As night fell, the Ming army battalion rushed out of 5,000 horsemen and headed towards Xingyang, starting the "noise" of the night.

The night is getting deeper, Cao Zhen is sleeping well these days, but after listening for a while, he fell asleep in the city gate cave.

"Are you all rested?"

Can you rest well for half a night?

"General Hui, it's all right."

"That's good!" Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Everyone silently left the camp and went to Xingyang, whether they can take it or not depends on today's battle." ”

After learning that Cao Zhen had arrived in Xingyang, Zhang Liao sent a letter to Gao Shun to report, replying that he still wanted to take Xingyang, but the difference was that he added an order to capture or kill Cao Zhen alive. This is also the reason why Zhang Liao has not made a move for many days, because it is enough to take Xingyang with a tired enemy, but Cao Zhen is likely to escape from it and will not be able to achieve the desired goal.

When Zhang Liao set off for Xingyang, Cao Tai also came to Xingyang.

"Knock knock...... Kill...... Knock knock knock ......"

"What's going on?"

Cao Tai didn't know before he came, and suddenly heard such a big movement in the middle of the night, and his heart was shocked and anxious. It was just the dark night sky, covering his eyes.

"Let's go, go see what's going on!" Cao Tai eagerly parted a sentence to several of his own soldiers beside him, then threw away the torches in his hands and rushed towards Xingyang.

"General, wait for us!" The soldiers hurriedly caught up, but did not throw away the torches in their hands, because they could not see the way clearly. They are not soldiers of the Ming army, but also generals like Cao Tai, who have night blindness.

"Boom, Boom......"

The sound of the air breaking caused the torches to be shot to the ground like targets.

"Who?"

Cao Tai was startled again, rolled to the side, and lay directly on the ground, clenching the blade in his hand to scan the darkness under the night. Look, he didn't see anything, Cao Tai had to prick up his ears and listen carefully.

Quiet, very quiet! It's terrifyingly quiet!

Cao Taiqiang resisted the impulse in his heart, and gently crawled towards a dense grass bush on the left side that he had found before.

"Damn, if Ben catches you, you won't die a good death!" Cao Tai had never suffered such an insult today, and as soon as he climbed into the grass, he secretly swore, "The Ming army, it must be the Ming army, they like this the most, they always carry out sneak attacks in the dark, it must be them!" ”

Suddenly.

A few bird calls came into his ears, and Cao Tai felt that something was wrong, so he became vigilant.

"Twitter~" "Cuckoo~" "Chirp~"

"Where did the cuckoo come from on this day?" Cao Tai finally heard that something was wrong, and suddenly he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that he would be discovered because of the slightly louder movement.

Cao Tai's luck was good and he was not discovered. But that's all, the hundreds of remnants he scattered were attacked and killed by the Ming army within a radius of twenty miles from Xingyang City, and only a few cowards who were too frightened to go to Xingyang when they heard the movement were lucky to escape.

"What should I do?"

This is a difficult problem that Cao Tai has to face.

Zhang Liao rushed to Xingyang, arranged all the matters for the siege, and the news about Cao Tai and others came here.

"Who is it? Could it be that Cao Tai is just attacking the west? That's not right, how to reinforce Xingyang? Well...... Could it be that because of our movements, they couldn't enter the city smoothly, so they sent people like this? That's not right......"

Zhang Liao thought for a while, his face changed, and he shouted, "Not good! Quick, siege! Otherwise, things may change! ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Guan Hai and said, "Old Guan, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem at all!"

Zhang Liao didn't believe it all, looked at Guan Hai seriously, saw his firmness on his face, sighed in his heart, and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Yes, General."

Zhang Liao patted him on the shoulder, and then also stood among the thousands of people selected with a knife, but it was a little far away.

Guan Hai knew that this was to avoid being discovered, and he didn't mind, so he went to the stretcher he was carrying next to him and said, "Let's go!" ”

Not far from the south gate of Xingyang, sporadic torches suddenly appeared, which made the defenders at the head of the city nervous.

"Lord Lieutenant, there are enemies!"

"What's the matter, Lao Tzu is not blind, can't he see?" The lieutenant said angrily.

The Cao army at the head of the city smiled awkwardly, they were so nervous these days, they always felt that the Ming army would enter the city in a blink of an eye. But shouting and shouting like this made everyone relax a lot.

"Everyone, be careful!"

The same is true of the lieutenant, and then he turned his head and shouted: "The Ming army has only harassed but not attacked the city for many days, but today it has made this move, it is likely that it is about to attack the city, everyone cheer up and listen to the orders of the commander of the capital." ”

"Yes, Captain."

"Open the city gate quickly, we are the people of the general of the guard, and we came to help on the order of the prime minister, but near the Ming army in Yuting, General Cao was seriously injured, please open the city gate for the sake of my colleagues, and let my general enter the city to heal."

"What?" Captain Xingyang was shocked. Cao Ren's name is not as big as the original history, and his son is naturally even smaller, but Cao Tai has a Cao character no matter what. Besides, Cao Zhen had mentioned to them a few days ago that Cao Tai would lead troops to help, so he didn't doubt it.

Just as he was about to give the order to open the city gate, the governor of Xingyang suddenly remembered that Cao Zhen had said "be careful of the Ming army's deception", so he replied in a loud voice: "I don't know who your general's surname is and what name he has?" Whose descendants are they? ”

"Okay, you bastard, don't my General Cao Tai know? At that time, this matter will definitely be reported to General Zhennan to know. ”

When the Lieutenant of Xingyang heard this, he was overjoyed: Yes, it is indeed General Cao Tai's person!

"Quick, open the city gate and accept General Cao Tai into the city!" As he spoke, Lieutenant Xingyang was already thinking about how he would soar after rescuing Cao Tai.

"Where is the Cao Tai dog thief!"

Before the gates were opened, shouts were heard in the distance.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! It is necessary to bring General Cao Tai into the city safely, otherwise General Zhennan will be guilty, and our little lieutenant will not be able to afford it. "In public and private, the lieutenants of Xingyang are all eager.

"Hurry up and open the door, hurry up and open the door, the Ming army is coming, the Ming army is coming, ...... quickly"

At the gate of the city, Guan Hai listened to the sound of the door opening and the eagerness of his subordinates, and felt both amused and a little anxious in his heart: Hurry, hurry!

As if hearing Guan Hai's heart, the city gate opened a lot faster, and in the blink of an eye, a fist cracked. And yet, at this moment—

"The general has an order, no one is allowed to open the city gate without permission!"

Guan Hai heard the shouts in the city, his heart was in a hurry, he turned down the stretcher, and the big knife in his hand was cut open at once, and two people became dead souls under the knife.

Guan Hai didn't think much about it, threw away the big knife in his hand, and propped up the city gate with both hands and pushed in: "Quick, push together!" ”

Such a change was something that Cao Jun in the city did not expect, whether it was Cao Zhen's order or Guan Hai's beheading. was stunned for such a moment, and it really made Guan Hai and others push the city gate open half a foot away, just enough to allow one person to enter the city sideways.

"Go on, Ben will stop them." Guan Hai felt some pain in his chest, let go of his hands, picked up the big knife on the ground and walked into the city with one side.

"This is the enemy, stop them!" At this time, Cao Jun in the city finally came to his senses.

"Humph!" Hearing this, Guan Hai just smiled coldly, and the big knife in his hand swung up, cutting off the hands of a few guys who reached out to close the city.

"Kill him, or once the city is broken, we will all die, and our families will also die!"

Cao Jun's soldiers' eyes turned red instantly, and they looked after Hai as if they were the enemies who killed their fathers and mothers.

Guan Hai didn't have time to think about what the city broke had to do with whether they died or not, and whether their families died or not, he saw that all the Cao troops were rushing towards raising swords and guns.

"Die!" Guan Hai Senran smiled, waved his knife and sent the Cao soldiers who had been cut off from the underworld.

The Cao soldiers turned a deaf ear to this, and just culled as always.

Guan Hai's face changed, and the big knife moved again, stopping them in time, but he also seemed a little in a hurry, and-

"I didn't expect that the knife I cut before would help the enemy!"

The stabbing pain in his chest made Guan Hai a little uneasy, but it also aroused the ruthlessness in his heart. At the beginning, he was able to stand out from the crowd of yellow scarves, and martial arts were only secondary, relying on ruthlessness.

"A hundred people will enter the city with Ben, and the rest will continue to open the city gates!"

Zhang Liao finally came to the front from the back, and just as the city gate had been opened more than two feet, he stepped into the back of the door with a big knife.

"Puff~"

With a knife that slashed a Cao army soldier who wanted to sneak attack, Zhang Liao saw that something was wrong with Guan Hai and asked, "Old Guan, how are you?" ”

"General, we're fine!" Guan Hai gritted his teeth and responded.

It's really fine

Zhang Liao wanted to ask again, but he didn't want to let out a sudden shout, and fought forward. Zhang Liao can not bother again, if he talks too much and causes his colleagues to die, he will not be able to care.

"Wow...... Puff, puff......"

It was a little scary for Zhang Liao to start his hands seriously, as soon as the soldiers of the Cao army had no enemy, they were easily killed.
