In fact, for Cao Ren's Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, Zhao Chen always thought that it only existed in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but he didn't expect that it really existed in history.

For formations such as the Bamen Golden Lock Formation, the two armies can still be used for field confrontation, but Cao Ren chose to arrange it in front of the city.

The people in the city only need to hold on, and then lead the troops to kill when the people and soldiers in the formation are exhausted, how can they not be victorious?

So just now Cao Ren was insulting under the city, Zhao Chen had already seen through it, and grabbed Zhang Fei, who was going down to fight with Cao Ren.

He doesn't care if Lu Bu wants to send him to death, but Zhang Fei must not mess around.

It is said that Liu Bei's phalanx advanced steadily and swept Cao Ren.

Cao's army did not have any resistance and retreated.

Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan each led 10,000 soldiers to the rescue, which stopped the trend of decadence.

Guan Yu turned around to save Zhang Liao, Gao Shun rescued Lu Bu, and the four of them gathered more than 2,000 remnants and returned to Liu Bei's phalanx, but Wei Xu died in the formation.

Lu Bu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Cao Ren Xiao'er, I will definitely behead you!" ”

Cao Ren, who had just been rescued, heard Lu Bu's insult before he could breathe a sigh of relief, and he scolded back not to be outdone.

The confrontation between the two sides has turned into a war of words.

For a time, both sides were reluctant to take the initiative.

About an hour later, the 70,000 horses of Cao Cao's headquarters also joined Xiahou and Cao Ren.

Zhao Chen took Shi Ah Ye to the front of the formation to see what Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked like.

Leave Chen Gong to guard Picheng.

At this moment, the two armies faced each other ten miles outside the west gate of Xiapi City, on one side was the Liu Lu coalition army, Liu Bei led Zhao Chen and Guan Yu, and Lu Bu led Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, a total of 10,000 horses, and on the other side was Cao Cao's army, leading Guo Jia, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and other generals, a total of 90,000 horses.

It's another battle with a huge disparity in strength.

Zhao Chen put his hand on the center of his eyebrows, covering the dust and sunshine, and looked at Cao Cao who was a hundred steps away.

Cao Cao is worthy of a generation of heroes, full of wisdom, red robes and golden crowns, standing proudly, with tens of thousands of troops standing behind him, very majestic.

He stepped forward and shouted: "Please Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao come forward to speak." ”

Guo Jia was slightly startled and set his eyes on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded in agreement.

Guo Jia stepped forward and shouted: "Who is looking for me?" ”

Zhao Chen fixed his eyes and saw that this was Guo Jia, the strongest strategist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a thin melon seed face, a small handful of beards, with a little vicissitudes, bright eyes, and a cloth dress, showing a literati atmosphere.

The two are indeed more suitable for competing for the Central Plains than Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

It's just a pity that Guo Jia has outstanding intelligence, but he met Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chenyao shouted: "I am Zhao Chen, Liu Xuande's military teacher, and the plan to make Cao Cao cut his beard and abandon his robe a few days ago was made by me." ”

When Cao Cao's soldiers heard this, they instantly became angry.

"Ignorant child, you dare to tease the lord in front of the battle, see if I don't kill him!"

"I'll go with Yuan Rang!"

Seeing this, Guo Jia hurriedly persuaded: "The two generals must not be in a hurry. ”

Zhao Chen saw that Cao Jun had a small commotion, smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, the rear army has become the front army, you can quietly retreat to the west gate of Picheng, and you must cross the Yishui quickly." ”

Liu Bei nodded.

Zhao Chen called Guan Yu to his side and ordered: "Yun Chang quickly led two thousand cavalry, went from the north, detoured behind the Cao army, and when the tail of the Cao army was chaotic, he and Tai Shici attacked the Cao army together." ”

Guan Yu took the order and left.

Subsequently, Zhao Chen shouted again: "Mr. Fengxiao is talented, why should he commit himself to serving the thief?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was also completely angry.

"How can it be!"

Guo Jia still looked at Zhao Chen calmly, as if he wanted to see through what Zhao Chen wanted.

Suddenly, he found that Liu Lu's army behind Zhao Chen was slowly evacuating.

Guo Jia suddenly realized that Zhao Chen's shouting in front of the formation was to leave time for Liu Bei to evacuate and return to the city.

He immediately suggested: "Lord, Liu Bei's army is returning to the city, and it is just right to attack at this time." ”

When Cao Jun heard this, he responded.

Cao Cao threw the leather whip on the ground suddenly, he was already angry that Zhao Chen exposed it on the spot, but now he is still insulting him, how can he tolerate it anymore!

"The whole army will attack and capture Zhao Chen and Liu Bei alive!"

For a time, Cao Cao's 90,000 army attacked Liu Bei's army along Surabaya, and everyone was holding back their anger and vented one after another.

In an instant, the killing shouts at the scene shook the sky and the dust flew.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen hurriedly retreated with Shi A.

Liu Bei's army had just crossed the Yishui River, and Cao's army arrived on the back foot.

The army is in full swing, the Yishui Bridge is not enough to accommodate 90,000 troops to cross the river, and the Yishui is not deep, so the soldiers have waded across the river, and the speed is not fast.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, and asked Liu Bei's army to slow down the march, so as not to lose Cao Jun's anger.

Seeing this, Guo Jia frowned, crossing the river at such a speed, if he encountered a surprise attack, the Cao army would definitely be in chaos.

He hurriedly told Cao Cao that the front army would speed up the crossing of the river, and the rear army would change its formation and draw its bow to guard against it, so as not to be helpless due to a surprise attack.

This move made Zhao Chen admire, the battlefield is changing rapidly, Guo Jianeng has captured all kinds of information from it, and he is indeed worthy of being the first wise man for effective response.

It's a pity that it's late.

I saw that Liu Lu's army immediately turned around, and Lu Bu, who was full of anger, was like a tiger out of the cage, carrying Fang Tian's halberd and rushing towards the front army of Cao's army. One man and one horse, like a martial god, everywhere Cao soldiers turned on their horses.

The former army Xiahou dun looked for Lu Bu's position and drove his horse to fight.

Just Xiahoudun, how can he be the opponent of Lu Bu in a violent state, and in just three rounds, Xiahoudun was defeated.

Xiahou Yuan came to help, but unfortunately the two of them were not Lu Bu's opponents.

The front army, which had not yet crossed the river, suddenly became chaotic, trampled on each other, and suffered numerous casualties.

Zhang Fei, who was ambushed on Geyi Mountain, saw the signal from the south and led his army to rush down from the mountain.

Cao Cao's front army, which was already chaotic, couldn't stop Zhang Fei at all.

The two armies intersected and instantly turned into a slaughterhouse for one side.

Cao's army retreated one after another, blocking the edge of the Yishui.

At this moment, a group of people and horses came from the upper reaches of Yishui, which was the Huang Gai army ambushed upstream.

Huang Gai is the best at water warfare, Cao Jun was first forced to retreat by Liu Lu's coalition army, and then was attacked by Zhang Fei, and all the personnel were crowded on the edge of Yishui, becoming a living target for Huang Gai's army.

Seeing this, the Cao army on the west bank of Yishui fought back one after another and assisted the former army to cross the river.

But just as he was about to raise his bow and release arrows, there was sudden chaos at the end of the army.

Cao Cao climbed high and looked out, only to see a general with a double halberd on his back, leading the cavalry to kill left and right.

Cao Cao panicked in his heart: "It's this person again, how can he appear behind him." ”

The coming general is none other than Tai Shici, who is ambushed behind Cao Jun.

Cao Ren immediately shouted: "Don't mess up, there are not many other horses, line up to fight back." ”

Tai Shi Cicai ignored Cao Ren, directly bypassed the infantry array, and continued to go north.

Wherever the cavalry went, the formation was chaotic, the men and horses trampled on each other, and the army could not be formed.

Cao Ren just wanted to turn the array, but suddenly another military general came behind him, Guan Yuye.

Cao Ren hurriedly responded, but he was Guan Yu's opponent, and he was forced into a desperate situation by Guan Yu in only three rounds.

In the chaos, Yu Ban rushed to rescue Cao Ren, and the two crossed Guan Yu's big knife and entangled for a few rounds.

Guan Yu flicked his knife and left, aiming at Cao Cao not far away.

Cao Cao saw that something was wrong, and led Guo Jia and Cheng Yu to evacuate immediately.

After all, the cavalry was fast, and Tai Shici and Guan Yu caught up with Cao Cao and others after three or two attacks.

Without the resistance of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and Yu Ban were not opponents of Guan Yu and Tai Shici at all, Yu Ban was stabbed in the arm, and Cao Ren was forced to retreat.

The generals protected Cao Cao alive and dead, Guan Yu saw that there was no chance, turned around and aimed at the Wenchen on the side, and immediately captured him.

The two of them rushed to kill for a while, until Cao Cao and the others left.

Under the city of Xiapi, Cao Cao's front army of about 20,000 people was trapped between Yishui and Geyi Mountain.

The two generals of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan struggled to support, but they were still surrounded and strangled by Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Fei, Huang Gai, and Liu Bei.

Finally found a breakthrough, and the two left quickly.

Halfway through, he was killed by Guan Yu and Tai Shici, who came back, for a while, and when he returned to Cao Cao's camp, there were only more than 2,000 people left.

The blood outside the city of Xiapi flowed like a river, staining the Yishui red.

In this battle, Cao's army lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Wenchen Cheng Yu was captured alive.

Guo Jia was very guilty, and sighed helplessly: "In terms of winning by surprise, the battlefield layout, Jia is far inferior to Zhao Chen!" ”

Cao Cao was also deflated: "No wonder Liu Xuande is invincible and invincible after having this person!" ”
