Chapter 692: Live Up to This Life
Cao Liang noticed that Sima Ru was alone, and did not go out to guard the group of slaves and maids as before, obviously, she took advantage of the unpreparedness of her family and escaped.
Sima Shi participated in the mutiny, so he naturally didn't care about his daughter, at most, he ordered his subordinates to be strictly guarded, which gave Sima Ru a chance to escape.
Hey, this girl, the war is in chaos, and fortunately she met it, if she didn't meet it, I don't know what would happen.
Sima Ru's willfulness is famous, but this time she escaped, it was not just as simple as willfulness, the Sima family rebelled, Sima Ru didn't think about their success or not, what she cared about was whether she and Cao Liang could be together.
The rebellion of the Sima family is to seize the government, and it is aimed at the entire Cao clan, and Cao Liang, as a member of the Cao clan, will inevitably break with the Sima family completely, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Sima Ru, who is immersed in his beautiful marriage.
Originally, she was still counting with her fingers, and in another month and one day, she would be a bride, but this sudden mutiny completely shattered all her illusions, it turned out that all this was fake, she was just a pawn on the chessboard of her grandfather and father, a victim of political interests.
Sima Ru is a woman who is unwilling to succumb to her fate, otherwise she and Cao Liang would not have come to this day, walking a hundred miles and half ninety, seeing that a good thing would have come to pass, but it was such a branch.
Sima Shi's supervision of Sima Ru was quite strict, and before the incident, he ordered Sima Ru to be grounded, and ordered his subordinates to be strictly guarded, and he was not allowed to step out of Sima Mansion.
However, Sima Ru, who has always been as cunning as a fox, wants to leave, and no one can stop her, Sima Ru is already disappointed in her grandfather and father, so she chose to escape desperately, in her heart, no matter life or death, she must be with Cao Liang.
She left the Sima Mansion and ran to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, and at this time Cao Liang was also in a hurry to go home, so they met unexpectedly.
It's just that this result seems to be beautiful, but the process is really dangerous, a lonely weak woman, in this chaotic Luoyang City, is like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, a little bit of the pool, will be swallowed by this huge wave.
Cao Liang looked at her, under the bright smile, there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, presumably she was helpless and desperate in the face of those ruffians, Cao Liang couldn't help but feel in her heart, this infatuated girl was really desperate for love.
Cao Liang hugged her into his arms, gave her a warm hug, and said softly: "Ru'er, this life will not be negative!" ”
Sima Ru smiled shallowly, feeling that all the hardships he had experienced before had been rewarded at this moment.
Cao Liang asked her to give her a horse to ride, and now is not the time to complain to each other, Cao Liang quickly adjusted his mood, led the cavalry, and ran to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion.
At this time, the fierce battle of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion was in full swing, although the rebels occupied an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and the gate of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion was not how strong it was, and the walls of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion were not as high, but it was precisely because of the existence of crossbowmen that it was quite difficult for these rebels to take a step forward.
The crossbow arrows at the head of the wall, as if they never stopped, kept firing, and as soon as the rebels approached a certain distance from the wall, one after another crossbow arrows burst out of the air, and it was impossible to prevent them.
After all, among this group of people, only a small part of the black-clothed dead soldiers who are not afraid of death account for a small part, and most of the soldiers are domestic slaves from the Sima family and major families.
However, those few black-clothed dead soldiers became the backbone of the attack, they launched attacks again and again, forming a major threat to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, and several dangerous situations were caused by the black-clothed dead soldiers, and fortunately, Cao Fu led his troops to resist to the death, so as to protect the mansion gate.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, severely obstructing the crossbowmen's view, and by this time the morale of the rebels seemed to become more active, as if they saw the hope of victory, and the attack became more and more rampant.
The guards of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion are actually not veterans with sufficient combat experience, most of them were trained by Cao Liang from the Grange, although the training time is relatively long, and the archery skills are also a lot more refined, but after all, they have not experienced a life-and-death battle, and in the face of such a scene, it is inevitable that they will be uneasy.
Cao Fu played the role of the Dinghai Divine Needle at this time, although he was also a person who had never experienced a battle formation, but he shouldered Cao Liang's entrustment, so he must protect the people of Cao Mansion.
Cao Fu knew that he had no way out, he was the last line of defense of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, if he couldn't hold it here, then how could the women and children in the mansion resist the wolf-like rebels.
Therefore, Cao Fu felt that he had a great responsibility, even if he was really afraid, but he must also force himself to overcome this fear, and he must not live up to Cao Liang's trust, which is the biggest motivation for Cao Fu to grit his teeth and persevere.
But in the face of the crazy attack of the rebel army, Cao Fu gradually felt powerless.
At this most critical moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on Tonghuo Street, and Cao Liang led the cavalry battalion to kill it.
The battle situation was reversed in an instant, and the group of rebels who were more like a rabble were under the strong impact of the cavalry, and the defense line collapsed in an instant.
The cavalry is a real army, an army that has been baptized by fire on the battlefield, and neither combat experience nor combat skills can withstand their rabble.
Jia Chong is naturally aware of current affairs, although he also desperately wants to make meritorious service and want to be reused by Sima Yi, but in the face of life and death crisis, Jia Chong still took the initiative to choose to escape, although the merit is valuable, but there is always a life to spend, if the life is lost, it is useless to accumulate more credit.
The commander Jia Chong fled, and the remaining rebels were even more masterless, except for the dead soldiers in black, none of these rebels could hold on, under the rapid impact of the cavalry battalion, the rebels were soon in chaos, and the army was overwhelmed, and the crisis of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion also disappeared at this moment, and disappeared.
