Chapter 742: Borrowing the Head to Soothe the Army's Heart
"Wake up!" Lai Ying'er hurriedly squatted down to support Wang Yuan, and her mind was confused, it turned out that Wang Yuan was trying to block this arrow for her, why is this person so stupid and stupid - good!
And now she found guilty that she didn't even know the name of the person in front of her. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" several companions gathered around one after another, helped Wang Yuan together, and asked eagerly.
Wang Yuan woke up slowly, and when he saw Ying'er for the first time, he asked, "Girl—is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay!" Lai Ying'er can still take care of her wounds at the moment, and suddenly burst into tears, "I blamed you just now, but why did you save me......"
She wanted to speak and stopped, and the deep meaning in her eyes could only be understood by Wang Yuan.
Wang Yu coughed a few times, looked back at the surging enemy army, and showed a smile on his face, as if to reassure the people around him who cared about him: "This place is dangerous, let's evacuate quickly!"
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and straightened up, wanting to get up, but suddenly heard the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air!
It turned out that Li Feng had not shot Wang Gao and the others, so he ordered the archers to release arrows together, wanting to put them to death.
Wang Yuan and Lai Ying'er were shocked, where they were now without shelter, and they seemed to have seen the tragic situation of their ten thousand arrows piercing their hearts in the next moment.
However, before the arrow came, he heard a clanging sound first, and it turned out that the soldiers guarding the door did not know Li Feng's intentions, and closed the gate at an inopportune time when his main general was about to succeed.
"Hahaha!" Such a funny scene was seen by Wang Yuan, and he couldn't help laughing, although the pain in his back was heartbreaking.
But when he and Lai Ying'er turned around, they really gasped.
I saw that the thousands of enemy troops who had fled out of the east gate before saw that the main general was still there, and spontaneously gathered together and hurried back, and at this moment they were eyeing the seriously injured Wang Gao and Lai Ying'er and others.
And on the city wall behind them, countless archers also appeared, taking their bows and arrows aimed at the few people in front of the east gate who survived the catastrophe.
"Squeak!" The worst finally happened, the east gate that had just been closed was slowly being pushed open at this moment, and Li Feng could be vaguely seen leading the defenders in the city to rush out.
Wang Gao couldn't help laughing miserably, it was really a blessing to use so many people to destroy himself.
Just when Wang Yuan and the others thought that they had no way to escape and were certain to die, the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from the north, south and east of the bitter city at the same time, which shocked the enemy army and couldn't help but look around.
Wang Yuan also took advantage of the situation, only to hear shouts and killings, it seems that it is undoubtedly his own people.
His guess was right, the left and right Tanma had already reported the situation here at the East Gate to the generals who were attacking the city at the other three gates, and seeing thousands of enemy troops leaving the city, how could such a good opportunity to kill the enemy be let go? Xiahou Dun, Han Hao, Qin Qi, and Shi Jian almost unanimously led their men and horses around the East Gate, preparing to besiege and kill the enemy army.
All of a sudden, the people turned on their backs, the sky fell, and the enemy troops outside the east gate immediately fell into chaos, and those who consciously could only fight on their own, and those who were timid took the opportunity to escape, where did Li Feng dare to go out of the city to die? Immediately ordered to press the city gate, and could only watch his men and horses being slaughtered by Cao's army, but he could not think of any way to save him except to order the archers on the city wall to shoot a symbolic rain of arrows.
At this moment, where did anyone still pay attention to the whereabouts of Wang Yuan's group of people, and they also took advantage of the chaos to return to the self-army formation and were rescued by their own people.
"Those who descend will not be killed!" In the melee, Xiahoudun shouted loudly while holding the Qilin Tooth that was flooded with cold light, leading the army to gallop among the enemy groups, harvesting the lives of the enemy from time to time.
Surrendering, wounded, and dying, the enemy army was soon disorganized, and the remaining enemy soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they all really broke and fled towards the east again.
However, they didn't escape far, these deserters were desperate, Cao Cao, who had been in ambush for a long time, led the men and horses to appear in their field of vision, and after another battle, only the corpses were left behind.
Wang Yuan and Lai Ying'er were brought to Cao Cao, Cao Cao saw that the shape of the two of them changed greatly, changed the joy of the previous victory, and held Lai Ying'er with a trace of heartache on his face: "I heard the maid say that you went out of the camp without permission to assassinate the enemy general, I still don't believe it, I can't imagine that you are really ...... I heard that you are injured, let me see, is it serious?"
"Thank you, my lord, for not getting in the way!" Lai Ying'er's injury had been simply bandaged, and seeing that Cao Cao cared so much about himself, he immediately returned the salute.
Cao Cao summoned a few maidservants: "Good life to serve the girl, if you go on a business trip again, Chi Weier and others will ask!"
"No!"
Lai Ying'er was supported by these maidservants, and when she left, she reluctantly glanced at Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan's injuries were also simply bandaged, and his will was still very clear, looking at Cao Cao's concern for Lai Ying'er, and Lai Ying'er's eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but feel very anxious.
"Wang Yuan, you are guilty!" Cao Cao snorted violently, attracting Wang Yuan's attention.
Wang Yuanyou looked at it, and saw that Cao Cao had come to him, with a hint of unpredictable slight anger in his expression, and he replied in confusion: "The lord is angry, and the villain is guilty!"
"Oh, then tell me, what are you guilty of?" Cao Cao didn't seem to expect Wang Gao to answer like this, his hands behind his back, and a pair of eyes couldn't help but look at the grain official in front of him, who had always been unknown before.
Wang Yuan paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment before he said awe-inspiringly: "The villain did not abide by his duties, acted without authorization, and almost delayed the major event of the lord's military plane, please give the lord a sin!"
"Well, it's indeed a big crime!" Cao Cao paced in front of Wang Gao, his eyes wandered on Wang Gao, and at this time, Xiahou Xuan, who was cleaning the battlefield, came on horseback, and turned over and dismounted in front of Cao Cao and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, the battle just now is really wonderful, our army killed 5,000 enemy soldiers and captured 3,000 people!"
Hearing this good news, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile, and then pointed at Wang Yuan and said to Xiahoudun: "Such a great achievement, I didn't expect it to be caused by a small grain officer, it seems that our army is really talented!"
"Meng De doesn't seem to be happy?" Xiahoudun saw that although Cao Cao couldn't stop nodding and smiling, he felt the slightest murderous intent from Cao Cao's words, and couldn't help but have some doubts, he was a person who couldn't hide his words, so he couldn't help but ask directly.
"I was originally very angry, but now I finally heard a good news, so I am not so angry, but the lives of tens of thousands of troops are vital to the victory or defeat of the battle, and I can't ignore the overall situation because of a good news!" Cao Cao's face suddenly turned pale, revealing a terrifying fierce light.
"Meng De, don't play dumb riddles!" Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao helplessly, he was a rough man, and he was very depressed about Cao Cao, who loved to play word games.
"Okay, don't play dumb riddles, Wang Yuan, you come and tell me why you want to assassinate the enemy general!" Cao Cao took a deep breath and asked Wang Yuan sharply.
Wang Yu seemed to have guessed that Cao Cao would ask this sentence, and Zhengse said: "Because the grain and grass are about to run out, the villain has no choice but to use Xiao Hu to divide the grain, which causes the soldiers to complain, and the villain wants to assassinate the enemy will cause chaos, so as to open the city gate to respond to the lord's army!"
"Very good idea, it's a pity that your martial arts are still a little worse, but fortunately, your martial arts are not good, otherwise these 8,000 enemy troops would still be a big problem for our army!" Cao Cao said with a smile, but he smiled coldly.
Xia Houdun finally reacted at this time: "Could it be that our defeat of these 8,000 people is purely luck by mistake?"
"But it seems that our good luck has come to an end!" Cao Cao sighed with a smile, "Just now Ren Jun came to report, saying that the grain officer Wang Gao falsely reported the grain and grass to him, and now the army has less than three days of grain and grass left, and many soldiers are fluctuating because of this, and Wang Yuan divides the grain with Xiaohu, and there are many grievances in each village, I ordered someone to take Wang Yuan to ask, to treat him to death, but I learned that this person absconded in fear of crime, and disappeared, I can't imagine that he went to assassinate the enemy general as a hero, and gave me a great credit!"
Wang Gao didn't speak, he knew Cao Cao's character, and he also knew what the consequences of what he did at that time were.
Cao Cao turned around and asked Xiahoudun: "Yuan Rang, what crime should you be guilty of falsely reporting grain and grass and delaying the military plane?"
Xiahoudun hesitated for a moment, and said to Cao Cao: "Wang Yuan used a strategy to help Meng De annihilate nearly 10,000 thieves, isn't the merit enough to resist?"
"What crime should I be guilty of falsely reporting grain and grass and delaying the military plane?" Cao Cao was unmoved and continued to ask.
"According to the law, you should be killed!" Wang Yuan, who had not spoken, said loudly, and the audience was shocked.
Cao Cao squinted at Wang Yuan, and seeing that he was not half afraid, he stepped forward and patted Wang Yuan's shoulder, and then turned around suddenly, leaving only one sentence: "Pull down!"
Xiahou stood on his knees on the ground: "Meng De thought twice! We have been holding on to each other in the bitter city for a long time, and it rains every day, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass, this is not Wang Gao's fault, his previous actions are also excusable——"
All the soldiers present also knelt on the ground: "Think twice, lord!"
Cao Cao paused, and said in a deep voice: "Your parents and wife and I will definitely have a good life to support, but I must also give an explanation to the soldiers who are about to run out of food in three days! Now I can only borrow your head!"
Wang Yuan heard that he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't care about the pain on his back, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly: "The lord's great kindness, I will report it in the next life, I haven't married a wife yet, and I have no father or mother since I was a child, I just hope that the lord can rule the world as soon as possible, and my subordinates will be blind to death!"
After speaking, he knelt to the north and said sadly: "As a man, I hate to be shrouded in horse leather, and I will fight with you on the battlefield in the next life!"
The officers and men of the three armies all burst into tears when they heard Wang Yuan's words.
A moment later, a cavalryman held the head of "Wang Yuan" and sent a message to each battalion: "The grain officer Wang Yuan falsely reported the grain and grass, delayed the military plane, and has been beheaded, and the battalions have been told that the lord has an order to capture the bitter city within three days, and those who dare not do their best will be beheaded!"
"Kill!" Cao Junjun's heart finally settled down, and once again he fearlessly attacked the city gates and walls on all sides of the bitter city.
As for the Chinese army, Cao Cao said to a masked guard beside him: "Wang Yuan is dead, and your name will be Wang Tu in the future! It just so happens that I have some confidential military affairs that need someone to carry out, and you are the most suitable person!"
"No! Thank you for the grace of the lord's reconstruction!" The guard who called Wang Tu looked at Cao Cao on horseback, his eyes full of gratitude.
