Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 318: Zhuge Liang's Feather Fan and Royal Scarf, Zhao Zilong's Army Takes the Leader

The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, on the Longyan Terrace.

Cao Ren had been closely following the movements of the Han army. When he saw the Han army's troops begin to move out, he was suddenly startled.

"coming!"

Without any hesitation, Cao Ren immediately gave orders, asking the generals guarding the gates to be on high alert and ready to meet the joint charge of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun at any time.

But when he saw clearly the number of enemy troops, he couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

In the past, the Han army had to send at least several thousand people to charge the enemy, but this time the number of people charging was estimated to be no more than a thousand.

In addition, the general leading the troops was not Lu Bu, but a young general he had never seen before, wearing a white robe and silver armor, holding an iron spear.

"White robe and silver armor... Could this person be Zhao Yun?"

Cao Ren frowned. He remembered that this was the description in the intelligence sent back yesterday. The man in front of him must be Zhao Yun.

But why didn't Zhao Yun join forces with Lu Bu to charge, but instead charged alone with only a thousand men?

For a moment, Cao Ren’s mind was full of thoughts.

He glanced at the large Han army that was still standing still not far away, and at Lu Bu who was eyeing the formation covetously, and his eyes turned cold.

"You want Zhao Yun to charge into the battle formation first to disrupt it, and then have Lu Bu attack... Humph, that's a good plan."

"But how can my Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation be disrupted so easily?"

Cao Ren snorted coldly. Even if Zhao Yun's martial arts were good, he could not reach Lu Bu's level. That kind of monster was unique in the world.

If Zhao Yun dares to lead a thousand men to charge into the battle, he can make them never return!
Just when Cao Ren was about to order the soldiers at the Death Gate to prepare to meet the enemy, he discovered that Zhao Yun had no intention of charging into the Death Gate. Instead, he made a half circle and headed towards the Life Gate in the southeast direction.

Seeing this scene, Cao Ren's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the Han army formation in the distance again, his eyes becoming more serious.

The Life Gate is the weak point of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

In the previous times, Lu Bu charged towards the gate of death, but this time Zhao Yun chose to charge towards the gate of life, which shows that there must be an expert who understands the art of Qimen guiding him.

"It's a little troublesome, but that's all..."

Cao Ren put away all the contempt in his heart, and after calming himself down a little, he began to direct the operation of the formation.

Although the Life Gate is the weakness of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, it is only slightly weaker than the other seven gates. Everything still depends on the outcome of the fight.

The outcome is still unknown.

At this moment, Zhao Yun had already led a thousand brave soldiers and charged in from the Shengmen Gate, engaging in a fierce battle with the enemy.

The Huben Army consists of only 3,000 soldiers, but they are the elite among the elite, with equipment and qualities far superior to those of ordinary soldiers.

Although there are only a thousand people at the moment, they showed extremely strong fighting power after breaking into the enemy's formation. They easily broke through a large hole in the enemy's formation and rushed into the formation.

In front of the Han army.

Seeing Zhao Yun charge into the battle array easily, Lu Bu couldn't help but wonder, "Why do I feel like the enemy has become weaker? Or is Zilong too brave?"

He remembered that it was not so easy for him to charge into the formation before.

But Zhao Yun rushed in immediately!

Zhuge Liang smiled and waved his feather fan, "It's not that the enemy has become weaker, nor is it that General Zilong is more courageous than Lord Wen, but the defensive power of the Shengmen Gate is not as strong as the other seven gates."

"The role of the Shengmen is to coordinate and operate the entire formation. This means that the Shengmen cannot deploy heavy troops like the other seven gates. Otherwise, the entire Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation will not be able to change flexibly."

"Of course, the main reason is that the commander in charge of this formation is not well-trained and has only glimpsed the surface of Qimen Bagua."

"It is precisely because of this that General Zilong was able to rush into the formation so easily. All he needs to do next is to kill all the flag officers in the formation and then fight his way out from Jingmen, and the formation will be broken."

After hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help swallowing.

I was completely convinced in my heart.

The enemy formation that had blocked his way for a long time, he only needed to change his position and charge into it with half the effort...

For the first time in his life, Lu Bu realized the benefits of reading a lot.

Sima Yi was also silent at this time.

In Zhuge Liang's eyes, Cao Ren had only gained a superficial understanding of the art and was considered to be unskilled.

He knew that he could not compare with Zhuge Liang this time. His few simple words of advice were better than his more than ten days of research. This was the gap.

In the Cao army formation.

A steady stream of enemy troops surrounded Zhao Yun and his thousand Tiger Guards, trying to trap them in the formation, divide them and then slowly kill them.

But the strength of the Tiger Guards was beyond their imagination.

Even when surrounded, the Huben Army's formation did not become disorganized at all, and they displayed great discipline and coordination in the face of Cao's siege.

They cooperated with each other very well, killing Cao's soldiers one by one with their swords, and followed Zhao Yun closely, accompanying him as he went deep into the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

But in this chaotic battlefield.

The most eye-catching one is Zhao Yun!
Holding a silver spear and riding a white horse, he charged freely into the midst of thousands of troops. All by himself, he made it impossible for the surrounding Cao army soldiers to resist.

Nearly a hundred soldiers have died at the hands of his silver spear!

Cao Ren saw that Zhao Yun was charging too fiercely, so he ordered, "Cao Zhen, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, the three of you go and surround and kill Zhao Yun!"

He didn't dare to send out eight people at the same time as before, because Lu Bu had not entered the formation and he needed to be on guard.

"Order!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately went to fight.

Zhao Yun was killing with great pleasure at this time, when he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him. He bent down and lowered his head. At the same time, a sharp arrow flew past his helmet.

Then he turned his head and looked behind him, and saw three enemy generals rushing towards him. One of them had a bow and arrow in his hand. It was obvious that the arrow just shot was shot by this person!
"mean!"

Zhao Yun was furious. Although it was difficult to defend against hidden arrows on the battlefield, it was a cowardly act for a general to do such a thing as a sneak attack from behind!

He immediately turned his horse around to face the three people!
Seeing Zhao Yun coming with murderous intent, Xu Huang became extremely alert and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yun is very brave, not much inferior to Lu Bu, so be careful!"

"Let's join forces to fight him!"

Cao Zhen and Yu Jin nodded heavily, and under the leadership of Xu Huang, the three of them soon fought fiercely with Zhao Yun!
Although they have been fighting for a long time since the charge, Zhao Yun still does not show any sign of fatigue. Instead, he becomes more and more courageous, and his moves become more and more fierce and fierce!
After just one fight, Xu Huang and the other two felt tremendous pressure. It was a completely different feeling from fighting against Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu is a tiger descending from the mountains, with his brutal strength that is astonishing and unmatched; then Zhao Yun is a dragon emerging from the sea, with his moves and techniques extremely superb.

The attack is like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves!

The two sides fought for only about fifty rounds, and the three were beaten back step by step. They had to avoid Zhao Yun's edge and temporarily retreat back to the formation.

"General, Zhao Yun is too strong. We can't match him!" Xu Huang reported to Cao Ren breathlessly.

There was a bloodstain on his face, left by Zhao Yun's accidental stabbing. If he hadn't dodged in time, the shot would not only have cut his cheek, but would have directly pierced his head!
Cao Zhen and Yu Jin were also injured. An opponent like Zhao Yun who was good at group battles was not much easier to deal with than Lu Bu. All three of them suffered great losses.

"This Zhao Yun is so brave?!"

Cao Ren was greatly shocked. He looked at Zhao Yun, whose white robe had turned blood red as he charged into the midst of thousands of soldiers, and his eyes flickered.

Several flag officers have already been killed by Zhao Yun. If Zhao Yun is not stopped, the consequences will be disastrous!
"The three of you go replace Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Shang. Have them mobilize the troops from the Jingmen, Shangmen, and Xiumen to continue blocking Zhao Yun!"

After all, Cao Ren did not dare to ignore the threat posed by Lu Bu.

He decided to use a rotation battle to deplete Zhao Yun's strength!

Xu Huang and the other two took the order and retreated.

Soon, the formation of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation changed, and the Jing Gate, Shang Gate, and Xiu Gate were opened at the same time. Xiahou Yuan and the other two rushed towards Zhao Yun again!
In front of the Han army.

When Lu Bu saw this, he immediately became uneasy and said to Zhuge Liang anxiously, "Why don't you send troops now?"

"Zilong's offensive has been blocked, and the Tiger Guards have suffered heavy casualties. If this continues, they will surely be trapped and killed in the enemy's formation!"

Zhao Yun is not him, and now he is deep in the enemy camp with only a thousand men around him. He can't retreat even if he wants to!
"Don't move."

Zhuge Liang remained calm, shook his head slightly and said, "The time is not right, don't act impulsively."

Lu Bu was extremely anxious when he heard this.

He gripped the reins tightly in his hands and made up his mind that if Zhao Yun showed signs of fatigue and defeat, he would immediately rush to his aid!

In the eight-door golden lock array.

Faced with the interception led by Xiahou Yuan and his two men, Zhao Yun also felt the pressure doubled. At the same time, the Hu Ben Army was facing more and more enemies.

The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation kept turning. They were not facing a single soldier, but a fight with every person in the formation. Each person would take one move at a time, and this cycle went on over and over again. Even the Tiger Guards could not withstand such a long battle.

"No, we need to get out of Jingmen quickly!"

While fighting, Zhao Yun calmly analyzed and assessed the situation in his mind, his eyes fixed on the flag officer at Jingmen who was constantly conveying orders and directing Cao's army.

It is also his ultimate goal of this charge!
With one spear, Zhao Yun swept away Xiahou Yuan and his two companions. He then left the Tiger Guards behind him and rode his horse alone to kill the flag officer!
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and its footsteps are as fast as a shooting star!
Cao Ren saw through Zhao Yun's intentions. When he saw him heading straight for the general flag officer, he was immediately horrified and shouted quickly, "Stop him! Stop him quickly!"

Rows of shield soldiers stepped forward to guard the flag officer.

Zhao Yun looked at the iron-clad defense in front of him, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest. He stepped heavily on the horse's back and jumped high.

He actually skipped over the front row of defense.

He sacrificed his life and horse to kill the general flag officer!
This leap caught everyone off guard!
Zhao Yun fell like a meteor, and before anyone could react, he pierced the general's chest with a gun and killed him on the spot!

“Break the formation——!”

Zhao Yun rode on the general flag officer's platform and raised his arms and shouted angrily!

Like a dragon roaring!

His whole body was stained red with blood, but at this moment his demeanor was as dazzling as the sun, and the sharp spirit he displayed was even more heart-swaying!
Everyone was stunned by this scene.

Take the lead among all the armies!

This is one of the three top merits on the battlefield, along with being the first to climb the mountain and beheading the flag. Zhao Yun actually achieved this in a desperate situation!
"mighty--!"

Thunderous cheers broke out in the Han army. At this moment, the morale of the army instantly reached its peak!
Nothing can boost morale on the battlefield more than taking the head of an army. Just think about when Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan, he lost the first battle because he was defeated by Zhao Yun who killed Wen Chou in battle.

The Han army had been blocked by Cao's army for many days. All the resentment accumulated over the past few days was released the moment Zhao Yun killed the enemy's flag-gatherer!
"Mr. Wen, the time has come!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes sparkled, and he swung his feather fan heavily at Cao's army, shouting in a deep voice: "All troops, attack and annihilate the enemy!"

"kill--!"

Lu Bu responded to Zhuge Liang with just one word, simple but full of soaring fighting spirit and murderous intent!
His halberd has been thirsty for a long time!

Lu Bu led the Bingzhou cavalry and took the lead, with more than 25,000 troops behind him, rushing towards Cao's army!

In the Cao army formation.

Cao Ren looked at the enemy troops rushing towards him with an extremely ugly expression, filled with deep anger and unwillingness.

Many flag officers had been killed by Zhao Yun, and now even the chief flag officer was dead. The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation was no longer easy to mobilize and operate, and it was impossible to unite to resist the enemy.

Without the support of the formation, their current troops are simply unable to resist the Han army, which is full of high morale!

"The whole army retreats!"

Cao Ren gritted his teeth and gave an order that he could accept defeat, but the army must not be destroyed here.

But he had one more thing to do before retreating.

Cao Ren cast a resentful look at Zhao Yun, who was charging around in the pile of soldiers and trying to break out of the encirclement, and shouted angrily: "Don't let him escape, surround him and kill him here!"

It was a great honor for Zhao Yun to capture the first place among ten thousand soldiers.

But it was a shame for him!

How could he let the culprit who broke his formation and caused him to suffer the shame of defeat leave safely?

Under the order, Cao's army turned from the rear to the front and retreated towards Guandu, but Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang led their troops to surround and kill Zhao Yun!

"The thief will die!"

Cao Chun shouted loudly, and while Chao Yun was restrained by the surrounding soldiers, he shot him in the back with a spear!
But Zhao Yun had already been on guard against enemies coming from all sides. After dodging Cao Chun's attack, he grabbed his spear and used his arms to pull him off his horse.

But Cao Chun was able to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and his martial arts were already quite amazing; while Zhao Yun had been fighting for a long time and his strength had declined a lot.

So not only did he fail to pull Cao Chun down, but he was pulled by Cao Chun's backhand and staggered, leaving the goal wide open.

"kill him!"

When Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang saw that Zhao Yun had revealed a flaw, they would not let go of this opportunity and wanted to kill him right there!

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

The sound of three feather arrows breaking through the air was heard, and Xiahou Dun felt horrified. He reacted almost instinctively, flying over and knocking Xiahou Yuan to the ground!
Xu Huang was unable to dodge and was pierced directly through the right arm by a feather arrow. The severe pain made him unable to even hold the weapon in his hand, and the spear aimed at Zhao Yun naturally missed.

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Yun let go of Cao Chun's weapon, took a few steps back to create some distance, and then looked not far away.

Lu Bu was seen riding his horse towards him, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and he laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, Zilong. I'm here to help you!"
