Cao Thief

Chapter 225 All I Want is Qu Yang

The mane fluttered.

Under Quyang City, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

Gan Ning sat straddling Yebai, frowning and watching, with a deep worry on his face.A pair of sword eyebrows were furrowed, the tiger's eyes were slightly closed, and the long knife was tightly grasped.

"Bo Miao, let's go for a while, how about?"

"No!"

Deng Zhi hurriedly stopped him, seeing that Gan Ning's face was not good, so he quickly explained, "It's not that we don't want to charge, but that we can't charge now. The battle in Quyang has just begun, and the formation of the Xiapi army has not been scattered, and the morale is high. It is very difficult for us to charge the camp now. It doesn't do much to confuse them."

"Then when can we go to camp?"

"Wait a little longer!" Deng Zhi said softly: "Youxue is not waiting for nothing. Although the Xiapi army is attacking fiercely, it may not be easy to break through the city. We must be patient now and wait for the morale of the Xiapi army to fall. , and then attack again, then the pressure on Quyang will be relieved."

Gan Ning thought about it, and finally agreed with Deng Zhi's idea.

The faint shouts of killing came from the direction of Quyang City, stimulating Gan Ning's nerves.Gan Ning wished he could fight side by side with Cao Peng in Quyang City at this very moment.Although he couldn't see the brutal fighting scene, he could feel the strong smell of blood.

However, what Deng Zhi said was not wrong.

Cao Peng ordered him to respond outside the city, not to act recklessly.

Gan Ning has never been a reckless person, and he also knows that if he wants to share the pressure for Qu Yang, he must find the right time.

If you act recklessly, the result can only be a disastrous failure.

He didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he put together all the horses, including the one Zhao Yebai with Cao Peng, there were only 380 or six horses.Gan Ning can't afford to be hurt!He knew very well that every charge he made had to be just right, otherwise it would be useless.

Resisting the impulse, Gan Ning gritted his teeth and turned the horse's head.

"Order the scouts to continue investigating, and be sure to keep an eye on the battle situation in Quyang."

"Here!"

Deng Zhi surrendered.

Gan Ning immediately turned back to visit Qu Yang, sighed after a long while, and urged the horse to leave.

"Fire arrows!"

Cao Peng stood on the top of the wall, hissing and roaring.

Rows of archers frantically shot arrows at the enemy soldiers below the city, and the arrows rained like rain.At the foot of the city wall, ten trebuchets catapulted rocks wildly.

Stones flew out whizzing one after another, and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

The two shields were violently smashed by the stone and fell to the ground.Several soldiers were crushed under the arrow-blocking cart, howling terribly...

In just two or three hours, the Xiapi army has launched wave after wave of fierce attacks.

Around Cao Peng relied on the fortified city to hold on, but the casualties continued to increase.One side carried a large number of siege equipment, while the other side made preparations in advance.Although the Xiapi army has the upper hand in numbers, Quyang has always stood firm by virtue of the high walls of the city.

It's just that the Xiapi army attacked too violently!
As a result, more than [-] soldiers were killed or injured in the city.

Cao Peng and Zhou Cang ran back and forth on the top of the city, shouting loudly to encourage the soldiers.But in fact, including Cao Peng, they were also shocked by the ferocity of the Xiapi army.

"Tripbuster, eject!"

Cao Peng ran to the crenel of the horse wall and shouted towards the city.

Before the words were finished, a trebuchet fell apart.The continuous throwing has made the trebuchet a little overwhelmed.

"Young master, why hasn't Xingba acted yet?"

With blood on his face, Zhou Cang rushed to Cao Peng and shouted.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry... Xingba and the others will also look for opportunities. When the time is right, they will naturally inflict heavy damage on the bandits."

Zhou Cang spat, turned around and ran back without saying a word.

Cao Peng exhaled a foul breath, and the three hours of uninterrupted fierce fighting made her breath filled with blood.He scooped up a ladle of water from the bucket at the corner of the city wall, and drank it all in one gulp, which made his burning throat much more comfortable.

"Sir, be careful."

Before the water ladle was put down, a boulder flew from the bottom of the city to the top of the city with a roar.

Chu Ge rushed forward and threw Cao Peng to the ground.The stone was hitting the bucket, and the huge bucket was split into pieces. The water flowed along the cracks in the bluestone at the top of the city, and quickly merged with the blood on the ground, and flowed out along the water hole.

Cao Peng got up and wiped the muddy water on his face.

He smiled at Chu Ge, and was about to thank him when someone shouted, "The ladder is building the wall, the ladder is building the wall!"

More than ten ladders crashed against the city wall!
Cao Peng suddenly felt a headache.

The ladder builds a wall, which means that the opponent has found his own weakness.From the previous long-range shooting, it was converted into a frontal hand-to-hand combat...

Cao Peng is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, and it is difficult for the Xiapi army to accumulate too many people in the small space at the head of the city in Quyang.

But the problem is, there are only so many people on our side.One loss is one loss... For Cao Peng, this is the most troublesome thing.

"Destroyed their ladder."

Cao Peng didn't care to thank Chu Ge, he jumped up and rushed to the crenel of the city wall.

A Xiapi soldier just poked his head out, Cao Peng swung his knife and cut off the head of the Xiapi soldier without hesitation.The headless dead body fell straight from the ladder, but the blood spattered still splashed on Cao Peng's face.Cao Peng didn't bother to wipe it, and just stepped forward when he saw a spear poking in from outside the crenel.He hurriedly dodged to dodge, and saw a soldier who had climbed the crenel and jumped up to the top of the city.

"First board, first board..."

Xiapi soldiers under the city immediately shouted loudly.

But before they could finish shouting, a dead body flew down from the city, fell to the ground fluffy, hit the ground head first, and its brain burst.

However, if one arrives first, there will be a second, third, fourth...

"Zhou Cang, keep shooting arrows!"

Cao Peng shouted loudly, and immediately took Chu Ge and ran along the aisle at the top of the city.

The big knife in his hand slashed fiercely again and again, chopping down the Xiapi soldiers who tried to intercept him in a pool of blood.After about a stick of incense, only a loud bang suddenly came from the city.A ladder broke, and dozens of Xiapi soldiers fell from the ladder...

"They are dying, kill me!"

Cao Peng shouted quickly, and the Haixi soldiers on the city suddenly regained their morale.

In this way, the two sides came and went, and the Xiapi soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and then they were driven down by Cao Peng's men; rushed up again, and drove them down again.After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, like sawing repeatedly, the sound of a gong finally came from the barracks outside the city.

Xiapi soldiers, retreat!
Cao Peng plopped down in the bloody water, panting heavily.

For Cao Peng, the hour just now was a test of life and death.

He must concentrate and dare not relax in the slightest.But after a long time, it makes people feel inexplicably tired.From the top of the city, there was a burst of cheers.Accompanied by screams and wailing, it was particularly harsh.Cao Peng plucked up his breath, stood up from the bloody water, went to the back of the city wall again, held on to the crenel, and raised his eyes to look at the camp of the Xiapi soldiers.Unknowingly, the setting sun is like blood...

Outside the city of Xiapi, there is a strong smell of blood.

According to the rules, the two sides will collect the dead bodies.When clearing the battlefield, attacks are generally not allowed.

Of course, Cao Peng didn't have the ability to launch an attack!

He exhaled lightly, and a bloody smell gushed out of his lungs, making Cao Peng almost vomit.

Growing up so big, it was the first time he had seen such a bloody scene.Counting the number of people, in the past half a day, more than a hundred people have been lost!
"Young master, how about bringing in some more troops?"

Cao Peng shook his head, "It's not appropriate to dispatch people on the first day.

It is estimated that today is not over yet, look at those Xiapi dogs, they haven't returned to camp yet.It is very likely that Chen Gong will continue to attack. "

"Night battle?"

"It's not impossible!"

Cao Peng coughed lightly and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

There was still some blood in the thick phlegm...

"Let everyone take the time to rest. After the Xiapi dog has finished resting, the attack will be more violent."

"Here!"

Cao Peng was silent and stood on the top of the wall.

He wasn't too tall, but his figure stood upright like a javelin.Seeing Cao Peng's appearance, the people around felt calm for some reason.In the bloody battle just now, Cao Peng killed at least a dozen people, not many of the opponent's generals.

Regardless of his young age, his skill has already convinced everyone.

Looking at the remnant red setting sun, the earth was dyed blood red.Cao Peng's heart was not peaceful.

In less than a day, he and Chen Gong had exchanged hands several times.Chen Gong's dismounting, and Cao Peng's stealing camp, the two sides fought to a tie.

Immediately after a day of fierce fighting, the two sides were tied again.

Next, it's my turn to win!

I just don't know, how will you, Chen Gongtai, resolve it?
"Young Master, Wen Gui reported back that their casualties were quite heavy. More than 80 people died in the battle, and nearly [-] people died. They can no longer fight."

Not only Cao Peng was under enormous pressure, Pan Zhang and Deng Fan were also under enormous pressure.

"Order Wang Xu to transfer 100 people from the West Campus."

"Then our side?"

"No manpower will be recruited for the time being."

"Here!"

Cao Peng beat the wall vigorously and stared at the camp of the Xiapi army.

He knew that Chen Gong must also be in the army formation at this time, looking towards the top of the city.Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed his thumb down at Xia Pijun, with a cold smile on his face.

He knew that Chen Gong would definitely be able to see it!
--------------------------

It was not dark yet, but the Xiapi army lit up torches.

The setting sun, the flames, and the blood-colored earth made this Quyang City even more eerie and dignified.Chen Gong tightly grasped the railing with one hand, his knuckles turned white.On that fair face, there was a look of determination, but his eyes looked very dignified.

Unexpectedly, this small Quyang City has such resilience.

That's right, Cao Peng lost nearly 200 people, but the number of casualties of the Xiapi army was equally astonishing, almost twice that of Quyang.

In addition to the fact that Cao Peng stole the camp last night, the number of casualties in the Xiapi army exceeded [-].

However, as far as Chen Gong is concerned, he can afford this casualty.Eight thousand troops, six hundred casualties, less than [-]% casualties.

However, the number of casualties in Quyang was close to [-]%.

See how long you can last!

Chen Gong couldn't see clearly the gesture made by Cao Peng, but he knew that it was definitely not a good word.

"Military division, that kid is so arrogant."

Lu Ji hurried forward, stopped beside Chen Gong's chariot, gritted his teeth and said: "Military Master, let me go...I swear to take the head of that little thief."

"Young Lord, be safe and don't be impatient."

Regardless of whether Lu Bu wanted to see Lu Ji or not, Chen Gong would still respect Lu Ji as "Young Lord" in front of others.

He smiled, "That kid just repelled us once, so it's inevitable that he will be crazy. However, he won't be too crazy for long, and when his aura subsides, the Young Master will attack again, and he will be defeated in one fell swoop."

Lu Ji nodded after hearing this.

Chen Gongtai is still willing to think about me... If I inherit the family business in the future, I will definitely use this person.

With this little thought in Lu Ji's heart, Chen Gong doesn't know how to manage money.Looking at the sky, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it in the air.

"attack!"

In an instant, the drums of war rumbled, and the shouts of killing sounded again.

Accompanied by the creaking sound of the trebuchet, each stone drew a perfect parabola and flew towards the head of Quyang city.

The archers shot in unison, and the arrows rained like rain.

After a short rest, Xiapi soldiers launched a fierce attack towards Quyang City.One by one Lu public cars, one by one to block the arrows, marching on the battlefield.The Xiapi soldiers hid behind the arrow-defending cart and slowly approached the Quyang city wall.At the same time, another rain of secret arrows was shot from the top of the city, and balls of fire flew out of the city and landed on the ground with a dull sound.Two flaming stones collided in the air, fluffing... the sparks scattered like gorgeous fireworks over the battlefield.The sound of killing echoed in the sky, making people's heart jump.

Chen Gong ordered the chariot to stop at a hundred paces, and the Chinese army approached Quyang.

He was about to give another order when he suddenly heard a commotion from the rear army... Immediately afterwards, people shouted and neighed, and the rear army was in chaos.

"what's going on?"

"Report to the military division, there are enemy soldiers, and there are enemy soldiers attacking the camp."

The herald hurried forward, out of breath, and reported to Chen Gong.

Lu Jiwen's expression changed drastically, he turned his horse's head, took off the halberd, and shouted sharply: "Boys, follow me to meet the enemy!"

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Gong stopped Lu Ji suddenly, and turned to look at the rear army.

he smiled...

Cao Peng, dare to use such a trivial skill?I said why are you so tough, it turns out that arrangements have already been made.Divide the troops into each other's horns, do you want to use this method to delay my offensive and relieve Qu Yang's pressure?Hmph, it's a pity how many soldiers and horses can you have in your hands?The main force is in Quyang County, so there are probably only a few people outside the city.If you want to rely on such a small force, you have to hold me back... If you have more troops, 5000 people, I will definitely feel embarrassed.pity……

"Military division, why don't you go to the rescue?"

"The plan to divide the troops is just to relieve Quyang's pressure."

Chen Gong sneered and said, "I'm not going to be fooled... Give me an order to order the rear army to defend. I don't believe that they dare to rush into my army camp."

To rush into battle requires extremely brave and brave generals.

If it was Lu Bu or Zhang Liao, Chen Gong would not dare to let it go.

He drew out his sword, waved it in the air, and shouted sharply: "The three armies continue to attack the city, I only want Quyang, attack the city, attack the city!"

In an instant, the shouts of killing became louder and louder.

Lu Ji straddled his horse and turned his head to look at the army behind.

He pondered for a while, and said softly: "Military division, otherwise... I will take someone over to see, at least the situation can be stabilized."
