Cao Thief

Chapter 224 The First Day (33) Begging for a Monthly Pass!

"Sir, be careful!"

A figure stood behind Cao Peng, blocking Li Shi.

The long arrow hit the man's chest, and he fell to the ground with a plop, and never got up again.Cao Peng recognized that the person who defended him was Zhai Jiong, his entourage recruited in Hailing.After being together for three months, Cao Peng didn't have much communication with Zhai Jiong. He was very silent but very conscientious.For at least three months, Zhai Jiong did his best. Although he was silent, he actually shared many things for Cao Peng.

"Yanming!"

With a cry of grief, Cao Peng let go of Pan Zhang, dragged his knife and threw himself at the galloping fast horse, stamped his feet and swung his hips, and slashed out with his knife.

The horse hissed sadly, and the cavalry general was killed by Cao Peng with a single knife.

He squatted down, only to see that Zhai Jiong had passed away from anger...

"Young master, go quickly."

Chu Ge rushed over, grabbed Cao Peng and left.

On the other side, Pan Zhang also shouted for Cao Peng to retreat.

Fast horses rushed out of the Xiapi army camp, and chased after them frantically.Cao Peng was almost being dragged towards Quyang City, and the screams sounded from behind him one after another, which made him feel extremely sad.Although it has long been known that this is the inevitable end.But when Cao Peng experienced it himself, he couldn't help feeling extremely uncomfortable.However, he had no other choice, even if he knew it, he could only rush forward.

Stumbling to the bottom of the city wall, Pan Zhang shouted loudly, "Put the rope on."

Countless ropes were thrown from the top of the city. Cao Peng and Pan Zhang reached out to grab the ropes and quickly climbed along the city wall.There is no way, the city gate was blocked long ago, behind the gate is a bag of sand and gravel weighing dozens of tons, there is no way to open the city gate.

one, two, three...

When they left the city, there were 104 warriors, but when they came back, there were very few.

As the pursuers approached the city, Zhou Cang ordered his archers to stay in the room at the top of the city, so that the enemy could not approach.

Cao Xing led a team to the base of Quyang City, and saw a dozen people desperately climbing to the top of the city.One of the thin backs looked familiar.Cao Xing narrowed his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat: He wasn't in Guangling, how did he appear here?
But after thinking about it, Cao Xing still picked the bow and took the arrow, and the bow was full of the moon, and it was an arrow aimed at Cao Peng.

Cao Xing's bow has the strength of three stones and a strength of more than three hundred catties.That sharp arrow pierced through the air, obviously different from other arrows, with Li Xiao, it went straight to Cao Peng.

Zhou Cang saw it clearly from the top of the wall, and quickly shouted: "My lord, be careful of cold arrows."

Cao Peng was climbing the city wall when suddenly there was a warning sign.He instinctively kicked against the city wall with his feet, and his body swung in mid-air with a whimper.Li Ya almost brushed past his body and hit the city wall, sparks splashed everywhere.Cao Peng's body hit the city wall heavily.Taking advantage of this turning around, he saw Cao Xing drawing a second long arrow from Hu Luli, and he couldn't help being shocked.

Others don't know Cao Xing's archery skills, but Cao Peng does.

Although Cao Xing was not on the list in the later generations of the Three Kingdoms Arrow Ranking.But that doesn't mean that Cao Xing's archery skills are worse than others.

Regardless of the pain in his body, Cao Peng hurriedly climbed up the edge with both hands.

Cao Xing's eyes were cold, and he opened his bow and arrow.

As soon as the second arrow left the string, the third arrow hit the string.The two arrows were fired almost simultaneously, but at different speeds.

The second arrow came later and flew towards Cao Peng almost at the same time as the first arrow.At this time, Cao Peng had already put one hand on the top of the wall, and when he heard the sound behind him, he quickly turned sideways.One arrow hit the city wall, but the other arrow hit Cao Peng's shoulder.

"what!"

Cao Peng yelled, his hands softened, and his body immediately fell towards the city.

A big hand stretched out, grabbing Cao Peng's arm tightly.

Deng Fan stepped on the battlement with one foot, and his body was almost completely stretched out. With a loud roar, he lifted Cao Peng's body up and dragged him to the top of the wall.

Cao Xing couldn't help yelling that it was a pity, but there was a look of relief in his eyes.

This is the Three Kingdoms!
Even if we are friends, I will never show mercy.If you can escape from my grasp, I will still feel somewhat lucky for you!
Cao Peng lay on the ground, feeling his head buzzing.

Just at the moment just now, he once again felt the distance between life and death, so close.

His heart was pounding, but his face looked extraordinarily calm.He turned over and stood up, and saw that Pan Zhang also climbed to the top of the wall.Following Chu Ge, and then... one, two, three... After the six warriors climbed to the top of the wall, there was no more movement.

In other words, among the 104 people, only these nine people came back alive.

Among them, Cao Peng was shot in the shoulder and Pan Zhang was shot in the thigh.Chu Ge was stabbed three times, and a warrior was stabbed in the stomach with a spear by the Xiapi Cavalry Army. After barely climbing to the city, he was already dying.Looking at it like that, Cao Peng knew that it might be difficult to save him.

Struggling, Cao Peng stood up and looked down the city.

Chen Gong stood on a chariot, surrounded by soldiers and horses, and came to the foot of Quyang City, standing side by side with Cao Xing.

"Chen Gongtai, you are nothing more than that!"

Cao Peng suddenly yelled, "A traitor who betrays the master dares to offend Haixi. I will burn down your camp today so that I can teach you not to underestimate the heroes of the world."

"Who is he?"

Chen Gong felt a little familiar, so he blurted out and asked.

Cao Xing gritted his teeth with a gloomy face and said, "Cao Peng."

"He actually came back?"

For an instant, Chen Gong seemed to understand.

He has never underestimated Cao Peng, including those tricks that Lu Ji did back then, how could Chen Gong not see it?But that's Lu Bu's family matter, so he won't bother with it.Cao Peng was able to escape intact in that situation, no matter what means he used, whether it was luck or scheming, it is enough to show that this kid is not simple.If this kid is here, Song Xian is in Haixi, and he will not be wronged if he dies...

There was a gloomy and cold look in Chen Gong's eyes.

"Shulong, let's go back."

"withdraw troops?"

"Ok!"

"But……"

"The current situation is not suitable for attacking the city. Let him be arrogant. After dawn, we will launch an attack and see what he has."

Chen Gong looked indifferent and ignored Cao Peng's provocation at all.

In fact, after so many years, what ugly words has he not heard?Including under Lu Bu's tent, he conspired against Hao Meng to rebel. Although Lu Bu didn't pursue the matter later, it doesn't mean that others didn't pursue it.How brave and reckless the eight generals are, their scolding is much worse than Cao Peng's scolding.To put it mildly, Chen Gong's heart is as still as water; to put it bluntly, he has been scolded to the point of numbness!
The Xiapi army came quickly and retreated quickly.

Cao Peng watched the Xiapi army retreat back to the barracks in an orderly manner, and felt even more heavy in his heart.

"Young master, Xiao Ba is gone!"

Chu Ge said to Cao Peng with a crying voice.

Xiaoba is the warrior whose stomach was pierced by a big gun.It's a pity that he crawled home desperately, but in the end he still couldn't avoid death...

Running all the way, almost all the intestines flowed out, and some of them were hanging on the top of the wall.

Cao Peng staggered over, knelt down beside Xiao Ba's body, and slowly stuffed the severed intestines back into Xiao Ba's stomach.

If Chu Ge hadn't told him, he wouldn't even know Xiao Ba's name.

In fact, among the nearly one hundred warriors who fell outside the city, except for Zhai Jiong, Cao Peng hardly knew any of them.

On the top of the city, there is a depressive atmosphere that is almost suffocating.Some soldiers couldn't bear it, and burst into tears...

In the face of death, no one can be calm and calm.Especially seeing Xiao Ba's tragic death, not many people can bear it.

"Don't cry!"

Cao Peng stood up suddenly and shouted sharply.

Pairs of eyes stared at Cao Peng for an instant.

"Xiaoba is dead, Zhai Jiong is dead... There are many good brothers of ours outside the city, and they will sleep forever. But what did they die for? They died to protect their homeland and their families. They did not die unjustly. " Cao Peng hissed and roared, and there was no sound on the wall.

"They're dead, but we're still alive."

Cao Peng's eyes were red, as if dripping blood.

"We will continue to be here, guarding our land, our home, and our relatives... If anyone is afraid, look at Xiao Ba's face and remember his appearance. He never gave up until he died, I won't give up either! Will you give up?"

After a moment of deathly silence, nearly a thousand people on and inside the city shouted in unison: "We will never give up."

"did you see that!"

Cao Peng has been outside the city, the faint fire.

"They have 8000 people, but they can't stop the charge of 100 of us.

Brothers, what I want to tell you is that after dawn, we will face even more tragic and cruel battles.But for those brothers who died, for our parents, wives and children, we can't give up... Whoever dares to invade my homeland, I will fight with him! "

"That's right, it worked!"

"Desperate with them..."

"Everyone, go back to your respective positions, pick up your weapons, and use the blood of those Xiapi dogs to pay homage to the spirits of your brothers."

"Kill the Xiapi dog!"

"Fight with them..."

One after another, they gathered together and resounded through the sky.

Cao Peng looked at the excited people and let out a sigh of relief.

"Have someone put Xiao Ba's body in place."

"Here!"

As soon as Cao Peng raised his hand, he felt that all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.

Just now, he insisted on arousing everyone's emotions.But when everyone became crazy, Cao Peng began to feel dizzy.

Someone called a doctor from Quyang to remove the long arrow from Cao Peng's shoulder and bandage it properly.

Cao Peng sat down by the battlements, glanced at Pan Zhang, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"Young master, you are laughing so hard."

"I suddenly remembered, when you rushed to kill, what were you muttering in your mouth?"

"The vernacular of our hometown."

"Yanzhou dialect?"

"Ok!"

"Teach me a few words later... maybe when I go back to Yanzhou to work, it would be nice to be able to speak Yanzhou dialect."

"It's hard to hear!"

"It's not hard to listen to or learn..."

Pan Zhang looked at Cao Peng and still couldn't help laughing.The arrow wound on his leg was not serious, but the red-stemmed white-feathered arrow pierced through his thigh.Now that the arrows have been removed and bandaged properly, there is no serious problem.Not far away, the doctor was bandaging Chugo's wound.He was bare-chested, revealing his strong body in the firelight.The incision was deep and the blood flowed profusely, causing him to yell out in pain.

"Find two sheep intestines, wash them, and get two bone needles."

Cao Peng stood up, walked to Chu Ge's side, and gave instructions to the doctor.

A sergeant ran down the wall to look for what Cao Peng needed.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"Heal your wound...it hurts, can you bear it?"

"Ha, the young master was joking, it's just a little pain, why can't you bear it?"

A smile appeared on Cao Peng's face, "Listen to the accent, aren't you from Qingzhou?"

"The people from Jizhou... lived in Qingzhou with their parents back then, and later with Marshal Xue... Xuezhou has arrived in Yuzhou Mountain, and now he is at home in Hai'an."

"Be my servant."

"what?"

Chu Ge's eyes widened, and he looked at Cao Peng in astonishment, unable to react.

"You are good at it, and you will be my follower in the future."

"it is good!"

Chu Ge came to his senses, and immediately agreed without hesitation.

In fact, with his skills, if he stayed in the army, he would be promoted very quickly based on his military exploits.But since Cao Peng said this, Chu Ge naturally wouldn't refuse.Young Master let me be his entourage, that's because he thinks highly of me.As a Yuzhou mountain and sea citizen, I can be a prince's follower, so why wouldn't I be happy?
At this time, someone fetched bone needles and sheep intestines.

Cao Peng washed the intestines and chopped them finely, and then threaded them on bone needles.

He raised his head and said to the doctor: "If you have such an injury in the future, follow my method. But you must remember that it must be clean. It is best to burn the bone needle with fire. When bandaging it, it is best to use it first." Boil it in boiling water, dry it in the sun, and then bandage it."

While talking, Cao Peng used bone needles to sew up Chu Ge's wound.

It hurt Chu Ge so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.It's just that he uttered big words just now, so he suppressed the pain and insisted on not screaming.

After the stitches were finished, Chugo's face turned pale.

Cao Peng found a clean cloth, bandaged the wound for Chu Ge, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Take a break, we'll have to fight those bitch bastards later... Crazy, don't embarrass me, kill a few more."

Chu Ge grinned and said, "My lord, just let it go, those sleazy dogs don't need to be killed."

Cao Peng stood up and looked into the distance.

In the sky, there is already a fish belly white light, which indicates that the sky will be bright.

"Give me an order to get everyone ready... After dawn, the Xiapi dog will definitely launch a fierce attack, and give me a hard lesson for them."

"Here!"

Pan Zhang also stood up and said goodbye to Cao Peng.

His duty is to guard the east gate.Now that it is dawn, he must return to his post.

Zhou Cang followed behind Cao Peng, and said softly, "My lord, it may take a while before dawn, why don't you go back to the house and have a rest?"

"Forget it, follow me around the city tower to see if there is anything else that needs attention."

————————————————————————

When the sun first rose, there was no cloud of fire.

All around it is a light rose-colored dawn, with a bright and soft light.From a long and narrow cloud layer, it floated faintly, revealed its face, and immediately hid in the faint purple mist around it.At the highest point of the stretching clouds, the two sides flicker like bright little snakes... The jumping beams of light move forward, with a kind of solemnity, embracing a round of rising sun like flying upwards!
Its daybreak.

From the barracks outside the city, there was the sound of rumbling war drums.

Cao Peng supported the battlements and stood still!Facing the rising sun, he took a deep breath of the morning air, then turned around abruptly, staring outside the city!
it has started……
