Chapter 132 Shouchun City is broken, Xia Houlan kills Ji Ling
The news that Lei Bo opened the west city gate and let Cao's army enter Shouchun City was like a bolt from the blue to Ji Ling.
His heart is now full of hatred, and he only regrets that he didn't deal with Lei Bo immediately after discovering Lei Bo's abnormality!
"Damn Lei Bo, don't let me catch you...otherwise your body will be broken into pieces and it will be light!"
While Ji Ling was cursing Lei Bo, the rumble of horse hooves in the distance was getting closer and closer. He thought that all Cao Jun's cavalry should have entered the city by now.
Being left behind by Yuan Shu to guard the isolated city, the morale and morale of the soldiers in the city were already relatively low.
In the past two days, many wounded soldiers were lost in the battle with the coalition forces, and there was no medicinal material in the city to treat the wounded soldiers, so Ji Ling could only let the wounded soldiers fend for themselves. This approach undoubtedly reduced the morale of the soldiers by another 10%.
Lei Bo even had a big quarrel with Ji Ling because of this matter, but Ji Ling really had no choice.
But Ji Ling never expected that Lei Bo would be so decisive. He actually opened the city gate and let Cao's army into the city.
But Ji Ling was a little puzzled, "Without prior collusion, even if Lei Bo opened the city gate, Cao Jun would not have been able to enter the city so quickly. So, how did Lei Bo collude with Cao Cao?"
Even Cheng Yu, Xun You and others who had experienced it personally were puzzled, let alone Ji Ling...
"kill!!!"
After the cavalry entered the city, half of them were left behind, led by Cao Chun and Cao Ang, to help Lei Bo defend the city gate.
The remaining half, two thousand light cavalry led by Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, and Yue Jin, went straight to the city lord's palace in Shouchun City.
The battle with Cao Jun some time ago left a big shadow in Ji Ling's heart. Moreover, the city gate was opened by his own family, and the last breath of anger in the chests of the soldiers in the city was probably exhausted.
The situation suddenly changed. Ji Ling did not dare to think too much and shouted loudly: "Come here! Come with me to fight!"
As he walked out, he ordered: "Don't worry about Cao's cavalry, follow me to block the west city gate!"
Ji Ling knew that Cao Cao didn't have many cavalry, and Cao Cao's cavalry entered the city first just to delay the infantry behind.
As long as they can block the west city gate in time, Cao Jun's large troops will not be able to enter the city. When reinforcements from Han Xian and Qiao Rui arrive, they may be able to drive Cao Jun's leading troops out of the city gate.
It seems...it seems...it can still be rescued and rescued.
However, when Ji Ling had just led hundreds of guards out of the city lord's mansion, two thousand cavalry led by Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and Le Jin had already arrived like divine soldiers descending from heaven!
Looking at the general under the light of the torch in front of him, Xiahou Lan suddenly felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. He roared: "Thief general! Take my shot!"
Both Zhao Yun and Le Jin knew Xia Houlan's sad history of being robbed of his head.
At this moment, they tacitly agreed to clear the surrounding enemy troops for Xiahoulan, allowing Xiahoulan enough space and time to kill the enemy general.
...
Ji Ling was leading the guards out of the city lord's mansion.
During this journey, his face was sometimes confused and sometimes worried, but more often, it showed determination.
Yuan Shu was kind to Ji Ling, and he always valued him in every possible way, and even gave him the supreme honor of being a general.
Before leaving, Yuan Shu even took Ji Ling's hand and personally handed Shouchun City into his hands.
I originally thought that the indestructible Shouchun City and the 100,000 troops in the city would be enough to drag me back until the coalition forces ran out of food.
Unexpectedly, Lei Bo secretly surrendered to Cao Cao and opened the west city gate.
It has been less than ten days since Yuan Shu left Shouchun City... If Shouchun was lost so quickly, how could Ji Ling face Yuan Shu?
Thinking of this, Ji Ling subconsciously speeded up his pace. He also turned around from time to time to urge the guards behind him to run faster.
However, not far after running out of the city lord's mansion, there was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats from ahead, and a young general shouted: "The thief will leave!!!"
Ji Ling's expression changed. He didn't expect the enemy to be so bold and dare to storm the city lord's palace!
Don’t you know that there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers in the city? Do you understand why you can’t go deep alone!!!
Ji Ling's horse was still in the stable, but the enemy was already rushing towards his face. Ji Ling could only lift the three-pointed knife and barely blocked the attack first.
Xia Houlan missed a hit and turned around to rush towards Ji Ling again.
Just one round of time,
The personal guards around Ji Ling had been divided and annihilated by Zhao Yun and Le Jin, leaving only time for Xia Houlan and Ji Ling to perform.
Ji Ling was already shaken at this moment, and without a war horse, he only lasted five rounds under Xia Houlan's iron-steel spear, before he was shot from the front into the chest by Xia Houlan!
"Pfft!!!" There was a sound of a sharp instrument being inserted into the body. Ji Ling's eyes widened and he stared at Xiahou Lan in disbelief.
Xia Houlan drew out his spear and without giving Ji Ling a chance to speak, he stabbed Ji Ling's throat again, killing him completely!
Not knowing that he had killed the largest fish in Shouchun City, Xia Houlan took off Ji Ling's head and hung it under the horse's neck. He smiled and said to Zhao Yun and Le Jin: "Zilong, Wen Qian, thank you very much! I
It’s finally opened, and I finally didn’t leave empty-handed again!”
Le Jin replied somewhat sourly: "Congratulations Zi Heng, you take the biggest credit..."
"Eh?" Xia Houlan was stunned when he heard this and asked, "How do you say this?"
Zhao Yun tapped Ji Ling's head with the tip of his spear and said: "This is Ji Ling, you just took the head of Yuan Shu, the puppet general of the imperial court!"
Xia Houlan was immediately startled, and then said excitedly: "Damn it! Then I'm not going to be rich this time?"
Moreover, shouts of killing suddenly erupted in Shouchun City. Qiao Rui and Han Xian, who were stationed at the south gate and east gate, suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Ordering all the soldiers and horses, Han Siam and Qiao Rui met in the city.
At this time, suddenly some of their own soldiers stumbled towards them.
Qiao Rui grabbed a soldier covered in blood and asked sternly: "What's going on ahead?"
When the soldier saw that it was General Qiao Rui, he burst into tears and said with horror on his face: "General Lei Bo opened the west gate to lead Cao's army into the city! We were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The west gate...
…Simon has been lost!”
Although they had a strong sense of foreboding just now, when they got the exact answer, Han Xian and Qiao Rui still felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Ximen is missing... this damn Lei Bo, I chopped him off with a knife before!" Han Xian murmured.
Qiao Rui pulled the soldiers in his hands closer and asked again: "Have you notified the general?"
The soldier nodded desperately and said: "The general has been notified. However, the general's reinforcements have not arrived yet, but we have all been scattered by the enemy's cavalry..."
Qiao Rui threw away the trembling soldiers, and after looking at each other, Gu Du fell silent.
The other soldiers behind them also heard what the soldier said, and then an uproar broke out.
Lei Bo rebelled and the west city gate was lost; General Ji Ling's whereabouts were unknown. What should they do?
Just when Qiao Rui and Han Xian were struggling with their thoughts, deep in the night, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from the direction of the city lord's palace, and the enemy general shouted to persuade him to surrender: "Ji Ling is dead, and you still won't surrender.
When can we wait for more!!!”
Qiao Rui's eyes widened, and he said, "The general is dead!!"
Han Siam turned pale and murmured to himself, "Shou Chun, I can't hold on any longer..."
