Xiaoguangong

Chapter 4 Tiger and Leopard Riding

The general of the Cao army who appeared in the night was Cao Chun, the commander of the Cao army's tiger and leopard cavalry who caused a devastating blow to Liu Bei's army on the Changban slope.

This former Yilang, general of Cao Jun who is both civil and military, has brought both civil and military skills to the extreme. Under his command, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is like an invincible steel knife. It collapses at the next touch.

Liu Bei's two daughters were captured by him. If Zhao Yun hadn't rushed to kill like a god descending from the earth, even Liu Bei's wife and children would have been captured by him.

The Cao Jun warrior was very upset that his success fell short.

He led his son Lang to chase all the way through the cold wind and drizzle, and finally caught up with Liu Bei, who was already at the end of his strength, by the Han River.

Seeing the faint lights of fire beside the Han River from a distance, Cao Chun was filled with emotion.

Liu Bei has been in the world for more than 20 years, but I never thought that God would hand his life into my hands.

He cast his fiery eyes on the face of a round-faced general beside him, and said gently:

"I have heard for a long time that General Zhang and Liu Xuande are not on good terms, so I will give it to the general for such a great achievement. In the future, the prime minister will definitely talk about the general's divine power."

The man's face was full of joy, and he cupped his hands in thanks:
"Thank you, Junhou, so I will behead Liu Bei and offer it to my subordinates."

This person is Liu Biao's nephew, 32-year-old Zhang Yun.

Thousands of years later, people will always put Cai Mao and Zhang Yun side by side, but Zhang Yun is only Liu Biao's nephew, and his status and skills are far worse than Cai Mao's.

When Cao Cao went south, Cai Hao was treated with courtesy by virtue of his status as the head of the Cai family. Cao Cao even went to his house to chat with him about the story of the two visiting Liang Hu together. Now the two are probably sleeping together, describing the future of Jingzhou Great situation.

And Zhang Yun without Liu Biao's protection would be miserable.

Although he is also from a rich family, no one under Cao Cao's account is from a rich family.

Under Cao Chun's coercion, he was forced to lead his headquarters to ride a thousand horses, and followed Cao Chun to chase Liu Bei in the rain.

Needless to say the pain of marching on a rainy night, the whole army complained all the way, and his cavalry would be insulted and whipped by the sergeants of the tiger and leopard cavalry if they fell behind. Cao Chun could ride calmly on the horse, holding a handful of rice, Feed the horse with a gentle face.

Now he was shivering from the cold wind, killing Cao Chun's horse in his heart, but he could only vent his anger on Liu Bei in the distance.

He moved forward slowly, trembling and waving the command flag in his hand, but no one responded for a long time, Zhang Yun became angry from embarrassment, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Why didn't you obey orders?"

"General, you can't see the flag in the dark..."

"All, the whole army moves forward, chop, uh, capture, and invite Liu Shijun to the prime minister's command."

No one in Jingzhou wants to fight Liu Bei to the death at this moment-you are fighting with the nobles above, what do you care about us soldiers eating food?

Besides, Liu Bei's reputation is so good that Zhang Yun didn't dare to scold him. Do these soldiers have to fight him to the death?
But under the eyes of tiger and leopard cavalry, they were still forced to move forward, slowly walking towards Liu Beijun's formation by the river.

Two hundred steps.

One hundred steps.

Fifty steps.

The outline of the camp that Liu Bei hastily built has gradually appeared before Zhang Yun's eyes. Before Zhang Yun gave the order to attack, a fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, followed by the sound of drums.

Amidst the sound of raindrops of horseshoes, a tall and handsome young man leaped up and rushed into the Jingzhou army with a weird weapon. The sharp spikes lit up white, piercing a drop of slowly falling rain The bead suddenly pierced into the throat of a cavalryman of the Jingzhou Army!
"Ahhhhhh..." The shrill scream pierced the sky.

Zhang Yun never expected that Liu Beijun, who was at the end of his battle, did not choose to stick to the camp, but took the initiative to attack.

Guan Ping took the lead and went straight to the central army. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Dao rode their horses to encircle the two sides respectively. The Jingzhou army under Zhang Yun immediately fell into chaos.

"Your Majesty! Let us go!" Cao Chun's tiger and leopard knights were eager to try, ready to step into the battlefield at any time and completely tear Liu Bei's camp.

Cao Chun's face was serious.

He originally thought that Liu Bei's army was at the end of its battle, and at most it would be a lose-lose with Zhang Yun, and he would attack calmly and win easily.

Unexpectedly, Liu Beijun took the initiative to attack, Zhang Yun had no fighting spirit, and there was chaos at the moment.

There were four people jumping horses and charging into the formation, Liu Bei's army slowly moved forward to cover up the attack, and the Jingzhou army was rushed to pieces.

"You porpoises, you've missed me a lot."

At this moment, the autumn rain stopped for a while and the sky was getting brighter. Cao Chun rode his horse forward slowly, and saw in the distance that Liu Bei's army was leading only four galloping horses, and the rest of the generals were just a group of wounded infantry.

These people alone made Zhang Yunjun piss off, and Cao Chun's face turned livid.

What is this piece of food for?

Except for the Jingzhou army attacking fortified positions, Cao Chun had only forty tiger and leopard knight soldiers rushing all the way around.

It seems that it is impossible to kill Liu Bei's entire army today, and he can only kill one general first, and then wait for an opportunity to kill Liu Bei.

He suppressed his anger, calmly observed the horses that Liu Beijun was passing through, and soon found his target.

Guan Ping unfortunately became the target of Cao Chun.

He was riding Liu Bei's white horse without a single hair, and he was carrying a strange weapon like a [-]-style rifle, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim light of dawn.

Of course, the most striking thing is his style of play.

Zhang Fei rode a black horse into the Jingzhou army like a storm, and the enemies in front of him fell off their horses one after another, screaming and begging for mercy.

Although both Zhao Yun and Chen Dao were seriously injured in Changbanpo, the spears in their hands still came out of their holes like poisonous snakes, and one of them would scream and fall down with every blow.

And Guan Ping...

Well, Guan Ping's performance really fell short.

The performance of this [-]-type rifle in horse battles can only be described as disaster.

Guan Ping is proficient in knives and spears, so he thought he would be able to master this weapon smoothly.

However, the position of the butt of the rifle was difficult to grasp, so he could only grasp the body of the gun, which greatly affected the attack distance. He actually fought back and forth with a few cavalrymen who were not skilled in martial arts. Everyone in Liu Bei's army was dumbfounded. Eye.

"Hey..." Lu Su who stayed in the camp sighed, picked up a longbow from the ground, and complained to Zhuge Liang beside him, "Kong Ming, why are you doing this?"

"Huh?" Zhuge Liang was taken aback, not quite understanding what Lu Su was talking about.

"I regard you as a friend, but you keep it from me. Could it be that you created this thing deliberately to deceive me? This thing is good for foot combat, how can horse warfare kill the enemy?"

Zhuge Liang:? ? ?

Cao Chun recognized Guan Ping's identity, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was playing with weird weapons and couldn't even beat a few soldiers.

Seeing that Guan Yu's boat had docked, Cao Chun's eyes lit up, and he said sharply:

"The son of Guan Yunchang is also a porpoise dog, all the lords rush to kill with me, and cut this dog first!
If Guan Ping escapes, follow me..."

He wanted to say to kill Liu Bei, but he looked up and saw there were still people in Liu Bei's army. It was expected to be Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others, so he immediately changed his words:

"If Guan Ping escapes, don't chase after him. Killing Liu Bei's family is also a great achievement!"

His subordinates joined the army and saw Guan Ping's martial arts in Changbanpo, frowned and said:
"Your Majesty, be careful, this beast is very strange, could it be Zhuge Liang's trick to lure the enemy?"

"Luring the enemy?" Cao Chun sneered, "If he hadn't been running fast on the Changban slope, I would have killed him long ago. How dare such a martial artist fall into battle? There is no one in Liu Bei's camp!"

After all, he urged the horse vigorously, and the horse, which had already recovered its strength after eating, let out a cheerful neigh, and rushed towards Guan Ping!

The biggest advantage of cavalry is that it is extremely flexible.

Cao Chun's war horse came and went freely, and came straight to Guan Ping. Guan Ping subconsciously wanted to retreat and meet Zhang Fei and others, but he immediately realized that if he retreated a little bit, the pawn formation would be disordered, and Cao Chun had to kill them. Enter Liu Bei's camp and charge for a while.

Mrs. Gan and Adou are in danger!
I can't go!

He simply stood still, and while calling the pawns to get closer to him, he shouted loudly:
"Cao Chun, I will fight to the death with you today!"

"The little general is dead!" Lu Su sighed.

Cao Chun's martial arts were far superior to Guan Ping's, and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were separated, and it was difficult to rescue them for a while.

Lu Su thought that Guan Ping had some skills before, but he didn't expect that Kong had the courage to have no skills at all, and now they might be punished together.

Zhang Yun had thought of running away before.

At this moment, with Cao Chun raiding the formation and Guan Ping's performance was quite clumsy, Zhang Yun was confident that he would be on par with Guan Ping.

At that time, Cao Chun slapped the horse and killed Guan Ping, and the two joined forces to kill Guan Ping. Zhang Yun will naturally have a share of the credit. In the future, Liu Bei will have to find Cao Chun's trouble first if he seeks revenge.

He threw away the crowd immediately, pointed at Guan Ping angrily and shouted:

"Guan Ping, I gave you three tricks before, but you made such a vulgar remark, and this fourth trick won't let you say anything!"

Zhang Yun's martial arts skills are not bad, and Cao Chun and his tiger and leopard cavalry are the best choices.

Guan Ping's wrist had already started to tremble a little,
He looked at the cavaliers of Cao Jun who were coming, and he could only hold the rifle tightly in his hand.

Ancestors and ancestors, help me!

He roared angrily, and suddenly felt the body of the gun shake, followed by a crisp explosion.

Not far away, Zhang Yun still slowly rode his horse towards him with a smirk on his face.

But the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry following Cao Chun's charge stopped suddenly.

They clearly saw a ball of fire emanating from the weird weapon in Guan Ping's hand.

A hundred paces away, Cao Chun didn't realize that Guan Ping was attacking him.

Although he saw something faintly flying in the air, his experience on the battlefield told him that it was nothing.

After the invention of stirrups and saddles, cavalry in armor are the masters on the battlefield, even if there is a rain of arrows, so what?

He roared, and the tiger and leopard riders roared in unison.

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, Cao Chun smelled a familiar smell of blood.

At that moment, he was stunned to see that his beloved horse was still in a charging posture, but a frightening column of blood spurted out from his forehead.

Before Cao Chun could figure out what could penetrate the hard head of the horse, his body was already rolling forward unconsciously.

The huge body of the war horse hit his body heavily!
