After drinking and eating, Cao Zhang finally decided to fight Li Shi in person.

Li Shi scolded for an hour, if he went out to kill him at this time, it would be the greatest relief of anger, and it could also greatly boost his morale and give Li Dao a further blow.

Li Shi saw that someone had killed, and even reported that his family was Cao Zhang, and he instantly became excited, turned around and waved the spear in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Cao Zhang, you shameless turtle with a shrunken head, the master scolded for an hour before you dared to come out and die!" ”

"You nameless person, I wanted you to retreat and leave you with a dog's life, but you don't know whether to live or die. Your son-in-law can only send you on the road in person! Cao Zhang held a spear in his hand and responded coldly.

"Then let's see, who will send whom on the road!"

Li Shi shouted, his eyes widened angrily, and he waved the spear in his hand, urging the war horse under the seat and rushing towards Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang didn't talk much nonsense, raised the spear in his hand, and urged the horse to meet Li Shi.

Li Shi was bent on killing Cao Zhang, avenging his two cousins and standing up at the same time, he showed no mercy and stabbed Cao Zhang's heart with a fierce shot.

Cao Zhang's martial arts are already outstanding, and during these days, he often fights against Xu Huang, Li Jin, and Xiahou Ba to increase his actual combat experience, and his skills have improved a lot compared to when he fought against Wang Yue.

Seeing the spear coming, he quickly dodged sideways, and then swung the spear in his hand and stabbed it towards the door of Li Shi's face.

Li Shi didn't expect Cao Zhang to shoot so quickly, and hurriedly collected the spear to parry.

While!

The two weapons collided with each other, and there was a muffled sound.

Li Shi only felt that his arm was slightly numb, and he was a little out of strength, obviously Cao Zhang's strength was far superior to him.

Li Shi couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration: "Huangkou Ruzi, his strength is not small!" ”

Cao Zhang sneered: "I don't just have more strength than you, my gun is faster!" ”

After Cao Zhang finished speaking, he raised his spear and stabbed Li Shi again.

Li Shi saw that Cao Zhang's spear was coming quickly, so he hurriedly raised his spear to parry, and the two of them exchanged spears and killed in one place.

When Li Shi went to war, Li Dao, Li Huan, and Li Ying all came to the city to watch the battle.

But Cao Zhang's delay in not fighting made him also happy, and he walked down the city tower to go back and rest first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went down the city, he heard the sound of war drums, and knew that Cao Zhang was going to fight, so he hurriedly called Li Huan and Li Ying to climb the city tower and watch the battle from afar.

On the position of the Cao army, Xu Huang, Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Ru, Xu Shu and others also stood at the front of the team to watch the battle.

Especially Xiahou Ba, watching Cao Zhang and Li Shi fight, he was even more eager to try, and he was ready to urge the horse to help the battle at any time.

Xiahou Ba turned around and shouted at the soldiers who were cheering for the drums: "Knock hard, knock me hard!" ”

The soldiers, on his orders, did their best and frantically hammered the drums of war.

The sound of the war drums shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Cao army also followed the drum beat, slammed the ground neatly with the weapons in their hands, and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill!" The shout cheered for Cao Zhang.

When Cao Zhang heard the war drums and shouts and cheers, he was also in high spirits, and the spear in his hand danced wildly, constantly stabbing Li Shi madly, vowing to stab Li Shi under the horse!

Li Wei heard the cheering sound from Cao Ying, and was afraid that Li Shi would lose his momentum, so he immediately shouted: "Hurry up and beat the drums, cheer for the young general!" ”

The Xiliang army was also frantically beating drums and shouting to cheer for Li Shi.

Li Shi's fighting spirit was also aroused, and the spears in his hands flew one after another, constantly roaring loudly to strengthen his strength.

Cao Zhang was naturally not to be outdone, holding a spear, his eyes were wide with anger, and his whistle was like thunder, like a tiger in the mountains.

Both of them had already fought bloody at this time, and they were both trying their best to stab each other under the horse.

After all, Li Shi roared in the sun for a long time, and he didn't eat or drink, so his physical exertion was very great.

Cao Zhang, however, waited for work with ease, was full of wine and food, and his martial arts were already stronger than Li Shi, and after the two fought for five more rounds, Li Shi gradually became a little unable to resist.

His spear-wielding movement slowed down significantly, and his strength weakened significantly, but with the last of his blood, he struggled to support it.

Cao Zhang felt that Li Shi was gradually losing his support, and he was secretly happy in his heart, his previous tactics were really effective.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Victory and defeat are often the difference between victory and defeat.

Now his advantage in physical strength and strength has become more and more obvious, and if he fights like this for another five rounds, Li Shi will definitely not be able to parry, and he will definitely be killed on the spot!

Cao Zhang felt this way, and Li Shi also felt tremendous pressure.

The subtle change between the two was clearly felt by both sides of the spectators.

Xiahou Ba was overjoyed, raised his arms and kept shouting, cheering for Cao Zhang, hoping that he could pick off Li Shi with one shot.

Li Dao stood at the head of the city, and naturally saw that his beloved son was gradually exhausted.

Of course, he couldn't watch Li Shi being killed by Cao Zhang, and immediately shouted loudly: "Mingjin, Mingjin, let the young general come back!" ”

A tight gong sounded at the head of Chang'an, which was an order urging Li Shi to withdraw his troops.

Li Shi was overjoyed when he heard Mingjin's voice, he couldn't support it anymore, where did he dare to fight again, he shook his shot, turned his horse and fled to the main formation.

Cao Zhang heard the sound of Ming Jin and knew that Li Shi wanted to escape, of course he would not let him go like this, so he urged the horse to chase after him.

Cao Zhang quickly took off the hard bow on the saddle bridge, put the arrow on it, aimed at the fleeing Li Shi, and shot it with one arrow.

The arrow was like a meteor, cutting through the void and flying towards Li Shi!

Li Shi was running with all his might, and when he heard the sound of the bowstring behind him, he knew that Cao Zhang had shot him with an arrow, so he hurriedly dodged sideways.

Although Li Shi's reaction was relatively fast, he still couldn't completely dodge the arrow, but only narrowly escaped the vital point.

Poof!

The arrow hit Lee's left shoulder, and blood spurted out.

Li Shi let out a miserable scream in pain, but he didn't dare to turn back, so he could only frantically beat his horse and flee towards the defeat of the main formation.

Xu Shu saw that Li Shizhong's arrow was defeated and fled, and the Xiliang army heard that the lineup of Ming Jin began to loosen, and immediately walked up to Xiahou Ba and said: "Zhongquan Gongzi, if you don't attack at this time, when will you wait!?" ”

Xiahou Ba reacted, immediately waved the weapon in his hand, and roared angrily: "Kill!" ”

Xiahou Ba led his soldiers and horses to cover the retreating Xiliang army.

Cao Zhang's arrow hit Li Shi, but he failed to take his life, and he was remorseful in his heart, and Xiahou Ba behind him led his troops to start rushing and killing, which also aroused his pride, and raised his arms and shouted: "Kill Li Shi, reward a thousand gold!" ”

When the soldiers of Cao Jun heard Cao Zhang's shout, they were all excited.

They had been insulted for a long time, and they were already holding their breath, but now when they heard Cao Zhang's promise of a heavy reward, how could they not fight bravely to be the first, and immediately roared and chased after them.

Li Shi was wounded by an arrow, where did he still have the heart to command his subordinates to resist the pursuit, and only cared about urging his horse to gallop towards the gate of Chang'an.

The main general fled, and the Xiliang army was in chaos, so they could only retreat with him, and those who fled slowly became the target of the Cao army led by Xiahouba.

Seeing that Li Shi was defeated and retreated, he was chased and killed by Cao's army, and he was so anxious that he immediately shouted loudly: "Archers prepare, hurry, prepare to meet the young general!" ”

The Xiliang army at the head of the city immediately began to move, and the archers quickly lined up and prepared to meet Li Shi.

Li Shi fled frantically all the way and rushed into the Chang'an City Gate first, and the defeated army behind him also followed him to retreat into the city.

Xiahou Ba led the pursuers to kill all the way to the foot of Chang'an City.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows! Close the gates! Li Wei saw that Li Shi had already entered the city, and when he saw Xiahou Ba's pursuers coming, he quickly gave an order.

The Xiliang archers, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately released arrows towards the city, and the arrows in the sky shot towards Xiahou Ba's pursuers, knocking down several Cao soldiers who rushed in front.

The Xiliang soldiers in the city gate waited until all their soldiers and horses rushed in, and quickly pushed the city gate to close the city gate.

Cao Zhang saw this scene from afar, and knew that it would be difficult to enter the city no matter how much he rushed to kill, and he was worried that Xiahou Ba was in danger, so he immediately ordered: "Mingjin withdraws his troops!" ”

Cao Jun quickly sounded the gong to collect the troops, and Xiahou Ba heard the order to collect the troops, although he was unwilling, he could only order a retreat.

When Li Wei saw Cao Jun retreating, he breathed a sigh of relief, and gave orders to Li Huan and Li Ying beside him in a panic: "Two virtuous brothers, stay here and don't let Cao Jun enter the city!" ”

He himself hurried down the tower to check on Lee's injuries.

Looking at the back of Li Dao's departure, Li Huan complained angrily: "I said a long time ago that I would not let you go out of the city, stick to the city, and if you have to go to war, you will lose soldiers and horses in vain!" ”

When Li Ying heard this, he also nodded indignantly: "His son is so protective, our son will die in vain if he dies!" You really don't treat us as human beings! ”

Both of them were full of resentment and resentment towards Li Dao......

Li Wei rushed down the city tower, came to the urn city, saw that Li Shi had slipped off the horse, was supported by several soldiers, hurriedly stepped forward, and shouted with concern: "Shi'er, how are you?" ”

Li Shi endured the pain and responded: "The child is no match for that Cao Zhang, and he was injured by that Cao Zhang's secret arrow, but fortunately I flashed quickly, but I didn't have to worry about my life." Worried my father. ”

Li Wei hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Quickly help the young general to heal his wounds and use the best medicine for his wounds." ”

The subordinates promised to help Li Shi leave.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and ordered loudly: "Pass my military order, close the city gate, defend it tightly, prevent Cao's army from attacking the city, without my order, you are not allowed to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
