Chapter 420 Danyang Elite Soldiers
As Cao Ren kept changing formations, the Danyang soldiers were never allowed to enter, which finally annoyed Cao Bao.
"The army is divided into eight groups, each with 2,500 people, and besieged the enemy from all sides!"
The 20,000 Danyang soldiers were immediately divided into eight groups, and each entered from each of the eight gates of the Golden Lock Formation. Cao Ren's complexion changed slightly. The beauty of the eight-door golden lock array is that it can change from time to time, even if the enemy temporarily sees the location of the gate of life, it can be changed again. However, the eight-door golden lock array can have a miraculous effect against the same number of enemies.
But Cao Bao ordered the army to besiege on all sides, and the gates of life, injury and death of the eight-door golden lock formation were all attacked at the same time, and it was impossible for Cao Ren to change the formation.
"The whole army stands firm, the lord will lead the army to arrive soon!"
The eight thousand Cao troops all shouted angrily and guarded against the attacking Danyang soldiers. However, Danyang's elite soldiers were quite brave, and the number of Cao Ren's army was more than twice that of Cao Ren's army. The eight thousand Cao troops immediately fell into a bitter battle.
Fortunately, Cao Ren had great prestige in the army and was able to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers in the army. Therefore, the eight thousand Cao troops fought to the death and formed an array to resist the attack of Danyang soldiers.
"kill!"
Holding the shield in his left hand and the saber in his right, Cao Ren fought in person. Cao Ren's martial arts skills are not top-notch, but he has strict laws, and often even if several people attack at the same time, they cannot break through the defense.
There were only three Danyang soldiers holding spears or knives around the head, attacking from the left, middle and right sides, each with fierce expressions.
"Hey, Cao Ren is here, kill him and claim credit to the general!"
The three of them looked at each other and surrounded them maliciously, while Cao Ren snorted coldly and remained unmoved.
Three Danyang soldiers rushed forward at the same time, one in the middle straightened his spear and went straight to Cao Ren's vital point, while the two on the left and right held long knives and stepped forward quickly, the two ring-headed knives slashed loudly.
Facing the attack of the three, Cao Ren did not panic. He raised his left arm suddenly to hold the spear that was stabbing him, and he slashed out with the long knife in his right hand. The wooden pole of the spear was cut in two.
After cutting off the spear, Cao Ren didn't stop. He turned to the left and put his body against the shield. He pointed at the Danyang soldier on the left and slammed into him. The Danyang soldier was knocked to the ground immediately. Beheaded.
The Danyang soldier on the right was startled when he saw this, and his momentum was unavoidably weaker, while Cao Ren rushed forward like a tiger, slashing down on the head with the long knife, and immediately ripped the Danyang soldier open.
Under Cao Ren's personal fighting, the 8,000 Cao troops fought hard for a while, and finally withstood the onslaught of 20,000 Danyang soldiers, but the number of casualties rose sharply.
Seeing that Cao Renjun was about to lose his hold, there was a sudden clamor of dust in the north, and a burst of thick ox horns sounded suddenly.
Cao Bao's complexion changed, while Cao Ren was overjoyed.
"Soldiers! The lord has arrived, let's fight to the death and defeat the enemy!" Cao Ren yelled, and thousands of Cao troops cheered, their morale soared, and they entangled with Danyang soldiers to death.
On the other hand, Cao Bao frowned, looked north, and frowned.
There is only a big banner with the characters of Cao erected in the middle of the army, and outside the banner with the characters of Cao are waving banners: Xiahou, Le, Cao, etc. It is obvious that Cao Cao has personally led the main force to arrive, and the trend of strength and weakness has been reversed.
This time Cao Cao led a full 30,000 troops to come in person, leaving only 5,000 people to hand over to Shi Huan to temporarily entangle with Zhao Yu, the prefect of the East China Sea.
"My lord, Zixiao is fighting the enemy army, our army came at the right time."
Xi Zhicai beside Cao Cao spoke.
"Well, Zixiao has worked hard." Cao Cao said boldly: "The enemy army is out of the city and is vulnerable. All generals listen to my orders!"
"My lord, please issue orders!" General Cao Jun was full of ambition and pride.
"Xiahou Dun led an army of 10,000, attacking from the left side."
"Cao Hong led an army of 10,000, attacking from the right side."
"Le Jin, you are the vanguard, leading the Chinese army to attack the enemy!"
Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, and Le Jin each led the attack from the left, middle, and right sides. The 30,000 Cao troops who had just arrived on the battlefield were full of morale and launched a fierce attack on the Danyang soldiers.
"General Xiahou, I will be the vanguard, and you can command the Chinese army!"
I saw a big man in Xiahoudun's army standing forward, with a long beard and a magnificent figure, holding two big iron halberds in his hands, each weighing forty catties.
"Okay, let Cao Bao know how powerful my Cao Jun is!"
After Xiahoudun promised, Dianwei rushed out with his horse and single-handedly charged towards the enemy, brandishing his iron halberds and charged into the Danyang soldiers. Although the Danyang soldiers were brave, Dianwei was even braver. Entering the Danyang army is like a bloody storm.
The brave Danyang soldiers besieged on all sides and surrounded Dian Wei, but Dian Wei was happy and fearless, with a pair of iron halberds and fierce wind, seven or eight people fell under the iron halberds in an instant.
However, although Dian Wei was brave, there were many soldiers in Danyang. One of the Cao soldiers shouted: "Be careful, Dian Wei, someone is coming from behind!"
Dian Wei snorted, "Call me when the enemy reaches ten paces!"
"Ten steps away!"
"Hi!" Hearing this, Dian Wei turned around suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed several small halberds from the side of his belt, aimed at the Danyang soldiers rushing up behind him, and threw them. The three Danyang soldiers were hit critically and fell to the ground Sorry.
When Dian Wei charged forward in person, the formation of the Danyang army was in chaos, but Xiahou Dun seized the opportunity and ordered 10,000 Cao troops to press forward.
Xiahoudun led 10,000 Cao troops to attack the left side of the Danyang army, and the pressure on the Danyang army on the left suddenly increased. At this time, Cao Hong also led his army to the right flank of the Danyang army, and Le Jin entered the center.
Although Le Jin was short in stature, he was extremely brave. Holding a spear and charging across the horse, he was invincible. Under the attack of 30,000 Cao troops from all sides, the Danyang soldiers were defeated immediately.
Cao Ren, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He raised his shield and saber aloft, looked around and said, "The strong and the weak change their positions, and the opportunity to counterattack has come. This is the time for a good man to make great achievements. Follow me to kill!"
More than 5,000 Cao troops were besieged by Danyang soldiers on all sides, and their hearts were full of resentment. At this moment, they were cheering, and they suddenly turned from defense to attack, and the resentment in their chests suddenly vented.
The Danyang soldiers were in chaos for a while, but Cao Bao was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it. The reason why he usually achieved outstanding results was because of the bravery and skill of the Danyang soldiers. However, the Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao's command were equally brave and more numerous, and they were commanded by good generals such as Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Le Jin, and they were in chaos.
Fortunately, Danyang soldiers are famous for their bravery after all, so facing Cao Jun's fierce attack from all sides, they actually gritted their teeth and persisted, like a huge shield that resisted Cao Jun's four-sided attack.
