Not long after Cao Ren led his army forward, he received intelligence from the scouts.
Zhang Liao led the wolf cavalry and rushed over, arriving in about a stick of incense.
This was because Cao Jun's scouts were desperately trying to convey the message through the signal flag. Otherwise, Zhang Liao would arrive with his wolf cavalry and Cao Ren would not receive the information.
After Cao Ren heard this, he immediately ordered the army to stop.
Then he looked at the battlefield and quickly made a decision.
After all, the situation is now in danger, and he cannot be allowed to delay any longer, otherwise all of their ten thousand troops will be in danger.
Cao Ren immediately ordered a thousand men to be mobilized to support Xiahou Dun and Le Jin, while he led the remaining three thousand men to form an array on the spot to prevent Zhang Liao's wolf cavalry from stepping on the formation.
On the battlefield, after Zang Ba and others led 3,000 men to initially kill nearly a thousand Cao's troops, Cao's army's formation gradually stabilized.
Zang Ba, Xu Sheng, Wei Xu and others were not in a hurry. Now that they had held back Cao Jun, all that was left was to wait for Zhang Liao's army to arrive. In this battle, Cao Jun will definitely be defeated.
However, Zang Ba and others were not in a hurry, but Xiahou Dun and Le Jin were very impatient.
Le Jin left two thousand men to guard against the wolf cavalry that could charge at any time, so he joined the battle. However, he was entangled by Xu Sheng, preventing him from leaving.
Le Jin was very anxious. Originally, they did not have the advantage in terms of strength here. In addition, they were attacked by a sneak attack and lost hundreds to nearly a thousand people. Even if they stabilized their formation now, they would not be able to launch a counterattack against Zang Ba and others.
Le Jin looked at Xu Sheng in front of him and tried his best to kill Xu Sheng here.
Although Xu Sheng is still young, he is still fearless. Le Jin wants to kill him, and he also wants to capture Le Jin.
"Le Jin, now you have nowhere to escape. You know very well what the situation is. It's better to surrender directly than to resist in a corner."
Although Xu Sheng was fighting anxiously with Le Jin, he didn't stop talking.
After hearing this, Le Jin felt no anger in his heart, and felt extremely sober, but at the same time, he was a little frightened.
Xu Sheng in front of him, including Zang Ba who was fighting Xiahou Dun, Le Jin could guarantee that these two people were definitely not there when he fought with Lu Bu in Yanzhou.
Now, just a short time later, Lu Bu actually had two more generals under his command. This discovery made Le Jin feel very heavy.
Seeing that Le Jin didn't respond, Xu Sheng also focused on fighting Le Jin.
On the other side, Zang Ba was equally matched with Xiahou Dun, but that seemed to be all he could do.
And as time passed, Zang Ba began to lose to Xiahou Dun. Seeing this, Xiahou Dun stepped up his offensive against Zang Ba. Zang Ba was also miserable.
But Zang Ba still dragged Xiahou Dun tightly.
"Xiahou Dun, you can't run away now, why don't you just capture us without mercy!"
Zang Ba's words seemed to stimulate Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Dun's offensive became more fierce.
"That fellow Lu Bu didn't come in person to lead the army. Just because of you, you can't get into someone's eyes and you will die!"
Xiahou Dun became angry and attacked with all his strength regardless of defense, making Zang Ba almost unable to resist.
When Wei Xu on the other side saw this, he came over to help Zang Ba. The two of them dealt with Xiahou Dun together, while Xiahou Dun looked crazy and was equally fearless.
Zang Ba watched Wei Xu's arrival and felt anxious.
"You go and lead the army and kill Cao's army as much as possible. If Cao Ren comes with his army, we will be in danger. Go quickly!"
Wei Xu was a little hesitant when he heard this.
"If I go, what will I do here?"
After hearing this, Zang Ba laughed.
"You can go, but Xiahou Dun won't be able to kill me that easily!
You go quickly and try to find a way to get into Cao's army, which is taking precautions next to it. When Wen Yuan and his army arrive, they can march straight in. "
Xiahou Dun was furious after listening to their words. These two people seemed not to take him seriously.
"But we are all defeated. Today, none of you can even think of leaving!"
Xiahou Dun attacked Wei Xu, intending to kill Wei Xu first and then fight Zang Ba, because Xiahou Dun knew that Wei Xu was not as powerful as Zang Ba and would be easier to kill.
Zang Ba on the side saw this and immediately caught Xiahou Dun's blow.
"Xiahou Dun, the two of us haven't finished fighting yet, let's continue fighting!"
Wei Xu immediately withdrew from the fighting circle. Seeing this, Xiahou Dun had no choice but to vent all his anger on Zang Ba.
Zang Ba gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on. He just hoped that Zhang Liao could come soon, otherwise, he might really die here today.
After Wei Xu withdrew, he immediately led a thousand men to kill the two thousand men that Yue Jin had arranged to defend Zhang Liao.
Sun Guan and Chang Xi also continued to lead their troops to break through Cao Jun's defense line and reap the lives of Cao Jun.
When Le Jin saw Wei Xu's movement, he made a horizontal slash and pushed Xu Sheng away, and was about to stop Wei Xu. However, Xu Sheng rushed up again, quickly killed the oncoming Cao Jun, and rushed towards Le Jin again.
Le Jin had no choice but to fight Xu Sheng again.
Under the attack of Wei Xu, Sun Guan, and Chang Xi, Cao's army's formation was broken again, and it seemed that it was on the verge of defeat.
Fortunately, the arrival of a thousand troops sent by Cao Ren was able to stop the rout and resume their formation.
Wei Xu led a thousand men and went straight to the two thousand troops left by Le Jin. Seeing this, Cao Jun had to send a thousand men to fight Wei Xu.
Cao Ren was commanding the formation of the army while looking at the situation on the battlefield, feeling very heavy in his heart.
Cao Ren dared to say that if Zhang Liao had not attacked like this, with the men he left behind, Zhang Liao would have been defeated in a head-on battle.
However, it was precisely because of the attack that Xiahou Dun and Le Jin suffered heavy losses for a while, and they had to leave some people to guard against the Wolf Cavalry, which led to the current situation.
In Cao Ren's heart, he only hoped that Cao Cao's reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible, otherwise, they would be really in danger.
It's not like Cao Ren didn't think about evacuating. But now Xiahou Dun and Le Jin are both entangled. Even if he evacuates alone, he will be pursued by the wolf riders.
Without military defense, once the cavalry charges against them, it will be a massacre.
Even though Cao Ren knew that Zhang Liao would not pursue him deeply, he could not stop the cavalry from marching along the way.
Moreover, Xiahou Dun and Le Jin were still here, so he had no way of escaping alone.
In Cao Ren's opinion, the only way to stop Zhang Liao's attack now is to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then he can defeat Zhang Liao.
And he stayed here not only to guard against Zhang Liao, but also because Xiahou Dun and Le Jin were unable to support them. When they evacuated, he would not only be able to respond, but also become a line of defense again.
Zhang Liao on the other side was charging at full speed with his wolf cavalry. He was about to reach the battlefield when information came.
Cao Ren did not join the battlefield, but led his army to form a military formation.
Similarly, on the battlefield, Cao Jun was also guarding against their wolf cavalry.
After Zhang Liao found out, he quickly looked at Song Xian.
"Song Xian, later you lead two thousand wolf cavalry to rush into the battlefield and kill Cao's army.
I will lead a thousand wolf cavalry to attack Cao Ren! "
