"Uncle, there is news."
At this time, Xia Houen ran in again and said hurriedly: "Someone is setting fire to a large scale to cause chaos outside. The city is in chaos, and the people are putting out the fire indiscriminately."
"Just setting fire?"
Cao Cao asked.
"It's just a fire for now."
Xiahou En said.
They knew that if Guan Yu and others wanted to save Liu Bei, they would not come directly to rescue him. After all, they would not have any advantage if they directly rescued Liu Bei. They would definitely create all kinds of chaos in the city and distract the city's attention.
For this reason, Cao Cao has already had a plan to deal with such emergencies.
Even if some people are assigned to put out the fire and stop the unrest in the city, their strength is still enough.
When he heard that there was a fire in the city and the people were in chaos, he did not panic and said: "Assign some people to put out the fire and maintain order."
"yes!"
Xia Houen responded and immediately ran out to make arrangements.
Cao Cao put on a cloak, walked out of the gate and looked outside. He saw that there were indeed flashes of fire in the night sky, and he really set fire to the city.
"Father, aren't you worried that our family has been burned?"
Cao Ang said worriedly.
Cao Cao said calmly: "They don't dare to do this yet. There are still many ministers in the city. Dong Cheng doesn't dare to burn it, and neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei. There are also many people in Xudu. If it is really burned, , even if Liu Bei is rescued, his benevolence and righteousness will be gone. They just burn down some places where there are not many people, create chaos and attract our attention! "
Xu Du will not be burned, and it is impossible to be burned.
Otherwise, the officials in the city would not allow them to save Guan Yu and leave.
The consequences are more serious.
Cao Ang understood and continued to wait calmly.
——
Guan Yu knew that even if there was a trap ahead, he must jump.
He was the one to carry out the task of rescuing Liu Bei tonight, and a large number of troops gathered by Dong Cheng and others were also taken away by him. However, Dong Cheng and the others also knew that if they were still in the city after tonight, they would definitely die.
They didn't want to die, so they could only wait at home for Chen Gong's plan to come true.
As long as the plan succeeds, they still have a chance to live. If it fails, they will all die together. They are a hundred times more anxious and nervous than Cao Cao.
Those troops, pushing carts filled with straw, rushed towards the palace gate.
"Archery!"
Xia Houyuan shouted loudly.
When Ma Chao saw this, he also ordered to shoot arrows.
The soldiers hiding on the roof ridges drew their bows and shot arrows at those tribes.
The arrow rain fell rapidly and continuously.
Those troops had no shields and could only use carts as a defense, but many people were still killed by arrows.
When someone falls, someone else immediately takes over.
Guan Yu, who had shaved his beard, mixed in the crowd, raised a long bow and shouted: "Go on, speed up!"
This batch of songs is almost their cannon fodder.
Specially responsible for sending someone to death.
However, they were also willing to die as cannon fodder, pushing the cart forward without fear of death, and quickly approached Liu Bei.
Xu Chu was about to give the order to lead his troops out to intercept and kill him.
"Wait a minute."
Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "Wait until they get in and then surround them."
He also passed this idea on to Xia Houyuan.
They also agreed to do this, and ordered them all to be released, allowing Guan Yu to save people, and then encircle and intercept them. Now they let the archers draw their bows to wear down the enemy.
"quick!"
Guan Yu drank.
At this time, no one came out to intercept, and their advance speed accelerated.
The two carts first came under Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had already passed out, but was awakened by the sound of killing. He opened his eyes slightly and was deeply relieved to see that Guan Yu finally brought someone to save him.
Guan Yu still has his own feelings in his heart.
"Yun Chang!"
He used all his strength and shouted.
The voice was very weak, but Guan Yu could hear it. He raised his head, glanced at Liu Bei, and shouted: "Brother, I'm here to save you!"
After saying this, he drew his bow and shot an arrow.
The tip of the arrow broke through the air and broke the rope hanging Liu Bei.
boom!
Liu Bei fell down and landed on the haystack of the cart below.
Bu Qu next to the cart helped Liu Bei up, pulled out several shields from the cart, protected Liu Bei, and dragged Liu Bei towards Guan Yu.
Guan Yu dropped his long bow, and the two men beside him brought up his Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
"Protect brother, follow me and kill him!"
Guan Yu roared angrily.
The long knife hung down, and the blade dragged across the ground. He took the lead and walked at the front.
The archers on the roof continued to draw their bows and shoot.
Those pieces fell down in pieces.
Guan Yu swung his sword to knock down the rain of arrows and strode forward.
The troops who protected Liu Bei tightly with shields followed Guan Yu quickly.
Everyone, at this moment, launched a breakout.
"Surround!"
Seeing this, Ma Chao understood that it was almost possible to fight hand to hand.
As long as they intercept and kill Guan Yu here, it will be a huge achievement.
The archers on the roof finally finished shooting their arrows.
They lowered their bows, drew their swords, descended from the ridge, and joined the infantry.
The nearby soldiers then appeared and intercepted and killed Guan Yu and the others. The soldiers held up torches one by one to illuminate, then stuck the torches on the ground, and faced Guan Yu and the others with murderous intent.
Xu Chu picked up the thick-backed sword, and together with Ma Chao, went to kill Guan Yu.
The two of them were arranged here to deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As for the leader of the cavalry, he was not in the city. Chen Zhou and Cao Cao predicted that he must be outside the city.
Let Lao Dian take charge of this master.
"wrong."
Ma Chao was about to take action, but in the dim environment, he looked for Zhang Fei's figure.
Xu Chu fought against Guan Yu, Ma Chao fought against Zhang Fei.
Two Xiahou generals were assisting at the side.
This was a plan determined early in the morning.
Ma Chao only saw Guan Yu. Even in low light, Guan Yu was particularly obvious. Logically speaking, Zhang Fei, who was equally tall, was also very obvious.
However, he quickly scanned it and couldn't see Zhang Fei.
"Miaocai, something is wrong!"
Ma Chao frowned.
Xia Houyuan asked: "What's wrong?"
"There is only Guan Yu here, not Zhang Fei."
Ma Chao said with some uneasiness: "Immediately have someone go back and tell the lord that Zhang Fei is unknown, so be vigilant and alert in advance."
If Liu Guan and Zhang were here, then everything would be fine.
But Zhang Fei is not here, so the enemy must have other plans.
Ma Chao believed that their plan to save Liu Bei was not that simple.
You must know that Liu Bei has Chen Gong who provides suggestions. Chen Gong must have many ideas for tonight's rescue plan.
Xia Houyuan understood Ma Chao's concerns and thought it was reasonable.
"As long as we take down Liu Bei and Guan Yu, we are not afraid of what Zhang Fei will do or have other plans." Xia Houyuan shouted.
That's right.
Ma Chao shouted: "Kill!"
Xu Chu had already rushed forward and fought with Guan Yu.
Their two blades collided fiercely, causing sparks to fly.
Xiahou Dun picked up a long spear and led more than 2,000 men under his command. When he was about to kill Guan Yu, there was a sound of turmoil outside the encirclement.
They looked back and saw more than a thousand people attacking from outside the siege.
