Chapter 689: Hold on

"General, the enemy army is storming the city and asking for reinforcements."

Outside the city of Xiangyang, the Cao army was attacking frantically, and each one was more ferocious than the other, some ordinary generals couldn't stop it at all, many soldiers were killed, and the city wall was crumbling.

Liu Qi's face turned pale, and he scolded in a low voice: "Waste, a bunch of waste!" ”

But just as he was about to go to the southern part of the city to recruit soldiers in person, a familiar figure suddenly blocked in front of him.

"My good brother, don't come unharmed." Liu Cong said with a smile.

Liu Qi's face was gloomy, and he knew that this time he might not be able to escape.

"Liu Cong, are you forcing me?" Liu Qi said viciously.

"Hahaha, forcing you?" Liu Cong laughed: "My good brother, it's so funny for you to say this, you forced me by yourself!" ”

"Hmph, I tell you, I will definitely bring you to the funeral today!" Liu Qi said coldly.

"yes, I'm looking forward to it." Liu Cong made no secret of his disgust for Liu Qi: "I just don't know who died first!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Liu Qi was furious: "Liu Cong, you dare to speak disrespectfully to me, it seems that the lesson you received last time in Shouchun is not enough!" ”

"Oh? Last time? Isn't it because Lu Bu broke his leg last time? Liu Cong said with a smile.

Liu Qi's face turned red when he heard this, he didn't expect Liu Cong to even remember this matter clearly, and glared at the other party hatefully: "Liu Cong, I must lead the troops out of the city today, if you are interested, get out of here!" ”

"If you want to go out of the city, you have to ask me if I agree?" Liu Cong sneered: "I will definitely take your life today!" ”

Liu Qi looked at him vigilantly, because Liu Cong in front of him had slowly drawn out the long sword at his waist, obviously preparing to make a move.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Qi said sharply: "Could it be that you really want to kill me?" ”

Liu Cong sneered: "I've been unhappy with you for a long time, and today I just took this opportunity to get rid of you!" ”

Liu Qi was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Liu Cong, you traitor, you actually want to kill your brother, you are simply inferior to a beast!" ”

Liu Cong didn't bother to pay attention, pulled out his sword, kicked the shield beside him, and then swung his long sword and stabbed at Liu Qi.

Seeing this, Liu Qi's face changed slightly, he knew that he was definitely not Liu Cong's opponent, so he turned around and ran.

"Where to go!"

Liu Cong sneered when he saw this, and hurriedly chased after him.

But as soon as he took a few steps, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot from the side and nailed it to the front of Liu Cong's toes, almost piercing his calf.

Apparently the archers have shown mercy.

"Who?"

Liu Cong stopped and looked around, his eyes were extremely sharp.

"Shhh

Soon several black-clothed men suddenly appeared, each holding a bow and arrow in their hands, aiming at Liu Cong.

Liu Cong's face suddenly looked ugly, he didn't expect that there was still a master hiding in secret, but fortunately he didn't rush to chase Liu Qi just now.

"Who are you?" Liu Cong said in a deep voice.

"We are all secret guards who are ordered by the lord to protect Liu Qi's son." The man in black's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

The current thing makes him feel a little difficult to do, because this obviously belongs to Liu Biao's family affairs, and the slightest carelessness will cause conflicts.

After all, Liu Biao once reminded them that they must carefully protect Liu Qi, and must not let him be hurt in the slightest, otherwise they will definitely not be spared.

Liu Cong's face became a little ugly, he originally thought that he could successfully kill Liu Qi this time, but he didn't expect such trouble to arise at the last moment.

"Who are you?" Liu Cong furrowed his eyebrows, and at the same time was thinking about a way to break the situation.

Liu Cong was not stupid, he understood the meaning of this.

"I'm sorry, but we're only at the mercy of the Lord." The man in black at the head said lightly: "We are only responsible for protecting the safety of Liu Qi's son, as for other things, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Liu Cong frowned, this answer was a little beyond his expectations, he knew that these secret guards didn't want to tear their faces with him.

"In that case, I'll leave first!"

Liu Cong arched his hand, and at this point, he could only choose to retreat, and wait until he found a suitable opportunity to counterattack.

"Hmm!" The man in black nodded.

Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then a look of resentment appeared in his eyes, he didn't expect Liu Cong to come to assassinate him so blatantly.

Especially at this special moment.

"Liu Cong, I am inseparable from you!" Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said.

"Childe, are you alright?" A maid walked up.

"It's fine!"

Liu Qi waved his hand, and then said to the maid: "Send someone to the south gate immediately, and then gather the soldiers and horses." ”

"Yes!" The maid immediately turned and ran south.

"Liu Cong, let's see!" Liu Qi clenched his fists and said coldly.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came into his ears, and Liu Qi's face changed instantly, and a sense of foreboding appeared in his heart.

"Report!"

Soon Liu Qi received the news that the granary was ambushed, and all the stored grain was burned, leaving not a single grain behind.

"Bastard!" Liu Qi roared angrily, his eyes red: "Cao Ang, Lao Tzu fought with you!" ”

But the last shred of reason grabbed Liu Qi, he knew that now was not the time to be rash, otherwise he would face more enemies.

"Childe, the granary is destroyed, what are the soldiers eating?" The adjutant general worried: "This has a huge impact on the army, and if it cannot be replenished in time, I am afraid it will affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers." ”

Liu Qi also thought of this problem, and he said in a deep voice: "Send an order to the generals, let them raise as much grain and grass as possible, and transport it to the barracks at all costs." ”

"In addition, inform the county guards to strengthen their defenses, and they must hold the city and resist until reinforcements arrive."

"Yes!"

On the other side, Cao Ang took the lead and directly led the army behind him to rush into the Jingzhou army in front of him.

He wields a sword and swings it from side to side, killing his enemies to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables.

The blood splattered on Cao Ang's armor, but it also made him look even more vicious and terrifying, like a devil who had come out of hell.

Cao Ang's martial arts are very strong, and as a general, he naturally does not have this ability.

Just as he led his troops to rush into the Jingzhou army camp outside the city, several cavalrymen suddenly appeared around him, stabbing at him with sharp weapons in their hands.

But Cao Ang had already expected the other party to sneak attack, so he did not dodge, but went head-on, and with a backhand sword, he slashed away the soldiers who wanted to assassinate him.

"Ahh With screams, the two cavalrymen beside Cao Ang were beheaded.

Cao Ang raised his sword again, and another group of people rushed towards him, and this attack quickly caused Cao Ang to fall into a bitter battle.

But even so, Cao Ang was still fierce, his sword swimming through the crowd like a poisonous snake, taking away a life with every slash.

Cao Ang's prestige had already spread all over the world, and the Jingzhou army was naturally afraid when they saw him so brave, so they retreated one after another, and there were even escapers.
