Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters beat your face fiercely
Niu Jin turned pale with fright, only to realize that the Chu army was not only prepared at the wall, but also had a cavalry waiting to intercept him on the way.
The frightened Niu Jin had no intention of fighting anymore and just urged his horse to run wildly.
However, the Chu army's cavalry came very quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were attacking diagonally. The rolling torrent of cavalry cut off the Han army's escape route like sharp arrows.
The Chu general at the front, sitting on a white horse, dancing with a silver spear, had the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand men.
Niu Jin took a look by the light of the fire and was surprised to see that the coming general was actually Zhao Yun.
How strong Zhao Yun's martial arts was, Niu Jin naturally knew that his remaining fighting spirit was gone, and he only ran as fast as he could to save his life.
But they saw Zhao Yun's spear dancing like the wind. In the light rain that filled the sky, countless Han soldiers were stabbed to the ground. The silver spear passed by and blood flew wildly.
The bloody Zhao Yun led his invincible cavalry and easily cut off the frightened Han army. The iron hooves rolled back and forth, killing the fleeing enemies wantonly.
At this critical moment of life and death, Niu Jin could no longer care about others and could only ride his horse as hard as he could.
It's a pity that Niu Jin was blocked by Chu's cavalry in the chaos, so he couldn't escape easily.
When he tried his best to kill several Chu cavalry, and barely managed to escape to the city moat, Zhao Yun, who was among the rebels, had already locked onto him with his pair of extremely sharp eagles.
All his family members were killed by Zhuge Liang. Zhao Yun no longer cared about the Han Dynasty, he only wanted to kill all his enemies and avenge his family members.
Seeing Niu Jin in front of him, Zhao Yun, who had always been calm, his eyes were red with anger. He rode his horse to cut a bloody path and came straight to get Niu Jin.
In the blink of an eye, the man and his horse, almost like red and white lightning, attacked violently.
Niu Jin saw Zhao Yun approaching. With no way to escape, he knew he was outmatched, so he could only grit his teeth and wield his sword with all his strength in an attempt to resist.
Zhao Yun, however, rushed over as fast as lightning.
Amidst the roaring sound, the silver gun in Zhao Yun's hand came out. The big gun carried the power of thunder and stabbed Niu Jin like lightning.
Wherever the spear passed, it rolled away like a furious wave, and a vortex-shaped invisible force was actually formed, wrapping Niu Jin's whole body in it, making him unable to escape.
Niu Jin felt a mountain of blade energy coming in forcefully. The pressure was so oppressive that he could hardly breathe.
With no choice but to evade, Niu Jin could only use up all his strength, roaring and swinging his sword, trying to block Zhao Yun's shocking blow.
Before the blade came out, Zhao Yun's protruding spear suddenly accelerated halfway down the road. It passed through the defense of Niu Jin's blade like lightning and arrived in an instant.
There was a muffled sound of bone and flesh being torn apart, and a drop of blood flew into the air.
Zhao Yun passed by Niu Jin like lightning, leaving behind him blood mist splashing in the sky.
Niu Jin's eyes widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He lowered his head tremblingly, only to see a blood hole as big as the mouth of a bowl clearly appeared on his chest.
In one move, Zhao Yun pierced Niu Jin's chest with his incredible spear skills.
A large amount of blood surged out from the blood hole. Niu Jin's figure swayed, and he fell to the ground. His body twitched a few times and stopped moving.
The number one general under Cao Ren was killed by Zhao Yun with one move.
As soon as Niu Jin died, the rest of the fleeing Han army collapsed and just ran away with their heads in hand, completely losing their tactics.
Zhao Yun's silver spear stabbed left and right, as if entering an uninhabited land, slashing the enemy soldiers wildly.
The Chu army's cavalry even trampled and killed the defeated army who had lost their command, trampling under their iron hooves wantonly, dyeing the ground under their feet into a blood-red carpet.
The thundering sound of killing gradually subsided, and Zhao Yun's cavalry had almost killed the five thousand Han soldiers. Only a handful of more than a hundred cavalry managed to escape, and fled back to Yecheng in embarrassment.
At this time, at the south gate of Ye City, Zhuge Liang was still shaking his feather fan, looking at the raging flames in the Chu camp with a mocking gaze.
"Although our army won this battle, it is a pity that the five hundred lurking soldiers will be harmed by Chu thieves afterwards." Cao Ren sighed.
Zhuge Liang did not take it seriously and said coldly: "For the sake of the overall situation, sacrifice is inevitable. These five hundred soldiers died for the great man. They died well and with honor."
When the soldiers on the left and right heard Zhuge Liang's ruthless words, they felt secretly in their hearts.
Cao Ren was silent and said no more, just silently watching the blazing fire in the Chu camp.
At this time, more than half an hour had passed since the operation began, but the fire in Chu camp still did not stop.
Cao Ren was fine at first, but as he watched, he became more and more suspicious. Suddenly, Cao Ren's eyes changed slightly, as if he saw something strange.
"Stop beating the drum, stop shouting, stop it all!" Cao Ren shouted.
When the order was given, the sound of the war drums quickly stopped, and the Han soldiers, who had already shouted hoarsely, stopped panting.
Zhuge Liang asked curiously: "Zixiao, why did you give the order to stop?"
"Prime Minister Zhuge, look at the Chu camp carefully, don't you think it's a little strange?" Cao Ren pointed at the Chu camp.
Zhuge Liang looked suspicious and turned his attention to Chu Ying again. This time, he observed carefully with suspicion.
After a long while, Zhuge Liang's expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to see something fishy.
The suspicious place was the fire in the Chu camp.
Logically speaking, if the Chu army was aware of the five hundred men setting fire to the camp, they could easily suppress it and quickly put out the fire.
If the fire cannot be controlled, it will inevitably spread and burn bigger and bigger.
And if the fire is effectively controlled, the fire should become smaller and smaller, and the places where the fire started should be reduced one by one.
But in the Chu camp opposite, the fire intensity remained unchanged for a long time. It neither spread nor weakened, and the number of fire points did not decrease.
Zhuge Liang was too confident, so he didn't see this weirdness, but Cao Ren had some disbelief in Zhuge Liang's strategy from beginning to end. After careful consideration, he discovered something was wrong.
Zhuge Liang is also a smart man. Now, with Cao Ren's reminder, he took a closer look and saw something unusual.
"Could it be that those fires turned out to be..." Zhuge Liang's expression changed with shock, and he didn't dare to say what he said next.
Cao Ren's face was ashen and he said in a deep voice: "Those fires in the enemy camp must be piles of bonfires deliberately lit by Chu thieves, not burning tents. Only in this way can we explain what we see now. Prime Minister Zhuge,
We may have fallen into a trap."
Zhuge Liang's body trembled, and a chill filled his heart.
"Impossible, the prime minister's plan is so perfect, how could the traitor see through it?" Zhuge Liang yelled hoarsely, refusing to admit this embarrassing fact.
However, Cao Ren said seriously: "Prime Minister Zhuge, it is related to the life and death of my five thousand soldiers. Now is not the time to save face. We should quickly give the order and order Niu Jin to lead the army to withdraw."
Since the fire was deliberately lit by the Chu army, it proves that Yan Liang has seen through their plan. If so, Yan Liang must have known about Zhuge Liang's plan of combining inside and outside.
In this case, the Chu army must have been on guard at the east gate. If Niu Jin and his five thousand troops went forward, wouldn't they be throwing themselves into a trap?
Cao Ren realized the seriousness of the situation in an instant and immediately asked Zhuge Liang to take back his life.
However, Zhuge Liang was embarrassed and annoyed by Cao Ren's words "This is not a good time". He felt that Cao Ren was being unreasonable and openly ridiculed himself in front of all the soldiers.
Zhuge Liang became angry on the spot and said with a straight face: "Based on your own words, why would you let this great opportunity pass? If you miss this opportunity, how can you break the siege of Ye City?"
"Prime Minister Zhuge!" Cao Ren shouted sharply, pointing to the outside of the city and asking: "If my suspicion is wrong, how should I explain Chu Ying's suspicion?"
This question stunned Zhuge Liang. Even though he was eloquent, he didn't know how to respond for a while.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was speechless, Cao Ren shouted: "Come here, hurry up and send an order to Niu Jin, telling him to abandon his original plan and quickly withdraw his troops to Yecheng!"
Cao Ren was in a hurry and made his own decision without Zhuge Liang's consent.
Zhuge Liang's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Cao Zixiao, how can you make decisions without the order of the prime minister? Do you still have Zhuge Liang, a great Han prime minister, in your eyes?"
Zhuge Liang felt that his authority was being challenged, so he used his official position as prime minister to suppress Cao Ren.
Cao Ren was choked at this moment. It was a fact that Zhuge Liang was superior to him. It was also a fact that Liu Bei left a decree and ordered him to obey Zhuge Liang's command.
If Cao Ren disobeyed Zhuge Liang's orders, he would be disobeying Liu Bei's will.
For a moment, Cao Ren was angry and anxious, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a horseman came flying from the east and went straight to the south gate of Ye City.
"Let me tell you, Prime Minister, something bad has happened. General Niu was caught in an ambush by the Chu army and his entire army was wiped out!"
A thunderbolt struck from the blue.
Everyone on the front lines of the city was shocked when they heard this shocking information.
Cao Ren was also frightened. He didn't expect the change to happen so quickly. Niu Jin had already been ambushed and his entire army was wiped out.
Zhuge Liang was so shocked that his face was distorted, his mouth was so exaggerated that he couldn't close his mouth, and the feather fan in his hand almost fell from his hand.
"How is this possible, how is this possible..." Zhuge Liang muttered to himself in shock and was already a little incoherent.
Cao Ren woke up from the shock first and glared at Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister Zhuge, I told you that Yan Thief had a plan, but you didn't believe me. What else do you have to say now."
Everyone's eyes were turned towards Zhuge Liang, and there was accusation in their eyes.
Zhuge Liang felt like a light on his back. He was frightened and embarrassed in his heart. Suddenly, a feeling of shame and annoyance filled his chest.
"Since you have already seen the suspicion, why didn't you report it to me earlier and only say it now?" Zhuge Liang became angry and blamed Cao Ren.
"You——" Cao Ren was extremely angry and didn't know what to say.
At this time, the sky will be bright, and the east sky will be white.
In the Chu camp, Yan Liang stood on horseback and looked at the enemy city from a distance, with a sarcastic sneer in his cold eyes.
