Cao Ren and Le Jin led hundreds of cavalry, although they escaped from the attack of Zhang Yan, Xu Sheng, and Chen Ying, and temporarily escaped the catastrophe, but they were still in Guangqi County.

Now the county is full of Xuzhou soldiers, Cao soldiers are dead, wounded, and surrendered, I don't know how many people are still fighting like them.

Cao Ren, Le Jin and others fought tenaciously against the Xuzhou soldiers, and gathered the Cao soldiers they met along the way. They were like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and even Cao Ren and Le Jin didn't expect that they would be able to gather more than 5,000 remnants of the army in such a bad situation.

Because of the chaos, the Cao soldiers scattered all over the city gathered together again at this moment, and under the command of Cao Ren, these remnants gradually twisted into a rope, sticking to a ruin in the northeast corner of Guangqi County, leaning on the ruins, still insisting on fighting with the Xuzhou soldiers.

Outside, the fire was soaring, Cao Ren clenched the long sword in his hand, and his cold eyes kept an eye on every move outside.

The Xuzhou soldiers had already surrounded this area, and the one in charge of commanding the battle was Sima Lu Dai under Zhang Yan's account.

From the beginning of the war, Lu Dai did not lead the elite troops to rush in like Zhang Yan, Xu Sheng, and Chen Ying, but commanded the troops, fought steadily, and advanced and retreated together.

Under the attack of Lü Dai, none of the Cao soldiers in the east of the city escaped, and wherever they passed, they were either killed and slaughtered, or forced to surrender.

All the Cao soldiers who surrendered were all gathered by Lu Dai, placed outside the city, and handed over to Deng Yi's soldiers and horses to take care of.

However, just a quarter of an hour ago, Cao Ren and Le Jin arrived here with the remnants of the army, relying on the broken city walls to defend here.

Lü Dai tried to attack twice, but was repelled by the stubborn resistance of Cao's army, and entered a stalemate with Cao Ren and Le Jin.

At this moment, Lu Dai was pacing in place, and he was also very troubled by Cao Jun's tenacity.

The distance between the two armies is not too far, only a few tens of meters apart, but within this dozens of meters, there are more than 200 Xuzhou soldiers' corpses scattered.

Just when Lu Dai was worried, Zhang Yan rushed over with more than 1,000 cavalry, rode his horse in front of Lu Dai, and asked loudly: "Haven't you captured it yet?" ”

"Cao Jun swore to defend to the death, I tried to attack twice, but Cao Jun repulsed, and then I let people notify the lord to come." Lu Dai hugged his fists.

Zhang Yan did not dismount, but rode his horse forward a few steps, glanced at the corner of Cao Jun's shrinkage, and said to Lu Dai: "No need to attack anymore, you can lead the troops to guard here, don't let Cao Jun run away for me, I don't believe it, they can not eat, drink or sleep!" ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Yan then instructed Xu Sheng and Chen Ying behind him: "You each lead the team to clean up all parts of the city, but there is a living mouth, if you don't surrender, all of them will be killed!" ”

"Whoa!" Xu Sheng and Chen Ying replied together.

Zhang Yan jumped off his horse, leaving five hundred cavalry to guard here, and defend Cao's army with Lu Dai's subordinates, and let Xu Sheng and Chen Ying take the rest of the cavalry.

After Xu Sheng and Chen Ying left Zhang Yan, they began to clean up the entire county, not letting go of any corner, and found more than 2,000 Cao soldiers from this pile of ruins, killed more than 500 people, and the rest all surrendered.

In the ruins, the soldiers of the Cao army hid in this palm-sized place, which was crowded.

Le Jin pushed through the crowd, squeezed to Cao Ren's side, knelt directly on the ground, and clenched his fists and said, "General, can you please kill me?" ”

Cao Ren glanced at Le Jin and asked, "Why did I kill you?" ”

Le Jin said: "General, if I hadn't tried my best to persuade the general to send troops, we wouldn't have encountered an ambush here, let alone let the general fall into a heavy siege, all of this is my fault, please punish the general!" ”

"As the commander-in-chief, I can't see the situation clearly, so I came rashly, and this will be an ambush. It's none of your business, it's me who was too careless. Besides, if you hadn't appeared in time just now, fought a bloody way, and rescued me, I would probably have died at the hands of Zhang Yan. Cao Ren said.

Le Jin said: "But the general ......"

"If I tell you to get up, you will get up, what so much nonsense!" Cao Ren said impatiently.

Le Jin saw that Cao Ren didn't seem to blame himself, so he stood up from the ground, he looked out of the wall, but saw that the Xuzhou soldiers were lined up neatly and had not moved for a long time, so he asked: "General, the Xuzhou soldiers have not acted for so long, do you want to trap us here?" ”

Cao Ren frowned and said slowly: "This is exactly what I am worried about......"

He raised his head, looked at the night sky, and saw that the east had gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly, so he said: "We can't sit here and wait for death, while the sky is not yet bright, and the Xuzhou soldiers have not yet closed the siege, we must find a way to break out." Otherwise, once the Xuzhou soldiers surround us here, even if we don't attack us, within three days, we will not starve to death, but will die of thirst! ”

Le Jin said: "What the general said is very true, leave the task of breaking through to me, I am willing to be the vanguard!" ”

Cao Ren nodded, gathered the soldiers together, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, this time due to my negligence, I was attacked by the Xuzhou soldiers, I, Cao Ren, am sorry for you." Now that we have been surrounded by the Xuzhou Corps, we are dead on the left and right, rather than die so badly here, it is better to break out with me, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life. If you don't want to die, stand up now, go out and surrender to the Xuzhou soldiers, I will definitely not harm you. If, in a quarter of an hour, no one is gone, then come with me to fight to the death! Even if you die in battle, no one will say that you are a bad seed! ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Cao army were full of righteous indignation, they came from Gaoping County, but they didn't want to be defeated miserably before they got close to Pengcheng, and they were defeated in a mess.

After a long time, none of the soldiers of the Cao army went out to surrender, and they were all willing to follow Cao Ren to break through and fight for that glimmer of life.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, Cao Ren looked around at the soldiers, and no one surrendered, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Good! It is true that they are all soldiers brought out by me, and at this time of life and death, it is really gratifying that you can put life and death aside. Since this is the case, then let's break through the siege together and work together to attack in one direction. Without further ado, get started now and break through! ”

"Breakout! Breakthrough! Breakout ......"

The soldiers of the Cao army were excited, and they all waved the blades in their hands and shouted loudly.

The voice was loud, straight to Xiao Han, deafening, and the soldiers of Cao Jun also regarded death as home, and their morale was high.

Zhang Yan was shocked when he heard Cao Jun's cry of "breaking through", and he didn't wait for him to make any reaction, but when he saw Cao Jun's soldiers suddenly rushing out of the ruins, every soldier's face had a fierce expression, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhang Yan immediately jumped on horseback, waved the iron spear in his hand forward, and shouted loudly.

The archers guarding here immediately began to draw their bows and arrows, but they heard countless string sounds, and hundreds of arrows were shot densely towards the Cao soldiers who rushed out.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The sound of breaking through the air reverberated between the soldiers of the two armies, and Cao's archers began to fight back.

"School Knife Hand!" Seeing this, Lu Dai immediately shouted.

More than 100 school swordsmen with shields immediately blocked the first row, using their shields to block the flying arrows and protect the archers from harm.

The arrows hit many Cao soldiers, but unless these soldiers were directly shot and killed, the rest were injured a little, and they didn't care about the injuries on their bodies, and still carried their weapons and moved forward bravely.

In the chaotic Cao army soldiers, Le Jin suddenly rushed out with the cavalry, with a vicious face, his eyes were full of incomparable anger, holding a big bow, shooting three arrows in a row, three Xuzhou soldiers fell in response, and the cavalry behind them also followed suit, and the arrows bypassed the school knife hand in the front row in a perfect arc, and shot the archers who were constantly shooting in the back formation.

The distance between the two armies was only a few tens of meters, arrows flew in the air, and the officers and men of the two armies were killed and wounded each other.

But Le Jin came out with more than 100 cavalry, replaced the bow and arrow in his hand with a spear, and rushed towards the Xuzhou soldiers, as if he wanted to use the collision force of the horses to break through a bloody road.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately guessed Le Jin's intentions, and shouted loudly: "Spearmen array!" ”

At the sound of the order, the spear-armed soldiers immediately moved forward, and the archers quickly separated, gathering to the left and right, but did not retreat, relying on the abandoned walls as cover, and occasionally shooting at the rushing Cao soldiers.

The pikemen in the neat row stopped unhurriedly, the spearmen in the first row quickly flattened the spears in their hands, and aimed the tips of their spears at the Cao cavalry who were about to rush, the second row was tilted forward forty-five degrees, the third row was tilted forward sixty degrees, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth rows were all ready to fill the vacancy at any time.

The school knife man crouched in front of the spearmen, shielding his body with one hand and holding his sword in the other.

Le Jin saw that the spears in front of him were like a forest, and the Xuzhou soldiers were even more defensive like an iron wall, his brows couldn't help frowning, so if he rushed over with the cavalry, wouldn't it be a suicide?

"Whoosh ......"

The arrows in the air were still flying, Le Jin used the iron gun to pull away many arrows, and he was about to hit the spear array like a forest, but he suddenly reined in the horse, hurriedly turned the horse's head, and shouted at his subordinates: "Retreat!" ”

The cavalry of the Cao army turned their horses one after another, and the infantry also turned back, and quickly returned to the place where the slap was big.

"General, the defense of the Xuzhou soldiers is too tight, and the formation of spears is just right to restrain the cavalry, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the last general ordered to retreat, and asked the general to forgive the last general's incompetence!" Le came in front of Cao Ren and knelt down.

"You're doing the right thing, get up." Cao Ren didn't have any intention of reproaching Le Jin, and said in a calm tone.

However, Cao Ren frowned, and thought to himself: "In just a few months, Zhang Yan was able to train such an army with both offense and defense, which is really beyond my expectations......

At this moment, he heard the movement of the Xuzhou soldiers outside, he stood on the high wall, showed his head and took a look, but saw that the Xuzhou soldiers were actively mobilizing, and more and more Xuzhou soldiers gathered here to enclose the place.

Cao Ren sighed lightly and said slowly: "If it is light today, the Xuzhou soldiers have come over again, and they have lost the opportunity to break through, I am afraid that if they want to break through again, it will be even more difficult......
