"Is this Li thief? Is he still human? This doesn't give Cao Zhen a chance to survive. The heavens are not fair, why is Li thief so powerful when he does all kinds of evil!" For a moment, Cao Zhen felt extremely miserable. The silent cry, the small flame of survival was extinguished little by little, and I was completely desperate.

"Don't hurt my lord, Xu Chu is here!"

On the outskirts of the valley, Xu Chu shouted loudly, brandishing a nine-ring iron-backed saber in his hand, and galloped with his good horse, the big blue dragon, galloping out of the plank road aggressively, heading straight for the besieged Cao Jun in the middle of the valley.

Immediately after him were two generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, and more than fifty golden-armored soldiers.

In addition, before Xu Chu and his 55 riders, there was Li Li's mount, the Golden Beast King.

"Roar!"

Amidst the earth-shattering roar of the beast king, the golden beast king leaped over the big green dragon and rushed to lead the way for Xu Chu and others.

At this moment, there are more and denser Cao Jun soldiers crowded around the valley than before, tens of thousands of horses, blocking the valley and the entrance of the plank road so tightly that needles cannot be inserted and water can not be splashed.Numerous soldiers of the Cao army frantically poured into the plank road without fear of death, rushing desperately to the Taniguchi, which caused Xu Chu and others to encounter the most violent resistance. They were hindered and fell far behind Li Li. The situation of riding alone into the valley.

Fortunately, the generals of the Cao army had no intention of fighting, and they all focused on rushing out of the valley to escape, which gave Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and others a chance to enter the valley.Under the condition that Cao Jun's soldiers were not entangled or loved to fight, they finally broke through the plank road and rushed into the valley to support the hero Li Li who was fighting alone.

Even so, Xu Chu and others still paid a heavy price in casualties.After a fight on the 200-meter plank road, there were originally a hundred gold-armored soldiers.Nearly half of them have been lost, and there are only 52 people left, plus three generals Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang.Right now, only 55 of them rushed into the valley to rescue Li Li.

At the same time when Xu Chu and others rushed into the valley, the thousands of Cao soldiers who besieged Li Li in the middle of the valley wanted to capture the thief first and capture the king to capture and kill Li Li, but unexpectedly, Li Li was extremely brave. The death scythe ruthlessly harvested the lives of Cao Bing. In just a short moment, more than two hundred Cao Bing died tragically under the blade.

Facing Li Li, who is as fierce as a god of death, and the life-threatening sword in his hand.Many Cao soldiers dared not go forward to fight, for fear of losing their lives, and could not retreat without authorization.Dilemma, at a loss and don't know what to do.At this moment, more than a dozen Cao soldiers who were timid and looking around accidentally discovered the figure of the "lord Cao Cao", and saw their "lord" passing through the crowd.Climbing and rolling, fled to the Taniguchi plank road without any image.Trying to follow the army pouring into the plank road and rush out of the valley.

The dozen or so Cao soldiers who saw their lord fleeing secretly immediately followed "Cao Cao" without hesitation, and ran away; in this way, if there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three, and then spread rapidly.As a result, the encirclement around Li Li became smaller and smaller, from the previous three or four thousand Cao's troops rapidly reduced to more than a thousand, one thousand, eight hundred and five hundred.After a while.Only the more than 300 Cao soldiers in the inner circle who fought head-on with Li Li were still fighting bloody foolishly, while the others all poured into the Taniguchi plank road.I ran for my life.

Even the "Lord Cao Cao" who was wearing a dark red robe sneaked away first. Do these Cao soldiers who besieged and killed Li Li still need to risk their lives to fight?

In these days, the reason why most soldiers choose to join the army to fight is nothing more than to make a living.Soldiers are lucky if they feed their stomachs and support their families, and many soldiers risk their lives for this.However, when facing death, starvation and cold, how many soldiers are still loyal to their lord or "Cao Cao"?Regarding this question, I am afraid that all the princes in the world do not know and have no idea, and all the soldiers who joined the army did not know clearly; this includes Li Li.

In troubled times, everyone is struggling for survival, desperately trying to fill their stomachs for the whole family.There are not no soldiers who are truly loyal to their respective heroes, but there will not be many. Most soldiers go to the battlefield for themselves and their families.Under such a big environment and background, following the strong is undoubtedly the common choice of most soldiers; once defeated, there are not many soldiers who would rather die than surrender; The inevitable choice of soldiers is reasonable and understandable.

Right now, the battle in the valley south of Feiyundu is exactly like this.Tens of thousands of Cao's troops were trapped in the valley, and they broke through repeatedly but were repeatedly frustrated. This frustrated Cao's soldiers' determination and courage to fight to the death.Li Li rode alone into the valley alone. This was originally a good opportunity to make a comeback, but unexpectedly, most of the main generals of the Cao army were captured. The coach Cao Cao never dared to stand up and lead the army to fight back, making many middle and low-level generals at a loss. As a result, the entire army was affected, and people were panicked and confused.

Now, seeing the coach "Cao Cao" sneaking away without saying a word, many soldiers of the Cao army in the valley followed suit and swarmed into the plank road at the entrance of the valley.As a result, Cao Jun, who still has no less than [-] soldiers, will have no fighting spirit, no fighting spirit, and completely lose the courage to fight to the death. The only thought in their minds at this moment is to rush out of the valley and escape from Feiyundu.

"Da da da!"

"Roar"

As Cao soldiers in the valley poured into the plank road one after another, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang led dozens of golden-armored soldiers smoothly into the valley, and galloped to Li Li.And the Golden Beast King, who has always been good at speed, was unwilling to be left behind. He appeared in front of Li Li like lightning, and bowed his body with a low growl, allowing Li Li to sit on his back again.

"Is the lord alright?"

"The general is incompetent and failed to protect the safety of the lord, so that the lord is in a tight siege. The general apologizes, and the lord punishes him!"

The moment they rode their horses up to Li Li, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang didn't bother to rein in their horses and stopped, so they rushed to confess their crimes, fearing that Li Li might make a mistake.

"Hehehe!" Li Li raised his knife and leaped onto the back of the King of Beasts, laughing loudly: "Wenyuan, Zhongkang, and Gongming don't need to blame themselves, let alone worry about my safety! I think Li Li went to the battlefield when I was more than ten years old. After hundreds of fights, I have always been the one who kills, who can kill me!"

"In the battle of Feiyundu tonight, although Cao's soldiers are numerous and powerful, they are frightened birds and turtles in a urn. Even if there are tens of thousands of them, they are not to be feared. What's more, these Cao soldiers are full of thoughts to rush out of the valley and seize the road. Escaping, I have no intention of fighting at all. Therefore, I rushed into the valley alone this time, which seemed extremely dangerous, but in fact it was not dangerous, and I came and went freely. Originally, I wanted to use myself as bait to lure Cao Cao to show up and create a kind of The illusion that if you kill me, Li Li, you can get out of trouble safely, I didn't expect Cao thief to be as cowardly as a mouse, and he never showed up."

Having said that, Li Li shook his head in disappointment, then raised his eyes to Zhang Liao and Xu Chu: "Did Wen Yuan find any traces of the Cao thief? Did Zhongkang and Gong Ming see him wearing a red robe while they were rushing all the way?" Cao thief?"

"Ugh! The general didn't pay attention to the traces of Cao thief." Xu Chu and Xu Huang were shocked when they heard the sound, and immediately shook their heads slightly.

"My lord, if the red-robed General Cao who appeared before the battle is really a Cao thief, the last general will have seen it." Zhang Liao reported respectfully.

"Oh? Wen Yuan quickly reported, where is Cao thief now?"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Liao turned around and pointed at Cao Jun who was crowded 100 meters away from the plank road: "Look, my lord, the red-robed general standing on the rock of the plank road and looking at the valley entrance may be the Cao Cao that my lord is looking for. The last general and Zhongkang led the army just now." On the way to the valley, I accidentally caught a glimpse of him, but unfortunately, tens of thousands of Cao troops poured into the plank road, it was too crowded, so that even if the last general wanted to kill him, he couldn't do it. Just? "

"Just what, Wen Yuan seems to have something in his words? Wen Yuan wants to say something, but it doesn't matter!"

Zhang Liao nodded when he heard the sound, and turned his head to look at the red-robed General Cao on the plank road: "To tell the truth, my lord, when the general served under the governor of Ding Yuan in his early years, he was ordered to go to Luoyang to recruit troops for the then great general He Jin. At that time, he had met Cao Cao several times. Cao Cao was about seven feet six inches tall, with a square face. Although his appearance was not outstanding, he was still considered Zhou Zheng. There was always a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, especially his small but very powerful eyes. God's eyes are impressive. He is tall and strong, his lower abdomen is slightly fat, and he walks like a dragon and a tiger, quite majestic. In addition, the general heard that Cao Cao likes a beautiful beard, and he has a beard more than an inch long under his jaw. Always stroke your beard and admire yourself.”

"That's right, although the person who just showed up in front of the formation is dressed like Cao Cao and is about the same size as Cao Cao, he is a little thinner. The suit of battle armor seems a bit too big for him, and the red tasseled helmet is also big. Covering most of his cheeks, his behavior is very suspicious. The most surprising thing for the general is that the man does not seem to have a long beard, and his walking posture is also very different from Cao Cao. He does not have the majesty of a superior. Also, if he really It's Cao Cao, so why didn't he have a mount when he went out to shout, but went into battle on foot?

These doubts made the general suspect that the general Cao in the red robe was not Cao Cao himself, but a stand-in who deliberately attracted the attention of the lord and me, or that he was a scapegoat hired by Cao Cao to lure us to stare at him closely. Create a chance for the real Cao Cao to escape from Taniguchi. "

"Huh?" Li Li's expression changed when he heard that, and his eyebrows frowned instantly, his eyes revealing a sense of surprise: "No wonder I have a faint feeling that something is wrong. It turns out that this red-robed General Cao is a counterfeit, a scapegoat deliberately launched by Cao thief to divert our attention." In this way, Cao Cao did not show his face from the beginning to the end. He took off his armor and battle robe early on for his generals to wear, while he himself was wearing the armor of ordinary infantry and hid among the infantry in an attempt to confuse his eyes and wait for an opportunity Run out of the valley and escape."

Speaking of this, Li Li's expression suddenly changed: "Not good! Taniguchi, Wenyuan, how is the battle situation in Taniguchi now?"

"Ah!" Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard the words, his face turned pale and he didn't dare to look up at Li Li: "The last general of Taniguchi doesn't know how the battle in Taniguchi is going. But right now, more than [-] Cao troops are pouring into the plank road, just over [-] steps long. How can the plank road at the mouth of the valley accommodate so many soldiers and horses? Therefore, if it is not expected, Cao Jun should have broken through the mouth of the valley and rushed to the official road by now."

Chapter 668

"At present, more than [-] Cao troops have entered the plank road. How can the valley entrance plank road with a length of more than [-] steps accommodate so many soldiers and horses? Therefore, if it is not expected, Cao Jun should have broken through the valley entrance plank road and rushed to the official road by now. "

After uttering these words with great difficulty, Zhang Liao lowered his head in shame, for fear that the lord Li Li's anger would be vented on him.

Exactly as Zhang Liao had imagined, at this moment Li Li's face was clouded with clouds, his brows were drawn horizontally like a sharp sword out of its sheath, his eyes were slightly narrowed with a cold light, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and he had a furious expression of wanting to choose someone and devour him.

However, Li Li, who was furious, did not vent his anger on Zhang Liao, nor did he blame Xu Chu and Xu Huang. Instead, he held back, looked up at the night sky, and remained silent.

"The lord vents his unhappiness in his heart, and the general is willing to punish him in the end, as long as the lord calms down!"

Xu Chu, who seldom saw Li Li lose his temper in a fit of rage, could not bear to see Li Li blushing and furious at this moment, so he immediately dismounted from his horse and walked up to Li Li, bowing down and begging for punishment.

Hearing the sound, Li Li looked down at Xu Chu, his anger eased, and he reached out to pat Xu Chu's shoulder: "Why did Zhongkang do anything wrong, and why is he willing to accept the punishment?"

"My lord's displeasure is the fault of my servants. What happened tonight is all due to the incompetence of the last general and others. First, the lord was trapped in the thieves' army, and now let the Cao thief take advantage of the chaos and escape without a trace. This is our fault." Sin. I implore my lord not to get angry, the general will be willing to be punished!" Xu Chu said respectfully with a sincere expression.

"Well, it's enough for Zhongkang to have this kind of heart." Pulling Xu Chu up casually, the anger on Li Li's face quietly dissipated.Instead, a gratified smile appeared.

"Just now when I was in a tight siege, Zhongkang rushed here regardless of his own safety. He was unparalleled in bravery. Loyalty is commendable. If I, Li Li, were not rewarded for my meritorious deeds and punished for my faults, wouldn't I be an extremely stupid person? How to command the whole army in the future, how to convince the masses? Therefore, Zhongkang needn't be like this. Such small setbacks are nothing to me, Li Li, and there is no need to get angry.

Isn't he just Cao Cao?At best, he was just a mere vassal, and he was a homeless dog who had lost his roots, and ran away as soon as he ran away.What is the point?I was too impatient tonight, and I wanted to kill Cao Cao with my own hands, so I didn't hesitate to go into battle myself, using my body as bait.Such a loss of heart is bound to make mistakes.It's just that I was a little wrong when I waited for tonight.Relying on a mere hundred or so people to enter the valley, the result is now empty, leaving an opportunity for Cao Jun to take advantage of them, causing them to swarm into the valley entrance plank road.Instead, we were left behind by Cao Jun, stuck in a dilemma in the valley, unable to block Cao Jun's breakthrough head-on.

This mistake was too big, it was tantamount to being trapped in a cocoon, thus missing a great opportunity to intercept and kill Cao thief in vain! "

Xu Chu turned his head to look at the tightly blocked Taniguchi plank road.Only then did I realize that I and the others were really left behind by Cao Jun, stuck in the valley and unable to get out.At this time, I want to return to Taniguchi.It must be killed from behind Cao Jun. There are more than 2 Cao Jun, even if more than 2 cattle and sheep stand there motionless and let them be hacked, they will not be able to finish killing before dawn.What's more, at this moment, Cao Jun's front troops have rushed out of the valley, and there is no need to wait until dawn. They can break through the intercepting army led by Ma Chao on the official road within half an hour, and then escape.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu immediately thought that Cao Cao, who was disguised as an ordinary infantry, must be hiding among the soldiers in the front. Maybe he had rushed out of the valley at this time and was fighting with Ma Chao's troops.

"My lord, Bandit Cao is likely to be among the former army. Maybe he has rushed to the official road to meet General Meng Qi head-on. I just don't know if Meng Qi recognizes Bandit Cao, whether he can stop him, or kill him directly; If Meng Qi has never seen Cao thief like us, maybe he will let Cao thief slip away from him!"

After hearing Xu Chu's words, Li Li nodded slightly: "Zhongkang's words are reasonable. Maybe you really hit the mark. Meng Qi, like me, has never met Cao Cao; if his father Ma Teng is here, Bandit Cao must be doomed, because Ma Teng has seen Cao Cao. It is a pity that it is too late to say anything now, Wen Yuan can recognize Cao Bandit, but we are in the valley at the moment and cannot go out; otherwise, as long as Wen Yuan recognizes Cao Cao, He can't escape tonight no matter what!"

Zhang Liao nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps there is another possibility. This is that Cao Cao was not among the Cao army on the plank road at all, but he led 2 horses straight to the valley entrance north of Feiyundu from the very beginning. Going directly is to take General Teng Xiao to station at the northern exit. If this is the case, perhaps Cao Cao has already broken through the encirclement and escaped. After all, the northern valley entrance is much wider than the south valley entrance, and there are only [-] county soldiers stationed, so the combat power is limited. , if Bandit Cao personally leads [-] soldiers and horses to attack fiercely, he will be able to break out of the encirclement within an hour, and then flee far away and disappear without a trace."

"Well, there is indeed such a possibility." Li Li frowned slightly and nodded slightly. After thinking for a while, he shook his head in deep thought: "Changing places, if Wenyuan were Cao Cao, would you choose to break out from the north or the south?"

"Uh! The valley entrance to the north is more than ten miles away. The situation is unknown, and Cao Jun only sent 2 troops. It is really uncertain whether he can break through. But the valley entrance to the south is just in front of us. It is only three hundred steps away from the valley, and there are four With the Wan Dajun in hand, it is more likely to break out of the encirclement. In comparison, if the last general is Cao Cao, I will choose to stay at the valley entrance in the south, and break out as soon as I have a chance." Zhang Liao thought about it.
