Zang Ba has been on the battlefield for so many years, and what he said is naturally correct. Although Cao Zhang is commendable for his courage, with only a thousand men, trying to raid an army of nearly 20,000 men outside the city is tantamount to sending sheep in.
Tiger's mouth! After Cao Zhang rushed out of the city with the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family and more than a thousand soldiers, they rushed directly towards the Western Qin army outside the city. However, Cao Zhang's soldiers and horses were quickly overwhelmed by the large Western Qin army.
The Qin army formation was swallowed up! Cao Ang on the top of the city stopped beating the drum. He, Cao Zhen and others were watching the battle outside the city nervously, especially when he saw the soldiers behind Cao Zhang getting more and more serious.
When he was young, Cao Ang clenched his hands into fists and punched the female wall hard from time to time!
It's a pity that Cao Ang's encouragement on the top of the city was unable to help Cao Zhang outside the city. Although Cao Zhang was extremely brave, he still had to face too many enemies! Especially the commander-in-chief of the Youzhou army outside the city.
, it is Bingzhou generals Song Xian and Wei Xu! These two people may not be considered too strong in terms of ability, but after so many years of hard work on the battlefield, their experience is much stronger than Cao Zhang! In their
Under the command of Cao Zhang, the Youzhou Army first gave way to the passage in front of Cao Zhang. Instead, two soldiers and horses circled behind Cao Zhang and others, immediately cutting off Cao Zhang's retreat!
After the retreat of Cao Wei's army was cut off, Song Xian and Wei Xu issued the order with a tacit understanding. More than 20,000 troops directly surrounded and killed more than a thousand Cao Wei soldiers led by Cao Zhang!
Cao Zhang relied on his own martial arts to continuously slash and kill the enemies on the left and right, but the subordinates behind him were not as powerful as him! The fight lasted for more than two hours, and Cao Zhang brought out
More than a thousand Cao Wei soldiers were killed in battle! Cao Zhang was left alone in the center of the battlefield, facing the enemies slowly approaching from all sides. His whole body was soaked with blood, but he still held a big sword in his hand and looked at it ferociously.
enemies around.
"No! I have to go out of the city to save my third brother!" Seeing Cao Zhang fighting with blood, Cao Ang couldn't bear it any longer. He punched the female wall hard and turned around to leave. Although there were all kinds of conflicts between Cao Ang and Cao Zhang in the past.
Such a conflict, but now that they have reconciled, and Cao Zhang is his biological brother after all, how can Cao Ang watch Cao Zhang fall into enemy territory?
"My lord, think twice!" Seeing Cao Ang's move, Cao Zhen who was on the side immediately stepped forward to stop Cao Ang, knelt down and shouted: "My lord! Third Young Master, he had already expected such a result when he left the city this time! If
If the lord leaves the city now, not only will he not be able to save the third young master, but he will also lose his own life. Wouldn't this be a failure to live up to the third young master's sacrifice?"
"But, but, how can I just watch my third brother die at the hands of the enemy? How can I have the dignity to see my father's spirit in heaven?" Cao Zhen's words made sense, but Cao Ang couldn't let go just like that.
, turned to look at Cao Zhang, who was still fighting outside the city.
"Lord!" Cao Zhen continued to persuade: "Actually, the sacrifice of the Third Young Master has achieved its goal. Even if the Third Young Master's army is wiped out in such a battle, it will greatly damage the morale of the Western Qin army outside the city. At least the enemy will not be able to defeat the enemy."
Dare to launch an attack on Dongjun easily! Next, we can only hope that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Xiandengying can come back as soon as possible to rescue Dongjun! Please think again, my lord!"
"Please think twice, my lord!" As Cao Zhen shouted, the surrounding Cao Wei ministers such as Man Chong, Liu Ye, Mao Jie and others knelt in front of Cao Ang and tried to persuade Cao Ang in unison. A large number of people knelt down, but
Zang Ba and others standing in the corner of the city seemed to stand out from the crowd. Zang Ba glanced at Cao Zhen who was kneeling on the ground, curled his lips, and finally bent his knees slightly and pretended to kneel down.
With so many people trying to dissuade him, Cao Ang had to give up his decision. At this moment, another scream came from outside the city. It was Cao Zhang's voice! When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately rushed to the female wall.
Staring outside the city with wide eyes, they saw that in the center of the battlefield outside the city, as the commanders of the Youzhou Army, Song Xian and Wei Xu finally started to take action! Song Xian's action was a surprise attack.
He rushed out from behind Cao Zhang, raised his spear and stabbed Cao Zhang's mount!
Cao Zhang's horse was stabbed in the neck by Song Xian, and it immediately neighed, raised its front hooves, and knocked Cao Zhang off the horse! As soon as he saw Cao Zhang being overturned by the horse, Cao Ang immediately became nervous
He threw himself on the female wall. If Cao Zhen hadn't caught him with quick eyesight and quick hands, Cao Ang would have rushed out of the wall and fell down!
When the dust and smoke dissipated, Cao Zhang had already stood up, still holding the sword tightly with both hands! At this time, several more soldiers of the Western Qin Army rushed over with their spears, and the spears suddenly pierced Cao Zhang! Cao Zhang was furious
With a shout, he jumped up suddenly, and those spears brushed against the soles of Cao Zhang's feet. Cao Zhang turned over in the air and quickly cut off the heads of those Western Qin soldiers with his big knife!
But just as Cao Zhang landed, another row of spears stabbed him from behind. Cao Zhang only had time to turn around and block, and the row of spears just blocked Cao Zhang's sword. Although Cao Zhang was powerful, he was only one person after all.
How can the strength be compared to the combined strength of the opponent's ten or so people! After pulling it out several times, the sword was firmly held by the row of spears, and on the other side, dozens of Western Qin soldiers rushed to kill him.
Come here! A flash of red light flashed in Cao Zhang's eyes. He loosened his hands and directly grasped the hilt of the Yitian Sword hanging at his waist!
"Choke!" With a wave of Cao Zhang's hand, the Yitian Sword came out of its sheath, and with a flash of cold light, all the Western Qin soldiers who were besieged around Cao Zhang were killed! The Yitian Sword is worthy of being a world-famous sword.
, this sharpness is enough to stun people!
"Drink!" Cao Zhang had killed the Western Qin soldiers who were blocking him, and was about to bend down to pick up his sword, but there was another shout, and Wei Xu, who had been ambushing beside him, suddenly rushed forward on horseback.
When he came over, the spear stabbed straight towards Cao Zhang's chest! Cao Zhang was forced to give up picking up his sword and waved his sword to block Wei Xu's attack!
Just when Cao Zhang blocked Wei Xu's attack and was about to launch a counterattack with his sword, Wei Xu pulled the reins and retreated again! Obviously Wei Xu knew very well that he was no match for Cao Zhang and did not compete with him at all.
Cao Zhang meant to fight hard! Wei Xu's actions made Cao Zhang very angry, but he couldn't do anything to Wei Xu! At this time, other soldiers from the Western Qin Dynasty also gathered around again, and everyone was crazy
He rushed towards Cao Zhang, even if he only hurt Cao Zhang at all, he had achieved his goal!
The fighting lasted for an hour. The sun had already set in the west, and the bloody sunset fell on the battlefield and the top of the city. Finally, Cao Ang, who had been watching the battle on the top of the city, went limp, and his whole body was also due to the loss of strength.
And collapsed on the ground, so shocked that Cao Zhen and others around him hurriedly stepped forward to help him. But on the battlefield outside the city, the originally densest group dispersed, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
.In the middle area, corpses were already piled up like a mountain. A burly figure still stood at the top of the pile of corpses, but there was no longer any life in his empty eyes.
Song Xian and Wei Xu looked at their opponent who had to stand upright even if he died, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. There was a wound on Wei Xu's arm, and blood stains were still oozing out from time to time. It was just that Cao Zhang had just fought to the death on Wei Xu.
The wounds left on his body. Song Xian nodded and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Give this man a rich burial!"
"Here!" the soldier shouted with clasped fists, and immediately went to carry out Song Xian's order, while Wei Xu raised his head and glanced at the sky, then looked back at the top of the city, and said to Song Xian in a deep voice: "Old Song!
It seems that we won’t be able to attack the city these days! The morale of the soldiers is a little low after being tricked like this by the opponent!"
"Then just wait!" Song Xian shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Didn't we receive the news from our lord two days ago? The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Xianden camp that besieged Changyuan have been completely wiped out.
Cao Wei has no force left to rescue him! It will be a matter of time before he breaks through Dongjun City! If they are willing to delay, then let's delay!" Song Xian and Wei Xu are both veterans on the battlefield, so they can naturally guess that Cao Wei's army sent such a force
The purpose of the army going out of the city to fight. However, the two sides have different intelligence, which leads to different effects of the strategies set! In the eyes of Song Xian and Wei Xu, the efforts made by the Cao Wei army in the city,
It's all in vain!
Naturally, the people on the top of the city would not know about this. After helping Cao Ang up and making sure that there was nothing else wrong with Cao Ang, Cao Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look outside the city and saw that the Western Qin army was slowly retreating.
, Cao Zhen also knew that Cao Zhang's sacrifice finally had an effect. Then Cao Zhen turned to Cao Ang and said: "My lord! The enemy has temporarily retreated. I believe they will not attack the city in the next few days! Please write a letter to my lord!"
Feng, send someone to Changyuan to ask for help!"
Cao Zhen's words finally brought Cao Ang back from his grief. Cao Ang nodded somewhat dullly and slowly walked down the city with the support of the soldiers on the left and right. Other important officials of Cao Wei also left one after another, and
The last ones walking were Zang Ba and his lieutenants. Looking at the backs of everyone walking down the city, Zang Ba couldn't help curling his lips and humming: "This Cao Zhen is really troublesome. If he hadn't persuaded him,
If we live in Cao'ang, we can save a lot of trouble as long as Cao'ang leaves the city!"
"Commander!" A deputy general next to Zang Ba rolled his eyes and suddenly said to Zang Ba: "Actually, this is better! Cao Zhang's trouble makes it impossible for the Western Qin Army to conquer Dongjun for the time being! If we
At this time, we can hand over Dongjun City! Wouldn’t the Western Qin Army value us more? Brothers will have more status in the Western Qin Army in the future!"
"Oh!" Hearing the deputy general's words, Zang Ba's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be quite interested!
