Chapter 41: Captured for the second time

After dinner, Cao Hong once again urged his troops to attack the city, and in the dark night, Cao's army suffered even heavier losses.

The bones of the corpses under Yexian County were piled up, and the soldiers were trampled into thick blood and mud, and the fire oil burned, forming a wall of fire.

The soldiers had obviously climbed to the top of the city many times, but Zhang Fei and the three of them were very brave, and all of them were killed and retreated, in vain.

An hour later, Cao Ren took over from Cao Hong's overseers and personally went to the front of the battle to supervise the army, and Cao's army rushed to the top of the city in a hurry, only to find the defenders motionless and let them be cut and killed.

Cao Renzheng was puzzled, the soldiers came to report, the city was full of straw, and Liu Qi had already led the troops to retreat.

Cao Ren was so angry that he was about to lead his troops to chase after him, but Cheng Yu hurriedly persuaded him to chase the enemy in the middle of the night, and it was very easy to ambush.

At this time, Cao's army was also sleepy and lacking, and Cao Hong ordered the soldiers to go into the city to rest and recuperate, and attack Bowang again tomorrow.

The next day, more than 30,000 people were counted, and even if they clashed with Yuan Shao, there were no such heavy casualties.

Cao Hong ordered people to report to Cao Cao, leaving nearly 10,000 disabled soldiers to clean up the battlefield, transfer money and food, and select 50,000 elite soldiers to win Bowang.

Cao Ren was still the vanguard, and when he came to the city, he saw Liu Qi dividing his troops outside the city, setting up a battalion on the left and right, and Bowang City as a corner.

Xiying is near the White River, and the banner of the word "Guan" is erected in front of the camp, Guan Yu is immediately horizontal, and he stroking his beard and scanning coldly; The east camp is close to the sunny slope, and the banner of the word "Zhao" is erected in front of the camp, and Zhao Yun has a white horse and a white robe, like a gun standing upright.

Cao Ren stopped his soldiers and horses from a distance, looked at Liu Qi at the head of the city, and didn't know where to go for a while, so he had to stand by in place.

Zhang Fei slapped the city wall regretfully: "I said that Cao Ren didn't dare to come, and that's true." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "I have a plan, but I can attract Cao Ren to come, can Yide capture him alive?" ”

"Leave it to me!" Zhang Fei's chest thumped again.

Liu Qi whispered a few words to Wei Yan behind him, Wei Yan was overjoyed and led his troops out of the city.

Wei Yan urged him to step forward and laughed: "Cao Ren, I heard that since you went back, you have often been worried about Wei, but you have to talk to a certain long?" ”

Cao Ren saw that it was Wei Yan, he was furious, and before he could answer, he danced his knife and killed, and the two fought for more than ten times, and Wei Yan was defeated and left.

Cao Ren vowed to be ashamed and waved his troops to chase and kill, and Cao Jun rushed forward and came to chase and kill Wei Yan.

Seeing that Wei Yan really attracted Cao Ren to chase after him, Zhang Fei couldn't help but smile and said: "The general's method of agitating the generals really worked, and I don't know how Wen Chang treated Cao Ren and made him hate him so much." ”

Gan Ning frowned and smiled: "Seeing Cao Ren gritting his teeth and hating, and rushing to extinguish his mouth, it must be an ulterior matter!" ”

While speaking, Cao Ren had already chased straight to the city, and seeing that the two were getting closer and closer, he slashed straight behind Wei Yan with a knife.

Wei Yan is also a master of the arts, and he waited for Cao Ren to get close before he twisted his waist, grabbed the big knife with a loud shout, and fought with him again.

Seeing that the time had come, Liu Qi ordered: "Beat the drum!" ”

Zhang Fei immediately rushed to the city: "If I can't catch Cao Ren this time, I will never return to the city." ”

Knock Knock Knock –

The drums sounded, and Guan Yu and Zhao Yun of the left and right battalions went out at the same time, like two dragons out of the water, and copied the bread behind Cao Jun.

Cao Ren heard the sound of drums in the city, and suddenly woke up and wanted to retreat, but he was entangled by Wei Yan and couldn't get out at all.

In the blink of an eye, 5,000 Cao troops were besieged under the city, although the city gate was wide open, Cao Ren did not dare to enter, and only wanted to break through and retreat.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun joined forces left and right, where could Cao Jun resist, like a shuttle back and forth, like a shuttle, sweeping the holes, and being washed to pieces.

"General Cao, if you come, you will be safe!" Wei Yan raised his knife and attacked, laughing and said, "You are my person!" ”

"Fart!" Cao Ren couldn't help but scold, seeing that he was under siege, he turned his heart into a desperate battle with Wei Yan.

At this moment, Zhang Fei rode out of the city, raised a snake spear and rushed straight at Cao Ren, and shouted: "General Wei, you come to clean up these miscellaneous soldiers, and I will capture him." ”

Wei Yan saw that Zhang Fei was menacing and couldn't stop him, so he had to step aside and block Niu Jin who came to the rescue, and shouted: "Little Zamao, your opponent is me!" ”

"I am the general of Fenwu, Niu Jin is also!" Niu Jin was furious and shot at Wei Yan.

Cao Ren fought hard with Zhang Fei, although he also had the heart of death, but this time the momentum was completely different, after thirty days, he was killed by Zhang Fei so that his arms were sore, and he couldn't support it.

At this time, Niu Jin had been injured by Wei Yan, fell off his horse, was captured by soldiers, Cao Jun or fled, and the battle outside the city had stopped.

Cao Ren was sweating profusely, and the sound of shouting and killing in his ears became less and less, and when he looked back, he saw Guan Yu and Zhao Yun guarding from afar, blocking the way, leaving only himself to fight with Zhang Fei.

Knowing that there was no way out, and he didn't want to be humiliated by being captured for the second time, he struggled to hit Zhang Fei with the big knife in his hand, so he drew his sword and killed himself.

Wei Yan was on guard at any time on the sidelines, and when he saw Cao Ren throwing a knife to commit suicide, he urged his horse to step forward, and beheaded his mount with a loud shout, and Cao Ren rolled into the dust.

Before he could get up, soldiers rushed up, held him down, and tied him up.

Zhang Fei came over and scolded: "Cao Ren is a coward, he has violated the order twice. ”

"Let go of me, let go of me!" Cao Ren struggled and yelled, his eyes red: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, don't bully people too much!" ”

Wei Yan laughed and said, "General Cao is worth a thousand gold, wouldn't it be a big loss to kill him?" ”

led the troops to escort Cao Ren and Niu Jin back to the city first, and Zhang Fei muttered, asking people to bring the captives and drive them into the city.

Cao Ren was captured for the second time, like an irascible beast, scolding Wei Yan and Zhang Fei, and when he saw Liu Qi, he scolded again, wanting to provoke them to behead him.

Liu Qi stepped down the steps, looked at Cao Ren and said with a smile: "General Cao, it's useless for you to cut your throat, save some energy and wait for Cao Cao to redeem people!" ”

Cao Ren roared: "Liu Qi's sick man, you have the ability to kill me!" ”

Liu Qi sighed: "It's not too hard to kill people, as the so-called general is hard to find, the general is bent on death, have you ever thought about Prime Minister Cao, as well as your wife and children, who will take care of it?" ”

Cao Ren was humiliated, and gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Qi dog thief, I don't need you to bother with my family affairs, I just want to give me a good time!" ”

Liu Qi shook his head and sighed, waved his hand and said, "General Cao is too irritable, take him down to take a shower, calm down!" ”

"Leave it to me!" Wei Yan stepped forward and smiled: "I am most familiar with this matter!" ”

"You dare?" Cao Ren was shocked, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and he said sharply: "Whoever dares to touch me will bite his tongue and kill himself." ”

"Biting your tongue will not kill you, it will only add to the pain, the general is cautious!" Liu Qi shook his head and said, "If you become dumb, how will you lead the army to fight in the future?" ”

At this time, the defenders of the city warned that a large group of Cao troops had arrived, and Liu Qi ordered someone to escort Cao Ren down and go to the city to meet the enemy.

When Cao Hong heard that Cao Ren was trapped, he hurriedly led troops to support and chased him outside the city, but there were only corpses everywhere, and no living person was seen.

Looking at the two large camps arching the acropolis, he didn't dare to approach rashly, and called a deserter and shouted: "Where is Zixiao? ”

"General Cao, he, he...... Ahh

The deserter panicked and couldn't answer, and was hacked to death by the angry Cao Hong, and the Cao army was shaken.
