Zhang Hu looked at He Yunxiao and said, "Nephew He, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while."

Without even thinking, He Yunxiao said, "Uncle Zhang, those small leaders were able to hide in the mountains because they were few in number and not the target of the Yan army. Even if our large group of people went into the mountains, the Yan army would still catch up with us."

"Then what should we do?"

He Yunxiao: I didn't get there either. Why didn't you just leave earlier?

When difficulties arose again, He Yunxiao opened Ruobao's magic bag once more.

On it, Ruobao wrote in delicate small regular script: "Disarmed and stripped of armor, felling trees, thus creating a feint."

He Yunxiao didn't have time to think much before handing Ruobao's note to Zhang Hu and telling him to do it immediately.

...

Five thousand heavily armored cavalrymen of the Yan army kept their heads down and hurried on their way.

The horses' hooves pounded tirelessly on the road, making a terrifying crackling sound.

"General! Look at all the weapons scattered on the ground! The Qi army is in a panic and has no idea where to run!"

Unlike his deputy, the general leading the Yan army was not excited. His face was serious, and after careful observation, he stopped the charging behemoth.

"Stop first."

"General! We're almost there! And the Qi army is already showing signs of defeat; all we need to do is continue the pursuit."

The Yan general dismounted and walked to a felled tree by the roadside. Such felled trees were everywhere around.

He touched the broken part of the tree; it was smooth and fresh, clearly cut off with a sharp tool.

The Yan general said with a solemn expression, "The weapons on the ground are real, and so are the trees that were cut down by sharp weapons. Chang Wu, what do you think?"

"Trees can be used as traps. Could there be a trap ahead? Are they deliberately luring us in by abandoning their weapons?"

The Yan general thought for a moment, then mounted his horse and said, "Whether there's a trap or not, we'll only know after we step on it. If we retreat without a fight, we'll both be in deep trouble. Mount up, let's continue the pursuit!"

Chang Wu said, "Yes! Continue the pursuit! Giddy up!"
