Chapter 520: Breakup

The Zhao army adopted a pure human wave tactic, bullying the small number of guards in Shannan City. Such a strategy of comprehensive attack without distinguishing between the primary and the secondary would cause relatively large casualties to the attackers, but as long as there was a breakthrough, the entire city wall would be lost. Moreover, Feng Fayong knew that Gao Yuan had set up an ambush for him. In the fierce fight between the two sides, Feng Fayong's mind was not actually on the attack and defense of the city wall. Such an attack actually did not require any command, and it was purely a rhythm of beating the master to death with random punches.

Feng Fayong had been thinking about what Gao Yuan had set up.

Immediately, he knew what the backhand was, because there was a sudden deafening shout of killing in the city, and Feng Fayong even heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the city as urgent as thunder.

There were actually spies of Gao Yuan in the city, and they were cavalry, a large number of cavalry. At this moment, Feng Fayong was petrified on the spot. Gao Yuan, how did he do this?

Feng Fayong was stunned, and so was Sun Aobo. He turned around and looked at the streets below the city. Teams of cavalrymen were rushing in at lightning speed. The Qin people who blocked their way were mercilessly chopped to the ground. One of them went straight to the city gate, while the other actually stepped on the steps to the battle and killed directly into the city.

The Zhao army below the city cheered in unison. They saw that the Qin army guarding the city suddenly became a mess, and saw the cavalrymen galloping back and forth on the city wall, killing and slashing. The soldiers who were attacking the city felt that they had a lot of energy in their bodies in an instant. They bravely climbed up, jumped onto the city wall, and joined the ranks of attacking the Qin army. In just a few breaths, the city defense system that was originally well-defended was suddenly riddled with holes.

Sun Aobo looked at the rumbling city gate and the drawbridge that fell down, and closed his eyes in despair. He recognized the cavalry general who was madly slashing and killing on the city. These days. Cao Tianci went in and out of the county governor's mansion, and Sun Aobo had seen it several times. Now he understood that everything was a trap.

The Qin army outside the city must have been completely destroyed, and the Qin military power in Shannan County was up to this moment. There was no trace left. He laughed wildly, raised the blood-dripping saber, put it on his neck, and shouted: "The king will avenge us."

The steel knife was tightened inward, blood splattered, and Sun Aobo's figure fell from the city like a stone, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Shannan County was broken.

Lu Chao was only tied up, unlike other county governor's officials who were tied up, tied up, and thrown into the hall without dignity. He was locked up alone in a small flower hall, and two soldiers of the Zhengdong Army with knives stood at the door to guard him. There was another person in the small flower hall, that was Lu Chao's mother, Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu was crying from the moment of the incident. From the time the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army rushed into the backyard,

tied up all the servants, and brought her and Lu Bin to this small flower hall. Seeing her tied up son, she understood everything.

From the time she revealed that she wanted to leave Liaoxi and come to reunite with her son, a huge conspiracy began to be planned. When she set off, it was the time for this conspiracy to start.

What horse bandit attacks, what protection to come to Shannan County, everything is a false appearance. Gao Yuan wanted to use her identity to bring these soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army into Shannan City.

I destroyed the foundation that my son had worked so hard to build with my own hands. His career, I am afraid, will end here. The extremely harsh laws of the Qin people destined his son to be severely punished.

Mrs. Lu suddenly felt that she was ridiculous. Why think so much? Now her family has fallen into Gao Yuan's hands. What is the use of the Qin people's laws?

Now she just hoped that Gao Yuan would spare Lu Chao's life for the sake of their past friendship, but could Chao'er, who was so strong, accept this humiliating fate?

From the moment he saw Lu Chao, he had been closing his eyes, not saying a word, and sitting there like a zombie. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling slightly, Mrs. Lu would have doubted whether her son was still alive.

The shouts and screams in the city were getting weaker and weaker. Obviously, the Zhao army had entered the city and put out any possible resistance. Shannan City had completely fallen into the hands of the Zhao army.

Outside the small flower hall, footsteps sounded, and the two guards at the door moved aside. Cao Tianci appeared at the door, paused for a moment, walked in, walked to Mrs. Lu, bowed, and turned directly to Lu Chao without saying a word.

"Master Lu!" Cao Tianci said, "The city of Shannan County has been broken, and the Zhao army has entered the city."

Lu Chao's body trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, "Are General He Yangguang and the others dead?"

"Yes!" Cao Tianci nodded, "We escorted the old lady here. The horse bandits that harassed along the way were all cavalrymen of our Zhengdong Army. The real horse bandits had been cleared by us in the early stage. Our goal was to lure He Yangguang to lead the cavalry to help. We had a total of 3,000 cavalrymen here, so General He Yangguang's 1,000 cavalrymen were surrounded by us and all died on the battlefield. Then our army cooperated with the Zhao army and raided the 3,000 infantrymen. Finally, the Zhao army set up an ambush again and defeated the 2,000 reinforcements led by Zhou Cheng. With our support, Zhou Cheng only led dozens of people to break through. Of course, you saw the final result."

Lu Chao's body trembled violently, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's all me, it's all because of me that led to the current situation. I deserve to die, I deserve to die."

"Master Lu!" Cao Tianci took a step forward and put his hand on Lu Chao's shoulder.

"Call me Lu Sima. I am Sima Luchao from the South County of Daqin Mountain." Lu Chao bulged his eyes and stared at Cao Tianci fiercely.

Cao Tianci frowned, released his hands, took a step back, and looked at Lu Chao, "Okay, Lu Sima, in fact, even if there was no such thing as the old lady, He Yangguang would not be able to escape our joint attack with Zhao Guo. This matter , at best it only makes it easier for us to break through Shannan County."

"Why don't you kill me?" Lu Chao looked at Cao Tianci and asked coldly.

"Chao'er!" Mrs. Lu shouted in horror.

Cao Tianci shook his head, "From the beginning to the end, General Gao never thought of killing you. General Gao said that he hoped that Lu Sima could return to western Liaoning, and that your talents would be enough to do something big with him. Since you were young, you have We are brothers. General Lu is like his father. The general hopes that you can still be like you were in the past."

Lu Chao burst into laughter, "What a brotherly relationship. Even my mother, a helpless woman, wants to take advantage of her. Gao Yuan still has the nerve to say this. People, you can't be so shameless!" "

Cao Tianci was silent for a moment: "General Gao said, I hope you can understand his difficulties. If Tongshannan County is allowed to develop and grow, one day, the Qin people will take action against him. For the future of the Eastern Army, he has to take action. This The two countries are at war, so there is no friendship, but his feelings for the Lu family have never changed, and he hopes you can go back. "

Lu Chao spat on the ground, "Go and tell Gao Yuan, either kill me cleanly, I have nothing to complain about, or let me go. I am the Sima of Nanjun, Daqin Mountain. I will do this in my life." If you don’t die, you will definitely regard him as your biggest enemy, and your ultimate goal will be to kill him throughout your life.”

"Master Lu!" Cao Tianci shouted sharply, "Please don't make a mistake."

Lu Chao laughed miserably, "Go away, just say this to Gao Yuan, hahaha, he sent you to say this to me, are you afraid to face me? Are you afraid to see my mother? Or not?" If you dare to face my father’s ashes, get out!”

Cao Tianci put his hand on the handle of the knife, hesitated for a moment, and finally stamped his feet heavily, turned around, and rushed out. "Keep an eye on them." He said to the guard at the door.

"Chao'er!" Mrs. Lu burst into tears, "I hurt you! It would be better if I didn't come to your place."

"No, mother!" Lu Chao shook his head, "Since Gao Yuan has come up with this idea, even if you don't want to come, he can still find ways to persuade you to come."

"Master, you can pretend to agree to him first, and then wait for an opportunity to escape." Lu Bin also regretted it, "I didn't expect that Gao Yuan, who I have taken care of for decades, would be such a white-eyed wolf."

"I would rather die standing than live on my knees. I will not bow to Gao Yuan, even if I am pretending." Lu Chao said sternly: "Steward Lu, don't mention this kind of thing in the future."

The small flower hall fell into silence, leaving only the sound of Mrs. Lu's slight sobs.

After nightfall, the sound of footsteps sounded again outside, and Cao Tianci reappeared in front of Lu Chao and others, followed by several guards.

"Untie!" He waved his hand, and the guards rushed forward and untied Lu Chao and Lu Bin. Lu Chao stood up, rubbed his wrists lightly, and looked at Cao Tianci coldly.

Cao Tianci also glared at him fiercely, "Take them away."

Two guards stepped forward and lifted the big chair where Mrs. Lu was sitting. The rest stepped forward, embraced Lu Chao and Lu Bin, and headed out. Lu Bin's face turned pale. Was he going to be beheaded? When Lu Chao sternly rejected Cao Tianci, Lu Bin felt that Lu's road was coming to an end.

The group of people did not stay in the city, but went straight to the outside of the city. There, a convoy consisting of dozens of carriages was parked, and the soldiers standing on both sides of the convoy were killed in this siege. captured Qin soldiers.

Mrs. Lu was put into a carriage at the front. Next to the carriage, a person stood quietly. Seeing that person, Lu Chao's eyes suddenly burned with anger, and he just wanted to rush over. Suffocate that person to death.

That person is naturally Gao Yuan.
