Cao Zhen is used as bait to lure the snake out of its hole
Outside Wuhuan City, Huang Xu led Bai Qi to charge back and forth among Cao Zhen's army and fired no less than ten times, directly killing most of the enemies.
But at this moment, Cao Chun, who had escaped the disaster, arrived here at some unknown time.
However, when he saw Wu Huancheng with the suspension bridge lowered, his expression became more solemn.
I thought that opening the city gate would be my only hope for survival, but who would have thought that I would encounter evil stars like Huang Xu again.
Not only were the ropes of the suspension bridge cut off, but all the soldiers who came out to support were also slaughtered by the evil star.
At this moment, Cao Chun and Cao Zhen, with only three to four hundred people left, were all in deep despair.
Speaking of which, this was the first time the two fought side by side since the estrangement began at the riverside. Cao Zhen's heart was full of resentment.
If Cao Chun had listened to his advice earlier and the armies of both sides had watched each other, I am afraid that the 30,000-strong army would not have ended up like it did today.
Not to mention, at least in the first confrontation with Huang Xu, the defeat would not be so tragic.
"My nephew, it seems we can't run away now."
Cao Chun sat astride the horse, panting heavily, looking very tired, and even the long sword in his hand seemed to be in danger of falling.
But the most tired thing was the war horse beneath him. Even if he was just standing, his limbs were trembling slightly.
"Okay, just say a few words less!"
Cao Zhen was very angry when he heard what he said. How could he not know what was going on at the moment?
But...looking at the broken soldiers who came out of the city gate to support but were killed in an instant, he really didn't know how to answer them.
At this point, no matter how stupid he is, he can see that the original plan to severely damage Huang Xu and others through internal and external attacks was a joke.
At the moment, Huang Xu had killed his entire army, leaving no trace behind.
It was obvious that Wuhuan City was very close. Although there were not many cavalry in the city, there were thousands of them at least, but no one could walk in front of him.
This kid Huang Xu is really ruthless.
They surrounded themselves and Cao Chun without killing them, just to attract the soldiers in the city to come out.
How dare you neglect the lives of two generals in defending the city?
But if they want to save people, they must sacrifice the lives of a large number of soldiers.
I don’t know whose hand this strange style of play came from.
He thought well. This strategy of encircling a point and calling for reinforcements was specially prepared by Xi Yu for black and white cavalry like them who were good at attacking from a distance.
"Damn it, there's no way out!"
The more he thought about it, the less he could find a way out. Cao Zhen sighed deeply. At this moment, he was almost exhausted.
Looking at Cao Zhen, who was no better than himself, Cao Chun's face became even more ugly.
He looked into the distance, and then whispered: "Actually... we still have hope, look to the east."
"East?"
Cao Zhen turned his head when he heard this, but was stunned when he saw a narrow path that could be used as a road. It seemed that only one person could pass through this path at a time!
"You...what do you mean?"
"You escape!"
Cao Chun said calmly: "Although I am a generation older than you, when it comes to military qualities, I am not as good as you in terms of talent. You are the future of our Cao Army, and the responsibility of being a clan general will definitely fall on you in the future!"
"So... take off your armor quickly!"
"Take off your armor? Me? Why...why is this?"
Cao Zhen was a little confused. He couldn't guess what the other party was thinking at the moment.
"If I tell you to fade away, you will fade away. Why are you talking nonsense? Hurry up!"
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Cao Chun could no longer control his emotions and growled: "I have no strength to escape anymore, but you still have a little bit of strength left. Although this move is dangerous, it is your only chance to escape."
!”
"What happens in the future depends on your own fate!"
Cao Zhen was shocked by these words, but he also understood the other party's intention.
"You mean-"
"Okay, leave quickly, it's better than everyone dying!"
Cao Chun said lightly, his eyes full of grief and anger.
Upon seeing this, Cao Zhen no longer hesitated, immediately dropped his weapon, took off his armor, and dismounted his horse when no one was paying attention.
"Grab some more dirt, cover your face, roll around on the ground, and then leave with the defecting soldiers!"
The location where the two of them were currently was just blocked by the dense mountains, so no one paid attention when they were doing these actions.
After a few brief conversations, we decided on an escape plan.
After a while, there were shouts from the side of the mountain forest. The two seemed to have a dispute over something, and then the soldiers from both sides started fighting endlessly.
"Ouch, is this going to start an internal fight?"
Huang Xu, who was not far away, was watching all this with amusement in his eyes.
His white cavalry has not lost many people recently, and the total number is still above a thousand, but it has gained an advantage on the battlefield and stole the show.
Now he saw that there was internal fighting among the enemy like a turtle in a urn, which really made him happy.
but······
At such a critical moment, why did they get into chaos?
"There's a problem!"
"This matter is not difficult to guess."
Wang Long saw Huang Xu's curiosity and took the initiative to step forward and said: "When I inquired about the news earlier, I learned that when Cao Zhen and Cao Chun were camping near Jinghe, they did not deal with them."
"At that time, Cao Zhen sent someone to tell Cao Chun that if he wanted the two armies to be closer, it would be better for both sides to strengthen their defense system together to prevent our sneak attacks. But who would have thought that Cao Chun not only didn't listen, but also sent Cao Zhen to
The person who went to deliver the message was beaten."
"Oh? And this one?"
Huang Xu, who had some doubts at first, immediately smiled and felt relaxed after hearing this.
Although the life and death of these people is already in his own hands, he is naturally happy to see his enemies fighting among themselves at such a critical moment.
"Since it's an internal fight, let's not rush forward. Let's just rest here for a while and watch the show."
"But you must always be alert to what's going on in Wuhuan City. We have already eliminated some of their soldiers. If anyone comes out again, we will attack the city decisively!"
"promise!"
······
Wrapped in a layer of mud, put on a soldier's armor, and made himself unkempt, Cao Zhen looked just like an ordinary soldier.
At this moment, I'm afraid even Cao Zhen's mother might not be able to recognize her own son when he comes.
After all, his son was a majestic general, so how could he ever be so embarrassed that he was mistreated like this?
Yes, abuse!
Because behind him, Cao Chunzheng was riding a tall horse and kept waving his whip at him.
The two sides are obviously in the same camp, but they are hiding from each other while being chased by the other side. This scene is really heartbreaking to watch.
Of course, only the guards stationed in Wuhuan City felt this way.
Seeing this scene, an anxious city guard couldn't help but said: "General, you see, there must be a rebellion in the army outside the city. If we don't send troops, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers!"
"
"You don't need to say this? I know this. Everyone, please come with me on the expedition. At the very least, you must bring those two generals back!"
"promise!"
Although there are white knights waiting for him below, but whether they are sincere or not, they can't really watch the fire from the other side and sit idly by.
After all, the two generals in that mountain forest were both descendants of the Cao family.
At present, Cao Wei has long become a principality with Yecheng as its capital. If they refuse to save their clan generals, they will probably be severely punished in the future, and even lose their lives. It is not impossible, and even worse.
, maybe it will also involve family members.
Therefore, everyone had no choice but to rush forward even if they risked being slaughtered by Bai Qi.
"The shield soldiers quickly stepped forward to resist the white cavalry. The others followed me to rescue the general. Brothers, charge!"
As soon as the young city guard finished speaking, he was shot through the armor by several sudden cold arrows, and blood spattered everywhere.
To be continued...
