"Withdraw! Go immediately and report to the King!"

Upon seeing this, the Xianbei scout captain immediately spurred his horse and fled in the opposite direction.

"Hmph, now you want to run away? Too late!"

The Wuhuan scout captain snorted coldly, then took out his great bow, drew a feathered arrow, and shot it at the enemy.

At a distance of several dozen paces, the arrow arrived in an instant, piercing directly through the body of a Xianbei cavalryman.

The Wuhuan scouts behind them also took out their bows and arrows and shot forward.

And so, the Xianbei scouts ran ahead, while the Wuhuan scouts shot from behind.

Within a few breaths, the remaining Xianbei scouts all fell off their horses.

"Cut off their heads and take them back for the reward!!"

After glancing at the corpses of the Xianbei scouts on the ground, the Wuhuan captain revealed an excited smile.

Before long, the Wuhuan scouts returned with twenty Xianbei heads and the corpses of their companions, heading back towards Cao Cao's army.

As dusk fell, all the scouts Cao Cao had sent out returned to their temporary camp.

Looking at the eighty Xianbei heads brought back by the scouts, Cao Cao asked in a deep voice:

"Are you sure you've killed all the Xianbei scouts you encountered?"

"Following General Cao's words, we will kill them all without exception!" the scouts replied with certainty.

"good!"

Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Qiu Liju beside him, "Reward these scout brothers for their merits, then order the entire army to set off tonight and head straight for the Xianbei rear..."

"Uh...yes!"

Upon hearing Cao Cao suddenly order a forced march, Qiu Liju was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and relayed the order.
