Chapter 698 Within the Palm of Your Hand

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of my way!"

Cao Ren's horse was very powerful, but it was still blocked by Jiangdong's army. He couldn't help but be furious.

He roared angrily, suddenly picked out the horse sword in his hand, and stabbed the neck of a Jiangdong soldier's sword and shield wielder with one blow. With a strong stroke, the Jiangdong soldier's head fell off immediately.

"Spearman, thrust, kill Cao Ren!" Xu Shengyuan saw Cao Ren rushing forward from behind, and his face immediately lit up. How could he miss this golden opportunity to kill Cao Ren?

"Kill Cao Ren!"

The spearmen all shouted loudly, and stabbed Cao Ren with seven or eight spears from up, down, left, and right, almost blocking Cao Ren's left and right sides, leaving no room for dodge.

Cao Ren looked horrified: Is it possible that this general will die here before he has made any achievements?

It can be said that Cao Ren's life should not have been cut off. His horse was stabbed in the thigh by a spear. In pain, he suddenly stood up, like a huge shield, blocking Cao Ren behind him.

Puff puff puff!

Seven or eight spears were pierced into the body of the war horse at the same time. Several Jiangdong Army spearmen shouted in unison, and with a strong thrust, they lifted the war horse directly into the air. Cao Ren exclaimed and fell to the ground.

With a clang, Cao Ren landed on his butt, his head tilted, and his helmet fell to the ground. He didn't care about the helmet anymore, and ran away with his hair disheveled.

"Colonel Captain! Please ride my horse." Niu Jin saw Cao Ren running away with disheveled hair. He rushed over, jumped off the horse and led the horse to Cao Ren.

Without saying a word, Cao Ren took Niu Jin's arm and climbed onto his horse. Niu Jin got on his spare horse, and Cao Ren regained some of his energy.

He looked intently and saw Cao Jun's cavalry crashing into the Jiangdong Army's formation. As a result, his head was bruised and bloody. Instead of being able to break through the Jiangdong Army's shield formation, he was killed heavily by the extended spear.

"Captain, we seem to be really trapped," Niu Jin swallowed and said bitterly.

"Don't worry."

Cao Ren took a deep breath and whispered: "As long as Gong Liu can launch a charge in time and cooperate with our army inside and outside, our army still has a chance to fight out."

Gong Liu, come on.

Shi Huan asked Cao Ren for five hundred cavalry to surround Jiangdong's army. When he saw that when Cao Ren led his army to charge, Jiangdong's army did not form a formation to resist, but instead waved and waved to welcome Cao Ren in, and he realized something was wrong.

By the time he reacted, Cao Ren's troops were surrounded by Jiangdong's army like a mud cow drowning in the sea.

"Sima, Cao Lifeng is missing. How can our army explain to the Prime Minister?" the soldiers on the side asked worriedly.

"Don't worry."

Shi Huan said calmly: "Brother Zixiao must have a way to deal with it. Our army should not be impulsive for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large flag with the word Cao was suddenly erected in the Jiangdong military formation, fluttering left and right in the wind.

"Sima, Cao Lifeng has pointed out the direction for our army!" the soldiers beside him cheered.

Shi Huan nodded, rode out a few steps, turned around and encouraged the five hundred cavalrymen.

"Brothers! Cao Lifeng is besieged by enemy troops. How can we not save him?"

"Save Cao Lifeng, save Cao Lifeng!" The five hundred cavalry shouted loudly, with high morale. You must know that Cao Ren is a "big brother" level figure in Huainan. Many people in Cao's cavalry came to seek refuge after hearing about Cao Ren's reputation. Seeing that Cao Ren was in danger, they naturally agreed.

"In this case, when you charge later, don't be afraid to move forward. Even if the arrows are like rain, you can't retreat. Do you understand?" Shi Huan shouted again.

"promise!"

"good!"

Shi Huan turned the horse's head, held the horse in his hand, and gave a sharp shout.

"kill!"

Five hundred cavalry of Cao's army galloped out, and thousands of war horses trampled the ground, rushing towards the direction where the banner with the word Cao was waving, intending to join forces with Cao Ren's troops and support Cao Ren's army to fight out.

"Grand Governor, another cavalry unit of the enemy has launched an attack in the direction of Xu Sheng's troops." Cheng Pu on the side said with cupped hands.

"Um."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly. He stood high and looked far away, and he had a panoramic view of everything going on around him.

"Send the order!"

Zhou Yu ordered: "Let Chen Wu continue to attack the city, pacify Shu County as soon as possible, control the gates on all sides, and kill Li Shu. Let Huang Gai and Tai Shici lead their troops to approach Xu Sheng's tribe as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

While the messenger was running around, Shi Huan had already led five hundred cavalry to the outside of Jiangdong Army's formation and charged forward menacingly.

boom!

In order to concentrate his troops to block Cao Ren, Xu Sheng's troops were unable to deal with the surrounding areas. However, Shi Huan led a fierce attack, which inevitably shook the formation.

However, Xu Sheng, whose formation was wavering, frowned and did not ask for help from Pan Zhang, Lu Meng and others in other directions. You must know that each of the 13,000 Jiangdong soldiers has a role. Xu Sheng fought hard against the enemy, while the role of Pan Zhang, Lu Meng and others was to block the formation and prevent Cao Ren from breaking through.

If Lu Meng or Pan Zhang leads troops to come to the rescue, their formation will inevitably be weak. What if Cao Ren breaks out? You must know that the speed of infantry is naturally not as fast as that of cavalry. Cao Ren led his army to gallop and was able to kill them easily.

"Hold on!" Xu Sheng said loudly: "The Governor will send troops to support us soon. We must hold on!"

"Raise my banner!"

Shi Huan shouted: "Tell Cao Lifeng that we are here!"

There was also a strong man behind Shi Huan. Hearing this, he raised the banner with the word "Shi" in his arms and swung it from side to side, which was quite conspicuous in the air.

Cao Jun, who was besieged in the Jiangdong Army Formation, saw the flying flags with history characters, and their morale was boosted and inspired.

"Captain Lieutenant, Shi Sima is here, Shi Sima is really here!" Niu Jin couldn't help cheering loudly when he saw the flying banner with the word "Shi", grabbing Cao Ren's arm and shaking it constantly.

"Okay, Gong Liu really came in time."

Cao Ren was overjoyed when he saw the banner with the word "Shi", and then shouted: "Send the order to the whole army, reorganize the formation, attack again, cooperate with Gong Liu inside and outside, and defeat the enemy!"

"promise!"

Cao's cavalry in the formation gathered together again, but under attack from Jiangdong's arrows and spearmen, the previous 1,300 cavalry lost more than 200, leaving only 1,100.

Cao Ren stared at the 1,100 cavalry in front of him and said sternly: "My sons! Shi Sima led his army to attack Jiangdong's army on the periphery to open a gap for our army. Those who are brave and not afraid of death, charge with me!"

"Kill!"

One thousand one hundred cavalry raised their swords high, cheered in unison, and formed a dense formation again. The distance between them narrowed, forming a sharp cone formation, which was very conducive to charging.

"Kill!"

Although more than a hundred cavalry were killed or wounded, the remaining 1,100 cavalry were even more morale-boosted because of the arrival of Shi Huan's army, and they charged forward with their horses and shouted loudly.
