The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 288 Chapter 287
Just when Yuan Shao asked Chen Lin to write the call to action, Zhang Yan had already published the call to all the heroes in the world to attack Yuan Shao together.

Ruan Yu personally penned this call to action, with fierce words, verbal criticism, and every single word, clearly exposing Yuan Shao's crime of killing the king.

Before Yuan Shao's proclamation was released, a scout over there brought over the proclamation against Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao saw this proclamation, he was so angry that he couldn't calm down and fainted.

Tian Feng quickly asked someone to help Yuan Shao lie on the side of the road, and then picked up the call to action to watch together. After reading it, both of them were sweating profusely on their foreheads, and had to admire the author of the call to action.

The call-to-action is rich in rhetoric, very gorgeous, and it narrates the events vividly and vividly, and there are no dirty words in the curse. In the eyes of Tian Feng and Chen Lin, this call-to-action is really a masterpiece.

"Hey!" Tian Feng sighed heavily, and said slowly, "Zhang Yan was the first to make a big splash, and he was well prepared. It seems that the crime of killing the king this time, the lord has committed the crime! The only feasible thing now is to write you down as soon as possible. The publicity of this call to action may confuse the public and let the heroes of the world wait and see what happens."

Chen Lin nodded, and said to Tian Feng: "Military Master, can I take this proclamation away?"

Tian Feng knew very well in his heart that Chen Lin admired the rhetoric and literary talent of this essay, and took it away only out of appreciation.Not only him, but even himself appreciates the literary talent of the author of this call to arms, wishing to meet in person.However, the call to action was not named, and it is not known who wrote it.

"You can take this proclamation away, but you must not let outsiders see it. I will block all news about this proclamation, so as not to bring turmoil to the army."

Chen Lin understood what Tian Feng meant, and immediately said: "Your official understands!"

In fact, Chen Lin was Yuan Shao's marching secretary, and most of the call-to-action and official documents were ghostwritten by Chen Lin, so Chen Lin knew the military secrets of Yuan Shao's army better than anyone else.And he was also regarded by Yuan Shao as his confidant.But in fact, he didn't regard himself as Yuan Shao's confidant, but just as a relationship between superior and subordinate, let alone being loyal to Yuan Shao.

Chen Lin took away the proclamation, and after leaving the big tent, Tian Feng called the military doctor and asked him to diagnose Yuan Shao.

The military doctor came and said that Yuan Shao had just passed out from anger and he would be fine after resting for a while, and prescribed another medicine for Yuan Shao to take.

At the same time, Zhang Yan's army was waiting for Wen Chou's army to arrive.

After a stick of incense, Wen Chou led the army to appear. Like Yan Liang, he always rushed to the front of the team, but a little different from Yan Liang, when Wen Chou saw that the official road ahead was full of enemy troops waiting in formation , very decisively ordered the army to stop advancing and stay in place to wait for orders.

Wen Chou frowned, and with eagle-like eyes, quickly scanned the army in front of him. In front of him were rows of armored cavalry armed to the teeth. Even the horses under the seat were covered with a layer of armor. Armor, and the horses were locked together by iron chains. Each soldier held a strange weapon in his hand, like a stick or a thorn, and he couldn't name it.

In addition, these armored cavalry were more or less stained with blood. Behind them were endless soldiers, and on their two wings, thousands of bows and crossbows were scattered. Hand, the entire army presents a fan-shaped encirclement state.

Where is Yan Liang?
Wen Chou didn't know for sure, but according to his calculations, Yan Liang might have already suffered a tragic accident, or was transferred away from the mountain by the enemy.

In short, Yan Liang is still alive and dead, and the whereabouts of the entire army are also unknown.

Wen Chou murmured in his heart, Yan Liang opened the way in front of him, all the elite cavalry from the Jizhou army, five thousand elite cavalry, it is absolutely impossible to say nothing, they must be led to other places by the enemy up.

Before Wen Chou could make a decision, he saw the flag suddenly waved in the enemy's camp, and the armored cavalry in the front row swayed majestically, and a row of ten horses rushed over slowly.The crossbowmen scattered on the two wings also began to move, always keeping pace with the armored cavalry.

Wen Chou sneered, swung the spear in his hand forward, and shouted: "Kill!"

Following Wen Chou's order, Wen Chou rushed out first, mounted his horse and raised his gun, and moved forward quickly, and the cavalry behind him also rushed over.

The two armies confront each other head-on, there is no conspiracy, no tricks, and no ambushes, the fight is all about strength.

Seeing Wen Chou leading the army rushing, Zhang Yan, who was in the middle army, smiled. He immediately ordered Xu Chu to lead another thousand chain horses to make a detour from the flanks, preparing to outflank, and wanted to wipe out Yan Liang just like Yan Liang. Wen Chou.

The chain of cavalry rushing to the front also began to speed up, and the cavalry rushed towards Wen Chou and others with maces horizontally.

After a while, there was a loud "boom", and the two armies clashed together. Wen Chou raised his gun and stabbed, but the iron gun in his hand couldn't pierce the armor of the enemy soldiers. Instead, it was because he was too strong. In a daze, he knocked a cavalryman off his horse.

As soon as the cavalryman fell off his horse, he fell heavily to the ground, but because the distance between the rows of serial horses was always maintained, he was not trampled by the subsequent horses. Instead, he quickly got up from the ground and walked quickly. rush forward.

At this time, the other nine soldiers waved their maces and attacked Wen Chou. Wen Chou immediately raised his gun to parry, but at this moment, the horse under Wen Chou's seat suddenly let out a hysterical scream. He fell to the ground with a bang, knocking Wen Chou off his horse.

It was only then that Wen Chou noticed that the soldier who had fallen off his horse and was hit by him just now had returned, and he swung a mace and hit the unsuspecting horse under Wen Chou's seat.

Fortunately, Wen Chou was nimble, turned over with a kite, and stood up from the ground, but he didn't expect that two maces struck him head-on. He gasped, and immediately did a backflip again, dodging for a while. robbery.

At this time, the cavalry behind Wen Chou also rushed over, and stabbed the armored cavalry with their weapons one after another. Who knew that the armored cavalry had such a strong defense that their spears could not pierce their armor. kill.

Seeing this, Wen Chou couldn't help frowning. Seeing that there were rows of armored cavalry behind him, even if the first row was killed, the second row would immediately fill in the gaps.What's more, these armored cavalry are not easy to deal with, and his bravery, at this time and place, can't play any role, and he almost lost his life.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows like locusts suddenly shot over the sky and covered the sky, and the cavalry behind Wen Chou were shot down immediately, and many of them fell off their horses.

Wen Chou immediately turned over and jumped onto a war horse, and suddenly saw an armored cavalry slowly turning around from the flank, as if trying to cut off his way back.

Wen Chou made a decisive decision, immediately turned his horse's head, and ordered: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Following Wen Chou's order, the army turned their horses around, and the rear team became the front team, retreating sharply.

Arrows kept coming from behind. Wen Chou leaned on his horse and looked back, but inadvertently saw a big wooden sign standing on the side of the road. At the top, there is still a bloody human head.His eyesight was excellent, and when he glanced over, on that pale, blood-stained face, there was a pair of big eyes staring like copper bells, and it turned out to be Yan Liang.

Suddenly, Wen Chou felt a throbbing pain in his heart. This Yan Liang, who had been his brother for many years, was killed!
Shock!

Wen Chou didn't feel anything other than shock.

Yan Liang's death also indicated that the five thousand elite cavalry he brought were also wiped out, and the opponent had an almost invincible cavalry formation with chained chains. How would he fight this battle?
Seeing Wen Chou retreating with his troops, Zhang Yan did not order to pursue them. After all, his cavalry were all heavy cavalry, and there was no way they could catch up with Wen Chou, so why bother in vain.

This battle did not bring much joy to Zhang Yan. Due to Wen Chou's calmness and decisiveness, only more than 200 of his subordinates were killed in battle.

After Zhang Yan reorganized his troops, he asked Xu Chu to lead the two thousand iron chain horses to advance along the official road, while he led the army to follow closely behind. Since Yuan Shao didn't come to find him, then he went to find Yuan Shao by himself. .

At this time, the scouts came to Zhang Yan and reported to Zhang Yan that the army of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had arrived in Lihu, and asked for further instructions.

Zhang Yan then ordered Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to lead their own troops to support him, while the [-] militiamen stayed in Lihu for the time being and did not participate in the war.

Wen Chou led the army to retreat quickly. On the way, he met a scout who was going to deliver orders to Yan Liang. Wen Chou stopped him and told him to go back and tell Yuan Shao that Yan Liang's army was wiped out. Zhang Yan's army was too strong for him to resist. He prayed for reinforcements .

Wen Chou, on the other hand, stayed here and sent scouts to inquire about Zhang Yan's army. When he learned that Zhang Yan was marching slowly, he led the army back slowly, trying to avoid confrontation with Zhang Yan's army, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. casualties.

Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou are equally famous, Yan Liang is just an ordinary man. In comparison, Wen Chou is brave and resourceful. Of course, his resourcefulness is only compared to Yan Liang, and he is only a leader who knows a little about soldiers and horses. There is still a gap between generals and those famous generals who are good at using soldiers.

The scouts knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately went back to report to Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao had come to his senses and had just taken the medicine. The scouts came back from the front and reported to Yuan Shao that Yan Liang's army had been wiped out and that Wen Chou was begging for reinforcements. past.

"Son Zhang Yan, bully me too much! Pass the order, the whole army will set out, and I will fight Zhang Yan to the death!" Yuan Shao became furious, disregarding anyone's persuasion, and issued the order to march.
