Chapter 848: Prey Comes to the Door
As the city gate slowly opened, the procession, led by Wang Lang, headed south.
This team was very large, and there were countless family members of dignitaries and dignitaries. But the most noble belonged to one of the carriages.
It's very luxurious, and there are a lot of guards around it.
It was the carriage that Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Bian, was riding.
At this moment, Mrs. Bian was holding a young son of Cao Bu in her arms, and her face was full of sadness.
"Let's hope the father and son can be safe." Mrs. Bian Lou Lou Lou was the young grandson in Lou's arms, and said secretly in her heart.
She had already made up her mind if she was captured by the Chu army. When poisoned and died.
And at the moment, the east of the city.
There was another sturdy team waiting to get out of the city, this team was all adults, all able to ride horses, not a single carriage. When the Liuqing Dynasty, Zuo Zhonglang General Xiahou Shang, the eldest prince Cao Bu and some of Cao Cao's other sons were all there.
At this moment, everyone's faces were a little sad. The rest of the ministers were okay, thinking that Lu Xun of Chu State was from a scholar clan, and even if he captured their families, it would not be a big deal.
And Cao Bu's brothers are different, if their mother's underage brother is caught by the Chu army, the situation can be imagined.
But they just can't break through with the old and weak.
"Woohoo." Cao Bu's younger brother Cao Xiong is only fifteen years old, not an adult, but he is skilled in leading horses and can ride horses, so he also brought them. At this moment, Cao Xiong whined and cried.
"A manly man, be fearless in the face of danger. Don't be this little child. Cao Bu was not happy in his heart, and when he heard Cao Xiong's crying, he couldn't help but be more annoyed, and snorted coldly.
"Hmm." Cao Bu, as the eldest brother, has always been powerful, although Cao Xiong still felt sad, but he also held back and stopped crying. It's just that the eye sockets are still very red, and there is an occasional sob.
"Father, I'm sleepy." At this time, a childish voice sounded beside Cao Bu.
It's a little boy, and he looks very delicate. This is the famous Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui in later generations. An immediate emperor who knows the strength of the army.
"Cheer up, don't sleep at night." Cao Bu said, and he was also very cold and hard. Although he is kind in his heart, he is about to face a breakthrough, and Cao Bu's heart is unstable.
Seeing his father speak coldly, Cao Rui's heart suddenly burst out, and he stopped talking obediently.
In this atmosphere, about half an hour passed.
Xiahou Shang asked the people below about the time, and knew in his heart that it was already time to leave. couldn't help but take a few steps forward, came to Cao Bu's side, and said in a low voice: "Ziheng is almost there." β
"Hmm." Cao Bushen nodded.
Seeing this, Xiahou Shang immediately turned around and gave an order, and soon everyone began to cheer up. Because they know it's time to break out.
Immediately, Cao Bu sat on the horse with the young Cao Rui in his arms. Soon after, Xiahou Shang led Cao Cao's 1,000 guards to the front.
All the same iron armor, Wei knife. The eyes are very sharp, revealing a kind of firmness and belief. This is a strong army, and tonight, Cao Bu and others will break through, so it will all depend on this elite army.
Some of the miscellaneous soldiers on the other sides were only used for cover.
"Kaesong." When everything was arranged, Xiahou Shang gave an order.
The gate of Qiu Cheng was once again opened, and a thousand guards were in the middle of the former Cao Bu and other dignitaries, and some auxiliaries were behind them.
Running into the vastness.
β¦β¦
The team of suspicious soldiers in the south of the city is still moving forward rapidly.
Wang Langben has a will to die in his heart. Therefore, all the way to the tense face, right hand holding the hilt of the sword at the waist, ready to make a move as soon as the wind blows, immediately cross the sword to create its own.
But they walked for half an hour, and they didn't even find a single ambush.
Suddenly, Wang Lang's heart was full of doubts.
The one missing one must be a trap. This is a military classic. But most of the ambush soldiers will not lie too far in ambush.
And they had been gone for almost half an hour.
Although they were all old and weak, they were in a carriage, and the entourage around them were all strong men, and the speed of the march was very fast. But there were still no ambushes.
What the hell is going on.
Wang Lang couldn't help frowning and thinking hard.
After about half an hour of walking, Wang Lang's complexion suddenly changed and he shouted, "Stop." β
Immediately, he turned his horse's head around and rushed to Mrs. Bian's carriage behind. The casual guards, though overwhelmed, gave the order to stop.
After Wang Lang came to Mrs. Bian's carriage, he immediately turned over and dismounted.
said, "Madam, the situation is not right. β
"What's wrong?" Feeling that the carriage suddenly stopped, Mrs. Bian was a little suspicious, and then Wang Lang suddenly spoke, which shocked Mrs. Bian's heart, thinking that she had discovered the Chu army in ambush.
I couldn't help but hug my young grandson in my arms tightly.
Although Mrs. Bian also has the will to die, after all, she is still very timid and nervous when it comes to the end.
Next to the carriage, Wang Lang's expression was very ugly. Gritted his teeth and said: "The old minister suspects that this south of the city is a way to live. It was Lu Xun's soldiers and horses that were not enough, and he put down a way to live. On the contrary, in the other three directions, there are heavy troops. β
This is what Wang Lang just figured out, and he was very shocked in his heart...... "Panic."
Circumference three is missing one, and the soldiers are classic. The one missing is definitely a dead end, that's what they've always thought. But I didn't expect Lu Xun to do the opposite, and the dead end became the way of life.
The rest of the roads were heavily guarded and heavily guarded.
This is a reversal of the perverse and the real thing. I guess they won't go through the south gate. According to rumors, that Lu Xun is only twenty or thirty, which is really terrifying.
"What?" In the carriage, Mrs. Bian screamed.
The young farewell in his arms couldn't help but fall. "Wow, wow, wow." The drop was not light, and the crying of children suddenly sounded in the car. But Mrs. Bian turned a deaf ear.
Her face was pale, even hopeless.
I thought she would sacrifice herself and use the old and weak as bait. gave Cao Bu and others a way to live. Unexpectedly, on the contrary, they took the road of life.
Cao No, they are walking a dead end.
"Oh my God." Mrs. Bian was desperate in her heart, but soon Mrs. Bian thought of Wang Lang next to her, as if grasping the last straw, and said, "Lord Wang, what should I do now?" β
Wang Lang was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then sighed: "We have been walking for more than half an hour, and it is estimated that the eldest prince and they have already set off at this time, and it is too late."
Wang Lang was in a bad mood, and they were all old and weak. And Cao Bu's branch is the essence. There are important ministers of the dynasty, there are five Liuqing alone, as well as Lieutenant Xing Zhen, and even almost all of Cao Cao's older sons.
Except for Cao Zhang and Cao Yu, all of them are there.
If this was taken by the Chu army, this time they Wei not only lost the capital, but also lost many, many talents. It was a huge blow.
The only thing to be thankful for is probably Cao Cao's several young sons, all of whom followed. It will not make Cao Cao's knees thin. However, this is simply too small compared to what has been lost.
Wang Lang thought bitterly in his heart.
"My son." Mrs. Bian screamed when she heard this, and fainted.
β¦β¦
In the east of the city, I don't know that Wang Lang and Mrs. Bian have escaped from Cao Bu, who has ascended to heaven, and is still leading the army to break through.
This time the siege of the Chu army was different from the general siege warfare. Lu Xun's army was built only 200 meters away from the city, in order to be close. Prevent them from escaping.
But the disadvantages are also very obvious, if there is a strong army at this time, it may not be able to meet the concubine.
However, thanks to Wang Cheng's blessing, Lu Xun knew that it was impossible for Cao to lead his troops to break through tonight, so most of the soldiers did not sleep. Even if you sleep, you can't sleep and dismantle your armor, and the knife is on your side.
Always ready to adapt.
The commander of this camp in the east of the city was LΓΌ Meng. Because of Lu Xun's order, Lu Meng had not slept at this moment, and he even wore armor and took some of his own soldiers to patrol the camp.
At the beginning of the fall of the state of Wu, LΓΌ Meng went into the wilderness on his own, and then defected to the state of Chu. Later, he was the general of Chu and helped Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun and others to sweep away Shanyue.
At this moment, the national strength of the State of Chu is already thriving. Lu Meng is naturally more determined to serve the Chu State. Therefore, everything is serious.
"What time is it?" After inspecting the camp, Lu Meng's face showed a trace of exhaustion, but he still cheered up and asked.
"It's more than halfway through the hour." Immediately there was a guard.
"It's okay at this time, if Cao doesn't really want to break through, it's just a matter of these two hours." Lu Meng nodded and said.
"Order, the whole army is on alert, and they are all fighting deeply."
Lu Meng shouted.
"No." The soldier said yes and immediately turned and left.
Not long after the soldiers left, they heard a soldier outside the camp shouting: "The Cao army has opened the city, the Cao army has opened the city." β
Lu Meng suddenly stood up and shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy." β
Lu Meng had already sent spies to listen at a closer distance. Squeeze in late at night, and the slightest noise can leak your whereabouts.
Of course, the spies are not confused. I won't shout when I first open the city gate, it must be completely opened, and Cao Jun will chant when he comes out halfway.
In this way, Cao Jun was just halfway out and couldn't go back. can only lead the army to stand out.
"Cao Mengde, look at the fact that I captured your whole family alive today." Lu Meng's heart was also full of pride.
With Lu Meng's order, pairs of soldiers poured out from all sides, and then gathered at the gate of Nanying, that is, the camp in the direction of Handcheng.
The soldiers who slept in the armor were no exception.
At this time, Cao Bu and they were only half out. The 1,000 guards had just gone out, and Cao Bu had just been under the city gate. At this time, the spies shouted that Cao's army had opened the city.
Suddenly, Cao Bu and the others were shaken.
Wasn't Wang Cheng's strategy a success? Lu Xun should have sent a large number of troops to ambush in the south of the city, why are the guards here still so tight?
Cao Bu and others couldn't figure it out.
But this is not the time to think about this. Now that the team is only halfway out, it's too late to go back. Cao No, Xiahou Shang glanced at each other, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill, break through." β
"Kill."
In the darkness of the night, the sound of shouting and killing broke out. Murderous machines. (To be continued.)
