Chapter 706: Blood Returns

The Xiaocai military camp under the north mountain was unharmed, but at this time it had become an empty camp, and when Cao Yan passed by the barracks, he couldn't help but take a look at it, and his expression was quite melancholy.

Cao Yan spent most of his time in this barracks during his nine years as a general of Xiaocai, and every brick and tile, grass and tree here left a deep memory for Cao Yan.

But today, he will not stop here again, but become a hurried passerby, which can't help but make him extremely sentimental, this farewell, the return date is far away, maybe he will never have the opportunity to return here again in this life.

Due to the large number of cars, the speed of the team was not too fast, and after entering the northern mountains, the speed of travel was even slower, and Cao Yan dragged at the end, although he was worried, but he was helpless.

With such a marching speed, I am afraid that before they reach Xiaopingjin, the pursuers of the Sima family will catch up, and Cao Yan ordered the team of His Royal Highness to be ready for battle on the way to the march and to deal with the pursuers at any time.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered Beibi Mountain, he saw that the direction of Luoyang was dusty, and the speed of movement was extremely fast, and Cao Yan, who was very familiar with the cavalry, could tell at a glance that it was the dust and smoke stirred up by the cavalry war horse when it galloped quickly.

Cao Yan's face suddenly became solemn, and as expected, Sima Yi sent a cavalry unit to pursue the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and in terms of numbers, it would definitely not be less than the people in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

"Prepare for battle!" Cao Yan shouted loudly, and the two thousand cavalry behind the palace immediately turned their horses' heads, changed their formation, and adjusted from marching columns to battle formations.

In terms of terrain, it was slightly advantageous to the Xiao cavalry battalion, and at this moment they had climbed the halfway slope of the Beibi Mountain, and if they attacked from here, they would be condescending and overwhelming.

This battle was inevitable for Cao Yan, and he had to block the pursuers of Sima's house to buy time for the front team to reach Xiaopingjin.

When Cao Yan was young, he followed the tiger and leopard to ride in the south and the north, experienced countless battles, and also made great achievements, although his title was due to his father Cao Chun, but the position of the leading general was fought by him with a knife and a gun, but later he became a cavalry general, and more time was spent in the Beijing division training team, and there was no chance to come to the battlefield again.

The battle he is facing now will be the first time Cao Yan has gone into battle to kill the enemy in more than 20 years, he re-fastened the strap of his helmet and took off the bright silver gun that had followed him for many years, Cao Yan felt that the blood in his chest became boiling, and the long-lost feeling of blood returned.

"Array!" Cao Yan held high the bright silver spear and calmly gave the order to line up.

It is precisely because Cao Yan accepted the secret edict of the first emperor that he has never slackened in the past nine years, and the rigor of governing the army is almost to the point of being harsh, although in the past nine years, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion has only participated in one war, that is, the last Battle of Huainan, but Cao Yan is a strict requirement, so that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is always in a state of combat readiness, and can be put into battle at any time.

The high-intensity training made the soldiers of the cavalry battalion miserable, but it also cultivated their good fighting qualities, and the cavalry battalion could devote themselves to the battle at any time and anywhere.

The Sima family's pursuers were all cavalry, and the speed was naturally extremely fast, and it looked relatively far away, but in an instant, they had already come to the foot of the mountain.

Cao Yan knew very well that the opponent's army had a numerical advantage, so the first battle was extremely important, and the cavalry battalion must launch an attack with lightning speed to crush the enemy's morale and morale in the first battle, so as to delay and hinder the enemy's attack and win valuable time for the retreat of the large army.

After the Sima family's army reached the foot of the mountain, they did not stop, but continued to advance halfway up the hill in one go, their pursuit seemed to be a little impatient, and the front and rear of the team seemed a little disjointed.

Cao Yan saw in his eyes that the pursuers of the Sima family were so scrambling, regardless of the formation, obviously to get a huge reward, and only under the heavy reward would the team of the Armed Guards appear in such a desperate situation, you must know that as a forbidden army, the Armed Guards have always been noble and have a sense of superiority.

At this moment, in order to snatch the huge reward offered by the Sima family, the Wu Weijun naturally broke his head and squeezed to the front, for fear of falling behind and being robbed of the first credit by others.

This undoubtedly gave the cavalry battalion a chance to counterattack, and when the armed guards were scattered, they launched an attack, which was bound to disrupt the formation of the armed guards and weaken their morale.

Cao Yan raised his bright silver spear and ordered in a loud voice: "Attack!" Then Cao Yan took the lead and rushed straight down the mountain.

The cavalry followed, like a tiger out of the forest, roaring towards the bottom of the mountain.

This distance does not seem to be short, but for the cavalry on both sides, it is relatively short, the two sides are walking opposite each other, and the collision is only a matter of moment.

Cao Yan, who is over half a hundred years old, seems to be rejuvenated at this moment, and seems to have returned to the era of galloping and charging into battle, he rushed to the front, and in an instant, he rushed into the enemy formation.

Cao Yan bowed his waist slightly, changed the reins in his left hand, held a spear in his right hand, and the tip of the spear drooped slightly, and when he rushed into the enemy formation, Cao Yan suddenly exerted his strength, and the bright silver spear was like a dragon out of the water, rushing from bottom to top, with a strong inertial impact, piercing the chest of a cavalryman of the armed guards who rushed to the front at a lightning speed.

The spear stabbed too fast, and the cavalryman of the Armed Guards was actually ready for battle, but Cao Yan's speed had already exceeded his reaction speed, and when the bright silver spear pierced his chest, the spear in his hand had not yet had time to be raised.

With such a powerful stab, the tip of the spear directly pierced through the back of the cavalry of the Armed Guards, and the war horse still rushed forward, but the body of the cavalry of the Armed Guards had already left the mount and hung high on the tip of the spear.

Cao Yan put his arms together, and actually picked this cavalryman of the Armed Guards on the tip of the spear, and everyone was stunned, this Cao Yan is too violent.

Under the leadership of Cao Yan, the Xiao cavalry rushed straight to Sima Jun, and cut the opponent off the horse with the momentum of Mount Tai.

It was with their skillful riding skills and fearless courage that the Xiao cavalry gave Sima Jun a head-on blow, which suddenly disrupted the rhythm of Sima Jun's forward pursuit.

After the vanguard troops were heavily damaged, the formation of the Sima army was greatly impacted, and the rest could not resist the offensive of the cavalry battalion, and they were defeated one after another.
