The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 56 056 Chasing and Killing Cao Ren
Under the cold moonlight, Zhang Yan took the lead and took the lead, holding an iron gun, riding a dark cloud and snow horse, and galloped towards the ruins of Guangqi County.

At the same time, tens of thousands of soldiers flocked from all directions, with their heads wrapped around their horses, quietly approaching Guangqi County.

More than 2 Xuzhou soldiers surrounded Guangqi County. Zhang Yan was in the south, Xu Sheng was in the north, Lu Dai was in the east, and Chen Ying was in the west. At the same time, they attacked Guangqi County. Some spearmen and archers lined up on the periphery, blocking the main route of Cao Jun's retreat.

The soldiers of Cao Jun were sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard a cry of killing, and they all woke up from their dreams. Before they had time to figure out the situation, they were stabbed to death by the cavalry rushing quickly.

Zhang Yan led the cavalry to the forefront, blood spattered everywhere he passed, screamed again and again, and went straight to the depths of Guangqi County.The infantry following closely behind the cavalry, like a torrent, made up for the places that the cavalry failed to reach, and Cao Jun's head fell to the ground with the sword in his hand.

Suddenly, Xuzhou soldiers outside lit torches one after another, and the entire Guangqi County was surrounded by torches.Reflecting the light of the fire, they could see that Xuzhou soldiers were harvesting the heads of Cao Jun's soldiers at will, like Xuzhou soldiers who fell from the sky.

Cao Ren was sleeping soundly, and was awakened by the noise from outside. He didn't have time to put on his armor, so he went outside the house immediately, and saw the flames all around him, and the shouts of killing were endless.

At this time, a military Sima ran over in a panic, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Cao Ren asked hastily.

"General Qi, my subordinates don't know where so many Xuzhou soldiers came from. People are everywhere, and they are almost here..."

There were screams coming from Cao Ren's ears. Wherever he could see, he could see Cao Jun's panicked expression, and he occasionally heard someone shouting "Whoever kills Cao Ren will be rewarded with a thousand gold".

It was difficult to distinguish at night, and Cao Jun fell into chaos again. Cao Ren didn't know how many Xuzhou soldiers had come, but felt that these noisy voices were getting closer and closer to his position.

Cao Ren made a decisive decision and immediately ordered: "Gather all the soldiers and horses that can be assembled, and retreat to the northwest. We must break through the encirclement!"

"Here!"

Once the order was issued, Cao Ren didn't bother to put on his armor, jumped on a horse led by his own soldiers, and retreated northwestward under the protection of his own soldiers.

As soon as Cao Ren left here, Zhang Yan led the cavalry and had already arrived. Seeing Cao Ren fleeing northwestward with his troops and horses, he waved his spear and shouted, "Cao Ren, leave!"

Cao Ren heard a shout from behind and looked back, but saw that the leader was Zhang Yan who shot and killed his younger brother Cao Chun.

Although he hated in his heart, but faced with such a situation, there was nothing he could do, escape was the most important thing.

Zhang Yan rode his horse in wild pursuit, took off the bow and arrow tied to the horse's collar, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot towards the fleeing Cao Jun cavalry in front.

One arrow shot dead a cavalryman of Cao's army, Zhang Yan shot five more arrows in a row, and all five cavalrymen of Cao's army fell in response.

Around Cao Ren, there were only a hundred or so followers, and it was in the midst of chaos. Cao Ren had no intention of fighting, but Zhang Yan, who was behind him, was still haunted. He immediately ordered twenty cavalry to stay behind to stop Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan's horse was fast, and there was already a certain distance from the cavalry behind him. While he was chasing, he suddenly saw twenty cavalry reining in their horses, turning their heads around one after another, charging towards him with weapons in their hands, and he released another shot He shot a cavalryman to death with an arrow, and then he put the big bow on his shoulder and re-attached the iron gun.

Single-handedly, he faced the [-] cavalrymen of Cao Jun who were showing fierce faces, without any fear, and soon fought with the [-] cavalrymen.

"Ah-ah-"

The screams kept ringing in Zhang Yan's ears. He kept shaking the spear in his hand, and calmly responded to the battle. After a while, he stabbed all the nineteen cavalrymen to death under their horses.

Cao Ren turned his head inadvertently, and was surprised to see that Zhang Yan had killed all his subordinates.However, after a while of resistance from the twenty cavalrymen, Cao Ren bought some time, and gradually drifted away from Zhang Yan.

Seeing that the distance between Cao Ren and Cao Ren had widened, Zhang Yan felt unwilling, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, shouted "Jia", and chased after him with his gun.

The black cloud treading snow horse under the seat seemed to be able to feel his anxious mood, and with a "whoosh", it galloped out, like an arrow leaving the string, rolling up a piece of sand on the ground, like a ghost, towards Cao Ren Chased after.

"General, that man is chasing him again!"

Cao Ren was startled when he heard the shout, and looked back, only to see Zhang Yan riding the black and beautiful horse under his seat, chasing him quickly, and getting closer and closer to him.

Only then did he notice that the four hooves of the horse Zhang Yan was riding were glowing with white light, and he exclaimed immediately: "Could this be the legendary dark cloud riding snow horse?"

He looked around and saw that there were many panicked Cao soldiers around, and he was about to order those Cao soldiers to approach him. Unexpectedly, Chen Ying led a group of cavalry, and suddenly came from the west, and Cao soldiers couldn't resist. , fled in all directions.

Almost at the same time, Xu Sheng also brought a group of cavalry to kill from the north, and no one dared to stop Cao soldiers wherever he went.

These two groups of cavalry suddenly blocked Cao Ren's way in an instant. He hastily reined in his horse and stopped in place. Seeing that Zhang Yan was about to chase him, Cao Ren couldn't help but annoyed: "There is an obstacle in front, and there are pursuers behind. , Is the sky going to kill me Cao Ren?"

While he was talking, suddenly there was a commotion behind Xu Sheng's cavalry. Le Jin took the lead, leading the soldiers, holding iron spears, and led a cavalry of Cao Jun to charge forward from behind.

Xu Sheng hurriedly turned his horse's head to face Le Jin, but he was rushed away by the crowd, and he had no chance to fight.

After a while, Le Jin relied on his bravery to fight his way out. When he saw Cao Ren, he immediately shouted: "General, please follow me!"

Cao Ren was overjoyed and immediately rode his horse towards Xu Sheng. When he met Le Jin, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Le Jin shot straight away, passed Cao Ren, and shouted loudly to his subordinates, "Protect the general and go first!"

Holding a long sword, Cao Ren, under the protection of Le Jin's cavalry, beheaded more than ten Xuzhou cavalry, broke through a bloody road, and quickly retreated northward.

Le Jin led more than a hundred cavalrymen to take charge of the attack, and with his long spear, stabbed many Xuzhou cavalrymen to death one after another, fighting and retreating.

Seeing this, Xu Sheng rode his horse and galloped wildly, and soon came to Le Jin's side. With a knife in his hand, he swung at Le Jin, and instantly wrestled with Le Jin.

And Chen Ying also hurriedly led troops to support, outflanked from the outside, and surrounded Le Jin instead.

Le Jin and Xu Sheng fought for four or five rounds, and the outcome was not decided. The two fought back and forth, fighting more and more courageously, trying to kill each other.

Zhang Yan also arrived at this time, saw that Xu Sheng and Le Jin were fighting, and Cao Ren had fled without a trace. Immediately, he jumped over the ruins by the roadside, bypassed the crowded fighting place in front, and shouted at Chen Ying: "Zhonghu, leave this place to Xu Sheng, you bring someone to follow me, don't leave Cao Ren!"

"Here!"

As soon as the words were finished, Zhang Yan suddenly saw Cao Ren who had fled, and returned along the same route.

However, at this time, his expression was completely different from the expression he had when he fled in a hurry just now. His face was stern, his eyes were full of fierce light, his face was ashen, holding a long sword, and even rushed to the front , with a sword in his hand, he beheaded a cavalry who came to block him, simply and neatly, not dragging his feet.

Seeing that Cao Ren came back again, Zhang Yan showed a gleam of joy on his face, but after a while, the smile on his face was completely stiff, and he noticed that behind Cao Ren were all the soldiers of the Cao army who were filled with righteous indignation. It was fierce, and when it came out of the darkness, it looked like a ghost.

"Wen Qian, I'm here to save you!" Cao Ren yelled at Le Jin who was surrounded, but he kept waving the long sword in his hand, beheading Xuzhou soldiers who came to attack one after another.

Le Jin was in the midst of a battle with Xu Sheng when he suddenly heard Cao Ren's cry and turned his head to look, but was surprised when he saw Cao Ren came back with soldiers and horses, and hurriedly shouted: "Why did the general go and come back again?" ?”

"You risked your life to save me, how could I not come to save you?" Cao Ren quickly rushed in, relying on his own bravery, he tore open a crack in the encirclement of Xuzhou soldiers.

Zhang Yan saw that Cao Ren was very courageous at this time, and his soldiers would fight to the death. The Xuzhou soldiers were unable to resist for a while, and were killed by Cao Ren.

Seeing this, Le Jin was overjoyed, shot Xu Shengxuan, forced Xu Sheng to drive away, turned his horse's head, and retreated with Cao Ren with only a dozen cavalrymen around him, and fled north along the original road go.

"Chasing! Chase me!" Seeing that Cao Ren and Le Jin had fled, Zhang Yan hurriedly shouted.

Chen Ying led people to gallop from the side, and chased along the escape path of Cao Ren and Le Jin, but just after chasing less than ten meters away, a burst of arrows suddenly shot over from the darkness.

The cavalry were unprepared, and many fell off their horses, but Chen Ying was the only one who was skilled in swordsmanship. He swung his long sword and danced a sword net in front of him, blocking all the arrows.

At this time, Zhang Yan rode a dark cloud riding a snow horse from behind, and like a flash of lightning, he galloped in front of Cao Jun's archers who were ambushing on the roadside in an instant. Startled, they fled in all directions.

At the same time, Chen Ying and Xu Sheng led soldiers and horses to attack, and Cao Jun's archers were all killed with iron hooves everywhere.

"My lord, let Cao Ren and Le Jin escape, what should we do?" Chen Ying asked.

Zhang Yandao: "We have surrounded Cao's army, they can't escape, let me chase them!"

"Here!"

So, the three joined forces, with Zhang Yan in front, followed by Chen Ying and Xu Sheng, and scattered around with more than a thousand cavalry, continuing to search for Cao Ren and Le Jin in the city. Soldiers, all will be shot to death.
