Chapter 79: Charging Alone
Cao Cao's army was in the main formation, and Cao Cao sat on the frame of the Son of Heaven and watched the siege.
The frame of the Son of Heaven was a temporary car given to Cao Cao by the Son of Heaven when Yuan Shu was being recruited. It's just that after Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, he seemed to have forgotten to return the frame of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven seemed to have forgotten to ask for it, so he has been borrowing it until now.
This time he sent troops to Xuzhou, Cao Cao was furious.
In vain, he was so reluctant to kill Liu Bei, but in the end he still raised tigers for trouble.
Fortunately, although Yuan Shao released an article and was ready to fight with him Cao **, it was not a top priority.
After all, Yuan Shao dispatched troops, collected grain and grass, and built weapons and armor, which could not be completed in a short period of time.
And this time is the time when he Cao Cao completely relieved his worries.
Fortunately, when Chen Deng was left in Xuzhou, he still cheated Liu Bei.
It's just that at the moment, Liu Bei is sticking to Xiapi, and he actually uses all the lineage, which is not good for stealing the city, so he can only attack hard.
Moreover, the lack of food and grass has always been a factor for him Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao did not dare to delay for a long time; Two days after arriving at the city of Xiapi, Cao Cao finally made up his mind to attack the city regardless of losses.
Looking at the siege, you might as well go in the direction of Xuzhou behind you, but there was a horn sound.
It was a warning from the Sentinels.
Cao Cao turned to look, only to see a person fighting with the sentry riders at the edge of the woods in the distance.
However, it seems that none of the sentry riders under his command are opponents of that guy?
Cao Cao waved his hand, and a battalion of cavalry came out of the rear team and surrounded and killed the man.
And Cao Cao no longer paid attention.
In his mind, even a Condensing Gang Realm martial artist couldn't stop the siege of hundreds of horsemen, right?
But the reality gave Cao Cao a slap in the face.
Cao Cao had just turned around and continued to watch the siege, but the sound of the horn behind him continued to sound. Hundreds of cavalry couldn't stop just one person, and after a battalion of cavalry was killed by him, they actually came to the main formation of the army.
Is this death, or is the ignorant fearless?
This time, there was no need for Cao Cao to wave his hand, and the infantry troops in the rear were all surrounded and killed.
A layer of heavy shields and a layer of spears, ten layers of defense were laid in a row, and this formation was exactly what resisted the impact of the martial artists of the Condensing Gang Realm. After these ten layers of defense, thousands of crossbowmen stretched their bows and waited, and the arrows pointed obliquely into the sky, just waiting for an order, and the arrows rained like flying.
On the left and right flanks, there was a battalion of infantry soldiers, which was preparing to take the back road and completely surround and kill that person.
……
Facing the endless shield array and spear array, Zhao Yun was not afraid.
Seeing a rain of arrows covering him, the spear in Zhao Yun's hand flew, the silver light spilled, the brilliance became a ball, and all the arrows were knocked away. After two rounds of arrow rain, Zhao Yun had already approached the rear of Cao's army; Of course, it was the layers of shields and guns that greeted him.
At this time, Cao Jun's crossbowmen could no longer release their arrows.
"Open it for me!"
Zhao Yun shouted, and the spear instantly slashed into a semicircle, and a half-moon-shaped light instantly penetrated several layers of shield arrays. Heavy shields, heavy shield soldiers, pikemen, in an instant, hundreds of people were cut in half, broken shields, and Cao soldiers who were cut into two sections, pounced on the ground, many people did not die immediately, lying on the ground and wailing in disbelief.
This kind of tragic situation is very demoralizing. The Cao army gathered around, and the ones in front of them hesitated, not daring to step forward, but the ones behind pushed and squeezed, as if they really wanted to surround and kill.
Zhao Yun didn't care about these Cao Jun.
The war horse was still impacting, and along the gap that was cut open, Zhao Yun instantly smashed into the shield array.
The spears swept away, and the spears that stretched out behind the shields were all picked up; Seeing that he was about to hit a layer of shield array, Zhao Yun's spear stabbed straight ahead, and the heavy shield in front of him was immediately pierced, and the shield soldiers and pikemen behind the heavy shield were also strung together with the town.
Another gap in the shield array was opened.
Soon, the ten-layer shield array and the ten-layer spear array were all killed by Zhao Yun. The spear was dripping blood, the white battle robe was stained with blood, and even the war horse was scarred and overwhelmed, Zhao Yun was actually very tired at this time, and there were some small wounds on his body.
At this time, the Cao army's foot soldiers, who were originally outflanked from both flanks, and the Cao army's cavalry that pursued behind, were beyond their reach.
In front of Zhao Yun's eyes, there was only one crossbowman phalanx left.
Behind the crossbowman phalanx, there is Cao Cao's Chinese army's main formation, and the frame of the Son of Heaven that Cao Cao is riding can be seen.
The horses were overwhelmed, but they did not slow down, and crashed headlong into the phalanx of crossbowmen.
……
Cao Cao's army was in the main formation, and Cao Cao was a little angry at this time.
Tens of thousands of infantry troops, thousands of crossbowmen, and thousands of cavalry couldn't intercept just one person.
Of course, the most important thing is that Cao Cao's Chinese army did not have many soldiers and horses. According to the awesomeness of the general, the guards around him are probably not enough for that guy to kill. Fortunately, Xu Chu was guarding by his side, otherwise, Cao Cao would have run away long ago.
"This is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, right?" Cao Cao stood at the wheel of the car and asked.
Liu Bei has three fierce generals, this Cao Cao knows, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's awesomeness, Cao Cao also saw it when he was in the Tiger Prison, only Zhao Yun, although he also has many achievements, but he has always been inconspicuous.
Now, Cao Cao can be regarded as knowing that Zhao Yun is also so fierce.
It's just that the current result seems to be a bit more expensive.
"Alas, why is Liu Bei's life so good?!" At this moment, Cao Cao was a little envious and jealous of Liu Bei.
"Wait a minute, the last general will go and kill Zhao Yun!"
Xu Chu was beside him, and when he heard the envious tone of the lord, he was a little unconvinced, so he asked Zhandao.
"General Xu is slow, the general must protect the lord and the lord thoroughly, it is better for us to resist Zhao Yun for a while!" Cao Ren blocked.
Xu Chu's combat effectiveness, Cao Ren knows, maybe, Xu Chu can defeat Zhao Yun, or maybe not.
However, if Xu Chu is dispatched, in case he can't intercept it, Zhao Yun bypasses or rushes past Xu Chu's interception and rushes to the lord's side. Therefore, Xu Chu can only guard the lord's side, in case Zhao Yun rushes over, Xu Chu can still cover the lord's retreat, right?
Cao Ren thought to himself, he, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao might not be able to fight Zhao Yun, but it shouldn't be a problem to intercept them for a while, right?
……
Xiapi, at the city wall, the battle to defend the city is raging.
Xiapi City was already short, and the tidal wave of Cao troops rushed over, and soon exhausted all kinds of garrison materials on the city wall.
At the moment, the battle has reached its most critical moment. The Cao army on the ladder is competing with the defenders on the city wall. As long as Cao's army breaks through to the city wall, the city will not be far away.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu ran back and forth on the city wall, and wherever they were breached, they were there.
The screams were endless, the corpses were overlapped, Cao Jun was killed and wounded, and Liu Beijun had little left.
Five thousand people, even if they defend the city, they can't withstand the consumption for long.
The city is broken, and it seems to be close at hand.
