Chapter 524 Cao Cao arrives in person
It is said that Wenpin, the vanguard general of the Huangzhong Army, according to the military plan drawn up by Xi Zhicai in advance, crossed the Erlongshan Canyon before dawn. As long as he climbed over the Zhangjiachong Highlands in front, he would reach a flat plain before arriving at Queyue City. However, the expected late-night surprise attack was instead surrounded by an unknown army at the entrance of Erlong Valley. The vanguard of the Qinglong Army was almost trapped in a desperate situation due to falling rocks and rain of arrows.
Wenpin was truly a general, and he instantly locked the enemy's command post at the top of a hill where torches gathered at the mouth of the valley. Wenpin kicked off his horse, and three hundred knights passed through the valley mouth like a wind and clouds, and rushed to the top of the hill. The current battle situation was so dangerous, and only by capturing the thief first could they escape the annihilation of the entire vanguard of the Green Dragon Army.
The feather arrows were like ghosts piercing the sky, passing by Wenpin like meteors in the dark night, and they collided with the three-pointed two-edged sword intensively, bursting out small groups of sparks. The torch light was getting closer and closer in front of his eyes, and the feather arrows were getting denser and denser. Wenpin made an oversight and immediately inserted a few feather arrows into his body. Fortunately, none of them hurt his vitals. Just when the pressure doubled, guns and knives were flying around, helping Wenpin fight off the arrows. It was Wenxiu and Wenhou who arrived.
Three hundred knights, countless wounded by arrows, hit their horses like flying and crashed into the opponent's archer formation with a bang. The archers in black armor immediately collapsed and retreated towards both ends like a tide. The black-armored spearmen behind them who had been accumulating for a long time immediately rushed forward to block the gap, showing a well-trained military formation.
Those spearmen each held long spears and stabbed the horses' necks specifically. For a moment, the horses of three hundred knights stood up one after another, and their spears pierced the necks of the horses, bringing out a shower of blood. The pitiful neighing of war horses and the sound of falling to the ground were heard. The three fathers and sons of the Wen family pushed aside the grass-like spears in front of them and inserted them into the spear team like the tip of a wedge. Suddenly, Wen Hou's war horse let out a scream, and Wen Hou fell to the ground, throwing Wen Hou off the horse. Immediately, a group of short sword soldiers surrounded him like ants, drowning Wen Hou in an instant.
Wen Pin felt a pain in his heart. He knew that Wen Hou was destined to die or not. At this time, there was no room to look back. He roared wildly and used all his strength. The three-pointed and double-edged sword swept through thousands of troops. The black-armored spearmen were immediately bloody. , a circular empty space was swept out, Wenpin slapped the horse on the horse's butt hard with his sword, and the horse neighed wildly in pain, accelerated across the empty space, and then jumped into the air, passing over the group of spearmen in front of him, When he landed, the pressure eased. In front of him were no longer tangled spearmen, but heavy armor and horses, neatly arranged in front of the top of the mountain. The pure black vests shone with black luster under the torch light.
Wenpin jerked the reins of his horse, the horse neighed again, and he stood in front of the heavily armored horse. When the hoofs fell, a big black horse suddenly came out of the crowd. The firelight illuminated the silhouette of the general, and he could feel his shirt flying and his dark face. Wenpin opened his eyes desperately and finally saw clearly the attire of the general across from him. The man's armor was shining with golden luster. He should be wearing gold armor. The exquisite helmet was connected to the face protector, revealing only a pair of deep and wise big eyes. The war horse finally calmed down. Wenpin glanced behind him, but there was no one there.
The golden-armored general slightly controlled his horse and rushed forward, and said in a deep and deep voice: "The general is Wen Pin Wen Zhongye? They say that your three-pointed two-edged sword is unparalleled in the world. You are really brave to be able to kill here."
Wenpin snorted, and the arrow wounds on his shoulders and thighs immediately started to hurt. Wenpin wielded a horizontal, three-pointed, two-edged sword and shouted loudly: "The general will be named! A certain sword will not kill the unknown general!"
The golden-armored general laughed loudly and said: "Xi Zhi Cai is in name only. Chen Wenlong misemployed people, which led to General Wenpin ambushing me tonight. Why not surrender early?"
Wenpin was so angry that he struck the horse's belly with his stirrup, and stabbed the three-pointed two-edged sword straight out, right in front of the golden-armored general. The general did not dodge, and just as the tip of the knife was about to pierce his face, suddenly a large iron halberd stretched out from beside him, and the three-pointed and two-edged knife flew away with a clang.
Wenpin felt a surge of force and almost lost his hands with the three-pointed two-edged sword. The war horse stomped back a few steps before he stood firm. When I looked closely, I didn't know when there was a big man walking beside the knight in golden armor. The big man only wore a layer of leather armor, revealing his muscular arms. He held a pair of large iron halberds in his left and right hands, which looked like black in the dark. The face is evil.
Wenpin blurted out: "Dian Wei!" Chen Long had already described the generals around Cao Cao to his generals, and how could Wenpin not know about Dian Wei's iconic big iron halberd. After being shocked, Wenpin was suddenly startled and pointed at the knight in golden armor and said, "Could it be that you...are Cao Cao and Cao Mengde?"
The knight in golden armor laughed loudly and said: "So Zhongye also knows my name, Cao Mengde? Since you know that I am the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty, why not surrender early?"
Although Cao Cao admitted it himself, Wenpin was still in disbelief and muttered: "Nonsense! Meng De is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. How could he come to this dark night battlefield in person?"
Cao Cao laughed wildly again and said: "Who doesn't know that I, Cao Mengde, am most greedy for beauties and horses? I will fight and fight in person in my life! This time I have killed Xi Zhicai and Zhou Gongjin, and I vow to take the two of them and return!"
Wenpin finally believed that the knight in golden helmet in front of him was really Cao Cao. Cao Cao's name was like thunder in his ears. Wen Pin lamented in his heart that the Wen family's army was over. Only then did he understand the reason why Huang Zu was so confident. He reluctantly raised the three-pointed two-edged sword and said, "Thief Cao! Do you dare to fight me alone?"
Cao Cao looked at the battlefield behind Wenpin. Wenpin immediately noticed that the shouts of killing had calmed down, and he knew that his loyal 300 bodyguards were finished. Thinking that Wenhou and Wenxiu were both so young, Wenpin's blood surged up, and he raised his sword to hit the horse and rushed towards Cao Cao again.
The big iron halberd took action again. The left halberd held the blade, and the right halberd neatly cut off the horse's leg. Wenpin felt the horse sink, and immediately jumped away from the horse, wielding his sword and fighting with Dian Wei. Dian Wei was extremely powerful and was waiting for work. The two fought for more than ten rounds. Dian Wei summoned his power and danced like a black whirlwind with his big iron halberd. He knocked down the three-pointed two-edged sword in Wenpin's hand with one halberd, and the tip of his left halberd hit it. It stuck in Wenpin's throat. Wenpin was instantly petrified, and Dianwei ordered people to tie him up.
After they were separated, Wenhou and Wenxiu, who were tied with ropes, were also pushed out, and were pushed in front of Cao Cao together with Wenpin. It turned out that although Wenhou and Wenxiu were seriously injured, they were both captured alive by Cao's army. Cao Cao dismounted, came to the front of the three men, pressed the Yitian sword on his waist and said: "Zhongye, your two sons are so brave, I can't bear to kill them. Believe it or not, I will let you watch Huang Zhonghe's play no later than tomorrow. Zhicai's head. If you don't surrender by then, don't blame me for being merciless." As he spoke, he waved his hand and his men escorted the Wen family and his son down.
Cao Cao glanced at the sky that was about to turn white, turned to the chaotic Erlong Valley, and murmured to a knight on a horse in the darkness behind him: "There should be good news for Yuan Rang and Zhong Kang, right? "
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
