At this moment, the night was deep, and the sky was full of wind and snow.

After a hearty victory during the day, the tense nerves of the Bingzhou Army guarding Chang'an City had been relaxed a lot.

Song Xian even brought With a jar of wine, he found a secluded place on top of the city tower and drank heavily.

Cao Xing, who was watching the night, glanced at it. The pungent smell of wine made him a little unhappy, so he quickly reminded,

"General Song, beware of the Xiliang Army's night attack!"

Song Xian said quite complacently,

"What is there to be wary of? Chang'an City is guarded by crossbows and us, and all the Liangzhou Barbarians' Flying Bear Army are dead. What qualifications do they have to take Chang'an City away?"

"Tell you... I tell you, Master Fengxian has promised me that I have made great contributions in this battle. After the war, he will make me General Anxi, and... he will also give me a pavilion... Tinghou!"

Cao Xing shook his head. This guy was already drunk.

He said to a soldier,

"He ordered the city walls to be set up with torches, and every half hour, light the crossbow arrows and launch them with the bed crossbow to see what happened!"

"yes!"

After explaining this, Cao Xing also went down to rest.

It's not that he was as big as Song Xian, but the power of this crossbow was beyond what he thought. Fortunately, there are dozens of these crossbows in the Chang'an arsenal. Damn it,

Cao Xing held on to his bed crossbow in the battles in the past few days. Even though hundreds of his strong archers were killed, he was reluctant to take it out, just to force out the Flying Bear Army, the trump card of the Xiliang Army today. , and finally use the bed crossbow to determine the outcome.

Besides, even if the Xiliang Army can capture the outer city today, there is still the trapped camp of General Gao Shun in the inner city and the elite cavalry commanded by General Zhang Liao.

The Xiliang Army will definitely not have any victory. Possibility!

With such relaxed thoughts, Cao Xing also fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Cao Xing, who was resting in the military camp in the outer city, seemed to hear a few birdsong in his sleep

"Cuckoo...cuckoo……"

As a sharp archer who could pierce the Yangtze with hundreds of steps, Cao Xing's hearing was extremely sensitive.

Even in his sleep, he suddenly woke up and shouted,

"Why are there birds chirping in the inner city?"

Cao Xing's keen hearing was actually able to determine that the cuckoo's sound was two miles away in the direction of the inner city! The soldiers on the left and right were also a little sleepy at this time, and they replied without thinking carefully,

"Report back to the general, maybe the birds flying out of the West Garden of the Imperial Palace are chirping in the inner city.……"

Cao Xing nodded, but suddenly, the instinct of life and death that he had been walking on the tip of a knife for many years suddenly woke him up!

He shouted sternly,"This is the cuckoo's call. It only sounds when the fields are plowed in the spring. How could it appear in this winter season!"

Cao Xing picked up the iron bow beside the bed and rushed out of the tent with a sudden stride. ,

"broken! Could it be that someone from Xiliang had sneaked into Chang'an City?"

In an instant, in the direction of the inner city, more than a dozen fires shot up from the ground, lighting up half of the snowy night sky in the blink of an eye!

"quick! Beat the war drum!"

"Remind Song Xian on the city wall to beware of the Xiliang army attacking the city from the west!"

Cao Xing got on his horse and fired up a team of strong archers who had gathered in a hurry.

"There must be someone from the Xiliang Army setting fire to the inner city!"

"I want you to go to a high place, and if you find any suspicious people rushing out of the inner city and trying to join forces with the Xiliang army outside the city, shoot them all!"

"yes!"

These strong archers took action one after another.

Cao Xing himself took a deep breath and said,

"There are actually generals in the Xiliang army who can carry out such tactics. Could it be that the poisonous warrior Li Ru is the commander?"

"wrong! It’s my lord who is in command!"

A gloomy voice sounded next to Cao Xing.

Even though he was in his own military camp, he still felt that in the darkness, at least a dozen murderous auras had locked onto him.

Cao Xing remained calm. Holding an arrow, he suddenly turned his head and pointed his bow in the direction where he just spoke in the darkness.

"who!"

But the one who answered him was Xu Rong who was sneaking.

A short blade was pulled out by Xu Rong. An imperceptible sword light flashed by. The next moment, the feather arrow in Cao Xing's hand had no arrowhead.

"Be bold!"

Cao Xing was furious. With his arm strength, even without arrows, he could still use the penetrating stone!

But the other secret guards would not give Cao Xing a second chance.

The same dozen sword lights flashed past, and on horseback Cao Xing had been stabbed several times, and with a look of unwillingness in his eyes, he fell heavily under the horse.

Xu Rong stepped forward, skillfully reached out and touched Cao Xing's aorta, and found that the other party was already dead.

Then he took a breath and said,

"Well, there is still one Song Xian left, and this outer city of Chang'an City belongs to the Lord!"
