Chapter 646: The coalition forces attack Xiangcheng again

But even so, Huang Zhong himself has never regretted it. Until he met Ma Chao, in his opinion, his lord is himself, his son, a noble man in his own family, if it weren't for his lord, he wouldn't have his own today.

This was the first tentative attack of the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, and it was over. Although Cao Ren and the others were not satisfied, they naturally had to accept and accept such a result, and they had to accept it if they didn't accept it. However, they all know that Huang Zhong is powerful, stronger than Gan Ning, and they all know this. So for such a result, even if there is indeed a gap with what they think, it does not mean that they can't accept it at all.

But now for Cao Ren, their difficulties are not grain and grass, but their own people. Not only the people of their Yanzhou Army, but also the Jiangdong Army. Cao Ren and Lu Su didn't think that with their own people now, they would definitely be able to break the Linxiang City guarded by Huang Zhong. After all, there are a lot of people in the city, although it is not as good as their own, but after all, they are the defenders of the city, and they have an absolute advantage, and they are attacking the city on both sides, and they do not have an advantage.

After returning to the big tent, Cao Ren said ∵⊥ few words briefly, which was nothing more than words like making persistent efforts tomorrow. However, he had no intention of replacing Niu Jin. But looking at him like that, it seems that he is indeed preparing to let him and Cao Zhen go together again. Even if Cao Zhen is self-aware, he knows that although he has good ability, his experience is limited. However, for the sake of Cao Ren, his nephew, he can also be regarded as able to show an old face. Go and talk to Lu Su more.

In fact, Lu Su also intended to let Niu Jin and Cao Zhen together. As for letting Zhang Liao go up, or everyone going up, he is the same as Cao Ren for the time being, and he doesn't mean that. The last time they were in Luo County, in the end, it was still a last resort, they made such a decision, but at this moment, at least this time. They really don't want to do that. So he and Cao Ren thought about it similarly, so much so that Cao Ren just mentioned it to Lu Su, and he agreed.

At this time, Lu Su smiled at Cao Ren and said: "General Cao, now General Niu is alone, and he is really not that Huang Zhong's opponent, so it is necessary to send more people!" ”――

This directly shows that he, Lu Su, agrees with what Cao Ren mentioned before, because he also has this idea. Of course, Lu Su knew Cao Zhen's ability. In addition to the lack of experience, other places, but more than Niu Jin. So it's okay to let him go out again.

Cao Ren listened. laughed, and then said to Cao Zhen: "Zidan, since Mr. also gave you such a chance." Don't let everyone down! ”

Cao Zhen hurriedly said to Cao Ren and Lu Su: "Thank you, General, Mr. Xie!" ”

Lu Su smiled and nodded to Cao Zhen. Although I know that his surname is also Cao, the relationship with Cao Cao is not shallow. But he still likes to do it if he has a good relationship or something. After all, no matter what, now they are allies with the Yanzhou army, even if in fact, they are hostile, but in front of the Liangzhou army, they are allies, which is not false at all. Of course, there may be times when you have to fight each other, but it's definitely not the time.

In this way, Cao Ren and Lu Su decided to let Cao Zhen continue to lead the troops, of course, Niu Jin took the Yanzhou sergeants, and he took the Jiangdong sergeants, which was the same as the last time he attacked Luo County.

After Cao Zhen heard his general's decision, he was still very happy in his heart. Even if he knew that this Huang Zhong was even more powerful than the previous Gan Ning, but because of such an opponent, he might be able to improve. As long as you lead the troops yourself, you can increase your experience, and your generals have agreed to let you lead the troops again, so why not do it yourself. And even the commander of the Jiangdong Army, Lu Su Lu Zijing, and Mr. Zijing agreed, what is this hypocrisy.

So Cao Zhen immediately agreed, after all, this is really a rare opportunity. This Huang Zhong is more powerful than Gan Ning, if he can't keep it, he just went on the last day, maybe he will go out tomorrow, then he and Niu Jin will be replaced the day after tomorrow, this is a matter of maybe. It's not that Cao Zhen doesn't have confidence in himself, but he can also see that this Huang Zhong is too powerful. The previous Gan Ning, together with Niu Jin, couldn't deal with others, but now that he is replaced by the veteran Huang Zhong, it is estimated that it will be even more complete-

Of course, he is not destroying his own prestige, but he is really realistic, Cao Zhen is not only aware of himself, he is self-aware, and similarly, he also knows the power of others, for this, he admits it, which is not bad.

One day passed in a blink of an eye, and halfway through the second day, Cao Ren ordered, Niu Jin and Cao Zhen took the Yanzhou army and the Jiangdong army to kill Linxiang. They all know that General Linxiang is a veteran, but although he is old, he is really powerful!

But his own commander and general let him attack, and this can only be the case when he is a small soldier. Even if there are a lot of casualties in the siege, there is no way, so it can only be like this.

Seeing that the enemy army was attacking the city again, Huang Zhong, who was at the head of the city, smiled. But today he also noticed that this is not only Niu Jin, but even that Cao Zhen is also here. Of course he knew Cao Zhen, and he knew all about the intelligence, so when he saw the two, he smiled slightly. At this time, Huang Zhongxin said, don't say that there are two people, but twenty, what is the old man afraid of? Although your two armies are not a rabble, they are not taken into account by the old man! ――

Compared with yesterday's desperate fight, this today is really attacking Linxiang with all its might. But for Huang Zhong, it's just a small matter. So under his command. It really didn't let Niu Jin and Cao Zhen make any achievements.

Cao Ren and Lu Su looked at their own soldiers who kept falling down, and they were indeed a little sad. Speaking of which, whether it's Cao Ren or not. It's still Lu Su, in fact, it can be regarded as the one who cherishes the soldiers more. Cao Ren doesn't need to say more. After so many years in the army, how he treated the soldiers, if he was not good to the soldiers and did not value them, it would be impossible for so many soldiers to serve him to the death.

Yes, these soldiers finally Cao Cao is not fake, but in the same way, there are people who can serve Cao Ren to the death.

As for Lu Su, don't look at him as a scribe. But he still cherishes his soldiers, after all, he knows very well in his heart, and this is counting on them. Originally, the Jiangdong Army's combat strength on land may be a little worse, so of course, it needs soldiers to serve their lives in order to truly defeat other enemy forces.

Compared to them, Huang Zhong looked at the soldiers under the city, and he smiled proudly. For him, the Yanzhou army and Jiangdong soldiers who came to attack the city now were indeed not enough to make him anxious. It's true that he doesn't look down on the enemy army, but he is here in Xiangcheng. It's not vegetarian either. After being accurate for so long, can't it resist the attack of these horses?

Of course, if it is a protracted war, Huang Zhong also admits that Linxiang may be lost in the end. But how long it will take, it's not certain. Maybe it's a month, or maybe it's two months. Or even more, it's hard to say.

But in the interim. The grain and grass of the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army can be used, and their people must be enough. Otherwise. It is absolutely impossible to break the Linxiang City that he guards. This is definitely not Huang Zhong's self-righteousness, but a fact. If it was really so light that Cao Ren and them broke the city, then it was really in vain for Ma Chao to personally appoint him as the Changsha guard. At least Ma Chao knows that with Huang Zhong here, as long as the difference in strength between the two sides is not so great, there is basically no problem in holding on for a long time-

It's getting closer, and it may not be long before it's up! At this time, Cao Zhenxin said, but what he thought in his heart was very good, and it did seem that it was too far to go up to the city, but he ignored a very important matter.

At the head of the city, Huang Zhong was holding a bow and arrows at this time, and he rushed directly to Cao Zhen with an arrow. To say that he really didn't use an arrow yesterday, after all, this Huang Zhong also knows that his archery method is a bit famous in Jingzhou. But looking at it, it seems that the other party doesn't know? So today, he does have such a mentality, if the other party really doesn't know, or ignores it, then wouldn't he have a chance?

Of course, in fact, if you think about it carefully, don't say that they don't know very well, or don't know, or even forget about it, even if they know and take precautions, then as long as Huang Zhong seizes the opportunity, then the one who was shot is basically either dead or injured, which is not surprising.

And today, Cao Zhen was unlucky, he didn't see Huang Zhong shoot himself with an arrow, but when he just made a move to dodge, he was also a step too late-

It was indeed dodging the vital part, after all, Huang Zhong's arrow came from his left chest, and Cao Zhen went directly to the right, and the arrow did not hit his left chest, but it hit his left arm. This vital part is dodged, but the arm is hit. It can be seen that Huang Zhong's archery is not only accurate, but also ruthless. Don't look at the missed shot in the left chest, that's because Cao Zhen dodged quickly, if it was slow, it would be conceivable.

But even so, he was injured and fell directly down the ladder. Cao Ren, who was watching the battle from behind, looked at it and hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "Quick, Mingjin, Mingjin!" ”

Cao Zhen is a very important person to him, so he really can't afford to lose. And Lu Su next to him also said at this time: "The general is right to make a decision, I vaguely heard that this Huang Zhong's archery skills are outstanding, and now his opinion is really worthy of his reputation!" ”

Not to mention, Lu Su had heard of it, but in fact, Cao Ren hadn't heard of it. But speaking of which, the two of them really didn't expect this, and they didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, they attacked the city for the first time yesterday, but they didn't see Huang Zhongqi and his people use arrows.

Cao Ren sighed when he heard this, and said bluntly: "At this time, I am responsible, and I really neglected it before!" ”

It is rare for Cao Ren to admit his mistakes in person, which is indeed not easy, at least not like Cao Cao, who knows that he is wrong, but he never admits it. Of course, as the lord, there are indeed few people who will admit that they are wrong.

When Lu Su heard this, he said okay, you Cao Zixiao still knows that admitting mistakes is indeed rare. But he also knew that such a thing was absolutely rare in Cao Ren's place, basically none. So it is indeed not easy for him to admit his mistakes. The key is still in front of yourself, which is even more rare.

When Cao Zhen was hit by an arrow, he remembered, it seems that he heard that Huang Zhongqi is very good at archery, and now he looks at it, and it is really so! But when I think about it at this time, to be honest, it's a bit late.

Ming Jin Sheng remembered that Cao Zhen hurriedly retreated with his men and horses, and so did Niu Jin, so he naturally saw Cao Zhen injured. And he got down the ladder and asked him how he was, Cao Zhen This is just a small injury, so of course he said that it was okay-

When Cao Zhen withdrew with his troops, he pulled out the arrow himself. For him, this little injury is indeed nothing, but his general will not let him lead troops anymore, he can only take care of his injuries, he said in his heart.

Indeed, this is what Cao Ren is thinking at this moment. His own men are all injured, so can he still be allowed to play? Speaking of which, there is no shortage of people on your side, but if someone is injured, then you really can't lead any more troops. (To be continued......)
