The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 4 Chapter 15: out of town

After crossing the moat and rushing into the Yellow Turban formation, Xun Zhen was very relaxed at first and didn't feel any pressure because of the complete armor and horseback. The line of defense of the people of Taoism.

He went out of the city to boost the morale of the county soldiers, and of course he couldn't stop there, urging the horse to gallop, and then charging forward.

After not far away, the yellow turban soldiers in the distance ran and surrounded them. Swords, spears, hoes, sticks, and various weapons were coming.

Xun Zhen had not had much experience in horse fighting. This was the first time for a large-scale battle. There was snow on the ground and it was relatively slippery. Once the horse's speed was reached, he firmly stepped on the stirrup with one foot, clamped/tighten the belly of the horse, loosened the reins, swung the spear condescendingly, and smashed away a shovel that was the first to hit the mount, and his men showed no mercy. Take advantage of the situation to pierce the chest of this Yellow Turban soldier.

This soldier is not very old, at most twenty years old, with a dark complexion. When he was just swinging his shovel and hacking, he was incoherent. He was just waving it randomly. At the front of him, there is nothing more than a brave man, plus his youth, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but he didn't expect that just after the shot, it was only a hit, and the spear was in the chest.

On a cold day, he was only wearing a sackcloth coat, and the sharp spear easily pierced into his chest. Blood blooms. He looked down at the wound in disbelief, Xun Zhen turned back and pulled out the spear, blood spurting out. He subconsciously tried to cover the wound with his hands, and a long knife slashed into his neck from the side. He wanted to see who cut him, but before his face twisted, he fell to the ground powerless.

It was Xu Zhong who slashed him with a knife, and he had been following Xun Zhen's horse since he left the city.

Xun Zhen and Xu Zhong didn't even look at the young peasant soldier again, and galloped past his fallen corpse.

Although Xun Zhen sympathized with the uprising Yellow Turban soldiers, but now on the battlefield, the relationship between the two sides is an enemy and me, and you will die. Compassion is not worth it. Besides, once you succeed, your bones will die. In what war did no one die? Since you are on the battlefield, you must have the consciousness of dying in battle. No matter if you are a prince or a nobleman, or a peasant or a commoner; no matter if you are an experienced veteran or a newcomer for the first time, it is the same on the battlefield. No one will sympathize with you.

Xun Zhen swung his spear and attacked. Xu Zhong slashed from the left to the right, and was invincible. Liu Deng held the red flag aloft in one hand and still had spare strength in the other, fighting with a spear. The three took the lead, and more than a hundred guests were invincible. Soon, the first wave of yellow turban soldiers who were surrounded was killed and scattered. The Yellow Turban soldiers were numerous, and one wave was scattered, and another wave came up. After rushing through the three waves of containment one after another, Xun Zhen gradually felt exhausted.

A man on the left diagonally slashed with a knife, Xun Zhen refused to let it go, relying on the length of the spear, he stabbed the man down before the ring-head knife slashed. A spear that stabbed was blocked, and then the prancing horse rushed forward, shouted loudly, grasped the handle of the spear, thrust forward with force, and then stabbed the man in front. Without stopping, he stomped over this person.

Even with a horse and a horse weighing several hundred pounds, the man couldn't dodge in time. He watched the horse's hoof step on his thigh. With the crisp sound of "click", the leg bone was broken, and he cried out in pain.

Before the cry fell, Liu Deng's mount and the mounts of the guests behind him stepped on him one after another.

Bright red blood splattered everywhere, sprinkled on the snow, and on the horses and clothes of the neighboring Xixiang guests and yellow turban soldiers. His screams stopped abruptly.

This death is too tragic. Most of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were peasants, and they were terrified. They had never been in a battle formation. They gathered a crowd to surround and kill Xun Zhen and others.

Xun Zhen took the opportunity to look behind her, and unknowingly, they were already two or three miles away from the moat. In the distance, they could see the flags fluttering on the top of the city. In the distance, they could hear the constant sound of drums in the city. In the sound of flags and drums, many people came to the city to watch the battle. They were guards wearing armor and holding spears. Prefect Wen, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao, Fei Chang and others were among them, but because they were too far apart, they couldn't tell who was who.

He turned his head and looked around with his spear raised. Although the yellow turban soldiers around him were fleeing in all directions, more yellow turban soldiers rushed towards him not far away.

Jiang Qin carried his spear and ran to his horse on foot, shouting, "Xunjun, you are far away from the city! Do you want to kill him back?" His face and armor were covered in blood.

"injured?"

"It's all the blood of thieves."

"Where's your horse?"

"When he first rushed into the battle, the horse was frightened and refused to move forward. He had no choice but to dismount and walk on foot."

Xun Zhenfu looked back, only to realize that it was not only Jiang Qin, but many of the guests who followed him had changed from riding to walking.

Fighting battles is no better than catching thieves. For example, there are more than 20,000 people outside the city, and a hundred or so of them are trapped in it. The front, back, left, and right are all ferocious enemies, spears, swords, and halberds like trees. The trained war horses really can't stand this terrifying battle.

The hundred people who went out of the city with Xun Zhen this time were all on horseback, and now, looking at it, only about half of them were still on the horses.

However, although half of the people abandoned their horses, there were not many casualties due to the fact that the guests were all dressed in armor, and they were all rangers who had been trained for a long time. Also, although they were covered in blood just like Jiang Qin, their spirits and spirits were still pretty good.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "These hundreds of guests are the capital of my life and safety. Today is my first confrontation with the Yellow Turbans, so I shouldn't lose too much. If there are horses, I can continue to charge, but now half of them are walking. , even if we can get out of trouble, there will be many casualties. The gains outweigh the losses.”

When they rushed into the formation, the Yellow Turbans were defeated everywhere they passed, which greatly boosted the morale of the county soldiers, and there was no need to continue taking risks. At this time, a drum sound was heard in the distance. Xun Zhen followed the voice and saw that it was coming from Bo Cai's chariot. With the sound of the drums, the hundreds of knights and armored soldiers who were standing beside Bocai began to move, and the direction of movement was clearly where he was.

Xun Zhen knew in his heart that this must be Bo Cai seeing that they were brave and invincible, and worried that the Yellow Turban soldiers would lose their morale, so he mobilized the main elite to come to encircle and suppress them.

He thought to himself, "Those knights and armored soldiers in Bocai's main formation are not ordinary yellow turban soldiers at first sight. If they are surrounded by them, it will be dangerous!" He made a decisive decision and raised his head and laughed.

Jiang Qin asked, "What is Xun-Jun laughing at?"

"Tai Ping Dao used demon words to deceive people's hearts. After gathering some fools and fools, they thought they were powerful and dared to rebel! They surrounded my county mansion without knowing how to live or die. I thought they were powerful, but now we only have a hundred people out of the city to disturb them. It's a world-shaking. But that's it! Such an adversary is not as good as the group of thieves that we killed in Fanyang Pavilion that day. The killing is boring, and the victory is incompetent." Ling said, "Go back to the city!"

Jiang Qin knew what he was thinking, he laughed and said, "Isn't it true? The demons are ignorant, they don't know the heights of the sky, they say it's a rebellion and besieging a city, it's better to say it's taking the initiative to die. It's really funny." Weak thief, it's boring to kill, go back to the city!"

Xun Zhen left behind the Jiang Qin Palace, turned the horse's head, took Xu Zhong, Liu Deng and other personal guards and rushed to the rear team, changing the rear team to the front team, and ordered Liu Deng to point the red flag at the city gate, shouting: " Go back to the city!"

They fought all the way out of the city, and most of the yellow turban soldiers passing by were killed and scattered by them. The road back to the city was easier than before, but they did not expect a sudden change.

Not long after they walked, the two Yellow Turban soldiers slashed at Xun Zhen's mount with their long knives.

Xun Zhen may have used too much strength and only blocked one handle, and the other handle could not be blocked, and the front leg of the mount was cut.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and at the moment when the mount bent its legs and fell forward, he threw off the stirrup and jumped off. When he jumped down, the head of the spear in his hand was up and the handle of the spear was down. Before he could turn the head of the spear, he struck bravely with the handle of the spear, hitting the yellow-robed soldier who had cut his horse's front leg, and hit his lower jaw. With a backhand stab, the other person is stabbed to death. Unexpectedly, the yellow scarf soldier who was hit in the jaw was very brave, and he didn't know if a relative was killed by Xun Zhen on the road just now. His eyes were filled with hatred and anger. Screaming and screaming, he still raised his knife and rushed forward with blood flowing from his mouth.

The knife has no spear length, so it suffers from long-distance battles, and takes advantage of close-range hand-to-hand combat.

Xun Zhen anxiously/withdrew the spear and took two steps back, trying to distance himself from him, but the blade was already in front of him.

Xu Zhong and Liu Deng were a few steps behind Xun Zhen, and they were unable to rescue them in time.

Xu Zhongjai was about to split, and let out his first roar after the battle today, he threw the knife out of his hand with all his might, and rotated to block the blade that was slashing at Xun Zhen. Liu Deng shouted and threw the spear out, like a meteor chasing the moon, the spear head pierced through the front of the yellow turban soldier's chest and pierced out of the body. The yellow turban soldier was staggered back several steps by the spear. He was about to take another step forward, but he lost his strength.

Xu Zhong rushed to the horse, jumped down, and said, "Xunjun, get on the horse!"

Liu Dengyi danced the flag and rushed over, pulled out his saber in his backhand, ran to Xun Zhen, and circled around Xun Zhen for half a circle, killing all the yellow turban soldiers who were forced to come up.

Fan Yangting crossed the border to attack thieves, Yangcheng was tame, and Xun Zhen had experienced a lot of danger, but it was the first time that he was so close to death.

At the juncture of life and death, he broke out in cold sweat, propped his spear on the ground, and stood firm.

He did not take the reins handed over by Xu Zhong, and looked around. There were about seventy or eighty yellow turban soldiers nearby. Although Liu Deng forced him to retreat, he was urged by a strong man with a sword thirty or forty paces away. After rushing, it has not yet collapsed, and there is a tendency to gather again. He pointed his spear at him and said, "This thief is handsome!" He asked the followers and guests who were chasing after Xu Zhong and Liu Deng, "Who will kill him with me?"

Xu Zhong didn't say a word, put down the reins, picked up the ring knife, jumped forward, crashed into the yellow scarf soldier, stepped forward, killed four or five people in a row, rushed through the crowd, and reached the strong man in armor. He was castrated very fast. It only took a few breaths from the jump to the front. The strong man with the knife was terrified and had no courage to fight. He turned around and tried to flee. Xu Zhong chased after him, grabbed his arm, and kicked his leg.

The strong man couldn't help but fell on his back, Xu Zhong was low, held his back, put the horizontal knife in front of his neck, like killing a chicken, pulled back and cut his neck.

Xu Zhong used the Hundred Steel Knife given by Xun Zhen, which was extremely sharp, and went around the strong man's neck to remove his head.

This strong man lost his head, only his torso remained, and blood spurted into the sky from the broken neck.

There are many ways to die. If being trampled to death by a horse's hoof is a kind of tragic, then being cut off of the head is a kind of shock to others. Have the Yellow Turban soldiers in Zhou Jin ever seen a corpse without a head? Seeing that a handsome young man who was still majestic just now was so easily killed by Xu Zhong and lost his head, all of them were horrified, and crowded with each other screaming and fleeing.

Jiang Qin was ordered by Xun Zhen to fight in the back, but he was unable to rescue Xun Zhen just now. At this time, he saw Xu Zhong's majesty, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were afraid. Therefore, the northern governor of the post, Xunjun, is here, who will die?"

Jiang Qin's reputation in the south of the county is not small, and Xun Zhen's reputation in the whole county is even greater. Only then did the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans know who they were fighting, and they escaped faster. The people who came from behind did not know the details, and they were still chasing after Xun Zhen and the others. The two bumped into each other and collided.

The fleeing soldiers ran in a hurry, and while pushing the people who came behind, they shouted: "It is Xun Ruhu who has left the city! It is Xun Ruhu who has left the city!"

From near to far, for a while, from far and near, the cries of "Xun Ruhu" and "Xun Ruhu" are everywhere.

There are nearly a thousand soldiers of the Yellow Turbans near, far and far away. There are always warriors among thousands of people, and I heard that Xun Zhen was here. ranks. You hit me, I hit you. Chaos.

Although Xun Zhen is famous and famous, but if the sentence "So the Northern Superintendent is here" is shouted ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ when she leaves the city, the effect will definitely be far less than it is now. In any case, there were more than 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city, unlike when the village was attacked by the snow that night, there were not many Taoists in the village. How brave people are. No matter how great Xun Zhen's reputation was, there were only a hundred or ten people who followed him out of the city, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans were not necessarily afraid, but this time it was different. He rushed out of the city, and then turned back the same way, going back and forth in no way, the Yellow Turban soldiers were already terrified, and hearing his name again was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and 90% of the people were gone. his courage.

Xun Zhen got on Xu Zhong's mount and charged forward with a spear.

Xu Zhong came back with the head of the little handsome and guarded it on foot. Liu Deng hugged the flag with his left arm and held a knife in his right hand, dashing to kill. The big and small Su, the big and the big are in the center of the command. Jiang Qin firmly held the rear of the palace.

The crowd rushed forward and marched forward, like a broken bamboo, and smoothly retreated to the moat. Under the guidance of the red flag, they crossed the bridge and entered the city.

On the top of the city and inside the city gate, the drums did not stop.

Gao Su and Feng Gong led the drumming, and they were sweating profusely. Wen Pin rushed out of the door and led a horse to Xun Zhen. The people returned to the city.

Together with Xun Zhen, Liu Deng, etc., there were more than 100 people when they left the city, and only two people were missing when they returned to the city. In this battle, hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers were killed and wounded, two of them were killed and less than ten were injured.

The city gate slowly closed, Xun Zhen turned her head to look back, and saw through the crack of the door that the hundreds of knights and soldiers that Bo Cai had sent to encircle them had not yet reached the river.

Prefect Wen lowered his honor and brought Zhong Yao, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Han Liang, Fei Chang and others down the city to greet him in person.

Prefect Wen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yingyin milk tiger is well-deserved. I have heard the name of Qing for a long time, and now I know Qing Yong."

Zhong Yao, Han Liang and other county officials all showed admiration.

Only Fei Chang, the county chief, was dripping with sweat on his forehead, his legs and feet were weak, and he hid behind everyone, not daring to look up at him.
