Chapter 5 The Idealism of the World Twenty-four Songs and Mourning

Even though the flames were soaring in the distance and the sound of killing was loud, Lu Bu's side was extremely quiet.

"Is it really him?"

"I don't know, but the person who came to assassinate him was indeed Duan Xuan."

"That ......"

"Don't talk nonsense before you figure it out, leave a hundred traps in the camp with me to stop the fight, you take the rest of the people and horses to search for the whole city, and be sure to capture the thief."

Gao Shun nodded, and with a wave of his hand behind him, a hundred cavalry immediately came out of the ranks.

Lu Bu took the reins of the red rabbit brought by a soldier in the trapped camp, turned over and got on his horse, and without saying any more superfluous words, he ran directly to the corner of the city.

Gao Shun ordered 200 people to stay behind to protect Diao Chan and Chen Gong, and then began to search for the rest of the people.

……

In the light of the fire and the smoke, the stumps were scattered and wailed everywhere.

Hao Meng wiped a handful of blood from his face, and turned his head to look for the next "enemy".

A man with strong blood, once he kills his red eyes, will no longer think rationally.

I don't know why, but now I seem to be the enemy of everyone in the city.

Cao Xing was the same, although he tried to stop it at the beginning, but he was also angry when he saw his subordinates constantly being cut down by Hao Meng.

At the same time that Hao Meng spun around and cut the throat of the soldiers of the Shengong Battalion, Cao Xuan found an opportunity, took a bow and arrow, and shot Hao Meng's wrist.

This is Cao Xing's superiority, even if he is angry, he has not thought of using a killer.

But no matter what he thought, this move intensified Hao Meng's emotions even more.

Hao Meng looked at his wrist, then looked at Cao Xing, who was holding a bow in the distance, and yelled: "Brothers, kill me!" ”

Alas!

Cao Xing let out a lament in his heart.

With Hao Meng's order, his subordinates began to gather and gradually formed a battle formation.

Cao Xing's subordinates were also well-trained, and when they saw the other party arrayed, they also hurriedly assembled.

The Shenbow Battalion is different from other troops, although it is an archer, Cao Xuan specially selected fifty people as the front row of defense. These fifty men were all equipped with log shields, and unlike the short knives carried by the other soldiers of the Divine Bow Battalion, they also had a heavy sword on their backs.

This is also designed to prevent the Divine Bow Battalion from being defenseless without the cooperation of other troops, but it doesn't want to really play a role, so it is actually working with its own people.

"Hao Meng! Why are you? It turned out to be ......"

"It's over, what more to say! Kill! Hao Meng completely ignored Cao Xing's words and issued the command to charge.

His men half-crouched, quickly approaching the enemy line.

The Shengong Battalion did not wait for Cao Xing's order, because of the training on weekdays, Cao Xuan had repeatedly emphasized: "If the enemy advances twenty steps and does not shoot, he will die." ”

The first rain of arrows fell, but there was only a metal crash, and a few people screamed as they were hit by arrows.

The shooters of the Divine Bow Battalion were taken aback by the fact that they were able to prevent the scatter without a shield.

This is something that Hao Meng has never mentioned to other generals, and he has nothing to do, so he thinks about how to increase the defensive without losing the mobility of the infantry.

Therefore, he let his subordinates practice a formation that seemed completely meaningless to others.

That is, when dealing with long-range weapons, swinging your swords sideways and intertwining them to form a large shield.

If it is in the wilderness, this method is almost completely meaningless. Because apart from the men in the middle, the infantry on the perimeter still had no defense.

But in this situation, the space for combat is not wide, and the Shenbow battalion is shooting slightly from the back, and the target is concentrated, which can just be defended.

Surprised to be surprised, the speed training of the Divine Bow Battalion on weekdays is not in vain.

The second row of archers had already stepped forward with their bows, and the man who had just released the arrows immediately half-crouched to take the arrows, ready to replace them.

However, after preventing the rain of arrows just now, the infantry did not keep holding swords and shields, but rushed over as fast as they could.

In the second volley, the infantry at the front had already rushed in front of the Shenbow battalion, which was in charge of defense.

Many of them fell from their arrows, but those behind immediately leaped up and stepped over their companions, slashing their blades at the archers behind the shields.

Another melee melee began, and the Divine Bow Battalion had to give up its bow shooting and draw its short knives to meet the enemy.

……

Hao Meng has been staring at Cao Xing, because Cao Xuan has never moved in the rear of the Shengong camp. He just quietly hitched his bow and aimed at himself.

Oh, let's fight, I can't stop it.

With a wry smile, Hao Meng pulled out the arrow from his wrist, ignored the blood spurting out, changed his hand and strode forward.

Cao Xing's bowstring was released, and the arrow was aimed at Hao Meng's shoulder.

Cao Xuan is still making a final effort. Even though the Divine Bow Camp was already at a disadvantage, he still did not give up the idea of reconciliation.

……

Wei Xu, Cheng Lian and others originally thought that Hao Meng and Cao Xing were just arguing, but when they came to the scene, they were all dumbfounded.

This is all a mutiny!

They arrived alone, so they didn't join the warband at first, but when they realized that things were out of control, they immediately ordered the troops to be counted.

Just when Hao Meng and Cao Xing were rushing to kill, they took the belated men and horses and began to separate the two sides from the periphery.

But as I said before, because the composition of Lu Bu's army is too complex now, they don't know each other.

Hao Meng and Cao Xing's subordinates were already red-eyed, where would they think about what these people were going to do, but instinctively thought that they were here to help each other.

As a result, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian, who were originally preparing to persuade, now had to fight against the men and horses of both sides at the same time.

Cheng Lian began to shout loudly: "Hugh wants to do it, where are your generals?" ”

But then I found that this faint word was instantly buried in the shouting of killing.

……

Hao Meng pushed a soldier of the Divine Bow Battalion as a cover, and slowly approached Cao Xing.

Cao Xing also knew that the enemy was close to ten steps, and there was only one arrow. He had one more chance to shoot his arrow, and then he had to abandon his bow and draw his sword.

Hao Meng stared at Cao Xuan from behind the "meat shield" that had already died, and moved forward little by little.

The bowstring in Cao Xing's hand was tight, looking for an opportunity to hit with one blow.

The crowd of people fighting next to them seemed to have disappeared, and there was nothing else in the eyes of the two.

Suddenly, an infantry member was cut down and fell from Hao Meng's face.

Cao Xing's bowstring immediately loosened, and Hao Meng instinctively turned sideways, completely hiding himself behind the "meat shield".

However, there was no sound of arrows entering the flesh.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly realized that Cao Xing had already moved to the direction where his back was facing, and his eyes were everywhere, Cao Xing once again took his bow and released an arrow, hitting him in the left back shoulder.

The severe pain made Hao Meng have to let go of the poor Shengong Battalion soldier, he gritted his teeth and turned around, staring at Cao Xing.

It turned out that the string sound before, Cao Xing just released the empty string, and the arrow was still clamped in his left hand.

Now Hao Meng's right wrist and left shoulder have been injured, and it is difficult to lift the sword.

He sneered and looked at Cao Xing, who was shocked by that bleak gaze and unconsciously looked away.

"Exactly...... Why did you end up in such a field......" Cao asked himself in a low voice.

At this moment, Lu Bu arrived, not only him, but even Gao Shun also arrived.

Gao Shun was not worried about this, so he ordered the 300 trap camp to search and arrest in the city, and he hurriedly brought 100 people to catch up with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu knew what he was thinking, so he didn't ask any more.

But unfortunately, after Lu Bu arrived, the first person he came into contact with was Cao Xing's subordinates.

When they saw that Lu Bu had arrived, they hurriedly reported that Hao Meng had led his subordinates to rebel, had fallen out with several generals, and was now in a scuffle.

This is the saddest thing in the world, the former Duan Xuan and others designed to frame him, Hao Meng is already suspicious, and now coupled with the reports of these people and the chaotic scene at the scene, Hao Meng is convicted.

If it was a weekday, there might be a turnaround, but it's today. A moment ago, Lu Bu had just escaped from danger, and he was shocked and annoyed in his heart, and when he saw this situation, he also lost his mind a little.

The most terrible thing is that Chen Gong, who can alleviate contradictions and analyze calmly, is not here!

When all factors point in one direction, the result is inevitable.

LΓΌ Bu immediately ordered everyone to work together to kill the rebels.

……

Hao Meng was a little unsteady because of blood loss, but a voice that made him a little unbelievable gradually sounded in his ears.

"General Lu has an order! The generals of each battalion worked together to kill the rebels and behead Hao Meng! ”

Hearing this, Hao Meng and Cao Xuan both looked over there with wide eyes in surprise. There, there was the fiery red war horse they were familiar with, and the legend they had been following all along.

Looking at the team of people rushing towards him, Hao Meng smiled, laughing miserably and sadly.

Now, he finally understands how Lu Bu felt when he was framed as the master bookkeeper. His brothers have become enemies, and he himself is the target of everyone.

General Lu! You're so confused!

Hao Meng looked at Lu Bu with the last hope in his heart, but a chill hit his heart.

What kind of gaze was that, as indifferent as Ding Yuan was back then.

Hehe, this is where I belong.

Not everyone can still retain their loyalty when they are desperate, and Hao Meng is just an ordinary person.

He turned his head slowly, and there was no expression on his face. Because he wants to use his last strength to sow the seeds of revenge.

Cao Xuan was standing in a daze, and he couldn't believe that Lu Bu would give such an order.

But when he came back to consciousness, Hao Meng had already rushed towards him.

Cao Xing instinctively used a short knife to slash, but found that Hao Meng didn't dodge at all, and one arm was chopped off.

But Hao Meng didn't care anymore, he just used all his strength, hugged Cao Xing, and said the last sentence in his ear.

The next moment, his head was chopped off.

Gao Shun saw Hao Meng rushing towards Cao Xing and hugged him, thinking that he was going to make a last fight, he hurriedly led his horse forward and swept with a spear.

In this way, the former companion died at the hands of his own people.

Hao Meng's headless body slid limply down Cao Xing's body, but Cao Xuan still didn't move, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

In his mind, there were only the last words of Hao Meng before he died:

"Remind the general, although I am dead today, my troubles have not been eliminated. You must know that Chen Gong is also among the conspirators of today's rebellion! ”
