Under the cold moonlight, Zhang Yan took the lead, holding an iron gun, riding a dark cloud snow horse, and galloping towards the ruins of Guangqi County.

At the same time, thousands of soldiers flocked from all directions, with people and horses, and quietly approached the county seat of Guangqi.

More than 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers surrounded Guangqi County, Zhang Yan in the south, Xu Sheng in the north, Lü Dai in the east, and Chen Ying in the west, and at the same time launched an attack on Guangqi County, while Deng Yi and Wang Bo led some spearmen and archers to line up on the periphery, blocking the main road for Cao's army to retreat.

The soldiers of the Cao army were sleeping soundly, when they suddenly heard a shout of killing, and they all woke up from their dreams, and before they could figure out the situation, they had been stabbed to death by the cavalry who rushed quickly.

Zhang Yan rushed to the front with the cavalry, and wherever he passed, blood was splashed everywhere, screaming again and again, and he killed directly into the depths of Guangqi County. The infantry that followed closely behind the cavalry, like a torrent, made up for the place where the cavalry failed to reach, and the head of the Cao soldier fell to the ground with his sword in hand.

Suddenly, the Xuzhou soldiers outside lit torches one after another, and the entire Guangqi County was surrounded by torches. Reflecting the firelight, they could see that the Xuzhou soldiers who fell from the sky were arbitrarily harvesting the heads of the Cao army's soldiers, and the Xuzhou soldiers were like broken bamboos and unstoppable.

Cao Ren was asleep, and was awakened by the chaotic sound outside, he didn't have time to put on his armor, and immediately came to the outside of the house, and saw the fire all around, and the shouts of killing were endless.

At this time, a military commander ran over in a panic, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Cao Ren hurriedly asked.

"General Qiyu, my subordinates don't know where so many Xuzhou soldiers came out of nowhere, there are people in all directions, and they are about to kill here......"

There were bursts of screams in Cao Ren's ears, and everywhere his eyes could reach, there were Cao Jun's panicked expressions, and he occasionally heard someone shouting "Kill Cao Ren, reward a thousand gold".

The night was indistinguishable, and Cao Jun fell into chaos again, Cao Ren didn't know how many Xuzhou soldiers were coming, he only felt that these noisy voices were getting closer and closer to his location.

Cao Ren immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered: "Gather all the soldiers and horses that can be assembled, retreat in the northwest direction, and be sure to break out of the encirclement!" ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the order was issued, Cao Ren didn't bother to put on his helmet and armor, jumped on a horse brought by his own soldiers, and retreated in the northwest direction under the escort of his own soldiers.

As soon as Cao Ren left here, Zhang Yan led the cavalry over there to kill, and when he saw Cao Ren fleeing in the northwest direction with his soldiers and horses, he waved his spear and shouted: "Cao Ren is leaving!" ”

Cao Ren heard a shout from behind him and looked back, but saw that the leader was Zhang Yan, who shot his younger brother Cao Chun.

Although he hated it in his heart, he was helpless in the face of such a situation, and it was important to flee for his life.

Zhang Yan rode his horse in pursuit, took off the bow and arrow tied to the horse, opened his bow and arrow, and shot at the Cao cavalry who fled in front.

An arrow killed a Cao cavalryman, and Zhang Yan fired five arrows in a row, and all five Cao cavalry fell in response.

Cao Ren was surrounded by only more than 100 relatives, and in the midst of chaos, Cao Ren had no intention of fighting, but Zhang Yan behind him was ghostly, and he immediately ordered twenty cavalry to stay behind to block Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan's horse was fast, and he had already had a distance from the cavalry behind him, and he was chasing, when he suddenly saw twenty cavalrymen restraining their horses, turning their horses' heads one after another, and rushing towards him with their blades in their hands, he released another arrow, shooting a cavalryman, and then put the big bow on his shoulder, and reloaded the iron spear.

He single-handedly faced the nineteen fierce-looking Cao army cavalry on the opposite side, without any fear, and soon melee with the nineteen cavalry.

"Ahh

The screams continued to sound in Zhang Yan's ears, he kept shaking the spear in his hand, calmly responded, and after a while, he stabbed all the nineteen cavalrymen to death under the horse.

Cao Ren inadvertently turned around and was also surprised to see Zhang Yan kill all the subordinates he left behind. However, after a period of resistance by the twenty cavalry, Cao Ren bought a little time, and he gradually distanced himself from Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan saw that the distance between him and Cao Ren was widened, and he was unwilling, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, shouted "driving", and chased after him.

The dark cloud stepping snow horse under the seat seemed to be able to feel his anxious mood, and with a "whoosh" sound, it galloped out, like an arrow off the string, rolling up a piece of mud and sand on the ground, like a ghost, chasing towards Cao Ren.

"General, that man is chasing after you again!"

When Cao Ren heard this shout, he was taken aback and looked back, but saw Zhang Yan riding the black and bright war horse under the seat, quickly chasing after him, and getting closer and closer to him.

Only then did he notice that the four hooves of the horse Zhang Yan was riding were glowing with white light, and he exclaimed, "Could this be the legendary Dark Cloud Stepping Snow Horse?" ”

He looked around, and saw that there were many panicked Cao soldiers around, and he was about to order those Cao soldiers to move closer to him, who knows, Chen Ying suddenly killed from the west with a force of cavalry, and the Cao soldiers couldn't resist and fled in all directions.

Almost at the same time, Xu Sheng also led a force of cavalry to kill from the north, and wherever he went, no one dared to stop Cao's soldiers.

These two sudden cavalry instantly blocked Cao Ren's way, he hurriedly reined in the horses, stopped in place, seeing that Zhang Yan was about to chase, Cao Ren couldn't help but be annoyed: "There is an obstacle in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, is the sky going to kill me Cao Ren?" ”

While he was talking, suddenly there was a commotion behind the cavalry led by Xu Sheng, and Le Jin took the lead, taking the lead, holding an iron spear, and rampage from behind with a Cao army cavalry.

Xu Sheng hurriedly turned his horse's head to meet Lejin, but he was rushed away by the congested crowd, and he had no chance to start.

After a while, Le Jin relied on his bravery to fight his way out, and when he saw Cao Ren, he immediately shouted: "General, please come with me!" ”

Cao Ren was overjoyed, and immediately rode his horse to Xu Sheng, and when he met Le Jin, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Le Jin immediately crossed the gun, passed by Cao Ren, and shouted to his subordinates: "Protect the general and go first!" ”

Cao Ren carried a long sword, and under the protection of the cavalry led by Le Jin, he killed more than ten Xuzhou cavalry, rushed through a bloody road, and soon retreated north.

Le Jin took more than 100 cavalry to take charge of the break, and with the spear in his hand, he stabbed to death many Xuzhou cavalry one after another, and fought and retreated.

Seeing this, Xu Sheng rode his horse and galloped, and soon came to Le Jin's side, raised a knife in his hand, and swung it towards Le Jin, and instantly fought with Le Jin.

And Chen Ying also hurriedly led troops to support, outflanked from the periphery, and surrounded Lejin.

Le Jin and Xu Sheng fought for four or five rounds, and the victory or defeat was not scored, the two of them came and went, the more they fought, the more courageous they became, and they both wanted to kill each other.

Zhang Yan also arrived at this time, and saw that Xu Sheng and Le Jin were fighting, and Cao Ren had fled without a trace, so he immediately jumped over the ruins on the side of the road, bypassed the congested battle site in front, and shouted at Chen Ying: "Zhonghu, this place will be handed over to Xu Sheng, you bring someone with me, don't leave Cao Ren!" ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan suddenly saw Cao Ren, who had fled, and returned along the same route.

However, at this time, his expression was completely similar to that of the two of them when he fled in a hurry just now, his face was cold, his eyes were full of fierce light, his face was pale, he was holding a long sword, and he was the first to rush to the front, with a sword in his hand, he killed a cavalryman who came to block, simply and neatly, so as not to drag mud and water.

Zhang Yan saw that Cao Ren was back again, and a trace of joy appeared on his face, but after a while, the smile on his face completely stiffened, and he noticed that behind Cao Ren were all indignant Cao army soldiers, and the eyes of these soldiers were all fierce, and when they drove out of the darkness, they looked like ghosts.

"Wen Qian, I'm here to save you!" Cao Ren shouted at the surrounded Le Jin, but the long sword in his hand was still waving, killing one after another Xuzhou soldiers who came to attack.

Le Jin was in the middle of a battle with Xu Sheng, when he suddenly heard Cao Ren's shout, turned his head to look, but saw Cao Ren come back with soldiers and horses, he was quite surprised, and hurriedly shouted: "Why did the general go and return?" ”

"If you lay down your life to save me, how can I not come and save you?" Cao Ren quickly killed in, relying on his personal bravery, and was stunned to tear a crack in the encirclement of the Xuzhou soldiers.

Zhang Yan saw that Cao Ren was very bold at this time, and his subordinate soldiers were even more sworn to fight to the death, and the Xuzhou soldiers could not resist for a while, and were killed by Cao Ren out of a bloody way.

Seeing this, Le Jin was overjoyed, and shook a shot at Xu Sheng, forced Xu Sheng away, turned his horse's head, and took the only dozen or so cavalry around him to retreat with Cao Ren, and fled north along the original road.

"Chase! Give me chase! Zhang Yan saw Cao Ren and Le Jin fleeing, and hurriedly shouted.

Chen Ying led people to gallop from the side and chased along the road where Cao Ren and Le Jin escaped, but as soon as they were less than ten meters away, a burst of arrows suddenly shot from the darkness.

The cavalry were defenseless, and many of them were shot and fell off their horses, but Chen Ying's swordsmanship was skillful, swinging his long sword, and a sword net danced in front of him, blocking all the arrows.

At this time, Zhang Yan rode a dark cloud snow horse and chased from behind, like a bolt of lightning, and instantly galloped in front of the Cao army archers who were ambushed on the side of the road, and stabbed an archer to death with a single shot, and the rest of the Cao army archers were taken aback and fled in all directions.

At the same time, Chen Ying and Xu Sheng each led their soldiers and horses to kill, and the iron hooves were everywhere, and all the archers of the Cao army were killed.

"Lord, let Cao Ren and Le Jin run away, what should I do?" Chen Ying asked.

Zhang Yan said: "We have surrounded the Cao Army, they can't run away, chase me!" ”

"Whoa!"

So, the three of them joined forces, Zhang Yan was in front, Chen Ying and Xu Sheng followed, scattered with more than 1,000 cavalry, and continued to search for Cao Ren and Le Jin in the city.
