Chapter 447
Seeing Cheng Yu's appearance, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing proudly.
This time, in order to ensure the success of his plan, he was able to win the Jianmen Pass with full confidence. His real plan was never told to anyone, even Cheng Yu, his confidant military adviser.
At the beginning, he ordered people to lengthen the ladder in the depths of the camp, which was to make everyone think that the ladder was one of the keys to his capture of Jianmen pass.
But Cao Cao never thought of storming Jianmen Pass.
This is very difficult, even at that time Yang Xuangan had already attacked the tower, Cao Cao did not waver in the slightest.
He knew that there must be a backhand hidden in Jianmen Pass, and his real strength was definitely not put on the bright side by Yan Yan.
For example, the [-] elite troops who followed Zhan Ren to attack the battalion were full of physical strength and strong combat power. They were obviously not the Yizhou army that resisted them on the tower for days.
He didn't dare to bet that Wang Xuance's Dongzhou Corps and Liu Bei's army were rushing here non-stop. He didn't know when they would suddenly kill them. Cao Cao had to win Jianmen Pass today to be at ease.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to risk his life and safety, and deliberately exposed himself to the bow and arrows of the Yizhou Army when the army was attacking the city in the most chaotic time.
Although Cao Cao was very crazy, he was fully prepared for this, after all, his life was the most fundamental.
Even though the heart guard and soft armor were fully worn, when Zhang Ren shot that arrow, he still felt a chill of death.
This is also the reason why he wants to hide it from everyone, not only because he is afraid that they will show his flaws after they know the plan, but also because Cao Cao knows that they will never agree with him to risk his own safety.
In the end, Cao Cao's bet succeeded. Both Yan Yan and Zhang Ren thought that he was attacked by Zhang Yiren's arrow and was seriously injured. His life and death were unknown.
After all, everyone knows that without Cao Cao's personal conquest, the morale of Cao's army must be low, and no matter how much they spend, it is impossible for them to capture Jianmen Pass before Liu Bei and Wang Xuance arrive.
Therefore, instead of staying here to waste food, Cao Jun was even killed by Yizhou soldiers gathering forces, it would be better to retreat early.
Afterwards, Cao Cao deliberately made arrangements to dispel the last trace of suspicion from Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, thinking that their camp was empty, so that the two finally decided to go out to attack the camp and expand the results of the battle.
After all, few people could resist Cao Cao's temptation.
But what Cao Cao wanted in the end was not just to capture Zhang Renhe alive and kill the five thousand Yizhou elites.
As early as when Zhang Ren attacked the camp, Cao Cao had already ordered Wang Yanzhang to lead the army secretly, pretending to be a trick of the Yizhou army who had been chased and killed by Cao Jun, and fled to Jianmenguan to pretend to open the city gate.
Cao Ying's tent was on fire, and now it has been slowly controlled by Cao Jun.
This big fire is very important, because Yan Yan can also see this big fire at Jianmen Pass.
He must be able to deduce based on the situation of the fire that Zhang Renxian set fire to the camp after a sneak attack.
But now that the fire was quickly extinguished, they could only do so if their Cao army succeeded in counterattacking, while the Yizhou army could only flee in defeat.
Yan Yan had long been disturbed by Cao Cao's suspicious tactics, and he didn't think too much about it at this critical moment. He would definitely put the "Yizhou Army" that Cao Jun was chasing after him into the pass.
At that time, Wang Yanzhang violently launched an attack. As long as the city gate is under control, no matter how dangerous the terrain of Jianmen Pass is, there is nothing that can stop Cao Jun.
"Let's go, we will take a good rest in Jianmen pass tonight."
Cao Cao smiled coldly, the fishing nets had been cast lonely for so long, and it was time to grandly enjoy the joy of the harvest.
Cheng Yu laughed loudly when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly.
The generals of Cao Ying were still a little puzzled, and they hadn't discovered anything about Cao Cao's secret plan.
Even Yang Xuangan, he was ordered by Cao Cao to withdraw secretly tonight.
Only Cao Ren looked at Cao Cao with fiery eyes.
He was a crucial part of it. He was the key to deceiving Zhang Ren into Cao Ying and preventing him from escaping back to Jianmen Pass to report the news to Yan Yan and destroy Wang Yanzhang's plan to defraud the family. Therefore, he was fortunate to know a little bit about it.
The more he knows, the more he admires Cao Cao.
Under the night sky, the dark clouds began to slowly disperse, and a full moon freely exuded a soft brilliance.
It's just that for many people, this moonlight is not in the mood to appreciate it.
Yan Yan's face was full of anxiety, and he kept waving the big knife in his hand. There were no more Cao soldiers who fell at his feet.
His gray beard was already soaked in strands by the enemy's blood, just like the big knife he swung, it was no longer elegant as time passed.
"Yan Yan, why do you resist desperately? Jianmen Pass has changed hands. If you continue to fight like this, you will only kill more Yizhou soldiers!"
Wang Yanzhang had two guns in his hands, he couldn't bear to see Yan Yan who was still fighting to the death, and he didn't make a move for a long time.
The sword door was closed and covered with corpses.
The city walls were soaked in blood, broken arrows and broken weapons were all over the ground, and broken rocks and broken armor could be seen everywhere, which testified to the fact that a fierce battle broke out here.
After Wang Yanzhang cheated to open the city gate, Yan Yan regretted again and again, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he led a group of old, weak and wounded soldiers to fight Cao Jun desperately.
The Yizhou Army's counterattack seemed powerless and tragic. Cao Jun recharged his energy and had a strong general like Wang Yanzhang. Yan Yan fought hard until now, and only he and less than a few hundred soldiers were left standing.
"Stop talking nonsense, as long as Yan Yan is here, Jianmen will never be lost!"
Yan Yan roared tragically, raised his machete to kill Wang Yanzhang with an angry look on his face.
"kill!"
None of the remaining hundreds of Yizhou remnants retreated. They also shouted loudly and launched their last attack on Cao Jun on the land of Yizhou where they had lived for generations.
"Loyalty? Why bother!"
Wang Yanzhang stopped persuading, and whispered sadly.
Two iron guns suddenly pierced the night sky, Wang Yanzhang gave an order, Cao Jun faced the Yizhou soldiers who rushed over, no mercy, and fought with them with all their strength!
Wang Yanzhang knew that people like Yan Yan couldn't be persuaded, he was a respectable opponent, and Wang Yanzhang would use the most respectful way to send him through this final journey.
After a while of charging without any suspense, the broken sword was covered with blood and fell heavily on the dilapidated battlefield, losing its glory of killing enemies and bandits in the past.
The blood on the blade fell drop by drop, every drop was very sticky and reluctant to part with.
Wang Yanzhang put away his two guns, got off his horse, stood beside him for a long time without saying a word, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Contain his body and weapons well."
Wang Yanzhang was also very old, and he felt a little sad, feeling like a rabbit died and a fox was sad.
Whether one day, he will die on the battlefield like Yan Yan, and no one cares about it.
He didn't want someone to collect his body after he died in battle one day, so he asked the soldiers to bury Yan Yan properly.
Although this veteran did not hold Jianmen Pass in the end, he used his life to guard the dignity of the Yizhou Army.
