The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 286 Chapter 285
285 Be Careful in Ambush
Yan Liang was running fast when he suddenly saw a knight and a carriage blocking the road in front of him, but he saw that the knight on horseback was very dazzling. He was riding a black and beautiful war horse, wearing a golden helmet and a golden coat. Armor, a pair of dark eyes are staring at him closely, the face under the golden helmet is so familiar.

It's Zhang Yan!
Yan Liang's eyes immediately glanced around, and there was a vast expanse of white snow all around, and it was clear at a glance whether there was anyone there.

"No ambush?" Yan Liang was a little suspicious, and none of the scouts sent out before found any enemy troops.

However, without anyone's protection, as the leader of the enemy army, Zhang Yan, the primary target of the Qing emperor this time, would appear here alone. What does he want to do?
Yan Liang didn't dare to rush forward too fast, so he stopped the army immediately, and looked carefully to confirm that there were no ambushes around, so he boldly walked forward for a while.

Zhang Yan has been watching every move in front of him. At this time, he has asked Jia Xu to call Liu Xie out of the carriage, and he asked Yan Liang who is opposite him loudly, "Is this Yan Liang here?"

Yan Liang was already walking very close to Zhang Yan, but he still kept a certain distance. At this time, he happened to see clearly the wooden sign standing beside the road. He didn't know many words, but he still knew these words. Yes, it seems to be "be careful there is an ambush here".

Seeing these seven eye-catching big characters, the motor in Yan Liang's head began to spin rapidly, thinking secretly: "If there is really an ambush here, why would Zhang Yan remind himself like this? But if not, he would Hanging such a sign, is it a bluff?"

Yan Liang couldn't figure out why Zhang Yan was standing here alone, so he stayed put and said, "I am Yan Liang, what are you doing?"

"Did Yuan Shao not come?" Zhang Yan asked straight to the point.

Yan Liangdao: "My lord has a secret decree from His Majesty to clear the king's side. Why don't you come? I am the vanguard general appointed by the lord. I was specially ordered to arrest you. Since you are here, I don't have to work hard to go Pengcheng is gone, if you are sensible, you come over obediently and let me tie you up, and I can ask for a whole body for you in front of the lord!"

Zhang Yan sneered, then moved away, and Liu Xie behind him appeared in front of Yan Liang immediately, wearing imperial robes and crowns, looking like a current emperor.

When Yan Liang saw Liu Xie, he was taken aback immediately. Zhang Yan was waiting for them here alone, which was already enough to surprise them. Now that another emperor came, what are they doing here?
Liu Xie trembled, accompanied by Jia Xu, walked up to Zhang Yan, and then shouted loudly: "I am the son of heaven, and I have never issued any secret orders to Yuan Guozhang. You must not be ruled by Yuan Guozhang." ..."

"What is Yuan Guozhang, he is a traitor!" Zhang Yan suddenly interrupted Liu Xie, and said gloomyly.

After Liu Xie heard this, he immediately changed his words: "You must not be fooled by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao issued a false edict, conspiring to rebel, and everyone in the world will be punished. If anyone of you dares to rebel with Yuan Shao, it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans." , the great man Tianwei is still there, you will not have any good results if you follow Yuan Shao, a rebellious minister and traitor, to make trouble. I advise you to wait a moment and turn to the light as soon as possible, maybe you can still make up for your mistakes..."

Liu Xie was still chattering there, and Yan Liang was getting impatient. It turned out that Liu Xie, Zhang Yan and others were waiting for him here, and they came to Xingshi to question him.

No matter how extravagant Liu Xie said, Yan Liang and the others remained indifferent.

Perhaps, Yuan Shao seemed to have sensed Zhang Yan's intentions, so this time when he came to attack Zhang Yan, he used all the Jizhou army from his direct line.

The Jizhou Army followed Yuan Shao through life and death, so naturally they would not be shaken by Liu Xie's words.And the army led by Yan Liang is the direct line of Yuan Shao's direct line.

"Enough!" Yan Liang shouted violently, his voice was like thunder, rolling into his ears.

Liu Xie heard Yan Liang's yell, and saw Yan Liang's ferocious face, his face turned pale with fright, and he backed away again and again.

Before Liu Xie could react, Yan Liang waved the big knife in his hand, swung it forward, opened his mouth, and shouted loudly: "My lord has an order. Anyone who captures and kills Zhang Yan will be rewarded with a thousand gold and made a ten thousand householder! Today, follow me to kill together!"

As soon as the words fell, Yan Liang rushed out, taking the lead and rushing to the front. The soldiers behind him were also gearing up, already impatient. At this moment, the enemy leader was right in front of him, so he must not miss this good opportunity.

So, seeing a crowd of people in the dark, they rode out one after another, waved the weapons in their hands, stretched the bowstring, and started shooting arrows at Zhang Yan.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately turned his horse's head and rode away without saying a word.

Liu Xie was so frightened that he climbed into the carriage and hurriedly urged Jia Xu, "Go, go!"

However, Liu Xie waited in the carriage for a long time, but the carriage did not even move. He became impatient and hurriedly opened the curtain to take a look, but saw Yan Liang rushing towards him with someone, and beside him, Jia Xu didn't know where he had gone, and the two horses driving the cart were also missing one.

Liu Xie suddenly realized that Zhang Yan and Jia Xu didn't want him anymore.Seeing that Yan Liang and others were killed, he was unable to drive and couldn't walk if he wanted to, but he was worried about being killed by Yan Liang, so he jumped off the carriage in a hurry, and then walked on foot on the thick snow, Run back desperately.

steaming...

Yan Liang rushed over on his horse, and was getting closer and closer to Liu Xie. Liu Xie's heart was beating wildly. He looked back, but saw that Yan Liang was less than five meters away from him, while Zhang Yan and Jia Xu were far away from him. Go, in his desperation, he stopped immediately, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Since they don't want me anymore, why do I still go to them? I am the emperor, and they abandon me, isn't it just right? Is it the best time to escape Zhang Yan's claws? Why should I escape!"

Thinking of this, Liu Xie stopped, turned around and shouted at Yan Liang: "I am the emperor, come and save me!"

When Yan Liang heard Liu Xie's cry, he just sneered and shouted loudly: "You are the emperor? If you were the emperor, why would Zhang Yan leave you? He is still playing tricks here, saying that there is an ambush here. You guys are bluffing."

"I'm really the emperor, take me to Yuan Guozhang, he knows me!" Liu Xie shouted hysterically, already filled with fear.

Yan Liang is a bloodthirsty person, anyone in front of him is like an ant.He looked at Liu Xie, who was bony and frail, and Zhang Yan who ran away without thinking, and this place was in the wilderness. If Liu Xie was really the emperor, how could he appear here?

"Emperor? A fake emperor is pretty much the same!"

Yan Liang yelled, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he swung the big knife in his hand, and slashed at Liu Xie.

"what--"

Yan Liang raised his knife and dropped it, and a head fell to the ground immediately. He asked his subordinates to take Liu Xie's head and go to claim credit for Yuan Shao, saying that he had killed a fake emperor Zhang Yan asked to pretend to be.

Then, Yan Liang led the army and chased Zhang Yan and Jia Xu in a mighty way.

The snow was deep and the road was slippery, so Zhang Yan and Jia Xu didn't run very far.They were watching Liu Xie's every move closely, and after seeing Liu Xie beheaded by Yan Liang, they left in peace, with a faint smile on the corners of their mouths.

In fact, even if Liu Xie was not beheaded by Yan Liang, he would be shot to death by the sharpshooter secretly arranged by Zhang Yan.

Anyway, no matter what, Liu Xie must die today, but dying in the hands of Yan Liang is better than being assassinated by Zhang Yan's men.In this way, Zhang Yan can put the crime of killing the king on Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yan and Jia Xu ran away one after the other, but Yan Liang and others followed behind.Soon, Zhang Yan led Yan Liang and others into the encirclement.

"Zhang Yan's traitor! Where can I escape!" Yan Liang chased after him, and the cavalry behind him also drove up one after another, directly entering Zhang Yan's ambush site.

While Zhang Yan was galloping, he suddenly reined in the horse, stayed where he was, turned the horse's head, and watched Yan Liang leading the man to kill him with arrogance, he raised his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then He suddenly waved his hand down.

At this moment, in the woods on both sides of the official road, under the cover of thick snow, groups of soldiers suddenly stood up from under the snow, holding crossbows in their hands, and moved towards Yuan Jun on the official road in the middle. It was a burst of shooting.

Yuan Jun was unprepared, and was caught off guard. Even Yan Liang was shot in the leg by an arrow. In a short time, Yuan Shao's army was turned on their backs, and a large area was shot down.

At the same time, the archers had already fully drawn their bowstrings, and fired another burst of fire towards Yuan Jun's soldiers in the middle of the road.

Bows and crossbows were fired, interlaced with each other, and arrows rained down on Yuan Jun. No matter how sophisticated the army was, it would still suffer a sudden attack under the volley of arrows, and it would suffer heavy losses.

Bow and crossbow each fired a bunch of arrows down, and Yan Liang's 3000 cavalry immediately killed more than 1000 people, leaving only more than [-] cavalry who were still in shock.

Yan Liang was also shot by an arrow in the leg. He saw Zhang Yan's army was in an ambush, surrounded by orange and red. If he didn't retreat, the whole army might be wiped out.

However, at this moment, hundreds of cavalrymen appeared behind Zhang Yan. These cavalrymen were the personal guards of Zhang Yan's subordinates. The horse below is also covered with a vest, and there is a sharp iron pillar standing upright on the forehead, which is used to ram the enemy when charging.

They were in a row of ten and chained together. The cavalrymen on horseback all held a mace and charged forward slowly.

At the same time, Xu Chu also led the same army and blocked Yan Liang's way from behind. There were forests of spearmen on both sides of the road, while the crossbowmen hid behind the spearmen and continued to shoot.

"Surrounded!" Yan Liang muttered in his heart while waving his knife to block the incoming arrows. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the wooden sign that read "Beware of an ambush here" before, and then he understood. Come here, this is Zhang Yan's trick, it turns out that there is really an ambush here.
