Chapter 506: Ambush
Cao Shuo took Deng Zhan and others out of the city.
On their way, more than 100 men lurked in the grass beside the road.
On the official road, a man on horseback galloped and jumped down to the place where everyone was dormant.
After dismounting, he punched the horse in the buttocks.
The horse was in pain, and with a long neighing hoof, galloped, and in a short time ran away.
Jumping into the grass beside the road, the man found a bearded man and whispered, "Cao Zi is melting out of the city." ”
"Brothers, listen up!" The beard said: "The general was not thin on us at the beginning, he was killed by Cao Zirong, but Yuan Gong didn't believe it, not to say that the general was beaten and ran away." Cao Zirong is too powerful now, and if he misses the opportunity, we can't kill him! ”
"Brother, don't worry, I will let Cao Zi melt to death today!" A few men beside him answered.
As he spoke, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
The bearded man whispered, "The tripping rope and the bow and arrow are all ready!" ”
"Ready!" Everyone responded, and a pair of eyes looked at Cao Shuo and the others who were speeding towards this side.
Cao Shuo led everyone to gallop.
Deng Zhan suddenly shouted, "Childe, wait a minute." ”
Reining in the horses, Cao Shuo asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't feel right." Deng Zhan said: "We rode horses all the way, and there were birds and finches along the way, why are there no here?" ”
As soon as Deng Zhan said this, Cao Shuo also found out.
He looked left and right, and whispered to everyone, "All dismount and raise their shields to search." ”
The crowd jumped off their horses.
Seeing this, the bearded man who was dormant in the grass scolded in a low voice: "Who was seen by Cao Zirong?" ”
"We're hiding here, and he can't see it." A man beside him said tremblingly: "Even like this, he can't hide from Cao Zirong's eyes, does he have the protection of gods?" ”
glared fiercely at the man who spoke, and the beard was speechless.
Cao Shuo took Chen Zhi and the others, each holding a shield and walking forward.
"Damn, I was really discovered." The bearded man cursed, and then shouted, "Shoot them with arrows!" ”
When he shouted like this, he not only gave an order to the dormant men, but also reminded Cao Shuo and others.
More than a dozen dragon-patterned horsemen hurriedly stepped forward and formed a shield wall in front of Cao Shuo, Chen Zhi and others.
Cao Shuo and Deng Zhan also held their shields and squatted behind the dragon pattern rider.
Only Chen Dao, when he heard the shout, not only did he not squat, but he burst into a shout, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, and rushed forward quickly.
He had only been rushing out for a few steps before countless feathered arrows flew in front of him.
The arrows hit the shield with a "crackling" sound.
Worried that something would go wrong with Chen, Cao Shuo shouted, "Move forward!" ”
More than a dozen dragon-patterned riders immediately stepped forward with shields.
Even on the march, they remained in a neat formation.
Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were beside Cao Shuo and rushed forward with him.
The arrows shot by the men were blocked by the shields, and some of them were so powerful that they even pierced through the shields.
Chen Dao, who was the first to rush out, held a shield with more than a dozen feather arrows, and burst into the group of men who opened their bows and arrows.
With a flick of the shield in his left hand, Chen Zhi smashed it into the face of a man who had not had time to throw away his longbow and draw his sword.
The man snorted and fell with his face back.
At the moment when he fell, another man pounced on Chen Zhi from behind, swung his long sword and slashed at him.
Chen Zhi didn't look back, and swept his right hand back from a very tricky angle.
The man holding the sword high was cut through a long cut from the bottom to the top by the sword.
He didn't understand until he died, how Chen Zhi swung his long sword, and how he was slashed......
Chen Zhi entered the crowd, and the men threw away their longbows and pounced on him.
Cao Shuo roared: "Kill me!" ”
He led the crowd to pounce on the group of men who surrounded Chen.
Seeing Cao Shuo and the others killed, he shouted with a beard: "Brothers, there are few of them......
Before the words fell, Deng Zhan, who followed Cao Shuo to kill, had already slashed four or five men in a row and pounced on his beard.
Seeing that Deng Zhan had arrived, the bearded man clenched his long sword and stabbed at him.
Deng Zhan dodged and jumped in front of his beard.
He gripped the hilt of his sword in both hands and pushed it forward.
The sword was like a knife cut into cream, and it stabbed into the throat of the bearded man with a "poof".
Cao Shuo and Zhu Ao were not idle, and they fought into the crowd, back to back, slashing at the enemies who pounced on them.
More than a dozen dragon pattern horsemen advanced all the way, and the men who had no formation at all were like rice being harvested in front of them, falling down in pieces.
The two sides fought for only a moment, and the man who assassinated Cao Shuo had already fallen, and Cao Shuo and the others, only two dragon pattern riders were slightly injured.
"Run!" One by one, the companions fell, and one of the men was frightened and shouted, "We are no match for them at all." ”
When the men who had been killed and had the courage to hear him shout, they immediately "coaxed", turned around and ran.
"Kill! Not a single one to stay! The red-eyed Chen Zhi shouted and chased after him.
"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" Cao Shuo shouted.
Chen Zhi stopped and looked back at Cao Shuo: "Childe, just let them go?" ”
"There are only more than a dozen of us, and no matter how much we chase them, we can't kill them all." Cao Shuo said: "Find out if there is any alive, and ask them why they killed me." ”
Chen Zhi and the others responded, searching for any alive among the fallen men.
"Childe, there's a living one here." After a while, a dragon rider shouted.
Cao Shuo and the others ran up when they heard this.
When I arrived, I saw a man with a cut in his stomach lying there.
Two dragon-patterned riders crouched beside him.
"Ask him, who is going to do it to me?" Cao Shuo said.
The dragon knight replied and asked the man, "Who are you?" ”
The man's lips moved, and the dragon-patterned knight pressed his ears to them.
After listening carefully to what he said, the soldier raised his head and said to Cao Shuo: "What he said is not very true, I only heard the word 'Zhang Nan'. ”
"Zhang Nan?" Cao Shuo frowned, and said to Chen Zhi and the others: "See if there are any alive, don't leave a single one, kill them all!" ”
"Childe, what's wrong?" Chen Zhi said: "Keep these people, and go back to Yecheng to talk to the Yuan family......"
"It's not good to keep them alive." Cao Shuo said: "Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living. ”
Chen Zhi and the others didn't know what Cao Shuo did when he came back to Hebei.
Of course, it is impossible to understand that Zhang Nan died at the hands of Cao Shuo.
However, the order had already been given, and the people did not ask much.
Chen Zhi shouted to the dragon pattern riders present: "Search carefully, see if there are any alive, and make up a few swords." ”
