Once the north gate is broken, in order to take Xuchang as soon as possible, the enemy army will definitely transfer troops from the other three gates to the north. At that time, the lord can choose the side with fewer troops to launch a surprise attack. If you time it right, you should be able to escape! ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and Chong Xunyu nodded with satisfaction:

"Good! Do as you say! ”

……

An hour later, the inner city of Xuchang.

As soon as Cao Cao sat down and wanted to rest, he heard a rush of footsteps behind his head.

Turning his head, it turned out that Cao Ren, who was watching at the north gate, came back.

"My lord, the north gate has been completely lost, and a large number of enemy troops are pouring into Xuchang. We...... Isn't it time to go? ”

Knowing that the city gate was broken, Cao Cao did not express his position on the spot, but turned his head and glanced at Cao Ang and the Xiahou brothers.

Cao Ang and the others immediately understood, and ran in the east, west, and south directions with their own soldiers......

After a stick of incense, the three returned.

Cao Cao quickly got up and said eagerly:

"How? What about the other three? ”

Due to the rush all the way, Cao Ang and the others were out of breath.

After a delay of three or five seconds, they reported what they saw:

"Back to the lord, outside the east gate...... Five thousand soldiers were transferred. ”

"The same as the south gate, also walked five thousand."

"Huh? It seems that Simon has the most, about 10,000 transferred! ”

Listening to the three gates, the number of Ximen transferred the most troops, Cao Cao immediately ordered to lead the generals to rush towards the west gate.

……

Although he wanted to launch a surprise attack, Cao Cao did not bring too many troops.

First, the number of enemy troops attacking from the north gate was extremely large.

In order to slow down the enemy's entry into the city, Cao Cao had to transfer some troops to block it, so as not to wait for people to be flanked from front and back;

Second, if Cao Cao draws too many troops at one time, the enemy army will definitely be suspicious.

Once Er Yuan notices this, it will be even more difficult to break through.

So after weighing it, Cao Cao finally only mobilized 6,000 troops and rushed out of the west gate of Xuchang with him.

Outside the West Gate, there were 20,000 Yuan troops in charge of attacking the city.

But just now, 10,000 troops have been transferred by Yuan Shu to the north gate to support the attack, so there are only 10,000 soldiers left at this moment.

In addition, Cao Cao and the others suddenly came out of the city and caught their opponents off guard.

Therefore, although the strength was inferior to the other side, after some hard fighting, Cao's army still managed to break through the enemy's encirclement network.

ran out of more than ten miles in one go and came to a jungle west of Xuchang.

Seeing that there were no more pursuers behind him, Cao Cao raised his hand to signal to stop the march and let everyone rest for a while.

The filial son Cao Ang came to Cao Cao's side for the first time, and just took out the water bladder and wanted to hand it to his father, when Cao Cao, who was riding on a horse, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Hahaha, Brother Yuan is really stupid! Guangzhi besieged Xuchang, but did not know how to defend and break through. What can you do even if you take Xuchang? As long as I, Cao Mengde, don't die, I will definitely make a comeback! You're waiting for me......"

But before Cao Cao could finish speaking, he heard a rustling sound in the forest, and a team of Yuan troops suddenly rushed out of the forest.

The number of people was about 10,000, and it spread out quickly like a long snake, surrounding the generals of Cao's army with the power of thunder.

When all the enemy troops stood still, they saw a thin man wearing black iron armor, riding a tall horse out of the crowd, with a look of disdain, and sneered:

"Humph! I said Cao Apu, such a small skill of carving insects, do you think the old man can't guess it? You dare to make a big deal about this, I think you're stupid, right? ”

The person who spoke was none other than one of the commanders of the Yuan army - Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao really didn't expect that Yuan Shu would appear here, not to mention how ugly his face was, and he stammered and asked:

"Y-Why are you here? Could it be ...... You have long guessed that our army will break through? But even if you guessed, how do you know that we are going west? ”

"Hahahaha, what's so hard about that?"

With a burst of high-pitched laughter, Yuan Shao, another commander of the Yuan army, also rode into the arena on a good horse, pointed to a man in white shirt beside him and said:

"This Mr. Lu is me and the military advisor of the highway. He had already guessed that you would break through, so he deliberately withdrew the most Ximen troops to lure you to come here and throw yourself into the net. Cao Mengde, you have no way to retreat today, quickly dismount and surrender, I may be able to spare your life! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao realized that he had been tricked by others.

In addition to remorse, there was also a faint anger in his eyes.

But after weighing it several times, he still held back his temper and did not scold on the spot, but turned his head and whispered to Cao Ang:

"Ziyu, how many of us are left? Can you have the power to fight? ”

After escaping from the West Gate, Cao Ang had already counted the number of people, and soon stepped forward and replied:

"Back to my father, just after fighting all the way, our army was wounded, killed, and fled, and now there are only more than 2,000 people left, and they won...... Almost hopeless. But rest assured, father, once the war is fought, as long as the child is still alive, he will do his best to protect you! ”

Fight 10,000 with 2,000, and be surrounded by each other.

In such a situation, let alone winning, it is even difficult to escape.

Hearing this, a rare despair crossed Cao Cao's eyes.

After wrinkling his brows and struggling for more than ten seconds, firstly, in order to save his own life, and secondly, in order to avoid implication in the soldiers around him, Cao Cao finally chose to give up resistance and threw the weapon in his hand to the ground with a clatter:

"Alas! That's it, that's it, since the sky is going to die, why should I be stubborn. Cao...... Surrender! ”

As long as Cao Cao is willing to surrender, no matter what Er Yuan does, Lu Pu will not let Cao Cao see the sun tomorrow.

So when he thought that his task was about to be completed, Lu Pu, who was standing behind Yuan Shao, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

And Yuan Shu, who was standing at the forefront, was naturally in a good mood after seeing Cao Cao's embarrassment of taking the initiative to dismount and throwing away his armor.

If you don't step forward and lose two sentences at this moment, you are really ashamed of such a "beautiful day", and soon heard him laugh:

"Hahaha! People often say that Cao Mengde is a hero in troubled times and a hero of the world, and the old man has always thought that you are an iron-blooded tough guy, but I didn't expect that you are also a spineless person! Hahaha, good, good, good! In the future, if you come to my camp to be a cow or a horse, I promise not to hurt your ......."

But before the word "life" could be spoken, a sharp long whistle was heard.

Not only interrupted Yuan Shu's laughter, but also attracted everyone's attention.

Immediately after, I saw a man riding a fast horse, and suddenly rushed down from a small hill on the north side.

At a close look, this person's outfit is peculiar, and the first impression is a "red" character.

Not only is he wearing a red robe and red riding boots, but even his hair, eyebrows, the horses under his crotch and the long knife with a dragon handle in his hand are all red, giving people a strange and uneasy feeling.

After rushing down the hill at great speed, the red-clothed man raised his knife and slashed at Yuan Jun who was standing at the front, and the two heads fell off instantly, and he shouted:

"Yuan's child, give me back my life!"
