After Wen Chou broke through Cao Ren's battle formation with a small group of cavalry, before he had time to look back, he only heard a sound of bangs, and countless figures suddenly emerged from behind Cao Ren's battle formation, surrounding Wen Chou's small force. Wen Chou glanced at it, and his heart immediately cooled, it was Cao Jun again! And it is also the department of Zang Ba who guards Qingzhou.

Cao Cao's two elite troops, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guards, were all from the Qingzhou Army, the Qingzhou Army was known for its courage and good fighting, and the leader of the troops was Zang Ba, who was the best at giving full play to the advantages of the Qingzhou soldiers.

The Cao army of Qingzhou was divided into two parts, like two long dragons, bringing up the tumbling dust and killing the small force led by Wen Chou. The reason why Cao Ren deliberately let go of Wen Chou was because Cao Ren knew that behind him, there was Zang Ba, and Zang Ba would not let himself down.

In the formation, Zang Ba came out of the crowd, holding a spear in front of the formation, and after glancing at Wen Chou coldly, Zang Ba's voice without the slightest emotion sounded: "Besiege Wen Chou, live or die!" After Zang Ba's subordinates received the order, they immediately divided into two teams of foot soldiers, and cooperated with the two teams that had killed Wen Chou before, and launched round after round of onslaught against Wen Chou.

Wen Chou only broke through Cao Ren's defense line with more than 1,000 people, and now there is Zang Ba blocking the road in front of him, and Cao Ren is heavily defended by Cao Ren's troops in the back, Wen Chou has become a turtle in the urn, and there is no way to retreat. It is a fool's dream to want to fight against Zang Ba's 20,000 foot soldiers with a thousand people. However, Wen Chou was not willing to be captured, and waved a big knife to rush back and forth, each slash would take the life of a Cao army sergeant, and the screams kept resounding under Wen Chou's knife. Although Wen Chou is brave, but the manpower is sometimes poor, Wen Chou is not Ao Lie, he does not have Ao Lie's innate divine power and wonderful marksmanship, after killing more than a dozen back and forth, Wen Chou's war horse has shown signs of exhaustion, and the speed has gradually slowed down. In the midst of the chaos. Without the advantage of speed, Wen Chou, who is surrounded by the core, has a self-evident fate, and defeat is a matter of time.

The brave Wen Chou also realized that the war horse would only become a burden to himself, so he no longer hesitated at the moment, twisted his body and jumped off the war horse, holding a big knife and only caring about slashing and killing, as if he wanted to pull more burial before he died. Seeing Wen Chou's bravery, Zang Ba quietly took out a strong bow. Mounted a sharp arrow, after aiming for a while, he suddenly let go, and the sharp arrow roared and shot towards Wen Chou.

At this time, it can be seen that Wen Chou's martial arts are proficient, and in the noisy battlefield, Wen Chou can still see and listen to all directions, and Zang Ba's sharp arrow has just left the string. Wen Chou has already found out. After slashing the two Cao Jun in front of him, he suddenly turned his body around, and at the same time took a big step forward with his left foot, giving his big knife room to slash. Then he held the knife in both hands and split the sharp arrow shot by Zang Ba into two pieces with one sword. After cutting off Zang Ba's sharp arrow, Wen Chou also glanced at Zang Ba with a provocative face, and told Zang Ba with his eyes: Your cold arrow. It can't hurt so-and-so.

Zang Ba saw Wen Chou's provocative eyes, but he was unmoved, and there was no sadness or joy on his cold face. Draw two arrows again and place them on the bowstring. Zang Ba pulls the bow with his left hand, controls the string with his right hand, and the two sharp arrows lead but do not fire, he is looking for the flaws of Wen Chou, or rather, he is waiting for Wen Chou to make a mistake. Once Wen Chou makes any mistakes, Zang Ba's sharp arrow will come at the right time to give Wen Chou a fatal blow.

At noon, Wen Chou's body just turned around after a knife swing and slash, facing the brilliant sun. The dazzling sunlight made Wen Chou subconsciously close his eyes. The time has come! Zang Ba maintained the posture of controlling the strings, and kept paying attention to Wen Chou, like a calm wolf, at this moment, after seeing Wen Chou blink, Zang Ba's momentum suddenly soared, and an invisible killing machine locked on Wen Chou's body, and the two sharp arrows that had been gathering momentum on the strong bow for a long time, one left and one right, were shot at Wen Chou's legs, and in the chaotic battle, if Wen Chou was shot in the legs by Zang Ba, it would not be far from death.

This time, Zang Ba did not miss, after a long period of accumulation, Zang Ba has adjusted his spirit to the best state, and also used the archery technique of killing two birds with one stone, Wen Chou was caught off guard, only had time to dodge a sharp arrow, but there was nothing he could do about the second arrow, he could only adjust the pace of his feet as much as possible, and try to avoid the leg bones piercing the sharp arrow.

Poof--The sharp arrow accurately hit Wen Chou's left thigh, with a bead of blood, piercing Wen Chou's thigh through a vague blood hole. Fortunately, even though Wen Chou adjusted his pace and avoided the collision between the sharp arrow and the leg bone, he did not suffer a heavy blow to the leg bone, but the muscles in his thigh were shot through. But even so, a heart-piercing pain made Wen Chou twitch all over his body, but he endured it without exhaling in pain, staggered back a few steps, and then used the hilt of the knife to pestle the ground, supporting his body and preventing himself from falling.

In Zang Ba's impression, although Yan Liang and Wen Chou are famous generals under Yuan Shao, they are brave and strategic, and they are not worthy of the task at all, but now when they see Wen Chou's trembling pain, they refuse to cry out in pain, and they also support their bodies with weapons, which can't help but make Zang Ba awe-inspired. waved over a team of guards, and Zang Ba ordered: "Capture Wen Chou and hand it over to Sikong to fall." Zang Ba said this, which is equivalent to leaving a way for Wen Chou to live, at least, Wen Chou will not be hacked to death by Cao Jun's soldiers immediately.

On the other hand, the confrontation between Yan Liang, Yu Ban and Cao Hong has also entered a white-hot stage, and Yu Ban's strength is training, not charging into battle; Although Cao Hong is brave, he is still young, inexperienced, and undoubtedly not skilled enough, therefore, the two of them still can't defeat Yan Liang when they join forces, but they are in danger of being beaten by Yan Liang, I believe that it won't be long before Yan Liang can cut the two off the horse.

Of course, Cao Ren would not let such a thing happen, behind him, the personal guards, under the cover of Cao Jun's cavalry, had already arranged three tripwires according to his requirements, and now, it was time for the tripwires to play a role. Cao Ren rushed into the battlefield with a knife and shouted: "Zilian (Cao Hong's character) and Wen Ze (Yu Ban's character) stand back, and wait for Ben General to come to fight Yan Liang in person!" ”

After Cao Hong and Yu Ban heard Cao Ren's shouting, they both made a false move, and then rode their horses and ran towards the main formation. Yan Liang had a chance to catch up and defeat or even kill one of them, but Yan Liang knew that the situation was critical today, even if he killed Cao Hong and Yu Banzhong, it would not play a role in reversing the crisis, but it would not be as good as capturing Cao Ren. Cao Ren is the current supreme commander of the Cao army, and if he can capture Cao Ren, it will be enough to make the Cao army throw himself into a trap.

As soon as he thought of this, Yan Liang yelled. raised his knife and slashed at Cao Ren. Cao Ren was not to be outdone, and raised his big knife and made a tough attack with Yan Liang. With the sound of the collision of the two weapons, Cao Ren suddenly felt that his arms were shocked and slightly numb, Yan Liang's courage is indeed worthy of his reputation. At the same time, Yan Liang was also surprised, he didn't expect Cao Ren's strength and martial arts to exceed his imagination. Since Cao Cao formed the army, Cao Ren has always held the position of the chief general, and rarely took action in person. Therefore, he left the impression to the world that he was a wise general who was good at arranging troops, but his good martial arts were inadvertently ignored by people. Just imagine, how brave the brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are, either of the two, the martial arts are by no means under Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but the two brothers have never expressed any doubts about Cao Ren's position as the chief general of the Chinese army. In addition to the relationship between the clan brothers, Cao Ren's martial arts must also be a reason for the Xiahou brothers to be convinced, and it is inferred in turn that Cao Ren's martial arts are inferior to the Xiahou brothers. But it's not far off.

After fighting with Yan Liang for more than a dozen rounds, Cao Ren's sword technique gradually dispersed, and his breath was also fluctuating, which seemed very disordered. Obviously, Cao Ren was already a little unable to support Yan Liang's onslaught. When the two of them met again. Cao Ren suddenly looked behind Yan Liang in horror, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

Hearing Cao Ren's words, Yan Liang was so frightened that his back was cold, there was someone behind him, and he didn't even notice it? Yan Liang hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, but found that there were only scuffling sergeants behind him, and there were no particularly dazzling people. Hurriedly turning around, Yan Liang saw Cao Ren attached to the saddle, looking weak, and had already run more than ten steps away towards Cao Jun's battle array.

Yan Liangqi's nameless fire started, and the duck in his hand was about to fly away! How could Yan Liang endure this? Judging by Cao Ren's appearance, Yan Liang was confident that he could capture Cao Ren within three moves, but who expected Cao Ren to turn back by fraud, but he took the opportunity to escape! With an angry roar, Yan Liang raised his big knife and urged the war horse to chase after Cao Ren.

In the Yuan army's array, when the judge saw this scene, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "General Yan, return to the formation quickly!" "Now after Wen Chou led the army to break through Cao Ren's defense line, but he has not made the next move, and the trial guesses that Wen Chou has encountered an accident, if Yan Liang has any more accidents, the 40,000 Yuan troops he brought will really die in a foreign country.

However, Yan Liang turned a deaf ear to the call for trial, relying on his martial bravery, he didn't take the Cao soldiers in his eyes at all. In his opinion, as long as he can catch Cao Ren, his team of men and horses will have the capital to save their lives, so instead of slowing down, Yan Liang stepped on the horse's belly harder, wanting to make the war horse run faster.

Ten Steps...... Five-step ...... Three steps, when he was about to catch up with Cao Ren, Yan Liang suddenly felt the world spinning, and heard the long and mournful roar of his war horse in his ears, and then, Yan Liang's body came into close contact with the earth, and he was dizzy and at a loss.

After Yan Liang got rid of the confused state, he found that his neck was already full of steel knives, the steel knives of Cao Jun's soldiers! Yan Liang raised his eyes and saw Cao Rence standing next to the tripping horse, looking calm and relaxed, where was the appearance of half a minute of disordered breath and lack of strength just now? In an instant, Yan Liang understood, he had fallen into a trick, and he wanted to capture Cao Ren, but he was caught by Cao Ren instead.

The Yuan army, which lost Yan Liang and Wen Chou, was like a toothless tiger, and in just one hour, it was defeated by the Cao army, and of the 40,000 Yuan army, only a few thousand people fled the battlefield, and the rest were either beheaded or surrendered to the Cao army. In this battle, Cao Rensheng captured Yan Liang, Zang Ba captured Wen Chou, and Cao Jun captured more than 10,000 soldiers, only the whereabouts of the trial match are unknown, and it is estimated that he took advantage of the chaos to escape.

After the war, Zang Ba told Cao Ren about Wen Chou's performance, and euphemistically asked Cao Ren to forgive Yan Liang and Wen Chou in line with the scale of employing talents. After a little muttering, Cao Ren happily agreed to Zang Ba's request. Yan Liang and Wen Chou's martial arts, Cao Ren has also seen it, if these two people can really serve Cao Cao, it will be a big help. However, Cao Ren was not sure in his heart to persuade Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so he ordered the two to be taken back to Yanzhou and waited for Cao Cao to personally persuade them to surrender. After arranging the post-war matters, Cao Ren said goodbye to Zang Ba and told Zang Ba to guard Qingzhou with his heart and try his best to ensure the stability of the front line, Cao Ren returned to Yanzhou.

A few days later, Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou from Huainan, and after hearing the results of Cao Ren and Zang Ba, Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately rewarded the second general. After that, Cao Cao summoned Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and after a moderate conversation, Cao Cao thought that although these two people lacked wisdom and were not suitable for leading troops to fight, they were not afraid of life and death, and had no personal grudges with Cao Cao, so they were the most suitable position for the commander of the pro-guard army. Cao Cao's style of employing people without suspicion is vividly displayed in the handling of this matter.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou, as generals, received such courtesy from Cao Cao, and they were moved in their hearts, and immediately expressed their willingness to follow Cao Cao in front of the saddle and behind the horse to protect Cao Cao's safety. Because the two of them are excellent in martial arts and are in charge of the Tiger Guard Army, the soldiers of the Cao Army have since called the two Tiger Guards, replacing the positions of Xu Chu and Dian Wei in history.
