Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 442 Pursuit
Sure enough, in order to stop the pursuers, Zhang Fei also set the forest on fire.

Just as Yan Xing climbed up from a ditch leading his war horse, his face turned green when he saw the fire rising into the sky in the distance.

After detouring for dozens of miles and walking back to the official road, half a day had passed.

The [-] cavalry were exhausted and exhausted, so they could no longer pursue them.

Yan Xing had no choice but to order the army to rest on the spot for an hour. After eating some dry food, the follow-up cavalry caught up and continued the pursuit together.However, after wasting most of the day, Zhang Fei's army had already run for forty or fifty miles.

When Yan Xing led [-] cavalry to catch up with the Chu army, Zhang Fei's army was only [-] miles away from Fancheng.

After Zhang Fei decisively left [-] soldiers and horses behind, he ordered the rest of the army to throw away all the supplies and retreat into Fancheng.

"Kill, leave none!"

In front of the cavalry formation, Yan Xing swung his iron spear, reined his horse, and shouted sharply.

The [-] cavalry moved back and forth for several miles, and the hoofbeats of the horses galloping at high speed were like drums beating in the sky. Apart from the thunderous hoofbeats, there was no other sound heard between the sky and the earth. A black torrent swept towards the five thousand Chu troops who were waiting in formation one mile away, but the momentum of the charge was already shocking.

"Why so many cavalry!"

Five thousand infantry lined up at the height of the ground, and everyone was taken aback at the moment.

This is not eight thousand cavalry, I'm afraid it's no less than thirty thousand.

Zhang Fei was also taken aback, then he glanced around and said sharply, "Boys, fight hard!"

However, very few responded.The [-] infantry were all shocked by the formation of the [-] cavalry when they charged.

Getting closer, getting closer, the cavalry that was approaching began to move closer to the center.

The two sides of the official road are not flat, there are big pits everywhere, and the cavalry can't spread out to the two wings at all.

In this way, Zi Chujun was given a chance.

If the [-] cavalry can spread out to the two wings and rush up, the [-] Chu infantry will have no chance at all.

But now the [-] cavalry cannot spread out to the two wings, and can only charge on the narrow official road. They cannot give full play to the advantages of force and the impact of the cavalry itself, but the denser the infantry formation, the more they can exert their advantages. Five The thousand infantry used the few remaining supplies to form a defensive formation on the official road to defend themselves, and they were not defeated by a single blow.

Although a hole was torn open in the front line, the Chinese army blocked the Xigan cavalry rushing over and was not directly pierced through. This is a good sign, and Zhang Fei was secretly relieved.

The most feared thing for infantry against cavalry is that they will not be able to stop the first wave of charge and will be directly pierced through the army formation.

As long as the cavalry's first wave of charge can be blocked, when the cavalry's charge speed slows down, they will fall into chaos.

Although the melee is not good for the Chu army, for the cavalry, it is precisely the melee that they fear most.

"Yan Xingping, eat a certain spear!"

The army formation was not pierced all the time, Zhang Fei's spirit was lifted up, and with a loud roar, he patted his horse and went straight to Yan Xing.

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

Yan Xing leaped up to meet him with a spear, and said sharply: "Zhang Fei, next year today will be your memorial day!"

"Insanity!"

Zhang Fei yelled angrily: "You have no guts, watch grandpa take your dog's life!"

Among the chaotic army, the two men fought each other with spears and spears, and the killing was a joy. Then the cavalry who rushed over couldn't get through, so they had to urge the horse to run down the official road, slowing down the speed of the horse, and charging with one foot high and one foot low. Before the battle, he fought hand-to-hand with the Chu army's infantry.

The shrill screams and shouts of killing mixed together, and the sound shook the whole field.

Although the [-] cavalry was limited by the terrain and could not give full play to their advantages, the [-] cavalry was the most elite army in the dry army. They enjoyed the best treatment and received the most rigorous training, and their combat effectiveness was still extremely sturdy.

Although the wilderness full of pits on both sides of the official road restricted the cavalry charge, it was not impossible to pass.

Unable to make it through the official road, the cavalry behind slowed down and jogged over, fighting with the Chu army.

As more and more cavalry came to the front, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry were surrounded by groups. The defensive formation of the Chu army was continuously compressed, like peeling an apple with a knife, and it was peeled off layer by layer. Annihilation is only a matter of time.

when!
As the spears clashed, Yan Xing and Zhang Fei fought hard again.

"This guy has so much strength, Wu Yong is not inferior to General Xu Chu!"

Yan Xing's arms were a little numb, and he couldn't help being shocked that Liu Bei had such a strong general.

He was about to summon dozens of Xigan generals to kill Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei took advantage of the passing of the two horses and led hundreds of soldiers to break through. Although Zhang Fei was warlike, he was not stupid. Now the Xigan cavalry Already surrounded on all sides, if he doesn't take advantage of the chaos to break out, once he is completely trapped, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to break out.

Moreover, it has been more than half an hour to stop the cavalry of the Qian army, and the [-] army should be able to escape to Fancheng.

As for the five thousand pawns...

Zhang Fei only felt sad in his heart. The infantry was bitten by the cavalry in the field, and the possibility of escape was really slim.

However, in order to keep most of the soldiers and horses, they had to give up something.

Zhang Fei has fought for many years. Although he understands it in his heart, he is still a little depressed.

"Don't leave, let's stay alive!"

How could Yan Xing be willing to let it go, swung his iron spear, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and immediately rode in pursuit.

"General, the main force of the Chu army has gone to Fancheng!"

The lieutenant galloped up to catch up and quickly reminded.

"Ok?"

Yan Xingmeng reined in his horse, slapped his head and said: "I almost missed a major event. It is important to capture and kill Zhang Fei, but how can we reach the [-] Chu army? Send me an order to leave [-] cavalry to besiege and kill the Chu army. Quickly follow this general to pursue the Chu army!"

"Order!"

The deputy general led the general and quickly went to deliver the order.

Soon, the cavalry who were besieging and killing the Chu army quickly turned their horses, bypassed the blocking Chu army, and rushed up the official road. Under the leadership of the generals, they quickly assembled and went south to pursue the Chu army.

Zhang Fei also took the opportunity to break out of the siege, took dozens of his own soldiers, and took all the paths to escape.

The [-] infantry of the Chu army were completely defeated, and without any fighting spirit, they threw away their helmets and armor and fled across the mountains and plains. However, the Xigan cavalry had already closed the siege, and less than a thousand people could finally break out of the siege.

If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding wilderness was not very favorable for the cavalry to pursue, I am afraid that none of the 1000 people would be able to escape.

Yan Xing led most of the cavalry to rush southward. At this time, he could not care about the army formation. Thousands of cavalry drew back and forth. The army also fled to the city when Yan Xing led the way to the north gate of Fancheng. Yan Xing wanted to take advantage of the situation to grab the pass and seize the city, but was shot back by random arrows on the top of the city.

"Qisha!"

Yan Xing yelled loudly, really pissed off.

Seeing that he could not win the city, he could only grit his teeth and collect soldiers and horses, and wait for the Lord and Princess Li's army to arrive before attacking the city.
