Chapter 795: Breaking Xuchang
Listening to the potter's words, Xu Rong and Pei Qian suddenly became very excited.
Xu Rong hurriedly said to the Tao Shang: "Prime Minister, can you show me the letter!" ”
The potter handed the letterhead to Xu Rong.
Xu Rong looked at it carefully for a while, and his eyes showed confusion.
"Prime Minister, the last general doesn't understand the content of the letter, why did those scholars in Xuchang let you erect five blue tooth flags in front of you if you get the news and attack the city in the future?"
The potter thought seriously for a while and said, "This matter is easy to explain...... They want to be thieves themselves, but they can't figure out the pros and cons of the current risks, and being able to get my exact information is to improve the success rate of this matter, after all, there is also a possibility that this letter will not be received by me, so the Xuchang family asked us to erect five blue tooth flags, which are used as a secret signal to let them know that we have received their message and can answer them at any time, so that they will have the bottom in their hearts and will step up the pace of rebellion. ”
Xu Rong nodded abruptly and said, "Prime Minister, in your opinion, what is the probability that these warriors will succeed in their rebellion?" ”
The pottery merchant smiled: "It is very likely, the city defense of Xuchang City is so tight during this time, it must be Cao Hong who mobilized the Shi clan and the people in Xuchang City to assist in the defense, but through this letter, Cao Hong's means of mobilizing the defense are obviously not very satisfactory to everyone, and since he can shoot this letter, it means that the people under the Xuchang Shi clan have been all over the city, so they want to find an opportunity to open the city gate, and the chances of welcoming us in are a little bigger." ”
Xu Rong nodded in agreement, but suddenly shook his head.
He nodded his head and shook his head again, and he was wearing an iron mask, which looked a little scary, and the potter sometimes felt like watching a ghost movie.
"Prime Minister, what if those people fail?"
"Failure?"
The potter touched the bridge of his nose and said: "That can only be regarded as their bad luck, but Cao Hong is obviously unpopular in Xuchang City at the moment, but a scholar clan has failed, and there are thousands of scholars standing up, sooner or later we can catch the opportunity." ”
……
The next day, the Jinling army launched another attack.
And this time, according to the agreement with the people who released the letter in the city, the potter erected five blue tooth flags in the array.
It's just that unlike the agreement, the scholars of Xuchang just asked the potters to erect a tooth flag in front of the battle.
But the potter clearly added to it.
The five tooth flags are embroidered with words on them, and they are displayed in the wind, which is particularly eye-catching.
The words on the flag read:
"Hard work!"
"Work hard!"
"Work hard!"
"It must be successful!"
"You guys are the best!"
These words are clearly reflected in the eyes of the people on the city walls.
Spicy eyes!
The scholars who secretly shot arrows to the potters naturally understood what was going on.
Although they had never seen the words on the potter's banner before, they could roughly figure out what the other party meant after carefully tasting a product.
It's just that isn't that a bit too much?
When the leaders of the Shi clan learned the news, their faces turned red.
This Tao Cheng Prime Minister ...... Sure enough, it's as good as the legend says.
Be a demon!
But Cao Hong didn't know that this was boring, and his first reaction was that the potter was ridiculing him!
Cao Hong was furious at that time.
"Humph!" I saw Cao Hong knock on the battlements of the city wall, gritted his teeth and said: "Potter thief, deceive me too much!" scolded me to the point of putting up a flag, I swear to destroy it! ”
Behind Cao Hong, the adjutant general said with some confusion: "General, the last general can't understand what the words on the pottery merchant flag mean, how do you know that he is humiliating you?" ”
Cao Hong snorted heavily and said, "What's not to see?" This thief is best at playing this hand, think back then, he even dared to play with his teacher Huangfu Song, I heard that he embroidered a 'Monkey King' name on the banner for his teacher, if it weren't for the old man Huangfu to resist and refuse, I was afraid that this name would be installed on the grave of Huangfu Song's old man! ”
The adjutant general looked at the five tooth flags in the enemy formation for some reason, not knowing what the connection between the two things was.
Could it be that the potter is also giving General Cao Hong a nickname?
But I really can't see what kind of nickname this is?
Qi Tian Tu strong? Or the Great Sage of Success?
……
After another night of hard fighting, the potter's men and horses finally retreated.
The Cao army in the entire city was almost exhausted, and their physical fatigue and mental exhaustion made it impossible for them to continue to hold on, let alone fight, even if they were standing, they couldn't stand firm now.
And Cao Hong also went back in embarrassment, fell asleep, and was almost defenseless.
The entire Xuchang City has fallen into such a gap period, a relaxation period.
Cao Hong was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, when suddenly, the door of his room was suddenly pushed open.
"General, something is wrong! The Jinling army has entered the city! ”
Cao Hong had never removed his armor, but he had fallen into a deep dream, he was startled by this sound, and he turned over and fell directly from the bed.
He stood up in a panic, grabbed the sword at the head of the bed, and pulled it hard: "Who?" Who! Who dares to come and kill me? Grandpa chops you to death! ”
After seeing that it was his lieutenant, he said, "Why are you?" I almost did it to you. ”
The adjutant general sneered at him in his heart, and secretly said If I want to assassinate you, you can't even get up from the kang just now, and you still do it to me?
But now is not the time to talk about these miscellaneous matters, the adjutant general hurriedly said to Cao Hong: "General, the big thing is not good!" The Jinling army has entered the city! ”
Cao Hong's eyes widened: "How is it possible?" How did the Jinling army come into the city? ”
"It's those servants of the Shi clan who assisted in the defense, and they sent someone to open the east gate of Xuchang City!"
Cao Hong was stunned for a while, and suddenly roared angrily: "I want to kill them all, all of them are gone, and no one will be left!" ”
After speaking, he saw Cao Hong leading the way and rushing out.
The east of the city, has now been conquered by the Jinling army, the Jinling army is like a crowd, surging towards the interior of the city, they first controlled the east gate of Xuchang City, then occupy the east of the city, with the east gate as a stronghold, like a carpet swept towards the city.
And the people in the city have long been dissatisfied with Cao Hong, and at this moment, they have closed their doors one after another, and they have become turtles with shrunken heads, not going out or leaving home.
As for those Xuchang clans who had long planned to betray the Cao clan, they sent their subordinates to take the initiative to guide the Jinling soldiers and guide them to occupy various important places in the city.
Cao Hong came out of the mansion gate and flew on his horse, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Turning his head to look, it was Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun who were galloping towards him.
Cao Hong's eyes showed a look of anger.
He naturally knew in his heart that the two Jinling generals, Huang and Zhao, could find him so quickly, and someone must have led the way.
As for the people who led the way, they were naturally those who let them into the city.
Huang Zhong stood still and looked at him with a smile: "General Cao, the city has been broken, the general trend is going, the reason why you can hold Xuchang firmly is only by the three-zhang high wall, now the city wall is gone, my Jinling army is like a dragon and tiger, if you know each other, you should take the early dismount and surrender." ”
"Phew!" Cao Hong took a sip fiercely, squinted at Huang Zhong, and said, "I am the brother of the Sikong clan, how can I descend to you, an old horseman, it's just a big deal, it's just a big death, it's terrifying!" ”
After saying that, he saw Cao Hong brandishing a big knife and said to the soldiers behind him: "Soldiers, follow me!" Kill Huang Zhong's old man! ”
Huang Zhong threw the knife behind him with a smile, turned his head to look at Zhao Yundao: "Zilong, why don't we compare the two of us today?" How is it? ”
Zhao Yun held the gun in front of his chest and said, "Good." ”
