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

"Hahaha, hit me hard!" Cao Ang laughed.

"Yes!" the crossbowmen roared in unison, wildly raining down arrows on the city wall.

After a hail of arrows, most of the city wall was destroyed.

"Set fire oil!" Cao Ang ordered again.

Thick smoke immediately rose from the city gate, and the fire became more and more intense.

"Bastard!"

Liu Biao looked at the burning city wall and couldn't help but burst into anger.

"Lord, Cao's army is attacking fiercely, and our army cannot hold it back!" Guo Tu looked sad on the side.

Liu Biao gritted his teeth: "It seems that we can only hope that Yuan Shao has received my letter and sent an army for reinforcements!"

At this time, a letter was delivered to Yuan Shao on the other side.

After Yuan Shao read the letter, his face was gloomy and he cursed angrily: "Cao Ang bullies people too much. Do you really think that I, Yuan Shao, am a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by him?"

"You lead five thousand troops and rush to Xiangyang. You must rescue Liu Biao as soon as possible!" Yuan Shao ordered.

"No!" Yuan Tan accepted the order with his fists clasped.

Subsequently, Yuan Tan led five thousand troops and rushed to Xiangyang to rescue Liu Biao.

……

Surprisingly, Cao Ang did not continue to choose to launch a fierce attack on Xiangyang City, but chose to retreat temporarily.

Inside Cao Ang's military camp.

"Sir, there is something strange in the direction of Xiangyang!" the counselor whispered.

"Oh?" Cao Ang raised his eyebrows: "Send someone to keep an eye on Xiangyang!"

"Yes!"

Cao Ang looked at Xiangyang in the distance, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.

"How long do you think Liu Biao can last?" Cao Ang suddenly asked.

The counselor pondered for a moment: "Sir, I estimate that Liu Biao will collapse in just a few days!"

"Oh?" Cao Ang said in surprise: "Why?"

The counselor smiled and said: "Sir, think about it, except for those few people under Liu Biao's command, the rest are just a mob."

"Liu Biao wants to rely on the two of them to resist us. It is really a fool's dream."

"In addition, Liu Biao's dirty tricks have been frequent recently, which shows that there are not many capable people in Liu Biao's army."

"Such an army is nothing more than cannon fodder that poses no threat on the battlefield."

"Liu Biao's wish to rely on them to block our army is simply a fantasy."

Hearing this, Cao Ang nodded slightly: "In that case, let us continue to wait for the best time to come!"

……

In the past few days, Cao Ang was not anxious at all. He wanted to see what new tricks Liu Biao could come up with.

At the same time, he also discovered a secret. Liu Biao's army did not seem to have only more than 30,000 troops left as he had guessed.

Because according to the intelligence, Liu Biaojun seemed to be ready.

This made Cao Ang confused. Did Liu Biao's army recruit another group of soldiers?
Cao Ang thought for a while and then dismissed the idea, because Liu Biao's army had just experienced several wars, and now there was no money or soldiers to recruit.

However, after the previous battle, Cao Ang deeply felt that his combat experience was still very lacking.

So he planned to find Xia Houyuan for some training again.

So Cao Ang ordered Xiahou Yuan to come.

Not long after, Xia Houyuan came to the military tent and paid homage: "The last general Xia Houyuan pays homage to the young master!"

"No courtesy!" Cao Ang said.

"Thank you, Master!" Xiahou Yuan stood up, looked at Cao Ang, and asked, "Master, what's the matter with summoning the general?"

"I feel like my swordsmanship is a bit rusty recently. Are you willing to help me practice it?" Cao Ang looked at Xia Houyuan and asked.

After hearing this, Xia Houyuan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "In the end, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"

Cao Ang nodded and said: "Tomorrow morning, you will practice swordsmanship with me!"

"promise!"

Early the next morning, Cao Ang took Xia Houyuan to the school grounds.

Cao Ang took the sword and said to Xia Houyuan: "Today you just attack me with all your strength, don't worry about hurting me!"

"Yes!" Xia Houyuan responded and raised his sword to kill Cao Ang.

"Clang clang clang."

Xia Houyuan struck at Cao Ang's vitals with every blow, not daring to hold back at all.

However, Cao Ang reacted extremely quickly and was always able to dodge Xia Houyuan's attacks.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of moves have been exchanged.

Cao Ang looked at Xia Houyuan's admiring expression and said to himself: "What a great tiger general. He is indeed a veteran who has followed me in conquering the world for many years!"

Xia Houyuan had no intention of holding back. He wanted to see how big the gap between himself and Cao Ang was.

"Qiang."

Xia Houyuan cut off Cao Ang's long sword with one blow, and then cut off Cao Ang's right hand holding the sword.

"hiss."

The severe pain hit, causing Cao Ang to take a breath, but he endured the pain, quickly withdrew his sword and swept out.

Xia Houyuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly dodged sideways, narrowly avoiding Cao Ang's sword.

"What a sword!" Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes.

"Sir, the general also has a sword technique, you might as well try it!" Xia Houyuan said.

Cao Ang also became interested: "That's good!"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Ang rushed towards Xia Houyuan with his sword.

Xia Houyuan's eyes flashed and he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

ding ding ding...

In the blink of an eye, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ang were fighting together.

The two of them went back and forth, performing various stunts one after another.

It has to be said that although Xia Houyuan is not as good as a top general like Guan Yu, he does have a skill.

What's even more rare is that he knows how to adapt and is good at seizing opportunities.

In less than half an hour, Xia Houyuan actually gained the upper hand and beat Cao Ang.

"boom!"

Xia Houyuan took advantage of Cao Ang's flaw and kicked Cao Ang hard on the chest with his whip.

"Pfft."

Cao Ang suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body flew out, and fell to the ground. He struggled for a long time before he got up.

"Hahaha!" Xia Houyuan laughed wildly: "Sir, how do you think of the general's sword skills?"

Cao Ang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "If you come again, I will definitely find your flaw!"

Xia Houyuan did not refuse and rushed forward again.

This time, Xia Houyuan's speed was much slower, giving Cao Ang a chance to breathe.

"Humph!"

Cao Ang snorted coldly, shook the sword in his hand, and stabbed Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan looked solemn and hurriedly waved his sword to block.

when!
The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and Xia Houyuan felt a huge shock from the tiger's mouth, and almost escaped.

"drink!"

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ang flipped his wrist and stabbed Xia Houyuan with his long sword like a dragon.

Xia Houyuan's pupils shrank suddenly and he quickly retreated, avoiding Cao Ang's attack.

"Shh!"

However, when Xia Houyuan retreated, Cao Ang's sword made a strange circle and stabbed Xia Houyuan in the neck.

Xia Houyuan was shocked. He never expected that Cao Ang could carry out such a weird attack method.

In a hurry, Xia Houyuan raised his knife to block and retreated violently.

"Zheng!"

The long sword pierced the long knife in Xia Houyuan's hand. The huge force caused Xia Houyuan's tiger's mouth to burst, and even his arms were a little numb.

"The son is mighty!"

Seeing Xia Houyuan being suppressed, the soldiers beside him cheered. (End of chapter)
