Yang Chou let his army charge, wanting to catch up at one time, however, Cao Xuan had already arranged thorny thorns for them on the road, as long as these soldiers dared to step down, they would definitely be pierced through the soles of their feet, so when Yang Chou's army was marching, they had to pay attention to the soles of their feet.

On the one hand, they have to observe where there are diamond thorns under their feet, and then avoid those places, on the other hand, they also have to pay attention to the arrows flying in the air, the range of the arrows of Cao Xing's army can be very far, even ordinary soldiers, the range of bows and arrows has reached a distance of two hundred steps.

Therefore, these soldiers of Yang Chou, when they want to march, can be said to be difficult to move an inch, and in the end, most of them will either be shot by arrows, or accidentally step on the diamond thorn on the ground, and then scream in pain.

Of course, there were not no ruthless people in Yang Chou's army, but I saw that the group of soldiers directly picked up the rhizome on the ground, and then rushed forward, and finally came to the bottom of the city.

However, Cao Xuan smiled when he saw this, he directly ordered his archers to calculate the distance, as long as it was an enemy within fifty steps, do not shoot, everyone was still puzzled by Cao Xing's order, since the enemy army was only fifty steps away from here, it could be said that it was close at hand. Why not shoot?

With the sound of horses' hooves rumbling, everyone finally understood, only to see that under the city, I don't know when a team of cavalry rushed out, and the knights above the team of cavalry were all wearing heavy armor and holding spears, and under the leadership of Hu Che'er, they frantically killed the Yang Chou army under the city.

Yang Chou's army can also be said to be miserable at this moment, finally dodging the ramps on the ground, and dodging the arrows in the sky, stumbling under the city, and as a result, they have to meet the attack of such crazy cavalry.

Most of the people who rushed to the city were mainly infantry, which was good, and in the face of the cavalry charge, almost half of the people were already dead in no turn.

Yang Chou watched Cao Xing's cavalry come out again, if he continued to blindly send the infantry forward, it would be tantamount to looking for death, so Yang Chou waved his hand and directly ordered his archers, and also followed the infantry in front of him to move slowly, the infantry is mainly used to deal with the arrows shot down from the top of the city, as well as the diamond thorns on the ground, and behind them are full of archers, following these infantry slowly forward, once they reach the range of range, they will shoot fiercely at those cavalry, after all, bows and arrows are such things for cavalry, It's still more deadly.

When Cao Xing saw Yang Chou using this tactic, he was not ambiguous, with a wave of his hand, a platoon of heavy infantry rushed out of the city, their task was only to line up in front, for Hu Che'er's cavalry to hold the arrows that came from the fire, and the arrows shot by Yang Chou's army hit the armor of these infantry, and finally they all fell to the ground without falling, because they had no way to shoot through the armor of these infantry, these infantry were all led by Zhou Cang, and the equipment on the nurses under the car was all heavy armor.

Zhou Cang defended in front, Hu Che'er with the cavalry in the back waiting for the opportunity, as long as he dared to approach this side, he would definitely be slaughtered by the cavalry, as for Cao Xing, he stood on the head of the city, ordering his archers to control the overall situation, as long as Yang Chou's army dared to get a little closer, it would be a random arrow.

When this battle was fought until dark, both sides were Ming Jin to collect troops, Cao Xian ordered people to clean up the battle damage on their side, and found that the casualties had reached three digits, and the casualties were mainly Zhou Cang's car tigers, after all, the car tigers were in front, as humanoid meat shields, they suffered too many arrows, so the casualties were the largest.

However, this also shows from the side that the defense of the car scare tiger warriors is extremely high, in the face of arrows in the sky, the casualties are only three digits in the end, but the casualties on the side of Yang Chou's army are a little shocking, just the corpses on the battlefield, there are more than 5,000 corpses, not counted, those who were dragged back, but can no longer fight.

Cao Xing's battle can be described as a complete victory. However, Cao Xuan did not relax his vigilance because of this, this is the first day, Yang Chou's army came from afar this time, and he will definitely not take it so easily.

Sure enough, as Cao Xuan expected, after Yang Chou suffered a defeat on the first day, he seemed to learn more elves on the second day, he did not order the soldiers to attack the city, but just surrounded the county without fighting.

At the same time, he began to send people to start preaching something around the county, constantly preaching something, what they preached was nothing more than that Cao Xing was a deceptive and deceitful person, heinous, and people and gods were angry, and now they were ordered by the assassin of the state to personally crusade against Cao Xing, but Cao Xing resisted desperately, which deepened Cao Xing's sin.

Even they have reported Cao Xing's various evil deeds to the Luoyang court, and the Luoyang court is said to be thunderous and angry, and they will personally send heavy troops to destroy Cao Xing.

In the end, they also named them, the purpose of their words is to tell the people in the city that Cao Xing has been targeted by the Luoyang court, and now he has become a prisoner of the imperial court, once the imperial army arrives here, not only will he personally kill Cao Xing, but also implicate the people in the city, so if the people in the city want to live, it is best to take the initiative to hand over Cao Xing's head.

When these words reached Cao Xing's ears, Cao Xuan couldn't help frowning, this was clearly incitement, since it was impossible to capture this county from the outside, then destroy it from the inside.

In Yang Chou's opinion, the ordinary people stationed in the city, where do they know about any national affairs, just flicker, prevaricate, they should be able to deceive them.

The person who can come up with this strategy still has some ability, Cao Xing is also quite interested, and even asked Che Wu to specifically investigate, who is in Yang Chou's army from this strategy, but the result of Che Wu's investigation is only two words, solid.

Hearing the word Zhenggu, Cao Xuan couldn't help but think that he seemed to have had a few contacts with this guy. Cao Xing's deepest memory is the eighty big boards, but the eighty big boards did not hit his Cao Xing's body, but hit Zheng Gu's body, it is estimated that even if this Zheng Gu's scar is good now, he has not forgotten the original pain.

As a marching Sima this time, he followed Yang Chou's army to go on the expedition, this suggestion was made by him to Yang Chou, and he also hated Cao Xing to the core, and he wanted to peel Cao Xing's skin and cramp, so he used this poisonous trick.

Che Wu even asked Cao Xuan if they wanted to find a way to deal with it now that Yang Chou was not hard or soft, but Cao Xuan did not answer immediately after hearing this, but chose to remain silent.

In just a few days, the words of Zhenggu spread to the ears of the people in the county town with the momentum of beacon fire.

It turned out that the people in the city were a little uneasy at the moment, after all, there was a war outside, so they could only hide at home and dare not go out. However, after listening to Yang Chou's words, the mood of these people finally fluctuated greatly.

When the spies stationed in the city revealed the news to Yang Chou's army, saying that hundreds of people in the city had gathered directly at the gate of the mansion where Cao Xing temporarily lived, Yang Chougu and the others heard this, and they all laughed, they didn't expect the people in this city to be so stupid, and they were fooled so quickly, but it's good to be stupid, this is just conducive to the implementation of their plan.

"Hehe, the marching Sima really has a hand, if you break through Cao Xing, the first credit should be recorded on your head!" Yang Chou said to Zheng Gu.

And Su Gu couldn't help but feel a little complacent, he couldn't help but have a trace of pleasure in his heart, if he wanted to hit the eighty boards on him, he finally had a chance to take revenge on Cao Xing, but he was still very modest on his face.

"Hehe, General Yang has praised it, and the last general is just a little trick, but I believe that in less than two days, there will be chaos in the city, and then General Yang will take the army again, take this county in one go, and kill Cao Xing!"

Yang also nodded, then laughed and raised his wine glass, inviting the officers in the tent to drink together.

After three days, Yang Chou counted the days and guessed that the city was almost in chaos at the moment, after all, the noise in the city began to become more and more intense, so in a certain morning, Yang Chou did not hesitate, and directly ordered his soldiers to launch a general attack with the momentum of thunder.

However, just after marching to a distance of three hundred paces from the city, suddenly an arrow broke through the air and pierced directly through the neck of a soldier, and then the arrow continued to pierce the second soldier and the third ......

The soldiers who charged forward were all surprised in their hearts, and at the same time, they were a little frightened, who was so superb in the bow and arrow skills that he could kill three people in a row at once.

But before these soldiers could react, their commander Yang Chou continued to order them to charge forward, and they had no choice but to rush forward, and the more they rushed forward, the more dense the arrows they shot over, which was exactly the same as the phenomenon on the first day of siege.

The soldiers who charged ahead, the pressure was huge at the moment, they couldn't figure it out, before this they had already received an order from their commander, saying that the army in the county town was in turmoil, and they only needed to take advantage of the opportunity to attack it, and they could take this county seat, why did they feel now that the fight was even harder than the first day?

And Cao Xuan stood at the head of the city, watching Yang Chou's army march more and more difficult, he not only picked up the bow and arrow himself, but even hoisted all the cavalry of Hushi and Hu Che'er under the car, and everyone shot wildly with bows and crossbows.

There was no cover of the infantry, no cavalry charge, only arrows from the sky to shoot wildly. This time, when Yang Chou's army marched to one hundred and fifty paces, the army's spirit was even more tense, and many soldiers did not want to rush forward, because the arrows in front of them became denser and denser, and the closer they got to the city, the more accurate the shooting accuracy of others, so it was a dead end to continue to rush forward.
