Chapter 271: Don't do anything that is full of dangers
The morning sun is rising.
Behind the high wall, more than a dozen Yuan soldiers walked out.
The leader is Yuan Xu.
Out of the high wall, he walked leisurely towards White Horse City.
Walking slowly, Yuan Xu swayed gently on horseback, as if he was not going to the enemy's place, but to visit the garden to enjoy the flowers.
Only more than 100 steps away from the White Horse City Wall, Yuan Xu stopped, pointed to the head of the city and said to Yuan Jun behind him: "The White Horse City Wall is no more than five steps wide and no more than three people high, so it is easy to climb." ”
A Yuan Jun held Cai Hou's paper and quickly recorded what he said.
Yuan Xu pointed to the city gate again: "The city gate is thin, put a fire to burn it through!" ”
He instructed Yuan Jun outside the city to record the defensive defects of White Horse City, and at the head of the city, Zhang Liao and others looked at it from afar, and they were confused.
Early in the morning, when Zhang Liao and the others were still sleeping, a soldier reported that Yuan Xu had come to the city.
At first, they thought that Yuan's army was attacking the city, but after careful questioning, only Yuan Xu only brought more than ten soldiers to come.
didn't understand what he was going to do, Zhang Liao and the others hurried up to the city.
Looking at Yuan Xu, Guan Yu was also confused.
If he goes out of the city and pursues him with the strength of the red rabbit's feet, it will not take much effort to catch up.
"Yun Chang, you are familiar with Yuan Xianxin, do you know what he is going to do?" Zhang Liao asked.
"The person behind Yuan Xianxin seems to have something written." Guan Yu said: "Isn't he investigating the defense of our army? ”
Zhang Liao asked Liu Yan, "What does the envoy think?" ”
Liu Yan said suspiciously: "Yuan Xianxin only has 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and there are only 5,000 people in Yan Liang's old department. The two generals brought 2,000 soldiers, 1,000 under a certain command, and 3,000 defenders in the city, and he had no chance of winning! I don't think I'm here for the siege......"
"Others have no chance of winning, but Yuan Xianxin is difficult to say." Guan Yu said: "Explore the city defense. It's hard to guarantee that you won't be a siege! I once heard my brother mention that Yuan Xianxin's use of troops to use many tricks was often unexpected. ”
"Can Yun Chang go out of the city and take a look?" Zhang Liao said: "The red rabbit horse is ...... quickly"
"Yuan Xianxin is an old man." Guan Yu said: "I don't recognize Yan Liang, and I cut him with a knife." If you kill Yuan Xianxin, you still can't do it! Sticking to the white horse is incumbent. Kill Yuan Xianxin, please find someone else! ”
"That's it, I should know that Yun Chang will be like this." Zhang Liao instructed the soldiers: "Send the order to go down, order five hundred soldiers and horses, and go out of the city with a certain person to capture Yuan Xu." ”
"General! Be careful! Liu Yan reminded.
With a thanks, Zhang Liao ran down the city wall.
After a while, the city gate opened, and hundreds of Cao troops poured out of the city.
The soldier behind Yuan Xu pointed out: "Childe, Cao Jun is out of the city!" ”
Looking towards the city gate, Yuan Xu saw a member of the Cao General rushing over with hundreds of soldiers.
He turned his horse and shouted, "Go back quickly!" ”
More than a dozen people turned around. Follow Yuan Xu to the high wall.
"Don't leave Yuan Xu!" Riding his horse and galloping, Zhang Liao shouted loudly.
On the wall, Zhao Yi saw Cao Jun go out of the city, but Yuan Xu had not yet arrived at the position where Ma Yi had set up an ambush, he clenched his fists, and his nervous forehead was bulging.
Yuan Xu didn't look back all the way.
The sound of hooves was rolling behind him, and Cao Jun was in hot pursuit.
The night before, they were dormant in the middle of the road, and Ma Yi and the five hundred Yuan troops under his command had already been unable to resist the urge to kill.
Fifty steps!
Thirty steps!
Twenty steps!
Five steps!
Passed!
Yuan Xu and the others rushed in front of them. Ma Yi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the centurion on the side.
The centurion nodded behind him.
Five hundred Yuan troops clenched their blades. A pair of eyes stared at Cao Jun who was getting closer and closer.
Zhang Liao rushed to the horse, and Ma Yi shouted: "Stumbling horses!" ”
Several Yuan soldiers pulled the rope violently, and Zhang Liao, who rushed to the front, only felt that the front hooves of the war horse under his crotch were weak.
The horse was tripped by the rope, and at the same time as it flew out, Zhang Liao's big knife slammed into the ground and jumped in the air.
The tumbling and falling war horse was like a huge stick. Slammed it on his waist.
Zhang Liao rolled and flew out with a knife in one hand, and landed on his back when he fell.
He felt a tightness in his chest, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Cao Jun, who was following him, couldn't catch his horse and fell down.
Some of the soldiers of the Cao Army who landed on the ground were killed on the spot by falling their heads and brains. There were also some who did not fall to their deaths, but were smashed by the horses that flew after them.
Cao Jun, who was following behind, realized that the situation was wrong and hurriedly reined in his horse.
Before they could collect their horses, shouts of slaughter rang from the side, and countless arrows whizzed from both wings.
Caught off guard, Cao Jun fell one after another.
Zhang Liao, who fell off the horse, only felt that the bones in his body seemed to be scattered.
He stood up and leapt at a horse not far away.
Turning over his horse, he endured the severe pain all over his body, swept away the flying feather arrows, and rode his horse towards White Horse City.
Five hundred Cao troops, followed Zhang Liao back with only a few dozen horsemen.
Ma Yi took Yuan Jun and shot a puff of feather arrows and rushed towards Cao Jun.
Zhang Liao went away, and only the war horses and the corpses of Cao Jun were left in the ambush.
There were also horses and men who did not die, but fell to the ground neighing or wailing in pain.
Carrying a big knife and walking to the place where Cao Jun was lying down, Ma Yi ordered: "Don't leave any of them, kill them all!" ”
The soldiers of the Yuan army stepped forward one after another, searching for the Cao army, who did not die.
The injured Cao Jun not only failed to receive treatment, but was replaced with a sword.
It didn't take long for only the corpses left on the battlefield.
Yuan Xu returned to the high wall, and Zhao Yi hurriedly greeted him.
"Childe is frightened." Helping Yuan Xu dismount, Zhao Yi said: "Such a dangerous thing must never happen again!" ”
"It's a little thing, it's not worth talking about." Yuan Xu smiled: "It's a pity that I got rid of Zhang Wenyuan." ”
"Looking at the wall, Zhang Wenyuan is really good." Zhao Yi said: "Not to mention falling off the horse, I was also smashed by the war horse." If ordinary people have already broken their stomachs and intestines, they have become a puddle of meat puree. He not only got up but also found a horse to escape. ”
"It shows that Cao Cao has many talents." Yuan Xu said: "To be an enemy, you must not be negligent!" ”
"That's what Childe said." Zhao Yi responded and accompanied Yuan Xu to the wall.
It didn't take much for Ma Yi to bring people back.
"Childe!" On the wall, he bowed to Yuan Xu: "In this battle, 473 Cao troops were annihilated, and more than 20 people escaped, and our army was not damaged. After this battle, the morale of the officers and men of the three armies will soar and they will be full of fighting spirit! ”
Yuan Xu said: "After this battle, the Cao army will definitely close the city, and we must also stick to the defense line to prepare for the big battle!" ”
He went out of the city to pursue Yuan Xu but lost hundreds of soldiers, and Zhang Liao was also seriously injured.
When he returned to the White Horse and entered the city gate, he could no longer hold himself and fall off his horse.
Several Cao soldiers hurriedly helped him up.
Seeing this, Liu Yan, who came in a hurry, hurriedly ordered Cao Jun, who was present: "Quickly ask for a doctor for the wounded." ”
A Cao army flew into the city in response.
At the head of the city, Guan Yu looked at the wall in the distance, as if he didn't care about Zhang Liao's injury. (To be continued.) )
