Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 117 General, why did you lie to me again!

When Xing Daorong heard that the generals that Cao Hong had sent were all around him, he knew that the matter was done!

But there was still fear on his face.

Then he quickly turned into an extremely angry look.

He looked at Cao Hong and said, "Cao Hong, don't be complacent. Even if you can't escape today, I will kill you!"

Cao Hong laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Xing Daorong, you only know how to be brave, I want to see how you kill me."

Xing Dao raised his head and looked in the direction of Zhushan Mountain. He saw a faint light of fire on the mountain and knew that he still needed to hold on for a while.

Then he said, "Cao Zilian, if you have the ability to compete with me, what kind of hero are you if you hide in the crowd?"

But how could Cao Hong go there?
Knowing that he was no match for Xing Daorong, he would not let the cooked duck fly away.

However, having been humiliated during the day, he did not want to let Xing Daorong off easily.

Seeing that he had surrounded the guy and was sure of victory, he wanted to humiliate him back with words.

But he said: "Xing Daorong, even if he is as capable as Lu Bu, he will still be captured and killed. What about you?"

Xing Daorong would say whatever he was told, and he didn't care at all as long as it could delay time.

He just said: "Stop talking nonsense, I just want to ask if you dare to accept the challenge!"

When Cao Hong looked at Xing Daorong at this moment, he felt that he was completely helpless and furious.

He felt so relieved that he couldn't help but sneer, "Xing Daorong, if you surrender quickly, I can spare your life."

"If you don't, I will order you to die!"

Xing Daorong has never been afraid of bickering, and now the purpose is to delay time.

He wanted to continue "arguing" with Cao Hong, but Bao Long, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear to see his general being humiliated.

He whispered to Xing Daorong, "General, it seems that we have no choice but to break out. I will clear the way for you later. Don't worry about me, just rush out."

Xing Daorong listened and looked at Bao Long, thinking that this guy is really loyal now.

It turned out that when Bao Long came for the night attack this time, he didn't know that Xing Daorong knew the plan, and he didn't know that Ma Chao was on Zhushan Mountain. He thought it was just a simple night attack.

So now I thought I was really ambushed and was extremely anxious.

Having said that, Xing Daorong is not without danger at the moment.

Although once Ma Chao came out and set fires everywhere in Cao's camp, Cao's soldiers would be in chaos because they would not know where the troops would come from or how many people would come.

But there is also a one in a thousand chance that something goes wrong, and then this bait of mine will be destroyed without a burial place.

However, Bao Long didn't even know about Ma Chao's ambush. At this moment, he really thought it was a place of life and death. He still thought about charging forward for himself. He was really loyal.

Xing Daorong kept it in mind, but he looked afraid that Cao Hong would find out something, so he just said, "We'll talk about it after we break out."

Bao Long was anxious. Seeing that there were more and more Cao soldiers around him, he thought that if he didn't break out, he would have no chance!
But the general didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he was still chattering with General Cao.

This is only Xing Daorong. If it were someone else, Bao Long would have rushed out to break through.

When Bao Long couldn't bear it any longer, Cao Hong also felt humiliated enough.

Then he said, "Xing Daorong, since you are still hesitating to make a choice, I will help you choose."

After saying this, he mobilized his troops and prepared to surround and kill Xing Daorong.

At this moment, Xing Daorong looked again and suddenly saw fire behind Cao Hong.

He was delighted, but then he realized that it was Ma Chao who had broken out of Zhushan and had already rushed into Cao's camp!

His expression suddenly changed, the fear, panic and anger in his previous expression disappeared, replaced by a sense of confidence that he was in control of the situation.

But he held a large axe in his hand, pointed at the back of Cao Hong and said, "Cao Hong, my lord Xuande has brought two generals, Guan and Zhang, down from the sky to attack you from behind your camp!"

Of course, this was just something Xing Daorong said to hurt the morale of Cao's soldiers. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu were all in different places. How could they have fought together like they did in the "start-up period"?
But when the flames broke out and the sounds of killing shook the sky, Cao Hong's mind suddenly became confused.

In a panic, he heard news of a defeated army coming from behind.

"General!"

"The bamboo mountains are full of soldiers and horses, and they are all flying the banners of Liu, Guan, and Zhang."

"There are too many to count. Kill them all."

In fact, Ma Chao only had two thousand men and horses, which was less than one-tenth of Cao Hong's thirty thousand men.

However, the army led by Ma Chao at this moment was like a divine army, and it was dark at night, so it was impossible to tell exactly how many people there were!

I only know that they are all under the banner of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and they are the ones who can't afford to lose.

Cao Hong was greatly shocked when he heard this, and so were all the Cao family's generals and soldiers around him.

Seeing this, Xing Daorong naturally would not give Cao Hong a chance to think.

He raised his arm and shouted, "My lord, Guan and Zhang have come here to kill us. Let's quickly support the lord and kill them!"

When everyone around heard that Liu Bei was coming, they naturally became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Even our old brother Bao Long seemed a little unhappy after hearing the news.

It’s not because of anything else. In the final analysis, it’s because I was deceived by the general again.

I couldn't help but complain: "General... since you have prepared in advance, why didn't you tell me? You made me worry and scared."

Xing Daorong really didn't think that much.

Firstly, he felt that it didn't matter whether he told Bao Long or not, and secondly, he had always been treated this way, so he was somewhat used to it.

But today, seeing how loyal he was and how he was willing to sacrifice his life to help me break out of this desperate situation, I thought that I would not be able to hide it from him in the future.

Then he said, "Good brother, the situation is urgent, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

After hearing the words “good brother”, Bao Long immediately felt that all the grievances he had suffered were gone.

Suddenly his spirits returned, and he shouted: "The general has won every battle, and now the enemy has fallen into a trap. Brothers... follow the general to kill the enemy, make achievements, make money and get promoted!"

"Well!"

Around Xing Daorong, both new recruits and veterans cheered together at this moment.

The situation was critical and they were about to be surrounded, but there was a sudden turn of events. Naturally, they cheered and were full of energy, and everyone was vying to be the first.

In contrast, although Cao Hong had more people, they were all discouraged.

Of course, now with the advantage in numbers, if we get mad at Xing Daorong, we might even die together with him.

But would Cao Hong be willing to exchange his life with Xing Daorong?
I definitely don’t want to!

He immediately led his troops to retreat, missing the last chance to capture Xing Daorong and turn the situation around.

His retreat threw the entire camp into further chaos.

Ma Chao charged from behind the camp, while Xing Daorong attracted the attention of Cao Hong's main troops. How could the camp not be in chaos?

As for Cao's army, when they saw the situation change, they all had different thoughts.

There were those who wanted to burn their boats and directly captured Xing Daorong, like Cao Xiu and Zang Ba; there were also those who did not even think twice, like Cao Hong, Hou Xuan, and Yang Qiu, who directly retreated.

In fact, it cannot be said that Cao Hong’s choice was wrong.

After all, there was a fire in the rear camp. If Xing Daorong could not be captured in a short time, the entire army would be wiped out.

If we withdraw now, we can still maintain our military strength.

But by making this choice, he indeed lost the last chance to turn the situation around.
