Chapter 876: Infiltrating Alone
Sou!
A cold arrow slashed through, Cao Cao's heart was lifted, and he suddenly pulled a guard next to him to block in front of him, and when he saw the person in the distance, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It's not Lu Bu!
However, even this arrow also shot through the chest of the guard, only half an inch, and it was about to be next to Cao Cao's body, such a danger still made Cao Cao frown in fear.
Fortunately, after throwing away the body of the guard, Cao Cao had already seen that the general who had attacked him just now had been beheaded by Le Jin from behind, and Le Jin was riding a war horse to report the military situation to him.
"Report, lord, the outer city of Puyang has been fully controlled, and Lu Bu still resists stubbornly if he refuses to defend the inner city, but please make it public!" Le Jin carried the general's head, and inadvertently let the man's eyes stare at Cao Cao, and for a while, the cold and tragic battlefield was ruthless, and it penetrated everyone's psychology at once.
"Who is this?" Cao Cao didn't answer Le Jin's question, but instead pointed to the man's head and asked.
"Lu Bu's marksman Cao Xing!" Lejin replied.
"Generous burial, commend its loyalty!" Cao Cao ordered, and then looked away from Cao Xing's head, and said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, do you think that in Lu Bu's army, Cao Xuan is the number one marksman?" ”
"Definitely!" Cheng Yu was still as straightforward as ever, and said directly: "In addition to being known as the 'Tiger of the World', Lu Bu also has the reputation of 'Flying General', and Li Guang, the sharpshooter who used to shoot arrows and pierce stones, also has the title of 'Flying General', and Lu Bu can get this reputation because of Lu Bu's extraordinary archery skills, which are by no means inferior to Li Guang back then. ”
"Yes, Lu Bu rarely exercises the bow himself, but he is fortunate to have seen it once." Cao Cao lowered his head at this time and said slowly: "I still remember the day when the Tiger Prison was passed, Dong Zhuo was surrounded by the United Legion........ Lu Bu led the wolf to the rescue, hung more than ten quivers, and released arrows with a 300-stone hard bow and beads, specifically aimed at Shi Chang and the captain, the arrows were not missing, and those who should die within 400 steps were killed." That Lu Bu released eighty-six arrows in a row, and the officers above the rank of captain of our army were shot and killed by him eighty-six people in a row! ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but shiver, as if recalling the terrible battle back then, and said with palpitations: "So the coalition forces were in chaos, and wherever Lu Bu rushed to kill, the soldiers automatically gave way out, and no one dared to get close to him." That's it, he broke through the bloody road from more than 100,000 coalition troops and rescued Dong Zhuo. ”
After saying this, Xun Yu beside Cao Cao also spoke: "And Lu Bu's halberd method is unparalleled in the world, and with the red rabbit horse that is as fast as the wind, it is even more invincible. This time trapped Lu Bu, a certain group of people rushed into the official residence with their troops, and blocked Lu Bu in the inner house with strong crossbowmen. We must first control the stables next to the council hall, and we must not allow Lu Bu to ride the red rabbit, if this person and horse are united in one place, no one in this world can stop them. Once Rong Lubu broke out of the siege and fled into the Ma family, he would never be able to get rid of this nightmare in the future! ”
"Lord, military advisor!" At this time, several generals of Cao Cao's personal commander were already in front of him, and Xiahoudun, Le Jin, Li Dian, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, etc., all spoke in unison: "Why do you want to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?!" ”
Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu looked at each other skillfully and smiled, and learned that the method of agitating the generals had been completed, and the military heart could be used. But Cao Cao was still not at ease at this time, and said: "The trapped beast is still fighting, Lu Bu's crazy counterattack before he died, it must be a shock....... and, more importantly, once Ma Chao's figure is discovered, he will quickly withdraw from Puyang City, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
"Lord!!" At this time, when everyone heard Cao Cao's strange order, they were really aggrieved to the extreme. The only way I can think of is to follow the order and cut off Lu Bu's head in the fastest and most effective way!
It's just that Cao Cao didn't know that at this moment, on the Puyang city wall, a person dressed as a Cao army soldier had already begun to march quickly, and he happened to be seen by a Cao military academy in a hurry, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and said: "You, yes, it's you, come here!" ”
When the man heard this, he first lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then he still lowered his head and slowly walked towards the small school. However, before he reached the little school, the little school raised his hand and whipped the man's head: "Rabbit cub who doesn't obey military orders, Lao Tzu shouts that you don't hurry up and ........"
However, the whip was howling in the wind, and the momentum was not small. But there was no last crisp sound, and the captain was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the little soldier actually smiled coldly, and easily pinched the whip.
"It's against you! Don't hurry up yet........ uh! By this time, the soldier had already pulled his whip to the side, and the captain suddenly fell straight ahead. The soldier let go of his whip and reached forward to meet his throat, then grabbed the trachea on both sides of his throat with his hand, and dragged him in front of him.
The two faces were less than three inches close, and the little school suddenly recalled the portraits hanging everywhere in Cao Ying's mind, and couldn't help coughing and saying in horror: "You, who are you?" ……..”
Ma Chao stared at the little school coldly, and when he saw that he could still speak, he couldn't help but increase the strength of his pinching. Finally, when he saw that his face was purple, his mouth was wide open, and his throat was rattling, but he couldn't breathe it in. Only then did he relax his control a little, and after watching him struggle in vain again, the expression on his face changed from surprise, anger, and panic to disbelief and deep fear, he said, "Yes, I am that person." If you don't want to die now, you'll show me the way, understand? ”
After releasing his hand slightly, the lieutenant nodded, signaling that he understood. And Ma Chao was not confused, and added again: "There are now 20,000 troops outside the city, ready to mix Fengxian Gong to attack you inside and outside." If you have a head, you should know that following me is no worse than following Cao Cao. Now, let's get started........"
Under this combination of hard and soft, grace and might, the little school really started to think. Seeing that Ma Chao really let go of him, he firmly believed in Ma Chao's words even more, couldn't help but take a few breaths, raised his hand hoarsely and said: "Cao Cao has no way, I am willing to be loyal to General Ma!" As he spoke, he wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Ma Chao and signaled to do business first.
And that small school was indeed beyond Ma Chao's expectations. Although he seems to be domineering, he seems to have some real skills, and after he turned around and walked a few ways, he avoided the chaotic place of the Cao army's battle, until he walked to the inner city, and was stopped by a few soldiers.
"Who is the part, what are you here to do?!" The soldiers outside the inner city looked like soldiers, but the armor on their bodies was much better than that of this little colonel. Moreover, Ma Chao also found that these people had obviously been standing guard for a long time, and their legs and feet were a little stiff. But after standing for so long, no one dared to move.
"On the orders of General Lejin, come to deliver sulfur and fire oil, and set fire to the inner city to prevent Lu Bu from escaping!" The little colonel opened his mouth and replied, waved his hand slightly, motioned for Ma Chao to step forward, and handed the items that the little colonel had given him in advance to those soldiers for inspection.
The soldiers flipped through and inspected it before nodding and letting go. And when Ma Chao entered, he frowned unnaturally, and whispered to the little school, "Who are those?" ”
"It is the personal soldiers of the main ....... Cao Cao, all of whom are die-hard soldiers selected from the Qingzhou soldiers, with strong combat power and superior grades."
After Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: It seems that Cao Cao is going all out against Lu Bu this time! And this time, he ventured to rescue Lu Bu, can he not succeed?
"Feng Xiangong is really no longer good? ........." unnaturally asked this sentence, Ma Chao's heart trembled a little. In fact, his feelings for Lu Bu are very complicated.
Like Cao Cao, he cherishes Lu Bu's talent and hates Lu Bu's ability. However, seeing such a warrior die in front of his eyes makes him feel so sorry and heartbroken.
Cao Cao's choice was very decisive and cruel, that is, to give Lu Bu a brilliant funeral. And Ma Chao, he didn't know what he could give Lu Bu when he came to rescue Lu Bu?
Commiseration? Friendship? Affection?
Or is it the bond of trust of the princes to their subordinates?
Lu Bu didn't need any of that........
"Lord, General Lu was already covered in bruises when he fought in the battle of Guzihe, and later defended Puyang City, which burned his life. In the end, he killed Wen Chou, and his subordinates also heard that after Lu Bu returned to Puyang City, he was shaken by internal injuries and vomited three mouthfuls of blood........"
"I know......." Ma Chao looked up at the sky, looking at the full moon in the sky that was still covered by dark clouds, he seemed to understand the meaning of this visit: finally, see the unparalleled god of war in the world again........
