Chapter 260: The Wolf Who Snatched Love with a Sword Is Coming
Just when Hong Kang's heart was cold, the spies were also constantly sending back news.
The remnants of the soldiers fled and fought, and quickly approached Wancheng.
Moreover, the news of the spies' return is becoming more and more urgent. The few Cao soldiers fled and killed at the same time, and the number of them became smaller and smaller, and they were about to perish.
It is only a few miles away from Wancheng.
Hong Kang clenched his fists, his face full of struggle. This may be a trap, but it can also be true.
If it is a trap, he will go out of the city to fight, and it is very likely that he will be ambushed. But if it's true, General Cao.
Although the city is very important, Hong Kang will never allow Cao Ren to be killed at the moment.
"Wait, wait." Hong Kang forced himself to calm down, judging from the news just now, although the remnants of the army were very embarrassed, they still had the ability to flee while fighting, and they should not be able to destroy it for a while.
Wait for a little closer, wait for a little closer.
In this difficult waiting, the two armies that chased and fled appeared in Hong Kang's eyes.
I saw an army of hundreds of people fleeing in front, killing as they fled. Some of the soldiers staggered and seemed to fall to the ground at any moment.
As embarrassed as you want, you can be as embarrassed as you want.
The remnants of this army were pursued by an army of about one or two thousand people, and this army was extremely imposing, and its banner was "Liu".
It's closing in.
There were too many remnants, hundreds, and too chaotic. Hong Kang tried hard to open his eyes to see if there was Cao Ren in the team, but the result was nothing.
And in the midst of this search, the situation changed dramatically.
The remnants of the hundreds of people, perhaps because of their lack of strength, could no longer run, and were surrounded in the center.
"Ahh Ahhhh ”
"Bang bang."
The sound of weapons clashing and howling continued. Every voice made Hong Kang's heart tremble. Will there be Cao Ren here, will there be Cao Ren?
"Hong Kang, the general is here, why don't you send troops to rescue?"
Not to mention the words that came out from time to time in that remnant army. And the accent is also the accent of the Central Plains, which seems to be the accent of the Qiaoxian area.
Qian County is Cao Ren's hometown, and Hong Kang knows that some of Cao Ren's personal soldiers are family soldiers and are from Qian County.
Stimulated by this kind of sound one after another, Hong Kang was really confused.
"Hong Kang, General Cao is right in front of you, you don't want to save it?" Hong Kang's hesitation is out of prudence, but Hong Kang also has a lot of martial artists around him, the kind of person who is prone to blood surge.
One of them stood up and questioned Hong Kangdao.
Hong Kang looked up and saw that this man was forty years old, burly and full of sharp eyes. At the moment, he was looking at him with an indignant gaze. This person is a school captain, and he used to be Cao Ren's personal soldier.
I love Cao Ren very much.
Not only this person, but the people around him looked at Hong Kang more or less with this kind of gaze.
Among the partial divisions in Wancheng, Cao Ren has the highest prestige, followed by Niu Jin. And now that Cao Ren is besieged outside the city, the hearts of the soldiers have become restless and blind.
Even with it, he was resentful of Hong Kang, a guard who could not be saved when he saw death.
At this time, Hong Kang suddenly woke up. If it is not saved, the city will mutiny.
As a result, the various armies could not be coordinated, and the 2,000 troops were scattered. At this time, it is no longer a question of whether it is Cao Ren outside the city, but a question of having to be saved.
Hong Kang smiled bitterly in his heart, General Cao, you are invincible in the world, how could you fold in Jiangxia?
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but on his face, Hong Kang obeyed the request of the soldiers and ordered: "Gather 1,500 men and horses, open the city gate to rescue." ”
"No."
The lieutenant who questioned Hong Kang earlier was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and he answered loudly and immediately went down to prepare.
Then there was a beating of drums in the city. "Boom." Soon after, with a loud bang, the captain led fifteen hundred men out of the city.
At the head of the city, Hong Kang looked nervously ahead. Fifteen hundred people is already his bottom line, and if he sends soldiers out, it will not be enough to defend the city.
Moreover, according to Hong Kang's thoughts, these 1,500 people are the essence of Cao Renjun, and no matter how bad they are, they can be returned safely, and they didn't expect that there would be such a thing as the annihilation of the whole army.
The fighting situation under the city seems to be developing in a favorable direction for Wancheng.
I saw that after the fifteen hundred Cao Jun came out, it seemed to cause some panic on the other side, and in a moment of confusion, Liu Jun actually separated some gaps.
In fact, the captain who led the army saw that Sergeant Liu seemed to be relaxed, and he was overjoyed, and raised his sword and shouted: "Rush over and save the general." ”
"Kill." Fifteen hundred Cao troops let out a loud roar and rushed in.
Cao Jun under the city was overjoyed, but at the head of the city, Hong Kang's heart sank violently when he watched the development of the situation, and two words appeared in his heart.
Pitfall.
Although Hong Kang's adaptability is not good, he still has vision and ability, otherwise Cao Ren would not have sent him to defend the city.
Let Cao Jun join the remnants of the army, this is an obvious trap.
"Mingjin, Mingjin." At this time, Hong Kang couldn't care whether the soldiers would mutiny, and shouted in a cold sweat.
"Ding, ding, ding." On the city, the sound of gold and iron quickly sounded.
The voice was short, urgent. It really made Cao Jun at the bottom of the city pause slightly. But this group of soldiers really loved Cao Ren.
Listening to the sound of gold on the city, the captain's eyes were red.
After the sound of gold, if you don't retreat, it is a violation of military law and you will be killed. Cao Ren governed the army very strictly, and no one ever escaped military law.
But at this time, seeing that "Cao Ren" was besieged in the enemy formation, he could not be saved. The captain couldn't do it, so with red eyes, the captain said loudly: "Don't worry about the city, go in and save the general." ”
"Save the General." Fifteen hundred people let out another roar, and the overwhelming roar seemed to have a strong deterrent effect.
The encirclement of Sergeant Liu was slightly separated.
"Kill." Seeing that he was about to approach the besieged "Cao Ren", the captain was pleasantly surprised, shouted, took the lead, and killed in the formation.
"The shaft is hateful." At the head of the city, Hong Kang saw it clearly, and scolded with red eyes. Immediately, Hong Kang shouted: "Order the soldiers to be on guard, how many strong men are also sent to the head of the city, ready to defend the city." ”
"No." Although judging from the scene, it was clear that our army had the upper hand, and the soldiers did not understand the purpose of Hong Kang's order, but the soldiers still agreed loudly and quickly issued Hong Kang's order.
Suddenly, the entire Wancheng City was boiling. In addition to the remaining 500 soldiers, there were some strong men who went up to the city.
It doesn't matter if these strong men can defend the city, it's good to make up the numbers.
Hong Kang didn't care about the changes around him, just stared at the bottom of the city.
At this moment, the 1,000 and hundreds of people under the city under the leadership of the captain entered the encirclement of Liu Jun, and were slowly fighting the remnants of "Cao Ren" who were besieged in it.
Morale was high, but no one noticed that the encirclement was slowly closing after they entered it. This is an obvious pitfall.
And it's a very common trap.
Hong Kang's heart sank little by little. However, Hong Kang did not give up all hope in his heart, he now hoped that the remnants of the Cao army besieged in that formation were the real Cao Ren.
If it is really Cao Ren, with Cao Ren's bravery, there is still hope to kill.
But what happened next did not go way to Hong Kang's expectations.
The captain was a very brave leader, and he killed countless people wherever he passed. Until his eyes were empty, he appeared in front of the remnants of "Cao Ren".
"Where's the general? Where's the general? The lieutenant was overjoyed and shouted repeatedly.
But he was greeted with a shot in the chest, and in the sound of a spear entering the flesh, the lieutenant only felt a pain in his chest and looked ahead in disbelief.
A man dressed in the same uniform as them plunged a spear into his chest.
This is like a signal, the soldiers who were originally besieged and slaughtered have all turned into brave enemies at this moment.
A frenzied slaughter unfolded.
This sudden change made Sergeant Cao, who came to save people, unable to turn around, and hundreds of people were killed in a moment. Drink and hate on the spot.
"Ah, it's a trap, these are not General Cao's army at all."
"Ahh How so. ”
was supposed to save people, but now he is trapped, and the captain who led the troops was killed in an instant, even if Cao Jun's quality is strong, at this moment, he can't help but panic.
Although there was a military Sima to prevent the army from resisting, the situation of being trapped in the death formation had already formed.
"Damn." At the head of the city, Hong Kang hammered the female wall heavily, and said two words from between his teeth.
"General, what now?" A soldier behind Hong Kang asked, this soldier was quite calm. But there was a blank in his eyes.
No matter how strong a soldier is, he is a soldier after all, and their degree of response to a crisis is almost zero.
"Defend the city." Hong Kang opened his blood-red eyes and said.
"Woohoo." At the head of the city, a whining horn sounded suddenly, and in front of Hong Kang, there was only a desperate bet to hold Wancheng and wait for reinforcements who didn't know when they would arrive.
Under the city, although those Cao troops were very brave in resisting, no one surrendered. But Liu Bei's army is also very brave.
And he is very confident, and he is in a favorable situation, and under the leadership of his own general, he is very brave.
Soon, of the 1,500 Cao army, only a few dozen people were killed. Those dozens of people were also quickly attacked by Guan Yu and hated the battlefield.
"Hahaha, Wancheng is here." Liu Bei, who was hiding at the end of the army and was side by side with Zhuge Liang, looked at Cao Jun who was washed in blood, and let out continuous laughter.
It is full of high spirits and exuberance.
Why can't Liu Bei laugh? According to intelligence, the defenders of Wancheng also had only 2,000 people, and now about 1,500 people have died here.
What can a city with only four or five hundred troops left to defend it? You can break in from anywhere.
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei, who was laughing wildly, and did not disturb him. He can understand Liu Bei's mood, he has escaped for a lifetime, and he has been aggrieved for a lifetime.
Now there's finally a chance to make a comeback.
"Send the order to General Guan, repair it for the time being, and wait for General Zhao to escort the siege equipment over." Zhuge Liang ordered.
"No." A promise sounded next to him, and immediately a soldier walked towards Guan Yu.
Zhao Yun's cavalry numbered 300 people, and this time they also followed. However, the cavalry was not suitable for the strategy used this time, so Zhuge Liang was left by the water to take care of the warship.
Just when Liu Bei looked at Wancheng and looked up to the sky and laughed. Just when Zhuge Liang looked at Wancheng with a smile on his face.
In the distance, a rider came from the dust.
"Report to the lord, a huge fleet of ships has been found in the south of the water, numbering no less than five or six thousand people. General Zhao is currently leading 300 men from his headquarters to fight against him. ”
"What?" Whether it was Liu Bei who was laughing wildly in the sky, or Zhuge Liang who was smiling on his face, the smile on his face was frozen in an instant.
