "Cai" was raised in the air above the hill.
The order was given.
On the two sides of the hill, countless flames suddenly lit up.
Hundreds of rattan balls filled with firewood were immediately ignited by the Jingzhou soldiers and pushed down.
"Hu hu hu!"
Fireballs rolled and covered the entire mountain, rolling towards the Cao Army on the slope.
"Ambush, there are ambushes on the mountain!"
"The fireball is rolling down!”
"Don't block me, move aside!"
Cai Zhong was in a state of chaos, and his terrified screams echoed throughout the slope.
It was too late.
The fireball was too fast, and in an instant, it had already charged in.
Countless soldiers were instantly knocked to the ground, rolled over by the fireballs, and burned into burning men.
The howls of the malicious ghosts replaced the screams, making one's hair stand on end.
Cai Zhong was cut off by the fireball in the blink of an eye, and he fell into a state of chaos and fear.
On the hill.
Jia Xu smiled and cupped his hands." Congratulations, General Cai. You have done a great service for Liu Jingzhou!"”
"This general will definitely report to Liu Jingzhou about Mister Wen He's contribution in coming up with a plan!”
"We will share this great merit!"
Cai Mao laughed out loud. He drew his sword and pointed it at him,""Send out all your troops and kill all Cao Cao's soldiers!"
"Tong!"
The war drums sounded.
Nearly 30,000 Jing State soldiers suddenly appeared and charged towards the panicked Cao Army.
On the slope.
"Ambush! This is Big Brother's ambush!"
"Could it be that Cao Shuo saw through big brother's ambush and deliberately sent me here to probe and die?”
Cai Zhong suddenly came to a realization, his face filled with endless shock.
At this moment.
The Jing State Army that covered the mountains and plains charged down.
Sharp arrows shot out one after another, nailing the surviving soldiers to the ground.
Cai Zhong anxiously shouted,"Elder brother, I am Cai Zhong, one of us. Don't let--"
"Sou!"
A cold arrow pierced through the air and hit Cai Zhong.
He screamed and fell under the horse.
The Jing State Army arrived soon after.
They were eager to make a contribution and did not care if these "Cao troops" were real or fake. They raised their hands and slashed wildly.
In the blink of an eye, Cai Zhonghe and his thousand troops were killed by their own people without rhyme or reason.
Outside Bowang Slope.
Cao Ren's generals and tens of thousands of Cao soldiers looked at the blazing fire on the slope with confusion.
A scout rode over and shouted,""Sikong, the Jingzhou army has hidden an ambush and set fire to Bowang Slope. Cai Zhong's troops have been completely annihilated!”
Cao Shuo sneered.
Everything was as he had expected.
Cao Ren and the other generals suddenly realized and looked at Cao Shuo in shock.
"Sikong, so you knew that Cai Mao was deliberately pretending to retreat to lure our army into chasing him, but he set up an ambush at Bowang Slope!”
"Are you deliberately sending Cai Zhong to his death to test the enemy's strength?”
Cao Ren, a famous general, immediately understood Cao Shuo's meaning.
Cao Shuo said disdainfully,"Cai Mao doesn't have this ability. I think Jia Xu must have joined him and offered him this poisonous plan to burn Bowang Slope."”
Cao Ren took a deep breath and broke out in a cold sweat.
"This plan is really vicious. If nephew Ziyao didn't see through it, we would have been completely annihilated!”
"Ziyao's strategy was actually able to see through Jia Xu's poison warrior scheme. It's really unbelievable!”
Cao Ren was shocked, and he looked at Cao Shuo with surprise.
"Swoosh!"
Cao Shuo raised his Heavenly Dragon Halberd and shouted,""Cai Mao's ambush is out. All of you charge into Bowang Slope and kill all the Jingzhou soldiers. Kill my name!”
The Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Stallion stomped its hooves and charged forward like a stream of fire.
Cao Ren came back to his senses and shouted,""Cao family soldiers, follow Sikong and kill all the enemies..."
The twenty thousand Cao Army's fighting spirit exploded as they charged forward.
Inside Bowang Slope.
Cai Mao was riding his horse and waving his saber, killing wildly along the way.
The more he killed, the more he felt that something was wrong.
The Cao Army in front of him was shouting,"I'm one of us", and they all had Jing state accents.
Suddenly.
A familiar figure appeared in front of him. It was his second brother, Cai Zhong.
"Second brother was clearly captured by Cao Shuo, so why would he appear here and wear the Cao army's armor?”
Cai Mao suddenly reined in his horse, endless bewilderment surging into his mind.
At this moment, an arrow pierced through the air and hit Cai Zhong.
Cai Mao was shocked, and he urged his horse to gallop forward.
"Second brother, why is it you?"
Cai Mao dismounted from his horse and supported Cai Zhong, who had been shot, as he asked in a hoarse voice.
Cai Zhong said hatefully," Big brother, that Cao Shuo saw through your ambush. He deliberately sent me here to die. He wanted us brothers to face each other."
Before he could say the word "crippled", Cai Zhong kicked his legs and died.
"That Cao Shuo was actually able to see through Jia Xu's plan?”
"I, Cai Mao, have been on the battlefield for a long time, but I was actually played by that yellow-mouthed child?”
"This is impossible, this is impossible-"
Cai Mao hugged his brother's corpse and muttered to himself, falling into a daze.
An earth-shattering killing sound rang out behind him.
Cai Mao trembled as he turned around, only to see countless Cao troops pouring into Bowang Slope like a flood.
The Jing state army was caught off guard and collapsed like ants.
A golden-armored youth, Cao Jiang, rushed over like a god descending to the mortal world.
Wherever the halberd passed, no one would be spared!
"Cao…Cao Shuo?"
Cai Mao shivered and called out the name.
