6. The fish dies and the net breaks

Cao Cao felt that he had never hated Yuan Shu as much as he does now.∈↗,

It is not that Cao Cao has not thought about the possibility that Yuan Shu could fight back desperately in a desperate situation. In fact, if Yuan Shu was young, it would not be surprising to use any drastic means, assassination, using time, false surrender... these methods have all been thought of by Cao Cao.

.

But everything he saw before him told him that Yuan Shu was obviously more unruly than he thought.

Of course, to put it another way, Yuan Shu is more ruthless than he imagined.

Yes, it was cruel, so cruel that it made Cao Cao's hair stand on end. Even Dong Zhuo pales in comparison to Yuan Shu.

"Lord, there are fires everywhere and there is no way forward at all!"

Xia Houjie, who had just made a majestic and majestic achievement, had now turned into a different look - his face was black and red, and his originally thick beard had become sparse, and his cheeks and neck had become sparse.

There are even traces of fire everywhere.

The rest, such as the skewed helmet and disheveled armor, are much better than the surrounding situation.

The soldiers scattered around were no better, and even the number of soldiers seemed unsettling.

Except for the troops originally led by Cao Xiu and Xu Ding, who were still fighting for control of the west gate, Cao Cao was supposed to have at least nearly 4,000 elite troops around him, but now there are only more than 500 troops surrounding him.

Except for Cao Cao's personal guard general Xia Houjie, there were no more soldiers belonging to Cao Cao.

For such a result, even Cao Cao was quite helpless. It was not that he did not want to gather more troops, but the endless fire that could be seen in front of him, and the Yuan Shujun soldiers who disappeared in the fire, made Cao Cao feel extremely

Headache.

And what would happen to the soldiers who were separated from Cao Cao? Cao Cao couldn't help pinching his own acupuncture points.

Those are all the elites of Cao Cao's army!

The situation in front of him suddenly reminded Cao Cao of the failure he encountered when chasing Dong Zhuo.

It's just that compared with that time, Yuan Shujun did not have the despairingly powerful Wang Yue in charge, but the fire was more sinister than what Dong Zhuo did in Luoyang - when Dong Zhuo set the fire in Luoyang, after all

Most of the people and wealth in Luoyang were taken away, leaving only a desolate area for the coalition forces at that time.

The scorched earth. In order to put Cao Cao into the urn, Yuan Shu didn't care at all about the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in Shouchun City. Walking in the blazing fire, Cao Cao could hear shouts from both sides from time to time.

The shrill and desperate sounds were obviously from the people of Shouchun who had no time to escape from the fire.

It's a pity that Cao Cao is now crossing the river like a clay Buddha - he can't save himself, so how can he have the energy to save others?

In the end, I could only calm down, ignore the hell-like wails from all around, and move on.

It is a pity that even if Cao Cao can really be ruthless, even if the soldiers of Cao Cao's army can ignore the wailing like ghosts around them in order to survive, but for the people of Shouchun, Yuan Shu, the prince who rules Shouchun, is

He should go to hell and suffer the punishment of never being able to recover, but Cao Cao who came to invade was also not a likable existence.

It can even be said that without Cao Cao's army's strategy, they would not have encountered such a tragedy.

For these ordinary people, they don't care whether Cao Cao has the royal mandate or how many righteous reasons he has.

The only thing they want to do is to take revenge on the enemies who broke their peaceful life!

There are "firemen" constantly rushing out of the sea of ​​​​fire, hugging the bodies of Cao Cao's soldiers. They will not let go no matter what. Although there are also super "enthusiastic" hugs from women with "good" figures, but in the

In this case, I believe no one would be in the mood to experience the uneven feeling. Of course, the prerequisite is that they can ignore the smell of barbecue coming from the body.

However, occasionally there would be "burning men" to protect the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army who came out of nowhere, but it seemed that there were not many such cases. The people of Shouchun still focused their main targets on Cao Cao's army.

This situation finally attracted Cao Cao's attention, even though he was already overwhelmed by Yuan Shu's troops who were constantly appearing and disappearing, and the soldiers around him had once again disappeared from the scale of five to six hundred, leaving more than half of them with only just over two hundred left.

"These Yuan Shujun soldiers are weird!"

Cao Cao could only chew these words slowly in his mouth but could not say them out.

Now the entire team is completely supported by a spirit, and the core pillar of this spirit is Cao Cao's unwavering attitude as the coach. If Cao Cao himself had doubts about the future

, then after a domino effect, Cao Cao will probably become a lonely man in the sea of ​​​​fire and finally turn into a pile of wild dark dishes that are difficult to identify.

However, once some ideas are generated, it is no longer easy to suppress them.

What's more, Cao Cao's speculation is very doubtful, even if they are in a sea of ​​​​fire and are still running for their lives.

Because the things happening in front of me are really too strange.

Think about these caged rats who were chased by Yuan Shujun and were almost trapped in the sky with nowhere to go. Each of them can be said to be in a state of embarrassment, but what about the soldiers of Yuan Shujun?

Although the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army could calmly round up Cao Cao, it seemed that there was nothing special about these soldiers of Yuan Shu's army who besieged them in an orderly manner. They looked very ordinary, but Cao Cao knew very well that this area, and even the entire west

And the south and maybe the north and the east are kindled by bears

Xiong Lieyan, it is not impossible to even say that the entire Shouchun City fell into a sea of ​​fire. Since Yuan Shu, who has fallen into madness, dares to light a fire in a large area regardless of the life and death of the people, then he has enough possibilities to burn the entire Shouchun City.

Chuncheng was thrown into the sea of ​​fire, and Cao Cao's soldiers were buried with him for his ambition.

Not to mention that Yuan Shu has escaped, so there is no burden.

In this way, although Cao Cao's army was being pursued, in fact the terrain here was not much different between him and Yuan Shu's army. They were both blazing fires.

But in such an environment, Yuan Shujun's soldiers were neatly dressed and walked firmly, and even their faces had nothing to note except a bit of madness. Such ordinaryness turned into something very unusual in this environment.

ordinary!

Even calling it weird is not an exaggeration.

The strange Yuan Shu's army, the strange fire, and the strange people almost directed all their anger towards Cao Cao's army and the Shouchun people.

This can be said to be the most bizarre battle Cao Cao fought since he joined the army.

Well, because of the huge waves caused by Li Shushi's little butterfly, although Cao Cao still lost many battles, and even lost some battles more miserably. Xiahou Dun even became a "one-eyed general" ahead of schedule, but he still lost

Cao Cao escaped the most critical fire. Not to mention Xiaoqiang, even if Chen Gong was given more courage, he would not dare to burn Puyang City with the emperor around.

It is precisely for this reason that Cao Cao lacks enough experience in street fighting in a sea of ​​fire - maybe the battle with the eunuch in Luoyang City can barely be regarded as an experience, but no one can know how much the eunuch's combat effectiveness is.

I dare not say that even if there are eunuchs like Jian Shuo who can be called strong men, and even Luanba, a great man who can regain his life and leave blood descendants after being castrated with Taoism, but you can't do it like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

Let’s hope they can be more powerful.

It's not a lawn mowing game. Even a sick ghost or a weak woman has a terrifying fighting ability that is far superior to the public. Or because of the difficulty, beings like Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang are not strong enough to be poked by the soldiers.

All in all, due to various reasons, Cao Cao seemed to be in quite a predicament, but he didn't have many good solutions. He could only rush south according to his previous idea. However, the surrounding sea of ​​fire and endless enemy soldiers had already disturbed his eyes.

Cao Cao's sense of direction, even though Cao Cao was still convinced that he was breaking out to the south. But in fact, he was just flying around without a head.

Cao Cao's situation inside the city seemed a little bad, but the situation outside the city seemed to have changed a lot.

"oh!"

As everyone cheered loudly, you can imagine their excitement at this moment.

Although the efficiency of extinguishing the fire and suppressing the enemy troops on the tower was not very high, it was also very difficult to face the logs that seemed to be about one and a half to two feet in diameter and the rolling stones mixed in from time to time.

, even Li Dian had to go into battle in person to collide with the obstacles with the soldiers. However, the result was still satisfactory. At least Cao Cao's army had opened a passage wide enough for two people, allowing the leading troops to enter quickly, and the follow-up troops to

It was also much easier when cleaning up the gaps.

"Wen Lie, how is my lord!"

Li Dian rushed into the city and immediately found Cao Xing, who was running down from the city tower with blood on his face, and asked about the situation.

"We have just attacked the city tower. We only saw that the lord has rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire, but it seems that he should break out towards the south gate, but I am not sure, the fire is too big, it is impossible to tell whether the situation has reached

To what extent."

"Then stop talking nonsense and follow me to find the master!"

"No problem, but be careful. There seems to be something wrong with the Yuan Shujun soldiers in the city."

Because Cao Xiu looked very hesitant, Li Dian didn't think much about it. However, it took so long for Cao Xiu and Xu Ding to clear out all the elite soldiers. Yuan Shu's soldiers were indeed very difficult to deal with.

of.

If all the soldiers in Yuan Shu's army had such abilities, it would be impossible for Cao Cao to win the previous battles. It is even more impossible for Li Shushi to sweep Chen County with a group of civilian militia and a group of rats.

However, even so, in Li Dian's opinion, it was just a unit specially used by Yuan Shu's army to ambush them. It was naturally the most elite part of Yuan Shu's army. Obviously, it was impossible for every Yuan Shu's army remaining in the city to be like this.

After gathering Cao Xing and Xu Ding's troops, Li Dian led his men into the sea of ​​fire without taking any fire prevention measures.

For him, the most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of Cao Cao. As for matters outside the city, he can rest assured with Cao Ren.

"Brother, no, that thing is too powerful!"

But compared to the relatively smooth progress of the west gate, the east gate seems a bit depressing.

When they saw the flames soaring into the city, both Liu Bei and Pan Gong thought that Cao Cao's army should have succeeded, so they planned to lead their troops to attack. The attack of the Yuzhou soldiers led by Liu Bei indeed made Yuan Shu a little anxious because his home behind him was on fire at the top of the city.

The army seemed to be shaky, and even with Zhang Fei's lead, they almost climbed to the top of the city.

If there are no special circumstances causing trouble.

But this "special situation" happened. And the timing of it was also very clever - just when Mr. Zhang was about to shout and jump on the city wall to let the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army know the reputation of Mr. Zhang in Zhuo County, take a look

Can I get the prestige +250 "Stop Children's Night Crying" achievement? But I don't know which master thinks it's wrong for Mr. San to abuse food like this.

, so a "flying fire meteor" flew from the sky, impartially, and flew over the head of the third master. It hit the ladder at the feet of the third master. The result is self-evident. The poor ladder was naturally

Unable to withstand such an impact and the subsequent burning of the hot liquid metal attached to the stone bullets, coupled with the weight of Mr. Zhang, who is a burly man after all, the result...

"Why am I the one who gets hurt..."

Although hiding under the wall and drawing circles is really detrimental to the image of Mr. San, it is also really unlucky.

In fact, as a treasure that has been gathering dust for a long time, it is obviously impossible for Yuan Shujun to use the golden cupping cannon as well as Li Shushi, who after many years of training has mastered the power and ballistics to perfection. In other words, he was able to use a stone just now.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a stroke of luck to knock down the Third Master, the biggest threat to the city wall, in one go - in fact, the golden cupping cannon failed to achieve very good results after firing several times, and it even flew into friendly forces twice.

on the head.

Even if the damage of the golden cupping cannon itself can be ignored due to the tiger talisman and talisman, the damage caused by the high-temperature liquid metal is still extremely considerable - can anyone still remain normal under the bombardment of this thing?

Well, for a certain Li Shushi who is really Xiaoqiang, it is not difficult to do this.

It can even be said that as long as the wet nurses nurse well and the HP does not return to zero, there will basically be no "unforgettable memories" left.

Of course, it’s unclear whether the feeling of approaching high temperatures will turn into a nightmare.

As a result, the battle situation at the east gate became a stalemate.

Because Liu Beijun didn't have a lot of materials around him, he could only fill in a few limited passages to facilitate his soldiers to pass through the moat. The remaining soldiers found that the golden cupping cannon was ineffective in bombarding the soldiers under the city and instead bombarded the moat.

The archers of Liu Bei's army on the side were severely damaged, so that Liu Bei's long-range support attack almost came to a standstill.

Although Yuan Shu's army suppressed the enemy's long-range strike force, the raging fire in the city behind them made the soldiers' fighting spirit not very high. Barely resisting Liu Bei's attack was the limit of Yuan Shu's city-defending generals.

Even if the law enforcement team's bright law enforcement swords hadn't shown their power in time, the city head position might have been lost long before the golden cupping cannon arrived from the west of the city to the east.

Of course, there is another battlefield outside the city. There, after repelling Xiahou Yuan's entangled cavalry, they prepared to attack the 10,000-strong army that Cao Hong had brought from the camp. The total force exceeded 30,000 and was commanded by Cao Ren.

Cao Cao's army.

Generally speaking, this battlefield should be the place with the least suspense. However, considering that Yuan Shu has really burned his boat for today. Perhaps, like Cao Cao in Shouchun City, he has also prepared something for Cao Ren.

"Big gift"?

With the previous lessons learned, Cao Cao's army was obviously much more cautious this time.

In general, although some people are struggling in the outside world, the vastness of the wilderness and the initiative of the attacking party give them more room to choose whether to advance or retreat. Unless the situation becomes extremely unfavorable, it will still be possible in a short period of time.

There is no telling the direction of the situation.

It can be said that the key among the key is Cao Cao's safety in the city.

I don’t know whether I should say it was lucky, lucky, or lucky... Well, to put it simply, it was Li Dian, Cao Xiu and Xu Ding. Although their sights were blocked by the fire, they shouted "Beheaded"

"Kill the thief Yuan and ask the lord to come out of the city to inspect his head" in an attempt to disturb the morale of Yuan Shu's army.

Although it seems to have no effect, this method can ensure that your movements are more likely to be transmitted to Cao Cao, and it also ensures that even if Cao Cao finds out, they will not be targeted immediately.

Object, let these people have no place to cry.

It can be said that this method that Cao Xiu came up with was unanimously praised by the other two people.

In this way, while shouting at the top of his lungs with a hoarse voice, he also had to constantly deal with the "fire men" who appeared from nowhere and killed them all. The number of troops that Li Dian brought into the huge fire scene in Shouchun was rapidly decreasing.

, if not for the occasional gathering of defeated troops along the way, which slowed down the loss of some troops. Perhaps they would have become the bare commander before they found Cao Cao.

What only made a few people a little upset was that the defeated soldiers had no idea where Cao Cao was going. They only knew that Cao Cao's order was to break out to the south, but including themselves...where is south!!!

However, Huangtian paid off, or it should be said that Cao Cao's children's shoes are worthy of being the son of the crystal wall in this plane. Even if he is embarrassed because of a certain little butterfly swaying left and right, he is still an important promoter of the world process after all - when this

When the group of people felt a little exhausted, they saw a tall and familiar figure in the distance against the backdrop of the fire.

Cao Cao is really miserable now.

The golden helmet on her head had been thrown away to someone unknown, and her bun was messy. Due to the fire, her hair was not only permed into unnatural curly waves, but also of different lengths and uneven density. The hair was originally draped behind her back.

Not only did the crimson cloak turn into smoky black, but more than half of it was missing. It looked like

The large scarves that some women wear behind their backs and the war horses under their crotches are no longer the horses of the gods. They are mounts contributed by the guards around them. Thinking about it, the previous one or even those previous ones have died in the sea of ​​​​fire.

I don’t know if the complete bones can be found, or were they secretly taken away and eaten?

Although the taste of horse meat is definitely not good, for the common people of this era, it is already absolutely delicious.

Of course, although Cao Cao's situation was miserable, it was considered the best compared to the subordinates around him - for example, Xia Houjie, who was following Cao Cao and was seriously injured, was covered in wounds at this time.

Blood shackled by hot flames

Especially the skin under the armor is not good at all. Even if such injuries can be recovered by small supply strategies or military rations, the excruciating pain when injured is still enough to make any ordinary person completely faint in this fire scene.

among.

What's more important is that in such a fire, these people have not suffered from other terrible conditions due to suffocation, which can be regarded as the lucky one.

It can be said that if this plane did not have special laws, Cao Cao and his group would definitely have been suffocated to death in the fire.

But even if he was so lucky, Cao Cao and the guards who had been following him were exhausted and their physical strength was about to run out. Once there was a problem with their physical strength, the injuries that could have been recovered would have turned into fatal hidden injuries. If Li Shushi was not as magical as Li Shushi,

Using self-healing spells to treat it, even if his life can be saved in the end, his career as a military general can only end.

Just like someone as strong as Zhao Yun or Tai Shi Ci, if their body functions are destroyed, they can only become a useless person and turn to another path.

Under the escort of Li Dian and others, although on the way out you could still occasionally see the elusive soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, as well as those "burning men" who caused everyone a lot of trouble, it can still be said that they were surprised.

No risk.

Walking out of the fire, oh no, it was Cao Cao at the west gate of Shouchun City. Although he looked very embarrassed, he didn't seem to care. He just stopped in the safe open space outside the west gate of Shouchun City and stared at the building in front of him for a long time.

A place where danger is felt.

"If a light army advances rashly, there will be such a disaster. You should also keep it in mind and remind yourself at all times that fighting for supremacy on the battlefield is a place of life and death. Every step must be taken cautiously, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Because of this, everything has been reduced to nothing. If similar situations happen again in the future, please don’t forget to remind me!”

After saying that, he hit his horse and left. Although he was out of danger for the time being, don't forget that there is still Yuan Shu's main force over there that needs to be dealt with.

Cao Ren may be a commander worth trusting, but now Cao Cao, who is holding an unknown fire in his heart, is in urgent need of a channel to vent, and as the initiator of this entire incident, Yuan Shu is a perfect target!

"By the way, remind me after the war. It seems that I need to have a Hongyan letter with Li Shushi."

Suddenly, Cao Cao, who had turned his horse and ran forward, turned around and said something to the guards behind him that made them confused. Then he clamped the horse's belly again and accelerated towards the south. (Unfinished)
