The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 346 Chapter 345
Zhang Yan led Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and a group of [-] cavalry to follow the traces left by Cao Jun and quickly chased them forward. According to the scout report, they were less than ten miles away from Cao Jun.

The cavalry was very fast, and they walked five miles in a short time.Zhang Yan noticed that the group of people behind him became more excited as they got closer to the enemy.

This group of people are all professional soldiers, as long as there is a battle, they are very excited, as if their hands are itchy if they don't kill a few people.

They continued to gallop forward for another three miles. When Zhang Yan and the others passed through a forest, there was a sudden "boom" sound not far behind Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan couldn't be more familiar with this sound. A strong smell of gunpowder also floated over, very pungent.

Zhang Yan hastily turned his face and glanced behind him, but saw more than a dozen cavalrymen turned on their backs in an instant, and three of them were instantly blown to pieces, blood spattered all over the ground, and the horses sitting under them were also killed.

At this moment, one after another explosions sounded on both sides of the road, and the advancing army suddenly became chaotic and fled in all directions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Explosions continued, killing more than 200 cavalry in an instant. Then, clusters of arrows flew over from the woods on both sides of the road. The panicked cavalrymen, without any defense at all, were shot A large piece of death.

"Quickly spread out! Spread out!" Zhang Yan shouted loudly while waving the weapon in his hand to shield the incoming arrows.

Fortunately, this group of cavalry were all well-trained professional soldiers, and they quickly regained their composure, dispersed in groups of three or four, and rode their horses towards the direction of the arrow.

The army was divided into hundreds of troops, and they went to kill on both sides of the road.

Army Sima was in charge of commanding the battle. He saw that the enemy was numerous and powerful, and they were all cavalry, and the weapons such as Thunderbolt, Fire and Thunder had already been used up. It was simply impossible to count on the archers under his command to wipe out these cavalry. impossible things.

Anyway, the task Han Fan gave him was to ambush the enemy. He had already ambushed the enemy and killed almost 500 enemy soldiers, which is considered to have completed the mission.

Thinking of this, Jun Sima immediately ordered to retreat, and he himself even ran, faster than anyone else, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

As soon as the army Sima ran away, Cao Jun, who was ambushing here, suddenly had no leader, lost all fighting spirit, and fled in all directions.

Zhang Yan, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others respectively commanded the cavalry to pursue. Although the woods were not conducive to the cavalry's advance, they had a large number of people, outflanked the left and right, and moved quickly, so they quickly caught up with the ambush soldiers. Raising the weapon in his hand, he slashed and slashed Cao Jun's shit, screaming again and again, and the blood almost stained the entire forest red.

"Don't chase the poor!" Seeing the enemy running away, Zhang Yan immediately stopped the soldiers who wanted to pursue him. In his opinion, these Cao troops in ambush were just mobs, and even if they were killed, it would be of no great significance. .

Zhang Yan's target is not the mob, but Cao Cao.Only by killing Cao Cao can he truly calm down.

Therefore, Zhang Yan regrouped the cavalry, leaving [-] cavalry to clean up the place, bury the soldiers who died in battle, and make statistics so that pensions can be distributed to the families of these soldiers after the war.

Zhang Yan reorganized his army and continued to chase forward with the army. This time, they accelerated their speed and became more cautious because they were ambushed once.

Zhang Yan asked Zhang Liao and Xu Chu to lead a thousand cavalry each, scattered on the left and right wings, and advanced in the shape of "pin".

In addition, Zhang Yan even sent several scouts to investigate!
Because Cao Jun obtained the formula of Thunderbolt, Zhang Yan acted very carefully, for fear of similar situations happening again.Among the more than 500 cavalry, which one is not an elite soldier?If you fight with a knife and a gun, you can use one as ten, or even one as a hundred.

However, in the face of the extremely lethal thunderbolt, these soldiers are all flesh and blood, and they are completely vulnerable.

However, Zhang Yan never regretted that he invented gunpowder ahead of time. In his opinion, as long as there is war, there will be casualties.

In addition, because of the extremely lethality of gunpowder, Zhang Yan wanted to use gunpowder to end the war as soon as possible, unify the country, and then establish a prosperous dynasty.

After a while, the scouts came to report that they found traces of the enemy about ten miles ahead.

Zhang Yan frowned, and immediately ordered: "Advance faster!"

The army moved forward all the way, and met many people who sat down to rest because they were tired from walking. Those people were terrified when they saw Zhang Yan's army chasing after them. The cavalry in orange-red military uniforms ignored them and just chased forward blindly.

Ten miles is not too long, but since there are many people with their families scattered on this road, Zhang Yan's army had to go around, so it took some time.

After rushing for ten miles, they found that Cao Jun, who had been resting here, had disappeared.

Zhang Yan then ordered to continue the chase, and after walking about five miles, he suddenly saw the dust flying in front of him. About 1 Cao Jun soldiers in black uniforms were scrambling to run forward, throwing away their helmets and armor, and they were defeated.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Yan couldn't restrain his inner joy any longer, and shouted loudly: "Cao Cao must be inside, chase after him, whoever can kill Cao Cao will be granted the title of Marquis of a Thousand Households, and rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!
What's more, the army led by Zhang Yan, even if there is no heavy reward, they are all brave people.

As soon as Gan Ning heard Zhang Yan's shout, he immediately became full of energy, and regardless of the injury to his left arm, he rode his horse and galloped like an arrow flying towards the front. The speed of the horse under the seat was also as if it had been injected with chicken blood. It showed amazing explosive power in an instant, surpassing Zhang Yan who was riding the black cloud riding snow horse, and rushed to the front.

After Zhang Yan saw it, his heart was covered with a layer of sadness.

The black cloud treading snow horse under his seat is a good horse born in Wusun. It can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights. Back then, Zang Ba paid a lot of money to buy it. By chance, he subdued this good horse. Since then, the horse has ridden it across the battlefield, invincible.

However, with the passage of time, the dark cloud treading snow horse is getting older and older, and it has passed the golden age of a war horse. Now its physical strength and endurance are not as good as before.

Gan Ning's war horse was bought from Wuhuan, and it was young and strong at this time, not only had stamina, but also had explosive power.

The moment just now was enough to prove the quality of Gan Ning's war horse, and at the same time, it also made Zhang Yan feel a little sympathy for the dark cloud riding snow horse under his seat.

Looking back in the past, when he rode a black cloud riding snow horse, he never charged at the front, leaving the rest of the cavalry far behind, but now, finally, someone can overtake him. It really is the Yangtze River. A strong wave.

It can be seen from this that the Wuyun Treading Snow Horse is indeed old and is no longer suitable for charging. It seems that he will have to find another good horse in the future.

Gan Ning took the lead, and quickly caught up with those Cao Jun, brandishing the steel knife in his hand, he slashed towards Cao Jun, raised the knife and dropped it, only heard a scream, and a fresh human head flew into the air During the attack, blood splashed everywhere, gushing out continuously, making Gan Ning covered in blood.

At the same time, on Zhang Yan's right hand side, Zhang Liao's Luma rode a horse and raised his gun, and also joined the battle circle. Immediately afterwards, Xu Chu also came from the left. The sharp knife was directly inserted into the enemy's flesh, with such force that it quickly cut a bloody path.

Immediately afterwards, three groups of cavalry arrived at the same time. Gan Ning bit the enemy's tail tightly, while Xu Chu and Zhang Liao led the cavalry to assist from the two wings.

Cao Jun was attacked and became even more flustered, and Cao Jun in the front was scrambling to escape.

Zhang Yan and others covered up the killing all the way, and Cao Jun's dead bodies had already reached a thousand people. When Zhang Yan and others were about to kill people, they suddenly heard the sound of clappers, and countless arrows flew over from both sides of the road.

"what--"

The rise of Zhang Yan's army was killing, no one noticed, the terrain around them, tens of thousands of Cao Jun appeared from the dry ditch on both sides of the road, holding crossbows one after another, and rushed towards Zhang Yan who was chasing and killing Cao Jun. Yan and the others fired a burst of fire.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Zhang Yan and the others were completely unprepared, and they never imagined that Cao Jun, who had already dispersed, was still in ambush. Those arrows not only shot at the cavalry on horseback, but also shot at the horses under the cavalry seats.
All of a sudden, people turned on their backs and screamed again and again. In front of Cao Jun's powerful arrow array, hundreds of horses were shot down, and the knights on horseback were also shot to death. Blood flowed on the official road and piles of corpses.

"Herod—"

The black cloud treading snow horse under Zhang Yan let out a miserable long hiss, and was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and the blood flowed out continuously, and his whole body was blood red.

However, the Wuyun Treading Snow Horse did not fall down. After a long hiss, he endured the pain and carried Zhang Yan forward for more than a mile. After taking Zhang Yan out of the ambush circle, he fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhang Yan was overturned from the horse's back and rolled to the side. At this time, Wuyun Treading the Snow Horse fell to the ground, bleeding profusely, already dying, snorting non-stop, with black eyes, Looking at Zhang Yan in the distance, after a while, he closed his eyes and never moved again.

"Wuyun Treading Snow!" Seeing that the horse under his seat had stopped moving, Zhang Yan cried out in grief and indignation, got up, and quickly ran towards the Wuyun Treading Snow horse.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Suddenly, a series of arrows shot towards Zhang Yanji. Zhang Yan, who was running, was defenseless. Seeing that the arrows were about to be shot, it was too late for Zhang Yan to dodge. The breath of death came towards him, his heart skipped a beat, and a thought quickly flashed through his mind: "Am I going to die like this? I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"
