Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 707 Ambush
Xia Houyuan's eyes widened with shock.

"Fire the arrow! Cooperate with Modao Shou's actions"

Liu Biao gave the order, and all the bows and arrows on the city wall began to fire.

"what!"

The screams were endless, and the five thousand elite soldiers brought by Xia Houyuan suffered heavy losses.

When Xia Houyuan saw this, he secretly thought it was a fluke. Fortunately, he was cautious and did not rush in hastily, otherwise he would be in danger.

"Retreat!" Xia Houyuan decisively ordered a retreat.

Xia Houyuan knew the current situation and he had to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Xia Houyuan fled quickly with his cavalry.

"Report to my lord! The enemy has escaped!" the scout reported.

Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said to Liu Biao: "Father, it is thanks to you that we can defend Xiangyang City this time!"

Liu Biao laughed and said, "You can go and rest for a while. I'll stay and guard the city."

"Yeah!" Liu Qi nodded.

Outside Xiangyang City, Cao Ang became furious after receiving the news from Xia Houyuan.

"Asshole! Trash! A loser!"

Cao Ang slapped the table hard and cursed through gritted teeth.

Cao Hong tried to persuade him: "Young master, please calm down. Xia Houyuan did something wrong in this matter."

"Hmph! Do you think I don't know!?"

Cao Ang snorted coldly: "If you hadn't done a good job in investigation, how could Liu Biao have taken advantage of us?"

Cao Hong lowered his head. This matter was indeed their mistake.

Seeing Cao Hong's silence, Cao Ang became even more angry and shouted: "You are all idiots. Didn't you see where those arrows came from?"

"That. That's not an ordinary arrow!"

Cao Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, you have also seen that those arrows are extremely powerful. They are probably Liu Biao's crossbows!"

I have to say that Cao Hong's knowledge is quite broad.

"What? Bed crossbow?" Cao Ang's face changed slightly and he asked hurriedly: "How powerful is the bed crossbow?"

"It's very powerful, with a range of more than thirty meters, and its power is several times more powerful than an ordinary bed crossbow."

Cao Hong pondered for a moment and then said: "If there is such a bed crossbow, I am afraid that only the trapped camp in my hand can compete with it."

"Damn it!" Cao Ang said bitterly.

Cao Hong continued his analysis: "And that kind of bed crossbow requires a lot of fine iron to make."

"So, Master, I'm afraid it's not realistic for us to attack Xiangyang City now!"

After hearing this, Cao Ang fell silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "Instruct Xiahou Yuan to temporarily withdraw his troops!"

"Yes!" Cao Hong responded.

At this time, Xiahou Dun regained his composure. He did not know Cao Ang's order, so he continued to lead the charge.

"Shield, shield!"

General Liu Jun on the top of the city saw this scene and shouted quickly.

Because Cao Jun's cavalry was often covered by archers, Liu Jun had also developed corresponding tactics.

Liu Jun's shield soldiers quickly rolled out their shields and blocked them on top of the city to protect Liu Jun's generals on top of the city.

Although the charge of Xiahou Dun's five thousand cavalry was extremely fierce, it seemed unable to effectively bring any damage to Xiangyang City. .

"kill!"

Xiahou Dun continued to choose to charge.

In Xiangyang City, Liu Qi was sitting in his room with a sad look on his face.

Although there are many defenders in Xiangyang City, Liu Qi knows that the enemy army this time is very powerful and his troops cannot resist it. The only thing he can do is to delay.

But, how long can Xiangyang City last?

Liu Qi looked worriedly at Cao Ang's army in the distance. He didn't know how many troops Cao Ang had, how long he planned to stay in Xiangyang, and how long Xiangyang could sustain it?
"We can only take one step at a time." Liu Qi shook his head.

.

Outside Xiangyang City, inside Cao Ang's camp, he was discussing with Xu Chu how to capture Xiangyang.

"General Xu Chu, what do you think?" Cao Ang asked. "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely be able to capture Xiangyang." Xu Chu puffed up his chest and said confidently.

Xu Chu was very skilled in martial arts, and he was best at close combat. He once defeated more than a dozen generals with one person, and finally retreated unscathed.

Therefore, Xu Chu was very confident to win Xiangyang.

"Okay, then General Xu Chu will continue to lead the army to attack Xiangyang, and I will hold the battle for the general from behind." Cao Ang pondered for a moment and said.

He had just learned that Xiahou Dun would continue to fight, and he was helpless.

So an order for support was quickly issued.

Xu Chu took the order.

Soon, Xu Chu chose a suitable time and led five thousand elite troops to sneak attack Xiangyang City, preparing to capture Xiangyang in one fell swoop.

"Whoosh!"

A loud arrow rose into the sky, drew an arc in the sky, and landed on Liu Biao's flag in the city, indicating that Xu Chu's action was about to begin.

"Dong dong dong."

The drums beat and the trumpets sounded throughout the army, and five thousand elite troops quickly gathered.

Xiahou Dun in the distance saw this and knew that the reinforcements sent by Cao Ang were about to arrive.

He immediately ordered his cavalry to prepare.

Soon, Cao Ang's army was assembled.

Five thousand cavalry, led by Xu Chu, headed towards Xiangyang in a mighty manner.

Xu Chu led the army to charge, aiming directly at Xiangyang City.

Xu Chu's speed was extremely fast, and he arrived less than a hundred meters away from Xiangyang City in a short time.

Liu Biao's army outside the city was also well prepared. There was no fear in their eyes, they could only regard death as home.

Xu Chu was overjoyed and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and kill!"

"Kill."

The soldiers behind Xu Chu followed Xu Chu to kill Xiangyang City.

"Crossbow shooting!"

"The bed crossbow is aimed at Xu Chu in front!"

Xu Chu's army was getting closer and closer to Xiangyang City. The crossbowmen on the city wall immediately aimed at Xu Chu's position and released arrows.

Rows of arrows flew out, killing Xu Chu.

Xu Chu had been prepared for a long time, and he shouted: "Protect me!"

"kill!"

The soldiers around Xu Chu surrounded Xu Chu one after another, and then raised their shields to cover Xu Chu's arrows.

"Puff puff!"

The arrow hit the shield, splashing out a string of sparks, and the soldiers under Xu Chu's command were knocked away by the huge impact.

Xu Chu was shocked and shouted quickly: "Cover us as we enter the city."

"Those who stand in the way will be killed without mercy!" Xu Chu roared. He took the lead and charged towards the city wall with a spear in hand.

"clang!"

A giant ax fell from the sky and struck Xu Chu's spear, swinging Xu Chu's spear away.

Xu Chu turned around and saw a man in black robe standing in front of him.

His pupils were constricted, this man was so powerful!

But Xu Chu had seen the world after all, and he immediately stabbed him with a spear.

"clang!"

The man in black split Xu Chu's spear with a knife, grabbed his right arm, and pulled Xu Chu over with a strong tug.

But Xu Chu just took this opportunity to launch a counterattack.

"Pfft!"

The man in black groaned and twisted his body, but he held on without letting go of his arm.
