Chapter 227: The General Spends His Life
Outside the city of Yangzhai, the 3,000 foot soldiers led by Cao Cao arrived at the city.
A wide moat blocked the way, the gate in front of it was still closed, and the drawbridge that was pulled in the air was not lowered for a long time.
Cao Cao, who was riding in front of the river, raised his head and shouted: "Why don't you let me wait to enter the city, delay the big event, can you afford to bear the sin!" ”
After He Yi, who was standing on the city, confirmed it again and again, he waved his hand, and the archers gathered on the wall showed their figures, and the arrows that had been set up long ago shot downward.
Countless arrows rained down like flying locusts.
The Han army waiting for Kaecheng below was defenseless at all, and when they were suddenly attacked by arrows, they were also caught off guard, nearly 100 people were killed on the spot, and as many as 5 or 600 people were wounded.
Cao Cao wielded his lance and angrily reprimanded He Yi: "You are really daring, you dare to refuse me to enter the city." If I tell you about this, you will have a few heads to bear! ”
If you don't know the details of this person, He Yi was threatened like this, and maybe she opened the city gate.
But now, He Yi definitely won't believe Cao Cao's nonsense, and laughed loudly: "Huangkou Xiaoer, just with your little trick, you also want to hide from General Ben's eyes?" It's a joke! ”
Cao Cao's heart was shocked, but he heard He Yi say: "Go back and tell Huangfu Song, don't take me He Yi as a fool, want to fool me, go back to my mother's womb and read a few years of military books!" ”
Damn it!
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and scolded secretly, it was clear that Yang Zhai Cheng was in front of him, but he had nothing to do.
Also, the seamless plan, where did it go wrong!
When he was distracted, in the rain of arrows shot from the city, a feather arrow hit Cao Cao's right arm.
"Mengde, you're injured!"
Seeing this, Xiahoudun hurriedly stepped forward, and the tassel gun in his hand blocked the continuous arrows above.
Cao Cao endured the sharp pain coming from his arm, and shouted at He Yi: "You wait, I will go back and tell the marshal, I will definitely behead you according to the crime!" ”
Even if the plan was discovered, Cao Cao still refused to admit it.
However, according to the current situation, the city gate will definitely not be able to be opened. It is unrealistic to attack, after all, there are three or four feet of moat in front of him, and it is estimated that before he can cross the river, he will all be shot into dead bodies.
Cao Cao dropped his cruel words, turned his horse around, and retreated away with the wounded soldiers behind him.
After retreating to a jungle a few miles outside the city, Cao Cao ordered to rest on the spot.
The Xiahou brothers came over to pull out the arrow on Cao Cao's arm, and from the beads of sweat oozing from Cao Cao's forehead, it could be seen that he was in great pain.
The arrow cluster was taken out, and Xiahou Yuan carefully applied herbs to Cao Cao's wound to stop bleeding, and then wrapped three or four layers of cloth tape, seeing that Cao Cao was not in much trouble, the two of them were a lot more relieved.
"I can't understand why a foolproof plan can be seen through by moth thieves." Cao Cao frowned, he had been thinking about this question on the way, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Will there be a thief?" Xiahoudun raised his voice roughly, and he also felt that this matter was very strange.
The faces of the surrounding soldiers immediately changed, you look at me and I look at you, there is a look of doubt on their faces, and they are suspicious of each other.
Cao Cao shook his head and laughed without warning.
The soldiers looked at the cavalry captain who led the army in confusion, could it be that they had lost the battle, and the people were crazy and stupid?
Cao Cao patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder, looked at the soldiers in the forest, and said in an extremely determined tone: "I believe that the men who follow me Cao Mengde are all iron-clad, and there will definitely be no such rebellious people who tell the truth." ”
He knew very well that before Yang Zhai was captured, he couldn't start a civil strife by himself.
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they immediately felt that they had followed the right person, and their hearts welled up with deep gratitude, shouting that they would kill the enemy to prove their innocence.
But no one noticed the depth that flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.
After pacifying the soldiers, Cao Cao swapped his crotch mount with Xiahoudun, and asked him to rush to Huangfu Song in the starry night, informing him of the failure of his plan and asking him to reformulate the battle plan.
…………
The mouth of the watery river.
Bo Cai's eyes looked back, revealing disbelief and horror.
The flame-colored war horse soared into the air, leaping like a rainbow, leaping across the river from a position at least two feet above his head.
The figure of the knight on horseback who blocked the sunlight was so dazzling.
Knock~
The sturdy hooves of the horses stamped heavily on the opposite side of the riverbank, and rushed forward a few steps, leaving a series of thick horseshoe mud prints.
At this moment, Bo Cai's heart was like ashes.
The chilling halberd rested on his shoulder, and the body sitting on the horse's back leaned slightly.
Lu Bu looked at this Daqu Shuai who was on the side of the disaster, his original intention was to take his life directly with a halberd.
But just now, he changed his mind.
Perhaps, keeping him, will have unexpected uses.
The moth thieves on the edge of the pontoon watched from afar, and they didn't even think in their hearts that they were going to rush up to rescue Bocai.
This made Lu Bu breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, there are not a few moth thieves here, and if they rush up, it will be an extremely troublesome thing for him.
He pressed the halberd down gently, and asked the former Daqu Shuai with a smile: "Do you want to die or live?" ”
When he heard that there was still a way to live, he grabbed the shore with both hands and shouted vigorously: "General, spare your life, spare your life......
As the old saying goes, it's better to die than to live.
As long as you can live, everything in the future will be possible.
Bo Cai thought it through, he didn't have a firm belief in sacrificing himself like Ma Yuanyi, and he didn't believe in the so-called peaceful and prosperous world of the great sage and good teacher, he always only believed in himself.
was able to become the commander of Daqu at the beginning, in addition to shouting slogans louder than others, the most important thing was his martial arts.
But now it seems that the martial arts fists and feet he is proud of are not even cat and dog handles in the eyes of the young man in front of him.
Lu Bu frowned slightly, there was disdain in his eyes, this wave is also a character, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, he didn't have half a backbone.
Those Yellow Turban soldiers who didn't have time to escape, after seeing Daqu Shuaibo choose to surrender, had no idea of resisting at all in their hearts, and they were also very aware of the current affairs, and their weapons were still on the ground, kneeling and begging.
