Chapter 395 Seeing the Dragon in the Field

Li Xian was tall and big, and when he sat on his horse, he was half a head taller than Zhao Yun. His arms were incredibly long, and the spear he held was several feet longer than ordinary weapons on horseback.

He wore an extremely sophisticated armor and rode his horse forward, heading straight for Zhao Yun's camp, determined to knock Zhao Yun off his horse!

Seeing Li Xian rushing towards him, Zhao Yun shook his spear and rode forward to meet him. Seeing Zhao Yun rushing towards him, Li Xian shouted loudly and hit Zhao Yun on the head with the iron spear in his hand.

Zhao Yun raised the tip of his spear, just enough to block the opponent's spear head. When the weapons collided, Zhao Yun's spear suddenly sank downwards.

He frowned slightly. He used the opponent's spear as a stick not out of randomness, but relying on his great strength to block the force of Zhao Yun's spear, intending to compete with Zhao Yun in strength.

This Li Xian's martial arts skills are even higher than Hu Feng, whom he killed the day before!

The two men exchanged spears for more than ten moves in an instant. Seeing that he could not do anything to Zhao Yun, Li Xian took the opportunity to turn his horse's head, moved away more than ten feet, and rushed towards Zhao Yun again!

Zhao Yun saw that the enemy was coming at him fiercely and held the iron spear in front of him. He held the back of the spear shaft with his front hand and the end of the spear shaft with his back palm. He actually used a very rare attacking posture!

Li Xian was a typical Liangzhou military general, who grew up on horseback and was very experienced in cavalry assaults. When he attacked in such a posture, the entire ten-foot radius in front of Zhao Yun was covered by him, making it impossible for him to escape!

Moreover, he relied on the heavy armor he was wearing, so even if he and the opponent stabbed at the same time, he could use his own strength and weight to stab the opponent off his horse first!

Seeing this, Zhao Yun slowly put down his spear and rushed towards Li Xian!

When Li Xian saw this, he sneered in his heart. The opponent's spear was shorter than his. Was he trying to dodge his spear and then counterattack?

dream!

He roared, rode his horse and charged forward with his spear in hand!

Li Xian didn't notice that Zhao Yun hooked his right foot under the saddle, and an iron stirrup hidden under the saddle slipped down.

At that time, in the late Han Dynasty, stirrups had already appeared, but most of them were single-sided stirrups made of leather or wood, mainly used for mounting horses.

When cavalry charged, they often put one foot on the stirrup and leaned their other body against the high-bridge saddle to offset the impact.

This is what Li Xian did now. He stepped on the leather stirrup, held the saddle with one hand, and held a spear in the other. He and his horse were so powerful that he vowed to stab Zhao Yun to death!

The tip of his spear kept shaking, covering Zhao Yun's chest, but he found that the other party didn't even blink and came towards him!

He grinned grimly and said, "If you want to die, I will grant your wish!"

The two horses instantly closed to a distance of two meters. Li Xian roared and stabbed Zhao Yun's lower abdomen with the tip of his spear.

This position is the most difficult to dodge. If it's the chest or head, you can dodge it by swinging your body, but there is a saddle under your lower abdomen and you can't move at all.

Let me see how you hide!

The next moment, what shocked Li Xian was that Zhao Yun did not dodge or evade, but used his body to block the spear!

The moment the spear pierced Zhao Yun, Li Xian was overjoyed. Even if the opponent's armor could block it, he would be knocked off his horse by the huge impact force!

However, something happened that surprised Li Xian. His hand holding the end of the spear was repelled by the huge impact force and swung backwards involuntarily. But Zhao Yun was still sitting steadily on the horse, and the spear also stabbed towards Li Xian's lower abdomen!

Li Xian had no way to avoid it, and he could only grit his teeth and use his armor to block the opponent's spear. He thought to himself, since you can't fall off your horse, I can't fall off either!

The next moment, a huge impact force hit Li Xian's body, the leather stirrup under his feet broke instantly, and the whole person was pushed off the Gaoqiao saddle!

He was in the air, and only when he saw the position of the end of Zhao Yun's spear did he instantly understand.

The opponent actually put the butt of the gun against the saddle and took advantage of the impact force of the warhorse!

However, what puzzled Li Xian was that, that would have been fine, but why wasn't Zhao Yun stabbed away by his spear earlier?

He was in mid-air, his body turned around, and he caught a glimpse of the stirrup under Zhao Yun's feet, which was shining with cold light.

Shit, that's it

The next moment, Zhao Yun pointed out his spear and pierced Li Xian's throat.

When Li Xian fell to the ground, he had already turned into a corpse.

When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they all shouted.

The soldiers on Zhao Yun's side were delighted and full of admiration. The enemy general died as soon as they met him!

The soldiers from Liangzhou were in panic. Li Xian was a fierce general in the army, so he could be the vanguard, but he was killed so easily!

As a result, the Xiliang Army's intention to attack was greatly frustrated. The Liangzhou soldiers were in a panic and were about to return to their camp. How could Zhao Yun give them a chance? He waved his gun and ordered his soldiers to attack.

He felt the taste of blood in his mouth. Although he was wearing the most sophisticated double-layer iron armor made in Youzhou, he was still injured by the impact of the spear.

But this is also Zhao Yun's purpose, to exchange injury for life and to end the battle quickly!

He knew that something must have happened in the city, otherwise Cao Cao would not have set up a defensive formation. The faster Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated, the sooner he could return to the city.

Li Jue saw from afar that Zhao Yun had stabbed Li Xian to death. He was shocked and angry. He ordered the officers around him, "Give an order to Duan Wei in the rear army to immediately lead his entire army to attack the enemy's main camp!"

He knew that this was a critical moment. Duan Wei had quietly arrived with his troops last night and ambushed in the rear. Li Jue wanted him to be a surprise force and enter the battlefield to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.

But now that Li Xian has been killed, the attack along the way has been blocked, and they can only call Duan Wei to join the battle in advance!

Seeing the messenger galloping away, he felt relieved. He raised his halberd, pointed at Zhao Yun and cursed, "You shameless boy, you killed two of my generals, you deserve to die!"

It has to be said that the Xiliang army was easily overwhelmed. Their best choice at this time was to break through the Crane Wing Formation and attack Cao Cao's central army.

However, Cao Cao placed Yang Feng's army and Zhao Yun's army in the rear areas of the weak points on both sides, and entangled the Xiliang army after it broke through.

As a result, Li Jue and Guo Si targeted these two armies as their main targets, which made Cao Cao in the central army secretly happy. This way, the pressure on defending his two wings was greatly reduced, which was really an unexpected surprise.

While he was thinking, his face suddenly changed, because another army with the flag of Xiliang Army appeared in the distance and rushed into the battlefield. There was a big word "Duan" written on the flag!

Cao Cao was shocked. Why did Duan Wei come back?

At this time, after being breached, the two cavalry units of Cao Hong and Cao Chun did not turn back to rescue their own central army, but took advantage of the situation to make a circle and nibble away at the rear army of Li Jue and Guo Si.

This is the wonderful use of the Crane Wing Formation, but it also has its shortcomings. Now the vests of Cao Hong's cavalry are facing the newly-invaded Duan Wei army and are about to be dispersed!

Cao Cao was shocked and Li Jue was overjoyed. As long as Duan Wei defeated Cao Cao's cavalry, the three parties here would be able to surround Cao Cao's central army and defeat it completely!

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Duan Wei waved his hand and shouted, "Fight the rebellion by order of the emperor!"

"Whoever kills Li Jue and Guo Si will be granted the title of Marquis!"

Duan Wei's army shouted and split into two groups, and began to attack Li Jue and Guo Si's rear formation rapidly, and the Liangzhou army was immediately in chaos.

Seeing this, Li Jue was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He was tricked by Duan Wei!

He, like Yang Feng, Yang Ding and others, betrayed himself!

He shouted loudly: "Every one of them is a traitor!"

"How come there are so many ungrateful people in Liangzhou!"

"Kill! Kill them all!"

At this time, Zhao Yun rode his horse and held his spear, rushing towards Li Jue. As soon as the two sides fought, Li Jue felt something was wrong. The opponent was in high momentum and his martial arts were so high that he was difficult to resist!

Li Jue indulged in wine and women, and his martial arts had long since declined. However, Zhao Yun had been sparring with masters like Taishi Ci every day in the past two years and was at his peak. As one was gaining ground, the other was losing ground, and Li Jue immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, the officers around Li Jue rushed forward to rescue him. Zhao Yun was not afraid at all and fought in and out of the crowd. From time to time, Xiliang generals were shot and fell off their horses.

Cao Cao saw from afar that Zhao Yun's banner was charging left and right in the Xiliang army formation, as if he was in an empty space, and he couldn't help but sigh: "If I can get this man, there will be no worries about not being able to accomplish great things!"

He thought to himself that no matter what method he used, he would bring Zhao Yun under his command!

However, seeing that today was surprisingly going smoothly, Cao Cao was overjoyed. Duan Wei had turned against them and cut off Li Jue and Guo Si's retreat, while Li Jue was entangled by Zhao Yun and Guo Si was entangled by Yang Feng and Xu Huang. The four of him were enough to control the overall situation, and the outcome outside the city had been decided!

He glanced at Lu Bu beside him. What surprised Cao Cao was that the other party had not said a word from the beginning of the battle until now, and just sat quietly on the horse.

Cao Cao persuaded Liu Xie in advance to let Lu Bu take charge of the central army in order to sideline Lu Bu and make it easier for him to act so that there would be no forces in the city that could resist him.

Because no one would have thought that he, who had always been humble and honest, wanted to capture everyone in the city in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel contented. The ones left in the city were Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, the two most capable people he knew. There shouldn't be any problems, right?

If the Baibo Army and Dong Cheng in the city are killed, there will be no one else around the emperor. Lu Bu is not to be feared. The emperor has always been suspicious of the Youzhou Army. Who else can compete with him for the throne?

As long as Zhang Liao's army guarding the east gate does not move. Thinking of this, Cao Cao had a bad premonition and stood up from his horse.

Lu Bu then turned his head and said sarcastically: "When the situation was critical just now, you were still calm and composed. Why are you so pale now?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Marquis Wen was joking. He was just worried that Li Jue and Guo Si might try to escape."

A fierce look flashed in his eyes. If it was really Zhang Liao's army, he would not be afraid. Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were leading elite soldiers. Could Zhang Liao alone really stop his two generals?

After hearing this, Lu Bu turned his head and thought that Ju Su had explained it clearly to him. Although the area outside the city was crucial in today's battle, the key point was still inside the city.

When welcoming the emperor, the focus is always the emperor. What if we lose the emperor and defeat Li Jue and Guo Si?

Cao Cao was indeed powerful. He had planned everything that might happen. If Yuan Xi had not made arrangements in advance, he would have been manipulated by Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu suddenly felt a little unsure, even fearful, about welcoming the emperor to Huaicheng.

This time he has the help of Youzhou's counselors and generals, but when he arrives in Huaicheng, can he really stop Cao Cao's plans on his own?

If the Huaicheng rebellion happens again, can I really escape with luck like last time?

Lu Bu fell into deep thought. He was not a fool. After experiencing so many things, he had already realized that with his own abilities, he could not compete with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and other princes.

Not to mention these princes, just looking at the recent events, his own subordinates are far inferior to Yuan Xi's subordinates in terms of strategy and loyalty!

With subordinates who may rebel at any time, even if he controls the emperor, who can he defeat?

By then, not to mention the soldiers under my command, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect my family. What should I do then?
