Chapter 736 Cao Jun Is Coming!
Tap tap tap!
The horse's hoofs trampled hard on the ground. Xia Houyuan's upper body swayed slightly with the rhythm of the war horse. He held the long-handled sword in both hands and drew it suddenly.
Sa!
With the help of the power of the galloping war horse, the strength of the man and the horse became one. This knife suddenly slashed on the body of a Jiangdong soldier, directly splitting the Jiangdong soldier into two, and the blood in the flat wound was like a rain.
Dozens of Cao Jun's cavalry behind Xiahou Yuan roared excitedly, and the sabers in their hands dropped instantly. The courage of a dozen Jiangdong soldiers suddenly disappeared without a trace, and their faces turned ashen.
When a person rides on a war horse, he becomes a lot taller. The cavalry rushes in, especially the cavalry in groups, like a wall being pushed flatly. The power contained in it is endless, and ordinary infantry have no power at all. The courage to fight.
The elite soldiers of Jiangdong Army were all taken by Zhou Yu to put down the rebellion, and the rest were assigned to He Qi to suppress Shanyue. The rest were stationed in Wu County. The Jiangdong Army in Lou County were not considered elite, and their number was really small. There are too few. If there are hundreds or thousands of people, it will be nothing to resist the cavalry.
"Death to the enemy!" A cavalryman from Cao's army raised his saber high and charged towards Jiangdong's county lieutenant with a ferocious smile. The war horse sprinted within ten steps, and the sword in his hand suddenly fell.
"Hey!"
Unlike the surrounding Jiangdong soldiers, this county captain was an elite soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles. When he saw the saber fall, he immediately narrowed his eyes, suddenly shouted, and raised his arms!
The county lieutenant unexpectedly put his left arm against the saber in a mysterious and mysterious way, then clamped it to the right with force, and clamped the saber tightly with his flesh.
Cao Cao's cavalry was furious and pulled back the knife with all his strength. The blade cut the county captain's skin and flesh, and blood flowed out. However, the county lieutenant gritted his teeth and clamped the saber tightly. The long sword in his right hand instantly slashed out, hitting the horse's head just right.
"Hoar!"
The war horse was slashed with a knife, and the blood flowed like a fountain. It immediately hissed, and the owner was lifted off its back due to the pain. Cao Bing screamed in pain and hit the ground on his head and face. Jiangdong Bing County Lieutenant endured the pain and took a step forward. He held the Huanshou knife tightly with both hands and stabbed it down hard.
Poof!
"ah!"
Cao Bing screamed and fainted immediately after being stabbed in the vital part by the knife.
Xia Houyuan frowned, turned the horse's head, without saying a word, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped out.
"die!"
The long knife was raised suddenly with the force of fishing for the moon from the bottom of the sea. Jiangdong Bingxian Lieutenant had already run out of gas and was immediately split in half. He could not die anymore.
"Pursue the fleeing enemy troops and don't miss anyone!"
Xia Houyuan shouted loudly and galloped on his horse. Dozens of Cao Jun's cavalry followed him. The sound of horse hooves shook the surrounding area, and some animals that came out to look for food at night were frightened and fled away.
Wu Can ran as hard as he could. There was still one shoe on his left foot, but the other shoe had been thrown away. Wu Can stepped deeply into the grass, covered in cold sweat. Under Jiang Dongbing's life-saving protection, Wu Can escaped for several hundred meters. However, after a burst of fighting, the sound of horse hooves sounded again behind him. When I got up, Wu Can became even more anxious.
"Catch the enemy and don't let him escape!"
The shouts of killing behind him were getting closer and closer. Cold sweat broke out on Wu Can's forehead. He was about to be overtaken by the enemy, but he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief because a river appeared.
Very good! Most of Cao's soldiers were from the north and could not swim. As long as they crossed this river, there would be no problem.
Wu Can didn't have time to think too much, so he sped up and ran all the way. When he rushed to the shore, his legs suddenly jumped up, and he plunged into the river. The cold river water made Wu Can feel cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, but Wu Can couldn't help it. Gritting his teeth, he rowed forward with both arms, his arms kept slapping the water, and flew forward.
At this time, Xia Houyuan also led dozens of Cao's cavalry to the shore, but the horses were frightened and stopped, and the Cao soldiers on the horses also looked at Xia Houyuan with embarrassment.
"General, I can't swim."
Sergeant Cao's soldiers were all from the north. They were proficient in riding horses and fighting on foot, but they couldn't swim at all. Facing the river in front of them, they suddenly felt fearful.
Xia Houyuan snorted coldly: "You don't need to know how to swim, I can kill this guy!"
After saying that, he took out an arrow from the quiver on his back, put it on the bowstring, and pulled it open with all his strength.
Tsk!
When Wu Can heard the sound of bowstrings behind him, he was suddenly startled. He took a deep breath, and his whole body instantly dived into the water, diving with all his strength.
Xia Houyuan frowned. As soon as Wu Can dived into the water, it was difficult for him to aim. In desperation, he had no choice but to aim at Wu Can's neck and shoot an arrow!
Whoosh—pop!
The sharp arrow flew out, penetrated into the water, and hit Wu Can. A muffled sound was heard immediately.
"Well"
Suddenly a trace of blood emerged from the water, and the surrounding Cao soldiers cheered.
"General's sharpshooting!"
"This kid will definitely die if he gets hit by this arrow."
Xia Houyuan did not speak, but stood by the river and watched for a while. When he saw that no body was floating up from the river, he turned around.
"Let's go!"
"Oh ho!"
Dozens of Cao soldiers gathered around Xia Houyuan and galloped backwards.
Not long after Cao Jun's cavalry galloped out, a figure suddenly appeared in the water.
"Pfft! Wow!"
Wu Can came out of the water, his face pale, and there was an arrow stuck in his back, but it was only shot into the body, but did not penetrate from the chest, because he was wearing an armor, and after the arrow entered the water , the strength has weakened.
As for why a sharpshooter like Xia Houyuan didn't kill Wu Can with one arrow, the reason is very simple, it's just the refraction of water.
Wu Chan took a few deep breaths, gently paddled his arms, and swam to the other side of the river.
Wu County.
Sun Quan was handling government affairs behind the table. Zhou Yu was leading troops to fight against Cao Cao outside, and He Qi was leading troops to suppress Fu Shanyue. Sun Quan had nothing to do, so he was immersed in handling government affairs all day long.
After finishing handling the pile of bamboo slips on the table, Sun Quan stretched and shook his arms.
At this time, a general with a bronze complexion and a scar across his nose walked in. It was Zhou Tai, the personal protector of Sun Quan.
"My lord, Mr. Zijing would like to see you." Zhou Tai said in a loud voice.
"Brother Zijing?"
Sun Quan frowned: "Then what are you waiting for? Please quickly invite brother Zijing in."
Zhou Tai walked out and walked in after a while. Behind him was another person, wearing a long robe and looking quite friendly. It was Lu Su, the military commander.
"My lord, Lu Su, has met my lord." Lu Su bowed and saluted.
"Brother Zijing, please get up quickly. What's important?"
