    Chapter 183 "Cao Cao is Captured"

    The Cao soldiers at the south gate and west gate looked at the five thousand Shu soldiers rushing towards their respective cities with a little strangeness: "What are they doing? Is it siege? They have no siege equipment, only a few hundred vehicles behind them."  The eunuch's car. It's not about attacking the city, right? What are they doing in such a hurry towards the city gate?"

    Although they were puzzled, Cao's well-trained soldiers still raised the alarm, and immediately the archers, crossbowmen, spearmen, sword and axemen and other soldiers were quickly in place: the bows were fully drawn, and the boiling oil soldiers also tightened their grip.  The gourd pole and the wooden reins are also in the hands of the soldiers and they are waiting for the Shu soldiers to attack the city.

    Now Cao Bing is not panicking at all. Even if Shu soldiers increase ten times, there will be no big problem.  Not to mention the thunderous cheers coming from the north, there were 30,000 troops behind each city gate ready to rush out to chase down the Shu soldiers.

    What reassured Cao Bing was that neither the five thousand Shu soldiers who rushed over nor the Shu soldiers who were patrolling in the distance made any siege action: the patrolling Shu soldiers were still wandering around under the leadership of Li Yan, while the rushing Shu soldiers were still wandering around.  It is also strange to climb the "garbage" mountain outside the city gate.  Hundreds of soldiers pushing the eunuch's cart abandoned their cart and the stones, sand, ice and other materials loaded on the cart on the road that Cao Bing finally cleared.  Cao Bing finally understood the intention of Shu Bing: to block the road for Cao Bing to leave the city and prevent Cao Bing from leaving the city.

    Cao Bing quickly sent out detective horses to report to Cao Cao, who was directing the battle at the north gate, asking for instructions whether to drive out of the city or wait for the Shu soldiers to attack?

    At this time, Cao Cao felt mixed joy and sorrow. What he was happy about was that the steel well gate of the Shu soldiers was gone. God helped him solve a personal problem.  What worries me is that General Xu Huang was stabbed in the thigh by a weapon from the steel well. Although his life is not in danger, his combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.

    Not long after the steel shaft collapsed, Li Hui ordered people to light burning incense in the steel pipes on the four pillars of the steel shaft. A thin hissing sound accompanied by four streams of green smoke came out of the steel pipes.

    A special command was shouted out in the military camp: "Open your mouth!"

    After hearing these three words, most of the soldiers understood what was about to happen, and they all opened their mouths in unison.  Concentrated.  These three words also floated vaguely to the top of the city with the north wind. Even Cao Bing heard it and didn't know what it meant.

    Only when the "hissing" sound reached their ears.  The smoke from the steel pipe was getting bigger and bigger, and when some people even smelled the pungent smell, they knew something. Although they were not sure, they seemed to feel the coming danger.

    A clever Cao Jun soldier finally opened his mouth and shouted in horror: "Gunpowder"

    But he only shouted two words. Strictly speaking, he only shouted one and a half words. The latter half of the word was covered up by another voice that was tens of thousands of times stronger than his shout.

    ¡°Boom ¨C¡± a loud noise suddenly sounded.  drown out all sounds.

    When the sound rang out, the earth seemed to be held by a giant like a sieve, and was lifted violently. Many people were thrown up, fell to the ground and fell under the city wall.  Even though the Shu soldiers received the "open your mouth" prompt in advance and were far away from the explosion point, many people were still knocked to the ground.

    Hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city witnessed a strange scene: a huge mushroom cloud rose from the explosion point, rising so high.  The biting north wind could not change its terrifying shape for a while.  Countless city stones, human bodies, and weapons were also thrown high

    The explosion of nearly 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder enabled people in Yumi City to see the glory of the mushroom cloud centuries in advance. However, this was not a happy thing. Many people paid the price with their lives because of seeing it.

    After this moment, except for the echo of the explosion, there was no other sound except for the sound of rocks, wood, and stumps thrown up by the explosion and then hitting the ground.  The Cao soldiers who were cheering and the Shu soldiers who were shouting stopped involuntarily, opened their mouths wide, and looked up at the mysterious "mushroom" with their eyes wide open.

    At this moment, no one noticed that a huge gap of more than 20 feet wide had been blown open in the north wall of Yumi City.  The people, objects, and walls on that section of the city wall have all turned into a pile of garbage and dust, and now the place is tightly covered by thick smoke.

    Poor General Xu Huang and the generals, soldiers, and subordinates around him were turned into pieces of meat and blood that could not be found.  Maybe God didn't want to see this generation of famous generals experience a second failure, so he took him away in advance.  He was broken in just that moment, and could not experience the pain and shame from birth to death.

    More than twenty feet away from the explosion point, General Wang Shuang, who was standing at the north city gate and commanding the battle, was also torn into many pieces by the gunpowder. Only his head and part of his left arm were still scattered on the city wall, and the rest of his body was destroyed by the air waves.  Rushed to where.

      Both sides of the battle conducted careful statistics afterwards, and were surprised to find that this unprecedented explosion directly caused the death of more than 5,600 people and injured more than 14,000 people.  More than 100 people have become mentally ill and unable to take care of themselves.  Of course, most of the losses were borne by Cao Bing.  Among the Shu soldiers far away from the explosion point, only the guards of the crowbar team suffered some losses: they were killed and injured by stones and corpses thrown at them.  The most unfortunate thing was that a soldier carrying a ladder in the middle army was pierced into the chest by a broken-handled spear thrown by the explosion and died.

    While Cao Bing was still in a daze, Shu Bing had already begun to charge.  The left and right armies led by Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Wu Tugu only paused for a moment.  Seeing the city wall collapse, he immediately directed the excited soldiers to rush into the gap.

    Only when the Shu soldiers rushed into the city, the shouts sounded again, and the city came to life: the loudest was the shouts of the Shu soldiers, but the screams of the Cao soldiers were the most noticeable.

    Not long after the Shu soldiers entered, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning's troops appeared on the east and west walls. They followed Liu Jia's order and quickly moved forward along the city wall. Many Cao soldiers who had not yet woken up became the Shu soldiers.  The ghost under the knife or the mud under the feet.

    Soon, the almost unguarded north gate was opened by the Shu soldiers who entered the city first.  Now the Shu soldiers entered the city faster.  Without a stick of incense, half of the northern city became a slaughterhouse for Shu soldiers.

    Cao Cao's three most famous generals: Xu Huang, Wang Shuang, and Cao Zhang lost two of them before the confrontation. Only Cao Zhang, who was weak in martial arts, was left to deal with it anxiously.  He was originally commanding soldiers on the city wall, but when Huang Zhong came up to kill him and he found Zhao Yun and Wei Yan charging south in the city, he did not bother to stop Huang Zhong's attack, because Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others were heading towards Cao Cao.  Kill the camp!  Now there are no powerful generals around Cao Cao. How can you tell him not to be anxious?

    There are no flags and the uniforms are in disarray.  Cao Zhang's body was covered in dirty blood, making it easy for Cao Zhang to escape Huang Zhong's attack.  When he rushed down the city and ran towards Cao Cao's camp, he met Wei Yan, who was capable of killing.

    Wei Yan slashed twice but failed to clean up the bloody man.  He knew that the man in front of him was no ordinary soldier.  Wei Yan shouted loudly: "Who are you? You can actually take Wei's two swords?"

    "Wei Yan traitor, don't be crazy. I will not change my name or surname, and so is Cao Zhang, the general under the command of King Wei!" Cao Zhang shouted loudly, while his movements did not slow down, and he used all his moves to fight with all his strength.

    "Haha, okay, okay. General Cao is in such a mess, why is he so desperate? Come, fight me, Wei, for ten more rounds." Wei Yan laughed.

    As soon as Cao Zhang said a good word, a Cao soldier ran over and said with a cry: "Cao General Cao, King Wei King Wei is injured. Now the Shu soldiers have killed him. Go and protect him."  !¡±

    Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this.  He immediately shouted: "Brothers, Cao Cao is injured. Let's fight over and capture the old thief Cao Cao alive!" At the same time, he raised his sword and slashed hard at Cao Zhang, saying: "Send your dog head for the time being, and Wei will capture Cao Cao."  also."

    Cao Zhang jumped to the side.  Not caring about scolding his men for the bad things, they hurried towards Cao Cao's camp.  Before he ran a few steps, a loud shout sounded like thunder in front of him: "Cao Zhang! You'd better protect yourself and watch the knife!"

    When Cao Zhang looked up, his heart immediately went cold: Zhao Yun and Wu Tu Gu, who had already been fighting to the east, heard that Cao Cao was injured nearby, so they immediately turned their horses to kill him.  Zhao Yun joined Wei Yan to attack Cao Cao's camp, while Wu Tu Gu took the initiative to stay and intercept the panicked Cao Zhang.

    The city is filled with the shouts of Shu soldiers. The shouts include instructions, encouraging words and simple reports of the situation. In short, they can boost morale: "Don't leave Cao Cao!", "Capture Cao Cao's thief alive!"

    "Xu Huang was killed by the bomb!", "Wang Shuang was killed by the bomb!"

    ¡­¡­

    When Zhao Yun and Wei Yan came to attack the camp, Cao Cao was still in the courtyard and did not come out.  When the explosion sounded.  Cao Cao was still happy that Gangjinglan fell.  Unexpectedly, suddenly the earth shook violently.  A large stone broke through the roof and fell down, hitting where Yang Xiu was sitting.  Yang Xiu, who was sitting by the fire, was smashed into meat patties, and the charcoal fire in the crowd was thrown up and scattered all over everyone. The unlucky Cao Cao was hit on the head by the charcoal stove and fainted quickly.  The loud explosions that came one after another were not heard.

    Other officials had no luck either. Not only were they burned by the red charcoal fire, but they were also stunned by the loud sound.  Moreover, these charcoal fires ignited the objects in the room, and a fire broke out here.

    After Cao Cao's personal guards finally understood what happened, they were busy putting out fires and rescuing people, while they went outside to capture the panicked military doctors who came to bandage and deal with it.  ?After such a delay, the Shu soldiers rushed over.

    In normal times, it would be difficult for Cao Bing to stop Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others from charging, and now that they are leaderless, they are even more unable to stop them.  In addition, the Shu soldiers knew that Cao Cao was right in front of them and had the opportunity to be rewarded for their meritorious service. Who wouldn't fight for it?  For a moment, Zhao Yun and others were like tigers among sheep, rushing towards their destination quickly.

    Cao Cao's personal soldiers, generals, guards and Cao Cao's iron soldiers also knew the critical situation. Some of them carried Cao Cao and others to retreat eastward, while others tried their best to intercept them.  However, Cao Bing's confidence was quickly destroyed by the Shu soldiers' gunpowder cans.  Round objects were thrown out by the Shu soldiers one by one. They flew to the Cao soldiers and made a loud noise. More than a dozen people around them were either dead or injured.

    The loud noise and the tragic scene of flying flesh and blood made Cao Bing shudder.  Most of Cao's soldiers turned around and ran away or surrendered on their knees, and the remaining dead soldiers were quickly killed by Zhao Yun and Wei Yan.  The unconscious Cao Cao fell into the hands of Shu soldiers so easily.  Of course, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Sima Yi, who were lying on the stretcher, also became prisoners obediently.

    When the news spread that Cao Cao and others were captured, Cao Bing's fighting spirit dropped like a roller coaster.  Countless soldiers were running around like headless flies.  When more people saw the Shu soldiers, they knelt down and shouted to surrender. The atmosphere of defeat spread from north to south in a very short time.

    Only the east gate was not blocked in time because Zhao Yun and Wutu Gu were busy catching Cao Cao. More than 40,000 Cao Cao soldiers ran out and they quickly headed towards Chang'an.

    At the South Gate and West Gate, almost no one left the city, allowing Li Yan to complete the task easily.  Knowing that Huang Zhong and Gan Ning's troops appeared on the city, Li Yan ordered his soldiers to enter the city and kill them.

    The 60,000 Cao Cao soldiers left here were unable to get orders from Cao Cao from time to time.  He didn't dare to leave the city without permission, when Huang Zhong and Gan Ning's troops came along the city wall.  He wanted to open the city gate and escape but it was too late.  The Shu soldiers smashed the gunpowder cans down, frightening the Cao soldiers who had no intention of fighting. When they realized that Cao Cao was captured, Xu Huang and Wang Shuang were killed, and Cao Zhang was chopped into two pieces by Wutu Bone, it was confirmed many times.  , they surrendered collectively.

    The fighting started in the morning and ended shortly after noon.  When more than 200,000 Cao soldiers and prisoners were escorted out of the city.  The remaining work in the city is to put out the fire, resettle the people and wounded soldiers, and bury the bodies.

    When Liu Jia saw the excited soldiers carrying Cao Cao, who was covered in blood, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment. He asked Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others several times: "Is it true? He is really Cao Cao.  ?Are you sure?"

    After many people nodded and confirmed that he was Cao Cao, Liu Jia quickly ordered the guards to find Hua Tuo and diagnose Cao Cao.  Liu Jia now really understands that during the Opium War, the Western powers' troops of only more than 10,000 people could kill hundreds of thousands of Qing troops and flee. They easily captured the capital and the Qing emperor abandoned the capital and officials and fled to Rehe in panic.  went.  In the end, he even lost his life.

    The news of the capture of the enemy leader immediately made the Shu camp excited.

    Cao Cao didn¡¯t wake up until the second dusk.  The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a young face. Seeing him waking up, the young man asked happily: "You finally woke up."

    Cao Cao rolled his eyes a few times and looked at the young man for a moment.  Then he sighed, closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them again.  He stared blankly at the roof of the tent.  I don't know how long it took before he asked calmly and casually: "Are you Liu Jia?"

    Liu Jia smiled softly and said, "Yes, I am Liu Jia."

    "You win." Cao Cao still looked up.

    "Yes, I won." Liu Jia said in agreement.

    At this point, the two of them unexpectedly laughed at the same time.  It's just that Cao Cao smiled slightly bitterly, while Liu Jia couldn't help but laugh happily.

    After Liu Jia stopped laughing, Cao Cao said calmly: "Please bury me under the city of Wei Mi."

    "No!" Liu Jiadao.

    "This is the only thing I ask you, King of Shu." Cao Cao said weakly, with determination in his eyes.

    Liu Jia shook his head: "King Wei still has a lot of things to do. Why do you think of death as soon as you wake up?"

    Cao Cao said: "You have to know that if I catch you, you will definitely be cut into pieces by me."

    "Haha. Wasn't this king not captured by you?"  Liu Jia smiled and said, "You know, we spent a lot of energy to save you, King Wei. Mr. Hua Tuo said, King Wei, you have a big sarcoma in your head. Does King Wei often have headaches? If not,  It will cure the headaches that will feel like they are about to burst in the future. Mr. Hua took advantage of this opportunity to help you remove the sarcoma. The injury on your head can be healed in just over a month of rest. It can be said that this time you were hit by something.  Being hit in the head can be regarded as the greatest blessing among King Wei's misfortunes."

    "Then I still want to thank the King of Shu?" Cao Cao said, acquiescing.Headache in front of the head.

    "That's not necessary. If you want to thank you, you should thank Mr. Hua Tuo. Mr. Hua is very skilled in his craftsmanship. He opened the skull of King Wei and treated his illness. Everyone was sweating for him." Liu Jia said, turning to look at  Hua Tuo, who was standing nearby, smiled.

    Cao Cao was noncommittal.

    Pang Tong, who was next to him, saw this and said quickly: "We have indeed been worried about Mr. Hua for a long time. At that time, Mr. Hua said that only by uncovering the skull can the disease of King Wei be cured. All the doctors did not want to take this risk. Pang also said that as long as the disease was cured,  This trauma will be fine. But the King of Shu said that if he wants to cure it, he must treat it thoroughly. He said to Mr. Hua that since he has said that the craniotomy can be used to treat the disease, he must be certain. If it is cured, we, the King of Shu, will treat it with  However, if the disease is cured, not only Mr. Hua will be buried with King Wei, but also our King of Shu will cut off his hair to atone for his sins. In the end, both our King of Shu and Mr. Hua issued military orders. Fortunately, King Wei's illness was completely cured.  .¡±

    Cao Cao showed a little surprise on his face. He said to the confident Hua Tuo: "I thank you." After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to everyone.

    Liu Jia waved to the people around him to follow him out of the tent where Cao Cao was recovering, leaving only a few doctors who took care of Cao Cao's daily life.  Before leaving the tent, Liu Jia and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, knowing that no matter what, Cao Cao would accept this love: Hua Tuo, as Liu Jia's most valued doctor, held a high official position, except for Pang Tong, Xu Shu and other counselors and Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong  When the first-class generals are in front of him, he will be the most noble.  Now for you, Cao Cao, a prisoner of war, Liu Jia dared to ask Hua Tuo to issue a military order to be buried with him, and he also made an oath to cut off his hair and make amends.  Although this does not rule out the element of showmanship, on the surface it seems that Liu Jia still cares about Cao Cao's life.

    Before the group of people entered Liu Jia's camping tent, a spy horse hurriedly ran over and said: "Report to the King of Shu, General Ma Chao is leading his cavalry and escorting 30,000 prisoners of Cao's army towards Wei Mi City!"

    Liu Jia said excitedly when he heard this: "Great! When will it arrive?"
