Chapter 628: The Sorrow of Cao Jun’s Defeat by Yan Wen
Will a miracle happen? Of course not! If miracles always happen at the last moment, wouldn't it become common sense? Under the strong attack of Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua, the north gate of Runan collapsed, and the soldiers of Qin marched towards Runan City with neat steps.
!Although there were still Sun and Cao coalition forces blocking the way, how could the mere resistance stop the Qin army with high morale? For a time, the Qin army was unstoppable, and Runan City fell!
The banners with the characters "Wei" and "Wu" on the top of the city in Runan suddenly fell down, causing the entire battlefield to change. The first person to see the change of ownership in Runan was Liu Zhang, who was desperately resisting the attack of the coalition forces. While killing the enemy, he pointed
At the top of Runan City, people were so excited that they were speechless.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Seeing Liu Zhang's abnormality, Dian Wei and Pang Tong hurriedly came to his side!
"Look...look at the top of the city!" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Liu Zhang shouted: "Runan City is destroyed!"
Looking up, I saw a large flag with white characters on a black background stuck on the ruins at the head of Runan City. On the flag was embroidered with gold thread a golden dragon with teeth and claws, and the big Chinese character Qin fluttered in the wind. The destruction of Runan City meant
Seeing the victory of the battle, even the wise Pang Tong was a little at a loss. He pointed at the banner with the word Qin, his eyes were a little wet!
"Send the order, the whole army will counterattack!" Pang Tong's throat was already hoarse, but he used his hoarse voice to yell out the order to counterattack. There was no need to hold on to the Beizhai, because from the moment the Qin army's flag was planted on the top of the city,
Lu Meng and Gao Shun have ordered to retreat!
"Kill!" Holding the Overlord Spear, Liu Zhang took the lead, followed by the Dian family and his son, and even Pang Tong fell behind. Of course, Liu Zhang had arranged for Meng Da to protect Pang Tong, otherwise he would never abandon Pang Tong and ignore him!
The balance on the battlefield was broken, and the Sun-Cao coalition forces began to collapse. The Qin soldiers seemed to have been on stimulants, and they seemed to have forgotten the fatigue of the past few days. They were chasing the coalition soldiers with various weapons, just to kill them.
Another addition to the list of achievements. As for capturing prisoners, naturally we have to wait until the coalition soldiers surrender!
The generals of Cao's army who saw the King's Banner changing at the top of the city also knew that the situation was over. Except for Lu Bu, who had the advantage, everyone else seemed to be entangled by the generals of Qin's army. Looking at more and more Qin troops, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and forced Zhao Yun away
, fled towards Shouchun, and on the way he also rescued Chen Gong who was trapped in the rebel army.
"Your Majesty, retreat!" Lu Meng, who had fled back, immediately found Sun Quan. The two of them worked together to fight off Guan Ping, while Guan Ping took Zhou Cang and others and retreated directly into the north gate of Runan, taking a defensive posture at the door.
To prevent the coalition forces from taking the opportunity to attack the city.
"King Wei, what should I do?" Ignoring Lu Meng, Sun Quan found Cao Cao, and he didn't want to admit defeat yet!
"Can you organize troops to attack the city?" Looking at the newly captured Runan City, Cao Cao was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to take back the city before the Qin army attacked!
"Your Majesty, we don't have enough troops in our hands, and there aren't many defenders in the city. We are willing but weak!" Sima Yi also came over. He happened to hear Cao Cao's question, but poured cold water on Cao Cao!
"Zhongda, we can't defend Runan. Shouchun is an isolated city. Do you think we can defend it?" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"Yes!" Sima Yi roared: "My king, you are a hero recognized by the world. Even if there is still one city left, you can still come back! We will turn Shouchun into a front line and connect Jiujiang and Lujiang counties to Jiangdong. We will definitely be able to block it.
Qin Jun, you must not lose heart!"
Seeing that Cao Cao was actually discouraged, Sun Quan was filled with anger. He said in a deep voice: "King Wei, I have always admired you. Although I have suffered a defeat now, I hope you will not let me look down upon you!"
"Zhongmou, you..." Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Sun Quan would encourage him.
With a cold look in his eyes, Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Mengde, now we are grasshoppers on the same rope. If you lose, how can Gu Jiangdong endure it? For Gu Jiangdong, Gu will not allow you to lose, nor will you admit defeat.
, Otherwise, don’t blame me for being lonely!”
"Zhongmou, don't worry, it's not that easy to defeat Gu!" Cao Cao turned around and ordered: "Zhongda, you immediately order all the soldiers to retreat to Shouchun. Gu will make his last stand in Shouchun!"
"Yes!" Sima Yi quickly called the messengers to search for the generals in the chaos. Unfortunately, many of Cao's generals only found their bodies!
The first person to escape was Lu Bu. After he left, Zhao Yun was free. Zhao Yun, who had nothing to do, naturally chose to help the Qin generals, but the unlucky Yan Liang and Wen Chou threw themselves into the trap at this time! Since then, they have seen the changes in the city of Runan.
Banner, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou wanted to escape. But Guan Yu and Liu Xian joined forces, making the two of them miserable. After finally forcing Guan Yu and Liu Xian back, they were trying to escape towards Shouchun, but they were blocked by Zhao Yun.
!
"Brother, what should I do?" Zhao Yun was blocking the way in front, and Guan Yu, Liu Xian, and Wen Chou were at a loss behind, so they could only ask Yan Liang for advice.
"Only the devil knows what to do!" Although Yan Liang was smarter than Wen Chou, he was at a loss when faced with such a desperate situation!
"Kill him?" Looking at Zhao Yun, Wen Chou gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Yun's martial arts is similar to Lu Bu's. Although we can't defeat Lu Bu together, we can escape. How about we give it a try?"
"That's the only way!" Yan Liang nodded. If there is no other way, force breaking is the only way!
"You two, surrender!" Seeing that the two of them were not moving, and Guan Yu and Liu Xian were not far away. As a fellow countryman, Zhao Yun naturally wanted to persuade the two of them to surrender. He smiled and said: "The King of Qin has always loved talents. As long as you surrender, he will surrender."
I guarantee you will survive!"
"Really?" Yan Liang and Wen Chou rode forward with a smile, and suddenly accelerated just fifty steps away from Zhao Yun. Yan Liang charged while shouting: "Liu Zhang won't kill us, but we want to kill him! Yuan
How can we repay the great kindness you have shown us if we don’t kill Liu Zhang?”
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined!" Zhao Yun's face darkened, and he stabbed the two of them as fast as possible with the spear in his hand. This time, he showed no mercy, and used the Seven Coiled Snake Probes as he came up, because he didn't want to let anyone lose again.
The two of them went against Liu Zhang!
"Dangdang..." After two crisp sounds, Yan Liang and Wen Chou took three steps back. They looked at Zhao Yun in horror and said, "Aren't you similar to Lu Bu in martial arts? Why can you stop us? You know, if we work together,
Even Lu Bu will be forced to retreat!"
"My martial arts skills are similar to Lu Bu's, but he can't stop him, but that doesn't mean I can't stop him either!" Zhao Yun waved his spear, his eyes full of pride.
The combined force of Yan Liang and Wen Chou can indeed make Lu Bu retreat, because Lu Bu's martial arts is mainly about strength. However, Zhao Yun used Tai Chi Jin to neutralize the strength of the two, or even rebound it. How could the two of them break through? However, Zhao Yun was not prepared.
Explain, he is thinking about how to deal with the two of them!
"Kill!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other and nodded. Reluctantly, they took a few steps back and rushed towards Zhao Yun, hoping to rush over before Guan Yu caught up. Unfortunately, after trying several times, the two of them failed.
No one succeeded!
"Surrender!" Zhao Yun shook the spear in his hand and felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was not made of iron. Even if he could release his strength, he could not release all his strength. Under the strong attack of the two men, his arm
Feeling slightly numb!
"Don't even think about it!" Since the many righteous people in Hebei recognized Cao Cao as their lord, how could Yan Liang and Wen Chou surrender before Cao Cao died? But if they didn't surrender, in Zhao Yun's eyes, they were looking for death!
"Save your life!" Guan Yu finally killed him. He was filled with anger when he looked at the two of them. He had been almost injured by the two of them twice in a row. How could the proud Guan Yu endure this?
"Yun Chang, please first persuade the two of them to surrender. With their martial arts, it will definitely be beneficial to the king's hegemony!" Zhao Yun smiled slightly and gave a reason that Guan Yu could not refuse.
"Huh!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, staring at the two of them, hoping that they would refuse so that he could vent his anger.
"I would rather die than surrender!" They were all surrounded, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou were still so determined. They stood back to back, holding their weapons tightly, looking like they were stubbornly resisting!
"I will help you!" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and raised the sword in his hand. Although he admired their loyalty, he did not like their stubborn resistance.
People are so contradictory. If the two surrendered easily, Guan Yu would definitely look down on them and think they had no backbone. But they resisted stubbornly, and Guan Yu was still unhappy, thinking that they were ignorant of current affairs. However, the two were not in the mood to consider Guan Yu's ideas.
The gate of hell has been closed, and I am just trying to find a way out!
"Yun Chang, capture them alive!" Zhao Yun shouted fiercely, and together with Liu Xian and Guan Yu, they attacked Yan Liang and Wen Chou. In his opinion, with the strength of the three of them, it should be easy to capture Yan and Wen!
"Don't underestimate us!" Seeing Zhao Yun and the others rushing towards them, Yan Liang and Wen Chou showed a hint of determination in their eyes. They raised their weapons and did not even block, they were bent on exchanging lives for lives!
"Zilong, these two have already made up their minds, don't hold back!" Angered by the two, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword became faster and faster. Although he didn't kill anyone, there were many wounds on the two of them!
"Alas..." Zhao Yun sighed and said, "Since they just want to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, let's help them!"
"Okay!" Guan Yufeng's eyes widened, his eyebrows stood upright, his green parrot uniform moved without any wind, and his long beard spread out. In order to respect his opponent, he actually prepared to use the most powerful move!
"Thank you!" Yan Liang, who knew he was going to die, saw a trace of gratitude in his eyes when Guan Yu respected him so much, but it couldn't change the fate of his death!
"Brother, thank him for what he did. Let's work together to drag them down, even the youngest one!" Wen Chou also knew that he was going to die. He was unwilling to die like this and actually wanted Liu Xian to take his place!
"Okay!" Yan Liang also felt that it was reasonable after hearing this. He immediately joined forces with Wen Chou to attack Liu Xian!
"Kill!" There was a loud shout, and the five men took action at the same time. Yan Liang was desperate, but Wen Chou was faster, and instantly knocked away Liu Xian's big gun. Seeing that Liu Xian was about to die, Guan Yu's knife cut off Yan Liang's head.
Next, Zhao Yun's spear pierced Wen Chou's chest, and Wen Chou's spear was less than an inch away from Liu Xian's throat!
"They are all madmen!" Feeling the chill in his throat, Liu Xian swallowed his saliva. Even the tiger's mouth cracked by the weapon and the oily skin on his palm no longer felt pain!
"You guys have to thank us properly!" Zhao Yun pulled out his silver gun and picked up the big gun that Liu Xian had dropped on the ground. Liu Xian rushed to pick it up, but he rubbed the wound on his palm!
"Hiss..." Taking a breath of cold air, Liu Xian quickly hung the big gun on the winning hook. He looked at the palm of his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "These two guys are really powerful. They almost killed me when they counterattacked.
Life! After I return to Chang'an, I will definitely serve wine to thank my two uncles for saving my life!"
"Can we still fight?" Hearing Liu Xian call his uncle, Guan Yu touched his long beard with satisfaction. Since he was a junior, he naturally had to show concern.
"Yes!" Liu Xian tore off two strips of cloth from his robe and wrapped his palms. He held the big gun and said, "Two uncles, now is the time when our army is making a huge reversal. How can I do it because of this small injury?"
And back down!”
"Okay!" Guan Yu said with a smile: "In that case, the three of us will separate to help other generals and try our best to kill the enemy generals!"
"That's it!" Zhao Yun nodded, and the three cavalry immediately dispersed!
After they were dispersed, Zhao Yun headed to the south of the city. He remembered that Huang Zhong chased the Xiahou brothers there. Apart from Guan Yu, who was facing Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the person he was most worried about was Huang Zhong. After all, Huang Zhong was already in his sixties.
His physical strength is not as good as before, otherwise Liu Zhang would not have stopped Huang Zhong from fighting Lu Bu!
As soon as they reached the south of the city, they saw Huang Zhong holding a broadsword and fighting with two Cao generals. Zhao Yun hurriedly rode forward to help him capture Cao generals. The Xiahou brothers wanted to bully Huang Zhong because he was old and frail, but when they saw Zhao Yun coming to kill them, they turned around.
Then he ran away. Huang Zhong immediately rode on his horse to catch up, while Zhao Yun also followed him from a distance.
The Xiahou brothers were Cao Cao's favorite generals, but their horses were the best in Cao Cao's army. They were two horses capable of traveling thousands of miles. Although the horses under Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were better than theirs, they took advantage of the terrain and defeated Huang Zhong.
Zhong, Zhao Yun was thrown farther and farther away. Seeing that the enemy would be difficult to catch up, Zhao Yun wanted to persuade Huang Zhong to give up. When he turned around, he saw Huang Zhong holding a horse with his legs and holding a long bow! Although Liu Zhang had asked the Ministry of Works to equip the war horse
He has acquired stirrups, horseshoes and a high-bridge saddle, but on a galloping horse, it is simply more difficult to hit something moving, even if the target is large.
"Death..." Huang Zhong shouted loudly, and the long arrow flew out of his hand, heading straight for Xiahou Dun's heart. Just after he finished shooting, he dropped the long bow and chased after him.
The long arrow shot towards Xiahou Dun with the sound of whistling wind. Xiahou Dun also heard the sound of the wind. He was confident that he could dodge the arrow. But he forgot, could Huang Zhong's arrow be so simple? Xiahou Yuan, who was running behind, saw the flying arrow and shot it.
The long arrow came, and he shouted quickly: "Brother, be careful, it's a chain of arrows!"
"What?" Xiahou Dun was shocked. It's not that he didn't know what a chain of arrows was, but he didn't expect that someone could shoot a chain of arrows on a high-speed horseback. He didn't expect that what Huang Zhong shot was not an ordinary chain of arrows.
Instead, they were a series of arrows arranged in a zigzag pattern. If you wanted to avoid it, you had to jump on your horse to escape, or use your horse to block the arrows!
"Brother, jump on the horse quickly!" Xiahou Yuan shouted again, but how could Xiahou Dun dare to jump off the horse? Although Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were thrown further and further away, it was only such a small distance and at the speed of a thousand-mile horse, they couldn't reach them in just a moment?
Vaulting and courting death are almost equal!
Seeing the arrow flying closer and closer, Xia Houyuan's heart was struggling. Suddenly, he sighed and shouted: "Brother, help me take care of my children!"
"Miaocai, what are you going to do?" Xiahou Dun looked back and his eyes suddenly split. Xia Houyuan turned his horse's head, and all the arrows fired by Huang Zhong hit Xia Houyuan's horse.
"Brother, go quickly, don't let down the opportunity that my brother has given you!" Xia Houyuan kicked the war horse away and stood in the middle of the road with a knife, trying to block Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.
"No..." How could Xiahou Dun watch his brother die? He would turn back as soon as he pulled his horse.
"Let's go!" Seeing his brother turning around again, Xia Houyuan put the long knife in his hand across his neck and said, "If you don't go, I will die here!"
"Wonderful talent..." Xiahou Dun had no choice but to leave in tears. He was afraid of seeing Xia Houyuan's death and did not even dare to look back.
"You two, stay!" Seeing that his eldest brother was gone, Xia Houyuan was determined to die. He stood in the middle of the road and blocked Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun with a smile!
"General Xiahou, surrender!" Huang Zhong raised his sword to strike, but before he could strike, he put the sword down again!
"Do you think it's possible?" Xia Houyuan smiled slightly and said: "I am the brother of King Wei, how can I surrender? Come on, my head is here, who can take it away!"
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said: "General Xiahou, you are not only the brother of King Wei, but also the father-in-law of General Zhang Fei! As long as you put down your arms, I promise not to let you go to the battlefield again. When my lord rules the world, you can still fight with me.
Family reunion. You should know that my lord has never had the idea of killing King Wei!"
"This..." Xia Houyuan hesitated when he heard his daughter. He hadn't seen her for many years. He opened his mouth and asked awkwardly: "Is Juan'er okay?"
"Okay!" Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Yide loves her so much. She has already given birth to a son and two daughters. His son Zhang Bao is already able to go to the battlefield!"
"Really?" Xia Houyuan said: "It seems that Liu Zhang has found a good husband for my daughter. If you two see him, please help me thank him!"
"General, wouldn't it be more sincere to thank him yourself?" Zhao Yun shook his head. He really didn't want to hurt Xia Houyuan.
"Back then, I gave her to Zhang Fei as my wife, and I always felt guilty. Knowing that she lived a good life, I was satisfied. I just hope she wouldn't blame me!" Xia Houyuan sighed, leaving a trace of tears in the corner of his eyes. After so many years,
Later, he had always avoided mentioning Xia Houjuan. He was really satisfied to know the news about his daughter before he died!
"General, why are you so stubborn? What's the difference between being under house arrest and dying?" Zhao Yun was a little anxious. He really didn't expect Xia Houyuan to be so stubborn!
"While alive, I must serve Mengde. If I die, I won't have to worry about Mengde's success or failure. I will never let Mengde off just to survive!" Xia Houyuan stood solemnly, and it could be seen from his eyes that his
