Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Xiang Liang's strategic vision was still very good. Although it was just a surprise attack, Xiang Liang, who was standing halfway up the mountain, had a panoramic view of everything and immediately noticed the various adjustments made by Gao Yao. He also expressed his appreciation for Gao Yao's temporary response to the enemy's changes. After all, a general who only knew how to obey death orders was indeed a good general, but not necessarily a good commander.

Knowing how to adapt in battle and how to gain more advantages in the battle is the more appropriate method. Only such a general can lead his soldiers to be invincible on the battlefield.

"It seems that we must retreat now. Inform Xiang Yu to retreat as soon as possible. We should not stay here for long. If we attract a large number of enemy troops to encircle and suppress us, it will not be worth the loss. Although it is not certain for the time being, it is always better to be safe than sorry."

At this time, Fan Zeng also gave his own suggestions. Although from the current point of view, the enemy army only has these 3,000 soldiers and horses, but no one knows whether there will be reinforcements in the future, and it is impossible to be sure, and it is definitely impossible to stay here. In this case, retreating as soon as possible is the best solution.

"Yes, that's right, that's what I meant. Hei Hu, go and inform Yu'er that she should not continue fighting and should protect the elderly, the weak, women and children and evacuate from the back mountain as soon as possible. Let Yu'er stay behind to cover the rear."

"Here"

Hearing Xiang Liang's call, a young general stood out from the crowd behind Xiang Liang. After hearing Xiang Liang's order, he waved his hand and rushed down the hillside with more than ten cavalrymen, rushing to the battlefield to report Xiang Liang's order.

At this time, in the dark forest not far away, a pair of eyes was staring at this scene. This person was Gao Yao. Gao Yao did not choose to launch an attack at the first time, but was more cautious as he got closer to avoid being discovered by the other party. Especially when he saw that the number of the other party was no less than a hundred, he was cautious and did not choose to launch an attack at the first time.

The opponent had Xiang Liang on his side, who was also a general with good martial arts. At least Gao Yao had no confidence that he could defeat him. Gao Yao's target at the beginning was actually Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng was already relatively old in this era, nearly 60 years old. Although his age did not affect his actions, he was not a military general after all.

But there were many people around Xiang Liang, so Gao Yao decided to be patient and wait for an opportunity. Now this opportunity was just right. Someone took away nearly 20 people, all of whom were cavalry. Now almost all of Xiang Liang's people were infantry, with only a few horses. Moreover, these so-called infantry basically only had weapons and did not even have armor. If he did not take action now, when would he take action?

"Erniu, keep an eye on that old man. If you can kill him, it will be a great achievement for you. It won't be difficult for you to be promoted to centurion."

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely kill this official."

"All troops, raid!"

Seeing that the group of people had left for a distance, Gao Yao made a gesture and everyone immediately mounted their horses. At Gao Yao's command, more than 50 cavalrymen rushed directly to the position where Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were.

"kill......"

For a moment, the whole forest was filled with the sound of killing. Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng, who were observing the situation at the foot of the mountain, immediately changed their expressions. They had never expected that the Qin army, who suddenly came from nowhere, would kill their way to the middle of the mountain.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap, damn it... Quick, retreat quickly, protect Mr. Fan Zeng, quick..."

At this time, Xiang Liang secretly sighed that he had fallen into a trap. In Xiang Liang's opinion, the reason why the Qin army did not choose to attack from the front and back was to create an illusion for them that they could retreat to the back mountain at any time, and then deliberately use this method to attack again, catching them off guard and not giving them time to react.

Everything was a deliberate illusion, including the fires set everywhere at the foot of the mountain, which was also to attract attention. With the flames and black smoke rising into the sky, they played a trick of hiding the truth under the lamp. At this time, Xiang Liang was very curious about who the opponent's general was. He could actually design something like this, which was definitely a genius. He caught you by surprise. It can be said that every step fell into the opponent's calculations.

Xiang Liang's idea was indeed overthinking. Gao Yao was not so far-sighted. Gao Yao thought that there was no 100% chance of winning, so he planned to use a tricky method. He found Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang by accident. It was also a coincidence. If the two of them left earlier, Gao Yao was doomed to return empty-handed.

When attacking, Gao Yao did not choose to rush directly towards Xiang Liang and others, but deliberately divided more than 50 people into five teams and launched attacks from different directions. This would create a force of at least hundreds of cavalrymen, and would immediately give the enemy a psychological shock.

In fact, it was just as Gao Yao expected. Even Xiang Liang was at a loss in such a sudden situation with shouts of killing. In this situation, Xiang Liang could only choose to send half of his troops to protect Fan Zeng and leave first. Fan Zeng certainly could not go to the battlefield. If he died here, it would be a huge loss for the Xiang family.

"Soldiers, follow me and kill..."

At this time, Xiang Liang also rode on his warhorse, calling on those around him to prepare for resistance, while Gao Yao, the leader, had already rushed directly into the crowd, swinging his weapon and killing three people in a moment. The rest of the cavalry also rushed into the crowd and started killing. They were originally ambushed, and with the cavalry against the infantry, more than 20 people had died at the hands of the cavalry in the blink of an eye. Xiang Liang watched this scene and fought hard.

As soon as Gao Yao saw Xiang Liang, he turned around and rushed towards the fleeing Fan Zeng. Compared with Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng was definitely easier to deal with.

"Soldiers, kill them! Military merit is before our eyes. These are the core members of the Xiang clan's rebel army. Kill them!!!"

Under Gao Yao's command, there were only more than fifty cavalrymen, but after a short while, the number of the fifty people who were close to Xiang Liang was reduced to less than ten. Gao Yao had already led half of the cavalrymen along the mountain road to pursue Fan Zeng. Xiang Liang was shocked when he saw this scene, and hurriedly began to pursue Gao Yao.

Gao Yao's face was not looking good at this time. On the one hand, Xiang Liang and several personal soldiers were chasing him closely. On the other hand, these soldiers were probably trained by the Xiang family and wanted to chase Fan Zeng. However, several soldiers would stop at intervals to block Gao Yao and others' pursuit. After several rounds of tossing, Gao Yao did not get closer to Fan Zeng at all, but was forcibly pulled away.
