Chapter 553
Hahaha~
Cao Ren finally let out a long breath and laughed, and even Xu Yu on the side came back to his senses, with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!"
Li Dian looked at the raging sea of fire in front of him, and suddenly changed his face: "Why is the granary so flammable, it seems to have been sprinkled with things that cause fire...... No, why doesn't it smell of cooked rice and wheat, it's just the smell of firewood burning!"
The faces of Cao Ren and Xu You, who were originally triumphant, also changed in an instant, and Li Dian was right, there was no smell of burnt grain in the air at all, only a strong smell of fireworks.
"No, it's clear that the escort is all grain and grass, why is it all firewood today!" Xu You only felt five thunderbolts bang on the top and roared.
Li Dian hurriedly shouted: "We have already won the plan, and I also ask the general to lead the soldiers to break through, and at the same time quickly send a fast horse to report to the lord, otherwise everything will be over!"
Cao Ren immediately raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat!"
All the soldiers of the Cao Army carried their weapons one after another, followed behind Cao Ren and the others, withdrew from the granary, and quickly rushed towards the camp of the Hao army behind them.
When all the Cao soldiers rushed to the periphery of the Wuchao camp, they couldn't help but gasp in unison.
I saw a large area of the vast army surrounded by black pressure, and the rows of shield arrays surrounded the camp, and behind the big shield that was more than one person high, a sharp arrow flashed with the light of the cold, aiming at them.
"You have been surrounded, disarm and not kill!"
With Yan Liang's shouting, the sound of persuasion to surrender sounded like the sea around him.
Joke, as the first general of Cao Cao's own family and one of Cao Cao's most trusted generals with foreign surnames, how could Cao Ren and Li Dian surrender, even those elite soldiers of the Cao army were loyal to Cao Cao, and this kind of persuasion was just to disturb the morale of the army.
"Kill!"
Cao Ren let out a loud shout, and the horse slammed into the shield array, and the steel spear in his hand waved like the wind, knocking the crossbow arrows flying in front of him one after another, and rushed away with no one stop.
In the midst of the chaos, Cao Ren and Li Dian faced Yan Liang, and under the two against one, the three of them were chess opponents, and they were inseparable.
However, Cao Ren and Li Dian were not in love with each other, and after fighting for a while, they used several sharp marksmanship in a row to force Yan Liang back, and fled in a hurry with a few people.
Yan Liang did not chase after him, but led all the soldiers to continue to surround him, besieging and killing the Cao army who was still desperately resisting.
In the face of the tight shield array of the Hao army, as well as the spears that stretched out from behind the big shield, most of them had already been killed and wounded before the close battle, and the formation was chaotic and unorganized, plus the dragons were leaderless, and they were only crushed.
At the end of the siege, the fire of the Nest continued, illuminating the battlefield in front of the Nest Camp as if it were daylight.
Xu You, who was at a loss, was surrounded by the Zhonghao army, Xu You carried a long sword, and roared vigorously: "I want to see the lord, I want to see the lord, why do you want to harm me, why do you want to harm me!"
The soldiers around suddenly brushed out of the way, Yan Liang took his sword and rode in, looked at Xu Yu who was like a madness with pity, sighed slightly, and said to the soldiers around: "Withdraw the weapon!"
The soldiers immediately put away the spears that were against Xu You.
Xu You looked at Yan Liang with lost eyes, and asked in a hissed voice, "Why is it me Xu You, why did the lord choose me Xu You!"
Yan Liang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, if he can't fake it, he can't be fooled...... Because you have a demon in your heart, I chose you. ”
Xu You showed a look of extreme pain in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything.
"The Lord's decree, your family has been acquitted, you don't have to worry. Yan Liang said in a deep voice, and after a pause, he said: "As for your crime of collaborating with the enemy, the capital crime can be avoided, but if you cut off the official title, you can't be an official in this life!"
"Thank you, lord!" Xu You's eyes were full of tears, and he slowly knelt down in the direction of the Haojun camp, kowtowed respectfully three times, and then stopped making a sound in despair.
The night is as cool as water, and the starry sky shines on the mound, shining on the body of more than 200,000 troops, presenting a magnificent picture.
Under the illumination of the starlight, the pieces of silver light that shone together, like the vast ocean, boundless, extending to the end of the field of vision.
In the sparkling, vast sea of swords and halberd light, embroidered flags gently unfurled with the night breeze, like a thousand sails racing, floating in the sea.
Under the banner of the Chinese army embroidered with the word "Cao", Cao Cao sat high on a horse, squinting a pair of thin eyes, looking at the direction of the vast army camp in the distance.
His face seemed calm as water, but it was more excited than anyone else's.
Success or failure is only tonight!
If the matter between Cao Ren and Li Dian is successful, then the Hao army will inevitably be in turmoil, and that is when he will launch a fatal blow to Hao Bai......
As soon as Haobai is defeated, who else in the world can compete with him, step on all the princes, dominate the four seas, and even win the supreme, it is just a matter of course.
"It's three watches!" Xu Chu beside him reminded in a low voice.
Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, and he looked closely at the direction of the black nest in the northeast corner, with an eager look, and his heart also jumped up.
In the northeast corner, the night was still dark, silent, and nothing happened.
Above the high post, it was also quiet, and only the sound of the big flag behind him could be heard hunting and waving in the wind, and everyone held their breath and looked dead in the direction of the northeast corner.
Even if the soldiers of the rear army could only see the swords and halberds of the front army at all, and could not see anything else, they still looked nervously towards the northeast corner.
Time passed little by little, many soldiers gradually became uneasy, and some people began to twist their bodies and move their legs that were a little numb, and the silence and tension gradually subsided.
"Fire, it's on fire...... someone suddenly exclaimed.
All the soldiers of the front army became excited, and they all stood on tiptoe, looking up at the northeast corner, Cao Cao was even more short of breath, his eyes were round, and he looked closely at the direction of the black nest.
In the distance, a bright light gradually emerged, and the light became brighter and brighter, gradually spreading to both sides.
At first, it was just like the morning light before sunrise, faintly illuminating the distant mountains, and then like the rising sun, illuminating half of the sky, and then suddenly the light was in full bloom, and the red light skyrocketed, like the fiery clouds at sunset, and finally the whole sky burned red, like day.
The soldiers of the front army let out a small cheer, and the excited voices spread to the rear army like a tide.
"It's done, it's done...... They really didn't disappoint me!" Cao Cao's face was full of red light, his eyes showed a look of extreme excitement, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
