Zhao Yun's bloody battle against Changbanpo was undoubtedly the most breathtaking scene in the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Liu Bei was defeated and cornered, his wife and son lost their news, and even Zhao Yun himself lost his way. At this critical moment of survival, Zhao Yun went out and fought alone in the Cao army camp, invincible, and killed. The most puzzling thing is that Cao Cao's subordinates were full of heroes at that time, why did none of them dare to face Zhao Yun? Even first-class generals like Zhang He chose to retreat after competing with Zhao Yun? What are they afraid of? Was it Zhao Yun's bravery that scared them? Or is there something else going on? Let's find out.
The dignified Cao Wei army, the heroes gathered together
It is said that in that year, Cao Cao's troops were invincible, unified the north, and waved his army to the south, intending to dominate the world. Although the Cao army is numerous and powerful, it can be said that there are many heroes, but there are few famous generals who are truly brave and good at fighting.
Cao Cao's cronies and generals are certainly brave and capable, such as Xun Yu, Le Jin, Xu Cheng, Cao Hong, Dian Wei and others, all of whom are brave generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time and have read all the battle formations. But compared with it, those who descended from the camp of Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and others, such as Yan Ming, Ma Yan, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and others, although they also have the name of bravery, but in terms of bravery, combat experience and emotional factors with Cao Cao, they are far inferior to the former.
And the most eye-catching and famous under Cao Cao are Zhang He and Yu Zheng. Both of them are brave generals in the world, especially Zhang He, who has been famous for a long time, and Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun are known as the four heavenly kings of the "Wordless Clan", and their force value can be regarded as a must in Cao Ying.
In this battle of Wu, Cao Cao led the whole army to the south and led so many outstanding generals under his command to fight, which can be described as invincible and his strength cannot be underestimated. Even the Shu Han heroes Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun, who were in their heyday, also pinched a cold sweat for Cao Ying's army.
Zhao Yun was alone and invincible
Zhao Yun's real name is Zhao Zilong, the word cloud is long, he is a cloth cloth, and he was originally just a little-known little martial artist. Until he followed Liu Bei into Shu and encountered the famous Battle of Changbanpo, he became a sensation and became one of the four heavenly kings of the wordless clan.
It is said that that year, Liu Bei was attacked by Cao Cao in Changyang, the whole army was annihilated, and his family was scattered and disappeared. Zhao Yun also strayed into the Cao camp position when he was scattered. In order to find the lord Cao Cao and Adou, he decided to fight his way through it at all costs.
At that time, it was the tenth of the fourth watch, and Zhao Yun rushed into Cao's camp alone with the pure heart of the Savior, and was invincible. At first, they just fought on the periphery, killed until dawn, and finally entered the camp. Zhao Yun was brave and unmatched, holding a steel gun and flying horses, and successively defeated Cao Hong's generals Yan Ming, Ma Yan, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, and other seven people, and knocked them all off their horses.
Then Zhao Yun came to the foot of the Changsaka slope, where the mountains are steep and the terrain is narrow, which is the key point of the ambush. Sure enough, Zhao Yun was stopped by Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen. One of the two wielded a big axe and the other used a halberd, trying to capture Zhao Yun alive. However, Zhao Yun was skilled, and within three rounds, he picked the two off the horse.
Zhao Yun immediately rode his horse straight to the Changbanpo position. At that time, Cao Cao saw it from a distance, and saw that in the Cao camp array, Zhao Yun was swift and incoherent, wielding guns and knives, murderous, and slashing into the formation. No matter which general he encountered, he was picked off his horse, and no one was his opponent. In a short time, Zhao Yun had already killed a bloody path in Cao Ying.
Seeing that Zhao Yun's might was so ferocious, even Cao Cao, who was sitting on the hillside, changed color, and couldn't help but admire: "It's really a tiger general!" Then he ordered his subordinates to inquire about Zhao Yun's origins, and found out that he had killed more than 50 Cao Ying generals, and his record was amazing.
Facing the heroic Zhao Yun, Cao Ying's famous general crouched in front of the formation
Witnessing Zhao Yun's shocking performance, the famous generals in Cao's camp were all terrified, and they all fled in anticipation, not daring to go out to meet the battle easily.
The more than 50 generals killed by Zhao Yun, although most of them were small generals, they were generals after all, how could they be generals? The bravery and bravery he displayed was truly shocking. Even the brave generals in Cao Ying, such as Jiao Touch, Ma Yan, Zhang Nan and others, were also picked off by Zhao Yun, which shows the strength of his force.
What's even more frightening is that Zhao Yun is invincible this time, but he is fighting alone and alone, which can be called swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. The heroes in the Cao array were naturally reluctant to fight with them easily, for fear of being injured halfway and being controlled by this fierce general.
At the moment, even Zhang He, the most courageous in Cao Ying, chose to avoid the edge for the time being after fighting Zhao Yun. It turned out that Zhang He and Zhao Yun had a fight, accidentally stumbled, and fell into a horse pit that they had not noticed beforehand. Although Zhang He finally got out, this loss really made him humiliated.
As a fierce general with both wisdom and courage in Cao Ying, Zhang He is still like this, doesn't it show that Zhao Yun's combat power is really extraordinary? Naturally, other generals did not dare to despise it.
As a result, except for a small group of pawns in Cao's camp who were ordered to stop Zhao Yun, none of the generals were willing to go out to meet the battle. They hid in the formation one after another, for fear of being injured halfway and burning themselves.
Seeing that the situation was like this, Cao Cao had to strictly order the whole army and issue a military order to "capture Zhao Zilong alive", and he was not allowed to shoot him. It can be said that under the trade-off, only such a compromise can make those famous generals who are curled up in front of the formation hesitate for a moment.
Zhao Yun was unexpectedly in a desperate situation
Although Zhao Yun was invincible and heroic, he was fighting alone after all, and he soon fell into a desperate situation.
At the beginning, with his extraordinary bravery and superb martial arts, no one could stop Zhao Yun wherever he went, and the pawn generals in Cao's camp were picked off his horse by him, and he did not dare to fight for a long time. But after a long battle, Zhao Yun gradually lost his strength, and even the strength of the imperial horse was not much left.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the generals in Cao's camp waited for an opportunity from the shadows and surrounded Zhao Yun. At this time, Cao Cao personally supervised the army and ordered the whole army to capture Zhao Yunsheng and never hurt his life.
For a while, soldiers and horses from all directions rushed towards Zhao Yun and surrounded Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun tried his best, after all, it was difficult to fight against so many enemy troops when he fought alone. Soon, Zhao Yun fell into a heavy encirclement, helpless everywhere, unable to move.
At this time, Zhao Yun's waist and knees were arched, and his forehead was full of sweat, obviously he had already lost his strength. He drove his companion Aima and ran hard in a small space in a vain attempt to break out of the encirclement. However, the heavily surrounded Cao army did not give him any respite, and the sound of iron hooves and arrows was endless.
Zhao Yun was isolated and fell into a brief period of distraction and confusion. He kept looking back, looking for an opportunity to break through, but there was no way out. At this juncture, Cao Yingzhong finally saw the opportunity, and dozens of warriors rushed forward in unison, struck Zhao Yun's beloved horse with several arrows, and soon fell to his knees.
Zhao Yun was immediately overturned alive and dismounted, embarrassed. Although he resisted desperately, after all, he fought alone, and he was quickly captured alive. The warriors in Cao's camp bound him firmly and pinned him to the ground. At this moment, a Cao army rushed to arrive, but saw that Zhao Yun had been captured alive, and there was no blood to breathe.
Unraveling the Mystery: The Concerns of Cao Ying's Famous Generals
Throughout the whole process, it is not difficult to understand why the famous generals of Cao Ying were so timid to deal with Zhao Yun and seemed to be facing a great enemy.
First of all, they knew that Cao Cao's southern expedition was originally to dominate the world and sweep away the authority of Sun Wu in Jiangdong. And Zhao Yun is known as the "first warrior of the Han Dynasty" peerless general, if he acts rashly and hurts Zhao Yun's life, he is afraid that he will be burned and ruin Cao Cao's major event.
It can be said that although Zhao Yun is trapped in Cao Ying, he is also the last ray of hope for Liu Bei to revive the Han family. If he accidentally hurt his life, I am afraid that it will anger Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and at the same time, it will also ruin Cao Cao's good intentions to capture the master. Therefore, in order to be cautious, the famous generals of Cao Ying avoided it.
Secondly, even Zhang He, who was the most courageous in Cao Ying, retreated after competing with Zhao Yun. This is enough to show that Zhao Yun's bravery is really beyond their expectations, and the power is terrifying.
Although Zhang He is also a fierce general in the world, after fighting with Zhao Yun, he still missed and fell into the trap, which shows that Zhao Yun's martial arts are superb and really intimidating. If the martial arts are slightly inferior to Zhao Yun's line, maybe even his life will be lost. Therefore, although the famous generals of Cao Ying are brave, they also have to think twice and be cautious.
Coupled with Cao Cao's strict orders, they were afraid that if they made a slight omission, they would violate the military orders and be punished lightly. Therefore, under such a contradictory situation, they would rather retreat from the battle than rush forward.
end
Despite this, Zhao Yun was still hanging by a thread in the end, and was captured alive in Cao's camp, if it weren't for Cao's carelessness, maybe he would have embarked on a dead end. This also confirms from the side that Cao Ying's famous generals were in awe of Zhao Yun at that time.
