Chapter 7: Fighting for Life Under the Moon

"The whole army is stopped, ready for a surprise attack! In addition, let people kindle the withered grass and make a frame for cooking. Mo Wen whispered to Zhang Meng beside him.

"Understood." Zhang Meng nodded and turned to go down.

"Zilian's martial arts are strong, and I will hand it over to you when I break through." Cao Cao turned back to Cao Hong and said.

"Order." Cao Hong silently picked up the knife.

"The thief will aim at the lord, and do not stay away from the last general."

"Zilian, I'm not old yet." Cao Cao drew his sword and gestured.

[Now we have arrived at your ambush point, made a posture of rest, and are waiting for you to appear. Mo Wen looked at the surrounding woods, the leaves swaying in the wind, making a rustling sound. Can you stop our assault? 】

"General Xu, smoke is rising from the mountain, and Cao Jun is already making rice." Looking at the thin smoke under the moon, the lieutenant said to Xu Rong.

"Good! Boys! Charge with me and crush the enemy! Xu Rong lifted the big axe, and the horse stood out.

[I'm so excited...... Cao Cao's head! The lieutenant clenched his sword and rushed out with his men.

"Kill" "Cao thief takes his life!" Listening to the shouts of killing in the woods, Cao Cao waved his long sword on his horse and shouted: "The whole army is assaulted!" ”

Xu Rong and the captain didn't expect that Cao Jun had already prepared, and they were killed by Cao Jun for a while, but fortunately, there were many people, and they were surrounded on all sides, so they quickly stabilized their position, and Cao Hong, who was assaulting, also met Xu Rong.

"You are now a turtle in an urn, don't surrender quickly!" Xu Rong held up the long knife that was chopping.

"Hmph, is this urn sturdy? I can reduce it to rubble with a single sword. Cao Hong saw that the long knife couldn't suppress the big axe in his hand, so he drew the knife and swept it.

"Stubborn!" Xu Rong's short body flashed, and the big axe slashed it with his backhand.

"Lord, let's go." Cao Hong dodged the big axe and shouted.

[Hmph, it seems that Cao Cao's subordinates also seem to have a good mix...... What can you change, though? The lieutenant looked at Cao Cao, who had broken through, and led his own subordinates (1,000 people) to rush in the direction of Cao Cao's escape.

……

In the fierce battle in the middle of the night, Mo Wen only took more than 50 people and escaped from the siege with Cao Cao. These two hours are really a great test for Mo Wen: although the moonlight is good and the sky is full of stars, the road under his feet is still difficult to see clearly, the road is rugged, there are countless gravels on the road, Mo Wen ran with sore feet, but he still gritted his teeth and endured, and after running for two hours, the group finally ran to a big river.

"Bianshui!" Mo Wen sighed, and saw that these people were no longer able to run, so he picked out a few who still had the strength to let them find out if there were any boats around. Looking at the sergeant in the distance, Mo Wen felt that his exhaustion suddenly came up. helped Boss Cao off the horse, and then sat on the ground to relax his tired body.

====Dividing line====

"Damn." Reluctantly flipped off the horse, and the lieutenant felt very annoyed, "Bad horses really can't run on this kind of road." "Spat hard." Chase! The enemy will not be able to run far. "What if you can break out of the encirclement? It's a lot of water in front of you! 】

[The number of people should be enough. Looking at the hundreds of people around, the captain gritted his teeth, the original 1,000 people broke through the remnants led by Cao Hong, and there were more than 900 people, but on the way, they happened to meet Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan who came back to find Cao Cao, fortunately, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan brought few people, and he was dragged by most of his troops.

[As long as you take Cao Cao's head, everything is worth it. That's what he thought.

After running for a long time, a river appeared in front of him, and there was a group of resting soldiers by the river, about forty or fifty people. "Charge! The thief will be in front of him, and whoever takes his head will be rewarded consistently! The captain's eyes immediately turned red, and he drew his saber and swung it forward.

When the soldier heard that there was a reward, he gasped like a bull in red cloth, and rushed out screaming!

[Sure enough, the chasing soldiers are coming! It is impossible for Mo Wen, who is sitting on the ground to be unnoticed, with such a big movement.

Hint: Now that you have gained Cao Cao's trust, and Cao Cao's forces are on the verge of collapse, your stance affects the fate of Cao Cao's forces. Triggering the Hide Choice, you can choose to betray Cao Cao and join another faction, but there will be some negative effects. [Good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose the lord to serve. What's wrong with changing jobs? But you'll have to bear the cost of changing jobs. 】

......Mo Wen was stunned for a moment, then held the sword in one hand, propped himself up, glanced at the fierce pursuers, turned back to the remaining forty or so subordinates and said: "The other party is chasing all the way, but the soldiers are tired; But we have rested here for a long time, and we are the best soldiers. When we meet on a narrow road today, are you afraid? ”

"Come on, I'm already holding my breath." Zhang Meng raised the spear in his hand.

"Lord, go quickly, this battle will be handed over to us." Mo Wen bowed slightly to Cao Cao, waved the long sword in his hand and shouted: "All the gentlemen follow me bravely!" ”

[Just kidding, in this loyal world, traitors are very unpopular, and after suffering with Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely be able to trust me more, I haven't lost yet! ] Not to mention...... What I hate most is betrayal! 】

Seeing that the group of routs still dared to charge back, the captain cleared his throat. "You're at the end of your rope, why don't you surrender quickly? I am Wang Hua, a captain under General Zhang, but you will not die! ”

"Humph! Dong thief is already the enemy of the world, and you are all in danger! Shall I wait for you? Kill yourself? Mo asked back.

[This guy ...... It should be a traveler. Mo Wen and Wang Hua were suspicious of each other's identities for a moment.

"Zhang Meng, charge with me, kill that captain, and we'll win!" Mo Wen raised his sword and slashed away several spears that stabbed at him, and said to Zhang Meng, who was leaning against his back.

"Good!" Zhang Meng roared, raised his spear and pushed forward violently, the three soldiers in front of him were caught off guard by this strong push and staggered, Mo Wen's side protruded, the long sword cut the necks of two soldiers, and then kicked the other soldier down. Zhang Meng took a stab, and the soldier's life was killed.

"Heh, decapitation, huh? The two of them are my opponents? I was about to kill you! Wang Hua smiled and waved his knife forward.

[Actually came by yourself? So confident. Mo Wen glanced ahead and found that the person named Wang Hua was actually approaching him.

[Hmph, then come on!] Mo Wen swung his sword and turned the soldiers in front of him and met Wang Hua who rushed towards him.

"Sonorous!" The long sword and the broadsword were pressed together, and the junction splashed with sparks.

"Cao Cao is dead! Brat. Wang Hua stared at the young officer standing in front of him.

"Hmph, you don't count this. We must be the winners in the end! "Don't ask for the power of your hands." As long as you die, he will definitely live! I really don't know where you got the confidence to dare to appear in front of me. ”

"Of course I have confidence, deal with a hairy kid like you!" Wang Hua suddenly exerted his strength and pushed the long sword away.

"Die!" Slash horizontally.

"It's just an uncle who likes delusions." A flash of the knife. Mo Wen mocked.

"It's good to talk about it, but your sword is too soft." Hold the sword that slashes down. Wang Hua smiled, "I don't know how many people you killed on the battlefield, but it's not enough to kill, you have to be ruthless, let me teach you a lesson today!" ”

"!! at the cost of your life" Wang Hua roared, and the long knife slashed down with the sound of the fierce wind, and the young officer in front of him had no intention of dodging at all, as if he was stupid......

[Hmm, Zhang Meng, they can't hold it anymore, there are only eight or nine people left on their side, and there are still thirty or forty on the other side, and a few guys are still approaching me...... Damn it! Be sure to deal with him quickly. Glancing sideways at the battlefield situation, Mo Wen secretly gritted his teeth.

[Hehe, a little fart child is a little fart child, which is stupid. Wang Hua was very proud at this time. [Kill him, can Cao Cao escape from my palm? 】

Flutter, blood splattered...... The long sharp knife cut through the thin iron sheet, and the leather and cotton cloth were cut off. The flesh and skin were cut open, blood flowed out like water, and Mo Wen seemed to hear the sound of broken bones.

However, the long knife was still blocked by Mo Wen, and he blocked it with his left arm.

Before Wang Hua could be surprised, he felt a pain in his throat, and blood gushed out.

Pain! Heart-rending pain! Mo Wen felt as if his left hand was no longer his own. The delicate face was distorted by the sharp pain. And Wang Hua, who was opposite him, also let go of the long knife in his hand, staggered back a few steps, and covered the wound with both hands, hoping to stop the gushing blood.

"Bang dang!" The friction of the wound on his arm could not bear the weight of the long knife, and the corners of Mo Wen's mouth twitched, and at this time, Wang Hua's hands were already dyed bright red by the hot blood gushing out—Mo Wen's stabbing like a poisonous snake while he was proud was undoubtedly fatal. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he raised his right hand and covered it to his mouth.

[Innocent! Mo Wen endured the severe pain in his left arm, and slashed a sword to Wang Hua's right hand, four fingers flew out with a large piece of flesh and blood, and a swarthy pill fell out of it,

"Ahem, ahem!" The only hope was also ruthlessly destroyed, Wang Hua coughed up a mouthful of blood, looked at Mo Wen resentfully, and met him with Mo Wen's red pupils and crazy gaze.

"As I said, we're going to be the winners!" After calming down the hot blood in his chest a little, ignoring the resentment in his eyes, Mo Wen cut off Wang Hua's head and provoked it with a long sword: "You and the other leaders have now been given the head, and if you don't surrender, when will you wait?" ”

At this time, Mo Wen's upper body was already covered with blood, like an evil ghost.

Looking at the leader's head, the remaining thirty or so soldiers were in disarray, except for one or two fools who put down their weapons and surrendered, and the rest ran away.

Finally won. Mo Wen spit out a breath of turbidity in his chest, looked at the hideous knife marks on his left arm, a bone on his forearm was split, and now his left forearm is only connected by the thinner bone and the small half-skin flesh, "Do you want to use welfare?" Mo Wen smiled bitterly, glanced at Wang Hua's head, and Mo Wen whispered to himself: "Exchange half an arm for your life, no matter how you look at it, it's worth me, right?" Then he remembered Wang Hua's words during the war, and laughed at himself: "Men, you should be ruthless to yourself." ”

Pick up the pill dropped by Wang Hua: Life-saving pill (not available) (This benefit is available only once for everyone!) But I'm still very confident in this taste, teenager, do you want another one, no toxic side effects. )

[Sure enough, there is no leak to drill.] Mo Wen sighed, casually threw the pill into his mouth, and chewed it as a jelly bean. [Well, strawberry-flavored, praise.] 】

"How's it going, boss?" Zhang Meng led the remnants of the eight soldiers over.

"It's okay, just tear a piece of cloth and wrap it. Go find the lord! Covering the bloodied left arm, ignoring Zhang Meng's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Mo Wen ordered.

Tearing off a piece of blood-stained cotton cloth from the placket of his clothes and hastily bandaging it, the group went down the river, and finally saw Cao Cao who was slowly moving with the two soldiers pushing the boat.

"My lord, the enemy has been defeated." Mo Wen stepped forward and reported to Cao Cao.

"Inexplicably, is your arm okay?" Looking at Mo Wen's bleeding left arm, Cao Cao said with concern.

[Although I know that this is a means to win people's hearts, I still feel a warm feeling in my heart. Is this the charisma of leadership? Don't ask and sigh.

"It's okay, Zhang Meng, take a few strong people to push the boat quickly, this is not a safe place." After instructing Zhang Meng, Mo Wen turned his head, "Lord, forgive my subordinates for being presumptuous, where are we going?" ”

"You don't have to be so formal, come on." Cao Cao beckoned to Mo Wen, motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "This defeat, my heart is very cold, all the princes are vying for power, and no one is willing to contribute to the Han. I want to go to Luoyang to see the original face first, and then return to Chenliu. ”

Mo Wen was silent, and the two fell silent for a while. [Then the recovery pill is still not used.] Mo Wen gritted his teeth, [As a general, I can't surpass the famous generals of the Wei State, but I can shine in other places, and this injury just has a reason to be able to give advice by Cao Cao's side. In order to be able to speak in front of Cao Cao in the future, his left arm will be crippled for a while. After a while, Mo Wen, who had finally finished thinking, raised his head. Seeing that the wooden boat was still a few feet away from the water, he shouted loudly: "Zhang Meng, how long will it take to push the boat into the water?" ”

"This ship is very heavy, and we are weak in battle, and it will take about half a quarter (one moment in ancient times is equivalent to 14.4 minutes now)"

"It's useless to rush at this point." Cao Cao said: "I don't know how old I am? Where is the home? ”

"The last general is close to the age of the weak crown, and the people of Beiping in Youzhou ...... Homeless. "[Yes, I didn't have a home at the moment when my father and mother went to Huangquan together......]

"No relatives?" Cao Cao looked a little surprised.

"My parents died young, and they were the only ones in the family. After the death of their parents, the two old people died of depression. "[Mom and Dad, after you left, grandpa and grandpa also passed away due to sadness, I hope you can be happy down there. I've worked out everything else. 】

"I don't know if you can read?" Looking at the silent Mo Wen, Cao Cao immediately changed the topic.

"When I was young, my parents taught, and after my parents died, I secretly learned a thing or two outside the school, and I knew some truths." [What does Boss Cao want to do? Packing up the heavy memories, Mo Wen was a little confused.

"Well, you are close to the weak crown, and there are no elders in the family, so I will take a name for you, what do you want?"

"It's an honor."

[I see, that's a good sign.] Mo Wen's mind moved, and he agreed.

"Good! Let me think about it...... Lingzun Lingtang Wangyou became famous, and those who can be famous in the world are nothing more than benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, loyalty, bravery, humility, filial piety, and benevolence. 'Zi said: The wise man is happy with water, and the benevolent man is happy with the mountain; The wise move, the benevolent are quiet; The wise are happy, and the benevolent are long. The word "Ru" is 'Cloud Mountain', if what? ”

"Cloud Mountain...... Thank you, Lord! "Is it benevolence and not loyalty...... It seems that Cao Cao has no ambitions. Silently chewing on the taste of these two words, Mo Wen felt good.

"Yunshan ......" Cao Cao was about to say something, when he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves, and the two turned their heads to find that dozens of black shadows were approaching them all around.

"Who's up ahead?" Xu Rong took advantage of the faint moonlight in the early hours of the morning to see Cao Cao and Mo Wen who were sitting on the ground resting.

"Chasers? Damn it! Mo Wen looked at the boat, there was still a distance of about five meters, and the people who came could definitely kill them before they pushed the boat into the water. [Now there is only one battle!] Mo Wen propped up his body with his right hand, which was still moving, and pulled the long sword out of the soil and placed it horizontally in front of him. "Gentlemen, follow me to meet the enemy!"

[It's really unlucky, I finally brushed a lot of favorability in front of Boss Cao...... I don't know how many pads I can pull? Mo Wen thought lightly, [This is the last battle. 】
