Although the Shu Han army was in a hurry, they did not panic, in the face of the Wei army death squad that rushed over, the sword and shield hands were tightly huddled together, and the shields in their hands formed a wall, the spearmen raised the spears in their hands, the shining spear tips pointed at the Wei troops who were getting closer and closer, and the crossbowmen hid behind them, shooting with all their might.

The arrows are galloping, swishing, within a hundred steps, there is no need to aim at all, and the crossbowmen of the Shu Han army shoot at will.

The long arrows roared and shot at the Wei death squad, and the Wei soldiers of the death squad roared, and several warriors in front leaned together, blocked the door with their shields, and rushed forward. The shield was too small, and they were quickly shot by the arrow, but they refused to stop, and still ran with all their might, until they were shot into hedgehogs by the arrow, and their bodies were brought down by the arrow's liliang, and then they fell to the ground with a bang.

Although they fell, they bought precious time for their companions behind them, and approached the Shu Han army for more than ten steps.

One person fell, and immediately another person came up, continued to roar, and quickly approached the Shu Han army.

At a distance of more than 100 steps, nearly half of the two hundred death squads fell.

"Kill!" A Wei soldier with a bloody face roared and rushed over. When he still had four or five steps left, he threw the sword in his hand with all his might. The war knife rolled and swirled, and flew towards the Shu Han army that was waiting for the battle, and then flew up and jumped up, slamming into the formation of the Shu Han army with spears, and crashed into it without evading.

The sword roared and smashed against a shield, bouncing off before it could hit the ground before the soldier had been pierced through the chest with a spear. But he didn't stop running. He ignored the spear that pierced through his body and slammed into his shield. Picked up the shield in his hand and smashed it at the shield hand of the Shu Han Army who was facing him.

With a "boom", the shields collided, and the Wei sergeant completed the first blow of the Wei army with his own life.

Immediately after, another Wei sergeant collided with him.

And then, another.

The Wei soldiers crashed into the spears of the Shu Han army one after another, allowing the sharp spears to pass through their bodies. They smashed the long knives and shields in their hands before they hit the spear themselves, and launched an attack on the Shu Han army, and Zuihou struck with his own body, if possible. They will also try to hold the Shu Han army. Open your mouth to bite.

This is not a group of warriors, this is a group of bloodthirsty beasts.

Although the Shu Han army was in a tight formation, they were frightened by the fierce onslaught of the Wei soldiers, and a shield hand could not avoid it. Embraced by a dying Wei soldier. The nose was bitten alive. He threw away his weapon, covered his face, and let out a howl of pain. He was then hacked to death by another Wei soldier with a knife.

The Wei soldiers were stabbed to death by the spears of the Shu Han army and hacked to death by the swords, but their murderous aura of death seriously impacted the morale of the Shu Han army.

After paying for the lives of more than 30 people, the Wei army successfully opened a gap, and fifty or sixty Wei army death squad soldiers roared in, slashing and killing.

Cao Zhi immediately ordered the crossbowmen to move forward again, and more than two hundred spearmen lined up in five rows, stepping on neat steps, and rushed towards the Wei army.

Like those daredevils, these spearmen ignored the dense rain of arrows as if they were nothing, and after paying most of the casualties, more than thirty spearmen successfully entered the position of the Shu Han army. They immediately gathered together to form a forest of spears, fiercely stabbing and tenaciously widening the breach.

In a matter of moments, the front of the Shu Han army was slaughtered together, and countless people who had never known each other fought to the death.

Seeing the rapidly expanding battle group in front of him, Ma Jian couldn't help but be shocked, and his original contempt for Cao Zhi was gone. In his impression, Cao Zhi is of course a genius, and this genius is not a complimentary name, a bit close to the meaning of a prodigal. The Han people attach importance to scriptures and ignore poetry, and the father and son of the Cao family obviously do not have too deep attainments in scriptures, they are good at poetry, Cao Zhi is a typical one, plus the things he did when he was fighting for the throne, leaving the world with the impression of being a, not a gentleman.

What's more, although Cao Zhi has led troops, he has never independently commanded battles, let alone any achievements, although his tactics this time are unexpected, they are not conventional, and there is a suspicion of chaos. Ma Tan didn't take him too seriously from the bottom of his heart, he even decided to block Cao Zhi here, wait for Zhao Yun to arrive, and then kill Cao Zhi here with superior forces, and then go back to deal with the three thousand cavalry.

But he didn't expect Cao Zhi to be so decisive when he led the troops for the first time, and he didn't expect Cao Zhi to be so popular with soldiers when he led the troops for the first time.

Ma Tan didn't have enough time to prepare, many large ordnance like ballistas didn't even have time to put in place, and the thunderbolt carts didn't have time to swing away, and his psychological preparation was even less enough, in the face of the Wei army's crazy attack at any cost, his reaction was not fast enough, and he watched the position being torn open by Cao Zhi.

Ma Jian tried his best to counterattack, but Cao Zhi obviously did not intend to give him a chance, and the gap had not really opened, so Cao Zhi sent the main force, 5,000 men to attack from the front, and another two teams of 3,000 people each to attack Ma Tan's left and right flanks. Ma Tan had only 8,000 men, and the disparity in strength was huge, and the strength of the two flanks was especially insufficient, and in the face of the onslaught of the Wei army, the position was crumbling and quickly showed a disadvantage.

Ma Tan had no choice but to send the Chinese army to reinforce the two wings.

Seeing the Chinese army's battle flag waving, Cao Zhi showed a cold smile, he stepped on his white horse, and raised his long knife high: "Guard the battalion, charge with me-"

"Charge-" Dozens of guards galloped on horseback, embracing Cao Zhi and killing the Shu army.

More than 3,000 Wei soldiers followed Cao Zhi and rushed wildly, rolling up a wild flank and pounced on the thinnest left flank of the Shu Han army.

Seeing Cao Zhi personally go into battle, the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted, the morale was like a rainbow, and the attack became more and more ferocious, firmly containing the Shu Han army.

The three thousand Wei army, with Cao Zhi and others as the arrows, inexorably entered the left flank of the Shu Han army. Cao Zhi took the lead, slashed left and left with a long knife, killed two people in a row, and Tima crashed into the formation.

Different from the impression of the world, although Cao Zhi is famous for his literary talent, he is not a weak scholar, on the contrary, he has a good martial arts. Although he can't be as famous for his swordsmanship as Cao Pi, nor is he as strong as Cao Zhang, his martial arts are also assigned by famous teachers. After a long talk with him, Handan Chun, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, once praised him as a celestial man, although there is no lack of praise, but Cao Zhi's all-round talent in civil and military affairs is the truth.

In fact, although the scholars of the Han Dynasty despised martial artists, there were not many who really didn't understand any martial arts, and they just looked down on those pure martial artists who could only fight and did not understand knowledge. The Cao family's father and son are like this, and so are Ma Yan, but their martial arts are not so famous. For example, Cui Yan, a famous minister of the Wei State, is a famous fencing expert, but he never shows his swordsmanship, and a few people can know it.

These guards around Cao Zhi are composed of the tiger ben selected for him by the Son of Heaven Cao Rui and the warriors arranged for him by Cao Zhen, although they are not Cao Zhi's own personal guards, but they are as impressed by Cao Zhi's demeanor as ordinary soldiers, and are willing to live and die for him. What's more, they knew very well that Zhao Yun was right behind them, and if they couldn't break through Ma Yan's interception as soon as possible, they might be caught in the front and back, and they would probably die here.

If there is no way out, they can only survive in the dead, which was already doomed from the moment they crossed the Yellow River. At this moment, even Cao Zhi is personally in battle, who will hesitate?

Without too much agitation, all the Wei soldiers and soldiers were determined to move forward.

One person is desperate, ten people are difficult, and ten thousand people will die, rampaging the world. The fifteen thousand Wei infantry soldiers led by Cao Zhi who had no way out broke out with amazing combat effectiveness and quickly captured the position of the Shu Han army.

Although Ma Tan roared loudly and tried his best to organize a counterattack, his momentum was completely suppressed by Cao Zhi, who was fighting for his life, and in front of the angry Wei army, he did not support the whole army for an hour before the whole army collapsed.

The Shu Han army scattered and fled.

The Wei army pursued the north.

Cao Zhi galloped on horseback and slashed wantonly.

……

Zhao Yun was anxious and urged the army to advance quickly.

He has been following behind Cao Zhi, although he has tried his best to catch up, but he has not been able to close the distance with Cao Zhi. It's like they're in a race, they're all doing everything they can to go full throttle. He couldn't shorten the distance, and Cao Zhi couldn't widen the gap either, and the two looked at each other one after the other.

From the moment Cao Zhi did not go to Tongguan, but turned around and headed west in Pusakajin, Zhao Yun realized that he had been fooled. Cao Zhi's goal was not Tongguan, the reason why he had been traveling south along the west bank of the Yellow River after coming out of Huanglong Mountain was to make him mistakenly think that he was going to Tongguan, so he would follow him closely, instead of marching on the west side of Cao Zhi. Now, Cao Zhi has achieved his goal, successfully left him behind, and finally revealed his true intentions.

Although Zhao Yun understood, he couldn't think about it, he could only chase with all his might. He knew very well that Ma Jian was on his way east, and he was likely to meet Cao Zhi head-on. Cao Zhi has 15,000 people, while Ma Jian only has 10,000 people, and he has to leave people to defend the city, at most he can only bring seven or eight thousand people, and the difference in strength between the two is nearly doubled.

Zhao Yun didn't dare to hope that Ma Jian could defeat Cao Zhi, he only hoped that Ma Jian could block Cao Zhi's way and drag Cao Zhi down. In this way, as long as he arrives in time and joins forces with Ma Yan, he will have enough strength advantage to be sure to inflict heavy damage or even defeat Cao Zhi's army.

From the march route in just a few days after Cao Zhiguan, the experienced Zhao Yun already knew what kind of opponent he had encountered. At this time, he also understood that Weishenme Cao Rui didn't need to let a general like Sima Yi go, but let a clan like Cao Zhi who had never fought a war fight.

This is the sharpest sword of the Cao family.

Cao Cao is all-round in civil and military affairs, and he uses soldiers like a god. Several of his sons have their own inheritance, Cao Pi inherited his power skills, Cao Zhang is brave and fierce, is a rare fierce general, and Cao Zhi undoubtedly inherited his way of using soldiers. It's just that because of his identity, he has never had the opportunity to play.

Now, the Cao family's sharpest war knife is finally out of its sheath.

Can Ma Tan stop it? Zhao Yun didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes...... (To be continued......)
