Chapter 361: Guards

Hearing the shouts of killing behind him, countless soldiers wearing Qin army costumes rushed over, led by the Tiefutu led by Hu Che'er, and the tiger warriors under Zhou Cang's car.

Although these black-clothed assassins are also extraordinary, when they meet the top soldiers of the same era, they are still about to collapse, and the leader of the black-clothed assassins seems to know that the situation is not good, so there are not many, anyway, seeing that Cao Xing's body is already blood-red, he can't care so much, and with a wave of his hand, he directly let his subordinates retreat quickly with him.

I saw those black-clad assassins trying to run. Fa Zheng, who commanded the war, was also anxious when he saw this, and directly pulled out a knife from the waist of the sergeant next to him, held the knife in both hands, and shouted directly, letting his soldiers rush faster, it is best to catch those black assassins, he wants to live.

But having said that, but Fa Zheng is just a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, although he knows military affairs, but he can be regarded as the type of Confucian general, if he wants to charge into battle, how is it possible, Fa Zheng saw that everyone almost rushed forward like the wind, and he rushed to Cao Xing's chasing horse with his own soldiers, at this moment Cao Xing had fallen to the ground, and his blood had stained the ground red.

Seeing this, Fa Zheng, who had always been calm, was a little flustered at this moment, and he hurriedly picked up Cao Xing's corpse and kept shaking Cao Xing's head.

"Big, king, wake up, wake up, don't scare me!"

Although Fa Zheng was also shaking vigorously, Cao Xuan did not react at all, until Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er arrived, Cao Xuan still did not open his eyes, seeing this, Fa Zheng gritted his teeth and slapped the ground fiercely, originally he did not support Cao Xing's action of using his body as bait this time.

But he didn't persuade Cao Xing, so Fa Zheng felt that this was his dereliction of duty, just when everyone was a little at a loss, suddenly Cao Xuan opened his mouth and coughed twice, which frightened everyone, but Zhou Cang Fa Zheng and the others who reacted were suddenly ecstatic, and Cao Xuan finally opened his eyes slowly.

The first moment Cao Xuan opened his eyes, he didn't look around, but untied the bulky armor on his body. Then let Fa Zheng and others help him drag it away, and after taking off the layers of armor, Cao Xing was basically bare-chested, and at this moment, everyone saw that Cao Xing was wearing a layer of armor in the innermost, and that layer of armor looked relatively thin, but it was all made of gold.

Cao Xuan took off this layer of gold silk soft armor on his body, took it in his hand and looked at it, at this moment the gold silk soft armor has been pierced with a few small holes, which is caused by sharp weapons, sharp weapons pierced this layer of armor, and integrated into Cao Xing's flesh and blood, but it is precisely because of the resistance of this layer of armor that Cao Xuan can come back to life.

Cao Xuan took a deep breath, when he killed Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, Cao Xuan quickly snatched Dong Zhuo's body from Lu Bu's hand and found this from him.

Cao Xuan has never dared to guarantee how powerful this golden silk soft guard armor is, he once went to Ma Jun, a skilled craftsman, to get an answer from him, but Ma Jun only told Cao Xuan a fact.

This layer of gold silk soft armor can be described as a rare item of this era, and the craftsmanship in it is mainly caused by the gold leaf of hemp.

If these things are rare, then I won't talk about it, but the key is that the refining process is very difficult, and it is said that those who know the craft and can use it skillfully will have to practice hard for three years to produce one, so Cao Xing is definitely picking up a treasure, Cao Xing had some doubts at first, but it was finally confirmed today.

Those assassins were also very ruthless, in order to assassinate Cao Xing, they had already undergone quite professional training, which could ensure that one hit hit the vital point, but this layer of golden silk soft armor was a good defense for Cao Xing, so that the blade could only go a little deeper, and could not hurt the internal organs, so Cao Xuan survived, but it was caused by the impact of those blades, and Cao Xing fainted for a while.

At this moment, Cao Xing's heart is a little lucky, this layer of gold silk soft armor saved his life, it can be described as the body armor of this era, if there is a chance after going back, he will have to make a few more.

Cao Xuan took a deep breath and asked the military doctor to come over and treat the wound briefly, Cao Xuan looked around and found that Fa Zheng and Zhou Cang and the others were still standing there, Cao Xuan glared at them, and then said.

"What are you doing there? I've been wounded and beaten, are you going to let me suffer in vain? ”

As soon as Cao Xing said this, Fa Zheng finally reacted, and he hurriedly beckoned, telling the people around him not to be stunned there, and to act quickly, just like this, Zhou Cang, Hu Che'er and the others acted immediately.

Numerous flag-bearers stood out from the army, each of whom pointed to a black flag, and they scattered and separated, essentially forming a line that filled the entire territory.

Later, when these flag-bearers raised the flags in their hands, the soldiers of each battalion stood behind these flag-bearers in an orderly manner, and they temporarily acted as the personnel under these flag-bearers.

And at this moment, a young man standing on the top of the mountain in the distance, is wearing his palms, there is a little sweat in his palms, although he is outwitted, but he can assassinate a prince and king at a time, what an exciting thing for him.

Although his subordinates had also come back to report that everything was going very smoothly before, he was always uneasy in his heart, and it was not until this moment that he saw the banner of the Qin army so orderly, and he sighed uneasy.

"Hehe, this Cao Xing doesn't have nine lives, so he can't kill him!" Speaking of this, Guo Jia squinted at the subordinates behind him, feeling the coldness in Guo Jia's eyes, his subordinates all shuddered involuntarily, don't look at their young age, but the means are very human.

"That's it, I didn't assassinate Cao Xuan this time, maybe I have some responsibility, I don't blame you for this, then I'm going to see how Cao Xuan is going to play!" Guo Jia's eyes, which were as deep as the stars of the sea, had a hint of a smile.

In the next few days, Guo Jia had been studying Cao Xing's tactics, originally he thought that he was already a person who was proficient in the art of war, but when he saw Cao Xing put on this kind of formation, he felt that he still had a lot to learn.

Cao Xing personally charged the grain before, this is a gamble, not only his Cao Xing's gamble, but also Guo Jia's gamble, Cao Xing used his example as bait, just to lure Guo Jia out, after all, assassinating Cao Xing is a big deal, Guo Jia must stand not far from here to confirm Cao Xing's life or death.

So when Cao Xing appeared on that flat land, Guo Jia was also standing on the top of this mountain.

Although the assassination was not successful, Guo Jia also had some unwillingness in his heart, since he couldn't kill Cao Xing, he had to block the pace of Cao Xing's attack no matter what, so that Cao Cao could be given enough time, and at Cao Cao's level, if he wanted to clean up Lu Bu, it was not a matter of minutes.

However, what Guo Jia didn't expect was that what he saw in the past few days was the Qin army, which had completely flattened a horizon, where the mountains were full of people, and they had a unified command, a unified pace, and a unified search for inch by inch of land.

In this way, even if Guo Jia really has wings and can fly, he will eventually be turned out by them, this kind of carpet search, Guo Jia is really the first time to meet it.

Guo Jia wanted to think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but Cao Xing also understood the truth of the speed of the soldiers, he just didn't give Guo Jia this time, and let his soldiers search frantically day and night, Guo Jia could only keep evading, and finally Guo Jia could only look at Cao Xing's direction and shook his head helplessly.

"Hehe, I really have some underestimation of this Cao Xing, and he actually came up with this way to fight me, and it is not in vain for his reputation as the king of Qin, it's just that, even if Cao Xing wins a small victory this time, but you don't Cao Xing too early, our struggle has just begun, as long as you can't rescue Xuzhou, then this fight will be considered as if I won!"

Thinking of this, Guo Jia once again showed a confident smile, and after a few more days, Jin Yiwei had fully detected that the ghost pawn had begun to retreat in an all-round way. They swaggered directly into the interior of Chaoge City, which means that in the territory of Chaoge, there is no longer the activity of the ghost pawn force at all.

Cao Xing did not hesitate immediately, and ordered the army to attack in a big way, and he was going to make Cao Cao uncomfortable today.

There is nowhere to shout and kill, it sounded under the song city, Chen Hu took off his armor, bare-chested, and charged forward with his Xuanhua axe, with the lead of the main general, the soldiers behind him were also confident, and rushed forward with Chen Hu without his life.

This war was fought very brutally and hard, countless Qin soldiers fell step by step from the slide of the siege, and countless Wei soldiers died under the arrows or trebuchets on the city tower.

But after ten days in a row, the banner of the Wei army was still planted on the Chaoge City. This means that Chaoge City has not been breached by Cao Xing until now.

Chen Hu and Wei Yan both came to the army scarred and took the initiative to ask for their guilt, for no other reason, at this time, they cost countless soldiers' lives, used countless siege equipment, and used all the trebuchets in the well, but they still couldn't take Zhaoge City, so their two commanders had an unshirkable responsibility.

Cao Xuan looked at the two of them, although his two generals were indeed responsible, but the reason why the battle situation would evolve like this was not caused by the two of them, and Fa Zheng next to him said to Cao Xing.

"Lord, our numbers are superior, and the siege equipment is also more advanced than the Wei army, according to reason, ten days is enough to capture Chaoge City, but it didn't do this, I carefully studied the reason, first of all, because of that Guo Jia who jumped out!"

"Although Guo Jia is a civil servant, but his reaction and insight are by no means comparable to our ordinary people, for example, in the face of these large-scale siege equipment, the Wei army defending the city does not have enough equipment to deal with it, at the beginning the Wei army was indeed beaten by us without fighting back, and countless huge stones were smashed on the city, but Guo Jia's thinking is different from ordinary people, but he uses these smashed stones as a natural cover, so that the soldiers can make reasonable use of the stones that are smashed up, not only did not cause them the slightest damage, On the contrary, it has become a natural barrier for them! ”

What Fa Zheng said is indeed very reasonable, how can ordinary people figure out the thinking of ghosts, he will not drill the tip of the horns, he will only make reasonable use of all resources according to local conditions, so he can guard the song so well, but it didn't take long for Jin Yiwei to send a person's name to Cao Xing's hands, Cao Xuan knew that this battle was indeed very troublesome.

Guo Jia's current status in Wei is just the commander of the ghost pawn, this official position is not big, it is not small, it mainly depends on what kind of attitude the monarch adopts towards this kind of intelligence force, as long as the monarch agrees, then the power will be great, if the monarch does not agree, then it is an ornament.

But now the person who is really defending in Zhaoge City is not Guo Jia, but a general named Cao Ren.

If Cao Ren's identity is to put it bluntly, he is Cao Cao's apprentice, but he is still in a high position in Cao Cao's place, but Cao Cao is not nepotism, like the two brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, including Cao Ren, Cao Zhen and others, all of them are his relatives of Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's relatives are all quite promising, at least worthy of their location.

Among them, this Cao Ren is the mainstay, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Ren's official position is Fancheng Taishou, where Fancheng is located in the area of Jingzhou, Cao Cao arranged Cao Ren in that position, there is only one purpose, that is, to defend, Guan Yu in Jingzhou.

According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao values Guan Yu's talent, and at the same time, he is more or less afraid of Guan Yu in his heart, as for why he is afraid of Guan Yu, there is no way to verify this, it may be that he was shocked by a certain temperament on Guan Yu's body, since Guan Yu did not take refuge in Cao Cao, then he is naturally Cao Cao's number one enemy, in order to prevent Guan Yu from carrying out a surprise attack on his Wei State, it is natural to send a general to guard there.

And the person selected by Cao Cao is Cao Ren, Cao Ren has a characteristic of fighting, rarely in the history books, see Cao Ren galloping on the battlefield and charging into battle, but his defensive skills are comparable to famous generals.

Guan Yu sent troops to Fancheng, which made the Wei people panic, but then again, Guan Yu's greatest achievement in the north was to flood the Seventh Army and capture Yu Ban alive, kill Pang De, and hit the foot of Fancheng, but that's all, he did not conquer Fancheng guarded by Cao Ren.

In a word, Cao Ren's defense is quite level, and ordinary people can't overcome it, Cao Xing didn't expect that Cao Cao would now regard him as the number one enemy, and asked his big man to defend him Cao Xing in the future.
