Chapter 61: The Grain Road

readx; The two teams of cavalry were chasing each other in the field, the arrows only broke through the air, and Deng Zhou cursed in his heart, if it weren't for the previous battle with the cavalry of Qian County, it would not be enough to stuff their teeth with the cavalry in front of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sou! Arrows flew past their ears, and the wind whirred.

"Kill all these Xiliang soldiers!" The more than thirty cavalry behind were chasing excitedly, and Liu Qi kept dipping his hand into the quiver and bending the bow to tie the arrow. However, although there are only more than ten cavalry Xiliang soldiers in front of him, it is extremely tricky to deal with, even if he is on horseback, the other party can still turn around and shoot back, such superb riding skills, among the eight hundred cavalry under General Han Dang, only a few people can do it.

Ah--- a scream, Deng Zhou's heart was furious, and another colleague was shot to death by the damned Southern Barbarian.

The two sides chased for two miles, and when Liu Qi decided to carry these dozen heads to receive the reward, at an undulating mound opposite, there was faint dust, and Liu Qi's intuition felt a little bad. When he wondered whether to continue the pursuit or retreat, the earth was already dusty and the sound of hooves was ringing.

Not good, Xiliang cavalry!

When Liu Qi was shocked, about fifty or sixty horsemen emerged from the small mound, and they couldn't help but let these pursuers all the souls of the dead, and Deng Zhou, who had been defeated all the way before, had already turned his horse's head with more than ten people to chase back at this time.

Whoosh.....

Liu Qi's subordinates didn't have the ability to turn around and shoot back on horseback, two bursts of arrows rained, and suddenly five or six people fell off the horse with a scream, the empty saddle was undulating around him, and the frightened horse ran a few points faster than the manned.

Herod ..... a horse that had been hit by an arrow neighed and stumbled on the ground, splashing a large amount of dust.

"Thief, dare!" When Han Dang led more than 300 cavalry cavalry to reinforce in a hurry, there were only more than 10 cavalry left from the previous 30-odd cavalry, and more than half of them were lost.

In the main camp, Sun Jian frowned at this time, after two or three days of collision, his side sporadically added up to more than two hundred horsemen, more than a quarter of the cavalry under his command, and the battle damage of the Xiliang soldiers was less than half of his, once the cavalry in his hand was defeated by the Xiliang soldiers, his 20,000 troops would be completely blind, at this time Sun Jian regretted that he had offended Chen Qiong in Nanyang before, if he went north with Chen Qiong, with Chen Qiong's cavalry, plus him here, he didn't have to be too afraid of the Xiliang cavalry, even if he was still defeated by the Xiliang iron cavalry, at least it won't be so embarrassing. However, now that we have received definite news, Chen Qiong has been defeated by the Xiliang Army, but compared to the fate of Kong Zhou and Li Min being boiled to death with boiling water, Chen Qiong can still gather some of the rout and retreat.

However, if Xu Rong really thought that he could defeat him with this cavalry advantage alone, he would underestimate him, the Jiangdong Tiger. Sun Jian looked at the crude map on the parchment roll, and his eyes suddenly sharpened. Since the Xiliang cavalry is sharp, choose a terrain that can restrict the cavalry, and then defeat it in one fell swoop.

In the end, Sun Jian's gaze fell on the relatively narrow strip between Bear's Ears Mountain and Ye Ze River.

"Bears Ears Mountain? Well, let's go head-to-head. In the distance, Xu Rong looked in the direction where Sun Jianbu was, and smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth.

"General, on the right side of Bears Ears Mountain is the Yeze River, and the area between the two places is narrow, which is not conducive to the cavalry army to outflank and outflank, and it is not good for our army." Next to him, Sima Todd reminded him.

"Who said I was going to fight Sun Jian in Bears Ears Mountain?" Xu Rong turned around and smiled.

"Could it be that the general already has a strategy to break the enemy?" Todd asked, confused.

"Sun Jian first forced Jingzhou to assassinate Shi, and then beheaded Nanyang Taishou, combined two troops and horses, and supported a large number of troops. I and Chen Qiong fought a series of battles, the casualties were not small, especially the cavalry casualties were nearly half, the risk of breaking the enemy was too great, you can take advantage of Sun Jian's opportunity to lure the enemy, choose a soldier and horse to entangle with it in Bears Ears Mountain, I personally led the troops to attack Yuan Shu, cut off its grain road, Sun Jian's army must be heartbroken, wait for me to return to the army, can be broken in a battle. Xu Rong turned around and strode away.

"Where does the general want to go?" Todd asked.

"Sanyo!" Xu Rong's voice floated from afar, the people had already mounted their horses, and the cavalry galloped away, and the ground was like a yellow dragon, and the sky was full of smoke and dust.

Ancient stack path, Zu Mao's body rose and fell with the pace of sitting up, three thousand soldiers and horses behind him lined up, looking at the grain team behind him, Zu Mao was in a good mood, since killing Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, Sun Jian's strength has increased greatly, and the strength of his subordinates has also risen. When Dong Zhuo's rebel thief entered Luoyang, there were only a few thousand people, and when he broke through this huge situation, the princes of the world could match him. This time, Sun Jian sat on an army of more than 20,000 people, and went north, with the martial arts of the lord Sun Jian, why can't he establish a meritorious career?

Zu Mao was looking forward to a bright future, when suddenly there was a cry for miles behind him, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

Not good, there are enemies robbing food! Zu Mao reacted immediately. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of civilian servants to flee in this direction with frightened faces.

"What's ahead of you, who is robbing the grain?" Zu Mao asked angrily as he stepped forward.

"Rin, General Rin, in front, there are nearly a thousand bandits in front, kill people when they see them, rob the grain and flee to the mountains!" The leader of the civil servant said with a sad face.

"How can it be reasonable to dare to touch a certain grain and grass, Wang Yu, you continue to take care of the grain team, and I will go to calm these bandits and come to meet you again." Zu Mao was furious when he heard this, and immediately requisitioned a thousand soldiers and hurried to the place where the incident occurred. If the bandits want to transport grain, they will not be able to escape far. A group of rabble, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to compare with the regular army, Zu Mao has followed Sun Jian for a long time, fought in the south and the north, fought with the Yellow Turban Army, and the Changsha rebel Shi Xingchuan have all fought against each other, and he knows these rebels very well, and he is not afraid that the other party will have any back.

A thousand people rushed to the place where the incident occurred, but as soon as he arrived, Zu Mao found that something was wrong, the ground was trembling slightly, no, it was the hooves of the horses, it was not a bandit, but who would move their grain and grass if it was not a bandit? The yellow scarves in Yuzhou have long been almost quelled, and only the sporadic bandits are still surviving.

"Xiliang Iron Ride!" When he saw a large group of strong cavalry in black armor appear in his sight, a cold sweat broke out on Zu Mao's back, why did the Xiliang soldiers appear here?

Oops! Such a thought flashed in Zu Mao's heart, and he shouted loudly, "Form a formation, the spearmen are in front, refuse the horse!" Fast! ”

"Even with a thousand cavalry, you want to block more than a thousand Xiliang cavalry? What a dream! Tuoba Ye was stabbed in the thigh by Chen Zhi, and was recuperating in the camp at this time, and Xu Rong was personally responsible for leading this cavalry at this time. It turned out that there were nearly 2,500 horsemen, and after a few battles with Chen Qiong, now only 1,400 horsemen remain. This was the greatest loss he had ever suffered since he fought against the princes.

"Shoot!" More than a thousand cavalry fiercely rushed towards the small army formation that Zu Mao hastily assembled, but as soon as they entered the firing range, the cavalry suddenly divided to both sides, and the few arrows of the infantry army were all shot in the air. It was impossible to shoot the moving cavalry, and the rain of arrows on the cavalry side fell on the heads of the infantry.
