"Son of a bitch, rebels, come on!"

After replenishing a large number of feather arrows, the morale of the Han army defending the city suddenly burned to the extreme, and the fighting spirit suddenly exploded. Because of the helplessness and humiliation brought about by the crossbow and arrows, Shicai was thrown out of the clouds in an instant.

Each crossbowman's quiver was filled with brand-new feather arrows, standing on the city wall and pulling the bowstring like a full moon, the Cao soldiers who charged towards the city poured a wave of arrow rain, like rain after a long drought, happy and dripping.

"Whoosh ......"

The arrows on the city rained down, better than the torrential rain, and mixed with the hatred of the defenders, and the strength was stronger.

I could only hear the clanging sound of the armor one after another, and the Cao army, who thought that the arrows in the city were exhausted and charged unscrupulously, were caught off guard, and the pieces that were shot fell in piles, and the screams came and went.

Cao Cao, who had received the reward on the Queen Mother Slope, stood at the door of the handsome tent, looking at the starry Kong Ming Lantern in the sky over Hefei, revealing a heart-wrenching gaze, and muttered: "Kong Ming Lantern? Is this the legendary Kong Ming lantern? Sure enough, it can fly in the sky, it seems that Hefei can't take it down......"

When he said this, Cao Cao's heart ached, and he couldn't help coughing violently: "Ahem...... Counting the number of people killed tonight, my Great Wei has at least filled in the lives of 40,000 soldiers under Hefei City, right? Forty thousand people, who died in vain......"

Taking advantage of Liu Wei's personal expedition to Bashu, Yue Feiwancheng's fierce battle against Yang Su, Li Jinghebei's defense against Li Tang, Wu Qi's expedition to Guishuang, and the emptiness of Huainan Jiangdong, Cao Cao almost poured the country's strength south, but he couldn't even take a single Hefei. This made Cao Cao's heart can't help but have a strong sense of frustration, if Liu argues against the Western Han Dynasty, what will he use to compete with the Eastern Han Dynasty for dominance?

"Ahem......" Cao Cao finally stopped after coughing continuously, his eyes swept at Sima Yi, Kuai Liang, Lu Qian and others next to him, and said in a deep voice, "The general trend has gone, Hefei is afraid that it will not be able to take it, if Zhuge Liang breaks through Shitang Town, it will be attacked by the Han army in front and rear." Immediately execute the second set of plans, and let out the news, saying that I was injured by Xue Rengui's heart, died of cure, and died outside Hefei City! ”

"Obey the Divine Commandment!" Sima Yi curled his slender and long neck into the placket of his clothes and murmured: "The Kong Ming lantern made by this Zhuge villager is so good, it seems that Your Majesty has met a strong enemy!" ”

The sound of killing on the city wall of Hefei shook the sky, and Dian Wei was leading dozens of Cao soldiers who climbed up to the city to fight to the death, trying to break through a gap and catch the Cao soldiers at the foot of the city wall climbing up continuously. It was only that the defenders who saw the dawn of victory had a great increase in confidence, and fought bravely under the leadership of Lu Junyi, becoming more and more courageous, forming a siege of the Cao army on the city wall.

Jiang Wei saw in the air that the Cao soldiers on the city wall were fierce and brave, and would rather die than retreat, so he slowly lowered the Kong Ming lantern at the moment, filled the repeater with ten short crossbows again, and fired at Dian Wei and the Tiger Guards.

Dian Wei was already on guard against the paratroopers in the air, and when he heard the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, he waved the double halberds impenetrable, splashing water and making it difficult to enter, and shot down all the bows and crossbows that came from the air.

It's just that the other tiger guards around Dian Wei don't have such great ability, and they were shot angrily by Jiang Wei and other paratroopers, at least more than half of them were shot by the crossbows, and they fell off the city screaming. The remaining Cao soldiers were outnumbered and expelled from the city walls. If you continue to support it, you can only be chopped into pulp, and there may be a way to survive if you jump down, and in desperation, many Tiger Guards can only jump off the three-and-a-half-zhang city wall.

The Han paratroopers were each equipped with twenty short crossbows, and after the shooting, there were no more, Jiang Wei continued to land Kong Ming lanterns, and at the same time passed down the order: "The whole army will land in Hefei City and assist the defenders to resist Cao Wei's attack!" ”

With Jiang Wei's order, the starry Kong Ming lanterns in the sky fell one after another, either on the city wall, or on the roofs of the houses in the city, or on the streets and alleys. Of course, there were also unlucky guys who were hung in the air by the branches, but fortunately, the people in the city were ready to respond, and immediately carried ladders to rescue the heroes from the branches.

"Hohoo...... Don't retreat, hold me back! ”

In the face of the counterattack of the Han army, Dian Wei brandished his halberd and roared and ordered Cao Bing to resist. Although Dian Wei had already slashed and killed dozens of Han soldiers, he was subject to Lu Junyi's entanglement and could not kill the Quartet, so he could only watch as the Cao soldiers around him were driven down from the city wall one by one.

"Woo ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

A desolate and melodious horn suddenly sounded on the slope of the Queen Mother, which was a signal to withdraw the troops, and a signal to retreat in a big way.

At the same time, dozens of Cao Jun heralds galloped down from the hillside, and shouted an order while galloping: "Your Majesty was shot by Xue Li and has died on the Queen Mother Slope!" Prime Minister Fan Cheng has an order, the whole army retreats! ”

"What? Your Majesty has died? ”

Dian Wei was shocked and angry, roared and waved his halberd to force Lu Junyi back, stepped out and stepped on the ladder, and in the middle, he relied on the iron halberd to hook the beam of the ladder to unload the force of the fall, and finally landed unscathed.

In the end, he rolled on the spot, dodged the rain of arrows from the **** on the city, and got up and left unharmed. While running towards the Queen Mother Slope, he roared in his throat: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't die like this!" ”

Seeing Dian Wei coming and going freely among thousands of troops, Lu Junyi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This guy is so brave, he really comes to reincarnate evil!" ”

Seeing that Cao Jun was in a panic, and seeing Dian Wei's cry from the bottom of his heart, Lu Junyi couldn't help but believe Cao Cao's death, and immediately took the unicorn point steel gun and rushed towards the north city gate, and at the same time passed down the order: "Open the stone built by the north city gate as quickly as possible, Cao Jun is about to retreat, and he will lead his troops to pursue!" ”

Among the main generals of the Cao army, in addition to a few reckless people such as Dian Wei and Cao Hong, others including Cao Ren, Cao Shen, Cao Wenzhao, Han Baohu and others all learned of Cao Cao's plan. At this moment, when the horn sounded, the soldiers flew to report the news of Cao Cao's death, and immediately acted according to the plan, and organized the troops and horses to retreat to the north in an orderly manner.

Dian Wei cried and returned to the tent, only to find out the inside story of Cao Cao's fraudulent death, only then did he turn his worries into joy, and Cao Cao ordered him to break off with Xu Chu. Escorted the army to retreat in the direction of Hefei and lured the Han army to pursue.

In the night, Cao Cao, who had less than 100,000 soldiers at the foot of the city wall, began to retreat northward, Cao Cao disguised himself as an ordinary staff member and Fan Zeng, Sima Yi, Kuai Liang and others rushed first, and the other Cao Shen, Han Baohu, Wen Ping, Shi Jin, Sima Cuo and others each restrained their own troops, pretending to retreat in panic and lose their armor.

Looking at the hasty retreat of the Cao army, the people in Hefei City were boiling, and the soldiers raised their weapons in their hands to celebrate wildly: "The Cao army has retreated, the Cao army has retreated, the Cao thief has been shot to death, God bless the big man!" ”

Lu Junyi has gathered more than 10,000 horses at the north city gate, and after the city gate is cleared, he immediately turned over and rode his horse, and made a move with a spear in his hand: "Soldiers, Cao thief is dead, Cao Junjun's heart has collapsed, everyone follow me out of the city to chase, there will be a harvest!" ”

Jiang Wei, who had just landed at the head of the city, hurriedly came to stop: "General Lu, slow down, Cao Cao suddenly came out with the news of his death, which is only afraid of deception, and you must not take the enemy lightly." It's not too late to wait for General Zuo and Xue Zhenbei to come to Hefei City before making a decision! ”

"Yes, what Jiang Boyo said is reasonable, Cao Cao suddenly reported the bad news of death, I am afraid that there is fraud in it!" Zhu Sheng also came over to dissuade Lu Junyi, "Besides, although the Cao army died about 40,000 in battle, there are still nearly 100,000, and the general only led more than 10,000 people to pursue, I'm afraid it will be difficult to perform?" ”

Lu Junyi was stubborn, stroked his beard and said, "Don't you two hear the speed of the soldiers?" The Lu of the food king, should repay the king's kindness! I saw Xue Zhenbei shoot Cao Cao on the city wall, and I was only two hundred zhang away from me at that time, and I saw Cao Cao being rescued by Xu Chu without saying a word. ”

After a pause, he said categorically: "Xue Zhenbei's archery skills come to you and you know, it is normal to shoot Cao thief to death with one arrow. As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, I see that there is a great opportunity in front of me, how can I be afraid of life, afraid of death, and miss the opportunity? How can you be worthy of Your Majesty's love and the court's kindness? ”

Jiang Wei admonished: "General Lu, Cao Ren's defenders in Shitang Town have not retreated, and Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses in Jinniuwu have also not retreated. The general and I can each lead a team of soldiers and horses to kill two places, and fight back and forth with General Zhuge and Xue Zhenbei, and they can also make contributions! ”

Lu Junyi stroked his beard and arbitrarily stopped Jiang Wei's suggestion: "Cao Jun can't attack for a long time, the army's morale has been weakened, and Cao Cao's sudden death has made Cao Jun's morale collapse, and he will no longer have the fighting spirit." Even if there are millions of dollars, there is no need to be afraid, I will lead 10,000 horses to pursue, Jiang Bo asked you and Ma Dai to go to Shitang Town and Jinniuwu! ”

Ma Dai arched his hand and said: "General Lu is full of spirits, and his heart to serve the country is overflowing, and the last general is willing to pursue with you!" ”

Lu Junyi was overjoyed, stroked his beard and said: "Haha, great, with Ma Bozhan's help, great things can be done!" ”

Jiang Wei wanted to stop him, but he was shouted by Lu Junyi: "General Boyo, you and I are at the same level, and you are a guest from afar." Xue Zhenbei is not in the city, I am the chief general of Hefei, and I hope you don't want to stop me from using troops. The soldiers have been holding out for so long, it's time to go out of the city to make some achievements! ”

Jiang Wei had no choice but to turn over and lead the paratroopers and 5,000 defenders to kill Shitang Town, intending to attack Zhuge Liang before and after, and at the same time report the news of Lu Junyi's pursuit of Cao Cao.

Lu Junyi gathered more than 5,000 horses, expanded the pursuit team to 15,000 people, personally rode horses and guns to chase after him, and ordered Ma Dai to break down. Only Zhu Sheng and Hua Xin led seven or eight thousand people to continue to hold the city, so as not to have an accident.

After Cao Ren received Cao Cao's plan to cheat death in Shitang Town, he immediately ordered the firewood prepared in advance to be burned, blocking the road, and then retreating in the direction of Qinglongling, dodging the road for Zhuge Liang to pursue.

In the Jinniuwu battle, Cao Wenzhao and Jia Fu of Xue Rengui and Wei Chigong also led their troops to retreat in the direction of Zhongli County in the north after receiving orders. After Cao Wenzhao led 7,000 tigers and leopards to ride off, he also opened the way for Xue Rengui to catch up with the main army. The bait has been laid, so it's up to you to see if the big fish catches the bait! (To be continued.) )
