Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

In the north of the city, the Cai family camp.

After Jingxiang was pacified, the Cai family and the Kuai family had made great contributions and held heavy troops. Although Liu Biao was wary of them, he did not dare to fall out with them.

Therefore, this group of less than [-] people has always been controlled by Cai Mao.

During this period, Cai Mao had been busy at home with the wedding ceremony, so he handed over all the rights in the general to his clan brother Cai Zhong.

Although Cai Zhong was not as capable as Cai Mao, he was extremely obedient. After receiving the order, he ordered the entire battalion to stand ready. The guards standing guard at the door and the patrol team doubled.

Early this morning, all the soldiers in the Cai family camp smelled an unusual smell.

They found that tens of thousands of troops led by Wenpin surrounded the camp. Although they did not attack, they were already tense.

After Cai Zhong received the news, he immediately rode out, looked at Wenpin at the front of the army, and said loudly: "Wenpin, what do you mean?"

"Why did you send troops to surround my camp?"

"Are you going to rebel?"

Wenpin smiled calmly, raised his spear, and shook his head repeatedly: "Master Zhou Mu has an order. Today is the day of your marriage to the Cai family. On the wedding day, the entire army is not allowed to move out at will."

"Those who disobey orders will be subject to military law and will be killed without mercy!!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of catapults and more than ten thousand archers aimed at the Cai family camp with bows and arrows.

The faces of countless soldiers in the camp changed drastically, and their eyes were full of annoyance and confusion.

Cai Zhong's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that just when his side was about to start taking action, Wenpin would occupy a strategic position.

If you go out at this moment, you will undoubtedly become the target of the archers, not to mention that the gap between the two sides is not small.

But he cannot disobey his brother's orders, otherwise the Cai family will be in danger.

"Wenpin, you conspired to rebel and falsely conveyed Lord Zhou Mu's orders. You deserve death!"

"I don't believe you really dare to do it!"

"Brothers, fight out of the camp and don't let Wenpin's conspiracy succeed."

After a brief hesitation, the tens of thousands of soldiers still chose to obey Cai Zhong's order. But as soon as he made a move, Wenpin narrowed his eyes and waved his big hand: "Fire the arrow, fire the arrow!!"

"whoosh whoosh"

Arrows rained from the sky and flew towards the Cai family camp.

The soldiers who had not yet moved quickly raised their shields.

"Ding Ding Ding"

There was a crisp sound of impact. Although the shield bearers had been prepared, dozens of people were still injured by the bows and arrows.

Wenpin's cold voice sounded again: "This is just a warning. If you come forward again, the catapult will be launched."

"How can the shield in your hands withstand the force of the stone?"

"As long as you don't leave the camp today, everything will be the same tomorrow. No matter who rebels, it has nothing to do with you."

"Otherwise, I, Wenpin, will show no mercy!!"

Wenpin's cold voice spread throughout the camp, and the soldiers who were already in awe of Wenpin calmed down again.

"General Cai, we are all Jingzhou soldiers, how can we kill each other?"

"That's right. Although I don't get along with Wenpin on weekdays, I can't fight head-to-head."

"Keep it up, keep it up!!"

Hearing the persuasive voices of several local generals and lieutenants, Cai Zhong frowned and lowered his voice: "You know what the heck, now Prime Minister Cao's army of more than [-] is eyeing the city. As long as Liu Biao is killed and the gates of Xiangyang are opened, we people People get rewards."

"As we stay in the camp now, do we really think that Liu Biao will show mercy to us in the future?"

"We can only fight our way out and open the city gate, otherwise."

Cai Zhong didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very clear.

Several captains looked at each other in confusion. After a brief silence, their eyes were full of fighting spirit: "I am willing to follow General Cai to fight out."

Cai Zhong nodded: "Look at my signal. The shield bearer is in front, and the cavalry then charges and swarms up." Several captains held their fists and saluted, and each prepared.

Cai Zhong looked at Wenpin not far away and said loudly: "General Wenpin, there is no deep hatred between us, and there is no need to fight to the death."

"Now that Liu Biao is gone, why do you have to sacrifice your life for him?"

"Do you know what the current situation is like?"

"Prime Minister Cao's army of more than [-] people outside the city can enter the city with just one order."

"Even if you are staring at my team and the Kuai family's team in the city, how can you block Huo Jun's team?"

"In the end, Xiangyang City will still fall into the hands of the imperial court."

"We are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, why should we kill each other?"

Wenpin was stunned and frowned slightly. He really didn't know what Cai Zhong said. He was guarding the Kuai family, but what about Cao's army outside the city?

Can Zhang Yun keep an eye on Huo Jun?
  Although he was worried, Wenpin knew that at this time, he should not panic. If he got into chaos, where would the morale of the soldiers be?
  "Don't utter wild words. Xiangyang City is impregnable. Mr. Zhou Mu of the Kuai family has already made arrangements."

"Soldiers, bows and arrows are bent. Anyone who steps out of the camp will be killed without mercy!!"

As Wenpin's order was issued, more than ten thousand archers outside the camp were ready again.

The two sides faced off for a quarter of an hour, and the original murderous intent was diluted a lot.

But just when Wenpin's entire army was relaxed, Cai Zhong gritted his teeth and shouted: "Kill out, kill!!"

With the roar falling to the ground, countless shield bearers came out first. At the same time, thousands of cavalry came out from the left and right sides, and more than [-] infantrymen pressed forward.

"Archers, shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!!"

"whoosh whoosh"

Countless arrows flew towards the crowd like raindrops.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The screams continued.

Cai Zhong looked at the soldiers who fell to the ground with a gloomy face. Although he was anxious, he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and command the army to charge.

The battle entered a fierce stage as soon as it started.

Although Wenpin has advantages, it is not as big as imagined. After all, the terrain here is narrow and the numerical advantage cannot be used at all.

The sound of fighting became more and more fierce, and soldiers from both sides fell to the ground every minute and every second.

Countless corpses and countless streams of blood gathered together, staining the floor tiles red. From a distance, it looked like purgatory on earth.

Cai Zhong was distressed, and Wenpin was equally distressed, but they had no choice.

Even if both sides suffer losses, there is no possibility for them to retreat.

"My soldiers are ready, follow me to capture Cai Zhong."

Wenpin gritted his teeth and yelled loudly.

Now if we want to end the war quickly, we can only capture the thief first. Otherwise, no one can tell how many people will be lost if we persist.

And there are more than [-] Cao Cao troops outside the city. How can he use all his strength on internal friction?

But just as his voice sounded, there was another earth-shattering sound of horse hooves and footsteps.

An unpleasant feeling lingered in Wenpin's mind.

This team was not in last night's plan. If it was not from their side, it could only be the enemy.

The back-up man of the Cai family or the Kuai family?

But where did they come from?
  How could there be so many?
  On the flank where the two armies were fighting, tens of thousands of troops appeared, with the leaders Cai Mao and Kuai Yue riding on their horses?
  Cai Mao's face was filled with a proud smile: "Wenpin, you didn't expect that, did you?"
