Chapter 445: Nowhere to Run

Cao Su picked up the four-stone crossbow, aimed at the Wu army scouts a hundred steps away, and pulled the crossbow machine.

The crossbow arrows whistled away, and a white and fat Wu army scout didn't have time to react, he was hit by an arrow in the thigh, rolled over and fell to the ground, and let out a terrible scream. His companions were horrified, and they looked around.

Cao Su was not in a hurry, and buckled another arrow.

These crossbows and arrows were all taken from Jiang Wei's hands, they were light and accurate, and they couldn't put it down after using it a few times.

The same is true of the essence armor on his body, which is unimaginably strong. Unless they were extremely unlucky and encountered a super weapon like a ten-stone strong crossbow, thirty paces away, Wu Guo's bow and crossbow were almost harmless to them. In close combat, it also protects them from most damage, allowing them to attack without hesitation.

In the contest with the scouts of the Wu State, these weapons made by Shu Han played an unimaginable role.

I have to say that the workmanship is much stronger than that of Wei, Zhuge Liang still has a set, and it is not in vain that Cao Miao spent so much effort calculating Jiang Wei.

It's worth it, it's worth it.

Cao Su thought as he picked up his crossbow again. He deliberately shot and wounded the Wu scout, instead of shooting him, to attract other Wu scouts to come to the rescue, so as to achieve continuous killing.

From the armor and emblem on his body, it can be seen that it was a small officer such as a squad leader and a commander, not an ordinary non-commissioned officer. According to Cao Su's understanding of Wu Jun, officers of this level are usually the sons of wealthy and powerful people, or even a branch of a certain big clan.

These people can't start as county commanders and taishou like the children of the big clan, and they don't need to be ordinary soldiers like ordinary people, they will start from middle and lower-level officers such as team leaders and tun commanders, and after accumulating a little military merit, they can be promoted to military marquis and captain, and get out of the most dangerous front line.

This has created a problem: whether these people's martial arts are good or not, whether they are bad or not. They have some actual combat experience, but they are not rich, but they have status, and the soldiers under their command must not only obey their orders, but also do their best to ensure their safety, otherwise they will be severely punished by military law.

Shoot them and you can hold them back and make it impossible for them to escape.

Sure enough, amid the crying and scolding of the junior officer, a non-commissioned officer of Wu rushed out, shielded with one hand with a shield, and dragged the junior officer by the collar with the other, and dragged him to the hiding place. The shield was too small to hide two people. The petty officer was too fat, and the sergeant dragged it with great difficulty.

Cao Su easily waited for his chance, and fired another arrow to knock the soldier down.

One more chip.

After nearly three hours of confrontation, Cao Su cooperated with the five tribes to kill all the Wu army scouts. They calmly took the crossbow arrows and useful supplies they had fired, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

When Zhou Yi received the report and arrived with the personal guard battalion, Cao Su had already left. Looking at the mess in one place and the shadows of the mountains, Zhou Yi's mood was extremely heavy, and he let out a long sigh.

Although Cao Su's troops are small, they are elusive and extremely strong in combat. There are fewer troops, and they can't catch him. There are many troops, and he cannot be found. If you are not careful, you will be lured into unfavorable terrain by him, and it is likely to be an embarrassing situation of annihilation.

Cao Xiu actually has such a capable son?

——

Cao Su returned to the station, and saw Cao Miao sitting opposite Xiahou Hui, looking relaxed, and he didn't know what to say.

After having the medicinal materials, Xiahou Hui's body recovered quickly, and his mood also changed significantly. Especially in the relationship with Cao Miao, the hatred of life and death disappeared unconsciously, but he became more and more strict with Cao Miao.

"It seems that Desi has taken advantage of Zhou Yi again." Cao Miao said.

Cao Su grinned proudly and sat down next to Cao Miao. "Yunliang, those tactics you said are too easy to use." He gave Xiahou Hui a thumbs up again. "I didn't expect you to be so clear about the affairs of Wu Guo, those barbarians are really brainless, knowing that they are dead, they still rush up one after another."

Xiahou Hui snorted: "You have a good background, so naturally you can't understand the difficulties of those ordinary soldiers." ”

Cao Su pursed his lips and muttered. Xiahou Hui is not a person from a poor background, and he doesn't know where he came from.

"Yunliang said something just now, I want to discuss it with you."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you want to make some trouble for Zhou Yi, or do you want to compete with all the Wu army, including the Trouble-Relief Battalion?"

Cao Su was silent. No matter how crazy he is, he is not to the point of challenging all the Wu troops or even the camp of relieving trouble. The difference in strength between the two sides is too great. He won every battle, and if he lost, he could be wiped out. The Wu army has been defeated in a hundred battles, and as long as it seizes an opportunity, it is possible to make a comprehensive comeback.

"What do you think?"

"Zhou Yi has not entered the army for a long time, I am afraid that he is waiting for the nearby counties to join in. If it's just Zhou Yi, that's it. The other Taishou may not be able to listen to him all. But if Mrs. Sun or Princess Sun came forward, no one would dare to be careless. At that time, it will be difficult for us to get out of the blockade on all sides. ”

"So what?"

"We want to let Mrs. Sun and Princess Sun know that we have no intention of being their enemy. The battle between you and Zhou Yi is a personal vendetta, nothing more. ”

Cao Su laughed. "Can they believe it?"

"There's a chance." Xiahou Hui said: "They lead the army with women, and they have never been supported by the civil and military forces of the Wu State. If someone discourages these people, they won't object. Even if you don't accept it on the surface, you won't go all out when you act. ”

Xiahou Hui glanced at Cao Miao again. "Considering Yunliang's safety, Princess Sun will also throw a rat bogey."

Cao Su thought about it for a while, accepted Xiahou Hui's suggestion, and agreed to arrange for someone to send a female guard who came with Cao Miao back to report to Sun Luban, expressing his willingness to be an enemy. If the escort can return smoothly, they can also take the opportunity to know Sun Luban's location, so that they will not be ignorant.

Xiahou Hui waved his hand, motioned for the maids and guards to withdraw, and handed Cao Su a glass of water. "There's one more thing I want to ask you."

Cao Su was about to drink the water, but when he heard Xiahou Hui's words, his hands trembled, and he didn't dare to drink it. "Why don't you speak first?"

"Do you think the Son of Heaven is surnamed Cao or Yuan?"

Cao Su was silent for a long time, but he didn't say a complete sentence. He understood that it was a matter of life and death, but he had no solution and could only pretend not to know. is busy fighting every day, although there is the meaning of tossing Zhou Yi, but there is also a motive behind it that I don't want to think about these headaches.

Now Xiahou Hui has broken through this illusion, so that he can't escape.

"There are some things that you can't hide from if you want to, you have to face them." Xiahou Hui said unhurriedly: "This is not a struggle for power and profit within the sect, but it is related to the ownership of the Great Wei River. You don't think that once the Yuan clan seizes the Great Wei Jiangshan, they will open up to the Great Sima Net, right? ”

Cao Su squeaked and didn't know what to say.

"One thing, you should know that according to this trend, no matter whether we can return to Luoyang or not, Taiwei may be reactivated."

Cao Su's face changed suddenly. Sima Yi and Sima Shi were both injured by him, how could Sima Yi spare their father and son when he came back?

This enmity cannot be dissolved.
