Continued from the previous issue. 31丨At the beginning of the watch, I only heard the shouts of the west gate, the city gate was wide open, and the drawbridge fell. Cao Cao scrambled to be the first to pat the horse and entered, but there was no one on the road, and he knew the plan, so he hurriedly turned back his horse and shouted: "Retreat!."”
32丨At this time, a cannon was suddenly heard, and the four gates of the city burst into flames, and the golden drums rang out in unison, and the shouts shook the sky. Zhang Liao rushed out of the east lane, and Zang Ba was killed in the west lane.
33丨Cao Cao ran to the north gate, and met Lu Bu's two generals to kill him, Cao Cao turned his head and left.
34丨Cao Cao hurriedly ran to the south gate, but was stopped by Gao Shun and Hou Cheng. Dian Wei gritted his teeth in anger and rushed out. Gao Shun and Hou Cheng withdrew from the city gate.
35丨Dian Wei killed the drawbridge, turned back and did not see Cao Cao, turned around sharply and went into the city again. Under the city gate, he bumped into Li Dian and asked, "Where is the lord?"Li Dian is also looking for it.
36丨Dian Wei entered the city, couldn't find Cao Cao, and then killed out of the city, and bumped into Le Jin by the moat, and asked where the lord was, Le Jin said that he couldn't find it after looking for it twice.
37丨The two came to the city, and saw that the artillery fire on the city was fierce, and Le Jin's horse could not enter, so Dian Wei had to brave the artillery fire and kill into the city again, looking for Cao Cao.
38丨It turned out that Cao Cao saw that Dian Wei had gone out, and the people and horses in the four places intercepted him and couldn't get out of the south gate;Turning to the north gate again, in the firelight, I saw Lu Bu coming from a halberd prancing horse.
39丨Cao Cao covered his face with his hand and rode past Lu Bu to pat the horse and rushed over, but did not recognize Cao Cao, only struck the halberd on Cao Cao's helmet and asked, "Where is Cao Cao?"Cao retorted: "The one who rides the yellow horse in front is!."Lu Bu then went away.
40丨Cao Cao deceived Lu Bu, turned the horse's head, and walked towards the east gate, where he happened to meet Dian Wei. It doesn't matter.
41丨Dian Wei guarded Cao Cao, opened a bloody road, and arrived at the city gate. The flames under the city soared to the sky, and the city kept pushing firewood and grass down, and the fire became more and more intense. Dian Wei used his halberd to pull away, and Pegasus burst through with smoke and rushed over. Cao Cao followed.
42丨As soon as he arrived at the city gate, a beam of fire collapsed from the city gate, which hit the back crotch of Cao Cao's war horse, and the horse suddenly fell down and knocked Cao Cao to the ground. Cao Cao pushed the fire beam aside with his hands, but his arms and beard were burned.
43丨Hao Dian Wei returned to Malay to teach, and it happened that Xiahou Yuan arrived, and the two rescued Cao Cao. Cao Cao rode on Xiahou Yuan's war horse, and Dian Wei took the road in front.
44丨Wait until dawn, Cao Cao led the remnants back to the village. The generals came to visit, Cao Cao looked up and laughed: "I will report the mistake of the horseman's plan!"”
45丨Guo Jia asked, "What's the plan?"Cao Cao said: "Today's plan is calculated, it is rumored that I was burned by fire, and the fifth watch has died, Lu Bu will come to attack me, ambush my troops in Maling Mountain, and wait for his soldiers to cross and attack Lu Bu can be captured!."”
