Han Fu and Lü Xiang's defeated army returned to Cao Ren and reported: "The second general will be killed, and most of the sergeants will be captured alive." ”

Cao Ren was shocked and discussed countermeasures with Li Dian, Li Dian said: "The two generals deceived the enemy and died, and now it is only advisable to press the army, declare the lord, and send Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard to ride to conquer and suppress, which is the best policy." ”

Cao Chun is the commander of Cao Cao's elite iron cavalry, tiger and leopard cavalry, and is also Cao Ren's younger brother. Cao Chun had led the tiger and leopard cavalry to defeat Liu Bei several times, and Cao Ren did not want Cao Chun to make any more military exploits, so that he was proud of his achievements.

Cao Ren waved his hand and said, "No." Now the second general was killed, and many military horses were broken, and this revenge must be avenged. The Yellow Turban Thief in Runan, He Laozi and come? ”

Li Dian said: "Liu Bei is also a masterpiece, and with Chen Wu's help, it should not be taken lightly. ”

Cao Ren smiled: "Why is Man so cowardly! ”

Li Dian said: "The Art of War: 'Know your opponent and know your friend, and win all battles.'" 'It's not a cowardice, but I'm afraid it can't be won. ”

Cao Ren said angrily: "Man Cheng, do you have two hearts? I will want to capture Liu Bei alive! ”

Li Dian said: "If the general goes, he will guard Yingchuan." ”

Cao Ren glared at Li Dian and said, "If you don't go, you really have two hearts!" ”

Li Dian had no choice but to gather 10,000 troops and horses with Cao Ren and come straight to Dingying.

Cao Ren's army passed through Linying, and the guard general Wang Zhi led his troops out to greet him, Wang Zhi said: "General Cao Ren, I and Han Fu are relatives, and Han Fu was killed by Liu Beijun." I, Wang Zhi, am willing to lead 3,000 men and horses to go with the general to conquer Liu Bei! ”

Cao Ren was overjoyed and said: "Hahaha, with the help of General Wang Zhi, I will definitely set foot in Runan and take the heads of Liu Bei, Liu Pi, and Gongdu!" ”

Exploring the horse to report, the front found the sentry sent by Guan Yu, Li Dian said to Cao Ren: "General, Guan Yu guards the Summoning Mausoleum, and Liu Bei is in a fight, you can break Guan Yu first." ”

According to the plan, Cao Ren led more than 10,000 people and horses to the Eastern Dynasty to summon the tomb to kill, Cao Ren shouted in front of the battle: "Guan Yu, Cao Gong treats you well, why did you leave privately?" ”

Guan Yu looked at Cao Ren with cold eyebrows: "My brother is here, I will definitely come to vote!" ”

Cao Ren looked around behind him and said, "Who can catch me?" ”

Cao Ren looked at Wang Zhi, who heard that Guan Yu was brave and did not dare to fight. The tooth general Meng Tan said to Wang Zhi: "The general can go out first, and when Guan Yu arrives, the young general will get on his horse and fight him, feign defeat and lure him to chase, and the general can shoot him with a hidden arrow." ”

Wang Zhi led a team of soldiers and horses to the front of the battle, and scolded Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Guan Yu was annoyed and ashamed and instigated the Red Rabbit Ma to kill with a knife. Wang Zhi's side, Meng Tan stepped out of the horse and picked up his double knives to take Guan Yu.

Guan Gong asked Pei Yuanshao and others to sweep the battle for him, and he came to greet him with a single sword. Meng Tan's double knives were able to block Guan Yu's several knives, and Meng Tan relied on luck and dodge to fight with Guan Yu for less than three times, and then turned back the horse and left.

Guan Yu hurriedly instigated the red rabbit horse to come. Meng Tan only hoped to lure Guan Yu, and didn't want Guan Yu to be fast, so he had already caught up, and with just one knife, he cut Meng Tan into two pieces. Guan Yu came back, Wang Zhi was on the formation, and he tried his best to release an arrow towards Guan Yu, and shot Guan Yu in the left arm.

Guan Yu bit out the arrow with his teeth, the blood couldn't flow, and the flying horse went straight to Wang Zhi. The red rabbit horse neighed, and Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to cover several Cao cavalry, and after killing a few people, he continued to scatter the army.

Wang Zhi hurriedly fled, but it was too late, Guan Yu raised his knife and fell, took Wang Zhi on the shoulder, and slashed him under the horse. Seeing this, Cao Ren hurriedly asked Li Dian to lead the army to besiege Guan Yu, and Pei Yuanshao and other young generals also led Guan Yu's subordinates to help in the battle.

Cao Ren's side was a trained regular army, although most of them were the troops in charge of Tuntian in peacetime, but their fighting quality was also stronger than that of the soldiers of the old Yellow Turbans who were scattered and brave.

Pei Yuanshao was born with stiff ribs and beard, and with a tiger-headed sword, he rushed into the battle to rescue Guan Yu and killed more than a dozen Cao soldiers. Pei Yuanshao hurriedly said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, go quickly!" ”

Pei Yuanshao raised his knife to stop several spearmen who rushed over, Guan Yu relied on the red rabbit horse to escape quickly, and Cao Ren's rear army continued to advance. Guan Yu's subordinate sergeants were killed to the point that there was not much left, and when Pei Yuanshao was recruited by Guan Hai, he heard about Guan Yu's loyalty and integrity, and voluntarily threw himself under Guan Yu's account.

Guan Yu broke the yellow scarf with Liu Bei and defeated Guan Hai, and later beheaded Wang Fang and Dou Lu Bu in the Tiger Prison, and protected his sister-in-law for thousands of miles to find his brother, it can be said that Guan Yu is his idol. As an avid fan, Bae Won-shao finally realized his dream of dedicating himself to his idol. Pei Yuanshao was surrounded by a brigade of spearmen led by Li Dian, and rows of spears stabbed from all sides, stabbing Pei Yuanshao into a twist, and bleeding nonstop.

Guan Yu fled back to Dingying, saying that he had lost Zhaoling and broken Pei Yuanshao, and everyone was saddened.

Cao Ren marched with drums, and arrived at the foot of Dingying City the next day, and laid out a formation after stabilizing the corners. Liu Bei saw it in the city, slightly surprised, Guan Yu bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Big brother, Pei Yuanshao died to save me." Please ask my eldest brother to allow me 3,000 elite soldiers, and watch me rush into the battle to take Cao Ren's head and pay tribute to Pei Yuanshao. ”

Guan Yu turned around to go down to the city to reorganize the army, Liu Bei stopped Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, your arrow wound has not healed." Let's go back first to recuperate from my wounds, I will make Chen Zhi lead Bai Yu's troops to charge into battle, and General Chen Wu and I will meet Chen Zhi in the city. ”

Chen Wu looked at the military formation laid out by Cao Ren and said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, I don't know the formation. This time it looks dangerous, you must let General Chen Zhi be careful! It's a pity that my eldest brother Han Xuan is not here, if he is here, he may be able to break this formation. ”

"Oh? Chu Hou is also proficient in formations? Liu Bei asked, Guan Yu glanced at Chen Wu, and went down with a cold snort.

Cao Ren stood on the high platform of the Chinese army and looked down on the whole army, commanding thousands of troops and horses, quite the style of a famous general in ancient times. The drummers beat drums on both sides to boost morale, the chariots were escorted on both wings, and more than 10,000 military horses were lined up on all sides.

Li Dian scolded the battle in the front army, and suddenly the city gate was opened, and Chen Zhi led 500 Bai Yu soldiers and 2,000 elites under Liu Bei to rush out to meet the battle. Chen Zhi raised his gun, pushed away the iron mask on his face, pointed at Li Dian and shouted: "I am Runan Chen to Chen Shuzhi, and I will dare to fight with me when I come!" ”

Li Dian saw that Chen Zhi was very young, and he also used guns, he was originally a general who was promoted to the rank of spear captain, and his marksmanship was naturally proficient. Li Dian rode his horse towards Chen Zhi to kill, and the two generals clashed, and at the beginning, Li Dian could easily deal with Chen Zhi's spear stabbed again and again.

The two of them fought back and forth on the battlefield, and Chen Zhi shot Li Dian to the waist, and Li Dian almost couldn't stop him with a gun. Li Dian gradually felt a little unable to cope with it, and after fifteen fights, the hand holding the gun was a little weak, and Li Dian had to turn his horse back to the battle.

Liu Bei in the city saw it and said with great joy: "Okay! Li Dian was defeated, but he could wave his army to cover the past. ”

"Kill!" Chen Zhi urged the horse to raise his gun and led his troops to chase and kill Li Dian. The white soldiers killed Li Dian's spearmen and fled, and Li Dian did not dare to look back, for fear of being caught up by Chen Zhi.

In the battle, Cao Renwang saw that Chen Zhi led his troops to the middle of the formation, and said to the herald on the side: "Herald, change the formation." ”

As soon as the herald waved the command flag, the soldiers and horses in all parts of the formation began to move, and from afar they saw that there were a forest of guns and halberds inside, and the blades were so sharp that they shone blindingly in the sunlight.

The infantry and cavalry went around together, giving Li Dian the opportunity to run back to the formation. Chen Zhi took the lead in chasing into the formation, but saw the yellow sand rising inside, and the situation in the formation was not real, where was the shadow of Li Dian.

Li Dian was also taken aback when he saw this big array under Cao Renbu, he had never seen this array, but just looking at the unpredictable changes in it, he also knew that this array was infinitely powerful.

Cao Ren hurriedly asked him to come out, and Chen Zhi led his troops into the battle, only to see groups of soldiers moving back and forth, and they couldn't figure out their traces. Chen Zhi's troops were separated, and hundreds of Cao army spearmen held their spears and pointed their guns towards Chen Zhi to show off Yang Wei.

Chen Zhi saw a gap in the battle, and led more than 100 Bai Yu soldiers to rush over, Chen Wu saw that there were obviously heavy troops blocking it in the city, but he saw Chen Zhi leading his troops to kill himself.

"Slow! Don't go over. Chen Wu shouted at Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi was far away, where could he hear his voice, and rushed directly into it, but he fell into a heavy siege. The authorities were confused, the bystanders were clear, Chen Zhi was confused by all kinds of seemingly exiting places in the battle, and most of the soldiers under his command died in battle.
