Chapter 2851 Kill the hill to lead Zhang Shan to death, break through the inner city and capture Cao Bin

Chapter 2847: Cut off the hill to lead Zhang Shan to death, break through the inner city and capture Cao Bin

　　咚…

Seeing that the enemy was far away, Dian Wei, who was completely relaxed, felt numbness and sharp pain all over his body. He couldn't even hold the weapon in his hand and smashed it directly to the ground, which also shocked Xu Chu on the side.

Xu Chu stepped forward to support Dian Wei and asked with concern: "Brother Dian, are you okay? I will **** you back to the rear for treatment."

Even a tough guy like Dian Wei grimaced in pain from the injuries on his body, but he still forced his mouth to say: "It's just some skin injuries and some loss of strength. It's not a problem. It won't take long for it to heal."

Even though Dian Wei was seriously injured, he could not hide the joy on his face. After all, the person he killed this time was Xue Ju, a famous general from the Central Plains.

Xue Ju had already gained a great reputation during the Yellow Turban Uprising. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Xue Ju rebelled against Zhu Di and ultimately failed and defected to Cao Cao. This move directly triggered a melee among the countries in the Central Plains.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xue Ju's own influence is dozens of times that of his force, so his head is full of gold.

 Such a tiger general fell in the hands of Dian Wei, which will undoubtedly embellish Dian Wei's achievements even more brilliantly.

As a veteran who has been active on the battlefield since the Yellow Turban period, Dian Wei's record is naturally very good. He has fought against many famous generals such as Luo Shixin, Hou Yi, Guan Yu, Gao Gao, etc., and has also killed many generals. For example, Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zhan, Yu Zhao, etc.

 But among Dian Wei's records of beheading generals, except for Kua Fu, the general of Shu, there is really no one who can compare with Xue Ju's gold content.

 But it was Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Huang Zhong who jointly killed Kuafu, and it was Huang Zhong who delivered the final blow, so most of the credit naturally goes to Huang Zhong.

On the other hand, although Xu Chu created the opportunity for Xue Ju, the fatal blow was delivered by Dian Wei, so the head naturally belonged to Dian Wei.

Xu Chu was also a little envious of Dian. Although the Yu Hualong he killed before was not inferior to Xue Ju in strength, his reputation was not at the same level as Xue Ju's, and it did not help him much in increasing his record.

But it doesn't matter. He teamed up with Dian Wei to fight against the four generals Zhang Guifang, Xue Ju, Zhu Hai, and Qiu Yin. He alone withstood at least 80% of the pressure, and also played a major supporting role when Dian Wei killed Xue Ju.

Therefore, even if Xu Chu cannot share half of the credit for Xue Ju’s head, at least 40% of it belongs to him.

On the other side, following Cao Bin's order, a large number of Cao soldiers retreated to the inner city. However, this move made Yin Chengxiu, who was still entangled with Ma Chao, miserable.

Yin Chengxiu lost his mind because his father Yin Po died at the hands of Ma Chao, and vowed to kill Ma Chao to avenge his father, but even with the blessing of "bone connection", it only allowed him to catch up with Ma Chao in terms of additional increase.

After all, even if Yin Chengxiu, who has a base of 103, has broken through to the level of a peak **** general, there is obviously still a certain strength gap between him and Ma Chao, who is the **** of war.

Fifteen rounds after the two sides fought, Yin Chengxiu knew the difference and wanted to retreat, but how could Ma Chao let him escape?

Faced with Ma Chao's stubborn entanglement, Yin Chengxiu couldn't fight and couldn't escape. He had no choice but to adopt a life-threatening strategy, planning to take Ma Chao's back even if he died in battle.

Ma Chaoshan was unwilling to die together with Yin Chengxiu, so he adopted a delaying strategy, intending to delay Yin Chengxiu until his combat power declined, and then defeat him in one fell swoop, so he was unable to capture Yin Chengxiu.

As the battle between the two continued to progress, Yin Chengxiu's gunshot wounds gradually increased. If the fight continued at this trend, it would be difficult to even seriously injure Ma Chao, let alone die together with Ma Chao.

At the critical moment, Yin Chengxiu's close friend Zhang Shan, who was also from Jiangling during the Conferred God Period, arrived in time.

Even though Zhang Shan’s name may seem like a popular name, his performance in Conferred Gods was extremely impressive. He suppressed Deng Jiugong in thirty rounds. If he hadn’t been injured by Deng Chanyu in a surprise attack later, Deng Jiugong would have died at his hands.

Deng Jiugong had the combat power of an entry-level God of War after he was born. Even though he was at the bottom among the entry-level Gods of War, he was still a real God of War, while Zhang Shan's strength was obviously still higher than that of Deng Jiugong.

Yin Chengxiu, who is bound by flesh and blood, and Zhang Shan, the junior **** of war, join forces to fight against Ma Chao, who has a basic strength of 105. They thought they would be able to defeat the opponent, but they did not expect that Ma Chao, with full buffs, is not the two of them at all. Can be dealt with.

The reason why he was unable to capture Yin Chengxiu before was because Ma Chao didn't want to get hurt. But now that Zhang Shan is here, Yin Chengxiu thinks he will win and loses the determination to die together. The threat to Ma Chao is not as great as before.

Facing the combined forces, Ma Chao responded calmly but became more courageous as he fought. Both of them were frightened by this and both wanted to retreat.

　　Previously, Yin Chengxiu was alone and could not escape from Ma Chao's gun.

Now if Yin Chengxiu and Zhang Shan escape separately, even Ma Chao can only take care of one of them, so at least one of them can escape.

 But the two of them felt like brothers, and naturally they would not abandon each other and escape alone, so they planned to break out of the encirclement together, but this required a suitable opportunity.

But at this moment, Cao Bin issued an order to withdraw into the inner city, and this move made Yin Chengxiu and Zhang Shan miserable.

Although it is difficult for the two of them to break through the encirclement together, it may not be impossible. But now that Cao Bin has issued such an order, if all the surrounding Cao soldiers withdraw, Zhang Shan and Yin Chengxiu will be surrounded by the Qin army. At that time, they want to It was even more difficult to retreat, so it was time for them to make a choice.

Yin Chengxiu knew that Zhang Shan was in danger because he was trying to save himself, so he decisively asked Zhang Shan to retreat while he was responsible for delaying Zhang Shan's time.

 Zhang Shan was naturally unwilling after hearing this, but Yin Chengxiu did not give him a chance to refuse. He slapped his mount on the buttocks, then decisively rushed towards Ma Chao with a knife and shouted: "Go quickly."

Zhang Shan burst into tears when he saw this, but in order to live up to the sacrifice of his good brother, he still chose to break out of the encirclement without looking back.

Seeing this scene of brotherly love, Ma Chao did not stop it. After all, the strength of these two people was not weak. He could still block a person's death counterattack. If they were forced to panic, the two of them would If he counterattacks before death, he may not be able to stop it.

"Pity."

Looking at Yin Chengxiu who rushed in without hesitation, Ma Chao's eyes flashed with regret. If he had not already enmity with Yin Chengxiu for killing his father, he would definitely give Yin Chengxiu a chance to surrender to the Qin Dynasty.

 It's a pity that the hatred for killing his father is too deep, cannot be resolved, and will not end until death.

It is impossible for Ma Chao to let such an enemy surrender to Qin. Even if he does not care about Yin Chengxiu's revenge, it may bring disaster to the Ma family and future generations in the future, so he must kill Yin Chengxiu.

 “If you want to blame it, blame it on your father who is ignorant of good and evil.”

After Ma Chao let out a loud shout, he first blocked Yin Chengxiu's attack with a single gun, and then hit an overhead kick with all his strength. Yin Chengxiu was caught off guard, and the hands holding the weapon rose up unconsciously, so that the middle door opened wide, revealing a fatal flaw.

 “The seventh form of Fubo Spear Technique, the water wave will not frighten you.”

Ma Chao drank low, and the spear in his hand transformed into a brilliant spear shadow as it danced. While penetrating Yin Chengxiu's throat, the gun air also cut off the meridians in his arms, thereby blocking any reaction on his part.

 Poof…

Yin Chengxiu's mouth overflowed unconsciously, and his eyes were full of unwillingness, but he could no longer make any sound. Finally, after Ma Chao drew his gun, he fell off his horse and died.

 At the same time, the inner city of Xuchang.

With the retreat of Cao Bin and a large number of soldiers, the empty inner city, which originally had only a thousand defenders, instantly became bustling with people, and its defense power was also greatly improved.

Soon, Wei Wuji, Zhang Guifang, Zhu Hai, Qiu Yin and other generals, some with dozens of soldiers, some with nearly a hundred, also retreated to the inner city area.

Cao Bin stood on the inner city tower, holding a telescope, and saw that the Qin army was rapidly approaching the inner city. He immediately ordered Wei Wuji, Zhang Guifang and other generals to move to Cao Wei at the east gate. This decision was naturally criticized by Wei Wuji The opposition of the leading generals.

 First of all, they did not expect that Cao Bin would stay in person.

  Secondly, as the top person in charge of the Yingchuan Cao Army, if Cao Bin, the backbone, is absent, it will definitely have an impact on the morale of the breakout army.

But in the face of the generals' persuasion, Cao Bin pointed at the Cao Jun soldiers in the inner city and said in a deep voice: "See the eyes of these soldiers. Their eyes are full of fear and confusion. If the governor leaves, what will happen when he arrives?" Let alone delaying time, they may surrender directly to the Qin army. Only the governor can stabilize these soldiers. "

After hearing this, Wei Wuji, Zhang Guifang and other generals fell silent. They knew that Cao Bin was right, but they just found it difficult to accept it for a while.

"It won't be long before the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Ma Chao will arrive in the inner city. By then you won't be able to leave even if you want to. Before the Qin cavalry arrives, hurry up and leave for me." Cao Bin said to Wei Wuji in a low voice. shouted.

 Wei Wuji's eyes were full of struggle, but in the end he chose not to let Cao Bin down and left with Cao Bin's expectations, while Zhang Guifang and Zhu Hai followed closely behind.

 It is worth mentioning that Qiu Yin has not left.

Cao Bin also looked puzzled when he saw this. He didn't quite understand that he had let him go, but why did Qiu Yin give up the chance of survival?

"If everyone leaves, there will be no generals to guard the inner city, and the delay will not be long."

Hearing Qiu Yin's words, Cao Bin sighed: "General Qiu, aren't you afraid of death?"

Qiu Yin said calmly: "Qiu Yin was originally just a dead soldier among the captains of the Mojin School. It was the master who discovered my talent and allowed me to learn magical skills, so that I could become a general and a lord and make contributions. This life Just give it back to the lord."

Captain Mojin made money from dead people by robbing tombs. Once such an unethical thing is exposed, it will undoubtedly cause a huge blow to Cao Cao's reputation.

Therefore, when Cao Cao established the Mojin Academy, in order to prevent the news from leaking out as much as possible and thus affecting his reputation, all members of the Mojin Academy were selected from dead soldiers.

 As for why this matter was leaked again later? This was not because there was a traitor among the captains of the Mojin School, but because Cao Cao was so poor and greedy that he was too ugly to look at, so he couldn't hide the tomb robbery.

Qiu Yinmo was born as a Jinxiaowei, and he was a dead soldier. He was absolutely loyal to Cao Cao, so he naturally didn't care about his own life or death.

Seeing that Qiu Yin's attitude was firm, Cao Bin said nothing more. He really needed the general to stay and help him cut off the rear.

 Under the comfort of Cao Bin and Qiu Yin, the officers and soldiers of Cao's army who retreated into the inner city quickly stabilized.

Many of them didn't want to fight, after all, they couldn't win at all, but as the general, Cao Bin didn't have this meaning at all.

Several military princes proposed to surrender, but Cao Bin had Qiu Yin beheaded on the spot as a deterrent on the grounds of disrupting the morale of the army. Therefore, no one dared to mention surrender at all and could only carry supplies honestly. , preparing for the final inner city defense battle.

Cao Bin had been observing on the city tower and saw that two Qin army cavalry were about to arrive, so he immediately urged the soldiers to complete the defense as soon as possible.

But at this moment, I saw a general wearing the uniform of Cao Junjun, riding alone towards the inner city where Yin Chengxiu and his son were guarding. He was escaping while shouting: "Hurry up!" "City Gate", while Ma Chao led a large group of cavalry to pursue him.

“Master Governor, we cannot open the city gate. If we open the city gate at this time, I am afraid that Ma Chao will rush in. Besides, this person may have surrendered to the Qin army.” Qiu Yin said in a deep voice.

 “Why do you say that?” Cao Bin pondered.

"Commander, look, this is the position guarded by General Yin Baobei, but only this person broke out. The general does not think that this person is stronger than General Yin Baobei and his son."

Qiu Yin's implication is that Zhang Shan has surrendered to Qin and is Ma Chao's chess piece to open the city gate.

I have to say that Zhang Shan was really unlucky. He was first tricked by Cao Bin's order to retreat. He finally broke out of the siege but was misunderstood by his own people.

It is reasonable for Qiu Yinhui to think so. After all, Zhang Shan has not been in the Wei army for a long time, his rank is low, and he is not well-known. It is really difficult for people to believe that he can break out from Ma Chao's pursuit.

 Qiu Yin didn’t know about Zhang Shan, but Cao Bin knew about it, but all his understanding of Zhang Shan came from Yin Pobai, so his understanding was not high.

Cao Bin knew that Zhang Shan and Yin Chengxiu were brothers. If both Yin Chengxiu and his son died at the hands of the Qin army, Zhang Shan would most likely not surrender to the Qin army, so he did not believe Qiu Yin's judgment, but it was indeed difficult to open the city under the current circumstances. Gate, so they had to let the soldiers play flags and let Zhang Shan break through to the east of the city.

 At the same time, the east gate of Xuchang.

Cao Bin's son Cao Wei, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Gong and other civil and military officials were relieved when they saw that Wei Wuji, Zhang Guifang, Zhu Hai and others finally arrived. After all, without Zhang Guifang and Zhu Hai, they It's not easy to break out of the encirclement.

Cao Wei glanced at the direction of the inner city with nostalgia. He knew that his father might be more dangerous this time, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said: "Go down, let the whole army break through."

The horn of the breakout sounded. Under the leadership of Cao Wei, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Gong, Wei Wuji, Zhang Guifang, Zhu Hai and others, the eight thousand prepared Cao troops began to break out eastward, but no one noticed Chen Gong, who was a military advisor. At this time, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Previously, Chen Gong advised Cao Bin to prepare for a breakout, and Cao Bin listened to his words. He personally stayed behind and asked his son Cao Wei to lead an army to break out. Unknown to him, this fell into Chen Gong's plan.

Although Chen Gong's breakout plan did not explicitly say that Cao Bin would stay behind in person, if Cao Bin acted according to the plan, as long as he wanted Cao Wei to break out, Cao Bin would have to leave behind in person. To stabilize the soldiers retreating into the inner city, so as to buy enough time for Cao Wei to break out.

As for why Chen Gong tried so hard to let Cao Bin stay as the queen in person? Naturally, Cao Bin was foolishly loyal and had never given up his doubts about him. It was difficult for him to perform under Cao Bin, but Cao Wei and Cao Wenzhao were different.

 Cao Wenzhao was captured with him and released together. After this difficult experience, Cao Wenzhao trusted Chen Gong very much and was also dissatisfied with Cao Bin's suspicion of Chen Gong.

As for Cao Wei, although he did not trust Chen Gong as much as Cao Wenzhao, he still respected him. In addition, Cao Wei was very filial. If he learned that Cao Bin was not dead but was captured, Chen Gong would have I'm sure I can turn him around 70% of the time.

 So, if only two people replace Cao Bin, Chen Gong can perform to his fullest.

 “But please don’t kill Cao Bin…”

 Looking at Xuchangcheng behind him, Chen Gong couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart.

Cao Bin has been sending people to secretly monitor him, so just in case, Chen Gong did not contact the Heibingtai secret agent. Da Qin did not know about his plan, so everything could only rely on tacit understanding to cooperate.

However, Chen Gong believed that based on the strategies of Ying Hao and Guo Jia, they would be able to analyze their intentions after learning the whole story of how Cao Bin personally left Suan Hou this time.

Looking back to the inner city of Xuchang.

Zhang Shan, who was running for his life at full speed, saw the semaphore flags played by the soldiers on the towers of the inner city. He immediately turned around and prepared to break out to the east. Unexpectedly, he heard the horn sound of the east gate army's breakout.

This also means that by the time Zhang Shan arrives at the east gate, the breakout army has already run far away, and he has no way to catch up with the army, so the only way to survive is to escape into the inner city.

Seeing that there was no movement at the inner city gate, Zhang Shan couldn't help but shouted anxiously: "Open the city gate quickly."

Zhang Shan was naturally not the only one to hear the breakout horn. Cao Bin also heard it. After realizing that Zhang Shan could not go to the east gate, he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

Seeing this, Qiu Yin quickly stopped him and said, "Captain, you can't open it..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Bin.

“Don’t worry, I know what’s going on. General Qiu Yin, go to the city gate in person and open the gate just enough for one person to come in. In addition, when Zhang Shan comes in, seal the city gate with stones immediately.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Qiu Yin had no choice but to take the order and leave, and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let Zhang Shan enter the city.

Zhang Shan was naturally overjoyed when he saw the city gate opened, and Ma Chao, who was chasing behind him, was equally ecstatic. After all, with the speed of his mount, it was not difficult to catch up with Zhang Shan. Why was he hanging behind? Just as Qiu Yin said, Xiang used Zhang Shan to blow open the city gate.

Ma Chao originally had no hope. After all, Cao Bin was also a famous general, and it was impossible to fall for such a trick. However, he did not expect that Cao Bin actually opened the city gate for Zhang Shan.

“Haha, I, Ma Chao, took the lead in defeating Xuchang.” Ma Chao secretly rejoiced.

Seeing Zhang Shan fleeing into the inner city and the inner city gates slowly closing, Ma Chao no longer held back and planned to rush into the city at full speed, but then Zhao Yun's shouts came from behind him.

 “Meng Qi, come back quickly, that’s a trap.”

Hearing this, Ma Chao was immediately alert. If Xu Chu had said this, he might have suspected that the other party wanted to steal his credit, but Zhao Yun's words might have meant that he had really fallen into a trap.

Ma Chao immediately tried to make a rescue, but it was too late. The ground in front of him suddenly collapsed, revealing a horse pit, causing him to fall into it with his men and horses.

 The road that Zhang Shan galloped down collapsed when it was Ma Chao's turn to pass by. It was obvious that this was a horse trap that had been designed long ago, just waiting for Ma Chao to step into it.

Normally, Ma Chaozhou would not have fallen into the trap so easily, but in order to seize the opportunity to rush into the inner city, he kept his vigilance to a minimum.

This horse pit is five or six meters deep, and it is full of spiked spears underneath.

In the process of falling, Ma Chao decisively nailed the gun to the wall to avoid falling. However, his mount was not so lucky and was directly stabbed into a sieve by the spikes below.

 The tragic death of his beloved horse made Ma Chao angry and distressed, but Cao Bin's trap didn't stop there.

On the carriage floor, hundreds of crossbowmen and more than a dozen catapults have already aimed at the position of the horse pit. They will gather fire and overtake as soon as Cao Bin gives the order.

Seeing Ma Chao fall into the horse pit, although Cao Bin knew that the trap could not kill Ma Chao, he still felt happy in his heart and immediately ordered loudly: "Fire the arrow."

　　咻, 咻, 咻…

Hundreds of crossbowmen fired arrows at the same time, not only feather arrows, but also flaming arrows.

 After the rocket fell into the horse pit, it immediately ignited the kerosene below.

It turns out that Cao Bin also arranged kerosene below. If Ma Chao fell, even if he was not stabbed to death by the spikes, he would still be burned to death if he was stained with kerosene.

Looking at the raging fire below, Ma Chao felt a chill in his back. Even if he turned on the inner air gauze, he could still feel the heat in the air.

“Cao Bin, just wait for me.”

After Ma Chao gritted his teeth and cursed, he immediately put his weight down, used his gun as a bow, and launched himself up. As a result, he hit a huge boulder head on.

Ma Chao fired with all his strength. Although the boulder was broken into pieces, he was immediately hit by another boulder bullet, which then turned into a parabola and flew away, but in the end it landed smoothly next to Zhao Yun. It just seemed Rather embarrassing.

Xu Chu, who just happened to come over, saw Ma Chao's disgraced look, and subconsciously taunted him with a foul mouth: "Hey, the dignified Jin Ma Chao will be so embarrassed. Is this because he ran into Yuan Jiuling or Yin Shou?"

Maybe it was due to his innate inability to deal with him. Xu Chu just felt that Ma Chao was too good at pretending. Although he was not very strong, he had a good way of putting on airs. In addition, Ma Chao was a handsome man with a good family background, and His Majesty the Emperor also liked him very much. So he disliked Ma Chao and couldn't help but mock him whenever he got the chance.

"snort."

Ma Chao was not the type to swallow his anger. After hearing this, he snorted in displeasure and immediately said sarcastically: "Xu Chu, don't be weird with me. I was just careless. Besides, look at your appearance now. How much better do you think you are than me?" ?”

Xu Chu was startled, then patted the horse's neck after understanding, and said indifferently: "At least my mount is still there, unlike someone who even lost his mount."

"you…"

Ma Chao was furious, but couldn't refute.

 “Okay, shut up.”

"Zhong Kang, please stop saying a few words. If you quarrel on the battlefield, people will laugh if it spreads."

"Meng Qi, there are still a few famous horses in the military supply department. You lost your mount this time. You can go and get one after the war."

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Ma Chao's expression improved slightly, but he was still a little ugly. After all, his mount was not an ordinary famous horse, and how could it be compared to the horse in the military department? But who could have let him be careless.

On the city tower, when Cao Bin saw Ma Chao escaping from the horse pit and was only slightly injured even after being hit by a stone bullet, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face. However, it was not as if he had gained nothing at all. At least he had welcomed Zhang Shan. Returned to the city.

 Qiu Yin still had great distrust of Zhang Shan and wanted to imprison Zhang Shan first. This also caused a conflict between the two and they started fighting. If Cao Bin hadn't stopped him in time, he didn't know how long the fight would have lasted.

 Qiu Yin didn't believe Zhang Shan, but Cao Bin did, and his trust moved Zhang Shan so much that he vowed to stay and fight until the last moment.

Seeing this, Cao Bin had a complicated look on his face. He actually wanted Zhang Shan to leave. After all, there was only one way to die if he was left behind. And through the conflict between the two just now, he also saw that Zhang Shan was not inferior in strength. Yu Qiuyin.

If he had known that Zhang Shan was so strong, Cao Bin would probably have made a completely new arrangement. He might not be able to defeat the Qin army, but at least he wouldn't lose so miserably.

 “Inform the Commander-in-Chief that the infantry of the Qin Army are following.”

After hearing this, Cao Bin and Qiu Yin's hearts sank at the same time. After all, this also meant that the Qin army would launch a general attack on the inner city.

Looking at the four generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, and Ma Chao outside the city, Cao Bin obviously did not think that Qiu Yin and Zhang Shan alone could resist.

The news that the Qin army was about to attack the inner city also panicked the inner city defenders. The fall of the outer city and the defeat in street fighting had made them fear the Qin army and they were really unwilling to face the Qin army again.

Seeing this, Cao Bin could only come forward to appease the soldiers again, and deceived the soldiers by saying that the inner city was easy to defend but difficult to attack by the Qin army in the short term, and that reinforcements were about to arrive.

Just like the people at the bottom who were deceived by the magic sect and joined the rebel army without their lives, these ordinary soldiers in Cao Wei did not have much cognitive ability. Basically, they believed whatever the general said.

Under Cao Bin's deception, the inner city defenders believed that as long as they could hold on for a day or two until Song's reinforcements arrived, the Qin army would naturally retreat. However, they did not know that this was simply impossible.

 Regardless of whether the inner city defenders could hold out for a day or two, even if they could, the Song army would not be able to reach Xuchang. The reinforcements Cao Bin said only existed in his mouth.

The height of the city wall in the inner city of Xuchang is two meters higher than that of the outer city. However, the defensive range is smaller, which makes it easier to concentrate troops, so it is easier to defend.

With the arrival of various siege equipment such as catapults, well traps, and ladders, the offensive and defensive battles in the inner city of Xuchang also began directly.

Different from the outer city, the Qin army attacked for nine days, and then completely collapsed the defense of the west city under the water and fire offensive. The inner city's defense was obviously stronger, but its will to resist was far less than that of the outer city.

The four generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu alone contained nearly one-third of the firepower of the inner city defenders, not to mention the 10,000 elite Qin troops who participated in the siege.

Only half an hour after the siege started, under the high-intensity offensive of the Qin army, the morale of the defenders who had finally gathered up was defeated again, and there were varying degrees of rout. No matter how Cao Bin shouted, he killed the deserters. Still can't stop it.

Zhao Yun was the first to attack the city, followed closely by Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu. All the Cao soldiers who passed by the four generals surrendered, but only Qiu Yin and Zhang Shan continued to fight to the death.

It was not easy to break through Qiu Yin of the God of War. Finally, after killing eleven Qin soldiers in a row, he was shot to death by an angry Huang Zhong with an arrow.

As for Zhang Shan, after fighting Zhao Yun for ten rounds with all his strength, he was killed by Zhao Yun's gun because he refused Zhao Yun's persuasion to surrender.

Ma Chao and Xu Chu did not kill their generals, but rushed to find Cao Bin. After all, this was the greatest achievement of this battle.

When the two found Cao Bin in the Wei palace, there were only eight personal guards left around Cao Bin, but they were still resisting and wanted to fight until the last moment.

 “Haha, Cao Bin, your life belongs to me.”

Xu Chu laughed and rushed over, slamming down the hammer, killing four of his guards.

Ma Chao was not to be outdone. Wherever his spear passed, he instantly killed four people.

Seeing this, Cao Bin also knew that he was in doom. He decisively cut his sword across his neck and wanted to kill himself, but found that he could no longer move.

When Cao Bin opened his eyes again, he saw Xu Chu clamping his blade with his fingers, and Ma Chao's left hand strangling his neck. It was obvious that he had fallen into the hands of the two of them, and it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to. .
