Chapter 877: The Inner City Mansion

As soon as I entered the gate of the official residence, there was a faint smell of fishy smell in the air.

Puyang Mansion is a double quadrangle courtyard, after entering the gate, the first thing is to the outer courtyard, which is the place of office, a row of wings on the left is the residence of the errand on duty, a row on the right hand is a stable, and the one that crosses the courtyard is facing the gate is the council hall.

This way, from the gate to the council chamber, it was only a short two hundred steps, but there was blood and corpses everywhere, and it was unbearable to see. It seems that before Ma Chao came here, Cao Jun had already launched several charges. It's just that under Lu Bu's brave resistance, he was unwilling to retreat.

Because of this, Cao Cao came up with the idea of setting fire to the official residence, and wanted to use smoke and fire to force Lu Bu out to surround and kill him!

At this time, Ma Chao and the little school also immediately made some preparations for starting a fire, and at the same time, with the help of this cover, they slowly approached the edge of the courtyard.

In the eyes of other Cao Jun, this is purely an act of looking for death. However, those murderous Qingzhou troops have long been accustomed to life and death. Not only did no one scold and remind, but they all stared at Ma Chao with a joke look, to see how he would be killed by Lu Bu with an arrow in the end!

The numbness and indifference have made them already regard life as a good show, and this despicability of human nature is really chilling. However, Ma Chao had to thank them for their indifference, so that he slowly rubbed into the small door of the outer courtyard of the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the small door, a pungent and heavy smell of blood suddenly rushed out, and Ma Chao's brain was dizzy. Looking up, I saw that in the courtyard, the corpses were stacked on top of each other, and there were one or two hundred people in total, all of them were sturdy men with muscles, all of whom were dressed in the same clothes as Cao Cao's personal soldiers. Now they were lying on the ground, and each of them was shot with an arrow, which pierced the throat. The floor was covered with a sticky layer of crimson, and the walls and doors were splashed with bloodstains, which was shocking.

Seeing this scene, even though he had been mentally prepared, Ma Chao still felt a tightness in his heart: it seemed that Lu Bu inside was already weak and unable to get out.

When he mixed in disguise, Ma Chao carefully observed the terrain. The shooters in Cao's army have already stood firmly on several key points around the official residence, monitoring the streets on all sides, and blocking all the ways with long-distance hard crossbows, as long as Lu Bu kills the generals, he will definitely be pierced by ten thousand arrows!

And even if Lu Bu can break out of the inner city, there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers of Cao Cao in the outer city, as well as more than 15,000 people under Zhang Jaw and Yan Liang to besiege it layer by layer. Even if Lu Bu is really a peerless god of war, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of trouble.

Moreover, Ma Chao also knew that it was the speculative Tian who caused Lu Bu to lose so simply. Only then did Cao Cao almost effortlessly, and captured Puyang overnight - the heart of Lu Bu's princes, after all, he had not learned at home, and he did not have any restraint at all for the opportunists like Tian, and he allowed his biggest flaws to be handed over to outsiders.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Ma Chao knows that it is useless to talk too much. He was about to dodge in, but suddenly he heard a "bang", and a powerful arrow flew past him and nailed it to the door of the council chamber tremblingly. Ma Chao's foot stretched out forward suddenly retracted, his body retreated sharply, hiding behind the door, his heart was pounding, and he was already shocked into a cold sweat: the speed of this arrow, with Ma Chao's martial arts, he didn't see it clearly at all! This sudden shock and horror is the first time Ma Chao has felt it in more than a year.

It was easy to come back to his senses, and Ma Chao began to carefully observe the surroundings. Judging by the momentum of the arrows, Lu Bu should have hidden in the martial arts hall behind the council hall. Cautiously looking through the crack in the door, Ma Chao found that not far from the back door, next to the pillar, a crossbowman fell to the ground, his forehead was pierced back and forth, and his milky white brain was mixed with bright red blood and flowed to the ground. Presumably because he was careless for a while, he failed to hide his body and exposed half of his body, but he was shot by Lu Bu.

The arrow flew two hundred paces across the inner courtyard and pierced the crossbowman's head, and then flew forward into the council chamber with all its might, and nailed it to the front doorโ€”unless he had seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that it was the work of man.

Looking further away, I saw that the door of the martial arts hall was open, but it was dark inside, and I couldn't see anything clearly. On the road from the council hall to the Xiwu Hall, there were corpses all over the place as well as the outer courtyard, but there were only two dozen people lying in the center of the courtyard, but they were no longer Cao Cao's personal guards, but cavalrymen and horses who were nailed to death by strong arrows.

Judging from this, Cao Cao only discovered Lu Bu's hiding place after paying a lot of price. It's just that Ma Chao has a lot of resentment about Lu Bu's arrow: don't save people yourself, but be shot by Lu Bu as a hedgehog, that's what is extremely wronged!

"Who's coming?" At this moment, Lu Bu's light drink came from the martial arts hall, Ma Chao was overjoyed, and immediately replied in a voice that Lu Bu could hear: "Feng Xiangong, it's me!" โ€

Ma Chao's voice is quite similar to Lu Bu - when Ma Teng died, Ma Chao was heartbroken and cried hoarsely, like metal rubbing - it is difficult for others to imitate, so after hearing Ma Chao's voice, Lu Bu's voice was obviously happy and said: "Come in quickly!" โ€

Walking into the martial arts hall, Ma Chao found that the situation in front of him was worse than he imagined. The entire hall was full of the corpses of Cao Jun and Yuan Jun, and it was obvious that Cao and Yuan's armies had already attacked here. And these are not the most worrying for Ma Chao, what he is worried about is Lu Bu's situation!

At this time, Lu Bu looked the same as usual, except for his emaciated body and bloodstained body, he was almost still the god of war who was powerful in the world. But after a closer look, Ma Chao found that Lu Bu's face at this time was full of melancholy, and he no longer had the same bronzed healthy complexion as before, but in the gloom, there was a faint hint of red: although Ma Chao was not familiar with this phenomenon, he had also heard of that word, and he returned to the light.

At this time, Lu Bu's eyes were red and swollen, but his eyes were still like eagle falcons and hungry wolves, staring and cold. When he looked at Ma Chao unnaturally, he actually showed a little bit of gentle pampering that only a loving father can have-this strange feeling made Ma Chao's heart like steel, and he couldn't help but feel sour, and choked up and said: "Father-in-law, you have suffered, Chao'er has come to eat ........"

It was the first time Ma Chao called Lu Bu like this, and when Lu Bu heard this, his expression was also moved. But then he remembered again

What is the general said: "Meng Qi, did you see Xiu'er, Chen Gong and others breaking through when you came?!" โ€

"What?!" Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this, and along the way, he didn't notice that someone broke through at all. In other words, the breakthrough that Lu Bu said could only be before he infiltrated Puyang City, and before that, Ma Chao and the others did not see Lu Bu's army breaking through at all.

This can only be said that Liu Xiu and Chen Gong are either still fighting with Cao Jun in the inner city, or they have already become Cao Cao's prisoners!

"Father-in-law, there is no time, we must break through as soon as possible!" Ma Chao looked around, looked at the guards beside Lu Bu, and said, "At this time, how many soldiers are there under my father-in-law?" โ€

"There are only about 50 people........ Lu Bu's face darkened, and at the same time, he understood the harsh situation of Liu Xiu and the others, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "If I can ride the Red Rabbit, then there should be no problem in rushing out of Puyang City!" โ€

"This is easy to do, Chao'er also brought five thousand white horses from the past, and when they were young, they would attack in a big way, and after causing a riot, we took the opportunity to rush to the stable and rush out together!"

"Good!" Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his whole body immediately exuded an incomparable murderous aura, and he threw the halberd to the ground with his right hand, and said sonorously: "Let this world see my Lu Fengxian's bravery for the last time!" โ€

When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help frowning: Lu Bu said 'the last time', it seems that he is already very clear about his own physical condition....... and he still has the heart of death!
