Chapter 633: The war is fierce and the soldiers are in danger
It is said that Cao Ang led 800 cavalry, like thundering tigers and leopards, heading straight to the gate of Runan City. On the city, Yang Feng saw Cao Ang's golden helmet and Jueying, and saw the guard general Dian Wei showing off his power below the city. He couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking that Cao Cao was coming in person.
Han Xian was discouraged and fled, but Yang Feng decided to take a risk. If he could defeat Cao Mengde in one battle, he would be remembered in history. Such opportunities were rare. Now Cao Cao underestimated the enemy and came to demonstrate with only a small number of troops and horses, and also sent a letter persuading him to surrender. Yang Feng just carried out the plan of pretending to surrender.
As the night fell, Dian Wei saw that no one was fighting in the city, so he had already lost his spirit. He threw away his steel knife, took off his armor, and sat naked in front of the battle to rest. Seeing that Cao's army was slacking off, Cao Ang ordered the sergeants to dismount and rest, and lit torches one after another to prepare for the follow-up troops to attack the city. Yang Feng took off his robes and armor, rode a white horse with his bare hands, raised a white flag, opened the city gate a crack, walked out of the city alone and shouted to the torch light on the opposite side: "Prime Minister! General Dian! Stop shooting arrows, I, Yang Feng, are willing to surrender." !”
Cao Ang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately got on his horse, preparing to welcome Yang Feng's return. If he captured Runan without any bloodshed, he would naturally be very proud in front of his father and brothers. Dian Wei looked at Yang Feng approaching with glaring eyes, and said angrily: "Yang Feng, why didn't the day fall earlier?"
Yang Feng quickly turned over and dismounted, indicating that he had no weapons with him. With a smile on his face, he slowly approached and said: "I heard the Prime Minister's name like thunder, and I have admired him for a long time. I also read the Prime Minister's letter urging him to surrender, and he really expressed his heartfelt surrender. I mean. However, Han Siam refused to surrender and almost fought with me on the spot. Now that I have driven Han Siam out of Runan, I can restrain the troops in the city and get a chance to leave the city and surrender."
After saying that, he knelt down in the light of the torch, looked at Cao Ang's golden helmet in the distance and said, "Could it be that the one with the golden helmet and horse in front of me is the Prime Minister who is coming in person? I, Yang Feng, am not talented, and I am willing to surrender and serve the Prime Minister! Please allow me to do so."
After saying that, Yang Feng knocked his head heavily on the ground, looking really sincere. Dian Wei laughed loudly and said: "You surrendered before fighting, you Yang Feng can be regarded as a surrendering general!" Yang Feng was ridiculed by Dian Wei, his face changed, he lay on the ground and did not get up, just waiting for Cao Cao to speak.
Cao Ang drove his horse forward and said proudly: "General Yang Feng, look up and see clearly that I am Cao Zixiu, Marquis Fengyao of the Han Dynasty and the young leader of the Qingzhou Army. How can my father come in person if you are an unknown general?" You have gained some insights after reading the surrender letter, and sincerely surrendered, you can be regarded as a wise man who understands the current affairs."
Yang Feng was slightly disappointed in his heart, but seeing Cao Ang's heroic face, he thought that although this plan could not kill Cao Cao, it would be worth killing Cao Cao's eldest son. He immediately lay on the ground and shouted: "Young Master! I, Yang Feng, must surrender." Sincerely! There is absolutely no falsehood at all!"
Seeing Yang Feng kneeling on the ground, Cao Ang felt quite sincere. He thought for a moment and said, "Yang Feng, if you are sincere, open the city gate quickly, let your troops throw down their weapons from the city, and let our army enter the city."
Yang Feng did not hesitate, and immediately turned around and shouted: "The defenders on the city heard the truth, quickly throw down their weapons from the city and open the city gate!"
After the words fell, in the blink of an eye, the defenders on the city began to throw away their steel knives, bows and arrows and went down to the city. The weapons fell like raindrops on the moat under the city, splashing a large amount of water. The Runan city gate opened slowly with a continuous sound, revealing the city gate hole. deep darkness.
Yang Feng turned around and saw Cao Ang looking happy, and immediately said: "Young Master, please follow me into the city. From now on, Runan will belong to the Cao family."
Cao Ang was slightly startled. Although he was supposed to enter the city and follow Yang Feng to take over Runan, he still felt that something was wrong. However, Cao Ang did not want his subordinates to see that he did not dare to enter the city, and was told that he had no courage. Seeing Dian Wei standing aside like a black iron tower, he rolled his eyes and had an idea, and shouted: "General Dian Wei! I order you to protect General Yang Feng personally, order a hundred soldiers and horses, and follow me into the city to receive Runan."
Dian Wei understood and knew that Cao Ang was not yet at ease with Yang Feng, so he ordered himself to restrain Yang Feng to prevent him from causing trouble midway. Although Dian Wei is of average intelligence, he still understands this point.
Dian Wei was not polite and lifted Yang Feng up from the ground, like an eagle catching a chicken, and lifted him up in front of Cao Ang. Cao Ang dismounted proudly, as if he wanted to look down on all the heroes in the world, and accepted Yang Feng's surrender flag in front of Jueying. Cao Ang raised the white flag that symbolized Runan City high. The soldiers understood this and cheered like a tsunami: "Young Master is mighty!"
Cao Angzhi was so proud that he saw Yang Feng lying obediently beside Dian Wei like a human being. No longer doubting his presence, he turned over and jumped onto Jueying. He drew his sword and said, "Yang Feng leads the way! The army enters the city quickly."
Cao Ang led the troops forward, and a few light cavalry moved backwards, heading straight to Cao Cao's camp to report the news. At this moment, Cao Cao knew that Cao Ang was going to fight, and was about to personally lead the army to respond. Suddenly, he heard that Yang Feng had left the city and surrendered, and his attitude was humble. Cao Ang had led the army deep, and he couldn't help but take a breath of air. Standing next to him was military advisor Cheng Yu. The two looked at each other and saw that the other was worried. Cao Cao said anxiously: "Quickly ask Cao Xiu to lead all the tiger and leopard cavalry and follow me to attack! Later, I will ask General Cao Hong to lead the army to attack. Assist.”
The military camp of Cao Hong's troops is the closest to Runan City and is the main force planned to attack the city. As soon as he finished speaking, his subordinates had already brought Cao Cao's war horse Hui Ying over. The generals guarding him on the left and right were Cao Xiu, the deputy commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Xia Houmao, the young general.
Eight hundred tigers and leopards rode away first. Cheng Yu urged the army to press forward. Cao Hong, who received the news, also quickly sent troops to move closer to the south wall of Runan. Cao Cao was so anxious that he kept mounting his horse. Cao Xiu and Xiahou Mao were on guard left and right to prevent the enemy's hidden arrows from hurting anyone. The tiger and leopard riding arrows rolled through Ping Gang and arrived at the gate of Runan City in the blink of an eye.
Xiahou Mao, named Zilin, was from Qiao County, Pei State. He was the son of Xiahou Yuan, the general who conquered the west. He was the son of Xiahou Dun, the general who conquered the east since childhood. He was also Cao Cao's clan nephew. At this moment, Xiahou Mao was tall, young, talented, handsome, and good at martial arts. His father was the powerful general Xiahou Dun, so he was very popular with Cao Cao. He wanted to recruit Xiahou Mao as his son-in-law, so he took Xiahou Mao with him. By his side, he wanted to make him achieve military success. Xia Houmao used to use a steel spear and ride a yellow gelding horse every day. He liked to wear a black helmet, black armor and black robes. The sergeants privately called him the "yellow horse and black robe" general.
The tiger and leopard cavalry came to the gate of Runan City. Cao Cao struggled with his right arm, and the gray shadow immediately stopped suddenly, stood up with a scream, and stopped by the moat suspension bridge. The black-armored tigers and leopards behind them all reined in their horses and came to a sudden stop, all demonstrating excellent horse control skills. The rumble of hoofbeats quickly disappeared, and silence immediately fell beside the suspension bridge.
The city gate of Runan City is now wide open, and in the dark doorway, a few crows can be seen vaguely, without making any sound. Cao Cao stood stunned for a moment, the gentle wind blowing in front of his face, the moat made a few waves, and a thick smell of blood drifted over with the wind. This was the fresh smell of human blood. Cao Cao had been on the battlefield for a long time, so what? I don’t know.
Cao Cao was confused in his heart, so he drew out the Yitian Sword from his waist, and when he mentioned the war horse, the gray figure was also a good horse, and he was about to leap into the dark city gate with a single leap. Cao Xiu and Xia Houmao secretly screamed that something was wrong. One picked up the steel spear and the other picked up the long spear, and quickly guarded behind Cao Cao. The tiger and leopard cavalry were well-trained and immediately formed a small team, following the two generals, from the city gate hole. Followed in.
The distance of tens of meters passed in an instant, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, a war horse was heard neighing brightly and ran out of the city. When Cao Cao looked intently, he couldn't help but screamed, and almost stumbled off the gray shadow.
Jueying, the once unparalleled first-class war horse, was now hit by several arrows and running towards Cao Cao precariously, seeming to be recounting the hellish experience just now. There was a shining eagle-feathered arrow stuck in Jueying's right eye, which was now turned red and black with blood. There was no one on the horse. Cao Cao shouted loudly: "Where is my son!" Although the shouting was loud, it was insignificant. The man responded, and there was only heavy breathing, chaotic hooves, and suffocating silence in the air.
