Chapter 117: Cao Hong retreats
Out of the city, Cao Hong reunited with the army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In a hidden area outside the city, the two lieutenant generals who were holding a small meeting suddenly felt as if something was approaching, and immediately ordered their men and horses to be on guard. Then the two of them each carried their swords and guarded carefully, and they were about to send someone over to check the situation.
Without waiting for the two of them to send someone to investigate, Cao Hong slowly walked out of the tall grass not far away.
The two lieutenant generals saw that it was the general who had returned, and hurriedly stepped forward to report the situation, "General, nothing major happened, but the eighteen elite soldiers who entered the city with you have just returned together, saying that you asked them to withdraw first." ”
Another lieutenant added, "One of the elite soldiers was also seriously wounded. But fortunately, I came back in time and let people deal with it urgently, so it's okay for the time being. ”
Cao Hong was silent, nodded, and then continued to walk to his war horse and changed back into a piece of armor.
Quietly relieved, Cao Hong still attaches great importance to these subordinates, not to mention that this subordinate is still injured for himself.
When he heard that he was no longer in trouble, Cao Hong really felt as if a big stone in his heart had finally landed, and the whole person was relaxed.
"Withdraw the troops, let's go back." Cao Hong suddenly said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the two lieutenants immediately stepped forward together and asked suspiciously: "Why is this general?" We should not have achieved the purpose of this trip. So how to go back with the main bus generation? ”
Cao Hong slowly sat down on the small stone and shook his head, then sighed and said, "Things are a bit beyond the expectations of the lord and me. Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that just now, we have already left the Chen Mansion, but I don't know where to run out of the master, and his skills are extraordinary. If it's a horse battle, I won't lose to him, but I'm afraid it's ...... foot battle I'm afraid it's no match for him. ”
After hearing this, the two generals looked at each other in disbelief, after all, in their eyes, Cao Hong's force was already beyond reach. This suddenly popped up and something even more powerful, which made people feel a little caught off guard.
The three of them fell into silence like this, and the feeling of silence made Cao Hong's trembling heart slowly calm down.
After adjusting his state, Cao got up and said, "Withdraw the army!" The lord's side is free to figure out a way. ”
The second general didn't say anything more, just nodded silently. Then he turned around and went to prepare for the withdrawal.
Cao Hong looked calmly in the direction of the city gate, not knowing what he was thinking.
......
And the Chen Mansion at this time.
Steward Xu, who survived, appeared at the gate outside the mansion and shouted to Chen Zhao, "Can you leave them behind?" ”
Chen Zhao, who was about to leave here and go back to the gambling house, couldn't help but pause, and said without looking back: "They ran away......
Steward Xu suddenly roared angrily: "How can you let them get away!" ”
"Huh~~"
A sharp halberd was inserted straight into the gate of Chen's mansion, and the trembling tail showed the strength of Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao was obviously angry, and shouted sideways: "You are just the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, don't meddle in things." Don't worry about what doesn't belong to you, take care of yourself first! ”
After warning Steward Xu, Chen Zhao slowly left from the trail.
Being yelled at by Chen Zhao like this, Steward Xu didn't react at first, and only after Chen Zhao walked away did he punch the door twice with a hideous face, both of which broke the skin of his hands and were dripping with blood.
It didn't take long for him to regain his composure. Then he wiped the blood stains on his hands with his clothes expressionlessly, and re-entered the Chen Mansion to deal with the follow-up matters.
......
"General, it's ready, ready to go."
Together with the two lieutenant generals, Cao Hong rode on his horse and directly led the five hundred black-armored light lins to move quickly in the direction of Pengcheng.
And the battle situation on the Pengcheng side at this time.
After the continuous offensive and defensive battles, Xuzhou still occupies a little advantage in the situation. But it's just a little bit, and it will be countered by Cao Jun at any time.
It was at this turning point that Chen Deng's proposed main defense clearly had an advantage. Relying on the favorable terrain of the fortified city and thick walls, the casualties of the Cao army have always been more than twice that of Xuzhou, and the morale of the Cao army has been greatly damaged by the long-term attack, which has affected the rhythm of the offensive.
In the dead of night, a stranger suddenly visited the Chen family's Beppu. It was this stranger who brought bad news to Chen Deng.
Since he had proved in advance that he was a person sent by Chen's village, all Chen Deng would urgently meet him at such a time.
Otherwise, even if there is something, who will be so bored in the middle of the night that they won't sleep to see you.
Although he did not go to the city wall to defend against the enemy in person, his tense nerves still made Chen Deng feel tired and uncomfortable.
Yawning and dragging a heavy bow, Chen Deng slowly walked into the living room.
"I don't know what? So eager. ”
Looking at this unknown stranger, Chen Deng asked out loud.
"Big young master! The second young master asked me to come and inform you that there is something wrong with the master's body, and I hope you will go back as soon as possible. ”
"What! How can it be...... When I went to see it not long ago, how could I ...... it", Chen Deng shouted excitedly. Then Chen Deng didn't say anything more, his face was silent.
The stranger who was sent to inform him saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and immediately retreated with interest.
Yuanlong is really entangled now, the war on Pengcheng's side has reached a white-hot stage, if he suddenly gives up Tao Muzhou at this time and runs back by himself, I really can't imagine what the result will be.
At that time, no matter what Tao Muzhou and other colleagues think, even Yuanlong himself will regret it.
I can't go back for the time being, but I must wait until the war here is over or when it stabilizes. Otherwise, I will really regret it.
Now that he had made a decision, Chen Deng called him in again and instructed carefully: "You work hard again, and rush out of the city at the speed of night." After arriving at Chenjiazhai, I told the second young master Yunsheng that I can't get away for the time being, and the war on Pengcheng's side has reached a critical moment, and I can't leave at this time. Let him help me take care of my father. ”
Looking at the person who was hurriedly preparing to leave the city in the night, Chen Deng watched silently, and then suddenly remembered what to do at the city gate at this time.
Chen Deng got up and called someone in, took off the jade pendant on his body, handed it to him, and ordered: "You hurry out of the mansion to catch up with the person just now, and then go to the city gate with him, and use this jade pendant in my name to let him go out of the city." ”
This was completely solved, and Chen Deng suddenly felt a rare sense of ease. Maybe it's because there's too much stuff backlog......
