Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 134 Didn't I Don't Run Far?How to behead!

Liu Xun beheaded, Zhao Yun raised his head and walked away. At this moment, in the forest behind, many cavalrymen were running wildly back and forth, shouting loudly in the dark.

The sound of horseshoes was as chaotic as beating drums, and the sound of the drums was shocking. After a series of drums sounded, the rest of the soldiers and horses immediately thought that there were more ambushes in the forest.

Moreover, they were all cavalry, and it was hard to tell how many there were. In a moment of panic, Dian Wei led his men to fight and retreat.

Liu Xun's soldiers and horses in the distance, in grief, didn't know whether to chase, and in this gap, Dian Wei rose up and returned, brought the dead back, and sneaked into the forest.

But the enemy army still rushed up like a tide, wanting to avenge its coach.

Several lieutenants were even shouting left and right.

After Zhao Yun rode away on his horse, he and the cavalry behind him repelled the pursuers in a round, and shot arrows like raindrops from the forest, spreading them in the air.

Xu Zhen could still see all this clearly in the forest. It was his order to ride horses and suspect soldiers, and it was the same to order archery at this time.

"Dian Wei, take the dead and retreat first!"

"Hey! Your Majesty, my body hurts so much!"

Dian Wei returned to the army formation, and after a fierce battle, he discovered that there were several deep wounds on his arms and chest, and his flesh and blood were rolled up.

There are already many of these eye-catching wounds all over the body, and this time one is very deep, and it is estimated that it will take a while to recuperate.

"Hurry up! Find the mountain road immediately, and go back according to the previous route!"

"Here!"

"Suppressed by the archers, Min Yue will bring all the horses over and prepare to retreat!"

"Here!"

After a few orders, the arrows flew for a few more rounds, but without the dead soldiers ambush at the front, more and more people rushed up, just like a tide, it couldn't be stopped at all.

It just so happened that Min Yue led people to bring all the horses over, and the rest of them got on their horses immediately, and walked around the rugged road in the valley behind the mountain, and the sound of horseshoes gradually faded away.

The soldiers and horses chased for a while, and found that the cavalry in the forest were just pretending to be suspicious soldiers, and immediately understood that they had been tricked.

So the generals immediately ordered the cavalry to chase.

That night, Xu Zhen's guard battalion was on the run, and Liu Xun still had thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry marching continuously.

"Although the general died in battle, you must not lose your morale. We have more soldiers and horses, so we can break through the gate of Shucheng. Once we break through, we can avenge the general."

"That's right! The Zhong family has to be built, and the soldiers and horses have been retreating steadily. Do you still want to go back to the mountains and become bandits?"

"Follow me and go to Shucheng. If you can't catch up with those bandits, then go to capture Shucheng, and then take down Wancheng. Once you can make meritorious service, you are all heroes, and the general deserves to die!"

"go!"

Several generals with high prestige in the army shouted, and suddenly changed their morale, and the crowd immediately became angry, "The general must not die in vain! Let's take revenge!"

"That's right, moreover, this exposed Shu Cheng's lack of defense! It must be so!"

"The task His Majesty entrusted to us is to destroy Shu City and take Xu Zhen's head!"

"Shu Cheng definitely didn't dare to take precautions, so he took the risk and came to ambush. The vanguard didn't make a move. They must have let them go. The purpose was to wait for the general to pass by here, so they made a surprise attack and beheaded."

"We must not mess around on our own. According to the previous military strategy, we will go to Shucheng immediately and attack the city with the vanguard soldiers. We will definitely be able to take Shucheng within a few days, and then report to His Majesty!"

"go!"

"Go, go immediately!!"

……

late at night.

During the chase, Xu Zhen ambushed the pursuers three more times and repelled them. As if he was tireless, he led hundreds of people who were proficient in riding and shooting to drag and wander in the mountains.

As a result, the number of cavalrymen who were chasing and killing continued to decrease, and they no longer dared to chase them anymore.

"This person is too strange."

"He has been trying to kill us while he is running!"

"Stop chasing, absolutely no more chasing. We are now alone in the depths. If we are ambushed a few more times, the entire army will almost be wiped out!"

"Whose soldier is this?! He can ride and shoot, and he can fight at close range. The general in charge is too skilled in martial arts! We can't fight!"

"Merge with the army first, and if you chase after him, you will most likely be killed by him relying on the terrain. I don't know who this is, and which general it is."

"Under the Cao family, with such a cavalry general, it is absolutely difficult to win here."

"withdraw!!"

These cavalry did not dare to chase any more, and immediately chose to retreat.

Three or 4000 people gathered at the crossing of the trail to prepare for the return journey. After walking for a while, the sound of horseshoes came from behind.

Xu Zhen came back with his men, drew a bow and set an arrow on the back of the war horse, shot a volley, and then charged vigorously with the horse, galloping to chase.

After approaching, there was another round of flat shooting, which made these Shouchun soldiers have no time to react, and fell down in pieces outside, and the leading few chased after them on horseback, and rushed up again.

"Too much deceit! There are only a few hundred people, how dare you chase us by thousands?!"

"Why is he?!"

"Catch up, I will definitely kill him today!"

"I don't believe that this man can still kill all of us in this mountain road. This time, keep chasing and no one will stop, unless he escapes to Shucheng!"

"Here!!"

Rumble!
The galloping horse made an extremely heavy sound, and rushed towards Xu Zhen.

At this moment, Xu Zhen suddenly smiled, "Let's go, let's go!"

Zhao Yun raised his spear, and all the cavalry behind him immediately understood, turned their horses and left. Before leaving, he shot a round with bow and arrow again, and shot dead several cavalry running ahead.

The [-] cavalry from the Suwei Battalion fled into the mountains in an orderly manner. According to the terrain that had been explored repeatedly before, they quickly disappeared into the forest.

so overnight.

As long as Shou Chunbing pursues, Xu Zhen will retreat.

But when they retreated without chasing, Xu Zhen came back again, sometimes from the flank.

So chased all night.

Only then did these soldiers and horses realize that there was another army in the valley!Tiger and leopard riding is also here!

Cao's leopard cavalry, equipped with light cavalry, is good at riding and shooting, and the horse is extremely fast. As soon as it appeared, it affected the situation of the entire battlefield and killed at least half of the soldiers and horses.

Until dawn, Shouchun's soldiers and horses finally learned how to behave. They used half of their troops to defend against Xu Zhen, and the other half retreated, and finally withdrew from the valley.

However, more than [-] people were lost. More than [-] war horses were scattered throughout the valley, and Xu Zhen sent people to pull them back. After the people gathered, one person was in charge of two war horses and returned to the city as soon as possible.

This battle gained a lot, Liu Xun didn't say anything, he also got elite cavalry equipment and war horses.

……

At the same time, Shu Cheng was also fighting.

Xu Chu's command of guarding the city is like strolling in a garden. Every time he passes by, the soldiers and horses guarding the city gate will be extremely excited.

On the city tower, the preparations were well prepared, and heavy bows and crossbows were moved out on both sides and placed on the grooves of the city wall. Each shot could take away a large number of enemy troops.

As a result, overnight, the ladders could not be erected, the carts could not break through the city gate, and the dead and wounded enemy troops under the city had piled up like a mountain, while the real siege equipment and catapults were still among the Chinese army behind.

At dawn, the vanguard army attacked for another hour. Knowing that the city was difficult to conquer, they withdrew about ten miles, preparing to find a better place to camp.

At this moment, the city gate is upstairs.

Cao Ang came from the outside, his steps were extremely fast, and he strode into the hall with great strides, while Xu Chu followed behind him all the time.

"What about people?"

Cao Ang looked very anxious, "Where is he? Where did he go?"

"Why haven't you come back yet? Didn't you say you were only exploring the surrounding area? You said that as long as you check the location of Liu Xun's army, you will come back right away?!"

"We have repelled their vanguard, why haven't they come back?"

Cao Ang was really anxious at this time. If something happened to Xu Zhen outside, he didn't know how to explain it to his father.

Immediately behind, Xu Chu looked calm, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "My lord, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your lord."

"The old guards around him are almost all fine cavalry, and the leopard cavalry who are supporting him are also tacitly trained soldiers and horses day and night, so nothing will happen."

"Eldest son, don't worry, now we only need to defend Shucheng. Judging from today's onslaught, Liu Xun's vanguard general is not good at attacking fortifications, so he suffered a lot of losses. He wanted to make contributions as soon as possible, but it was indeed wasted. We defend a lot."

Zhuge Liang stepped forward to hold his fists, and said to Cao Ang: "Since ancient times, defending the city has been the life of the three armies, fighting with their lives to be the first to ascend. Shouchun's soldiers and horses are in such a state that they want to consume our armaments."

"The crossbow arrows were all shot last night, and we need to continue to replenish them."

"When the soldiers in the city attack the city next time, they may have to resort to manpower for hand-to-hand combat."

Mainly, even if he asked Zhuge Liang, he didn't know where Xu Zhen would be.

Who would have thought that his own lord would be so reckless after practicing bow and arrow, and seemed to be extremely confident in himself, so he insisted on going to the battlefield to try it out.

Try the taste of charge.

It's all right now, I don't know where I went.

"Go and search again, before Shouchun's soldiers attack, find out the whereabouts of brother first."

Cao Ang's face was very ugly. After a long sigh, he closed his eyes and even wanted to cry without tears.

After winning the battle to defend the city, I felt a little confused, and for a moment I didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

They had just left, and within a day, Liu Xun's soldiers and horses had arrived.

This speed was obviously not encountered outside, so where can Xu Zhen go?

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, and a lieutenant general walked quickly into the lobby, immediately clasped his fists at Cao Ang, and said loudly, "Your Excellency!"

"Your Majesty is back, General Zhao beheaded Liu Xun, and is now entering the city!"

"Your Majesty said, pass on the head of Liu Xun to the lieutenant generals in order to strengthen the army, and then send this head into the enemy's army to kill their army!"

"what?!"

Cao Ang's eyes widened, his eyes were full of wonderful brilliance, and he even had a little expectation, so he quickly walked up to him.

Asking again as if to confirm: "Really?"

"Exactly!"

Cao Ang, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. They didn't expect that they could make a difference!

"Go! Come and see!"

They came out of the city gate, and saw that Xu Zhen had come back from the city, and they had pulled an unknown number of horses, all of which were empty horses.

Holding a human head in Zhao Yun's hand, he raised it high above his head, his face was joyful and relaxed, he really was a general who had returned from victory.

After stepping over the corpses on the ground, the white horse was almost stained red with blood.

Such a gesture is of course a big victory!At this moment, above the city gate, it can be said that the crowd was excited and cheered continuously.

At this moment, everyone is naturally excited, just waiting for Xu Zhen to enter the city and spread Liu Xun's head to all the troops in the city.

And Xu Zhen was also directly pulled into the city gate by Cao Ang. He saw Dian Wei's injury was also shocking.

Therefore, it can be almost guessed that the emergency situation at that time must be almost the same as when it was in Wancheng.

At this moment, there was no panic on Xu Zhen's face, but a little calm.

"It's not bad to charge into battle."

"How did brother kill Liu Xun?"

"We were ambushed at the small mountain pass for two days and nights, and our rations were almost exhausted, so we had to save money."

"Finally, we finally got Liu Xun's army," Zhao Yun said cheerfully, his face beaming with joy, "Thanks to Dian Wei! It was he who proposed to press forward by several tens of feet, and he almost reached the side of the road."

"If he is discovered, he will really be besieged to death. As a result, Liu Xun trusted the former army too much, and didn't send people to investigate carefully. He only wanted to pass quickly."

"Only in this way can meritorious deeds be built."

"Now, let's wait for Liu Xun's head to be sent outside, so that his soldiers and horses will be shaken, and we will wait for the opportunity to kill them, and maybe we can defeat them in a few days!"

Zhao Yun has almost already thought up the next battle.

Although there are still a steady stream of enemy troops outside, if they continue to attack, they will naturally lose their commander. If this matter spreads to Jiujiang Shouchun, Yuan Shu will of course be furious.

The impact of this will be even greater.

Xu Zhen immediately said: "Immediately send an order to send Liu Xun's head outside the enemy's camp, and let them pick it up by themselves."

"These thieves actually don't have too many big thoughts in their hearts. They are mostly based on interests. They will never become arrogant soldiers because of Liu Xun's death. You don't have to worry about it."

Xu Zhen's face immediately became extremely confident, and he did hear a few shouts last night, but according to his observation, these soldiers didn't have much respect for Liu Xun.

In other words, when Yuan Shu recruited these thieves, he never let them go through battles with each other and cultivate such feelings, and the generals didn't have enough charisma.

In addition, Yuan Shu may have already lost the support of the Han Dynasty by usurping the Han Dynasty.

"Not bad!"

Cao Ang was deeply convinced and firmly asserted.

To be honest, even though he won the battle today, his mind is still wandering outside, unable to settle down at all.

But after Xu Zhen came back at this moment, his mind is now much more stable, his thinking is much clearer, and he is no longer confused.

"Zilong, send the order immediately."

"it is good!"

"Order the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to get ready and go out of the city to meet the enemy at any time!"

Cao Ang gave the order.

At this time, Liu Xun had already been killed, and all opportunities were in sight.

As long as he can achieve something in Lujiang, Yuan Shu's army will be in chaos, the army's morale will be dispersed, and the people will be uneasy.

This battle can be won!

The matter of Jiujiang's usurpation will definitely end before this winter.

This feat must be the number one...

Everything depends on this time, whether Liu Xun's remaining tens of thousands of soldiers can be defeated in one battle!
