――――――

"Don't hurt my lord, Xu Chu is here!"

On the periphery of the valley, Xu Chu broke off his drink, wielding and agitating with a nine-ring iron-backed war knife in his hand, and the big green dragon under his crotch galloped with his hooves raised, and slaughtered out of the plank road with great momentum, and went straight to the Cao army besieged in the valley to kill the generals.

He was followed by two generals, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, as well as more than 50 Jinjia soldiers.

In addition, Xu Chu and his entourage of fifty-five horses were also Li Li's mount, the Golden Lion Beast King.

"Roar!"

With an earth-shattering roar of the Beast King, the Golden Lion Beast King jumped over the Great Green Dragon and rampaged to lead the way for Xu Chu and the others.

At this moment, the Cao army soldiers who were congested on the periphery of the valley were more and denser than before, with tens of thousands of horses, blocking the entrance of the valley and the plank road so that the needle could not be inserted and the water could not be splashed, and it was tight. Countless soldiers of the Cao army rushed into the plank road as if they were not afraid of death, and desperately rushed to the valley mouth, which made Xu Chu and others encounter the most violent resistance, and they were blocked from running, and they fell far behind Li Li, which caused Li Li to rush into the valley alone.

Fortunately, the soldiers of Cao Jun had no intention of fighting, and rushed out of the valley to escape, so as to give Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and others the opportunity to kill into the valley. Under the condition that the soldiers of the Cao army were not entangled and did not love war, they finally broke through the plank road and fought into the valley to support the lord Li Li, who was fighting alone.

Even so, Xu Chu and others still paid a heavy price for casualties. After a battle in the two-hundred-meter plank road, there were originally a hundred Jinjia soldiers. Nearly half of it has been lost, and only fifty-two people remain, plus Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang. At the moment, only fifty-five of them rushed into the valley to rescue Li Li.

At the same time that Xu Chu and others entered the valley, thousands of Cao soldiers who besieged Li Li in the middle of the valley wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, but Li Li was extremely brave, and the Jinqi war knife in his hand was like a death sickle ruthlessly harvesting Cao Bing's life, and in just a few moments, more than 200 Cao soldiers died tragically under the blade.

Facing the fierce god-like Li Li and the life-seeking knife in his hand. Many Cao soldiers did not dare to come forward to fight, for fear of losing their lives, and they could not retreat and escape without authorization. Dilemma, hesitating not knowing what to do. At this time, more than a dozen Cao soldiers, who were timid and looking around, accidentally spotted the figure of the "lord Cao Cao", and saw that their "lord" was interspersed in the crowd. Even crawling and rolling, without any image, fled to the Taniguchi plank road. Trying to follow the army pouring into the boardwalk to rush out of the valley.

saw more than a dozen Cao soldiers who had secretly escaped from their own lord, and immediately followed behind "Cao Cao" without thinking, and ran away; In this way, there are two for one, and there are three for two, and then it spreads rapidly. As a result, the encirclement around Li Li became smaller and smaller, and the previous three or four thousand Cao troops were quickly reduced to more than a thousand,??? 1,000, 800??? Five hundred. A moment later. Only the more than 300 Cao soldiers who fought Li Li head-on in the inner circle were still stupidly fighting bloodily, and the others all poured into the valley plank road. Ran for your life.

Even the "Lord Cao Cao" in a dark red robe sneakily took the lead in running away, is it still necessary for these Cao soldiers who besieged Li Li to risk their lives to fight bloodily?

Nowadays, the reason why most soldiers choose to join the army to fight is nothing more than to eat with their mouths. If the soldiers had to feed their families while filling their stomachs, it would be considered lucky, and many soldiers would not hesitate to risk their own lives for this. However, in the face of death, starvation and cold, how many soldiers are still loyal to their lord or "Cao Cao"? For this question, I am afraid that all the princes in the world do not know, and they have no bottom in their hearts, and all the soldiers who joined the army and fought cannot speak clearly; This also includes Li Li.

In troubled times, everyone is struggling to survive, and they are desperate for a family to be able to fill their stomachs. There are not many soldiers who are truly loyal to their respective princes, but there are not many of them, and most of them go to the battlefield for themselves and their families. In this environment and background, following the strong is undoubtedly the common choice of most soldiers; If the battle is defeated, it is not that there are no soldiers who would really die rather than surrender; Surrender or flight is the inevitable choice of most soldiers, and it is reasonable and understandable.

Right now, that's exactly what happened in the valley south of Feiyundu. Tens of thousands of Cao troops were trapped in the valley, repeatedly breaking through the siege but repeatedly frustrated, which made the determination and courage of the Cao army soldiers to fight to the death frustrated again and again, morale was low, the morale of the army was shaken, the people's hearts were scattered, and the panic could not be spent all day. Li Li rode into the valley alone, which was originally a good opportunity to turn around and turn the tables, but unexpectedly, most of the main generals of the Cao army were captured, and the commander Cao Cao never dared to stand up and lead the army to fight back, which made many middle and low-level generals at a loss, thus affecting the whole army, and the people were panicked and chaotic.

Now, seeing the commander "Cao Cao" sneaking away without saying a word, many Cao soldiers in the valley followed suit and poured into the valley plank road. As a result, the Cao army, which still has no less than 20,000 soldiers, will have no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit, and will completely lose the courage to fight to the death.

――――――

"Da Da Da!"

"Roar ???"

As the Cao soldiers in the valley poured into the plank road, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang led dozens of Jinjia soldiers to rush into the valley smoothly, and galloped in front of Li Li. And the Golden Lion Beast King, who has always been known for his speed, was even more unwilling, and appeared in front of Li Li like lightning, and leaned down with a low roar, allowing Li Li to sit on his back again.

"Is the lord okay?"

"The last general was incompetent and failed to protect the safety of the lord, so that the lord was besieged. The last general will ask for sin, please punish the Lord! ”

The moment the horse galloped in front of Li Li, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang didn't care about stopping at the horse, so they immediately made a quick accusation, lest Li Li make a mistake.

"Hehehe!" Li Li jumped on the back of the Golden Lion Beast King with his sword, and laughed loudly: "Wenyuan, Zhongkang, and Gongming don't have to blame themselves, and they don't need to worry about my safety!" I think I, Li Li, went to the battlefield when I was more than ten years old, and after hundreds of battles, I have always been the one who kills, who can kill me! ”

“??? In the battle of Feiyundu tonight, don't look at the strength of the Cao army, but they are frightened birds, turtles in the urn, even if there are tens of thousands of people, they are not afraid. What's more, these Cao soldiers were full of thoughts about rushing out of the valley and escaping for their lives, and they had no intention of fighting at all. Therefore, it seems that I am riding alone into the valley this time, but in fact, it is thrilling and dangerous, and I can come and go freely. Originally, I wanted to use my body as bait to lure Cao Cao to show up and create an illusion for him that as long as I captured and killed my Li Li, I could get out of trouble safely, but I didn't expect Cao Thief to be as timid as a mouse and never showed up. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li shook his head in disappointment, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhang Liao and Xu Chu: "Has Wen Yuan ever found traces of the Cao thief?" Zhong Kang and Gongming rushed all the way to kill, did they ever see Cao thief in a red robe? ”

"Ugh! This??? The last general did not pay attention to the trace of the thief. Xu Chu and Xu Huang were stunned when they heard this, and immediately shook their heads lightly.

"My lord, if the red-robed Cao Jiang who appeared in front of the battle before is really a Cao thief, the last general will see it." Zhang Liaogong reported.

"Oh? Wen Yuan quickly reported, where is the thief now? ”

Zhang Liao turned around when he heard the sound and pointed to Cao Jun, who was crowded a hundred meters away from the plank road: "Look, the red-robed general standing on the rocks of the plank road and looking at the valley mouth may be the Cao Cao that the lord is looking for." On the way to the valley led by the last general and Zhong Kang just now, they accidentally caught a glimpse of him, but unfortunately tens of thousands of Cao troops poured into the plank road at that time, which was too crowded, so that even if the last general had the intention to kill him, he couldn't reach it. Just ????"

"It's just what, Wen Yuan seems to have something to say? Wen Yuan wants to say something, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Zhang Liao nodded when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the red-robed general Cao on the plank road: "Don't hide it from the lord, when the last general served under Ding Yuan's assassination in the early years, he was ordered to go to Luoyang to recruit soldiers and horses for the then general He Jin, and at that time he had several encounters with Cao Cao. Cao Cao is about seven feet six inches tall, with a square face, although his appearance is not outstanding, but he is also thoughtful, and he often has a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, especially his small but extremely divine eyes are impressive. He is burly, quite strong, with a slight fat lower abdomen, and he walks with a dragon and tiger step, quite majestic. In addition, the last general heard that Cao Cao liked his beautiful beard and had a beard more than an inch long under his chin, and he often brushed his beard to appreciate himself. ”

“??? Yes, although the person who appeared in front of the battle just now was dressed very much like Cao Cao and his body was similar to Cao Cao, his body was slightly thin, and the suit of battle armor seemed to be a little big on him, and the red tasseled helmet was also very large, covering most of his cheeks, and his behavior was very suspicious. The most surprising thing for the last general was that the man did not seem to have a long beard, and his walking posture was very different from Cao Cao's, and he did not have the majesty of a superior at all. Also, if he was really Cao Cao, then why did he not have a mount when he went out to shout, but went into battle on foot?

These suspicions made the last general suspect that this red-robed Cao Jiang was not Cao Cao himself, but a stand-in who deliberately attracted the attention of the lord and me, or a substitute ghost found by Cao Cao, to lure us to stare at him closely, thus giving the real Cao Cao a chance to escape from the valley. ”

"Huh?" Li Li's voice changed, his sword eyebrows furrowed in an instant, and his eyes showed a sudden feeling: "No wonder I vaguely feel that something is wrong, it turns out that this red-robed Cao Jiang is an impostor, a substitute ghost deliberately pushed out by Cao Thief to divert our attention!" In this way, Cao Cao did not show up from beginning to end, and took off his armor and battle robe early for his generals to put on, while he himself wore the armor of ordinary foot soldiers, hiding among the foot soldiers in an attempt to catch his eyes, waiting for an opportunity to rush out of the valley mouth to escape. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's expression suddenly changed: "Not good! Taniguchi??? Wenyuan, how is the battle situation in Taniguchi now? ”

"Ahh Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard this, and his face was slightly pale and he didn't dare to look up at Li Li: "Taniguchi??? The last general also didn't know what the battle was like at Taniguchi. But??? At present, more than 20,000 Cao troops are pouring into the plank road, how can the more than 300-step Gukou plank road accommodate so many soldiers and horses? Therefore, if ??? As expected, Cao Jun should have broken through the valley mouth by now and rushed to the official road. ”
