The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221 Chapter 220
At Zhang Liao's order, the [-] cavalry were divided into five, and Zhang Liao personally led the [-] cavalry and rushed into the city.

Zhang Liao and the others walked for about half a mile, and suddenly encountered a patrol team of ten people. Since Zhang Liao and the others were still wearing Yuan Jun's armor, that patrol team didn't take Zhang Liao seriously, thinking it was from their own side. The defeated army passed by Zhang Liao and others.

However, Zhang Liao suddenly launched an attack, brandishing the weapon in his hand, and killed nine of the soldiers, leaving only one alive, and asked him about the situation in the city.

The soldier's face turned ashen with fright, fearing death, Zhang Liao answered every question truthfully.

Zhang Liao learned that the four thousand cavalry brought by Ji Ling from Shouchun were crowded in the barracks in the east of the city, so he asked the soldier to lead the way to the barracks.

The other three cavalry teams rushed to the three city gates at the fastest speed, and suddenly attacked the soldiers guarding the gates. Yuan Bing couldn't resist, and many people were beheaded and killed, and the rest all surrendered.

Due to Zhang Liao's lightning attack, the battle at the gate of the city was quickly ended, and no one was spared. At this time, it was the dead of night, and the soldiers and people in the city were all asleep.

Under the leadership of the soldier, Zhang Liao came to the barracks very quickly. Because the barracks was located in the city, no one was guarding it, and the stables were not in the barracks, so Zhang Liao could kill without worrying about the frightened horses rushing indiscriminately. .

He cautiously came to the gate of the barracks, he could vaguely hear thunderous snoring coming from the barracks, and he couldn't help shouting secretly: "God helped me!"

He reorganized his team and shouted to the thousand soldiers behind him: "The meritorious service is today, follow me!"

"Kill!"

Zhang Liao and a thousand soldiers shouted out in unison, the sound was like rolling thunder, deafening.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liao rode his horse and rushed into the barracks with a thousand cavalry.

In the barracks, Chen Lan, Lei Bo and four thousand soldiers were sleeping soundly in the barracks. All four thousand war horses were tied up in the stables. They came all the way from Shouchun. The journey was too tiring and consumed too much energy. So much so that many soldiers were sick, and those who were not sick were exhausted enough. Except for the thousand soldiers that Ji Ling forcibly took away, the rest fell down and fell asleep after enjoying their dinner.

The sound of rolling horseshoes came from far and near, and there was a feeling of vibration on the ground. Many people woke up from their sleep. As soon as they opened their hazy eyes, they suddenly saw a bloody man standing in front of them. They were so scared that their faces turned ashen. , I thought I had encountered a ghost, and before I could open my mouth to shout, a cold light hit my face, I just felt my neck was cold and cut off by something sharp.

A fresh human head was chopped off to the ground, and hot blood gushed out from the cavity continuously, splashing all over the soldiers in the same barracks.

The 500 cavalry led by Zhang Liao were divided into two groups, and [-] people dismounted from their horses. Starting from the first barracks at the entrance of the barracks, ten soldiers entered each barracks. Kill directly.

Zhang Liao led [-] cavalrymen, galloped to the deepest part of the barracks, and without dismounting, directly took torches and threw them into the barracks, intending to set fire to these Yuan soldiers.

Soon, a blazing fire burned in the barracks, and the fire spread rapidly with the wind. Many Yuan soldiers were burned by the fire. When they woke up, they found themselves surrounded by the fire, and they were very frightened. The only thing he wanted to do was to run out of the barracks quickly.

However, when Yuan Bing escaped from the barracks, what awaited them was still death.

Zhang Liao led his soldiers to stand guard outside the barracks. He had already drawn his bow and arrows to the full. Whenever he saw someone coming out, he would shoot quickly.

In addition, there were hundreds of soldiers holding steel knives and guarding the gate of the barracks. Those who were not shot to death by the arrows rushed forward and hacked them all to death.

The fire spread quickly, and in a short while, the raging fire turned into fire dragons, opened its huge mouth, stretched out its tongue, and devoured everything around it.

Chen Lan and Lei Bo were located in the middle of the barracks. When they saw the flames outside and shouts one after another, they looked around and saw that there was no way to retreat, so they rushed to the camp with only five hundred followers. Come out, desire to break out from here!
"Whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows shot continuously from the sky. Chen Lan and Lei Bo pushed aside the arrows and survived, but the soldiers behind them were not spared, half of them were killed by the arrows.

Seeing that Chen Lan and Lei Bo were leading the crowd to break out of the encirclement, Zhang Liao swung the spear in his hand, and the three hundred cavalry behind him gathered around him, and immediately galloped forward.

When they met each other twice, Zhang Liao swung his long spear, he was the first to attack, and stabbed Chen Lan with the first shot. Chen Lan wanted to block it with a knife, but Zhang Liao's attack was too fast, before he swung his weapon, it was sharp The tip of the spear pierced his soft body.

"Ah!" Seeing this, Lei Bo yelled, jumped forward, soared into the air, raised the saber in his hand, and slashed towards Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao quickly drew back his spear and directly blocked Lei Bo's slash. At the same time, his body leaned back, his left leg suddenly stretched out, and he kicked Lei Bo in the heart, sending him flying.

Immediately afterwards, with a flick of his wrist, the spear in his hand flew out with a whoosh, directly piercing Lei Bo's heart. Lei Bo let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground. No more moving.

The whole movement is done in one go, like flowing water.

Chen Lan was stabbed, Lei Bo was stabbed to death, while Zhang Liao's horse was still galloping forward, he drew out his saber, and slashed at Chen Lan who was approaching.

Chen Lan had just got up from the ground, clutching her injured chest, and hadn't reacted yet, but a cold light flashed in front of her, and there was a bloodstain on her neck, and a human head rolled directly to the ground.

Zhang Liao was riding on the horse, bent down suddenly, stretched out his long arm, and pulled out the spear stuck in Lei Bo's body, then quickly put the long sword back into the scabbard with his left hand, grabbed the horse's rein, and stopped immediately. down.

At this moment, [-] cavalrymen passed by him, and directly collided with the people led by Chen Lan and Lei Bo. Borrowing the fast impact of the horses, many people were directly knocked into the air.

Yuan Bing was leaderless, and was surrounded by raging fire and surrounded by Zhang Liao and others. After half an hour of fierce fighting, Yuan Bing's entire army was wiped out, while Zhang Liao's troops still had zero casualties!

Afterwards, Zhang Liao led his army to attack the county government. The county magistrate was afraid of Zhang Liao and led his troops to flee, but all four gates were occupied by Zhang Liao's subordinates, and no one in the city could escape. In desperation, they had to surrender to Zhang Liao.

The sky was about to dawn, and Zhang Liao had completely occupied Xiquyang City with 800 troops, and wiped out [-] soldiers in Xiquyang City with zero casualties.

Zhang Liao climbed up the tower, ordered the soldiers to pull down Yuan Jun's military flag, and planted Zhang Yan's military flag on the top of the city.

After a stick of incense, Xu Huang led [-] cavalrymen to Xiquyang City, and saw his own military flag on the tower, and his own soldiers were also wandering around the top of the city, he couldn't help frowning.

"General, General Zhang seems to have captured this city!" said a military commander beside Xu Huang.

"I'm not blind yet!"

Xu Huang roared angrily, frightening the army Sima beside him to death. He didn't know why Xu Huang suddenly became so irritable.

"Damn it, Zhang Liao took all the credit!" Xu Huang said angrily.

Only then did the military commander know why Xu Huang was angry, so he said to Xu Huang: "General, in the next battle, the general can ask the lord for orders. General Zhang can't take all the credit for it!"

The rest of the soldiers echoed, "Yes, General, we all want to make contributions with the General!"

Xu Huang frowned tightly, and said loudly: "You can rest assured, in the next battle, I will definitely lead you to make achievements, and I will never let Zhang Liao steal the limelight again!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Huang led his army and drove slowly towards Xiqu Yangcheng.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw Xu Huang's army coming, they immediately reported to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao then ordered people to open the city gate and went out of the city to meet him in person.

After meeting each other twice, Zhang Liao stood at the door, clasped his fists towards Xu Huang and said, "General Xu, where is your lord?"

Xu Huang got off his horse, clasped his fists towards Zhang Liao, and said, "My lord is still behind, but it's not too far away from here. I think I'll be there at noon. General Zhang, within a day, you should kill Ji first." Ling, breaking Xiquyang later, this is not a small contribution! I heard that General Zhang never killed a single person when he beheaded Ji Ling. I wonder if there was any damage in this battle?"

"Thanks to my lord's good command and ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities, I was able to lead the army to attack when the enemy was exhausted and careless. Not only did I win the city gate, but I also wiped out 50 soldiers in the city. They suffered injuries of varying degrees, and no one was killed in battle," Zhang Liao said.

When Xu Huang heard this, he was taken aback. He never expected that Zhang Liao would not be killed in this battle.

Although he was jealous of Zhang Liao's successive military exploits, he also had great admiration for Zhang Liao.If he led the army to attack, he couldn't guarantee that no one would be killed in battle. This battle was simply a miracle!
In this battle, Zhang Liao did not lose a single person, so Xu Huang had to feel awe in his heart.

Xu Huang cupped his hands and said, "I never expected that General Zhang would be so brave, Gongming admires him so much!"

"Actually, it's the lord who commanded well, and Wen Yuan just executed it." Zhang Liao said modestly.

In Xu Huang's view, even though all the battle plans were made by Zhang Yan, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and any situation is likely to happen. With [-] troops, [-] soldiers in the city can be wiped out. It is unimaginable that not one person died in battle.

Xu Huang raised his hand, pointed to the military flag on the tower, and asked, "General Zhang, when did the flag go up?"

"About one stick of incense."

"Quickly order someone to pull it down and replace it with Yuan Jun's banner. My lord doesn't want Yuan Jun to know that Xiquyang City has been occupied by our army. My lord has other arrangements." Xu Huang said.

Zhang Liao nodded, and immediately sent someone to change the banner, while he walked side by side facing Xu Huang, towards the city.

Xu Huang's troops also filed into the city, together with Zhang Liao in Xiquyang City, quietly waiting for the arrival of Zhang Yan's army.
