Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 378 Killing Yang Hong, Yuan Shu breaks through

Yuan Shu looked at the army pressing down from three sides and was so angry that he vomited blood.

"Little Lu Bu, you misunderstood me!"

As Yuan Shu spoke, he looked at Yang Hong resentfully.

At this time, Yang Hong was also embarrassed. He did not expect that this guy Lu Bu could treat his promise as fart.

People at this time are all about commitment, and they will not go back on something they have promised.

Of course, that doesn’t mean everyone keeps their promise.

At least Lu Bu didn't pay attention to it, it was just a sentence. I agreed at the time. I agreed at the time. If I feel that something is wrong afterwards, then I will regret it. There is nothing that can't be beaten. Anyway, my reputation is already stinky. It's just a broken jar!
As for those people who have no lower limit for what they do... they are all Cao Ang's subordinates. It's good to have him in charge.

……

Yang Hong knew that Yuan Shu's situation was over at this time, and Shouchun City would definitely not be able to defend it.

So Yang Hong suggested: "Lord, in addition to the soldiers guarding the city, we still have a thousand forbidden troops, all of whom are carefully selected from the army. With their protection, we can definitely break through the siege!"

"Let's abandon Shouchun City and go south to gather our old troops. Of the six counties in Yangzhou, we have only lost two. We still have a chance!"

After some persuasion from Yang Hong, Yuan Shu came to his senses.

If you don't run now, when Cao Jun breaks the city, you won't be able to escape even if you want to.

"Okay, then I will listen to you and summon the Forbidden Army. Let's rush out of the city together and go south to gather the old troops!" Yuan Shu had a simple mind and no foresight.

Although such people can't accomplish anything big, there is one advantage: they have soft ears and listen to advice!

After a little persuasion from Yang Hong, Yuan Shu immediately stood up, summoned the imperial army, and prepared to rush out of the city.

Before leaving, Yuan Shu looked at his magnificent palace and couldn't help but said fiercely: "The palace I have put so much effort into building must not be taken advantage of by that boy Cao Ang. Someone comes and sets fire to the palace!"

Following Yuan Shu's order, the Imperial Guards held torches and lit the prepared flammable items.

The fire soon spread throughout the palace.

Yuan Shu took one look at the fire, sighed helplessly, and then ordered: "Let's go, Cao Ang has sent generals to surround the north, east, and west gates. Only the south gate has few soldiers. Let's break out from the south gate."

Following Yuan Shu's order, a thousand forbidden troops rode towards the south gate in a mighty manner.

The Imperial Guards also knew that they were accompanying their Majesty to escape for their lives, so they did not waste a moment.

Cao Ang, who was outside the north gate, looked at the black smoke rising from the city. Even without using the shared vision, he could realize that Yuan Shu was about to run away.

However, Yuan Shu thought that Cao Ang did not send anyone to the south gate of Shouchun, but in fact, Cao Ang sent many people to the south gate.

For example, general Le Jin, Cao Chun and a group of tiger and leopard riders.

Cao Chun took the tiger and leopard cavalry and hid in the woods. However, there were not many woods at the south gate of Shouchun, so Cao Chun only brought two hundred cavalry.

Le Jin took five hundred infantry and hid in the mountains.

After all, when it comes to ambush alone, infantry is much easier to use than cavalry. After all, it is easier to hide.

The reason why Cao Chun came with the tiger and leopard cavalry was also very simple.

Cao Ang had long expected that Yuan Shu would definitely try his best to escape when his army was approaching.

If the ambush was set and Yuan Shu was not stopped immediately, then infantry alone would definitely not be able to catch up, so cavalry would also be needed.However, Cao Ang did not expect that Yuan Shu had spent a lot of money on training these thousand forbidden troops.

Everyone is equipped with high-quality Xiliang war horses. Although they are not as good as Chitu's Lu and other famous horses, there is still no problem in traveling seven to eight hundred miles a day.

After Yuan Shu led his men out of Shouchun City, they immediately rushed into Le Jin's encirclement.

Le Jin gave an order: "All the soldiers in the army, capture the rebel Yuan Shu alive!"

Yuan Shu was startled by the shout: "Ah! Someone, come to the rescue!"

When Yang Hong saw this, he also shouted: "Protect Your Majesty!"

Later, Yang Hong saw Le Jin leading the troops. These soldiers were all infantry, and only Le Jin was riding a horse, so he knew that as long as he stopped Le Jin, Yuan Shu could escape.

The opponent's thoughts must be on Yuan Shu. As long as Yuan Shu runs away, he will have a chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Yang Hong yelled: "You protect His Majesty's retreat, and I will stop the enemy general!"

After Yang Hong finished speaking, he rushed towards Le Jin with his spear.

Although Yang Hong held the official position of Changshi in Yuan Shu's case, he was a Confucian general and also had martial arts skills.

In addition, Le Jin's reputation with Cao Ang is not very good, so Yang Hong is not very afraid of him.

Le Jin looked at Yang Hong who rushed up and smiled disdainfully. His martial arts was not the most powerful in Cao Ying, but it was not something that you, a Confucian general, could match.

In addition, after Le Jin, there was Cao Chun behind him, so he didn't panic.

"The thief will look at the sword!" Le Jin rushed forward to meet Yang Hong. His sword skills were wide open and closed, and Yang Hong was unable to fight back.

Yuan Shu took advantage of this opportunity and rushed out surrounded by a group of forbidden troops.

Cao Chun saw Yuan Shu coming from a distance, so he directly signaled to the tiger and leopard cavalry to prepare for the ambush.

As soon as Yuan Shu approached, Cao Chun rushed out with his men, hoping to capture him.

But he only brought [-] cavalry, and they were still in ambush, unable to charge forward at all.

Yuan Shu was ambushed by Le Jin just now, and now he is still followed by six or seven hundred riders.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Chun were all heavy cavalry, and everyone was wearing heavy armor. Even if they did not charge, they would kill one of the forbidden troops led by Yuan Shu.

But after all, Yuan Shu spent a lot of money to train these forbidden troops, and most of them were very loyal. They tried their best to stop Cao Chun and give Yuan Shu a chance to escape.

When Cao Chun killed the forbidden troops in front of him and wanted to pursue Yuan Shu, he found that the opponent had already run away.

In addition, Yuan Shu's cavalry were all light cavalry, while the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun were heavy cavalry, so naturally there was no way to compare in terms of speed.

"This damn Yuan Shu actually equips the Forbidden Army with such good war horses?"

Helpless, Cao Chun could only complain, then began to clean the battlefield, and took people back to find Cao Ang. Fortunately, the 200 people separated from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did not suffer any losses, otherwise Cao Chun himself would not be able to let him go.

On Le Jin's side, after fighting Yang Hong for more than thirty rounds, he killed the opponent with one blow.

Those imperial troops who stayed to resist the Cao family naturally lost their combat effectiveness when they saw that Yang Hong was dead, and they all surrendered.
