Zhuge was reborn and killed the old thief Sima

Yiyang Township, Pingshi County, Nanyang County, the place where Gaoxiang’s camp is located.

This is the easternmost line of defense in Nanyang, Jingzhou. Opposite it is the land of Runan County, because Gan Ning, Yang Yi and others moved away most of the young and strong people in Runan.<

/p>

Coupled with the recruitment in recent years, Runan's strength has been greatly reduced, so Liu Bei only allowed Gao Xiang, one of Zhao Yun's former lieutenants, to lead the army to garrison here.

In recent years, although Gao Xiang has not had any major wars, he has never had time to relax.

Either they continued to poach the people in Runan, or they fought one after another with Cao's army in the Langling area. There were no big battles, but small battles continued. This is about the soldiers and horses here.

At this time, less than twenty miles away from Gao Xiang's camp, Cao Ren killed a patrolling scout with an arrow, and then waved his hand again to let the army advance slowly.

"Don't make any noise. Although Gao Xiang has no ability, he is still quite cautious.

If he discovers us, it will be another fierce battle."

"Promise!" The generals under his command also immediately bowed and agreed. After reminding each other again, the army walked slowly towards the front in silence.

Cao Ren personally led the troops in this battle, leaving his son Cao Tai to garrison in Xinxi. His subordinate Lu Chang, who was a good defender, assisted in the defense, and Wang Shuang was also left behind.

He himself took Niu Jin and Chang Sui with him, as well as his subordinates such as Colonel Miao Shang, Qi Ji, Qin Yi, Zhao Shu, Li Zou and others.

Although there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, the generals under his command are all people with great reputation in the past. They are all veteran generals who surrendered under Yuan Shu or Lu Bu in their early years.

With this army and horse, Cao Ren was confident that he could easily capture Gao Xiang's camp, then quickly gather his troops and seize the Nanyang Gate.

It is not a problem to even conquer Xinye, go straight to Nanjun, and take advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou to capture half or even the entire Jingzhou.

With this longing in his heart, Cao Ren finally saw Gao Xiang's heavily guarded camp, and then slowly lurked down.

Time passed slowly, and the sun in the sky slowly lowered, and finally disappeared.

When the last light disappeared, Cao Ren finally flew onto his horse, holding a long sword and shouting deeply.

"Commanders, follow me and charge!"

"Kill!"

Under Cao Ren's violent shouts, the army rushed over directly. The first to rush over were Zhao Shu and Li Zou, the surrendered generals under Lu Bu's command.

At this time, they were holding spears and flying horses to charge. The cavalry behind them even made strange screams. It can be said that they were as powerful as a rainbow.

"Kill!"

Following Zhao Shu's loud shout, the spear swung away and an arrow shot at his front door was missed. He leaped directly over the horse in front of the camp gate with a leaping horse, and then the spear pierced him.

In the chest of the crossbowman.

After him, Li Zou and others also showed off their equestrian skills one by one, leaping up, easily overcoming the resisting horses and rushing into the soldiers and horses at the rear.

After a burst of killing, Gao Xiang’s camp suddenly lost control.

At the same time, the elite troops led by Niu Jin also rushed over and moved the resisting horses away one by one. At the same time, Cao Jun rushed over and quickly resolved the battle outside.

In just a moment, Cao Ren rushed into Gao Xiang's camp.

At this time, Gao Xiang, who was in charge of the eastern gateway of Nanyang County, had begun to retreat steadily.

"Attack, continue to charge!" Cao Ren saw the corpses here with broken arms, and looked at Gao Xiang, who was retreating in front of him with panic on his face, and smiled ferociously, "Whoever kills Gao Xiang will be rewarded with thousands of gold coins.

Personally ask the Prime Minister to grant him a title!"

"Kill~"

After hearing these words, Cao Jun's soldiers became even more crazy, charging towards the enemies in front of them one by one without any care.

It took one stick of incense to conquer the front camp, and half an hour to repel the reinforcements from the two battalions on the left and right.

In less than an hour, the Chinese army camp was directly breached, and Gao Xiang could only hold on to a small rear camp to barely support himself.

"The reward is right in front of us. If the soldiers don't kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, then when will we wait!"

"Kill the enemy!"

"Kill!"

With roars one after another, the gate of the back camp was finally knocked open by Niu Jin and others.

Li Zou and Zhao Shu immediately led the cavalry and charged away, even trying to bypass Gao Xiang's remaining army and cut off their retreat.

On the other side, Miao Shang, Qi Ji, and Qin Yi, under the command of Cao Ren, followed Niu Jin directly into the camp.

Prepare to be defeated head-on by Gao Xiang.

"Kill!"

The sound of angry shouting came from behind Gao Xiang. Looking at Cao Jun who had swarmed in and surrounded them, the panic on Gao Xiang's face slowly receded.

The arms that had been tense were slowly raised.

"Change the formation!" Following Gao Xiang's loud shout, Gao Xiang's army, which was defending in a circular formation, suddenly changed its formation and completely gave up its front.

At the same time, hundreds of strange-looking crossbow carts were pushed out directly by them, and appeared in front of Cao Jun.

"Ballista..."

After Cao Ren saw this scene, his eyes suddenly widened, but before he could give any order, Gao Xiang had already waved his arms.

"Shoot!"

With Gao Xiang's roar, hundreds of original serial crossbow vehicles left by Zhuge Liang were activated directly.

"Buzz~"

In the dark night, the buzzing sound emitted by the repeating crossbow even instantly drowned out the soldiers' shouts of killing, followed closely by the screams of Sergeant Cao's soldiers.

Because of Cao Tai's reminder, during Cao Ren's march this time, all the soldiers were wearing armor and lined with cowhide armor to ensure that they would not be killed by the so-called repeated crossbows.

At the beginning, some crossbows were indeed lost, but under the double protection of the armor and leather armor, not to mention the general, even the soldiers under his command suffered little loss.

But when the crossbow car appeared, the special long arrows easily penetrated the armor and stomach of Sergeant Cao's soldiers, easily shooting them on the battlefield.

"Play it again!"

Following Gao Xiang's words, hundreds of serial crossbow vehicles continued to fire a large number of crossbow arrows, and Cao Jun, who was wearing armor and stomach, could not avoid it in the already small and dark battlefield.

Qi Ji and Qin Yi, two generals under Yuan Shu's command at that time, were shot dead on the spot in the first confrontation, while Niu Jin was also hit by several arrows and penetrated his body, screaming in agony.

"General, hurry up... hurry up?"

Enduring the pain in his body, Niu Jin kept shouting in the direction of Cao Ren, trying to get him to evacuate quickly.

But when he looked over, he suddenly discovered something extremely ridiculous.

He could only see the back of Cao Ren there... and it was still getting further away...

"General..." Niu Jin's open mouth froze, not knowing what to say at this moment, when a voice came from behind him.

"Cao Ren doesn't want you anymore, but you still want to fight to the death?"

Suddenly turning around, Niu Jin's eyes suddenly widened. At this moment, Guan Yu, who should never be here, appeared in front of him.

And around the neck of his horse, there were two heads with frightened faces.
