Chapter 208 The First Day

"Sir, be careful!"

A figure stood behind Cao Peng, blocking Li Ya.

The long arrow hit the man's chest, and he fell to the ground with a pop and never got up again. Cao Peng recognized that the man who blocked the arrow for him was none other than Zhai Jiu, his personal follower recruited in Hailing. After spending three months together, Cao Peng

Peng didn't have much communication with Zhai Peng. He was very silent, but very responsible. For at least three months, Zhai Jiong tried his best. Although he was taciturn, he actually shared many things for Cao Peng.

"Yan Ming!"

Cao Peng let out a cry of sorrow, let go of Pan Zhang, drew his sword and turned towards the galloping horse, stamped his feet, swung his hips, turned around and slashed with the sword.

The war horse neighed sadly, and the general on the horse was killed by Cao Peng.

He squatted on the bed, only to see that Zhai Jiong had died...

"Sir, leave quickly."

Chu Ge rushed over, took Cao Peng and left.

On the other side, Pan Zhang was also shouting for Cao Peng to retreat.

One after another, the fast horses rushed out of the Xiapi Army camp and chased them madly. Cao Peng was almost dragged towards Quyang City. The screams behind him rang out one after another, making him feel extremely sad. Although he had known it for a long time.

, this is an inevitable outcome. But when Cao Peng felt it personally, he couldn't help but feel extremely uncomfortable. However, he had no other choice. Even if he knew this, he could only rush forward.

Stumbling to the foot of the city wall, Pan Zhang shouted loudly: "Put down the rope."

Countless ropes were thrown off from the top of the city. Cao Peng and Pan Zhang reached out to grab the ropes and quickly climbed along the city wall. There was no way, the city gate had been blocked long ago, and behind the gate was sand weighing dozens of tons.

There is no way to open the city gate with a stone bag.

One, two, three...

When they left the city, there were 104 warriors, but when they came back, there were only a handful.

As the pursuers approached the city, Zhou Cang ordered archers to be in the room at the top of the city to prevent the enemy from getting close.

Cao Xing led a group of troops to the foot of Quyang City, and saw a dozen people climbing desperately to the top of the city. The back of one of them looked familiar. Cao Xing squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

: If he was not in Guangling, how could he appear here?

However, after thinking about it, Cao Xing still picked up his bow and took out an arrow. He opened the bow to the full moon and aimed an arrow at Cao Peng.

Cao Xing's bow had the power of three stones and more than three hundred kilograms of strength. The sharp arrow shot through the air, obviously different from other arrows, and it roared straight at Cao Peng.

Zhou Cang saw clearly from the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Sir, be careful of cold arrows."

Cao Peng was climbing the city wall when suddenly a warning sign came over him. He instinctively kicked the city wall with his feet, and his body suddenly swayed in the air. The sharp arrow almost brushed his body and hit the city wall.

On the ground, sparks flew everywhere. Cao Peng's body hit the city wall hard. Taking advantage of this moment to turn around, he saw Cao Xing pulling out the second long arrow from Hu Luli, and he couldn't help being shocked.

Others didn't know Cao Xing's archery skills, but Cao Peng knew it.

Although Cao Xing was not on the list of the Three Kingdoms Divine Arrows in later generations, it does not mean that Cao Xing's archery skills are worse than others.

Regardless of the pain on his body, Cao Peng quickly climbed up with both hands.

Cao Xing's eyes were cold, and he opened his bow and fired an arrow.

As soon as the second arrow left the string, the third arrow was on the string. The two arrows were almost fired at the same time, but their speeds were different.

The second arrow arrived later and flew towards Cao Peng almost at the same time as the first arrow. At this time, Cao Peng had already put one hand on the city top. When he heard the noise behind him, he quickly turned sideways. An arrow

He hit the city wall, but another arrow hit Cao Peng on the shoulder.

"ah!"

Cao Peng shouted, his hands softened, and his body immediately fell down the city.

A large hand reached out and grabbed Cao Peng's arm.

Deng Fan stepped on the battlement with one foot and leaned out almost completely. With a roar, he lifted Cao Peng's body up and dragged him to the top of the city.

Cao Xing couldn't help shouting that it was a pity, but his eyes showed relief.

This is the Three Kingdoms!

Even if we are friends, I will never be merciful. If you can escape from my grasp, I will still feel a little lucky for you!

Cao Peng lay on the ground, feeling his head buzzing.

Just at that moment, he once again felt the distance between life and death, so close.

His heart was beating fast, but his face looked extremely calm. He turned over and stood up, and saw Pan Zhang climbing to the top of the city. Followed by Chu Ge, and then... one, two, three... six

After the warriors climbed to the top of the city, there was no movement again.

In other words, out of the 104 people, only these nine came back alive.

Among them, Cao Peng was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and Pan Zhang was hit by an arrow in the thigh. Chu Ge was hit by three knives, and another warrior was stabbed in the head with a gun by the Xiapi Cavalry Army. After barely climbing up the city, he was already dying. Look.

In that case, Cao Peng knew that it would be difficult to save him.

Struggling, Cao Peng stood up and looked down at the city.

Chen Gong stood on a cart, surrounded by soldiers and horses, and came to the foot of Quyang City, side by side with Cao Xing.

"Chen Gongtai, you are nothing more than that!"

Cao Peng suddenly cursed, "You are a betrayer and a traitor, but you dare to offend me, Haixi. Now I will burn your camp to teach you not to underestimate the world's heroes."

"who is he?"

Chen Gong felt something looked familiar and blurted out a question.

Cao Xing had a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Peng."

"He actually came back?"

In an instant, Chen Gong seemed to understand.

He had never underestimated Cao Peng. How could Chen Gong not see the tricks Lu Ji had pulled out? But that was Lu Bu's family matter, and he would not interfere. Cao Peng was able to escape intact in that situation.

No matter what means were used, whether it was luck or scheming, it is enough to show that this boy is not simple. If this boy were here and Song Xian was in Haixi, his death would not be unjust...

There was a hint of coldness in Chen Gong's eyes.

"Shulong, let's go back."

"withdraw troops?"

"Um!"

"But……"

"The current situation is not suitable for attacking the city. Let him be arrogant. After daybreak, we will launch another attack and see what methods he has."

Chen Gong looked indifferent and ignored Cao Peng's provocation.

In fact, after so many years, what unpleasant words have he not heard? Including under Lu Bu's account, he plotted Hao Meng's rebellion. Although Lu Bu later did not pursue the matter, it did not mean that others did not pursue it. How brave and reckless the eight strong generals were

Seniors, the scoldings made by Cao Peng are much harsher than those scolded by Cao Peng. To put it mildly, Chen Gong’s heart is calm; to put it worst, he has been numbed by the scolding!

Xia Pi's army retreated just as quickly as it came.

Cao Peng felt even heavier as he watched Xia Pi's army return to the barracks in an orderly manner.

"Sir, Xiaoba is gone!"

Chu Ge cried to Cao Peng.

Xiaoba was the warrior who had a big gun pierced through his stomach. It was a pity that he crawled home desperately, but in the end he still couldn't escape death...

While running all the way, almost all of the intestines came out, and a piece of it was still hanging on the top of the city.

Cao Peng staggered over, knelt down beside Xiaoba's body, and slowly stuffed the severed intestines back into Xiaoba's stomach.

If Chu Ge hadn't told him, he wouldn't even know Xiaoba's name.

In fact, among the nearly a hundred warriors who fell outside the city, Cao Peng knew almost no one except Zhai Jiong.

On the top of the city, there was an almost suffocating and depressing atmosphere. Some soldiers couldn't help but burst into tears...

In the face of death, no one can be calm and calm. Especially when they see Xiaoba's tragic death, not many people can bear it.

"Don't cry!"

Cao Peng suddenly stood up and shouted sternly.

Pairs of eyes stared at Cao Peng for an instant.

"Xiao Ba is dead, Zhai Jiong is dead... There are still many of our good brothers outside the city, who have been sleeping forever ever since. But why did they die? They died to protect their homes and their families, and their deaths were not unjust.

"Cao Peng roared, and the city was silent.

"They are dead, but we are still alive."

Cao Peng's eyes were red, as if they were dripping blood.

"We will continue to be here to protect our land, our home, and our relatives... If anyone is afraid, just look at Xiaoba's face and remember his appearance. He never gave up until he died.

I won’t give up either! Will you give up?”
To be continued...
