Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1036 Iron Wall Cao Ren
After several rounds of arrow rain, many of the dark shadows on the opposite side of the sea of ​​fire fell, but the remaining people still stubbornly tried to fight their way out.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Zhang He shouted loudly and took the initiative to lead the halberd soldiers to guard Liu He. Liu He still stood on his horse under the canopy, his eyes never leaving the sea of ​​fire in front of him.

No one was surprised at this, and no one thought that Liu He should take shelter for a while.

Because they knew that His Majesty had set such a trap and even used his own valuable body as bait, how could they leave at the last moment and miss the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the final victory?
Zhang Yong, who led his troops to besiege Taolin, immediately led part of his troops to attack after learning the news.

However, just after he took away this group of soldiers, Cao Cao and others quickly launched a breakout offensive.

"Only by breaking out of the encirclement can we have a chance of survival. Success or failure depends on this one move. Charge..."

This time Cao Cao really charged into the front in person, but the difference from the past was that his Qinggang sword had been taken away by Cao Hong, and he did not bring the Yitian sword this time, so he could only take out a spear as a weapon.

He and generals such as Xiahou Yuan led 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, who were defeated but had red eyes and were howling loudly, and launched a brazen offensive.

The Han army responsible for the siege outside obviously did not expect that the enemy would have the courage to break out. In addition, half of their troops had been withdrawn, so they were caught off guard and were quickly killed by Cao's army.

This sea of ​​fire looks very terrifying, but after all, it has just started not long ago and has not yet spread all over the place. It is just a scare tactic. If these tens of thousands of people are really determined to rush out, they can do it at the cost of at most one or two thousand people being burned to death.

"Kill out..."

Cao Cao raised his arms and shouted, then charged to the front and chopped down a Han soldier with a wave of his hand.

With the lord acting like this, the soldiers naturally fought bravely and no one was afraid to fight and retreat.

A total of thirty to forty thousand soldiers and horses suddenly launched a surprise attack on this corner. There were only seven or eight thousand people in charge of this encirclement. Even though there were about a thousand Golden Sword Battalionmen among them, how could they resist?
In a short while, the encirclement was torn open by Cao's army.

But how could such a huge movement and change be hidden from Liu He? Just as Cao Cao rushed out a short distance, a soldier came running to report in a panic.

The generals were shocked: "The Cao bandits are still fighting here, who led the remaining troops to break through?"

Liu He did not seem surprised. "The one who broke through must be Cao Cao himself, and this guy over here must be Cao Hong. He is the only one in the enemy army who looks like Cao Cao. If he were wearing his armor, we would have no way of telling him apart in this situation."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Cheng Liang was the most anxious: "We must not let Cao escape. I will go after him."

He shouted and led his army to chase after them.

"Third brother, there is no need to chase."

Liu He called him.

"Why? We finally forced Cao into a desperate situation, and you just let him go?" Cheng Liang looked unwilling.

Liu He was not concerned. "Who is Cao? He still has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers. If he can break through, he must have some tricks up his sleeve. If you chase him now, you will definitely fall into his ambush. Our army has won a great victory this time, which has seriously hurt Cao. Why bother yourself?"

"But..." Cheng Liang looked at the fire in front of him, feeling a little indignant.

Zhang Yong knelt down in front of Liu He and said, "It was all because of my incompetence that I fell into Cao's trap and transferred half of the troops away, which allowed him to escape. Your Majesty, please punish me."

Liu He waved his hand and said, "Don't blame your fourth brother for this. Cao is just not doomed yet. Even so, he is still alive. It won't take a few days for me to defeat him on the battlefield. Then I will sweep out the army and take back the lands of Yu and Jing."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone knelt down in worship.

"Your Majesty..." Xun You moved closer to Liu He.

"Cao Cao has left Cao Ren in the main camp, with 50,000 elite soldiers, and the generals of Jingzhou are also guarding the camp together. I'm afraid General Gao Shun will find it difficult to capture the city for the time being. Now Cao has led his army to break through and return to the main camp. If we are attacked from both sides, I'm afraid General Gao will be in danger. It's better to recall him as soon as possible."

Liu He handed the Yangming Poni Zhan to the personal soldiers beside him and said casually, "Approved. Send someone to quickly tell Gao Shun to withdraw to Hulao Pass. My dear ministers, you have worked hard all night, so you can also go back to the pass to rest."

"According to the order."

While Liu He's army was cleaning up the mess in front of them, beheading Cao's army and capturing them, a fierce battle was going on in Cao's camp. Cao Ren stood on a high platform in the camp, seemingly in command, but his forehead was already covered with sweat, and his lips were beginning to turn pale due to long-term fatigue.

At the entrance of the camp, there were several camp fences that had already been breached. The generals of Jingzhou were fighting desperately against the offensive of the Han army.

The Cao camp, which had been impregnable not long ago, was now in ruins. Fires were everywhere in the camp, and the fences had at least twenty or thirty broken places. At the gate, no less than ten thousand Han troops had poured in. Although under Cao Ren's command, teams of shield soldiers and crossbowmen cooperated to temporarily block the Han army from continuing to attack the camp, the enemy's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, and they were afraid that they would not be able to hold on for too long.

Cai Mao was fighting in a place where the fence was broken. He was not paying attention and was stabbed in the right shoulder by a Han soldier with a spear.

"Ah……"

He swung his sword to cut off the opponent's spear, and then he kept retreating backwards.

"General..." Zhang Yun, his deputy general, hurried over and supported him.

"It's okay..." Cai Mao pulled out the head of the spear.

"The wound wasn't deep enough to kill me."

Zhang Yun said worriedly, "Not long after the lord left, Gao Shun suddenly came. It seems that Liu He's surprise attack was not the last one. Gao Shun's attack was the last one. I'm afraid that the lord has already..."

He didn't continue speaking, but Cai Mao had already understood the meaning behind his words.

"You mean..."

Zhang Yun nodded and said, "Our Jingzhou sect has been suspected by the Lord for a long time. Now that Cao Gong's situation is over, why don't we make plans early? It will be better than the fate of having all nine clans exterminated, right?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Mao fell into deep thought for a moment, and at this moment, a wave of crossbow arrows suddenly flew high from the rear of the enemy army. Cai Mao was shocked and did not bother to think about anything else. He hurriedly pulled Zhang Yun back.

"Puff puff……"

With one round of crossbow arrows, hundreds of Cao's soldiers were killed on the spot.

Gao Shun stood about three hundred steps outside the village gate, his expression was very calm, and whenever he issued military orders, he was extremely calm, like a calm and composed man.

Cao Ren, however, was already exhausted and it looked like he would fall off the platform at any moment.

"General, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's difficult to win this battle. The lord may have already died. Why should you stay here and hold on? It's better to lead the army and quickly withdraw to Yuzhou. We can hold on to the dangerous place and maybe we can make a comeback."

A general tried to persuade him.

Cao Ren glanced at him and said, "You mean, abandoning the camp, abandoning the lord, and escaping for your own life is the most important thing?"

The general got goosebumps all over his body after being stared at by him, and he quickly knelt on the ground.

"I...I have absolutely no such intention, but...but..."

Before he could finish, Cao Ren shouted coldly, "Come here, drag this thief who disturbed the morale of the army away and behead him in public."

"Ah... General, please spare me, General, please spare me..."

Cao Ren stared at Gao Shun with his eyes fixed. Even though he was filled with rage, he forced himself to suppress it so as not to let the rage sweep away his reason.

"Meng De... I believe you will never die so easily. As long as I, Cao Ren, am alive, I will defend this camp until you come back..."

"System prompt: Cao Ren has mastered a new skill - Iron Wall: When engaged in defensive battles, his command is increased by 3 points, and his force and intelligence are increased by 2 points each."

"Cao Ren's basic command is 88 points, basic strength is 91 points, basic intelligence is 88 points, weapons and armor increase strength by 2 points. His current comprehensive command is 91, comprehensive strength is 95, and comprehensive intelligence is 90 points."
