Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 441
Thirty miles to the north of Xinye, Yan Xing, the mighty general of Xigan, led [-] cavalry to the south at full speed.

In the middle of the line, a scout cavalry in front rushed over like a whirlwind, and the scout cavalry on horseback howled loudly, "General, the Chu army abandoned Xinye and fled to Xiangyang!" went."

"what?"

Yan Xing lifted the reins of the horse and said with concentration: "Run away?"

The scout cavalry rushed forward, gasped for breath at the mouth of the canyon and replied, "Exactly!"

"Hey, that guy Zhang Fei runs really fast!"

Yan Xing clenched his fists and clapped his palms fiercely, and then ordered: "Hurry up and report the news to the lord!"

"As ordered!"

There had been a group of horsemen from the messenger soldiers running back.

"Go, chase, and hold Chu Jun!"

With a wave of Yan Xing's hand, the eight thousand cavalry immediately accelerated to move southward, billowing smoke and dust on the official road.

More than forty miles behind, Luo Zheng personally supervised and led an army of more than [-] cavalry and then went south.

When he received the news that Zhang Fei had abandoned Xinye and went south, he asked, "Where is Yan Xing's vanguard army now?"

The summoner replied: "General Yan Xing has led [-] vanguards to chase down!"

Jia Xu next to him said: "My lord, it was expected that Liu Bei would abandon Xinye to preserve his strength. The [-] Chu troops in Xinye are all infantry, so they will not be able to go far, but order Qingqi to go south quickly to pursue them."

Luo Zhenglue thought about it, and said decisively: "Quickly order all the cavalry to go south first, and be sure to entangle the Chu army!"

"As ordered!"

Jia Xu agreed and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Ten miles to the west of Yushui, Zhang Fei led an army of [-] soldiers and was rushing all the way.

Xigan's 20 troops came to attack. Although Zhang Fei was warlike, he wanted to kill Luo Zheng to avenge his second brother Guan Yu, but he knew what was going on. There are more than two hundred thousand soldiers.

Not to mention the 20 army, the [-] elite cavalry and the [-] wolf cavalry under Luo Zheng's command alone are a big trouble.

The most elite cavalry in the world is in Xigan. Although the cavalry under Luo Zheng's command has always remained at [-] and has not been expanded over the years, it is this cavalry that has swept across the desert and the Western Regions. For a while, the Xianbei people were still from the Western Regions and the Da Yuezhi who established the Guishuang Empire, all prostrated under the iron hooves of this cavalry.

If the Chu army hid in the strong city, no matter how tough the Xigan cavalry was, it would be impossible for them to charge up to the top of the city.

But if you go to the wild, let alone [-] Chu troops, even twice as many troops will not be able to stop [-] Sigan cavalry.

Although Zhang Fei was aggrieved, he didn't dare to play games. After receiving his brother's order, he could only run away with the army.

Otherwise, it would be a lot of fun if he was caught up by the army.

"Report, General, it's not good!"

Just as he was on his way, a scout from behind chased him up like a scout.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Fei was furious and said, "What happened, tell me slowly!"

The scout cavalry rushed forward, reined in their horses in a hurry, gasped twice, and then hurriedly said: "General, something is wrong, the Xigan cavalry has caught up, and they are already twenty miles away, and there will be half an hour at most. arrive."

"what?"

Zhang Fei gasped, "The army is catching up, how many soldiers and horses are there?"

The scout cavalry said anxiously: "About ten thousand cavalry!"

"Damn, it came so fast!"

Zhang Fei took a breath and couldn't help but swear.

A deputy general next to him said anxiously: "General, the cavalry of the dry army all ride two horses, and they come and go like the wind. They can cover two hundred miles in a day if they travel lightly. For more than two hundred miles, our army is all infantry, and we can't get rid of it no matter what, but we can leave some soldiers and horses behind to stop the enemy and buy time for the army!"

Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "Order the army to throw away the useless baggage, and take only two days of military rations and go south quickly and lightly, and someone will break the queen!"

"As ordered!"

All the generals agreed with a loud bang, and galloped away on their horses.

Zhang Fei ordered two thousand soldiers and horses, and watched the army go away, and the tiger's eyes couldn't help shooting a frightening light.

He ordered [-] infantry to move to a high ground to form an array, and spread out the baggage vehicles discarded by the army on the official road. Zhang Fei rode his horse back and forth in front of the formation. Eye.

Soon, there was a billow of yellow dust rising from behind, and there was a thunderous hoofbeat from far to near.

After about half a stick of incense, eight thousand cavalry chased to the front, seeing that the official road was blocked, Yan Xing gave an order, and the eight thousand cavalry quickly spread out to the two wings, but the official road was narrow, and there were many ravines in the fields on both sides, which was not conducive to cavalry charge.

A lieutenant general hurriedly said: "General, our army is going from bottom to top, and the Chu army is blocking us with heavy luggage, so we may not be able to go up. We can send out a thousand cavalry from the fields on both sides to go around and outflank the Chu army. Attack from the front again!"

Yan Xing thought for a while, and immediately said decisively: "Good, just follow this time!"

Immediately, two cavalry teams were divided, each with a thousand cavalry, to attack from both wings.

Two thousand cavalry got off their horses and led their horses forward in the ravine-ridden wilderness. They bypassed the front of the official road and covered the past from the short hills on both sides, preparing to go around and attack the Chu army blocking the road.

"Damn!"

Zhang Fei looked at this posture, how could he not know what the army was up to.

He deliberately looked for an opportunity to kill the leader of the army, but he really didn't dare to do anything wrong.

Taking the head of a general from among the ten thousand troops depends on the specific situation. If a general is so easy to kill, I don’t know how many times he has been beheaded by others. It is enough for Zhang Fei to fall into the middle of eight thousand cavalry alone. Died ten times.

If there were five hundred cavalry, Zhang Fei might take the risk.

However, all the soldiers and horses under his command are infantry, and he took the initiative to charge the cavalry, which is no different from courting death.

As for riding alone to charge the Xigan cavalry, unless Zhang Fei's brain is broken, he would not do such a stupid thing.

"Set fire, let's go!"

Zhang Fei roared, waved his hand, and galloped away.

Soon, a piece of fire was thrown on the baggage vehicles blocked in the middle of the road, and the fire burst into flames, and the two thousand infantry did not stop for a moment, and ran wildly after Zhang Feima, non-stop along the road set fire.

"Hey, damn Zhang Fei!"

Yan Xingqi cursed and shouted: "Quick, clean up the official way!"

The cavalry in the field on both sides couldn't get through, and they had to dismount infantry to go around. On the official road, the [-] army's baggage vehicles were lined up for several miles, and there seemed to be a forest at the end. It would take at least an hour to go around.

If Zhang Fei set that forest on fire again, it would probably take a lot of time.

Some soldiers got off their horses a long time ago and rushed up to clear the baggage vehicles blocking the official road.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei had been prepared for a long time. He poured kerosene on the cart, and the fire burned quickly. Not to mention putting out the fire, he couldn't even get close. The soldiers could only stare blankly, and Yan Xingze couldn't help it Swear.
