Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 122 Zhang Yan's Return
Seeing the tragic situation of their companions, many yellow scarf soldiers cursed and denounced the actions of the Xianbei cavalry.

But what greeted them was a rush of horseshoes.

The Xianbei cavalry ignored the Yellow Turban soldiers' scolding at all, and instead speeded up and slammed into them.

Now the yellow turban soldiers didn't dare to stand still and curse, after all, no one wanted to lose their lives because of the advantage of talking.

Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui sneered, and then ordered: "Scatter horse nails!"

Xue Rengui gave an order, and the soldiers of the Northern Army immediately nailed the horses that had been prepared for a long time on the only way for the Xianbei cavalry.

The Xianbei cavalry who were only running for their lives did not notice the densely packed horse nails on the ground at all, and the Xianbei cavalry, whose horse speed did not slow down, bumped into the horse nails.

At that time, horseshoes were not popular among war horses, and even if there were horseshoes, they might not be effective.

The Xianbei cavalry who rushed to the front fell down in the blink of an eye. The fallen horses wailed, and the Xianbei cavalry who fell to the ground suffered heavy losses.

The unlucky ones were either thrown to death or pierced by the horse nails. Although the lucky ones escaped the immediate catastrophe, the ensuing war horses ruthlessly crushed their hope of survival.

At the same time, Xue Rengui ordered: "Archers, shoot on your back!"

As soon as the words fell, well-trained archers bent their bows and set arrows one after another, and the rain of arrows covered the sky and covered the sky.

There were more than [-] Xianbei cavalry rushing to the front of the formation, but under the attack of nails and arrows, only [-] of the [-] Xianbei cavalry remained.

When the two armies met, the pikemen kept stabbing their spears under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, challenging one after another of the Xianbei cavalry off their horses.

For the Xianbei cavalry who challenged their horses, the sword and shield soldiers could easily take their lives with their swords.

The three generals Xue Rengui, Zhang Yan, and Sui Gu also waved their swords, and the North Korean low cavalry went up to meet them.

A Xianbei cavalryman raised his mace and swung it at Xue Rengui with a ferocious face. This stick almost used his strength. This Xianbei cavalry never thought that he could perform at such a level.

Seeing this, Xue Rengui's face turned cold, and he easily swung the mace away with a halberd.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Rengui swung the halberd fiercely in his hand, and made a powerful move to chop Huashan Mountain, and slashed at the desperate Xianbei cavalry with the force of Mount Tai.

The Xianbei cavalry, who were still stunned, were cut in two by Xue Rengui with a halberd, blood splattered everywhere!

The splattered hot blood added a little red to Xue Rengui's silver armor, like plum blossoms in the cold winter, extraordinarily enchanting!

The two generals Zhang Yan and Sui Gu also showed their own special abilities, one knife and one child...

Pooh!One Xianbei cavalry with one knife!
Even if Zhang Yan is only a strong third-rate general, Sui Gu is only a third-rate general, but against these Xianbei cavalry, the second general is more than enough!

In this way, it didn't take long for the Xianbei cavalry to be almost killed by Xue Rengui, Zhang Yan, Sui Gu, and the soldiers of the Northern Army. Except for a very few lucky ones, most of the Xianbei cavalry hated this land.

Most of the yellow turban soldiers who rushed behind saw the tragic situation of the Xianbei cavalry, gave up their resistance, and honestly threw away their weapons and knelt down to ask for surrender.

However, there are also individual Yellow Turban soldiers who don't take the lessons learned by the Xianbei cavalry to heart, and are still desperate to break out of the encirclement.

Regarding these Yellow Turban soldiers, Xue Rengui and the soldiers of the Northern Army were not polite, and simply dealt with these Yellow Turban soldiers.

……

Let’s say that Liu Zhiyuan groaned inwardly when he saw Guan Yu leading more than a thousand cavalry blocking the road to Xihe City.

The way of retreat was cut off, and it was obviously unrealistic to charge back, so Liu Zhiyuan had to pull his horse and flee to Xianbei territory.

Looking at Liu Zhiyuan who was fleeing further and further away, Guan Yu sneered: "It's your fate!"

Guan Yu waited at the same place for a while, and seeing that Liu Zhiyuan hadn't left but returned, Guan Yu took people back to look for Xue Rengui.

Then Guan Yu and Xue Rengui sorted out the surrendered troops, and then escorted the surrendered troops back to the Northern Army camp.

……

Zhang Jiao in Xihe City spat out a mouthful of blood when he learned that Liu Zhiyuan's whereabouts were unknown and that [-] elite soldiers and [-] Black Mountain Army had been wiped out.

Zhang Jiao said regretfully: "If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have let Zhiyuan lead the troops out of the city!"

There is also a reason why Zhang Jiao regretted so much. Although there are 18 Yellow Turban soldiers in Xihe City, many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

In other words, as long as someone is called, regardless of whether it is an old man or a child, Zhang Jiao will count them into the yellow scarf weaving.

And among these 18 soldiers, there are only over one hundred thousand soldiers, and [-] elite soldiers have been lost in one blow. How can Zhang Jiao not feel distressed?

After discussing with the generals under his command, Zhang Jiao thought to himself, "This Xihe City can't stay here any longer, we must find an opportunity to escape!"

……

After Xue Rengui and Guan Yu returned to the Northern Army camp, they unexpectedly discovered that Lu Bu hadn't rested yet.

When they arrived at the camp, Lu Bu was boxing in the camp.

Seeing Xue Rengui and Guan Yu return, Lu Bu stepped forward and asked, "Have the two brothers been injured?"

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Xue Rengui and Guan Yu felt warm in their hearts.

My lord stays up late at night, and when the two of them come back, he doesn't ask how the battle is going or how much the battle has cost, but first asks whether they have been injured. Where can I find such a lord?
Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, neither the general nor Yun Chang was injured, and the blood on the battle armor belongs to the enemy!"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's good, that's good!"

"My lord, in this battle our army lost more than [-] soldiers, beheaded more than [-], and captured nearly [-] enemies." Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said.

"In addition, Zhang Yan, commander of the Black Mountain Department of the Yellow Turban, and his general Sui Gu surrendered to our army. I hope the lord will decide how to deal with it!" Xue Rengui continued.

"Oh? Where are these two now?" Lu Bu asked with interest.

Lu Bu did not expect that Zhang Yan would surrender, which really surprised Lu Bu.

There are not many records about Zhang Yan in Romance, and there may be only one sentence that impresses people: "The black mountain bandit Zhang Yan led an army of [-] to surrender, and he was named General Pingbei..."

But Lu Bu didn't think so. How can someone who can compete with Yuan Benchu, the fourth generation and third prince, be a mediocre person?

Zhang Yan is from Changshan Zhending, that is, Zhao Yun's hometown.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Yan has fought in various places. After the death of the boss Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Yan became the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army.

Jushou once said to Yuan Shao: "Although the Yellow Turban is cunning and the Black Mountain is domineering, if you move your army eastward, Qingzhou can be settled; , the Huns must follow.”

In this passage, Jushou listed Zhang Yan as an opponent of the same weight as the white horse general Gongsun Zan. Zhang Yan's ability and strength can be seen from this.

Closer to home, when Lu Bu finished speaking, Zhang Yan and Sui Gu walked out of the team and knelt down in front of Lu Bu.

"Criminal Zhang Yan/Sui Gu, meet the general!"

Lu Bu said, "Both of you, hurry up!"

　It's three o'clock!Ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and rewards, thank you buddies!Thanks again to Jieming g for adding more rewards!Later, I will send a hundred rewards for the wandering brother, and the code words are still going on!
