The big man is on the run

Chapter 84 Zhang Ji's Anger

On the other side, at the foot of a high mountain in the distance.

A group of cavalry is resting in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

"Report, report to General Yang, there are scouts ahead to report, saying that they have found traces of Zhang Ji's troops."

A cavalryman rode up to one person, knelt on the ground and said.

"Oh? Is Zhang Ji really enraged?"

That general was Yang Mi, the former subordinate of Guo Si who had defected to Li Jue. He was not very surprised when he heard the news.

"There are about five or six hundred people. Our people have just fought against them. Although there are hundreds of them, they are not very strong."

"This is good news!"

A smile appeared on Yang Mi's face. His thinking was the same as Zhang Ji's, he couldn't wait to make a contribution to his lord and stabilize his position.

"General Yang, I think this should be a trap. There may be soldiers and horses behind Zhang Ji. Why don't we retreat first?"

"Go back?"

Yang Mi's complexion changed, and he said, "No, no matter whether it's a trap or not, we have to test it out. This is the task entrusted to us by Da Sima. Zhang Ji is afraid of might or virtue, and if he doesn't hurt Zhang Ji first, even if Zhang Xiu If you send it over, he will be very difficult to shake."

As he said that, Yang Mi looked at a general behind him, and after some ear-to-ear instructions, he said loudly: "Cui Yong, take a hundred cavalry to investigate the situation."

"promise!"

A hulky-backed, full-faced bearded man, wearing armor, with a Chinese-character face, looked extremely fierce and burly general agreed, leading a hundred cavalry, and rode towards the northeast edge of the Weishui River.

Cui Yong, like Yang Mi, was originally a subordinate of Guo Si, but after the defeat of Zheng County, he defected to Li Jue.

Cui Yong is also a very skilled general in the Xiliang Army, ranking among the top ten cavalry generals in Xiliang.

This time Yang Mi sent him to the front line to investigate the situation, one was to consider his identity and character, and the other was to use this incident to show off in front of Da Sima Li Jue.

"General Cui, please be careful that there are enemies ahead, we haven't found us in the forest yet!"

Just after Cui Yong led his army for more than ten miles, a warning came from the sentry in front.

Cui Yong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered to stop the advance, and the hundred riders under his command hid in the woods and did not dare to go forward.

In front of us in a common hill in Weibei, a group of mixed infantry and cavalry troops wearing armor, holding spears and knives around their heads, and exuding murderous aura are marching. There are not many infantry, about 200 people, and more than 400 cavalry. .

Cui Yong frowned and looked at the other party.

Although Cui Yong had never seen this team, he recognized Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses with the banner of "Zhang".

At this time, Yang Mi's instructions echoed in Cui Yong's mind. He couldn't bear to look at the cavalry around him, and finally made a move that surprised everyone.

Cui Yong held a big knife, even galloped out of the hidden woods and yelled loudly.

Even Zhang Jijun, who was searching this way, was frightened, and a person suddenly appeared in the woods.

"Zhang Ji, we are here under the order of the great Sima. If you are sensible, you should surrender as soon as possible. Maybe you can avoid death. Otherwise, when our reinforcements arrive, you will be out of control!"

Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Ji became furious immediately, and shouted: "Bold bandits, dare to act wildly in front of this general, it seems that life is boring!"

From Zhang Ji's point of view, the other party was simply ridiculous. Even if the other party's troops were hiding in the woods, they would be discovered by his scouts sooner or later.

Instead of running away, the other party came out to shout!
Cui Yong laughed loudly, his voice startled the birds: "Hahahaha, you are worthy of calling me a thief? How ridiculous!"

After all, the cavalry in the woods behind them couldn't cover up, and rushed out bravely.

"presumptuous!"

Zhang Ji shouted loudly, holding a big gun and urging the horse to rush towards the opposite side, followed closely by the cavalry behind him in a conical formation.

Cui Yong held a broadsword in his hand and directly charged at Zhang Ji and killed him.

"Well done, let's see what skills you have, dare to be rampant in front of this general!"

Although Cui Yong's martial arts is not as good as Zhang Ji's, he still has a group of elite cavalry under his command. These cavalry have been regarded as abandoned by him, so naturally he no longer feels sorry for him. In addition, Cui Yong himself is younger than Zhang Ji. Bravery is not inferior to Zhang Ji.

The two armies fought together in an instant, and the sound of fighting was deafening and resounded in all directions.

This small-scale battle, limited to obstructive terrain and dense formations, did not achieve a hedge, but tangled together among the hills and woods.

One arm of an infantryman of Zhang Ji's army was chopped off by the condescending Huan Shou Dao of the enemy cavalry, dripping with blood.

And the enemy cavalry who cut him was not having a good time. After falling into the quagmire of the formation, his calf was pierced by a spear, revealing white bone stubble, and blood flowed out.

Cui Yong and Zhang Ji fought fiercely, and their personal soldiers were also entangled in a battle group.

Seeing that Cui Yong was overwhelmed by the veteran Zhang Ji, at this moment, another cavalryman of Cui Yong's army rushed up, shielded himself with the shield in his left hand, and at the same time stabbed a spear at Zhang Ji with his right hand.

"Humph!"

Zhang Ji snorted coldly, and swung his gun straight out.

"Puff!!"

The spear directly hit the shield, pierced through the cavalryman's chest, and blood spurted out, splashing Zhang Ji's face.

"what!"

The cavalry screamed, clutching his chest, and fell into a pool of blood.

When Cui Yong saw this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

This knight was his direct descendant, his left and right arms, but unexpectedly died under Zhang Ji's spear, which made him feel faintly sad.

"Kill!"

Seeing this, the rest of the cavalry drove their horses and attacked Zhang Ji.

"Death to me!"

Zhang Ji yelled violently, his feet pinched the belly of the war horse under his crotch, and he jumped into the air. The big spear in his hand danced like a tornado, sweeping seven or eight soldiers who rushed up.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Zhang Ji killed in this way regardless of the huge physical exertion, and there were continuous dull noises, and these soldiers fell to the ground one by one, with blood holes all over their bodies.

These soldiers couldn't resist his attack at all, and they were killed in one encounter, leaving only a few wounded to flee.

"Damn!"

Cui Yong's eyes turned red when he saw this.

Cui Yong knew that if this continued, his cavalry would be wiped out if the enemy was outnumbered.

However, Cui Yong was more aware of Zhang Ji's temperament. If he led the cavalry to retreat now, Zhang Ji would catch up immediately. This is what he wanted.

Yang Mi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Brothers, withdraw!"

How could Zhang Ji let them get away?

According to the intelligence of the sentry cavalry, the enemy should only have a few hundred cavalry, so it must be this group of enemies. He, Zhang Ji, must wipe out this group of enemies, and then bring their heads back to Weiqu to claim credit from the emperor.

"Come up!"

The cavalry shouted and pursued, but in the sparse woods, more than 200 infantry began to fall behind.
