After Liu Bei's army reached all, the formation and terrain were perfectly combined, and it was round and blocked the way of Cao's army. The two sides faced each other and Zhao Yun came out and called the generals of Cao's army to answer.

——He is calling for a battle to fight alone with the enemy generals.

The conventional tactics of the Cold Weapon Period were divided into "fighting generals, fighting formations, fighting soldiers."

The first program is "Fighting Generals"!

Cao Ren may not be as good as Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun's brothers, but his ability to command the army is not worse than that of them. He rarely makes a move when fighting generals.

This time Cao Ren went to war, as the main general, he would naturally not be the first to fight, but he has heard of Zhao Yun's ability.

Cao Ren glanced at him with his eyes. Although his more than ten minor generals under him were good at martial arts, no one could escape from Zhao Yun's subordinates, namely the deputy general Li Dian, who could withstand for a while.

In order not to lose the spirit of the army, Cao Ren was dissatisfied with Li Dian, so he ordered him to go out and confront Zhao Yun.

Although Li Dian is not weak in martial arts, he can only be regarded as a second-rate general even in Cao's camp, and there is a big gap with Zhao Yun.

Fortunately, Li Dian is cautious and his martial arts are also good at defending. He does not seek merit, but seeks no mistakes, and keeps his guard at the door.

After more than ten rounds of battle, Zhao Yun's hand gradually increased, and each shot made Li Dian's arms numb, but on the surface it was still equal!

Li Dian knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to resist and still have the ability to escape now. If he doesn’t leave at this time, it will be difficult for him to leave when Zhao Yun uses his strength to use his strength!

So Li Dian sold a flaw, turned around and rode his horse and left, returning to Cao's army formation.

Zhao Yun rode his horse to chase him, and Cao's army's formation gate shot his foot. When Zhao Yun saw that he had no chance to open the formation gate, he turned around and returned to the formation. Both sides stopped their troops and returned to the camp.

Although Li Dian lost for a while, he didn't care at all. He returned to Cao Ren and said:

"Zhao Yun is brave, I am not his opponent! I see that Liu Bei's elite army has gained a favorable position and a harmonious place. We should not underestimate the enemy. It is better to retreat to Fancheng first and then make a decision!"

Cao Ren was thinking about how to defeat Liu Bei's thousands of mobs with his 20,000 army! Li Dian actually wanted to withdraw his troops himself, and he couldn't help but be furious and said to Li Dian:

"Before I have left the army, you will be in hindering our army's morale. Today, you are selling your formation again, thinking I can't see it? The crime should be beheaded!"

Cao Ren knew that Li Dianjiu had made many achievements with the Prime Minister, and he could not beat Zhao Yun. It was a fact that he could not defeat Zhao Yun. It was impossible for him to be a spy from Liu Bei!

But he was angry that Li Dian opposed him repeatedly, making his chief general unable to get out of the stage many times. This time he was determined to kill him with a mighty power, so he drank the sword and axe hand and pushed Li Dian out to kill him.

Cao Ren had no intention of killing Li Dian. Once the generals pleaded for mercy, he was exempted from the death penalty. However, in order to maintain the majesty of the chief general, Li Dian was still removed from the position of deputy general by him!

Cao Ren knew that Li Dian was safe, and in order not to see him, he directly transferred Li Dian to command the rear army and protect the food and grass. He led his troops to the front.

Cao Ren watched the formation of Liu Bei's army and the camp's location, and the terrain was excellent. If he attacked, it would be difficult to deploy a large number of troops. If he wanted to attack hard, not to mention the heavy casualties, it would be difficult to break even with the tactic of adding fuel.

Cao Ren thought, let's fight according to the rules! Tomorrow he set up a mysterious eight-gate golden lock formation. If Liu Bei fails to break the formation and he will follow the defeated soldiers and rush to the formation, he can break through Liu Bei's army's defense.

The first day of fighting against the generals, although there was no victory or defeat, Cao's army always had a disadvantage.

The next day, Cao Ren sang the drum and marched forward, personally led 500 elite soldiers, and formed a formation, causing people to shout in front of the formation and said:

"If you know my formation, who will fight with me?"

Cao Ren has been familiar with formations since he was a child and felt that his formation was already quite powerful, so he wanted to use the formation to bully Liu Bei's subordinates.

The reason why Cao Ren dared to do this was because Liu Bei had no powerful counselors around him and could not see through his formation. To be on the safe side, Cao Ren also chose the eight-door golden lock formation that was difficult and powerful.

Since Cao Ren started to set up the formation, Xu Shu was not idle. He had already reached a high place and carefully observed the changes in the formation. After observing the formation, he came down to Liu Bei and said:

"This is the eight gates of gold lock formation. It is difficult to arrange, but its power is not weak! The eight gates: Xiu, Sheng, Wu, Jing, Death, Shock, Open. If you want to break the formation, from Shengmen and Jingmen, open the door and enter, it will be auspicious; from the wound gate, Jingmen, Xiumen, and Xiumen, you will be injured; from Dumen, you will die and others will die. Although the eight gates are arranged neatly, they are just in the middle. If you enter from Shengmen in the southeast corner and rush out to the west Jingmen, the formation will be chaotic."

When Liu Bei heard this, he understood that this formation was not easy to break! He sent a command to ask Zhao Yun to come over, and Xu Shu explained in detail how to break the formation and knew about Zhao Yun.

Anyone who practices martial arts will cultivate both military tactics and military formations. Although Zhao Yun only knows the formations roughly, he does not need to know how to set up the formations, so he does not need to explain the formations in detail.

The Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation can be said to be a secret that is not passed on, and Xu Shu is not ready to teach it to Zhao Yun.

He just gave Zhao Yun a very simple guide to several directions and marching routes, as well as his response when encountering an enemy.

Soon, Zhao Yun remembered the method of breaking the formation. Liu Bei asked the soldiers to hold the corner of the formation and ordered Zhao Yun to lead the five hundred troops of his headquarters to enter from the southeast and go straight west.

Zhao Yun got the order and leaped his horse with his gun and led his troops to the southeast corner, leading his army to the central army shouting and rushing.

Cao Ren, who was waiting for the battle, saw that Zhao Yun was leaping on his horse and attacking, and did not respond to the battle, so he rushed north. Zhao Yun did not chase him, but broke out from the west gate and rushed up the southeast corner from the west.

Cao Ren's army was in chaos. As soon as the time came, Liu Bei's ability to seize the opportunity was not weak. Before Xu Shu could speak, he led his army to attack.

Cao Ren's five hundred soldiers and horse battle formation was defeated and retreated, turning over to the army behind him. Hearing Liu Bei's order to attack, his subordinates all fought for the first place and bravely moved forward!!

After chasing for only a hundred feet, Xu Shu urgently ordered the Jin to withdraw his troops. The generals stopped chasing and returned to his own army, but they all looked inquiring.

Xu Shu said, "Although Cao's army was defeated, it was purely a competition of the ability of generals to lead soldiers. Cao's army was ready for battle, but our army was less than 10,000 troops. In this narrow terrain, we were naturally not afraid of many people and many powerful people! If we chased to the open place and the two armies fought together, this was the intention of Cao Ren's battle formation. Cao Ren spent a lot of effort to set up the formation. If our army failed to break the formation, we would follow the defeated soldiers to rush forward. If our army successfully broke the formation, we would lead us to rush forward and then fight in a melee, our army would be outnumbered. The final winner must be Cao's army! Even if we can win, it would be a miserable victory. There are no more than half of the soldiers who were damaged in the battle. Cao's army, with a large number of people and powerful forces, may not care about such losses, but our army cannot afford it, so we can call the gold to withdraw the troops." All the generals were convinced.
