The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 399 Chapter 398
On the city tower of Shanyang County, the archers immediately opened their bows and shot arrows to cover Ling Cao and others from entering the city.

But Zhou Tai led more than a thousand cavalry to chase after Ling Cao's men tightly.

Ling Cao desperately fled back into the city, shouting loudly to the tower to retreat, but the boy with silver helmet and silver armor standing on the tower had disappeared at this time.

Ling Cao rode his horse and galloped, and the soldiers behind him followed closely. Instead of blocking anything, they rushed towards another city gate.

When he ran to the county government office, the young man in silver helmet and silver armor suddenly appeared beside Ling Cao on horseback, and said to Ling Cao, "Father, everything is ready. As long as the enemy dares to enter the city, they will definitely be wiped out." .”

Ling Cao nodded, and said to the silver-armored boy, "Tong'er, thank you for your hard work, you should hurry up and take people out of here, and I will leave the rest to my father."

The boy in silver armor was none other than Ling Cao's son, Ling Tong. Ling Tong was only 12 years old, but his body was very well developed.

It was Ling Tong's task to impersonate Sun Quan this time.

Ling Tong was startled when he heard Ling Cao's words, and asked, "Father, are you not leaving?"

Ling Cao said: "Zhou Tai is a mighty general of the enemy army, we must try to get rid of him, you should lead the others away first, so as not to be seen by others."

"If father doesn't leave, I won't either!" Ling Tong said stubbornly.

"Bastard! This is a military order! There are no fathers and sons in the army. You are my soldier, so you must obey my orders! And you are the most important person. If you don't escape, how will the enemy chase you? What if the enemy sees you?" If there is a flaw, our efforts will be in vain. Do you want to make this operation fail because of me alone?" Ling Cao reprimanded sharply.

"But, father..."

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Ling Cao turned his head and said to the twenty followers behind him, "To protect Ling Tong from the city, we must escort him to a safe place!"

The twenty followers behind Ling Cao responded in unison: "Here!"

Immediately afterwards, these twenty followers surrounded Ling Tong and left Shanyang County, while Ling Tong stayed near the county government of Shanyang County, gathered his subordinates together again, and said to his subordinates: "Today's battle, It is a battle of life and death in Jiangdong. Whether you can win or not depends entirely on you. If anyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, please leave here as soon as possible. I will never stop you. But if you choose to stay, you must put life and death aside. Don't blame me for being ruthless if you run away at this time!"

As soon as Ling Cao's words fell, the more than 500 soldiers around him immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. Among them, more than a hundred wavered and wanted to leave. Ling Cao stepped aside and let them go out of the city. The remaining four hundred The soldiers expressed their willingness to advance and retreat together with Ling Cao, even if it means death, they are not afraid.

Ling Cao then organized these 400 people to block the streets, preparing to fight Zhou Tai in the streets, trying to hold Zhou Tai back as much as possible, and then allow more enemies to enter the city.

At the same time, Ling Cao sent another entourage to report to the outside of the city, so that the ambush soldiers outside the city are ready. After a quarter of an hour, he will come out of the city, hoping that the ambush soldiers outside the city will respond!

Immediately afterwards, Ling Cao commanded his subordinates to move out many tables and chairs from the surrounding dwellings, blocking the entire passage, while he and his subordinates lined up behind the obstacles, drawing their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

Zhou Tai led his army into the city and scattered the soldiers who resisted him. When he got near the county government, he saw that the road was full of obstacles and he could not pass through. Condition.

But seeing Ling Cao organized about three or four hundred subordinates, all of them were ready to shoot.After Zhou Tai realized the danger, he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and hide!"

At the same time as Zhou Tai gave the order, hundreds of arrows "swish" and shot into the air, drawing a graceful arc in the sky, and then flew towards the dense crowd blocking the street .

"what……"

A cluster of arrows fell, and some Yangzhou soldiers were caught off guard. They were shot by the arrows, some were killed by an arrow, and some were injured by the arrows, and they wailed for a while.

"Quickly disperse!" Zhou Tai ordered loudly, and the soldiers who were congested on the road dispersed into the buildings on both sides, looking for cover.

Zhou Tai hid behind the wall of a private house, summoned his two military commanders, and ordered them to lead a team to go around from the left and right wings, while he stayed here to attract the enemy.

After the order was issued, Zhou Tai and the others divided into three groups. Zhou Tai stayed here and organized the archers to shoot at the opposite side, while his two army Sima led three to five hundred people each, and turned around from the side, one left and one right. past.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Zhou Tai and Ling Cao started to shoot at each other. The arrows came and went, and both sides suffered casualties. However, Zhou Tai had a lot of soldiers, and the soldiers behind were still pouring into the city continuously. big advantage.

At this moment, Zhou Tai's two army Sima detoured from the left and right, and directly attacked Ling Cao from the side. After Zhou Tai heard the sound of fighting in front, he immediately rushed up with his men.

Although the avenue was blocked, Zhou Tai rode his horse and detoured through the side alley. Before he could get there, Ling Cao suddenly ordered his troops to withdraw. Hundreds of remnants rushed towards the gate of the city. past.

Zhou Tai didn't want to give up, he ordered people to clear the obstacles on the road, and at the same time led people to pursue him.

Zhou Tai rode past the county government office on horseback, and when he was about to reach the gate of the city, he suddenly found that something was wrong. The city of Shanyang County was in a mess, and there was not a single person in the city.Other than that, they didn't encounter the so-called large army. It seemed that there were only a thousand soldiers led by Ling Cao.

Zhou Tai hastily reined in the horse, looked back, the streets and alleys in the city were full of his subordinates, and it became more and more crowded, at least there were more than [-] people.

Zhou Tai was taken aback, and suddenly had an ominous premonition. Just as he was about to give the order, Ling Cao and his men had already rushed out of Shanyang County, and a moment later, tens of thousands of rockets suddenly flew from the center of Shanyang County. The west side shot over, and the arrows with sparks filled the entire sky, densely packed.

"Oops, it's been tricked! Get out of the county, get out of the county!" Zhou Tai looked up and saw the sparks in the sky, the dense rockets flying towards the city, he shouted loudly while running forward with.

Zhou Tai brought hundreds of cavalry with him, and when he ran to the gate of the city, tens of thousands of rockets landed in the city of Yanyang County. Following the traces of some liquid on the ground, it spread rapidly to the surroundings, gradually forming a sea of ​​flames.

"what……"

In an instant, the people in the city turned on their backs, and the fire soon turned into a raging fire, which quickly devoured everything in the city, and gradually formed raging fire dragons, which opened their bloody mouths and stretched out their scorching tongues. It was swallowed into the mouth of the fire dragon.

Chen Deng, who was watching the battle on the other side of Shanyang County, originally had a happy smile on his face, but when he saw the flames in the county town and the thick smoke billowing, many soldiers rushed out from the gate of the city, with bruises all over their bodies. It was a scorching mark, but only a moment later, the fire dragon sealed the city gate, and the entire county town became a scene of fire, with endless screams.

At this moment, Chen Deng was shocked. He never thought that he would encounter such a situation.Standing there for a while, not knowing what to do.

Before Chen Deng could react, bursts of shouts came from all directions at the same time, and groups of people with white cloth belts wrapped around their heads and bodies emerged and rushed towards Chen Deng.

Seven generals, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi, led their respective teams and came out from seven different directions, forming a huge pocket, and Chen Wu Deng and his subordinates were all surrounded, and directly in front of them was the burning Shanyang County.

Chen Deng never dreamed that he would encounter such a situation. He immediately commanded his subordinates to defend, but it was too late. Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, Dong Xi Waiting for the people to rush forward quickly, before Chen Deng gave an order, the army had already rushed to the front, directly colliding with Chen Deng's army.

Chen Deng and others were killed by surprise. Although Chen Deng tried his best to order to maintain the army's fighting, his army was too large, and the scope of his orders was very limited. Only one or two thousand people around him could clearly understand his orders. The remaining 2000 people could not understand Chen Deng's order, so that they fell into chaos for a while.

At the same time, Zhou Tai led more than 300 cavalry and rushed out of the county seat by chance, but just out of the wolf's den, they fell into the tiger's mouth again. Zhang and others led their troops to kill Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was outnumbered and expected to be unable to resist, so he quickly led his cavalry to find Chen Deng.He circled half of the county town, and the screams and fighting sounds kept coming from his ears.

When Zhou Tai saw Chen Deng's troops, he found that Chen Deng was under fierce enemy attack. Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, who were accustomed to fighting All the generals in the army appeared here, the Yangzhou army was in chaos, and Chen Deng was surrounded heavily.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai immediately led his men to rescue Chen Deng.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang joined forces to attack Chen Deng. Chen Deng's command went down to fight calmly. With the help of soldiers, some unfavorable factors were temporarily eliminated, and they almost formed a confrontation with Cheng Pu and Han Dang.

However, Cheng Pu and Han Dang were both brave and good at fighting, and no one in Chen Deng's army could resist. Seeing Cheng Pu and Han Dang gradually approaching Chen Deng, Chen Deng was helpless.

At this moment, Zhou Tai led the army to kill from behind, raised the knife in his hand, and fell to the ground one by one. Zhou Tai's sword skills are superb, and his subordinates are also elite soldiers. Opened a gap, rushed in front of Chen Deng, took Chen Deng and killed him.
