Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 155
Xi Zhong ran to the bottom of the city, wanting to remind Cao Cao, but when Xi Zhong ran to the bottom of the city out of breath, he saw the scene in front of him and shouted: "Hurry up and save the Lord!" on the ground.

At this time, more than [-] Cao soldiers had rushed in, and thousands of them had rushed in. Cao Cao also rushed into the city excitedly under the protection of his personal guards!Just when Cao Cao was wondering why Tian didn't come to greet him, a large number of archers suddenly appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street, and the first general was Hao Meng, who had been promoted to captain!
Hao Meng had already ambushed a thousand archers and a thousand miscellaneous soldiers on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the avenue.

"Cum for me!!" Hao Meng shouted.

As the sound fell, the sound of the bowstring kept ringing, whoosh! !Countless arrows suddenly attacked the unsuspecting Cao Bing!Hundreds of Cao soldiers immediately fell down in response, and the rest were shocked. Those who had shields hurriedly raised their shields to defend, but those without shields would be miserable.

But the gates of those dwellings were tightly sealed from the inside, and it was impossible to break open for a while.

In this panic, Cao Bing was shot and killed hundreds by a wave of arrows.

Cao Cao couldn't care less at this time, his life was the most important thing, and he retreated again and again, but at this time his retreat was blocked by his chaotic soldiers.

"My lord, you retreat first, and we will stop here!!!" Dian Wei and Cao Hong, two generals desperately protecting them, said loudly.

Without waiting for Cao Cao's reply, Cao Cao's soldiers turned their horses and retreated with Cao Cao's horse between them.

Hao Meng saw clearly from the roof, and had already recognized Cao Cao hiding under the shield. He was overjoyed. For this ambush, Cao Xing prepared not only bows and arrows, but also another weapon.

"Cao Cao!! You are doomed today!!" Hao Meng laughed loudly, then pointed at Cao Cao's position, and shouted loudly: "The horse rider is Cao Cao!! All the handymen obeyed the order and threw fire oil cans at Cao Cao! Burn Cao Cao to death!!"

Nearly a thousand miscellaneous soldiers came out in response, one of them held the pot, the other lit the fire, and immediately after lighting it, they shouted in unison: "Kill!" Then they threw the clay pot full of oil and flaming towards Cao Cao's direction !

The kerosene cans will shatter when they fall to the ground, and the oil in the tank will catch fire. One or two kerosene cans are not very lethal, but five hundred kerosene cans are thrown at the same time, and the sound is extremely terrifying. When the pots fell, there was a constant bang and bang sound. After the pots were broken, the flame exploded violently, and each pot would quickly ignite a large area!Cao Bing's feet have become a sea of ​​flames! !Even those who were splashed with fire oil were even more tragic. With a sound of fire power, they could jump onto their bodies and become a burning man!
These Cao soldiers who knew they were going to die couldn't bear the pain of being burned to death. At this time, they even began to hope that they could be shot to death with an arrow! !

Some of Cao Bing, who were in extreme pain, were so insane that they even waved their weapons and attacked each other!They were looking for death, and any other way of dying was something they could not have dreamed of compared to being burned to death.

A shield can protect against bows and arrows above the head, but it cannot prevent fire from below.

Cao Cao was originally riding a horse, and together with the shield guards of his own soldiers, he blocked a lot of fire oil cans, but many of them fell under the horse and burned up. jumped up.

"Quickly retreat!! Quickly retreat!!" Cao Cao was terrified, and desperately pulled the horse back, shouting in horror.

"Hurry up and save my lord!!" The three generals Xiahoudun, Le Jin, and Zhu Ling who rushed to the front were shocked when they saw this, and they didn't care to charge forward. They immediately led dozens of cavalry, turned their heads, and didn't care about struggling in the flames As well as the infantry under the rain of arrows, they stepped on the infantry directly on their horses.

Le Jin still had a bit of sympathy, and shouted loudly while rushing: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!"

Not long after, the generals finally rushed to Cao Cao's side, rescued Cao Cao, beat their horses desperately, and rushed towards the city gate. Although the archers on the roof kept shooting arrows, Cao Cao and the generals were all covered with thick armor. Bows and arrows can't penetrate at all, unless they can hit the front gate, so Cao Cao led dozens of horsemen and rode all the way through, forcing a bloody path for him, and rushed under the city gate.

But the scene in front of him made Cao Cao terrified!The inside and outside of the city gate have already been surrounded by fire, and the fire is more violent than the streets in the city! !Not to mention rushing over, Cao Cao was still a few feet away from the city gate, and Cao Cao felt his face ache from being scorched by the fire.

This city gate is also a dead end! !Can't get through at all.

There is no way out before, and there is a chase after!Some Cao soldiers were shot to death by arrows, some were burned to death by fire, and some were trampled to death by their own horses. Some wounded and still alive were screaming, and the air was filled with bursts of shock. The smell of barbecue.

Of the thousands of Cao soldiers who rushed into the city, less than a thousand were still alive. Even if there were less than a thousand cavalry, Hao Meng did not intend to let them go.

"Shoot!! Those who shoot Cao Cao will be rewarded with a hundred gold and promoted to three ranks!!" Hao Meng shouted loudly.

"Kill!!" Hao Meng's archers worked even harder, chasing after the roof, hanging the retreating Cao soldiers from a distance and shooting non-stop. Each archer had twenty arrows. Each arrow can kill one Cao soldier, so if a thousand archers shoot all the arrows, they can theoretically kill [-] enemy soldiers! !
At this time, each of Hao Meng's archers shot less than ten arrows, and the remaining arrows were enough to destroy hundreds of Cao soldiers!If you still can't kill all the Cao soldiers, Hao Meng still has a thousand servants under his command. You only need to order another thousand servants to surround the general after the arrows are shot, and you are not afraid that Cao Cao will not die! !

Outside Puyang City, Cao soldiers outside the south gate saw that the city gate was on fire. The soldiers had to retreat outside the moat.

"Cao Cao is dead! Surrender quickly!!" Lu Bujun on the top of the wall shouted loudly from time to time.

Cao Bing's morale plummeted, and he no longer wanted to fight.

"Don't fall into the tricks of the enemy!! The lord is still in the city!! We should rush into the city to save the lord!!" At this time, Xi Zhong had woken up, blood was still on the corner of his mouth, and he yelled when he saw this.

"The city gate is on fire, you can't get in!" said a leading general.

Xi Zhong glanced at the moat, and said loudly: "Quickly take the water from the moat and put out the fire at the city gate!! If the lord can't be rescued, we will die too!!"

"How can I get water without tools? If I go back to the camp to get tools, how can I get there in time?" the general asked again.

"You can take off your helmet, fill it with water to put out the fire, as long as you rescue the lord! You will be considered a great contribution to the world!" Xi Zhong said.

The Cao soldiers who were at a loss suddenly woke up, shouted loudly, and rushed to the river to fetch water. The soldiers without tools also started to attack the city led by the generals, in an attempt to disperse the attack power of the defenders at the top of the city. So that Cao Bing who fetched water can put out the fire with peace of mind.

Although the fire was fierce, there was no other flammable things besides oil near the city gate. After a while, with the efforts of countless Cao soldiers, the fire near the city gate was finally extinguished.

"My lord!!" Xi Zhong rushed into the city gate first, regardless of the danger, shouting loudly.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was huddled near the city gate, saw Xi Zhong coming to rescue him, and said in great compassion, "Zhicai!! I'm also a treacherous scheme by Lu Bu!"

Cao Cao originally had more than a thousand soldiers rushing to the city gate, but now there are only more than [-] remnants. Each of these [-] remnants holds a big shield and forms a shield wall. ! !

"My lord, don't worry, there are nearly ten thousand of our troops outside the city gate!" Xi Zhong said.

"That's great! I'll bring in another 1 troops, and if I don't destroy Puyang, and don't avenge this, I swear I won't give up!!" When Cao Cao heard that there were still [-] soldiers outside the south gate, his confidence suddenly rose. , and apart from these more than [-] soldiers, each of the other sects should have thousands of soldiers each, and Cao Cao still has the advantage in terms of force!The most important thing is that the South City Gate has been breached at this time! !
"My lord, I'm afraid that Lu Bu has other tricks! My lord, you should return to the camp first, and let General Xiahou lead the army to attack here!" Xi Zhong persuaded.
