Chapter 170 Not good! I fell for Cao thief's trick!
Just when the second wave of arrows was about to fall, Cao Cao's personal guards arrived in time.
Almost instantly, an airtight shield wall was built above Cao Cao and others, and Cao Cao's beloved horse Jueying was protected under the shield wall.
Enduring the severe pain on his shoulder, Liu Bei said in shock: "So the big event that Dong Cheng invited me to the day before yesterday was to assassinate Cao Cao?"
Although Liu Bei was half a beat slower just now, fortunately, he reacted very quickly. After being hit by the arrow, he immediately rolled off his horse and was not attacked by subsequent arrows.
"I don't know if Cao Cao's hundreds of personal guards can withstand it... Or maybe I can take advantage of the chaos later and stab him from behind?" Liu Bei's heart was in a mess, thinking about many things.
However, after seeing a tall and strong figure approaching Cao Cao, Liu Bei simply lay down and pretended to be unconscious. Liu Bei knew the man, so he jumped up.
Two more waves of arrows followed, landing on the guards' shields with a clanging sound.
Liu Xie was so frightened that he trembled all over, and kept cursing in his heart: "Damn Dong Cheng, couldn't you have chosen a better opportunity to attack? Can't you see that I'm here? If you shoot me, wouldn't it be all over?"
Seeing that the bows and arrows had little effect, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji and others immediately ordered a charge.
So, they had more than a thousand soldiers, armed with spears and swords, shouting the slogan "Kill Cao Cao's thieves", and attacked Cao Cao's personal guards.
Cao Cao's bodyguard is the Tiger Guard. As the commander of Cao Cao's bodyguard, Cao Cao is going to a dangerous situation. How could Xu Chu not be there?
The shield wall dispersed, revealing Xu Chu squatting next to Cao Cao holding a shield.
Xu Chu stood up, threw away his shield, and roared angrily: "The Prime Minister has an order! Rebellious ministers and traitors will be killed without mercy!!!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!!"
The Tiger Guards hit their shields with their swords and let out three thundering roars.
Wang Zifu and others were basically composed of new recruits who had never been on the battlefield. At this moment, they were frightened by the Tiger Guards, which only had a hundred people. Their faces turned pale.
"Don't be afraid, there are only a hundred of them!" Dong Cheng risked his life. He raised his sword and shouted: "Kill Cao Cao. I will make him a general and reward him with ten thousand catties of gold!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!
Such a huge reward made the eyes of his soldiers turn red!
"Kill the thief Cao!!"
"Kill the thief Cao!!"
More than a thousand soldiers charged towards Cao Cao and others.
Liu Xie had been helped up by Cao Cao. At this moment, he was standing next to Cao Cao, looking at Cao Cao out of the corner of his eyes, silently.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, these rebels won't be able to overthrow the enemy!" Cao Cao turned his head, looked at Liu Xie, and comforted him softly.
Liu Xie nodded and did not reply.
Upon seeing this, Cao Cao turned around and stared at the fierce fighting that was about to come.
A complicated look flashed in Liu Xie's eyes. Even though he had a dagger at his waist, he did not have the courage to pull out the dagger and stab it into Cao Cao's waist.
After all, he was surrounded by Cao Cao's personal guards. Even if he could kill Cao Cao, he would not be able to get out alive.
"Where's Uncle Liu Huang?"
Liu Xie suddenly thought of Liu Bei, and began to look for traces of him everywhere.
After looking around, Liu Xie finally saw Liu Bei, who was lying on the ground "unconscious" with an arrow stuck in his left shoulder.
He did not have the courage to attack Cao Cao, and Liu Bei was seriously injured by an arrow and fainted.
A sneak attack was impossible, and Liu Xie could only hope that the group of people led by Dong Cheng could break through the defense of Cao Cao's personal guards and execute Cao Cao's thieves on the spot.
More than a thousand soldiers who were ambushing Cao Cao quickly rushed in front of Cao Cao's personal guards.
But what Liu Xie never expected was that Cao Cao only had these one hundred personal guards, and they could withstand the impact of Dong Cheng's soldiers!
"The night is long and there are many dreams. Gentlemen, please capture Cao Cao as soon as possible!!!" Dong Cheng saw that the situation could not be opened, so he shouted and urged again.
Prince Fu, Zhong Ji and others have already gone into battle with their swords in person, but the Tiger Guards, led by Xu Chu, still defended as solid as a rock, motionless! Gu Nao
It's been a quarter of an hour!
Liu Xie's heart sank and he looked at Liu Bei again.
Liu Bei's head has been tilted away, and his chest and abdomen have stopped rising and falling, giving people the feeling of receiving a lunch box.
Liu Bei couldn't count on him at all. Liu Xie quietly looked at Cao Cao from the corner of his eyes. He was surprised to find that Cao Cao was calm and calm at this moment, without any worry or fear.
"No, the father-in-law is about to suffer!" Liu Xie suddenly came back to his senses after seeing Cao Cao's demeanor, "Cao Cao must have been prepared for this!"
Just when Liu Xie was secretly thinking something bad, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance!
"Cavalry!!!" Wang Zifu shouted sternly!
They have no cavalry at all, so the owners of these hoofbeats must be Cao Cao's reinforcements!!!
"Who dares to hurt my father (eldest brother)!!!"
When Cao Cao saw the appearance of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by his son Cao Ang and his cousin Cao Chun, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Zixiu Zihe, kill the rebels!!!"
Hearing Lao Cao's angry voice, Cao Ang and Cao Chun felt relieved.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, charge with me!"
"Kill the rebels!"
"Capture Dong Cheng alive!!"
...
As the lightning-fast, wolf-like Tiger and Leopard Cavalry joined the battle group, the target of Xu Tian's hunting instantly changed from Cao Cao to Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others...
After just one charge, the soldiers under Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji and others collapsed and began to flee in a hurry. Some of them even fled slowly and simply lay on the ground, holding their heads and shouting "Surrender, I surrender!!"
"
The emperor's lips parted slightly, as if he couldn't believe that Dong Cheng was defeated like this...
"well..."
A sigh came from Liu Xie's side.
Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Cao Cao expressionlessly, but he only heard Cao Cao say: "Isn't it good to enjoy life quietly? Why bother..."
Liu Xie was chewing on the meaning of Cao Cao's words.
At this time, Xu Chu, who was covered in blood, dragged his sword to Cao Cao, cupped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, everything is under control!"
Liu Xie was startled and said to himself: "What does it mean to have everything under control?"
After being stunned for half a second, Liu Xie came to his senses, and suddenly he felt that his neck and even his whole body were stiff...
Trying to turn his head away from staring at Cao Cao, Liu Xie's eyes were full of horror, and his heart was filled with huge waves.
"Is it possible...that all this has been planned by Cao Cao?!"
"Damn it, I fell into Cao Cao's trick!!!"
"Why on earth is all this?!" Just as unbelievable as the emperor was his father-in-law Dong Cheng.
Seeing the soldiers being pinned to the ground and being rubbed wantonly by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Dong Cheng felt despair in his heart, "Is it possible that Cao Cao was able to predict the unknown? Otherwise, how could the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who were dozens of miles away, appear so quickly?
here?"
"Is everything over?" Dong Cheng's eyes went dead silent, then he raised the long sword in his hand and touched his neck.
However, there was a "bang!" and before Dong Cheng's sword could be raised to his chest, he was hit in the back of the head by the handle of Cao Ang's spear, causing him to faint.
Cao Ang caught the biggest fish and said with great enthusiasm: "Tie it up for me and leave it to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister for punishment!!"
"Tied!"
"Dong Cheng was captured without hesitation, why don't you surrender quickly!!"
When Liu Xie heard that Dong Cheng had been captured alive, he staggered back two steps, raised his head and closed his eyes.
"It's over...my dream of reviving the Han Dynasty, the ten thousand-year foundation of the Han Dynasty...it's all over..."
