Xu Huang raised his ax and Cao Ren raised his sword, attacking from both sides.
Yu Jin and Li Dian shouted in unison and attacked on both sides.
The four generals of Cao Ying did not hesitate to take advantage of their reputation and resorted to siege methods, hoping to capture Yan Liang by relying on their numbers and strength.
Yan Liang, who was under heavy siege, not only showed no fear, but actually laughed wildly.
The laughter was filled with arrogant and disdainful self-confidence, as if the enemies around him were all bastards and no one worth fearing.
Amidst the wild laughter, the power on Yan Liang's sword suddenly increased several times, and he swung it in all directions, swinging out of the iron curtain and attacking the four generals.
For a moment, the sword shadows like a violent storm came one after another, suppressing the siege of the four generals, forcing the four of them to struggle to deal with it.
Facing Yan Liang's violent offensive, the four generals were all extremely horrified. They were all shocked by how powerful Yan Liang's martial arts was. Not only were the four of them unable to attack, but Yan Liang alone gained the upper hand.
In the minds of the four of them, in a daze, they seemed to see the figure of Lu Bu again.
At that time, Lu Bu single-handedly fought against the six generals of Cao's camp, and he was unstoppable.
Today, Yan Liang fought one against four, and once again used his super martial arts to humiliate their dignity.
In shock, the hearts of Cao Ren and the four others were filled with endless shame and anger.
It seems that the four of them are all veteran generals who have followed Cao Cao in east and west campaigns for many years. After fighting for half their lives, they have become famous generals.
But now, they who claim to be famous generals were defeated by Yan Liang's army. With the combined strength of the four of them, they were actually suppressed by Yan Liang alone.
This is a humiliation and an insult to the dignity of their famous generals.
In anger, the four generals became furious and tried their best to fight Yan Liang to the death.
Although the martial arts of these four generals are not the best in the world, their strength is still between the first and second rate. The four of them working together is extraordinary.
After more than ten moves, Yan Liang gradually felt the pressure doubled, and his violent tendencies were gradually suppressed. The four people seemed to be gradually regaining control of the situation.
If the battle continues for such a long time, Yan Liang's situation will be really dangerous and unpredictable.
However, perhaps due to the time travel, Yan Liang's body has undergone subtle changes. After duels with strong opponents such as Guan Yu and Ma Chao, Yan Liang has been trained to the state of being strong when encountering the strong.
Faced with the powerful siege of the four generals, Yan Liang exerted all his power, and the attack with the long sword in his hand did not slow down at all. After more than thirty moves, he was evenly matched with the four generals.
Yan Liang is calm and unhurried, his figure is like an iron tower, standing tall among the enemies, and he has the air of a king.
But the four generals who were besieging them became increasingly anxious, with large beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads.
The siege of Yan Liang was enough to put them to shame, but the collapse of the surrounding troops and the influx of Yan's soldiers like a tide made them even more uneasy.
They knew that their defeat was certain, and if they continued to be entangled like this, they would be surrounded by thousands of troops from the Yan family.
At that time, they who could not stop besieging Yan Liang would face the situation of being counterattacked and killed by Yan Liang's army.
After more than ten battles, Yan Liang could not defeat Yan Liang. Yu Jin and other three generals were already timid and wanted to retreat.
However, the generals did not dare to retreat without Cao Ren's order, and could only continue to fight Yan Liang desperately.
The thunderous shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and countless Yan Jun's infantry and cavalry came from all directions.
In the chaos of the army, I heard someone shouting: "Brother Yi, I'm here to help you -"
Xu Huang and others glanced over in search of the sound, and were surprised to see that the person who had been patted and killed was none other than Wen Chou.
The four generals in Cao's camp were all shocked.
In the previous battle, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang couldn't defeat Wen Chou together, and now the four of them couldn't defeat Yan Liang together, let alone Wen Chou.
In panic, Yu Jin shouted: "General Zixiao, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. We must not be willing to fight anymore. Please retreat."
When Yu Jin screamed, he immediately jumped out of the battle group without waiting for Cao Ren's order, turned his horse and retreated.
Cao Ren was still hesitating whether he should withdraw, but Yu Jin took the lead and left, causing the remaining three people to be in disarray. In the blink of an eye, they were attacked by Yan Liang and were at a loss.
"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops and return to camp——"
Cao Ren couldn't resist anymore, so he made a few false attacks and turned his horse away. Xu Huang and Li Dian didn't dare to fight anymore, they both turned their horses and fled.
By the time Wen Chou rode his horse to kill them, the four generals of the Cao family had already collapsed in the face of the wind.
The four enemy generals in the battle group, Yan Liang, stood with their swords drawn, majestic like a god general, which only frightened the remaining Cao troops.
At this time, Huang Zhong also rode in with his troops, and Yan Liang joined the two groups of troops to pursue and kill the defeated Cao army.
…
Northwest of Li City, Cao Jun’s camp is located.
At this time, Cao Cao, still fully clothed, was stationed in the camp, looking coldly at the enemy camp to the east.
Along the line of the camp fence, more than 10,000 Cao soldiers were fully armed. Lin Lie looked solemn, as if facing a powerful enemy.
Cao Cao and his army had been stationed like this for most of the night.
According to Guo Jia's plan, Yan Liang mistakenly thought that he would mobilize all his troops and go to the north of Li City to support Zhang Liao's troops in breaking out. He would take advantage of the opportunity to attack the camp.
For this reason, Cao Cao assigned half of the 30,000-strong army to Commander Cao Ren and ordered him to go south to cooperate with Zhang Liao in breaking out, killing Yan Liang by surprise.
Cao Cao himself put the remaining 15,000 troops in a tight formation, preparing to give Yan Liang a head-on blow when he attacked the camp.
It can not only rescue Zhang Liao, but also give Yan Liang a double blow. Although it may not be able to destroy Yan Liang, Cao Cao can still rely on the momentum of victory and return to Guanzhong in glory.
In Cao Cao's view, this is almost a perfect strategy.
However, in the night wind, Cao Cao and his soldiers waited for several hours. Now that the sky was getting brighter, Yan Liang still did not come to attack.
Cao Cao's confident and calm face had a faint look of anxiety.
"Perhaps Yan Liang just fell into the trap and his troops were transferred to the north, and he did not intend to divide his troops to attack my camp."
Guo Jia, who was standing next to him, saw what was on Cao Cao's mind and spoke to comfort him.
Cao Cao nodded slightly. He had to admit that it was very possible. However, even if Yan Liang did not come to attack the camp, even if Yan Liang only suffered a defeat, his carefully laid plan could still be regarded as a success.
Cao Cao calmed down and remained confident. He just looked ahead with his head raised and continued to wait patiently for Yan Liang to take the bait.
Unknowingly, the sky was already bright, and the rising sun illuminated the entire camp, but it cast a dark shadow on Cao Cao's heart.
The sky has become clear, and it seems that Yan Liang will definitely not come to attack the camp. Now all Cao Cao can do is to wait for Cao Ren and the others' triumphant return.
Not long after, the sentry on the tower shouted: "This is General Zixiao's flag. General Zixiao and his friends are back."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief. A smile finally appeared on his tense face.
"Let's go and welcome Zixiao and the others back in victory."
Cao Cao was in a great mood and rode his horse slowly towards the south of the camp. He led Guo Jia and other civil and military personnel left behind to meet Cao Ren's troops who were fighting at night.
Cao Cao stood at the gate of the camp, stroking his beard and looking south with a smile from a distance.
As far as the eye could see, there was a huge cloud of dust, and a group of soldiers and horses were rushing towards the camp.
The visitors were indeed his own soldiers and horses, but as the soldiers and horses approached, Cao Cao's originally proud face gradually turned suspicious.
You must know that he sent out nearly 15,000 troops, but the number of troops that returned was only less than 3,000 or 4,000.
"Isn't it possible that the second horse is still behind?" A voice explained in Cao Cao's mind.
But after a while, the suspicion on Cao Cao's face not only did not disappear, but instead became serious.
Because he could clearly see that the returning troops were not only small in number, but also had broken flags and irregular shapes, giving the appearance of a defeated army fleeing.
Seeing this, not only Cao Cao, but also the waiting soldiers in Cao Ying's camp all changed their looks.
Even Guo Jia's originally confident face suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
In an instant, soldiers and horses rushed forward. Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Li Dian and other generals came forward in disgrace. Every step closer gave Cao Cao a frightening and ominous premonition.
Cao Ren, covered in blood, got off his horse, stepped forward sadly, and said: "Ren and others are incompetent and returned in defeat. Please punish me, Prime Minister."
The four generals Xu Huang, Li Dian, Yu Jin, and Le Jin all knelt down in front of them. They all looked ashamed and begged Cao Cao to punish him.
At this moment, Cao Cao was so frightened that he could hardly believe his ears.
Seeing the defeated generals, Cao Cao could only suppress his shaking mind and shouted sternly: "What happened? How did you end up defeated?"
Cao Ren then lowered his head and silently recounted how Yan Liang was prepared to use his repeated crossbows to repel his advance, how he came out in three directions to defeat his army, and how he defeated four with one against four, creating an unstoppable force.
The facts were all told to Cao Cao truthfully.
The people around Cao Jun, both civil and military, who were listening, all changed their faces in shock, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
When they heard that Yan Liang was invincible despite being one against four, they were so horrified that they gasped, as if they were hearing a legend like a god.
As for Guo Jia, who single-handedly planned this strategy, his face was pale, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. His whole mind seemed to be in chaos, unable to accept the cruel fact that his strategy was thwarted by Yan Liang again.
As for Cao Cao, his face was ashen, and the horrified expression in his eyes faded and disappeared.
Every word Cao Ren spoke was like a knife, cutting deeply into the heart of the Han Prime Minister. The unforgettable pain almost made Cao Cao unable to breathe.
"Yan Liang——Yan Liang——"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and repeated the name that disgusted him so much.
Cao Cao, who was so filled with hatred, felt dizzy, his body swayed, and he seemed to have fainted.
"Prime Minister!"
Cao Ren and others were shocked, and a group of people rushed forward to help Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took several deep breaths and finally regained his composure.
"Prime Minister, Yan Liang's dog thief just won by chance. Ren Yuan will raise another army to break through the enemy camp and rescue Wen Yuan and Zi He."
Cao Ren was ashamed and angrily asked for a fight.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a scout on horseback galloping towards him, shouting: "Prime Minister, there is a large-scale attack by Yan's army from the direction of the main camp!"
Upon hearing the news, everyone in Cao's camp was shocked. To be continued.
