"Lord, Cao Ren will lead the army to battle!" When it was less than ten miles away from Cao Ren's camp, the scouts who had been scattered before reported back to Liu Bei with some unexpected news.

"Is Cao Ren crazy? How dare he hold back 80,000 of us with 20,000 men in the wilderness? "It was everyone's immediate reaction." Zilong, Shu Zhi held the rear army, Zijing stabilized the Chinese army, and Yi De Botao went with me to take a look. Liu Bei reacted quickly, and then made a relatively safe decision.

"No!" Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei responded in unison, and then each led his troops and horses to follow Liu Bei to meet the enemy.

"Liu Yuanjun, it's been a long time!" From a distance, I saw Cao Ren taking the lead. "It's easy to say, since General Cao personally went out, he must be going to fight to the death with us?" Liu Bei also replied while returning the salute, Zhang Fei on the side was already gearing up, and when Cao Ren nodded, he stepped forward to fight.

"Liu Yuanjun's words are serious!" Cao Ren blushed and said: "General Zhang and General Zhao are both fierce generals in the world, how dare I, Cao Ren, be so self-conscious." ”

"Then General Cao is here to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" Zhao Feng suddenly said, which immediately provoked Zhang Fei and the others to laugh.

"Naturally not, Liu Yuanjun, I, Cao Ren, don't want to say anything nonsense. Now I have set up this big array, as long as Liu Yuanjun can break it, he can go to Peiguo unimpeded. After Cao Ren finished speaking, he then turned his horse's head back to the formation, and the more than 10,000 soldiers behind him arranged and operated separately under the command of the two generals, forming a military formation.

"What kind of formation is this?" Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei were both wide-eyed. After Zhao Feng came to this world, he also asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei if there was a military formation in this world, but he had a very deep image of the divine formation in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Especially Zhuge Liang's eight-array diagram, dozens of broken stones trapped Lu Xun.

According to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there is indeed a formation, but it is not so mysterious. Generally speaking, the formation is to divide the large force into more flexible small units, and strengthen the cooperation between the units during the battle, so as to be able to fight more and less against the enemy in a local area, so as to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy. It's just that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei don't know much about the formation, and the two of them together probably know seven or eight ancient formations. Zhao Feng looked at Zhang Fei's white expression, and knew that he definitely didn't know about today's formation.

"How can this be?" Zhao Feng was a little panicked, and now Cao Ren's formation was just blocking Liu Beijun's way. Of course, there are many soldiers in Xuzhou, and if you bypass it, you can get around. But in this way, when he confronts Cao Ying under Peiguo City, he will face the danger of being flanked.

"It's getting late, let's set up troops for the time being, and convene everyone to discuss the big tent at night to see how to break this formation." Liu Bei saw that everyone didn't see a name for a while, so he immediately ordered to deal with it for the time being.

In the evening in the Xuzhou military tent, everyone was present. "I haven't seen this big array, I don't know if anyone has seen it?" Zhang Fei muttered. "What big array?" Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi in the rear army and Lu Su in the Chinese army were confused, and Liu Bei told the situation at that time.

"So that's the case, my lord, this big array is laid out on the plain, and it is not real to look at it casually, but I can order the sergeant to build a dirt slope overnight, so that I can climb up and watch it." After listening to this, Lu Su first admonished.

Zhao Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Zi Jing is familiar with the formation?" ”

"I don't dare to know it, but I still know a few formations. Climb up tomorrow and take a look, and you should be able to find some flaws. Lu Su was as cautious as ever. When Liu Bei and the others heard what he said, they finally had a little more confidence.

Not to mention that the Xuzhou army discussed all night, at this time, under the city of Peiguo, the Cao army's tent was also brilliantly lit. Cao Ying and his important advisers and generals were all there, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

"This bow and crossbow is so powerful, it seems that Peiguo City is difficult to take easily." Cao Ying also sighed. During the day, he ordered men to attack for a whole day, leaving behind more than 5,000 corpses. Of course, the defenders of Peiguo were not without losses, and it is estimated that at least a thousand people died. The problem is that if the fight continues like this, Cao Ying's Yanzhou army will be broken.

"Report to the lord, Runan Guan Yu personally led an army of 50,000 to save Peiguo, and he has arrived in Liang State." At this time, another Tanma newspaper came to report, and suddenly there was another exclamation in the camp tent.

"I have heard for a long time that the Xuzhou military horses are elite, and now I see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. The Peiguo guard is just a yellow turban thief, but it is no longer to be underestimated. Now Guan Yu and Liu Bei's two reinforcements are aggressive, and it is difficult to give up in this situation. Zilian, with your 20,000 horses, go to the west to stop Guan Yu. If necessary, use the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, and be sure to stick with me for five days! Cao Ying also made up his mind, he must break Peiguo's hard bone before the reinforcements arrived.

"No!" Cao Hong hugged his fists and received the order, and he didn't mention it overnight, and he didn't say anything all night.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei led everyone to climb the newly built dirt slope and watched Cao Renbucheng's military formation from a distance. "Brother Zijing, have you ever seen it?" Zhao Feng looked at Lu Su's expression as indifferent as ever, knowing that he had a good reputation for it.

"Lord, this should be Cao Ying's housekeeping stunt: Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. Su had heard Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang mention it. Although Cao Ren's formation has been changed, the foundation remains the same. Moreover, this formation lacks the guidance of famous generals, and it is not difficult to break it. Lu Su looked at it for a while, and finally saw the name.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Zijing has a way to break the formation?" ”

"The lord can send a general, lead three thousand light cavalry to enter from the southeast corner of Shengmen, and kill out of the west gate, then this formation can be broken!" Lu Su finally made a decision, but then added: "Cao Ren has 20,000 horses, but this large array is only composed of 10,000 people, presumably there are still 10,000 ready to go." The lord can lay down two more people, and after breaking the formation, cover and kill from both sides, and he will be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop! ”

"Zijing's plan is wonderful!" Liu Bei was also quite excited, and immediately ordered: "Zilong, you lead three thousand cavalry, and go to break the formation according to Zijing's words!" ”

"No!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists and received the order.

"Third brother, Bo Tao, each of you will lead 10,000 horses, wait for their formation to break from both sides, and immediately wave it to cover up!" Liu Bei continued to order.

"No!" Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei also responded together.

"Kill!" With Zhao Yun's roar, the three thousand light cavalry led by him immediately quickly slaughtered to the southeast corner of the large array driven by Cao Ren's full force, and then smashed into the formation from there, heading straight to the west. The sergeants in the formation tried to step forward to stop them, but Zhao Yun and the other cavalry were fast horses and guns, like a sharp arrow, straight into the army formation, which caused the southeast corner of the entire large array to be completely chaotic, and then the chaotic area showed signs of getting bigger and bigger.

"Not good!" Cao Ren, who was in the middle of the command, saw that the formation was broken cleanly, and he suddenly became anxious. At this moment, Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng on the left and right sides also launched almost at the same time, and the two military horses pressed towards Cao Ren's Chinese army like hungry tigers pounced on sheep. In addition to the big array being broken, including Cao Ren himself, he had no fighting will, and now Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei rushed over to kill, and they were really like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

"Don't enter the village, retreat quickly!" Cao Ren saw that the defeated army couldn't hold back for a while, so he directly ordered to abandon the village. Finally, he still understood that he couldn't go directly to Peiguo, so he packed up the remnants of his army and retreated to Lu Guo, which was guarded by Li Dian.

"It's a pity!" Zhao Feng waved his gun and killed a few Cao soldiers who stepped forward to stop him, but when he saw Cao Ren, he had already fled far away. Now that he is busy rescuing Peiguo, he has no time to hunt him down.

"Big brother, kill hard!" Zhang Fei laughed and returned to the dirt slope to say to Liu Bei, and then turned his head to Lu Su with a solemn face and said, "Mr. Zijing is really talented, Fei really admires it!" ”

"The three generals are serious!" Lu Su also returned the salute with a smile. Zhao Feng will also return to the dirt slope at this time, after reporting the military situation to Liu Bei, Zhao Feng looked at Lu Su, and just nodded with a smile. Lu Su also smiled, but didn't say anything.

"Lu Su still has two hits!" Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Maybe he is not as good as Guo Jia in terms of using troops and formations, and he is not as good as Zhang Zhao in terms of internal affairs, but he is better than all-powerful, and he can order anything. Now Zhuge Liang is not yet twenty years old, and Pang Xiaoniao is estimated to be a minor. Since these two are not there, they might as well use Lu Su as a copycat version of Zhuge Liang.

"It's not yet noon, and this place is only thirty miles away from Peiguo. My lord, I can order the soldiers to rest on the spot, have a full meal, and then march with all their might, and strive to rush to Peiguo in the afternoon. Lu Su admonished again, Liu Bei was already smiling from ear to ear when he saw such a big victory, and now he has a hundred trusts in Lu Su, and he has no mouth to agree at the moment.

At this time, under the city of Peiguo, Cao Ying saw that the defenders of Peiguo, who had the same hatred of the enemy, were still resisting desperately. Today's Cao army's offensive is more fierce than yesterday's, and the result is that the casualties on both sides are greater than yesterday's, and in less than half a day, Cao's army has already dropped more than 4,000 corpses. As for the Peiguo defenders, although their casualties also increased, they still held the city firmly.

"This Guan Hai is a brave and unscrupulous person, and Jian Yong is not a wise man, so the two of them have actually blocked us for almost two days." Cao Ying couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Look, Prime Minister, it seems that there are people in the city!" Xun You's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there were not only defenders on the city, but also some ordinary people who were busy. Carrying rocks, arrows, treating the wounded, etc. Although it did not directly participate in the war, its role should not be underestimated.

"The Xuzhou Army has won the hearts of the people!" Cao Ying sighed. Guo Jia and Xun You behind him looked at each other very helplessly, isn't this because you did the slaughter of Xuzhou in the first place? I just made this show in Lu again, and now the people are afraid when they hear your name, so they don't fight to defend the city.

"Intensify the siege!" Cao Ying was about to give an order, when a sentry rode a flying horse to report: "Prime Minister, General Cao Ren was defeated by Liu Bei and has now returned to the Lu State." Liu Bei's army is less than twenty miles away! ”

"Smack!" The whip in Cao Ying's hand fell.
