Chapter 163: The Fierce Battle of Jingzhou, Liu Biaotuo Gu (4)
Wen Ping didn't care about Xu Chu's pursuit, he just rushed around to assassinate Cao Bing, although Xu Chu was brave, but he couldn't keep up with Wen Ping, and chased and killed for a while, but he was further and further away from Wen Ping.
"Wenpin Xiaoer, if you are a man, you will fight with me for 300 rounds, just blindly run away, and coward He Yi." Xu Chu was furious, but he couldn't catch up with the speed, so he had to shout loudly in the back.
Where is Wen Ping still in the mood to fight at this moment, at this time thousands of Cao soldiers have climbed on the east city gate, although the Jingzhou soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, but they still could not retreat, seeing more and more Cao soldiers rushing to the city.
Wen Ping was anxious, it was difficult for him to stand independent, and although he fought bravely to kill the enemy, he was already powerless.
"General Wen! Oh no, where the lord is in danger, he will be attacked by Cao Cao. At this time, a soldier covered in blood ran over in a panic and shouted.
"What!" Wen Ping was shocked, seeing that the east gate was about to be broken, and the city gate was already crumbling, because the battle between the Jingzhou soldiers and Cao soldiers at the head of the city was fierce, the siege vehicles were no longer hindered, and it was only a matter of time before the city gate was breached. "Alas! That's it! The general trend has gone, let's protect the lord first. Wen Ping sighed, abandoned the east gate at the moment, and went straight to Liu Biao in the north.
Under the fierce attack of Cao's army, Jingzhou City did not last long in the end. After three days of fierce fighting, the four gates of the outer city were successively broken by Xu Chu, Cao Cao, Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan, all of them were lost, Wen Ping Bao Liu Biao and others retreated into the inner city, only to retreat in the inner city to resist, and it was only a matter of time before they perished.
Although Cao Cao's army was brave, the inner city barely held on for eight days under the efforts of Wen Ping and other generals, but the army in the city had lost more than half of it, and the inner city cried and screamed, and it was miserable.
"Sister, the lord is stubborn and refuses to surrender, so he suffered such casualties, and if it goes on like this, my Jingzhou will be driven out by Cao Cao!" At this time, in a dormitory in the Thorn Mansion in Jingzhou City, Cai Mao, Cai Cao, Liu Cong and others were in Mrs. Cai's bedroom, and Cai Mao was kneeling and saying to Mrs. Cai.
Mrs. Cai frowned slightly and said, "I don't know! It's just that Jingsheng has a stubborn temperament, and now although he is seriously ill, at this time of life and death, according to his temper, he will never surrender. ”
Cai Mao frowned and said, "Sister, I have a plan to keep us safe." ”
"What ploy? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"Sister, we can lead the troops to steal open the city gate and surrender to Cao Cao! Cao Cao will be overjoyed to get our help, and we will ask him not to harm the life of the lord, we have merit first, and he must agree. Surrendering to Cao Cao is better than being killed. Cai Mao finished speaking in one breath, without panting in the middle, obviously premeditated for a long time.
Mrs. Cai frowned, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Okay!" According to your plan, you will gather men and horses tonight and prepare for a mutiny. ”
……
That night, Liu Biao was doubly sad because of the matter of defending the city, coupled with the continuous supervision of the battle, the body was too consumed, and the old disease recurred, and he was already lying on the bed at this time, dying. Liu Biao felt that his life was short, and he couldn't help sighing: "I, Liu Jingsheng, was ordered by the emperor to sit in Jingzhou, but now I have more than enough strength and can't hold Jingzhou, alas! A certain person will die soon! What kind of face do you have to go to see the emperor? ”
Liu Biao sighed, alarming the attendants around him, and the attendant hurriedly said: "Why did the lord say this, God bless the great man, the lord will definitely live a long life." ”
Liu Biao smiled and said: "A certain life, a certain self-knowledge, you, go and call my son Liu Qi and General Wenpin." ”
"No!" The attendant received the order, and then went to find Liu Qi and Wenpin, and came to Liu Biao's dormitory in the starry night, and listened to Liu Biao's last order. Liu Qi and Wen hired Liu Biao's bedroom, and when they saw Liu Biao dying, they hurriedly bowed down and collapsed.
"General Wenpin, please come over." Liu Biao suddenly pointed at Wen Ping and ordered him to come over.
"No!" Wen Ping then sat on the side of Liu Biao's bed, Liu Biao suddenly stroked his back, and said: "It is a great fortune that General Wen Ping is such a brave general, he should have let the general show his ambitions, but he has no choice but to have shallow wisdom. Although I love the young son Liu Cong, but my beloved wife Cai and Cai Mao and others often have the heart to descend to Cao, today I faintly heard them discuss in my sleep, the young son is weak and young, only listen to Cai's words, and must not be entrusted with big things. Only the eldest son Liu Qi, but his temperament is weak, I hope you will be good in the future, Zhongxing King Liu Xuande is benevolent and righteous, and he is a member of the Han family, I am a brother of the same clan, and there is also the Son of Heaven on the side, after the loss of Jingzhou, you can protect Qi'er to go to Xuande. The words were full of tears.
Liu Qi burst into tears and cried: "Father! ”
Wen Ping also wept and persuaded: "May the Lord protect his body, and Wen Ping will live up to his expectations." ”
Liu Biao didn't answer, ordered the attendant to take a pen and paper, wrote his own edict, handed it to Wen Hi, and sighed: "Sage Yun: 'The bird is dying, and its song is also mourning; When a man is about to die, his words are good. 'My life is on the line, and I will soon be gone, and I hope the general will listen to my last words. ”
Wen Ping immediately wept and bowed to the ground, crying: "May the lord rest his body." In the end, he will do his best to repay the kindness of the master. ”
Liu Biao suddenly coughed violently, Liu Qi and the attendant hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, Liu Biao spurted out a mouthful of blood, Liu Qi and the attendant were taken aback. Liu Biao barely stood up, covered his tears with one hand, held Liu Qi's hand with the other, and said: "Qi'er, I am dead today, I have a confidant to tell me, I hope you listen carefully." ”
Liu Qi burst into tears and cried: "What does the father say, but what he says, the child will definitely listen." ”
Liu Biao looked at Liu Qi with a charitable gaze, sighed, and said intermittently: "Qi'er, you... You are weak-natured, if you surrender to Cao Cao with the Cai family, you will... will suffer from it, I will hire a general to protect you to go to Xuande, after you get there, you must be obedient, okay... It's good to live. ”
"Father!" Liu Qi cried to the ground, and suddenly saw Liu Biao lying down, holding Liu Qi's hand and hanging down, his head tilted to the side. Everyone was shocked, and when they hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, Liu Biao was already out of breath.
"Father!" Liu Qi cried loudly, tears streaming down his face. And immediately the people wept and fell to the ground.
"Report! Lord! General Cai Mao opened the city gate privately and let Cao's army enter the city. Then a soldier burst in, covered in blood. As soon as the soldier entered, he was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
Wen Ping accepted Liu Biao's last order, calmed down, and hurriedly got up and shouted: "Quick! Prepare your horses and get ready to kill! ”
"No!"
Liu Qi was still crying at this time, and the waiter stepped forward to pull Liu Qi up, but was pushed away by Liu Qi. Seeing this, Wen Ping hurriedly stepped forward to pull Liu Qi up, Liu Qi was usually hollowed out by wine, and his body was weak, how could he be able to defeat Wen Ping's vitality, and he was pulled up by Wen Ping at the moment. Wen Ping hurriedly shouted: "Son, the lord has a will first, and follow me to kill out of the city!" ”
"But! Father's body. Liu Qi struggled and shouted.
"The lord is the body, I'll deal with it, come on! Protect Childe out. Wen Ping shouted outside the door. The soldiers who had been waiting outside the door for a long time immediately received the order and took Liu Qi out.
Wen Ping picked up the candlestick and bowed to Liu Biao's corpse, "I'm sorry!" Lord! Forced by the situation. Wen Ping said secretly. At that moment, the candlestick was thrown on Liu Biao's bed, and the fire touched the cotton, and it suddenly caught fire. Wen Ping looked at it and hurriedly went out, when there was a loud shout outside the door.
Wen Ping hurriedly returned to his residence, a group of personal soldiers had already protected Liu Qi, Wen Ping hurriedly took the golden gun, asked Liu Qi to get on the horse, and then got on the horse to protect Liu Qi, led a group of personal soldiers, and went straight out, under the leadership of Wen Ping, a bloody road was killed, and the rest of the Jingzhou soldiers recognized Liu Qi and hurriedly followed.
"Wenpin! Where to go! Wen Ping was rushing to kill, and suddenly a Biao army blocked the way, headed by two generals, and two big flags behind, each with a Cao character. It was the two brothers Cao Hong and Cao Ren.
At that moment, the two intercepted Wen Ping to fight, Wen Ping was furious, jumped on the horse with a gun, showed his might, fought hard to kill the two, rushed all the way, and killed out of the inner city. When he looked at the city gate, he saw that the mountains in front of him were full of Cao soldiers, and Liu Qi was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body and trembled.
"General, what should I do now?" Liu Qi's voice trembled, and he asked Wen Ping in front of him. Looking at the endless Cao Jun in front of him, Wen Ping frowned slightly and clenched the golden gun.
"General, there's no time for us to think about it, let's rush over! There is only this one way, anyway, it is a death horizontally and vertically, it is better to kill a few more Cao soldiers before dying! Avenge your dead brother too! A soldier behind Wen Ping shouted.
"You're right!" Wen Ping saw that his generals were still so arrogant, and he was able to lag behind, so he smiled lightly and shouted: "We are about to charge, Childe, please live in the army, a few of you, stay by Childe's side, you must protect the safety of Childe, if Childe scratches a little skin, I will not spare you!" ”
"General rest assured! We will fight to the death to protect the safety of my son. The generals shouted in unison.
Wen Ping clenched his grip on the golden gun and shouted, "Brothers! I am hired to share life and death with you today, I will lead the battle into the enemy formation, even if I die, I will drag a few Cao soldiers on their backs, kill! ”
Wen Ping's words were passionate and tragic, coupled with Wen Ping's prestige in the army at ordinary times, and his resolute and unyielding appearance infected the hearts of all the soldiers, and all the soldiers were suddenly arrogant, and shouted in unison: "Kill!" When he was dying, he also pulled a few Cao soldiers on his back, and killed! In the flat ground, the shouts of killing rose to the sky, although Wen Ping and the others were small in number, but they were violent, and their fighting spirit was great, and they had already overwhelmed Cao Jun, who was more than ten times more than himself, in terms of momentum.
Wen Ping clenched his grip on the golden gun and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!" Kill me! At that moment, he jumped on the horse with a gun and went straight to Cao Bing, followed by his own soldiers and some Jingzhou soldiers to protect Liu Qi and follow closely behind. Wen Ping's golden gun flew up and down, everywhere he went, flesh and blood flew sideways, and all the soldiers behind him were also immersed in the excitement of killing the enemy, the man's blood was boiling, and Cao Jun was unstoppable for a while.
"Where is the thief going! Wei Yan is here! ”
Wen Ping looked at it, it was Wei Yan, Wen Ping jumped on the horse with a gun, and took Wei Yan directly, Wei Yan shouted, met Wen Ping, and the two were fighting in the chaos at the moment.
Wei Yan was bent on avenging his past revenge and fought hard. Wen Ping has the heart to help the master, resisting the confrontation to the death, and the two have fought for 20 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Behind Cao Hong and Cao Ren rushed over again, Wen Ping had no intention of fighting, shouted, and used one-handed eighteen picks, desperately killed Wei Yan, protected Liu Qi, and fought a bloody way.
