Leqi fell, though he was still breathing. [ ] But already in a semi-comatose state.

The soldiers of the Wei army were attacking frantically, and suddenly, the voice of Le Qi's command disappeared.

At first, everyone didn't care, but then, someone immediately appeared, and Le Qi fell.

"General Le, what's wrong with you?"

"General Le is injured!"

The sound reached the city tower, and Wei Jun looked back at the city, and indeed saw Le Qi lying on the ground.

"Ah, General Le is really injured."

With the fall of Le Qi, the Wei army lost the command of a front, and the attack became less sharp than before. Even the number of people climbing the city walls has dropped dramatically.

In the midst of the chaos, Wang Ping heard Cao Jun's shouts.

"Leqi is injured? Really? Seeing that the offensive of the Cao army had slowed down, Wang Ping secretly exclaimed: "Forget it, whether it's true or not, this is a great opportunity." ”

"Brothers, Cao Jun can't do it."

……

"What's going on? What's the mess up ahead? Cao Zhen's brows furrowed tightly, and then he pointed to a general beside him and said, "You." Go and see what's going on? It was fine just now, but now it's messed up. ”

"Yes!" The general rode his horse and rushed forward.

Before the general had gone far, a few people rushed over on the battlefield in the distance, and they were all soldiers under the command of Leqi.

"What's going on?" Cao Zhen asked.

"General, General Le Qi was seriously injured and unconscious."

"Quick, quickly, the generals and Chinese medicine officers are all called over and give General Le Qi a diagnosis and treatment." Cao Zhen immediately shouted.

"General, the last general will go to replace General Leqi in command......" Chen Tai immediately asked for battle.

"No need, Le Qi is injured, the opportunity has been lost, the morale has been lost, I'm afraid I won't be able to take Xingyang today, and it will be a waste of troops to continue fighting, Mingjin will withdraw his troops!" Cao Zhen said

"General, seeing that Xingyang is about to be captured, it's a pity to give up now, let's let the last general lead the troops to give it a try."

"No need, now Xingyang is already in danger, we have survived today, but we can't survive tomorrow, we have been fighting for so long, we don't care about this day. Anyway, sooner or later it's ours, so why be in such a hurry! Besides, rabbits bite when they're in a hurry......"

……

"Oops......" groans rang out, and another wounded soldier was carried down the tower.

On the towers of the city, stains of blood and broken blades. Everywhere, the Han army is cleaning up the battlefield, but it can be seen that the morale of the Han army at this time is not very high.

After all, today's battle has been extremely fierce, if it weren't for Ah Dou who injured Le Qi, maybe this Xingyang would have been captured. Although it survived today, if Cao Zhen attacked again tomorrow, this Xingyang would be difficult to protect.

Xingyang City, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it.

Wang Ping wiped the blood splashed on his face, tried to make his appearance neat, and walked to Adou.

Adou didn't look back, but he could hear from the footsteps that Wang Ping was coming.

"Wang Ping, how are the casualties?" While Adou spoke, his eyes were still fixed on Cao Jun under the city.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have been injured a lot, tomorrow. If Cao Zhen still attacks like today, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it. Wang Ping sighed.

"Go and weave it immediately, let the wounded soldiers retreat first, and the rest of the uninjured ones will be broken."

"Obey the order......" After Wang Ping finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and then said: "Your Majesty, some soldiers are seriously injured, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep up with the march, if Cao Zhen pursues, they will inevitably catch up......"

"Yes, that's right." During the daytime battle, Adou had personally experienced it, and the battle was very tragic, especially the stalemate on the city wall, which was like a meat grinder, and it was very difficult for some seriously injured to move, let alone retreat with the army.

"No way, let's take a gamble!" Adou sighed, and then said: "Wang Ping, you leave a few people here, and open the city gate early tomorrow morning, as soon as it is dawn." ”

"Huh? Open the gates? Your Majesty, what are you? ”

"If it is false, it will be implemented, but in reality, I decided to make a bet with Cao Zhen, it depends on whether Cao Zhen has the courage to bet with me!"

……

Early in the morning, the sky was just dawning, and at this time. Cao Zhen couldn't sleep anymore.

Cao Zhen walked out of the tent and glanced at Xingyang City in the distance, and a trace of emotion rose in his heart.

Today, this Xingyang City will definitely be captured. But Cao Zhen was not happy at all, this was exchanged for Cao Jun's life.

Inexplicably, Cao Zhen felt a little weird, the Han army's resistance was indeed very resolute, and it could be seen that the Han soldiers were indeed fighting bloodily, but so far they have not seen the reinforcements of the committee members coming, which is a bit too much.

Wei Yan is a general of the Han army, it is impossible not to understand the importance of Xingyang, and Cao Zhen has attacked for so many days, and he has not even seen a single Han army supporting, it seems that Wei Yan is ready to give up Xingyang at all.

Similarly, it took some time for him to go from the whole army to the expedition, and no matter how slow the reaction was on the Chang'an side, it was impossible that there would be no reaction until now, and it stands to reason that the reinforcements of the Han army should have arrived in Luoyang.

Although Cao Zhen claimed to have an army of 500,000, if he removed the 20,000 people left for Xu Shu, the rest would only be 180,000. Although there are a lot, they do not have an overwhelming advantage, and it is impossible for the Han army not to even dare to come out to fight.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be some kind of conspiracy? ”

"General, are you up?" Chen Tai's voice sounded from behind.

"Hey, I can't sleep, so I'll come out and have a look. By the way, how is Leqi's injury? ”

"Le Qi was seriously injured, but the military doctor diagnosed that the injury had stabilized, and his life was temporarily saved. Le Qi was lucky this time, and he almost hurt his heart, thanks to the treasure armor on Le Qi's body. only to protect a life, if it was ordinary armor, I am afraid that Le Qi's chest would have been penetrated a long time ago. Chen Tai said.

"Well, I know that set of armor was given to General Lejin by Taizu back then, when Taizu first settled in Yongzhou, he selected ten pairs of armor from the fine iron of the Western Regions to attack, two Xiahou generals, two Cao generals and five generals, each with a set. These ten pairs of armor were tried by Taizu back then, especially the position of the heart goggles, even the green cylinder sword could not pierce it. ”

Chen Tai nodded, the two Xiahou generals Cao Zhen mentioned were Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan, and the two Cao generals were Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

"Generals, two Xiahou generals and two Cao generals, plus five generals, there are only nine sets in total, what about the last one?" Chen Tai asked.

"The last set, huh...... The last set was rewarded by Taizu to Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang! At that time, Guan Yu was still in Xudu, Taizu was very fond of Guan Yu, a big banquet on three days, a small banquet on five days, gold and gems, beautiful girls, and countless rewards. Guan Yu is nine feet long and tall, I still remember that when the craftsman was building the armor, Taizu also specially instructed Guan Yu to build a large pair first. ”

"Oh, that's ......" Chen Tai didn't ask any more curiously.

"But I'm surprised that Leqi is actually injured. The heart goggles, but even the Qingwan Sword can't penetrate it. ”

"General, I've seen it, General Leqi's is just an ordinary blade."

"What? Ordinary blades? How is this possible? How could an ordinary blade break the heart shield on that armor! ”

"General, I have personally investigated, the knife that stabbed General Le Qi still penetrated the iron shield and pierced the heart guard."

"What? Broken a layer of iron shield! Cao Zhen felt even more incredible.

"Report to the ......" Colonel ran over: "Report to the general, the gate of Xingyang City is wide open!" ”

"The gates are wide open? What's going on? Take me to see it. ”

……

Xingyang City.

The city gate has been opened, and on the city tower, the banner of the Han army is still fluttering in the wind. Looking inside from the city gate, the streets were empty, and there was not half a person. The city of Xingyang was quiet, the breeze blew, and there was no sound except for the occasional horse chirping of Cao Jun.

"What's going on? Why is it so quiet? Cao Zhen stared at Xingyang City in front of him, looking a little overwhelmed.

"General, it must be that the Han army knows that it can't hold on, so they abandoned the city and fled, let's go into the city!"

"No!" Cao Zhen immediately spoke out to stop it.

"The gates are wide open? Hum! , that Wang Ping is a general, how can he easily open the city gate and give the city to me! In my opinion, there must be a conspiracy, and perhaps Wang Ping has set up an ambush in the city and waited for us to enter. Or like Zhuge Liang burned Xinye back then, it is also possible to burn Xingyang with a fire. ”

Cao Ren attacked Xinye that year, but was burned by Zhuge Liang, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, but at that time, Cao Cao's family had a solid foundation, and the loss of tens of thousands of horses did not matter. But today's Cao Zhen is different, this time Cao Zhen came with the foundation of the Wei country, and there is no room for mistakes, so Cao Zhen does not dare to take risks.

"General, what should we do then?"

"Chen Tai, you bring some people, first go around Xingyang, see if Wang Ping has ambushed the soldiers around, and you must be cautious, if the current Han army is ambushed, retreat immediately."

"The Last Will Do ......"

"Zhang Hu, you send some people to climb the city and find out what is real in the city. Tell the soldiers who climbed the city to be careful, and if there is an accident, they will retreat immediately. ”

"The last will obey."

……

Time passed minute by minute, Cao Zhen stood in the distance, nervously watching several Cao soldiers cautiously ascend the city tower. Leaving the open gate and not leaving, but trying to climb into the city, this seems strange and abnormal.

Finally, the first Cao Jun successfully climbed the tower, and he climbed the tower unharmed.

"How's it going, what's going on in the city?" Zhang Hu asked.

"General, the city is empty, and there is nothing unusual."

"Do you see clearly?"

"General, we have all seen clearly, there is indeed everyone in the city, why don't you let me go down and have a look."

"Well, that's fine." Zhang Hu nodded, then raised his head and shouted at the city: "You two people, investigate and investigate, be careful, if there is danger, withdraw immediately." ”

The two Cao soldiers carefully climbed down the tower from the inner side of the city wall, approached the city of Xingyang, cautiously probed into one of the houses, and slowly walked in. After a few moments, the two walked out again.

"There's no one in there."

"No one? Look elsewhere. ”

So the two Cao soldiers went back and forth in the city, passing room after room, and finally there was no one in each room, and there were no traps or things that started fire.

Although Xingyang City is not big, it is much smaller than a place like Luoyang, Chang'an, but it is still a waste of time for two people to go shopping, and they still need to be carefully investigated room by room, and in two hours, they were wandered by the two of them.

Outside the city.

Chen Tai rode his horse to Cao Zhen's approach.

"General, I've investigated it, and there are no Han troops around."

"Got it all figured out?"

"The investigation is clear, but there is not a single enemy."

"In this case, either Wang Ping is hiding in the city, or Wang Ping is really gone." Cao Zhen said with a frown.

"General......" In the distance, Zhang Hu also ran over: "General, I sent someone in to investigate most of the city, but there was no one and no traps." ”

"What? No one. Not good! I fell for Wang Ping's plan of reality and reality! Cao Zhen suddenly came to his senses.

"Wang Ping has run away, Chen Tai, you will immediately lead eight thousand light horsemen and go in pursuit." Cao Zhen said, and the raid thought of something.

Cao Zhen raised his head and looked at the sky, he had been waiting here for two hours, Xingyang was very close to Luoyang, and the gap of two hours, even if the Han army was very slow, could not catch up.

"Forget it, don't go, you can't catch up."

……

Cao Zhen walked on the streets of Xingyang City, watching the soldiers running around busily, but there was no sense of excitement in his heart.

was put on a table, and waited stupidly at the city gate for two hours, only to show up later, there was no half of the soldiers in the city, and anyone would feel aggrieved.

If he was put on a position by someone like Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong, Cao Zhenxin might feel better, but by Wang Pingyin, Cao Zhen felt that he had lost a lot of face.

But Cao Zhen can't blame others, this time it was clearly Cao Zhen who rushed over and was fooled, which made Cao Zhen feel even more aggrieved. Looking at the empty houses on both sides of the street, Cao Zhen felt even more ashamed. Cao Zhen urgently needs to get back this face.

"Come, herald, rest today, tomorrow in Luoyang, I must capture Wang Ping alive!"

Unconsciously, Cao Zhen has lost his former calm, which even Cao Zhen himself did not realize.

……

Luoyang.

Guan Suo came to Adou's approach.

"Your Majesty, Tanma has returned, Cao Zhen has entered Xingyang, but Le Qi is not dead."

"Le Qi is not dead, this ...... How is this possible! Adou is still very confident in his skills, his knife is definitely aimed at Le Qi's heart, and how can Le Qi not die?

"Could it be the reason for that armor?" Adou frowned, and now only this explanation is the most reasonable.

Suddenly, Adouxian, the armor that Guan Suo wore today was exactly the same as the armor of Le Qi that day, the style and material were exactly the same, but it was a little bigger than Le Qi's set.

"Guan Suo, where did you get this armor from?"
