Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 351

Zhao Yun selected hundreds of elites to line up in front, and Xu Shu asked people to carry out the wine stored in the army to strengthen their courage, and when they were ready, they entered the battle again through the Shengmen in the southeast corner.

The leader of the Bamen Golden Lock formation was temporarily replaced by Cai Ji. A few days ago, he served as Chen Zhao's deputy general in the formation, and his sudden promotion made him very excited.

Cai Ji watched Zhao Yun enter the battle. He commanded the formation to change step by step. The soldiers kept moving after receiving the military order, imagining insulting Zhao Yun a few more times, and then retreated back to the city for the morning shift.

Zhao Yun's formation-breaking team was mixed with infantry and cavalry. Zhao Yun got Xu Shu's instructions and ordered the soldiers to keep the formation and move with him, and secretly ordered the crossbowmen to hide in the team, so that they could shoot and kill the bannermen while they were marching.

If large formations want to quickly change formations, they will use command flags as the first choice for orders. Although Zhao Yun failed to create formations in the past few times, he found that there are blue flags in every gate. The only color that is so evenly distributed is the hunting target of archers. Just the blue flag bearer.

Zhao Yun followed Xu Shu's route and rushed into the formation, and found that there was no difficulty. In addition, the archers hit several standard bearers, and some of them were chaotic for a while when the new standard bearers took over.

The eight-door golden lock formation is constantly changing, and through the changes, the soldiers and horses entering the formation are cyclically blocked. The soldiers were led away by Zhao Yun during the movement. The two gates were pierced through one corner by Zhao Yun vertically.

When Zhao Yun came out from Zhengxi Jingmen, the Golden Lock Formation of Eight Gates had been smashed in chaos, and the soldiers and horses brought into the formation were basically undamaged.

Facing the ridicule of the Jingzhou soldiers, the defender Cai Ji's cheeks were hot, and he wanted to get into the mud right away. When he looked back, he found that Cao Ren and Niu Jin were gone in the city. Did the two generals think that their command was poor?
Huge pressure surged onto Cai Ji's forehead, and then beads of sweat burst out one by one.

At this time, Xu Shu marched with drums. He wanted to test Cao Ren's determination to defend the city. Zhao Yun, who had broken the formation, turned his horse's head and commanded the accompanying soldiers and horses to attack again.

"General Cai, it seems that the other party is going to attack the city from the south, so let's quickly retreat to the city?" Cai Ji's entourage hurriedly reminded.

There are only a thousand people in the eight-door golden lock formation, and without the defensive power of Dangyang City Wall, it cannot withstand the attack of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers.

Cai Ji nodded, "Okay, okay, go and call the city gate open, and I'll direct the defense."

"only."

Jingzhou soldiers stepped on the drums, shouted and ran forward. Zhao Yun's troops charged forward. Because they broke through the eight-door golden lock formation, the morale of the troops was far higher than before, and Cai Ji's soldiers couldn't resist it.

"Is the city gate open? We can't stop it anymore." Cai Ji asked anxiously as his attendants rushed over.

The attendant swallowed his saliva, "General, the last general just shouted for a long time, but no one in the city answered, and no one came to open the door, could it be?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Cai Ji turned his head with a frightened expression, because the archers on the city wall also disappeared. When did this happen?
From the moment Cao Ren replaced his nephew Chen Zhao, the troops outside the south gate had already been abandoned, because he wanted to transfer the baggage in Dangyang City, so he and Niu Jin gathered at the north gate ahead of time. Dangyang is important.

"What's wrong with the general?" the follower asked anxiously.

Cai Ji made a decisive decision: "General Zixiao should be worried that opening the city gate will allow the other party to sneak in, so hurry up and take everyone to the east to detour into the city."

"Wei." The entourage arranged immediately.

The sound of shouting and killing became more and more intense. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers and horses, Cai Ji waved his whip in a panic, first retreated, and then walked west with the whip.

But as soon as Cai Ji ran a few feet away, he realized that something was wrong, and the entourage who sent the order led many soldiers to chase after him.

"Didn't I tell you to run east? This is the west." Cai Ji was extremely surprised.

"The last general did send an order to go around eastward. I don't know why they caught up. I'm here to protect the general," he explained hastily.

Cai Ji was speechless. Originally, he wanted to sneak away by himself, because there were so few people, he would not be noticed. Now this fleeing team has long been targeted by Zhao Yun.

It's useless to talk, let's run.

The galloping and vigorous cavalry chased after them, covering and killing the panicked deserters along the way. Zhao Yun suddenly recalled the moment when he chased and killed Cao Jun. The sword was seized at Changbanpo, Dangyang.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun threw his gun on the side of the road, drew out the green sword at his waist, and rode his horse to kill the enemy, killing several generals in an instant.

When Cai Ji supported Ma Xiang and turned his head, he found that Zhao Yun had given up his long spear. He was one inch long and one inch stronger in the immediate battle. His eyes were wide open, and he finally made a decision.

Wealth and wealth are in danger, what can Zhao Yun without a gun do?Perhaps his chance to make a name for himself has come, Cai Ji swung the long knife in his hand and reined in his horse to go back.

The horse galloped fiercely under the warm sun, and Cai Ji raised his sword to slash Zhao Yun's back, but his strength and speed were not enough. With years of combat experience, Zhao Yun had already sensed the opponent the moment he raised the sword.

The moment the broadsword fell, Zhao Yun pressed one hand on the saddle, turned around and swung the sword strangely with the reverse thrust.

With a sound of jingling, the Qingzhi sword cut off Cai Ji's blade accurately, and then swung the sword forward with undiminished strength, only to see a cavity of hot blood gushing from his neck.

Cai Ji's head and broken blade fell to the ground at the same time. He had a chance to escape but died because of greed.

Looking at Cai Ji's attire and horses, Zhao Yun infers that this person should be a general, why can't he think about turning around and looking for death?Because the main general was beheaded, the rest of the Cao army saw that their companions were getting fewer and fewer, so they had no choice but to surrender on their knees and beg for mercy.

Seeing that there were almost no defenders on the south wall, Xu Shu judged that Cao Ren's attitude towards defending the city might be negative because of the attack on Xiangyang, so he ordered a strong attack from the south gate, while Zhao Yun led hundreds of soldiers to detour to the west gate.

Not long after Xu Shu entered Dangyang from the south gate, Zhao Yun also knocked on the west gate by surrendering troops, and then two groups of soldiers and horses fought street battles with the remnants of Dangyang City. Two hours later, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu joined forces in the center of the city.

"Did Zilong meet Cao Ren's main force?" Xu Shu asked when they met.

Zhao Yun shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

Xu Shu's left palm and right fist collided together, and he said sadly: "Cao Ren is really cunning and quick-witted. He deliberately used the eight-door golden lock array to delay time, and arranged dead men's street fighting in the city. It should be leaked by Yuan Jian when he made a detour." tracked."

"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Yun asked eagerly.

Xu Shu quickly said: "Cao Ren raised an elite cavalry, Yuan Jian only brought [-] soldiers to ambush, if impulsive blocking may be in danger, Zilong quickly led [-] soldiers to the north to meet them."

"As long as Cao Ren doesn't have a new formation to block the way, I will definitely bring Yuan Jian back to Dangyang intact." Zhao Yun clenched his fists.

After Cao Ren settled Dangyang's defense, he personally led the elite cavalry to open the way ahead. When he walked slowly for twenty miles, he didn't find anyone setting up an ambush at all.

Cao Ren stroked his beard and pondered. Was the group of soldiers moving eastward in the morning suspicious?Maybe not at all.
