Chapter 846: Life should not be extinguished
Cao Ren hurriedly grabbed his war horse, if he hadn't reacted in time, he might have rushed under the cliff.
"Heaven is going to kill me! Thief God, why don't you have long eyes? Cao Ren looked up to the sky and shouted angrily.
And Ma Chao also discovered this good news, and laughed wildly: "Cao Renpifu, you can't escape!" Surrender obediently. Ben will keep your life safe. ”
Cao Ren's heart was sad, with his current physical condition, he couldn't have any confrontation with Ma Chao.
Ma Chao wanted to kill himself before, because there was no way to capture himself alive, but in this situation, Ma Chao would definitely choose to capture him alive. None of Cao's top generals have been captured so far. When Cao Ren thought that he had become the first general of the Cao army to be captured, the sadness in his heart could be imagined.
What's even more sad is still to come, the war horse under Cao Ren's crotch has suffered a great decline in physical strength due to a long time of galloping, and at this time, the war horse feels a little out of strength, and suddenly it is paralyzed.
was so paralyzed that Cao Ren was thrown directly to the cliff. Cao Ren was already injured all over his body, and he couldn't control his body at all, so the whole person flew out directly.
"Lao Tzu was actually killed by a brute!" Before Cao Ren fell off the cliff, there was only one sentence in his mind.
Cao Ren has no chance to surrender if he wants to.
"Is there a mistake?" Ma Chao, who was not far away, saw such a scene, and he felt like he couldn't cry or laugh. Cao Ren was actually pitted by a horse!
Ma Chao rode his war horse to the edge of the cliff, because the sky had all darkened, the bottom of the cliff was already pitch black, and there was nothing to see at all.
No trace of Cao Ren was found, but with such a high cliff, Cao Ren fell, and even the body could not be complete.
couldn't capture Cao Ren alive, the great credit flew like this, Ma Chao could only sigh and said: "Okay, it seems that this is fate!" Wait until dawn to find Cao Ren's body. ”
Ma Chao turned the horse's head and returned to the battlefield according to the original way, Cao Ren was already dead, but Ma Chao still had his own things to do, after all, the battle on the battlefield was not over yet. Ma Chao left, and on the edge of the cliff, there was only a slumped war horse panting.
After a long while, several figures emerged from a corner not far from the cliff.
"General, it seems that it was General Cao who fell into the cliff just now." One said.
"It's not like, it's just that! Let's go check it out! The leader also said.
These people are Xiahoulan and others who rushed here on foot from Runan to join Cao Ren. To say that Xia Houlan's itinerary in the past few days can be described as difficult. Without war horses, they lost the means of transportation, the roads were rugged, and they suffered all along the way. By the time Xiahou Lan had almost arrived, Cao Ren had already begun to attack Yingchuan.
Xia Houlan immediately thought that Cao Ren had already been tricked. In order to report to Cao Ren, Xiahou Lan continued to advance with his own personal army. Fortunately, they met almost a large family, and these people would have some mules and horses that were used as coolies, and Xiahoulan directly forcibly expropriated these mules and horses by force.
With these mules and horses, Xiahoulan and they could finally get rid of the embarrassment of advancing on foot.
But the follow-up development shocked Xiahoulan, Cao Ren's advance was too fast, and he was about to hit Xuchang along the way. And Xiahou Lan continued to look for Cao Ren by mistake.
Even after arriving at this cliff, Xia Houlan and the others were exhausted, and took advantage of the darkness to get ready to rest for the night. And at this time, I saw Cao Ren being chased and killed by Ma Chao, and finally Cao Ren fell under the cliff.
Xia Houlan came to the edge of the cliff and stretched out her head to take a look, the height of the cliff made Xia Houlan's feet a little weak. Xiahoulan hurriedly took a step back, and finally sighed: "I didn't expect that we wanted to meet General Cao day and night, and General Cao was actually buried here!" ”
Several of the surrounding pro-soldiers were all sad.
The captain of the pro-soldier even suggested: "General, let's return to Shouchun and report to the prime minister." ”
Xiahou Lan nodded with difficulty, this expedition was a failure, not to mention the loss of troops, even Cao Ren was involved, and I don't know what kind of state Cao Cao will be in when he knows it.
When Xia Houlan was about to leave, a voice came from under the cliff behind her: "Is there anyone up there?" ”
This voice startled Xia Houlan and the others, and there was no one else here except for a few of them.
"Is there a ghost!?" Xia Houlan's personal soldiers thought in horror.
Xiahou Lan listened carefully, this voice continued, and after hearing it clearly, Xia Houlan said happily: "This is General Cao's voice!" General Cao is not dead yet! ”
Xia Houlan quickly came to the edge of the cliff, and several personal soldiers also pulled him out to check. One of the soldiers even lit a torch very intimately, so that Xia Houlan could see it clearly.
With the help of the firelight, Xia Houlan finally saw Cao Ren and said in surprise: "General Cao, you are not dead." The last will be Xiahoulan! ”
It turned out that after Cao Ren fell off the cliff, he thought that he would definitely die, but there were many bushes growing horizontally under this cliff, and after Cao Ren fell, it was these bushes that prevented Cao Ren from continuing to fall, so Cao Ren did not fall to his death. But Cao Ren is still not lightly injured, and he can't move if he wants to. Due to the light problem, Ma Chao didn't find Cao Ren's figure before, but Cao Ren could see Ma Chao, so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound at all. Then Cao Ren saw someone poking his head out again, but this time he didn't see who it was, and it wasn't until the conversation between Xia Houlan and the others that Cao Ren made a sound. Hanging among the trees on the cliff, if no one comes to save him, Cao Ren can only starve to death and die of thirst, it is better to give it a go, if it is his own person, Cao Ren will be saved. Fortunately, God did not give up on Cao Ren and gave Cao Ren a chance to live.
Cao Ren finally saw who it was, it turned out to be Xia Houlan.
Cao Ren was not lightly injured, and said with a little difficulty: "General Xiahou, hurry up and save me!" Hurry up, I can't hold it anymore. ”
Xia Houlan immediately said to his own soldiers: "Quick! Prepare the ropes! ”
The soldiers hurriedly found the rope and lowered it down the cliff. Xia Houlan personally took action and slowly climbed down the cliff at great risk. When she got close to Cao Ren's side, Xia Houlan knew how serious Cao Ren's current condition was, his armor was in tatters, and there were still wounds on his body that were bleeding constantly, if it weren't for their appearance, Cao Ren would definitely be dead.
After a lot of effort, Xiahoulan finally rescued Cao Ren from the cliff.
After Cao Ren returned to the ground, he felt a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe in his heart. Just now he felt that he was going to die, and his heart was full of regret. Now that he is immortal, Cao Ren's state of mind is different.
