Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 122

    If you walk too much at night, you will run into ghosts. If she had known that luck was so bad, she should have stepped over the ruins in the east of the city instead of detouring to the north.

    A Sheng looked at the fallen soldiers running over in the morning light, unfolded the compound crossbow with two clicks, and wound and aimed at one go. “Everyone, stay out of the way. Form an array.”

    The well-trained soldiers of the Cao family gave way in less than half a minute. The shield is raised, the crossbow is raised. Xun Shuang and Cai Yong were taking a nap while wrapped in thick cashmere blankets. At this time, they were also awakened by the sound of horse hooves and crossbow machines. Older people couldn’t stand the fright. Even if it was nothing to do with cowardice, their backs trembled.

    The sky is still dim, and the morning clouds have not yet risen. But I could see that it was the cavalry that came running, there were about a thousand cavalry. They did not make any unnecessary noises, nor did they have any excess wealth on their horses. Although the injuries were different, the military discipline was still there, as if they could fight an ambush and counterattack at any time.

    Xiliang veterans and elite soldiers.

    Twenty Seven calmly took two steps towards Ah Sheng and drew out the long steel knife.

    But the leading Xiliang general held the reins. This is a tall young man, half of his beard was burnt in the war, but he can still be seen calm and handsome. In the face of the Xiliang army with a face full of flesh, he seems to be an outlier.

    “It’s Xu Rong.” Xun Shuang reminded in a low voice, “He was sentenced to stay behind Luoyang City because of the damaged soldiers and horses in Aocang. Judging from his current appearance, it seems that he has Luo Yang escaped.”

    A Sheng nodded slightly. He fought with Cao Cao from Aocang to Luoyang City, and ran into him on the way to escape. Xu Rong committed a crime against Cao’s family in his life. She cleared her throat: “The road is out of the way, please invite the general if he wants to go.”

    Xu Rong:…

      Is it to kill this group of people and then set up an ambush, or kill this group of people and then go on the road?

    He didn’t dare to pass by the road swaggeringly like what Cao Sheng said. Leaving the back for a few hundred bolts? It’s not a young man who has just entered the battlefield.

    I was vigilant in my heart, but Xu Rong showed a wanton smile on his face: “He’s girl, so beautiful! You are not enough for me to plug my teeth, why don’t you go back to Chang’an with me.”

    Strong Crossbow!

    The Xiliang army immediately surrounded and drew their knives.

    The woman in the dark coat stood on the car and slowly loaded arrows on the crossbow: “The general wants to fight, I will drag you here with my life. It will naturally be able to avenge me.”

    As if there was invisible pressure emanating from the woman’s slender body, even if the fighting strength of the two sides was disparate, her composure gave a sense of the overall situation.

    Xu Rong was really angry. “What’s your reason?”

    “By your eagerness to escape. By the sharp arrow in my hand. By the heart of mortal death. The general is a veteran. Naturally, we know that if we don’t fight, we can all survive. If we do, we will lose both.” The lips are full and rosy, and the corners of the lips are slightly raised, as if the graceful and prosperous world is blooming, “So, the road has been given way, is the general really not going?”

    Xiliang soldiers riot, it is recommended to leave, and there are recommended to fight.

    Xu Rong hesitated. The tactical sophistication displayed by this eccentric female-led force is no less than that of the elite soldiers of Xiliang. Even the aura on her body was so powerful that she suppressed thousands of cavalry soldiers.

    It’s a big deal.

    “Two hundred people lined up with me, and the rest left first.” Xu Rong made up his mind, and then drew his sword to confront Cao Sheng’s troops.

    One horse passed, two horses passed… The woman held the crossbow and remained motionless, as if she had kept her promise. Most of the cavalry moved to twenty meters away, and Xu Rongcai controlled the horses to retreat slowly. She still didn’t move.

    It turned out that the other party was also afraid of himself, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about whether to take the opportunity to organize a charge. Then I heard a still cold female voice from behind: “If the horse’s head is turned around, I will release the arrow. The cavalry is charging, and my small body can’t stand it.”

    When did women fight like this? Which keeper’s daughter is she?

    Xu Rong had to give up his final attack plan. Just as he was about to lead his troops to leave, the ground shook again. “No, it’s the chasing troops of the coalition army!” Xu Rong secretly complained, “How come it came so quickly? Didn’t they enter the city?”

    “It seems that the general cannot leave.”

    Xu Rong turned around suddenly and saw the woman’s eyebrows and eyes illuminated by the rising sun. The next moment, she pulled the trigger. There was a sharp pain in the thigh, and the eyes turned black. “Bangdang”, Xu Rong’s knife fell to the ground. He couldn’t maintain his riding posture any longer, and he fell headfirst, and only had time to say two words before he fell into a coma: “There is… poisonous.”

    A Sheng buckled the third arrow and pointed at the Xiliang army who wanted to pounce on her and bite her: “Surrender and don’t kill!”

    Xu Rong’s lieutenant wanted to dismount and pick up the coach, but Ah Sheng shot an arrow through the throat of his mount, blood spurted like a spring, the horse whimpered and collapsed.

    The fourth arrow is wound. “Surrender and don’t kill!” The female voice was calm and majestic.

    The troops under the banner of “Cao” finally caught up with them. Surrounded by 10,000 troops, the Xiliang Army finally dropped their weapons. “I’m waiting to surrender, I’m waiting to surrender.”

    The prisoners in front were in a mess, Ah Sheng knelt down and returned to the carriage, folded the composite crossbow. Many years ago, she held this crossbow and confronted the eunuchs who came to attack at Cao Mansion in Luoyang. At that time, she was still a young girl, and she was overwhelmed in front of a middle-level eunuch; now, facing the brutal Xiliang army, she didn’t even sweat.

    The world has changed, and the heart has become cold and hard. But let bystanders see it is king and domineering. Xun Shuang and Cai Yong looked at each other and saw shock in each other’s eyes.

    A Sheng ignored the eyes of the old gentlemen. Now that the troubled times are on, some disguises can be discarded. The sun is so good, why curl up and live? She leaned back with her eyes closed and tapped lightly on her sore arm. After knocking for a long time, I heard Cao Cao’s reproachful voice from above: “You’re taking a risk again! Are you injured?”

    A Sheng raised his eyes lazily: “It’s just a sore hand.”

    Cao Cao leaned over and gave his sister a slap in the head, then sighed and squeezed her shoulders. “Didn’t you say you injured your right arm last time in Liaodong? Why did you take a crossbow again?”

    “The situation is urgent.” Ah Sheng laughed two dimples, and there was a little grievance in his words, “Three hundred infantry collided with a thousand iron cavalry, I might die if I don’t be tough.”

      “

    A Sheng covered the top of his head with his left hand: “Brother is going to chase Dong Zhuo? Don’t your subordinates need to rest? Yuan Shao and the others have also brought troops over, why not let them go? “

      Drilling! What are they at ease?”

    “Could it be that if you find the Imperial Jade Seal, you can become the emperor yourself?” Ah Sheng pretended to frown, “They don’t have the last name Liu.”

    “The news spreads so fast, who said that?”

    “When Dong Zhuo fled from Wenling, he left a group of wounded outside the city. The injuries were extremely tragic. If you still have medicinal materials, go and see.”

    A Sheng bowed his head: “Okay, I’ll take a look.”

    The Cao twins parted ways again. After Cao Cao gave the soldiers a feast, they set foot on the road of chasing the enemy. Cao Sheng brought people to Luoyang City to save people and rob books.

    It was two days later when Xu Rong woke up. What he saw when he opened his eyes was his own adjutant, wearing a single coat and iron, looking like a prisoner. Move again, my good fellow, he also has iron chains tied to his hands.

      “It’s just dinner time, and it’s still hot.”

    Smelling the aroma of the food, her stomach growled when she hadn’t eaten for two days. Xu Rong was not pretentious and swallowed the biscuit batter with a spoon.

    When he was eating, the adjutant was nagging. “General, who was the female monarch you met that day? Hey, Cao Amo’s daughter-in-law, no one dares to marry this shrew. The Cao family was afraid of embarrassment and let her live in Youzhou. After so many years, she has been kept secret. Airtight. Hey, tell me.”

    Xu Rong glared at his gossip adjutant: “Where are our people?”

    “Oh. They are helping Cao Nujun move books. There are dozens of cars.” The length of the chain on the adjutant’s hand is just right, and it does not affect the activity. Eat it in one bite. The food is pretty good, the same as what Cao Jun eats.”

    Xu Rong tried to stand up, but he really told him to stand up. The wound on the thigh has been bandaged, and there is no anesthetic effect, and the movement is free. They were originally in a small tent, and when they got out of the tent, two Cao soldiers came up: “The master said that the fire in the city is now tight. If General Xu is willing to help, she would be very grateful.”

    Xu Rong: What do you mean? Let me fight the fire? I’ve always been the one who set fire to it.

    The confused Xu Rong was dragged into the Luoyang fire, Lantai was already empty, and now the main target is the study of the great family Yang family. After rescuing dozens of bundles of bamboo slips with iron chains in his hands, the other half of Xu Rong’s beard was also burned off.

    Dong Zhuo who set fire to the fire is a big fool—beep—Xu Rong loves his beard, and he can’t even get a wife without a beard these days.

    Ten days later, the fire was finally put out. Another autumn rain fell in the sky, and the ground was covered in wet scorched ashes.

    A Sheng camped under the city wall, and a billboard with gold and silver for books was hung in front of the camp, which became a unique landscape in the coalition. The power of the masses is great, and she has really exchanged a lot of scraps.

    Cai Yong and Xun Shuang sighed: “When Emperor Gaozu of Han conquered Xianyang, all the officers and men were addicted to the treasures, wine and meat, only Xiao He blocked the Xiangfu to check the pictures and books. What your disciple is doing today is similar in effect. Wonderful.”

    Xun Shuang is famous for being good at Zhouyi and divination. As soon as these words came out, Cai Yong and Chong Fu, who were next to him, were shocked: “Ci Minggong means, is the big man really exhausted?”

    “The secret of heaven is not something that can be easily measured.” Xun Shuang put down the cup, “But vision, mind, and character, even people who don’t know how to calculate can see the difference.”

      Ripples blow up.

    The author has something to say: Xu Rong, a native of Liaodong, a general of Dong Zhuo. In history, he defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao successively during the Luoyang War. After Dong Zhuo’s death, he died in civil strife in the Xiliang army.
