Chapter 2850: Kill Qiu and lead Zhang Shan to destroy the inner city and capture Cao Bin
Chapter 2847: Kill Qiu and lead Zhang Shan, destroy the inner city and capture Cao Bin
Dong…
Seeing that the enemy had walked away and completely relaxed, Dian Wei felt a numbness and severe pain all over his body. He couldn''t even hold the weapon in his hand and directly hit the ground, which scared Xu Chu on the side.
Xu Chu stepped forward to support Dian Wei and asked with concern: "Brother Dian, are you okay? Brother, I will **** you back to the rear for treatment."
Even a tough guy like Dian Wei was grinning because of the injuries on his body, but he still forced himself to say, "It''s just some skin injuries and some loss of strength, it doesn''t hinder it. It won''t take long to recover."
Even though Dian Wei was seriously injured, he could not hide the joy on his face. After all, he killed the famous general Xue Ju of the Central Plains this time.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xue Ju had already made great reputation. After Zhu Yuanzhang''s death, Xue Ju rebelled against Zhu Di and eventually failed to surrender to Cao Cao, which directly triggered a melee between the countries in the Central Plains.
It is no exaggeration to say that the influence caused by Xue Ju himself is more than dozens of times that of his force, so his head is full of gold.
Such a tiger general fell into the hands of Dian Wei, which would undoubtedly embellish Dian Wei''s achievements even more brilliantly.
As a veteran who has been active on the battlefield until now during the Yellow Turban period, Dian Wei''s record is naturally very excellent. He has fought against many famous generals such as Luo Shixin, Houyi, Guan Yu, Gao Ang, and killed many generals, such as Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zhan, Yu Zhao, etc.
But in Dian Wei''s record of killing generals, except for Kuafu, the general of Shu Kingdom, no one has the value of gold compared to Xue Ju.
But Kuafu was killed by Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Huang Zhong, and the last blow was made by Huang Zhong, so most of the credit was naturally due to Huang Zhong.
In contrast, although Xue Ju was created by Xu Chu, the fatal blow was made by Dian Wei, so the head naturally belonged to Dian Wei.
Xu Chu was also a little envious of Dian. Although Yu Hualong, whom he killed before, was not inferior to Xue Ju, his fame was completely different from Xue Ju, and it was not very helpful to him in adding his record.
But it doesn''t matter. He joined forces with Dian Wei to fight against four generals Zhang Guifang, Xue Ju, Zhu Hai and Qiu Yin. He each defeated at least 80% of the pressure, and also played a major auxiliary role when Dian Wei killed Xue Ju.
Therefore, even if Xu Chu could not share half of the credit for Xue Ju''s head, at least 40% of it belonged to him.
On the other hand, with Cao Bin''s order, a large number of Cao soldiers retreated to the inner city, but this action caused Yin Chengxiu, who was still entangled with Ma Chao, tortured.
Yin Chengxiu lost his mind because his father Yin Puluo died at the hands of Ma Chao. He vowed to kill Ma Chao to avenge his father. But even with the blessing of "bone connection", he only allowed him to catch up with Ma Chao in additional amplitude.
After all, even if Yin Chengxiu of Jiwu 103 broke through to the level of a peak **** general, there is obviously a certain strength gap between him and Ma Chao, who is a **** of war.
After the fifteenth round of battle between the two sides, Yin Chengxiu knew the gap and felt aroused in her heart, but how could Ma Chao let him escape?
Under Ma Chao''s entanglement, Yin Chengxiu could not beat him and could not escape. In desperation, he had to use the method of fighting with his life, intending to pull Ma Chao to take the back even if he died in battle.
Ma Chao naturally did not want to die with Yin Chengxiu, so he used the delayed play, intending to delay Yin Chengxiu''s combat power declined and defeated him in one fell swoop, so he was unable to win Yin Chengxiu for a long time.
As the battle situation between the two continued to advance, Yin Chengxiu''s gunshot wounds gradually increased. If this trend continues, it would be difficult to even damage Ma Chao if he died together.
At a critical moment, Yin Chengxiu''s best friend, Zhang Shan, who was also Jiangling during the period of the founding of Gods, arrived in time.
Although Zhang Shan''s name is very passerby, his performance in the Conquest of Gods was extremely good. He suppressed Deng Jiugong in thirty rounds. If it weren''t for being injured by Deng Chanyu''s sneak attack, Deng Jiugong would probably die under his command.
After being born, Deng Jiugong had the combat power of a first-level war god. Even if he was the one at the bottom among the first-level war gods, he was also a real war god. Zhang Shan''s strength was obviously higher than that of Deng Jiugong.
Yin Chengxiu, who was connected by flesh and blood, and Zhang Shan, the first-level war god, joined forces to fight Ma Chao of Jiwu 105. He thought he would definitely defeat the other party, but he didn''t expect that Ma Chao with the buff was not something they could deal with.
There has been a delay in winning Yin Chengxiu, but Ma Chao doesn’t want to be injured because of this. Now that Zhang Shan is here, Yin Chengxiu thinks he will win, and has lost the determination to die together, and the threat to Ma Chao is not as great as before.
Facing the joint efforts, Ma Chao responded calmly but became more and more courageous as he fought. Both of them were frightened by this and both of them were tempted.
Previously, Yin Chengxiu was alone and could not escape under Ma Chao''s gun.
Now, if Yin Chengxiu and Zhang Shan escape separately, even Ma Chao can only take care of one, so at least one can escape.
But the two of them are sympathetic to brothers, so they will naturally not abandon each other and run away alone, so they plan to break through together, but this requires a suitable opportunity.
But at this moment, Cao Bin issued an order to withdraw into the inner city, and this action caused Yin Chengxiu and Zhang Shan to be miserable.
Although it is difficult for the two to break through together, it may not be impossible to achieve it. But now after Cao Bin issued such an order, if all the Cao soldiers around him retreated, Zhang Shan and Yin Chengxiu would be surrounded by the Qin army. It will be even more difficult for them to retreat by then, so it is time for them to make a choice.
Yin Chengxiu knew that Zhang Shan was in the current danger to save him, so he decisively asked Zhang Shan to retreat, and he was responsible for delaying time for Zhang Shan.
Zhang Shan was naturally unwilling to hear this, but Yin Chengxiu did not give him a chance to refuse. She slapped his mount on the butt, and then decisively rushed towards Ma Chao with a knife and shouted, "Go away."
Zhang Shan burst into tears when he saw this, but in order not to let down his good brother''s sacrifice, he chose to break through without looking back.
Looking at this scene of brotherhood, Ma Chao did not stop it. After all, these two people are not weak, and he can still stop a person''s counterattack before death. If these two people are forced into a hurry, he may not be able to stop his counterattack before death.
“What a pity.”
Looking at Yin Chengxiu who rushed over without hesitation, a hint of regret flashed in Ma Chao''s eyes. If he had not had a grudge against him to kill his father, he would have definitely given Yin Chengxiu a chance to surrender to Qin.
Unfortunately, the hatred of killing my father is too deep and cannot be resolved, and I will never stop until death.
Ma Chao could not allow such an enemy to surrender to Qin. Even if he could not care about Yin Chengxiu''s revenge, he might bring disaster to the Ma family and future generations in the future, so he had to kill Yin Chengxiu.
"If you want to blame, just blame your father for being old and not being able to be rude."
After Ma Chao let out a loud shout, he first blocked Yin Chengxiu''s attack with one gun, and then shot a top shot with all his strength. Yin Chengxiu was caught off guard, and his hands holding the weapon rose without feeling it, so that the middle door opened wide, revealing a fatal flaw.
"The seventh style of Fubo''s marksmanship, the water waves are not shocked."
Ma Chao sniffed, and the spear in his hand turned into a gorgeous gun shadow as it danced. While piercing through Yin Chengxiu''s throat, the gun energy also cut off the meridians of his arms, thus achieving the purpose of blocking any reaction.
Puff…
Yin Chengxiu''s mouth was bleeding unconsciously, her eyes were full of unwillingness, but she could no longer make any noise. In the end, Ma Chao fell off his horse and died after pulling out the gun.
At the same time, Xuchang inner city.
With Cao Bin and a large number of soldiers retreating, the empty inner city, which originally had only more than a thousand defenders, instantly became crowded and its defense was greatly improved.
Soon, Wei Wuji, Zhang Guifang, Zhu Hai, Qiu Yin and other generals led dozens of soldiers, and the most were nearly 100, and they all retreated to the inner city area one after another.
Cao Bin stood on the inner city tower, holding a thousand-mile mirror in his hand. Seeing that the Qin army was quickly approaching the inner city, he immediately ordered Wei Wuji, Zhang Guifang and others to move to Cao Wei at the east gate. This decision was naturally opposed by the generals led by Wei Wuji.
First of all, they didn''t expect Cao Bin to leave behind the rear in person.
Secondly, as the highest person in charge of the Cao army in Yingchuan, if Cao Bin is not here, it will definitely affect the morale of the breakout army.
But facing the persuasion of the generals, Cao Bin pointed at the Cao army soldiers in the inner city and said in a deep voice: "You see the eyes of these soldiers, your eyes are full of fear and confusion. If this governor leaves, let alone delay time. They may surrender directly to the Qin army. Only by staying with us can these soldiers stabilize."
After hearing this, Wei Wuji, Zhang Guifang and other generals fell into silence. They knew that Cao Bin was right, but it was a little difficult to accept for a while.
"It won''t be long before the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Ma Chao will arrive in the inner city. At that time, you can''t even leave. While the Qin cavalry hasn''t arrived yet, hurry up and give me the supervisor." Cao Bin shouted to Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji''s eyes were full of struggle, but in the end he chose not to let Cao B out and left with Cao Bin''s expectations, while Zhang Guifang and Zhu Hai followed closely behind.
It is worth mentioning that Qiu Yin did not leave.
Cao Bin also looked puzzled when he saw this. He didn''t understand very well that he had let him go, but why did Qiu Yin give up the opportunity to survive?
"If all of them are gone, there will be no general in the inner city, and it will not be delayed for long."
Hearing Qiu''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 in the lieutenant of the Jinshi. It was the lord who discovered my talent and allowed me to learn magical skills, be appointed as a general and be a marquis, and make achievements. I will give this life back to the lord."
The lieutenant who touched the gold medal earned money by robbing the tomb. Once such an immoral thing was exposed, it would undoubtedly have a great blow to Cao Cao''s reputation.
Therefore, when Cao Cao first established the Touching Jin Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun Cun C
As for why this matter was leaked later? This is not that there was a traitor in the lieutenant of the Touching Crown Captain, but that Cao Cao was crazy and greedy, and his eating habits were too ugly, so the tomb robbery could not be hidden.
Qiu Yinmiaojin was born as a lieutenant and was originally a dead soldier. He was absolutely loyal to Cao Cao, so he naturally would not care about his life and death.
Seeing that Qiu Yin was firm in his attitude, Cao Bin stopped saying anything. He really needed the general to stay and help him cut off the rear.
Under the comfort of Cao Bin and Qiu Yin, the Cao army soldiers who retreated into the inner city quickly stabilized.
Many of them don’t want to fight anymore, after all, they can’t win at all, but Cao Bin, as the main general, has no meaning at all.
Several military marquis proposed to surrender, but Cao Bin directly asked Qiu Yin to behead him on the spot on the grounds of disturbing the morale of the army to deter him. Therefore, no one dared to surrender again. He could only transport supplies honestly and prepare for the final battle to defend the city in the inner city.
Cao Bin was observing on the city tower and saw that two Qin cavalry were about to arrive, he immediately urged the soldiers to complete the defense as soon as possible.
But at this moment, I saw Yin defeated Yin Chengxiu and his son guarding the position where they were guarding. A general dressed in Cao Jun lieutenant costume fled alone in the direction of the inner city. While fleeing, he shouted, "Open the city gate quickly", while Ma Chao led a large group of cavalry to chase after him.
"Grandmaster, you cannot open the city gate. If you open the city gate at this time, Ma Chao will probably rush in. Besides, this person is probably surrendered to the Qin army." Qiu Yin said in a deep voice.
"Why do you say that?" Cao Bin pondered.
"Look at the Grand Governor, this is the position guarded by General Yin Pufai, but only this person broke out. The last general does not think that this person is stronger than General Yin Pufai."
Qiu Yin’s implication is that Zhang Shan has surrendered to Qin, and it is a chess piece used by Ma Chao to open the city gate.
I have to say that Zhang Shan was really unlucky. He was first cheated by Cao Bin''s order to retreat. He finally broke through the siege but was misunderstood by his own people.
It is reasonable for Qiu Yinhui to think so. After all, Zhang Shan has not joined the Wei army for a long time, has a low grade, and is not very famous yet. It is really hard to believe that he can break out under the pursuit of Ma Chao.
Qiu Yin didn’t know Zhang Shan, but Cao Bin knew that his understanding of Zhang Shan was all from Yin Pufa, so his understanding was not high.
Cao Bin knew that Zhang Shan and Yin Chengxiu were in love with brothers. If 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 gate under the current circumstances, so he had to let the soldiers whisper the flag and let Zhang Shan break into the east of the city.
At the same time, Xuchang East Gate.
Cao Bin''s son Cao Wei, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Gong and other civil and military officials were relieved when they saw Wei Wuji finally arrived with Zhang Guifang, Zhu Hai and others. After all, it would not be easy for them to break through the siege without Zhang Guifang and Zhu Hai.
Cao Wei looked at the direction of the inner city nostalgia. He knew that his father was afraid that he would be more fierce this time, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said, "Go on all orders and the whole army breaks through."
Previously, Chen Gong advised Cao Bin to be prepared for breaking through, and Cao Bin listened to his words, and personally left behind to cut off the rear, and asked his son Cao Wei to lead his army to break through, but he didn''t know that this would fall into Chen Gong''s plan.
Although Chen Gong did not explicitly ask Cao Bin to keep the rear guard in person, if Cao Bin acted as planned, as long as he wanted Cao Wei to break out, Cao Bin must keep the rear guard in person to stabilize the soldiers retreating into the inner city, so as to gain enough time for Cao Wei to break out.
As for why Chen Gong tried hard to let Cao Bin keep the rear? Of course, Cao Bin was very loyal and never dispelled his suspicion of him. It was difficult for him to perform under Cao Bin''s command, but Cao Wei and Cao Wenzhao were different.
Cao Wenzhao was captured and released together with him. After this period of hardship, Cao Wenzhao trusted Chen Gong very much and was 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 was still respectful. In addition, Cao Wei was very filial. If he learned that Cao Bin was not dead, but was captured, Chen Gong would be able to instigate him to reverse it.
Therefore, if only two people replace Cao Bin, Chen Gong could do it as much as possible.
"Don''t kill Cao Bin..."
Looking at Xuchang City behind him, Chen Gong couldn''t help but pray in his heart.
Cao Bin has been sending people to secretly monitor him, so just in case, Chen Gong did not contact the Black Bingtai spy. The Qin side did not know his plan, and everything could only be done by tacit understanding.
However, Chen Gong believed that with Ying Hao and Guo Jia''s strategy, after learning that Cao Bin personally left behind the various things that broke the dead end this time, he would definitely be able to analyze his intentions.
The line of sight returned to the inner city of Xuchang.
Zhang Shan, who was running for life at full speed, saw the soldiers whispering flags on the inner city tower, immediately turned around and prepared to break eastward, but unexpectedly, he happened to hear the sound of the trumpet of the army breaking through the east gate.
This also means that when Zhang Shan arrived at the east gate, the army broke through had already run away, and he had no way to catch up with the large army, so the only way to survive was to escape into the inner city.
Seeing that there was no movement in the inner city gate, Zhang Shan couldn''t help but shout anxiously: "Open the city gate quickly."
Naturally, Zhang Shan was not the only one who heard the sound of 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, "Governor, you can''t be opened..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Bin.
"Don''t worry, I have a clear idea in my mind. General Qiu, please go to the city gate yourself and open a gap for one person to enter. In addition, after Zhang Shan comes in, he will immediately use stones to seal the city gate."
"No."
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 open, and Ma Chao, who was chasing behind him, was also very ecstatic. After all, with the speed of his mount, it was not difficult to catch up with Zhang Shan. Why did he stay behind? As Qiu Yin said, it was to use Zhangshan to explode the city gate.
Ma Chao had no hope at all. After all, Cao Bin is also a famous general of the generation and it is impossible to be deceived like this. However, he did not expect that Cao Bin actually opened the city gate for Zhang Shan.
"Haha, I, Ma Chao, have the best skills to break through Xuchang." Ma Chao said secretly in his heart.
Seeing Zhang Shan fleeing into the inner city, and the inner city gate was slowly closing, Ma Chao was not retaining it and planned to rush into the city at full speed, but at this time, Zhao Yun''s shout came from behind.
"Meng Qi, come back soon, that''s a trap."
Hearing this, Ma Chao was instantly alert. If Xu Chu said this, he might have suspected that the other party wanted to steal his credit, but Zhao Yun''s words might be that he had really fallen into the trap.
Ma Chao immediately made a remedy, but it was too late. The ground in front of him suddenly collapsed, and a trap of horses appeared, causing him to fall into the trap.
The road where Zhang Shan rode his horse and ran, but it collapsed when Ma Chao passed by. Obviously, this was a trap that had been designed long ago, and he was waiting for Ma Chao to step in.
If it were normal, Ma Chao would not have fallen into the trap so easily, but in order to take the opportunity to rush into the inner city, his vigilance was minimized.
This trapped horse pit is five or six meters deep, and there are spears inserted under it.
During the fall, Ma Chao decisively nailed the wall with a shot, thus avoiding the fall, but his mount was not so lucky and was directly stabbed into a sieve by the spikes below.
Aima''s tragic death made Ma Chao both angry and distressed, but Cao Bin''s trap was more than that.
On the chariot, hundreds of crossbowmen and more than a dozen catapults had already aimed at the location of the trapped horse pit, and they would catch up with the fire at the Ma Chao at the command of Cao Bin.
Watching Ma Chao fall into the trap, Cao Bin knew that the trap could not kill Ma Chao, but he still felt a sense of relief in his heart and immediately ordered loudly: "Shoot the arrow."
Swoosh, swish, swish...
Hundreds of crossbowmen fired arrows at the same time, not only feathered arrows, but also rockets.
After the rocket fell into the trap, it immediately ignited the turbulent oil below.
It turned out that Cao Bin had arranged tincture oil below. If Ma Chao fell down, even if he was not stabbed to death by the spike, he would be burned to death by the tincture oil as long as he was stained with tincture oil.
Looking at the raging fire below, Ma Chao felt a chill behind him. Even though he turned on the inner gauze coat, he could still feel the burning heat in the air.
"Cao Bin, wait for me."
After Ma Chao gritted his teeth and cursed, he immediately pressed his center of gravity down, used the gun as a bow, and bounced himself up, but he hit a huge rock in front of him.
Ma Chao shot out with all his strength. Although he smashed the huge rock, he was immediately hit by another huge rock bomb, and then turned into a parabola and flew out, but in the end he still landed smoothly beside Zhao Yun, but he looked rather embarrassed.
Xu Chu, who happened to come, saw Ma Chao''s dusty appearance, subconsciously mocked him: "Oh, a grandma Chao would be so embarrassed. Is he having a meeting with Yuan Jiuling, or is he Yinshou?"
Maybe because he was born to be inconsistent, Xu Chu just thought Ma Chao was too good at pretending. He was obviously not very strong, but he was very good at pretending. In addition, Ma Chao is a handsome man and has a good family background. His Majesty the Emperor also liked him very much, so he disliked Ma Chao and could not help but mock the other party whenever he had the chance.
"snort."
Ma Chao was not a person who swallowed his anger. After hearing this, he snorted coldly, and immediately said sarcastically: "Xu Chu, don''t be sarcastic to me. I was just careless for a moment. Besides, looking at your current appearance, do you think you are better than me?"
Xu Chu was stunned, and then patted the horse''s neck after understanding it, and said unconcernedly: "At least my mount is still there, unlike someone, I even lost my mount."
"you…"
Ma Chao was angry, but could not refute it.
"Okay, shut up."
"Zhongkang, please say less. If the quarrels on the battlefield are laughable, it will be a joke if they are spread."
"Meng Qi, there are still a few famous horses in the Military Control Commission. You have lost your mount this time, and you can get one after the war."
Hearing Zhao Yun say this, Ma Chao''s face was a little better, but he still looked a little ugly. After all, his mount is not an ordinary famous horse, and how can the horses in the military headquarters be compared? But who made him careless?
On the city tower, when Cao Bin saw Ma Chao escape from the trapped horse pit, even if he was slightly injured, he suddenly showed disappointment on his face, but it was not considered a loss at all. At least he welcomed Zhang Shan back to the city.
Qiu Yin still had very distrust of Zhang Shan and wanted to imprison Zhang Shan first, which also caused the two to have a conflict and fight directly. If Cao Bin had not stopped him in time, he would not know when he would have fought.
Qiu Yin did not believe in Zhang Shan, but Cao Bin believed it, and his trust also moved Zhang Shan very much, and he vowed to stay and fight until the last moment.
Seeing this, Cao Bin''s face showed a complex look. He actually hoped that Zhang Shan would go, after all, there was only one dead end to stay. Moreover, through the conflict between the two just now, he also saw that Zhang Shan''s strength was not inferior to Qiu Yin.
If I had known that Zhang Shan was so strong, Cao Bin would probably have made a brand new arrangement. He might not have been able to defeat the Qin army, but at least he would not have lost so badly.
"Report to the Grand Governor, the Qin army''s infantry has followed."
After hearing this, Cao Bin and Qiu Yin''s hearts sank at the same time, after all, this also means that the Qin army will 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 feel that Qiu Yin and Zhang Shan could resist it.
The news that the Qin army was about to attack the inner city also panicked the defenders of the inner city. The fall of the outer city and the failure of street fighting have made them fear the Qin army and they are really unwilling to face the Qin army.
Seeing this, Cao Bin had to come forward again to appease the soldiers with the easy defense and difficulty in attacking the inner city, and the Qin army was difficult to capture in the short term, and reinforcements were about to arrive to deceive the soldiers.
Just like when the lower class people were fooled by the Demon Sect, they would not join the rebel army, these ordinary soldiers of Cao Wei did not have much cognitive ability, and 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 one or two days and drag the reinforcements from the Song State to arrive, the Qin army would naturally retreat at that time, but they did not know that this was simply impossible.
Regardless of whether the inner city defenders can last for a day or two, even if they can, the Song army will not be able to arrive in Xuchang. The reinforcements mentioned by Cao Bin only existed in his mouth.
The height of the inner city of Xuchang is two meters higher than that of the outer city, but in addition, the defense range is smaller, making it easier to concentrate troops, so it is easier to defend.
With the arrival of various siege equipment such as catapults, well railings, and ladders, the offensive and defensive battle in the inner city of Xuchang also started directly.
Unlike the outer city, the Qin army attacked for nine days, and then under the attack of water and fire, the defense of the west city was completely disintegrated. The defense of the inner city was obviously stronger, but the will to resist was far inferior to that of the outer city.
The four generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Xu Chu alone restrained nearly one-third of the firepower of the inner city defenders, not to mention that there were 10,000 elite Qin troops participating in the siege.
Only half an hour after the siege war started, under the high-intensity offensive of the Qin army, the morale that the defenders had finally gathered was defeated again, and there was a phenomenon of fleeing to varying degrees. No matter how Cao Bin shouted and killed the deserters, it was still impossible to stop it.
Then Zhao Yun was the first to attack the city, and Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Xu Chu were also closely behind. Cao soldiers from wherever the four generals passed surrendered, but only Qiu Yin and Zhang Shan still fought to the death and refused to surrender.
Qiu Yin, who was not easy to break through the God of War, was eventually shot to death by an angry Huang Zhong after killing eleven Qin soldiers in a row.
As for Zhang Shan, after fighting with Zhao Yun for ten rounds with all his might, he died under Zhao Yun''s gun because he refused to persuade him to surrender.
Ma Chao and Xu Chu did not kill the generals, but were in a hurry to find Cao Bin. After all, this was the biggest contribution of this battle.
When the two found Cao Bin in the Palace of Wei, there were only eight personal guards left by Cao Bin, but they were still fighting stubbornly and trying to fight until the last moment.
"Haha, Cao Bin, your life is my own."
Xu Chu rushed over with a big laugh, and smashed it with a hammer, directly killing four personal guards.
Ma Chao was not willing to be outdone. He instantly reaped four lives wherever the spear passed.
Seeing this, Cao Bin knew that he was doomed. He decisively crossed his sword and his neck, trying to commit suicide, 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, while Ma Chao''s left hand grabbed his neck. It was obvious that he had fallen into the hands of both of them, and it would be difficult for him to die.
