Looking at Cao Ang's posture now, Xiahou Yuan and the others finally knew who he had learned his marksmanship with.

Inch gun, the original Hebei General Hall twelve sages under the night marshal, Qingzhou deputy commander Zhou Heng's unique skills.

This kind of marksmanship requires extremely high arm strength of the user.

Because the difference between an inch gun and a general gun technique is that when attacking the enemy, there is room to make changes at the last minute according to the opponent's reaction.

This requires the user to be able to fully control the force and be extremely strong in handling the gun.

The advantage of this kind of spear art is that it can change the attack unexpectedly after the enemy has reacted, so that the enemy cannot respond quickly and win.

Although Zhou Heng has a short temper, he is extremely patient with people who love martial arts.

On weekdays, he has nothing to hide, and when any soldier asks for the essentials when he has nothing to do, he also tells it without reservation.

However, it seems easy to practice a gun, but it is very difficult to practice.

After stabbing with all your might, you have to completely stop it at the last minute and exert it again, while at the same time ensuring precision, which is not something that anyone can do.

After a while, all the soldiers who wanted to learn this stunt could only shake their heads and smile bitterly when they looked at their swollen arms.

However, there is such a persistent person - Cao Ang.

Although he didn't tell anyone, this kid insisted on practicing every day after asking for the essentials.

Of course, suffering was inevitable, but even when his arm was so sore that he couldn't even hold the chopsticks, he didn't give up.

It was this perseverance that enabled him to finally learn the true meaning.

When Zhou Heng learned about this, he was also surprised. Therefore, without anyone including Cao Cao knowing, Zhou Heng took Cao Ang as an apprentice and taught him more superb techniques.

Today, it is the first time that Cao Ang has used this technique in actual combat.

……

Zhang Xian looked at Cao Ang and also determined one thing, that is, this kid should also be serious.

He stuck his long knife into the ground and untied a chain from his waist with a steel spike at the tip.

This is his real blade, the blade of the Nightfront.

It's just that after he became a general, he didn't use it much.

But Zhang Xian was also a restless man, so he had the whim to combine this kind of assassin soldier with a long knife.

After attaching an iron ring to the end of the long knife, he was able to attach the chain to it. When he was fine, he secretly studied it himself, and finally was able to use it flexibly, but he never showed this combination in front of others.

Looking at Cao Ang's eyes, Zhang Xian knew that he had to be serious.

Therefore, he also jumped off the war horse, because he was more comfortable below than the horse war.

A long-time assassin, he certainly knew what those eyes meant.

In this way, the two who have never been masked have taken out their housekeeping skills.

……

While Cao Ang was preparing, he also carefully observed Zhang Xian's weapon.

If this person can really wield this weapon with ease, then he will have some ability.

The combination of a strong long knife and a feminine iron chain also requires a high degree of control.

Cao Ang tentatively took two steps forward, and Zhang Xian held the long knife and iron thorn in his hand at the same time, and slowly leaned down.

After only a split second, both sides erupted at the same time and rushed towards their opponents.

"Whew!" To Cao Ang's surprise, something happened.

He thought that Zhang Xian must have thrown out the steel spike first, and when he dodged, he used the long knife to deliver a fatal blow.

However, this unreasonable opponent actually clenched the end of the steel thorn and threw the long knife!

This is what makes Zhang Xian unique, he still retains the same personality as an Assassin - he likes to look at people up close and look in their desperate eyes.

At the same time that the long knife was thrown, Zhang Xian also burst out with an astonishing speed, accelerating with him, and rushed towards Cao Ang.

Cao Ang was also surprised by Zhang Xian's speed, because he was able to keep the chain between the long knife he threw and the steel spike he clenched at all times.

There was no time to think, because the long knife was already in front of him.

The knife flew towards his left shoulder, while Zhang Xian aimed at his right abdomen.

Zhang Xian's way of taking it was to kill it by stimulating people's instincts.

If there is danger on the left, the average person will instinctively dodge to the right, so that he will hit the steel spike right away.

However, as a person who cultivates inch guns, Cao Ang naturally has an extraordinary reaction speed.

He retracted his spear and crouched down at the same time, slashing the blade of the spear with the tail of the spear.

Ignoring the sawdust cut by the blade above his head, Cao Ang took a step with his right foot, and at the same time pushed his right hand outward, grabbed the tail of the gun with his left hand and pulled it inward, sending the spear blade horizontally to Zhang Xian's chest.

Zhang Xian naturally didn't expect the other party to deal like this, so he hurriedly retracted his moves, held the steel thorn vertically, and blocked the gun.

However, this is not ordinary marksmanship, but an inch gun.

At the moment when the spear was blocked, Cao Ang withdrew his left foot from behind him and stretched it out to the right, rotated his body with his back to Zhang Xian, and the barrel of the gun was on his right shoulder.

This is the preparation for the next move.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ang's arms pushed hard at Zhang Xian behind him at the same time.

In Zhang Xian's opinion, the spear blade, which had already been blocked, was like a poisonous snake, bypassing the steel spike from the left side, and quickly attacked him again.

And the speed of this move was indeed beyond his reaction.

With his speed, Zhang Xian struggled to dodge at the last moment.

"Poof!"

The spear still stabbed him in the left abdomen, but it didn't go too deep due to his final dodge.

Zhang Xian covered the wound in his abdomen with his left hand, and pulled the steel thorn back with his right hand, driving the long knife that had already fallen back to his hand.

"Your Excellency's skills are also exquisite, but they are fighting on the battlefield, so don't use such a light weapon." Cao Ang turned around and said.

When he opened the long knife just now, he noticed something unusual, because the knife was much lighter than the average one.

Of course, it will be light, Zhang Xian is not known for his strength after all, if he wants to be able to throw it with one hand, the weight of this knife naturally cannot be too heavy.

In fact, the inside of his blade was empty, and every time he went to battle, he tried his best to avoid encountering the enemy, fearing that his sword would shatter the moment the blades struck.

"Huh...... Not yet ...... Please ask your Excellency's name. Although Zhang Xian's abdomen was still bleeding, he also asked with a reluctant smile.

"In Xia Cao Ang."

"Huh...... Really...... Tiger fathers have no dog sons. ”

"Let's go."

"You're not going to kill me?"

"In the battle of warriors, the winner has been decided. Now that the enemy has been defeated, it will be killing if he starts again, and Ang does not want to do it. ”

"That'...... Thank you so much, Childe. ”

Zhang Xian led the horse with a knife and walked towards his own formation. Over there, Xu Yuan and Lei Xu had already come out to answer.

Cao Ang's war horse had already stood up, he turned over his horse, and slowly returned to his military formation.

……

"Lord, Shen Shuai, I have disappointed you." Zhang Xian was supported by the two of them, and said to Zhang Xiu and Shen Rong.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace, let's go down and bandage the wound first." Zhang Xiu has always had a very good feeling about these subordinates, and naturally he won't blame anything.

Shen Rong also stepped forward to check it, and when he saw that there was no major problem, he relieved himself.

And what to do next, no one needs to say.

"Mingjin retreats!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order, and walked towards his own camp with soldiers and horses.

The only thing that was a little surprising was that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong did not order to take advantage of the victory to chase and kill.

Of course Xiahou Yuan won't.

Unlike his brother Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan's personality tends to be more stable.

Since the single fight in front of the battle has already gained the upper hand, and the opponent's morale is low and he retreats, why should he pursue it again. If you are in a hurry and fall into the enemy's trap, it will only be more than worth the loss.

Anyway, as long as you can block Zhang Xiu's advance, you can't lose anything if you consume it like this.

It's just that the only one who can be as stable as him now is Cao Hong.

The eldest prince won the first battle, and his subordinates had already cheered.

Since Cao Ang was also close to the soldiers on weekdays, everyone was not so jealous of him, and now they all surrounded him and praised him.

Cao Zhen was also happy for him, although he had expected that he would not be defeated, but just before the battle, he could already vaguely see the wind of a general.

Xiahou Yuan didn't intend to stop it, so he let them celebrate the triumph like this.

When it comes to boosting morale like this, he certainly doesn't pour cold water.

Moreover, if this congratulatory voice can be heard by Zhang Xiu, he must be mad......

————————————————

However, whenever the sun is shining, there are always shadows in some corners......

Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Xudu.

Sixian Lao sat on the chair and looked at the woman in front of him with some uneasiness, Dong Lin.

She is the daughter of Dong Cheng, a general of the chariot cavalry, and the concubine of the Han Emperor Liu Xie.

Today, for some reason, she suddenly wanted to see the four sages.

Originally, it was inconvenient for the four sages to come to this harem, but Dong Guiren had a life, and he couldn't refuse.

"I heard that the virtuous old man was originally a Hanchen, but it was only because the first emperor listened to slander that he went into exile."

"Yes, Lao Chen was originally the postal supervisor in the eastern part of Shanyang, and he had to flee because of the rebellion of the party."

"If today's son is shengming, and the virtuous old man has been reused, it is really a blessing for the world and a blessing for the Han."

"The Son of Heaven will not give up, and the old minister will do his best to assist."

After talking for a long time, the four sages couldn't understand what she meant.

"Virtuous Elder, in your opinion, how is Cao Cao better than Dong Zhuo?"

"This ......"

"It's okay for the virtuous old man to say it directly."

"Everyone in the world says that Dong Zhuo is a person who brings disaster to the country and disturbs the dynasty, and General Cao has a meritorious escort, how can he be compared."

"Poof!" Dong Guiren couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand and smile when he heard this, "It is said that people are old and fine, and this is indeed the case." ”

"The old minister doesn't dare."

"Okay, I won't go around in circles with the virtuous elders. It is not a secret, such as today's situation, there is no difference between it and when he was in Chang'an. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Whether it is a virtuous minister or a traitorous minister, if there is chaos today, who is really afraid of the majesty of the Han Dynasty?"

The four sages raised their heads, but found that there was murderous energy in this woman's eyes.

"What Your Majesty needs is to serve all over the world, not a powerful minister like Cao Cao. His Majesty has not yet noticed it, but after a long time, he will definitely be controlled by Cao Cao. ”

"Ah......h

"Therefore, inviting the virtuous elder to come over today is to discuss how to get rid of this threat!"

The fourth elder didn't answer, but the hands on his lap had already grabbed his clothes into a ball before he knew it.
