Xu Zhu asked someone to pass the order separately. Who knew that the subordinates who had left the city would not leave the general? Although the Yangzhou Western Camp soldiers had not been with Cao Zhi for a long time, they knew that the general was a good person and would rather live in a dangerous place.
He asked his subordinates to retreat first, and was determined not to retreat on his own. After following this captain for these days, I have seen all the benefits. If he abandons his general and leaves now, is he still a human being? The hundreds of soldiers rushed back to fight with him again.
The enemy armies fought together.
Men are like this. They exchange sincere feelings for respect and trust. Heart-to-heart exchanges can win everything and make them forget everything. Life and death are no longer important at this moment. What matters is brothers.
The gaze at the last moment. He tolerated everything, life and death, heaven and earth. At this time, they were still on the battlefield, and their spirits had blended together.
Seeing the enemy soldiers getting closer and closer, the crossbow arrows landed more than ten feet away from Cao Zhi and others. Le Jin was already being dragged away by several sergeants. At this time, he looked back and saw that Cao Zhi and others were in a dangerous situation.
The sergeant threw away his support and ran back, and the remaining dozens of people also ran back to help.
Xu Zhu and Le Jin stood next to Cao Zhi and called out: "Brother!"
Cao Zhi's eyes were filled with tears. He choked and shouted hoarsely: "I don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but I want to die in the same year and the same month!"
"I don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but I want to die in the same year and the same month..." The tragic voice echoed for a long time in the rushing crowd.
Cao Zhi was moved and complained secretly, thinking: "These people follow him one by one and gather together for promotion and wealth, but now... how can they fight against the enemy with just this small number of troops?"
?It doesn’t matter if I die alone, but these brothers are all gathered and annihilated outside the south city by the enemy soldiers, so...that’s..."
Alas! Just die! Everyone held their weapons tightly and hacked at random, waiting for the last and most violent impact.
Cao Zhi was determined to die. He even secretly held a stick of dynamite in his hand, preparing to die with the enemy when he finally exhausted his strength. Just when Cao Zhi and others were not caring about life and death, suddenly the enemy formation suddenly
The gong sounded sharply, and the gong sounded like a gold retreat. As soon as the enemy soldiers who were rushing forward heard the gong, they immediately turned their horses, and the rear team became the front team, and retreated to the northeast.
Cao Zhi was surprised and didn't know why, but he heard loud shouts from behind the enemy's formation and saw dust and sand flying. It turned out that another army and horse attacked their back.
Cao Zhi was even more surprised: "Why are there troops and horses behind the enemy's formation? Is there really someone causing trouble? Sishui Town is surrounded by enemies from both sides, I'm afraid the situation is not good." When he saw the enemy troops being trapped, he couldn't help but care about others.
.
The pressure on Cao Zhi and others suddenly decreased, and they all jumped on their horses and retreated towards the south gate. As they walked, they looked behind the enemy formation. Cao Zhi took the time to climb the city wall again to check, and saw white flags flying in the east direction.
In fact, it was still dark at this time, but Cao Zhi could already clearly see the huge "Lü" flag leading to the army.
"Haha! This doesn't mean that my big help has arrived. The chaos is so good. These two groups are really fighting against each other." But the shouts of killing can be heard from the east.
Those who came were the real Chang'an Feibao Camp guards. After Lu Bu found out that he was in Cao Zhi's trap again, he randomly packed up Liu Bei and others and took back some of the treasures Liu Bei carried. Although Liu Bei and others were allowed to escape, those few soldiers and crab generals
It is no longer important, what is important is to capture Cao Zhi.
Lu Bu now regarded Cao Zhi as his biggest enemy. He was teased by Cao Zhi several times. Lu Bu was even more embarrassed and humiliated. He was willing to win over Cao Zhi.
Lü Bu was not stupid, and combined with various intelligences, Lü Bu determined that Cao Zhi was going to Hulao Pass to break out. Lü Bu abandoned Liu Bei and did not even return to Chang'an. He traveled day and night, riding light horses and chasing him to Sishui Town.
Before Lu Bu led his troops into Sishui Town, he could already see the town burning with fire. He was sure that it was Cao Zhi who was breaking out of the encirclement and intercepting him. Lu Bu secretly rejoiced, "It seems that we came at the right time!"
Lu Bu whipped his horse quickly and galloped to the east gate of Bishui Town. The east gate was not narrower than the north gate. It faced the official road in the direction of Chang'an, so the city gate was tall and mighty.
Although Ren Jun now knew that the people entering Bishui Town intended to go to Hulao Pass, he still knew that the east gate could not be ignored. Ren Jun reserved a group of archers on the east gate tower. When Ren Jun led his troops to rush to the south gate,
And strictly ordered no one to open the east gate at will.
"Who is it?" The guard at the east gate of Sishui Town saw a group of people galloping towards him from a distance and shouted loudly.
Lu Bu didn't want to be verbose and immediately revealed his identity: "Lü Bu from Chang'an led the Feibao Battalion to come to the rescue. The city guard opened the door quickly."
The defenders on the city still have doubts about the identity of the soldiers who entered the city. Although Ren Jun has repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers who sneaked into Sishui Town cannot be the guards of Chang'an Feihu Camp, Ren Jun cannot say this.
This was the purpose of the soldiers and horses sneaking into Bishui Town. How could Ren Jun know about Xinwu with his humble official position? So the soldiers below were more willing to believe the rumors that the soldiers in the town were Chang'an Feihuying guards. At this time
When he heard that it was another guard camp in Chang'an, he started to feel dizzy after being forced to calm down by Ren Jun.
There is already a guard camp in the city, and now another team has arrived, which confirms their idea that the emperor really wants to drive us all away.
Lu Bu was almost impatient waiting at the bottom of the city, and just cursed: "What are you waiting for? Put down the suspension bridge quickly, and then wait for the Israeli army... The law... is reversed, reversed!"
In the smoke and dust, a group of city guards opened their crossbows and fired arrows, making them invincible. More than a hundred people from the front of the Flying Leopard Camp led by Lu Bu were too close to the city gate, and when they heard the sound of arrows, they could not get out of the way.
, were all shot to death under the city wall by the city guards.
Lu Bu was also standing in front of the city gate. Before he could finish his words, crossbow arrows were coming down from the top of the city. He was in a hurry. While blocking the arrows, he turned his horse's head and retreated hastily. When he was still far away from the city wall, he fired the crossbow arrows.
When they didn't respond, they cursed a few words in return.
The soldiers in the city were not reluctant and scolded back: "The one who shot them is you, you idiot. I asked you to come to rescue me. Brothers, you must not let them enter the city, otherwise we will all be ruined. Shoot! Shoot these ghosts to death."
Son...quot;
Lu Bu shouted angrily: "You son of a bitch, you're looking for death!" As he spoke, he drew his long bow, fired three arrows from the bottom of the city, and only heard three screams of pain. Three city guards were hit by arrows and shot from the top of the city.
He came down. The officers and soldiers on the city couldn't shoot him, but his strong bow and crossbow could reach far. He hit three times with three shots. All the soldiers on the top of the city shouted in unison, drew back their strings and raised their shields.
However, when they heard the beating of drums in the city, the soldiers guarding the east gate blocked the Feibao Camp below the city and sent people to report to Ren Jun that the east gate was in critical need of reinforcements.
Fortunately, the soldiers who reported the news found Yang Yuan first. Yang Yuan had just finished putting out the fire, but he felt angry. A third of the county government office was burned down, and several rooms were uninhabitable. He was still suffering from the pain.
He was injured. Now when he heard that Chang'an had sent people again, and he was not allowed to live, Yang Yuan thought that he was the most loyal to the emperor and served the country.
Although Yang Yuan was a scholar, his bullish temper was stronger than that of ordinary people. He immediately ordered the gongs to be sounded and all the soldiers to gather at the east gate. He wanted to ask Changan what crime he was using to kill them all.
Although Ren Jun didn't know what was going on when he heard the gong, he could only obey the order and withdraw his troops and hurried to the east gate.
Following the emergency, Cao Zhi suddenly turned from sadness to joy. Cao Zhi immediately took advantage of this brief moment of confusion and shouted to his men: "Let's go!"
A group of armored soldiers, either riding horses or running, rushed out of the open city gate. After this period of fighting, some careful soldiers discovered the white cloth around the necks of Cao Zhi's subordinates, and thus identified this group.
He is not a good person and keeps chasing the general who is wearing a white cloth.
Now seeing Cao Zhi and others retreating in a hurry, they followed up reluctantly. Cao Zhi had been marching at the end of the team. At this time, when he saw the people chasing him, he cursed: "You can't stop killing dogs!"
He raised his hand and saw the explosive still in his hand.
"Let you have a taste of the power!" Cao Zhi said, throwing the long knife in his other hand, took out the fire stick, lit the fuse, and walked toward the south gate with all his strength.
There was a loud "coaxing" sound, like the roar of all beasts. The explosion made the legs of the pursuers weak. Looking back, half of the south gate was reduced to nothing in an instant. Due to the excessive concentration of personnel, many people were injured in the explosion.
Countless people were hit by the flying sawdust bullets, and they fell to the ground and wailed, their flesh and blood flying everywhere, it was too horrible to see.
At that moment, Cao Zhi and Xu Zhu rode together towards Hulao Pass. They rode for more than ten miles and reached a hill before stopping their horses and turning around to look back. There was still a bit of residual smoke floating in Sishui Town, but
There was no pursuer behind them. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, chasing the large group of people.
Lu Bu was finally able to enter Sishui Town. When Ren Jun rushed to the east gate and understood the situation, he immediately asked to open the city gate. Yang Yuan, who was still angry, got there one step ahead of him and still mobilized soldiers to defend Sishui Town.
The people coming here are definitely those who have committed rebellion. As long as they hold on for a moment, reinforcements from Xu Rong from the Prefecture will arrive immediately.
Yang Yuan was now waiting for Xu Rong. As soon as Xu Rong returned to Xingyang, he received a call for help from Bishui Town. He rushed over quickly, but it was still a step too late. He stayed by Lu Bu's side with a livid face.
Yang Yuan secretly glanced at the two immediate superiors, feeling uneasy and lamenting that his political fate was over. Ren Jun, who was the next boss, kept his head lowered in thought, but there was no pessimism on his face. He was working hard.
When he opened the door to greet Lu Bu despite all the objections, Yang Yuan almost tied him up on the spot. Fortunately, Xu Rong and his troops arrived at this time, and another fight between the same roommates was avoided.
Lu Bu rode his red rabbit horse all the way, and saw only defeated soldiers in ruins. When he reached the south gate, the situation became even more miserable.
Lu Bu turned around and glared fiercely at the officials behind him. After several parties met, the matter became clear. At this moment, the people patrolling Sishui Town each had their own thoughts, and some lamented.
Some were admired, and some were disappointed. Lu Bu and Xu Rong stopped at the south gate at the same time, looking at Hulao Pass not far away.
Lu Bu completely gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit. He was the lost one. The hard work of the past few days was over here. The most useless battle in his life came to mind at this moment. Many of his mistakes and traps all fell into his mind.
It's unforgivable.
Xu Rong was the one who lamented. He looked at Hulao Pass and felt sad in his heart. Why did the two Cao brothers have to go against him? This was the second time. Last time they were face to face with the Cao brothers.
We had a confrontation, but this time we didn't even see anyone. One of our most important hurdles was turned upside down.
Lu Bu and Xu Rong sighed at the same time! The sun has risen in the east, and the Yellow River is still rushing. What will be their respective fates? Only God knows.
