The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 226 Chapter 225
The sound of rumbling horseshoes came from far and near, Xu Huang stepped on the horse, holding the Eight Diagrams Xuanhua axe, like a tiger with wings added, and led the five hundred cavalry behind him, roaring towards the soldiers of Yuan Jun who were chasing him .

The soldiers of Yuan Jun were chasing, when they suddenly saw a group of cavalry coming, about 500 cavalry, everyone was panicked and retreated quickly.

"Kill!"

Xu Huang took the lead, took the lead, rode his horse and galloped wildly, brandishing the Eight Diagrams Xuanhua axe, like an off-string arrow, flew towards Yuan Jun's soldiers and killed them.

With the help of the horse's running speed and the great impact force, Xu Huang went forward without hesitation, and rushed directly into Yuan Jun's soldiers with a "boom", directly knocking several Yuan Jun soldiers flying far away, and fell heavily to the ground , can no longer get up.

And Xu Huang even swung the Bagua Xuanhua axe, slashing left and right, and no one could beat him wherever he passed.

"boom!"

An even bigger bang came from behind Xu Huang, and all five hundred cavalry rushed up. Yuan Jun soldiers who had been chasing Xu Huang just now suddenly encountered cavalry, and the situation changed drastically. The infantry could not stop them, so they had to fight desperately. Back quickly.

However, the soldiers chasing up from behind didn't understand what happened in front of them. The two waves of soldiers collided and blocked the road, causing a burst of confusion.

The [-] cavalry led by Xu Huang rushed over directly, holding up their weapons, and slaughtered these Yuan Jun soldiers at will. The soldiers who were killed fell into disrepair, crying for their father and mother, and scattered in all directions, but were rushed by the cavalry led by Xu Huang. Below the bank.

Standing on the bank, Lei Xu had a clear view of the situation on the other side. In just a short while, he lost more than a thousand soldiers, and he was also in a hurry, wanting to drive the army to fight, but due to Gaojiahe's Blocked, but unable to quickly reach the other side.

"Archer ready!"

Lei Xu couldn't cross the river, but he couldn't let the enemy be so rampant. Seeing that there were only a few hundred cavalry, he guessed that they might be sent by the enemy to harass him. In addition to the previous haunting incident and the collapse of the wooden bridge, all kinds of things were related. Together, they all seem to be enough to illustrate a problem, that is, the enemy does not want the army to cross the river.

He had lost contact with Ji Ling's army for a whole day, and the scouts he sent never returned. He didn't know what happened in front of him, but through the various behaviors of the enemy army, it was not difficult for him to guess, The enemy must have surrounded Ji Ling with a large army, otherwise, they would not have sent this group of cavalry here to harass him.

Following Lei Xu's order, the archers came to the shore one after another, drew their bowstrings full, set up their bows and arrows, and raised their heads to the sky at a 45-degree angle. Everything was ready and only waited for an order.

"Fire the arrows!" Lei Xu yelled loudly when he saw that the archers were ready.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows shot out one after another, and shot wildly towards the opposite bank.

Seeing this, Xu Huang immediately ordered to retreat to avoid being hurt by the arrows.

Fortunately, he made a decisive decision. As soon as this side retreated, thousands of arrows fell one after another on the other side. It was extremely thrilling.

At this time, Xu Huang made his subordinates laugh out loud, and he himself got up his breath and shouted to the other side: "The wooden bridge is broken, let me see how you cross the river! Ji Ling has also been surrounded by our army." Ma Qiuju, our army will launch a general offensive tomorrow morning, and by then, Ji Ling's troops will definitely be wiped out! Hahaha..."

Lei Xu heard it in his ears, but remembered it in his heart. He didn't worry about Ji Ling's death or life. What he worried about was his brother Lei Bo.

He frowned, and when he saw Xu Huang and others withdrawing their troops, he immediately asked someone to build a wooden bridge overnight, preparing to cross the river to Machuju tonight!

Yuan had many soldiers. After Lei Xu gave an order, tens of thousands of soldiers went to cut down trees one after another, and then built a pontoon bridge on the Gaojia River.The whole process only took half an hour.

Sure enough, there are many people and great power.

Li Feng escaped back by chance, but was reprimanded by Lei Xu, and asked him to lead the rear army. He himself led an army of [-] in front, and asked Li Feng to lead the army to follow closely. The whole army must speed up and arrive before dawn. Machu poly.

After this order was issued, there were many complaints among Yuan Jun's officers and men. They were exhausted after marching for days, and now they had to rush to Maqiuju, which is [-] miles away, in the starry night. .

But the order is like a mountain, and if you don't leave, you can follow the military law. Lei Xu is also a famous thunder tiger. No one dares to offend him, for fear of offending Lei Xu and becoming a ghost under the sword.

However, more than 200 wounded soldiers who fell from the bridge were left behind because they were unable to walk. For a while, the soldiers of Yuan Jun were very envious, and they really hoped that they could become wounded soldiers.For this reason, many soldiers used their brains and mutilated themselves one after another, turning themselves into wounded soldiers, and then stayed.

As a result, the number of wounded soldiers suddenly changed from more than 200 to more than 1000.

Within half an hour, Yuan Shu's army had all crossed the Gaojia River, and marched towards Maqiu mightily.

When Yuan Jun was far away, Xu Huang quietly returned to Gaojiahe with 1000 cavalry. He saw more than [-] wounded soldiers raised a bonfire on the river bank. Then he showed a smile.

Xu Huang quietly returned to the ruins, and then carefully led the soldiers to the place where the wounded soldiers were stationed. Taking advantage of the night, he suddenly launched an attack and killed all the more than 1000 wounded soldiers.

After that, Xu Huang asked people to take off all the clothes of the wounded soldiers, and collected the clothes of the soldiers who had been killed by them, covered the soldiers, and then swaggered here to rest, no longer having to worry about being killed by Yuan Jun. The soldiers found out.

However, the [-] cavalry went back to hide in the distance. After all, Yuan Jun's soldiers were all infantry, so the appearance of cavalry was too eye-catching.

……

Xiqu Yangcheng, county government.

In Zhang Yan's room, the lights were brightly lit. Although it was late at night, he did not rest, but was waiting for the news from the scouts from all sides.

At the same time, he was also paying close attention to Xu Huang's situation, especially the place where Xu Huang was ambush.

Not long after, a scout came to Zhang Yan's door. The door was not closed. The scout stood at the door and saw Zhang Yan sitting in front of the desk and reading a book in his hand. He immediately said, "Report My lord, Lei Xu and Li Feng marched in the starry night, have crossed the Gaojia River, and are heading towards Xiquyang."

Zhang Yan put down Sun Tzu's Art of War, raised his head, and said to the scouts, "Oh? How is the situation at Xu Huang's place? Let me tell you in detail."

The scout then reported the situation at Xu Huang's place to Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan laughed and said, "This Xu Huang, I didn't expect that Yuan Shu's army would cross the Gaojia River by accident...you hurry up and give it to me." The various ministries sent orders to get them ready for battle, there may be a big battle tonight!"

"Here!"

After the scouts left, Zhang Yan couldn't sit still any longer, so he immediately went to the lobby, and asked Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Lu Su to come over, and after some discussion, the three of them unanimously suggested that Zhang Yan should use the county seat. The county magistrate who surrendered went to take Lei Xu and Li Feng to rest in the city, and then beheaded them. Without the generals who commanded the army, Yuan Jun would be leaderless and easier to deal with.

Zhang Yan felt that this plan was good, so he asked Zhao Fang, the county magistrate, to come here.

Zhao Fang is the magistrate of this county. He was already asleep, but he was suddenly summoned. He felt uneasy psychologically, so he got dressed and went into the hall.

"My subordinate, Zhao Fang, pay my respects to the General!" Zhao Fang knelt down and bowed as soon as he entered the hall.

"Magistrate Zhao, get up and talk!"

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Fang stood up slowly from the ground, and then asked, "I don't know if the general summoned the officials here, did he have any orders?"

"Well, County Magistrate Zhao is smart. I do have something I want you to do, but I don't know if you are willing or not?" Zhang Yan asked.

Zhao Fang kept an eye out and asked, "I don't know what the general wants to do?"

Zhang Yandao: "The scouts came to report that Lei Xu and Li Feng have led the army across the Gaojia River and are rushing towards here in a hurry. It is estimated that the army will reach Xiquyang City in less than half an hour. I will let you go out of the city to meet Lei Xu and Li Feng, and trick them into the city, after that, the government will add officials to you and reward you heavily."

After Zhao Fang heard this, some embarrassment appeared on his face, and he hesitated and said: "General, it's not that the lower officials refuse to go, but that Lei Xu is suspicious by nature, and I'm not very good at lying. Falling into it, wouldn’t it ruin the great general’s good deeds? Why don’t the general send someone else to go!”

"County Zhao!" Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly became fierce, he looked straight at Zhao Fang, and his voice became fierce, "You are the county magistrate of this county, so Lei Xu and Li Feng must be I know you. If you don't go, who else can do it here? Don't talk to me here. You have to know that the lives of your whole family are in my hands. If you don't go, I will Just kill your whole family!"

Zhao Fang frowned, and when he heard Zhang Yan's words, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, and begged for mercy: "Please calm down, general, I really don't lie, just in case..."

"There is no chance! I just want to succeed, not to fail! The life of your family depends on your performance tonight!" Zhang Yan said sharply.

Seeing that there was no way out, Zhao Fang had no choice but to bite the bullet and reluctantly agreed.

"My lord, Lei Xu's former army is less than five miles away from the county seat, and it will arrive in the county seat in a quarter of an hour!" A scout hurried in from the outside and reported the latest information to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan waved his hand to signal the scouts to leave, and then said to Zhao Fang: "Magistrate Zhao, you have heard that Lei Xu is coming soon, you should prepare well, it's up to you tonight. Remember, just put Lei Xu and Li Feng can be brought into the city, if they can't come in at the same time, any one can!"

Zhao Fang nodded helplessly, and slowly exited the hall, still thinking about how to trick Lei Xu into the city!
"Military Master, let Zhao Fang go, can you really trick Lei Xu into the city?" Zhang Yan also asked worriedly.

Jia Xu said: "Zhao Fang is simple and honest on the surface, but in reality he is treacherous. My lord threatens the lives of his whole family. He will definitely do his best to complete this task. Otherwise, his beloved wife, his beloved son, And his parents will be buried with him! Even if Zhao Fang can't complete this task, our army has set up an ambush here, and even Lei Xu and Li Feng can't escape the master's palm!"

Zhang Yandao: "Okay! Then let's go get ready and prepare for the upcoming battle. As long as we annihilate this invading enemy, our army can march straight in and encircle Shouchun with other armies to completely wipe out Yuan Shu." !"
