Before tonight, even though Mo Bingmei and her relationship was already mutual, she had never let up on the matter of marriage. No matter what methods Gongsun Xu used, it was to no avail. At this time, Gongsun Xu suddenly heard a clear answer from his mouth. Gongsun Xu was extremely happy, and without caring about the surrounding soldiers watching, he immediately pulled Mo Bingmei into his embrace.
"Didn't you want to lead an army to stop Cao Cao? Why did you suddenly enter the city? " Mo Bingmei let Gongsun Xu hug her for a while, but in the end, she was still unable to endure the looks from her surroundings.
Gongsun Xu looked at the corpses on the ground, sighed, and asked: "I never thought that Gao Tie would actually pretend to submit, and I recklessly believed him, causing so many soldiers to lose their lives in vain, I went overboard!"
Mo Bingmei shook his head, and said with a dejected look in his eyes: "This matter has nothing to do with you. It's all because I believe too much in myself, believing that I can control Gao Tie with the hostage in my hands. "I will give my men a proper explanation when we return!"
"Alright, alright!" Gongsun Xu waved his hand, and said in a heavy voice: "Don't worry about this matter, I know what to do! "Right, where's Sima Yi?"
"He might be dead. Let's go over and take a look!" Mo Bingmei answered uncertainly and quickly walked forward.
Gongsun Xu was shocked. He still had great expectations for Sima Yi and after this battle, he would make Sima Yi his prefecture chief in order to pacify the common people. They hurriedly followed behind Mo Bingmei as they walked toward the street where Sima Yi had landed.
"There's no saving him!" Mo Bingmei walked in front of Sima Yi and asserted himself after a single glance.
When Gongsun Xu followed behind and took a look, he couldn't help but shake his head in regret. He saw Sima Yi lying on the ground with his face half turned to his side, a spear piercing through his ribs and coming out from his back at an angle. A two feet long spear shaft was revealed from his back, beneath him was a large pool of blood. Carrying hope, Gongsun Xu stepped forward and flipped Sima Yi over. He closed his eyes and his face was deathly pale, his presence long since gone.
"What a pity!" "What a pity!" Gongsun Xu released his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Bingmei asked suspiciously: "This person's talent isn't outstanding, he seems to only have the looks of a middle-aged man, why do you place so much importance on him?"
"That's because we didn't give him a chance to show off!" Gongsun Xu laughed bitterly and shook his head. If Mo Bingmei's words had been heard by the historians before his rebirth, they would have definitely drawn a round of criticism.
"What should I do now?" Mo Bingmei did not argue with Gongsun Xu on this matter. Looking at the busy soldiers, he changed the topic.
Gongsun Xu pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Bring Sima Yi's corpse with you to see Sima Fang, and ask him to step out and help control the situation."
"Aren't you going to kill Cao Cao?" Mo Bingmei was very surprised.
"Zhang He has already gone searching for Cao Cao Cao, and outside of the city, there is Zi Long leading an army to intercept him. Cao Cao Cao could not escape even if he wanted to escape, not to mention that I have to go now. "It's already too late. It's better to stay in the city and control the situation as soon as possible!"
"You're right!" Mo Bingmei nodded his head, but suddenly said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that Sima Fang will not come out to help when he sees that my son has died!"
"You don't understand the attitude of that kind of person like Sima Fang!" Gongsun Xu laughed sarcastically as he replied softly, "In the hearts of people like them, I can sacrifice almost anyone for the continuation of the family's strength. Now that Sima Yi has lost his life for my sake, if Sima Fang doesn't take the opportunity to come out and seek benefits, wouldn't Sima Yi's death be in vain?"
Mo Bingmei said coldly: "That's why I never liked those aristocratic families!"
"I don't like it either!" Gongsun Xu smiled as he echoed them. He conveniently selected two of his personal guards and instructed them: "Put Sima Yi's corpse on the horse for me. Follow me to the Sima Manor."
The two personal guards stepped forward and placed Sima Yi's corpse on the back of the horse.
Gongsun Xu asked: "Bingmei, do you want to go back to the army camp to recover from your injuries?"
"No need!" Mo Bingmei shook his head and said a little dejectedly: "Going to the Sima Manor requires me to pass by Zhang Wang's residence. I need to go and see that little girl Zhang Chunhua, and apply some medicine there for my injuries."
Not only had Gao Gang saved Gao Tie's wife, he had also lost his life. Mo Bingmei thought that if he had not gone to find Zhang Wang, the other party would not have died so easily, so he felt extremely guilty towards Zhang Chunhua.
Gongsun Xu nodded his head: "Alright, then let's go."
Just as he said that, suddenly, a large group of people turned around the corner of the street. It was Gongsun Yi, who went to chase after Gao Gang. Gongsun Yi's body had a few cuts, his helmet was also gone, and his hair was let down, he looked to be in a sorry state.
When he was near, Gongsun Xu dismounted and threw a head onto the ground. He knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Reporting to the general, I have already beheaded Gao Gang, this is his head!"
Gongsun Xu looked at Gao Gang's head, and praised: "Alright, this thief deserves to die! Xiao Yi, you have rendered another merit. What do you want me to reward you with? "
Gongsun Yi kowtowed three times, gritted his teeth and said: "If we capture Cao Chun, please allow me to take revenge for brother!"
Gongsun Xu nodded his head without hesitation and agreed to Gongsun Yi's request. Indeed, he had a good impression of Cao Chun and even thought of recruiting him, but now that he had formed a feud with the Cao family, no matter what Cao Cao's ending was, Cao Chun would never come over. Since that was the case, Gongsun Xu gave up on the idea of recruiting Cao Chun and promised to give him a chance for revenge.
Mo Bingmei waited until Gongsun Yi stood up before asking, "Are we going to the Sima Manor now?"
Gongsun Xu nodded, then looked at Gongsun Yi and instructed: "Xiao Yi, we can talk about the matter of revenge later, I have something I need you to do now!"
"General, please give the order!"
"Bring a thousand people with you to control the west gate, and at the same time, send people to investigate Shan Meng's injuries. Then, report to me immediately after!"
Gongsun Yi responded as he ordered his men to head towards the west gate.
"I wonder if Cao Cao has left the city yet?" Gongsun Xu raised his head and looked at the clouds that were gradually dispersing, and muttered softly.
"Kill!" Outside the White Horse Camp's army camp in the south of the city, there was suddenly a heaven shaking battle cry. A large group of Cao Army s suddenly rushed out of the city gate and charged forward bravely.
In the middle of the group, torches were lit, and a 'Cao' sign was fluttering in the fire. A man wearing black armor, a red cape, and a mask and helmet was standing there with only his eyes and mouth exposed. From the looks of his body, he was Cao Cao.
Beside Cao Cao, there was a big general holding a big axe, rushing forward as he followed Cao Cao. It was the Cao Army general, Xu Huang Xu Gongming.
Previously, when they were discussing the direction of Cao Cao Cao's escape, both Guo Jia and Guo Jia thought that Cao Cao Cao was most likely to charge out from the east and south of the city. The west side of the city was where Gongsun Xu's army would rush in, so Cao Cao Cao would definitely not break out, but the rivers north of the city was not the most suitable direction to break out of. Because of this, when Zhao Yun took over the command of the cavalry outside the city that was prepared to intercept them, he placed the main force of the cavalry at the south and east corners of the city. No matter if Cao Cao Cao tried to break out from the south or east of the city, he would still be able to intercept them in time.
When Zhao Yun heard the shouts for battle, his mind shook and he immediately brought his four thousand cavalrymen to rush towards the south of the city.
When Gongsun Xu was setting up camp, he had thought that the garrison would break through the siege and leave. As a result, the camp was extremely tight, with strong fences, strong horses and deer skin s, and a wide trench. When Cao Army arrived in front of the army camp, he saw all these things in front of him stop. Not to mention fences, horses, etc, it was difficult to rush through the ten foot wide trench in one go — — It was not because this trench was wide enough to make people unable to jump over it. When the sound of killing came, many torches were lit in the camp opposite, the bright lights clearly showed the countless crossbows. Everyone knew that if the enemy suddenly released an arrow while jumping into the trench, there was no way for them to dodge it.
Seeing that, he suddenly stopped, and hurriedly spurred his horse over to take a look, and after taking a look, he shouted: "Charge! Charge over right now, and don't be afraid of the former! "
The Cao Army warriors looked at each other, none of them wanted to be the first person to be shot like a hedgehog.
Xu Huang was furious, he waved his axe and killed a few more people who were afraid of him.
The other Cao Army warriors shouted and jumped towards the ditch in front of them.
Plop! Plop! The sound of people jumping into the trench suddenly rang out. Apart from those who were lucky enough to successfully jump over, more than 70% of the people fell into the trench, quickly using their hands and feet to climb up. However, the people behind him continued to rush forward. Those who fell in didn't even have the chance to climb out before they were forced back by their fellow soldiers. In an instant, cries of agony rose up from the surroundings of the trench.
"Quick, quick, quick!" "Faster!" Xu Huang kept shouting. If he could not break out of the encirclement before the enemy cavalry army arrived, then everything would be over!
Weng! * A series of muffled, buzzing sounds suddenly rang out from the bowstrings. The White Horse Camp's archers in the army camp finally made their moves. The camp's fence was only fifty to sixty steps away from the moat, so no matter if it was Zhang Gong or the crossbow, they were both able to successfully reach that place. In an instant, arrows as dense as a black cloud quickly flew towards Cao Army.
