Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 85 A Hundred Cavalry
Gloomy dark clouds rolled in, and after the electric snake flashed by, thunder roared.

Yan Shou stood expressionlessly in front of the gate of the mountain village, overlooking the enemy soldiers all over the mountains and plains, and the banner troops surrounded Sanjiao Mountain in an endless stream.He tightly held the saber at his waist with his thick and big hands, watching his soldiers rushing down the mountain, but finally drowned in the tide of the enemy army, the screams came to his ears from the foot of the mountain, he anxiously He took off the helmet, revealing a tired and mournful face, with a few horizontal wrinkles on the brown skin around his neck, clearly showing blue veins.

"General, there are too many enemies, what should we do?" Captain Zhang Chong was sweating and looked anxiously at Yan Shou.

"General, why don't we temporarily defend the troops and retreat to the top of the mountain, waiting for General Chen's response?" Another general, Chen Lang, suggested.

Yan Shou's face showed anger, he pulled out his big knife and cut off Chen Lang's head, angrily shouted: "Whoever dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

The army was terrified, and the school lieutenant Zhang Chong had no choice but to continue to order and urge the soldiers to continue to attack the enemy troops down the mountain.There was a lot of shouting and killing at the foot of the mountain, drums were beating and arrows were raining down, but the enemy army at the foot of the mountain remained motionless. In the end, the soldiers pushed against each other, and no one dared to charge forward, and turned back to the mountain one after another.

Yan Shou beheaded several soldiers, but the soldiers were all frightened and did not dare to go down the mountain.Yan Shou let out a long sigh, and had no choice but to let the whole army retreat to the mountain and guard the gate of the village.

The shouts of killing outside were deafening, and the soldiers were panicked.

All the generals and officers in the village fought hard and were very embarrassed.Everyone's last gaze was on Yan Shou who was sitting in the tent!

Yan Shou's paleness drooped a few strands, his face was burnt into black sandalwood by years of fighting, and there were two deep lines between his brows as if pierced with a wood carving knife, but the sideburns around his mouth kept trembling.

"General, the enemy army at the foot of the mountain stopped attacking when they saw us retreating to the mountain. For some reason!" a general asked, clasping his hands.

Yan Shou's eyebrows that were as high as a snow peak were also furrowed tightly at this moment, and he said in a thick voice: "They are planning to trap us on the top of the mountain. There is no water on the mountain, and the army will not be able to eat!"

"The soldiers are hesitant. I'm afraid we won't see tomorrow. If we don't fight, there will be chaos..." Another general said with a worried face.

Yan Shou's face showed tiredness, obviously the crisis situation had exhausted the veteran.

He let out a long sigh and said: "Before setting up the village, Chen Wei advised me to garrison troops in Chuan Dao, but the old man refused to listen, and [-] soldiers were in deep trouble because of my arrogance. Now they are guarding the lonely mountain alone, and it is difficult to break through. The old man owes everyone , there is a loss to the Grand Master..."

All the soldiers in the hall also bowed their heads in silence, with a look of sadness between their brows.

"I'm ashamed of all the soldiers, I have no face to see the Grand Master..." Seeing that the generals have no fighting spirit, Yan Shou felt even more sorrowful in his heart, he drew his sword out of guilt, and wanted to commit suicide!
All the soldiers hurriedly stopped him, but Yan Shou had already given up his mind and insisted on apologizing with death!
Just when there was chaos in front of the hall, suddenly a soldier rushed into the hall and knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Report, the enemy sent three thousand cavalry to cut off the water source in Nanshan. Our army has no water to use. The soldiers are hungry and thirsty. Please let us know." The general ordered!"

Yan Shou staggered, with a sad expression on his face, pushed away all the soldiers, and committed suicide again!

And at this moment, there is another urgent report!

"Report! General Chen's department has broken through!"

When the generals heard the news, they were both surprised and happy. They all looked at Yan Shou and said happily: "General, Chen Wei will definitely lead the army to support us!"

Yan Shou's heart was filled with vitality, and he hurriedly asked, "Will Chen Wei lead the army to support?"

But the soldier shook his head and said: "General Chen has led his army to retreat westward!"

"It's unreasonable that Chen Wei only cared about himself and ran away?" A general shouted angrily.

The only light in Yan Shou's cloudy eyes also disappeared, and he staggered and sat on the wooden chair, and said with a sad smile: "I made my own decisions, and I didn't listen to his words, which led to this end. He only has [-] troops, and he is poor and alone , He didn't save me, of course!"

Originally, when they heard that Chen Wei had broken through, the soldiers who had a glimmer of hope in their hearts had nothing to say, and an atmosphere of sadness and despair spread over everyone.

"General, since Chen Wei has abandoned us, we can't just sit and wait for death. If the morale of the generals is still alive, why not give it a go, maybe there is a glimmer of life!"

"Yes, General, we would rather die in battle than sit and wait for death!"

"General, the last general wants to fight to the death!"

……

All the soldiers knelt down in front of Yan Shou.

Yan Shou's face showed sadness. At this moment, there are only two options before him: surrender or the whole army fight to the death.He watched the generals call for battle, and finally made up his mind, saying: "In this case, order the whole army to gather and break out from Dongpo!"

Just as the generals were leading their orders to leave, suddenly there was a shout of killing at the foot of the mountain.Yan Shou led all the generals out of the gate of the village, only to see that the enemy troops at the foot of the mountain suddenly lost their positions.

At this moment, a soldier covered in blood rushed up the mountain, stumbled and knelt up in front of Yan Shou and said, "General...jun...General Chen, he brought a team of troops and killed him up the mountain!"

All the soldiers were surprised and delighted, "Didn't he retreat?"

When Yan Shou heard this, he hurriedly grabbed the soldier and asked, "Are you reading that right?"

"This subordinate is definitely not mistaken, it is indeed General Chen!"

"How many people did he take with him?"

"Less than a hundred people!"

Yan Shou's face changed slightly, and he hurried to the side of the mountain to look down, only to see under the light of the fire, the iron cavalry with less than a hundred people had rushed into the enemy's formation!

……

At the foot of the mountain, surrounded by a hundred cavalry, Chen Wei entered the enemy's formation.Although the number of iron cavalry was small, they penetrated into the enemy's infantry like sharp swords.It's just that there are countless enemies in front of him, Chen Wei's face changed slightly, but the gentian silver gun in his hand didn't slow down at all, and rushed into the enemy army like an ant colony without hesitation, wherever the gun head went, blood splattered.

The densely packed enemy soldiers were rushed by the infantry at first, but there were only a hundred cavalry, and soon the opponent slowed down and immediately besieged them with long spears and short knives.

Suddenly a black light flashed, and a life-threatening arrow shot towards Chen Wei's direction. Under the darkness of the night, the sharp arrow shot in front of Chen Wei. Only then did he react, and he bent down instinctively. The arrow shot past Chen Wei's head.Although Chen Wei dodged it, the sharp arrow pierced through the throats of the cavalry around Chen Wei fiercely, and blood flew everywhere!

The cavalryman who followed Chen Wei into the formation fell directly on his horse, with a long blood-stained arrow sticking out of his neck!

The shouts of killing kept ringing out, and the iron cavalry covering Chen Wei's advance kept falling down. Some were directly pierced by the halberd, and the mount continued to run forward, but people were stuck on the ground; Cutting off the horse's feet, the whole person fell off the horse, the neck was broken directly, and the head was twisted strangely; those who survived the fall were surrounded by enemy soldiers before they got up, and chopped down with knives, blood and flesh spattered. There was no chance to fight back, so he was chopped into a pulp!
Also because of the sacrifices of these cavalrymen, Chen Wei finally entered the center of the enemy formation, but the consequence of going deep into the enemy formation was that he fell into a dangerous situation where there were enemies in all directions!

In order to reduce the weight of the iron cavalry, Chen Wei wore light armor tightly, his eyes seemed to be stained red by the blood around him, he didn't stop at all, and galloped on the horse without thinking about his own safety!
As it gradually deepened, the speed of the iron cavalry finally slowed down, and the enemy infantry suddenly swarmed over like ants, separating and besieging the cavalry with less than sixty remaining!
