Grassroots Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 45 Cao Mengde led the army to sneak back

For a moment, the sound of horses' hoofs in the secret passage rumbled like thunder. In the galloping, Ma Yunqi told Taishici that he had seen mysterious troops in the valley near the north exit of the secret road city.

Hearing this news, Tai Shici can also "know the autumn with one leaf" and get a glimpse of the whole leopard. He said to Ma Yunqi without thinking, "Yun'er, the lurking army is probably Yuan Shao's army!"

Previously, tens of thousands of soldiers damaged by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were replenished overnight, which showed that Yuan Shao deployed major troops in the secret place. The valley that Ma Yunqi inadvertently saw was just one of these secret places.

"Oh, is that right?" Ma Yunqi felt that Tai Shici's judgment was very reasonable. She said with a little dissatisfaction, "Yuan Shao is also a stingy. Why don't he concentrate the army? Instead, he hides heavy soldiers. Yuan Shao really regards the siege of the city as a child's play..."

The person who spoke was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Ma Yunqi's complaint aroused Tai Shici's thinking: Yes, Yuan Shao, who has always been so happy and pays attention to the appearance, how can he be willing to hide the heavy soldiers? According to Yuan Shao's temperament, he didn't take out all his family's property and show off in front of other princes? ... Conspiracy, there must be an unspeakable conspiracy here!

Tai Shici felt that his thoughts slowly touched the truth of the matter and the real context behind the so-called King Qin's rebellion... Therefore, in the actual participation, Tai Shici's mind is about to be greatly improved and is about to enter a higher level of maturity!

The biggest reason why Tai Shici chose the secret road to the east of the city is to find his own mount Wanlisha. Tai Shici and Ma Yunqi led the cavalry to leave the exit of the secret road. At the moment they rushed out of the exit of the secret road, Tai Shici and others felt very happy: although the secret road was quiet, it was too depressing! In a dense forest, Tai Shici ordered the cavalry to stay here, and then he rode a red jujube horse with Ma Yunqi and went straight to the Union camp in the east of the city.

At this time, it was already evening. Tai Shici and Ma Yunqi came to the allied camp, but found that the camp was dark and peaceful, and only the camp with captive horses had a faint light. Looking at the towering Chang'an city wall from afar, Tai Shici and Ma Yunqi felt even more strange: there was darkness on the wall, and there was no general; some areas deep in the city were brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of fighting...

Where did Cao Cao's army go? Did they all run into the city to fight with the Xiliang Legion? According to Cao Cao's military quality, why do we have to divide the troops to guard the gate? You have to give yourself some way out, right? ...Tai Shici didn't understand how Cao Cao commanded the army.

Tai Shici felt strange and puzzled about the where of Cao Cao's army. Tai Shici resisted his doubts and blew a loud whistle at the war horse camp from afar, and then there was an emotional horse hiss in the war horse camp.

At this time, the night wind was cold, but Taishici felt a burst of warmth. Although he was only one day apart from the mount, the man and the horse were full of missing. A soft sound of horses' hoofs was getting closer and closer with the night wind. Finally, the handsome Wanlisha appeared in Taishici's sight.

Wan Lisha rushed to Tai Shici's side and kept talking to Tai Shici's cheek. And Tai Shici was also emotionally reaching out and touching the horse's face of Wanlisha. After the emotional exchange between the man and the horse, Tai Shici hung the thunder and lightning axe in his hand on the weapon in front of the saddle, then turned over the horse and drove away from the coalition camp side by side with Ma Yun.

The figures of the two are hidden in the night, and only the sound of horses' hoofs is clear and loud in the cold wind ^......

Tai Shici and Ma Yunqi met the cavalry and took a shortcut and went straight to the coalition camp in the north of the city. Along the way, Tai Shici and Ma Yunqi, who were sensitive, suddenly felt some strangeness in front of them. The two looked at each other and paused the reins slightly to slow down the speed of speed.

The cavalry behind them was excellent in riding. When they saw their movements, they also tacitly slowed down the speed of the horses and maintained the same speed as the two. When the two came to a low hill, in a low-lying place, they found a pile of corpses. Taishi Ci disarmed to explore the pile of corpses. Through the military logo on the helmet worn by the corpses, Tai Shici judged that these soldiers belonged to Cao Cao.

According to the temperature of the body, Tai Shici judged that these soldiers died less than half an hour. When Tai Shici came out to tell Ma Yunqi about his discovery, suddenly, the pile of bodies squirmed slightly. Tai Shici swallowed the words back into his stomach and reached out to open the pile of corpses.

The "corpse" dressed up by a lieutenant seems to be a fraudulent corpse, struggling hard. Tai Shici gently moved it to one side. The seriously injured captain tried his best to open his eyes, but he couldn't. He opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make a sound as he wished.

"Brother, what do you want to do?" Tai Shici asked softly.

Lieutenant Cao raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the hem of his armor. Then, after a burst of rapid breathing, the lieutenant tilted his head and was killed.

Tai Shi Ci followed the instructions of the dead lieutenant and searched the lieutenant's clothes. In the mezzanine of the armor, Tai Shici found a secret letter. Tai Shici opened the superstition and found a few lines of short sentences: Jihou, we have quietly retreated, hoping that Jihou will judge the situation and leave the place of right and wrong safely and smoothly... Cao Mengde sobbed goodbye.

After reading the secret letter, Tai Shici suddenly realized that Cao Cao had led the army to retreat quietly! The city of Chang'an was broken by the allied forces. Li Yu and Guo Yu, the leader of the Xiliang Legion, had been assassinated by himself. The leaderless Xiliang Legion had become a turtle in the urn. At the critical moment, why did Cao Cao's side take the initiative to retreat? The Xiliang Legion has been defeated. The city was broken by the allied forces and surrounded on all sides. What is the danger? ...Who blocked the messenger sent by Cao Cao?

Tai Shici handed the secret letter to Ma Yunqi. Ma Yunqi read the secret letter carefully and fell into meditation. Tai Shici, who is free and easy by nature, treats it with a smile in the face of difficulties and confusion.

"Ha ha, Yun'er, let's go to see Cicada. I think Cicada will see through these doubts..." Tai Shici said to Ma Yunqi with a smile.

Ma Yunqi nodded slightly to Tai Shici, and his expression changed from meditation to calm. The beauty is as calm as water. When the bright eyes are favored, all kinds of amorous feelings are shining, making the night shine brightly.

In the face of the existence of a goddess, Tai Shici lost his mind for a while. After Ma Yunqi covered his mouth and laughed, Taishi Cicai woke up from his beautiful imagination. With an embarrassed smile, he turned on his horse and led his cavalry to continue to gallop north of the city.

Tai Shici and his party walked in loneliness and walked through the night, while the ancient Chang'an City was extremely bright and lively in the night.

At this time, the east, north and west of Chang'an City have been fully controlled by the allied forces, but the south of the city is under Lv Bu's control, and there is a tragic world: Lv Bu's own wantonly indulgence, and his iron cavalry under his command are completely burned, killed and looted...

It can be said that Lv Bu's side easily broke through the wall in the south of the city without losing a soldier. In the early morning, Chunyu Qiong, a general under Yuan Shao, went to Lv Bu's Chinese military camp as usual and once again urged Lv Bu to command the army to attack the city.

Every time Lv Bu saw Chun Yuqiong, he felt uncomfortable. For the siege of the east and north of the city in the first two days, Lv Bu also knows it well through the Allied war reports.

Lv Bu was impressed by the excellent performance of Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao in the siege. He felt that the city in the east of the city was about to be broken by Cao Cao. Lv Bu was also sincerely happy about the defeat of the Yuan brothers in the siege. Everyone can't avoid gloating, and so can Lv Bu.

Lv Bu and four geisha were happy while listening to Chun Yuqiong's nagging. After Chunyu Qiong expressed his suggestion, Lv Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "General Chunyu Qiong, since your desire and enthusiasm for attacking the city is so high, I will satisfy your wishes today! General Chunyu Qiong, go and prepare the siege equipment quickly!"

When Chun Yuqiong heard that Lv Bu agreed to attack the city, his face turned cold, and he wondered: Why did Lv Bu agree to attack the city again today? ... Chun Yuqiong's reaction also showed that he did not sincerely ask for siege. Once a day, he urged Lv Bu to attack the city, which was just a test for Lv Bu. Now at this time, Lv Bu simply agreed to his request, but he regretted it a little.

However, he couldn't refuse Lv Bu's order. He bravely went to prepare the equipment for the siege. An hour later, Lv Bu led 10,000 iron cavalry and stood quietly in front of the suspension bridge of the moat with a long snake array of "1". Chunyu Qiong commanded the 30,000-winged state army to set up a position to attack the city and was ready to go.

Dong Cheng and Yang Ding, the generals of the Xiliang Legion guarding the city, also stood on the gate tower surrounded by bodyguards, while the Xiliang soldiers were in a state of war, waiting for the enemy's attack.

In the face of the enemy's stone-throwing machine and secret weapon bed crossbow, Chunyu Qiong did not launch an attack. In the face of Chunyuqiong's cowardice, Lv Bu did not hide his contempt. After he roared, the war drum camp used his strength to beat the drum.

After the earth-shaking sound of war drums, Lv Bu led a battalion of 2,000 iron cavalry to launch an attack. Facing the stones thrown by the stone thrower of the enemy defending the city, Lv Bu simply waved the square halberd to smash them one by one.

In the face of the arrows shot by the dense crossbow, Lv Bu also hit it with a magic weapon, and the iron cavalry behind him blocked the powerful arrows with a shield.

The iron cavalry are good at charging and falling into battle. They rely on thick and solid armor. They are all wrapped in iron armor, leaving only a pair of eyes.

Lv Bu led the team to more than 200 meters away from the city wall, and then attacked Dong Cheng and Yang Ding on the city wall with arrows. In the face of Lv Bu's bravery, Dong Cheng and Yang Ding could only quickly hide behind the arrow pile regardless of their faces.

Lv Bu had a contemptuous smile on his face. He kept a parallel distance from the city wall and ran back and forth, killing the Xiliang soldiers who controlled the stone throwing machine and the bed crossbow with arrows in the running.

Under Lv Bu's strong suppression, 2,000 iron cavalry also took the opportunity to rush to 200 meters below the city wall and shoot the enemy on the wall with arrows.

Chunyu Qiong saw that Lv Bu participated in the siege in person. He could only gritt his teeth and command the Yizhou army to charge. In this way, he dug a trap and finally buried himself... The wolf was not trapped, and the thin and tender child was eaten by the wolf. Chunyuqiong's mood at this time was.
