    After Liu Ke brought the giant stone cannon into the world, the siege battle that had suffered heavy losses instantly became easier.

    Especially in a small county like Wangyuan, the city wall is made entirely of rammed earth and cannot withstand the impact of huge rocks.

    Therefore, in less than half an hour, several holes were opened in the city wall by huge stone cannons.

    Cao Ren quickly ordered the defenders to stop him, but at this moment Zhang He used his divine arm crossbow again.

    The huge bed crossbow shoots an arrow shaft as high as a person, and each time it has to penetrate many people before it stops.

    Cao Jun, who was guarding the fracture with a giant shield in hand, was mostly destroyed by the divine arm crossbow in an instant.

    The rest were all frightened and dared not come near again.

    As a result, those fractures instantly fell into a state of unpreparedness.

    Zhang He immediately led the cavalry to charge forward and occupied the place in just a short time.

    Then the infantry followed and rushed into the city. The enemy troops retreated steadily, and Wangyuan was finally completely occupied by Zhang He.

    With only 500 men left, Cao Ren rushed out from the south gate and fled towards Shanggui City.

    However, after Cao Ren escaped from the bottom of Bei Valley last time, Zhang He became more cautious.

    At the beginning of his attack, he ordered Zhang Xiong to lead five thousand troops and lie in ambush on a mountain ten miles south of the city.

    From Wangyuan to Shanggui, there is a mountain ridge running across it.

    Although this mountain is a remnant of the Qinling Mountains, it is tall and the road is rugged, making it difficult to browse easily.

    If you want to pass through, only one of the recesses is relatively flat, making it the only road to Shanggui.

    Zhang Xiongjiu followed his father for a long time, and his ability to observe the ground and sights was also honed.

    So I took a fancy to this terrain as soon as I arrived, and immediately placed the ambush here.

    Cao Ren and Cao Tai, their father and son, took their remaining 500 soldiers and fled south desperately.

    Fortunately, Cao Ren left in time. Zhang He was still cleaning up the mess in the city and did not notice their escape.

    So after dealing with the ordinary pursuers, Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Father, we will reach the outside of Shanggui City after passing the front. We will be safe when we get there!"

    Cao Tai pointed to the passage in front and said excitedly.

    However, before they were happy for a long time, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them, led by Zhang Xiong.

    "Hahahaha! Cao Ren, you can't leave!"

    Zhang Xiong laughed and led his troops out, heading straight for Cao Ren.

    Seeing the sudden appearance of the ambush, Cao Ren was horrified, but at this moment, when they meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.

    Only by fighting to the death can we find a way out.

    Therefore, although Cao Ren's troops were small, he did not flinch and led everyone to charge forward.

    The two armies collided instantly, and both sides were desperate to survive.

    But the gap in military strength between Cao Ren and Zhang Xiong is really too big.

    Although he was not afraid of death, he could not hold on for long.

    Within a short time, only a few dozen people were killed.

    These people connected with Cao Ren and his son and were surrounded by Zhang Xiong's army.

    Zhang Xiong looked at the other party and advised: "General Cao Ren, you have no way to escape now. If you continue to struggle, you will only increase casualties.

    If you could surrender, you would definitely save the lives of these people in front of you.  For their safety, I hope you will consider it carefully!  "

    Cao Ren looked sad at this moment. He looked around and looked at the only people left in front of him. Almost everyone was injured.

    Cao Ren sighed: "Sirs, it is my incompetence that has caused you to follow me through life and death. I am the only one to blame for all this.

    "But I, Cao Ren, can only die standing up, how can I live on my knees?"  Don't worry about me for a while, just surrender to the other side, and I will deal with it myself.  "

    Before the soldiers could react, Cao Ren suddenly held his sword across his neck, intending to kill himself.

    "Father, don't want it!" Upon seeing this, Cao Tai shouted to stop it.

    But since he and Cao Ren were at one end and the other at the other end, it would be too late even if they rushed forward.

    In fact, this is not the first time that Cao Ren wanted to commit suicide by killing himself.

    The earliest time was when Yangcheng was attacked by Ma Chao, but he was stopped by his men and taken to Jieting.

    The second is the time when he was caught in Zhang He's trap at the bottom of Bei Valley. If Cao Tai hadn't come to the rescue in time, he might have killed himself.

    Every time Cao Ren lost his troops, he knew he would never see him again.King.

    Now that he was trapped in a trap again, the long-suppressed thoughts in Cao Ren's heart came out again.

    He has made up his mind and no one can stop him.

    Then Cao Ren became cruel and wanted to cut it off.

    "Ding!"

    Suddenly a crisp sound came, and everyone looked again, and saw that the sword in Cao Ren's hand had fallen to the ground.

    Next to the sword, there was an arrow that flew from nowhere. It was probably its appearance that prevented Cao Ren from committing suicide.

    The arrow seemed to fall from the sky, appearing very suddenly.

    However, the power was so great that Cao Ren's wrists are still a little sore and numb.

    It wasn¡¯t until he looked around that he finally heard a voice from afar.

    "General Cao committed suicide like this. Is this what a man would do?"

    When the voice fell, a figure had already arrived in front of the formation. When Cao Ren saw it, he frowned instantly.

    "Zhang He, this general has been defeated. Kill or behead him, it's up to you. Do you still want to be humiliated?"

    It turned out that it was Zhang He who had just fired an arrow at the critical moment to prevent Cao Ren from committing suicide.

    In fact, he had been paying attention to Cao Ren's movements as early as the siege.

    When the other party escaped from the city, Zhang He had already seen it.

    In order to paralyze Cao Ren, he did not catch up immediately.

    But not long after Cao Ren set off, he immediately followed him here, just in time to catch up with Cao Ren who was about to commit suicide.

    Cao Ren was very dissatisfied with Zhang He's blocking. In his opinion, the other party must want to humiliate him.

    It¡¯s just that this time he misunderstood Zhang He.

    Although it is a great achievement to capture a general of Cao Ren's level alive.

    But for Zhang He, what matters is not merit, but the value of Cao Ren himself.

    So he said truthfully: "General Cao Ren, I admire you very much for your strength. This defeat is not the fault of the general.

    "It's because Cao Cao, Cao Pi and his son betrayed the emperor and rebelled against heaven, which had already attracted the dissatisfaction of heaven.

    Naturally, he will not be protected, and defeat will become a matter of course.  With your talents, if I can serve under His Majesty.

    You will definitely show greater strength, why do you want to do this to yourself?  "

    What Zhang He said makes sense. At least it has touched Cao Tai's psychology.

    It¡¯s just that Cao Ren has always been loyal to Cao Cao, so he will definitely not be touched by him for a while.

    However, after hearing these words, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he seemed to have listened.

    When Cao Ren and others were touched, Zhang He also led his troops to approach and finally captured everyone.

    Then he said: "General Yuan Rang is also a guest in Chencang now. If the general doesn't dislike it, you can go there to keep him company!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
