Chapter 33 Killing Cao Bao II
"Oh, a few of you can't make any tricks in my Tancheng, so I'll let you live for a while" Cao Bao waved his hand left and right.
"Can you untie me up?"
Cao Bao hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and saw that there were more than 20 of his own personal soldiers in the hall, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at the guards and said: "You loosen the ties for him" The personal guards understood that Cao Bao was afraid that the person would suddenly become difficult, and there were ten people around Hula, two of whom were untied by the yellow-faced man.
The yellow-faced man moved his wrist, took off his shirt with a "tear pull", turned his back to Cao Bao and said, "My lord, please look"
Cao Bao and the potter took two steps forward, only to see that there was no intact skin on the man's back, densely covered with whip marks, and the two couldn't help but gasp, how can a word "miserable" be described.
Ignoring everyone's surprised eyes, the man slowly walked behind the other people, and tore all the clothes on the backs of several people along the blank space of the rope. The backs of several people were also full of flesh and blood, and even the place where the rope was bound was strangled to blood.
Cao Bao and the others were so shocked that they couldn't speak when they saw such a shocking scene, and even one of the pro-soldiers turned around and covered their mouths so that they couldn't spit it out.
"My lord" The yellow-faced man choked up and said: "The villain's name is Li Cheng, these are all brothers who have suffered with me in the past few days, Zhang Fei's siege of the city is unfavorable, he drinks every day, and when he gets drunk, he will take us and so on, and he will usually smoke a few whips to get rid of his anger, but these days have become more and more brutal, and I really can't stand Zhang Fei's atrocities, so I took advantage of Zhang Fei's drunkenness and unconsciousness, and the guards in the camp were lax to come here to join the adults, and I hope that the adults will pity me and so on." ”
"If you don't take us in, we will be whipped to death by Zhang Fei sooner or later," the other kowtowed and begged.
"Alas!" The potter sighed and said, "I didn't expect Zhang Fei to be so brutal, this clearly doesn't treat you as a human being."
Cao Bao pondered for a while and said: "Just now you said that Zhang Fei is drunk and unconscious, and the guards in the camp are lax."
"That's true, multi-day challenge, you can't hold on, now the soldiers in the battalion have no morale, and the main general drinks every day, and the soldiers under him are unmanaged, and now the soldiers have long been out of battle**. Zhang Fei was drunk again this evening, and now he is lying drunk in the tent of the Chinese army," Li Cheng replied affirmatively.
Cao Bao asked in detail about the layout of the camp, and Li Cheng answered honestly while recalling.
After asking, Cao Bao and the potter exchanged glances, and they both nodded at the same time.
Cao Bao stepped forward to support Li Cheng and sighed: "You have really suffered, today you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, since you belong to me, I, Cao Bao, will definitely avenge you and others."
"Thank you, sir, for having mercy on me."
"The grace of adults is like recreation"
"En" Cao Bao waved his hand to stop a few people from saying gratefully: "I intend to raise troops immediately, kill Zhang Fei, and avenge you, you are willing to join the army in the war." After that, his eyes were shining, and he glanced at Li Cheng and the others. Although Cao Bao saw the injuries on Li Cheng and the others and knew that it was true, the cautious Cao Bao still made a tentative speech. If a few people readily agree, then most of them are fraudulent. If they hesitate, then they should have surrendered sincerely.
Several people showed frightened expressions when they heard this, and unconsciously lowered their heads. With Zhang Fei's notoriety, this reaction made Cao Bao very satisfied, and the doubts in his heart were completely eliminated.
After a moment of silence, Li Cheng raised his head fiercely, gritted his teeth, and said firmly: "We are familiar with the layout of the camp, and we are willing to guide the army to kill Zhang Fei for the front." ”
"If he is unkind, he will blame me for waiting for injustice," the other man also shouted, "hiss" The man then cried out in pain, probably too excited to tug at the wound
"If you capture and kill Zhang Fei, you should take the first credit" Cao Bao smiled and nodded: "But the wound you are waiting for is ......" Then he frowned and looked at a few people.
"Don't get in the way, you can still keep up with the army if you endure it," Li Chengdao said.
"It's a man" Cao Bao praised and then said to his own soldiers: "Go to the best medical officer in the army to give a few brothers a good treatment and bandage, and at the same time send orders to all departments and schools to gather, I will capture Zhang Fei alive tonight."
"No" two personal soldiers quickly ran out.
"Thank you, sir."
"The general is merciful, I will swear to follow the general to the death in the future"
Li Cheng and the others knelt down gratefully and thanked him.
At the fourth watch, Cao Bao ordered his younger brother Cao Lin and the pottery merchant to defend the city, and then he and Cao Feng ordered 5,000 elites to take Li Cheng and eight people to quietly kill Zhang Fei's military camp.
Cao Bao's army easily broke through the gate guarded by a few people, under the guidance of Li Cheng and others, Cao Bao ordered Cao Feng to rush to kill on all sides, and he rushed to the Chinese military tent with hundreds of personal soldiers, and saw from a distance that there was still a faint light in the Chinese military tent, Zhang Fei was lying on the military case and sleeping soundly.
"God help me and" Cao Bao was overjoyed, Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, today to capture Zhang Fei, Liu Bei will definitely throw a mouse trap in the future, and then gain time to get Cao Cao's assistance, and he will be able to recapture Xuzhou.
"Rush, capture Zhang Fei alive" Cao Bao waved his spear and rushed towards the Chinese military tent.
Cao Bao and dozens of his subordinates had already squeezed into the Chinese military tent, but Zhang Fei still did not react, and still slept soundly with his back to him.
Cao Bao didn't feel alarmed, could it be that Zhang Fei was really drunk and unconscious, Cao Bao cheered himself up in his heart.
"Tie up" Cao Bao shouted, and several pro-soldiers quickly stepped forward.
"It's not good, general, these ten dummies" The soldiers just turned Zhang Fei's body, but found that it was just a straw man wearing Zhang Fei's clothes, and then shouted loudly.
"I fell for Zhang Fei's plan," Cao Bao exclaimed and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly withdraw to Tancheng."
At this moment, countless rockets were fired into the camp, and fire broke out on all sides. Cao Feng led his men and horses to rush into several camps in a row, but he didn't see Zhang Fei's soldiers, and he knew that he was in the middle of the plan, and he was injured by rockets from all sides in a hurry. The soldiers knew that they had been ambushed by the enemy, coupled with Zhang Fei's murderous reputation in the past, they had no intention of fighting and fled in all directions, and Cao Feng couldn't stop drinking at all.
"Kill" Zhang Fei's elite soldiers, who had already been ambushed around the camp, entered the camp, and under the leadership of Zhang Fei's subordinate battalion Sima, they quickly surrounded and suppressed the Cao Bao soldiers, and the scattered Cao Bao soldiers were either beheaded or kneeling and begging.
Zhang Fei broke into the direction of the Chinese military tent like a whirlwind, "poof, puff" Cao Bao's personal soldiers were like cutting melons and vegetables, Zhang Fei speared a spear, and none of his subordinates were together, Cao Bao hurriedly withdrew from the Chinese military tent, and was catching up with Zhang Fei who was like a killing god.
"Cao Bao Piff, take your head today" Zhang Fei shouted, raised the spear and stabbed, Cao Bao hurriedly responded, not three-fold, a spear pierced the heart, "poof" Cao Bao opened his mouth and spit out a puddle of blood, staring at the disbelief of the eyes slowly fell from the horse to the ground, dead can no longer die.
"Cao Bao is dead, when will you wait if you don't surrender?" Zhang Fei provoked Cao Bao's head and shouted, and the sound was like a bell, spreading throughout the entire military camp.
"Surrender or kill," the sergeants shouted.
Cao Bao's soldiers saw the main general's head from afar, and they didn't have much will to fight, and now they put down their weapons one after another, not making senseless resistance. Cao Bao's 5,000 elites were burned to death, more than 2,000 were killed, more than 1,000 surrendered, and the rest scattered and fled, only Cao Feng fled in the direction of Tancheng with dozens of cronies around him. And Zhang Fei's men and horses had almost nothing to lose.
Zhang Fei left a few hundred people to guard the surrendered troops, and then chased the soldiers and horses in the camp to Tancheng.
