Chapter 120: Hunt and Escape

As soon as the sky was bright, Sun Jian set off with five thousand cavalry and pursued the three or five thousand fish that had slipped through the net. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, most of the allied forces had just begun to return to the camp to prepare for the morning meal, and Sun Jian and the four generals under his command took the cavalry first, for fear that Gongsun Zhan would rob him of his business again.

It is said that when he was chasing the Xiliang rout led by Hua Xiong, Gongsun Zhan was relying on horses and fast cavalry, and he snatched the prestige of his Sun Jian's vanguard army.

Now, three or five thousand Xiliang war horses are waiting for him Sun Jian to pick them somewhere in Guanzhong.

If it drags on for a long time, not only will someone come to snatch his Sun Ce's war horse, but those fish that slipped through the net will quickly whip up their horses and flee back to Luoyang City.

As for the infantry army of 25,000 people, it was naturally led by Sun Ce, and it was enough to keep up with it slowly.

Sun Ce's injury has not healed, and he will have to recuperate for a month to recover to his peak condition.

Otherwise, with Sun Ce's current injury, it will definitely affect the play of his strength, and if he is not careful, he may stumble and be picked up by someone in the Xiliang army.

Sun Jian knew that among the fish that slipped through the net, there was a good general, even if Cheng Pu was four, he was not necessarily his opponent.

However, Sun Jian thought that with Cheng Pu and other four top-notch generals, plus 5,000 cavalry, the three or five thousand Xiliang rout soldiers who escaped from the pass would only fall into his Sun Jian's bowl.

The five thousand Jiangdong cavalry had been recuperating for so long, and the Xiliang elite cavalry had been galloping back and forth for most of the night, waiting for work, Sun Jian thought about it, and he didn't think that their Jiangdong cavalry had a reason to lose.

As for letting Sun Ce set off with the infantry army closely, Sun Jian naturally did not plan to return to the Tiger Prison.

At least, for the time being, they are not ready to return to the Tiger Prison!

Fools know how depressed Yuan Mengzhu, who lost an arm, is now depressed, always dangling in front of his eyes, and sooner or later he will have to be trained.

And he, Sun Jian, is not Yuan Shao's son, if he is trained too many times, he will turn his face if he doesn't do it well.

Therefore, Sun Jian felt that it was better to stay away from Yuan Shao's firewood that was burned at one point.

Besides, as the vanguard of the allies, their Jiangdong soldiers and horses naturally wanted to be the first to kill Luoyang City.

After exterminating the three or five thousand fish that slipped through the net, Sun Jiang was ready to go all the way to Jingshi.

Sun Jian didn't expect to be able to capture Luoyang with his 30,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses, but he could scare Dong Zhuo, right?

Imagine, when the vanguard army of the allies has arrived in Beijing, what kind of panic will be there in Luoyang City?

If Dong Zhuo could be made to panic and flee without a fight, wouldn't he Sun Jian be the first hero to save the Han Dynasty?

Although this chance is a little slim, Sun Jian feels that he can still give it a try.

After all, their vanguard army would have to march into the Jingshi region sooner or later, and Sun Jian was only one step ahead now.

……

Sun Jian's first wave of pursuit went well.

When he led 5,000 Jiangdong cavalry, following the traces of the Xiliang rout and fleeing, and chased for more than 50 miles, he caught up with the Xiliang elite cavalry, which really couldn't run.

After dawn, he entered the Tiger Prison Pass, and fought back and forth in the Tiger Prison Pass for more than an hour, no matter how elite the Xiliang Jing Cavalry was, after all, it was just a soldier trained by ordinary people, not a general.

Besides, even if the soldiers of Xiliang Jingcai can stand up, they are ready to grit their teeth and support themselves, and escape back to the reinforcement camp in one go.

However, the war horses under them are not the tireless mounts of the generals.

The war horse ran back and forth for nearly three hours, and after escaping fifty or sixty distances from the Tiger Prison, it really couldn't run.

Even, there are already hundreds of war horses, which have fallen to the ground foaming at the mouth.

If, if they don't rest and eat, so that the war horses can get a little respite, their more than 4,000 defeated soldiers only need to run more than ten miles, and they will all have to become infantry.

The cavalry without war horses is probably no better than the infantry in the Allied forces!

It's just that Zhang Xiu and his group of defeated soldiers had just cooked the food by the bonfire, and they didn't even have time to dry the soaked clothes on their bodies, so Sun Jian and the Jiangdong cavalry chased after them.

A scuffle, and that's it.

Sun Jian's Jiangdong cavalry set off on an empty stomach, and only had time to gnaw a few mouthfuls of dry food on horseback to satisfy hunger.

Moreover, the Jiangdong cavalry is really not very dripping, not to mention the short horses, and the quality of the knights is not as good as the Xiliang soldiers who came out of the border.

On the side of the Xiliang soldiers, there was a guy who was fast, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of food, but most of the Xiliang soldiers were on an empty stomach and hurriedly climbed on horseback.

Not to run away, but to turn and fight.

Although Zhang Xiu's group of Xiliang elite cavalry is a rout, after all, they are the elite who have been fighting for a long time in the border areas, and their sense of combat is still very strong.

At this time, not only were their Xiliang army exhausted, but even the war horses had only rested for more than half an hour, and they did not get enough time to rest and recover.

If you continue to escape, everyone will only be caught up and hacked to death, and you will not even have a chance to fight back.

But if they turn over and fight, their Xiliang army still has a chance.

After all, the war horse rested for half an hour, and although it would rest for less than one or twenty miles, it was still no big problem to use it to fight with the pursuers for a few rounds.

Besides, even if defeat is inevitable in the end, it is better to be able to kill an enemy than to be caught up and killed at that time, right?

……

The cavalry battles were brutal and bloody.

At the moment when the cavalry of the two sides hedged, the vast majority of the cavalry engaged in the front line were thrown away by the high-speed collision. After they landed, even if they were not trampled into meat by the war horses around them, they were only left to dangle in front of the ghost gate.

However, when they were fighting, no one would stop to treat them, and their final result was inevitably to report to Gaozu Liu Bang.

When the cavalry fights, once they fall off their horses, or if the whole horse is tripped to the ground, they will only be trampled into flesh and become the nourishment of the earth.

Only a handful of skilled cavalrymen can control their mounts, finding gaps in the hedge, and weaving them through. At the same time, they will also stab or slash the weapons in their hands into the enemy riders around them.

And most of these skilled cavalrymen are Xiliang elite cavalry.

The Jiangdong cavalry was not so much cavalry as a group of infantry troops on horseback, and there was not much training and opportunities for cavalry combat at all.

As a result, as soon as the battle was engaged, the Jiangdong cavalry suffered great losses, and the battle loss ratio almost reached five to one.

However, as time went on, the Jiangdong cavalry gradually gained the upper hand.

After all, Xiliang Jingqi was very tired from knights to war horses, and he had not yet recovered. It's okay to explode for a short time, but after a long time, even if they slash the weapon in their hands at the enemy horseman, they won't do much damage.

On the other hand, the Jiangdong cavalry, although their combat skills are very poor, they can't stand the spirit of others.

What's more, Sun Jian's thousands of generals are all mixed in these cavalry. The strength of these Jiangdong generals may not be high, but killing the tired Xiliang Jingqi is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

From time to time, these Jiangdong generals will also release various spells to kill those difficult Xiliang spirit horses.

Of course, Zhang Xiu is not without generals.

But when Zhang Xiu escaped, there were less than two hundred generals left, and most of them had run out of mana, and even if they wanted to fight back, they couldn't do anything.

However, Zhang Xiu, even if he didn't use spells, he relied on his super high strength to kill several Jiangdong generals.
