Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Strong Pursuit
Zhang Chao did not know what the situation was like in front of him. After all, he had lost contact with Lyu bu for a long time, and no one could guarantee that the other party was still persisting. Zhang Zhiyuan only believed that Lyu bu should still be here because of his confidence in his battle prowess.

“Report.” Not long after, the fast horse scouts rushed back. After arriving in front of Zhang Chao, he got off his horse and knelt down, “Great General, there is a mixed division of Xiongnu cavalry and Yanmen Prefecture infantry five miles ahead. If you take a rough look at its tent, I’m afraid the number is less than three thousand.” “Five miles away is the earth slope. From afar, you can see a tall Lu flag hanging in the air. I’m sure General Lu is still holding on.”

“Oh, General Lu is still attracting the enemy, alright.” Hearing the scout’s report, Zhang Chao was overjoyed. He had been worried that lyu3 bu4 with eight thousand can’t defeat thirty thousand enemies, not to mention the extraordinary strength of the huns cavalry, he even prepared for the vanguard army was seriously injured, lyu3 bu4 with a portion of the remnants of escape. But now, it seemed that the situation was much better than he had imagined.

After knowing that Lyu bu was fine, Zhang Chao called Zhao Yun and said, “General Zi Long, I will give you a task for the Dragon and Tiger Army, which is to immediately take a detour and ambush the south gate of Yin Guan City. Once the enemy escapes to the city gate, they will rush into the city and occupy the city. They will report to our army.”

“Yes.” Zhao Yun cupped his fists and agreed, then turned around to leave. Zhang Chao pulled him back and said, “Zilong, the difficulty of your mission this time is that you have a long way to go. You need to make a detour to the enemy’s rear, and time is tight. When you arrive, you still need to rush into the city. You might be able to complete it well?”

“Master and rest assured, the cloud and the Dragon Tiger Army will not disappoint master.” Zhao Yun also knew how difficult the task was, but it was Zhang Chao who ordered it, so he had no reason to refuse.

“Alright.” Seeing that Zhao Yun was so confident, Zhang Chao said excitedly, “It’s up to Zi Long and the Dragon-Tiger Army’s generals to show their might. Remember, as long as you can complete the mission, the Yan Sect will be restored tonight. Come, give all the food I brought to Zi Long and the Dragon-Tiger Army’s battalion commander.”

Speaking of excitement, Zhang Chao said to Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

‘”Lord, this is something that First Madame specially prepared for you before the Second Madame left. None of us …” Dian Wei raised his head with a look of reluctance. He originally wanted to say that he wasn’t willing to eat, so why did he have to give it to someone else?

“Shut up. Zhong Kang, do as I say. Where is the Iron Guard? Bring Zi Man to the side.” Zhang Chao’s face immediately darkened as he berated angrily.

Dian Wei was the chief guard of the Iron Guard. He and Xu Chu managed and protected Zhang Chao’s personal safety together, because the two of them were strong and loyal to Zhang Chao. They had always been respected by the Iron Guard. Normally, he would not dare to do anything to him.

However, the order was given by Zhang Chao, so he had to say something else. A few iron guards immediately rushed forward and held Dian Wei down.

Being held down by the Iron Guard, Dian Wei habitually wanted to resist. Xu Chu, who was standing beside him, carefully moved forward and said, “Shut up, you’ve delayed Lord’s big event. It’s not enough to use your head to offer a flag.”

Dian Wei was just honest after hearing Xu Chu’s words. Seeing that Zhang Chao was still wearing a tiger’s face, he was so scared that he completely shut his mouth.

On the other side, xu chu took out the food prepared for zhang chao by CAI Yan and Bai Tong, and sent it to zhao yun.

Zhao Yun looked at these delicacies that should only be enjoyed by Lord and was so excited that he was speechless.

“Zilong, don’t think too much about it. Just distribute these things to everyone. This is just a personal token of my gratitude. Alright, send them out now. I’m afraid it’ll be too late at night.” Seeing Zhao Yun’s excited expression, Zhang Chao stepped forward and patted his back, then said with a placating expression.

“Yes.” Zhao Yun said with tears in his eyes, then turned around and rode towards the Dragon Tiger Army behind him. It could be imagined that after he returned, he would definitely give an excited speech.

After Zhang Chao sent Zhao Yun away, he came to Dian Wei’s side and said, “Zi Man, if you don’t listen to the military order, do you mind if I punish you?”

“No, I wonder how Lord will punish me?” After Dian Wei calmed down, he knew that he was wrong.

“Mm, then I’ll punish you for not drinking for half a year.” Zhang Chao smiled and revealed a strange expression.

“Ah! Lord, isn’t this too heavy? Please change it for me.” Hearing that he couldn’t drink for half a year, Dian Wei really cried out for his life and pleaded for mercy.

“Oh, that’s right. Then I’ll punish you for killing an enemy general when you charge. Remember, if you can’t kill a general, then you’ll lose.” Zhang Chao knew that the other party would not agree, so he pretended to take a back seat and said.

Hearing that he could drink after killing the general, Dian Wei immediately agreed, “Alright, I’ll leave everything to Old Dian.”

“Alright, this is equivalent to a warrant. In this way, I will hand over a thousand Zhangjiajun heavy cavalry to you later. I hope you won’t disappoint me.” Zhang Chao nodded and gave the order.

Upon hearing that the most elite cavalry of the Zhang Clan had been lent to him, Dian Wei immediately said excitedly, “Master, don’t worry, Zi Man will definitely not disappoint you.”

Seeing all of this, Xu Chu was filled with envy. If he had known earlier, he would have jumped out. Now, Dian Wei would be given the chance to make a contribution.

After making the arrangements, Zhang Chao let everyone rest on the spot, and at the same time released the scouts five miles away, constantly monitoring the movements of the Ada Army.

In order to not attract attention, Zhang Chao did not even put up the tent this time, so he leaned against a big tree to rest.

It was winter and December, and the weather was extremely cold. However, when everyone saw that even Lord was treated the same as them, they immediately stopped feeling cold. Speaking of which, there weren’t many sergeants beside Zhang Chao right now. They were only 1,000 Zhang Clan heavy cavalry and 2,000 Zhang Clan light cavalry.

However, these were all elites among the absolute elites. They were all existences that could be treated as one. With the existence of these people, as long as they weren’t ambushed on all sides, Zhang Chao was confident that he could kill a path of blood and escape.

Time passed. When it was time for Zi and Chou, it was two o’clock in the middle of the night. Zhang Chao and his three thousand subordinates all woke up and were ready to attack.

Dian Wei’s face was filled with joy. He took a step forward with a thousand Zhangjiajun heavy cavalry and slowly began to touch the Ada army. Zhang Chao and Xu Chu followed behind with two thousand Zhangjiajun light cavalry in the dark.

Zhang Chao and the others followed after Dian Wei left for half an hour. After advancing for about three miles, the shouts of killing came from the front.

“Lord, it seems that the Old Divine Scripture has already fought with them.” Hearing the intense shouts of killing, Xu Chu, who was holding a long broadsword, said excitedly.

“En, hurry up. Let’s go up as well. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to make any contribution.” Hearing the excitement in Xu Chu’s tone, Zhang Chao chuckled.

“Alright.” Xu Chu hurriedly agreed. At the same time, he let go of his voice and said to the Zhangjiajun light cavalry beside him, “Lord has a life. Speed up and enter the battlefield.”

Xu chu shouts led to two thousand already anxious to cry zhangjiajun light cavalry is a loud shout, the sound of hurried horse hooves, zhang chao under the protection of several iron guards rushed forward.

Zhang Chao’s speed wasn’t slow anymore, just waiting for him to arrive. The battle had already ended, leaving only five hundred Jiazhong cavalry here. When the battalion commander saw Zhang Chao coming, he hurriedly strode forward and knelt down 20 feet away. “Second Childe, General Dian brought a battalion of brothers and the vanguard army of General Lu to chase after the enemy. This is the head of an enemy general named Liu Zai. However, General Dian said that this person’s status is still too low and he wants to catch a big fish.”

Looking at the bloody head of Liu Zai in front of him, Zhang Chao lightly nodded his head and then said to the scene, “Leave two battalions of light cavalry to clean up the battlefield. The others will follow me and chase after me.”

…

At this moment, a dense crowd was walking forward through the slope.

Among them was Lu Bu’s vanguard army and Dian Wei’s battalion of Zhangjiajun heavy cavalry.

“Old Dian, it will all be up to you. As long as I can break through the enemy’s outer faction, I can bring the vanguard army inside and cause the greatest damage to the enemy.” Lyu bu, who wore a purple-gold crown, a hundred-flower robe, and a heroic expression, said to Dian Wei as he sprinted forward with the Scarlet Hare.

“Don’t worry.” Dian Wei’s eyes widened like a copper bell. With the most elite cavalry of the Zhang Clan behind him, there was nothing he didn’t dare to do.

Just now, with the heavy cavalry of the two battalions charging forward, they had already destroyed more than three thousand of Ada’s troops. Unfortunately, only killed a han liu in, the huns general ada and Attila don’t know where to go.

Dian Wei, who felt that he hadn’t obtained much credit, ran into Lu Bu, who was looking for him. The next two people a total, then led troops straight to the xiongnu heir to the ministry.

Dian Wei’s main duty was to protect Lord Zhang Chao’s safety, but he was also a fierce general. He liked the feeling of galloping on the battlefield. Now that he finally had such an opportunity, he could attack without restraint. How could he not do his best?

Lu Bu was also the same. Previously, he had been trapped in the dirt slope for a few days. He had lost his troops and lost generals. There was a wave of anger in his heart. Now that he had the chance to take revenge, how could he be so courteous?

When the two of them gathered, a murderous aura filled the sky, so much so that they were only three thousand five hundred people and rushed to attack the team of at least ten thousand people, and most of them were elite cavalry of the huns.
