Chapter 817: On the Way Home

In the early morning, the wind stopped, the snow stopped, the sun came out, and the faint light, like a thin layer of gold, spread on the fine snow surface, constantly melted small snowflakes.

The southern suburbs of Xudu.

The southern suburbs are a mountain forest, in the past, Cao Cao set the capital in Xudu City, when hunting, most of them went to the southern suburbs, and the exit of this mountain forest is in the mouth of the hungry tiger.

Hungry Tiger's Mouth is a valley mouth in the shape of sharp teeth on both sides of the tiger, the cliffs on the left and right sides are towering, the slopes are steep, but in the middle is a flat basin, which belongs to a pass on the outskirts of Xudu that goes straight to the official road.

At this moment, above this pass, under the sun, the blood is awe-inspiring, and everywhere there are corpses and broken arms, and the ground is full of wounded soldiers wailing inappropriately.

"They're terrible!"

The leader of the Yingchuan County soldiers, Han Ming, the governor of Yingchuan County, was picked by Tai Shici with a shot, and he did not die, but he broke a leg, and he was lying on the ground without tears.

These Wu cavalry were like wolves and tigers, and in just half an hour, they actually broke through the defensive line he held, and more than half of the three thousand soldiers under his command were killed or wounded, and the others were all wounded, and there was nothing in the battle.

"My lord, are we going to catch up?"

"Chase fart!"

Han Ming glared at the soldiers beside him, and said, "Isn't it the same as delivering food to catch up, even if you want Lord Jun to guard Dafu Mountain, just our little people, is it enough for them to kill?" ”

"So what's going on now?"

"Wait for reinforcements!"

Han Ming's gaze swept over the corpses strewn across the valley mouth, and said, "Let the brothers who are not injured clean up the battlefield and see how many brothers are still alive!" ”

Da Da Da !!!

Half an hour later, amid the neighing of the horse's hooves, the hurried tiger and leopard rider stopped in front of the hungry tiger's mouth. The leading general, Xu Huang's eyes sank coldly, and what caught his eyes was the wreckage all over the ground.

"We're late!"

Xu Huang's expression was pale.

"Damn, these useless things, this can make them run away!"

Dian Wei tightened his grip on the reins of his horse, his eyes swept fiercely over the remnants of the army, and he shouted in a loud voice with dissatisfaction.

Yingchuan Commander Han Ming was swept by this gaze. My heart tightened suddenly.

"A certain family asked you, when did the cavalry of the Wu State fight over?"

A tiger and leopard rider jumped off his horse directly, strode up, and then grabbed a wounded soldier on the ground who was wailing, and asked coldly.

"My lord, half a ...... Half a ......" replied with a shudder.

"Let me answer!"

Han Ming, supported by two personal soldiers, walked towards Xu Huang's war horse and said, "A certain is the commander of Yingchuan, report to the general." An hour ago, they had already broken through the mouth of the hungry tiger! ”

"How many of them are there?" Xu Huang asked.

Before this, they had already seen the soldiers and horses who were full of favors on Dafu Mountain, and knew that Lu Bu and Tai Shici's breakthrough had suffered heavy casualties.

"More than three thousand, less than four thousand or so, all cavalry, very fierce, headed by two generals. One person is Lu Bu, and the other person calls himself Tai Shici. Invincible, no one can stop you! ”

"Lu Bu?"

Dian Wei's tiger eyes burst out with a sharp battle intent.

"It's still too late, after a night of fierce fighting, most of them are already exhausted, even if they break out of the encirclement, they must rest. We chase! ”

Xu Huang's eyes also burst with a cold killing intent, and said: "Tiger and leopard riders, quickly go to Shangguan Dao, you must catch up before they cross Nanyang!" ”

The large army of cavalry was still behind. He and Dian Wei took five thousand of the most elite tigers and leopards to catch up first, but unfortunately, they were still a step too slow.

"Yes!"

The tiger and leopard cavalry is the most elite cavalry of the Wei State, although the soldiers are in a hurry for a day, but they are still high-spirited, the former capital has been breached, for the Wei Dynasty, it is a great shame, this shame, can be washed with blood.

"Chase!"

Dian Wei took the lead, riding the melon yellow flying lightning given by Cao Cao, jumped out in one bite, and rushed to the official road in front.

Since he fought with Zhao Yun in the East China Sea, he deeply felt that there was a sky outside the sky, there were people outside the world, and he was more diligent in martial arts.

This strong man, who is ranked the third in the world, has not many people in the world who can fight head-on, so he is naturally a little anxious.

Da Da Da !!!

Xu Huang pulled the reins of the horse, led thousands of tigers and leopards to ride quickly after the official road, and chased in the direction of Nanyang.

……

At this moment, on the official road ten miles away from them, Lu Bu and Tai Shici asked the soldiers to rely on a small river and stop for a quarter of an hour.

A night of fierce fighting, the four battles were all bloody battles, even if these soldiers were in the elite, they were a little unbearable.

"Whew!"

Lu Bu walked to the creek, squatted down, took a sip of water, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Finally broke out, this battle is more dangerous than a certain family escaping from Chang'an back then!" ”

From the raid on the eastern suburbs to the battle of the hungry tiger's mouth, not only must it be broken through, but it must also be solved overnight, which is that the two of them personally lead the troops, otherwise even if it is only him for a month, he will definitely be defeated.

Fortunately, he pulled Tai Shici out, otherwise, he really couldn't go back this time.

"It's dangerous!" Tai Shici also came over, washed the wounds on his body with stream water, and hastily bandaged it again.

This was the most dangerous battle he had ever experienced, from the raid on the Wei army camp in the eastern suburbs to the passage of the Hungry Tiger Pass, 6,000 soldiers faced tens of thousands of troops.

Four battles in one night, four battles and four victories.

The Overlord Iron Rider and the White Horse Righteous Servant have created a legend on the battlefield.

"Troops, see how many soldiers we have?" Lu Bu stood up and swept his gaze over all the soldiers behind him......

"Yes!"

The generals nodded, and then began to count the remaining soldiers under their command.

"Report to the general, there are only 1,337 soldiers left in the Overlord Iron Cavalry!"

"Report to the general, there are only 1,652 brothers and soldiers left in Bai Ma Yicong!"

Breaking down this way, the overlord iron cavalry attacked head-on, the white horse righteous attacked from the maneuver, and all the casualties of the overlord iron cavalry were still above the white horse righteous congregation.

Listening to the soldiers' reports, the hearts of the two main generals, Lu Bu and Tai Shici, ached slightly.

"More than half of the casualties have been imposed, and this is since the Overlord Iron Cavalry became an army. Something that has never happened before, even when the army was just formed, Jiang Hou personally led them to besiege Cao Cao in the East China Sea, and then was besieged and killed, even in the past, he had never suffered such a large number of casualties! ”

Tai Shi Ci sighed.

"White Horse Yi since the year of the Shouchun War. There has never been such a casualty! ”

A white-horse soldier said in a low voice with a gloomy face.

White Horse Yicong this elite soldier, the biggest casualty is the bloody battle of Shouchun in the past, thousands of white horse elite soldiers, in order to protect Sun Quan, only a few hundred.

This is the first time since that battle that more than half of the casualties have been lost.

"On the battlefield, kill 1,000 enemies, lose 800, and pay casualties. When I return to Jingzhou, I will inevitably send them into the martyrs' cemetery in person in the Flying Tiger Camp! ”

Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

After the reform of the army, each of the seven military regions has a martyr's cemetery, and there are only sons and daughters who died for the war of Wu. to enter the martyrs' cemetery.

"Right now, the most important thing for us is. Return to Jingzhou! ”

Lu Bu began to cheer up the morale of the army, there was no morale, but he couldn't break out, and said: "This is already Yingchuan, come to Yingshui, go south directly." It's Nanyang, Nanyang's Wuyin is now in the hands of our army, and when we arrive at Wuyin, we will be safe! ”

"General, don't be too happy just yet. We haven't gotten out of Yuzhou yet! ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly bitterly: "At this time, the tiger and leopard ride should also arrive, Dian Wei and Xu Huang will definitely bite us to death!" ”

"Then we can only compare the strength of the feet, the strength of the Wei army in the entire Yuzhou has already been requisitioned in Xudu, from here to Wuyin, the avenue is unblocked, there are not many troops to block, with our foot strength, day and night, at most two days!"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "I don't believe it, the speed of our cavalry is not as good as theirs!" ”

"Most of our soldiers are wounded, how can they travel day and night?" Tai Shi Ci shook his head and said, "If Bai Ma Yicong is still possible to get rid of them, but the speed of the Overlord Iron Cavalry is not as good as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Gong Nan just came to the news that Zhang Xiu is now gathering heavy troops to attack Wuyin, how many days can Shi Tao defend it?" ”

"Hehe, don't underestimate Shi Guangyuan, I believe he can survive until we go back!" Lu Bu said confidently: "Besides, in Jiujiang, they will also make a big move, which can somewhat mess up the direction of their pursuit, and they may not think that we are fleeing south!" ”

"Hopefully!"

Tai Shi Ci raised his head slightly, looked at the brilliance of the rising sun, and showed a smile of hope.

"Report!"

At this time, a white-horse scout cavalry behind hurriedly came up, jumped off his horse, and bowed his hand to report: "General, the tiger and leopard are coming, and they are now less than ten miles away from us!" ”

"They're coming so fast!"

Lu Bu's eyes were slightly cold: "Who is leading the troops?" ”

"Dian Wei and Xu Huang!"

"It's all here!" Tai Shi Ci sneered: "Some can't wait to take down the population of the two of us!" ”

"How many main forces?"

"There are only five thousand Overlord Iron Riders!"

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Fortunately, we didn't get through and were not blocked by them, otherwise we would have waited to be made dumplings!" ”

"They must have been a little tired after a day's journey, not much faster than us!" Tai Shi Ci said in a low voice.

"No matter what, we must leave immediately, cross the Yingshui first, if we are blocked on the Yingchuan, we will die!" Lu Bu turned over on his horse, held his weapon, and said loudly.

"Now let's compete for speed!"

Tai Shici turned over and got on the horse: "I want to see how strong the feet of the tiger and leopard are!" ”

"Sons, get on your horse quickly, we're going home!"

Lu Bu held the halberd in his hand, shouted, and the horse soared.

"Go home!"

"Go home!"

The soldiers with a morale like a rainbow let out monstrous shouts one by one, and rushed all the way south with the two god-like figures of Lu Bu and Tai Shici. (To be continued......)
