Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 587
Yuan Tan rushed from Xudu to Runan County, and arrived in a few days, but he did not enter the city.

Because when he arrived, he found that Cao Jun was already attacking the city, and now it was impossible to enter the city, so he decided to lie in ambush outside, waiting for the opportunity.

But today, there were scouts reporting that 5000 people came out of Cao Jun's barracks. I don't know their purpose, but the direction of their actions seems to be between a mountain forest outside Runan City.

Yuan Tan felt that this strange army must have some kind of conspiracy, so he led Deng Ai and others to follow closely behind.

"General Wu, how sure do you think this plan is?" Sun Kang asked Wu Dun.

"Ask me? If I can answer, I'm not a staff member of the lord, and I need to come out to do this drudgery." Wu Dun said angrily.

"Well, I don't know why I always feel a little uneasy, afraid that this trip will be dangerous." Sun Kang said with a serious face.

"I waited for the army to lick blood, why has General Sun become cowardly now?" Wu Dun laughed.

Seeing Wu Dun laughing at him, Sun Kang was slightly annoyed, so he stopped talking to him.

After a while, the captain led them into the entrance of a cave in the forest. It seemed that this was the entrance to the secret passage into the inner city.

Both of them were overjoyed, they didn't encounter any danger this time, now they only need to go into the cave to investigate, and then they can attack the city tomorrow.

Immediately, they sent people to investigate inside, and after a while, the soldiers confirmed that they could indeed enter the city.

The two sent people to guard the entrance of the cave, and they brought all the 5000 people in.

Yuan Tan also followed all the way, full of doubts in his heart, when he saw that all these people entered the cave and only a few people were left guarding outside the cave, he gave Deng Ai a wink, Deng Ai understood, and went quietly. He grabbed his tongue and came over.

When Yuan Tan saw it, he asked him why he came here.
At this time, the captured soldier was already terrified. At that time, he was taking care of himself, and Deng Ai suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost, and knocked him out with one blow. Now thinking about it, if Deng Ai wanted to kill him, he would have become There is a dead body.

Seeing Yuan Tan questioning now, he has not yet come out of the shock, and he has completely escaped.

When Yuan Tan heard that there was a secret passage in the cave and Cao Cao's plan, a plan emerged in his mind.

Deng Ai felt angry that Cao Cao had such a trick.

"There is actually a secret way to enter the city here. If these people are really allowed to enter the city, I am afraid that Cao Cao's treacherous plan will succeed." Deng Ai said angrily.

However, Yuan Tan laughed loudly at this moment, and said to Deng Ai: "Shi Zai's visit is to give us a good chance to defeat Cao Jun. I will deal with the people in the cave first, then enter the city, and then discuss the matter." thing."

After all, the soldier was killed with a knife, and he rushed into the cave with everyone. Sun Kang and Wu Dun didn't expect that there would be an enemy attack. In a panic, Deng Ai rushed in and shot one by one, killing him on the spot.

When the remaining soldiers saw that their general was dead, they also lost their fighting spirit, and they all put down their weapons and surrendered.

The noise in the cave was no more than a cup of tea, and then it became quiet. Thinking about the authenticity of the soldiers brought by these two people, they probably won't cause any major problems if they enter the city.

But this is just Yuan Tan's conjecture. If he really entered the city, it might not be like this.

On the second day, Cao Cao continued to attack the city with a large army. This time, Cao Cao felt that he was sure of victory.

However, the offensive of the defenders on Runan City was extremely fierce, like yesterday, the army couldn't even touch the city wall, let alone climb the tower with a ladder.

Just when Cao Cao felt that the two had failed, the attack on the tower stopped, and there were noises and fighting sounds in the city.

Moreover, the gate of Runan City opened with the noise.

When Cao Cao saw it, he was overjoyed. He knew that the five thousand ambush soldiers had already caused disturbances in the city and captured the city gate.

Then he happily ordered, and happily led the whole army into the city quickly.

But when the army rushed in, they found that the outer city gate was open, but the inner city gate was still closed. When they entered, even the outer city gate showed signs of closing.

"It's not a good idea to fall into the trap, retreat quickly." Cao Cao also reacted very quickly and immediately ordered a retreat.

But how could the army deliver the order in time at this moment, and many crossbowmen suddenly appeared on the city wall, and they just shot arrows without saying a word.

After a few more rounds of arrow rain, the soldiers who rushed in were shot to death without knowing what happened.

The soldiers at the back didn't know what was going on, and kept rushing into the city until Cao Cao's angry shouts gradually spread, and then they stopped the "death brigade".

At this moment, a large number of soldiers rushed out of the inner city, attacking them with sharp weapons.

Cao Cao was also panicked at this moment, so he took the lead and rushed out of the city.

At the same time, some iron cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city, breaking up all of Cao Cao's follow-up troops.

Even in this chaotic moment, Cao Cao couldn't dodge in time, was shot in the back by an arrow, and fell off his horse.

Thanks to the armor on his body, it was only scratched a little, but the surrounding soldiers were not so lucky, and were shot into hedgehogs by random arrows.

Just when Cao Cao thought he was going to die, a burly man was so brave that everyone in front of him was cut down by him.

This big man was like a tiger descending the mountain, and he rushed to Cao Cao's side in an instant.

While helping Cao Cao pull away the flying arrows that were approaching, he protected him from fleeing outside the city.

"Zhongkang, hurry up and leave me alone." Cao Cao said to the big man.

This big man is Cao Cao's general of Wuwei, Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang, who was called a tiger idiot by Cao Cao.

"With me, Xu Chu, here, I will definitely protect the Lord Zhou Quan." Xu Chu said, waving the weapon in his hand, slashing and killing the soldiers who rushed up, and escorting Cao Cao to the city gate.

When Cao Cao's soldiers saw Xu Chu's bravery, their morale improved a lot, and they all approached Cao Cao to cover him and rush out.

A large number of soldiers defending the city also rushed over here, but who is Xu Chu's opponent?

Xu Chu alone killed hundreds of people, then swung his long knife, repelled all the guards at the door, and forcibly sent Cao Cao out of the city.

Then he kicked a soldier who didn't know which side was flying back with his feet, intercepted the pursuers, and followed Cao Cao to withdraw from Runan City.

After catching up with Cao Cao, he easily pulled a cavalryman off his horse outside the city, trampled him to death, helped Cao Cao onto his horse, and quickly evacuated.

When they met their own soldiers on the way, they gathered them all together, and quickly retreated together.

Yuan Tan looked at the direction of Cao Jun who had already withdrawn, and smiled knowingly.

That day, Cao Cao wanted to enter the city through secret passages, attacking Runan City from inside and outside, but by chance, Yuan Tan bumped into the people leaving the camp and followed them.

When he knew the reason, he thought of the plan, first killed the 5000 people, then entered the city through a secret passage, and found Wenpin and Wei Yan.

When they saw Yuan Tan in the city, everyone was taken aback.

When I heard Yuan Tan talk about the secret passage in the city, I was also shocked. If it weren't for Yuan Tan, Runan City would have been captured this time.

He immediately admired Yuan Tan.

When Cao's army retreated, Yuan Tan did not pursue it, because the return journey must not be smooth, because Yuan Tan had only Lei Tong by his side.

Cao Cao fled all the way, followed by Xu Chu.

Thinking about the two days ago, they brought 7 people to Runan in a mighty manner, but now they are fleeing everywhere in a panic.

Cao Cao also felt depressed in his heart.

When there were no pursuers in sight, Cao Cao ordered a rest, and Xu Chu stood aside to be on guard.

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu, and felt a lot more at ease. If it wasn't for Xu Chu, he might have died in Runan.

Now that I think about it, I can't help being afraid, but I can breathe a sigh of relief after escaping this time.

But when he saw the surrounding environment, he laughed. Xu Chu was puzzled, thinking that Cao Cao had lost his mind because of the defeat.

"My lord, are you all right? It's just that Yuan Tan's scheming made me wait for a small defeat. When I return to Jingzhou, I'll make a comeback." Xu Chu persuaded.
