Cao Xing's archery skills may be the only thing he deserves praise for. That kind of metaphysical hit rate of randomly hitting 10% to 60% of direct hits regardless of the strength of the target is also what he can do under Lu Bu's command.
The inner strength of Qi training, which is just one step above ordinary soldiers, has become an important factor for one of the eight strong generals.
The arrow pierced the sky, reaching the limit of speed. Above the cold arrow edge, a ray of cold light shone, carrying the blood mist in the air, making it particularly dazzling.
Under the city, Yu Jin was holding a shield alone and was roaring to adjust the formation of Cao's army attacking the city. He urged the archers behind him to advance and counterattack, suppressing the defenders on the city wall. A chill suddenly came from somewhere, and the hairs all over his body were almost at the same time.
Time exploded, and a piercing cold murderous intent made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Before he could think about it, his body began to tumble one step at a time, and he tried hard to protect his throat, heart and other important parts with the shield in his hand.
"Um!"
Although Yu Jin moved quickly, facing the unreasonable metaphysical hit rate of Cao Xing's archery, he was still hit immediately. The black iron arrow directly penetrated his exposed calf with its sharp edge.
With a muffled groan, Yu Jin's legs went limp, and his burly body was directly carried backwards by the impact of the black iron arrow. With a bang, he hit the ground heavily, and scarlet blood oozed out instantly.
"General!" The guards next to Yu Jin saw that Yu Jin was attacked, and quickly stepped forward with their shields, forming a shield array and firmly protecting Yu Jin in the middle.
"Archers counterattack, shielders protect carefully!" Yu Jin collapsed to the ground, resisting the severe pain in his legs and raised his head, looking at the city-capture troops who were in chaos because he was hit by an arrow, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes,
He yelled loudly.
"Damn, it's just a close call!" Above the city wall, Cao Xing spat dissatisfiedly. This was one of the top ten generals of Cao's army designated by Chen Gong. "The shot wound counts as one!" Muttered in his mouth, Cao Xing looked forward.
Sweeping one's body
Chen Gong next to him glanced at the indifferent face, swallowed his saliva calmly, and murmured in his heart, "Mom, forget it, I will definitely be beaten to death if I mention this now, even if I can't.
I will be frozen to death by the cold light in those eyes!"
Cao Xing, who was thinking wildly in his mind, could not directly take down one of the ten heads of Yu Jin, but he did not stop at all in his hands. His sharp and sharp eyes stared at Yu Jin who was protected by a group of people in the center, while sweeping away those people.
The shield-hand guard who accidentally exposed his flaw continued to look for an opportunity to kill him with one strike.
"Archers prepare, shoot from the rear at fifty steps!" Chen Gong, who was always paying attention to the entire south gate battlefield, naturally discovered the subtle changes in the vanguard of Cao's army outside the city after Yu Jin was shot by Cao Xing.
, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickly seized the opportunity to issue further orders.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
The black clouds and arrow rain reappeared. Under the sky full of arrows, Cao Jun's forwards, who were in turmoil due to Yu Jin's injury, suffered heavy losses in an instant. They fell down one by one wailing and merged with the flesh and blood mud on the ground.
"Brother! Just let me go!" Cao Hong, who was kneeling facing Cao Cao at the banner of Cao's army, naturally saw the frustration of the siege troops at the first time with his extraordinary eyesight strengthened by practicing martial arts.
There was a flash of cold light, and he, who had been kneeling upright in front of Cao Cao, bowed his head again and begged, "If we can't break the city, Hong Yuan will come to see you!"
"What happened to Wen Ze?" Cao Cao glanced at Cao Hong. For his younger brother, he had always valued him extremely since he risked his life to save Dong Shi. Whenever there was an opportunity to polish him, Cao Cao would never do it.
He was willing to let it go, but this time Cao Cao felt that it was time to polish him up, so he glanced at it and ignored it at all. He just asked Xi Zhicai with a calm face while covering the battlefield with his mental power.
"General Yu was injured by an arrow, but he is still commanding the troops to change the formation and charge!" Xi Zhicai opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes. Covering the battlefield with mental power is never an easy task, especially in
While covering the battlefield, he also had to suppress a counselor who was in a good location and was almost at the same level as him. Even with Xun You's help, it was not an easy task for him.
At this time, Xun Yu was already in the rear and in charge of government affairs, trying his best to save Yanzhou from the losses caused by his conquest with Lu Bu. Cheng Yu went to the rear to mobilize logistics. Only he and Xun You were on the front line.
Completely victorious, but although Chen Gong only has one person, he has the city as a screen and a large army as an obstacle. Even if he is one to two, Chen Gong is on top of the city gate.
, the place where spiritual power actually needs to cover the protection is only the distance between the south gate city wall and the outside of the city thirty or fifty steps. And neither Xi Zhicai nor Xun You could possibly rush forward to the place close to the city to use spiritual energy in person.
They had to fight with all their strength, and there was still a distance of six to seven hundred steps from the Chinese army banner where they were to Puyang City, and the consumption during this period was also terrifying.
"Wen Ze is injured!" Cao Cao frowned and closed his eyes deeply. Naturally, he had eliminated Yu Jin's ability. Otherwise, he would not have left Yu Jin alone among the many generals under his command to take charge of forty thousand soldiers.
The army went to seize the city, and Yu Jin's command and momentum in the early stage did not live up to his trust, but the news from Xi Zhicai at this time was not a good sign.
Next to Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai sighed. He was actually very satisfied with the general who was responsible for the main attack. Yu Jin had a firm and stable character and was rigorous in leading troops. Although he paid too much attention to the law and seemed a bit ruthless and unmotivated, under Cao Cao's command,
public
Among the generals, Yu Jin's ability is definitely at the forefront and he can be regarded as a famous general. However, this sudden arrow has actually eliminated the opportunity for him to continue to serve as the commander of this war. According to Cao Cao's emphasis on his subordinates, especially Cao Hong
of attention.
Thinking of this, Xi Zhi calmly glanced at Cao Hong, who was still kneeling on the ground begging for his life, and then looked at Cao Cao, who had his eyes closed, and murmured in his heart, "Although Zi Lian's ability is slightly inferior to that of Wen Ze,
However, he is loyal and brave, and if he is the general to capture the city, it will be miraculous even if it is not possible, and the lord values him very much!"
After clearing his mind, Xi Zhi glanced at Cao Cao, who had an indifferent expression, stepped out of the queue, and said respectfully: "My lord, the city of Puyang is within our grasp in this battle, and General Wen Ze, as our general, will seize the city lord."
General, I am now accidentally injured but I am still fighting on the front line. I am afraid it will be detrimental to my health. I feel that it is not worthwhile to harm our general for the sake of such an object."
"Huh?" Cao Cao opened his eyes and stared at Xi Zhicai, "What does Zhicai mean?"
