Regarding Zhang Liao's answer, Lu Xun just smiled faintly. Of course he knew that Zhang Liao's injury was definitely not as simple as he said. It was just that Zhang Liao refused to tell the truth. Lu Xun did not tell him about this. The morale of the vanguard army now depends on
Zhang Liao is here to support him. With Zhang Liao here, the morale of the vanguard army will not dissipate. This is why Zhang Liao has always insisted on refusing to tell the truth.
After resting for a while, he looked up at the sky. It was past noon, and the sunlight was not as strong as before. Zhang Liao coughed lightly, stood up, and said to everyone: "Okay! It's almost time! Let's go.
Let’s get going!”
The Western Qin Army's daily training is very strict. After hearing Zhang Liao's words, the soldiers who had been lying on the ground to rest immediately jumped up and stood in rows, ready to obey orders at any time. Zhang Liao and the three men
At the same time, he got on his horse. Just when Zhang Liao was about to give the order to continue marching, suddenly a shout came from the north. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the scout who had been sent out before. Now he was riding a fast horse and shouting.
Holding on, rushing towards this side.
Seeing the anxious look on the scout's face, the hearts of Zhang Liao and the others sank. When the scout arrived, before the scout could speak, Zhang Liao directly shouted, "But the pursuers are coming?"
Panting heavily, the scout dismounted and clasped his fists at Zhang Liao and replied: "Report to the general! It is Sun Wu's pursuers! There are nearly three thousand cavalry approaching here!"
"Hiss——!" Hearing the scout's words, Zhang Liao and the other three men and even the other soldiers on the side couldn't help but gasped. No wonder the pursuers were chasing so fast. I didn't expect that Sun Ce could dispatch so many cavalry to pursue him.
! With the speed of these cavalry, it won't take long to catch up! Zhang Liao's expression changed, and he immediately shouted to the soldiers of the vanguard army: "Why are you still standing here? Let's go! Speed up in the direction of Xin County!"
Now the soldiers of the vanguard army no longer look tired. This is related to their lives. If they are chased by the pursuers, it will be a fierce battle! The soldiers naturally hope to rush to the new county as soon as possible.
There are even many soldiers who are regretting why they wasted so much time to rest just now!
On the road again, the atmosphere this time was completely different from just now. A sense of urgency was like a big mountain, pressing on the hearts of the soldiers. That was three thousand cavalry! In such a plain area, the cavalry is as powerful as the infantry.
Occupying an absolute advantage! If the cavalry catches up, how can the two thousand vanguard troops withstand the attack of three thousand cavalry?
At this time, Lu Xun was still thinking rapidly in his mind as he rushed. Although Sun Ce sent all Sun Wu's troops to pursue him this time, he was able to mobilize 3,000 cavalry in such a short period of time.
I'm afraid it's not something Sun Wu can do. After all, the Yuzhou and Yangzhou controlled by Sun Ce are not horse-producing places. Suddenly an idea flashed through Lu Xun's mind, and he directly waved to the scout who had just returned.
, asked: "Let me ask you, what kind of horses are the horses that Sun Wu's pursuers are riding?"
"Huh?" The scout didn't expect that Lu Xun would suddenly ask these questions, and couldn't help but be stunned. However, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and quickly replied: "If I remember correctly, those war horses seem to be all white.
Yes! They are all white horses!"
"White horse!" Hearing this answer, Lu Xun felt a chill in his eyes again. Sure enough! Speaking of this white horse, it must be the war horse Sun Ce borrowed from Cao Cao! Four years ago, Sima Yi took the white horse with him.
After switching to Cao Cao's account, all the horses of the White Horse Yi Cong were also owned by Cao Cao. Cao Cao put the White Horse Yi Cong into Bingzhou, and forcibly cultivated Bingzhou into Cao Wei's horse breeding base. Due to breed reasons, the horses produced from Bingzhou
Almost all of his war horses are white! I didn’t expect that Cao Cao would secretly assist Sun Ce to such an extent, and even lend Sun Ce such an important strategic resource as war horses!
And this also shows Sun Ce's determination to eliminate Zhang Liao's vanguard army this time. Lu Xun is becoming more and more uneasy. It seems that Zhang Liao's plan may not be so easy to complete this time!
Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the vanguard army rushed towards the location of Xin County as quickly as possible, as if behind them, there was a man-eating beast chasing them desperately. The atmosphere of fear was so oppressive.
They were breathless. With great difficulty, they looked far ahead at the new county that was slowly appearing. They felt a sense of relief from the bottom of their hearts, making everyone feel like they were about to fly. Zhang Liao was also one of the spirited ones.
Zhen, shouted: "Charge! Take the new county in one go!"
"Kill -!" Whether it was because of Zhang Liao's order or because of their own lives, the officers and soldiers of the vanguard army rushed towards Xinxian crazily and seemed to really intend to capture Xinxian in one go! This
After all, it was the vanguard army's only chance of survival now. Even Lu Xun temporarily put aside his doubts, drew his sword, and rushed over with the vanguard army soldiers.
"Woo——!" Seeing that the vanguard army was about to rush to the foot of Xinxian City, suddenly a horn sound came from the city, and the city gate of Xinxian County opened automatically. And from the city, a horseman ran out first
, holding two guns and wearing silver armor, shouted loudly at the vanguard: "Zhang Liao! Lu Xun! Tai Shici has been waiting here for a long time!"
"Taishici!" Lu Xun's eyes widened immediately. Of course he recognized the two spearmen in front of him. It was Taishi Ci, the master of Sun Wuzhong who was second only to Sun Ce! Originally, Taishi Ci was stationed in Yangzhou all year round.
Dong, to guard against Gan Ning, but he didn't expect that he would appear here now! Seeing Taishi Ci appear here, Lu Xun's head also exploded with thunder. Doesn't this mean that the vanguard army's plan has changed from the beginning?
He had already fallen into Sun Wu’s plan from the beginning!
What Lu Xun thought of, Zhang Liao also thought of, but now there is no other way out. He can only continue to charge forward. Only by defeating Taishi Ci and taking over the new county can the vanguard army have a chance of survival! Immediately, Zhang Liao roared,
He picked up the hook and sickle and rode towards Tai Shi Ci to kill him!
Facing the charging Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci had never seen Zhang Liao before, but from the brand-new hooked sickle in Zhang Liao's hand, Taishi Ci guessed Zhang Liao's identity. Taishi Ci sneered and raised his hands.
With his gun, he faced Zhang Liao and killed him. As for Lu Xun, who was in the vanguard army, he was shocked when he saw it. He knew that Zhang Liao's injury was not healed at all. Now if he fights against Tai Shici, who is also a top master, he will only die.
! He quickly shouted to Le Jin: "General Le! Go and help General Zhang! The other soldiers will follow me to attack the city!"
At this critical moment, the soldiers of the vanguard army no longer cared whether Lu Xun had command authority. Under Lu Xun's command, the soldiers of the vanguard army began to rush towards the city gate crazily! However, at this moment, from
There was movement in the city again. This time it was not just one or two figures, but a large number of soldiers and horses rushing out. At a glance, there were at least two to three thousand people!
But when things got to this point, there was no longer any way out. Lu Xun gritted his teeth and actually took the lead, leading his soldiers to fight against the Sun Wu army who rushed out of the city!
At the same time, Zhang Liao had already fought with Taishi Ci. The two spears in Taishi Ci's hands were waving like two balls of light, pressing towards Zhang Liao from the left and right. For a moment, Zhang Liao was stunned.
To the left and right, there are so many shadows of guns that most people really can't tell which move is a real move and which one is a feint!
However, Zhang Liao is not an easy person. Although he was injured, it did not affect Zhang Liao's eyesight and experience. Facing Taishi Ci's attack, Zhang Liao's eyes flashed coldly, but he raised the hand he had just made in the past two days.
The hook and sickle directly slashed at the wrists of Taishi Ci's hands! This move was a must-defend attack. No matter how fast Taishi Ci's spear move was, he still couldn't break away from the control of his wrists. Zhang Liao's knife was pointed directly at it.
The key, but also a clever way to defeat Tai Shici's attack!
"Well done!" Taishi Ci shouted, but his face became more and more excited. He had been in contact with Sun Ce more, and Taishi Ci was also infected by Sun Ce's extremely bellicose personality! In the past, in Yangzhou, Taishi Ci would either
Sun Ce competed with Gan Ning from time to time, and masters of the same level only encountered Sun Ce and Gan Ning. Now that he met a new opponent like Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and his spirit
He fought with Zhang Liao vigorously!
Taishi Ci became more brave as he fought, while Zhang Liao became more and more bitter as he fought. After these few rounds of fighting, Zhang Liao was able to judge the extent of Taishi Ci's skills. Although he could be considered a top master, compared to
Sun Ce and Taishi Ci still have some shortcomings. If it were Zhang Liao in his heyday, if he had to face Taishi Ci, even if he couldn't win, he would at least be able to maintain an undefeated situation. But the problem now is that Zhang Liao is injured! Every time
As he swung the knife, Zhang Liao felt the sharp pain in the wound on his shoulder, and it felt as if a hand was tugging at his heart in his chest, making Zhang Liao breathless. This meant that Zhang Liao's internal injuries were beginning to attack!
Under various unfavorable circumstances, it is almost impossible for Zhang Liao to defeat Taishi Ci now! After blocking several attacks from Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao could only parry, but no longer had the ability to counterattack.
!Looking back at Tai Shi Ci, he really became more and more courageous as he fought. The two spears in his hands were like a continuous flow of water, attacking Zhang Liao one after another, and the intensity of each move was strengthened.
In the end, Zhang Liao even felt that his hands were starting to go numb and he could no longer use his strength!
