The Wei army dispatched 20,000 men this time, double the number of yesterday and four times the day before.

It's easy to calculate the number of people, but trying to figure out the motives of the Wei army is a lot of brains.

"What the hell Wei Kou is for, shoot me hard, smash it hard!"

Guan Ying rolled up his sleeves, lifted a grinding stone, and smashed down the city wall, smashing the brains of a Wei pawn who was charging with a ladder.

Cao He and Jiang Cuiping each bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows flew like flying, and they played an archery competition.

Half an hour later, Cao Xuan shot sixty-five arrows and knocked down nine Wei pawns.

Jiang Cuiping's speed was a little slower, shooting fifty-one arrows and knocking down seven Wei pawns.

"Haha...... Miss Jiang, accept and concede! Cao Xing laughed and hugged the bow and saluted.

Jiang Cuiping was not convinced, gritted his teeth and shot another arrow, and a Wei pawn fell down in response, "This girl shot fifty-two arrows and killed eight Wei pawns, or am I more powerful!" ”

Cao Xing was not convinced, and raised his bow again to shoot, and suddenly a green horse under the city galloped over, galloping like flying.

Immediately carrying a military general who was about eight feet tall, with a short beard and a sharp eyes that could almost kill, he took off his bow and arrow with lightning speed and backhand, and ran towards the city wall is an arrow.

"Damn, he's going to shoot me!"

Cao Xuan was startled, and involuntarily burst into a foul mouth, and at the same time raised his bow and shot at the enemy general.

Cao Xing's bowstring was drawn like a full moon, and the feather arrow was aimed at the throat of the generals under the city......

It's just that before the feather arrow left the string, he heard a sharp wind whistling, and before Cao Xuan could react, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and then a swishing cool breeze poured into his body.

"I ...... By...... Shoot...... Wear...... Finish! ”

Cao Xing's eyes were wide open, a little incredulous, and his hands grabbed the feather arrow that pierced his neck.

Hasn't the Wei army been lazily attacking the city, where did this jump out of a sharpshooter?

"Played to death!"

Cao Xing's pupils were dilating sharply, and his body was a little regretful while being paralyzed, knowing that today's catastrophe was coming, he wouldn't be wasted!

I knew that I would die, and I didn't compare arrows with Jiang Cuiping when I was killed, and sure enough, the rafters that came out rotted first, and the generals who were reckless died first. It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world!

"Quickly summon the doctor to save General Cao!"

Jiang Cuiping next to him was taken aback, and while shouting for help, he bent his bow and shot angrily at the Wei general under the city, "Return General Cao's order!" ”

This Wei general snorted coldly, and put an arrow on the city wall lightly, which actually collided with Jiang Cuiping's feather arrow in mid-air, broke at the same time, and fell to the bottom of the city.

"What a great archery ......"

Before Jiang Cuiping's exclamation could be made, he heard a whistling wind coming to his face, and hurriedly subconsciously turned his head to dodge.

Hearing only the sound of "duh", a feather arrow hit her left shoulder, piercing through the armor and piercing into the blade, and the painful Jiang Cuiping let out a heart-rending scream.

This Wei army marksman used only two arrows to shoot down two guards on the city wall, one dead and one wounded, it was simply a hundred steps through Yang. The Tang Army archers on the shocked city wall stood on end, and they couldn't help but look for cover to protect the vital points.

But this Wei general didn't seem to be in love with war, snorted coldly, and pulled his horse back, "Hmph...... Carving insect skills, dare to show off in front of my flying guard? ”

Knowing that Cao Xing was hit by an arrow, Guan Ying and Cao Ren hurriedly came to check, but before the person arrived, Cao Xing had already kicked his legs and died of anger.

The hound will eventually be mourned on the mountain, and the general will inevitably die in front of the battle, and the baby's face is pale, and he ordered to pull out the feather arrow in Cao Xing's neck and use a good coffin to collect the burial.

"Cao Xing's archery skills are outstanding, and he is one of the few in my Tang Army, but I didn't expect to die under the arrow!"

Cao Ren squatted down and personally pulled out the feather arrow that pierced Cao Xing's throat, regretting that he didn't know that this guy, who was nicknamed the "Galaxy Shooter" by later generations, had once shot a friend of his friends in the eye, and had achieved the feat of "plucking his eyes".

Chen Deng also rushed to hear the news, shook his head and sighed: "This is the first general of our Tang Kingdom to die, what a pity!" ”

Jiang Cuiping covered the arrow wound on his shoulder, slowed down the flow of blood, gritted his teeth and said: "This enemy general's archery skills are many times stronger than me and General Cao, I haven't heard that Wei has such a powerful marksman?" ”

But the people on the city wall shouted and neighed, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and no one listened to Jiang Cuiping's words in a hurry. There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the world, who knows when there will be an additional marksman in the Wei army?

Cao Xing's body was carried off the city wall and buried in a coffin, and the battle on the city wall continued.

Today's attack of the Wei army was much more fierce than the previous two days, and the battle lasted until the evening, losing at least more than 1,200 people, and the Tang army was also killed by indiscriminate arrows, and Cao Xing's death made the Tang army feel deep sorrow.

Just when the defenders were feeling the pressure, it was getting dark, and the Wei army Mingjin withdrew his troops, leaving behind more than a thousand corpses and retreating to the camp.

Guan Ying found a vacant land in Wancheng, buried Cao Xing overnight, Chen Deng, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen and other generals came to see him off, and they all deeply felt the cruelty of the war.

At night, the Tang army did not dare to be careless, and still took turns to defend the city under the leadership of Guan Ying, Cao Ren, and Cao Zhen, while ensuring the defense of the city wall, it was necessary to get enough rest to ensure that there was enough spirit during the daytime battle.

After dawn, the Tang army was in good spirits and ready to meet the more fierce attack of the Wei army.

But unexpectedly, the Wei army was actually pulling out the camp, and it seemed that they were preparing to retreat.

The generals were overjoyed, and Guan Ying speculated: "It is estimated that the lord won a big victory over Pang Juan in Pinglu, and this Wei army did not play a role in disturbing the morale of the army, so it retreated." ”

"Deng thinks it is more likely that the Wei army learned that the Chu army was approaching Wancheng, so they retreated in advance." Chen Deng raised his eyes and made a more reasonable analysis, "It's 100,000 Chu troops who are coming, and if the Wei army doesn't leave, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out." ”

Jiang Cuiping came to the city wall with an injury and asked for a pursuit: "General Cao Xuan died because of an arrow competition with me, and the little woman asked to go out of the city to pursue and avenge General Cao Xing!" ”

Guan Ying shook his head and refused: "The general will inevitably die before the battle, and Miss Jiang Hugh will take the responsibility on her own head." The Wei army is far superior to our army, and it is too risky to go out of the city to pursue it, and if there is fraud, it will be defeated. Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, or let the Wei army leave! ”

An hour and a half later, the dust rose in the south, the sound of horses' hooves and the wheels of the cars was like a tsunami from the mountains, and the flags of the Chu army rolled in.

Chen Deng and Guan Ying looked far away from the city wall, and they could see that the Wei army's forward troops, about 2,000 chariots, the size of 30,000 troops, and the fluttering banner had the word "Yang" written on it.

A moment later, the Chu army approached the city.

A general with a long body, a thin waist and long arms, a majestic face, a strong bow on his back, and a quiver hanging from his waist, rode out of the ranks and shouted to the city wall: "Hey...... The soldiers in the city listened well, a certain is the vanguard general of the Chu State, Yang Youji, and General Tang Yu came to support your Tang State on the order of our lord. Knowing that there were 30,000 Wei troops attacking Wancheng, General Tang specially ordered a certain to rush to help, could it be that the Wei army had retreated? ”

Guan Ying ordered the city gate to be opened, and went out of the city with Chen Deng and Cao Ren to pay respects, and planned to reward the Chu army.

Yang Youji politely declined: "These 30,000 Wei troops have penetrated deep into the territory of your Tang Kingdom, and they should be wiped out in one fell swoop, how can they sit back and watch them flee?" There is no need to be rewarded, just wait for hundreds of thousands of grains and grass to supply our army. General Tang ordered me to pursue with all my might, and you could send troops to help in the battle. ”

The Chu army that came from afar was so desperate, and Guan Ying and Cao Ren were embarrassed to refuse, and after some discussion, Cao Ren led 7,000 soldiers to follow the steps of the Chu army and chased the retreating Wei army to the north.

Before leaving, Guan Ying repeatedly told Cao Ren: "I always feel that this Wei army is a bit evil, Cao Zixiao should be more careful along the way, don't chase too closely." Since the Chu army is bent on destroying the enemy, let the Chu army charge ahead! ”

Cao Ren promised: "General Guan rest assured, Ren will act at the opportunity!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, the wheels were rolling, and two thousand chariots pursued the retreating Wei army north with all their might under the escort of 30,000 Wei troops and 7,000 Tang troops, and they chased for fifty miles, and finally caught up with the trail of the Wei army.

The Tang army dispatched all foot soldiers, and the speed was far less than that of the Chu army's chariots, so Yang Youji did not plan to expect the Tang army to make much effort, but only ordered Cao Ren to protect on the flank.

Half an hour later, the vanguard of the Chu army caught up with the tail of the Wei army, and a fierce battle broke out between the two armies in the wilderness.

"A certain is the adoptive uncle of the Chu State, and Wei was killed by the arrow!"

Yang Youji stood on the chariot at the front, holding an iron-tired strong bow and firing nine arrows in succession.

When the bowstring sounded, a Wei pawn must have fallen, and it was a good occurrence.

Under the encouragement of Yang Youji, the morale of the Chu army was like a rainbow, and the chariots that charged side by side fired arrows in unison, and hundreds of Rong You bent their bows and arrows to launch a back shot at the fleeing Wei army.

The military general called Feiwei in the Wei army showed anger and excitement, took off the iron-tired strong bow on his back with his backhand, and prepared to rein in the horse and compete with Yang Youji: "Tut...... At last I met a decent opponent, let me shoot him off the chariot! ”

The main general who led the team was a burly, tiger-backed bear-waisted, about thirty years old, sharp-eyed, and bearded.

"Don't be reckless, we are waiting for General Bai to come to lure the enemy, don't lose a big thing because of your will. I have done a very good job at the foot of Wancheng this time, seeing that the Chu army has gradually taken the bait, don't affect the overall situation! ”

Feiwei resisted the impulse and took the bow and arrow: "Okay, I will temporarily send my adoptive uncle's life, and after the general Chu army is like the territory of Yique, a certain vow will shoot through his throat!" ”

The Wei army seemed to have no intention of fighting, and was killed by Yang Youji's chariot soldiers, killing more than 1,000 people.

Moreover, the chariot of the Chu army was extremely fast, and it took half a day to overtake the Wei army and cut off the retreat of the Wei army to the north.

The sky was completely dark, Yang Youji led his troops to pursue overnight, and sent people to report to the commander Tang Yu: "Great victory, 30,000 Wei troops have been blocked and are fleeing in the direction of Luoyang, please keep up with the main force and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" ”
