Chapter 467: Cao Cao Returns to Heaven
"Whew-" Cao Cao took a deep breath of the cool morning air in the mountains.
From yesterday Cao Cao guessed that Lu Bu was tired, Cao Cao commanded the army to step up the attack, and after dragging the Chang'an army, he took the strategy of breaking the tail, looked for horses, and brought the civil and military cronies and ministers, and the three thousand soldiers took advantage of the chaos to go out of the city.
That night, there was a melee in Xiangcheng, and in the chaos of the army, Lu Bu shot Li Dian with an arrow, and hit the horse and rushed straight to the platform of Cao Junshuai. Yu Ban came to meet him with a gun, and after ten rounds of fighting, Yu Ban was photographed off the horse by a halberd, and Cao's army was in chaos.
Yu Ban exclaimed: "General Le, save me!" β
Le Jin was commanding the Cao army to resist Wei Yan leading the dead soldiers to attack the camp, and when he heard Yu Ban's screams in the chaos, he immediately shouted: "Le Jin is here, General Yu don't worry." β
Le Jin waved his horse to kill, under the flag gate, a column of personal guards rushed forward, surrounded Lu Bu in the horror, first aid from the ban, protecting the ban to retreat to the center of the army, just at the right time, a sound arrow broke through the air, a white horse carrying a big man is hiding the bow and picking up the knife.
"Yan Yan is here, the rats are gone!"
Yan Yan's shout did not fall, and the arrow took the lead in hitting Lejin's horse's head, and the war horse screamed sadly, jumped up and jumped high, and threw Lejin off the horse. Yan Yan beat the water dog and rode straight to Lejin.
Yu Ban was shocked again, hurriedly helped Le Jin, and commanded Cao Jun to stop Yan Yan and Lu Bu, and then took a street corner and left.
The three main generals of the Cao army broke away from command one after another, and the Cao army became more and more chaotic. Panic spread among Cao's army, and the hot air balloon ignited half of the city, and the fire was not controlled, and gradually became fierce. The city was full of fire, and the shouts shook the sky.
The soldiers were in full swing, the Chang'an army was fully impacted, the Cao army couldn't resist, lost their armor, cried and shouted, and in a moment, the whole army of the Cao army collapsed and fled in all directions.
Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, and the battle of Xiangcheng was temporarily victorious.
"Xu Shu, Liu Ye led thirty generals and captains, five thousand soldiers blocked the east gate, Wei Yan led three thousand soldiers to detour to the north gate, Yan Yan ordered the headquarters to surround the west gate, and the generals used the south gate to kill the city center, Hugh is going to leave Cao Cao!" Lu Bu wiped a handful of blood that fascinated his eyes, and issued an order to surround Xiangcheng into an iron bucket.
The overall situation was initially decided, and Lu Bu didn't know that Cao Cao had come to a golden silkworm as early as last night, and he had already escaped with a broken tail, and thought that Cao Cao had been sticking to the city to command Cao's army.
As soon as the sky was bright, when the heavy army of Chang'an was digging in the city to find Cao Cao, Cao Cao was already a hundred miles away.
After a night of rapid travel, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, Cao Cao ordered to cook on the spot, and after a short rest, he continued to move forward.
The sergeant went to a nearby village to steal food, and only then did he light a fire, and the shouts in the dense forest on both sides continued, and a large banner with the word Lu came out.
"Lu Bu is chasing after you!" Cao Jun was horrified.
"Cao thief is gone, my lord has already given up the net, when will he not descend at this time?" A young general came out and scolded angrily. Cao Cao took a closer look, it turned out to be Lu Meng's banner instead of Lu Buye, and said with a long smile:
"Lu Bu is unwise, and Xu Shu is ignorant. Can a child stand in my way? Come, who will kill the general and capture the flag? β
"The last will go." Zhang Xi danced the knife and slapped the horse to fight.
Zhang Xi was the enemy of LΓΌ Meng, and Cao Cao was busy with Cui's army and horses. In the middle of the line, the front was full of people, Cao Jun was full of liver and gall, only to see the leader of the general with a group of blank faces Cao Jun rushed out, kneeling on the side of the road and crying, it turned out to be the defeated Tian Yu army outside the north gate of Xiangcheng.
When the two armies were united, Cao Cao did not dare to stay for a moment, and went straight to Yingchuan to cross the river to the north.
On the shore of Yingshui, a veteran with white hair lined up with his back to the water, eyeing the tiger.
Cao Cao looked back at the civil and military generals, all of them were like frightened birds, unable to say half a word, Cao Cao raised his horsewhip and encouraged: "Huang Zhong is old, I don't know how to cross and strike." β
Cao Cao ordered Cao Chun to fight, and he personally stationed troops on the slope to suppress the formation.
Cao Chun's two generals, Bu Fu and Sun Lan, came out of the battle, and just wanted to scold, Huang Zhong Pegasus killed, and was chopped in half with a knife. The fighting general was ineffective, Cao Chun's whole army pressed and fought with Huang Zhong, and the two sides rushed back and forth on the shore.
Cao Chun couldn't resist it, Cao Jun was killed and retreated, Cao Cao was not surprised but rejoiced, only to see Huang Zhong's large array being pulled and scattered like a long snake array.
Cao Cao gave an order, took the opportunity to attack Huang Zhong back and forth, and the two sides fought a scuffle, but Huang Zhong couldn't resist and led the army to retreat. Cao Cao seized the road and fled north, only to see Zhuo in Yingchuan City on the opposite bank, and the pennant fluttering on the north bank, Cao Cao did not dare to move forward. To the north of Yingchuan and to the south of the Yellow River, there is the main force of Zhang Liao, and Cao Cao crossed the river, which is tantamount to a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger.
Cao Cao hesitated, not knowing where to return to Jizhou. Just lit the fire, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry roared behind him and got up again, it turned out that Huang Zhong went and returned, the two sides fought together, Cao Cao ordered to take the mountain road and go, and throw off the cavalry.
The sound of horses' hooves was gradually left behind, Cao Cao's heart was fixed, the armor of the armor around him hung obliquely, the spear was a staff, and there were only two or three hundred people left. Cao Cao was in the mood to look around at this time, only to see that the mountains were undulating and steep, the forest was dense and deep, and unconsciously, Cao Cao had entered Songshan with his men and horses.
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed: "If I use soldiers, I will set up an ambush here in advance, and it will be impossible to escape with wings." Lu Bu Xu Shu's plan is nothing more than that. β
Cao Cao sent people to reconnoitre, and after a short time, the scouts reported: There is smoke billowing from the mountains, and there must be ambushes.
Cao Cao was determined in his heart, and led the remnants of the army only to the depths. The generals were puzzled: "At the beacon fire, there will be ambushes." Why did the prime minister choose this path? β
Cao Cao laughed and replied: "Fiction is real, and reality is fiction." The smoke on the road ahead is that Lu Bu taught me not to dare to take this road, and I must have already set up an elite ambush on the road. I've predicted that I won't be able to do what he wants. β
The Songshan trail is inconvenient to walk, people are sleepy and lacking, thorns are thick, there are many people who have lost their footing, and those who have fallen to the ground. Cao Cao taught the sergeant to cook with the front. The soldier was tired, and sat on the ground, and threw his blades on the ground in disarray, and in a moment there was a snoring sound,
Before the food was made, the drums on both sides were loud, and the Cao soldiers in their sleep panicked, competing for the nearest weapon around them. Many soldiers couldn't find the blades, so they escorted Cao Cao on his horse and rushed straight into the dense forest.
Pound shouted angrily and led the crossbow battalion into the dense forest.
As soon as he arrived at the mountain pass in front of him, Cao Cao was so shocked that he fell off his horse, only to see the lack of white cliffs on both sides, and a high-lettered banner flying in the wind between the valleys.
"High ...... Gao Shun, trapped...... Stuck in the camp? Cao Cao asked tremblingly, pointing to the banner of Gao Shun.
Cheng Yu was frightened, his face was bloodless, looking back at the soldiers around him, many of them were injured, how could he be trapped in the camp? sighed: "A certain family has been fighting in the south and north with the lord all his life, but he never expected that today he would be at the end of the road, there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to go to the earth. β
After that, he drew his sword and killed himself.
Cheng Yu's blood splattered five steps, Cao Cao raised his arm weakly, wanting to stop it, but it was too late, weakly retracted his stretched arm and pounded the ground, tears streaming down his face. At the place of violent mood fluctuations, Cao Cao was angry and spurted out a mouthful of purple-black old blood.
"Sir......" Xun You shook the guard's hands and pressed his neck to prevent blood from spraying Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu was powerless to leave a desolate smile. At this time, Cao Cao vomited blood, and Xun You hurriedly turned around: "Prime Minister!" Military doctors, quick pass military doctors. β
"Where are the military doctors here?" Cao Cao's face was as white as paper, and then he said resolutely: "Since you have come to this point, you should fight to the death!" β
Everyone knew that this matter was no longer good, and they all fought hard and wanted to fight to the death. Even if the sergeant is not afraid, his strength is exhausted, his physical strength is exhausted, and he can fight?
Gao Shun and Pang De were pressed together, and the generals could no longer sit firmly, and even the civil officials could not care about the reserve of the scribes, so they drew their swords at their waists and rushed forward to fight hand-to-hand with the trapped camp and the crossbow battalion.
Cao Cao personally took off the sword at his waist, rushed forward, leaned on the heavenly sword in one hand and opened the bow left and right with the Qingyu sword in the other, and the sword entered the body, cutting the trapped soldier into two.
Pang De was eager for meritorious service, afraid of being picked off by Gao Shun Cao Cao's head, and when he saw Cao Cao rushing towards him, he was overjoyed, and he crossed the longbow diagonally and carried a machete to meet him.
"It will be Pang De, the courage is not reduced, Ma Chao, the prime minister is leaving!" Behind Cao Cao, a member of the Xiliang man flashed out and blocked in front of Cao Cao. The person with a fierce face in front of him was Pang De, Cao Cao was shocked for a while, and hurriedly retreated.
"Hey!"
Pang De approached, shouted, used all his brute strength, and slashed at the big man who was blocking Cao Cao's body. Xiliang Dahan was far inferior to Pang De in both strength and martial arts, and when he just raised his sword to meet him, his whole body flew into the air and crashed out.
Pang De knocked the Xiliang big man away, and without slowing down his feet, he chased Cao Cao into the crowd in the distance. Before Cao Cao could retreat, he tore off the python robe, a symbol of his status, only to feel a strong attack on his back, and his body flipped in the air.
Cao Cao only felt that his back was painful, his face was rubbed on the ground like fire, and he didn't dare to stay on the ground.
"The long-bearded dwarf in front is the Cao thief, and the general of the town army will intercept and kill him!" Pang De was entangled by several Cao generals who came forward to desperately rescue Cao Cao's men and horses, and had to cry anxiously and angrily.
When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly picked up a broken sword and cut his beard, but the soldiers in the camp had already captured and killed the outlaw Cao Jun one by one, and now there were very few Cao soldiers who could still stand, and Cao Cao looked very abrupt in the crowd.
Cao Cao panicked, crashed into the trapped camp group, countless sharp knives slashed, Cao Cao let out a long breath, improvised, wanted to chant a poem, and finally turned into a sigh. In the shadow of the sword and sword, Cao Cao recalled the glory of the sunset, stomped his feet, and the land of China trembled, but today he fell into a different place, and the huge ups and downs made Cao Cao have a headache like thousands of ants gnawing on it.
"Ahh With a loud scream, before the sword could hit him, blood spilled from his mouth, nose and eyes, and he was tortured to death by a headache.
A generation of heroes ended, and the battle in the north finally ended briefly with Cao Cao's death.
"Prime Minister!" In the distance, Xun Yu rushed forward and angrily reprimanded the soldiers who were about to cut off Cao Cao's head. How could a soldier in the camp be intimidated by the enemy scribes? The sword slashed towards Xun You.
"Stop!" Gao Shun stopped and said: "Mr. Xun You is a loyal and good member of the Han family, how can he be harmed?" β
