A dozen soldiers looked at each other, but for a moment, no one took action.
There is something called dead silence flowing in the air.
After a while.
"Clean up, let's go back"
Cao Yi put the bucket back into the well, took little Deng Ai's slightly trembling hand, and left the well.
When passing by more than a dozen soldiers, even though they were less than two inches away from the cold light of the spear tip, they did not show any signs of movement.
step,
two steps,
three steps,
Cao Yi and Xiao Deng Ai turned into a dozen sharp spears with their backs turned.
This made the dozen or so fearful soldiers determined.
Swish, brush, brush!
More than a dozen spears thrust forward at once, carrying all their strength with them.
Just when they were about to pierce through Xiao Deng Ai and Cao Yi, the spears in their hands became inoperable, as if they were frozen.
Suddenly, a steamed bun slipped from Xiao Deng Ai's arms and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Cao Yi bent over to pick up the steamed bun and handed it back to little Deng Ai: "You can still eat it after you peel it off, don't waste it!"
"Um"
Little Deng Ai nodded obediently.
"witchcraft"
"Go quickly"
…
One soldier ran away first.
Immediately afterwards, as if they were infected, the other soldiers ran away with a crash.
The six Qingzhou soldiers lying on the ground were all dumbfounded.
Cao Yi waved his sleeves, and the open door suddenly closed.
Seeing this scene, the six Qingzhou soldiers fell into inexplicable fear.
Cao Yi ignored them and took little Deng Ai back to the room.
Sit down, pick up the classics that were just placed on the table, and read them silently.
Little Deng Ai, kneeling on the other side of the table, wiped the dirty areas of the steamed buns clean by the dim light of the oil lamp, and ate them in small bites.
Time passed little by little, and the burning oil lamp kept making a crackling sound.
Outside, there were more and more footsteps. It was obvious that the place was heavily surrounded by Cao's army.
Little Deng Ai looked out from time to time, feeling extremely scared. He looked at Cao Yi who was reading seriously and wanted to speak, but he didn't dare.
About another quarter of an hour passed.
The door to the courtyard was pushed open, and an unusually majestic man wearing heavy armor carrying a cleaver walked in with a stern expression.
"general"
"general"
…
The six Qingzhou soldiers were overjoyed.
This stern-looking man didn't even look at the six Qingzhou soldiers. He pointed at the room stained with oil lamps and with the door half-opened, holding his sword and slaying sword, and asked: "Who is here?"
"Poverty"
A faint voice came from the room.
The stern-looking man froze for a moment, then showed a happy expression.
"General, this man is a remnant of Zhang Jiao, kill him quickly"
"General, this monster is very powerful. Let the crossbowmen fire a volley to kill him."
"No, he can control weapons and burn him with fire."
…
The six Qingzhou soldiers who couldn't clearly see the expression of the stern man said loudly.
The stern-looking man, or rather Xu Chu, turned to look at the Qingzhou soldiers, with no emotion or anger on his face: "Why are you waiting here?"
The six Qingzhou soldiers, except for one who is younger, are all old men.
Immediately they started talking:
"I was passing by the courtyard and heard something strange inside, so I came in to check. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came in, I saw this demon practicing evil magic. I'll wait."
"For me, we are worried about the demon escaping and swarming him. We don't want this demon to be so powerful that we will be defeated and end up in this situation."
…
With a bang, the door was pushed open forcefully.
Xiao Deng Ai rushed out angrily, pointed his little finger at the six Qingzhou soldiers lying on the ground, and said angrily: "Nonsense, you obviously can't rob, so you want to commit murder."
The six Qingzhou soldiers immediately retorted:
"General, this kid is an accomplice of that monster."
"That's right, you can't believe what this little demon says."
…
Little Deng Ai was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his face turned red.
Xu Chu's face flashed with a serious look, and he asked six Qingzhou soldiers: "Which infantry battalion are you from?"
"Qingzhou Camp"
"We are Qingzhou soldiers"
…
The six Qingzhou soldiers replied immediately.
When Xu Chu heard the words Qingzhou soldiers, a look of disgust appeared on his face: "Here comes someone."
The six Qingzhou soldiers showed joy on their faces, as if they saw Cao Yi being burned or shot to death in the room.
A dozen soldiers wearing leather armor walked in from outside.
Xu Chu said with a cold expression: "Drag these six Qingzhou soldiers who violated my general's order and kill them."
A dozen soldiers wearing leather armor walked over and arrested six dumbfounded Qingzhou soldiers.
The six Qingzhou soldiers ignored the pain caused by the pulling and shouted:
"Someone is dissatisfied"
"Why kill me?"
"We are Qingzhou soldiers"
…
At this time, six or seven men in armor came in, including military princes, camp commanders, military commanders, and school captains, and they all expressed their pleas:
"General, Qingzhou soldiers are the prime minister's descendants. They are no ordinary infantry. They should not be killed at will."
"General, as usual, if you kill Qingzhou soldiers, you must first report to the prime minister."
…
"Noisy, get out"
Xu Chu shouted angrily.
Six or seven people who persuaded him retreated.
"Drag him out and chop him"
Xu Chuhu glanced at the soldiers holding six Qingzhou soldiers with cold eyes, and said sternly: "Drag them out and kill them."
The six Qingzhou soldiers immediately shouted insults and threats, but they could not change Xu Chu's determination to kill them. After a while, several screams of Qingzhou soldiers were heard outside.
Xu Chu put aside his machete, walked outside the door, folded his hands, and saluted: "We say goodbye at Taihang Mountain. The prime minister and the military advisor miss you very much, and they often talk about it."
Little Deng Ai, who was standing on one side of the door, was in a mess.
"General Xu finally got his wish and led the army alone."
Cao Yi walked out with a smile.
That day, Xu Chu proposed to lead the army alone, but Cao Cao refused, and he heard it.
There was a hint of bitterness in the corner of Xu Chu's mouth: "To be honest, sir, I made a military order, and with the advice of the military advisor, I was able to snatch the position of vanguard from the two generals Cao Hong and Cao Ren."
"A military order was issued"
Cao Yi frowned slightly.
Xu Chu asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Cao Yi looked at the dark houses around him and asked, "Look at this Xinye City, what is the most popular?"
Xu Chu replied without hesitation: "Of course it's a house."
"What house?"
Cao Yi asked again.
Xu Chu thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed and he said: "Thatched cottage! I've fallen into a trap!"
"good"
Cao Yi nodded.
Xu Chu's expression changed a few times and he said: "I will withdraw from Xinye now."
"That's too late"
Cao Yi looked at the fire in the distance.
Xu Chu walked a few steps away, picked up his sword, and said without fear, "Then we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins."
"Liu Bei's troops must have blocked the city gate with a large number of archers. If you go out now, it will only increase casualties. There are fewer huts in the city. Retreat to the city and hold on. There will be a heavy rain later."
Cao Yi said.
"heavy rain?"
Xu Chu frowned.
Suddenly, there was a scream, and then a huge black shadow appeared in the sky above the yard.
Cao Yi raised his head and asked, "Did you find any trace of that person?"
"Uh-huh..."
Xiaotian let out an urgent cry.
At this moment, a strong wind swept in from the east, and the fire in the entire Xinye suddenly increased several times, and many places were filled with flames.
"What a strong east wind!"
Cao Yi turned to look east.
