Chapter 227: Send a coffin
"Da! Da! ”
The sound of horses' hooves was rapid, and the ground shook. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Three thousand elite horsemen hurried quickly and galloped across the official road.
In Tian Zhao's heart, he couldn't wait to attack Liu Xuan and kill Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan's army retreated due to lack of food, and he had no strength to fight again, which was a good opportunity for him to kill Liu Xuan.
Tian Zhao and Tian Sheng advanced together, and at the same time sent a sentinel to find out the news and find out the situation of Liu Xuan's retreat in front.
The distance between the two sides is still eighty miles.
Tian Zhao led his troops to chase after him, while Liu Xuan led his troops to retreat. One chase and one escape, even if Tian Zhao led his troops to advance at full speed, but at such a long distance, it would be difficult to catch up without two or three days.
The team hurried away, constantly closing the distance between the two sides.
Eighty miles!
Sixty miles!
Forty miles!
By the afternoon of the next day, the distance between the two sides had been reduced to forty miles.
At this time, Tian Zhao was excited and excited, and he was already looking forward to the scene after catching up with Liu Xuan.
As for the army in the rear, Tian Zhao had long ignored it.
With Cao Zheng presiding, there will be no turmoil.
When the team stopped to rest, Tian Sheng came to Tian Zhao's side and said respectfully, "Uncle, let's cover up Liu Xuan." The nephew knows that Guan Hai and Zhou Cang under his command are also thieves, so let these people be killed by the nephew. ”
"Yes!"
Tian Zhao didn't even think about it, so he agreed directly.
Tian Zhao's target was Liu Xuan, and he was not interested in the generals under Liu Xuan, so it didn't hurt to hand them over to Tian Sheng.
Every miller draws water to his own mill!
After all, Tian Sheng is his nephew.
After resting for half an hour, Tian Zhao ordered to continue on his way.
All the way, the sun is sinking in the west, and the sky is getting late.
In order to catch up with Liu Xuan, Tian Zhao ordered the soldiers to continue on their way. In the night, torches crackled and burned, dispelling the darkness. The group of people kept narrowing the distance with Liu Xuan. In the early hours of the morning, the cold wind was blowing, and it was already a little cold. Spring is expected to be cold, and although spring has begun, the weather after night is very cold.
A sentry ran over, came to Tian Zhao's side, and reported: "General, we are still fifteen miles away from Liu Xuan's army. Liu Xuan's team had stopped and camped to rest, and did not continue to retreat. ”
"Good!"
When Tian Zhao heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted.
"Rest in place!"
Tian Zhao also gave the order not to move forward.
Tian Sheng asked, "Uncle, we are already less than fifteen miles away from Liu Xuan, why did we suddenly rest?" ”
Tian Zhao stared at Tian Sheng and said earnestly: "When marching and fighting, you can't just consider the distance, you have to consider the situation of the soldiers. We have traveled a long way, and the soldiers must be tired. Before attacking, give the soldiers a short rest and let them eat some dry food to replenish their strength. After raising his spirit, he killed Liu Xuan again. ”
Tian Sheng said: "Uncle is wise! ”
The three thousand elite horsemen stopped to rest, and after about half an hour, the soldiers had eaten dry food and meatloaf, regained some strength and spirit, and all mounted their horses and continued on their way.
The soldiers had already cheered up and wanted to cover up the killing of Liu Xuan and his party.
"Da! Da! ”
The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.
Everywhere the horses passed, the ground seemed to shake.
The distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing.
Sanqing Peak is the only way for Tian Zhao to catch up with Liu Xuan, which is a mountain forest formed by three mountains. Because most of the green pines on the mountain are evergreen in all seasons, it is called Sanqing Peak.
The terrain in this area is not steep, nor is it steep and difficult to walk, and the roads are quite wide. Just to catch up with Liu Xuan, you have to cross the road in the Sanqingfeng Mountain.
Tian Zhao didn't pay attention to such a location.
Tian Zhao understands the truth of Lin Mojin, but the current situation is different. The soldiers under Liu Xuan's command were already short of food, and the soldiers were disheartened and had no combat effectiveness. Under such circumstances, Tian Zhao only needed to lead his army to catch up, and the soldiers under Liu Xuan's command would immediately disperse. Feng Lin Mo is such an old saying, which is not suitable for the current situation, and Tian Zhao did not take it to heart.
"Da! Da! ”
The sound of horses' hooves resounded through the mountains and forests.
One by one, the horses entered the mountain forest, and the birds perched in the mountain were frightened, and they spread their wings and flew up, circling and fluttering in the air, not daring to fall.
The speed of the three thousand elite riders was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to enter the Sanqing Peak.
After walking for about half an hour, the team in front suddenly stopped, and the cavalry that followed also stopped.
Tian Zhao frowned, this has not yet arrived at the location where Liu Xuan is camping, why did he suddenly stop.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a soldier rode back.
Tian Zhao saw the soldier and asked, "What happened ahead?" ”
There was a hint of horror in the soldier's expression, and he said: "General, ahead, ahead, ahead, ahead, ...... ahead" The soldier said three times in a row, but did not say what was happening in front of him.
"Rubbish!"
The horsewhip in Tian Zhao's hand swung and struck the soldier.
"Drive!"
Tian Zhao glared at the soldiers, then rode forward and came to the front.
With the help of the firelight, Tian Zhao saw the situation in front of the official road.
On the official road ahead, there was a coffin. There are more than a dozen of these coffins that stand densely together. Seeing such a scene at night is quite infiltrating. Among all the coffins, the one at the front was the largest, more than a foot high. There was a piece of paper attached to the coffin, and four big characters were written on it - Tian Zhaozhi's coffin.
Seeing this scene, Tian Zhao was furious.
Outrageous!
Liu Xuan is really looking for death, and he even dares to provoke.
Tian Zhao clenched his fists, his face was angry, and ordered: "It's just a trick played by Liu Xuan, it's not worth mentioning." Come on, remove all the coffins. When Ben was about to kill Liu Xuan, the largest coffin was used to hold Liu Xuan's body. ”
"Tian Zhao, the coffin is for you, and the official is not blessed to enjoy it."
Suddenly, Liu Xuan's voice came from the mountains and forests.
"Liu Xuan, is that you?"
Tian Zhao looked shocked, he actually heard Liu Xuan's voice here.
Because there was an echo in the woods, Liu Xuan's voice echoed, and it was impossible to judge the location. In particular, there are no torches around, and the eyes are black. Tian Zhao stepped back sharply, looking left and right under the protection of the soldiers.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, a resounding arrow with the light of fire rose from the forest and lit up in the air.
This fire is incomparably dazzling.
"Whew! Shout! ”
In an instant, feathered arrows shot out from both sides of the dark woods. The dense feather arrows were like the scythe of death that harvested the souls of the dead, shooting into the bodies of the Youzhou soldiers one by one, taking the lives of the soldiers one by one.
Tian Zhao panicked, and the three thousand elite horsemen under his command were at a loss.
"We've been tricked, we've been tricked!"
Tian Sheng came to Tian Zhao's side, his face frightened: "Uncle, we have been tricked, withdraw quickly." ”
"Retreat, retreat immediately."
Tian Zhao panicked, did not dare to fight, and hurriedly rode his horse back. At this moment, Tian Zhao suddenly regretted it, he thought it was a winning situation, but in the blink of an eye, he was actually ambushed by Liu Xuan.
What the hell is going on?
Liu Xuan is obviously short of food, and the army's morale is discouraged, how can he still have the courage to set up an ambush?
