Huaying was desperate at this moment, she was about to close her eyes and wait for death.

At this critical moment, she saw a slender figure standing in front of her.

Cao Chaoyun's fingers flew like flying, and he pointed at the assassin's sword.

"Crack!"

The bronze sword snapped at the sound.

Before the assassin could react, Cao Chao rushed in front of him, tapped two fingers, and immediately knocked the enemy to the ground.

It wasn't until Cao Chao subdued the assassin with his hands that everyone present recovered and cheered.

Unexpectedly, the genius doctor of Mu Na was actually a master, and his morale was boosted for a while, and he was more confident in the next battle.

A scent wafted over, and Hua Ying quickly walked to Cao Chao's side, and bowed respectfully.

"Thanks to Mr. for saving me, the little girl is very grateful."

Cao Chao supported him with one hand, and said calmly.

"It's a little effort, Huaying girl, you don't need to be polite."

Huaying bit her red lips lightly, wanting to have a few more words with Cao Chao, but knowing that now was not the time, she could only resist the impulse in her heart, and turned to look at Cheng Qian.

"General Cheng, detain this man and torture him severely."

"promise!"

However, just as Cheng Qian was about to turn around, he was stopped by Cao Chao.

"No need, the assassin has already committed suicide by taking poison!"

As soon as these words came out, Huaying and Cheng Qian's expressions changed at the same time, they walked up to the assassin and took off the black cloth from each other's head.

Sure enough, there was a line of black bloodstains at the corner of the assassin's mouth, and he was already dead.

"This person is not in our army!" Cheng Qian shook his head and said after looking at this person carefully.

Huaying gritted her teeth and said:

"The assassin must have taken the opportunity to infiltrate the army to assassinate, but I didn't expect this person to be so decisive that he would take poison and commit suicide if he failed in his mission.

Now that the person is dead, the clues are cut off.

This matter had no choice but to let it go, but a dark cloud had shrouded everyone's hearts.

To send dead soldiers to assassinate, the forces behind it must be far from simple.

But who wants to assassinate Huaying?

Chapter 380

Hundreds of people worked hard for four full days and finally completed the fortifications.

Moreover, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire, a ditch was dug to introduce spring water from the back mountain into the camp.

One day Cao Chao was practicing in the tent, so a guard came to invite him in a hurry, saying that Manager Huaying had summoned him.

Seeing that the opponent was so anxious, Cao Chao guessed that the enemy was coming.

Sure enough, as soon as Huaying met, she told a shocking news.

"The spies reported that there are thousands of people coming from fifty miles away."

Huaying said worriedly.

There are only a hundred people capable of fighting on one's own side, and thousands of people on the other side.

With one against ten, how can we fight this battle?

Cao Chao suddenly realized that the enemy must have discovered that they had changed their ways, and finally couldn't help but attack them head-on.

At this time, it is no longer appropriate to hide clumsiness, Cao Chao bowed his head and thought for a while, then said lightly,

"To deploy thousands of troops under the noses of the Qin people, the enemy must have paid a heavy price."

"Sir, what do you mean..." Huaying asked thoughtfully.

"In order not to be discovered by the Qin people, the enemy must be thinking of a quick battle. We can take advantage of the other party's mentality and take the opportunity to sneak attack!"

Cheng Qian, who was on the side, said in amazement: "Our army is not strong enough, how can we take the initiative to attack, what is the difference between that and courting death?"

Cao Chao knew that he was timid when he saw that the enemy was powerful and ten times stronger than himself.

Looking at Huaying again, he found that the other party's face also showed an incredible look, so he said:

"General Cheng's words are wrong. The enemy is exhausted from afar, and our army has rested for four days to rest and wait for work;

"The enemy is eager to win and violated the taboo of military strategists, while our army is fighting steadily, standing firm and waiting for reinforcements.

"With these two points, although there are many enemies, there is nothing to worry about!"

After Huaying listened, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Sir, do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Cao Chao shook his head and chuckled:

"Sun Tzu says that a soldier's image is water; in the shape of water, he avoids heights and goes down; in the shape of a soldier, he avoids the real and strikes the weak.

"Water controls the flow because of the ground, and soldiers win because of the enemy.

"Therefore soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape; those who can win the victory according to the changes of the enemy are called gods.

"The battlefield is ever-changing, how can one think of a plan in advance, only play by ear on the battlefield."

"However, I can assure you that as long as our army can withstand the enemy's first attack and hold on for three or four days, I can assure you that the enemy will get angry and show their flaws!"

"At that time, we can take advantage of the enemy's flaws and knock them back!"

Huaying nodded slightly when she heard the words, and looked at Cao Chao with admiration.

Unexpectedly, in the face of such a disadvantage, this man can still face danger without fear, and analyze the situation calmly, which is indeed not easy.

After what Cao Chao said, Huaying finally regained her confidence.

However, just as she was about to say something, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the tent.

"Qi report to Manager Hua and General Cheng, the enemy army is coming!"

When the three of them heard this, they quickly walked out of the tent.

Under the hillside, there was darkness.

The enemy army surrounded the entire hillside tightly.

Seeing the enemy's strength, our own soldiers all changed their faces.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, drums sounded from the foot of the mountain, and countless enemy troops rushed to the hillside.

Cao Chao murmured in his heart, he didn't expect these people to be so anxious, they didn't even want to take a rest, and wanted to attack hard with the advantage of numbers.

After cursing inwardly for being stupid, Cao Chao took a strong bow, bent the bow and set an arrow, and shot down the mountain.

The bowstring sounded, and the arrow was as fast as a shooting star, shooting the leader of the enemy army to the ground after more than 500 steps.

Huaying looked at Cao Chao with surprise on her face, she didn't expect Cao Chao's archery skills to be so good.

A strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes, she found that this man was like a treasure, and he would give her some surprises from time to time.

Seeing this, our own soldiers cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.

The enemy started to commotion. It turned out that the one who was shot to death just now was the enemy's vanguard general.

I didn't expect this to be so embarrassing.

Although someone soon replaced the vanguard and led the people behind them to continue charging, but the morale of these people was obviously severely hit, and the pace of advancement became less resolute.

After finally rushing to the front of the formation, the flower shadow on the mountain gave an order, and the soldiers released their arrows together, and all arrows were fired at once.

Landing in the enemy formation, there was a wailing sound immediately.

It turned out that these people came in a hurry and had no shields at all. They wanted to take advantage of the numbers to charge, but were blocked by the pre-arranged ditches, spikes and other things, so they became the target of the opponent.

For a while, the sound of wailing was endless, and the ground was stained red with blood.

Finally, Yamashita couldn't hold back anymore and started calling for gold.

The morale of the enemy troops who were in charge of the charge was already low. When they heard the sound of gold from the bottom of the mountain, they couldn't even maintain their formation and scrambled to retreat down the mountain.

The retreat directly turned into a rout, and in the end nearly two hundred corpses were left to escape.

Seeing that the enemy finally retreated here, the soldiers emerged from the fortifications one after another, cheering loudly.

Everyone moved closer to where Cao Chao was.

If Cao Chao hadn't killed the enemy's vanguard general with one arrow and frightened the enemy army, how could they have won this battle so easily and repelled the enemy without even one person dying.

The army has always worshiped the strong, so the soldiers looked at Cao Chao with admiration at this moment.

Cao Chao, on the other hand, was calm and composed. He returned to the tent under the adoring eyes of everyone, but suddenly found a weak figure in the tent, and he was shocked.

"It's you?"

Chapter 381 was attacked

In the camp, Mi Hua, the princess of Chu who had been hiding in the carriage, led two maids to guard here.

Cao Chao didn't know the other party's intention, so he asked tentatively

"Why did the princess come here without knowing why?"

Mi Hua blushed slightly, waved away the maid, and said shyly, "Zhang San, can Mi Hua borrow something from you?"

Cao Chao wondered, "What do you want to borrow?"

Mi Hua suddenly stretched out a small hand as white as jade, and said softly: "Mi Hua wants to borrow your personal dagger."

Cao Chao's heart trembled, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Princess, don't worry, our army will win this battle!"
