In the camp of the Wei army, Cao Cao arranged for the generals to send troops, and this battle was also very important to Cao Cao.

In order not to startle the snake, it was discovered by the Wu army, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion were ready to go, but they did not know where to use the troops, and they were all waiting in the battalion.

The tent was brightly lit, Cao Cao endured a headache and observed the map, and his heart was inexplicably lost, thinking that the battle of Guandu that year, although it was at a disadvantage, but there were Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others to appease people's hearts, and there were Guo Jia, Xun You and other counselors and military aircraft, and they worked together to finally win more with less and lay a foundation.

After the pacification of Hebei, he suddenly heard that Liu Bei was killed by Cai Mao, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and thought that the princes of the Central Plains had no opponents.

Who knew that Liu Qi was a blockbuster, since the defeat in Nanyang, he has been defeated repeatedly, and now the talent in the army is withering, there is a lack of strategists, everything has to be done by him, plus he has been fighting everywhere for many years, old age and decay, and he is exhausted.

Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, and the fire on the candlestick was extinguished, Cao Cao raised his head suddenly, his gray eyebrows showed a cloudy gaze, and slowly asked, "What time is it?" ”

Cao Chun replied: "There is also a stick of incense that is the third watch." ”

"Presumably the navy has started a war!" Cao Cao took a deep breath, got up and ordered: "Order Cao Zhang and Dianman to go first, Han Ming will ambush at the east gate of Shouchun, and each battalion will be dispatched for three watches." ”

Then he ordered his soldiers to prepare clothes and armor, and Cao Chun hurriedly said: "The prime minister is sick, the night is dark and the wind is high, so he still stays in the camp and waits for news." ”

Cao Cao walked slowly to the front of the tent, looked at the south, and said slowly: "This battle is related to the fortune of the country, and the killing of Liu Qi should be tonight, should I go in person?" ”

Cao Chun had followed Cao Cao for many years, and knew that he couldn't be dissuaded, so he wondered: "In this case, why don't you order the tiger and leopard to ride to the east of Shouchun to ambush, as long as Liu Qi escapes from the city, he will definitely be eliminated." ”

Cao Cao sighed: "Liu Qi is so safe that there are no dead soldiers beside him? With Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi to protect, it is not easy to kill him, as long as Han Ming stops Liu Qi for a moment, consumes his personal guards, and waits for Cao Hong to take Hefei first, then Liu Qi's retreat will be cut off, and he will definitely die! ”

Not long after, Cao Ren came to receive the order, and persuaded Cao Cao not to go out in person, but Cao Cao insisted on going, put on armor and went out of the camp, and the moment he stepped on the battlefield, he was in high spirits, and all the generals were moved when they saw it.

Cao Cao straddled the claw Huang Feining, glanced at the audience, and said: "Liu Qi'er plotted to kill Sun Quan and oppressed the people in Jiangdong. ”

The generals were all shocked when they heard this, and immediately turned into joy, Liu Qi scolded Huang Gai for the matter has already spread, even the Wei army is upset about it, and it is reasonable to surrender.

Cao Cao gave an order, and the Wei army poured out, leaving only Chen Jiao and the infantry captain Yue Xi and Ma Quan to guard the camp.

The moon stars are scarce, the spring breeze is blowing, the Wei army ranks horses and wraps their hooves, gallops through Bagong Mountain, and looks at the sparse lights on Shouchun City in the distance

Cao Zhang had already led his troops close to the city and sent someone to answer him, reporting that the patrol soldiers were as usual, apparently unprepared.

Cao Cao dismounted and went to the city to watch, Cao Ren divided his troops and sneaked closer, surrounded Shouchun on all sides, all waiting for the fire at the head of the city, and everyone was silently reciting Huang Gai's name in their hearts.

The night wind was howling, Shouchun City was like a sleeping beast, the huge black shadow was immobile in the moonlight, and time seemed to have stopped for half of it, waiting for Wei Jun to be very anxious.

Cao Cao stood in the shadow of the city wall with his sword, the whole person was like a clay sculpture, I don't know what he was thinking, in the midst of torment, Cao Chun suddenly pointed to the head of the city and exclaimed: "Prime Minister, look-"

Cao Cao looked up, the defenders of the city were changing the guard, and the new soldiers were standing at the head of the city in turn, and soon saw torches lit on the city tower, waving them in three circles left and right, as if stirring everyone's heartstrings.

"Huang Gong is not lonely!" Cao Cao couldn't hide his excitement, pulled out the Heavenly Sword with a sonorous sound, and ordered, "Ignite!" ”

Cao Chun lit the torches first, and then the soldiers of each battalion lit the fire in turn, and in an instant a sea of fire formed outside the north gate, and the surroundings were as bright as day.

Crunch Squeak –

The drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the heavy city gate was also pushed open, Cao Cao almost held his breath, and the hand holding his sword trembled slightly.

Bang –

With the fall of the drawbridge, the hearts of the Wei soldiers also beat wildly, and Cao Zhang took the lead, leading the Xianbei Tu cavalry into the city, followed by the infantry of the Dianman.

At the same time, the rest of the guards of the gates found the movement, and hurriedly beat drums to warn, people shouted and neighed, and the quiet Shouchun City instantly became lively.

Cao Zhang led the troops straight to the mansion, and as soon as he turned the street, he was stopped by a group of defenders and shouted: "Zhu Huan is here, who trespassed on Shouchun?" ”

"Cao Zhanglai!" Cao Zhang didn't stop, and he danced Fang Tian's halberd and rushed straight over.

Zhu Huan came to block with a gun, but after three or five combinations, he was killed in a hurry and fled to the west gate, and the Wu army hurriedly met the enemy, unable to parry, and scattered to both sides.

"General Dian, go after it!" Cao Zhang knew that at this time, he could not let the enemy generals gather people, let Dian Man chase Zhu Huan, and come to the government to arrest Liu Qi himself.

Dian Man led the troops to chase after the Wu army, and saw that Zhu Huan was mixed in the chaos, opened the west gate and fled in panic, killed a few people with an iron halberd, and chased straight into the city gate.

Boom –

As he was moving forward, suddenly a stone gate fell from the city wall, blocking the entire city gate, and the smoke and dust stirred up, and the riders stood up.

Seeing that the defenders of the city had already fled, he ordered people to go to the city to guard the city gate and lead troops to the government to support Cao Zhang.

As soon as Cao Zhang arrived at the mansion, he was stopped by Chen Zhi's troops, and the two armies fought in the laneway, watching Zhao Yun escort Liu Qi to escape from the east gate, he was so angry that he roared again and again, but the conflict could not be stopped, and the troops were outflanked from the East Street.

As soon as he arrived and turned around the East Street, it was Han Dangzheng who led the troops to come to support, pointed at Cao Zhang and laughed: "You are already a turtle in the urn!" ”

Cao Zhang laughed wildly: "I was about to close the door and beat the dog!" ”

Han Dang was furious, stepped forward to fight with Cao Zhang, heard the sound of shouting and killing on all sides, and the soldiers arrived behind Dianman, no longer in love with the war, and retreated from the east gate.

Cao Zhang chased closely, and just chased to the gate of the city, he also saw a stone gate falling from the sky, blocking the road, and had no choice but to retreat.

When they turned around and saw Dian Man coming, the two of them joined forces to chase Liu Qi at the south gate, but they were stopped by Zhao Yun at the entrance of the street, and the crossbows fell like raindrops, and they couldn't rush over for a while.

Cao Cao heard the sound of shouting and killing from the city, quickly returned to the front of the formation, turned on his horse, and led the army to prepare to enter the city.

When the people arrived at the city, they saw a veteran general standing in the wind, and his hair was fluttering in the wind, which was the Jiangdong Huanggai.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Old General Huang, it's been a long time!" ”

Huang Gai clenched his fists in the city and said loudly: "Prime Minister Cao, please enter the city!" ”
