When Liu Qi heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "My father sent you to protect me, but you couldn't even catch an assassin, is this like a word?" ”

Zhao Hu said ashamedly: "It's the incompetence of his subordinates." ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go back quickly." ”

After Liu Qi returned to the room, he secretly said in his heart: "We can't delay any longer, we must do it as soon as possible." ”

Liu Qi knew that he was by no means the opponent of the masked woman, and if he was targeted again in the future, it would be a big trouble.

"Hmph, these thieves are so hateful, they actually planted nails in my mansion, they really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall." Liu Qi scolded angrily.

Although Liu Qi is the son of a gentleman, he is a child of a family after all, and his family is huge.

If his father found out, it would be a huge blow to his reputation.

"No, you must not tell anyone about this." Liu Qi secretly decided.

"Yes, you must hide this matter and not let outsiders know." Liu Qi figured it out and hurriedly instructed Zhao Hu: "Old Zhao, don't tell anyone about this matter, especially my father." ”

"Childe, please rest assured, my subordinates will not leak half a point, not only that, but I will also strengthen my vigilance to ensure Childe's safety." Zhao Hu said respectfully.

"Okay, you can do it right away." Liu Qi said.

"Yes!"

After Zhao Hu left, Liu Qi lay on the bed thinking about his next plan.

After all, if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, and now that there is an undercurrent surging in Xiangyang City, he needs to consider his own safety.

can't be involved in future actions because of himself, this is the last thing Liu Qi wants to see.

Liu Qi took out a piece of jade pendant, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then put it in his arms.

He doesn't know where his opponent will make a move now, but it's always good to have a defense, which is why he can't reveal half a point.

But he didn't know that Cao Ang outside the city had already begun to prepare for a new offensive.

Cao Ang was determined to start attacking Xiangyang City immediately, and he wanted to give Liu Biao in the city a little shock.

"General Xiahou Yuan, this time you will be the vanguard!" Cao Ang ordered.

"It's Childe!" Xiahou Yuan said yes and turned to leave.

Then Cao Ang said to the rest of the people, "You come with the general." ”

The two generals followed.

"In this battle, I will lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xiangyang, and the two of you are ready, right?" Cao Ang asked.

"The subordinates are ready!" The two generals replied.

"Very well, after the siege begins, the two of you can meet on the left and right sides." Cao Ang commanded.

"Yes!" The two of them agreed with their fists clasped together.

"Let's go!" Cao Ang gave the order.

。

Cao Ang rushed in the direction of Xiangyang with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

At the same time, Liu Biao in Xiangyang also received the news.

"Report to the lord, the enemy army has mobilized 30,000 troops to attack the city!" Liu Biao's strategists and strategists said.

Liu Biao's face changed after hearing this, and he hurriedly asked, "How many troops are there?" ”

"There are at least 30,000 soldiers and horses!" The counsellor replied.

"Siege so soon? Liu Biao said to himself, his expression was very solemn.

"My lord, what should I do now? The enemy army is large, and if you fight hard, you will definitely suffer. The advisor explained.

Liu Biao shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, it's just that the autumn harvest is coming, and now there is no stock in the Xiangyang granary, how can I resist the enemy." ”

"Lord, you might as well wait a few more days, and after the autumn harvest, we will fight the enemy again, and we will definitely win at that time!" The advisor suggested.

Liu Biao thought about it and felt that what the strategist said was extremely true, so he nodded and said, "Well, that's all, send the order to strengthen the fortifications." ”

"Yes! Lord! The counsellor retreated.

But it was obvious that Cao Ang also knew this, so he naturally would not let Liu Biao's plan succeed.

Outside the south gate of Xiangyang, Cao Ang had already arrived, looking at the defenders waiting on the city wall, and secretly said in his heart: "It seems that Liu Biao still has two brushes, and they have been arranged in such a short time." ”

However, Cao Ang was not afraid, he was confident that he would defeat these Jingzhou troops.

"Pass the order, the whole army will attack, and you must take Xiangyang City!" Cao Ang ordered.

"Whoa!" All the soldiers responded.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ang's 30,000 soldiers and horses began to charge.

Upstairs in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao snorted coldly when he saw this, seeing that Cao Ang was in such a posture, his strategy of passive defense was naturally difficult to work, so he immediately ordered.

"Since you want to find death, then I will fulfill you today!"

After speaking, Liu Biao shouted loudly.

"Shoot the arrows!"

As the words fell, countless arrows flew out.

"Dodge!" Cao Ang hurriedly stopped.

Suddenly, the 30,000 soldiers showed their powers, either shielding the attacks of the feathered arrows with their shields, or blocking them with weapons.

Cao Ang, on the other hand, rode to the front, raised his long sword, and shouted, "Kill!" ”

In an instant, 30,000 soldiers rushed to Xiangyang City like fierce tigers, moving forward.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the advantages of Cao's army were fully revealed, and the defenders of Xiangyang were instantly suppressed and retreated.

In Xiangyang City, Liu Biao saw this situation and roared angrily: "Resist it for me!" ”

But the defenders of Xiangyang couldn't stop the Cao army at all, and the Cao army was still surging like a flood.

Seeing this, Liu Biao frowned deeply, he knew that if it continued like this, Xiangyang City would not be able to be kept sooner or later.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows to me!" Liu Biao roared angrily.

The defenders of Xiangyang also understood this, so they shot arrows at Cao Ang's ranks.

Seeing this, Cao Ang's soldiers hurriedly dodged, and for a while, the speed of the original charge was reduced a lot.

Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately drew his sword and commanded his soldiers.

When Cao Ang saw this scene, he was puzzled, and he didn't know why Liu Biao suddenly changed his strategy.

However, Cao Ang didn't think much about it, and he continued to command the troops to attack the city.

"Kill!"

Cao Jun's shouts resounded throughout the forest, and they were getting closer and closer, as if they were about to tear down the entire tree.

Suddenly, "Whoosh! Sou! With a few sounds, countless sharp arrows shot from Xiangyang City.

"Poof!"

Several Cao soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the momentum of Cao's charge was blocked, and it was difficult to get close to the city for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Ang was furious, and immediately scolded: "Despicable and shameless villain! Dare to sneak attack! ”

"Hahaha, come on, I'm going to make you pay a terrible price today." Liu Biao laughed wildly.

But Cao Ang didn't care, he shouted: "All obey the order and continue to charge!" ”

"Kill!"

Cao Jun charged frantically again.

Seeing this, Liu Biao's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Keep releasing arrows!" ”

The archers under Liu Biao released their arrows again, and the dense rain of arrows once again enveloped Cao's army.

But this time, Cao Jun was obviously prepared and hid one after another, and the arrows couldn't hurt many people at all. (End of chapter)
