Chapter 7: The Fall of Nanyang

Huang Zhong's eyes had never left Cao Jun, and Cao Jun, who had stopped attacking, began to join the battle again with fear under the man's cheers.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Cao army had begun to relax, but they were interrupted by this person, how could Huang Zhong tolerate such a person? Pick up the bow and arrow straddling the side of the war horse, take the arrow, and aim. After a muffled sound.

After the scream of "Ah......, the last general with an authoritative surname in Nanyang City also fell under Huang Zhong's arrow. At this time, Huang Zhong shouted again that those who were willing to surrender could avoid death, but the effect was completely different from what appeared just now.

Most of the Cao soldiers who came first were soldiers who participated in the siege of Huang Xu that night, and the army was already disheartened, and there was no commander at this time, under Huang Zhong's shout, then a soldier put down the weapon in his hand and set an example, and the rest of the soldiers also learned from the example. He put down his weapon and surrendered.

And the Cao army, which was fighting with Lü Meng at the city gate, also gave up resistance, and in their opinion, the commander was gone, and now even the Yuan army that was close at hand had surrendered. There is no point in resisting any longer.

Nanyang City was broken.

At this time, in the grove outside Nanyang City, Huang Xu and Murong Ping were still fighting. It's just that unlike at the beginning, the two of them have jumped off their horses, and they don't know where to fight with the weapons in their hands.

Huang Xu's eagle guards were also killed and injured, if it weren't for Huang Xu's appreciation of Murong Ping, if he wanted to have a duel with him, I am afraid that the eagle guards around him would have taken Murong Ping down long ago.

Murong Ping also looked up to Huang Xu a little bit in his heart when Huang Xu ordered Eagle Wei not to interfere in the duel between the two. At this time, although the two of them couldn't see any injuries, they both suffered extremely serious internal injuries.

Huang Xu was a little better, when he was fighting with Murong Ping with his bare hands, he broke a rib, and looking at Murong Ping's posture, he knew that the evil stood on the ground, and he had to use one hand to support it to stand firmly. is obviously much more serious than Huang Xu's injury.

Perhaps feeling that the burden was too heavy, Huang Xu took off his helmet and battle armor, and dragged his heavy steps towards Murong Ping, who still maintained that posture and couldn't move.

When he walked to Murong Ping's side, Huang Xu shouted, crossed his fingers, hugged them into two fists, and raised them above his head, ready to smash at Murong Ping. And Murong Ping, who was half-kneeling, knew that he might not be able to bear it. still didn't admit defeat, it seemed that he still wanted to stand up, his whole body trembled slightly, and he struggled to stand up. Huang Xu was quite sober at this time. Seeing such a tenacious and unyielding man, I really admired it in my heart. He clearly knew that if he punched down, he was determined to kill Murong Ping.

Murong Ping struggled to stand up, and at the same time, his heart was ready to withstand this final blow. However, the injuries were not light. In the process of standing up, there is no strength in the feet. Just when the waist pole was about to straighten, he couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.

And Huang Xu's fatal blow has not been hammered down for a long time. Cao Jun, who had less than 4,000 people left, also stopped attacking after seeing Murong Ping fall to the ground, and Qi set his eyes on this side.

Huang Xuqiang endured the pain and ordered the army to bring the remaining Cao army back, and ordered someone to carry Murong Ping back on a stretcher.

By the time Huang Xu led his troops and prisoners back to Nanyang, Huang Zhong had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

Nanyang City avoided a bloody battle, if Huang Zhong's troops attacked it, they might be able to capture it, but the loss after getting Nanyang City was immeasurable, not to mention Nanyang City's own defense, it would be difficult to deal with an opponent like Murong Ping alone.

Ten days later, Huang Xu's injuries were almost healed, but Murong Ping, who was more heavily affected by him, was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and during his recuperation, Huang Xu went to visit Murong Ping many times, and ordered the military doctor to save Murong Ping no matter what.

People's hearts are long, Huang Xu's concern also made Murong Ping's heart softened a lot, and his heart to Cao Ping was not firm, Cao Ying did not send reinforcements, but abandoned his troops to Nanyang, and his heart began to be disgusted with Cao Ying. If he didn't die in this battle, Murong Ping would not have taken refuge in Cao Ying. At present, Huang Xu has not revealed that he wants Murong Ping to join the Jiangdong Army's camp. This surprised Murong Ping.

Five days later, Huang Xu had completely recovered from his injuries, and learned from his conversation with Murong Ping that Murong Ping would no longer serve Cao Ying. This made Huang Xu feel at ease. He was really reluctant to kill such a talent, since he no longer served Cao Jun, he could be regarded as a friend, and persuaded him to stay in Nanyang to recuperate from his injuries. Leaving Lü Meng to lead the troops to defend the city, and let Lü Meng not embarrass Murong Ping, if he wants to leave, he can't stop him. If he is willing to stay, it is even more undesirable. After explaining all other affairs, he followed Huang Zhong to continue westward, and the battle for Jingzhou had begun. Huang Zhong's troops marched all the way to the southwest. The next target is one of the important places in Jingzhou - Xiangyang!

At the same time, Zhou Yufang also received good news, he had broken through Hangu Pass, and the guard Xiahou Pavilion died in the chaos of arrows. Zhang Lang, who traveled to Wuxi, was overjoyed when he heard the news, but at the same time he was worried about another problem.

Now that the situation is clear, his Zhang Lang's troops are clearly heading towards Liu Bei, but at this time, there is no news of Liu Beifang's major troop movements. I only heard that Guan Yu led his troops to be stationed in Xiangyang City. And nothing else.

After thinking hard and bored, Zhang Lang actually thought that he should strengthen his intelligence department, and after discussing with Guo Jia to implement it, he immediately stepped up and sent a message to Zhang Ning as the general of the Shenji Battalion, responsible for collecting intelligence from all parties.

At this time, Guo Jia was very nervous, Zhao Yun had already arrived in Jiaozhou, and he had already sparked some sparks with Meng Shu. This has played a huge obstacle to the discord between Meng Shu and Meng Hou.

Besides, Zhou Yu was leading the army up the Yellow River at this time, approaching Chang'an, while Ling Tong was responsible for leading heavy troops to garrison Tongguan and did not participate in the journey to Chang'an.

It was already dark, inside the city of Chang'an.

The overlapping guards seem to be very nervous about the current form. The war is coming, but Chang'an at this time is terrifyingly quiet. Maybe that's the calm before the storm.

"Does the military advisor mean that we will give up Guanzhong now and lead the troops back to defend Hebei?" Cao Ying's words revealed a gloomy aura, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

This topic has been discussed with Cao Ying several times, although it ended with Cao Yingrong discussing it later, but Jia Xu knew that Cao Ying would definitely be able to listen to his own opinions this time, because it was Cao Ying who took the initiative to summon him to come to the discussion, Cao Ying Xiaoxiong is true, but the current situation is not the word Xiaoxiong can resist, and Cao Ying is worthy of this name, for the current situation, when it is absolutely necessary, he still knows how to make some necessary trade-offs.
