"Who dares to stop?" Liu Pan held up the golden order, strode to the top of the city, and cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge.
boom--
At the same time as the city gate opened, the suspension bridge also crashed down, bouncing on the river and filled with dust.
"Cai Maoxiu, go away——"
Before the suspension bridge was secure, Zhao Yun couldn't wait. He changed his horse and waited. He urged his horse onto the suspension bridge and rushed into the city.
"Han Sheng, follow up!" Liu Qi hurriedly asked Huang Zhong to follow and protect him.
Zhao Yun was completely berserk at this time, even more terrifying than Changbanpo. With another 300 personal guards following him, Cai Mao was definitely dead this time.
Liu Qi then entered the city, and Liu Pan had already taken control of the west gate. Knowing that Liu Bei had been killed, he sighed: "My lord has been sleeping so long that he almost missed the important event."
"It's quite timely!" Liu Qi ordered Wang Wei to defend the city. Wenpin led the troops to persuade the defenders to surrender, and he and Liu Pan led the troops to the government office.
At this time, Zhao Yun had already taken the lead and headed straight to the north gate. He stared at Cai Mao who was running on the top of the city on the street and shouted: "The dog thief is here to die!"
Cai Mao was so frightened that he lost his mind. Seeing Zhao Yun's horse speed, he threw away his helmet and armor and ran wildly, shouting for soldiers to intercept him.
The North Gate guard was Cai Xun. When he saw Zhao Yun chasing him single-handedly, he said angrily: "You want to kill my eldest brother alone? That's too much!"
He immediately led his soldiers down to the city, crossed his horse and raised his sword, met Zhao Yun, and said with a ferocious smile: "It's so big..."
puff--
Before he finished speaking, his sword was still in mid-air when Zhao Yun raised his hand and stabbed him with a spear. Only an afterimage was seen, and it penetrated his chest.
Zhao Yun shook his wrist and threw Cai Xun's body high. The bright silver spear danced like a snake. In the blink of an eye, all the soldiers in the street fell to the ground.
"Fire the arrow, fire the arrow quickly!" Zhang Yun roared, ordering the defenders to stop Zhao Yun from going up to the city, and helped Cai Mao continue to escape towards the east gate.
Zhao Yun urged his horse through the streets and alleys. Wherever he passed, any defenders who intercepted him were swept away by him with his guns, and their figures flew around like autumn wind sweeping leaves.
As soon as they reached the entrance of Dongjiekou, Cai He, who was guarding the east gate, came to rescue him. Seeing Zhao Yun approaching, he quickly ordered his soldiers to guard the streets and shoot arrows to stop him.
Suddenly arrows were fired in the streets, and Zhao Yun was trapped among them. He danced with his spear to deflect the arrows, but his mount could not protect him and he fell to the ground after being hit by the arrows.
Zhao Yun was not afraid, jumped off his horse, and continued to charge forward with his spear dancing. Cai He was shocked and ordered his soldiers to form a formation to block the entrance of the alley.
"Hahaha, okay, kill him quickly!" Zhang Yun saw it on the city, held onto the battlements and laughed ferociously, "I see you are alone... Uh-huh -"
The laughter didn't stop when suddenly an arrow flew from the city and hit him right between the eyebrows. He screamed and fell down.
Cai Mao saw the white beard of the man who fired the arrow, and it was Huang Zhong who was chasing him. Knowing that this man was an expert in archery, he hurriedly ran away, hid in the tower, and ordered the soldiers to open the city.
At this time, Zhao Yun had already strode to the front of the formation, shouted loudly, and swept the bright silver spear like an angry dragon through his mind.
There was a loud bang, and several shields in front of him were shattered. The defenders screamed and fell to the ground, and several people flew backwards.
"Block it, block it quickly!" Cai He, who was directing, was shocked.
Seeing the pursuers arriving from behind, he turned his horse and fled out of the east gate with Cai Mao who was going down to the city.
By the time Huang Zhong arrived, Zhao Yun had already killed the intercepting defenders and snatched a horse. The two led their troops and chased them out of the city.
There is a road from the east gate that leads directly to Xian Mountain. Both sides are chasing each other. Zhao Yun stares at Cai Mao closely, his eyes are red. If it were his white dragon horse, he would have caught up and killed him.
Huang Zhong stretched his bow and arrows on his horse, and shot down several people one after another. This action reminded Zhao Yun, who hung his gun on the horse's back, took off his long bow and fired arrows.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and they only fired arrows at the soldiers blocking Cai Mao. It was like a competition, and all the arrows were fired without missing a beat, and countless corpses fell down along the way.
Hearing the screams, Cai Hao was so frightened that he lay on the horse and did not dare to look back, but the sound of horse hooves behind him became less and less.
Cai He looked back and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, the person is gone."
"Fart, I'm still alive... Uh-huh -"
Cai Mao was furious. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly twitched on his horse and his face was distorted. It turned out that he had been hit by an arrow in his buttocks.
Looking back, his face suddenly changed, and he saw that the soldiers dispersed to both sides. At this time, only his two brothers were left running for their lives, and the two bows behind them were aiming.
Seeing that the two men were looking at Cai Hao, Cai He shouted, "Brother, leave. I'll help you distract the enemy."
Without any explanation, he galloped towards the side road.
At the same time, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong fired arrows at the same time. The arrows were like shooting stars chasing the moon, heading straight for Cai Mao. Cai Mao hurriedly moved his horse to avoid them.
"ah--"
The law——
Screams and horses neighed at the same time. Zhao Yun's arrow hit Cai Mao's left rib, but Huang Zhong's arrow hit his mount's cheek.
With a thud, the war horse rolled and fell to the ground, knocking Cai Mao off and rolling two or three feet out of the soft yellow sand in early spring.
Cai Hao was so dizzy that he had stars in his eyes. He got up in a panic, and saw a dark figure rushing forward. He shouted hurriedly: "Don't kill me, I will give you whatever you want--"
puff--
A brilliant cold light flashed, Zhao Yun rode his horse past, raised his sword and dropped it, Cai Hao's head flew up.
Half of the body was kneeling in the wilderness, blood like a fountain, rushing into the sky from the neck, shining like fireworks in the setting sun.
Zhao Yun dismounted, picked up Cai Mao's head with a spear, knelt down facing west, and burst into tears: "My lord, Yun has avenged you!"
The three hundred guards also chased and killed them separately. They were all Liu Bei's personal guards, Baijie soldiers. They had nowhere to vent their anger and killed all Cai Mao's followers and generals.
Not long after, everyone held up a head and captured Cai He alive. They all knelt down and worshiped.
Seeing the pile of heads in front of him, Cai He was so frightened that he peeed and passed out.
Huang Zhong watched quietly from the side with a complicated expression.
Liu Qi originally wanted to save Liu Bei and ask him to deal with Cai Mao, but he didn't expect it to end like this. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
After a long while, Zhao Yun calmed down, wiped his tears and stood up. He saw blood stains on his sleeves, and blood started to flow from the corners of his eyes at some point.
Huang Zhong sighed in his heart, stepped forward and pointed at Cai He: "This man is Cai He, Cai Mao's younger brother. I also ask the general to take action."
Zhao Yun looked blank, understanding that Huang Zhong's arrow just now was to fulfill him, he paused and then said: "Take him back and hand him over to the eldest son."
Huang Zhong couldn't help but marvel at how Zhao Yun could remain so calm under extreme grief and anger. What kind of determination was this?
Killing Cai Mao would be regarded as revenge for the great vengeance. As for how to deal with the Cai family, it was left to Liu Qi to decide. This was also in compliance with Liu Bei's orders and Liu Qi's decision-making was the main one.
The Cai Mao brothers had been defeated and there was no decent opponent in the city. Zhao Yun carried Cai Mao's head and carried Liu Bei's body to the river.
Huang Zhong ordered Cai He to be put on a horse and escorted back to the city. Along the way, he recalled all the changes in Liu Qi and was very pleased.
Liu Pan originally intended to protect Liu Qi, but Liu Qi had been ill and had a cowardly temperament. He was bullied by Cai and did not dare to resist. Seeing that it was difficult to achieve anything, he was ostracized by Cai Mao. Frustrated, he simply resigned and returned to You County.
This time, Liu Qi had just recovered from a serious illness and secretly asked Liu Pan to go to Xiangyang to fight against the Cai family. All arrangements were calm and measured, and he took advantage of every opportunity. If Liu Bei hadn't escaped privately and had an accident, everything would have been under control.
Looking at Cai He who was about to fall unconscious, Huang Zhong caressed his beard and sighed: "When heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a man, he must first strain his mind and body, and he will benefit from what he cannot do..."
