Chapter 61: His power is unrivaled! [Seeking follow-up reading]

The stars dimmed.

A bed crossbow is a bow or several bows mounted on a bed frame, which are fired by twisting the axle. Its power far exceeds that of a single-person crossbow.

In the darkness of night, crossbows were lined up outside Cao's mansion, with ropes strung and arrows shining coldly.

hum-

The thick bowstring vibrated and the crossbow arrow broke through the air.

Outside the gate of Cao's mansion, a group of stationed soldiers were unable to dodge and were shot through by crossbow arrows and nailed directly to the wall.

Then the noose of the crossbow began to spin, and the giant arrow that was shot out was pulled by the rope, and even the bodies of the soldiers who were nailed to death were dragged back together.

A scarlet line of blood dragged from the gate of Cao's mansion all the way to Dong Lue's eyes.

The blood color reflected the starlight, and the ground looked as if it had been washed by blood.

The corner of Dong Lue's mouth curled up into a sneer.

The vanguard had already rushed forward, but Dong Lue was very steady, after all, he was a veteran of many battles. No matter how brave a person may look, he would not underestimate the enemy on the battlefield, otherwise he would not be alive today.

"Have you ever explored the surrounding mansions?" Dong Lue asked.

Before rushing into Cao's mansion, you must understand the surrounding situation to avoid an ambush.

This is Dong Lue's caution.

"We have sent people to investigate, and there is no ambush."

Dong Lue laughed and said, "Xiyuan Army, Cao Cao, is nothing more than that!"

"Go in and capture the eunuch alive."

At the front, the Liangzhou army led by Zhang Gong, each of them brave and valiant, had already engaged in close combat with the troops outside Cao's residence.

The huge crossbow shot directly through the gate of the mansion.

Some of the mansions nearby are also owned by officials.

But everyone was silent, frightened by the sudden shouting and screaming coming from outside, and remained silent as a mouse.

Dong Lue led a large group of troops and followed into Cao's mansion on horseback after the other troops rushed in.

They mobilized 1,500 people to raid Cao's mansion.

Moreover, they are fifteen thousand veteran soldiers from Liang Province, so they cannot be ignored.

There are about a thousand soldiers stationed in Cao's mansion on a daily basis, and a few mansions in the surrounding area are also occupied by the Xiyuan Army to store troops.

This information is not a secret and is not difficult to find out.

Dong Zhuo's men have been focusing on investigating Cao's mansion, the Xiyuan Army at the east gate of the imperial palace, and the number of soldiers under Ding Yuan's command in the past few days.

So they knew exactly how many soldiers Cao had before they arrived.

Dong Zhuo's 1,500 Liangzhou troops took advantage of the main attack and used equipment such as crossbows.

Dong Lue calculated carefully and realized that there was no way the Cao family could stop them.

It all depends on whether he can break into the mansion and capture Cao Cao alive before Ding Yuan's troops arrive to help!

After launching the raid, the speed at which the goal was broken was basically in line with his expectations.

The Cao's troops on the periphery were defeated step by step under the attack of the elite troops from Liang Province.

Dong Lue entered the gate of Cao's mansion and felt more confident.

Although these Xiyuan troops are also elite, they are no match for his Liangzhou troops.

As you enter the gate of the mansion, you will see a huge rockery that looks like a city wall, which functions similarly to a stone screen.

When he came out from behind the rockery, he suddenly felt enlightened.

A small martial arts arena within the palace, which is the outer courtyard, appeared before his eyes.

The hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers who rushed in first fought with the guards of Cao's mansion in the martial arts field, and it did not seem crowded at all.

This Cao Mansion is so luxurious and spacious. After I kill Cao Cao, I will ask you to give the mansion to me... An idea flashed through Dong Lue's mind.

Behind him, more Liangzhou troops poured in, spreading out like a tide.

Dong Lue looked across the square.

At the second gate of the mansion, Cao Cao, accompanied by Dian Wei, Xiao Xiang and other personal soldiers, walked out slowly and stood on the doorstep.

"Cao Cao, you dare to go against my Liangzhou troops. My Lord has ordered me to capture you. Why don't you surrender?"

Dong Lue stood up from his horse, his face fierce: "Use the crossbows to shoot the Cao's guards and attack them!"

On the other side, Cao Cao said, "Sure enough, someone came to die."

The Grand Marshal Cui Lie who had been rescued before was also in Cao's mansion.

He followed Cao Cao with a grim look on his face: "Cao Mengde, you said that Cao's mansion might be attacked tonight. After Changjie rescued me, you wanted to borrow some imperial guards to defend outside the mansion. I agreed and will help you transfer people here immediately.

Those who were shot dead in the outer area were all imperial guards. Your Xiyuan troops retreated to the inner area, and no one was injured. Dozens of imperial guards died!"

Otherwise, can I still let the Xiyuan Army be on the periphery and protect the Imperial Army inside... Cao Cao ignored Cui Lie and ordered:

"Close the door, don't let anyone get away, send word and surround them."

From a historical perspective, Cao Cao was a master of military strategy.

Although he lost in one wave, it did not delay his brilliant battles. His ability to make strategic plans and adapt to changing circumstances enabled him to dominate the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. After Changjie killed the troops who were trying to capture Cui Lie, he considered that Dong Zhuo might send someone to counterattack.

He brought Cui Lie to his house and asked him to quickly dispatch two hundred trustworthy imperial guards to guard outside the house.

If too many people were transferred, Cui Lie would not know who among the imperial guards were loyal at the moment.

But within the range of two hundred, it is not a problem.

Cao Cao had just saved him, so Cui Lie couldn't refuse and did it immediately.

As soon as the imperial guards were deployed on the periphery, Dong Zhuo's men came to attack.

The Xiyuan Army was on high alert and retreated inside the house for defense.

When Dong Lue led his troops into the house, Cao Cao ordered the gate to be closed.

Then release Dian Wei!
"Dian Wei, go and kill them to your heart's content!" said Cao Cao.

Dian Wei roared like a tiger, and the next moment he rushed out like a vicious tiger coming down the mountain.

His upper body was bent particularly low, his shoulders pushed forward, and his whole body leaned forward at an extremely obvious angle. He pushed off the ground with his feet and rolled towards the enemy formation at phantom-like speed, aiming directly at Dong Lue who was being guarded by the soldiers in the middle.

Dian Wei heard the words of his master, Lao Zhang, "Da Dian, your courage and boundless strength are most suitable for charging into the battlefield, killing the enemy and beheading the enemy generals. If you have the opportunity to join the army, you must work hard. The master is waiting for the day when you will be promoted to a general and enjoy the happiness with you."

After that day, Dian Wei went down the mountain and killed the entire family just to repay the help he had received when he was young.

Master, I am here. Today I will let the army know how brave I, Dian Wei, am...ah...Dian Wei suddenly let out a deafening roar that was heard throughout the city.

The sound rolled in Cao's mansion like thunder, as if it were a thunderbolt.

On the other side, Dong Lue sneered: "This man is stupid and dares to charge into the battle. Shoot him..."

His voice was instantly suppressed by Dian Wei's roar.

The crossbow was fired, and the moment it left the string, Dian Wei rushed up at an incredibly fast speed. He reached out and grabbed the huge arrows that had just left the string, one in each hand.

It's too fast.

Dian Wei was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He didn't need any moves at all. His impact was so powerful that all the Liangzhou soldiers who were hit by him had their armor shattered and fell to the ground in large numbers.

Hiss! Hiss!

Dian Wei swung his arms so quickly that the huge arrow in his hands made a sharp sound as it broke through the air.

One after another, soldiers from Liangzhou were stabbed and fell in a pool of blood.

From a distance, Dian Wei's speed of advancement in the enemy army was almost like he was running all the way to Dong Lue, unhindered.

In the back, Cui Lie took a breath:
"Cao...Mengde, your guard is truly brave and powerful! I have never seen anyone charge into battle like this!"

Boom boom boom!
The air exploded where Dian Wei was, and a small whirlwind surrounded him.

Like a gust of wind sweeping away the remaining clouds.

Dong Lue's face changed drastically. There were more than a hundred soldiers in front of him, and they were rushed in like being torn into pieces by Dian Wei.

Not to mention that he himself didn't expect it, some of the surrounding troops didn't even have time to join the battle, they were knocked away and covered in blood.

Dong Lue turned his horse around and wanted to retreat so that more people could come up to protect him.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared above, and it was Dian Wei who leaped up with his tiger claws outstretched.

The two soldiers beside Dong Lue drew their swords to block, but the huge arrow stained with blood in Dian Wei's hand flew out of his hand and nailed the two men to death on their horses.

Dong Lue cried out in horror, drew his sword and slashed at Dian Wei, but when the sword was halfway towards Dian Wei, he let out a scream.

Dian Wei had grabbed his shoulders.

The metal armor caved in and the shoulder blade suddenly shattered.

Dian Wei captured Dong Lue with one hand and turned to look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and Dian Wei turned around and punched Dong Lue on the head.

"You... dare to kill me... Your Excellency will not..."

Another punch.

The helmet and Dong Lue's head were quickly dented by Dian Wei's punches.

Dong Lue's eyes were fixed, full of despair.

Dian Wei threw several punches, and the head and helmet were completely blurred into a pool of flesh and blood.

"So what if Dong Zhuo comes? I'll just kill him anyway and replace him with a donkey!"

Dian Wei's body was covered in blood that had been splashed on him by others. He dragged Dong Lue's corpse, reached out and tore off Dong Lue's head, and threw the headless corpse onto Cao Cao's side of the square, where it became a military trophy.

That night, the enemy had thousands of soldiers, but Dian Wei charged into the battle alone and hunted down enemy generals' heads as easily as taking something out of a bag.

Dian Wei held Dong Lue's bloody head with one hand and roared, it was so satisfying to kill the enemy!

The whole audience suddenly fell silent amid Dian Wei's roar.

As soon as the battle started, the chief general was killed!
All the Liangzhou troops were shocked.

On the wall of Cao's mansion, Xiyuan soldiers armed with bows and crossbows appeared one after another.

The fierce battle has just begun!
