Cao Zhang, who was originally ambitious and prepared to annihilate the Jing army in the valley, was stunned by the advanced weapons.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains, Cao Zhang was heartbroken.
I heard that the power of Jingguo's powerful weapon, the sky-blasting artillery car, is still a mystery. If this object appears at Jingxingkou, there will be almost no suspense of victory in this battle.
If Jingxingkou is broken, Yejing will be in danger!
Ye Jing was defeated and the Wei Dynasty was destroyed!
Thinking of this, Cao Zhang couldn't help but shuddered, and when he woke up, a killing cry suddenly came from his ears. When he looked for the sound, he saw that Jing's army was already coming to kill him.
Cao Zhang's face went numb for a while, and he roared angrily: "Soldiers who can still carry out orders, follow me to kill the enemy and protect the country!"
There were a total of 6,000 Wei troops ambushing on both sides of the valley, 3,000 on each side. Under the combined attacks of rocks and giant arrows, the 3,000 troops were almost wiped out, and only less than 100 were left alive.
Cao Zhang saw that there were only a few dozen people, but he laughed with relief: "In ancient times, Xiang Yu's hundred cavalry broke through the siege of Liu Han's heavy troops. Today, Japan will lead all the soldiers to kill all the Jing army. Kill one to earn your base, kill two to earn one. Fight to the death without retreating, and your military exploits will surely benefit our descendants! Follow me...kill the enemy!"
"kill!"
Dozens of Wei troops, led by Cao Zhang, actually launched an attack.
Li Yan sneered and led his army to kill.
As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king. Cao Zhang rushed down to kill Li Yan. As long as he killed the local generals, the Jing army would be leaderless and naturally defeated, but he underestimated Li Yan.
Li Yan is a general with both wisdom and courage. His marksmanship is not as fast and ruthless as Zhang Ren's, nor as fierce and heroic as Ma Chao's. His marksmanship is somewhat strategic, and his marksmanship is very stable. At this moment, Cao Zhang was fighting with all his might. If he had given it to others, he would probably be in trouble, but Li Yan would not.
Normally, Cao Zhang's sword skills would be superb and flawless, and coupled with his extraordinary arm strength, he would be hard-pressed to meet an opponent. But today, Cao Zhang was red-eyed. He was swinging his sword skills extremely fiercely, but without any plan, and he aimed his sword towards Li. Yan's forehead was slashed, and after being dodged, the fierce force of the knife evenly chopped off a thick tree next to him.
It can be seen that his arm strength is well-deserved.
Even when Li Yan saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Li Yan did not dare to neglect, and the two sides fought for dozens of rounds. Cao Zhang's sword skills were sharp, while he was skillful with his spear. After a few rounds, Cao Zhang's strength gradually failed, and a fatal gap appeared. Li Yan immediately switched from defense to offense. The spear stabbed suddenly. Cao Zhang hurriedly resisted a few moves and was unable to parry, and was stabbed in the shoulder blade.
Cao Zhang was in pain, gritting his teeth and his mouth was full of blood.
Li Yan hurriedly brought him down, and the guards on the left and right swarmed in and captured Cao Zhang alive.
At this time, dozens of Wei soldiers were all annihilated under the joint siege of Jing's army, and Cao Zhang was escorted away with five flowers tied up.
Capturing Cao Zhang alive was an unexpected surprise. When Zhang Liao saw that Li Yan had captured Cao Zhang alive, he immediately commended him for his military exploits. Then he ordered the two soldiers to quickly clear the route blocked by gravel at the bottom of the valley, and rushed to Jingxingkou to tie up Cao Zhang. In front of the formation, block Xiahou Yuan's troops.
An hour later.
The body of the Hongtian Cannon Cart was covered with red cloth, showing its mystery.
The 50,000-strong army marched toward Jingxingkou in a mighty manner. At the front was Cao Zhang, who was tied to the cross. He was protected by Zhang Ren and Ma Chao on the left and right, and Zhang Liao and Zhuge Liang were behind him.
The valleys on both sides were occupied by the armies of Li Yan and Yang Bai.
Thirty Kecheng heavy crossbows were lined up in a row, and in the middle was a Hongtian artillery cart covered with red cloth. Behind the Hongtian artillery cart was Cao Zhang.
Jingxingkou.
When a deafening roar sounded in front of the valley, Xia Houyuan hurriedly climbed to the top of the city to take a look. He saw boulders flying and dust flying on both sides of the valley. He could only hear the tragic screams and the roar of boulders, but could not see what was happening inside. What the hell, let alone sending out the army.
The guard in the valley ahead is Cao Zhang, Cao Cao's favorite second son.
If something happened to Cao Zhang, he couldn't bear the blame. However, the importance of Jingxingkou was related to the survival of Wei State, and he couldn't bear it either. After thinking about it, Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth and ordered the entire army to be on alert and sent out Tan Ma went to the valley to investigate the situation.
More than a dozen people were sent out to explore the area, but none of them came back.
After the noise in the valley ended, the whole world became quiet.
The scouts who were sent out still did not come back. Xiahou Yuan was so anxious that he could not sit still. He sent out five or six waves of scouts one after another, but none of them came back.
The more this happened, the more anxious Xia Houyuan became.
Regardless of Cao Zhang's prominent status, Jingjun really dared to kill Cao Cao's son. Cao Ang was a living example, so he couldn't help but not be anxious.
If something happens to Cao Zhang, even if Jingxingkou is defended, his crime will be greater than his merit.
After waiting anxiously for about an hour, when the banner of Jingjun Commander Zhang Liao appeared at the entrance of Jingxing, Xia Houyuan's eyes were attracted by a familiar figure at the front, and his two small eyes widened. It was as big as a bell, and the eyeballs almost burst out of their sockets, and I felt a chill in my heart.
Jingjun was going to use Cao Zhang as a shield.
Xia Houyuande stared at Cao Zhang, his clenched hands trembling, and he gritted his teeth, as if he was making a difficult decision.
Zhang Liao saw Xiahou Yuan on the top of the city and laughed loudly: "General Xiahou, now that Emperor Wei's second son Zhang is in my hands, do you still want to resist?"
Zhang Liao's voice came to his ears. Xia Houyuan looked confused, as if he heard it but didn't seem to pay attention. He clenched his teeth and stared at Cao Zhang. He turned his head with a slight hesitation. For some reason, his whole body began to tremble, and his face was full of tears. Zhang Liao, who was smiling easily, and Xia Houyuan suddenly smiled.
Then he laughed wildly and pointed at Zhang Liao: "Zhang Liao! Don't you just want to use your identity as Cao Zhang to tie my hands and feet? I tell you!" He suddenly stopped smiling, and his eyes glowed with iron-gray dark light, staring at Zhang Liao said sinisterly: "You are dreaming! If I, Xia Houyuan, take one breath, your Jingjun will never even think of stepping past Jingxingkou!"
Then he stared at Cao Zhang and said: "Cao Zhang, for the sake of my kingdom in Wei Dynasty, I, Xia Houyuan, will kill you first today. When the Jing army is defeated, I will personally go to the emperor to apologize and commit suicide and return your life!"
Cao Zhang stared at Xia Houyuan and nodded heavily.
Xia Houyuan's eyes turned red instantly, he gritted his teeth, and dared to draw his bow and arrow cleanly, aiming at Cao Zhang's neck. His heartbeat suddenly stopped, his breathing was heavy, and his whole body began to tremble. He stared at Cao Zhang and roared. : "Your life will be returned to you after this battle!"
"Whoosh!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a rapid sound of breaking through the air, and the sword shot towards Cao Zhang as fast as lightning.
Cao Zhang closed his eyes and waited for death.
"clang!"
Just when the arrow was coming, Zhang Ren and Ma Chao on the left and right took action at the same time, blocking it accurately and shooting it to the side.
Xia Houyuan actually felt relaxed when he saw this.
