In the twelfth lunar month of winter, even if there was no snow, the biting wind blew across the land like a steel knife.
The soldiers were packing their bags and returning to camp. Those who were ambushing at the south gate were mostly warriors with spears. They only needed weapons when they returned to camp.
Those who followed Le Jin, Xu Huang and others who were ambushing at the east gate were depressed. Many soldiers were hiding in private houses. It was not easy to move up bundles of arrows, but now they were moved back intact. .
In addition, this night, the spirit was highly concentrated, and even though the cold wind was biting, many people sweated their inner clothes because of nervousness.
After they moved all the ordnance back to the camp and put it away, and took off their armor, they all breathed a sigh of relief and could finally have a solid sleep.
bath? It doesn't exist. Just lie down on the couch and use it as a quilt to cover yourself when the sky falls.
After being exhausted all night, there was nothing but snoring in the camp.
Even the sentinels patrolling the streets at night seemed listless. This was actually a kind of post-war syndrome.
However, this night, there was one person who couldn't sleep.
Cao Cao, who was covered with a silk velvet quilt, tossed and turned on the couch. His eyes were obviously sleepy and red, but he just couldn't sleep. Finally, he simply sat up.
He half-closed his eyes and clutched the silk velvet quilt. He always felt that he had forgotten something very important. No matter how he thought about it, he just couldn't remember it.
Seeing that the fifth watch is about to pass, this is just the twelfth lunar month of winter. If it were spring and summer, dawn would be breaking in the horizon.
"What did I forget?" Cao Cao patted his head in distress and thought hard.
Maybe it was because I was frightened that night, or maybe I was extra nervous, or maybe it was due to regrets, but in short, I still gained nothing in the end.
He didn't care what time it was, so he put on his shoes and cloak and prepared to go find Xun You. He couldn't sleep well, so he didn't want to sleep either.
As soon as he reached the door, he turned around to pick up the belt on the couch. It was this glance that reminded Cao Cao of the entrance to the secret passage in the abandoned warehouse. In an instant, his whole body felt as if he was being shocked by electricity, and his small eyes were as big as copper bells.
Secret passages
Oops! ! !
The so-called surrender of Gan Ning and the so-called sneak attack were all Lin Mo's tricks to hide the truth from others. This kid was waiting for this moment. When we thought he gave up the sneak attack and forgot about the secret passage, and the soldiers were exhausted and fell asleep, he was the one who It’s time to get started!
This kid has thought about people's hearts to this extent. What a monster!
Monster!
He wanted to shout and tell the soldiers to prepare quickly and beware of Lu Jun's sneak attack, but at this moment, he felt like there was something stuck in his throat. He opened and closed his mouth but could not say anything. What was even worse was that his legs seemed to be filled with lead and they could not move. No, the whole person felt like a nightmare.
After finally breaking out in a sweat, he walked to the door with difficulty, holding on to the door frame. The slight movement finally attracted Dian Wei.
"Sikong, what happened?" He cautiously looked into the inner room and found nothing unusual.
"Go and deliver the order quickly. Tell me that Lu Jun is coming to attack." Cao Cao seemed to be in great pain, sweating profusely and panting.
“This Sikong”
"Go!" Before Dian Wei could finish speaking, Cao Cao pushed him hard.
In the abandoned warehouse, under the leadership of Gan Ning, the fully equipped Eight Hundred Traps camp made twists and turns in the scattered private rooms. In a short time, they bypassed the sentries and arrived outside the south gate.
Gao Shun didn't say anything, and didn't even shout a powerful word. He just waved his hand, and the brothers who were trapped in the camp rushed over.
The south gate was guarded by two teams with a total of 200 troops. They were already in a daze, but when they saw the trapped camp rushing towards them, they were still stunned when the opponent slashed them head-on with a sword.
With a puff, the leader of the team fell directly into a pool of blood.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Cao Jun, who finally reacted, faced the battle in panic and yelled to alert the people at the gate.
Close combat is what the trapped camp is best at, and with the heavy armor in hand and the large shield, they swept past in an almost crushing manner.
In the narrow city gate passage, two hundred people were eliminated in just a moment.
As the south gate was opened again, urgent drum beating came from the city gate. From the rhythm of the drum beat, it was not difficult to guess that this was an early warning sound of an enemy attack.
Unfortunately, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun had already rushed in with three thousand cavalry. This time, they rushed deep into the hinterland of Xiaoguan without stopping at all.
In the front row, there was an unrided war horse. Gan Xingba had quick eyes and quick hands, so he jumped on the horse during the approach.
Along the way, they encountered Cao Jun on patrol and were easily killed by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. When the three of them came to the fork in the road, they divided their forces in a tacit understanding.
Lu Bu and Zhao Yun rushed towards the school grounds with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Zhao Yun might not understand Xiaoguan, but Lu Bu couldn't be more familiar with it.
Gan Ning, on the other hand, led a group of cavalry towards the east gate, where Zhang Xiu was still in need of support.
This set of actions sounds like it takes a long time, but the horses come and go like the wind, and they are well prepared. The guards who are so fast that they can only fire a hail of arrows at the gate of the city.
When the idea of reinforcement came up, Gao Shun had already led the trapped camp and rushed up from the city ladders on both sides, waving the ring sword in his hand unscrupulously on the horse path, and it was difficult to find an enemy in front of him.
Dian Wei didn't even come out of the courtyard where Cao Cao lived when he heard the drums beating from the south gate. Soon, the drums and gongs sounded one after another. He didn't dare to send orders anymore because there were no more drums. significance.
What's more, Cao Cao can't live without people by his side.
After turning back, he didn't care that Cao Cao was only wearing a thin lining and a large cloak. He took Cao Cao's hand and shouted: "Sikong, I will protect you and fight out of the north gate!"
Hearing the sound of fighting, there should be cavalry heading towards the general's mansion. Cao Cao was glad that he was suspicious and did not live there, but chose a separate courtyard to stay.
But at the same time, he also knew clearly that Lu Bu and his men had rushed in. At this time, those sleeping soldiers would be as miserable as sheep encountering wolves in front of them. He could no longer save him. If he could escape smoothly, he would Great fortune telling.
The question is how to break out?
If you want to escape, you must naturally go through the north gate. As long as you run through the ten miles of post road, there are seven or eight forked roads. Even if Lin Mo has a city, he will not be able to set up an ambush at the same time.
But because of this, the sergeants in the city should have subconsciously fled towards the north gate. Cao Cao could imagine that there must be a large number of Lu troops ambushing outside the north gate.
If he wants to escape, he must find another way.
"No!"
Soon, he had an idea, took Dian Wei's hand and shouted: "You protect me from the east gate, hurry!"
Although he was very surprised, Dian Wei had no time to ask more questions. After helping Cao Cao get on the claw yellow flying lightning, he also rode on the Dawan horse.
At the door, Xu Chu was already waiting there. The two heroes, tiger and tiger, were Cao Cao's guard generals. One on the left and one on the right, they were always together day and night. They protected Cao Cao all the way to the east gate.
Just as Cao Cao had guessed, the soldiers in the military camp in the school field seemed at a loss when they heard the drums beating the enemy. They were slow to react and finally got up with great difficulty to clear their muddy brains. Before they could put on their armor and hold their swords, they stood outside the tent. There was a sound of horse hooves.
Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse, jumped up like a ball of flame three feet away, crossed the horse and landed in the camp. Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand stabbed left and right. He just poked his head out of the tent and didn't have time to see what was going on. Cao Jun fell to the ground and twitched, clutching his throat.
Zhao Yun followed closely behind and rushed in from the camp gate. He kept stirring up bonfires along the way, setting tents on fire. His bright silver spears swung and danced with spear flowers, which only touched Cao Jun's body. However, after he withdrew his spear, Cao Jun's body was all left with a bloody hole.
Because the tents were smeared with kerosene to prevent them from being bitten by insects, they would burn quickly when exposed to an open fire. Rows of Cao's troops rushed out of the tents, disheveled, and were either collided or trampled to death by the Bingzhou wolf riders.
Leading troops for the first time on an expedition, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry seemed to be interested in showing off their abilities in front of the new captain. They were like a group of well-organized wolves. Seeing Cao's army fleeing in all directions, they broke into pieces and chased them with guns. Assemble Cao's army, and with the centurion's order, they can quickly gather and charge forward.
Compared with Baima Yicong's kite-flying style when confronting Yuan Jun, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, an assault cavalry that mainly uses spears, allowed Zhao Yun to see their bravery in killing giant beasts. When it comes to killing efficiency, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry has to be Ride.
Zhao Yun didn't want people to think that he was just a brave man. He instigated the jade lion to wander around the edge, stabbing Cao's army repeatedly. At the same time, he could better inspect the battlefield. From time to time, he would shout a few words, "Zhang Kang, lead the people to the east. Cao Jun has been picked! Chen Zhao, let your men block the camp gate!"
Zhao Yun, who led Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, killed them in a corner of the military camp in the school field. There were corpses everywhere, and there was no one to pick them up.
Compared to them, Lu Bu seemed a little absent-minded. Except for rushing in and shouting his name a few times at the beginning, he simply killed those who were close to him and kept searching the surroundings with his eyes.
After discovering that Dian Wei was not found, he rode his horse towards the hinterland again, not caring that he had broken away from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. He and his horse were in a deserted place in the chaotic Cao camp.
Finally, he found a familiar face. It was Le Jin. He was riding a horse and leading a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding swords to come to the rescue.
But when he saw Lu Bu rushing towards him, Le Jin, who had always been brave and unafraid of death in his fighting style, was happy and undaunted, and shouted loudly: "Those who advance will live, and those who retreat will die. Kill them!"
He took the lead and led seven or eight lieutenants to rush towards Lu Bu.
"Where is Dian Wei?" Lu Bu didn't even bother to kill Le Jin. He just wanted to kill Dian Wei who threatened the life of his daughter and son-in-law.
Angry at being so ignored, Le Jin raised his knife and struck. Fang Tian drew his halberd and lifted the truncated sword and quickly struck it horizontally.
Although Le Jin had already closed his sword to block, the huge force coming from the blade after the collision made his arms numb, his palms trembling, and the entire sword buzzed, as if he couldn't hold it.
The lieutenant on the side took advantage of the opportunity and stabbed Lu Bu in the chest with his spear. He only leaned to one side, dodged the blow, and then slapped Fang Tian's painted halberd casually.
The steel gun in the lieutenant's hand broke with a sound, and the halberd face of Fang Tian's painted halberd was deprived of a lot of power and then slapped on the chest armor of the lieutenant. The armor immediately tore into pieces like a spider web, and blood seeped out from the cracks in the armor.
Lu Bu was not in the mood to appreciate this scene. Fang Tian's painted halberd was spinning without stopping, and the ten-foot-long halberd tip moved around in a circle. The two rushing lieutenants felt a numbness in their chests. When they reined in their horses and looked down, their armor cracked. , blood spurted out from the gap, and he fell down weakly.
With just two moves, three generals of Cao's army were killed. This bravery made Le Jin, who was not fighting Lu Bu for the first time, dumbfounded, let alone the surrounding lieutenants.
At first, he would compare Lu Bu and Zhao Yun privately, but today it seems that Lu Bu must be more powerful.
Le Jin shouted repeatedly: "Rush up and surround him!"
In terms of prestige in the military, Le Jin was famous for his tough fighting habits. His martial arts skills were not as good as those of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, but his prestige was not inferior to them. The soldiers rushed forward with gritted teeth.
Then Lu Bu Le's horse jumped and fell directly into the crowd. Fang Tian's painted halberd made a whirring sound, and there was a cloud of halberds around him. In the blink of an eye, blood was splashed like ink, and more than twenty people were killed or injured.
In fact, many people have only heard of Lu Bu's name, and not many have actually seen him, because not many of those who have seen him survive.
Suddenly seeing him in such an invincible posture, a feeling of fear arose spontaneously.
"Marquis Wen, I'm here to help!" Behind him, Bingzhou Langqi had already pushed up.
But seeing the cavalry charging towards them, Le Jin tried to stop them again and again but in vain. The morale of the army suddenly collapsed and Cao's troops fled in all directions.
In fact, there were not many people following Lu Bu and Zhao Yun to the school tonight, just the more than 1,200 Bingzhou Wolf Riders.
And what about Cao Ying? Excluding the sergeants who guarded the city gates and patrolled the night, there were 20,000 people, but they were killed in such a helter-skelter manner. The main reason was because Lu Jun came too unexpectedly.
Many people didn't know how many people came from Lu Jun. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they felt that the city had fallen, and they would naturally choose to escape.
Seeing this, Le Jin turned his horse's head to leave the battlefield, but his horse was not as fast as Red Rabbit's horse. Lu Bu just pinched the horse's belly and was chasing him in a blink of an eye. Fang Tian pushed his halberd forward, and the tip of the halberd simply penetrated Tohru, who was wearing heavy armor, entered his chest.
In the heartbreaking pain, Le Jin looked down and saw that the tip of the halberd protruding from his chest was still dripping with blood.
When Lu Bu withdrew his halberd, Le Jin suddenly fell to the ground.
At this point, he became the first to die in battle and was one of the five good generals of Cao Ying who no longer exist.
All that was left was to chase the deserters. Lu Bu was not interested in this kind of thing. He just wanted to find Dian Wei, so he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the city.
This huge military camp could not be penetrated so easily. In fact, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry trampled only a quarter of the entire camp. At the earliest, Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang had already led many people away from the school grounds. Got out.
As two talented commanders, they knew that if Lu Jun came in at this time, it would be impossible to repel them.
As a general, what you have to do is to assess the situation and act according to the opportunity.
Without receiving the latest order from Cao Cao, they tacitly chose to open an escape channel for their brothers.
Fortunately, the north gate was not occupied by Gan Ning. In other words, they had already occupied the north gate when Gan Ning led his troops to the east gate.
However, when the north gate opened, they realized why the other party did not grab a seat at this key gate.
The two men rushed out with their men, and Lu troops from all directions rushed up like locusts.
At that time, the sky was already getting brighter and the visibility increased. Cao Jun who rushed out saw that there was no hope of breaking out, and the sound of fighting behind him was loud. It is conceivable that other roads were also blocked, and he felt a little desperate for a while.
"Brothers, if we can't get out, we will all die here. Kill us!" Xu Huang yelled after splitting the two Lu soldiers into two with his mountain axe.
He is well versed in the art of war, and he knows very well that marching and fighting to surround three buildings is not only psychological warfare, but also the key to not forcing the enemy into a desperate situation, because once people are in a hopeless situation, they can often stimulate their potential and fight in order to survive. , can only not be afraid of death.
Sure enough, Xu Huang's words were very effective. The soldiers who were originally afraid of the battle clutched the Huanshou sword in their hands and rushed forward as if they were desperate.
When fighting, he no longer looked forward and backward, and after targeting a Lu Jun, it was an extreme matter of life and death.
For a moment, Zang Ba and Sun Guan, who were in ambush, were blinded. Even though the sergeants at the rear were firing arrows desperately, the dense rain of arrows could not break their belief in living. They could not fight with their shields. Rushing forward in fear of death.
In addition, Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang were the first to clear the way. Surrounded by 20,000 people, the solid triple defense was still torn open by them.
Although, in the process, Cao Jun suffered numerous casualties, and the blood soaked the cracked earth of Xiaoguan into mud, they finally rushed out.
"Ziwen! Have you seen Dian Wei?" Lu Bu, who walked around the city but couldn't find Dian Wei, came to the east gate.
Judging from the corpses on the ground, it was obvious that a large-scale fight had taken place here.
When Lu Bu rode his horse closer, he realized that Zhang Xiu's left arm was stained red with blood, "Are you injured?"
"Ashamed!"
Zhang Xiu looked annoyed and ignored the wound on his left arm. He gritted his teeth and said: "I wanted to send people to guard the city gate. I personally led the troops to go in to find Cao Cao. Halfway through, I happened to meet Cao Cao. I raised my gun and wanted to kill him." We killed the Cao thieves, but Dian Wei and Xu Chu rushed out from the left and right."
He didn't say anything else, but Lu Bu could probably guess the result.
The two people who can best fight Cao Ying are these two. If they join forces, Zilong may not be able to withstand it. Lu Bu knows this very well.
What's more, Lu Bu didn't notice Cao Cao's cavalry from the beginning. He probably took him with him. It was really difficult to stop them from charging into the formation with such a posture.
"It's Dian Wei again. You can recover while I chase him!" Lu Bu said that he was really chasing after him. After asking for directions, he rushed out single-handedly.
Xiaoguan's great victory is certainly gratifying. Before Yuan Shao goes south, there should be a long period of silence.
But Lu Bu felt that it was a bit regretful that he could not keep Dian Wei alive.
Zhang Xiu, who had raped his aunt, was a Xiliang man with a very heroic temperament. He didn't take the injury on his hand seriously at all and just wanted to follow Lu Bu, which was a bit reluctant in the end.
"General, this is the life-saving medicine refined by the military counselor. Rub it on the wound quickly!" The deputy general stopped in front of Zhang Xiu and handed the wine bag over.
The life-saving medicine is nothing more than alcohol, which disinfects and reduces the chance of death from tetanus.
Zhang Xiu poured the alcohol on his arm and gritted his teeth in pain, "Thief Cao, I will kill you!"
Obsession seems to be slowly forming.
The difference is that his obsession is Cao Cao, while Lu Bu's obsession becomes Dian Wei.
Everyone knows that people will become extremely tired after being highly stressed. In addition, Lin Mo arranged a lot of fog earlier, so it is normal for Cao Cao to forget the tunnel.
I'm still worried about this being said by you to be a hypocrite.
Well, I have thought about it again and again, and I think it does make sense logically.
Again, if you have any comments, I would like to thank the author for your kindness!
