Liu Xun was killed, Zhao Yun raised his head and left, and at this moment in the forest behind, many cavalry rushed back and forth, shouting loudly in the night.

The sound of horses' hooves was chaotic like a drum, and the sound of the drums was shocking, and after a series of drums sounded, the rest of the soldiers and horses immediately thought that there were more ambushes in the forest.

Moreover, they were all cavalry, and they couldn't tell how many people there were, and in a panic for a while, Dian Wei led people to start fighting and retreating.

Liu Xun's soldiers and horses in the distance, under grief, didn't know whether to chase or not, and under this gap, let Dian Wei get up and go back, bring the dead soldiers back, and get into the forest.

But the enemy army still rushed up like a tide to avenge his commander.

Several lieutenants were constantly shouting left and right.

When Zhao Yun rode away, he and the cavalry behind him repelled the pursuers, and shot out another rain of arrows from the forest, spreading them in the air.

Xu Zhen could still see all this clearly in the forest, it was his order to be suspicious of the soldiers, and the same was true for ordering archery at this time.

"Dian Wei, take the dead and retreat first!"

"Huh! My body hurts so much! ”

Dian Wei returned to the military formation, and after a fierce battle, he found that there were several deep wounds on his arms and chest, and the flesh and blood were rolled up.

There are already many of these striking wounds all over the body, and this time there is a deep one, and it is estimated that it will take a period of rest.

"Let's go! Immediately find the mountain road and follow the previous route to go back! ”

"Whoa!"

"The archers suppressed, Min Yue went to bring all the war horses over and prepared to retreat!"

"Whoa!"

After a few commands, the arrows flew a few more rounds, but without the dead soldiers ambushing at the front, more and more people rushed up, like a tide, and they couldn't stop at all.

It just so happened that now Min Yue led people to bring all the war horses over, and the rest of the people immediately turned over their horses and walked around the rugged road of the valley behind the mountain, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared.

The soldiers and horses chased for a while, and found that the cavalry in the forest was just pretending to be suspicious, and immediately understood the plan.

So the generals immediately ordered the cavalry to go after them.

This night, Xu Zhen's camp was fleeing, and there were thousands of cavalry under Liu Xun's command, and tens of thousands of foot soldiers were constantly marching.

"Although the main general died in battle, you must not lose the spirit of the army, we have more soldiers and horses, we can also break through the gate of Shucheng, once broken, we can avenge the general."

"Not bad! The Zhong family has to be built, and the soldiers and horses are already retreating, do you still want to go back to the mountains and forests to be thieves? ”

"Follow me to kill Shucheng, if you can't catch up with those thieves, then you will capture Shucheng, and then take Wancheng, once you can make meritorious contributions, you are all heroes, and the general will die well!"

"Let's go!"

Under the shouting of several generals with high prestige in the army, they suddenly changed back to the heart of the army, and the crowd immediately became indignant, "The general must not die in vain!" We're going to get revenge! ”

"Yes, moreover, this exposes that Shucheng is not prepared enough! Definitely! ”

"The task given to us by His Majesty is to break Shu City and take Xu Zhen's head!"

"Shu Cheng must not dare to take precautions, so he will take risks and come to ambush, the vanguard did not move, they must have let it go, in order to wait for the general to pass through here, so he started to raid and kill."

"We must not mess up our positions, according to the previous military strategy, now go to Shucheng immediately, attack the city with the vanguard soldiers and horses, and we will definitely be able to take Shucheng within a few days, and then report to Your Majesty!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go!!"

……

The second half of the night.

In the pursuit, Xu Zhen ambushed the pursuers three more times, repelled his men, as if tireless, with hundreds of people who were already skilled in riding and archery to pull and wander in the mountains, and would continue to raid if he could make a detour.

So the cavalry that pursued and killed continued to decrease, and they no longer dared to chase it.

"This person, it's so weird."

"He's been trying to kill us while he's on the run!"

"If you don't chase it, you can't chase it anymore, we are already alone now, if we are ambushed a few more times, we will almost be wiped out!"

"Whose soldiers and horses are this?! can also ride and shoot, and can fight at close range, the general led by him is too strong in martial arts! We can't fight it! ”

"Merge with the army first, if you chase it again, it is very likely that he will be killed by relying on the terrain, I don't know who this is, I don't know which general it is."

"Under the Cao clan, there are such horsemen, it is absolutely difficult to defeat here."

"Withdraw!!"

These cavalrymen did not dare to chase anymore and immediately chose to retreat.

Three or four thousand people gathered at the trailhead, ready to return, and just after walking for a while, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Xu Zhen and the people actually came back again, with a bow and arrows on the back of the war horse, a salvo came in a volley, and then the horse charged vigorously and chased after the galloping horse.

After getting closer, there was another round of flat shooting, so that these Shouchun soldiers didn't have time to react at all, and the pieces outside fell, and the few people led by them chased after them and rushed up again.

"It's too much of a deception! There are only a few hundred people, and they dare to chase us for thousands?! ”

"Why is he?!"

"If you catch up, you will kill him today!"

"I don't believe it, this person can still kill all of us between this mountain road, this time, keep chasing, no one should stop, unless he escapes to Shucheng!"

"Wow!!"

Thundered!

The war horse galloped with an extremely heavy voice and rushed to Xu Zhen.

At this moment, Xu Zhen suddenly smiled, "Let's go, let's go!" ”

Zhao Yun raised his spear, and all the cavalry behind him immediately understood, directly turned the horse's head and left, and before leaving, he opened his bow and shot a round of arrows again, and shot several war horses running in front.

The five hundred cavalry of the camp fled into the mountains, and soon disappeared into the mountains according to the terrain that had been repeatedly explored before.

And so on overnight.

As long as Shou Chunbing chases, Xu Zhen will retreat.

And after they didn't chase and retreated, Xu Zhen made a comeback, sometimes from the flanks.

So chased all night.

These soldiers and horses realized that there was another army in the valley! Haw Par Ride is also here!

Cao's leopard cavalry, equipped with light horses, is good at riding and shooting, and the war horses are extremely fast, and they affected the battle situation of the entire battlefield as soon as they appeared, killing at least half of the soldiers and horses.

Until dawn, Shouchun's soldiers and horses finally learned to be obedient, chasing Xu Zhen with half of the people, and the other half retreated, and finally withdrew from the valley.

But it also lost more than 2,000 people, and more than 1,000 war horses were scattered in the entire valley, all of which were pulled back by Xu Zhen, and after the people gathered, one person was responsible for two war horses and returned to the city as soon as possible.

Liu Xun revealed a lot of gains in this battle, not to mention it, but also got the elite equipment of the cavalry, as well as war horses.

……

At the same time, Shucheng is also in a big war.

Xu Chu's command of guarding the city is like a leisurely stroll, and every time he walks through, the soldiers and horses guarding the city gate will be extremely excited.

And on the castle tower, well prepared, with heavy bows and crossbows on both sides, carried out and placed on the grooves of the city walls, each shot could take away a large number of enemy troops.

So overnight, the ladder could not be erected, the rushing car could not break through the city gate, the dead and wounded enemy troops under the city had piled up, and the real siege equipment and catapults were still among the Chinese troops behind.

At dawn, the vanguard army attacked for another hour, and knowing that the city would be difficult to take, they retreated about ten miles, ready to find a better place to camp.

At this moment, the city gate is upstairs.

Cao Ang walked from the outside, his steps were extremely fast, and he strode into the hall, and Xu Chu followed behind him.

"What about people?"

Cao Ang's face was very anxious, "What about people? Where did it go? ”

"Why haven't you come back yet, didn't you say that you were only exploring the surrounding area? Ming said that as long as he explored the location of Liu Xun's army, he would come back immediately?! ”

"We've repelled their vanguards, why haven't they come back?"

Cao Ang was really anxious at this time, if something happened to Xu Zhen outside, he didn't know how to explain to his father afterwards.

Xu Chu immediately looked calm, his eyes were slightly downcast, and he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Eldest prince, the prince will never be fine." ”

"Almost all the guards around him are elite horses, and the leopard horses that respond are all tacit soldiers and horses who practice together day and night, and they will be fine."

"The eldest prince can rest assured, now we only need to hold Shucheng, judging from today's onslaught, Liu Xun's vanguard general is not good at attacking fortifications, and he wants to make contributions as soon as possible, but it does cost us a lot of garrison."

Zhuge Liang stepped forward at this moment and clenched his fists and said to Cao Ang: "Since ancient times, defending the city has been the life of the three armies, fighting for the first place with human lives, and the Shouchun soldiers and horses are in such a situation that they want to consume our armaments." ”

"The crossbow bolts were all shot out last night, and we need to continue to replenish them."

"The soldiers in the city may have to use manpower to fight each other in the next siege."

Mainly, even if he asked Zhuge Liang, he didn't know where Xu Zhen would be.

Who would have thought that after practicing the bow and arrow, his own prince would be so reckless, and he seemed to be extremely confident in himself, and he had to go to the battlefield to try it.

Try the taste of charging into battle.

Well, now, I don't know where I'm going.

"Let's look for it again, and while the Shouchun soldiers and horses haven't attacked yet, find my brother's whereabouts first."

Cao Ang's face was very ugly, and after a long sigh, he closed his eyes directly and even wanted to cry without tears.

After winning this battle to defend the city, I felt a little lost, and I didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.

As soon as they went out, less than a day later, Liu Xun's soldiers and horses had already arrived.

This speed is obviously not encountered outside, so where can Xu Zhen go?

At this time, the sound of footsteps outside the door came, and a deputy general walked quickly, quickly entered the lobby, immediately clenched his fists at Cao Ang, and said loudly: "Prince!" ”

"The prince is back, General Zhao beheaded Liu Xun, and now he is entering the city!"

"The prince said that Liu Xun's head will be passed on to the lieutenant generals of the army to boost the army's prestige, and then this head will be sent into the enemy army to cut off its military strength!"

"What?!"

Cao Ang's eyes widened, his eyes were full of wonderful brilliance, and he even had a little expectation, and immediately walked quickly to meet him.

Reconfirmed, "Really?" ”

"It's true!"

Cao Ang, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others glanced at each other, their eyes were full of smiles, they didn't expect to really make achievements!

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

They walked out of the city gate tower, and at this moment they saw that Xu Zhen had already returned from the city, pulling an unknown number of war horses, which were densely packed with empty horses.

Zhao Yun held a human head in his hand, raised it high above his head, his face was happy and relaxed, he was really a victorious general.

Stepping over the corpses on the ground, the white horse was about to turn blood red.

Such a gesture is, of course, a big victory! At this moment, the crowd above the city gate can be described as excited, cheering constantly.

At this moment, everyone was naturally excited in their hearts, just waiting for Xu Zhen to enter the city and spread Liu Xun's head to all the armies in the city.

And Xu Zhen was also pulled directly into the city gate tower by Cao Ang, and he was shocked to see Dian Wei's injury.

It can almost be guessed that the situation was urgent, and it must be the same as when it was in Wancheng.

At this moment, Xu Zhen's face did not show any panic, but was a little calm.

"It's not bad to charge."

"How did my brother kill Liu Xun?"

"We were ambushed for two days and nights in the small mountain pass, and our rations were almost exhausted, so we had to save money."

"In the end, we finally waited for Liu Xun's army," Zhao Yunle hehe, his face fluttering, "Thanks to Dian Wei!" It was he who proposed to press forward for dozens of feet, and he was already about to touch the side of the road. ”

"If he is discovered, he will really be besieged to death, but Liu Xun believes in the front army too much, and he does not send people to investigate carefully, and only thinks about passing quickly."

"That's how you can make a contribution."

"Now, just wait for Liu Xun's head to be sent outside, so that his soldiers and horses will be in turmoil, and we will wait for the opportunity to kill it, maybe we will be able to defeat it in a few days!"

Zhao Yun had almost already thought about the next battle.

Although there is still a steady stream of enemy troops outside, if they still want to attack, they will naturally lose their commander, and if this matter is spread to Jiujiang Shouchun, of course, it will make Yuan Shu angry.

The impact will be even greater.

Xu Zhen immediately said: "Immediately send an order to send Liu Xun's head outside the enemy camp and let them collect it themselves." ”

"These thieves actually don't have too many big thoughts in their hearts, they are mostly based on interests, and they will never become arrogant soldiers because of Liu Xun's death, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Zhen's face immediately became extremely confident, and he did hear a few shouts last night, but according to his observation, these soldiers did not have much respect for Liu Xun.

In other words, when Yuan Shu collected these thieves, he never let them experience a big battle with each other and cultivate such feelings, and the major generals did not have enough personality charm.

In addition, Yuan Shu trespassed the Han Dynasty, and he may have already lost the hearts of the people.

"Not bad!"

Cao Ang thought so and asserted firmly.

To be honest, after winning the battle today, his mind was still floating outside, and he couldn't settle down at all.

But after Xu Zhen came back at this moment, his mind is now a lot calmer, his thinking is much clearer, and he is no longer disordered.

"Zilong, go and give the order immediately."

"Good!"

"Order all the tiger and leopard cavalry to get ready and go out of the city at any time to meet the enemy!"

Cao Ang gave the order.

At this time, Liu Xun has been killed, and all opportunities are in front of him.

As long as he can make achievements in Lujiang, Yuan Shu's army will be chaotic, the army will be scattered, and the people will be uneasy.

This battle is a sure victory!

The encroachment on Jiujiang will inevitably end before this winter.

This merit must be the first......

Everything depends on whether this time can break Liu Xun's remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in one battle!
