Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1237 Bloody Battle

Yang Feng held the gun and looked towards the west gate. If he walked another three miles along this avenue, he would reach the west city gate.

But now she couldn't move forward because she encountered Xu Chu who was returning.

Given the current chaos in the city, the encounter between the two parties was an accident. After all, Cao Cao would not set fire on the route of his retreat from the city to the west gate, so naturally this route was the safest.

Yang Feng was originally leading his men to launch a sneak attack, but fires broke out everywhere in the city. The servants of the noble families had never seen such a scene before, and as they saw the fire getting bigger and bigger, they fled in panic. In the end, only a few dozen spies from the Procuratorate were left under Yang Feng's command.

But such a small number of people could not form an effective fighting force, so Yang Feng had to gather people and find a safe direction to break out. As a result, while walking, he met Yang Xiu, Ding Yi, Cao Qing and others who were also fleeing in a panic.

After Cao Qing explained the situation, Yang Feng learned that Ding Yi had defected and taken Cao Zhi with him. He could not help but sneer, "Ding Chong's son is really unreliable."

When Ding Yi, who was standing next to him, heard this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He quickly lowered his head to hide the expression on his face.

Yang Feng saw that almost everyone around Yang Xiu and others had escaped, and they were unable to protect themselves in this situation, so he asked a few people to follow him to find a way out.

Everyone was looking for a way out in the raging fire and finally found that the fire in the west was smaller. Although they knew that Cao's army was guarding that side, they had to rush over because of the fire. After all, if the fire got bigger, everyone would die here.

When the group approached the west gate in a panic, the fire around them really began to get smaller. When they were rejoicing that they had finally escaped, Xu Chu and his men rushed out from the side.

Xu Chu was also quite unlucky. He had followed Ding Yi to look for Cao Qing, and the secret order he received was to kill everyone except Cao Qing on the spot. As a result, he did not find Cao Qing, but just killed Ding Yi.

Later, when Xu Chu retreated, he delayed some time. Just then, the Jin army entered the city and the Wei army set fire. The horse under Xu Chu was frightened and ran into the fire. His soldiers also scattered. By the time Xu Chu found a way to escape, only a few of his men were left.

He also fled westward with his men. Yang Feng saw a Wei general with a wounded knee riding towards him in the distance, so he rushed up with his men.

Although Xu Chu was in a miserable state, he still had some strength left. He roared, swung the sword in his hand, and immediately cut off the heads of the two spies in front of him. Then he turned around and slashed at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng was shocked and quickly drew her gun back to block. With a bang, the huge force knocked her away several feet.

She knelt on the ground in embarrassment. Although she was inferior to Xu Chu in strength, she was not in such a miserable state. The main reason was that she had been fighting all night and her strength was gone. Although Xu Chu injured his knee, he could still use strength with his arms, so he injured Yang Feng with one blow.

Xu Chu laughed and said, "I am injured, but it is not your turn to take advantage of me!"

Yang Feng slowly stood up with the iron spear. She knew that she had met a tough opponent, but she did not feel fear in her heart. Instead, she felt a little excited.

She knew that she was going to die soon. In her opinion, being able to fight to the death with the enemy's masters before her death was an opportunity given by God. It didn't matter whether she died early or late.

She swung her spear, lowered her head and rushed towards Xu Chu.

When Xu Chu saw Yang Feng rushing towards him, a scornful smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately rode his horse to meet Yang Feng. He did not say that it was unfair for cavalry to defeat infantry, after all, he could only fight on horseback. What he had to do now was to kill all the enemies standing in his way!
With a clang, the spear and the sword collided, and Yang Feng was knocked out again. She felt an unusual tightness in her chest and abdomen, and immediately opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yang Feng rolled twice on the ground, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Xu Chu riding his horse towards him, so he was knocked over and rolled into the stinky ditch on the side of the road.

After Xu Chu rushed over and made his horse turn around, Yang Feng climbed out of the ditch in a mess, her body covered with dirt, but her face still showed fighting spirit. She stared at Xu Chu, slowly raised her spear, then took a deep breath, and her face instantly turned red.

She felt the blood in her body surging rapidly, and her body seemed to have become a lot lighter. She raised her foot and rushed towards Xu Chu again at an extremely fast speed.

In a moment, the sound of intensive weapons clashing rang out. Yang Feng ran around Xu Chu in circles so fast that his body almost left an afterimage. Xu Chu swung his sword several times, but all his attacks missed.

He realized that Yang Feng took advantage of his inability to turn around on horseback and shot at a blind spot, so he swung his sword and blocked the gap behind him and to his side, then tried to counterattack.

But there was a puff sound, and Yang Feng squatted down, stabbed the warhorse's calf with his spear, and the warhorse turned around in pain, and was about to throw Xu Chu off.

Xu Chu quickly clamped the horse's belly, exerted force with both arms, and chopped down at Yang Feng's forehead. Yang Feng had no way to avoid it, so he had to turn sideways and raise the spear upright.

The blade hit the gun barrel, and the gun barrel hit Yang Feng's side heavily. There were a few cracking sounds, and several of Yang Feng's ribs were broken, and he was knocked flying.

Yang Feng flew out in the air. His spies were fighting against Xu Chu and his guards. Now seeing Yang Feng in danger, they all rushed over to rescue him.

Xu Chu rode his horse forward and killed several spies who were blocking his way. In the distance, Yang Feng fell to the ground. She got up and saw this scene. A look of determination appeared on her face. She took a deep breath, her face turned red again, and at the same time, she pulled the fuse on the bamboo tube behind her without making a sound.

Xu Chu rode forward, with the bloodstained sword in his hand, and slashed at Yang Feng in the waist. Yang Feng stepped forward and lowered his body, and the blade brushed past his scalp, cutting off a large clump of hair.

However, she rushed to Xu Chu in this critical moment, changed her long spear into a short spear, and stabbed Xu Chu in the side. Xu Chu was unable to pull back the knife, so he quickly turned the handle upside down and hit Yang Feng hard in the chest.

Yang Feng was knocked sideways. This time she was in the air and her whole body lost consciousness. Then she fell heavily to the ground and lay there motionless.

However, Xu Chu was not happy at all, because he suddenly discovered that there was a smoking bamboo tube hanging on his armor!

He pulled twice but failed to budge. He looked carefully and found that there was a lock on the bamboo tube, which was fastened to the iron wire of his armor and he could not get it off for a while!

Xu Chu naturally knew what the bamboo tube was for. He tried to pull it off after a few attempts. Seeing the fuse burn out, he roared and raised his hands to protect his head and face. The next moment, the bamboo tube exploded, turning the horse under his crotch into a sieve. Although Xu Chu had armor to block it, the armor was also blown apart, and countless iron beads shot into his body.

Xu Chu lay heavily on the ground with the dead horse. He began to lose consciousness, but he knew that if he lost consciousness at this moment, he would really die!

He struggled to get up, used his long sword as a crutch, and limped towards the west gate. Yang Feng's spies wanted to stop him, but were stopped by Xu Chu's spies at the risk of their lives. They saw Xu Chu disappear around the corner.

The spies killed the last few guards of Xu Chu and wanted to come to rescue Yang Feng, but Yang Feng said, "Go and chase them, don't worry about me."

After hearing this, the spies had no choice but to chase Xu Chu. Yang Feng took several breaths before he fumbled to sit up.

She felt that she had no strength left in her body, so she had to move to sit next to the earth wall, gasping for breath and smiling bitterly in her heart. Although the victory was unfair, there was no fairness in a fight between infantry and cavalry.

At this time, Cao Qing, Yang Xiu and others who were watching the battle from a distance dared to slowly approach. Cao Qing asked, "General Yang, do you need help?"

Yang Feng said, "Don't worry about me. Go to where the fire is smaller. The Jin army will be here soon."

After hearing this, Cao Qing and the others had to look for a place to hide, while Ding Yi, who was at the back, stared at the spear on the ground thoughtfully.

Yang Zheng was escorting Cao Qing in front, but he found that Ding Yi had not caught up. He turned around and saw Ding Yi picking up the spear and slowly walking towards Yang Feng. He subconsciously called out: "Zhengli, what are you doing?"

Yang Feng was in a daze when she saw someone approaching with a gun. She thought for a moment that an enemy was coming and wanted to stand up, but her body was completely out of control.

When she heard Yang Xiu's call, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face, and she looked up and stared at Ding Yi.

Ding Yi's eyes were red, he raised his spear tremblingly and pointed it at Yang Feng's face.

Cao Qing heard the voice and turned around. Seeing Ding Yi holding a gun, he shouted, "Ding Yi, what do you want to do?"

Ding Yi turned his head with a grim expression, "What?"

"My father's hatred is irreconcilable, so of course I have to take revenge!"

He immediately aimed at Yang Feng's face and stabbed. Yang Feng barely turned his head. With a puff, the tip of the gun pierced into Yang Feng's shoulder several inches deep and blood gushed out.

Ding Chong seemed to have gained confidence. He raised the tip of the gun and stabbed again. This time he stabbed Yang Feng in the chest. After a few more shots, Yang Feng had several more wounds on his body.

At this time, Cao Qing and Yang Xiu rushed over and tried to stop Ding Chong. Cao Qing shouted, "Ding Chong, you are crazy!"

"Aren't you afraid that King Jin will investigate you for doing this?"

Ding Chong's eyes were red. He waved his spear to force the two men apart and shouted, "What King Jin!"

"My father was killed in Huaicheng. Wasn't it the King of Jin who did it?"

"I know they are from the Jin Army Procuratorate. They were the ones who killed my father in Huaicheng!"

"I'm avenging my father, and the Han law allows it. I'm doing this justifiably!"

Yang Xiu frowned and said, "But this is when we surrender to the King of Jin, and you do this..."

Ding Yi yelled, "I don't care!"

"You have high positions and generous salaries, and your ideal husband, but what do I have?"

"You guys go now, I'm going to kill those murderers of my father this time!"

Cao Qing's face was gloomy. She could see that Ding Yi was determined to go his own way, but from her point of view, since she was ready to betray Cao Cao, then Madam Ding and Cao Ang on Yuan Xi's side were her only destinations. Now that Ding Yi did such a thing, what should she do in the future?
Seeing Ding Yi's crazy look, Cao Qing didn't want to provoke him anymore. At the same time, she muttered in her heart, this female general didn't seem to play an important role under Xiong Hu, so she shouldn't implicate herself, right?

Cao Qing suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen this woman in the inner house when she was in Shouchun. At that time, she seemed to have spoken for her. Thinking of this, she said, "Ding Chong, put down the gun. It's not too late to turn back!"

Ding Chong, however, didn't care at all. He grinned and said, "The princess has the Prince of Jin, so what do I have?"

"I……"

At this time, Yang Feng took advantage of his distraction and used the last bit of his strength to kick Ding Chong's ankle, causing him to stagger. Ding Chong became angry and stabbed Yang Feng in the leg with his backhand.

Yang Feng no longer had the strength to even move her fingers. She smiled bitterly in her heart, never expecting that she would die at the hands of someone who had no knowledge of martial arts. This must be the retribution for her involvement in too many killings.
