Chapter 217: Fighting in the City

"Uncle, there's news."

At this time, Xia Houen ran in again and hurriedly said: "There are people outside who have set fire to a large area and disturbed it, and there is chaos in the city, and the people are fighting the fire indiscriminately. ”

"Just setting fires?"

Cao Cao asked.

"Just setting fire for now."

Xia Houen said.

They knew that Guan Yu and the others would not come to the rescue directly if they wanted to save Liu Bei, after all, they would not have any advantage in saving them directly, and they would definitely create all kinds of chaos in the city and distract the attention of the city.

For this reason, Cao Cao has long had a plan to deal with this emergency.

Even if some of them were assigned to put out the fires and stop the unrest in the city, their troops would still be sufficient.

Hearing that the city was on fire and the people were in chaos, he did not panic, and said, "Arrange some people to put out the fire and maintain order." ”

"Yes!"

Xia Houen answered, and immediately ran out to make arrangements.

Cao Cao put on a cloak and walked out of the gate to look outside, only to see that in the night sky, there was indeed a flickering fire, which was really setting fire in the city.

"Father isn't worried, our Xu has been burned?"

Cao Ang said worriedly.

Cao Cao said calmly: "They don't dare to do this yet, there are still many ministers in the city, Dong Cheng doesn't dare to burn it, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei don't dare either." The people of our Xu capital are also quite numerous, if it is really burned, even if Liu Bei is rescued, his benevolence and righteousness will be gone. They just burn some places where there are not many people, create turmoil, and attract our attention! ”

Xu will not be burned, and it will not be burned.

Otherwise, the ministers in the city must not allow them to save Guan Yu from leaving.

The consequences are even more serious.

Cao Ang understood, and calmly continued to wait.

——

Guan Yu knew that even if there was a trap ahead, he had to jump down.

The task of saving Liu Bei tonight was carried out by him, and a large number of troops gathered by Dong Cheng and others were also taken away by him, but Dong Cheng and the others also knew that if they were still in the city after tonight, they would definitely die.

They didn't want to die, so they had to wait at home for the realization of Chen Gong's plan.

As long as the plan can succeed, they still have a chance to live, if they fail, then they can only die together, they are a hundred times more anxious and nervous than Cao Cao.

Those tribes, pushing carts full of straw, rushed to the front of the palace gate.

"Archery!"

Xiahou Yuan shouted.

Ma Chao saw it and also ordered archery.

The soldiers, who had hid on the rooftops, drew their bows and fired arrows at them.

The rain of arrows fell quickly and continuously.

Those tribes had no shields and could only be used as a defense with carts, but many of them were still shot by the rain of arrows.

Someone falls, and someone fills it up immediately.

Guan Yu, who had shaved his beard, blended into the crowd, lifted a longbow, and shouted, "Go on, speed up!" ”

This batch of parts is almost their cannon fodder.

Specially responsible for sending people to death.

However, they were also willing to be cannon fodder to death, and they pushed the cart forward without fear of death, and soon approached Liu Bei's side.

Xu Chu was about to give an order to lead his troops out to intercept and kill.

"Wait a minute."

Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "Wait for them to go in, and then surround them." ”

He also passed on this idea to Xiahou Yuan and the others.

They also agreed to do so, and ordered all of them to be released, let Guan Yu save people, and then launch an encirclement and interception, and now let the archers keep pulling their bows to consume the enemy.

"Quick!"

Guan Yu snorted.

At this time, no one came out to intercept, and the speed of their advance accelerated.

Two carts came to Liu Bei's bottom first.

Liu Bei had already passed out a coma, but was woken up by the sound of shouting and killing, and opened his eyes slightly, and was deeply relieved to see that Guan Yu had finally brought someone to save him.

Guan Yu still has his own in his heart.

"Cloud Chief!"

He used all the strength in his body and shouted.

The voice was very weak, but Guan Yu could hear it, looked up at Liu Bei, and shouted, "Big brother, I'm here to save you!" ”

After speaking, he drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The tip of the arrow broke through the air and broke the rope hanging Liu Bei.

Bang!

Liu Bei fell down and happened to fall on the haystack of the cart below.

The subordinate next to the cart helped Liu Bei up, took out several shields from the cart, protected Liu Bei, and dragged Liu Bei towards Guan Yu.

Guan Yu dropped the longbow and lifted his Blue Dragon Glaive Knife up with two parts by his side.

"Protect the eldest brother, kill with me, kill!"

Guan Yu roared angrily.

The long knife hung down, the blade dragged across the ground, and he took the lead, walking in the front.

The archers on the ridge continued to draw their bows and shoot.

Those parts, falling in pieces.

Guan Yu swung his knife to shoot down the rain of arrows and strode forward.

Qu, who used a shield to protect Liu Bei tightly, followed behind Guan Yu quickly.

Everyone, at this moment, broke through.

"Encircled!"

When Ma Chao saw this, he understood that it was almost possible to meet each other in close quarters.

As long as they intercept Guan Yu here, it will be a huge credit.

The archers on the roof finally finished shooting their arrows.

They lowered their bows, drew their swords, came down from the ridge, and joined the infantry.

The soldiers nearby then appeared, intercepting and killing Guan Yu, the soldiers raised torches one by one to illuminate, and then stuck the torches on the ground, facing Guan Yu and the others with murderous energy.

Xu Chu lifted the thick-backed broadsword, and together with Ma Chao, he went to kill Guan Yu.

The two of them were arranged here to deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as for the leader of the cavalry, he was not in the city, and Chen Zhou and Cao Cao predicted that he must be outside the city.

This master is handed over to Lao Dian to be responsible.

"That's not right."

Ma Chao was about to make a move, but in the dim environment, looking for Zhang Fei's figure.

Xu Chu fought Guan Yu, Ma Chao fought Zhang Fei.

Two Xiahou generals, assisted by the side.

It's a plan that has been laid out early in the morning.

Ma Chao only saw Guan Yu, even in the case of insufficient light, Guan Yu was particularly obvious, according to reason, Zhang Fei, who was also tall, was also obvious.

However, he quickly glanced at it and couldn't see Zhang Fei's figure.

"Miaocai, something is wrong!"

Ma Chao frowned and said.

Xiahou Yuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There is only Guan Yu here, no Zhang Fei."

Ma Chao was a little uneasy and said: "Let people go back immediately and tell the lord that Zhang Fei doesn't know where he is, so be vigilant and vigilant in advance." ”

If Liu Guanzhang is here, then everything is fine.

But Zhang Fei is not there, and the enemy must have other plans.

Ma Chao believes that their plan to save Liu Bei is not so simple.

You must know that Liu Bei has Chen Gong to give advice, and Chen Gong must have no less ideas for tonight's rescue plan.

Xiahou Yuan understood Ma Chao's worries and thought it was reasonable.

"As long as Liu Bei and Guan Yu are taken down, I am not afraid of what Zhang Fei will do, or have other plans." Xiahou Yuan shouted.

That's right.

Ma Chao shouted: "Kill! ”

Xu Chu had already rushed up and fought with Guan Yu.

The blades of the two of them collided fiercely, and sparks flew everywhere.

Xiahoudun picked up a spear and led more than 2,000 people under his command to kill Guan Yu when there was a sound of turmoil outside the encirclement.

When they looked back, they saw more than 1,000 people coming from outside the siege.
