The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 59 059

Yu Jin successfully rescued Cao Ren and Le Jin from the heavy siege. Cao Ren and Le Jin both breathed a sigh of relief, and were also grateful to Jin.

"Captain Yu, why are you here?" Cao Ren asked.

Yu Jin said: "My lord ordered me to come forward and tell the general to wait for the lord's order in Gaoping County. You must not act without authorization. I hurried, but I didn't expect to be one step too late. I heard that the general was besieged in Guangzhou. Qixian City, this is the time to lead the troops to rescue."

"Alas!" Cao Ren sighed heavily, "It's all my fault that I didn't see the situation clearly and acted rashly, which resulted in such a disastrous defeat. I am ashamed of my lord, and of those soldiers who died in battle. I...I..."

As he was talking, Cao Ren felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and suddenly drew out his long sword, intending to swing it to kill himself.

Seeing this, Yu Jin blocked Cao Ren's long sword with the iron spear in his hand, and said sharply, "The general is the lord's humerus, and the lord is also extremely dependent on the general, so he entrusted the [-] army to the general. Never would have thought that the general would make such a move." The entire army was almost wiped out. The general is guilty, even if he is going to die, he should plead guilty in front of the lord, and let the lord punish him. If you committed suicide at this time, who will bear the responsibility?"

"I will bear it! The general chose to send troops because he was bewitched by me. Everything is my fault, and I should bear the responsibility for this crime!" Le Jin said loudly.

Yu Jin sneered, and said, "He is the general, and you are just a subordinate. If there is no order from the general, how would you mobilize [-] troops? Right and wrong, it's not too late for you to argue in front of the lord."

Cao Ren and Le Jin's faces were gloomy for a while, and their hearts were even more uncomfortable.

With an army of [-], there are only a hundred remnants left at this moment. How can they explain to Cao Cao?

"My lord, there are pursuers behind!" Yu Jin's subordinates said suddenly.

Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yu Jin looked back almost at the same time, but saw Zhang Yan chasing from behind with more than 800 cavalry.

Le Jin said: "Yu Duwei, you protect the general and go first, I will stay and block Zhang Yan for a while!"

Yu Jin sneered and said: "You have been wounded in many places, and the soldiers you lead are no more than a hundred soldiers, and all of them are wounded. How long can you hold back? You should protect the general and go first, and I will stay." !"

Le Jin heard the sarcasm in Yu Jin's words, so he said angrily: "Captain Yu, you look down on people too much, don't you? I am happy to..."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go! We don't need you defeated soldiers here!" Yu Jin said angrily with a gloomy face.

Le Jin wanted to say something, but was grabbed by Cao Ren. He shook his head at Le Jin and said, "We are indeed defeated soldiers. Let's leave it to Captain Yu. Let's go back to Gaoping County first."

Although Le Jin was upset, he still went with Cao Ren and led the remaining hundred cavalry away.

Yu Jin reined in his horse, and with five hundred cavalry behind him, he stayed in place, ready for battle.

Zhang Yan came after him with his troops, but Yu Jin stopped suddenly with his cavalry, blocking his way.Seeing that Yu Jin had few soldiers, he waved the long sword in his hand, led the cavalry behind him, and rushed towards Yu Jin without any intention of slowing down.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jin and others suddenly turned their horses and ran away.

Zhang Yan rushed to catch up, and he was about to catch up, but he didn't expect that hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides.

Arrows rained down like rain, Zhang Yan and others were defenseless, more than a hundred of his cavalry were shot to death, if Zhang Yan hadn't been very skilled in martial arts, he might have been shot to death by the arrows.

At this time, Yu Jin and others suddenly reined in the horses and turned their heads around, while Cao soldiers on both sides of the road kept pouring out, all shouting loudly.

For a while, arrows rained down, and Cao soldiers poured out continuously, with about 3000 to [-] people.

Zhang Yan saw that Yu Jin was confident, and it seemed that Yu Jin had already set up an ambush here. Although he was unwilling to let Cao Ren and Le Jin escape, facing the sudden rush of Cao soldiers at this moment, he had no choice but to retreat quickly.

Seeing Zhang Yan retreating, Yu Jin didn't chase after him. Following his order, he immediately turned his horse's head and started to retreat with all his subordinates.

Zhang Yan retreated for a few miles, but seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, he hastily reined in his horse. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that something was wrong, so he led the cavalry back to the place where they had ambush just now.

Cao Bing had already disappeared, but in the woods and ravines on both sides, many scarecrows wearing Cao Jun's uniforms were found.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan sneered and said, "Just now, in my haste, I didn't see the situation clearly, and mistakenly thought that these scarecrows were Cao soldiers. This Yu Jin is somewhat talented as a general."

He stopped ordering Cao Bing to chase after him, and began to return to Guangqi County. The Cao Bing who broke through the siege had already been killed.In this battle, Cao Jun killed more than 6000 people, and half of them surrendered. Only Cao Ren, Le Jin and other hundreds of cavalry escaped from the sky, which can be described as a big victory.

After Zhang Yan came back, he assembled the army. Seeing that there were more than 1 prisoners, he called Lu Dai to his side and said to Lu Dai: "You, Deng Yi and Wang Bo each bring our troops and horses to clean the battlefield here. Then take these captives back to Pengcheng, lock them in cells, and deal with them after I come back."

"Here!"

Zhang Yan said to Xu Sheng and Chen Ying again: "Take your troops and follow me. Cao Cao's [-] troops hoarded in Gaoping County are almost wiped out, and the rest of the army is in the Kaiyang area. Yanzhou is empty. We can't miss it. For this good opportunity, we must use the fastest speed to attack Yanzhou, and we must not give Cao Jun any chance to breathe."

Chen Ying hurriedly said: "But my lord, our soldiers have fought all day and night, if they don't rest for a while, I'm afraid..."

"When we get to Gaoping County, we'll serve you with good wine and good meat, and then we won't be too late to rest!" Zhang Yan said.

So, after Zhang Yan gave an order, he took Xu Sheng, Chen Ying, all the cavalry and more than 8000 soldiers, and rushed towards Gaoping County at the fastest speed.

……

Cao Ren and Le Jin led the remnant army all the way back to Gaoping County. They arrived in the middle of the night. The group was exhausted. When they reached the county seat, Cao Ren sent someone to call the door.

After a long time, the gate of the city was opened wide, and a group of Cao soldiers went out to meet them.

Cao Ren rode his horse first, and when he reached the gate of the city, he shouted: "Why are you so slow? If there are pursuers behind me, you are so slow, wouldn't I be killed by the pursuers?"

He was extremely upset, and Le Jin comforted him, and the two walked towards the city one after the other.

Suddenly, the soldiers standing on both sides of the gate rushed up, dragged Cao Ren and Le Jin off their horses, and beheaded the rest of the cavalry. Cao Jun's cavalry was completely killed.

In just a moment, Cao Ren and Le Jin became captives, tied up and gagged with hard objects.

The two were brought before a man in iron armor and an iron helmet, and the soldiers escorting them shouted loudly, "Kneel down!"

Cao Ren and Le Jin refused to kneel down, but were pushed down to the ground by the soldiers, and only the combat boots on the man's feet could be seen.

"Hahaha... General Cao, do you know what it means to run away from a monk but not from a temple?"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Ren and Le Jin were taken aback. Why is this voice so familiar?

They raised their heads and squinted at the person in front of them. It turned out to be Zhang Yan.

There was panic on Cao Ren's face, and he wanted to say something.

Zhang Yan asked someone to remove the thing stuffed in Cao Ren's mouth. Cao Ren opened his mouth and asked, "You...how did you come here before me? How is this possible?"

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. The dark cloud riding a snow horse under my seat can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights. How far is it from Guangqi County to Gaoping County?" Zhang Yan laughed.

Cao Ren said: "Even if you have a thousand-mile horse, how can your subordinates move so quickly?"

"Hehe, it's okay to tell you. When you led your troops out of the city, I quietly sent an army to detour to Gaoping County, and ambushed around here. When your army is far away, I will start attacking the county."

After Cao Ren heard this, he burst out laughing, and said to Zhang Yan: "I, Cao Ren, am convinced that I lost today. Now that I have been captured by you, I have no thought of living any longer. If I want to kill or cut, I will listen to you!"

"Courage is commendable, but I don't want to kill you yet, I still want to use you to capture the entire Yanzhou for me..."

"You are dreaming, I will never surrender to you!" Cao Ren shouted.

"You don't have to be so excited, I didn't say I would take you down. I'll send you to see the King of Hades after I've used you up." After speaking, Zhang Yan's face suddenly became gloomy, and he ordered, "Take it down, Take good care of it!"

"Here!"

The soldiers gagged Cao Ren's mouth again and held Cao Ren down.

Zhang Yan walked up to Le Jin, sneered, and then slowly said: "As for you... I appreciate your bravery, if you are willing to surrender, I will definitely not treat you badly..."

"Hmph!" Le Jin was gagged, unable to speak, just snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.

Zhang Yan asked someone to remove what Le Jin had in his mouth, and asked, "What? Aren't you going to surrender?"

"I was born Cao Gong's man, and died Cao Gong's ghost. How could I surrender to you? If you kill me, kill me. Don't talk too much, it's really annoying." Le Jin said loudly.

Zhang Yan sighed: "You are courageous, brave and good at fighting. If you are willing to surrender to me, you will definitely be reused. But if you kill you, it would be a pity. It is really embarrassing..."

There was a bit of pity in his words, but after a while, Zhang Yan changed the subject and said: "However, if you don't surrender, it will be a disaster if I keep you. It's even more difficult to catch you. Besides, you killed many of my Xuzhou soldiers, both public and private, and I shouldn't let you live in this world anymore."

"Thank you, General!" Le Jin said.

Zhang Yan respected Le Jin's courage and asked the soldiers to take him aside to kill him, but left him with a whole body, and then ordered someone to bury him outside the city.

At this moment, Mi Fang walked to Zhang Yan's side, clasped her fists and said, "My lord, Yu Jin is here, less than ten miles away from here."

"Well done. This man is quite talented. Don't hurt his life. Let the soldiers prepare quickly. I'll give him a chance!" Zhang Yan said happily.

"Here!" Mi Fang clasped her fists and said.
