The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211 Chapter 210
Tai Shici ordered all the cavalry to stop and rest in place. At this time, the night had fallen, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the entire moon, and the earth was pitch-black.

When the soldiers came out, they all carried dry food. At this time, it was dark and everyone was tired and hungry, so they took out water bags for themselves, ate dry food, and drank a few sips of water. As for the horses, they put them on the road. Graze in the nearby grass.

After a short rest, about half an hour later, Tai Shici ordered the soldiers to get on their horses again and continue to advance towards Jinyang City.

Out of caution, Tai Shici specially sent several scouts to Jinyang City to inquire about the news before them.

In an unnamed mountain more than 30 miles south of Jinyang City, Cao Cao has led his army to lie in ambush here for a long time. This is the only way to Jinyang.

After his death in the evening, Cao Cao led his army to arrive here. After surveying the terrain, he ordered all the soldiers to ambush in the mountains on both sides of the road.

The mountain is not very high, but the road is lined with dense shrubs and grass, which is the best place to ambush.

At this time, the scouts sent by Tai Shici flew past the official road. Cao Cao could see clearly the grass on both sides of the road. He felt that Tai Shici's army was not far away.

Sure enough, after about a stick of incense, there was a chaotic sound of horseshoes on the dark official road, one after another, there should be thousands of cavalry.

Cao Cao then made all the ministries ready to attack him after hearing his order.

In the night sky, the cold moon finally broke through the cover of the dark clouds and sprinkled its bright light on the earth.

Reflecting the moonlight, Cao Jun could vaguely see Tai Shici riding a fast horse, rushing to the front of the team, followed by hundreds of cavalry, galloping past the official road.

When Tai Shici and the others were almost halfway through, Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Fire the arrows!"

Following Cao Cao's cry, countless arrows were shot from both sides of the road, and all ambush soldiers appeared on both sides of the long official road.

At the same time, Dian Wei was holding a pair of big iron halberds and riding a tall horse, followed by [-] cavalrymen, directly blocking Tai Shici's path.

"Kill!"

On the hillsides on both sides of the road, the Huns cavalry swarmed up, condescending, and swooped down, while the soldiers of the Cao army cooperated with the actions of the Huns cavalry with bows and arrows.

Behind Taishici's army, Xia Houyuan led [-] cavalry to block the road, blocking all Taishici's army in this narrow official road that is several miles long.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows kept coming, and Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others were caught off guard. They didn't expect that Cao Cao would not attack Jinyang City, but set up an ambush here.

Fortunately, Tai Shici's subordinates have undergone strict training, and the discipline is very strict. Even if they encounter this kind of attack, they will not become flustered. The army will be in units of hundreds, and the centurion will be in charge of commanding the battle.

Facing the suddenly rushing Huns cavalry, Tai Shici and the others showed no fear at all. Instead, they fought angrily. Tai Shici, holding a spear, rode his horse forward and ran directly towards Dian Wei who was killing him.

The two horses met, and the spears and halberds were raised simultaneously. Tai Shici and Dian Wei quickly fought together.

Zhang Liao was in the middle of the team, commanding the cavalry to fight with the cavalry of the Huns, and also to face Xiahou Dun who rushed over. The two of them held both guns at the same time.

And Gao Shun, who was at the back of the team, was also attacked fiercely by Xia Houyuan. Even though the cavalry around him were all elite, many people died out of being unprepared for such a sudden blow.

For a while, the melee started. Cao Cao surrounded Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others with [-] Hun cavalry, [-] head cavalry, and [-] infantry.

A moment later, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun were successfully separated, and then concentrated their superior forces to defeat them one by one.

All three were severely injured, and the cavalry around them continued to fall, but seeing Cao Jun's encirclement getting thicker and thicker, the three of them murmured in their hearts, where did Cao Cao get so many troops?

It was Zhang Liao who had sharp eyes and saw that there were Huns on the side of the war, so he sent someone to tell Tai Shici and Gao Shun to stop fighting and withdraw their troops.

At this moment, Tai Shici has been entangled by Dian Wei, no matter how he rushes left and right, he can't get rid of Dian Wei at all, and he can't defeat him either.Dian Wei was like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking tightly to Tai Shici's body.

Under the protection of his own soldiers, Cao Cao stood on a high hill and looked out. Seeing that Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun had been divided into three sections and surrounded by them, Cao Cao was very happy and shouted: "Kill! Kill him! Kill him to death!"

Zhang Liao was wrestling with Xiahou Dun when he suddenly heard Cao Cao's cry, so he looked up and saw Cao Cao riding a horse, standing on a high hill, and the soldiers behind him were holding a big flag, and the flag was flying in the wind swing.

With a quick wit, he flicked his wrist, and his marksmanship suddenly became swift and fierce, and he stabbed Xiahou Dun several times in a row.

Xiahoudun hastily shielded him, but Zhang Liao let him go and rushed towards the high hill where Cao Cao was.

Zhang Liao single-handedly rushed towards Cao Cao's position, stabbed more than ten soldiers to death one after another with his long spear, and squeezed into the crowd of Cao's soldiers in a short time, gradually alienating Xiahou Dun.

When Cao Bing saw Zhang Liao rushing towards him, he kept shooting arrows, but Zhang Liao drove all of them away with his long spear. Not only that, even Cao Bing who came to resist was stabbed to death by him.

In just a moment, Zhang Liao fought a bloody road and got closer and closer to Cao Cao.

Seeing this, Cao Cao on Gaogang immediately sent people to stop them, but they were all stabbed to death by Zhang Liao. If he rushed forward, he would definitely be stabbed to death by Zhang Liao.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately turned his horse's head and retreated sharply.

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to flee, Zhang Liao hurriedly shouted, "Cao thief, don't go away, shoot me!"

Cao Cao's soldiers came to resist one after another, and they were either stabbed to death by Zhang Liao, or swept off their horses, and Zhang Liao seemed to have entered no man's land.

In just a split second, Zhang Liao rode his horse to the top of the hill, killed more than ten soldiers one after another, and then went to look for Cao Cao, but he disappeared.

Zhang Liao turned his head and looked down, but saw that Cao Jun and the Huns had divided his side into three sections, and Taishi Ci was struggling in front. He not only had to fight fiercely with Dianwei, but also guarded against the Huns, and the only cavalry around him was left. There are more than a hundred people.

Seeing this situation, without further ado, Zhang Liao rode his horse and caught up with Cao Jun's banner bearer. With a single shot in his hand, he stabbed the banner bearer to death, captured Cao Jun's commander-in-chief flag, and beheaded a man by the way. .He carried Cao Jun's commander-in-chief flag, held the head in his hand, climbed to a high place, raised it high above his head, and shouted: "Cao Cao has been killed by me, why don't you surrender quickly?"

The sound was like thunder, rolling into the ears. After hearing this cry, all the soldiers of Cao Jun turned their heads to look at Gao Gang.

There was no trace of Cao Cao on Gao Gang, corpses were everywhere, and Zhang Liao was holding a bloody head in his hand, and a handsome flag on his shoulder.

Because the night is difficult to distinguish, and the head is completely unrecognizable, even with moonlight, it is impossible to confirm whether it is Cao Cao's.

Many soldiers of Cao's army suddenly panicked, not knowing whether what Zhang Liao said was true or not, but after a long time, they still did not see Cao Cao's appearance, and their doubts arose in their hearts.

"I've eaten an arrow!" Xiahou Dun drew his bow and set an arrow, shouted, and shot the arrow directly at Zhang Liao.

When Zhang Liao saw the arrow flying towards him, he held the head in his hand and blocked it directly in front of him. The arrow hit the head with a pop.

He immediately dropped his head, swung his sword to cut off the handsome flag, and swooped down the hillside to save Tai Shici from the former army.

Although it is not clear whether Cao Cao is dead or alive, Zhang Yan's army took it seriously and cheered up, their morale immediately rose, and they began to fight back effectively.

Gao Shun, who was in the rear, even gathered all his troops, and then launched an attack together, directly attacking Xia Houyuan, forcing Xia Houyuan to retreat again and again!

Zhang Liao galloped down, single-handedly, relying on his personal bravery, the enemy he killed cried for his father and mother, and his whole body was covered with blood. Down, like a demon from hell.

"puff!"

Zhang Liao stabbed to death a Hun standing in front of him with a single shot, and then turned his spear and swept several Huns off their horses. Not wanting to bump into the Hun King Zuoxian Qubei, he shouted loudly: " Go humble! My lord is very kind, let you go back to the Xiongnu, but you lead your subordinates to make trouble with Cao Cao, what's the reason?"

Going to be sorry, I don't know how to answer, I hesitated for a long time and couldn't get a fart.

Zhang Liao roared: "Lead your subordinates to retreat quickly, or my lord will lead a hundred thousand elite soldiers to destroy your Huns!"

The disgraced man hurriedly rode his horse and ran to the side, and soon came to Hu Chuquan's side, said a few words to Hu Chuquan in a low voice, and then Hu Chuquan ordered to retreat.

The Xiongnu cavalry took the initiative to retreat on the grounds that Cao Cao was dead. As soon as they retreated, Zhang Liao took advantage of the opportunity and rushed directly to the front. The cavalrymen of Cao Jun, the name of the dead book, rushed into the siege directly from behind, swung their spears fiercely, and stabbed at Dianwei's vital points, and at the same time shouted to Tai Shici: "General, go!"

"You guys go first!" Tai Shici didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and shouted to the soldiers behind him, while he held his gun and Zhang Liao fought Dian Wei.

The Xiongnu cavalry retreated very regularly, and the congested mountain road suddenly opened up. Tai Shici's soldiers retreated one after another, and the army drew closer together, twisted into a rope, and continued to fight with Cao Jun here.

"General, it's not suitable to stay here for long, retreat quickly!" Zhang Liao said kindly to Taishi.

Tai Shi said kindly: "Our army has suffered such heavy losses, we must let them pay with blood!"

Zhang Liao said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Preserving strength is the most important thing. Cao's army is waiting for work, and the Huns are helping. I just drove off the Huns cavalry. Once the Huns find that Cao Cao is not dead, they will wake up and surround us. Get up, it will be difficult for us to break through!"

With a trace of hatred, Tai Shici said unwillingly: "Send the order, the whole army retreats!"
