Chapter 688: Send an order to the generals and ask them to hold Cao Ang as long as possible and wait for rescue
"Hahaha, waste is waste."
Xiahou Yuan laughed when he saw this, he rode a horse to Zhang Xiu, and mocked: "I originally thought that Liu Biao's command was all elite, but it seems that it is not Erer. β
Xiahou Yuan really didn't expect that the generals under Liu Biao's command would be such weak chickens, which was completely inconsistent with the generals in his impression.
Zhang Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then clenched the spear in his hand again, and sneered: "Hehe, if you want to kill me, I'm afraid you can't do it!" β
"Look for death!" Xiahou Yuan was furious.
Xiahou Yuan brandished the iron spear in his hand and stabbed Zhang Xiu directly, wanting to end Zhang Xiu's life.
However, at the moment when he was about to stab Zhang Xiu, he suddenly felt dizzy in his head, and the movements in his hands slowed down a lot, and he was about to be pierced.
This made Xiahou Yuan's face change slightly, and he scolded secretly: "Damn, what's the matter?" β
He tried to concentrate, but the more he concentrated, the more sleepy he felt.
Xiahou Yuan knew that he was poisoned, and the toxin was eroding his brain.
He quickly pulled out the saber at his waist, and then cut his own arm, trying to stimulate the nerves with pain.
But the effect was not ideal, and Xiahou Yuan still felt confused.
At this time, Zhang Xiu's spear also attacked, and Xiahou Yuan had to give up the idea of detoxification first and wave the spear to face the battle.
Xiahou Yuan's strength was much stronger than Zhang Xiu's, so the other party was suppressed in an instant, and he was completely at a disadvantage.
Zhang Xiu's heart was bitter, he didn't expect that he would fall in such a place.
"Bell, bell!"
Xiahou Yuan waved his spear and continued to attack, forcing Zhang Xiu to retreat, and several wounds gradually added to his body.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan showed a trace of hideousness in his eyes, he saw Zhang Xiu's weakness, and took advantage of Zhang Xiu's negligence to stab Zhang Xiu in the abdomen.
"Poof!"
Zhang Xiu was immediately stabbed through, flew out upside down and fell to the ground.
"Ahem." Zhang Xiu looked up at Xiahou Yuan with difficulty, with hatred in his eyes.
Xiahou Yuan laughed: "Zhang Xiu, I have long heard that you are a man, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that." β
"In that case, let's die."
After that, Xiahou Yuan urged the war horse to rush towards Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu struggled to pick up the spear in his hand to resist, but unfortunately he had no strength anymore, and it was very difficult to even lift his arm.
Zhang Xiu closed her eyes and waited for death.
"Whew!"
Just as Xiahou Yuan was about to approach Zhang Xiu, a feather arrow shot out and flew past Xiahou Yuan's horse.
"What people!" Xiahou Yuan stopped and roared.
I saw a general riding a horse from the woods, holding a bow and arrow and pointing at Xiahou Yuan: "Xiahou Yuan, you are so bold!" Dare to kill my lord's father-in-law! β
"Who are you!" Xiahou Yuan asked vigilantly.
"I'm Wei Yan! I'm here to meet you! Wei Yan said indifferently.
"It's you!" Xiahou Yuan's face changed suddenly, he knew Wei Yan, who had led his soldiers and horses to attack Nanyang County.
Wei Yan sneered: "Xiahou Yuan, if you meet me today, you will be upside!" β
"Hmph, don't be arrogant! I'll admit you're great, but I'm not qualified to stay. Xiahou Yuan sneered.
"What's more, we have 3,000 soldiers, and you only have a few hundred, even if you are good at archery? In the end, it will not become a turtle in an urn! β
Wei Yan glanced at the surrounding enemy troops lightly, and said lightly: "Xiahou Yuan, you are really too naΓ―ve!" β
Xiahou Yuan frowned, he always felt that Wei Yan had something to say, and it didn't seem to be simple.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Wei Yan ordered an attack.
"Kill!"
The hundreds of soldiers behind Wei Yan raised their weapons one after another and slaughtered towards Xiahou Yuan.
"Not good!" Xiahou Yuan's face changed greatly, he didn't expect Wei Yan to be so decisive, he didn't care about Zhang Xiu at all, and directly led the army to attack.
Without thinking about it, he turned his horse's head and ran desperately towards his barracks.
"Hugh away!" Wei Yan shouted angrily and led the soldiers to chase after him.
Previously, Wei Yan was ordered by Liu Biao to ambush outside the city, in order to prevent Cao's army from suddenly attacking Xiangyang.
As soon as Xiahou Yuan left, he was ambushed by Wei Yan, if it wasn't for Xiahou Yuan's quick reaction, he was afraid that he would have died at the hands of the other party.
Xiahou Yuan fled back to the army in embarrassment, Cao Ang didn't seem surprised by this result, and said lightly: "What's the situation?" β
"General, Liu Biao sent a general to lead five hundred elite soldiers to block our reinforcements, causing us to be unable to attack the city smoothly." Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice.
Cao Ang nodded, and then said, "Since that's the case, then give me a full-scale attack on Xiangyang!" β
"No!"
Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Cao Ang stared at Xiangyang City with solemn eyes, and muttered, "It is worthy of Liu Biao, who actually sensed our intentions in advance.
Sending reinforcements to block us in the future is really a good calculation, but I, Cao Ang, am not an idiot, so I will not be easily fooled. β
The corners of Cao Ang's mouth outlined a strange arc, and he sneered: "Pass the order, attack Xiangyang on all fronts, and be sure to take Xiangyang tonight." β
"Whoa!" The adjutant immediately went down to give the order.
After Cao Ang's order was issued, Cao's army immediately launched an attack, and Xiahou Yuan personally led the infantry to attack the city.
The walls of Xiangyang were strong, and Xiahou Yuan also understood them, so he had been carrying out feints according to the usual practice, and at the same time sent scouts to explore the city walls and look for flaws.
Cao Ang took a deep breath, he was ready to go into battle himself, because only he could ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Kill!"
Cao Jun shouted to kill the heavens, and groups of soldiers launched an attack on the city wall.
On the wall of Xiangyang, Liu Qi anxiously looked at the enemy army in the distance, he wanted to help his father defend Xiangyang, but there were only two hundred soldiers left around him.
Although he believed that his father could resist the joint offensive of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ang, he was not half sure whether Xiangyang City could be defended.
Liu Qi looked at the crazy attack of the Cao army outside the city, and gritted his teeth: "Cao Ang, you are deceiving people too much!" β
A chill also appeared in his heart, once Jingzhou City was broken, all his power and wealth would be in vain.
"Report!"
"Lord Qi, the Cao army is storming Xiangyang City, I'm afraid it won't be long before Xiangyang City is in danger."
Liu Biao sat in a chair, his face as pale as paper, obviously seriously injured.
Liu Qi looked at his father worriedly: "Father, what should we do?" β
"Panic what!" Liu Biao scolded.
Liu Qi shrank his neck in fright and stopped speaking.
"Send an order to the generals, let them drag Cao Ang as much as possible and wait for rescue!"
Liu Biao knew that the generals under his command were not good at defending the city, and if Cao Ang attacked the city with all his might, I was afraid that it would not be long before it would be breached.
The only thing he can do is stall for time, hoping that the generals will persevere.
Liu Qi immediately went down to carry out Liu Biao's order. (End of chapter)
