Chapter 342: Breakthrough in distress
Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were instructed by Lu Bu, fully armed, and with only two hundred henchmen, they rode out of Puyang City. At this time, the night was dark and the wind was high, which was a good opportunity to break through, but unfortunately Cao Cao's deployment was really rigorous, and the two of them had just run out of a few miles when they saw a fire gradually coming from the distance.
Zhang Miao frowned, his heart immediately sank, and he said in a low voice: "It's not good, I think it's Cao Cao's people who are here!" ”
Chen Gong has also been in this troubled world for many years, how can he not know this truth, he immediately sighed and said: "The two of us betrayed Cao Cao, with his character, if he catches us, I am afraid that Ling Chi will be executed." ”
When Zhang Miao heard this, he was even more shocked into a cold sweat, and immediately sat down on his horse with a few desperate beats, and said, "Quick! Let's take advantage of the fact that we haven't been caught up yet, and quickly break through, there are not too many Cao Cao's soldiers on this side, if we move fast enough, we will definitely be able to escape. ”
Zhang Miao was right, Cao Cao's main forces were surrounded in the southeast corner of Puyang City, and Puyang was surrounded by the raging Yellow River to the north and the mountains to the west, so neither of these two sides did not need too many people to defend it.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Gong and Zhang Miao decided to go west first, and after entering the mountain, they slowly went south to Chen Liu to find Chen Yan for help.
The two of them led a small detachment of 200 men, and the speed was not slow at all, and in the dark night, the horses' hooves wrapped in cloth made a low and mournful sound.
The two of them were completely prepared, but it seemed that they still couldn't escape Cao Cao's eyes.
What a Cao Mengde with hands and eyes!
Gradually, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong only felt that the fire was closer, and the sound of the enemy's horses' hooves began to reach the ears of the two.
The leader shouted, "Stop! ”
When Zhang Miao heard this voice, he was suddenly startled and said, "This person is Dian Wei!" ”
Dian Wei, this is the first fierce general under Cao Cao, if it is cruel and resolute, no one is Dian Wei's opponent, but for Zhang Miao, this Dian Wei is still an acquaintance.
Why? Because Dian Wei was a lieutenant under Zhang Miao at first, and later Cao Cao and Chen Liu's troops were raised, Zhang Miao went to follow, and Cao Cao fell in love with Zhang Miao's subordinate Dian Wei's natural divine power, so he snatched Dian Wei from Zhang Miao's subordinates.
Therefore, in fact, Zhang Miao can be regarded as Dian Wei's old boss.
Zhang Miao thought of this, and whispered: "The person chasing behind is Dian Wei, although I don't have much affection for him, but at least he was pulled up by me, and he should still be able to speak!" Why don't I go back and persuade him to let us go? ”
When Chen Gong heard this, he hurriedly chirped: "Nonsense! Now who doesn't know that we are out of the city to break through and ask for help, and besides, we betrayed Cao Cao, and we have long been guilty of unforgivable crimes on Cao Cao's side, Dian Wei is Cao Cao's cronies, how can you spare your life because you were once his old boss?! ”
Chen Gong's words were like an initiation, and Zhang Miao's mouth suddenly opened, and Zhang Miao had to continue to wave his horsewhip fiercely, while saying: "What a Cao Cao, he really wants to kill us all, alas! ”
While the two were talking, the pursuers behind them got closer, and suddenly a few bowstrings rang out, and then several followers fell from their horses!
Zhang Miao exclaimed: "They release arrows!" Let go of the arrows! ”
Chen Gong looked back and saw that Dian Wei's soldiers and horses were only two or three hundred steps away from him, which was already a very close distance.
Chen Gong sighed: "No, their horses are fast, and if they continue to walk, they will inevitably catch up, and it seems that they can only fight!" ”
Zhang Miao shook his head violently and said: "The opposite side is Dian Wei, if we really want to fight, we can't support it for a round, so let's divide our soldiers into two ways, who can escape, it depends on the creation!" ”
After saying this, Zhang Miao suddenly led away a hundred people, and shouted in his mouth: "I am Zhang Miao, who dares to chase me!?" ”
Dian Wei recognized Zhang Miao's voice and knew that Zhang Miao's identity was important, so without saying a word, he turned around and followed Zhang Miao.
Chen Gong took the remaining more than 100 people, but was ignored by Dian Wei, and there were not too many pursuers to follow, Chen Gong knew in his heart that this was Zhang Miao saving him with death, and he was immediately grateful, his eyes were moist, and he whispered: "General Zhang Miao, Chen Gong will live up to the public's trust." ”
After that, Chen Gong did not delay, but turned the horse's head and flew towards Chen Liu.
On the other side, Zhang Miao led Dian Wei towards a wood, which was also dense, and it was even deeper in this dark night. Zhang Miao couldn't see the road clearly, and the war horse under his crotch hesitated repeatedly, and it didn't take long for Dian Wei's troops to catch up.
Dian Wei held an iron halberd and rode a jet-black war horse, like a ghost descending to earth, and was now a hundred steps away, chasing after his minions.
How could Zhang Miao's soldiers be Dian Wei's opponents, it didn't take long for them to be covered in corpses.
Zhang Miao couldn't see it, and shouted loudly: "Dian Wei, do you remember Zhang Miao?" ”
Hearing this, Dian Wei looked at a pair of eyes sharply.
At this time, the moonlight was cool, and it happened to pass through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees, mottled on Zhang Miao's face, making him stand out in the dark woods.
Dian Wei naturally saw Zhang Miao's face, and in front of such a familiar face, Dian Wei suddenly showed a cold smile: "General Zhang Miao, long time no see." ”
Zhang Miao didn't expect Dian Wei to be able to say a few polite words, he gradually became less afraid, but boldly asked: "We have been friends for many years, and when we see each other today, can you let me go?" ”
When Dian Wei heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he stepped forward and walked towards Zhang Miao, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
Zhang Miao seemed to realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Stop!" Stay back! Stay back! ”
It's a pity that Dian Wei didn't listen to his orders, and still stepped forward on horseback, but the speed was faster!
Zhang Miao realized that something was wrong, and quickly turned the horse's head, quickly ran away, and shouted: "I am your master!" Dian Wei! I was your master! ”
It's a pity that before the words were finished, Zhang Miao only felt a sharp pain in his back, and then there was a burning and unbearable feeling in his chest, and in the end, he looked down, but saw that his chest suddenly pierced out of something, reflecting the moonlight, Zhang Miao found that it was a black and cold iron halberd......
Dian Wei's iron halberd actually pierced Zhang Miao from dozens of steps away.
Zhang Miao only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and between opening and closing his mouth, his chest cavity was like a window with broken window paper, and blood was rolling down, and he couldn't stop.
Zhang Miao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he never could say it, he gradually lost his balance and fell off the horse.
Dian Wei behind him slowly stepped forward, turned over and dismounted, took out a dagger and cut off Zhang Miao's head, his eyes were still grim and cold, and he said in a low voice: "You are indeed my former master, but my current master said that as soon as I see you, I will kill you immediately." ”
