Chapter 209: Breaking the Siege
It didn't seem to be an opponent on his side, so Cao Xuan had no choice but to look at the commander of this army.
Although this army is cavalry, it seems that it should be temporarily trained outside, and the general who leads this army looks a little obscene, Cao Xing can't call his name, but I heard the people next to him say that he seems to be called Duan Xuan.
Cao Xuan didn't care so much, he quietly took out the bow and arrow in his hand on the spot, and then shot an arrow at Duan Xuan, who knew that Duan Xuan heard the wind whistling, and reacted in time, only to see him dodge sideways, and the arrow finally shot on his left shoulder, and did not kill him.
Cao Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, he underestimated this Duan Xuan a little, Duan Xuan was able to react in time at the first time, indicating that other people's bow and arrow skills were not bad.
Seeing that Duan Xuan was injured, the surrounding soldiers were excited, and hurriedly surrounded Duan Xuan in the middle and protected him, while Duan Xuan touched his injured left shoulder, where there was a faint pain.
Now if you want to kill the other party's boss, it seems impossible, Cao Xuan looked at it, a bunch of people, Duan Wei was well protected, however, there were still tragic battles in other places, Cao Xuan saw this, the whole person was stunned, he couldn't help but look around the entire battlefield, and then said loudly.
"Cao Xing's head is here, I don't know if anyone of you can take it off."
Cao Xing's words really worked, and I saw that Duan Xuan's soldiers were stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Although they don't know Cao Xing himself, Cao Xing's name can be described as thunderous.
It is said that he not only provoked the Luoyang City family in Luoyang, but also offended Dong Zhuo to death, Dong Zhuo was furious at the beginning, and wanted to arrest Cao Xing, and Li Ru also issued a large reward, as long as Cao Xing can be caught, a reward of 1,000 taels of gold.
Gold 1,000 taels is not a small amount, especially for such a big-headed soldier in the feudal period, it is an astronomical amount.
During the Three Kingdoms period, although there was a military salary, most of it was food, and you could finish it with two meals.
As for money, unless your army wins the battle in front, where is there any money, so the soldiers of the Han Dynasty rarely have money to take, and they enlist in the army just to make ends meet.
Therefore, the temptation of this news for them is still extremely huge, Cao Xuan is in front of him, and he is still alone, if he takes his head, wouldn't it be a complete fortune, some soldiers did not hold back the impulse in their hearts, and no longer paid attention to Duan Xuan's order, and directly shouted, carrying a knife and rushing towards Cao Xuan.
There is a second person, there is a second person, there is a second person, and then many soldiers rushed towards Cao Xing like wolves.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xuan didn't say a word, turned his horse and left, seeing that Cao Xuan had plans to escape, these soldiers chased after him even more, so Cao Xuan rode a horse and took these soldiers in circles in the same place.
Duan Xuan gave orders in the back and asked these soldiers to come back quickly, but these soldiers turned a deaf ear, after all, Cao Xuan's head was too valuable, and he knew that Duan Xuan saw the situation in the back, and it seemed that something was wrong, so he stepped forward and grabbed the two soldiers who were frantically pursuing, and cut them to the ground, only then did these somewhat crazy soldiers come to their senses.
"Give me all back and line up, and I'm not allowed to attack without permission!" Duan Xuan ordered to his soldiers.
Although Duan Xuan had already discovered that something was wrong at the moment, Cao Xuan felt that it was enough. Infantry and cavalry, to a certain extent, can be said to be a dead end, if you want to escape, the only way is to find a way to take their horses, and Cao Xing's order to Shi A and others is this, now Shi A and other surviving people have already ridden fast horses, Cao Xuan beckoned, let these people go faster.
"Lord!" Shi Ah Kuaima rushed to say something?
However, Cao Xing shouted angrily: "Go!" ”
Cao Xuan pushed Shi A away, then discerned the direction, and left quickly in the other direction, and Shi A was a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene, and now it seems impossible to chase Cao Xuan back, and Duan Xuan's soldiers are already eyeing him there, so he can only wave in the end, take the rest of the soldiers, and quickly flee in another direction.
Cao He and Shi A were completely divided into two ways, pursuing in two different directions, and there were almost a hundred soldiers around him, each of whom was full of money.
But on the other side was Cao Xing, in comparison, Duan Xuan quickly made a decision in his heart, and waved his hand to order his remaining soldiers to pursue in the direction where Cao Xuan fled, this time they must take Cao Xuan down.
Cao Xuan rode a fast horse like this, galloping quickly in front, turning around and shooting an arrow from time to time, and chased for two hours, because everyone was running with all their might, and in this process, there were no follow-up soldiers and horses to follow.
On the empty plain, only Cao Xuan and Duan Xuan's people were left chasing, Duan Xuan was still enthusiastic at first, but when he got to the back, he gradually found out that something was wrong, and even had a trace of panic in his heart, because he found that the soldiers and horses around him began to become fewer and fewer. And he is getting farther and farther away from Luoyang.
And the people around him are also constantly falling behind, after all, with high-intensity continuous running, there are already many soldiers who are out of horsepower and are lagging behind.
Cao Xuan in front of him also turned around from time to time to shoot the arrows in his hand, and each arrow was actually aimed at it Duan Xuan, the reason why Duan Xuan was not dead now was that it was completely blocked by his own soldiers in front of him, helping him block one arrow after another, so he was able to survive and steal his life.
However, it was precisely because of Cao Xing's arrow-free archery skills that he was terrified, and even the motivation to chase became much smaller.
However, what made Duan Wei a little desperate was still to come, at this moment there were still three or four hundred people around him, but when he passed through a certain canyon, countless rocks suddenly fell on both sides, directly smashing on his unprepared soldiers, many soldiers screamed and fell off their horses one after another.
Then you can see countless heroes rushing out from both sides of the canyon, all of them holding sharp blades, and quickly launched a fight with these soldiers and horses, these soldiers and horses were completely caught off guard, without any preparation, as soon as they came, they were killed by these heroes who rushed out of the rivers and lakes, and fled in defeat.
Duan Xuan panicked, at this moment he felt that it was important to save his life, and wanted to turn the horse's head and quickly escape from here, but a bewitching figure suddenly appeared in front of him, only to see the sword light flash, Duan Xuan didn't even have time to let out a scream, and directly landed on the ground.
This army has been chasing for so long, and its morale has long been exhausted, and now the commander Duan Xuan died tragically under the horse, and the remaining soldiers have already collapsed in morale, throwing down their weapons one by one, turning into birds and beasts and scattering and fleeing.
And Cao Xing, who had been running for his life in front, also stopped the horse after hearing the movement in the rear, and when he saw these so-called heroes clearly, he knew that there might be hope for this one to survive, so he didn't hesitate, turned the horse's head directly, carried his broad-headed knife, and rushed into the person. group, a fierce battle unfolded.
Cao Xing's goal is naturally the commander of this army and horses, as long as Duan Xuan is killed, I believe that many things can be solved, so Cao Xuan saw it as soon as he came, Duan Xuan rushed in his direction quickly, but when Cao Xuan didn't get close to Duan Xuan, Duan Xuan had already been killed.
Cao Xuan turned over and dismounted, slowly approached, looked at the figure in the lake, and showed a smile after a while: "Haha, it turned out to be you, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how well I am doing!" ”
Looking at Cao Xing's smiling appearance, the chivalrous man wearing a fox mask seemed to have a fierce light in his eyes, only to see him scream, holding a long sword and stabbing at Cao Xing's eyebrows, and Cao Xuan raised his broad-headed knife, and the horizontal knife was a slash, easily blocking the assassin's attack.
Although this assassin's martial arts are not weak, and Cao Xing has reached the same level, but Cao Xuan has his advantage, that is, the weapon he holds in his hand is powerful and heavy, how can an ordinary sword break the defense, so Cao Xuan not only defended himself well, but even saw a flaw in the other party, Cao Xuan directly stretched out a hand, brushed it, and removed the other party's mask.
"Hehe, Miss Xiaoyun really hasn't seen you for a long time, you're looking prettier again!"
Xiao Yun was molested by Cao Xuan again, Xiao Yun covered her cheeks and stomped her feet in anger.
And at this moment, Ren Wei finally rode up on a fast horse, he first glanced at Xiao Yun, and then said to Xiao Yun: "It's not easy to stay here for a long time, you hurry up and leave with someone!" ”
"What about you, sister!" Xiao Yun asked with some concern.
Ren Wei shook his head and said, "I still have to go back to Situ Mansion, you guys go first, I will pay attention to my own safety!" ”
Since Ren Yun said so, Xiao Yun and the others had nothing to say, only to see Xiao Yun snap his fingers at the people around him, and between a few whistlings, this group of chivalrous people was hidden in the mountains again.
At this moment, the sky has gradually darkened, Cao Xing preliminarily judged the direction, this is in the southeast direction of Luoyang City, if he continues to walk forward, he will only stay away from Bingzhou, so Cao Xing had to take a horse, and then march to the north with Ren Wei.
"Miss Ren Wei is really grateful this time, I thought that this time I would definitely die, but I didn't expect that you would help you again, and I don't know how to thank you!"
"Forget it, Cao Xingshao is flamboyant there!" Ren replied expressionlessly.
Cao Xuan smiled, then looked at Ren Wei again and said, "Miss Ren, although I don't know what your current situation is, but if you do this, you are not afraid that Wang Yun will raise the butcher knife to you one day!" ”
It's okay not to say this, as soon as he said this, Ren Wei's eyes became solemn, and after a while, he looked at Cao Xing and finally said: "I told you before, it is precisely because of your appearance that I have changed my view of many things, originally I thought that everything I did was worthy of my heart, for the country and the people, but since you appeared, I began to look at some things that I couldn't figure out before, which is why I saved you again!" ”
After listening to these words, Cao Xing smiled helplessly, he didn't expect that what he said and did would imperceptibly make some changes in Ren Wei's thinking, but there is no record of Ren Wei in history.
Cao Xing also doesn't know what role this Ren Wei plays in real history. Will there be some butterfly effect because of his change in thinking?
Cao Xing and Ren Xun rode horses and slowly marched forward, because Cao Xing was also afraid that if they took the big road, they would meet the troops sent out by Dong Zhuo behind, so he and Ren Xun all picked small roads until it was dark, and finally reached the foot of Luoyang City.
At this moment, it was also the time of separation, Cao Xing, who was in the woods, looked at Luoyang City from afar, it was already pitch black, he couldn't help but look at Ren Xun, and found that Ren Wei was also looking at Luoyang City.
"The gates are closed, how are you supposed to get in?" Cao Xuan asked.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the city gate is closed, it's a big deal to stay here for one night, and enter the city the next day, but Cao Xing always feels that it seems a little inappropriate to let others leave a woman alone in this forest for a night.
However, Ren Wei didn't even look at Cao Xing, and replied directly, don't worry about Cao Xing. He has his own way.
Hearing this, Cao Xing also smiled helplessly, and he moved closer to Ren Xing: "Miss Ren Xing, I know what you have done, you have committed a lot of taboos, if Situ Wang Yun wants to attack you, you should run quickly, if you have nowhere to go by then, come to us and merge the state, Cao Xing's door will open for you at any time!" ”
Cao Xing's words were heard in Ren Xun's ears, Ren Wei felt very warm, he just wanted to reply, but he frowned, as if he finally felt that something was wrong.
"You bastard, I, I'm going to kill you!" Ren Xing's heart can be described as ashamed and angry now, he didn't expect that Cao Xuan would take advantage of him when he wasn't paying attention, and now he reacted, and immediately took out the long sword on his waist, and stabbed with the sword, but Cao Xuan jumped casually, and easily dodged it.
Cao Xing took a deep breath and smelled the lingering fragrance on his hands, he couldn't help it, who called Ren Wei is too tempting.
He smiled and fought with Ren Xing, haha, and then rode away quickly, and Ren Wei stood in place and watched Cao Xing go away, revenge was impossible, he could only be angry there, but after being angry for a moment, Ren Xun suddenly had a feeling in his heart, although Cao Xing was taking advantage of him just now, how could he feel a very comfortable feeling in his heart?
Cao Xing galloped on the road, and after almost a week, Cao Xing actually met Che Wu and others who had already led the troops out, Cao Xing and Che Wu joined forces, and then marched for almost a week, and finally returned to Bianyun County.
